I upgrade points in the Holy Inquisition

Chapter 573 573. My illusory trial has a new trick

In short, neither Lloyd nor Professor Lawrence paid too much attention to this abnormal explosion. Anyway, they only needed to know that it happened on the enemy's territory and should have caused considerable losses, which was worth half a day's joy.

So Lloyd did not continue to delve into this issue, and asked again:

"By the way, the library I salvaged before..."

"Cough cough cough! Why does my throat suddenly feel uncomfortable? I want to go to the medical department to have a look."

Professor Lawrence suddenly burst into a dry cough, then quickly opened a portal, jumped in, and disappeared.

Lloyd didn't have time to finish his words, and could only stand there awkwardly...

Uh... Did I mention something very troublesome?

Lloyd thought about it, and then decided to go to the place where he played the 'puzzle'.

I have been outside for three days, and it has been a month in the college. I think the students in the space department should be able to leave a surprise for me, right?

But just as he was about to slide the portal to leave, a researcher next to him suddenly rushed over and blocked Lloyd as if he had received some kind of order.

"Teacher Lloyd, I have collected several sets of abnormal readings here. Can you help me take a look?"

"Ah? OK~ no problem..."

"…………"

"…… Anyway, that's it. It's best to check the environment near this set of equipment to see what specific phenomenon caused the abnormal readings."

"Okay, thank you for your advice, Teacher Lloyd."

After Lloyd explained the researcher's question, another researcher immediately came over and started asking him other questions.

Three more came in a row. After Lloyd answered their questions one by one, he looked at the time and saw that it was time for dinner.

It was still afternoon when he first entered the college, right?

Lloyd had to give up the idea of ​​walking around and went back to the dormitory to cook and eat.

In the middle, he happened to meet Dr. Mao Mao who lived next door and gave him the "little gift" he had collected from the butler before.

"Wow! Aww!"

Dr. Mao Mao danced with joy, and the style looked like a tentacle monster seeing a beautiful and cute magic girl.

After a casual dinner, Lloyd opened the "Book of Illusion" in his mind again, ready to think about the new knowledge he gained today.

As a result, before he had read it for a few minutes, Hiltina suddenly refreshed and wanted to be intimate with him.

There was no way, Lloyd had to put down the things in his hands and accompany his girlfriend.

The first half of the day back to the academy was wasted in such a muddle...

The next morning, Lloyd entered the [Thinking Field] as usual to complete the daily tasks, but because the time interval was too short, neither Hiltina nor the palace foundation responded.

He was too lazy to catch monsters to eat, so he just cleaned up casually, and then concentrated on polishing his [Trial of Illusion]

This tossing, another day was gone, except for a casual meal in the history department cafeteria at noon, basically he was busy studying.

I ate alone, without the lovely Metis.

In the end, I gained a lot, which greatly improved the current mature version of the trial. It can even be said to be a transformation!

Hmm... There should be no problem. Let's find someone to try it!

Lloyd nodded secretly, took out the instructor's manual, and turned on the group messaging function:

"Come and test it!"

……………………

"Ah! My favorite trial is finally open again. It was suspended for a long time before. I can't find a way to improve my ability. I feel so uncomfortable every day!"

"I heard that instructor Lloyd seems to have something in the real world? So he dealt with it outside for a few days. If it were switched to academy time, a month would have passed..."

"If this trial could run independently, I would definitely come to brush it every day!"

"Yes, yes, it would be great if it could be like this. After getting used to the attribute improvement brought by the trial, I feel no motivation to read books or practice by myself. It feels like a waste of time."

"Alas~ I can only say that this new version of the illusory trial created by instructor Lloyd is too powerful and too easy to use. The time when I participated in the test every day before was the time when I improved the fastest. We have been spoiled by Lecturer Lloyd for a while. Is there anything wrong with this? "

"What can be wrong? Are you questioning a recipient of the Outstanding Contribution Medal? Do you think he will harm us? "

"No, no, it's just that I am just like you, addicted to the comfort zone brought by the trial. "

"There is nothing wrong with this, right? Even Professor Deco likes this method very much. During the pause period, he was also very uncomfortable... Besides, we have to complete the trial well and get a higher evaluation to get the attribute reward, not something that can be obtained without effort. "

"That's true... What is Professor Deco talking about with Lecturer Lloyd? It feels like they have been talking for a while, and I am getting impatient. "

The testers summoned by Lloyd were talking at once, while Lloyd pulled Professor Deco from the History Department together, set up a soundproof barrier next to them, and whispered something.

