Their commission was suspicious.

Even if other A-rank Valkyries have outstanding talents, fusing with the Herrscher core is extremely lethal. However, even if Chen Luo fails to fuse, at most the core will be rejected, and it will not cause any harm to Chen Luo.

"Hmph, with what I gave Welt, he will surely be able to gradually erode Anti-Entropy. In that case, Anti-Entropy, one of the two major organizations fighting against the Honkai, will be in my hands. At that time, how could humanity, which has begun to split internally, possibly be a match for the Honkai?"

"I'm about to achieve one of my goals, and it's only a matter of time before I achieve them all. Hahaha!" Feeling the Honkai crystals around him increasing one by one, Chen Luo couldn't help but laugh out loud.

[Ding! Honkai faction item exchange discount is 9.1%]

Tsk, you can still laugh? You're one of my next targets.

However, to be honest, things were still somewhat beyond Chen Luo's expectations, because after ME's Honkai energy reactor exploded, the Honkai energy concentration in Changkong City only returned to 4/5 of its previous level.

"Who on earth used so much Honkai energy? This is outrageous!" Chen Luo cursed as he put the Honkai crystals into his backpack.

Seeing that the number of Honkai Crystals was almost enough, Chen Luo teleported back to the vicinity of the survivor base. After confirming once again that there were no other Honkai Beasts or zombies nearby, Chen Luo did not return to the survivor base.

Since everything is alright now, there's no point in going back to the survivor base. Let the children handle the children's affairs.

At the same time, Chen Luo also glanced at his progress on [The Hand of the Madman].

[Neurotic Hand]: 5612/10000

Thankfully, achievements were enabled, so it seems that you can continue grinding for achievements even after the event ends, otherwise Chen Luo would be devastated.

But are those Honkai Beasts really that ruthless when they destroy houses? They demolished so many houses in just a day and a half?

That's terrifying!

Fortunately, these Honkai Beasts were being fostered in Changkong City. If they had been kept at Chen Luo's house, he would have had nowhere to take them in.

After taking one last look at the survivor base, Chen Luo summoned the door to the bar and went inside.

Chen Luolai's purpose in coming to Changkong City has been achieved: to test the two powers and the modified Herrscher body.

The power of the Herrscher of Domination remains as useful as ever, and it can also be used to develop different operations, such as condensing a one-time Herrscher of Domination core to allow subordinate puppets to develop suitable puppets when the user does not have the time.

After continuously eroding the mechs and leaving virus seeds within them, the Herrscher of Erosion's powers have been tested to near completion.

This at least proves that the strength of the anti-entropy mech is insufficient to resist the power of the Herrscher of Erosion.

……

"Ugh..." Xing, feeling a sharp pain in the back of her head, gradually woke up from her unconsciousness.

"Where am I?" After getting up from the muddy road, Xing looked around at her surroundings, feeling a little lost.

"Oh, are you awake?" Walter's somewhat arrogant tone rang out.

"What's going on? Where's Chen Luo?" Xing stood up, supported by the mecha that had appeared beside her.

At the same time, they also had some reservations about Walter throwing them directly onto the road.

"Thanks to you, he got away," Walter said disdainfully, looking at Xing.

"What does this have to do with me?" Xing retorted instinctively.

"Oh, so you want me to crush you and that traveler from another world together next time, right? I understand. I won't hold back next time. I'll just grant your wish and let you and that traveler from another world die together, how about that?" Walter nodded thoughtfully.

"Not so good, wait, did that bastard Chen Luo use me as a hostage or a shield?" The invincible Grandpa Xing realized instantly.

"Nonsense, otherwise do you think I would let him escape? He's stronger than you, but in my eyes he's still just a weakling." Walter's tone remained as arrogant as ever.

After all, Chen Luo wasn't stupid. If Val's personality changed too much, it would definitely arouse Cocolia's suspicion. So, while keeping Val's personality from changing too much, he taught him what it meant to respect the elderly and care for the young.

"Damn it, Chen Luo got away again!" Xing said unhappily.

Last time, that bastard used me as a bargaining chip; this time, he's using me as a shield.

"Of course, it's not like we gained nothing at all," Walter said, suddenly remembering something.

