Their commission was suspicious.

"I wonder if this ability, once in my hands, will help me create the best strategy for obtaining commissions."

Although buying this ability might cost a lot of Primogems, it's worth it if it can help Chen Luo acquire Primogems quickly.

"From today onwards, you're my good brother, River God. I'll protect you from anything you need to do." Chen Luo immediately put his arm around Chen Luo's shoulder.

The enigmatic scholar trembled in Chen Luo's arms.

Don't refuse, don't refuse, don't refuse—I'm saying it three times because it's so important. It's not that it involves any life-threatening danger; it's simply because he's offering so much!

"As compensation for your brother, what do you want?" Chen Luo asked quite generously.

Even if you buy this talent at the original price, it won't be a loss as long as it helps Chen Luo quickly acquire Primal Stones. Even if it doesn't help him quickly acquire Primal Stones, it can still help Chen Luo avoid some unnecessary trouble.

However, if possible, Chen Luo still wants to buy it at the lowest possible price.

Therefore, what Chen Luo needs to do now is very clear: win favor, win favor like crazy.

“Spirit stones,” the mysterious scholar said after a moment’s thought.

"No problem, how much?"

"Three high-grade spirit stones?" the mysterious scholar asked tentatively.

This is a hint from my own talent.

"No problem. Do you need it now?"

"Um, if possible, could you give me just one high-grade spirit stone, and then transfer the remaining two high-grade spirit stones to other low-level talent users through the relevant departments?" The mysterious scholar tentatively made a suggestion.

[Ding! You have a new request!]

Reward: 150 Primogems

"Ah, I don't mind, but why did you do that?" Chen Luo asked curiously.

"Oh, that's because I heard these past few days that at a recent sharing session, a support-type talent chose to give all of their spirit stones to lower-level talents. I can't do that, after all, I also need to cultivate, but I only need one high-grade spirit stone."

"Through my understanding of the relevant departments over the past two days, I have a general idea of ​​how quickly I can earn spirit stones and how quickly low-level talents can earn them. Although I can't do what that support-type talent does—take it all—I would like to help other low-level talents as much as possible if I can," the mysterious scholar said cautiously.

"Hey, Riddler, don't follow the Traveler's example. The Traveler earns spirit stones easily; he can just stay home and they'll have them coming in every day. Although there were very few support talents back then, so everyone received a huge amount of spirit stones, those spirit stones weren't necessary for the Traveler." The first person to object to the Mystic Scholar's decision was actually Ye Yunshang.

This also gives Chen Luolu a bit of exposure.

“Traveler is different from you. If you want to earn Primal Stones, the best way is to be led by another S-rank talent to explore the Abyss Passage. Going down into the Abyss Passage is risky, but 3 high-grade spirit stones are indeed a great fortune. You need to think it through.”

Ye Yunshang knew what Chen Luo did at home every day, which is why she didn't recommend that the mysterious scholar make the same decision as Chen Luo.

"No, it's alright. One high-grade spirit stone is enough for my expenses." The mysterious scholar shook his head.

It's clear that the mysterious scholar, besides having an extremely strong will to survive, also possesses a certain magnanimity, which explains why he has such a large chest.

Although Chen Luo was not a professional, with the Hetu and Luoshu in hand, he could roughly judge a person's character by looking at their face.

Chen Luo might not be able to see through someone like Aizen, who is very secretive, but the Mysterious Scholar is completely the opposite of her code name; she is not mysterious at all and is very easy to understand.

“Sure, you can. But since you’ve just become a Talented Person, there are many things you’ll need to spend spirit stones on, like equipping yourself with some gear. These are all things that require spirit stones. How about this… you take two high-grade spirit stones to charity, and I’ll give you an extra one high-grade spirit stone. That way, you’ll have two high-grade spirit stones to buy yourself some gear.” Chen Luo said, putting his arm around the mysterious scholar’s ​​shoulder.

"This... is fine too. But is it really okay for you to spend so much money?"

"Don't worry, it's just a high-grade spirit stone, it's useless to me. Oh, by the way, remember to share half of your merit with me." Chen Luo patted the mysterious scholar on the shoulder.

“Okay, okay.” The mysterious scholar nodded.

"You two stop talking. How much spirit stone you allocate is your problem, but can you stop wasting time? This mirror will break in four minutes. Can't you do something productive?" Chen Luo was about to continue talking to the mysterious scholar when the Heavenly Emperor interrupted him.

