Their commission was suspicious.

[You can spend crystals to purify the 5 years of darkness accumulated in the Children's Paradise into an edible form. After purification, you can consume this darkness.]

"Sounds...quite interesting." Chen Luo looked at the talent panel and couldn't help but stroke his chin.

Because it's during a discount period, and Honkai Impact 3rd and Genshin Impact are in the same world, the Honkai Impact 3rd discount can be applied to the Genshin Impact world.

Based on this discount, the 5 years of darkness would require 2000 crystals, which is 1800 crystals with a 9% discount.

As for whether it's worth it...

"Let's start with a 5000-year limit," Chen Luo said to the talent panel.

……

"Sigh, it didn't work out after all," Wendy sighed as she walked out of Mondstadt Cathedral.

"Did you already know it wouldn't succeed?" Ying asked.

"I just think it's very likely, not certain."

"Then why are we even asking them?" Paimon chimed in from the side.

"Of course, it's to confirm whether the Sky Harp is in the cathedral. And if you ask me, the nuns in these cathedrals are too old-fashioned. The hero casually took the village's precious sword... isn't that a story that's perfect for being told? And yet they won't lend you the Sky Harp. So they don't really value you as an honorary knight."

“Hmph, I find your analogy rather rude, bard,” Paimon said.

“Oh dear, you’ve misunderstood me. This is disappointment with Mondstadt. Facing a hero, yet still being stingy with your sword,” Wendy explained.

"So what should we do next?"

“Since borrowing openly won’t work, we’ll have to resort to trickery. Hey, Alo, we’re over here.” Wendy suddenly waved to Yura and Chen Luo, who were walking towards them from a distance.

"Hey, Luo, what are you eating? Can I have one?" Wendy asked curiously as Chen Luo approached.

"Is that Pocky? It's a chocolate bar," Ying said after seeing the snack in Chen Luo's mouth.

"Can I have one? It looks delicious," Wendy said to Chen Luo.

"Hmm? You want to eat this?" Chen Luo asked, holding up the half-eaten chocolate bar.

“Yes, yes, it looks delicious.” Wendy nodded.

"Sure, of course, why not? But... it's fine to give you some, but what if you don't want to eat it and it goes to waste?"

“How could it be wasted?” Wendy shook her head.

"How about this, I'll give you 1/4 first. If you can finish it, I'll give you the remaining 3/4. But if you can't even finish 1/4, you have to promise me one thing." Chen Luo smiled slightly.

"What if I can finish it?" Wendy suddenly became interested.

You must have some misunderstanding about the recipes of the Wind God. There's nothing in the world that I, Wendy, can't eat.

"Then I won't ask you for any commissions for three days, no, two days."

Chen Luo originally wanted to say three days, but considering the potential losses of three days, and the possibility of losing the bet, he changed it to two days.

"Deal!" Wendy decisively approved.

“But I want to eat the half of the remaining one you have.” But Wendy immediately added.

Hmph, I, Wendy, am not stupid. What if you deliberately pull out a nasty chocolate bar? I'll just eat the one you're currently eating.

“Uh…” Chen Luo paused for a moment, then looked at the half chocolate bar in his hand.

You definitely have some issues.

"What? Is it not allowed?" Wendy's eyes revealed a sly smile.

I knew it was a trap.

"Well... okay then." Chen Luo reluctantly agreed, then wrapped his half-eaten chocolate bar in toilet paper, broke it in half again, and handed it to Wendy.

"Oh my, what a blissful thing it would be to not be disturbed for two days!" Wendy said with a smile as she popped the chocolate bar, which was less than the length of a finger, into her mouth.

"!!!" But just after Wendy took a bite, her eyes widened instantly.

Yura was already somewhat shocked by the fact that Chen Luo and Wendy shared a chocolate bar, but she was even more shocked after seeing the expression on Wendy's face.

Yura had never seen Wendy with such a ferocious expression.

That wasn't just eating a chocolate bar; it was an expression even more complex than the one you'd make while eating canned herring.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, Wendy, who was already feeling embarrassed, forced herself to swallow the chocolate bar.

