Chapter 1113: Chapter 1113: System Upgrade/New Copy Character (Big Chapter for Monthly Pass)

An old-fashioned phonograph appeared in that dark shadow, its delicate stylus touching the spinning record, playing a sound that was distant and prolonged.

The underlying lines of the entire world seemed to tremble at this moment, reaching out to touch He Ao’s body.

Immediately after, the invisible hand climbed swiftly upwards, as if through this ’Advent’ ceremony, trying to find the root of He Ao’s power, transcending space and time to locate the source of the Advent.

He Ao turned his head to look at the phonograph behind him.

He curled his lips into a slight smile and casually tossed the blood-stained, thin piece of paper in his hand.

The next second, his figure abruptly disappeared, as if he had never been there at all.

This was why he had to use the Descending Ceremony to come here.

That Starlight Silhouette seemed to be in collaboration with the God of Machinery, and in the ruins, the God of Machinery seemed to have significant sway.

Therefore, it was very likely that the Starlight Silhouette had his own arrangements in the ruins, and Ruoke En was ’arranged’ there by him.

He Ao had no doubt about the power and methods of those Beings Above Angels.

Whether it was ’Hao Yi’ or He Ao appearing in the ruins, it was likely they would be immediately discovered.

Therefore, He Ao chose to ’Descend’, right at the doorstep of Research Institute 196.

Since Li Cheng found fragments of Angel Tier artifacts here, it was highly probable that this institute was shrouded in secrets, potentially capable of masking He Ao’s movements to some extent, preventing immediate detection upon his arrival.

And indeed, as He Ao had predicted, the Starlight Silhouette had the ability to sense his arrival at the ruins, but it was not so quick to detect him.

This gave him time to explore the Research Institute and gather intelligence.

Due to the special nature of the Advent, as soon as He Ao severed the power supply, his ’projection’ would vanish immediately.

And as He Ao disappeared, the invisible hand in that shadow-filled hall that was reaching upwards in search fell through as the connection was cut.

A vague Starlight Silhouette emerged from the void, gazing at the very spot where He Ao had just stood, and at the piece of paper that He Ao had just casually tossed aside.

At this moment, on that thin sheet of paper, a meticulously drawn septagram was painted with fresh blood.

Almost instantaneously upon seeing the pattern, the ethereal Starlight Silhouette, along with the old phonograph, disappeared from the pitch-black hall.

——

"Cough—"

He Ao himself coughed, retracting his consciousness.

Even though the Descending Ceremony was established through the City of Rong Guang, maintaining the projection still sapped some of his strength, which weakened his body that was already carrying some injuries.

As he expected, information relevant to his elevation was indeed hidden within Research Institute 196.

This was the guidance that the ’One-eyed Shadow’ had left him.

But why did the One-eyed Shadow know that data regarding the formula for Talent Sequence 272 Secret Medicine was concealed beneath the dry corpse?

Did the three great Angels also participate in the sealing of 005?

Not necessarily, perhaps they knew about 005’s specific research location and then noticed an aura similar to 005 on He Ao, so they casually pointed out the way.

After all, if He Ao found Research Institute 196 and saw the data of 005, whether or not he acquired the formula, he would follow this clue and investigate further.

In terms of Super Memory upgrade, the three great Angels couldn’t offer much help; they could only provide some related information.

Suppressing his thoughts, He Ao raised his head, looking at the subtitles that had already popped up in his field of view.

[Mission System Upgrade Completed]

Ruins

Time passed unknowingly, and the Starlight Silhouette constructed from starlight re-emerged in the shadows. He lowered his head, gazing at the scattered corpses, and then slowly walked over to the piece of paper that had just drifted down, picking up the thin sheet.

On the paper, there was only an Array with a blood-colored Septagram, nothing else.

This was not a complete Descending Ceremony, nor did it possess the ability to attract the gaze of Divine Beings.

The Starlight Silhouette gripped the thin paper tightly, crumpling it into a ball, and with immense force, tore the paper to shreds, reducing it to dust in an instant.

In the next second, the Starlight Silhouette appeared at the entrance of the deep cavern.

He looked around, the presence of those humans had already dissipated.

It was the ruin channel that had taken those ’Explorers’ from the Main World back to the Main World.

