Their commission was suspicious.

Looking at Aponia, who seemed to enjoy watching the drama unfold, Chen Luo said angrily.

While Chen Luo was still dealing with the Herrscher of Knowledge, Aponia unleashed a powerful attack from the sidelines. Ultimately, this whole affair was caused by Aponia!

“I have one.” Aponia took out her wallet.

"You didn't!"

“Night shifts are very lucrative at our hospital, so it really is,” Aponia said.

"I said no, so it's no!"

Aponia is truly broke; this isn't referring to a dream, but to reality.

Aponia is still a prisoner in the deepest place.

Although the Firemoth has lost its ability to imprison Aponia, Aponia has not officially joined the Firemoth and still considers herself a prisoner.

Aponia's sanatorium is gone, and they can only rely on wages, but the Deepest Place doesn't pay wages, so Aponia is really broke.

What's Chen Luo doing part-time in the dream world? Isn't it just to farm the number of times he can play the shady merchant game? What's the point of playing dream games if you don't have money?

And so, Chen Luo sent Aponia to her room to sleep.

At the same time, Chen Luo did not forget to put the children from the puppet world who had long been placed in the sanatorium into the dream.

Sigh, nowadays, besides Chen Luo, the busiest people are probably the children in the sanatorium.

During the day, she was urged to learn to read by Aponia from 50,000 years in the future. At night, after falling asleep and entering her dreams, she was still supervised by Aponia from 50,000 years in the future to read and write...

Because time in dreams is the opposite of time in reality, the children in the sanatorium can seamlessly transition between reality and dream time, always seeing the same time, whether in reality or after entering the dream at night.

Fortunately, the dream world can be considered as sleep; otherwise, the children in the sanatorium would have given up long ago.

Even the hardest-working employees only work 996 hours a day, while the children in the nursing home have already reached a terrifying 007 schedule since childhood.

It can truly be described as terrifying.

However, since Aponia is currently working the night shift, she probably hasn't seen the children yet, since they haven't arrived at the sanatorium in the dream world by the time Aponia gets off work.

In reality, it's only a little before 6 o'clock, and even children don't go to sleep at 6 pm.

Although he didn't see them after get off work, if Aponia sleeps less in her dreams, and finishes her night shift at 6 a.m. and goes to work at noon, then Chen Luo can indeed fulfill Aponia's wish to see the children in her dreams.

In this way, Chen Luo wouldn't be considered to have broken his promise to Aponia.

What are Aponia's feelings?

Because Aponia is a psycho-sensory fusion warrior, she can work overtime for extended periods in her dreams.

As for the children, in order to make them look forward to using the helmet to enter their dreams at night with joy, Chen Luo deliberately blurred the pain that the children would experience in their dreams in the future.

This way, they can look forward to the dream world before entering it, without expecting to have to study inside.

However, after Aponia returned to her room, the argument between Chen Luo and the Herrscher of Knowledge continued.

The Lawbringer believed that since Chen Luo could warm other people's beds, he could naturally warm his own as well. Then Chen Luo revealed that Xiao Shi didn't have a bed at all.

Xiao Shi only had a boat.

In the end, Chen Luo shifted the blame, separating Pado and Hua who were embracing, and diverting the attention of the Herrscher of Knowledge to Hua.

"Hua, do you need someone to do your graduation thesis for you? You help me with her, and I'll help you with your graduation thesis," Chen Luo said, pushing Hua in front of the Herrscher of Knowledge.

"No, I need to do my own graduation thesis so that I can prove my abilities," Hua quickly shook his head.

For an honest person like Hua, having someone else write his thesis is a bit too much.

"If I can't do it for you, then I'll guide you. Don't worry, with me guiding you through your graduation thesis, you'll at least get an excellent graduate," Chen Luo said.

"But……"

"Alright, enough with the 'buts.' Even if it's a good school, unless it's the very top-tier institution, their undergraduate projects are just for reference; they're not very practical. Do you really expect an undergraduate to make a significant contribution to society?" Chen Luo waved his hand and said.

