I upgraded and added points in the Holy Inquisition

That night, Lloyd spent a lot of time and effort, but he finally managed to coax Hiltina into submission.

Fortunately, during the past six months of free time, I didn't find a place to fish, but learned a lot of bad men's words on the message board through the "Professor's Manual"...

Of course, there is no way to go back to the new home at night, and there is no way to fulfill Viya’s wish of having a baby.

And he was bitten badly by Hiltina...

Not only the shoulders, arms, and other common places, but even...

Lloyd didn't expect that Hiltina could do this. He wondered if she learned it from Weiya?

In short, this grand narrative of the future of the world and the fate of mankind overcame her possessiveness of Lloyd, allowing Lloyd to escape again.

Things in this world came to an end. The next step was to wait for the alumni association's workshop to start mass production of mobile phones. Lloyd returned to the academy and prepared to enter the "retreat" mode.

During this 'retreat', he set two small goals for himself.

One is to perfect [Trial of Illusion] to the final version and start promoting it on a large scale.

The second is to complete the eighth [Transcendence] and prepare for the final step.

If there is still time, go and complete the third goal and kill all the priests of the ancient survivors.

Just like that, as soon as Lloyd returned to the academy, he asked Little Cat to clean the dormitory, while he hurried back to the [Thinking Realm] and began to [audience with the Saint].

At this stage, [audience with the Saint] is very different from before.

Although there is no need for any equipment or rituals to assist, one can freely enter that state of 'selflessness'.

However, the efficiency of acquiring knowledge is much lower than before.

Even though the 'rational' Hiltina sensed his arrival and was already giving him some special lessons, the amount of knowledge involved, the complexity of that knowledge, and the difficulty of understanding increased exponentially.

Even though Lloyd's cognitive level was already higher than that of an ordinary eighth-level warrior, his 10000 points of [Cognition] were much higher than the average level of the eighth level, and it was very difficult for him to learn.

It can only be said that at this level of knowledge, relying solely on attributes and levels is no longer enough, and you must spend time to slowly hone it.

After all, for a normal seventh-order transcendent, leaving aside the complicated and troublesome transcendence ritual, just to complete the necessary knowledge reserves, it takes a long time to slowly endure, and the time consumed is measured in hundreds of years.

For example, the eighth-level strongmen that Lloyd had come into contact with in the present world were all old men who had lived for who knows how many years.

In other words, the strong ones in the academy are better, with a ten times time speed difference as a cover, and their age in the real world does not look that old.

In short, Lloyd felt that the difficulty of this step was roughly equivalent to the sum of the previous seven steps and multiplying it by the square?

By analogy, the last step left might require multiplication by a cube?

Lloyd only hated that he had mastered so many skills but did not have any [Knowledge Control] or [Learning Control].

It would be much more comfortable if I could have a [Domination] skill like the Space Department.

Obviously, the difficulty of space knowledge is even higher than that of the extraordinary system. It is a level that can make the real elites of Mizkatok cry for their parents.

But Lloyd relied on the effect of [Space Control] that made it easier to understand and perceive the concept and mystery of 'space', and learned it very easily.

And even though I have come this far, I have not been able to master other [Domination] type skills, which means that this ability is really rare. Maybe it is the only one?

But no matter what, Lloyd's current situation is still much better than that of ordinary supernatural beings.

At least he doesn't have to worry about the source of knowledge.

[Veto] The department has special tutoring from Hiltina, so it's relatively better. The amount of knowledge is definitely enough, but it just takes time to slowly absorb and digest it.

Not to mention the [Distortion] system, it is your own, you just need to understand and remember it again.

If it were an ordinary extraordinary person, it would be difficult just to acquire this knowledge, not to mention the subsequent understanding.

The taboo system without a saint presiding over it is even worse. Not only is it like looking for a needle in a haystack to acquire some knowledge, but also picking out those few valid fragments from a pile of useless knowledge, and one also has to face the invasion of spiritual pollution at all times.

