Chapter 125 124

Lloyd took his payslip, looked at it carefully, and counted the digits.

550,000.

As a newcomer who has just entered the society for the second month, this income should be considered ......

So-so, right?

It was a cut lower than he expected, and he was deducted a lot of taxes......

After receiving the salary, Lloyd immediately approached Wei Ya and asked her to help arrange the room for the [Detachment] ceremony.

Then he went to the club, ready to buy the core material, 'Fountain of Blood'.

As soon as I entered the door, the club manager greeted me warmly.

"Oh~Lord Lloyd, you're here again, I don't know if you're ...... today"

"Okay, okay, don't talk about it, this is my membership fee."

Lloyd laughed and pulled out a stack of coins, and then found that the manager was not very happy, but looked relieved.

"Huh~ I finally said that I moved you, if you don't agree again, I have to wonder if my words and strategies are not suitable for today's young people? Isn't it time to learn something new? ”

The manager quickly explained.

"It's right to study, but let's help me put together a list first, it's the one I mentioned to you before, this should be one of my membership benefits, right?"

"Okay, please wait."

The manager quickly brought over a few pages of a 'member-only list' with quotations for the 'fountain of blood', as well as past transaction prices, along with a market trend analysis.

As a popular material nowadays, the lowest price of this particular gemstone is more than 100,000 yuan, and the high price is more than 20 million yuan......

The gap is ridiculously wide......

The main factor that determines the price difference is the quality of the spirit, as well as the size of the specification.

Spirituality has a direct impact on the effectiveness of detachment; The size determines the duration and forgiveness of the sadhana.

At present, the piece with the highest price is not only excellent in spirituality, but also a rare 'big guy' in the market, with a round and full appearance, which can not only be used for [detachment], but also has a very high value and appreciation space for processing into jewelry.

But at this price, just look at it......

Lloyd picked and chose from the list, and finally won a piece with an offer of 250,000.

The spirituality of this piece has been verified by a third party, and it is also of 'excellent' quality, but unfortunately the specifications are on the small side, and it is estimated that it can only last for two hours.

According to the experience of the presiding judge in his notes, what is more important is the quality of the gemstones, which will affect the effect of the entire sadhana.

The better the effect, the higher the success rate, and the greater the improvement after completing [Detachment], and even affect the efficiency of subsequent practice.

But duration is also important, as the process of the second detachment is much more complex than the first, requiring a lot of patience, a lot of care, and preferably extra time to provide forgiveness.

And this gem can only last two hours, this time is a little too tight for ordinary people, whether the process can be completed smoothly is not good, and there is no room for error at all, resulting in its excellent spiritual grade, and it cannot be sold at the price.

But for Lloyd, there are not so many worries, he still has confidence in himself.

Choose this piece, the cost performance is the highest.

Moreover, this piece is still consigned on the trading floor, as long as you pay the money, you can get the goods immediately, no need to wait.

So Lloyd gritted his teeth and called the manager.

A moment later, he had 250,000 less in his account, and an extra jewel the size of a ring in his pocket, which kept exuding a full spirituality that made people feel refreshed and heartbroken.

This thing is dark red and crystal clear, and when illuminated by light, the inside will show water ripples, as if there is really blood flowing.

It is indeed an excellent quality material.

It's just that Lloyd didn't look at it much, and always felt that what flowed in it was the blood in his heart......

That's it, everything is ready to wait, waiting for tomorrow.

……………………

【Ding~Madness +50】

As soon as Lloyd got off the 'subway', he shouted in his heart:

5 points [Rational], add it to me!

【Ding~Add points to complete】

[User: Lloyd]

[Status: Normal]

[Madness Value: 0/5000, Upper Limit: 11000]

[Rationality: 110]

[Spiritual Power: 105]

[Inspiration: 60]

[Cognition: 105]

[System: Distort LV2, veto LV1]

[Acquired skills: efficient learning; Explore; Divination LV4; Vertigo Resistance LV4; Transcendent Swordsmanship LV1; Twisted Realm LV5; Aggressive speech LV3; Gifted Distortion LV1; Ritual Mastery (Twisted) LV2]

[Unresolved Fragments: Unknown fragments of unknown composition*1, 10.5% of current resolution progress]

[Unread book: "The Book of Truth, Volume 1", the current reading progress is 7.8%]

In the past few days, he has risen to level 3, and then accumulated some madness points, just through today's 'subway', and then another level.

