The Reborn of Cyberworld

Chapter 40 Apprentice Assessment (for further reading)

After Su Fan walked into the gate of the clock tower, his vision became dim, and there was a spiral upward staircase in front of him.

At different stages of the steps, there are extended corridors leading to various spaces of the bell tower.

On both sides of the entrance to the steps, there are a large number of oil paintings hanging. The most striking is a portrait of a brown-haired man in a brass-colored military uniform with firm temples. It is the founder of the Iris Club and canonized by Grand Duke Heiyan. Earl of Reims.

The bright red carpet is laid on the clean white tiles, and the room is filled with the fragrance of flowers, making it look extremely peaceful.

A waiter in black clothes stepped forward, bowed to him and said:
"Sir, please explain your purpose."

"I have come to pursue the glory of history and the buried truth."

Without hesitation, Su Fan spoke out the contact code of the 'Song of Gold' organization, which was the secret word Sophia left him.

At the same time, Su Fan also took out the iron badge and handed it to the black waiter.

"It turned out to be the respected master."

The face of the black waiter changed slightly, and he recognized Su Fan's badge, which was the apprentice status of the 'Song of Gold'.

As a secret storage organization spanning several divine domains, Song of Gold naturally possesses unimaginable forces and energies, and has branches in various regions.

The Iris Club in front of you is an outlying organization that serves the 'Golden Song', which can be understood as the relationship between knights and retinues.

— That is, the master-servant relationship.

Even if Su Fan is only an apprentice in the "Song of Gold", he is also the master of the Iris Club.

"Master, please follow me."

The black waiter bowed and saluted, then turned and walked towards the steps.

Su Fan followed behind him, and the two climbed up the stairs, all the way to the golden gate on the top floor.

The black waiter stepped forward and knocked a few times, and a dark space was recessed on the door, revealing eyes with scrutiny. The next moment, the other party handed out a pure white mask from the dark space, with a golden symbol on the brow, It is the symbol of the song of gold.

"Master, please take it with you to the party."

The black waiter came back with a mask and explained to him.

Su Fan reached out to take the mask and put it on his face. The next moment, a reminder came from his ear——

[Reminder: If you wear the special item Golden Secret Mask, the 'Secret Mask' effect will be automatically activated, which can block the perception of characters below the third level, and the other party will not be able to see your true appearance. Note: Plot characters above the third level will automatically immune effect. 】

Sure enough, the members of Song of Gold kept their identities secret from each other. Su Fan touched the mask on his face and murmured inwardly.

Except for the hidden teacher Sophia who guided him into the club, no one else would know Su Fan's identity. Similarly, Su Fan could not know their identities, and they were strangers who concealed each other.

in other words.

Even if Su Fan attended the party, he would not be able to know that the aborigines in Wansha City were members of the Golden Song, which protected their privacy to the greatest extent and ensured that everyone's identity would not be revealed.

Very thoughtful approach.

The only flaw is that this mask is only for Tier [-] and below.

If it's Sophia, like she has been promoted to a master of secret treasures, she can completely bypass the effect of the mask and directly spy on the true face of others.

However, it is difficult for a secret treasure master who has stepped into the third rank, not to mention the "Song of Gold" branch, even if it is set up in the secret treasure headquarters in Asgard, it is difficult to easily meet such a person, so the golden secret face is invalid The possibility is still very low.

After putting on the mask, Su Fan walked into the party behind the golden gate under the guidance of the black attendant.

[Reminder: You have entered the hidden map—Golden Song/Wansha City·Branch, this map is in the 'Story Exploration' mode. 】

[Reminder: Every time a member is revealed, you can get an exploration degree reward. When the exploration degree reaches more than 30%, it will trigger the plot event (unique) of this map. When the exploration degree reaches more than 70%, you can get the exclusive title. 】

Su Fan glanced at the panel, secretly stunned, not only the hidden map, but also plot events and exclusive title rewards.

As expected of the branch of Song of Gold.

In terms of progress, Su Fan is probably the first player to step here.

After all, no one can hook up with a Vault Master in the early stages of the game like him.

You know, Master of Secret Store is a Tier [-] powerhouse.

At least Lv.50 strength is required to be eligible to contact them. Su Fan was a coincidence and formed a friendship with Sophia before she was promoted. Just saying this is enough to make the wealthy guild explode with envy.

However, Su Fan was not in a hurry to explore, after all, in the eyes of other members, spying on their identities was a taboo act.

With a scrutiny in mind, Su Fan scanned the party hall. This place is similar to a bar, but it is quieter than a bar.

Members of Song of Gold sat down and drank.

From time to time, chat with people around you for information, or have a drink alone.

If there is someone who is drinking alone, you can come forward and chat, which may trigger commissions, or even plot tasks.

Su Fan ignored them, went straight to the bar, and introduced herself to Miss Cat Ears who was also wearing a mask:
"Newly recruited secret store apprentices, come to report."

"Hey, it's actually a newcomer." Miss Cat Ears looked at the name on the badge, and the next moment, she couldn't help but exclaimed: "The introducer, Sophia Ironlis... Wait, wait a minute! Could it be the newly promoted Vault Master?" , Ms. Sophia?!"

Because the golden secret face was half-faced, Su Fan was extremely surprised to see her mouth open wide.

"Yes, my secret treasure instructor is Sophia."

Su Fan nodded, thinking that Sophia's movements were really fast, no wonder when she returned to the headquarters, the whole territory knew that she had been promoted.

"Excuse me, Mr. Watcher. You can call me 'Cat Ears'."

Miss Cat Ears saluted, and then asked:

"According to the rules of the organization, you are eligible to receive a secret apprentice robe."

"But Song of Gold advocates the principle of equivalent exchange. If you want to get the apprentice robe, you still need to complete a commission."

After finishing speaking, Miss Cat Ears added:
"Of course, these commissions are only at the apprentice level, they are listed on the reward board—"

A bounty board was placed in front of him by Miss Cat Ears, which listed apprentice-level rewards: [The Mystery of the Gloria Opera House], [The Southern Train Murder Case], [The Identity of the Wine Thief], [The Secret Room Theft Case] 】.
These names look very decipherable.

That's right, as a secret organization that seeks out the ancient truth, Song of Gold's assessment of its members often focuses on the level of 'revealing secrets', that is, to test the members' observation skills and IQ. If they are entrusted, they will often trigger decryption tasks.

In the world of the old gods, there are many types of missions, not only the 'combat' type.

There are also special types such as decryption, acting, quiz and so on.

Right now, Su Fan has to face decryption commissions, and according to his rebirth experience, the simplest of the above commissions should be [Secret Room Theft], as long as the perpetrator is found out, the commission can be completed.

The most difficult commission was [The Identity of the Wine Thief]. Until his rebirth, this commission was an unsolved case.

No one has done it yet.

"The reward for the apprentice's robe is fixed, but the commission I choose is very particular. If the difficulty is higher, the more rewards you can get."

Su Fan thought about it for a while, and was about to choose the second difficulty [Mystery of the Ge Luo Opera House], when suddenly, Miss Mao Er took a step forward and pulled back the reward board, leaving only the [The Identity of the Wine Thief] ] Offer a reward page.

"As an apprentice recommended by the treasure master, there is an unwritten rule—"

"It must be the highest difficulty reward entrustment."

Facing Su Fan's surprised eyes, Miss Mao'er shrugged her shoulders and said helplessly:

"Mr. Spectator, this is your commission."

"Please find out the identity of the 'wine thief' in the party hall."
