I've Become the King of Villains in the Game-Chapter 852 - 538: The Treasured Book
Chapter 852: Chapter 538: The Treasured Book
Tonight is snowless.
Chen Lun walked slowly along the academy path, with tall lampposts on both sides, emanating bright yellow light from the top. The surroundings were tranquil.
He looked at the description on the task panel and couldn’t help but laugh heartily.
Maybe this task was somewhat difficult for others, but for him, it could be considered easy... Not to mention that with his own Mystical Weight, he could easily divine some hidden strongholds of the other two schools, it wasn’t hard to obtain what Gallio needed.
Just in the Crystal Mountain Range area of the Immortal Realm, there were plenty of "task materials" readily available!
Scattered across the mountains are the Mage Towers from the three major schools, along with various stone-carved monsters wandering near the tower and countless broken fragments... All of these could be picked up and handed over directly.
’Just one trip to the Immortal Realm... Though the notes mention quantity and quality affect the final reward, the quality is hard to say, but as for quantity...’
Chen Lun chuckled quietly to himself and shook his head.
He believed Gallio would be moved by his sincerity.
Returning to the apartment, he didn’t see Polaris and Sunny Xiaoyu. The former hadn’t returned from washing dishes, and the latter was studying with Lucy Asoka and would come back later.
He went upstairs alone, and after entering his room, he sat directly on the chair and took out "Philip’s Dreamland Adventure."
With a swish.
The pages flipped, and white light suddenly appeared.
Chen Lun appeared in a wooden hut within the Crystal Mountain Range.
He pushed open the door and stepped out, instantly blinking to the side of the mountain where the hut was situated. In front of him was a pile of elephant-head statue remnants, including heads, bodies, and even limbs, all present.
’Hmm, let’s gather dozens of these creations from the School of Everything first.’
Without any visible action from Chen Lun, the pile of remnants started to tremble, rumbling loudly. Dozens of watermelon-sized pieces floated up by themselves and arranged neatly in front of him.
Pieces from various parts were present, barely enough to assemble a complete elephant-head humanoid statue.
Thump! Thump!
At this moment, the stone-carved monster statues wandering around noticed him. Six blue-glowing eyes stared fixedly, and a dozen or so surged toward him, causing the ground to tremble slightly.
But Chen Lun didn’t even glance at them; he lightly raised an index finger.
Wriggling shadows instantly covered his finger.
"Earth Trace."
Buzz!
The towering and heavy statue monsters were caught by a strong gravitational force as if they were toys, rising into the air, spinning and swaying, and crashing fiercely together to form a huge "ball" suspended in mid-air.
’Let’s get one more complete statue...’
Chen Lun rubbed his chin thoughtfully.
With a twitch of his black index finger, a lone elephant-head statue was "picked" out and flew to him.
His white magic wand lightly tapped the statue’s head, and with a ping sound, the Energy Baryte inside was shattered into dust by an invisible force. The blue light in its eyes dissipated, and it lost all movement.
Chen Lun left this statue, stretching out his bent black index finger, then flicked it upward.
"Heaven Seal."
Buzz!
The group of statues compressed into a massive rock ball was instantly scattered as if struck by an invisible giant stick. An unstoppable Repulsive Force pushed their heavy bodies away until they disappeared from sight.
After a short while, faint rumbling sounds began to echo from the foothills in the distance. frёeωebɳovel.com
’Off to the next mountain.’
Chen Lun took out a silver cube the size of a Rubik’s cube and stored the statues and remnants in front of him. Then he turned around and vanished from the spot.
The silver cube was a dimensional pocket from the Silver Dragon Trade Association. Though the internal space was small and it was a one-time consumable, it was cheap and convenient... Chen Lun had stocked up on some a long time ago, and now it was perfect for storing these task materials. Otherwise, the Blood Poem Ring would definitely not be able to hold them.
He also intended to commission the Silver Dragon Trade Association to look for larger storage-type Mysterious Objects. The Blood Poem Ring wouldn’t be obsolete, but having a few more wouldn’t hurt.
An hour later.
Chen Lun had scoured over thirty mountain peaks and was now standing at the mouth of the abyss in the mountain range, with dozens of silver cubes floating above him, all filled with statues and remnants.
’Should be enough...’
He thought to himself, looking at the cubes.
With a flick of his hand, the silver cubes assembled into a large cube the size of a box, and then with a puff, turned into a silver fat cat that dumbly sat on his shoulder.
’Since I’m here, might as well visit Clarence...’
With a smile, he leapt into the abyss chasm.
On this trip to the Immortal Realm, Chen Lun planned to tour the depths of the four regions once more, witnessing those Mythical wonders and pollution sources again, and gathering knowledge from the paths of Nature, Conspiracy, Flesh, and Magic.
After ascending to a higher rank and defeating Howard, Chen Lun felt he had truly become the master of the Immortal Realm, and with his current Mystical Weight and resistance, he could completely withstand the corrosion of the four major pollution sources.
Moments later.
Chen Lun arrived once more at the underground pit filled with dazzling crystal formations.
In the distance, he could faintly hear the sacred and solemn chanting resonating from the darkness... This time, he had no intention of hiding but walked slowly on the uneven rocky ground.
Crunch, crunch...
The sound of his footsteps was faint but particularly jarring in the silent environment.
Soon, the familiar gigantic figure once more loomed into Chen Lun’s view. A massive head wearing a crystal mask moved sideways in mid-air, countless mouths on its surface opening and closing, chanting.
Hundreds of blue sculptures carved with the face of Lady Fleurette emerged from the darkness and surged toward him.
But Chen Lun’s expression remained unchanged. He held his white magic wand in one hand and took off his black top hat with the other, first bowing slightly towards the giant above him, performing a salute.
Then he calmly raised his head and looked directly at the "Out-of-Control God of the Mural," his gaze piercing through the black hollow eye sockets, gazing at its true form beneath...
Buzz!!
Invisible pollution, accompanied by vast knowledge, poured into Chen Lun’s mind, yet his Sanity Value did not plummet as it had before but decreased slightly at a steady and extremely slow pace.
From the Magic Path’s Sequence Nine [Scholar] to Sequence Four [Ancient Scholar], Chen Lun had grasped all that knowledge last time. This time, he had gained the knowledge of Sequence Three [Wizard]!
But when the mythical knowledge of the [Wizard] completely entered Chen Lun’s mind, the influx of knowledge abruptly stopped, leaving only pollution...
’The reworking of the Immortal Realm can only retain the extremely small power of the original target, along with the pollution and knowledge as well... But that’s fine, Your Majesty Oscar has reminded me, the current angelic knowledge is harmful rather than beneficial to me.’
Chen Lun thought to himself, glimpsing at the statues already very close, and then he turned and disappeared through blink.
After returning to the surface, he opened the panel for a quick check, finding that his character attributes’ 240 points of Sanity Value had only dropped by 9 points.
’There is no existence in the Immortal Realm that can threaten me anymore...’
Chen Lun felt a sense of loss.
Just like a player who has completely cleared the game, there was a sense of emptiness.
A few seconds later, his gaze pulled back from the twisted horizon’s end, his eyes regained depth, and a smile appeared on his lips.
’I can’t get carried away, only when I can roam the Dream Realm will I be considered to be among the world’s top ranks...’
Taking a deep breath, Chen Lun turned to look in the true north direction.
’Next stop, the Sea of Blood...’

