Chapter 210: Loading the Probability of Being a Noob!
“Lunchtime has arrived, Mr. Moriarty.”
Normally, it would be a maid from Lady Helen’s household calling Bai Yan for his meal, but today, Sylve was the one waiting outside the door.
Recently, after Bai Yan’s successful adjustment to her training, Sylve had not only become diligent in her studies but had also become very obedient towards her ‘Teacher Moriarty.’
“Well, I know now, Sylve.”
Bai Yan glanced at his phone, noticing that he had already unlocked the “White Achievement – Cult Cleaner” and earned 150 Source Energy Points.
This meant that Alan had completed his task. With the points in hand, Bai Yan had enough for a ten-consecutive draw.
He didn’t rush to summon, but calmly left his room. First, he patted Sylve’s head, who had lowered hers, and then they went to the restaurant together.
Lady Helen sat elegantly at the head of the table in her deep blue autumn attire, smiling at Bai Yan.
“Mr. Moriarty has really worked hard during this period.”
“It’s nothing. I don’t feel very tired. Although Sylve’s talent isn’t exceptional, she works hard… which reassures me.”
Bai Yan smiled back and chatted with Lady Helen while eating.
When Sylve heard her effort being praised, her eyes sparkled with joy.
She had originally been terrified of Mr. Moriarty, but recently she realized that he wasn’t a sadist, just very strict.
“I got punished because I wasn’t good enough!”
But now, she understood: if she met his expectations through more effort, she wouldn’t be punished. She might even receive a reward…
Punishments were for mistakes, and rewards were for good performance. Bai Yan only followed the simplest form of clear rewards and punishments.
After dinner, Lady Helen left early, having business to attend to. Meanwhile, Bai Yan took out a small pendant made of green stone and handed it to Sylve, who was sitting next to him.
He spoke calmly:
“This is a Relic called ‘Green Heart.’ It has enough defensive power to withstand bullet impacts, but the cost is that the wearer loses a night’s sleep each time they are attacked. Still, this is a small price compared to being injured.”
Sylve froze, her voice filled with confusion as she asked, “Is this for me, Mr. Moriarty?”
“Yes.”
Bai Yan nodded gently and added, “You have worked hard, and you know how to improve. I’ve seen your efforts.”
He deliberately softened his tone.
Money was no issue for Bai Yan, and ordinary Relics could be bought. This level of Relic wouldn’t help much in Crown-level battles, so he gave Sylve one he no longer needed.
It was a way to deepen her sense of ‘trust.’
Sylve, overcome with emotion, trembled and nearly burst into tears. “Thank you! Thank you so much!”
She was thrilled. Her hard work had been recognized. With great care, she put the pendant away.
Well, ‘trust’ and ‘happiness’ were almost achieved—just a little more.
Bai Yan paid her no further attention, shaking his head and walking away.
As an experimental subject, Sylve could be considered a competent ‘little bunny.’ She was diligently assisting him with the Crown Ceremony and had many uses for him.
Now wasn’t the time to explain the ‘truth’ or make distinctions.
When the moment was right, her ‘sorrow’ and ‘hatred’ would emerge.
The Puppet Dance ritual required ‘Moriarty’ to be the emotional target of Sylve.
Bai Yan didn’t return to his room. Instead, he went to the villa’s yard, standing calmly under the shade of a tree. He pulled out his phone.
“Alright, let’s begin.”
Time for summoning!
This time, he would draw from the “Different Dimensions” pool.
Very familiar with this, Bai Yan clicked on the summon interface and started the ten-consecutive draw. His mood wasn’t as excited as it used to be.
First summon!
“Possibility! Fairy Tale Demon King – Queen of the Scarlet Moon (Seven Days)”
Bai Yan paused. This was the same skin he had drawn last time during the Skin Pool—Fairy Tale Demon King, Queen of the Scarlet Moon, in the first pull.
Two seven-day periods combined made it permanent.
“Phew, now I have this skin, and I already have nine fragments… very good. Too good.”
For some reason, an unsettling thought flashed through Bai Yan’s mind.
What if… What if, in future gachapon pools, he couldn’t draw the final fragment of the Queen of the Scarlet Moon, no matter how much he tried or how many Source Energy Points he spent?
Even when the Queen’s initial strength was no longer important in the later stages of Babel Tower, what if he suddenly drew her out…?
“……”
He fell silent, the thought too terrifying to continue. It was like spilling an entire night’s worth of dishes—he couldn’t bear to think any further.
He quickly clicked the second hidden card face.
Second summon!
“Potentiality! Dream Voyeur • Truth Scholar (7 Days)”
This was a specialized skin of Truth Scholar, Dream Voyeur. It represented her role in this world line—abandoning her original position of observing all truths to instead record and organize the world through letters. She became obsessed with the dream world, endlessly peering into it.
In this world line, Truth Scholar was linked to the “Nightmare King” among the Outer Gods, granting unimaginable power in the dream world. However, in the real world, Truth Scholar was powerless, frailer than an ordinary person.
“Similar to ‘Psychic Dancer,’ true strong ones aren’t greatly affected in the mind domain… However, this skin’s ability module can still be useful in many situations.”
Third summon!
“World Line Change Fragment · Shadow Kingdom×1”
“Why this again… Is there someone in the Shadow Kingdom waiting for me?”
Never-ending, as always. But I can always discard this later.
Bai Yan shook his head.
Fourth summon!
“World Line Change Fragment · Shadow Kingdom×1”
What is going on?
“Okay then.”
Bai Yan sighed, deciding to let this memory slip away.
Fifth summon!
“World Line Change Fragment · Sky Garden×1”
Sixth summon!
“World Line Change Fragment · Minoan Labyrinth×1”
Seventh summon!
“World Line Change Fragment – Pyramid of the Sun×1”
The continuous appearance of these World Line Change Fragments made Bai Yan increasingly dissatisfied. While witnessing something extraordinary would be great, who would want just a mere one-tenth of a fragment?
Eighth summon!
“World Line Change Fragment – Parc des Ailes×1”
Are all the remaining summons going to be World Line Change Fragments?
Bai Yan’s heart skipped a beat.
According to legend, Canglong had helped those crossing the river to arrive at a vast grey plain called the “Field of Truth.” This path led to two destinations: one was the place of happiness, Parc des Ailes, and the other led to the place of pain—Hell.
Souls were judged by the three underworld judges, Minos, Radamanthus, and Aeacus, at the judgment platform before the Field of Truth. The guilty were punished in Hell, while the innocent could enjoy happiness in Parc des Ailes.
Bai Yan recalled that Parc des Ailes was something he hadn’t encountered during his first playthrough, and he was unsure of its effects.
Ninth summon!
“World Line Change Fragment · Tartarus×1”
Well, Hell’s coming too.
Although Tartarus was a relatively good Wonder Fragment, Bai Yan still felt uneasy about it.
Tenth summon!
“World Line Change Fragment – Pyramid of the Sun×1”
Bai Yan took a deep breath and went to wash his hands outside in the bathroom.
“Okay. Now you can change your discard. Three chances left… It’s fine…”
“I just hope I won’t always be this unlucky,” he muttered, smiling bitterly at his reflection in the bathroom mirror.
He selected three useless fragments: “Sky Garden,” “Pyramid of the Sun,” and “Minoan Labyrinth.”
“Change discard!”
Redraw!
