I've Become the King of Villains in the Game

Along the way, Chen Lun followed Viscount Pompey and his group as they toured the zoo.

Whatever they visited, he observed.

Whenever something interesting came up, Rebecca would ask him like a curious child, and Chen Lun would always explain on the spot.

The Viscount Pompey couple felt fortunate that this knowledgeable family tutor could join them, adding more significance to this trip.

For the most part, the visit didn't trigger the "Survival of the Fittest" passive skill; it was only when animals were seen eating or courting that Chen Lun actually received the corresponding attribute points.

Even so, by the end of the round, the attributes he could collect were fairly substantial.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Just then, Chen Lun suddenly noticed Baron Barnie, who was walking ahead, slightly moving his hand behind his back.

The motion was natural and didn't attract attention.

But Chen Lun squinted his eyes.

He slightly tilted his head and scanned the surrounding crowd.

A young man selling ice cream from a small cart seemed to lower his cap brim because of the glaring sun.

In a large iron cage nearby, a staff member was feeding a lazy tiger.

Two women were distributing Circus flyers, vigorously promoting the evening's show.

Everything seemed normal.

"Oh, Pompey, excuse me for a moment; I drank too much at lunch,"

Baron Barnie said to Viscount Pompey.

The Viscount nodded in understanding and then asked everyone to wait under the shade of trees for Baron Barnie's return.

Chen Lun frowned as he watched Baron Barnie's departing figure.

At that moment, a disturbance arose from the crowds around, followed by tourists up ahead turning around and running frantically.

"Ah——!!"

They screamed, panicked, as if they had seen something terrifying.

Seeing this, Viscount Pompey's family also grew nervous.

"What happened? Binose?"

Viscount Pompey asked, frowning.

The old Butler Binose stared at the crowd for a few seconds and shook his head.

"There are too many people; I can't see clearly... Your Excellency, should we leave now? It might become dangerous here."

Viscount Pompey glanced in the direction Baron Barnie had left, then looked at his wife and daughter.

"Let's not panic everyone; let's wait a little longer, Barnie hasn't come back yet, and I'm worried he doesn't know the situation."

Boom——!

A trumpeting sound, accompanied by the trembling of the ground.

Behind the crowd, two massive beast shadows appeared; they were two frenzied elephants!

They charged toward the crowd, causing injuries to many bystanders in their path.

"Your Excellency the Viscount, let's hurry up and go!"

Binose urged anxiously.

"Damn it! How could this happen! Let's go!"

Viscount Pompey bit his lip, directing everyone to avoid the crowd and leave along the side under the shade of the trees.

Clang!

Suddenly, an ice cream cart came crashing sideways, blocking the path of Viscount Pompey and his group.

The crowd was startled, and Lady Pompey let out a brief scream.

The young man wearing the cap took off running, disappearing into the crowd.

All around was chaos and noise, seeing the path blocked, Rebecca clutched the corner of Chen Lun's clothing in fear.

"Don't be afraid, Miss Rebecca,"

Chen Lun said softly.

Rebecca nodded a bit reassured.

Roar!!

A loud roar and a conspicuous yellow-brown fierce beast broke out of its cage.

"Don't panic, everyone! This way!"

The two women distributing flyers yelled loudly.

Panic spread as they pushed through the crowd, intentionally squeezing refugees to one side.

Seemingly helping to evacuate, they actually split the crowd, completely blocking the escape route for Pompey's family.

The tiger that had escaped its cage, drooling, charged violently toward the group with the Viscount.

"Watch out! — Barnie!"

Viscount Pompey's heart skipped a beat, instinctively calling out to the old butler.

Barnie, old and steady, gradually calmed down after the initial panic.

He instantly understood the viscount's intent, spun Rebecca's wheelchair around, taking the lead to clear the way. However, the old butler, due his age, couldn't push through the crowded throng of people.

As the tiger lunged, Barnie gritted his teeth and stood in front of Viscount Pompey to protect him.

At that critical moment, everyone heard Mr. Jack's voice from behind:

"Little cat! Come here!"

Whiz—!

A sharp whistle.

The tiger roared and bypassed the old man trying to risk his life, attacking the dark-haired young man instead.

Chen Lun lowered his finger from his lips, dodged to the side, and evaded the tiger's pounce.

In the blur of their crossing paths, he raised his hand, fingers coming together like a beak plunging into water, and gently pecked at the tiger's flank, quickly withdrawing his hand.

The sequence of movements was as quick as lightning, unnoticed by the onlookers.

The tiger, failing in its attempt to bite, rolled on the ground, roaring in pain, but unable to rise.

On Chen Lun's thigh, the pitch-black gloss on his fingertips slowly faded, returning to normal.

[Animal Mimicry LVMAX]

[Stork Peck]

[Skill Description: You have learned the characteristics of a shoebill stork, able to momentarily harden your fingers and deliver explosive damage]

This was a new trait Chen Lun had acquired from a rare shoebill stork he encountered during the tour, using his Animal Mimicry ability.

Simultaneously, he also obtained another ability characteristic [Stork Stomach], which gave Chen Lun powerful digestive capabilities.

At the same time, Chen Lun pruned away such trash traits as [Ant-Eating] and [Tree Climbing], allowing his ten characteristics to excel in their respective areas, adopting a well-rounded development route to adapt to combat in various situations.

"This tiger... just like the crazed horse yesterday."

Chen Lun took a quick glance at it and thought to himself.

The tiger, having lost its sanity, could not be communicated with, so Chen Lun had no choice but to physically subdue it.

"Mr. Jack!"

Rebecca exclaimed in alarm.

Viscount and Lady Pompey and Barnie were all shocked, turning their heads to stare at Chen Lun.

They hadn't expected the frail-looking tutor to willingly draw the fierce tiger's attention to protect them.

"Are you hurt? Mr. Jack!"

Rebecca wheeled herself over, asking with concern.

"Don't worry, I'm fine."

Chen Lun shook his head.

"It didn't catch me, just fell over itself."

Seeing the tiger Chen Lun pointed at, writhing on the ground in agony, everyone felt a lingering fear.

When ferocious animals are caged, they are merely objects of human entertainment; once they break free, they transform into fierce beasts of nature.

Dragging humanity back to the primal fight for survival, where the strong live and the weak perish!

"Now is not the time for chit-chat, let's get out of here."

Chen Lun warned.

Viscount Pompey nodded and directed Barnie to lead everyone to push through the crowd and escape into the distance.

Chen Lun turned around, eying two rampaging elephants, pondering briefly.

"Your Excellency the Viscount, you go ahead and leave; I'll go back and look for Baron Barnie."

Viscount Pompey, concerned for his old friend, nodded as well.

"Take care, Lord Jack. We'll wait for you outside."

Show respect to the man who saved his family's life, Viscount Pompey used an honorific.

Chen Lun turned and walked back, under Rebecca's worried gaze.

He had just received a mission.
