I upgraded and added points in the Holy Inquisition

Chapter 124 123. Why is the progress still going backwards?
Obviously, Lloyd did not intend to comply with the waiter's wishes and come every day.

I am a hard-working young man who strives to make progress. How can I be addicted to such a sensual place every day?
What's more, he has always firmly believed that this place is definitely not a charity. You can redeem materials by playing games?Do you still encourage yourself to come often?
So...what's the price?

In short, he won't come often, so the hard-earned points must be used wisely.

"Let's do this for today, save the points first."

Lloyd spoke to the waiter and prepared to leave.

But the waiter still wanted to ask him to come every day, so he quickly asked:

"I wonder if you are satisfied with today's gameplay? Do you need me to recommend some more exciting gameplay for you? Or... make an exception and let you go to the third floor in advance?"

Um?Anxious?

Lloyd clearly felt the change in this guy's tone. Although he was probably not a human being, and the look on his face was as professional and calm as ever, he could still feel the eagerness in his heart.

Just like a club manager who always wants to add himself as a member.

So Lloyd asked:

"Make an exception? So what if we don't make an exception?"

"Normally, you need to become a fifth-level transcendent, or win fifty games on the second level before you can go to the third level... But you have already set a new record and gained precious points, so once An opportunity to make an exception.”

"No need, I think the second floor is good too."

"Okay, then I hope to see you again tomorrow."

The waiter said and stepped aside, revealing a black wooden door behind him.

Then your tomorrow may be a bit long...

Lloyd cursed quietly and left without looking back.

His vision blurred, and he returned to the empty room, with his dagger lying quietly at his feet.

After putting on the dagger again, Lloyd walked out of the room and saw the little milk cat rolling over like a ball of hair. He pulled at his trouser legs and wanted to hug him.

Lloyd took the little kitten into his arms, rubbed it, and asked again:
"Are you okay? Have you met anyone else here?"

"Meow meow meow!"

The little milk cat waved its little paws.

Maybe this game is not popular enough here in Brilliant City?Or does it mean that each player corresponds to a different entrance?

Then where other players enter, there will also be a '? ? 'Properties for lazy guys?'
Lloyd thought about it in his mind as he went downstairs.

The second time I entered this 'Dream Theater', I felt that this place became even more mysterious.

Next, Lloyd went back home first, leaving the little cat to exercise on his own, and then went to the basement of the club.

He walked into the rest room, put the 'nerve endings' he collected in his pocket into the safe, then slumped down on the recliner, summarizing today's events in his mind.

panel!

He first checked the current status.

[Unanalyzed fragments: unknown fragments with unknown composition*1, current analysis progress is 9%]

[Unread book: "The Book of Truth·Volume 7.8", current reading progress is [-]%]

All attributes finally exceeded 100, showing a fully developed bucket-like aesthetic. My long-term hard work has paid off gratifyingly, and I still have a strong sense of accomplishment.

I am really a high-quality young man who is constantly striving for self-improvement, relying entirely on himself, mature, steady, reserved and humble, and positive!

Lloyd affirmed himself first, and then looked at the two unfinished fragments and books.

The progress of the analysis of the fragments is normal. I 'checked in' again at 90 points of [cognition], so this is the progress.

But how come the progress of "Book of Truth" has regressed by 0.2%?

This made Lloyd feel very strange, and he quickly looked at the ancient book that was sleeping deep in his memory and still spinning slowly.

There is no change in appearance.Then I recalled the knowledge in my mind...

Nothing has changed, nothing suddenly became less or more.

So why is this progress regressing?

Lloyd thought about it and suddenly thought of the situation when he was fighting zombies today.

Shouldn't it be...

He read the skill description of [Gift Distortion] again and noticed an important point:
"If you choose to consume the seeds of consciousness, the original effects of the seeds of distortion will also come with it."

Lloyd instantly understood why today's performance surprised him.

First of all, my [Spiritual Power] has exceeded 100. Although there are no reminders or changes on the panel, I can clearly feel that I have become stronger. There is a feeling that quantitative changes cause qualitative changes, which has a hidden effect on various skills. promote.

It shows that this kind of strength is not brought about by the system, but the result of one's own efforts. Other extraordinary people should also be able to achieve such strength.

