The Forger of Strange Items Starting from Collapse

"I'm in great need of it. Who doesn't need it? If I were you, I would definitely use 500 star stones to draw a lottery for big prizes. Maybe I could even get a chance to become a god." Yakumo Yukari said.

In fact, Yakumo Yukari was thinking of saving up 500 star stones to draw a big one!

Back then, Suzumiya Haruhi was able to spend ten star stones to draw a contaminated Holy Grail that was powerful enough to destroy the world!

Then I, Yakumo Yukari, can use 500 star stones to draw a god-level top-grade holy relic!

"It's a pity that these 500 star stones are for special use only." Nadezhda shook her head.

Because Chen Li could have simply not given the 500 star stones and directly snatched the imperial weapon.

Chen Li just wanted to find a reason to allow group members to obtain star stones through labor, and then take the star stones back to his own world, make some noise, and see if he could get more star stones.

"What are you going to do with the remaining 300 star stones? Can you tell me first so I can do some research?" asked Yakumo Yukari.

"Yakumo Yukari, you're too arrogant, aren't you?" Kaguya Houraisan pointed at Yakumo Yukari.

"Working hard for a monthly salary of 3000 is called greed, but working hard for a monthly salary of 30 is called diligence." Yakumo Yukari shook her head and talked about her philosophy of life.

When it comes to laziness, Yakumo Yukari is not inferior to anyone.

Yakumo Yukari just wants to improve too much.

Because Yakumo Yukari discovered that even if it was not used for lottery, the energy condensate of star stone could be used to strengthen her gap ability, and then in turn drive a slight increase in her realm ability.

This thing is really amazing.

"So what? Do you want to continue employing me?" Yakumo Yukari took out her folding fan and waved it gently.

"Some fools fan themselves all year round." Kaguya Houraisan muttered.

Yakumo Yukari's hand froze for a moment.

"I would like to consult Chen Li's opinion on this matter first. Chen Li, what is the magical object that you just mentioned that can manage the empire?" Nadezhda asked Chen Li.

"Collective consciousness. But my civilization value has not stopped growing, so you may want to deal with them first." Chen Li pointed at the senior executives who were packaged up by Yakumo Yukari.

Chapter 208: The Urge to Marry from Yagi Eirin

“Are there any group members who can read minds?”

"I come."

"Will any of the group members interrogate me? Don't get me wrong, I just want to beat him up."

"I come."

“Is there anyone in the group who can treat it?”

"I come."

"The Qiwu Group is really full of talented people." Nadezhda said with emotion.

"...But you are looking for the same person, right? Yakumo Yukari, you are too arrogant." Kaguya Houraisan was shocked.

Yakumo Yukari has lived for such a long time, it is hard to say how high her "ability" is, but if you ask whether she has some little tricks after living for such a long time, Yakumo Yukari would have something to say.

So Yakumo Yukari played a big role when Nadezhda interrogated the high-ranking officials of the Revolutionary Army.

Of course, there are indeed some group members who are more professional than Yakumo Yukari in some aspects. For example, Yagi Eirin is obviously better at treatment, but Yagi Eirin has been trying to persuade her princess to return to the Lost Bamboo Forest and live a normal life.

"Yawei Yonglin... you probably didn't want your princess to follow you home, right?" Seeing Yawei Yonglin walking to the gathering place of the "research group" quite consciously, Daheita said with certainty.

Since most people were visiting the other world for the first time, they were divided into different groups based on their different passions for the other world. For example, some wanted to study the world, some just wanted to relax, and some just wanted to eat there.

"Is it obvious?"

"Pretty obvious."

"Actually, I feel relieved knowing that the princess is safe outside. It's a good thing that she can leave home for a while."

"The problem is, after she left your Lost Bamboo Forest, didn't she also stay at Chen Li's house?"

"Don't worry about that. Just tell me whether the princess has left home."

"..."

Of course, Yagi Eirin's purpose is not that superficial.

The main reason is that Yagi Eirin thinks there is no harm in doing so. After all, Kaguya Houraisan has a job as a homegirl in the other world, and she can make progress by staying at home.

According to Kaguya Houraiyama's own description, after leaving Chen Li's world, most of her abilities as a otaku are still effective, but being a otaku in another world will not bring any experience gains.

Moreover, Yagi Eirin still remembered that the contract signed by Chen Li and Kaguya Hourai was that Chen Li would send Kaguya Hourai home, and Kaguya Hourai would marry him.