For an applied major to truly achieve academic success, an undergraduate degree is not enough; at least a graduate degree is required.

Hua's current identity is that of a college student, someone who is about to start an internship. Besides the internship, Hua is also troubled by her graduation thesis.

This is the life Hua should have experienced. Hua is not old to begin with; she should just be a college student who hasn't graduated yet. But in reality, she has to give up her studies and join the Moth Chaser to dedicate herself to resisting the Honkai.

Even among the Moths of Flame, Hua is considered one of the youngest warriors...

Gretchen's comparative theory is outside the scope of this discussion.

Greta is just an artist, what does she know about warriors?

Although Hua insisted on writing her graduation thesis herself, which prevented the deal from being finalized, the promise of an internship stamp from Chen Luo led to the deal being completed in an unconventional way.

As everyone knows, there are only two things college students can't refuse: academic credits and internship stamps.

Although Chen Luo's talk about idol trainees sounded a bit frivolous, Hua still couldn't resist the temptation of the internship certificate.

But when Hua stood before the Lawgiver of Consciousness, he had a strange feeling...

"Could my dad be cheating on me?" That was Hua's thought.

No one would think that Hua and Xiaoshi are the same person, but no one would think that the two are unrelated. However, since it is a dream, there is no problem.

Looking at the dazed Hua in front of him, the Lawbringer of Knowledge couldn't be bothered to argue with Chen Luo.

Xiao Shi has teased the memory entity Hua and Fu Hua, and now it's Hua's turn from 5 years ago.

The Hua before me could be described as having eyes filled with a mixture of clarity and foolishness.

Having been tempered by the moth-to-a-flame experience, Hua Du wouldn't be much smarter, let alone the Hua created by the college student in the dream.

Under the strong insistence of the Law of Knowledge, Hua finally gave in and, under the fatherly gaze of Chen Luo, led Xiao Shi to the city beneath their feet.

In the dream, it's just dawn, the perfect time to go out and have fun.

Chen Luo? Of course, Chen Luo went there to swindle and deceive.

Xiao Shi didn't deconstruct the city that Chen Luo had created, so she could accompany Hua to explore the city with plenty of curiosity. However, Chen Luo already knew the city inside and out, so the exploration lost its meaning.

However, Chen Luo built this city to increase his chances of becoming a shady merchant. Since it's not even dinner time yet in real time, it's reasonable for Chen Luo to increase his chances of becoming a shady merchant, right?

"Your family's charlatan tendencies are truly inherited from one another," the user-friendly plugin quipped.

"Oh, is my dad a con artist too?"

No, I'm referring to you and the Herald of Knowledge.

"..."

……

"This world is really strange." Yukari Yakumo said as she walked through the various dark corners of the city with her new pet.

After playing this game all day, Yukari Yakumo and the others had pretty much figured out this dream game.

This dream game takes place in a vast dream world that may be even larger than Earth, but currently all players' activities are limited to this city.

If someone wants to try exploring places outside this city, a phrase will come to mind:

Let's explore the areas ahead later.

Yukari Yakumo was absolutely fed up with hearing that. She was so angry she wanted to hit someone!

There are techniques involved in capturing Honkai Beasts.

For example, it is difficult to encounter Honkai Beasts in bustling city centers because that is the setting. On the contrary, it is easier to find rarer Honkai Beasts in dark, secluded alleys.

For example, the Knight-class Honkai Impact 3rd character that Yukari Yakumo is currently sitting on is an example of this.

There's nothing special about Knight-class Honkai Beasts, but Yakumo Yukari's Knight-class Honkai Beast is golden.

As for the assassin who was originally sitting on the horse? He was thrown into a Poké Ball by Yukari Yakumo.

Now it's Yukari Yakumo riding a horse!

At the end of the road that Yukari Yakumo was walking on, she saw a figure wearing a hood.

