He lay on Easy Chair of Terrace and carefully felt the changes after Advancement.

Capacity improvement is mainly reflected in four aspects:

First, strengthen your own charm.

This does not refer to a change in appearance, but a kind of temperament and a feeling. When dealing with other people, you become more approachable and easier to gain the trust of others.

Second, eloquence.

It includes two aspects.

It can not only improve your speaking skills, but also add convincing extraordinary effects.

The former can make Lorry more talkative and observant, easily discover the other party's weaknesses, and construct targeted logical traps so that the other party can be led by the nose without knowing it.

The latter is relatively simple and crude, making people want to obey involuntarily.

Third, mislead thinking, by giving hints through words, actions, demeanor, environment, etc., to make the other party enter "thinking misunderstandings". You can also directly use the corresponding Beyonder Ability.

Fourth, apply Mental Interference to the target to cause certain hallucinations.

"Uh, so weak--except for Mental Interference, which can barely be considered an offensive method, the other three abilities are more auxiliary and almost entirely serve the name Potion.

"Why did I become Half a Marauder" when I traveled through time?"

After checking out his new abilities, Lorry lay in Easy Chair with blank eyes and looked up at the sky. Advancement's joy was even diluted a lot by this.

But this depression did not last long.

Soon, he regained his energy and began to think about how to act.

"Judging from the name Potion, there is only one word at its core: "Liar!"

"When Advancement succeeded, Spirituality was the most enthusiastic moment, and I noticed that Swindler"Potion had a faint sign of digestion.

"Does it come from previous experiences and is it a kind of advance acting?"

Lorry refers to the time when Hugh was following him. He used "Shadow Ring" to disguise himself as the powerful Beyonder, scaring the other party into fleeing in panic.

In addition, there is some weaker feedback.

Lorry guessed that they might come from Lie or disguised in daily life, but since they were really not worth mentioning, they did not waste time tracing the source.

I need to design several plans to help me digest Potion----but before that, I have to further explore the essence, and can't just stick to the name----

Practice makes the difference----I'd better try something soon----

But who should be used for the experiment----

He muttered silently to himself, and names appeared in his mind one by one. After eliminating inappropriate targets, the picture finally settled into a silhouette.

No, it may not be appropriate to describe it as a human figure.

To be more precise, it is a humanoid outline wrapped in thick Gray Fog.

"The great God shouldn't mind His pious Believer's little joke, right?" Lorry chuckled and murmured, stood up and walked to the desk.

He took out a pen and paper, cleared his mind, and then began to write casually, "Ah, Rihu and Hungry have invited us to the mansion."

Of course, Chinese characters are used.

The rustling sound continued, and similar content quickly filled the entire page.

Lorry blew on the ink, looked at his work with satisfaction, then put it aside and continued to copy the operation just now.

After a while, a thick pile was piled up.

"To a certain extent, this is not considered fake. Anyway, you guys can't understand it. Of course, except for this guy Klein.

"Similarly, it is precisely for this reason that although the emperor has many admirers, there are not so many people who are willing to buy his notes at a high price.

"The market is still too small----otherwise, why would I copy novels? I would have made a fortune long ago with this seamless counterfeiting technology----"

He muttered and put "Roselle's Diary" into the drawer, intending to find a suitable time to put them in each Beyonder Gathering.

By the way, this guy Klein is currently in Backlund----I'd better transfer a few more hands and find someone to trade in other places, so as not to make someone get angry after breaking the defense and come to check Gas Meter----

With this in mind, Lorry returned to Easy Chair to take a lunch break.

Around four o'clock in the afternoon.

Lorry was woken up by the Doorbell sound and the barking of dogs downstairs.

He opened his eyes, quickly regained consciousness, got up and went downstairs to Door Opening.

"Lieutenant Colonel?"

After Door Opening, Lorry asked in surprise.

He knew very well that Raven and Pseudonym could not hide it from MI9, but he did not expect that Lieutenant Colonel would come to visit without contacting him in advance.

"You have a dog? What's his name?"

Vera sat on Sofa and glanced at the black dog in the corner of Restaurant.

With just a calm look, he frightened the black dog, which was jumping up and down and yelling, so it suddenly became smart and lay down with its tail between its legs.

This guy's senses are quite sharp----Lorry also looked back at the black dog, handed a glass of water to Vera, and casually said, "Albert."

This was the name he had just thought of before he had time to tell the other party.

Vera nodded slightly, then looked silently at the steaming white water.

Lieutenant Colonel, don't get me wrong! I swear I'm not taking revenge on you----Mr. Miles drank all the coffee powder and tea left by the previous tenant----

Lorry argued crazily in his heart.

He coughed lightly, breaking Restaurant's quiet and even eerie atmosphere. "Lieutenant Colonel, why did you come to me all of a sudden? Is there anything urgent?"

Huh----Vera took a deep breath, sipped his saliva and said, "I just met other Informant nearby, and suddenly I remembered that your residence is not far away, so I stopped by to see if you were at home.

"It's not an emergency, but it's bad news.

"Especially for you"

He paused slightly, looked into Lorry's dark eyes and sighed, "If I had known you were Advancement today, I wouldn't have come here to ruin your good mood."

"Tracing Marauder" follow-up Potion Formula's colleagues sent a telegram back this morning, saying that they had confirmed that the clue was a trap.

"I'm afraid you need to find your own way to find Subsequent Potion Formula.

Lorry was startled, then silent for a few seconds, and nodded gently. "Okay, I understand."

Vera chuckled, stretched out his hand and patted Lorry's shoulder twice. "You are maintaining a good attitude. I was already prepared to comfort you."

"It's just that one clue has been broken. Maybe there will be other opportunities in the future. I will also help you pay attention to the follow-up Formula""

As he spoke, he drank the water in the glass in one gulp, then stood up and said, "I'll leave first if I have something else to do."

"Ahem, by the way, the negative effects of Mystical Item will be resolved as soon as possible. I will need to travel far away to perform a mission in a while.

"How about it? Doesn't it feel good to swim in the ocean of knowledge?"

Lorry said quietly, "If Lieutenant Colonel also wants to travel, I can return it to you in advance."

Hearing this, Vera's expression froze, and fear of Exam seemed to flash across his eyes.

The two looked at each other and fell into silence.

After a while.

Lorry sent his superiors to leave and returned to the Sofa area.

"Da, da, da----"

Amidst the rhythm of tapping Tea Table with his finger bones, he slowly opened his eyes and looked at East Borough with many chimneys erected in the distance.

"No matter how carefully you consider it, your plan will never keep up with the changes----"

Lorry smiled bitterly to himself, as if he had made some kind of determination, picked up the water glass and drank it all, then got up and walked to the second floor.

He plans to study Mysticism Notes for two hours first, and then go to Mr. A's party tonight to look for Ms. "Seer".
