I've Become the King of Villains in the Game-Chapter 230 - 175: Two Wooden Cabins! (Three in One)_4
"Is it Polaris and the others, resurrected here?!"
She exclaimed in surprise.
When those several figures fully appeared, it turned out to be Polaris and the other six players.
Su Keying and her group quickened their pace toward them, noticing that the players were all looking around with bewildered expressions.
"Where is this place? Why has the Resurrection Point changed...?"
asked Doghead Gold.
He and Forget No Taboo had reverted to their human forms, but were suffering from the negative status "Flesh Collapse," with several of their Attributes halved, rendering them almost incapacitated.
"It must be that cottage...!"
Polaris pointed to the cottage next to the path and said.
"Su Keying, you guys did it! This must be a new Save Point... so after we die, we’ll resurrect here!"
"So that’s how it is..."
Dongyang’s eyes lit up with realization, and then he shared what he and Horseman Kuang Benkuang had seen at the end of the left fork.
"...We also found a cottage, but it was guarded by more powerful ratman monsters, and we were all instantly killed."
He looked unhappy.
"Forget it, the quest didn’t specifically require us to find a certain number of cottages. Since we’ve found this one, we can consider our mission completed."
Polaris consoled.

He then took out a pile of "items" from the rats and began:
"Back in the hole, things were too hectic, and in the end, I only managed to pick up these..."
"Wow! Polaris, I absolutely love you!"
Doghead Gold, with an exaggerated look, rushed over to give Polaris a hug.
Polaris simply kicked him to the ground.
"Scram!"
The scene twisted and rippled.
By the lakeside statue.
Chen Lun was tallying his spoils of war with a grin so wide it could warp his face.
"Fifteen, sixteen, seventeen... Wow! Twenty pieces of Supernatural materials! Plus, three portions of ’Low Sequence Pure Substance’!"
He swept these items into the Blood Poem Ring with a grand gesture.
Standing up, he still held a heart in his hand.
[Supernatural Material - Iron Armor Heart (Nature Faction)]
’This is the Supernatural material from that iron-armored ratman, obviously a bit more advanced... Its power must have reached the limit of Sequence Nine, but before ’Suicide Soldier’ comrade Polaris, it still knelt.’
Chen Lun shook his head.
’Players with high-powered bombs are not to be underestimated!’
He glanced at the lake surface once more, a smile spreading across his face.
’We have already found one cottage... good! You have completed your task! But before that...’
Chen Lun closed his eyes, meditating inwardly, and connected with the "Forest Number One" cottage.
’I didn’t expect to find two cottages in one go. I’ll go activate the other one myself...!’
Besides the cottage that Su Keying and her group had found, Dongyang, Horseman, and Kuang Benkuang had also discovered one at the end of the left fork in the tunnels.
But before they could get close, they were shot dead by a three-headed ratman wielding a bow.
Such powerful monsters could only be dealt with personally... and it was fortunate for him that they had scouted the path, saving him quite a bit of trouble!

Chen Lun set out from "Forest Number One."
Following the players’ footprints, he quickly arrived at the sinkhole burrow.
’If it weren’t for these players, I might not have found this burrow...’
Chen Lun thought to himself.
He leaped down, heading straight for the left fork.
Ratmen appeared on the path, all of whom were shot in the head with the Order Revolver.
Though he was using ordinary bullets, their power was much greater than that of a Flintlock Gun. Upon being shot, the ratmen’s heads exploded into pieces.
Even the slightly tougher leather-armored ratmen couldn’t withstand a single hit from his Silver Staff.
For Chen Lun, creatures that were extremely dangerous to the players were no match; they were killed with a single strike.
In this way, he bulldozed his way to the end of the left fork, and Chen Lun personally entered this spacious "Underground Plaza."
As soon as he arrived, his Spiritual Intuition started to send out warnings.
Whoosh—!!
A massive Iron Arrow tore through the air towards him.
Chen Lun chuckled softly, and with a slight movement, he vanished from his original spot.
Boom!
The arrow struck where he had previously been standing, blasting a hole in the ground.

The tall ratman, clad in chain mail, was highly vigilant; its three rodent heads on its neck worked in tandem, looking left and right, attempting to locate where the human had gone.
At that moment.
Four or five pale purple crescent-shaped Sword Qis flew over its head.
Squeak, squeak...!
The tri-headed ratman scurried away in panic, but the Sword Qi was too fast; it had only taken one step before being struck, with deep, bone-revealing wounds slashed across its body.
It fell forwards, twitching a few times before laying still.
Blood spread from beneath it.
[You have killed a contaminated creature "Tri-Headed Ratman"! Gained 800 Experience Points!]
’These ratmen wield terrifying deterrence from afar, but once you get up close, they are no different from the lowest-level gray robed ratman.’
Chen Lun retracted his black wings and landed gracefully.
He leaned on his Silver Staff and picked up the Supernatural materials from the tri-headed ratman.
[Supernatural Material - Ratman’s Three-Eyed Sphere (Nature Faction)]
’It’s a Supernatural material of the same level as the [Iron Armor Heart]...’
Having secured it, Chen Lun headed straight for the cabin.
To his surprise, he did not encounter any more danger on his way to the cabin door.
’It seems this cabin is hidden deep within the rat’s nest, and by reason, it should be quite difficult to reach. That tri-headed ratman must have been the final guardian monster.’
Creak...
He pushed open the door of the cabin and entered.
The interior was furnished exactly like the other cabins, which didn’t surprise Chen Lun at all.
Reaching the table, this time, Chen Lun saw that familiar box.
Bright and colorful graffiti, as well as a hastily scrawled smiley face.
"It’s Philip’s lowbrow sense of humor again."
Chen Lun shook his head and reached out to open the box.
He was ready for the pop-up red lips to startle him or for colorful confetti to burst into the air.
But in the end, when the box was fully opened, nothing happened.
Inside was just a small red ball lying there quietly.
Beside the small ball, there was also a casually torn scrap of paper—
"Put it on your nose, and you’ll get the answer you’re looking for. —Philip"
"..."
Chen Lun’s forehead throbbed with veins as he slowly picked up the red ball.
After reading the note, he finally knew what it was—a clown’s red nose!
’Can’t get angry, it’s not dignified to be vexed by a dead man.’
He took a deep breath.
’So what if it’s a clown, everyone laughs at clowns, everyone is a clown... For the sake of getting stronger, what’s wrong with being a clown for once?’
Chen Lun silently spun strange logic to convince himself.
Then he proceeded to put on the red nose.
Buzz!
[You have discovered [Mystic Realm Supernatural Law Three (Partial)], gaining 10,000 Experience Points!]
[Supernatural Asymmetry Law (Incomplete): ...No two leaves in the world are identical, nor are any two Attributes. The number of Supernatural Attributes is asymmetric, as is their quality...]
Chen Lun suddenly had a realization.
’The asymmetry in number mentioned here means that in the same path, the number of Attributes of high and low Sequences is always asymmetric, waxing and waning...
And the same applies between adjacent paths!
The asymmetry in quality means that even within the same path and the same Sequence, there will be subtle differences among different individuals...’
Chen Lun seemed to have understood something; he looked up and gazed at his palm.
’Asymmetry implies imperfection, spurring evolution, spiraling upwards.’
