Their commission was suspicious.

However, Kal'tsit, who was being held in Chen Luo's arms, reacted even more strongly. Like a startled Amiya, she broke free from Chen Luo's embrace, but Kal'tsit herself was unable to stand steadily and swayed unsteadily.

"Hmm?" Chen Luo was curious for a moment about what kind of punishment Kal'tsit was given by the skill [The Speaker Must Die].

The randomness of the punishment for this skill is uncontrollable; even Chen Luo couldn't be sure what Kal'tsit would encounter before the punishment came down.

[Skin sensitivity at its highest]

The entire body's skin... means that the feet are also at their most sensitive.

"No wonder he reacted so strongly when I touched him."

Watching Kal'tsit stagger along, Chen Luo couldn't help but sigh at her terrible luck. Feeling a pang of pity, Chen Luo snapped his fingers again.

"Bang!" The old woman logged off, and little Kal'tsit logged on!

However, shrinking does not remove the negative effects on Kal'tsit; it only grants her two seconds of invincibility when she is in child form and when she reverts back to child form.

Chen Luo turned Kal'tsit into a child not to remove the side effects, but to make Kal'tsit obedient.

"Kal'tsit, be good, brother will give you a lollipop, say it nicely." Chen Luo sat down on the bench next to him, picked up Kal'tsit, put her on his lap, and then patted her little head while using a lollipop to entice her.

While shrinking can't undo Kal'tsit's side effects, a head pat can.

The reason for shrinking was simply to make it easier for Kal'tsit to handle things; otherwise, Kal'tsit in her adult form wouldn't accept Chen Luo's head pat.

Furthermore, since Kal'tsit is currently a "child," using a head pat to remove the curse will not affect the adult Kal'tsit's mind as long as the patting time is not too long.

Because most people aren't very smart when they're young.

However, this method cannot be used to treat Oripathy, because the Originium in the body of an Oripathy patient has become one with the body, and removing the Originium is equivalent to harming the body.

Under the effect of the head pat, the side effects of the skin sensitivity maxed out gradually decreased, and the little Kal'tsit stopped fidgeting on Chen Luo's thigh and was instead attracted by the lollipop that was specially designed to attract little lolis.

"Daddy!" Kal'tsit's childish yet clear voice rang out.

No one is very smart when they're a child, and then there's the added effect of a head pat...

"Snap!" A crisp sound rang out behind Chen Luo...

Chen Luo turned his head and saw the Lion Scorpion covering its mouth with both hands, looking at Chen Luo and Little Kal'tsit in disbelief.

There was also a broken water glass at the manticore's feet.

"Doctor... and Dr. Kal'tsit, they actually... have a child?" Lion Scorpion asked incredulously.

"Doctor, I... am I... coming at the wrong time?" The Manticore took a step back.

"No, you've come at just the right time." Chen Luo called out as he watched the lion scorpion try to escape.

Chapter 1327 The Little Lion Scorpion's Request

"So that's how it is. No wonder you're a doctor, you're amazing." The Lion Scorpion looked at Chen Luo with admiration, completely ignoring the child sitting obediently in Chen Luo's arms, eating a lollipop.

Little Kal'tsit, sitting in Chen Luo's lap, merely tilted her head as she looked at the Manticore.

To be fair, Kai Cat is indeed cute.

Once the Lion Scorpion gets close enough to Chen Luo to have her presence weakened, her ability to diminish will be broken, because Chen Luo will help balance it out.

Although Chen Luo does not possess the ability to weaken presence, such an ability is recorded in the group network. Based on the analysis of this ability, Chen Luo even created a talisman that weakens presence.

"You flatter me. I am indeed very capable, but there's no need to go around bragging about it." Chen Luo bravely accepted the Lion Scorpion's praise.

Because Chen Luo believed he was indeed very powerful; at least in the Terra continent, he could practically do whatever he wanted.

Unfortunately, the use of force has little impact on Chen Luo's acceptance and completion of commissions.

Chen Luo has many commissions that cannot be completed by force alone, and in the world of Terra, commissions cannot be obtained simply by force.

Putting aside whether Earth has provoked Chen Luo, even if Chen Luo could destroy Earth with one punch, would he still not be able to get any commissions?

Therefore, Chen Luo usually treats everyone in the bar the same, regardless of whether you can fight or not; those who can make requests are the good customers.

