I've Become the King of Villains in the Game

However, after noticing Polaris's playful gaze, they dismissed the idea, as no one wanted to taste what it was like to be roasted.

Forget No Taboo was the quickest to kneel, shouting "Brother Polaris" on the spot, and was awarded a "Connie Number One" "Limited Time Experience Coupon".

For over half an hour, the Flower and Bird Tavern echoed with waves of excited shouts from Forget No Taboo, causing the tavern's patrons to stiffen up in astonishment.

The Horseman and Doghead Gold secretly despised him but deep down, they felt a bit envious.

And a bit heartbroken as well.

Not only that, but the mysterious object shaped like a spoon eventually ended up in Su Keying's hands. The Horseman was so anxious that he immediately shouted a high price, sufficient for Su Keying to exchange for better equipment in the real world.

Luckily, Su Keying didn't care much for the mysterious object and sold it to him.

It turned out to be a win-win situation.

"—That spoon, quite silly looking, can enlarge and elongate to be used as a weapon. But every time it's used, you have to hit yourself 250 times…"

This was the message Su Keying sent to Polaris after selling the item.

Soon, amidst laughter, several people entered Jack's manor.

"You're here, please have a seat."

In the villa's living room, the black-haired young man smiled, gesturing with his hand.

Polaris and his four companions carefully took their seats on the sofa, their eyes cautiously resting on Chen Lun.

Chen Lun wore an ancient-looking leather glove on his right hand, picked up a bottle of expensive red wine, and poured a glass for each of the five players.

Then, he poured milk into his own goblet.

"Amber City's Red Apple Church has been destroyed by me; I appreciate your help greatly."

Chen Lun raised his wine glass.

"Let's toast."

The others internally grumbled about this powerful NPC's unusual habits; a goblet for drinking milk was indeed elegant.

"We just did a little bit, the main credit goes to Mr. Jack for killing the bishop of the Church by himself."

Polaris lifted his glass with a serious face, the others quickly followed suit.

Clang.

The glasses clinked, and everyone tilted their heads back to drink the red wine, just then they saw Mr. Jack burp a little milky burp.

"..."

Everyone wanted to say something, but dared not make a sound, exchanging glances in silence.

It didn't take long for the group of five players to see the black-haired young man cross his legs leisurely, leaning back on the sofa, the Silver Staff casually resting by his side, his smiling face gradually turning serious.

They straightened their bodies in response.

"Although the Amber City Red Apple Church is destroyed, the daunting task still lies far ahead…"

Chen Lun spoke gravely.

Inside, the group secretly thought as expected.

"—The second phase of the mission is approaching!"

"You all have great potential, but are still too weak; I am willing to offer you some help…"

As Chen Lun's calm words floated over, the group of five players simultaneously received a notification box—

[Triggered B-level Hidden Serial Mission: The Shattered Amber Apple!]

Second Phase: Considering your contribution to the team and Mr. Jack's appreciation for you, he decides to give you an opportunity.

Hint: This opportunity is extremely rare; handle it carefully!

Mission Reward: [Silver Serpent Ring] (Official Member Token) *1

"!!"

Watching the glowing red notification, their hearts throbbed intensely.

"Having passed my test, I regard you as one of us, so I won't hide it from you... I possess a unique supernatural power that can transport people to The Otherworld to undergo arduous trials." Continue your story on empire

Chen Lun spoke softly, extending his index finger.

Whoosh!

A flame burst from his fingertip, flickering and then transforming into images of the sun, the moon, the stars, flesh, sharp knives, waves, the Earth, books, plants, and playing cards…

The flame illuminated one side of the young man's cheek; he smiled slightly between the light and shadow.

The flame turned into a giant serpent, coiling around him, then biting its own tail, forming a ring of fire behind him.

The group of five from Polaris watched breathlessly, in silence, as they faced this godlike young man.

"I call The Otherworld 'Immortal Realm', a place filled with dangers and opportunities where not only can you find supernatural materials, but also the opportunities for empowerment—within the 'Immortal Realm' lie ten complete paths of ascension, also known as the ten Supernatural Sequences."

The flame dissipated, and the young man's unhurried voice continued.

The group from Polaris felt a surge of heat pause momentarily, their bodies already drenched, hearts racing.

Just by hearing it mentioned, they had already sensed the extent of "Immortal Realm", which was frighteningly high!

Doghead Gold and Forget No Taboo even started shaking uncontrollably, driven by the surge of anticipation and intense excitement within them.

Su Keying clenched her small hand tightly; luckily, she had come to her senses earlier and managed to capture a screenshot, otherwise, she would have regretted it for a long time.

"Mr. Jack, what exactly is this 'Immortal Realm' you mentioned?"

The Horseman felt parched and hoarse as he asked.

"I don't know... Opening the Great Gate to the 'Immortal Realm' is an innate ability of mine, but I still do not know what that place is; I just feel a deep familiarity,"

Chen Lun showed a dejected expression.

"I feel like there are voices there constantly calling to me, chanting my name, hoping I can save that land..."

He lifted his eyelids, gazing at the five players.

"I believe you can help me find the truth... Moreover, this is also a rare opportunity for you because every use of this extraordinary power causes me great harm."

The Polaris Group looked at each other and saw both excitement and seriousness in each other's eyes.

"—I guarantee, this 'Immortal Realm' is definitely a top-tier instance!"

The Horseman sent the message.

"—Then, according to our current level, wouldn't going there be suicide?"

Forget No Taboo replied.

"—@Forget No Taboo: No big deal, the internal phase ends tomorrow, and we must secure the second ring task. Can't you see how valuable official membership is? Bro!"

Doghead Gold's message.

"—The chance is rare, we must take a look. Also, I have a premonition that Jack's background is probably much bigger than we have imagined… This ability to reach other worlds, inherent from birth, combined with prayers and calls from another world, what does that remind you of?"

Polaris's message.

"..."

The chatroom fell into a moment of silence.

A few seconds later, Su Keying sent a message:

"—Erm, could it be a Divine Child?"

"—(Shocked emoji)"

"—(Shocked emoji)"

"—Wow! That's actually possible! (Shocked emoji)"

Chen Lun silently observed the group of players, secretly amused.

It seemed they were hooked...

He had calculated early on to first let these five players go into 'Philip's Dreamland Adventure' to test it out. Let them scout for him and meanwhile, check out the mechanisms inside 'Immortal Realm'.

"Mr. Jack, although it's rude to ask…"

Polaris hesitated.

"Mr. Polaris, we are all insiders here, just speak freely."

Chen Lun smiled slightly.

Polaris took a deep breath, paused for a while, and then tentatively asked:

"May I ask... Is this the only opportunity?"

Chen Lun stood the Silver Staff upright, hands crossed over it, revealing half of his face behind.

His handsome eyes showed a solemn expression, as his magnetic voice gently said:

"No, it is not the only one,"

He denied.

"If you perform excellently in this 'Immortal Realm' trial and become official members... then in the future, as long as your contributions are sufficient, no matter the cost to me, I will continue to open the 'Immortal Realm' Gate for you."

"!!!"

The five players in the chatroom exploded.

What did this mean?

This meant that Jack's top-tier instance could be repeatedly farmed!

As long as they reached the required contribution degree or met some other conditions, they could continually enter and grow stronger by downing the instance.

The Horseman and Polaris, seasoned and experienced, immediately recognized the value.

This was a massive opportunity rarely given to other beta testers, even globally after the public launch!

"Are you ready?"

The young man with black hair looked at them calmly.

"I am going to send you to 'Immortal Realm' now."
