Their commission was suspicious.

"Speaking of which, how are the injuries of your companions being treated?" Chen Luo asked Rick.

“Thanks to the healing cocoon you gave us, the surviving brothers have managed to stay alive thanks to those healing items.” Rick nodded.

"...Please accept my condolences." Chen Luo lowered his head slightly.

Those who were willing to sacrifice for their people during that great war were called heroes.

Even though the other party wasn't protecting their own human, it was still normal to feel a little respect.

"It's nothing. We've been prepared ever since we embarked on this path. But you, is being a river god your divine duty?"

"Yes, it sounds pretty ordinary, right?"

"No, it's anything but ordinary." After immediately examining the exaggerated attributes of the Gold and Silver Honkai Beasts by playing with the three Poké Balls in his hand, he shook his head.

Rick didn't believe that the river god ability of the person in front of him was really just that of an ordinary river god.

Since Chen Luo claims that his divine status is at the highest point among all gods, perhaps Chen Luo can achieve the same level in the outside world.

“You wouldn’t mind if I visited your tribe, would you? I plan to see your world for myself and see how I can help you,” Chen Luo said to Rick.

“…Understood. I’ll log off in a bit.” Rick nodded decisively after recalling the information he had gleaned about Chen Luo from Gabriel and Ye Yunshang.

If Chen Luo is willing to help, the standard of living in their settlement will greatly improve, which would be good for Rick, Ghost, and the settlement.

"Okay, then I'll go find someone to scam some more sales. See you at the bar later." After saying that, Chen Luo slowly sank to the bottom of the river.

Chapter 1321 A New Five-Star Commission and the Lament of the Earth!

"Young Kong, did you drop this gold Honkai Beast, this silver Honkai Beast, or this ordinary Honkai Beast?"

"Ordinary!" Sora chose the central Honkai Beast almost without hesitation, unlike Riku who needed to consider it for a long time.

"Honest child, here you go." Chen Luo lovingly handed over the Honkai Beast form to Kong.

"Hmm? According to the River God's story, shouldn't you also give us the Gold and Silver Honkai Beasts?"

Kong and Bai, as modern people, have read fables.

"Oh, young Sora, you're planning to get this Gold and Silver Honkai Beast, right?" Chen Luo's eyes lit up.

"Mmm." Sora and Shiro nodded quickly.

In this situation, the two people in the blank space are quite familiar with each other, isn't this just a hidden Easter egg?

Sora and Shiro, who frequently play games, have triggered this kind of Easter egg more than once or twice.

"Sure. Do you have the money?"

"Ok?"

"No money? How can you become stronger if you have no money?"

"...Didn't you offer free breakfast, lunch, and dinner, plus free in-game currency? Why do you still make us spend money? And there's not even a way to recharge," Kong muttered under his breath.

"Providing you with free breakfast, lunch, and dinner, as well as real-world rewards, is not contradictory to requiring you to spend money. The two are separate matters and should not be confused."

Chen Luo wanted them to spend money to increase their chances of winning the merchant's rewards, while their free breakfast, lunch, and dinner were for the raw stones. These two things are not contradictory.

"Okay, we'll buy it then. How do we recharge?" In the end, Kong and Bai couldn't resist the temptation of the high-value items.

After all, this is a limited edition!

Moreover, the Gold and Silver Honkai Beasts are clearly high-end!

"You don't need to top up your account; I've already deducted your money. Oh, by the way, the silver Honkai Beast is cheaper, 100 yen, while the gold one is more expensive, 1000 yen. Also, do you need delivery service? 10 yen per delivery."

"We also offer free medical check-ups and resurrection services. In short, as long as you have enough Honkai Beasts and gold coins, you can enjoy a life that ordinary people can't."

"No need, no need. For two homebodies, takeout is enough."

What sophisticated desires do homebodies have? Aside from staying at home all the time, they don't want anything else.

