Chapter 318: Chapter 227 Moon Goddess and King of Slaughter
[Task completed: Funeral Journey!]
[Reward for completion: 20,000 Experience Points, 50 Gold Pounds, increased Affection from Bales, and the “Moon Faction Sequence Seven – Soul Consoler” Supernatural Knowledge.]
[Bales’s Affection towards you has increased! It is now Respect!]
Chen Lun glanced over the notification box, revealing a faint smile.
‘Just as I expected, after completing the task, the Experience Points I’ve accumulated are now over 40,000, enough for me to level up to Max Level!’
He called up the panel and pressed the level-up button.
Invisible to others, a golden light flickered twice, and he finally reached Level 80!
Besides the attribute bonus from leveling up, Chen Lun also balanced the Attribute Points he gained to his deficiencies, ending up with both Strength and Agility at 75 Points, while Endurance and Intelligence were at 65 Points.
‘Now I’m also considered a seasoned Sequence Seven, with nowhere left to level up. Aside from increasing my strength through a few other rare means, my only option is to advance further.’
Chen Lun closed the panel, feeling the changes within himself, and nodded slightly.
‘But the Supernatural Knowledge of “Sequence Six – Aerial Acrobat,” I only have one-quarter that was taken from Molimer, and there’s no clue for the time being… Maybe I could continue from the Immortal Realm? I also wonder if Philip left behind any follow-up supernatural knowledge.’
He pondered.
It was somewhat comforting to him that his overall strength was now mid-tier among Transcendents of the Mid Sequence.
Though only a seasoned Sequence Seven, he could defeat the majority of Sequence Six when in “Extreme State,” as long as he didn’t encounter strong opponents like Jerome and Bales, he was confident in handling any situation.
Theoretically, Chen Lun’s base attributes, Strength and Agility, had already surpassed the limits of Sequence Seven, which is the 70 Point threshold, and 70 to 100 fell into the range of Sequence Six.
After completing the supernatural transformation, increasing attribute points became much more difficult, completely different from the situation below the 50 Point threshold of the Low Sequence.
Of course, the effect of an increase was much stronger afterward.
Therefore, Chen Lun’s actual combat ability was disproportionate to his Sequence.
He far exceeded the level of Sequence Seven.
‘There are many things to do next, but mainly three.
The first is to find a way to help Mr. Bales escape his pursuers, the second is to search for subsequent Supernatural Knowledge, and the third is to prepare for the impending chaos… whether it’s developing the Circus, using the resources of players to strengthen myself, or actively looking for ways to become stronger.’

Amber City’s train station.
Chen Lun had finally returned.
After stepping off the carriage, he quickened his pace, eager to return to the manor.
Having not eaten a meal made by Floey’s own hands for days, he felt a certain longing.

Smacking his lips, he passed through the waiting hall and suddenly noticed a commotion ahead, where a large crowd had gathered.
Chen Lun paused briefly, squeezed through the crowd for a glance, and was momentarily stunned.
It turned out there was an old lady lying on a bench, her eyes tightly closed as if deep in sleep, but she had, in fact, stopped breathing.
Looking at her attire and face, Chen Lun recognized her at a glance as the woman he had met in the grocery store a few days ago.
There was no one sitting near the old lady, as passengers kept their distance, not daring to get close. People pointed and talked, voicing unpleasant words.
Clearly, the sight of a dead person at the train station was considered bad luck to them.
Chen Lun pushed his way through the crowd and approached the elderly woman amidst the surprised and disgusted gazes of others. He examined her briefly.
The old woman’s expression was peaceful, and Chen Lun could not see any signs of unnatural harm on her body. It was likely that, as she herself had said, she was old and had died a natural death.
‘She must have seen her relatives and thus closed her eyes contentedly… It’s just unfortunate that she had purchased a return train ticket, only to arrive at the final station of her life.’
Chen Lun sighed silently to himself.
He was not willing to see an elderly woman’s body simply left at the train station, subject to pointing fingers and murmurs.
‘I remember the old lady believed in the Moon Goddess, and I followed the Moon Path in my previous life, so it must be fate… I will see her off on her last journey.’
Chen Lun’s gaze was calm as he looked at the old woman’s body, and then he gently held her hand, reciting from the Moon Church’s Bible, “Chronicle of Clear Moon.”
Those around who were onlooking exchanged glances, but among them, a few believers of the Moon Church silently made a prayer gesture.
A moment later.
Chen Lun stopped reciting.
That was when the train station security and officials arrived en masse, dispersing the crowd and then approaching Chen Lun.
“Sir, what is your relationship with this elderly woman?”
The official asked with a slight frown.
“What would you do if I were unrelated?”
Chen Lun casually turned his head and asked.
“Then we’d have to hand it over to the Security Office, so her family could come and claim her… If she’s a lone outsider with no relatives, she’d probably be thrown into the public graveyard for a simple burial.”
The official shrugged his shoulders.
Chen Lun nodded slightly, grunted in acknowledgment, and took out a few Gold Pounds, placing them in the official’s hand.
“This old lady is a believer of Moonlight, first send her to the Moon Church… The priests there will arrange everything properly.”
As he spoke, his shell necklace briefly flashed at his chest.
The official’s eyes glazed over for a moment before regaining clarity. He accepted the Gold Pounds and solemnly agreed to the request.
He then directed the security to move the old woman’s body and personally went to inform the Church.
Chen Lun watched the scene for a while, then adjusted the brim of his hat and walked away without looking back.
