I've Become the King of Villains in the Game-Chapter 248 - 186 Floey Got Drunk

Chapter 248: Chapter 186 Floey Got Drunk

Immortal Realm.

Lakeside cabin.

Chen Lun stood quietly at the doorway of the cabin, scrutinizing the growth of the mysterious grapevine.

‘Ever since the players found those two cabins, this grapevine had already borne fruit. It wasn’t until I arrived in Kazt and activated the Save Point of the spire that it finally matured.’

He counted carefully, and there were only nine mature, plump, purple grapes on the vine.

Chen Lun plucked them one by one.

[Supernatural Item—Fruit of Nature]

Item description: Infused with rich forces of Nature, it seems this extraordinary plant, casually sown by a high-level entity of the Nature Faction, produces grape-like fruits after accumulating enough energy.

Direct consumption can permanently increase the upper limit of Life Points by 200, Physical Strength by 100, Endurance by 2, Charm by 1, and Insight by 1. (Limited to one-time use)

Chen Lun’s eyes sparkled.

‘A supernatural item that can permanently enhance Attributes… Though it can only take effect once, this is still quite a precious thing.’

He thought for a moment, then picked up a grape and popped it into his mouth.

‘For safety’s sake, I’ll consume one first. I’ll use the rest for brewing… This is definitely top-tier raw material.’

[You have consumed the “Fruit of Nature” and feel your body has been strengthened, permanently increasing the upper limit of Life Points by 200, Physical Strength by 100, Endurance by 2, Charm by 1, and Insight by 1.]

“Phew…”

Chen Lun took a comfortable breath and moved his body a little.

‘My Life Points have finally broken through the 1000-point mark, a level that only those of Sequence Seven possess… Next, I’ll return to the present world.’

He thought to himself.

The next second, a white light flickered, and his figure disappeared.

Jack’s estate.

Underground brewing room.

Chen Lun was busy at the workbench.

He was using professional equipment to prepare for fermentation, containing the destemmed, washed, and pressed eight supernatural grapes, crushed pulp, and skin combined.

‘Based on the principles of ordinary wine brewing, the grape skins contain tannins and fruit flavors, and fermentation relies on sugar content. As the sugar decreases, the alcohol concentration increases… This time, I need to brew a strong spirit, so I must reduce the sugar content and prolong the fermentation time!’

Chen Lun then took out several high-level magical ingredients, such as the “Wasteland Berry” obtained from the palm of a barren giant, the “Three-eyed Sphere” of a multi-headed rat, the “Iron Armor Heart,” and the “Frogman’s Tongue” from the Pollution Tide.

Guided by the experience and inspiration of his Max Level Brewmaster, he finally selected the “Wasteland Berry,” crushed it as well, and threw it in.

The blood-red juice, along with the odd fruits, sank into the wort.

‘The Bloody Fine Brew doesn’t require the same steps as ordinary brewers, such as second pressing, aging, transferring containers, and filtering…’

Chen Lun smiled, extending his hand to touch the glass container, accelerating the fermentation process.

The original liquid began to bubble, the sediment and fruit residues inside started to dissolve, and the color of the entire liquid became more vibrant and reddish, ultimately turning thick and rich.

This brewing process was longer and more strenuous than ever before.

Chen Lun controlled his breathing, keeping it as steady as possible, his palm still.

Gurgle gurgle…

The bubbles rising in the container reflected dazzling colors, and upon bursting, splashed up vivid red foam.

At that moment, Chen Lun had a sudden flash of inspiration. Guided by his intuition for Bloody Fine Brew, he took out a bottle of Sun Wine and dripped a drop into the glass container.

Humm!

The originally enchanting bright red wine was now haloed with sanctified light, presenting a contrast that was somehow harmonious and indescribable.

Chen Lun ceased the fermentation, sweating profusely.

He suppressed his panting breath, his eyes shining with delight.

[Supernatural Wine – Unnamed (High-Level)]

Item description: A wine infused with the power of nature, crafted with special techniques, high-level raw materials, and an exceptionally fitting supernatural ingredient.

The final drop of Lucky Wine was a masterstroke.

Item effects: Permanently increases the maximum limit of Life Points by 200, Physical Strength by 100, random Attribute Points (2-5), and Nature affinity; enhances Mystical Accumulation for the Nature Faction. Within 72 hours, Luck Points +1, very small chance of successful fulfillment of one’s desires.

“Hmm… let’s call it ‘Mirna Blood Wine’.”

Chen Lun was satisfied as he caressed the glass container, then hurriedly proceeded to bottle it.

[Supernatural Wine – Mirna Blood Wine]!

After filling a standard-sized wine bottle, there was still about a third of a bottle left.

‘That’s perfect, the surplus can be shared with the Circus members…’

Chen Lun was pleased, and he took out several smaller empty bottles to fill them up.

Just enough for each person to have three sips.

Next.

He drank a Thirst-quencher to replenish his Physical Strength, then, energized, he brewed two more bottles of high-quality Supernatural Wine.

The leftover high-level supernatural materials from [Mirna Blood Wine], as well as the other acquired supernatural materials, were completely used up. The “trimmings” weren’t wasted, having been turned into ordinary Supernatural Wine.

These two high-quality wines may not match [Mirna Blood Wine], but they were still quite exceptional.

One bottle could moderately increase Toxin Resistance for a short period, which Chen Lun named [Crane Top Green], while the other could amplify dynamic vision and induce a “Calm State” for a brief period, which he named [Sage Time].

