I upgraded and added points in the Holy Inquisition

"No... don't come over!"

Evelor shouted in a fierce voice, and fired randomly with the weapon in her hand, which was about as powerful as a pistol, without even aiming.

then……

"Huh? Why are all the monsters gone?"

As she was wondering about this, a flying monster suddenly attacked her from behind.

"careful!"

Wei Ya hurriedly reminded her, but it was too late.

The monster, which was as big as three or five adults, rammed into Evelor's disproportionately small body.

then……

The monster just disappeared?

"Huh? What's going on?"

Evelor tilted her head, not quite understanding the current situation.

But she didn't have time to think about it, as more monsters came rushing up.

"Let's go this way!"

Although Weiya was a civilian judge, her practical experience was somewhat better than that of Evelor. She immediately found a passage on the city wall that had been completely covered by monsters and prepared to break out from there.

Because the gun in her hand was very strange and had a very short range, it was completely useless, so she simply threw it away, then picked up an ordinary long sword at her feet and used it to clear a way ahead.

Those monsters that dared to block her way, no matter their size or danger level, were all chopped into pieces by her sword. It was not just a one-shot cut, but they were directly shattered into debris on the ground.

Even Wei Ya was a little surprised.

Eh? When did my swordsmanship become so good?

It was the first time she felt the value of 300 critical damage.

But this is still not as good as Evelor.

Seeing several more monsters rushing up from behind, Everole fired a few shots and those monsters disappeared without a trace like scratches erased by an eraser.

I...seem pretty awesome?

No, is it this cute Xiao Yi next to me who is really awesome?

Evelor gradually realized the crux of the problem.

The attribute interface shows only 1000 points of critical damage, so it should be very powerful, right?

But every time he fired a gun, the cute little Yi puppet floating beside him would wave his furry, short arms.

And then the monster was reduced to ashes?

You don't even need to do anything specific yourself, as long as the monster gets close enough, the cute puppet will wave its arms.

And then the monster was reduced to ashes?

As for when he was attacked by monsters and it looked like he was about to be pounced on, the cute puppet would always stand in front of him in time.

And then the monsters were reduced to ashes again?

In addition, every time I pulled the trigger and shot, I could feel a force flowing from the cute doll to myself, as if it was giving me some kind of enhanced attribute?

So the next time Everole shot to clear the monsters, he was more careful and paid special attention to his attribute panel.

She saw that her critical damage suddenly increased from 1000 to 3000...

So... my eternal Xiao Yi can automatically help me attack and defend, and can also make me three times stronger?

With Xiao Yi by my side, I have three times the power?

Evelor was lost in her thoughts and forgot that she was in a tense and exciting battlefield. Instead, she felt sweet in her heart.

He was still trying hard with his short legs to keep up with Wei Ya's pace, watching her waving a long knife in front of him and cutting a bloody path.

Unfortunately, there were too many monsters, and Weiya’s extra attributes were not high enough. After chopping dozens of monsters, the long sword inevitably broke, and her own strength was exhausted.

"Huh... is it going to fail?"

Wei Ya was breathing heavily.

"It's okay Miss Wei Ya, leave the rest to me."

Evelor said this and raised the gun in his hand again.

As a result, this time when she pulled the trigger, there was no sharp gunshot, but a series of "bang, bang, bang, bang" sounds?

Then the vision in front of my eyes turned blue, and when it recovered, I had arrived at a beautiful yet slightly weird place.

This is the rest area at the end of the first act...

Uh… it’s an error? Is the value too high?

Lloyd was a little embarrassed when he saw this strange scene. He quickly operated manually, settled the trial rewards for his sister and girlfriend, and then sent them back to the rest area.

Several investigators who had been eliminated before had arrived here in advance. They seemed to be intact and were discussing the previous battle situation.

After noticing the confused Everole and Weiya appear, they asked in surprise:

"Huh? You actually managed to hold out for this long? It seems like we really underestimated the fighting power of the two ladies?"

Unlike the mode in the academy where one can still watch after being eliminated, because it involves Everole and Via, Lloyd made a slight optimization, allowing others to go directly to the rest area after being eliminated.

Otherwise, it would be hard to explain to others if I fired a shot into the sky and the monsters behind me died...

"So, what kind of evaluation did the two ladies get? Can you tell us?"

Old York asked again.

"Of course, Grandpa York, I got a C rating, a 5-point increase in spiritual power, some points, and a slight level increase that I don't quite understand yet."

Wei Ya answered truthfully, but did not elaborate on how many points she had.

Evelor also said:

"I have the same evaluation as Miss Wei Ya, but the main reward I received is 5 points of rationality."