"But haven't you already achieved your main goal? Aren't the few of them enough to prove my reputation?" Chen Luo retorted.

"Who told you I sent you down to the mortal realm mainly to see your reputation? It was just a side thing. The main reason was that I wanted you to help me show me what Earth's cities look like. Content seen through TV dramas is always biased," the Heavenly Emperor said.

"Just for this reason, you're going to waste a top-grade magic weapon?"

"Sigh, River God, you'll understand when you reach my age. Oh, and remember to walk." The Heavenly Emperor waved his hand without saying anything more.

"Then let's go together?" Chen Luo said, patting the mysterious scholar on the shoulder as he invited the others.

This also gives these people a chance to shine.

Although the opportunity to appear before the Heavenly Emperor is practically useless, it is still quite significant to them.

Didn't you see that even Liu Wenxuan was a little excited?

At the strong suggestion of the Heavenly Emperor, Chen Luo could only randomly choose a milk tea shop and buy milk tea.

"Sigh, what happened to the promise that qqnene is so delicious that it's like a milk tea shop?" The Emperor's voice sounded somewhat disappointed as he saw Chen Luo buying milk tea so normally.

“Normal milk tea shops don’t sell it like that.”

"It feels like all my hopes have been dashed."

"I think you just want to see me make an awkward face, don't you?" Chen Luo retorted.

"Oh, by the way, who wants some milk tea? It's on me, put it on Ye Yunshang's tab." Chen Luo turned to look at the group behind him.

"Huh?" Ye Yunshang didn't understand why the debt was being charged to her.

"What if you get my fingerprints? Wouldn't that allow you to trace the money back to its source? I'm not stupid," Chen Luo said.

Well, the main problem is that Chen Luo doesn't have the money to treat so many people to milk tea.

Why do you think Chen Luo brought this group of people out? Wasn't it so they could stay behind and pay the bills?

"The Riddler..."

“My name is Mystic Scholar,” Mystic Scholar retorted.

The occult scholar had already heard why the director was called the director, so he was very insistent on his code name.

Riddler is no match for Mystic Scholar.

"What do you think about using half of the two high-grade spirit stones you're planning to donate for the Heavenly Prison?" Chen Luo asked.

"Is it to improve the food in the prison?" The bureau chief leaned closer after hearing the words "prison."

"Go away. As a support talent user, don't you have a large sum of spirit stones?" Chen Luo pushed the director's face away.

"But I have to support a lot of A-level talents! After these A-level talents are bound by the shackle ability, I'm responsible for their food and training materials!" The director said, feeling wronged.

After all, the director is a support talent user who develops his own operators, and the majority of his resources are spent on them.

"I'm referring to the abyss passage next to the Heavenly Prison. Once it opens, we'll use 4 high-grade spirit stones to pay for the tickets of those who came a few days ago. A ticket costs 100 low-grade spirit stones, while 1 high-grade spirit stone can..."

“To correct you, the ticket price for the Abyss Passage in Xinghai City will be changed back to 500 spirit stones after it reopens. And I don’t agree with your suggestion,” Discipline said while drinking his milk tea.

"What?"

"River God, you must understand that the Abyss Passage charges admission fees not to make money, but to deter those with insufficient talent. If you can't even earn 500 spirit stones, the Abyss Passage will have a hard time surviving."

"Furthermore, the personal items issued each time someone enters the Abyss Passage are worth over four hundred spirit stones. If the ticket price is only worth 100 spirit stones, then we are losing money." As the minister of the relevant department, Jie Lü was very familiar with this.

"That old Xinghai City Abyss Passage..."

"Anyway, not many people go to this abyss passage, so let's just accept the loss. At least we need to maintain a basic level of exploration," Discipline said.

"So how should we spend these 8 high-grade spirit stones?" the mysterious scholar asked, somewhat perplexed.

"Why don't you give these two high-grade spirit stones to that S-rank support talent who gave all the spirit stones he deserved to low-level talents?" Chen Luo stretched.

“Yes, that makes sense.” The mysterious scholar’s ​​eyes lit up.

Su Yuan, who was buying milk tea in front of Chen Luo, subconsciously turned her head to look at him.

His eyes seemed to say: I have never seen such a shameless person!

