Their commission was suspicious.

Hardworking and dedicated – Director.

Minister of the relevant department – ​​Discipline.

Liu Wenxuan, Deputy Director of the Xinghai City Branch.

Just these three.

Few S-level talents join relevant departments; most prefer in-depth cooperation.

Because the three of them usually stay in the relevant departments, they are able to use the teleportation points established by the relevant departments in various places to move quickly.

Oh, the director didn't teleport here; he came on his own.

The relevant department's branch office in Canghai City recently planned to move to the vicinity of Tianlao, so no teleportation array was set up from Tianlao to the relevant department's Xinghai City branch.

"Alright, enough with the chit-chat. I'm busy. I'm going to ask you a few questions now, so just answer them carefully." Seeing Chen Luo fly down and the mirror on Chen Luo's chest, the three S-rank talents below were just getting into a tense state when the Heavenly Emperor spoke up.

Jielu, Liu Wenxuan, and the bureau chief all learned what had happened through Ye Yunshang's real-time narration.

"You may remain silent, but what you say next will be used against you in court and will be monitored by a lie detector," the Heavenly Emperor said coldly.

"..." Hearing the Heavenly Emperor's words, whether it was the three S-level talents at present or Ye Yunshang and Su Yuan who had become somewhat familiar with the Heavenly Emperor on the way, they couldn't help but feel the absurdity of the world.

"What do you think of the River God? And by the way, do you gossip a bit? Is he a love-struck fool?" The Heavenly Emperor was still very curious about who could be so alluring to Chen Luo that he could make Chen Luo reject his River of Time.

This might be true love, right?

“River God? He is a very good and kind god.” Ye Yunshang, who was in the first position, was the first to speak.

The mirror began to flash red.

“Be serious, I already said there’s a lie detector,” the Heavenly Emperor said.

Why do you think the mirror in Chen Luo's hand is a top-grade magic weapon? It's because this mirror has the ability to influence things from a distance, and can even allow people to pass through it when they are not far away.

The mortal and immortal realms certainly can't achieve this level of accuracy, but simple lie detection is still possible.

"Okay, I can't tell if he's good or bad, nor can I tell if he's kind or not, but he's really lazy. And he just took the things I used to summon him and didn't give them back." Ye Yunshang shrugged.

"Give up"?

"If you don't see him more than three times in ten days, how can you say he's not just giving up? But precisely because of this, he's basically never interfered with any decisions made by the Shenzhou government in the human realm. As for whether he's love-struck, I don't know." Ye Yunshang shook her head.

I'm not familiar with the River God.

"That sounds alright, at least you didn't abuse your power for personal gain. But River God, you're too arrogant. You should at least take some responsibility," the Heavenly Emperor said.

"What does this have to do with me? I'm just a heartless porter," Chen Luo said coldly.

“I think the River God… he’s not a love-struck fool. As for how to evaluate the River God… he’s been a great help to the mortal realm, and he rarely asks the relevant departments of the mortal realm for anything in return,” Su Yuan said.

Su Yuan originally wanted to say that she and Chen Luo were not familiar with each other, but after being glared at by Chen Luo, she realized that there was a lie detector in front of her.

"Don't worry about the River God. Anyway, since you said bad things later, I'll reward him later. I guarantee they won't retaliate against you." The wealthy and powerful Heavenly Emperor mistakenly thought that Su Yuan was looking at Chen Luo out of fear.

"The River God is not bad. He didn't use the emperor to command the feudal lords, and he's been quite dutiful after opening the passage between the mortal and immortal realms," the Discipline Master said calmly.

The precepts held Chen Luo in high regard.

“I didn’t notice anything else, but the River God is really busy. He’s stood me up for days. He still hasn’t gone to the abyss passage in the Heavenly Prison for the ribbon-cutting ceremony. I don’t want to stay in the Heavenly Prison eating roasted sweet potatoes anymore.” The director’s answer, however, was full of personal bias.

"Ha, ha, I'm here! Where is the Heavenly Emperor?" A panting voice rang out, and a figure rushed out from a branch office of a relevant department in Xinghai City.

Chen Luo's eyes were drawn to the figure that had just arrived.

For no other reason than that the slime bouncing on her chest was just too big!

