When the plot-skips players into the game world

Chapter 590: Chapter 13 Benchmark Worldline (7000 words, combined) Chapter 590: Chapter 13 Benchmark Worldline (7000 words, combined) As the camera gradually zoomed in, enlarged, and finally stopped on Queen Sofia’s half-open, ashen pupils, Aiwass thought the CG had ended.

The screen did indeed go black.

—But immediately afterward, another segment began to play.

Aiwass, wearing the red robe of a bishop, was pacing in the study of Moriarty Manor.

He seemed somewhat anxious.

He restlessly pulled a book from the shelf, apparently wanting to read.

But before he could start reading, he suddenly heard the sound of thunder from outside.

Aiwass immediately went to the window and saw the sky darken before his eyes at a visible speed.

The white-feathered griffons took off in flocks, and the pure white sky was stained as if drenched in ink, spreading outward from the center of the Hall of Silver and Tin.

Thunder roared, and the howling storm swept through the streets, instantly blowing away the fallen leaves that lined the streets in autumn.

In an instant, countless dry leaves danced in the air.

The visible storm approached rapidly.

When the camera stopped there, a whirlwind threw a leaf against Aiwass’s face.

Aiwass was startled for a moment before realizing that the CG had ended and he could move again.

“…Seamless transition?”

Just as he realized this, a raspy voice that sounded as grating as nails scraping across a chalkboard suddenly echoed in his mind:

“You are Aiwass Moriarty.

At only nineteen years old, you became a bishop recognized by the Nine Pillars Divine Church and also the youngest bishop in Avalon.

“Your sister, Yulia Moriarty, is a Phantom Demon Egg, but fortunately, thanks to the care of your foster father James, her condition has been well controlled.

Under your treatment, her condition has even been improving.

“But soon after your promotion to bishop, Yulia was suddenly abducted by a group of people.

When you found Yulia, she had already lost control and transformed into a Phantom Demon.

“You suspect there may be a conspiracy behind this incident, and you have been investigating in secret and planning revenge.

Recently, with the help of Detective Sherlock Hermes, you finally uncovered that the culprit behind the scenes is Minister Charles Drost, who is a spy for the Star Antimony people.

“At the same time, you also stumbled upon another conspiracy—Star Antimony and Avalon are currently organizing a marital alliance, but there has been unusual troop movement along the Star Antimony border.

“With only one day left until the engagement banquet and no way to stop it, you decide to split up—sending a message to the guardian stationed at the border, while Detective Sherlock decides to personally go to the Hall of Silver and Tin to report the matter to Queen Sofia.

Also, since you had met Princess Isabel during your promotion ceremony, after much deliberation, you decide to send her a warning letter as well.@@novelbin@@

“Now a day has passed, the princess has not sent a reply, and Sherlock has not come back for you.

You realize that something bad seems to have happened…”

The next moment, several lines of text appeared before Aiwass’s eyes.

Two essential tasks, eleven additional tasks.

Even deducting the three transformation-related trial tasks, there are still eight extra tasks.

Without a doubt, this was the most number of tasks Aiwass had ever received in a promotion ceremony.

Based on his experiences from the several promotion ceremonies, the tasks given by Serpent Father are filled with nigh impossible ultra-difficult tasks that couldn’t possibly be completed normally, while those given by the Gemini Mirror are lighthearted, with massive point rewards that seem to be filled out randomly, clearly encouraging you to stir up trouble.

The best tasks are those given by the Hourglass…

Its tasks are a form of guidance and hint.

Even if the Great Sage wreaks havoc in that promotion ceremony, the Hourglass still tries to clear the minds of the people being promoted.

And the tasks given by the Lord of Scalefeather in these two instances are conservative in awarding points, offering only one or two extra “bonus questions” with high scores.

The rest are tasks visibly achievable…

as long as one takes them seriously, they can certainly be completed.

This is so for Aiwass, and it should apply to the others as well.

For this reason, it’s probably not easy to make a big point difference in Lord of Scalefeather’s scenarios.

All achievable tasks must be completed.