Then he activates [Extraordinary Swordsmanship], allowing the bird puppet to obtain the damage effect of the 'sword blade'. Coupled with the enhanced spiritual power, there will be a gorgeous scene of cutting the cartoon zombies in half.

As for why the puppets were judged as "cold weapons," Lloyd suspected that the point was not the puppets, but the slingshot, which indeed fell into the category of cold weapons.

As for why a puppet cut all the zombies in half, Lloyd thought it was the effect of [Gift Distortion].

I don’t know how this skill works. It treats the progress of interpretation of the "Book of Truth" as a 'seed of consciousness', thereby satisfying the skill release conditions and achieving a certain distortion, so that the effect of [Super Swordsmanship] falls on everyone. The head of the zombie seemed to have been slashed with a sword.

There were more than 20 cartoon zombies on the field at that time, and the corresponding reading progress also dropped by 0.2%. The digital argument was passed.

As for why the effect after distortion appears as swordsmanship...

It can only be said that it is a mysterious and wonderful fusion skill after all. Isn’t it surprising that the effect is amazing?

And strictly speaking, soft puppets can cause damage like swords. Isn't this a [distortion]?

After understanding why he became stronger, Lloyd accepted it with peace of mind.

As for the 0.2% lost reading progress, it doesn't matter. It's not much anyway, and I haven't noticed any obvious changes. I can just read it again in the future to make up for it.

Reviewing the past and learning the new is a principle that every diligent and motivated young man understands.

Finally, Lloyd focused on [cognition].

After [Rationality] and [Spiritual Power] exceeded 100, obvious changes could be felt, but [Cognition] did not...

Maybe it will improve some learning efficiency?
We'll find out after I borrow some books from the library tomorrow and take a look.

........................

In this way, Lloyd spent a few peaceful days and returned to the regular pace of life.

I meet with Wei Ya every day, chat, work, make money, study, then go home to be with my sister, and then hide in bed and chat with Wei Ya remotely.

The two of them talked about everything, but they were very reserved and didn't go in the direction that they should talk about most...

As for Eve Luol's magazine, it has entered a tepid and stable period. She needs to wait patiently for word-of-mouth fermentation, which has reduced her work intensity and pressure a lot, and gradually moved closer to her previous life rhythm.

Lloyd didn't do anything these days, so he simply verified the changes brought about by 100 points of [Cognition]. It was indeed as he had speculated before, and the learning efficiency had improved again.

If the learning effect in the past was still based on good memory and the ability to remember books after reading them, then now the ability to understand is stronger. A lot of knowledge that could not be understood before and could only be memorized by rote can now be roughly understood. Understand the specific meaning.

Such changes are mainly reflected in learning rituals. In the past, those textures, designs, and layouts that did not understand the principles could only be memorized by force. Now, they can understand the operating principles behind them and make some optimizations and improvements.

This has greatly promoted the miniaturization and portability of the ritual. After these few days of practice, he has been able to miniaturize [Concentration] to the size of a desk, which basically occupies an office space compared to before. , the improvement is very obvious.

It’s just that there is still a certain distance between the goal of being as big as a music box, and we have to keep working hard.

In addition, 100 points of [Cognition] also brought about another change, that is, the insanity value obtained by interpreting the unknown fragment every three days increased to 3000.

This is naturally a good thing for Lloyd, as the rewards for the 'three-day sign-in' have increased.

But for ordinary people who don’t have a panel, it’s terrifying to think about it...

In addition, his progress in interpreting the fragment has also increased to 10%, and he has inexplicably extra knowledge of the [Embodiment] system in his mind.

But they should all be relatively basic, such as the principle of "embodiment", how to cultivate one's own "embodiment", and how to interfere with other people's "embodiment".

Lloyd felt that all this knowledge could be found in the library. Of course, there was none in the Brilliant City, but there should be a lot in the City of Illusion.

Because he felt that this knowledge was really basic and he understood it without spending much thought.

It's a pity that it is not used. This is all content that will be covered only after getting involved in the [Embodiment] system and completing the corresponding [Enlightenment].

Of course, Lloyd doesn't think about opening another system now, so he just thinks it's a long-term experience and doesn't take it too seriously.

However, it is a bit regrettable that the reading progress of "The Book of Truth" has not improved. The book still stays quietly in the depths of memory, feeling a bit out of reach. Lloyd can only leave it alone for now.

So just like that, he finally waited for the payday he had been waiting for.
