I upgrade points in the Holy Inquisition

Chapter 229 228. Long-term planning

"......So, to sum up, although the experimental results related to 0-266 have been unexpected and have entered a completely uncontrollable state, judging from the current status of 0-226, the overall situation is still Tends to be optimistic."

"Second! After all, she did not abandon her mission and chose to return to the City of Joy, which makes me quite gratified."

"But... even compared to our saints, she is currently too weak to fully assume the functions of a saint, let alone compare with other saints."

"Yes, and because of the failure of the experiment, we have completely lost control of her. We can only wait patiently for her to continue to grow."

"Be optimistic. There is actually nothing wrong with this. Why not treat her as a talented girl with good talents? Her future achievements may exceed your imagination?"

"I think so too. In fact, I was opposed to those experiments from the beginning. They were too eager for quick success and quick success. Letting her grow naturally is a more prudent choice."

"Having said that, our city, our saints, and our [sanctuary] are still too weak... Even with the awakening and return of 0-266, I still don't think we can succeed in this great development. occupy a dominant position.”

"Oh, there's nothing wrong with being weak. You have to think on the optimistic side. If something really big comes out, it will be the superior people in Brilliant City who will charge into battle, not us. Many times, the weak There is also a small comfort.”

"I partly agree with your view. However, we had high hopes for 0-266 at the beginning. We even believed that she could point out a new path and future for all mankind, so that mankind can truly control the power of the saint. This Only then did we take those urgent measures, but now..."

"This is indeed regrettable, but no matter what, her return is always better than completely out of control... We might as well be more patient with her, guide and train her carefully, maybe she will show an astonishing growth rate? Like The same as the 'bright star' in the mouth of the upper class."

"Uh... You mean the young man named... Rodel in the Brilliant Order? Or Royode? I have indeed heard his name a few times recently."

"My name is Lloyd... Anyway, maybe our 0-266 can be as good and talented as him. After all, she is not a naturally occurring human being, but a precious legacy from the previous generation."

"Yes, I am more optimistic about 0-266's talent. That Lloyd you are talking about is still a human being after all, but our Elolo can surpass humans!"

"Well said! You may wish to wait and see. I believe that within a few years, our Elolo will eclipse that 'bright star'!"

"Well...it's not that I want to be pessimistic, but as far as I know, the young man named Lloyd, and even the old scholar over in the Quiet City, Elfredi, are full of praise for him and think that he has shown He has the potential to be a saint.”

"Doesn't that just mean that our 0-266 is better? She can be a saint now, but our system and resources cannot compare with those bright superiors, and we cannot give her the same growth environment. , but the efficiency of 0-266 in receiving knowledge is far better than that of humans, and it is also very safe.”

"Yes, I have seen a lot of human geniuses over the years, but there are a few that can persist in the end. After all, the better a person is, the easier it is to attract some weird things. Our 0-266 doesn’t have such troubles.”

"This statement made some sense in the past, but don't forget how 0-266 escaped."

"Ah this..."

"Speaking of which... the current preliminary investigation results indicate that she should have received help from a mysterious existence, and then went to the Brilliant City through the channel of 'Dream Theater', but the investigation has not been carried out for the time being, and we don't know what it was like yet. The mysterious existence helped her, but she refused to reveal it. Should we go deeper? "

"Okay, you can go. Anyway, I won't go. I live happily every day, my family is harmonious and happy, and there is nothing I can't think about."

"Why do you talk like that?"

"Isn't it true? If you have to get to the bottom of everything, why don't you go to the Brilliant City and become a high-ranking person?"

"Okay, okay, don't make any noise. Considering our weakness, we should not rush into follow-up investigations. If we provoke any big guys, I don't think those superior people will come to save us."

"That's right. If it weren't for the help of the Veto Saint this time, we wouldn't even be able to recover 0-266, so don't consider more dangerous moves. Don't forget the purpose of our religious order."

"Don't think too much, don't ask too many questions, enjoy the moment and be happy in the moment."

With everyone present chanting in unison, the formal discussion part of the meeting came to an end, bringing the event to a satisfactory conclusion.

