645, So you also can't see the emperor's new clothes?! [Second update]_1

Lin Yi looked at the panel.

[Blood Loss: 516435]

[Remaining Health: 883043213654]

[Damage Level: Gold (Junior)]

[Random Reward: Revealing Secrets Makes You Stronger]

[Host Reward: Revealing Secrets Makes You Stronger (No Critical Strike)]

This reward... Lin Yi's eyes narrowed, this reward truly smelled like a transmigrator's golden finger, too thrilling.

He opened the reward annotation to check it out.

After a moment, Lin Yi said to Emperor Xueye, "Damage 516435, Golden Junior, your reward is a trait named Revealing Secrets Makes You Stronger."

What?!

Regret of the Arrogant Dragon 516k?

Bi Bidong was somewhat surprised; she didn't think it was high but rather too low, far too low!

This 516k damage was after Emperor Xueye disguised himself as a beggar to get the bonus; hence, his original damage of Regret of the Arrogant Dragon was probably only around 300k!

And Bi Bidong's damage for Regret of the Arrogant Dragon was a fixed 400k, which could be increased to 600k if the opponent had a dragon bloodline.

However, well... Emperor Xueye had more than just one style; he had up to the 18th style.

So Bi Bidong was only happy for a moment before suddenly not feeling so happy anymore.

...

Hearing the name of the reward, for a moment, Emperor Xueye didn't understand what revealing secrets meant.

Lin Yi, seeing the confusion on his face, explained, "Revealing secrets means to disclose something or the truth that is not commonly known to the public."

"Disclosing the truth is bound to surprise people, so this reward will relate to a Surprise Value. If the revealed secret is surprising enough, the value will be exceptionally high, though the maximum is 10000. The Surprise Value divided by 100 is the damage bonus percentage you will gain."

Emperor Xueye was quick on the uptake and almost understood after Lin Yi explained this much.

Lin Yi, "Each reveal gives a one-time percentage increase in damage. Each attack consumes this percentage; if you don't attack, the damage percentage remains permanently. Of course, before each attack, you can freely choose whether or not to use the damage bonus from the last reveal. If you use it, it's gone; if you don't, it remains."

"If you haven't used the damage bonus percentage from the previous reveal, even if you reveal again and produce a Surprise Value, you won't get another damage bonus percentage."

After listening to Lin Yi's detailed explanation, Emperor Xueye expressed that he had fully grasped the rules of the reward.

Lin Yi, "Each time you reveal, the Surprise Value will appear in your mind. You can try it in advance, get a feel for what level of reveal corresponds to what Surprise Value."

Emperor Xueye nodded.

But he soon realized, wasn't this equivalent to publicly disclosing his secrets in front of everyone?

Emperor Xueye quickly asked, "Senior Lin Yi! Are there always supposed to be listeners when I reveal?"

This question was crucial!

Lin Yi nodded, "Yes, there must be at least one person listening."

The corners of Emperor Xueye's mouth twitched visibly.

Using this reward in the future meant finding a trustworthy person to reveal secrets to, but speaking a few secrets today without revealing them seemed like a difficult way to end things.

Emperor Xueye, with an awkward smile on his face, said, "Senior Lin Yi, let me just reveal once. My analytical ability is strong; understanding the connection between the level of reveal and the Surprise Value will be quick with just one reveal."

Lin Yi shook his head, "Once is too few, comparison is key for better analysis. At the very least, you must reveal twice, and you have to clearly differentiate the severity of the two reveals in advance."

Emperor Xueye, "...Fine, I'll reveal twice then."

His reply received an expressionless response from Lin Yi.

Emperor Xueye gritted his teeth, "Fine... fine, I'll decide on the level of the reveal, do it three times, and then analyze the pattern."

Damn it... Emperor Xueye couldn't help but feel Lin Yi purely wanted to hear his secrets.

Actually, he felt he wasn't wrong.

Just as Lin Yi's curiosity was piqued, this guy only wants to come clean once?!

Absolutely not allowed!

Emperor Xueye hesitated, as he couldn't think of any secrets that hadn't been revealed, let alone ones that would cause varying degrees of surprise with each of the three revelations needing to progressively increase in their surprise value.

After a moment, he said, "There is one thing—"

Lin Yi interrupted, "When revealing secrets, you have to start with 'I come clean..." and then reveal the undisclosed matter."

Emperor Xueye nodded lifelessly.

"I come clean, when I was a child I secretly stole my cousin's socks and kept them."

Upon hearing this, everyone's expressions suddenly turned odd, and the next second many people began to laugh and talk, occasionally looking at Emperor Xueye with strange glances.

"Royal Cousins can marry each other! Besides, I was young then, I just developed a certain dependence on my cousin, nothing happened between us!"

Emperor Xueye said hurriedly, feeling it necessary to explain himself.

"But what we are concerned about isn't that, we are concerned that His Majesty actually likes to collect socks!"

"Hahaha!"

...

Emperor Xueye's face flushed with embarrassment as he heard the laughter below.

To be honest, for someone of his age, it was mortifying to have such foolish childhood actions drag his name through the mud.

Just then, he saw the surprise value displayed in his mind.

[Surprise Value: 2467]

That was the surprise value, and if converted to a damage bonus percentage it was 24.67, indeed this revelation was expected to be one of the lower values, not far off from what Emperor Xueye had anticipated.

As for the second revelation, Emperor Xueye had already come up with something.

He then released a Skill into the Air, using up the just revealed damage bonus percentage.

He continued, "I come clean, the emperor's new clothes I received last time, I couldn't see them at all! Couldn't even touch them! Because I heard many people say they could see them, I was afraid of being considered a fool, so I lied about seeing them."

After hearing this, the scene suddenly fell silent for a moment, quickly followed by various exclamations of surprise.

"Damn!"

"Me too!"

"What?! Are we all the same?!"

"I lied back then because I was afraid Senior Lin Yi would think I'm dumb..."

"Me too!"

"Shit! I thought all of you could see it, and I was the only one who couldn't!"

...

The discussion on this topic was extremely lively, it seemed this revelation truly took them by surprise.

Emperor Xueye looked on in astonishment at the scene below.

Soon, the surprise value for this time appeared in his mind.

[Surprise Value: 7896]

Emperor Xueye was dumbfounded.

Were they really that surprised?! The surprise value jumped to nearly eight thousand! Such a huge increase!

This turned Emperor Xueye's original plan on its head, it seemed he would have to change his third revelation...

Otherwise, the progress in surprise value definitely wouldn't be satisfactory.