Let’s think about it another way. As long as Kaguya Houraisan can’t return home, she won’t have to give herself to him.

You said that if you stay in the same house for a long time, you might fall in love?

That's not something that Yagi Eirin should worry about. Because... it's time for Kaguya Horaisan, an older single woman, to find a boyfriend.

Kaguya of Houraisan had been single for how many years, but Eirin of the Eight Senses had already forgotten, and in Gensokyo... not to mention the powerful males, there weren't many even slightly stronger males.

It would be a wonder if I could find a boyfriend if I stay at home in that shabby place like Gensokyo!

"It's done. The situation is not optimistic, but it's still optimistic." Nadezhda said after chatting with the top leaders of the Revolutionary Army.

"???" Listening to what Nadezhda said to him, Chen Li wondered if Nadezhda was awake now?

Do you want to listen to what you are saying?

"The first sentence is because the ranks of the revolutionary army are not pure. The second sentence is because there are indeed many people with lofty ideals in the revolutionary army." Nadezhda explained.

Nadezhda just took the forced transaction gold coins and took Yakumo Yukari to solve the unity problem among the top leaders of the Revolutionary Army.

The fact is just as Nadezhda worried at the beginning. There are many ambitious people in the revolutionary army who want to dominate the world because of the turbulent situation.

If the only desire is to conquer the world, then that is human nature. After all, who doesn't want to be the emperor?

The victors are the kings and the losers are the bandits. This has been the case since ancient times.

However, there are still many undercover agents from the imperial nobility and aristocratic families among the top leaders of the revolutionary army.

It may not be appropriate to call them undercover agents. They have truly joined the revolutionary army, but if the revolutionary army can gain the upper hand, then the aristocratic families and nobles will instantly become undercover agents of the revolutionary army within the empire.

Don't put all your eggs in one basket. This is an old trick of the nobility and the aristocratic families.

This is actually not a problem, but there are many people who are just trash, trash with deep sins, and even when they join the revolutionary army, they do nothing and even continue to harm the revolutionary army.

This is a bit unfair.

However, when Nadezhda stood in front of them with the forced transaction gold coins, their identities no longer mattered. From now on, they were noble and righteous people working hard for the welfare of the people!

For those who are wholeheartedly serving the people, they can realize their ideals and get rewards that are equal to their efforts - the life-extending drugs promised by Nadezhda.

For those with ill intentions, they must also obey the order of forced gold trading.

The inferior elixir of immortality was kindly provided by Kaguya of Houraisan.

This time, Kaguya Houraisan, the winner who won without any effort, is truly the MVP.

"You've come at the right time. I have already obtained all the civilization points. Are you interested in awakening the collective consciousness of the empire?" A miracle card floated above Chen Li's palm.

The empire occupies a very important position in this world. The rise and fall of the empire is also an important part of the rise and fall of civilization, and the revolutionary army is an important part of the empire.

The empire is an empire of civilization, not just the empire of the emperor alone.

At least that's how it looks from a God's perspective.

Therefore, the great changes in the revolutionary army are also key nodes in the historical events of civilization.

Although this important node was resolved by Yakumo Yukari alone in 30 seconds, you can only praise Yakumo Yukari for her high efficiency, but you cannot say that this node is not important.

As a result, Chen Li obtained a large amount of civilization points and 1000 star stones, which was much more than the star stones Chen Li distributed.

In addition to the 600 star stones brought by the great changes in the Revolutionary Army, the fact that "Yakumo Yukari obtained star stones" itself also provided Chen Li with star stones.

God knows what Yakumo Yukari is going to do with Xingshi Hao?

(Civilization value: replenished by intervening or leading key nodes in civilization history events)

"Collective consciousness... Can it really help the empire always make the right decisions?" Nadezhda, who had already seen the effects of this miracle card, was still a little worried.

"It depends on what you want. Collective consciousness has different tendencies. If you choose to make "the survival of the empire" the primary goal of collective consciousness, then you will get an empire that will not decline no matter how corrupt it is, just like the current empire." Chen Li said.

In fact, in the eyes of the Empire, the Revolutionary Army is not a problem at all.

This is not arrogance, it is the truth.

Although the empire is corrupt, its armed forces remain invincible.

"But if you make 'the survival of the imperial people' the primary goal of collective consciousness, then you will get a nation that, no matter what kind of blow it suffers or what kind of enemy it encounters, may decline for a while, but at the critical moment of facing destruction, there will always be a key figure who can turn the tide and save the collapsing empire." Chen Li said.

