Jiang Shu remembered that when he was in the Bureau of Different Systems, he heard the minister and Shen Mo mention that during the opening of the special incubation ground for ancestral spiritual roots, including the six-month warm-up period and the six-month open period, for a total of one year, the evolvers of the corresponding spiritual roots could obtain a certain amount of experience points and bonus points.

It now appears that the magnitude of this bonus is also linked to the quality of the spiritual root.

Since I possess the primordial spiritual root, the bonus is directly doubled.

However, there was one thing that puzzled Jiang Shu.

When navigating the [Creative Workshop], I only received the basic points, not doubled them.

However, the experience points still receive a 100% bonus from the Ancestral Spiritual Root.

"So, is the experience point bonus from the Ancestral Spiritual Root actually a permanent effect? ​​Is this also part of the wonderful uses of the Ancestral Spiritual Root?"

However, Jiang Shu didn't think much of it.

Anyway, as more and more guides are added to the incubation sites, we'll gradually be able to tell whether a site is permanent or not.

Moreover, he's not really that concerned about experience points and stats right now.

He was more concerned with other things.

The real highlight is the other generous rewards, such as items and skills, as well as the special items mentioned by Strawberry Milkshake that can enhance the characteristics of the sublimated spiritual root.

[Basic Reward Items]

[Absolutely True Balance]

[Level: Catastrophe]

[Description: Trust can only be earned through equal exchange.]

[How to use: Within its effective range, it can verify whether the other party is telling the truth or lying. If it is determined to be lying, you can choose to apply the active effect - Lies Prohibited]

[Lies Prohibited: Causes the other party to feel guilty and upset, temporarily reducing all attribute values ​​by 30%]

[Note: Bad children who lie will be punished!]

Following the instructions of the bewildered one, Jiang Shu went to the Temple of Lies and used the anti-magic stone to upgrade the [Scales of Truth]. The original grade changed from Calamity to Disaster, and the name changed to [Scales of Absolute Truth].

Its effect is far more powerful than before. Not only does it not require you to tell a truth containing the same amount of information to verify it, but like the anti-magic stone, it can severely punish liars.

It's like carrying a magic-suppressing stone with you.

This is exactly what Jiang Shu needs. With it, no matter who he is dealing with, he can easily tell whether what the other party says is true or false during negotiations. Even if he cannot know the truth, at least he will never be deceived.

This avoids the possibility of becoming a pawn or even cannon fodder.

The only drawback is that it only works face-to-face. If the other party texts or calls you on April Fool's Day, you could still be fooled.

Furthermore, if the other party lies, a percentage-based debuff can be applied, amounting to a full 30%, which is a very considerable number.

In short, ever since he obtained the upgraded [Absolute Truth Balance], Jiang Shu has been thinking about how to integrate it into his monkey show system.

However, there's a problem now...

"No." Jiang Shu was taken aback: "You don't want your mom anymore? This was originally mine, why would you give it to me as a reward?"

So, after successfully completing the strategy, you can take the [Scales of Truth] out as a bound item? Is that what it means?

Doesn't that mean I just received it ahead of time...?

No, that's not right.

Jiang Shu, who was initially dissatisfied, suddenly thought of something and calmed down.

If I don't use the temple's anti-magic stone to upgrade it, will the basic reward item I get be the calamity-level [Scales of Truth]?

Is this the reason why the confused person deliberately reminds themselves to upgrade before leaving the incubator?

If that's really the case, then how did the bewildered person manage to give themselves the items that were supposed to be a reward, and how did they know that the reward could be upgraded?

Meanwhile, Jiang Shu, who had already explored the advanced incubator several times, discovered that the rewards of the incubator were actually linked to some of the incubator's content.

For example, the [Undead Puppet Technique] is actually related to the methods used by creative craftsmen to transform dolls. The [Insurance Continent] has five insurance techniques, so the Five Poison Lotus obtained can gain benefits from five negative statuses.

The effect of the [Absolute Truth Balance] is similar to that of the Anti-Magic Stone, and it seems to have no problems.

But if you think about it carefully, you'll find something's not right.

The Anti-Magic Stone was established by the Crimson Robe in conjunction with the Royal Court after the Confusion Conquest Hatchery.

Of course, the possibility that confusion played a part cannot be ruled out, after all, he seemed to be able to enter and leave the incubator at will.

Shen Mo once said that there can only be one highest-level reward produced by an item-type incubator. Although [Lies Town] is not an item incubator, judging from the fact that other incubators disappear after completion, there should be a commonality among them.

However, Lie Town was conquered twice.

One time it was confusion, and the other time it was Jiang Shu himself.

There's no doubt that you'll get a reward for your first playthrough, but strangely enough, Jiang Shu also gets a reward.

In response, Jiang Shu naturally recalled his previous feeling—that the incubator of [Lies Town] seemed to be alive and capable of self-correction.