The topics at the scene also turned into romantic topics such as 'Where to go drinking at night', 'A certain play that is popular nowadays', 'The newly opened restaurant tastes great'.

This may be the overall atmosphere of the City of Joy.

Because we are weak, we choose to live in the present.

After this accident, for a long time, I will not consider the previous experiments and explorations that may change the future of mankind.

As for the spiked shield hanging on the wall, even if the pattern on the surface looks like a human face, it will not make any sound. It still keeps its head down quietly, silently watching the increasingly joyful and relaxed atmosphere on the conference table.

……………………

Lloyd admired the beauty of Eloro while she was sleeping, while helping her share the mental pollution, and thinking about all kinds of things in his mind. It was not until half an hour later that his consciousness returned to his bedroom, and then he fell asleep drowsily.

When I got up the next morning, the first thing I did was to add some points.

5 points of [Spiritual Power], add it.

[Ding~ Adding points completed]

[User: Lloyd]

[Status: Normal]

[Madness: 53/8500, Upper limit: 17500]

[Rationality: 175]

[Spiritual power: 175]

[Inspiration: 100]

[Cognition: 170]

[System: Distortion LV3, Denial LV2]

With the end of the 'Double Experience' event, he only leveled up last night...

But if you think optimistically, it's not bad to level up every night in the future.

Lloyd jumped out of bed and started morning exercises with the kitten, then combed his sister's hair, hugged her, said goodbye, and rushed to District 18 to make a small contribution to the anti-monster cause.

He returned to the peaceful life that followed the routine.

Next, it was time to borrow the bell from Metis...

Lloyd changed out of his white coat while thinking about the next upgrade.

All of this was thought out last night. His primary goal right now is to complete the third, or fourth, [Transcendence] and meet the requirements to go to Mitzkatok University as soon as possible.

In the process, he has to find a way to get some money and prepare the materials for [Transcendence].

The third level of the [Veto] system requires two core materials, called ‘Surging Spiritual Power’ and ‘Stone of Witness’

The former is used to mix potions and spiritual ink; the latter is the core of the ritual.

Lloyd hasn’t checked the market price of these two materials yet, but it must be several million, so even if he has just received a bounty of several million, he will probably have to spend it immediately, which may not be enough.

If he goes to the ‘Dream Theater’ to exchange, it only takes 280 points. Maybe it will increase a little in the next two days? But with Lloyd’s current ability to earn points, it is not difficult.

However, he plans to spend the points on more important things, exchanging for things that cannot be obtained outside, such as ‘forbidden knowledge’ and materials for the [distortion] system.

Especially in the aspect of forbidden knowledge, although he gained a lot in the previous "double experience" event, Lloyd still vaguely felt that he was still some distance away from the fourth "transcendence" of the "distortion" system, and the forbidden knowledge was still a little insufficient.

For such hot stuff, it is better to go through the "Dream Theater" channel. Things needed by the formal system are better to be solved with open money.

Although Lloyd can always stay in the "Dream Theater" and earn points to exchange for all he needs at his current rate of earning points, he is always worried and afraid of it and dare not indulge in it deeply.

It is better to be more careful about this seemingly free shortcut.

As for the fourth "transcendence", of course, it is better to use a more conservative and safe way to distort the "transcendence" effect of the "veto" system.

By the way, I can also use the bottle of "Fine Wine that Induces Madness" that I saved last time, otherwise it will expire soon.

If you don't choose this method, but take the orthodox path, you need to find a living demon, and then soak in its active brain for three days, absorb various substances in it with your body, and finally expel them from your body with the power of [distortion].

Let alone the risks and difficulties, the process alone is disgusting enough, and it is not prepared for humans at all.

As for the fifth [transcendence] process later, it is even more unnecessary to mention that it requires a bottle of elixir with unknown ingredients and functions to be prepared with all kinds of messy things. After taking it, it is then [distorted] to fuse more than ten high-risk monster organs into your body.

And the danger level of these monsters cannot be lower than 7.

If you can still survive like this, you don't know what kind of monster you will become, anyway, it will definitely have little to do with humans...

So no matter how you look at it, this so-called "orthodox path" is not arranged for humans.