"Wow, that's really brave. You're really impressive." Chen Luo gave the other person a thumbs up, then popped a quarter of the chocolate bar into his mouth.

"Then you'll have to eat another 3/4 of the chocolate bar," Chen Luo said, taking out another chocolate bar, cutting off 1/4 of it, and handing it to Wendy.

"Ugh!" Wendy looked at the slowly being offered chocolate bar and took a step back in horror, covering her mouth tightly.

Wendy quickly ran to the side, and then Chen Luo and the others heard several retching sounds.

But the melt-in-your-mouth chocolate bar gave Wendy no chance to back out; the taste of the rapidly melting chocolate bar lingered in Wendy's mouth for a long time, making it unforgettable.

"What is this disgusting stuff? How can you eat this?" After frantically swallowing several mouthfuls of the milk tea Chen Luo sent, Wendy avoided Chen Luo like the plague.

"Cold, damp, dark, disgusting, hateful, angry, destructive... Is this really food that humans can eat?"

"Hey Wendy, let's not talk about that yet. You still have three-quarters left to eat," Chen Luo said to Wendy after popping a quarter of the chocolate bar into his mouth.

"I'm not eating anymore, I'd rather die than eat anymore, I give up, I give up, okay?"

I, the mighty Fengshen, have eaten all sorts of things, but this is something I've never actually eaten before.

Saying this thing is anti-human is actually praising it.

In Wendy's mind, the chocolate bar she had just eaten was the worst thing she had ever eaten, and the second worst thing was the Judgment.

This clearly shows how incredibly delicious that chocolate bar was.

Hearing Wendy say that, Paimon couldn't help but become curious about the chocolate bar in Chen Luo's hand.

What kind of food could make Wendy find it hard to swallow?

"Paymon, you seem very curious. Would you like to have a bite?"

"No, no, no, don't!" Paimon shook his head frantically.

Although Paimon is a little foodie, he knows what he can and cannot eat. Things that even Wendy can't eat are naturally out of the question.

"What exactly is this thing?" Wendy finally asked the most profound question.

"Well, how should I put it? It's a negative emotion. Let's put it this way: if you lock someone in a dark, cramped, completely dark room for a year, you can only produce one chocolate bar like this. This kind of thing can be said to be the darkest and most terrifying thing in the world. Well, except for inner demons." As Chen Luo spoke, he put the remaining 3/4 of the chocolate bar into his mouth, but did not chew it; he just held it in his mouth.

Even Chen Luo dared not eat this too quickly.

But when Chen Luo looked at the crowd, he noticed that their gazes towards him were a little strange.

"Hey, don't look at me like that. It's not like I locked him in the dark room. I just got this by chance." Chen Luo quickly explained, feeling that he had been misunderstood.

"Sigh, I originally thought that what you said about being able to cook any dish was just an exaggeration, but I never expected that you could even use negative emotions as a dish. It's terrifying." Wendy admitted that she had never respected anything before, but now she began to respect Chen Luo.

Is it possible that Chen Luo could actually use himself as a cocktail ingredient to create a Wind God cocktail?

It's terrifying to think carefully.

"Hmm? To be made into a dish..." Chen Luo fell into deep thought after hearing Wendy's words.

Prepare it as a dish...

vegetable……

chocolate bar……

Negative emotions...

Culinary Master...

Yes, since my cooking skills in the bar have been elevated to the level of a master chef, and I can turn anything into a dish, there's no reason why I can't turn negative emotions into chocolate bars.

Although I don't actually have a recipe right now, wouldn't I be able to experience the recipe by eating more foods?

After all, the materials were provided by myself...

Chen Luo shifted his gaze to the remaining 4997 black chocolate bars in his backpack.

It took 180 crystals to divide 5000 years of darkness, and then that darkness was made into 5000 black chocolate bars.

For non-demons, the taste of this chocolate bar is simply the most unpalatable thing in the world, but for Chen Luo and the Herrscher of Knowledge, it is only slightly bitter, and then a little sweet, so it can be considered a decent snack.

Of course, you shouldn't eat too much.

Eating too many desserts can cause tooth decay, and eating too many of these dark chocolate bars can cause headaches.