The Starlight Silhouette silently gazed at all this, then turned his head to glance at a large tree beside him.

Bang——

The thick canopy exploded together with the stout trunk, leaving only strands of shattered snake bodies and leaves fluttering down from the sky.

Passing through the gradually dimming body of the Starlight Silhouette.

——

Main World

He Ao’s real body watched the captions in front of him.

[The following are the update points (click to view detailed content):]

[1. Mission System Upgrade]

[2. Mission Evaluation Upgrade]

[3. Character Card Function Upgrade]

Aside from the Mission System and Mission Evaluation, the Character Card functions were upgraded too?

This was not the first system upgrade, and He Ao’s gaze quickly converged on the ’Mission System Upgrade’ caption.

[After this upgrade of the Mission System, you will need to know the following information:]

[1. Given your Perfect performance in the game, the game has now opened up the Mythical Tier missions for you, and the level of basic rewards has been upgraded. Your current basic reward level is: Incomplete Angel Tier]

[2. Please be aware that after the Mission System Upgrade, the difficulty of tasks will also greatly increase. You will be more likely to get involved in the machinations and conflicts between Divine Beings. The powers of Great Beings are unpredictable, and any carelessness may cost you your Soul and flesh. Death is not the end, please protect yourself during the missions.]

[3. Please note that after the Mission System Upgrade, character relationships will become more complex, and the entities you encounter will also be more perceptive and strange. Please continue to adhere to your role-playing principles and prevent your identity from being exposed.]

The basic reward level has become Incomplete Angel Tier, so does that mean that if I can trigger a ’huge critical hit’, the items produced will at least be of Angel Tier?

But the Mission System has also been upgraded to Mythical Tier.

In the terminology of Mysticism, the term myth generally refers specifically to beings Above Angel or those touched by mythic power with High Positional Grade.

Whatever tier the Mission System is, it means that one will encounter enemies of that tier.

Does that mean Divine Beings of the Mythical Tier will become regular guests in future Copy Worlds?

Well, since the basic rewards have reached Incomplete Angel Tier, rounding up, Incomplete Angels are also considered Mythical Beings.

Looks like the task difficulty is going up again.

Then He Ao’s gaze moved lower, and he saw the words ’Task difficulty will significantly increase’.

······

Predicted it, huh?

He calmed himself down and read the second explanation carefully.

The content of this explanation was also quite simple, summarizing it was just, ’Mythical Beings will become regular guests, and so will Divine Beings.’

Oh, friends have been regular guests already.

That’s settled then.

However, there is still a difference; the system seems to be reminding He Ao to prepare for a confrontation with Divine Beings.

Of course, the greater the risk, the greater the reward.

He Ao quickly scanned the third item.

This one, like before, is advising He Ao to maintain character impersonation as much as possible.

As the level of contact increases, facing various bizarre abilities, is the likelihood of being discovered in impersonation also higher?

In any case, the difficulty of the mission has increased.

He Ao looked away and turned his attention to the ’Mission Evaluation Upgrade’.

[After this Mission Evaluation Upgrade, you need to be aware of the following information:]

[1. Mission evaluations will transition from star-based to tier-based ratings, divided into Gold, Epic, Legend, and Perfect four tiers. Scores will be rated out of ten, with 1 to 4 points indicating mission failure and no evaluation settlement, 5 to 6 points for Gold, 7 to 8 points for Epic, 9 points for Legend, 10 points for Perfect.]

[2. Each time a main mission is completed normally, you will receive a basic Gold (5 points) rating and rewards will be issued under normal conditions. If the mission fails but you survive, the rating will be below five points. *When the rating falls below Gold (5 points), main mission rewards will not be settled, and the mission evaluation will roll over to the next cumulative evaluation settlement.]

[3. Side missions will be evaluated separately from the main mission. If the mission fails, side missions will still be subject to evaluation and combined with the main mission for the next evaluation settlement.]

[*The Mission Evaluation System has further upgrades, which you can explore on your own.]

The first point is essentially saying that the rating system has changed.

It’s a tier-based evaluation but determined by giving scores.

Although it says there are four tiers, 1 to 4 points actually mean mission failure, which is tantamount to non-qualification, so in reality, there are five tiers.

Of course, there are only four tiers when it comes to settlement rewards.

