I became the king of villains in the game

She may have been curious and envious of Chaofan, and even had low self-esteem, but in the end she still chose to be an ordinary person.Chen Lun knew that if he forcefully asked Connie to become a superhuman, she would not refuse.

But he respects Connie's choice.

"Don't be nervous, Connie, I don't have any other intentions. I just consider that there is still a long way to go in the future, and you can better protect yourself with extraordinary power, so I am asking for your wishes."

Chen Lun patted Connie's shoulder lightly, and smiled softly.

"Since you don't want to, forget it."

"Thank you, Mr. Jack."

After Connie saw Mr. Jack's smile, her depressed mood improved and she smiled.

Then she said cautiously:

"Of course, if I encounter danger and cause trouble to everyone because of me, I will choose to leave and not drag everyone down."

"How could it be, Connie!"

At this moment, Maggie leaned over and put her arm on her shoulder.

"With us protecting you, what are you afraid of!"

Noah, Golov, and Antonio all echoed, while Fu Luoyin smiled silently.Connie looked touched and thanked them in a low voice.

Chen Lun looked at this scene with a little emotion, and also smiled.

After this incident.

Chen Lun felt a little emotional. Every member of the team has his own pursuit, not his own puppet. All he can do is to give advice and help.

I believe that they can also thrive and help themselves in the future.

So he sorted out the collection of books in the blood poem ring, and took out some valuable mysterious books, even mythological books.

He has already read all these books, and keeping them in his hands will only waste their value. It is better to read them for team members, increase their mysterious accumulation, and maybe even inspire them.

Chen Lun put the collection of books in the study, and called Fu Luoyin to take care of them.

Then, the news was passed on to everyone on the team.

This incident made everyone feel very happy.

Chen Lun has a large collection of mysterious books, covering almost all avenues. Team members can find books related to their own factions to read, which greatly improves their knowledge and understanding of extraordinary power and mysterious fields.

Especially the three volumes of "Carmen's Codex" obtained after coming to Peacock City, as well as "Overview of Biological Structure and Mythical Creatures", a set of notes of magic faction, and a book of mythology of natural faction.After seeing them, Maggie seemed to have opened the door to a new world, exclaiming again and again, expressing that she had more ideas.

Chen Lun is quite satisfied with the result.

He seems to have foreseen that the team will get stronger in the near future.

Time has quietly come to the end of the year.

On December [-]st.

This is No.30 five days since the circus arrived in Peacock City.

Light snow began to fall in the sky, and the temperature also became colder. The residents of the city put on thick coats or cotton hats one after another.As a port city, Peacock City has been greatly affected. The port in the Eastern District has ceased operations, and countless unemployed workers are staying at home, cursing the damn winter.

Because there are many tributaries of the Weilingzhi River flowing into the coast, which dilute the salinity in the seawater. In addition, there is no warm current passing by here, which causes the water surface of the eastern port to freeze, which seriously hinders the entry and exit of ships.

Many industries in the city have been hit, and even the lives of many residents have been affected.

This is the severe cold that Peacock City experiences every year, whether it is weather, economy or life, it is severe cold.The local residents are supposed to be accustomed to this, but in addition, recently, the public security station has come forward to seal up the Montero slaughterhouse, causing the price of meat and dairy products to skyrocket, and many residents have found it difficult to live. Take to the streets.

There are even many homeless tramps, huddled in the streets and alleys, shivering.

At this time, led by the Harrington family and the Simon family, they gathered many nobles and business elites to hold a charity auction, and decided to donate all the proceeds from the auction to the relief of the residents of Peacock City.

Chen Lun also received an invitation to the auction.

"Mr. Jack, please come to this auction."

Huo Yiner was sitting on the sofa in the living room of the winery villa, and said solemnly.

Beside him, there was Miss Tracy.

The two arrived at the door almost at the same time.

At this time, they are no longer the children of the merchant family and noble ladies, but have become the leaders of their respective families, and there have been obvious changes in their dress, manner and conversation.

Specifically, it is more mature.

"Actually, this charity auction is led by the Peacock City Council, and our two families are invited to hold it as the organizers... I heard that there is a shelter behind it."

Huo Yiner whispered, took off his hat and coat, handed them to the bodyguard on the side, and waved him back.

A fireplace is lit in the main building of the villa, and the temperature is relatively warm.

This kind of behavior is actually a bit extravagant, even many small noble families are unwilling to be so extravagant and wasteful, because the coal in Peacock City is extremely expensive, especially in winter.

But Chen Lun didn't care about this small amount of money. Although most of the team were extraordinary people who were not afraid of the severe cold, Alex and Connie were just ordinary people. In order to take care of them, the fireplace was burning almost all day in the villa.

"And the council promised us that as long as the charity auction is successfully completed, tax incentives will be given to our industry next year, and even the newly developed land in the southwest region will be sold to us cheaply..."

Huo Yiner happily shared the news.

Halfway through, he suddenly realized something, his expression was a little embarrassed, and he added:

"Of course, even without these things, I would be happy to hold a charity auction. After all, this year is more difficult than before... Many low-level residents can't even support their basic lives and live on the streets. I want to contribute."

"But without the benefits given by these councils, most of your people would not support you, Mr. Hoyiner."

said Miss Tracy.

She blinked and said half-jokingly:

"The severe cold does not only affect ordinary people. Every industry has been affected to some extent. Whether it is your Simon family's industry or our Harrington family's industry, it is actually not easy..."

After hearing this, Huo Yiner just nodded with a wry smile.

Chen Lun listened silently, feeling slightly moved.

This world is like this, not everyone is black and white, even nobles and wealthy businessmen are kind and upright, but the world does not allow them to do whatever they want.

