I've Become the King of Villains in the Game-Chapter 435 - 298 Rest assured, I’m just using him

Chapter 435: Chapter 298 Rest assured, I’m just using him

“Did you come specifically to see me?”

Lucy’s face turned red, and she looked up at the black-hatted gentleman in front of her, whispering.

Chen Lun smiled.

“Of course, Lucy… It seems you didn’t disappoint me; you successfully entered Omutuo Academy and became a student here.”

He wouldn’t say that he was just there to observe Francis.

...

Having been praised, Lucy was very happy. She played with the ends of her dark green hair and giggled twice.

“Actually, it’s just good luck…”

She suddenly remembered something and hurriedly presented the old book in her hands to Chen Lun with both hands.

“Ah, that’s right, Mr. Jack… I’ve completed the task you gave me!”

Chen Lun took the old book.

Looking at the title “Carmen’s Notes” on the book cover, his feelings were somewhat mixed.

‘Is this Lucy’s high luck… She got it so easily.’ Chen Lun thought to himself.

He didn’t rush to open the book but glanced at Lucy.

Using Peek Life in secret, he saw her current attribute panel, with her Luck Points at an eye-catching 32. It was astounding, four times his own!

In other words, she could be considered a lucky person, or even a chosen one.

‘If Lucy were in a story, she would probably be the protagonist… Ever since I changed her destined death, she has turned misfortune into blessing, and her Luck Points have surged to such a level, truly surprising.’

Chen Lun’s smile grew even broader.

He felt the girl before him was even more pleasing to the eye.

‘Indeed, worth nurturing.’

In fact, when he had been observing secretly earlier, he found that the male student Francis also had a high Luck Points value, at 24, which might be why in the original world line, he would have obtained “Carmen’s Notes.”

It’s just that he met Lucy, a girl even luckier than him.

So this opportunity was destined to evade him.

“You did very well, Lucy. You’ve been of great help to me,” Chen Lun said, storing the old book in the Blood Poem Ring and praising her again.

“Hehe… So, Mr. Jack, is there any reward?” Lucy mustered up the courage to look directly into Chen Lun’s eyes and asked timidly.

“Are you living in the dormitory at school?” Chen Lun did not answer her question but looked around. By now, many students who had come to the soccer field had turned their attention to the two of them.

A handsome man and a beautiful girl always attract attention easily.

“No, I’m not used to living with those classmates, so I rented a single apartment in the academy area,” Lucy replied obediently.

Chen Lun nodded and said slowly:

“Take me there.”

“Huh?” Lucy was somewhat surprised.

But quickly, a blush crept back onto her face, and she laughed bashfully:

“Is this Mr. Jack’s reward…? That’s nice.”

Chen Lun opened his mouth slightly, at a loss for words momentarily.

He glanced at Lucy, who had already fallen into some sort of fantasy where she stood, and sighed inwardly, thinking that he just didn’t want to stay there and be gawked at any longer. He also wanted a quiet place to look at the old book—that’s all.

But he was too lazy to explain and simply shook his head:

“Let’s go.”

“Okay!” Lucy came back to her senses and eagerly led the way ahead.

A short while later.

Chen Lun followed Lucy to her residence, a rather small single apartment.

The location was on a street two blocks away from Omutuo Academy.

The interior was decorated very simply, the environment was clean, and it had a bedroom, kitchen, bathroom, balcony, and living room, with all the necessary furniture, though it was a bit cramped.

“Mr. Jack, I’m sorry, I didn’t buy any tea… I only have water,” said Lucy as she poured him a glass of water, sounding somewhat embarrassed.

Chen Lun shook his head and took a sip from the glass.

“It’s okay.”

Seeing that Mr. Jack didn’t mind, Lucy heaved a sigh of relief and then happily sat next to him.

“Mr. Jack, the rent for housing in the academy area is very expensive, so I could only afford such a small apartment. It’s small, but it’s completely sufficient for me alone…” Lucy explained.

Chen Lun nodded.

“Did you use up all the money I gave you before?”

“No, there’s still a lot left,” Lucy quickly shook her head, seemingly not wanting Mr. Jack to think she was wasteful.

“Well, if you run out, you can come to me,” Chen Lun said offhandedly.

But Lucy waved her hands, indicating she intended to go out and work.

“I don’t want to become a burden to you, Mr. Jack.”

Chen Lun felt somewhat relieved, set down his water glass, and gently leaned back on the cheap sofa.

“Lucy, working hard while studying is a good habit, but for you, it’s unnecessary. It will only waste your time and energy… I hope you take your studies at Omutuo Academy seriously, don’t worry about money.”

Lucy immediately showed a grateful expression.

“Thank you, Mr. Jack… In all my life, only you have been so kind to me, not only saving me but also willing to help me.”

Her face blushed, and she suddenly chuckled.

“The ‘Francis’ you told me to keep an eye on is a student who enrolled with me, and it seems he has taken a liking to me…”

Lucy lifted her lovely eyes, constantly watching Mr. Jack’s expression, worried that he might find this displeasing.