Therefore, the only possibility is that the two entered at different timelines, resulting in different tasks and rewards.

So here's the question: what reward did the bewildered person receive?

Or rather, what should the rewards for [Liestown] have originally been?

Unfortunately, these questions probably won't be answered in the short term.

Perhaps only when I reach the same level as him, or at least obtain the same access card, will I have a chance to understand a thing or two?

So Jiang Shu could only put aside these doubts for the time being, shake his head regretfully, and continue reading.

[Hidden Reward]

【Essence of Love and Desire*1 (Bound)】

[Level: Catastrophe]

[How to use: The holder can use this item during ascension to upgrade the grade of the existing Love and Desire Spiritual Root trait. If the trait has already reached the highest level, another trait will be randomly obtained.]

[Note: Those who are not evolved from the Love and Desire Spiritual Root cannot take it away from the incubation site.]

"Um..."

Jiang Shu fell into deep thought.

Is this a reward regenerated by the incubator, or is it that the bewildered one, whose mastery of the calamity-level skill is clearly related to the wisdom spiritual root, was not an evolutionary of the love and desire spiritual root, so it was not taken away and left to remain until now?

Jiang Shu leans more towards the second possibility.

For the same reason, the rewards produced by the incubator must be related to the incubator itself.

The hidden reward is the essence of the Love and Desire Spiritual Root, so the main theme of the Hatchery should also be closely related to Love and Desire.

However, in this incubator, he couldn't see many factors related to the pursuit of pleasure and desire. On the contrary, the past era that Da Hong Pao described was more in line with the characteristics of love and desire.

And this hidden reward perfectly proves that Jiang Shu's intuition was correct—this hatchery is no longer the original hatchery.

If he is the first evolver to conquer this incubator, then what awaits him should be an era of more interesting and more insane delusional poets.

Everyone who sees it has to say, "It's so much fun!"

Instead of becoming like it is now, full of deceit and intrigue, which, while interesting in some ways, doesn't feel as pure anymore.

Whether it was a misperception or something else, Jiang Shu couldn't help but think of Da Hong Pao and the ideological differences that made him feel lost.

The former shared the same idea, but the latter believed that the fun of deception lay in the deception itself and in the battle of wits involved.

"Could it be a case of cultural invasion..."

Is the town of lies already in a state of confusion?

It has transformed from an incubator with a strong emphasis on eroticism into an incubator with a higher proportion of intellectual content.

Was it done unintentionally out of confusion, or was there some ulterior motive involved?

Jiang Shu had a very intuitive feeling that there were serious problems with this hatchery.

As an evolved being, the things that Confusion is capable of seem to be beyond imagination.

It's like a gamer who, while playing, ended up remaking the game entirely – it's just not logical.

Furthermore, if I remember correctly, Mi Wang also mentioned that he would come to [Town of Lies], one of the reasons being that he knew Jiang Shu had entered it.

He seemed to know far more about the incubator than the Bureau of Different Systems.

At least, it's more than what I currently know from the Bureau of Different Lineages.

"Confused..."

Jiang Shu murmured the name once, then completely left the incubator.

......

The Tang Dynasty in its golden age.

Jiang Shu disappeared and entered the hatchery's floor.

The floor where the restaurant is located is usually busiest around 7 or 8 pm on weekdays.

But at that moment, all was silent; you could hear a pin drop.

But it's not because there's no one here; on the contrary, there are quite a few people gathered here at this time.

No one spoke; they were all intently gathered around the table where Jiang Shu had eaten yesterday, waiting quietly.

The church's restaurant remained closed to the public for the entire day, citing renovations as the reason for its closure.

Shen Mo sat by the window, facing the table, his hands clasped in front of his chest, looking serious.

Adding to the fact that Jiang Shu accidentally entered [Insurance Continent] yesterday, he hasn't slept for two days and two nights.

After obtaining detailed information about [Town of Lies] from Consultant Liu last night, he greeted the Minister and the Holy Temple before coming here to wait.

Although he had a feeling that Jiang Shu was likely in grave danger this time—

After all, Jiang Shu has the Courage Spirit Root, so he's good at fighting, but he definitely can't beat an Evolver with the Love and Desire Spirit Root, let alone the Hatchery, which even an Evolver with the Love and Desire Spirit Root can't handle.

But he still stayed there, clinging to a sliver of hope.

Beside him stood Consultant Liu, leaning against the wall.

Her expression was calm, and she didn't seem to be in a hurry.

In fact, she was here simply to wait for a predictable outcome.

Once the results were in, she expressed her regret to the Bureau of Different Principles, and her mission was over.

She didn't need to do anything extra; she just needed to let the Bureau of Foreign Affairs know that she cared about it, and that would be enough.

Opposite the two was the anxious Snow King and her mother, who was trying to comfort her.