Her long, icy blue hair paired with a pure white skirt, along with her enormous evil aura, created a truly stunning look.

"Is this... a top-grade magic weapon?" The girl was shocked when she looked up and saw the mirror on Chen Luo's chest.

Then, after realizing that this was the communication tool mentioned in the notice, he immediately stood up straight.

"You could tell?" Chen Luo looked at him with newfound respect.

"Oh, you probably haven't seen the River God before. She's called the Riddler, or you could call her the Game Player. Her abilities are..."

"I'm not some riddle teller, I'm a mystery scholar." Because she had arrived in such a hurry and her opposition had been so strong, the girl's face was a little red.

"Oh, her codename is Mystic Scholar, a newly emerged S-rank talent in the last few days. Her ability is to see notes and affixes. Although her combat power is not high, she is extremely useful in the Abyss Passage. I speculate that her talent is a fate-related ability," Ye Yunshang introduced.

"For example?" Chen Luo became interested.

No wonder this person didn't show up at the last S-class talent conference; it turns out he's a newly emerged S-class talent.

"For example, the note on the mirror in front of you, Lord River God, is that it is a top-grade magic treasure that you can never obtain," the girl said obediently.

"That's why she's called a riddle person; that nickname is fairly straightforward. Some nicknames are much harder to understand," Ye Yunshang said.

"This ability is quite interesting, River God. Quick, give her a beginner's gift pack. She only appeared in the last two days, which means she didn't get to enjoy the quota given to support talents last time," the Heavenly Emperor said.

"Is it reimbursed?"

"No reimbursement."

"Then why should I give her a newbie gift pack?"

“She is proof of your incompetence. If you had just delayed allocating the share taken from the Celestial Realm, wouldn’t she have gotten it?” the Heavenly Emperor said matter-of-factly.

"What kind of twisted logic is that? But out of consideration for the younger generation, I can privately provide him with some things."

Chen Luo really thought this ability was amazing.

Chen Luo planned to try and increase her favorability to see if he could buy her ability at a 5% discount.

Why not just let her upload it to the group network?

Hmm... If the flesh-based ability of breaking out of the cocoon and becoming a butterfly has great universality across multiple worlds, then the universality of the riddle-maker ability of this girl in front of us is extremely small.

If Chen Luo were to upload the file via a group network and then download it, he probably wouldn't be able to use it in other worlds.

Similarly, Yukari Yakumo's boundary abilities were also significantly affected in the other world.

Yukari Yakumo herself was alright, but Chen Luo's S-rank talent was already weak, and its effect was extremely poor in this other world. This is why Chen Luo has almost never used Yukari Yakumo's realm ability.

Ultimately, conceptual transformation is still quite powerful.

"I can give you a lot of compensation, but can you tell me what my labels or affixes are in your eyes?" The river god slowly approached the girl, his tone somewhat subtle.

Seeing the stranger so close, the mysterious scholar instinctively took a step back.

"It's nothing," the mysterious scholar shook his head evasively.

The mirror on Chen Luo's chest flashed red.

"Oh, I forgot to tell you, this mirror is a lie detector," Chen Luo reminded him.

"Ah, this..." The mysterious scholar was so frightened that he took another step back.

"Don't worry, just tell me the truth. I won't do anything to you. Even if it exposes your identity, I'll accept it gladly," Chen Luo said.

The mirror on Chen Luo's chest flashed red again.

"..." by Chen Luo.

This broken mirror is so annoying.

Upon seeing this, the girl instinctively ran behind Jielu, only peeking out her head, trembling as she sized up Chen Luo.

“Okay, I admit I might use some tricks to keep you from revealing my identity, but there’s definitely no danger to your life. After all, I’m not a cruel or bloodthirsty person,” Chen Luo said.

This time, the mirror did not react.

Only then did the mysterious scholar breathe a sigh of relief.

"Tsk tsk tsk, River God, you're really quite the hypocrite. Honestly, do you really need to hide your identity in this world?" the Heavenly Emperor muttered under his breath.

“It’s necessary. After all, you immortals who have lived for so many years and the gods of other pantheons are so powerful. I can’t possibly defeat you, so I can only keep a low profile,” Chen Luo said, shaking his head.

The mirror flashed red light again.

"..." by Chen Luo

"???"