The system previously used a scoring evaluation, and this time it could also have just used 1 to 10 points, yet suddenly it has divided tiers by scores.

This ’tier’, will it affect the actual rewards in some way?

The second point, mission failure means no reward settlement, it’s the same as before.

What’s interesting is the third point. In case of mission failure, side missions can still be evaluated, but the evaluations will be consolidated with the main mission into the next settlement.

From this point, have the ’status’ of side missions been elevated?

Will their weight in the overall evaluation also be strengthened?

Looks like I will have to wait until the next settlement to see.

However, will the evaluation criteria for main and side missions remain the same as before?

He Ao’s gaze landed on the last item ’Character Card Function Upgrade’.

[After this Character Card Function Upgrade, you need to be aware of the following information:]

[1. The abilities of exchanged Character Cards will no longer be limited to the current Copy World characters; if a Copy World character dies, other Character Card characters can continue the mission as long as they still have active time, until the Character Card’s use duration is exhausted or the mission is completed.]

[2. When different characters are used simultaneously, there will be a Mysticism Barrier separating the characters’ information, but beware, Divine Beings might be able to penetrate this barrier.]

[3. Under the gaze of Great Beings, Character Card characters also risk being exposed, so please adhere to the principles of impersonation.]

The Character Cards have already received one upgrade, with additional abilities and the capability to use two characters simultaneously.

If that was a ’minor upgrade’, this one is a ’super invincible upgrade’.

The core of this upgrade is evident; to some extent, the Character Card’s functionality has merged with the Mission System, no longer restricting the main role to the current Copy World character.

Should He Ao use other Copy World characters from the Character Cards, he could also exchange for the abilities of yet another Character Card.

This means ’Vian’ could use ’Nell’s ’Usurper God’ ability.

Also, even if the original Copy World character dies, as long as the Character Cards have time left, the mission can still continue without resulting in failure.

This essentially gives He Ao a chance for a last-ditch turnaround. Used well, this mechanism can allow him to do much more.

Of course, the original Copy World character is still very important since hidden missions are likely related to the original character. Should they die too early, the hidden missions are likely doomed.

And the existence of the original Copy World character does not require the use of Exchange Star to maintain.

As it is, He Ao’s Exchange Stars are not exactly plentiful, and the ’exchange prices’ for different characters remain high. Using Exchange Stars to continue the mission with other characters is likely only an act of desperation when the situation is completely out of control.

And the system has clearly indicated the risks of such an operation.

One is, although there are Mysticism Barriers between different Copy World characters, they might be breached by Divine Beings.

Two is, even the characters inside the Character Cards need to maintain their impersonation to avoid being spotted by the Higher Beings who watch over these characters.

But overall, this upgrade is still very powerful.

’Death is not the end.’

He Ao returned to the detailed section of the Mission System Upgrade, focusing intently on that phrase.

It’s a warning from the system about the terror of Divine Beings.

But in a sense, it might also be a ’hint’ for He Ao.

Gathering his thoughts, He Ao took a deep breath.

His phone vibrated, showing a message from Li Cheng, with just four simple words,

[Safe Return]

"Huff—"

The murky air lingering in his heart was let out in a long exhale.

He was fortunate this time; the timing of the Ruins’ opening to closure just happened to be before the start of He Ao’s new Copy World.

This allows He Ao to make more ’arrangements’.

For example, using himself as bait to lure the Starlight Silhouette into appearing, then scare it away with the Ritual Array of a good friend.

He Ao didn’t really summon a good friend, since there were many Explorers from the Main World around at the time, and if he had actually brought over a good friend, even though it might have driven away the Starlight Silhouette, it could have caused widespread collateral damage.

So he chose a trickier approach, feigning the summoning of a friend.

He Ao had successfully summoned a friend before, and with the damage that friend had done to the Starlight Silhouette before, the creature was likely in a state of extreme fear and on high alert.

Therefore, He Ao decided to scare it.

Unexpectedly, it worked instantly.

He Ao leaned back on the sofa, watching the night sky outside gradually darken.

The countdown in his field of view finally hit zero.

Scenes from the Research Institute 196 passed through his mind again, as countless pieces of information buried into his memory.

Talent Sequence 272: Memory Inheritor.

Right or wrong, let’s see.