The mysterious realm is hidden on the other side. Extraordinary people have supernatural power and status, but most of them are also selfish, and it is rare for them to be willing to help mortals.

The Cuisul Empire is getting weaker and weaker. From Emerald Town, Amber City and even Peacock City today, as well as many corners that Chen Lun has passed and seen, he can see the big from the small, and see the most powerful country on this continent. The gorgeous outer skin gradually fell off, exposing festering flesh and blood.

It is extremely difficult for ordinary people to survive in such a world. Although the people at the top of the pyramid may be able to live well due to their deep-rooted class, they still have to worry about various things.Especially now that the power of the official supernatural forces is too weak, and chaos abounds, it seems that no one can stay out of it.

Even superhuman beings still face the danger of the mysterious realm.

Whether it is the red plague or the dark world, or even the unknown deep indescribable things.

'Is it only by becoming a high-ranking person, an angel, or even a god... can one achieve true transcendence? '

Chen Lun couldn't help but have such an idea.

He was silent for a while.

Immediately picked up the invitation letter for the charity auction, and said to Huo Yiner and Tracy:

"Thank you both for personally inviting me. I will arrive at the venue on time the night after tomorrow."

"That's great! Mr. Jack!"

Huo Yiner looked very happy.

"We will meet you personally at the door."

Tracy smiled.

Chapter 325 Charity Dinner

Two days later in the evening.

Chen Lun was looking at his clothes in front of the full-length mirror in the corner of the room.

In the mirror, the extremely handsome young man was wearing a high-end black suede dress, a brand new top hat, a clean white lining, a red bow tie, one black and one brown leather gloves, and shiny leather shoes...Chen Lun stood upright with a silver walking stick He took off his hat and nodded with satisfaction.

"Well, I feel that I am a little too handsome now... It's a pity you can't see it, Fluoyin, otherwise you will be fascinated."

he said jokingly.

Fu Luoyin was standing quietly behind him, covering her small mouth with a small smile.

"Although I can't see it, I agree with your point of view."

She blushed and whispered.

Chen Lun turned around and admired Fu Luoyin's appearance up and down.

Because Fu Luoyin was informed in advance that she would take her to the charity dinner tonight, so Fu Luoyin specially prepared a dress for the past two days.

She was wearing a black one-piece dress, but she didn't follow the trend of putting bustles inside. According to her, she just didn't like the bloated feeling.

The skirt is covered with multiple layers of petal-shaped folds, and there are fine and shiny purple gemstones at the waist and vest, and the short black felt cloak that Chen Lun once gave her was worn on the outside, and black suede is worn on a pair of small hands. Leather gloves, pale golden long hair coiled up for the first time, a small black top hat worn at an angle, with a purple chrysanthemum pinned to it, the overall appearance is extremely beautiful.

And it fits well with Chen Lun's dress.

"It's almost time, let's go."

Chen Lun secretly admired Fu Luoyin's appearance, and said softly.

Fu Luoyin seemed to feel his admiring gaze, and she was very happy in her heart. With a hum, she took the initiative to take a step forward and took Chen Lun's arm.

The two arrived at an auction venue in the city center in a carriage driven by Golov.

This place was originally the property of the Harrington family. After some decoration, it was used as the venue for today's charity dinner.Numerous carriages were parked by the guardrail outside the bronze gate, and a dozen clean and tidy male servants in uniform red vests were busily arranging and receiving them.

Many noble and wealthy businessmen from Peacock City came tonight. It can be said that the Harrington family and the Simon family have strong appeal, and it can also be said that the preferential policies given by the parliament are quite attractive.

All in all, these great figures showed up with great dignity.

Chen Lun took Fu Luoyin and walked in unhurriedly. As soon as he entered the gate, he saw Mr. Huo Yiner and Miss Tracy personally greeted him at the side of the passage.All the guests who arrived earlier were amazed by the enthusiasm of the two, and were even a little flattered. After all, these are the two most powerful families in Peacock City.

But all the guests didn't know that the person Hoyne and Tracy were really waiting for was the young gentleman in front of them.

"Welcome aboard, Mr. Jack."

"And this beautiful Miss Floyin."

The two greeted Chen Lun and Fu Luoyin warmly. After shaking hands, Huo Yin'er walked in the front and led Chen Lun and Fu Luoyin in.

He also reminded in a low voice:

"Tonight's charity dinner is highly valued by the higher-ups. Not only did seven or eight congressmen come, but even the asylum, the Madman School, and the Hailing Regiment sent people to come."

Chen Lun's eyes froze.

"The shelter and the Orthodox Church have also come... It seems that the living conditions of the low-level civilians are already so bad that even the official superpowers can't sit still. '

He and Fu Luoyin were led to an independent luxury box on the second floor, from which they could see the auction stage below through the single-sided French windows, and the sound could also be transmitted through the sound transmission device, through the speaker on the ceiling of the box. .

At this moment, many distinguished guests have already arrived and seated, and the young and beautiful waiters walked around the round tables with trays, putting down the food and red wine for the dinner.They can more or less receive "tips" from these big shots, which are said to be tips, but they are definitely several times or even ten times more than their usual weekly salary, which makes the waitresses devote more to the work at hand. Enthusiasm, even turning a blind eye to the slightly offensive gestures of some distinguished guests.

After Huo Yin'er and Tracy delivered Chen Lun and Fu Luoyin to the box, they exchanged a few words and then left.

In the box at the moment, only Chen Lun and Fu Luoyin were left.

Chen Lun let Fu Luoyin sit on the sofa to rest, and he poured a glass of red wine for her in a very gentlemanly manner.

"Please, beautiful lady."

He shook the goblet lightly, then handed it to Fluoyin.
