Their commission was suspicious.

And are you all kindergarten kids?!

happy New Year! ! !

happy New Year!

happy New Year!

happy New Year!

Say the important thing three times.

I won't be able to update until noon today, but I can't resist posting a separate chapter now.

After all, this is a memorable time.

Although the festive atmosphere of the New Year is fading, the New Year is still something to celebrate.

(Although I'm extremely tired today)

In the new year, I wish all my readers peace and safety, and I also hope that I can find a partner.

Chapter 996 She's still a child, please don't let her go!

[Kindergarten Principal] (5 stars): No one can resist becoming a teacher who dedicates themselves to their profession, like a silkworm spinning silk until death or a candle burning itself out. At least when it comes to writing essays, no one can resist. And the starting point for any teacher is early childhood education! If you really enjoy disciplining unruly children, becoming a kindergarten principal would be an invaluable choice.

Effect: Not a single unruly child will dare to act recklessly in front of you! Not a single one! Your words carry immense authority among children, and you possess an aura of fear that intimidates both unruly and ordinary children (this can be turned off). Your effectiveness in soothing children is equally outstanding. Because you are so skilled at soothing children, you can also be somewhat effective at soothing adults.

Definition of a child: psychologically immature, outwardly immature, or behaviorally immature.

Special skill: [He's still a child.]

【He's still a child】: The insane version of the Polymorph spell. It can turn any enemy into a child. The duration depends on the amount of magic power spent and the strength of the target. During this process, the child cannot attack, and their physical strength, magic power, and mental strength will all be reduced to levels appropriate for their age. However, they will recover health and magic power at an extremely fast rate, and any damage will restore the child to their normal state.

(There is a one-second invincibility period between turning into a child and turning back from a child.)

This was something Chen Luo casually pulled out while having dinner with Elishia, Aponia, Qian, and Hua, deep within the world of the Fire-Chasing Moth.

Life always needs a sense of ritual, and the deepest aspects of life certainly meet this requirement and condition.

Moreover, Chen Luo was indeed annoyed by Aponia, Qianjie, and Alicia at that time.

Hua was the only one who saved Chen Luo some trouble; the others were either watching the show or involved in it.

Because of Aponia's commandments, Thousand Tribulations cannot harm the innocent during this meal, but Thousand Tribulations is also very unhappy with Aponia, let alone now that he has to sit down and eat with Aponia.

No matter how you look at it, Qianjie will never behave himself.

If Chen Luo hadn't intervened, Qian Jie might have actually done something like throwing food from his meal onto Aponia's face.

Every time Aponia was bullied, she would look to Chen Luo.

Chen Luo had reason to suspect that the kindergarten principal was describing Chen Luo's situation at the time.

Outrageous!

But this achievement and special skill are indeed quite strong, which makes Chen Luo quite satisfied.

Especially that special skill, which can be used by either our side or the enemy.

Using it on the enemy would obviously render them instantly incapable of resistance.

It's clear that giving it to us is to allow us to quickly restore our health and mana.

In a sense, this skill is a weakened version of the bar effect; while in the child form, the child cannot die.

Because once damaged, it will immediately revert to its original state and gain one second of invincibility.

In addition, when transforming into a child, one gains a second of invincibility. Anyone affected by this effect can live for at least two more seconds.

Moreover... Chen Luo may have gained another deterrent skill in addition to the Friendship Revolver.

This applies not only to enemies, but even more so to friends.

Although any harm inflicted would immediately remove the child-like effect, coincidentally, no harm would be inflicted within the bar...

Chen Luo couldn't wait to use this ability.

But Chen Luo didn't want his bar to turn into a kindergarten...

All five-star achievements with special skills are more or less outrageous.

But thinking about it carefully, this special skill is probably unlikely to achieve a comeback from a desperate situation.

If the enemy is weak, this skill won't be needed.

If the enemy is strong, Chen Luo might not even be able to turn the enemy into a child for a second when he uses this skill. The enemy will immediately return to its original state, and at the same time, he will lose two seconds of invincibility.

After all, the time it takes for the enemy to turn into a child is related to the strength comparison between Chen Luo and the enemy, and there are many other influencing factors as well.

Perhaps a battle that could have been won was depleted of Chen Luo's magic power instantly after he used a polymorph spell on the enemy.

This is roughly the effect Chen Luo would have when using this skill on Othinus.

In Chen Luo's view, the only thoughtful aspect of this skill is that the cost of turning the other person into a child is not related to the other person's age.

But you know what? This skill is definitely more effective at interrupting spellcasting than the Friendship Revolver.

"Hmm... So here's the question: if someone is already a child, will their ability to use this skill change?"

Chen Luo shook his head and banished the thought from his mind.

"Aren't we going out to play together this afternoon?" Alicia asked after dropping Chen Luo off at his doorstep.

"No, having lunch with you guys today was already exhausting enough," Chen Luo sighed.