"If possible, I would prefer that your game be developed for a longer period of time, after all, this is the first VR game on the market," Kong said with some reluctance.

Even nerdy guys crave friends, and this game can fulfill that desire.

Although Sora still harbors a deep fear of social interaction, besides collecting Honkai Beasts in dark corners, one can also obtain them for free by achieving first place in popular games in bustling city centers.

This means that Blank is often exposed to a lot of people, but as long as Blank remembers that this is just a VR game and those people are just NPCs, Blank is not worried.

Moreover, in just one day, they made friends with a beautiful girl named Kato Megumi and another beautiful girl named Kinoshita Hideyoshi.

Although they weren't very good at making friends, they figured it was just adding game friends and it wasn't a problem.

VR games are a wonderful thing!

"Oh, how long do you want this VR game to be extended?" Chen Luo asked with interest.

"It will take at least a year and a half, right?"

[Ding! You have a new request!]

[Social Anxiety Savior]: I hope there will be VR games available to play for at least a year or six months.

Reward: 466 Primogems + 20 Blank Affinity Points

"Okay, I can give it a try." Chen Luo nodded reluctantly.

Now we really need to put the development of a new server on the agenda, but where can we find a sucker like the Eighth Herrscher?

"Breakfast will be delivered to your table via your helmet in 10 minutes. Please remember to check it. Have fun."

After the unscrupulous merchant had his fill, Chen Luo slowly sank into the river.

Chen Luo didn't actually only want to scam Blank; he wanted to scam Rick and Shubi as well, but unfortunately, Rick and Shubi weren't connected to the internet and didn't have any currency.

This really stumped Chen Luo.

Even if Chen Luo wanted to rip off the unscrupulous merchants a few more times, he couldn't possibly take food from their tribe's already meager rations, could he?

Chen Luo would feel very guilty for having been caught cheating merchants this way.

But it doesn't matter if it's a trap for Yakumo Yukari and the others, because Chen Luo will compensate them in another way anyway.

And if the lack of food leads to the starvation of children and the elderly in the tribe...

Forget it, I don't want to think about it anymore, it's too cruel.

……

"Is this black ash?" Chen Luo looked up at the sky, which was constantly covered in black dust.

Chen Luo met Huggies and Rick at a bar, and then he was brought to this world.

At Chen Luo's request, the three of them appeared outdoors. However, apart from Chen Luo, the other two were wearing protective gear.

Humans are not incapable of walking in the wild, but they must wear protective gear, just like Rick next to him, who is wearing a hood and goggles.

Chen Luo reached out, abandoning the protection of his hands, and caught the black ash falling from the sky.

Rick was about to stop Chen Luo, but remembering Chen Luo's instructions, he lowered his hand.

Whatever I do, don't interfere.

A slight stinging sensation came from his hand. The black ash disappeared from Chen Luo's hand, leaving a small burn mark on his hand, but it quickly began to heal.

However, countless black ash particles fell from the sky and landed continuously on Chen Luo's palm.

With Chen Luo's abilities, covering up this stinging sensation wouldn't be a problem, but Chen Luo didn't do that. Instead, he let his right palm gradually be covered with black ash and then gradually recover.

Chen Luo wasn't just idly trying to court death; he was actually experiencing it firsthand.

Feel the pain!

Okay, no, Chen Luo is trying to feel and empathize with everything else.

Feel the fear and trembling of countless human tribes in this world as they worry about tomorrow every day; feel the suffering of countless races living under the shadow of a thousand-year war; feel the lament of the elves who have turned into spirits.

At the same time, the user-friendly plugin is also analyzing and assimilating the information of this world.

Indeed, the world had more useful data when the various races were more well-preserved during the Millennium War.

Chen Luo's intuitive feelings were not entirely useless.

Chen Luo is trying to understand the wish itself, rather than simply accepting it.

This is how Chen Luo triggered the five-star commission in his own world through the Book of Akasha.

