Their commission was suspicious.

Chen Luo truly hadn't expected that the "world within a pot" item wasn't a random item, but rather an item obtained by completing a quest.

However, this is also good news in a sense.

Random items cannot be copied by the River God's abilities, but reward items from quests can generally be copied.

In this way, Chen Luo can have three worlds within a pot.

Moreover, the reason for the emergence of this world within a pot is somewhat strange, yet quite reasonable.

Another timeline?

Chen Luo now has a very open-minded view of timelines; it's simply a matter of choosing an unexpected path at a turning point in fate, leading to the current outcome.

Does this kind of thing happen very rarely? No, it happens a lot.

Or perhaps Chen Luo had come into contact with something like this from the beginning, such as the Honkai Impact 3rd world.

In other words, Yvette's dream should have been the one Chen Luo originally experienced, but that changed when Chen Luo took an arrow to the knee.

Chen Luo could access Yvette's memories, so he remembered that Sylvia was supposed to come to Xinghai City with Yvette two months ago, but for some reason she didn't come, which led to the difference in timing and the different ending.

This resulted in Yvette being dead for over a month before Chen Luo resurrected her.

It sounds reasonable that, due to a timeline issue, one acquires a tool that can capture fragments of the future timeline.

[From a generally rational perspective, you might have killed your main female character from the very beginning and turned her into a doll.]

"Don't talk nonsense. That was just an inevitable result of historical development. Back then, I didn't have the amulet that Sister Sylvia gave me, I didn't know about her relationship with Sister Sylvia, and I also got the Little Evil God's Flying Kick... What's the point of talking nonsense? I just went up and kicked her, didn't I?"

Chen Luo has never regretted killing Yvette at the start of the game.

Those who commit murder should be prepared to be killed themselves.

But Yvette's death was indeed too tragic, which is a fact.

The specific problem might lie in your first 10-pull, right? Wasn't your first 10-pull supposed to guarantee a special talent accessory?

"That's what they say, but it's probably because different talents lead to different outcomes."

Chen Luo opened the talent panel, which displayed four talent accessories that Chen Luo had acquired so far.

Zero Bar, Teleportation Anchor, Moon Clock, Angler.

These four props are the most outrageous props Chen Luo has ever obtained, bar none.

He kept saying these items were 5-star, but Chen Luo wouldn't trade them even when 6-star items came along.

[...From a generally rational perspective, that's true, but could you please give me some face?]

Even the user-friendly plugin itself knows how much these four things help Chen Luo, especially the first three.

The fourth one seems particularly useless; it should be an item obtained in the early game, rather than something acquired in the late game.

If I'm not mistaken, your first 10-pull will guarantee the first three talent accessories, and aside from the first one, the other two will lead to the Yvette ending. At least you won't have to kill her and then revive her more than a month later.

"Yes."

If Chen Luo obtains a teleportation anchor point, he will naturally place one in his living room first.

This way, even if Ivy pulls him into the war effort later, Chen Luo can still get out at any time.

By the time Chen Luo returned to the battlefield after a second or two, Yvette was practically starving to death.

Chen Luo can just pick up the corpse then.

Of the three different solutions represented by the three talent accessories, Chen Luo stubbornly chose the first one, which was also the most unfortunate outcome for Yvette. Of course, this was certainly not Chen Luo's fault.

Everything is a choice made by Steins;Gate!

Regardless, Chen Luo is about to obtain an important prop that will drive the plot forward—the world within a pot.

Well done, Yvette!

However, Chen Luo is indeed busy with something right now.

When Chen Luo thought of the world within the pot, he thought of Little A. When he thought of Little A, he thought of Isamara. And when he thought of Isamara, he glanced at the time of Isamara's appearance.

32 hours.

The countdown kept oscillating between fast and slow, but thankfully it didn't go so far as to reverse.

When the countdown reaches one hour or ten minutes, Chen Luo will come to the bottom of the pit to wait, hoping that the countdown will not stop at 99% and leave Chen Luo waiting foolishly at the bottom of the pit for a whole day.

……

"Huh? Skadi, are you going out dressed like that?" Chen Luo was sitting in the bar, still thinking about Isamara, when he saw Skadi push the door open and enter.

Skadi has now changed into her Deepsea Hunter outfit, and most importantly, she's wearing a hat, indicating that Skadi is about to go out.

Isamara's return is important, but her identity is also crucial. Chen Luo needs to help Isamara complete her identity mission as soon as possible and increase his chances of becoming a shady merchant. However, it is currently nighttime in the dream world, so he can only try his luck at the bar.

The Herrscher of Consciousness, who had always been with Chen Luo, was unusually not in Chen Luo's sea of ​​consciousness today. Mainly because if she stayed in Chen Luo's sea of ​​consciousness, she wouldn't be able to play the dream game.

Xiao Shi seems to be completely addicted to being a con artist and can't extricate himself from it.

“That’s right, I’m going to Lungmen,” Skadi said.

"Longmen? What are you going to Longmen for?"

"Go find the acting doctor at Rhodes Island, who was also my former psychiatrist... Yesterday, I heard from Specter, who was also a former comrade of mine, that she met an acquaintance. According to the information given by Dr. Kal'tsit, the surveillance footage showed that the doctor was my former psychiatrist, but there was no face, only the voice."

"I've come here to ask you for some intelligence. Is there any operational guidance like before?" Skadi asked Chen Luo.

"..."

[Ding! You have a new request!]

[Searching for Chen Luo]: Aba Aba

Rewards: 233 Primogems + Skadi Affection Level 10 + Limited Edition Skadi Outfit (Black Stockings)

Difficulty: 3 stars

What can Chen Luoneng say about this commission?

