Their commission was suspicious.

"Can I use it for a while?"

"What do you want to do?" Prometheus asked.

"Hey Prometheus, can you collect all the anime/manga images of beautiful girls online, and then have me randomly generate an erotic anime/manga image by inputting specific keywords?" Chen Luo asked curiously.

"...I will report the conversation to Dr. Mei."

"You're snitching again!" Chen Luo roared in fury.

"I'm going to give you a really nasty nickname! Unless you draw me 1000 lewd pictures!"

An imagined AI: powerful, knowledgeable, omnipotent, treating all of humanity like bots, and attempting to conquer humankind!

AI in real life: drawing erotic images!

If it were a normal puppet-making process, Chen Luo could spend 10 minutes hand-crafting it. With the assistance of Void Treasury, Chen Luo would only need one minute.

But now that he's a mechanical puppet and can't display his special abilities, and without the help of the Void Treasury, Chen Luo can only handcraft the parts bit by bit. Fortunately, the Spiral Workshop has a wide range of equipment and a considerable number of finished products.

Even so, Chen Luo still needs a considerable amount of time.

Fortunately, Chen Luo has enough free time now.

People can't work non-stop all the time; they always need to rest. For Chen Luo, making dolls is a kind of rest.

This task isn't urgent, so Chen Luo can come and make it whenever he's bored.

Alternatively, it can be produced during a plot jump.

However, just after Chen Luo finished confirming Prometheus's data, he was summoned by Dr. Mei.

"Dr. Mei, I really didn't mean to let Prometheus use her computing power to draw me a two-dimensional anime girl. You have to believe me," Chen Luo said, raising three fingers to assure her.

"You are not allowed to use Prometheus's computing power to do such strange things. However, the reason I called you here is not because of this matter, but because the investigation conducted by the Fire Moth over the past hour has revealed something, namely... that a Herrscher may have actually appeared this time. And it is a Herrscher in the mental realm."

"All those who browsed the Seven Saints Summoning Forum but suddenly fell unconscious showed no physical abnormalities, yet remained unconscious. Tests revealed that their cerebral cortex was still in an excited state, suggesting they were dreaming."

"Have you found the cause?" Chen Luo asked.

“The Seven Saints Summon,” Dr. Mei said.

"Again? Dr. Mei, you know me. If I were a Herrscher, you would be the first person I kill. Because in my eyes, you are the key to leading the future and defeating the Honkai." Chen Luo tried to prove his innocence.

"...There's no need to prove it this way. I believe you. It's not actually because of the game 'Seven Saints Summoning,' but because of the four words 'Seven Saints Summoning.' According to experiments, when someone sees the four words 'Seven Saints Summoning,' they fall into a deep sleep. It's speculated to be a kind of memetic infection."

"Meme-level?" Kevin frowned.

Kevin didn't understand.

"It means... people receive a message and then react, that's meme contamination, and it's contagious. It's originally a science fiction term, but it's perfect for explaining the abilities of the newly emerged Eighth Herrscher here," Dr. Mei explained.

"I'm having Prometheus search the forums for the original contaminating word that caused this sleeping sickness incident. But because the Seven Saints Summoning Forum is so popular, it's impossible to find a suitable candidate." As she said this, Dr. Mei glanced at Chen Luo.

"The Seven Saints Summoning no longer belongs to me; it belongs to the Fire-Chasing Moth," Chen Luo quickly said.

“I know, but spreading these polluting terms online is really efficient. And… the keywords are already starting to change,” Dr. Mei said.

"Sure?"

"Confirmed. Because Prometheus shut down the Seven Saints Summoning Forum and the official group, and even stopped the entire game, she changed the polluting words after seeing that she had no further use for them. The researchers can confirm this."

As for where the experimenters came from, they were death row inmates.

If a death row inmate glances at the four words "Seven Saints Summoning" and nothing happens, it means the contaminated words have changed.

Although this is inhumane, the world is about to end, so why care about inhumanity?

The current Eighth Herrscher can only pollute one word, and once the Seven Saints Summoning loses its value, it must be replaced immediately.

The Eighth Herrscher's efficiency is still too slow. If the Twelfth Herrscher were to be paired with the Eighth Herrscher's abilities, with the Eighth Herrscher responsible for contaminating the words and the Twelfth Herrscher of Erosion responsible for sending the contaminated words to everyone's phones for forced display, wiping out 1/10 of humanity would be no problem at all.

With so many people, the hospital could be completely overwhelmed.

"I've already had Prometheus monitor what words the person who occasionally falls into a deep sleep has browsed, trying to locate the Eighth Herrscher as soon as possible. So don't waste Prometheus's computing power," Dr. Mei emphasized to Chen Luo.

