Conan: Start with three choices, but sequence potion

Chapter 193 The Birth of the King (nu)
However, Dr. Agasa did not dare to try other sacrificial methods.

After all, the existence of a follower means that the gods are watching over them.

It would be a bit too much for the followers of the God of Knowledge and Wisdom not to follow the path of the knower.
He didn't dare bet on the generosity and mercy of the gods.

Moreover, the path of knower itself is in line with his expectations. Dr. Agasa is a researcher who pursues knowledge and truth.

There is no more extraordinary avenue that would be more suitable for him.

Soon the elevator continued to move upwards, and Dr. Agasa clearly felt a strange fluctuation. This was not a movement caused by the elevator itself, but more like an influence from some kind of mysticism, as if passing through an invisible "membrane".

This is a very novel experience, and Dr. Agasa can't help but feel excited.

"We're here." The elevator door opened, Roselle walked out first, followed closely by Dr. Agasa.

As soon as he walked out, Dr. Agasa felt a little dizzy. The walls around him were so smooth that they seemed to have no roughness at all. They could almost be used as mirrors. There was no light in the room, only a piece of white paper floating on the central platform, glowing faintly.

The faint light reflected from the surrounding mirrors can actually illuminate the entire space.

"This is the holy relic of our Church of the Knower, the Book of Omniscience."

"Omniscient." Dr. Agasa repeated these two words, feeling that it was a bit absurd, but the catalog in his mind that left him with no clue for the most part made it impossible for him to question this.

"Of course the Book of Omniscience cannot be with us. It's in the church headquarters in Backlund. It's safe there." Roselle joked.

"This is just one page of the Book of Omniscience. All branches of the church have such a page. It has a strong connection with the original mysticism. And most importantly, it does not exclude the connection from the material basis and has the nature of being able to be 'deciphered'."

"Compared to other extraordinary objects of the same level, it does not have that 'incomprehensible' performance, which makes it much friendlier to us researchers."

He said humorously: "In the words of the Church of Fools, this is a 'Level 0 Sealed Artifact' without a price."

"The rapid development of the modern Internet is due to this stable, unrealistic mystical connection between the page and the Book of All-Knowing."

Dr. Agasa roughly understood that this piece of paper and the Book of Omniscience were probably the relationship between the base station and the satellite, replacing optical fibers to provide fast and stable "network" in the metaverse world.

The combination of extraordinary power and modern science can definitely bring out a brighter light of civilization!

He couldn't wait any longer.

Check the drawings first.

Well, chemical bullets for evil spirits.

First, the ordinary gunpowder layer and cartridge case, and the bullet head must be replaced with silver alloy.

Add hydrangea pollen, which has a burning effect on evil spirits, and a salt solution with a dilution ratio of one-third to the inner layer.

Put it into the lathe to complete the stamping.

A chemical bullet with a slight effect against evil spirits was made so easily.

Vodka was almost getting used to this kind of work. He got today's production drawings from his colleagues in the Moss Assumption Society, and then repeated such simple and boring steps.

There is no need to think too much and there is no pressure. You can just empty your mind. It doesn’t matter if your big brother is not around because you don’t need him to make decisions.

This is the most relaxing and enjoyable thing for Vodka.

Just like the work he did every day before.

Get the mission information, drive to the mission location, follow behind the big brother to fish, occasionally help out with shooting and collecting money, and then rush to the next mission.

For vodka, there is no essential difference between the two.

He doesn't have much ambition, but this makes him feel needed and fulfilled, and that's enough.

However, the eldest brother seems to be getting more and more impetuous recently. He no longer takes him to complete those tasks, but instead spends more time on the Metaverse. He only takes him out to fish occasionally when he cannot go online.

Vodka doesn’t quite understand, but big brother is always right, so all he has to do is support big brother.

As the thought flashed through his mind, his hand speed did not slow down at all. In the blink of an eye, he had completed punching out another 30 bullets for a magazine.

"Yuzhong, the director is calling you." A colleague in research clothes who was in charge of checking to prevent any mistakes suddenly called him.

"Ah? Oh." Vodka reacted, turned off the machine, and then took off his bulky safety suit.

After arriving at the director's office, he saw the workshop director who looked very much like Cohen.

"Uozhong, you did a great job this week. The church has given each workshop five recommendation assessment quotas this month. I've signed you up. Get ready and take the exam this afternoon. If you pass, you can become a Sequence 5 Beyonder."

Vodka suddenly became energetic. He did not forget his elder brother's instructions.

"I understand, Director." He asked tentatively, "What exactly is the assessment about?"

"Don't be too nervous. It's just a basic assessment. We, the pioneers, are mainly engaged in production applications, so you should be given a drawing and corresponding materials and asked to complete the assembly work within the specified time."

"Okay, thank you, Director."

Vodka returned to his workstation and continued his previous work.

Time soon came to the afternoon, and he was brought by the director to the administrative building in the center of the industrial park.

In addition to him, there were many other people queuing up for the test. The test venues for the Pioneers and the Moss Ascetic Order were on the left and right, and the test was conducted by calling numbers. Those who were not waiting for their turn could rest on the chairs in the waiting room.

Vodka found an empty seat. His number was E13, which meant he was the 13th on the Trail Blazers side.

Not long after, the seat next to him was also taken.

"Hello." A blond and dark-skinned young man smiled at him politely. "What a coincidence?"

Vodka nodded casually at first, but then realized something was wrong and looked at him in shock.

Bourbon?!
Why is this guy here?

"Yeah, haha." Vodka smiled stiffly.

I feel so panicked without my big brother around!

And it was the mystic Bourbon, he was the worst at dealing with this kind of person, help!
"Gin is not with you? That's rare." Toru Amuro raised his eyebrows, looked around, and then teased.