Upon seeing this, Yukari Yakumo's eyes lit up.

We've encountered a strange merchant!

This is also one of the Easter eggs in the game.

In this game, you can't just spend money whenever you want; you need a channel.

The mysterious traveling merchants operate through this channel, often selling unusual items. For example…

"Honkai Beast Name Change Card?" Upon seeing this item among the strange merchant's goods, Yukari Yakumo subconsciously glanced at the mount she was sitting on.

"I bought it! Holy crap, why is it so expensive? Why don't you just rob someone?"

"Would you like to refresh the inventory?" the hooded figure replied mechanically.

"No need to refresh! It's only 10 yen, I'll buy it!"

With a wave of her hand, Yukari Yakumo bought the name change card, completely unaware of the precautions written on the bottom of the card: Yukari Yakumo and Cirno are not allowed to use it!

Chapter 1305 The Wounded Boy and the Mech Girl

"Chen Luo, you despicable scoundrel, you're deliberately targeting me, aren't you?"

Chen Luo had only been sitting down in the bar for a short while when Yakumo Yukari stormed over.

"What's wrong?" Chen Luo asked curiously.

"Ah, you're asking me what's wrong? Why don't you ask what kind of item your weird merchant sold me? You bastard!" Yukari Yakumo seemed very angry.

"Huh? What prop? What are you talking about? I don't understand." Chen Luo still looked puzzled.

"Doubt my foot! I'm starting to suspect that the weird merchant might be an imposter!" Yukari Yakumo was furious; otherwise, she wouldn't have logged off the game to find Chen Luo right after buying the items.

It's impossible that Chen Luo was the agent for that strange merchant all along, since Yakumo Yukari and the others could encounter that strange merchant whenever they log in.

However, due to the bizarre nature of the item she had just bought, Yukari Yakumo couldn't help but suspect that the strange merchant she had encountered when she purchased the name change card was indeed Chen Luo in disguise. After all, as long as he wore a hood, no one could tell who was under the hood.

"You can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want. As everyone knows, I, Chen Luo, always persuade people with reason. You have to find evidence that I am that strange merchant before I will admit it."

"..."

Chen Luo's words made it very clear: that person is indeed me, but you need to find evidence.

"Besides you, who else would sell me such a targeted item?"

"I'm annoyed," Yakumo Yukari said.

"So hurry up and cancel that name change card for me, I don't want to buy it anymore!"

“That won’t do. The Strange Merchants have never made a loss, and no one has ever been able to return my goods after buying them!” Chen Luo said firmly!

"So you admit it's your product?"

“I’ve never denied that it was my product; I just said it wasn’t something I sold to you,” Chen Luo said.

"If you didn't sell it to me, how do you know which item I received?" Yukari Yakumo still didn't believe it.

"Because in fact, I only have one item in my inventory that is specifically for you. Now that you're so angry, it must be the item you bought."

"Then give me a refund! Or you can change the effect of that item!"

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible! The effect of this item will never be changed."

"Then give me a refund!"

"Impossible, that's impossible too. Who told you not to carefully check the effects of the props beforehand? Now you regret buying the wrong thing?"

"So what are you guys talking about? Why can't I understand? Did Chen Luo make a special item specifically for you, Yakumo Yukari?" Xiao Jiu asked curiously.

“That’s right. I bought a Honkai Beast name change card from the Strange Merchant.” Yakumo Yukari said.

"That's great, Yukari Yakumo. Didn't you always say you wanted a name change card so you could change your Honkai Beast name to Chen Luo's?"

"That's what they say, but that bastard Chen Luo added a restriction when issuing the name change card, which is..."

"Yukari Yakumo and Cirno are not allowed to use name change cards."

"I'm so angry!" Yukari Yakumo was already furious, but after hearing Chen Luo explain the item's effects, she became even angrier.

Who are you insulting, Cirno?

You are Cirno, your whole family are Cirno!

"So who is Cirno?" Xiao Jiu didn't get this point.
