Chapter 719 Mr. White Tower!
Chapter 719 Mr. White Tower!
Ordinary extraordinary individuals would never refuse such an opportunity.
If Chu Yang joins this kind of gathering, then he will have many ways to find out the information he needs.
If Chu Yang were to take the initiative to beg for knowledge, and then Chu Yang were to exchange it for the information he wanted, that would be the best outcome.
"But I'm equally excited about an equal exchange. If the information you provide is valuable to me, I'll give you the same level of compensation."
Klein was very tolerant.
This forced Chu Yang to feign extreme gratitude.
"Mr. Fool, may I join this trade fair?"
"Sure, we'll trade every Monday. I'll let you know the time separately, but if nothing changes, it should be after 2 p.m.."
"If there are any objections in your area, it's best to eliminate any obstacles before joining here."
Then Klein pointed again to a set of cards that had appeared on the bronze table.
"The other members all use one of the cards from the tarot deck as their code name, you can choose one too."
"The Justice card and the Hanged Man card have already been chosen."
Upon hearing this, Chu Yang excitedly glanced over.
When there aren't many members yet, he can choose slowly. But if he joins too late, he can only blindly rely on his luck to draw.
If he were to choose, he would naturally want to select the most imposing card, such as the Pope's card, to represent his supreme status.
Alternatively, you could choose some cards that represent wisdom to highlight his position.
However, he now has a better option.
He chose one of the cards, the Tower.
This tower represents all kinds of changes in this world, which further highlights its essence.
Moreover, the source of the reader sequence he followed was the Tower of Knowledge, or what could be called the White Tower.
In the process of exploring the White Pagoda, one may encounter immense danger.
Regardless of Chu Yang's future trajectory, he has now achieved his goal of becoming Mr. White Tower of the Tarot Club.
"It just so happens that my code name also contains the word 'tower,' and I hope we can become the most unique one in the Tarot Club."
Not long after, Chu Yang, who had been sitting at the table, slowly opened his eyes, a faint smile appearing on his lips.
He immediately shut down his ability to maintain absolute rationality and then began to use scene replay to imagine everything he had just experienced.
He even went over every single detail from what had just happened.
"The power of absolute rationality does indeed allow me to consider every issue in a state of absolute calm."
"But I had a very good impression of Mr. Klein and wanted to subtly remind him of some details."
"As a result, in that situation, I always considered things from the perspective of self-interest, which might not be a good thing."
"Over time, it might even affect my personality, since not everything can be about just gains and losses."
Chu Yang shook his head slightly, a helpless smile appearing on his face.
After he composed himself, he heard a knock on the door.
The person who arrived was Miss Triss.
"Chu Yang, I've made up my mind. I want to buy the special ability you possess."
Miss Triss had barely peeked out from behind the door when she began to speak.
"You raised enough money so quickly?"
Chu Yang asked, somewhat surprised.
Although he had offered a very favorable price, it was a price that Miss Triss, who had been adventuring abroad for a long time, could not afford.
"Did Mr. Lescent give it to you?"
Chu Yang quickly guessed another possibility.
Sure enough, Miss Triss nodded heavily and said, "You're always so smart. You guessed right, but this isn't for me. He just lent it to me."
"We'll contact each other again once we reach our destination, and I'll pay him back in full once I've raised enough money."
Hearing this, Chu Yang raised an eyebrow slightly and couldn't help but speak:
"Borrowing money isn't so easy these days; you probably paid a price for it, didn't you?"
After their brief encounter, Chu Yang didn't think Mr. Lecent was an overly kind person, especially since that guy also appeared in later parts of the story.
That's no simple character.
"He wanted me to join his expedition team, which wasn't a difficult decision for me, since I needed a brand new expedition team anyway."
"What's more, he said he would teach me some knowledge about the extraordinary world later on, and even new potion recipes."
"You know, these are things I simply can't refuse."
Miss Triss's tone was very firm.
Miss Triss naturally knew what her good friend was worried about.
She also knew that her understanding of Mr. Lecent was far from detailed.
But she had already obtained many valuable things in advance, and even for these things, she had to take some risks.
Moreover, she was confident that she could take Mr. Lecente with her before she died.
Of course, this was just Miss Tris's own wishful thinking.
After all, her actual strength was far inferior to that of Mr. Lecente.
After all, Lecent is known as the god of hunters.
Chu Yang took a deep breath and began to review the relevant matters concerning Mr. Lecent in the original plot.
The storyline suggests that Mr. Lecent's formation of this so-called adventure team is to complete his own advancement ceremony.
Although his experience was somewhat bizarre, it wasn't life-threatening.
But after this experience, Miss Triss should understand just how evil this world is.
"Alright, your wish will be granted."
Chu Yang quickly took out the extraordinary characteristics that he had prepared long ago.
He placed the extraordinary properties in a specially made box.
The box has a special sealing method from Mr. Manhattan.
Therefore, this characteristic has been preserved very well.
Upon opening it, one is greeted by an extraordinary presence, displaying a pure azure blue hue.
"This color and shape are definitely characteristic of hunters!"
Miss Triss, who was standing nearby, even blurted out.
It was clear that in the short time that had just passed, Mr. Lecent had taught her a great deal about the characteristics of a hunter.
"Don't overthink it. That gentleman didn't give me much; he just showed me something that was roughly the same."
