I upgraded and added points in the Holy Inquisition

Isn’t it okay if it’s not the first time I lose?

Lloyd couldn't help but cursed in his heart.

Although the butler described this 'price' in an understatement and advised himself not to be nervous, the actual loss might not be as easy as he made it appear, right? After all, this is a ceremony for promotion from the seventh level to the eighth level.

He continued to ask:

"So what I have to do is, as a 'reader,' try my best to decipher the [story] of the other two strong men and find their loopholes so that you can finally win?"

"Yes, although it is not easy, I believe you can do it. You are a child who never disappoints."

The butler nodded.

Lloyd thought about it again and realized the importance of his 'reader' in this ceremony. He also immediately understood why the butler had taken a fancy to his little shrimp two months ago and wanted to make money for him.

I did successfully crack one of his [stories] at that time, showing my strength in this area.

And compared to strength, ‘trust’ may be more important.

In a game like theirs, if the 'reader' you find is unreliable, a cheating insider, deliberately acting or making things worse, all your efforts will be wasted.

And it was precisely because of his relationship with his sister and Miss Desda that the housekeeper could trust him, or in other words, he believed that he would not betray him.

Of course, Lloyd would not have such thoughts. He and his sister had received a lot of care from the housekeeper and Miss Desda, and they would definitely do their best to help the housekeeper win this important ceremony.

What's more, when the butler successfully completes [Transcendence], he will have an eighth-level thick leg around him to hug.

But at the same time, Lloyd also had to consider the worst outcome, so he tentatively asked:

"Well... how long will it take for a strong person like you to prepare for such a [transcendence]?"

He didn't even dare to ask how much money and resources it would cost, fearing that the pressure would be too much and his performance would be abnormal.

"It's not too long."

replied the butler.

Lloyd immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

But immediately I heard the butler add:

"The eighth [Transcendence] of the [Embodiment] system is special, but compared to other systems, the cost is not too high. This attempt took me more than 20 years to prepare. .”

"Huh??? How much???"

"Sigh... That's why I didn't plan to tell you this originally, just because I was afraid of burdening you."

"No, then what if I lose..."

The housekeeper smiled nonchalantly and replied lightly:

"Then I won't blame you. After all, this is not your responsibility alone. It's also because my [story] is not complete and true enough. At worst, it will take another twenty years to continue to modify it. For me, It’s nothing, so don’t put too much pressure on yourself.”

"Even if you say that...well, what about the strength of my two opponents?"

Lloyd asked again.

"Of course they are all young and promising young talents like you. One is a fourth-level investigator of the [Law and Order] system; the other is a fourth-level scholar of the [Intellectual] system."

"Huh? But I'm the second level?"

Lloyd held up two fingers.

"Rank is not important. In our [story], there is no essential difference between second-level and fourth-level. What will be truly tested is your mind, mentality, rationality, cognition, and even experience. .”

The housekeeper said, smiled again, and encouraged:

"What's more, those two young people are not as dazzling as you. At such a young age, they can be recognized and appreciated by Lord Tiltus, Lord Demani, and even Master Elfredi, so at this moment I feel It should be the two of them who are nervous;

And I am quite confident in my [story] and will not lose to those two guys. "

It can only be said that although the butler is older and much calmer than he is in the notes, the temperament and figure of that young, frivolous and high-spirited young man can still be seen in him.

Lloyd was also infected by his confidence and nodded vigorously.

Then, the housekeeper began to teach Lloyd some knowledge about the [Realization] system, especially in terms of targeting and deciphering the [Story].

Of course, Lloyd was listening attentively, and while his mind was constantly remembering, he was also constantly thinking and recalling.

emmmmmmm, why are these things taught by the housekeeper so inconsistent with what I got from analyzing the unknown fragments?

The [Embodiment] knowledge he obtained from analyzing the fragments before was very basic. He simply explained some principles of [Embodiment] and how to cultivate your own [Embodiment], which is [Projection]; and There is an aspect of how to interfere with other people’s ability to manifest.

The basic principles are pretty much the same as the butler's description. There are only some differences in details and understanding. This is probably because the butler, as a high-ranking person, has his own unique insights into the basic principles.

