The Reborn of Cyberworld

Chapter 40 Apprentice Assessment (seeking further reading)

After Su Fan walked into the door of the bell tower, his vision became dim. In front of him was a spiraling staircase.

At different stages of the steps, there are long corridors extending out, leading to various spaces in the bell tower.

There are a large number of oil paintings hanging on both sides in front of the entrance of the steps. The most eye-catching is a portrait of a brown-haired man in a brass-colored military uniform with perseverance on his sideburns. He is the founder of the Iris Club and canonized by Grand Duke Hei Yan.

Count of Reims.

The bright red carpet is laid on the white tiles, and the room is filled with the fragrance of flowers, making it look extremely peaceful.

A waiter in black clothes came forward, bowed to him and said:

"Sir, please explain your purpose of coming."

"I'm here to pursue the glory of history and find the buried truth."

Su Fan did not hesitate and said the contact code of the 'Golden Song' organization. This was the secret message left to him by Sophia.

At the same time, Su Fan also took out the iron badge and handed it to the black server.

"It turns out to be the respected master."

The face of the waiter in black changed slightly, and he recognized Su Fan's badge, which was the identity of the apprentice of the 'Golden Song'.

As a secret organization that spans several divine realms, Golden Song naturally has unimaginable power and power, and has branches in various regions.

The Iris Club in front of me is a peripheral organization that serves the 'Golden Song'. It can be understood as the relationship between knights and retinues.

——That is, the relationship between master and servant.

Even if Su Fan is just an apprentice in the 'Golden Song', he is also the master of the Iris Club.

"Master, please follow me."

The waiter in black bowed and bowed, then turned and walked towards the steps.

Su Fan followed him, and the two of them climbed up the stairs to the golden door on the top floor.

The waiter in black came forward and knocked a few times, and a hidden grid was recessed in the door, revealing his scrutinizing eyes. The next moment, the other party handed out a pure white mask from the hidden grid, with a golden symbol between the eyebrows.

It is the symbol of the golden song.

"Master, please bring it to the party again."

The waiter in black clothes came back with a mask and explained to him.

Su Fan reached for the mask and put it on his face. The next moment, a prompt sounded in his ears——

[Tip: You are wearing a special item, the Golden Secret Face, which automatically activates the 'Secret Face' effect, which can block the perception of characters below the third level, and the other party cannot see your true appearance. Note: plot characters above the third level, automatically

Immunity effect.】

Sure enough, the members of Golden Song kept their identities secret from each other. Su Fan touched the mask on his face and murmured in his heart.

Except for the secret teacher Sophia who guided him to join the guild, no one else will know Su Fan's identity. Similarly, Su Fan cannot know their identities. They are strangers who hide from each other.

in other words.

Even if Su Fan attended the party, he would not know that the aborigines in Wansha City were members of the Golden Song. Their privacy was protected to the greatest extent and everyone's identity was ensured not to be revealed.

Very thoughtful approach.

The only flaw is that this mask is only for level three and below.

If it were Sophia, as she had been promoted to Vault Master, she could completely bypass the effect of the mask and directly see the true appearance of others.

However, it is difficult for a Vault Master who has entered the third level, let alone the 'Golden Song' branch, to meet such a character easily even in the Vault Headquarters established in Asgard. Therefore, the Golden Secret Face is invalid.

The possibility is still very low.

After putting on the mask, Su Fan entered the party behind the golden door under the guidance of the black-clad waiter.

[Tip: You have entered the hidden map - Song of Gold/Wansha City·Branch. This map is in the 'plot exploration' mode.]

[Tip: Each time the identity of a member is revealed, you can get an exploration reward. When the exploration reaches more than 30%, the plot event (unique) of this map will be triggered. When the exploration reaches more than 70%, you can get an exclusive title.

】

Su Fan glanced at the panel and was secretly stunned. There were not only hidden maps here, but also plot events and exclusive title rewards.

It is indeed a branch of Golden Song.

In terms of progress, Su Fan is probably the first player to step into this place.

After all, no one can hook up with a Vault Master like him in the early stages of the game.

You know, the Vault Master is a third-level powerhouse.

You must be at least Lv. 50 in strength to be eligible to contact them. Su Fan was completely cunning and formed a friendship with Sophia before she was promoted. Just saying this is enough to make even the richest guilds explode with envy.

However, Su Fan was not in a hurry to explore. After all, in the eyes of other members, spying on their identities was a taboo act.

With a scrutinizing attitude, Su Fan scanned the party hall. It was similar to a bar, but quieter than a bar.

One by one, members of Golden Song were sitting and drinking.

Chat with people around you about information from time to time, or have a drink alone.

If there is someone drinking alone, you can come up and have a chat, which may trigger a commission or even a plot mission.

Su Fan ignored them and walked directly to the bar. He introduced himself to the cat-eared lady who was also wearing a mask:

"The newly-joined Vault Apprentice is here to report."

"Hey, he's actually a newcomer." Miss Cat-Ears looked at the name on the badge. The next moment, she couldn't help but exclaimed: "The introducer, Sophia Aynlis. Wait, wait a minute! Could it be the newly promoted Vault Master?

,Ms. Sophia?!"

Because the Golden Secret Face was half a face, Su Fan could see her mouth wide open and looked extremely surprised.

"Yes, my secret tutor is Sophia."

Su Fan nodded, thinking that Sophia's movements were really fast. No wonder when she returned to the headquarters, the whole country knew that she had been promoted.

"Excuse me, Mr. Viewer. You can call me 'cat ears'."

Miss Cat-Ear bowed and then asked:

"According to the rules of the organization, you are eligible to receive a secret apprentice robe."

"But Golden Song advocates the principle of equal exchange. If you want to get the apprentice robe, you still need to complete a commission."

After saying that, Miss Mao Er added:

"Of course, these commissions are only for apprentices, and they are listed on the reward board——"

A reward board was placed in front of him by Miss Cat-Ears, which listed the apprentice-level reward events: [Mystery of the Grotto Opera House], [Southern Train Murder Case], [The Identity of the Liquor Thief], [Secret Room Burglary Case]

].

These names look very decrypted.

That's right, as a secret organization that explores ancient truths, Golden Song's assessment of members often focuses on the level of 'revealing secrets', which tests members' observation skills and IQ. If they accept a commission, decryption tasks will often be triggered.

In the world of Old Gods, there are various types of tasks, not just ‘battle’ types.

There are also special types such as decryption, role-playing, and quizzes.

Right now, Su Fan has to face decryption-type commissions, and based on his rebirth experience, the simplest of the above-mentioned commissions should be [Secret Room Burglary Case]. As long as the perpetrator is found, the commission can be completed.

The most difficult commission was [the identity of the alcohol thief]. Until he was reborn, this commission remained an unsolved mystery.

No one has completed it yet.

"The reward for the apprentice robe is fixed, but the commission I choose is very particular. The higher the difficulty, the more extra rewards I will get."

Su Fan thought for a while and was about to choose the second level of difficulty [Mystery of the Grotto Opera House]. Suddenly, Miss Mao Er stepped forward and pulled back the reward board, leaving only [The Identity of the Wine Thief].

】Reward page.

"As an apprentice recommended by the Vault Master, there is an unwritten rule——"

"It must be the most difficult bounty commission."

Facing Su Fan's surprised look, Miss Mao Er shrugged and said helplessly:

"Mr. Viewer, this is your commission."

"Please find out the identity of the 'wine thief' in the party hall."