Miss Triss seemed to have thought of Chu Yang's idea. After explaining a few words, she handed over all the rewards with a smile.
Chu Yang judged the authenticity of the banknotes with just a casual glance, and put them away without hesitation.
Since this is a transaction, he naturally won't have any wishful thinking just because the transaction partner is different.
"Speaking of which, since Mr. Lecente already has what you want, why did you come to me in the first place?"
Chu Yang couldn't help but ask.
He did this simply to further verify the authenticity of the relevant information in his memory.
"It's a long story. Mr. Lecent wants to create a team of extraordinary individuals, almost all of whom will follow the hunter path."
"So for him, the more extraordinary traits related to the Hunter Path, the better."
Miss Triss had no defenses against Chu Yang and told him the truth without hesitation.
She even went into detail about the number of people in the team's initial target.
"Does it really require nearly twenty or even thirty people?"
Chu Yang couldn't help but start stroking his chin.
According to the relevant information, this Mr. Lecent should have already obtained the corresponding potion recipe in the sequence, and may even be able to successfully advance as long as he completes the ritual.
"But that's impossible. The original story clearly states that this guy didn't receive the relevant information at all. Where could this discrepancy in information come from?"
"The only difference between that guy and the original story is that he sent me a message."
"So, it's highly likely that guy received new information from believers in knowledge and wisdom?"
Chu Yang's mind began to race.
"But this situation is unlikely to occur."
"Even if I am highly trusted by those believers, it is impossible for me to give them such a high-value reward if they are just passing on a message to me."
"Could it be that a new deity has cast its gaze upon us and played a joke on that guy Lecent?"
As Chu Yang's thoughts continued to wander, everything before him seemed increasingly elusive and confusing.
In the end, all he could do was warn Miss Triss standing to the side:
"You can learn everything about hunters from that guy, even the corresponding knowledge about extraordinary traits."
"But if possible, it's best not to participate in their so-called adventure teams exploring certain ruins."
Because from the moment they begin exploring the real ruins, Lecente, and his squad, will become extremely unlucky.
That guy was tough enough to survive to the end, but most of his companions died in the ruins.
"Mr. Lecent said he had been preparing for this operation for a long time and was very well prepared."
"He can guarantee that we will not encounter any problems for at least six months, whether it is the route of the operation or the logistical resources."
"Moreover, he gathered many famous explorers, all of whom were Beyonders in the Hunter series."
Miss Triss became more and more agitated as she spoke, but in the end she could only sigh helplessly.
"That Mr. Lecent said something similar to what you said."
"If I can't raise my strength to the intermediate level before they officially take action, I won't be able to join their team at all; otherwise, it would be suicide."
Upon hearing this, Chu Yang actually breathed a slight sigh of relief.
"It seems that Mr. Lecent does have some self-awareness. I thought he intended to drag you down with him from the beginning."
It's no exaggeration to say that even extraordinary individuals with intermediate-level strength would be courting death if they went into those ruins.
Lecente's survival was nothing short of a miracle.
After seeing Miss Triss off, Chu Yang began to consider how to use up his new potions as quickly as possible.
This world is full of too many crises. Only by digesting the potion as soon as possible can he embark on a new journey.
The fact that the followers of the god of knowledge and wisdom had all set their sights on him made him feel extremely insecure.
If he hadn't already made very smooth contact with Mr. Klein and joined the Tarot Club, he would just want to find a place to hide right now.
"The Guardians of Knowledge, as the name suggests, are extraordinary individuals in this sequence who are required to guard certain secrets."
"But these secrets must be precious enough, and it shouldn't be as simple as just guarding them."
"How should I play this new role?"
Chu Yang was completely baffled.
His thoughts began to wander, and by dinner time he still had no new ideas, so he started to get dressed and headed to the restaurant.
"I hope the new people I meet next will give me new inspiration."
Meanwhile, on the other side, Klein had successfully joined the Night Watch squad and gained the trust of the captain and his teammates.
When he arrived, he found that all the other team members and the captain were already in place.
"Alright, everyone, I'm going to give you a new task now."
"Starting today, after get off work, you will work in pairs and must first visit the nearest cemetery every night before going home."
"The duration of this mission is yet to be determined. I will personally notify you when the mission is terminated."
The captain solemnly assigned the next new task.
Everyone present was completely baffled by the situation and couldn't help but turn their attention to the captain.
"You don't need to know too much right now. Just be careful when carrying out the mission, and report any new anomalies immediately."
After giving instructions to everyone, the captain then cut off Xinjiang and shooed all the team members out of the office.
After a group of people entered the corridor, their expressions were all solemn.
They had been through life and death together, so they trusted each other implicitly.
Even so, it's highly unusual that the captain didn't reveal any relevant information to them.
"Klein, weren't you with the captain this morning? How was he then?"
Some team members looked at Klein, who was standing to the side.
"That guy was perfectly fine this morning, there was nothing unusual about him at all."
"It seems that something new happened at the cemetery closest to here during the day today."
Klein adjusted his glasses and offered a new assessment.
The people present seemed to be deep in thought, but eventually they slowly dispersed.
Just as new anomalies occurred around Klein, the Merry, carrying Chu Yang and the others, arrived at its destination port.
Many passengers on board chose to disembark immediately.
After all, this is the end of the journey for many people.
These people naturally included Chu Yang and Miss Xiu. (End of Chapter)
