I upgrade points in the Holy Inquisition

Chapter 230 229. More of this price

Lloyd currently only knows the first five ways of [transcendence] in the [distortion] system, and has not yet obtained relevant knowledge for the latter.

But we can roughly guess that it must be a variety of "games" that are both suicidal and anti-human...

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

So it's still the same question, what level of precious things is this set of "orthodox ways" prepared for?

When Lloyd thought of this, he suddenly smiled inexplicably and shook his head again.

Forget it, forget it, there is no point in considering these issues. Anyway, our distortion system is very powerful!

Anyway, the speed of improvement I choose the conservative route is not bad. I don't need to distort three or four systems, and I can also 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 cannot be [transcendent] together in the future, or even a third system is needed to support the [distortion] side, then he will go to the [materialization] side.

Although considering the choices of many people and the functionality, it may be better to choose the [intelligence] side, and the comprehensive improvement may be higher, but Lloyd has a different idea.

When I was [infiltrating], I couldn’t do many things in this state of ‘soul and body’ because I didn’t have a physical body, so I really hoped to materialize an ‘arm’ or other similar assistance, so that I could do more operations.

In addition, it is also good to have an extra hand to help in daily life. Dissecting monsters can be smoother, drawing rituals can be more efficient, cooking can be more advanced, and fighting can have an extra hand to hold a gun.

In short, it will definitely be much more convenient.

By the way, when I go back to Eloro, I can at least hug her delicate body or pinch her jade feet...

Of course, the last purpose is only incidental, not the main one.

Coincidentally, by analyzing the "unknown fragment" above, he accumulated some basic knowledge of the [materialization] system, which was a good introduction and saved some time.

However, these are long-term plans. Lloyd has not even reached the third level of the [veto] system yet, so these long-term plans are just random thoughts.

But if you want to improve the training level of [veto], you have to go to [audience with the saint], and then you need to borrow the bell from Metis.

It's okay to use a music box instead, but the effect is not as good as using a bell. Lloyd claims to be a perfectionist young man who is perfect, so of course he wants to use the best.

It's just that... the last time we met, we ended up inexplicably unhappy, and the atmosphere was quite awkward. We didn't talk to each other for a few days...

Let's go talk to her. If necessary, treat her to a meal? I can even cook it myself to show my sincerity.

Lloyd thought about it while running to wait for the elevator.

As a result, when the door opened, he was met with a drunken Metis.

"Uh..."

Lloyd didn't expect to meet her by chance, and didn't have time to think of an opening remark.

Instead, Metis took the initiative to say:

"Hmph... stingy..."

She cursed for no reason at first, and then continued:

"I have forgotten the unpleasantness last time, and I don't mind it anymore. I'm not angry with you. After all, it's me..."

As she spoke, she suddenly became a little hesitant, as if she was embarrassed about what to say next.

After several seconds, she continued:

"I... Even if I am the worst woman in the world, I am not so stingy, here~"

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

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

In this way, she looked a bit embarrassed, as if she was running away...

Lloyd was holding the bell, still a little stunned, not quite understanding the situation.

Was her 'mild madness' recurring?

Or did she think that he was still angry when she saw that he didn't come yesterday? Then she took the initiative to come to him and wanted to reconcile?

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

As expected, I still can't understand the thinking circuit of a mental patient...

But no matter what, the bell was passed on, and I should be able to borrow it from her normally later, right?

In this way, Lloyd took the bell back to the office, closed the door, and asked the little cat to guard the door. He prepared the ritual at will, and directly held the statue of the saint in his hand 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 [Focus on Learning] skills, and soon entered an excellent state of selflessness.

Beside him, an invisible force also appeared, condensing into the outline of a girl invisible to the naked eye, gently hugging Lloyd from behind, one hand around his waist, the other hand gently stroking his chest, like an intimate girl next door.

But after hugging for a while, the 'girl next door' still felt it was not enough, and actually changed her posture, took the initiative to get into his arms, and kept rubbing her cheek against his chest.

But the action looked a little unfamiliar, not as smooth and natural as Ai Luoluo or Yi Fu Luoer, and even worse than Wei Ya.

This may be because of the inner reserve, or it may be because this skill has not 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 ended and Lloyd woke up from his trance. She then disappeared quietly in seconds.

"Hmmmm!"

Lloyd groaned comfortably, stretched his waist, and said with satisfaction:

"I have gained a lot!"

He felt that he had received a lot of knowledge from the [Veto] system this time. If the progress of [Transcendence] could be presented with a 'progress bar', then this audience had advanced at least 15% of the progress.

This is already an exaggerated efficiency, and it is the most profitable one.

If we follow the words in the judge's notebook, the progress that can be advanced by an ordinary extraordinary person with average talent in one [audience with the saint] is probably less than 1%...

Even for geniuses, it is difficult for them to make more than 5% progress at one time.

Sure enough, my talent is not much worse than my sister's. We are really genius extraordinary siblings!

Lloyd was a little proud.

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

Most monsters with danger levels 1 and 2 will have their mobility [Veto] reduced, turning them into live targets that cannot escape.

If we continue to go deeper, we should be able to [Veto] the physical attack capabilities of such monsters and turn them into wooden stakes that will not resist.

When the progress is advanced to the end, we should be able to [Veto] the extraordinary abilities or defense capabilities of such monsters.

The [Veto] system is really a step-by-step, steady improvement.

Lloyd briefly summarized it in his mind, and then opened the panel again, seeing a lot of prompts that he had unconsciously ignored before.

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

[Ding~ Madness value +800]

[Ding~ Madness value +1000]

[Ding~ Madness value +1200]

Wow, my family, [Meeting the Saint] will not only cause mental pollution, but it will also be stronger than last time!

So the rapid progress this time comes with a price?

But if this is the price, please give me more, I can afford it!

Lloyd was in a dilemma, but he was not too surprised.

Because he had encountered this situation before [Meeting the Saint].

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

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

Lloyd first added the 5 points he had just gained to [Cognition], raising [Cognition] to 175 points, the same as [Rationality] and [Spiritual Power], so that the bucket would be stable.

As for [Inspiration] at 100 points...

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

After adding the points, Lloyd continued to trace the panel prompts, then scratched his head and checked what grew in his mind.

It turned out that this time, he did not gain any knowledge from the [Distortion] system.

Maybe it was because his sight and attention were focused on the white part of the double helix tower at that time?

The last time Lloyd met with the emperor, he suffered from mental pollution, and thought it was caused by the knowledge from the [Distortion] system, but now combined with the results of this time and a better understanding of the saint, Lloyd overturned his previous conclusion.

These mental pollutions should come from the rejection of the saint, just like when he helped Eloro share the burden.

Since I was not mentally polluted when holding the statue of the Saint, it means that [Meeting the Saint] is a more intimate act than holding the statue of the Saint?

It seems that the "Double Experience" activity has not yet ended, but it has just changed the way to accompany me?

But no matter what, this is a win-win situation. I gained madness points and the Saint relieved the burden. It was really a win-win, a win on top of a win.

So Lloyd didn't mind it, but was grateful and honored. As soon as he left the [Thinking Field], he hurriedly said to the statue of the Saint respectfully:

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

The statue of the Saint did not respond, but only exuded a gentle power, gently brushing his forehead and then his cheek, as if to comfort him for his hard work.

Lloyd was about to say something else, but heard a knock on the door.

He went over to open the door and saw that it was the familiar "arm" again?