"I'm really innocent. I was just saying it. I don't have the authority to control Prometheus." Chen Luo felt truly wronged when he saw Dr. Mei looking at him.

"Dr. Spasi, let's put aside the treatment of Honkai for now and first research a special drug that can block certain words, in order to deal with the Eighth Herrscher whose abilities have not yet been fully analyzed," Dr. Mei said to Spasi.

“Okay.” Dr. Spacy nodded.

Although Dr. Spassy loathed Honkai because it took away his wife and daughter, wasn't the best way to take revenge on Honkai the Herrscher?

"And what about me? Dr. Mei, you specifically brought me here, surely it wasn't just to inform me of this matter?"

"Well, I just wanted to tell you that your vacation for the next period of time is canceled. Starting today, you will be in a state of war, and the main focus of the surgery will be on mental perception fusion warriors. Mental perception fusion warriors should perform well in mental battles."

"Understood." Dr. Mei's response was correct, so Chen Luo would not object.

"By the way, is it acceptable that your number of surgeries per day has increased from three to ten?"

"Mei, please stop joking. I will do my best, but 10 times is too many. My ability has a cooldown period. Four times at most."

"it is good."

"..."

Dr. Mei's bargaining space is as high as ever.

"The storm is brewing... This time, the Herrscher will be a severe test for the Flame Chaser." Mei muttered to herself after Chen Luo and Spassy left.

“I will protect you,” Kevin assured Dr. May, standing beside her.

“No, Kevin, it’s not about that. This Herrscher is different from the previous ones. Its powers are strange, unlike any of the previous Herrschers. It doesn’t seem to be inclined towards direct combat. Kevin, I have a bad feeling…” Mei said with great concern.

Chapter 1269 The Golden Garden in the Dream - Sakura, the Office Worker

Have you ever thought about how life is structured?

As the sun and moon rise and fall, mountains and rivers converge, and life may be a series of chance encounters.

To meet someone, you need to be in the same era, in the same city, at the same time, and in the same place, and then quietly wait for fate to arrange the combinations.

Those ordinary life trajectories began to intertwine, and ordinary days gradually transformed into a splendid and radiant existence.

and so……

"Sakura, did you get off work so late today?" Chen Luo sat on the sofa, watching the pink figure walk into the house in the moonlight.

"It's alright, isn't it? But you, do you really not have any homework to do?" Sakura, dressed in an office lady outfit, took off her earmuffs and fiddled with the pink ears on them, then looked enviously at Chen Luo, who seemed to have nothing to do.

Working overtime is really tough.

"A super invincible homework-writing machine, my new invention! With it, I'll never have to worry about homework again, and I can dedicate my limited life to a more limitless career!" Chen Luo introduced his new invention.

"So, should we buy one for Ling? Just one will free her from the hassle of doing homework and give her more time to play in the Golden Courtyard. It only costs 50 yuan."

Chen Luo was promoting his product while holding a machine the size of a washbasin.

"...No need, I think it's better for Ling to solve her homework problems herself. You're very smart, even without doing homework, you can keep up with the school's teaching progress, and you've already found a job at such a young age. But Ling can't do that. If she doesn't study hard, she won't get good grades, if she doesn't get good grades she won't be able to go to a good university, if she doesn't go to a good university she won't be able to find a good job, and if she can't find a good job she'll end up like her older sister, working overtime every day..." Sakura's voice gradually filled with more and more resentment.

"Alright, alright, stop talking, it's giving me a headache. You might not believe it, but I originally wanted to be an archaeologist rather than a researcher, but given how dangerous it is for archaeologists these days, research is definitely easier," Chen Luo said.

Chen Luo had indeed considered becoming an archaeologist, but archaeologists, folklorists, and historians are all very dangerous professions.

"Let's not talk about that, Sakura. How was your experience with the fox earmuffs after trying them out for a day? They're the perfect companion for you this winter. Not only do they protect your ears from the cold, but you can also receive information through the two pink ears on them, ensuring your hearing isn't impaired." Chen Luo looked at the pink earmuffs in Sakura's hand, waiting for her feedback.

“Very good.” Sakura nodded, seemingly quite satisfied with Chen Luo’s special item.

"Cheng Hui, 10 yuan." Chen Luo held out his hand to Ying.

"Sigh, it's possible, but can I really break even with ten yuan?" Sakura asked after taking out ten yuan from her wallet.

Sakura felt that props like these could easily sell for hundreds or even thousands of dollars.

"Doing business is just a hobby of mine. I wouldn't sell this kind of thing to anyone for any price," Chen Luo said.

"So you're really not going to buy Ling a super homework-doing robot?"

"No."

"A broken bone costs one yuan."