"." The more you talk, the more mistakes you make, so Vodka just shut up.

Seeing that he didn't reply, Toru Amuro didn't force it. It would be a bit deliberate to get to the bottom of it.

So he just smiled and looked away.

Not long after, the number was called to M06 and Amuro Toru stood up.

"I'll go first." He said hello to Vodka and walked towards the examination room on the right.

From an angle that Vodka couldn't see, Toru Amuro's face looked gloomy.

The random birth setting of the Metaverse makes everyone start equally. Unless you are extremely lucky, it is difficult to gain an advantage. The Orthodox Church must not allow people like Vodka and Gin to enter the upper echelons, or even to become dominant!

It seems that when we go back, we need to let Feng Jian and the others consciously move closer to the Church of the Knower, and try to establish a powerful force within the church first.

He made the decision silently in his heart.

Vodka naturally had no idea of the sandwich man's psychology. He just watched him walk to the right and realized that Bourbon was a member of the Morse Trappist Order.

"E13, prepare for the assessment."

"Coming." Vodka trotted towards the examination room on the left.

There was a simple workbench in the assessment room, and sitting opposite it were three assessors, two men and one woman.

"May truth last forever." They first said to the vodka.

Vodka nodded and replied: "May the truth last forever."

"Before the assessment begins, we need to ask you something, Mr. Uozuka." The examiner sitting in the middle pushed his glasses and spoke in a serious tone.

"Before joining the 'Pioneers', everyone was informed of a rule. Do you remember it?"

"Remember." Vodka nodded, "'He who picks up tools is a worker, and he who picks up weapons is a soldier.'"

"Very good." The examiner nodded with satisfaction.

"We would like to remind you that after passing the assessment, you will be officially promoted to a Beyonder of Sequence 9 of the Knower Path, and will enjoy the corresponding benefits of a Beyonder. However, you will also have to bear the obligations that a Beyonder should have."

"As pioneers, when a battle is needed, you, as an Extraordinary Person, will be given priority over other ordinary members and be sent to the front line."

"I see." Vodka was not surprised.

"Okay, the assessment will begin now."

The examiner pointed to the workbench in front of him and said, "Here is a blueprint of a standard pistol. The design has the conditions to fire three basic chemical bullets, but we have hidden the specific values of several components."

"And in front of you, there are enough original parts to assemble this pistol. About one-third of the parts are confusing items. Please identify the correct parts within three minutes and assemble them successfully."

With a week of experience in screw driving, Vodka quickly completed this simple test.

"Very good, congratulations on passing this test. Please leave through this passage at the back, where someone will guide you through the sacrificial ritual."

After passing through a relatively long passage, Vodka came to a large library.

In the center of the library, there is a virtual image.

He was a young-looking boy, flipping through a book with an expressionless face.

It was clearly a virtual projection, but it actually touched the pages of the book.

Vodka walked over, but before he could say anything, he saw the teenager pointing to the desk beside him without even looking up: "Sit here and follow the procedures on the tablet."

After sitting down as he said, Vodka saw a tablet on the table.

【Relax your mind, adjust your breathing and heartbeat, and try to stay calm. 】

[After clearing your mind, recite the following spell devoutly and earnestly following the phonetic notation:]

Vodka read it carefully from beginning to end, then took a long breath and adjusted himself to a relaxed state.

Then he spat out the words written on the tablet, which he did not recognize but had pronunciation marked.

“The power of knowledge!”

“You are the answer to the endless search for knowledge;”

"You are the eternal truth!"

"I pray to you!"

"I pray for your grace;"

"I pray that you will grant me the power of 'researcher'!"

Countless runes that could not be seen by the naked eye emerged from all the books and gathered on Vodka. He felt as if he was soaked in cold water. His mind was unprecedentedly calm and clear, as if a key had opened the shackles that had imprisoned his thoughts for a long time.

His wisdom ushered in long-awaited freedom.

Vodka has never felt as smart as he does now. He now has new ideas for many things that he used to understand clearly.

It was as if there was a machine in his mind that helped him sort out all the tedious tasks in an orderly and clear manner.

"Knower" Pathway Sequence 9 "Researcher"

The basic computing power has been improved, and one can quickly look up known knowledge about things that one has already known, and build a "thought atlas" in the mind.

Then he realized.

"It turns out that what Big Brother said is true. Beyonders are truly extraordinary."

"The reason why I work so hard is to get the ritual method of the Way of the Knower."

"In this way, our Aurora Society will have two series of sacrificial rituals."

'But this is not the end!'

"Not only can I get the sacrificial rituals, but if I can become a high-ranking official in the Church of the Knower, I can then work together with my eldest brother to seize power in one fell swoop."

Vodka's flexible traitorous thinking began to revive.

He took a deep look at the virtual image in front of him who was still reading a book, silently hid all his thoughts in the corner of his mind, and then continued to look at the tablet.

Soon, Vodka learned about the existence of the method of acting.

How to act as a researcher?
His main job is driver, killer, programmer, and he has never been a researcher.

Vodka couldn't help but recall the researchers he had met when he went to Shirley Research Institute with his elder brother.
Uh, it has such a low presence that I don’t have any impression of it.

The only person I have some impression of is that woman named Shirley. I remember that she seemed very busy and sometimes she was still in the research institute late at night.

So, the way to play the role of a researcher is to choose one thing and then work on it all day long?

For now, this is the only superficial understanding I have of vodka.

it is good!
From today on, I will work hard to tighten the screws and overwhelm others. I can accumulate performance and meet the role-playing progress at the same time. It's really killing two birds with one stone!
Vodka felt that he had found a perfect solution and was full of energy.
