229. The price of this is a little more

Chapter 230 229

Lloyd currently only knows the first five times of the [Twisted] system, and the latter ones have not yet gained the relevant knowledge.

But you can guess it just by guessing, and it must be all kinds of 'plays' that are both dead and anti-human......

In the final analysis, if normal humans want to get involved in this system, they can only choose that steady and conservative route.

So the question is still the same, what level of noble things is this set of 'orthodox paths' prepared for?

Thinking of this, Lloyd suddenly smiled inexplicably and shook his head again.

Forget it, there's no point in thinking about these issues, anyway, we just distort the system very well!

Anyway, the improvement speed of my conservative route is not bad, I don't need to distort three or four systems, and I can magically improve the training of two systems at once, killing two birds with one stone, isn't it beautiful?

However, Lloyd also made a long-term plan, if the two systems can't be [detached] together in the future, or even need a third system to support the [Twisted] side, then he will set foot in the [Manifestation] side.

Although from the perspective of many people's choices, as well as functionality, it may be better to choose the [Intellectual] side, and the comprehensive improvement may be higher, but Lloyd has a different idea.

In this state of 'soul body splitting' when you [infiltrate] by yourself, you can't do a lot of things because you don't have a physical body, so I hope to manifest an 'arm' or other similar help, so that you can perform more operations.

In addition, it is also good to have an extra hand to help in daily life, dissecting monsters more smoothly, drawing rituals more efficiently, cooking skills can be more profound, and you can have an extra hand to hold a gun in a fight.

In short, it will definitely be much more convenient.

By the way, when I go back to Elolo, I can finally hug her delicate body or pinch her jade feet......

Of course, this last purpose is incidental, not primary.

It just so happened that through the previous analysis of the 'unknown fragment', he accumulated some basic knowledge of the [embodiment] system, and the high and low level was considered to be a door, saving some time.

However, these are all long-term plans, and Lloyd has not even reached the third order of the [Veto] system at the moment, so these long-term plans are just thinking about it.

But if you want to improve the training level of the [Veto] side, you have to go to the [Audience with the Sage], then you need to go to Métis to borrow the bell.

It's okay to use a music box instead, but the effect is not as good as using a bell after all, and Lloyd prides himself on being a perfectionist young man, of course, he wants to use the best.

Merely...... The last time the two had contact, they ended up inexplicably unhappy, and the atmosphere was quite awkward, and they didn't talk to each other for a few days......

Why don't you talk to her, and if necessary, invite her to dinner? I can even cook it myself to show my sincerity.

Lloyd pondered as he ran to wait for the elevator.

As a result, as soon as the door opened, he was greeted by a drunken Metis.

"Uh......"

Lloyd didn't expect to meet her so coincidentally, and didn't have time to think of an opening statement.

On the contrary, it was Métis who took the initiative to say:

"Hmph...... Stingy ......"

She first scolded inexplicably, and then continued:

"I've forgotten about the unpleasantness last time, and I don't mind it, I'm not angry with you, in the end, it's me who ......"

As she spoke, she suddenly became a little slurred, as if she was embarrassed by what she was going to say.

It took several seconds before she continued:

"I ...... Even if I'm the worst woman in the world, I'm not so stingy~"

As she spoke, she took the bell out of her pocket and threw it to Lloyd.

Then without waiting for Lloyd to enter the elevator, he hurriedly pulled the joystick and went upstairs by himself.

In this way, I looked a little embarrassed, as if I was running away......

Lloyd was holding the bell, still a little stunned, not too clear about the situation.

Is it her 'mild madness' that has flares up again?

Or did she think she was still angry when she saw that she didn't come yesterday? And then take the initiative to run to yourself, want to reconcile?

Lloyd thought about it for a moment and felt that the first speculation was more likely.

Sure enough, I still can't understand the thinking circuits of the mentally ill......

But anyway, the bell is reversed, so you should be able to borrow it from her normally, right?

In this way, Lloyd took the bell back to the office, closed the door, and then asked the little milk cat to guard the door, and he prepared the ritual at his fingertips, directly holding the statue of the Sage, and entered the [Thinking Field]

Lloyd sat cross-legged on the grass, relying on the assistance of the ritual, plus 170 points of [cognition] and [focused learning] skills, and soon entered an excellent state of self-forgetfulness.

And beside him, an invisible force also appeared, condensing into an invisible silhouette of a girl, gently hugging Lloyd from behind, holding his waist with one hand and caressing his chest with the other, like an intimate girl next door.