Both of their answers were somewhat evasive, but the others didn't think much of it. They were still too focused on this absolutely novel experience and were busy sharing what they had gained from the trip.

All of them only received ratings of D to D+, with attribute rewards ranging from 2 to 3 points, plus an additional 20 to 30 points.

This harvest seems a bit shabby, but they are already very satisfied. After all, if you want to earn these attributes outside, it takes a long time and hard work, which is definitely not as easy and efficient as here.

As for the rewards obtained by Everole and Viya, they seemed a little too little, making it seem that Lloyd was not very generous?

But this is actually really unfair to him, because how much reward he can get in the end is not entirely decided by him.

The rewards obtained by the testers are essentially based on the original functions of "Book of Evil", and its core principle is a bit like "enhanced training effect".

So in the original version of [Trial of Illusion] that Lloyd had experienced, the higher the difficulty, the longer you stay, the more monsters you kill, and the more rewards you get.

Now, although he has simplified the process and lowered the difficulty and entry threshold, he has also correspondingly lowered the rewards.

By the way, a more intuitive evaluation system was added to make it easier for others to check their specific performance, but the basic principles of the trial itself cannot be touched rashly. There is no way to give my sister thousands of attribute points in one go.

He also thought about whether he could give his sister some cheat-level magic equipment so that she could kill more monsters, stay longer, and get more rewards.

This is also the second test content scheduled at the beginning of the trial.

The final result can only be said to be half successful, right?

My sister did get a higher rating and reward by staying longer, but the part about using the cheating equipment to kill monsters was not calculated correctly.

There was even a hilarious error in the end, which caused them to withdraw from the trial early.

Tsk~ Why do I feel like the previous dean had anticipated this little trick of mine tens of thousands of years in advance?

So Lloyd also realized that even if he didn't come up with any fancy whistle evaluation system, equipment system, or optimize the character image and scene art, it would not affect the rewards that testers could get.

But if that happens, the trial will become very dull and boring, and the experience will be like going to work.

At the same time, it is also not conducive to Lloyd's exploration of the mysteries of the [illusion] system and mastering the power of the [illusion] system.

It might even affect the effect of 'changing reality with illusion' -

When his sister and the others finished the first stage of the trial, Lloyd also sensed the faint fluctuation, which flowed from the ritual array in front of him into the "Book of Falsehood" in his mind, and then floated to the "Abyss Area" in the distance.

And the speed was extremely fast, just like raindrops falling from the sky, splashing ripples in the 'abyss'.

Because there was no alien space and time disorder zone blocking the academy, Lloyd could witness the entire process more clearly and intuitively.

Can you feel that the fluctuation and impact caused by this "raindrop" seems to be slightly stronger than the one flowing out of the academy?

Is it because of the distance? Or is it that my sister and Wei Ya killed more monsters?

It could even be because this scene is more refined and authentic than the one in the academy?

Lloyd tried to speculate the reason, but at the moment the information was insufficient and he could not come to a definitive conclusion.

But no matter what, of the four test goals he set when he started this trial, he successfully completed two and was halfway to success in two more.

The first and third projects were very successful. The [Trial of Illusion] could run very well in the real world, and it could also emit the power of [Illusion] to influence the 'abyss' of the past.

The second and fourth ones were only half successful, the sisters did get a little more rewards, but not as much as Lloyd had expected;

Eloro, who was far away in the City of Joy, also successfully joined the trial, but was soon disconnected...

So... there is still a lot of content that needs to be optimized and adjusted, and we have to keep working hard.

Lloyd summarized today's situation in his mind while taking a look at the situation in the trial.

At this time, Everole and the others had already started the second scene and came to the classic question-and-answer area.

Everole was sitting obediently in front of a golden fat man, listening to the loud voice from the opposite side asking:

"Why do birds fly?"

"Eh? This...if a bird can't fly, won't it become a chicken?"

"Deserved punishment!"

"Oh oh oh oh! Oh..."

Evelor's eyes were filled with tears due to the pain. She was immediately knocked into a defensive position with her head in her hands. She was wondering why the cute Xiao Yi didn't protect her this time?

Right next door to him, a young investigator was also dealing with all kinds of nonsensical problems.

“Why are pigeons so big?”

"Ah? What are you talking about? There are no pigeons. Are you trying to make trouble?"

"Deserved punishment!"

"Oh my god! It hurts so much!"

Even Old York was not immune.

"If you press a button, you can sacrifice one person and save 10 people. If you don't press it, those 10 people will die tragically. What choice will you make?"

"I'm already at level eight, and I can't save both sides? Then what kind of extraordinary person am I?"