For this reason, Chen Luo never looked down on the weak, because even the weak could produce miracles.

"It seems you and Dr. Kal'tsit still have something to discuss, Doctor. Shall I take my leave?" Lion Scorpion asked Chen Luo timidly.

Although Leo Scorpio does like this atmosphere where they can communicate face-to-face like ordinary friends, Leo Scorpio always feels that Chen Luo seems to have something to do right now, and wonders if it's inconvenient for him to disturb him.

"Don't go! I told you, you've come at the perfect time." Seeing the Lion Scorpion turn to leave, Chen Luo quickly called out to the Lion Scorpion.

Chen Luoke rarely jokes, so the arrival of the Lion Scorpion was really timely.

"Doctor, is there something you need from me? I'll definitely help." The Lion Scorpion sensed Chen Luo's urgency and mistakenly thought that Chen Luo had something important to discuss with him.

"No, this time I'm not asking for your help, but rather to help you out. Here." After the lion scorpion slowly approached, Chen Luo tossed an item to it.

"Hey, what's this?" The lion scorpion curiously examined the little thing in its hand.

“Amulet, a lucky amulet,” Chen Luo said.

Chen Luo rarely hides his goodwill, because doing so easily leads to misunderstandings. Countless facts have proven that being straightforward is more conducive to quickly bringing friends closer together.

Although Chen Luo had no need to ask Lion Scorpion for help, nor would he buy her abilities, and Lion Scorpion hadn't even issued any requests, Chen Luo had gotten into the habit of helping his friends in need, especially with small favors that were easy to do.

"A lucky charm? Thank you, Doctor! I'll keep it safe." The Manticore said, gripping the charm tightly in his hand.

Lion scorpions are rarely given gifts by friends.

Because she has no friends at all.

"You thanked me too soon. And don't keep it. Remember to carry it with you. This lucky charm doesn't bring you luck, but it can temporarily disable your abilities."

"Huh? Invalid... that means..."

"It means that even if I'm not by your side, I'll still make sure you're seen by others, so you won't be completely ignored," Chen Luo said.

"Really?" Lion Scorpion looked at Chen Luo with some surprise.

Why would I lie to you? You'll see once you try it.

"Great...but..." After cheering, the Manticore suddenly realized something.

"What's wrong? Why are you suddenly feeling down? Isn't this good news?"

"But... but if... I lose... my current abilities, will I still have any value...? Can I still stay on Rhodes Island? I... have nowhere else to go." Manticore gripped the amulet in his hand, the amulet that could restore his life to normal, but his thoughts were churning.

Manticore does want to cure his Oripathy and be able to communicate normally with others, but if he loses his ability to diminish his presence, he will be unable to carry out special missions in the future...

Even Rhodes Island wouldn't keep an operator who only does nothing, right?

Moreover, this amulet cannot cure his Oripathy... He has lost his special abilities without being cured of Oripathy. Although the opportunity to make his life normal is within reach, Lion Scorpion is happy but also wondering whether he should return the amulet to Chen Luo.

For a lion scorpion, losing its ability also means losing its value.

If things really turn back to the state of homelessness as before...

"Doctor, thank you... I really want it... but I can't." After struggling internally for a moment, the Manticore stretched out its hands and obediently handed the amulet that Chen Luo had just thrown to it back to Chen Luo.

The lion scorpion's head hung low, like a child who felt he had made a mistake.

“Silly child, you can leave it at home. Don’t take it with you when you go out to fight. When you return to Rhodes Island, you can use this amulet to chat with your friends, right?” Chen Luo sighed heavily after a long pause.

Isn't the inner monologue of the Manticore a bit too much?

Moreover, his thought process is extremely unique!

Besides, even if the lion scorpion can't do anything and only wastes food, Chen Luo is still willing to raise it. After all, who wouldn't want to raise a beautiful mythical creature?

"Huh? Right...right!" The Lion Scorpion suddenly looked up after Chen Luo's reminder.

Why didn't I think of this usage before?

"However, your concerns are indeed valid." Chen Luo's voice pulled the Lion Scorpion back from blaming himself for overthinking, and then the Lion Scorpion felt a lightness in his hand.

The talisman that Lion Scorpion had originally handed back to Chen Luo was actually taken back by Chen Luo.

"Doctor..." After discovering that Chen Luo had taken the amulet back, the Lion Scorpion approached Chen Luo, grabbed the back of the bench where Chen Luo was sitting, and looked at Chen Luo with a pitiful expression.