"Hmm, what did you find?" Xing asked subconsciously.

"Drip!"

Just as Walter was about to reply, his communicator rang.

"Oh, it's Lord Cocolia. What's the matter?"

Upon seeing who the communication request came from, Walter's eyes flashed with anger and a sense of satisfaction at the prospect of revenge. He then suppressed all his emotions, reverted to his original arrogance, and initiated a video call.

Why get angry with her companion who's about to become a doll? Anyway, everything she has will be taken away soon.

There are naturally differences between people.

As a clone, all I have is myself, and all I can lose is myself.

But Cocolia is different. She is the leader of the anti-entropy reform movement, she commands countless forces, and she has her beloved daughter and the Cocolia Orphanage.

Walter really wanted to see the other person's expression after losing everything, and hoped it wouldn't be too boring.

"Lord of the Alliance, what happened at ME Corporation? Why did a huge explosion occur?" Cocolia asked immediately after turning on the video.

Yes, that's right, it's this one, still fooling me with lies.

If someone isn't even willing to share the slightest bit of the truth with you, what else could it be but treating you like a pawn to be abandoned?

Hearing Cocolia's "advice," Welt was furious, but thanks to his doll-like abilities, he was able to control his emotions freely.

"Your daughter was kidnapped by that traveler and used as a shield. I didn't kill him; he even detonated ME Corporation. It's that simple," Walter said casually.

"Damn it, it's that traveler again!" Cocolia said, biting her finger.

“Oh, right, it wasn’t all for nothing. To prevent me from pursuing him relentlessly, he offered me a treasure—a fruit that is said to be able to induce evolution,” Walter said.

"What? A fruit that makes people evolve? Where is it?" Cocolia was instantly surprised.

“Lord Cocolia, isn’t that obvious? Of course I ate it, and it tasted pretty good.” Walter licked his lips.

"You ate it?" Cocolia's tone was filled with shock and a barely perceptible anger.

You're just a consumable item, how could you eat such expensive things?

“Of course, and it’s true what he said, my abilities seem to have really evolved. I feel better than ever before, and the amount of gravity I can control has more than doubled,” Walter said with a satisfied expression.

"...Alliance Leader, please bring the mech unit and Xing back as soon as possible," Cocolia said after a moment of silence.

Once evolved, consumables can no longer be used as ordinary consumables.

At that moment, a hint of mockery flashed in Walter's eyes.

Chapter 133 The Severn Valley and the Turbulent Spacetime

When Chen Luo passed by the bar this time, he took a special look and only went home after confirming that no one had starved to death there.

Mona really scared Chen Luo so much that he developed a phobia of her.

Imagine you're a pub owner, and you go back to your bar and find someone almost starving to death there. Wouldn't you panic?

This is a living, breathing person! And Mona, you at least have a skill like astrology, yet you still managed to starve yourself to death. That's truly outrageous.

Mona used to at least have enough money to eat a fruit and vegetable salad to fill her stomach, but now she doesn't even have a single mora left.

I don't know if Mona was just too enthusiastic about shopping or if she was too confident in herself.

After pushing open the bar door and returning to his living room, Chen Luo suddenly lost all motivation.

"What should I do?" Chen Luo asked, completely bewildered.

Based on Chen Luo's previous lifestyle, he should be wandering around the neighborhood looking for someone who needs help, then increasing his own requests for assistance, or perhaps working as a caregiver at a hospital.

"Wait, the hospital!" Chen Luo subconsciously took out his phone and glanced at it.

"It's Saturday today, right? Logically speaking, I should go see Yun Lian'er, but..." Chen Luo looked up at the darkening sky and slumped back onto the sofa.

I used to watch Yun Lian'er around 10 a.m., but now it's already 6 p.m.

But after suddenly having free time, Chen Luo felt an extremely strong sense of guilt.

Because Chen Luo didn't rest at all during the 7-day event except for eating, sleeping, and running the bar, this kind of boring time was a huge waste.

I really want to go to a bar, but there are no customers.

Chen Luo was pondering whether he should run the bar all day from now on, but upon closer inspection, what would he do if he had a commission during the day if he ran the bar all day?

"Oh right, I should call my mom and the others, just to let them know I'm safe."