Reality.
Professor’s apartment, master bedroom on the third floor.
The gentleman in the black hat who had been sitting motionless on the chair suddenly had a sparkle return to his eyes, naturally straightened his body, and a smile spread across his face.
Chen Lun turned to glance at the Purple Moon outside the window, thinking:
’Nature Sequence Three [Creator], Flesh Sequence Three [Fallen Duke], and Conspiracy Sequence Three [Window Knocker] are all in hand.’
There was a dazed silver fat cat sitting on his shoulder. Chen Lun grabbed it and casually placed it on the table before walking to the window to silently watch the night scene.
This station, was just for one night.
As the morning sun slowly rose and dawn broke through, Chen Lun’s calm expression showed a slight change.
His brain had not rested; it had been thinking and quickly running through the magical books he had read that night, sorting out the vast knowledge, integrating it, and projecting various ideas based on his own abilities...
’There’s a vague direction, but the knowledge reserve is still insufficient.’
Chen Lun exhaled deeply.
He turned around; the clock on the wall read eight forty.

At Saint Byron’s Great Library, just after the doors opened, Chen Lun blinked to the secret vault on the fifth floor right on time. Gallio, who had just sat down on the registration desk chair, looked up to find a tall black-hatted figure suddenly appearing in front of him.
He was dumbfounded for a moment but quickly returned to normal.
"Good day, Your Majesty Jack, you’re here earlier today."
Gallio said with a faint smile.
Without wasting words, Chen Lun directly placed a silver fat cat on the registration desk in front of Gallio’s doubtful eyes and said:
"I’ve brought what you wanted."
"Hmm?"
Gallio looked even more puzzled.
Bang.
White mist appeared.
The silver fat cat reverted into more than thirty silver blocks, neatly arranged on the desk. Chen Lun smiled and said:
"These are creations from the Idol School and the Universal School, traces of time even going back thousands of years."
Gallio did not reply, he picked up a silver block and immediately opened it...
Booming sounds!
Several stone sculpture fragments rolled out from his hand, landing on the ground with a thud, followed by a three-meter-tall complete statue standing at his side.
Gallio took a deep breath, a feverish sparkle erupted behind his lenses, and he finally exclaimed almost uncontrollably:
"Excellent!"
He glanced at Chen Lun in surprise, then shifted all his attention to the statues and fragments beside him.
Moments later.
Before others could arrive on the fifth floor to borrow books, Gallio had completed the verification, his gaze at Chen Lun now filled with admiration.
"Although I don’t know how Your Majesty managed to obtain such rare ancient objects in such a short period, I must thank you..."
Gallio’s attitude became solemn.
A dried plain wand appeared in his hand, he pointed it at an empty spot in front of him, with a hum, an irregular dimension window appeared, and he carefully reached in to retrieve an old book.
"This is my personal collection, as a reward for Your Majesty."
Chen Lun reached out and took it.

[Completed A-level hidden quest: School Research!]
[Received quest reward: 200,000 Experience Points, 500 Blue Gabo, and Gallio’s Affection!]
