That would be according to what Bai Daoren of the Shadow Society said, there was an internal test before the game.

The previous owner of the parchment, the one called [The Cheater], was an internal test player.

She should know the abilities of the parchment. Where is that cheater now? What is their relationship with the United Society? Was she turned into a vegetable by the United Society? That's why she didn't tell the United Society the true abilities of the parchment?

For a moment, Fang Yue thought a lot.

The Sign President, seeing that Fang Yue was not speaking, slowly opened his mouth.

"As far as I know, the parchment is just a strange object that can predict the short-term future of its holder."

"In terms of function, it transcends the ordinary, and can be called a transcendence-level strange object. Although it was said to be a Rain-level strange object when we obtained it from the Cheater, we later internally classified it as a transcendence-level."

"However, unlike the terrifying ability to predict the future in terms of function, the parchment provides no help in terms of actual combat power. At least, that's according to the information provided by the Cheater."

"And from the changes in you, I see another possibility. I want to know, what kind of mutation has occurred in the parchment, or is there something special about you?"

Fang Yue was stunned. They thought it was transcendence-level just because of the parchment's predictive abilities?

They really knew very little about the parchment.

And... The Cheater...

"What is the relationship between your United Society and the Cheater? How did you bring strange objects from the game into the real world? What did you use to interfere with the predictive abilities of the parchment?"

Hearing Fang Yue's question, the Sign President was slightly startled, and then smiled.

"You know quite a lot."

"But why should I tell you? Unless, you are willing to answer questions with me. I ask and you answer, you answer and I ask, one question each, how about it?"

Fang Yue was silent, weighed the pros and cons, and shook his head.

"I will not answer any of your questions, and you do not need to answer any of my questions. I want to join the United Society, work for the United Society, and your United Society will protect my friends and family. Our relationship is only that."

"...You really don't play by the rules. How about this, you answer one of my questions, and I will answer three of yours."

Fang Yue couldn't help but be a little tempted "...Is your question still the previous one?"

"No, I want to ask... did the parchment appear in the game?"

Fang Yue:?!

His pupils slightly contracted, Fang Yue pondered for a while, and slowly nodded: "It did appear in the game."

"As expected!"

The Sign President looked at Fang Yue in disbelief: "You have already signed a contract with the parchment! I never thought that the person the parchment would ultimately take a liking to would be an outsider..."

Contract?

Fang Yue suddenly thought... the parchment seemed to always say that her previous owner was a vegetable, sleeping.

Fang Yue had always thought that the parchment was a slag woman type, seamlessly changing owners.

But now it seems... the timeline between him and the previous owner of the parchment is not short.

Internal test... When was the internal test for this game? I've never heard of it.

And from the Sign President's words, it seems that the parchment had not signed a contract with anyone for a long time after the previous owner!

No wonder the people of the United Society knew so little about the parchment.

"What changes occurred after the parchment signed the contract? What are the differences between its appearance in the game and outside the game? What kind of help did it provide you in the game..."

A barrage of questions came one after another, but Fang Yue remained unmoved and just said, "It's your turn to answer my questions."

The Sign President was immediately speechless, and after a moment of silence, he said, "What do you want to ask?"

"Still those three questions, first, what is the relationship between your [United Society] and the Cheater?"

"A cooperative relationship. [The Cheater] was the first to discover the Strange Gradient Line. They obtained extraordinary power through the internal test. Then they voluntarily fell into a slumber, entrusting other matters to our [United Society]."

Fang Yue was stunned. He had always thought that the Cheater had been beaten into a vegetable and was in slumber, but it turned out that he had voluntarily fallen asleep?

He couldn't help but ask curiously, "Slumber? Why slumber?"

The Sign President raised the parchment: "Does this count as the second question?"

"...No, you don't need to answer this question. Second question: How do you bring strange objects from the game into the real world?"

That's right, this is the key question!

Fang Yue stared at the Sign President, who spread his hands.

"It's very simple. When the first game internal test ended, the game and reality were synchronized. The Strange Gradient Line also appeared at that time. The Cheaters of the internal test therefore obtained the abilities from the game. At the same time, a batch of [Strange Objects] were materialized. This batch of [Strange Objects] is now the initial and largest capital of the [United Society]. Unfortunately, due to some reasons, some of them still fell outside, into the hands of the Shadow Society and other organizations."

The game... synchronized with reality?

Then the things in the game were materialized in reality?

So everything was so simple?

Fang Yue immediately felt a little at a loss. This parchment has to burn lifespan, while others directly get abilities for free!

But after thinking about it carefully, Fang Yue felt that it was acceptable, because the Cheater only obtained the synchronized strength at the moment when the internal test ended. Before that, they were all ordinary people.

If this synchronization is compared to a river.

Then the true role of the parchment is smuggling!

Others are separated by the river and can only cross the river when it dries up, while the parchment is smuggling anytime, anywhere, and can far surpass people of the same period with only a small price!

The significance of this effect is self-evident.

Moreover, the parchment said that when the loopholes become larger and larger, its side effects become smaller.

The loophole should be the Strange Gradient Line.

In other words, the higher the Strange Gradient Line, the smaller the price of lifespan he pays for synchronization.

For a moment, Fang Yue thought a lot.

After finally digesting this information, he asked the third question.

"Third question, Sign President, what did you use to interfere with the predictive abilities of the parchment?"

"...Our United Society has studied that the predictive ability of the parchment is actually causal prediction. That is to say, there must be cause and effect. If I shield the result on my side, the parchment will not be able to predict. Strange objects that shield cause and effect like this are very rare. Coincidentally, I happen to have one in my hand."

The Sign President took out a wooden sculpture from his pocket, shaped like a goldfish.

The strange thing is that although other parts are lifelike, there are only three scales, which makes the overall look a little strange.

"The Strange Object [Leaping Dragon Gate], before this afternoon, it had more than a hundred scales. After seeing you, only 3 are left."

[Good heavens! I directly say, good heavens!]
