When Klein left the casino, he still wore a gentle and polite smile on his face, but it looked a little stiff, almost like a semi-permanent fixed makeup, quite unnatural, and his steps seemed a little heavy.
Lin Ruo beside him seemed to be in a very good mood, squinting his eyes, smiling brightly and cheerfully, and said, "Klein, my method is good, right? It made you digest one-fifth of your Clown potion at once."
Klein: … …
Klein didn't want to talk, he even wanted to hit someone.
Since he came out of the casino, Klein had naturally gambled in the casino, and the one hundred pounds used as start-up capital had now been completely lost—in fact, when he first started gambling in the casino, although his luck was not very good, he still managed to win some thanks to the spirituality of the Clown.
That was until Lin Ruo, wearing a new vest, appeared at his gambling table and performed what it means to be a capricious child of fortune.
In fact, Klein didn't recognize Lin Ruo at first, until he realized that the other party was following him closely, obviously targeting him, but without any malice towards him, he suddenly realized that the other party was Lin Ruo's newly created identity.
And Lin Ruo didn't hide this after being discovered by him. After greeting him, he began… to win his money even more intensely.
Of course, he wasn't an idiot. Combining Lin Ruo's previous hints and the core elements of the Clown's acting, after realizing that the person targeting him was Lin Ruo, Klein had already guessed what Lin Ruo wanted to do.
But this couldn't change the fact that Klein felt sad about the departure of the pounds. Although he could comfort himself by saying that the pounds were originally given to him by Lin Ruo, and now he was just returning them, he still felt heartache—Klein never denied the fact that he liked pounds. This was human nature, and there was nothing to be ashamed of—even because he had already guessed what Lin Ruo wanted to do, guessed that he couldn't keep the pounds at all, it made Klein feel a sense of facing fate but being unable to change it, and could only use a smile to hide all the sadness and frustration.
It was under this circumstance that Klein's Clown potion digested, digesting one-fifth of it in one breath, making Klein not know whether he should be happy or sad for a while, and his whole body went numb.
It was in this numb state that Klein walked out of the casino.
"Be happy, it's a good thing to digest the potion! And today's experiment was successful, which shows that our direction of playing the Clown is correct. In the future, we can try other methods for this," Lin Ruo said with a face full of smiles.
"For example?" Klein's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately had a bad feeling. He tentatively asked.
"After all, this time I used the money I gave you, so the damage to you is not that great." Lin Ruo said with a bright smile, "So next time, why not try gambling with your own money? You just got the bounty for hunting the bull… Don't worry, I won't win your money then, but I will give good luck to the person who gambles with you, so you can experience the feeling of personally watching your small money fall into other people's wallets, but being powerless to stop it."
Klein: ! ! !
Be a human!
Do you know why there are no pandas in this world? Because you have taken all the bamboo shoots, and the pandas are starving to death.
Klein's smile had completely frozen. His mind had even automatically constructed the scene described by Lin Ruo, and he thought of his possible mood at that time. But Klein couldn't refute Lin Ruo's idea, because after today's events, Klein understood that the method Lin Ruo said was very likely to allow him to quickly digest the Clown potion.
But it still hurts… my money… it was so hard to save a little…
In the end, Klein, who was unable to refute and unable to convince himself not to do this, could only show a bright smile.
At this moment, he looked like an unmade-up "Clown."
At the same moment, Klein had a strange feeling.
His Clown potion had digested another part, and now the digestion progress had reached more than a quarter.
Klein: … …
Okay, he was completely sure that the essence of playing the Clown should be that although he could slightly foresee his fate, he was powerless to change it, and in the end, he could only use a smile to hide all the sadness, frustration, and all other emotions.
No matter what, it's a good thing that the potion is digesting so quickly… Thinking this, Klein took a slight breath. He suddenly thought of what Lin Ruo had said when he was promoted to Clown about digesting the Clown potion in half a month.
At that time, Klein only thought that Lin Ruo was joking. Now that he thought about it, the other party might have already thought about how to help him quickly digest the Clown potion.
Thinking of this, Klein suddenly thought of another question and asked, "Lin Ruo, if we really continue at this rate, I should be able to digest the Clown potion soon, but the merit points I have accumulated now are probably far from enough to be promoted to Magician. There are no recent tasks that can allow me to accumulate merit points. What should I do?" His brows furrowed, and he was really worried about this matter.
Lin Ruo glanced at him, suddenly smiled, and said, "I thought you would wait until the Clown potion was completely digested before saying this… Actually, Klein, from Magician onwards, you don't need to follow the promotion process of the Church. It's basically impossible to follow that advancement process. It's too slow and not suitable for you…"
Klein was startled and asked, "You mean, private advancement?"
"How can you say it's private? Although I'm not a Nighthawk, I'm a serious Favored of the Goddess. Therefore, it's no problem for me to review your promotion process and approve your promotion… If others have any questions, let them ask the Goddess."
Lin Ruo said this with a justified and confident tone.
Faced with Lin Ruo, who was so justified in using his Favored status to engage in embezzlement, Klein would have twitched the corners of his mouth if he hadn't controlled his facial expressions with his Clown ability. He suddenly thought of a very crucial question and asked, "But if I'm promoted privately, what about the potion?"
"Then of course you have to find Beyonder ingredients to prepare it yourself!" Lin Ruo said this and then paused. He suddenly stopped and looked at Klein, and said, "How is it, are you angry? I have made a choice for you privately."
Klein was stunned for a moment. After hearing Lin Ruo's words, he began to think about how much money it would cost to buy the main and auxiliary Ingredients for the potion in the future. Although he didn't figure it out, he was instinctively feeling heartache. At this moment, he shook his head and said, "No."