Of course I accepted!

Chen Luo couldn't be more welcoming of situations like this where a request is delivered to his door.

It's definitely not for the black stockings, it's for the raw gemstones.

Although completing this task would be very simple for Chen Luo, he still felt it was necessary to ask a question.

"Skadi, do you really not have a picture of your doctor? Do you really know your doctor's name?" Chen Luo couldn't help but ask.

How can there be such a goofy killer whale in the world?

It's so outrageous that it's actually true.

“I don’t know. I just need to know who my opponent is and what I need to do. I’ll go get the information about the Doctor from Dr. Kal’tsit later. The main issue is that the Doctor in Rhodes Island’s official intelligence always wears a hood, and I’ve heard that many operators have private photos of the Doctor, but I… I’m not familiar with them.” Skadi shook her head.

Skadi is like that silly orca who skipped the tutorial in a game: I don't know where I am or what I'm supposed to do, but I know I'm going to go on a killing spree!

That's understandable, though, since Skadi has no friends on Rhodes Island and therefore no way of knowing certain things.

However, Skadi still possessed some of the self-discipline of a bounty hunter; at least she knew to ask Kal'tsit for information.

In fact, a bounty hunter's self-discipline should include: not talking, not interrupting, and only completing the mission.

Who cares about your emotional entanglements? Just complete the task, right?

Chen Luo was also quite glad that Skadi knew to contact him first, which meant that the information he had provided to Skadi in the past had satisfied Skadi.

Otherwise, Chen Luo would have missed out on Skadi's black stockings...and the raw gem!

"Or do you need some basic information before you can give me more detailed information?" Skadi asked Chen Luo, who hadn't spoken for a long time.

"No, if you want information about the Doctor, I can give it to you anytime, but I'm curious why you're looking for him?"

“Let him help heal Specter. Don’t let our psychiatrist’s usual lack of professionalism fool you; he’s incredibly skilled in psychology. Perhaps he can help Specter resolve his mental struggles,” Skadi said.

[Ding! You have a new request!]

“I accept your wish, but I need to remind you that Ghost Shark’s problems are not just mental. The main issue is that the large amount of Originium has affected his nervous system, coupled with the long-term torture by the Deep Sea Church, which has led to his mental abnormality.”

“Oh, thanks for reminding me.” Skadi nodded, then just looked at Chen Luo.

"Aren't you curious about how I know about Specter's physical condition?" Skadi didn't ask anything, but Chen Luo couldn't help but ask.

Why don't you ask? You should ask me!

"But Luo Luo, don't you know everything? Didn't you say so? In that case, it's reasonable for you to know about Ghost Shark's identity, right?" Skadi tilted her head, wondering why Chen Luo would ask such a question.

"...You win!"

Chen Luo hesitated, then finally chose to remain silent.

Generally speaking, given Chen Luo's investigative and library abilities, he should indeed know most of the information about the Ark world. Therefore, it's not surprising that Chen Luo knows about Ghost Shark's condition.

But...but...never mind.

Titi is right, Titi is not wrong!

“Then the intelligence I need… Oh, right, this is an internal matter for Rhodes Island, so there might not be much of a bounty, or even any. But this matter is very important to me, so you can make a request.” Skadi thought for a moment and then offered her reward.

"...No problem, but I want to know if you want information or to find the Doctor."

"Find the Doctor, huh?" Skadi was a little confused as to why Chen Luo was asking such a question.

I need information precisely to find the Doctor, don't I?

Isn't the reason for seeking out a PhD doctor precisely because that PhD doctor was actually one's former psychologist?

What to do after finding a PhD? We'll discuss that later.

"Then let's go. I'll go to Rhodes Island with you."

"Hmm?" Skadi seemed puzzled by Chen Luo's decision.

You'll find out in a moment.

Chen Luo decided to give Skadi a mini-psychological shock in a little while!

"Speaking of which, Skadi, do you think that psychologist is better or me?" Chen Luo suddenly asked.

"???" by Skadi

Good news.jpg

Chapter 1279 [Titi's Bible] and the Year of Arrival at Lungmen

On one hand, there's the therapist I've known for years, who's been providing me with psychological counseling, but it's been completely ineffective; yet, after all these years, I've developed a fondness for them.

On one hand, there's the bar owner, whom I've only met a few days ago, yet I feel a strong connection to him, as if we're related by blood, and who has been a great help to me.

Skadi was so caught up in her dilemma about which of the two was better for her that she almost bumped into Ai... Amiya around the corner.

“Miss Skadi.” Amiya recognized the elite operator at a glance, who had a low profile within Rhodes Island but was very powerful.

In fact, Rhodes Island has many unsung but powerful elite operators, such as Ace and Tulip... (They are unsung, but unlike Skadi who has no presence.)

As the administrator of Rhodes Island, Amiya naturally needs to learn to recognize each and every member.

"Hello." Skadi nodded.

Skadi knows Amiya and Kal'tsit, but not Chen Luo.

Chen Luo hasn't shown his face since Skadi arrived.

It's unbelievable, but it would be normal if it happened to Skadi.

"Miss Skadi, where are we going?"

“Dr. Kal'tsit told me to go to Lungmen to find the acting doctor from Rhodes Island. I’m going to get the information now,” Skadi replied.

"Huh? Didn't you say it was already handed over to Exusiai and the others? Why did you specifically ask Miss Skadi to go? Miss Skadi isn't exactly a professional in finding missing persons, is she?" Amiya asked, somewhat puzzled.