‘These two bottles will serve as my ticket into the Murder Club.’

Chen Lun contemplated.

Chen Lun returned to the surface and called for Connie.

He handed her five exquisite little bottles, instructing her to leave the [Mirna Blood Wine (Miniature)] with Noah, Maggie, Golov, and Barton, with the last small bottle being for herself.

“Is this the latest red wine you’ve brewed, Mr. Jack…?”

Connie was delighted and curious.

Updat𝓮d from frёewebnoѵēl.com.

“Of course, and it’s a very rare wine… you should drink it yourself, it can improve your physique.”

Chen Lun said with a smile.

Connie nodded, seemingly comprehending.

“I understand, Mr. Jack, this is a benefit for the team, not for sale!”

She clutched the small bottle carefully.

“I’ll drink it myself, thank you!”

“You’re welcome, Connie.”

Chen Lun replied.

After Connie left, he picked up the remaining miniature bottle and went upstairs himself, planning to deliver it to Floey’s hands.

On the third floor, to the leftmost side, was Floey’s room.

Chen Lun stopped at the door, knocking gently.

Knock knock…

After waiting for a while, there was no response from inside.

“Hmm…?”

Chen Lun felt puzzled, and he listened closely with his powerful hearing; he could sense faint breathing coming from inside.

“Sleeping inside?”

He twisted the doorknob and found, to his surprise, that it was unlocked.

The door clicked and he pushed it open with ease.

“Floey?”

Chen Lun called out and walked in.

This was his first time entering Floey’s room, which was so spartan it was almost unbelievable.

Other than a table, chairs, a wardrobe, and a bed, there were no other decorations to be seen.

The curtains were tightly drawn, casting the entire room in dimness, and it felt very spacious and indescribably tranquil.

Chen Lun’s eyes flickered and changed to vertical pupils, allowing him to see that Floey was lying on her side on the bed, covered with a deep purple velvet blanket, eyes closed in slumber.

She was wearing a black silk nightgown, and her pale golden hair was strewn messily over the pillow.

Chen Lun stood silently for more than ten seconds, quietly observing the girl.

Then he moved the room’s only chair in front of the bed and sat down on it with a plop.

From the Blood Poem Ring, he took out a goblet and an ice ball, pouring in the last little bit of “Milna Blood Wine” and gently swirled the goblet, which clinked melodiously.

“Hmm, sleeping so soundly… She won’t awake for quite a while.”

Chen Lun murmured to himself.

“This wine, which I exhausted my heart’s blood to brew personally for her, it seems I’ll have to drink it myself.”

He sighed softly.

In the next second, Floey sat up, pressing her lips together, looking straight at Chen Lun without saying a word.

Through the black vines around her eyes, Chen Lun could almost feel a look of “dissatisfaction.”

“Did you wake up when I came upstairs?”

Chen Lun didn’t seem surprised and smiled as he passed the well-swirled goblet to her.

Floey took the goblet, still pursing her lips, silent, but her cheeks were already suffused with a hint of red.

“So it was you who unlocked the door…”

Before Chen Lun could finish his sentence, he saw countless vines spreading from Floey’s hand, standing on end like the fur of a startled cat.

“Cough, drink up already,” Chen Lun said nonchalantly.

“Next time you sleep, remember to lock the door, in case a thief slips in and steals this only table and chair ― that would be no good… You would have to squat on the ground to drink water, which would be quite inelegant.”

Floey snickered softly.

“What is this wine?”

She retracted the vines and asked in her ethereal voice.

“Supernatural red wine, I’ve named it ‘Milna Blood Wine’. It can enhance your physical strength and even add a tiny bit of luck; maybe it will make your wishes come true…”

Chen Lun replied.

“Milna…?”

Floey brought the goblet to her lips, puzzled.

“Hmm…”

Chen Lun pondered for a moment, then smiled and said:

“That’s the name of the ‘Cat God’, this wine has some connections to Him, hence the name.”

“I see.”

Floey didn’t delve deeper, nodded, tilted her head back, and took a big gulp of the dark red liquid in the goblet.

Immediately, her brows creased slightly, and her fingers gripping the goblet tightened.

Chen Lun shook his head when he saw this.

‘This is a strong liquor…’

At that moment, Floey gave a small exclamation and then slightly cocked her little head, as if savoring the taste.

“This wine, it’s very good.”

As she spoke, her breath was fragrant, carrying a sweet aroma of various berries and the rich scent of wine.

But soon, her body swayed slightly and started to lean uncontrollably towards the edge of the bed.

Chen Lun reached out to steady her.

“Floey, you drank too much in one go…”

Chen Lun couldn’t help but feel a mix of amusement and concern.

“I feel… my body, it’s been strengthened…”

Floey said softly from his arms.

“You really didn’t lie to me…”

“Of course I didn’t. This wine is truly rare; to replicate it would likely take a very long time,” Chen Lun said.

Floey shook her head in his embrace.

“No… What I mean is, you didn’t lie to me, it really did make my wish come true.”

Her arms gently wrapped around Chen Lun’s back.

“Because I finally heard your heartbeat…”

Floey’s voice faded until her breathing became steady.

Chen Lun, quick with his eyes and hands, caught the goblet slipping from her grasp.

Clink…

He watched Floey silently, his nose barely a palm’s width away from her pale golden hair, inhaling her faint fragrance.

Chen Lun stayed motionless, his eyelids lowered, obscuring his eyes.

Her last sentence complicated his feelings tremendously.

He lifted the goblet and drank the last of the Blood Wine.

‘Floey…’