That's right, it wasn't a six-star commission, because six-star commissions take too long, while five-star commissions only take a maximum of an hour, so it only took five minutes in total.

When Chen Luo has time later, he will try to inquire about the starting method for the Six-Star Request.

However, Chen Luo felt that the triggering methods for 5-star and 6-star should be similar.

That means truly understanding the thoughts of the person who posted the wish, and even resonating with that wish. Then, embracing the collective wish.

Putting aside Otto's 500-year obsession, Otto is truly a reckless player who, with his absurd obsession, directly created a 5-star commission.

However, Rick is still just a mortal and hasn't done anything to his body, so getting him to trigger a five-star quest will be a bit difficult.

So, getting a five-star request from Rick requires a little skill.

Fortunately, the desire for this great war to end soon is not just Rick's wish... and this wish is quite prominent in this world.

"Can you hear the earth wailing?"

Chen Luo looked up at the sky, seemingly talking to someone.

"Hmm?" Rick glanced at himself.

“I heard it. Indeed, sometimes hearing too much isn’t a good thing.”

Rick's confusion deepened.

Rick had grown accustomed to this gloomy sky, and found the clear sky he had seen in the VR game to be quite unreal.

Although it's fake, it's beautiful enough.

That was a sight Rick had never seen in his entire life.

Rick also hopes that the world can stop its conflicts, that the sky can reveal its true color, and that everyone in the settlement can see this view.

"I've suddenly changed my mind," Chen Luo said.

"What idea?"

"It's about your last wish, the idea that if you win the game, I'll grant your wish."

"...You want to break the contract?"

“No, I was just thinking that if you play games with such terrifying pressure, you can’t get any real enjoyment. So the wish mechanism is retained, but… do you crave the Star Cup?” Chen Luo withdrew his hand, which had become smooth under the healing power, and turned to ask Rick.

“No, I yearn for peace.” Perhaps sensing something, Rick said firmly to Chen Luo.

"A perfect answer. Coincidentally, the world also yearns for peace! In that case, I will try to help the world achieve true peace."

After Chen Luo uttered those words, the mournful cries from various races that had been emanating from Chen Luo's ears from every angle, triggered by his listening ability, suddenly ceased.

Having witnessed the cruelty of this world to living beings, Chen Luo was able to truly understand Rick and this land's yearning for peace.

[Ding! You have a new request!]

[End the Thousand-Year War]: As requested by Rick, and as requested by this land, end the thousand-year war and bring peace to this land.

Rewards: 4000 Primogems + 2 Special Random Rewards + 50% Affinity with Rick + 30% Affinity with All Factions in the No Game No Life World + Talent Advancement Card

Difficulty: 5 stars

Whether it was Chen Luo's imagination or not, at the moment the mission was announced, Chen Luo seemed to see countless stars suddenly appear, dazzling yet fleeting, flashing past Chen Luo's sight in an instant.

Although the humanized plugin said it hadn't expected that thing to suddenly appear and was analyzing the nature of the starlight, Chen Luo recognized what it was in an instant.

That was the wish of this land and countless races. This war, which lasted for thousands of years, caused this land to lose far too much.

Why was Chen Luo so certain? It's probably because the starlight and the raw stone looked very similar.

These were the most beautiful and dazzling things Chen Luo had ever seen in the world.

A five-star commission is not the limit of this land, but the limit of these 16 races.

"Hmm, isn't it me who's the prettiest?" The Herrscher of Knowledge, awakened by Chen Luo's inner monologue, popped her head out.

The Herald of Consciousness originally did not want to wake up, but when Chen Luo saw that starlight just now, Chen Luo's psychological fluctuations were too great, so much so that the Imaginary Tree and the Quantum Sea in Chen Luo's sea of ​​consciousness seemed to go crazy, churning back and forth, so the Herald of Consciousness was awakened.

"...Yes, yes, yes. The Herrscher of Knowledge is the third greatest in the world," Chen Luo said perfunctorily.