"…………Anyway, that's it. If everything goes well in this test, you can come and do the test yourself even if I'm not in the academy. But after all, I'm not here, and I don't know if there will be any accidents, so I have to ask you to bear with me."

"Lloyd, you are so polite. I'm a little scared."

Professor Deco really showed a very terrified expression. He waved his hand quickly, and then patted his chest and said:

"But don't worry, I will definitely help you take care of them and won't let anyone mess around. As for security, if you don't mind, I would like to introduce a few friends to come here. They are all from the Mage Department and the Supernatural Department. They are better at resolving academic disputes than me."

He said this in a rather obscure way, but considering Mizzkatok's usual method of resolving academic disputes, it actually means that his friends are better at "doing it".

That's a good thing, Lloyd nodded immediately and said:

"Okay, no problem at all, it should be no problem to let more people participate, but for safety, you can't enter the trial alone, otherwise if you encounter any danger, it will be troublesome."

"Well, I understand, don't worry, I will keep a close eye on it."

"Okay, then let's leave it at that. I have another thing here. I wonder if you history department can help?"

Lloyd then turned to talking about exploring the deep ruins under the abandoned city.

Professor Deco listened patiently and nodded without hesitation.

"No problem at all, I will help you initiate an academic project in the department. A team should be able to come together soon, and if nothing unexpected happens, Fernande may be attracted here, right?"

"Well? I tried to contact him last night, but he didn't seem to have returned to the college yet?"

"Maybe he went out to mess around? He likes this."

Professor Deco smiled evilly and exposed his colleague's past without hesitation.

So, today's test started immediately under the organization of Professor Deco.

Lloyd did not do anything during the whole process, and let the trial run autonomously. He just opened a "small window" to see their progress and situation.

As a result, he found that Metis did not come today, because today's testers, regardless of gender, age or age, all wore shoes properly, and no one was barefoot...

It seems that she should have returned to the present world? No wonder there was no response to the group message before.

Lloyd simply guessed the reason, but did not care too much about the absence of one person.

Although Metis would be very serious in every test, and the feedback report she wrote afterwards was also very careful, and every time she came, she would deliberately not wear shoes, just a pair of delicate and small jade feet, but it was not a big problem. With the blessing of new functions brought by new knowledge, the trial ran very smoothly.

This so-called new function actually allows Lloyd to write a relatively intelligent automatic operation logic inside the trial, and then cooperate with the external robot sent by Professor Toledo to perform external hardware maintenance. The entire trial can be operated like the krypton gold mobile game on the earth, and Lloyd does not need to host it personally.

This is not the end. This is just one of the new functions. In addition to this, Lloyd has also found a new way to supply energy to maintain the high-intensity and continuous operation of the trial.

The energy consumed to maintain the trial before was all his own spiritual power. Although the consumption was not large, he could handle it without any pressure with his spiritual power level, but this was based on the premise that there were not many participants.

If this mode continues, when the number of trial participants increases to thousands or even tens of thousands, Lloyd will definitely not be able to bear it. This is also an important reason why he has not promoted the trial on a large scale.

At the moment, Lloyd, through yesterday's efforts, connected the trial with an "external power supply" with a complete set of complex ritual arrays, and completed the "hands-free" operation of the trial by consuming the "batteries" exchanged from the engineering department, which were some kind of external energy storage devices that provided energy for their equipment.

This step was actually not difficult, and it didn't even take Lloyd too much time to complete it. The "batteries" exchanged from the engineering department were mostly cheap items worth 1 or 2 credits, and one piece could last for a long time.

This is probably because the original intention of the design of this type of "battery" is to allow the user to maintain the continuous operation of various equipment on the body even in the dangerous situation of spiritual power exhaustion, hoping to help delay it for a long enough time so that the user's spiritual power can recover and survive the crisis.

Therefore, the capacity highlights a large amount of fullness, which is much more durable than the mobile phone battery on Earth.