Lion Scorpion really wanted Chen Luo to return the amulet, but Lion Scorpion was too embarrassed.

Chen Luo had given him a magical talisman out of kindness, but he hadn't figured out how to use it and had actually returned the precious talisman to Chen Luo himself...

To a Leo with few friends, refusing a gift from someone and returning a well-intentioned gift is an unforgivable sin!

What a despicable act!

Indeed, this is true; publicly refusing a valuable gift from someone can easily make one feel embarrassed.

However, it's not a big problem. Right now, Chen Luo and Lion Scorpion only have one audience member, Little Kal'tsit, who is even willing to call Chen Luo "Dad" for a lollipop.

This doesn't mean Kal'tsit is stupid; rather, it indirectly illustrates just how incredibly attractive this lollipop, which targets little girls, is to them.

It was worth the two months that Chen Luo spent to achieve this.

Seeing the lion scorpion staring at him pitifully but too embarrassed to speak, its eyes already brimming with tears, Chen Luo couldn't help but laugh.

While it may evoke feelings of guilt in those who have no friends but yearn for them, it can also be quite amusing.

Chen Luo had no interest in continuing to bully the Lion Scorpion, or rather, Chen Luo never intended to bully the Lion Scorpion in the first place.

"Alright, alright, I know you're pitiful, so I won't tease you anymore. I'm taking this amulet back not because I want to take back the gift, but because I want to adjust its effects according to your needs. I originally thought that giving you an ordinary amulet would be enough, but now it seems I need to give you something more advanced."

Chen Luo initially thought that using the amulet would be enough to allow the Lion Scorpion to communicate normally with its friends. However, Chen Luo is now worried that the Lion Scorpion, with its clever little brain, might forget that it has been carrying the amulet all along and then use it in battle.

Even without this ability, the Manticore is still a skilled assassin, but without the ability to weaken its presence, it is vulnerable to injury.

The lion scorpion makes its living by this ability.

Poor little lion scorpion, what if you forget to put down the amulet and plunge into a monster horde and get hurt?

Chen Luo threw the talismans into the newly appeared illusory river of time, and the three talismans slowly floated in the air, shocking Lion Scorpion for quite a while.

Although Originium Arts are almost omnipotent, each time Manticore sees a new level of awe in Chen Luo.

"Snapped!"

Chen Luo snapped his fingers, bringing the Manticore back to reality. Seeing the three pendants Chen Luo was holding, the Manticore asked expectantly, "Doctor, are these... for me...?"

The lion scorpion's expectant expression contained a hint of fear of rejection, perfectly embodying the spirit of extreme caution.

"Of course, this golden amulet is an upgraded version of the original amulet. You can choose to control your presence, and you can even make your presence even lower."

"too frightening!"

The lion scorpion felt terrified at the thought that its presence would become even less noticeable.

I can't even find friends now, so won't I be even less likely to find them in the future?

"But it can also make your presence stand out from others and attract more attention."

"too frightening!"

The lion scorpion felt afraid at the thought of its increased presence and everyone looking at it.

"...And it can also make your presence feel like that of an ordinary person, which you can control yourself." For a socially awkward person like Manticore, becoming more noticeable to others might not be a good thing.

"Really? That's great!" The manticore was very satisfied with the effect.

"Here, take good care of it, and don't lose it," Chen Luo instructed the lion-scorpion as he handed it the golden talisman.

Chen Luo originally didn't want to give this item, which was somewhat out of line with the strength of Ark operators, to Lion Scorpion, but Lion Scorpion was just so cute.

So cute, but so clueless. (Slow to react)

"Um, Doctor, may I give you a gift too?" After receiving the amulet, the Manticore asked Chen Luo with some anticipation.

[Ding! You have a new request!]

"Hmm? Of course, or rather, you'd be very welcome."

Chen Luo never expected to receive a commission like this.

What exactly is the little lion scorpion thinking about every day?

[If he accepts my gift, he's mine!]

"???"

Chapter 1328 Kal'tsit didn't want to turn around either, but Chen Luo called her "baby."

"Oh, by the way, Manticore, have you considered curing your Oripathy? With this amulet, even if you cure Oripathy, your abilities will still be effective."

After seeing the Manticore carefully hang the amulet around its neck and then neatly tuck it into its slime before finally feeling relieved, Chen Luo asked.