It doesn't make sense that the talent panel can make dark chocolate bars but Chen Luo can't, considering he's a culinary master.

Even if he ate 5000 dark chocolate bars, he still couldn't figure out the recipe?

50,000 years of darkness requires 2000 crystals, and with a 10% discount, it would cost 1800 crystals. However, if you craft it yourself, you can save 1800 crystals.

Consider the 180 crystals already spent as tuition fees.

"Wendy, you're a genius!" Chen Luo couldn't help but exclaim.

"Huh?" Wendy looked completely bewildered.

Chapter 154 Chen Luo: That's right, I am a member of the Fools!

"We didn't manage to borrow the Sky Harp just now, but at least we got some information. The Sky Harp is indeed located inside the Cathedral of Mondstadt," Wendy said, glancing at Chen Luo who was eating a chocolate bar.

"Nonsense, of course I can't lend it to you. To borrow the Sky Harp, you need the signatures of the bishop and the acting captain," Yura said helplessly.

How utterly ignorant must one be to think they can just casually obtain the Sky Harp? Do you think the Sky Harp belongs to your family?

"But speaking of which, why did we choose such a secluded place to discuss this?" Paimon asked, looking puzzled.

Chen Luo and Paimon are currently discussing their issues in the most secluded and gloomy corner of a square. Although no one else can find them, the environment is not very pleasant.

"Please, what do you think you're talking about? Is it acceptable to openly discuss such issues?" Chen Luo said speechlessly.

"What are we talking about? Aren't we talking about borrowing the Sky Harp?" Paimon asked, puzzled.

"Didn't you hear what Wendy just said? If you can't borrow openly, you can only get it by trickery. Tell me, how else can you get it by trickery besides stealing? By buying it?" Chen Luo rolled his eyes at the silly Paimon.

"Huh? Are you going to steal it?" Paimon's voice was loud at first, but it quieted down after Ying gestured for him to speak.

"What else can we do if we don't steal? The problem now is who will steal it?" Chen Luo said.

"Besides singing, I don't have any strengths to be proud of, and I'm all alone in Mondstadt. If I'm caught, there's no one to seek justice for me, so I'll definitely be punished severely," Wendy stated first.

“Yura won’t do either. Yura’s identity is extremely sensitive. If she gets caught stealing something… then it’s really over.” Chen Luo subconsciously stood in front of Yura to defend her.

"..." Yura hesitated, wanting to say something but stopping herself.

“But you’re different, Traveler. You’re a rising star of the Knights of the Night who have contributed to Mondstadt. If you make a mistake, a good explanation might be enough to cover it up. Besides, it seems the guards here go off duty at night.” Venti whispered this little secret to Ying.

"But I didn't want to steal anything..." Ying said innocently.

"Manager..." Ying couldn't help but look at Chen Luo.

Ying remembered Chen Luo saying that as long as a person's wish is strong enough, he will help others fulfill their wishes. Since that's the case...

[Ding! You have a new request!]

Reward: 50 Primogems

"You guys really know how to take this commission to a whole new level." Seeing that Chen Luo had already issued the mission, Ying couldn't help but take another look.

This Ying is simply a genius! She's only known me for a short time, yet she's already learned how to boss people around.

"Alright, I'll grant your wish. You might not believe it, but I'm actually quite good at infiltration," Chen Luo said with a sigh.

Chen Luo's Master of Stealth, a four-star item, has not been used since he obtained it, but now is the time to put it to good use.

“Very good, the candidates have been decided. There are still about two hours until dark, so we can infiltrate more smoothly tonight.” Wendy looked up at the sky and said after estimating the approximate time.

"Sigh, no need. Infiltration isn't something so inconvenient. A true infiltrator can enter and exit Mondstadt Cathedral during the day as if it were nothing." Chen Luo snorted coldly.

"Is it that amazing?" Wendy exclaimed.

But Wendy thought about Chen Luo's elusive bar again, and then she felt relieved.

"Then let's go to your bar and hear your good news." Wendy was very pleased with Chen Luo's positive response.

“No, don’t go to my bar, go to Angel’s Gift.” Chen Luo suddenly interrupted Wendy.