As for [Projection], it doesn't involve today's theme [Story], so the housekeeper didn't mention it.

But in the end, there are obvious differences between the two descriptions of how to interfere with this aspect.

To put it simply, the housekeeper's method is to deeply experience the content of the [story], find out what kind of 'position' you are in, and use this as a starting point to speculate on your [trajectory] in the [story] and what you may encounter. [Plot], and then discovered the flaws.

To give a specific example, it's like Lloyd became a high school student in [Story], sitting in the second-to-last row by the window. His deskmate was a beautiful girl with long black hair, who looked very cold, and was very good at music. Able to use various musical instruments.

Taking this as a starting point, if the next [plot] is that Lloyd meets another beautiful girl, and then takes her at the same table to form a band, and there will be a love-hate entanglement...

In the end, because he wanted to ride on two boats, one of the beautiful girls chopped off his head with a hatchet and died in the [story]. This [plot] is very reasonable and almost impossible to decipher.

Because the logic is reasonable, the motivation is reasonable, the contradiction is reasonable, and the development is reasonable.

And if the [plot] is changed to the school being suddenly attacked by a giant monster, I inexplicably become the driver of a giant robot, and then while driving the giant robot, I have a crush on a beautiful girl who looks like my mother...

In the end, because she was distracted by the battle, the beautiful girl was caught and eaten by a giant monster. She was so grief-stricken that she committed suicide on the spot. This [plot] is also reasonable.

Although it is unbelievable that super giant monsters and super giant robots suddenly appear in the school, as long as the [story] itself can justify itself and there is no problem with the logical development, it is still reasonable. Although there are loopholes, it is still difficult to find and crack .

So what is unreasonable?

Probably at the same beginning, I became a ninja inexplicably, and my father was a seductress with a similar black and white nature. Then suddenly one day, my village was attacked by a big bad guy, and I went there as the strongest young man in the village. To meet...

The two sides originally summoned their own substitute messengers to fight with each other in a battle of wits and courage, and the fight was inextricable. However, he suddenly fell into a trance, and a revolving door of life appeared in front of his eyes. When he came back to his senses, he had been chopped into two pieces at the waist, and his mouth was Shang was still saying stupid things that did not please his opponent.

This is a [story] full of errors and omissions that can be easily cracked, because there are too many flaws. Not only are the background settings and power settings chaotic and disorderly, but the plot development is also illogical, and the final ending is even more brainless. So as long as an ordinary person with normal logical thinking can easily escape this kind of clumsy [story]

"Although it sounds simple, the great thing about [the story] is that once you enter it, your thinking will be disturbed and you will automatically become the 'character' we designed for you, and your behavior will follow our design The 'plot' unfolds...

Therefore, even if the [story] is full of errors and omissions, it is difficult to wake up in time, because it is often difficult for people to accurately understand themselves, let alone when their thinking consciousness is disturbed...

However, [Story] cannot read your thoughts and memories, the 'role' we set for you may not perfectly fit your heart, and the 'world' we designed may not match your understanding and understanding of the world. Cognition...

So it is still possible for you to realize that this 'character' is not yourself, and this 'world' is not real. This is the key to cracking the [story]. "

After the butler summarized it, he concluded:

"Under our game rules, the [story] we prepare for you is extremely tempting. You will often be a perfect 'perfect' character, with the 'image' that everyone wants to be. Very Maybe even if you realize something is wrong, you will become addicted to it and find it difficult to extricate yourself...

“So, you must think clearly and always remember who ‘you’ really are.”

This is probably the butler's thinking and experience. Anyway, he has to discover and crack these obviously unreasonable loopholes to crack the entire [story], and the process is full of troublesome things such as philosophical speculation and self-awareness. In fact, It's quite a troublesome way.

Looking back at the knowledge recorded in that unknown fragment, a simple summary is as follows:

Not happy with a certain villain? Fucked him!

Not happy with an organization? Fuck him!

Not happy with a strong person? Fight him!

And some tips for maintaining self-awareness:

What is your status that allows you to sit in this position?

What kind of body shape can you hold in your arms with so many beautiful girls?

What kind of net worth do you have that allows you to spend money like this?

Anyway, after realizing that I might enter the [story], I repeatedly asked these three questions to keep myself awake...
