BXBX NOVEL Chapter 547: 176.DSMI_3
In theory, if Noland Lee had no moral bottom line, he could completely cooperate with the Impostor Supervisor and drain the gold coins from the spectators’ pockets.
But he is not like that.
When he heard that the other party planned to have him play in a fake race, Noland Lee had already had the idea of refusal in his heart.
He started organizing words in his mind when a system message emerged without any warning.
[Warning!]
[“Synthetic Human Dsmi-32 Species” is performing an “Ultrasonic Examination” on you.]
[System prediction: after the “Ultrasonic Examination” is over, some of your basic attribute values will be mastered by the “Synthetic Human Dsmi-32 Species”.]
Noland Lee remained calm like an undisturbed lake, even though his heart was filled with thunderous emotions.
He slightly lowered his head, staring at the contract terms on the sheepskin scroll, looking like he was just intently listening to the explanation by the Impostor Supervisor.
The system message in his mind didn’t end.
[“Ultrasonic Examination” progress 1%…2%…3%…]
Noland Lee was familiar with the so-called ultrasonic examination, which was used to inspect internal organs, blood vessels, heart, muscles, and bones.
Before crossing into this world, Noland Lee used to have a medical exam every year, so he was quite familiar with the ultrasonic examination.
In theory, ultrasonic examinations could only obtain basic attribute values related to physical fitness such as “Tenacity”, “Strength”, “Agility”, and “vitality”.
For mental-level basic attributes like “Spirit” and “willpower”, ultrasonic examinations should be unable to obtain attribute values.
It didn’t seem necessary to take any action to hide physical fitness data… Noland Lee pondered for half a second and decided not to resist.
As time went on, the progress of the “Ultrasonic Examination” reached 100%.
The system issued a prompt, informing Noland that his basic attribute data related to physical fitness had been acquired by the Impostor Supervisor.
After another half minute, the Impostor Supervisor finished introducing the contents of the contract and waited for Noland’s response with a seemingly friendly smile.
“So, Sir, are you satisfied with such a magic contract? I guarantee that after fulfilling the obligations on the contract, you will receive at least 20,000 gold coins as your remuneration. I swear by the name of the Barron Championship that everything will be kept secret for you, and I will never mention the contract to anyone.”
Your reputation as an impostor supervisor means nothing… Noland Lee shook his head slightly and said:
“No, Director Sybindes…”
The “Hatred Value” began to rise, with an increase of about 1000 points.
“As I mentioned before, I am a law-abiding and scrupulous wizard who values my reputation. Don’t get me wrong, this is not an excuse for me to ask for more rewards, I am just stating the facts…”
The “Hatred Value” continued to rise, soaring by 3000 points in an instant.
Noland remained unfazed, and calmly said:
“I refuse your proposal, Director Sybindes. Furthermore, I will report your actions to Captain Berkeley.”
The “Hatred Value” surged by 8000 points. This was even more significant and higher than the previous increase from the contestants learning about Denise Green’s identity.
Noland faintly saw the bulging blue veins on the Impostor Supervisor’s forehead.
The Impostor Supervisor took a tissue from his pocket, wiped his forehead, and said with a forced smile:
“I understand your actions, Sir. Um… let’s do this. We’ll sign another contract.”
The Impostor Supervisor took back the contract on the table and replaced it with a shorter one in front of Noland.
“This is a magic contract involving confidentiality agreements. After signing it, you need to keep the confidentiality of our conversations and not mention them to anyone. The contract will last until you and your Companion Witches disembark. You will receive 3000 gold coins as a reward for keeping our secrets.”
Noland glanced at the not-so-excessive contract and a faint smile appeared on his lips:
“Your contract doesn’t specify the details of how to determine the source of leaked information. If you release the news yourself and then blame it on me, according to the contract, I have to pay you a fine of 30,000 gold coins. Director Sybindes, do you take me for a fool who just embarked on the journey?”
The “Hatred Value” rose again, gaining an additional 2000 points.
Noland couldn’t help but sigh secretly that if the stocks he bought before crossing had this kind of growth, he would have been living in a mansion by now.
Without waiting for the Impostor Supervisor to speak, Noland raised his right hand, stopping the other party’s words, and spoke first:
“Let’s do this, Director Sybindes: Let’s drop this matter here and now. We each take a step back. I will withdraw from the competition, and you will refund my entry fee. We will not interfere with each other. As long as you don’t resort to dirty tricks against me and my Companion Witch, no one will know about the dark side of the Barron Championship until we disembark.”
After finishing his words, Noland reached into the pocket that the Impostor Supervisor had brought out and took out several gold coins with his fingers.
The total value of these gold coins was just equal to the entry fee, including the one with some unusual deconstruction feedback. This was intentional by Noland.
The Impostor Supervisor glanced at the gold coins held by Noland’s fingertips without a trace, squeezed a smile on his chubby face, and said with a bitter smile:
“Alright, Sir. Let’s put an end to this matter. I see no reason to refuse your proposal.”
The Impostor Supervisor stood up, opened the door, and gestured for Noland to leave with his arm.
Without any further communication, Noland left the office.
The “Hatred Value” remained unchanged, staying at a high level of 34,000 points. It is estimated that when the Barron Championship announces Noland’s withdrawal from the competition, the Hatred Value from the participants will decrease.
Noland found Denise Green waiting for him in the spectator stand and left the Barron Championship Field with her.
The Impostor Supervisor watched Noland and Denise walk away, and his smile quickly faded.
He gestured to a few figures lingering in the competition field and went into the Director’s Office with them.
What they didn’t know was that the magic of magic lay in its diversity and excellent adaptability to the environment.
A 100-level “Mind Beacon” was silently watching their every move in a corner of the Supervisor’s Office.
Perhaps high-level wizards can detect this beacon. The Impostor Supervisor and the other Synthetic Humans were obviously not among those who could discover this Mind Beacon.
As long as Noland doesn’t rashly use “Mind View” to observe them, this beacon will be difficult for anyone to find.