The Mysterious Scholar (Liu Huaixi)

Favorability: 7.9% off.

This cost: 4 superior-grade spirit stones, or possibly -4 + 2.

Harvest: Raw Stones +150

In summary: I lost money, but not a complete loss.

Chapter 1012 Talent Note: He lusts after your body!

The mirror, a top-grade magic weapon, turned to ashes in Chen Luo's hands.

In fact, this top-grade magic weapon was destroyed before it even lasted 10 minutes, lasting a total of 9 minutes and 03 seconds.

This also indirectly confirms that contraband cannot withstand use in the lower realm.

The more sophisticated the contraband, the faster it disappears. This rule is simply infuriating.

Communication-type contraband can last for about 10 minutes, while offensive contraband might turn to ashes and disappear before it even hits a person.

"Look at this." The ashes of the top-grade magic weapon were held in Chen Luo's hand and turned into a small black ball.

"It says, 'Everyone knows the use of the useful, but no one knows the use of the useless.'" Upon seeing the black bead Chen Luo handed him, the mysterious scholar understood Chen Luo's meaning and read the slogan on the ashes.

"What riddle man? I hate riddle men the most in my life! Riddle men should all die!" Chen Luo said with a displeased expression.

"Um... I didn't do it on purpose, that's what it says in the notes anyway." The mysterious scholar said innocently.

"Do you think I like calling her the Riddler? It's because her talent nickname sometimes really is like a riddle," Ye Yunshang said.

"Does this happen very often?" Chen Luo asked.

"It has appeared quite a few times."

"Won't that affect your ability to use?"

"It doesn't have much of an impact, because my talent only becomes a riddle in things that don't affect me much, while in some emergency situations, the talent's notes are quite simple and clear."

For example, when facing you, his talent is very straightforward.

Although the mystic scholar really wanted to say that, seeing the message floating above Chen Luo's head: "Hold on, hold on, hold on. If you don't court death, you won't die. Why don't you understand this principle?", the mystic scholar felt that perhaps he should reconsider and organize his thoughts.

The ancients were right: think thrice before you act.

"Everyone knows the use of the useful, but no one knows the use of the useless." This means that although this thing is useless, it can be used for other purposes because it is useless. Chen Luo carefully examined the ashes in his hand.

Although the supreme magical artifact, being a forbidden item, was reduced to ashes under the punishment of Heaven, it was still a supreme magical artifact. Even a single fragment would be priceless.

Moreover, in a sense, all the top-grade magic treasures from before are now in this handful of ashes.

After thinking about it for a while, Chen Luo roughly understood what it meant: this thing might be used to forge weapons.

Forging weapons doesn't necessarily mean using better materials to create a higher-grade weapon. Sometimes, even the two strongest materials can't be combined because their properties clash.

This useless thing, because its attributes have been completely erased by the Heavenly Dao, can be used as a neutralizing agent. Moreover, the ashes of a top-grade magic weapon are definitely the most advanced neutralizing agent.

After understanding the subtext of this note, Chen Luo couldn't help but look at the mysterious scholar's talent with even greater admiration.

At this moment, in the eyes of the mysterious scholar, the nickname above Chen Luo's head has changed again.

Did you feel the way he looked at you? This means two things: either he's lusting after your body, or he's lusting after your virility.

Upon seeing this note, the mysterious scholar stared timidly at Chen Luo.

The mystic is confident in his appearance, even though it has caused him a lot of trouble...

However, the mystic scholar felt that the river god, as a deity, would not have such a low-level interest as being haunted.

So, does that mean the river god wants him to be his underling?

It's not impossible...

After all, the River God is truly generous.

The occult scholar began to seriously consider this possibility.

As a purely support-oriented individual, the Mystic Scholar has currently chosen a deep cooperation agreement with the relevant authorities, rather than joining them.

This was a hint from the occultist's talent.

For someone with pure support talent, joining a relevant department is a good option, but it might not be the best one.

Therefore, the mysterious scholar decided to cooperate closely with the relevant departments for the time being before deciding whether to join them.

Mystic scholars tend to be easygoing and don't care much about minor differences in their treatment unless they encounter major danger.

It doesn't matter if the pay is good or bad, as long as it's enough to make a living.

"River God, do you have any use for the ashes in your hand?" After thinking for a long time, Liu Wenxuan finally mustered up the courage to ask.