All I can say is that it’s not easy for every eighth-level strongman.

In this way, Lloyd studied attentively in the [Field of Thinking] for a whole day, until he felt something soft and smooth touching his cheek gently, and then he slowly woke up.

Then I heard another lovely cry:

"Huh? Did I wake you up?"

When Lloyd opened his eyes, he saw a beautiful and cute Metis cat in front of him. She had somehow managed to get into his dormitory and looked nervous and embarrassed, like a kitten that had been caught doing something bad.

She was still wearing that slightly rustic and conservative long skirt, but she seemed to be deliberately not wearing shoes, revealing a pair of white jade feet, which looked particularly delicate.

"I... I have a new feedback report to give you, but I knocked on the door and there was no response. Later it was Kitty who opened the door for me."

Before Lloyd could ask back, Metis took the initiative to "confess".

But when he said this, the pair of big dark golden eyes didn't dare to look at Lloyd, but looked away guiltily.

In fact, she told a little lie.

It's not about submitting any feedback report, it's simply because Lloyd hasn't returned to the college in the past few days and I haven't seen him for a long time.

Anyway, I'm a bad woman who has a crush on someone else's boyfriend, so lying isn't a big deal, right?

Metis comforted herself in her heart.

Lloyd did not accuse her of coming uninvited. He just looked at the tidy living room and the dinner already prepared on the table, and asked curiously:

"You did it?"

"Well... I saw you were sleeping and the place was a mess, so I helped you clean up. I was also hungry, so I went to the kitchen to make something to eat."

Metis quickly explained, and then asked curiously:

"By the way, why do you have hammers, shovels, soldering irons, and welding guns in your kitchen?"

“Those are all my kitchen utensils.”

Lloyd explained casually, then walked to the dining table and looked at the food that Metis had prepared.

Why are there just the usual fried lamb chops, fried fish fillets, fruit and vegetable salads, etc.?

Too traditional and too uncreative, right?

With this cooking skill, I’m afraid it will be hard to get married in the future…

Although I was complaining in my heart, I was actually very touched.

Apart from her sister, she is the first girl to cook for herself.

"Thank you, it looks delicious."

Lloyd spoke up.

"whee."

Metis smiled sweetly, took another step with her bare feet, and moved closer to Lloyd.

"Then why not try it?"

"Okay, you come too."

And so, the two sat at the table and had dinner together.

Lloyd said to be fair, Metis's cooking skills were not that good. The lamb chops and fish fillets only had ordinary salty and fresh flavors, without any spicy, sour or metallic taste. The taste level was completely incomparable to what he made.

The fruit and vegetable salad was too traditional. It was all raw and mixed with just a little sauce. There was no sense of craftsmanship or artistry at all.

Whoever marries her in the future will be miserable and will definitely not be able to eat every day.

Lloyd commented on it in his mind, but praised it repeatedly against his will, which made Metis very happy. Her big eyes were narrowed into crescent shapes, making her look particularly charming and attractive.

After dinner, she, like a virtuous little wife, took the initiative to clean up the dishes and ran to the kitchen to wash them.

Lloyd slumped on the sofa like a big boss, flipping through the feedback report she brought.

The above is an experience report on all aspects of the new features of the new mobile phone.

However, he did not write much about the new features that Lloyd cared about more. Instead, he discussed the existing photo-taking function at length and made a lot of suggestions.

For example, adding filters and lighting functions, as well as a more convenient selfie function, otherwise it would be very inconvenient for a girl like her who is short in stature and has short arms to take selfies.

Hiss... I have updated so many new features, but you only care about how to take better-looking photos?

Lloyd was also a little amused.

At this time, Metis had finished washing the dishes and cleaning up the kitchen. She came closer and knelt beside Lloyd in a duck sitting posture, looking at him eagerly, as if waiting for his comments on the report.