"No, we don't want that either. Sakura needs to focus on her studies right now. Also, you're not allowed to sell this machine to her alone. Otherwise, she'll spend the rest of her time playing on her phone instead of studying."

"Sister Ying, what era are we living in? Be more open-minded. Okay, I won't say anything more. Don't worry, I won't sell this robot to her. After all, this robot is quite expensive." Chen Luo raised his hands in fright at Ying's staring gaze.

"So do you need tutoring services? We guarantee to improve Ling's final exam score by 20 points, for only 20 yuan."

"Forget it. By the way, where are Kevin and the others?"

"They're still on their trip, but they'll probably be back in Golden Courtyard soon. What do you want for dinner? I'll cook. Anyway, Snake isn't back yet, so it's just the two of us left in Golden Courtyard."

“A Manchu Han Imperial Feast,” Sakura replied immediately.

"If that's how you want to do it, then I'm not doing it. Can't you be normal?"

"Then let's have fried rice with egg," Sakura said, stretching and yawning.

Working overtime is just too painful.

Being a corporate slave is really tough.

"Okay." Chen Luo nodded, then turned and went to the kitchen to start cooking.

Looking into the distance, Chen Luo and Ying are inside a luxurious multi-story villa.

The villa is lavishly decorated and occupies a huge area. It is built on a mountain and is obviously very valuable.

Golden Garden

That's the name of this villa.

"You seem quite content with entertaining yourself." A clear voice echoed in Chen Luo's mind as he prepared lunch.

"This isn't just for fun, I'm working. After all, I can get raw gems," Chen Luo said while making dinner.

Even in his dreams, Chen Luo can still collect commissions.

To some extent, a wish is a desire; as long as there is a desire, one can issue a commission.

Moreover, this dream is not just a simple dream, but a lucid dream.

So why can't we accept the commission?

However, there are some basic rules to follow when trying to fulfill a wish in this way. For example, firstly, it must be something she genuinely wants, and secondly, Chen Luo must be able to help in this matter.

Moreover, if the wish is too outrageous, it will cause the person trapped in the dream to break free from the dream.

Furthermore, perhaps because it's within a dream world, the amount of Originium from quests in dreams is generally very low, and there are only Originium as a reward, with no other quest rewards.

It's generally very low, but it's still better than nothing.

[I never expected that Sakura would be the first of the thirteen heroes to fall victim to this trick.]

“Yes, I really didn’t expect it. Who knew that Sakura, who seems calm and serious on the surface, would actually browse the [My Little Sister is the Cutest in the World] forum?” Chen Luo nodded in agreement.

Although Chen Luo felt that the humanized plugin had foreseen this future, knowing it was one thing, being surprised was another.

[But you really don't get bored, do you? Xiao Shi constructed a world-wide dream within the Eighth Herrscher's dream, while you constructed a city-wide dream within Xiao Shi's dream.]

"Why do you find this boring? This is a rare opportunity for the thirteen heroes to appear together. Even though it's a fake daily scene, at least it can be kept as a memento. We can make a 24-episode series about what happened in the Golden Garden and sell it to Alicia. Alicia will definitely be very interested," Chen Luo said with considerable confidence.

So you're planning to wipe out all thirteen heroes in this Eighth Herrscher incident?

"You can see it clearly, so why ask?"

[I just don't understand. After all, if you actually do that, you'll have to go through all the trouble of lowering the threat level yourself, only to get one dream in return.]

"You don't understand, do you? This is a director's restraint. Besides, it's a lucid dream now, which in a sense is equivalent to letting them experience an alternative life. It's a rare opportunity to have the Eighth Herrscher, so why not give it a try? After all, it will be difficult for them to have this kind of experience in the future." Chen Luo still held a different view on this matter than the humanized plugin.

As long as you're enjoying yourself, that's all that matters.

What can the humanized plugin do? The humanized plugin simply presents all possible future options to Chen Luo. How Chen Luo chooses is none of the humanized plugin's business.

"So you're just a humanized plugin, not a person... Oh, right, I just remembered something. Since you usually show so many emotions, do you have desires? Assuming you have desires, can I take commissions from you?" A sudden inspiration flashed in Chen Luo's mind.

From a purely rational perspective, this is indeed the case.

No matter how much Chen Luo wanted to obtain Primogems before, he couldn't post a Primogem request for himself. But the Humanized Plugin is different. Strictly speaking, the Humanized Plugin is a derivative product of the goods Chen Luo purchased, so maybe he really could get requests from the Humanized Plugin.

【?! ! !】

[My dearest master, can't you be a decent human being? You're not even satisfied with harming Wendy and the others; are you starting to think about harming yourself now? This is absolutely terrifying!]

This is a truly ruthless person! A ruthless person who doesn't even spare himself!