“But rest assured, I have no interest in him whatsoever, I’m just using him… Francis is like a fool, a few words and he obediently gave me the book.”

Chen Lun found Lucy’s coaxing behavior amusing.

He also silently lamented for Francis.

‘The dog who licks reflects in the end, true to form, ends up with nothing.’

Lucy leaned against Chen Lun, her face red as she whispered:

“Mr. Jack, then… I’m going to take a shower now.”

After she spoke, she prepared to get up.

Chen Lun, however, grabbed her wrist, his expression somewhat pained as he spoke:

“Sit down and behave.”

He pointed at the sofa.

Lucy looked a bit puzzled.

“Mr. Jack, just… just here? If you don’t mind, I don’t either.”

She bit her lip, both shy and anticipative as she began to undo the buttons at the front of her dress.

Chen Lun gave her a flick on the forehead.

“Ah!”

Lucy let out a startled cry, covering her forehead and looking aggrievedly at Mr. Jack.

“Don’t fill your head with those thoughts all day long.”

Chen Lun sighed lightly.

He privately speculated that Lucy might be influenced by her own bloodline, hence her obsession with matters of love between men and women.

He then took out a Silver Serpent Ring and on the spot, embedded the Wonderland Seed into it, granting it the ability to enter the lakeside cottage.

“This is your reward.”

Lucy took the Silver Serpent Ring, placing it in her palm and curiously examining it for a few moments.

“It’s beautiful.”

She exclaimed with admiration.

The disappointment she had felt from being rejected also dissipated quite a bit.

Lucy put the Silver Serpent Ring on her right ring finger, admiring it repeatedly, her face showing a joyful smile.

Chen Lun did not pay her any further attention, but continued to take out paper and a pen, as well as a silver-white glass bead, which was a low Sequence mystical substance from the Constellation Faction.

He began to transcribe supernatural knowledge on the spot, and as the text was written on the paper, misty vapors continuously wafted from the surface of the mysterious substance, seeping into each word. As the writing progressed, the silver-white glass bead gradually shrunk and eventually disappeared.

A piece of Constellation Faction Sequence Nine – Hunter supernatural knowledge was born under Chen Lun’s pen.

Lucy observed the entire process from the side, her face brimming with curiosity.

“Mr. Jack, what is this?”

She asked.

“The real stepping stone that will allow you to enter the Mystic Realm, it’s a precious piece of knowledge that can make you a Transcendent…”

Chen Lun handed over the paper and explained it to her.

He also informed Lucy about the true purpose of the Silver Serpent Ring, which, aside from being a token of the Circus, also served as the key to the team’s gathering place, “The Lakeside Cottage”.

The reason why Chen Lun gave Lucy this ring was because he did not plan to bring her back to the team, but to prevent losing contact, he left this token with her.

“Wow… a real Transcendent, can I become one too?”

Lucy, holding the supernatural knowledge, was quite astonished.

Although she had a Mythical bloodline and was half a supernatural creature, she knew very little about the Mystic Realm, which required Chen Lun to give her a rough explanation.

Luckily, Lucy was bright, and with only one explanation, she had a basic understanding.

“Lucy, your talent is extremely good, and because of your bloodline, you are very suited to walk the path of Constellation… so don’t waste your talent.”

Chen Lun said.

Lucy glanced at him carefully, then nodded obediently.

“Yes, I won’t disappoint you, Mr. Jack.”

Afterward.

Lucy began to read the supernatural knowledge as Chen Lun arranged, while Chen Lun himself finally had time to look at “Carmen’s Notes”.

Upon browsing, Chen Lun discovered that this Mystic Book did not contain any supernatural knowledge; it was merely the personal insights of a Mage from the Magic Faction.

The author, Carmen, recorded in these notes some observations about magic, as well as disdain for the Madman School and the Everything School.

According to Carmen, deep in the path of magic, Transcendents were systematically divided into three Schools: Madman, Everything, and Idol. Carmen himself belonged to the Idol School of Mages and regarded the other two Schools as heresies.

In the notes, he frequently expressed that the person he respected most was his teacher, Fleurette, lavishing praise and using all the fine words at his disposal to laud his mentor.

Beyond his teacher, the two Carmen respected the most were the God of Magic, Jing Yao, and His Sub-God, the God of Murals, Clarence.

‘The Witch Her Majesty has always asked me to pay attention to Clarence, who turns out to be a magic Angel… and also a Sub-God of Mr. Jing Yao?’

Chen Lun was somewhat surprised.

Having read through the notes, setting aside those meaningless emotional rants, he could make three deductions:

One, the author Carmen was most likely a high-ranking member of the magic pathway, otherwise His many pronouncements would seem far too arrogant. Furthermore, many of the explanations about magic and mysteries were difficult for Chen Lun to understand, even with his current level of understanding in Mystery Studies.

Two, the notes concealed a skill.

Three, “Carmen’s Notes” consisted of three volumes; this was only the first.