Lloyd did not talk about this directly, but sat up and asked:

"In fact, I am now a professor at the college, although it has not been officially announced yet."

"Well, I know. Or rather, the whole of Mitzkatok knows. After all, the council meeting a while ago caused quite a stir."

Metis said this, and then muttered to herself:

Not only is he good-looking, he is also very capable. I really envy Wei Ya...

"Hey, it's good that you know. If you are short of ratings or credits in the future, you can tell me and I will help you find a solution."

"Well, then...if you want to eat in the future, you can tell me."

Metis said cautiously again.

"Okay, let's go to the History Department cafeteria together sometime."

Lloyd said naturally.

Metis' heart couldn't help but skip a beat, and a look of aggrieved and pitiful expression flashed across her face.

Fortunately, he adjusted himself in time and nodded quickly.

"Well, I'll wait for you to have dinner together tomorrow."

"Okay, let's call it a day for today. It's getting late."

As Lloyd spoke, he stretched out his hand and opened the portal.

Although Metis said goodbye to him calmly and walked into the portal, she almost cried when she returned to the dormitory.

Doesn't he like my cooking?

I've been practicing hard for a long time...

No, no, that shouldn’t be the case. He said that the food I cook is delicious.

It's just that he was too busy and often had no time to eat, so he just went to the cafeteria to make do.

So I have to understand him and support him. After all, what he is doing is a major event that concerns the fate of mankind.

Even if he won't accept me in the end, I will be satisfied to be able to stay with him like this!

Besides... he obviously stayed in the academy longer, right? And Wei Ya wouldn't have stayed with him all the time, right?

When Metis thought of this, she suddenly shook her head vigorously.

No, no, this can't be...

She lowered her head helplessly and unwillingly, her sight passing over her chest and falling on her feet without any obstruction.

He seems to... like secretly looking at my feet?

So...would you like to try that red nail polish? Or those pretty anklets?

She was lost in thought for a while, and her cute childish face was involuntarily flushed with an alluring blush.

It's a pity that Lloyd was completely unaware of Metis's little thoughts and was busy lying on the sofa "rubbing glass".

In his phone was a young, beautiful girl with a pink jellyfish-like hairstyle, wearing an exquisite white dress and a pair of white stockings dotted with light golden cloud patterns. Under his control, she was turning around in a historical scene.

As a result, she was spotted by a monster not far away, which immediately pounced on the petite and cute girl.

But the girl calmly raised two fingers and tapped the monster lightly.

The monster instantly disintegrated into a pile of debris, leaving no complete body.

"Hmm... there is no problem with the operation, it feels good..."

"The modeling is also very accurate. This white silk is just like ice cream. I want to lick it!"

"In terms of power, according to my previous design, it can form a certain connection with the controller behind it, allowing the attributes of both parties to be linked and converted into the character's attack power, defense power, critical damage, etc. in a certain ratio. It can even have certain extraordinary attributes."

"In this way, those who have money but no strength can buy constellations and draw equipment; those who have strength but no money can also enhance the combat effectiveness of their characters through such attribute linkage."

"As for those who have no money and no ability... can they choose to become someone else's gaming experience?"

"Anyway, as long as you come in and participate in the trial, you can evolve illusory power. Even if you are saving the world, it's just that the game experience and the specific contribution are different. But no matter what, everyone has a bright future."

After Lloyd made this comment, he nodded with satisfaction, and then entered a series of complex commands on his mobile phone, remotely controlling the "server + energy source" that had been deployed under the Brilliant City, allowing it to start the first internal deletion test of the "氪金手机游戏".

So people who now have the latest version of mobile phones immediately felt a shock and took them out to have a look.

Then, they saw a disclaimer about flash epilepsy and a line of small print below it, which continued to remind them to consume rationally and pay attention to life.

Then, a standard pay-to-win mobile game interface was presented to everyone.

Looking around, there are messy cartoon-style buttons everywhere, coupled with various red dots and recharge reminders, the taste is absolutely pure.