However, this can only be a temporary solution. If we want to continue to promote [False Trial] in the future, we will definitely need more stable, larger, and cheaper energy. Otherwise, when the number of trial participants increases to 100,000 or even 1 million, the "battery" will definitely not be able to support it.

Fortunately, this stronger energy source is not a problem. Lloyd has a ready-made solution to refer to, that is, the Protector Saint.

It is definitely not Ai Luoluo, but 0-006.

This thing uses a lot of ancient energy technology, allowing it to continue to operate for thousands or even tens of thousands of years, and it is based on large-scale management of the entire city. It is already a very mature and powerful technology.

Coincidentally, Professor Toledo is also studying this, and after he comes up with the first-stage results, Lloyd will be able to find a way to reproduce it.

In this way, the autonomous operation problem is solved, the energy problem is also solved, and the last remaining new function is to be able to play more tricks in the trial.

So when today's testers entered the trial, they immediately discovered new changes.

"Huh? Didn't you enter the first scene directly? But there was an extra rest area?"

"Why is it so white with no decoration at all? Is it because I haven't had time to design the scene yet? It seems that I have to write my test report seriously today. I have studied interior design in the art department for so many years, and finally found a way to use it. Now that I’m ready for martial arts, I must prove my worth to Professor Lloyd!”

"It's not all white, right? Look over there, there seems to be a milky white ball of light?"

"It's true! But it matches the background color so well that I wouldn't even notice it if I didn't look carefully..."

Everyone quickly discovered something new in the scene, and then moved closer, and lines of subtitles popped up in front of their eyes.

It shows the record of each person completing the trial, how many times they got it, what kind of clearance evaluation, how many test reports were provided, what level of personnel they are, and how many points they have.

Because this is a new function that has just been launched, these data are all 0, and they are all ‘D-class personnel’. Everyone has to start from scratch.

Then, there is a long and densely packed function description that makes people dazzled.

The testers were able to read it patiently and then started to discuss it.

"It seems that these points are very important? You can get more rewards, unlock more trial scenes, and exchange them for equipment and props that can provide help."

"This is very tempting! I can't wait to experience it!"

"Look, there have been some changes in us. In the lower right corner of the retina, there is a small gear-like icon. If you look at it, you can open many function menus, including 'Equipment', 'Status', and 'Task List' Wait for options.”

"That's true. This is a bit similar to the ability of the [Intelligence] system, right? But it's much more fancy and interesting."

"These functions... I can understand the 'equipment' and 'status' among them, but what does 'drawing cards' mean? And what does 'I want to become stronger' mean? It's so special to use such bright colors. Mark it? It’s so red that it looks like it’s bleeding..."

"Oh...it turns out that this 'I want to become stronger' is to provide temporary attribute bonuses during the trial? That's fine, but why is it marked with such a striking color?"

"It turns out that this 'card draw' is used to redeem temporary equipment during the trial. What a pity. Why are all attributes and equipment temporary? They cannot be brought into the real world, and they will be canceled after leaving the trial?"

"What's such a pity? If you want to truly improve your strength, you have to complete the trial seriously and get a higher evaluation. Only in this way can you get real gains. Otherwise, do you think you can become stronger without doing anything? Do you think so? Isn’t it too beautiful?”

"That's right..."

After a heated discussion, Professor Deke raised his voice again and said hello:

"Okay, okay, if you've seen everything, let's start today's test as soon as possible. Do you see the extra 'preparation' option? Select that, and the portal to the trial scene will open. "

"Okay, okay! I'm ready! I hope I can meet that beautiful girl who changes color and doesn't wear shoes again this time, let's see how I teach her a lesson!"

"Don't... say goodbye, right? If we meet her, we'll probably all have the lowest rating again..."

"What are you afraid of? To be honest, during the period when the trial was suspended, I was not idle. I went and bought a lot of love magazines. I have memorized the routines and procedures in them. You will see how I handle her later. That’s it.”

"Uh... your ideas are really broad..."

"Are you all ready? Who hasn't clicked 'prepare' yet?"

In this way, everyone was noisy until a portal appeared in the scene, and then today's test officially started.

Unfortunately, they were not very lucky today. In the first scene, they did not meet the beautiful girl who could change color and wear no shoes. Instead, they came to the new scene created by Lloyd just yesterday.