Of course, this has its limits. For example, if an empire blessed with collective consciousness were to encounter a dimensionality-reducing attack like the Great Black Tower, it might be able to slightly stain the corners of the Great Black Tower's clothes, but it would not be able to reverse the outcome.

"Then I choose the latter!" Nadezhda's eyes lit up.

"So happy?"

"If I were greedy for fame and fortune, why would I give up being a general of the Empire and join the Revolutionary Army to start from scratch? I feel very lucky because I met you first, and not someone like Esdeath. Otherwise, God knows what kind of collective consciousness she would choose." Nadezhda said.

At least in Nadezhda's view, the empire is not important, but the people are important.

"If this is what you expect, then okay." Chen Li threw the miracle card in his hand.

When this miracle card left Chen Li's hand, it became bigger and bigger, flew higher and higher, and became more and more transparent, until this miracle card merged into this world.

Miracle Card: [Beacon Fire Plays with Princes]

As the civilization value obtained by Chen Li rapidly decreased, in the haze, an invisible existence quietly enveloped the entire empire.

Because Chen Li did not obtain much civilization value from this key node, the collective consciousness that appeared this time only has basic functions. It is necessary to choose a civilization development strategy at the beginning, and it is very troublesome to change it later.

This is also the reason why Chen Li did not use these civilization values on the previous civilization.

Because the civilization value is too low, it is not enough to awaken a sufficiently advanced collective consciousness, and the basic influence on the people is not high enough. At the same time, only a maximum of three high-level characters with the "destiny" attribute can be born at the same time.

Rather than saying it is a collective consciousness, it is better to say it is a kind of "fortune".

"Hmm? It seems like something has been born." Many group members who came to compete for the participation prize raised their heads and looked at the sky, as if they had sensed some special existence.

"Yes, this is another shortcoming. Because we don't have enough civilization points, the awakened collective consciousness can be easily discovered in the early stages. But it is only limited to those who have special abilities." Chen Li pointed to the group members who exclaimed next to him and said to Nadezhda.

"Esdeath?" Nadezhda subconsciously thought of someone.

The psychological trauma that Esdeath brought to Nadezhda was too great.

"That's not the case. Esdeath is just a reckless woman. What does she know about luck? Or in this world where everything is blood and blades except for the magical imperial weapons, no one can discover this situation." Chen Li shook his head.

"That's all right. What should we do now? Wait?" asked Nadezhda.

"In theory, we can continue to wait, but it's better to take the initiative. Stop slacking off and come experience civilized speeding?" Chen Li shouted to the group of friends he invited who were just giving up after getting a participation prize.

"Civilized Speeding Car?"

"After I awakened the collective consciousness just now, there is still a little civilization value left. I can speed up the timeline of civilization, that is, treat civilization as a game, and directly skip the plot to the next plot node. At the same time, you can bring people with you. Who of you wants to experience the civilization speed car?" Chen Li explained.

"Time travel? Interesting. Count me in."

"I want to try too."

"Oh no! Skipping the plot is like skipping life!"

"Can I go?" Nadezhda pointed at herself.

"Yes. You can freely choose whether to join the script when accelerating the civilization timeline, or you can choose not to join the script... Let me explain it this way. If you are facing an exam and choose to join the script, you will instantly arrive at the end of the exam and then get a test paper that you have worked hard to write. Choosing not to join the script is equivalent to skipping the exam." Chen Li nodded.

The former is similar to the time deletion of King Crimson, where the process is deleted and only the result remains.

But if they talked about the Crimson King, Nadezhda might be even more confused, so Chen Li changed his words.

"What about the memories from this period?" Nadezhda asked.

"A compressed package will be generated and put into your brain. When you need these memories, they will automatically pop out." Chen Li said.

"Well, doesn't that mean that in the future I can borrow a miracle card from you, Chen Li, before going to school, fast forward to the time after school, and then go home to play games?" Gabriel's eyes lit up.

"...Go to school properly! You are not allowed to waste your civilization points like this!" Chen Li roared.

"Oh."

"Except for Nadezhda, everyone should choose to break away from the script, right?" Chen Li said with a smile.

"Well...how about I take the trouble and choose to join the script. Be a control group and help everyone collect what they want. How about that? I'll charge a little money though." Yakumo Yukari raised a small objection.