"Sigh, Luo Luo, you've really had a tough time, but I can only watch helplessly, worried sick. After all, Qian Jie and I aren't that close." Alicia's gaze towards Chen Luo was filled with affection.

"I'm sorry for causing you trouble." Aponia smiled helplessly.

Aponia had no choice. Her relationship with Thousand Calamity was alright when they were in the sanatorium, but it deteriorated rapidly after the sanatorium closed down.

At that time, Chen Luo was the only person Aponia could turn to for help.

For some reason, ever since she made a confidentiality agreement with Chen Luo, Aponia felt that Chen Luo was more and more trustworthy.

It wasn't just about trust in his ability to keep secrets, but also about confidence in his capabilities.

Although Aponia sees Chen Luo as physically weak, he possesses a trustworthy magic.

I always feel that this person can solve problems that I can't solve.

That's why I subconsciously ask for help.

"It doesn't matter, I'm used to dealing with all sorts of troublesome things anyway. Just come to me with anything I can do. But it has to be simple and straightforward, things like emotional counseling or running errands are out of the question," Chen Luo said.

You reap what you sow; Chen Luo couldn't possibly ignore the commission.

Give me the raw stone, and I'll help you fulfill your wish. Fair trade, no cheating.

However, Chen Luo wasn't stupid; there were different ways to complete the task.

Chen Luo naturally knew that although they seemed to have paid with raw stones, they had not suffered any loss.

Whether a wish is precious or not truly varies from person to person.

If someone takes everything for granted and even goes too far, Chen Luo wouldn't mind letting them know what it means to complete a task by taking shortcuts.

How to solve your troubles?

Why not just get rid of the people who are causing trouble?

"Emotional counseling? Can I get some counseling?" Alicia asked.

"I already said, this doesn't include relationship counseling. Don't ask. If you do, we're breaking up. Ask again and I'll become a monk," Chen Luo said with a dark face.

What are you talking about with a 17-year-old?

You broke the law, do you know that?

However, Chen Luo's deep aversion to relationship counseling stems from the fact that he himself has worked as a relationship counselor.

"So rough? How about I teach you some emotional techniques?" Alicia winked teasingly.

"Ha, someone who's never even been in a relationship dares to teach others relationship skills?" Chen Luo scoffed.

If you ask how to be popular, Alicia is definitely an expert, but when it comes to matters of the heart, forget about it.

"Kevin is better than you in this respect; at least Kevin has a girlfriend."

"you……"

Who are you insulting, Kevin?

Oh wait, who am I calling inferior to Kevin?

"Bang!" Chen Luo slammed the door shut.

To be honest, I'm still angry; I can't play anymore.

"..."

After a moment of contemplation, Alicia turned and left.

"Ellie, where are you going?" Aponia asked instinctively.

"Go spread rumors."

"Huh? What kind of rumor are you spreading?"

"Chen Luo is pursuing Mebius."

"This……"

Isn't that the truth?

Aponia was somewhat confused.

“Ellie, whether it’s a rumor or not, spreading this around will ultimately have a negative impact on Chen Luo. Ellie, didn’t you say you wanted to go to the store to buy me some daily necessities? Let’s go together now…”

"Hmm, okay, we'll do something big once we have solid evidence!" Alicia sighed and nodded.

Although Alicia said that, spreading rumors is really not in Alicia's nature.

"How about this, let's not go buy the daily necessities yet, let's go find Kevin and ask him for some dating tips first," Alicia suggested.

Kevin's dating tips?

Aponia recalled Kevin's cold, aloof image in her mind.

Aponia found it hard to believe that Kevin really had dating skills.

But the fact that Kevin and May were a couple was already widely known throughout the entire Firemoth community.

“Aponia, let me tell you, Kevin was actually a very popular prince of Chiba Academy before he joined the Firemoth.”

No girl can resist gossip, and Aponia is no exception.

"Abby..." After returning to the bar, Chen Luo looked at Abby, who was playing on the computer.

Abby wasn't flustered at all when she was caught playing on the computer, since her brother wouldn't do anything too outrageous to her anyway.

And I've already been studying for 10 minutes!

Isn't that enough?

But when Abby looked up at Chen Luo, she instinctively shrank her neck.

Abby suddenly felt that her brother seemed to have changed.

When he did nothing wrong, his brother was still the same brother, but once he did something bad, Abby suddenly felt that Chen Luo had become terrifying.

They didn't do anything, nor did they express any intention, but the sense of oppression they gave off was incredibly strong.

Especially when Chen Luo remained silent, Abby became extremely uneasy and even stopped playing with the little fox in her arms.

"I'm sorry, brother, I'll watch my online classes right now!" Abby said, feeling a little guilty.

Abby will never be a bad kid again!

"Hmm... It's normal to play games or something when you're tired from studying. Don't feel stressed. I'm not some old fogey. Balancing work and rest is a good choice," Chen Luo comforted him.

However, Chen Luo suddenly felt that the achievement of being a kindergarten principal, besides that special skill, also had quite good effects, such as in taking care of children.