But after hugging him like this for a while, the 'girl next door' was not enough, so she actually changed her position, took the initiative to get into his arms, and kept rubbing her chest with her cheek.

It's just that the movements look a little rusty, not as smooth and natural as Eloro or Ephrol, and not even as good as Wei Ya.

Could it be because of inner reserve, or maybe it's because the skill hasn't been mastered for too long and needs more practice?

In this way, the invisible 'girl next door' lay in Lloyd's arms for a long time, until the effect of the ritual was over and Lloyd woke up from her state of selflessness, and she was stuck in seconds and quietly disappeared.

"Uh-huh-huh!"

Lloyd let out a comfortable snort, stretched hard, and said contentedly:

"Harvested!"

He felt that he had received a lot of knowledge from the [Veto] system this time, and if the progress of [Detachment] could be presented with a 'progress bar', then this time the audience would advance by at least 15% or more.

This is already quite exaggerated efficiency, and it is the most obtained.

According to the presiding judge's notebook, if compared and quantified, the progress that an ordinary transcendent with average talent can advance with a single [Audience with the Sage] is about less than 1%......

Even for geniuses, it's hard to progress more than 5% at a time.

Sure enough, my talent is not much worse than my sister, I really deserve to be a genius and extraordinary brother and sister!

Lloyd gave a slight smirk.

Corresponding to this progress, there was a lot of extra knowledge in his mind, which made his [Rejection Declaration] skill have the effect of imprisoning low-risk monsters.

Most monsters with danger level 1 and 2 will be [vetoed] and become live targets that cannot escape.

If you continue to go deeper, you should be able to [veto] the physical attack ability of these monsters, turning them into stakes that will not resist.

When the progress reaches the end, it should still be able to [veto] the extraordinary abilities of such monsters, or defense, etc.

The [veto] system is really one step at a time, paying attention to a steady improvement.

Lloyd summed it up briefly in his mind, then opened the panel again, and saw a large number of prompts that he had unconsciously ignored.

He couldn't help but be stunned, and he also understood why this time he would gain more than before.

【Ding~Madness +800】

【Ding~Madness +1000】

【Ding~Madness +1200】

Raising up the family, the [Audience of the Sage] will not only suffer from spiritual pollution, but also be stronger than last time!

It turns out that this time the progress is rapid, is it accompanied by a cost?

But if it's such a price, please bother more, I can afford it!

Lloyd couldn't laugh or cry in his heart, but he wasn't too surprised.

Because the previous [Audience with the Sage] also encountered this situation.

But that time, he only suffered 3,000 points of spiritual pollution, and this time, the series of madness points added up to more than 7,000 points, more than doubled.

In addition, what he got from the execution side today actually directly promoted him to another level.

Lloyd still added the 5 points he had just gained to [Cognition] first, and raised [Cognition] to the same level as [Reason] and [Spiritual Power] to 175 points, and the bucket was stable.

As for the [Inspiration] at 100 points......

It doesn't matter, three boards are enough to make a bucket.

After adding points, Lloyd continued to retrace the panel prompts, then scratched his head and checked what was growing in his head.

It turned out that this time the audience did not acquire the knowledge of the [Distortion] system.

Maybe it was because his eyes and attention were focused on the white part of the Twin Helix Tower?

The last time Lloyd met with him, he suffered from spiritual pollution, and he thought that it was caused by the knowledge of the [Distortion] side, but now, combined with the results of this time and the more understanding of the Sage, Lloyd has reversed his previous conclusion.

This spiritual pollution, like when he helped Eloro to share it, should come from the veto of the Sage.

Judging from the fact that holding the statue of the Holy One in one's hand will not be mentally polluted, it means that [Visiting the Holy One] is a more intimate act than holding the statue of the Holy One?

It seems that the 'Double Experience' event is not completely over, but it is just a different way to stay by your side?

But no matter what, it's a win-win situation, I have gained madness points, and the Sage has relieved the burden, it is really a win and a win, a square win.

Therefore, instead of minding, Lloyd was grateful and honored, and as soon as he left the [Realm of Thought], he hurriedly said respectfully to the Sage Statue:

"I am always willing to share your worries and feel honored for it."

The Sage didn't respond, but exuded a gentle force, brushing his forehead and then his cheek, as if in turn comforting his hard work.

Lloyd was about to say something more, but he heard a knock at the door.

When I opened the door in the past, I saw that familiar 'arm' again?