After completing [Detachment], there will be a wave of attribute improvements, which is beautiful.

Lloyd pinched a few more pairs of oiled paper packets in his pockets, which also contained the materials needed for the [Twist] system.

But in fact, he wasn't sure if the [Distortion] system would be able to 'rub' to the first level this time, after all, according to the knowledge he had acquired before, if he was promoted through the [Distortion Detachment Effect], it would often take several times, and it might even fail......

As we all know, detachment is more difficult the further you go; And if you choose to get involved in multiple systems, the mental pressure on yourself is particularly huge.

But even so, it's much better than going through the orthodox process that costs lives.

It can only be said that this [distorted] system is really difficult to mix......

So Lloyd gave himself a 'vaccination' in advance last night, and if the [Distortion] system was not promoted this time, then try the [Manifestation] system.

That's all you can do, and the rest can only be left to the panel.

You don't want me to get involved in too much of the system and add pressure and burden to you, do you?

Lloyd looked at the panel in front of him and said to himself.

I've already tried hard, you should learn to work hard, right?

The panel certainly won't have any response.

Lloyd smiled, relaxed, and walked out of the 'subway' hole.

Wei Ya was still waiting for him outside as always.

As soon as the two met, Wei Ya was keenly aware of Lloyd's mood changes, and hurriedly spoke to comfort:

"Don't be nervous, I'm sure you can succeed, after all, you're the first person I know to do two [transcendences] in two months, and your talent is as bright as the stars."

Lloyd smiled and replied:

"Thank you, you're just as bright."

"Huh? I don't dare compare to you, my talent is actually very average, and it only took you two months to catch up with me......"

Wei Ya said, her face suddenly showed a little loneliness, and then said in a low voice:

"Won't I be able to walk with you in the near future?"

"How so? If I don't see you here one morning, I'll be disappointed. ”

Lloyd replied earnestly, and then added:

"Wei Ya, your brilliance is not in your talent, but in other places."

"Really? Thank you ......."

Wei Ya lowered her head, a slight smile appeared at the corner of her mouth, and she added in her heart:

Lloyd, your brilliance is not only talent......

The two chatted and walked like this, and along the way, Wei Ya shared all her experiences and experiences about the second [detachment].

I could feel that she really wanted Lloyd to pass without a hitch.

……………………

Soon, Lloyd arrived at the luxury suite on the 8th floor.

In addition to the classic three-piece set of incense, candles, and mirrors, there is also a slightly spiritual antique kettle, as well as a drawing board and a white canvas on it.

There is also a pair of oiled paper bags in the corner, which contains some auxiliary materials such as spiritual ink that need to be used.

Lloyd turned around and locked the door, then let out a sigh of relief, took out the oiled paper bag he had prepared from his pocket, and began to prepare for the ritual.

The second detachment of the veto system requires the transcendent to reject the 'mistakes' in the picture for the duration of the sadhana.

Specifically, the 'fountain of blood' is put into the antique kettle, and then a special pot of 'blood fountain' is made with auxiliary materials, and then it is sprinkled on the blank canvas.

Under the influence of the ritual effect, some lines will appear on the canvas, forming a unique picture.

But there are several 'mistakes' hidden in it, and the transcendent ones are required to [veto] them.

That's it.

There is no clear theory as to what that 'error' is, why it occurs, and how to find it.

Even the presiding judge was vague in his notes, but he only passed on some experience.

The point is to be inspired and intuitive, and to relax and get rid of distractions.

Lloyd couldn't dig deeper, so he could only follow the steps.

He lit incense, spread the canvas on the floor, and set a mirror in front of him.

Then he began to mix spiritual ink and threw the 250,000 gems he bought.

Then I added the 'brain-like crystal block'.

The antique kettle suddenly began to boil slightly, but he didn't feel the temperature rise, but only emitted a fishy smell from it.

Maybe it's the smell of brains?

Lloyd took out the 'nerve endings of the high-risk monster' again, shook it out as much as he could, and spread it on the canvas.

Then, he lifted the lid of the pot and splashed the 'blood spring' that had lost its flavor on the canvas, allowing it to mingle with the nerve endings, and then quietly waited for it to flow and spread.

The Detachment ceremony begins in earnest from this moment.

And Lloyd's [Twisting Ritual] was also activated at the same time.

If he can successfully complete [Detachment] in this situation, and finally take a sip of the 'Crazy Aged Wine', he will be able to achieve the desired distortion effect.
