Chapter 221: Chapter 221: Don’t Look at Market Value, Look at User Satisfaction

After reviewing the Bishop’s memories, Anvis glanced at the Magic Hourglass on the altar.

There was only a thin layer of sand at the bottom of the hourglass, hardly a few grains had trickled down.

This type of hourglass maintained a special spell effect, causing the sand at the bottom to change color every minute it fell, following the rainbow gradient from red to purple.

The hourglass could time a maximum of seven minutes, and as sand of other colors passed through the narrow neck of the hourglass, it would be restored to red.

When Anvis looked, the gravel had just changed from red to orange.

Although it seemed like a long time had passed in the memory, in reality only a mere fifty-nine seconds had elapsed.

Yanile, completely unaware, was standing quietly to the side, waiting for his command without any sense of urgency.

"Good, I understand. Now, wait here for a moment, I need to make some temporary preparations."

Anvis ordered in a deep voice as he casually put away the hourglass.

"I understand, Priest."

Yanile nodded and then sat directly on the ground, entering a state of meditation without any defense, attempting to heal his injuries.

"Remember, when truth returns to this world, the Primitive Moon shall carry us home—"

Under his hood, Anvis smiled silently, then left the underground cave.

He had prepared a safeguard for himself by using the identity of a Priest from the Moon Calling Secret Sect to communicate and interact with the Bishop the entire time.

Even if the Church Court could really detect the presence of the Twisted Seed, or simply notice that something was wrong with the Bishop, an investigation of the Bishop’s memories would only yield the conclusion that he was captured by the Alien God Sect on the island.

As for the seemingly ’omnipotent’ Prophecy Magic, even Prophecy Skills have their limits.

If one were to trace back to the origin through Prophecy Skills, they definitely couldn’t circumvent the existence of the Ancient Secret Scripture.

And the Ancient Secret Scripture itself, sealing a presence beyond the Ninth Rank Limit, is almost enough to interfere with any Prophecy Magic.

Therefore, what does the behavior of the Priest from the Moon Calling Secret Sect have to do with Anvis?

As for the opinion of the Secret Sect, the Great Sacrificial Rite, being magnanimous, wouldn’t likely make a fuss over such a trivial matter with him.

.........

Walking slowly out of the cave, Anvis reflected on his prior actions and suddenly felt it peculiar.

The dim cave, the dubious black robe, the hoarse and eerie tone of voice, the ceremonies and dialogues that looked utterly villainous...

Tsk, why does it seem like I am playing the part of an evil arch-villain?

Examining the Priest’s black robe on him, Anvis thought for a moment and casually took it off, changing back into his original, elegant pure white suit.

After removing the high-level black robe imbued with Alien Power, the control of Light Element in his bloodline began to operate on its own.

The Light Element particles, reluctantly dispersed by the dark power of the black robe, now joyfully reconvened around him, causing a pure and holy light to emerge on the surface of his body.

That’s it, the style doesn’t match.

Looking up at the sky, a dazzling half-sun of brilliant gold was already bursting from the distant horizon.

The splendid golden sunlight enveloped his face, gilding his cheeks with a bright gold edge.

Meanwhile, a strand of black snowflake, also tinged with gold, fell upon his face, slightly cool to the touch.

Previously, arranging the strange Companion Ceremony for Xia Ye Yinghuo and Lorna, as well as planting the Twisted Seed in that Bishop, had taken up nearly an entire day’s time.

Actually, this is already the second day’s sunrise.

The previously erupting volcano group had now once again fallen silent.

Upon learning that Anvis wanted to deeply develop the island, the Duke personally intervened, using the strength of absolute zero to extinguish the erupting volcanoes.

And for those volcanic ashes rich in Magic Power and rare mineral elements, the Duke did not violently sweep them away but instead used a method to freeze them into fine black snowflakes, which slowly descended onto the surface of the island.

This could significantly enhance the fertility of the island’s surface for future cultivation of various magic-altered plants.

Gazing at the newborn sunrise, Anvis suddenly let out a soft laugh. Then, his figure vanished in a flash, ready to check the result of the companion ceremony between the two girls.

At least for now, he still stood on the side of justice.

After all, justice will always prevail.

.........

When Anvis returned to the ceremonial site, the transformation ceremony had already been essentially completed.

To avoid player boredom during such a long-lasting Secret Magic Ceremony, players could choose the skip option on their panel. The system would then allow the player’s spiritual power to enter a sleep-like state.

Of course, players could also choose to log off; in this case, the game character would not disappear but would continue to exist until the ceremony was thoroughly completed.

Some players considered this a waste of their gaming time and chose to complain to the officials, hoping to cancel this ceremonial time.

Therefore, after updating to the second version, following the principle of "valuing player satisfaction over market cap," the game planners removed the original sleep state option and introduced an advertising playback function.

Specifically, a virtual screen was fixed in front of the player, allowing them to watch various third-party advertisements during the ceremony to alleviate boredom.

Players could choose the type of advertisement they wanted to browse, pay to watch a movie, or view the game’s internal player forum, the latter being more expensive than the former.

The only consolation was that the log-off function still existed and was not greyed out.

This update sent Planned Horse flying all over the skies, and the quantity of Planner’s full toolkit surged like skyrocketing prices.

At this moment, Jom was guarding the door and enveloped the four corners of the room with spiritual power.

This was to prevent unforeseen accidental factors from interrupting the ongoing ceremony.

Seeing Anvis’s arrival, he immediately bowed his head slightly in greeting.

Anvis nodded his head and finally glanced at his pocket watch before pushing the door and entering.

However, the temperature in the room seemed a bit high at this time.

The Ritual Array had finished operating, but due to the residual effect of the Secret Technique, the two girls were flushed and nestled together in an overly intimate posture.

Their tender, fair cheeks pressed tightly together, their bodies softly embracing each other, feeling the different temperatures as if to let their delicate and sensitive souls touch each other.

Even though it was a body with an adjusted fake rate of 20%, the fullness and curvature produced by the compression still felt very real, and Anvis felt a bit hot just watching from the sidelines.

No wonder it had a realness percentage of 98.25%.

Luckily, or unfortunately, Lorna’s little hands couldn’t touch anything further due to the presence of the Sighing Set, and the same was true for Xia Ye Yinghuo.

Clap clap clap—

Exhaling softly, Anvis clapped his hands with just the right force.

This sound carried a hint of awakening magic effect, and under the stimulus of this sound, one of the girls suddenly came to her senses.
