Chapter 89: Chapter 88 Page 2 Book of the Celestial Chariot_1

Annan soon sent the players away.

Of course, this was after watching them take away all those books.

The great and gentle Mr. Planner thoughtfully prepared for the players some daily tasks to relax their minds between dungeon runs:

Annan didn’t directly issue daily tasks, but he set up the "Archive" function so that every time a new "valuable book" was typed into it, they could obtain reputation rewards from the "Eye of Secrecy" faction, improve their own rank, and at the same time gain a small amount of reputation. Depending on their rank, they could also view materials in the Archive that were classified lower than their own level of secrecy.

——This so-called "Eye of Secrecy" faction was a fabrication by Annan, completely nonexistent.

Annan’s goal was actually quite simple: to give players something to grind, and to turn the act of accessing information from "available to all" to a "privilege" that required a reputation level to perform.

Thus, some players would take it more seriously, resulting in a preliminary division of labor among them. There would also be players dedicated to collecting books, knowledge, and intelligence for Annan.

The players couldn’t easily access higher-level knowledge, but Annan’s own permissions were fully unlocked.

On this basis of need, Annan wanted to elevate the level of sophistication without giving himself away.

Therefore, he didn’t choose names like "Guardian of Knowledge" or "Hall of Mysteries" which sounded like they were run by an old man with a white beard, but instead added a prefix of "secrecy."

It made it seem like some sort of isolated, completely neutral, and excellent organization that hid its existence very well.

If the players really tried to search for it...

They would find not a single living soul, nor a trace of records.

Then, the players would marvel, "As expected of the Eye of Secrecy, truly secretive."

To avoid conflicts with other names, Annan even specifically noted, "This name is beyond your understanding, unreadable, but can be referred to as ’Eye of Secrecy’."

A mere nickname, isn’t it normal to have duplicates?

Annan was full of righteous bravado.

However, although Annan told the players a lot, even about losing memories and resetting progress after death...

He did not tell them the precautions for the "Gallery" nightmare.

Instead, he activated the live broadcast function for them.

Because Annan was quite curious, too.

What would happen if they didn’t follow the precautions? What would their deaths look like?

Although memories after death couldn’t be preserved, the live broadcast and recording features changed everything... he could finally see how his past self had died.

Anyway, the players’ erosion levels weren’t worth much; when they were close to losing control, Annan could make a strong appearance and cleanse their erosion for them. While fervently earning reputation in the player faction, he could also reclaim the goodwill he had given out.

As long as the items exchangeable for Annan’s goodwill became essential, Annan had a thousand ways to control this group of players.

Dying a few more times wouldn’t be too bad, dying a few more could even be good...

——Surely, as the players left the manor in high spirits, they couldn’t imagine what Annan’s saintly, gentle and compassionate smile meant.

Soon, all the players in the manor had gone. The only maid and the only cook in the manor were ordinary people, unable to protect themselves, so they were taken away as human evidence by the players.

Only Annan was left here——responsible for watching over Viscount’s corpse, waiting for Salvatore to arrive after he had dealt with the Black Fire.

Luckily, the cook had still brought him his dinner before leaving. At least Annan wouldn’t go hungry tonight.

He sat beside the Viscount’s corpse, leisurely eating his dinner that was two hours late.

By the time Annan finished his dinner alone, Salvatore still hadn’t arrived.

"That little panda is so slow..."

Annan sighed.

With nothing better to do, he walked over to Viscount Barber’s body, intending to search for any jewelry on his body, clothes, or in his pockets.

Searching the body should have been the first thing to do after defeating a boss.

But obviously, misled by Annan, the players didn’t realize that Viscount Barber himself was a boss.

Annan had originally not planned to handle it anyway. After all, it was best to leave his body as it was until Salvatore arrived to fully prove his innocence...

But then again, what was the point of pretending to be innocent in front of Salvatore?

Annan shrugged his shoulders and abandoned that thought.

Since he was idle, he might as well check his loot...

——But as his hand unintentionally touched the Viscount’s ring.

Suddenly, a screen of light flickered before him:

[Fragments of Truth discovered]

[Condition one: Currently not holding conflicting Pages of Truth]

[Condition two: Possessing a Rare Elite (purple) or higher template]

[Revelation of Truth——]

Then, a strong burst of white light suddenly exploded forth!

"...What is this!"

Annan’s pupils contracted as he realized something.

He immediately turned around and rushed to the door, securing it completely.

The next moment, the overflowing white light surged towards the sky, filling the entire manor and lasting for more than half a minute before gradually dissipating.

And the Viscount’s ring had already shattered.

Hovering before Annan’s eyes was that white page he had seen once before, paper-like yet with the texture of jade.

Dark golden text flowed across it like water ripples.

A light screen also emerged from it:

[Book of the Celestial Chariot, Page Four]

[Type: Fragments of Truth (1/6) (Unlocked)]

[Remaining Fragment Holders: 4]

[Revealed: 2]

[Description: A recently born Fragment of Truth, gather all fragments to wield new power]

"...Is this also part of the Book of the Celestial Chariot?"

Annan murmured to himself.

Just by looking at it, Annan could feel an intense sense of affinity.

He reached out and gently touched the page floating in the air, and it shattered and smoothly entered his body.

Then, a new line of text appeared before Annan’s eyes:

[Book of the Celestial Chariot (2/6): Summon or dismiss a specified number of players from another world (40/200)]

[Current effect (2/6): Players can be revived; Dungeon Experience Pool (1%)]

[Dungeon Experience Pool: Allows 1% of the experience gained by players from a dungeon, who are not higher level than oneself, to be stored in the Common Experience Pool. The stored experience in the Common Experience Pool can be allocated to any friendly unit (not limited to players)]

...Wait, not limited to players?

Hold on?

Annan suddenly froze.

Friendly unit, then...

Can I be considered my own friendly unit?

On the other side, Lin Yiyi habitually opened the forum.

After a careful check, she eventually found a "Live Streaming" button on the forum’s homepage.

Once she clicked in, she discovered that there were no rooms available for the moment.

Drawing on her instincts and experience, she immediately figured out how to use this feature—it was very similar to the UI layout of the streaming platform she often used.

She effortlessly started a live streaming room, naming it "Yiyi’s Streaming Function Test".

As Lin Yiyi watched over her own stream,

She saw herself live streaming her own stream... Layers upon layers in the streaming room quickly overlapped.

...Incredible, even this is the same?

She hurriedly shut down the streaming room but didn’t stop streaming; instead, she casually turned on the recording feature.

She wanted to see how much stream footage she could store.

Looking around... Excellent, no lag.

Of course, there shouldn’t be any lag...

But as expected, Lin Yiyi found the players all moving forward like zombies, head down, engrossed in the forum.

The two ordinary people walking with them seemed a bit frightened.

Lin Yiyi sighed.

As expected, with Tan Juan gone, everyone just does whatever they want...

Soon, she saw a line of text float before her eyes.

"Can you see this, Ah Gang?"

"Holy shit, this thing even has bullet screens?!"

She couldn’t help but blurt out.
