I've Become the King of Villains in the Game

Returning favors, reciprocating gifts.

Since the Silver Dragon Trade Association's banner had been raised, it was natural to share more benefits.

In his letter, Chen Lun specifically mentioned his hope to acquire a piece of Supernatural Knowledge from the Deep Sea Faction through the Silver Dragon Trade Association's channels. This was the last piece of Sequence Nine knowledge he needed, and he believed that the strength of the Silver Dragon Trade Association would not disappoint him.

"I wonder if completing the ten trails of Sequence Nine will trigger something...?"

Chen Lun thought to himself.

Time quickly passed, and another two weeks went by.

That afternoon.

Chen Lun was lying in bed reading a book, with a glass of chilled milk on the bedside table.

At that moment, a faint blue crack slowly appeared on the carpet beside him.

Immediately after, a yellow-brown lizard head poked out, taking a cautious glance at the young man on the bed.

"Changed to 'Lizzy Jack's' appearance this time? You sure change your skin frequently..."

Chen Lun chuckled lightly.

He reached out his hand, taking a large pouch of money, a letter, and a carefully wrapped book from the Messenger Lizardman.

After pocketing the 300 plus Gold Coins from the pouch into his panel, Chen Lun opened the letter to read it.

After a while.

"It seems that potions and Supernatural Wine sell the best, while weapon sales are just so-so..."

Chen Lun looked at the detailed report in the reply and curled his lips.

"Only when public testing arrives will weapons sell well..."

The bestsellers were the potions formulated by Maggie and the Supernatural Wine he brewed himself. Often, a single potion could sell for several Gold Pounds, and sometimes even over a dozen, while the price of Supernatural Wine was not much different.

A few bottles with unique effects, such as those capable of enhancing male Charm, crafting time, and reducing pain, had been specially arranged by the Silver Dragon Trade Association to be featured in several auctions.

Countless nobles and wealthy merchants bid for them frequently.

Eventually, nearly 300 Gold Pounds were collected in total, and the actual cost was less than one-fifth of that.

The main reason was that the supernatural materials all originated from the Immortal Realm, making it a costless business venture.

"Well, that's not entirely true... There is a cost; it's just distributed among the players,"

Chen Lun thought to himself.

He looked at the mere 400+ Gold Pounds in his panel and sighed inwardly.

The previous sum of over a thousand Gold Pounds had slowly dried up under enormous expenditures in various directions.

The little over 400 Gold Pounds wouldn't last long either, having soon to be invested into team construction, leaving him a pauper once again.

"Bite the bullet, get through this period, and brilliant days will follow...!"

Chen Lun began to psych himself up.

Maggie's potions, apart from "Serenity Potion" and "Blood Bottle", were being developed into a new potion that could restore Physical Strength, according to Chen Lun's specifications, in preparation for the public tests.

In addition, there was her own obsession with "Beef Power... Powerful Blood-Generating Potion," the usefulness of which would only be known after the finished product had been tested.

Chen Lun maintained a pessimistic view of this.

As for his own brewing enterprise, he had begun to produce red wine in earnest.

However, because of limited supernatural materials, the output was not yet substantial. Chen Lun had already placed a large order with the Silver Dragon Trade Association to acquire a batch of supernatural materials specifically for the team's winemaking, potion development, and smithing.

Even though this would increase the costs, as long as it wasn't a loss, it was worth doing.

Floy Maggie and the others weren't players; they didn't possess something like a panel, so they greatly needed such opportunities to continuously engage in Mystical Accumulation, preparing for future progression.

In simple terms, team members could earn Experience Points whenever they successfully used their Supernatural Power and gained new insights. Chen Lun himself also experienced this, but the Experience Points were so minimal he hardly took notice.

Moreover, the production of Supernatural Wine and crafting of supernatural items by Floy involved randomness. Thus, only by increasing the frequency could they hope to create more top-quality products.

"Having Connie specially pick the exquisite grapes from the renowned vineyards in the Inner City District, followed by destemming, washing, crushing, and maceration fermentation..."

Chen Lun recalled the winemaking process and suddenly had an idea.

"If the ordinary grapes used as raw materials were swapped for fruits borne by supernatural plants, and not necessarily just grapes... then the wine produced would surely be far more effective!"

There was a grapevine by the lakeside cottage door in the Immortal Realm, but disappointingly, it bore no fruit, which was a source of remorse for Chen Lun.

He pulled out ten silver coins and handed them to the Lizardman, who showed only half its body.

It extended a claw to take them, made a gesture of courtesy, and then prepared to retreat into the Spirit World.

"Wait..."

Chen Lun called out to it.

The Lizardman looked puzzled.

"Two questions for you."

Chen Lun said.

"You have a name, right? What is it?"

The Lizardman opened its mouth and made strange noises.

Chen Lun nodded.

"Qiong? Alright... So, Qiong, in the Spirit World, have you heard of 'Mr. Bottle'?"

The Lizardman paused, then shook its head.

Chen Lun showed a look of disappointment.

After the Messenger named Qiong departed, he remained thoughtful.

This "Mr. Bottle" Chen Lun inquired about was also a creature from the Spirit World, enjoying great notoriety in his previous life and stumbled upon by many players unintentionally as an NPC.

It had a special ability, and it was this ability that made Chen Lun think of it, believing that it could be used to help Noah remove the Curse from his body—