"Alright, let's talk about the notes on my body." Chen Luo paused for a moment before changing the subject.

"No, wait, don't change the subject. What you just said, combined with the lie detector's reaction, is very problematic. Please explain yourself clearly first," the Heavenly Emperor hurriedly said.

Which of your statements is a lie?

"Um, the note on your body is... [For your own safety, I think there are some things we shouldn't know. Hmph, I won't say it's mainly because I can't see through them.]" The mysterious scholar trembled.

The words on Chen Luo's body didn't seem to explain his identity; rather, they seemed like a warning to the mysterious scholar.

Chapter 1011 [Ordinary People] Chen Luo's Little Fan Girl

"That's it?" Chen Luo asked after hearing the mysterious scholar's explanation.

"That's all. My talent might not be enough to see through your disguise. If you really want me to do a divination for you, perhaps I can help you uncover your disguise," the mysterious scholar said softly.

"Oh? I can remove my disguise, but are you really brave enough to look?" Chen Luo asked with interest.

The mysterious scholar shook his head so hard it was practically a rattle drum.

Because in the eyes of the mystic, the words floating above Chen Luo's head had changed to: "Don't agree, don't agree, don't agree! I'll say it three times!"

The mysterious scholar felt that his sanity was almost completely depleted after chatting with Chen Luo for a while.

“What a pity… Let’s shake hands then.” Chen Luo extended his hand to the mysterious scholar.

In the eyes of the mystic, the words floating above Chen Luo's head changed again: "Although I don't know what he's going to do, a simple handshake is fine."

The mysterious scholar breathed a sigh of relief after seeing this message.

Although the mystical scholar had only been with the relevant department for a few days, he had been awakening his talent for more than half a month. During this time, he had gained a general understanding of his talent.

Perhaps, as the commandments suggest, the mystic's talent is a variant of the Fate-based talent.

Although the mystical scholar cannot manipulate or influence the fate of others, it is precisely because he has given up so much that his prophetic abilities are greatly enhanced.

This talent is an extreme point allocation path. While others develop all aspects, the Mystic's talent abandons all abilities that might affect people, abandons all offensive abilities, and puts all points into self-preservation.

As long as the mystic isn't too unlucky and chooses a route reasonably based on the notes and affixes they see, they won't fall into too much danger.

The premise is that luck won't be too bad.

After joining the relevant departments in the past few days, with the assistance of professionals, the mystery scholar has also uncovered more characteristics.

This talent of the mystic does not have its own independent consciousness, but it will carry the mystic's own strong emotional tendencies.

Just like the occultist himself has a strong will to survive, so the note on the occultist's talent will be a very strong will to survive.

Or perhaps this talent itself is a manifestation of the mystic's survival instinct. On the one hand, he wants to connect with others, but on the other hand, he is afraid of getting hurt by connecting with others, so he chooses to create a label that allows him to see through everyone.

However, on the other hand, although he had already met quite a few S-class talent users within the relevant departments, this River God was indeed the one who made the Mystic Scholar's talent the most nervous.

The Mysterious Scholar (Liu Huaixi)

Discount: 9.0

Mystic Eye (S-Rank Talent): 12000 Primogems

(You can also call it the Eye of Notes or the Eye of Affixes)

Very well, from this moment on, Chen Luo declares that his friendship career has suffered a major setback.

Since Chen Luo obtained so many achievements that increased initial favorability, he had never seen anyone with such low initial favorability.

It's clear that this little girl has a really strong will to survive, though it's also possible that Chen Luo was acting too mysteriously and too terrifyingly.

However, it wasn't a big problem. Chen Luo glanced at the mysterious scholar's talent description, which practically screamed "survival instinct."

In this way, Chen Luo can now appear in his true form without worry.

Since they are both S-level Fate-type talents, there's no reason why Chen Luo's own Fate-type ability couldn't affect this Fate-type ability. Besides, since he has such a strong will to survive, he knows what he should and shouldn't say.

Talent certainly won't deceive the talented, but it can say nothing at all.

But this talent seems really amazing.

It's already worth 12,000 Primogems after only a few days of awakening, which shows that this talent has high potential among Fate-type abilities.

What Chen Luo lacks most right now is not offensive means; he wants more functional skills.
