Today's test was another major failure.

The simultaneous surge of spirituality and inspiration made You Yonghuai slightly dazed. He seemed to see colorful light shimmering before his eyes, gradually rewriting his body.

A few lines of text appeared before his eyes, and You Yonghuai's consciousness wavered for a moment before the hallucination suddenly vanished.

Before he could even check the effects of the upgraded "Eye of the Evil God," You Yonghuai felt a tingling sensation in his right arm. Turning his head, he saw his lips twitch.

His hands suddenly grew covered with countless dark purple eyes.

【"Eye of the Evil God" (Phase Two): This skill can be stored in the eyeball on the arm and released directly by consuming spiritual energy when needed (the skill needs to be re-stored after release).

Skills already collected: 0/6

Focusing his attention on his right arm, You Yonghuai's vision instantly split open, with eyeballs on his arm rotating, eliminating any blind spots in his field of vision.

Yu Yonghuai, who hadn't yet gotten used to the feeling, had a headache. He tried to manipulate the eyes to close so that his arm could return to its original shape.

Swinging his arm, which seemed to have changed little, You Yonghuai was fairly satisfied with his new ability. He then continued to cut his wrists, using his blood to enhance his spirituality.

Before the "Eye of the Evil God" entered the second stage, every time Yu Yonghuai enhanced his spirituality, he also gained inspiration in a "double benefit".

But now, the improvement of spirituality comes with randomness.

It's as if it was specifically designed to allow "Eye of the Evil God" to enter the second stage.

However, the "kill two birds with one stone" trait is randomly generated from the special check of "Eye of the Evil God", so it is not impossible that the two are related.

But this can send chills down your spine.

After consuming approximately 1,000 points of life force, You Yonghuai's spirituality reached 100 points and could no longer be increased.

I don't know if the maximum is 100 points, or if this method can only increase it to a maximum of 100 points.

In any case, with You Yonghuai's current spirituality, he is certainly capable of learning the fireball technique.

More than an hour later, You Yonghuai closed the document. Feeling that he had grasped the basics, he raised his right hand, intending to practice in practice.

[Spell check: The check succeeds if the value is greater than 80]

Test result: 32

[Test failed!]

The flame that had just gathered in his palm exploded instantly, and the scattered sparks fell on You Yonghuai's body, leaving several charred spots.

As his body rapidly healed, You Yonghuai's lips twitched, and he stubbornly wanted to try again.

After the sparks landed on him time and time again, causing a slight pain, You Yonghuai finally understood that the release test requirement was determined by his proficiency level.

Although this will not affect the result of a failed test...

"I turned a perfectly good fireball spell into a self-destruction..." You Yonghuai stood up, knowing that he wouldn't be able to use spells normally for a while.

I didn't need it when I used flesh magic before... Wait, could it be...?

Fearing that the scope of the test had been expanded again, You Yonghuai hurriedly pulled out his little finger, which he had previously removed, and tried to use flesh magic on it.

Fortunately, flesh magic can still be used normally, perhaps because it requires other materials?

It was almost lunchtime, and You Yonghuai planned to get some takeout and then go to Wenjiang Middle School to find Ling Xiuqi, so he could get away from the sad thing of learning magic.

After knocking on the guest room door and waiting for Si Xuanyin's response, You Yonghuai pushed the door open. Before he could even ask her what she wanted for lunch, the scene that appeared before his eyes interrupted his thoughts.

Beside the girl, several lines of barely legible text floated slowly:

Negotiation (100% success rate)

[Observation (50% success rate)]

[Intimidation (50% success rate)]

[Theft (Success rate 0%)]

You Yonghuai quickly realized the origin of these lines of text.

This is also the change as the "Eye of the Evil God" enters the second stage.

Looking at the interactive options that resembled a tabletop role-playing game, You Yonghuai was at a loss for what to do, and even had the idea of ​​trying it on Si Xuanyin.

Si Xuanyin, who had just finished alchemy, spoke first: "What's wrong? Don't just stand there like an idiot at the door."

As Si Xuanyin awaited You Yonghuai's reply, the former's thought suddenly surfaced in her mind, and she immediately frowned: "What kind of experiment do you want to use me for?"

After understanding the situation, Si Xuanyin collapsed onto the bed, flipping through the takeout menu as she said, "I'm curious what would happen if you used the 'Accumulate Strength and Unleash Power' strategy on an option with a zero success rate... Besides, I don't have anything on me except two pieces of clothing."

"Let's see if other people have these options," You Yonghuai said after ordering takeout.

After lunch, a somewhat tired Si Xuanyin transformed back into her spirit form and attached herself to You Yonghuai.

After counting the alchemical products, Si Xuanyin asked You Yonghuai to contact Fatty and sell off the unwanted items, arranging for him to pick them up the next day.

After confirming that Ling Xiuqi was still at Wenjiang Middle School, You Yonghuai set off to meet him.

Given his almost certain fate of getting stuck in traffic, You Yonghuai gave up on the idea of ​​taking a taxi and decided to walk there himself.

After all, the time difference won't be too much.

Moreover, you'll encounter more people this way, allowing you to see what the options are in the second stage of "Eye of the Evil God".

Along the way, You Yonghuai could see roughly the same words around everyone. Sometimes, because there were so many people, the words were densely packed together, which made him feel like he had trypophobia.

The success rate of the four options varies for each person, fluctuating roughly between 40% and 60%, with the success rates of "Negotiation" and "Observation" being the highest.

Of course, You Yonghuai wouldn't suddenly have a brain fart and interact with a stranger on the way.

Let's leave this precious first interaction attempt to Ling Xiuqi.

After arriving at Wenjiang Middle School, You Yonghuai sent a message to Ling Xiuqi and soon saw him at the school gate.

Neither of them were wearing police uniforms, and they didn't look like they were there to investigate a case; they looked more like street thugs who had sneaked into the campus.

"I found the blueprints for Wenjiang Middle School before it was built. In their original plan, there should have been a basement level as well."

As Ling Xiuqi spoke, he glanced at Si Xuanyin, his words carrying a strong implication.

"I'll go down and take a look." Si Xuanyin raised an eyebrow and flew down.

When she came to Wenjiang before, Si Xuanyin was unaware of this matter, so she naturally didn't look down.

This time, after the entire spirit body had gone deep inside, Si Xuanyin encountered an obstacle.

Just like the laboratory's location at Wenjiang Middle School.

"So there really is something underground..." Ling Xiuqi pinched his chin, making Si Xuanyin find the boundary.

He had been wandering around Wenjiang Middle School for the past two days, but couldn't find a way down.

"If there's really no other way, let's just keep tearing it down."