Chen Luo spent seven days slaying zombies in another world and became a lackey who destroyed the world—an experience he could never have imagined before.

"It's been exactly half a month since I unlocked my talent, and the past two weeks have been truly surreal." Chen Luo sighed, then started making phone calls.

The call was finally answered after quite some time.

Chen Luo wasn't surprised by this. After all, the other party seemed to be in the Antarctic or Arctic, so it was normal for the signal to be bad. In fact, it would be a pleasant surprise if the call could be made.

"Hey, Mom, are you there?" Chen Luo was calling his mother, not his father.

Because Chen Luo hasn't figured out how to face his father yet.

After all, he had given one of the three sets from the other party's collection to that cauliflower snake.

Before I became a puppeteer, I didn't think it was anything special. Now that I'm a puppeteer, I've developed a collecting obsession and I think this behavior is really excessive.

Why don't I make one myself later? With my talent as a puppeteer, I should be able to create something that's indistinguishable from the real thing.

"My dear son, what made you decide to call your mother? Did you miss me?" Even through the phone, Chen Luo could hear the joy in the voice on the other end.

After all, Chen Luo rarely called his parents every 7 days before; he usually called every half month.

"Just take it as that." Chen Luo was too lazy to argue with his mother about these things. After all, he couldn't let her know that he was safe.

Besides, who would believe that someone went to another world and spent 7 days killing zombies?

"Oh dear, the child has grown up and knows how to be shy now. How was the trip? Was it smooth?" Chen Luo's mother asked with concern.

"It went quite smoothly, but I went home after seven days of travel, because traveling is really tiring," Chen Luo said with deep feeling.

"I don't understand why you guys can travel all the time and only come home once a month."

Chen Luo was already this exhausted after fighting zombies for seven days. Although archaeology is not the same as fighting zombies, it must be quite tiring too.

"Sigh, these are the worries of adults. We need to earn money to support our families. Besides, the reason you feel tired is because you don't have a companion. So why don't you find a girlfriend? Although I'm very reluctant to see my Xiao Luo snatched up by other girls, you are indeed at the age where it's time to get married," Chen Luo's mother teased.

"No way, I'm only 17! Isn't dating too early?" Chen Luo never expected to be pressured to get married at 17. Are these normal parents?

"I'm just telling you to be careful. During your trip, see if there's anyone you like, and seize the opportunity. Early romance isn't important. Even if you don't get into university, your family can support you. Just don't interfere with the girl's studies," Chen Luo's mother nagged on.

"Alright, alright, stop talking about me. Are you guys still in the Arctic? Where's the photo I wanted with the penguins?" Chen Luo quickly changed the subject.

Just kidding, I'm only 17 years old, asking me to find a partner is asking too much of me.

What a human suffering this is!

And does this mean we need to find a mother for Shibao?

In that case, Shi Bao and the other party will have to fight.

wrong……

"A photo with penguins? Sorry, we don't have time to go to Antarctica, my darling. How about a photo with a polar bear?" Chen Luo's mother said somewhat embarrassedly.

"Okay, just send it to me later. By the way, where's my dad?"

"Your dad is talking to the local tour guide right now."

"A tour guide? Are there tour guides in the Arctic?" Chen Luo was taken aback.

"Ah, no, we're no longer in the Arctic. We've gone to another place to conduct archaeological work."

"Oh, I see. By the way, Mom, do you have any requirements regarding the age of your son's girlfriend?" Chen Luo asked.

Mom, you might not believe it, but my child already has a mother.

It's just that she's a bit old.

More than 5 years old.

"Age? That's not a big requirement, but it can't be too outrageous either. Don't even think about dating a rich woman. Our family isn't short of money. Let me tell you, rich women are like a ball of pleasure, you can't handle it."

"...What are you thinking about?" Chen Luo finally managed to utter this question after a long pause.

“It’s even worse for younger people; the minimum sentence is three years, and the maximum is death.” Chen Luo’s mother said nervously.

"Stop, stop, stop, let's not discuss this anymore. Where are you traveling now?" Chen Luo regretted asking the question.

And why does my mom know more than I do?

"Where are you traveling to? The Severn Valley... Honey, have you heard of it?"
