I've Become the King of Villains in the Game

So, "Philip's Dreamland Adventure" was hidden in the bookmark!

Chen Lun suddenly came to his senses.

He found himself back in the room, already holding the old book in his hands.

At this moment, the "Wake of Insects" bookmark once again transmitted a message, indicating that the book could not remain in reality for too long, or it would gradually begin to disintegrate.

Only by storing it within the world of the bookmark could it be protected and nourished with an unceasing supply of life force, maintaining the book's existence.

It was a book that should not exist in reality.

Chen Lun suppressed the excitement welling up in his heart and slowly clenched his fingers.

He recalled the title page and took it out, inserting it back into the first page of "Philip's Dreamland Adventure".

[Mystic Book Discovered! "Philip's Dreamland Adventure" (Complete)!]

"Let's see what exactly you've written, Philip..."

Chen Lun's hand stroked the book cover, the rough texture of the fibers providing a hint of historical resonance.

He opened the book.

A flash of white light suddenly burst forth.

Chen Lun only felt an unparalleled pulling force dragging him, sucking him into the book.

The next second, he appeared on a grassland.

Blue sky and white clouds, a clear and boundless view.

Not far ahead, there was a clear lake with a small wooden cabin beside it, and a grapevine planted next to the cabin.

All was so tranquil and peaceful.

Chen Lun looked up and saw that at the end of the grassland was a twisted expanse of chaos.

The profound ashen gray writhed like a vortex, spreading across the edges of the entire world. It was like an oil painting with a lakeside cabin inside and haphazardly smeared ashen gray paint around the edges.

Chen Lun felt an extreme danger emanating from that profound chaos, a strong premonition that one should not look too long, lest they suffer a tragic fate.

He quickly averted his gaze and walked forward.

Approaching the wooden cabin, Chen Lun noticed signs that someone had lived here. Recalling what was written on the title page, he guessed that this place could very well have been Philip's former shelter.

And this cabin was the "Safe House" his "beloved" Maggie had built for him.

Everything seemed ordinary, and Chen Lun did not find anything special.

Until he walked into the cabin and picked up a notebook carelessly thrown on the bed.

[Supernatural Knowledge of the Destiny Faction Discovered (Complete)!]

[Destiny Faction][Sequence Eight - Diviner]

[Advancement conditions met, do you wish to advance in Sequence?]n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Supernatural Knowledge!

Chen Lun took a deep breath.

He had finally found it...

Advancement in the lower Sequences did not require any stringent conditions. As long as one's level was sufficient and they had the corresponding Supernatural Knowledge, advancement would naturally follow.

"Advance!"

He had waited far too long for this moment, and without any hesitation, he immediately chose to advance.

A feeling indescribable, profound and mysterious, Chen Lun felt that his mind now held an abundance of new knowledge, as if he were born with it.

[You have comprehended the skill [Divination]!]

[Divination LV1]

Skill Description: By experiencing and observing yourself and the world, you've finally glimpsed a sliver of the truth of Destiny. You have learned to use special means to perform divination and prediction on all things. Influenced by the Insight and Intelligence Attributes.

Remember, Destiny is fickle; to have unwavering faith in divination is worse than not to divine at all.

"After advancing from [Beast Tamer], I am now a [Diviner]? This skill..."

Chen Lun pondered briefly.

"Divinatory powers are very practical, but are for reference only... and they must be used with the utmost caution."

He felt the words in the Skill Description were correct; better to be skeptical than overly reliant.

The upper limit of the [Divination] skill was Level 3, so Chen Lun directly allocated 2 Skill Points to max it out.

[Divination LVMAX]does not make his divinations more accurate but instead grants him more methods and greater proficiency in the art.

Chen Lun continued flipping through the notebook, finding that in addition to the Supernatural Knowledge needed to advance as a [Diviner], there were also notes on two occupation-specific skills—

[After careful reading and reflection, you have gained an understanding and comprehended the skill [Peeping Eye of Fate]!]

[After careful reading and reflection, you have gained an understanding and comprehended the skill [Spiritual Intuition] (Passive)!]

[Peeping Eye of Fate LV1]

Skill Description: Years as a Diviner have enabled you to observe part of a target's fate trajectory at a glance, capturing the hidden information within. This skill is influenced by the Insight Attribute.

The upper limit of this skill is also Level 3, and Chen Lun once again spent 2 Skill Points to raise it to its maximum.

[Peeping Eye of Fate LVMAX]!

"It's like an enhanced version of 'Scout', but for me, it's a must-have."

Chen Lun thought to himself.

Without the player panel, he had also lost the "Scout" function, but now with [Peeping Eye of Fate], he could see more information than players, never less.

[Spiritual Intuition LV1](Passive)

Skill Description: Years of life as a diviner have honed your spirituality, making it more sensitive. Being in constant contact with destiny, you also have a strong premonition that arises from the subtle changes in all things. This skill is influenced by the Insight Attribute.

Additional Attributes: Insight +2.

Without hesitation, Chen Lun spent 4 Skill Points to upgrade it to the maximum.

[Spiritual Intuition LVMAX]significantly strengthened Chen Lun's intuition and also added 10 Insight Points to him.

He then checked the Experience Points he had accumulated.

"I've unknowingly saved up nearly thirty thousand Experience Points...?!"

Chen Lun was somewhat surprised.

Even after the recent extravagant expenditure of Skill Points, he hadn't depleted them, indicating that his reserves over the recent days were quite rich.

"Phew... Now, I'm relieved."

He exhaled deeply.

"Level up!"

Spending a total of 29,000 Experience Points, Chen Lun leveled up 20 times on the spot, bringing his [Diviner] Profession to Max Level.

After advancing the Main Occupation to [Sequence Eight], the Experience Points needed per level increased from 500 upwards, each level requiring 100 more. Without the prior accumulation, Chen Lun's rapid spending speed would have been unsustainable.

It can be said that this surge in strength was, at its core, due to the build-up of resources over time.

[Main Occupation Level Up, you feel your body strengthened, Life Limit +520, Physical Strength Limit +120, Sanity Value Limit +7, Strength +6, Endurance +6, Agility +12, Intelligence +12]

[You gained 20 Skill Points and 20 Attribute Points]

Chen Lun felt the changes from the surge in his strength.

The transformation was not just in one aspect but a comprehensive overall improvement. Though it wasn't yet a qualitative change, it wasn't far from one.

The clearest feeling came from his previous abilities as a [Beast Tamer].

Chen Lun was surprised to find that not only were his other skills correspondingly strengthened, but even the traits in the memory slots of [Animal Mimicry] had undergone spontaneous integration!

[Stork Peck], [Bear Strike], and [Rhinoceros Impact] ultimately merged into — [Steel Bones]!

[Snake's Kiss] and [Scorpion Tail Needle] merged into — [Serpent and Scorpion Poison]!

With this, three memory slots were now vacant.

He planned to find an opportunity to fill up these empty slots.

"I can try to acquire some flying traits..."

Chen Lun thought to himself.

The next moment, he suddenly felt a slight headache starting.

Upon opening his panel, he found his Sanity Value was at rock bottom—

[Assessment: You are now at the forefront of low-tier Transcendents, deserving the title King of the Low-end.]

Chen Lun had an epiphany.

It seemed that staying in the strange space of "Philip's Dreamland Adventure" would continuously deplete Sanity Value over time.

Not daring to linger, he chose to leave.
