Their commission was suspicious.

Chen Luo actually understood why Ghost Shark called him "Dad." Although Ghost Shark's soul strength had grown to the level of an adult, he didn't possess much knowledge. Furthermore, Chen Luo had kept Ghost Shark in his sea of ​​consciousness for over half a month, a period when Ghost Shark was at its most vulnerable, confused, and weakest. Therefore, it was quite normal for Ghost Shark to have such a misconception.

Understanding doesn't mean accepting...

Chen Luoke is still a child. Although theoretically speaking, Ghost Shark is also a child. Whether judged by the time Ghost Shark was just separated or by the time Ghost Shark's second personality appeared, Ghost Shark is indeed much younger than Chen Luoke.

However, Chen Luo wasn't really keen on having two kids before getting married. One child was enough.

"So what do we do now?" Laurentina couldn't help but ask.

I can't keep having another version of myself call Chen Luo "Dad." Even "father" isn't acceptable!

"Let's settle the commission first," Chen Luo said.

"Huh? What do you mean?" Laurentina was taken aback.

"Oh, it's nothing. I was just reminding you that although the situation with Ghost Shark has taken a slightly unexpected turn from what was originally planned, I have indeed helped you separate the other you. I have fulfilled my promise to you," Chen Luo reminded him.

So, what about the commission? For someone as big as me, where's the commission? You should settle the final payment.

[Ding! Mission complete]

“I understand, thank you, but I would be even more grateful if you could help resolve this current issue. Don’t worry, I’ll remember this favor,” Laurentina said.

[Ding! You have a new request!]

"No need for you to remember any favors or anything like that. I helped you purely because I wanted to, that's all. Besides, Ghost Shark is really cute, isn't it?" Chen Luo said, stroking Ghost Shark's little head with the white hair ring.

“Indeed.” Laurentina looked at Chen Luo with some envy.

Laurentina wanted to pat her other self's head, but Ghost Shark was like a newly hatched chick, very wary of everything around her. Although Laurentina did give her some warmth, she still had to be wary.

Chen Luo reminded Laurentina to settle the commission, not because he was worried about the reward not being delivered—that was definitely not a concern—but because he needed the reward.

Besides the rewards of Originium and favorability points, Laurentina's request to separate her from another version of herself also included a special item related to her bloodline. Before obtaining this special item, Chen Luo had no idea what it was used for.

But Chen Luo felt that as long as he gave himself this buff, the problem of Ghost Shark calling him "Dad" but Laurentina being unhappy about it should be solved.

Chen Luo felt that this was like a series of tasks; after completing the previous stage, the rewards from the previous stage could be used to complete the next stage.

Once you have the bloodline buff, you're all one family, and you won't have to be called "dad" anymore.

Using this buff is very simple. Once it's displayed on the talent panel, it's already in effect, like right now.

As deep-sea hunters share a common bloodline, after Chen Luo applied this buff, Ghost Shark, Crispy Shark, and Skadi couldn't help but turn their gazes to Chen Luo.

Great, it seems to be working very well!

Chen Luo was very satisfied with this.

I can only say you're satisfied too soon.

“Dad…” Ghost Shark, dressed in a white tuxedo, remained “unrepentant.”

"what?"

Wait a minute, the buff has already been applied, so why isn't it working?

[Haha, Master, did you think that once this buff is applied, they'll all treat you like family, and that will solve the problem of Specter calling you "Dad," but Laurentina being unhappy? No, no, no.]

The problem was indeed solved, but it didn't mean stopping Ghost Shark from calling you "Dad." Instead, it meant making all the other Deepsea Hunters call you "Dad." This way, Laurentina had no objections, and in a sense, the problem was indeed solved.

"???"

With the help of the user-friendly plugin, Chen Luo did indeed notice that Laurentina and Skadi seemed to be hesitant to speak.

Wait a minute, isn't this blood connection supposed to make everyone like family, inseparable, and equals?

[You're so young! Not just siblings, but blood relatives too! Even father and daughter are connected by blood! Hahaha...]

The user-friendly plugin was constantly smiling; it never stopped.

"Ahem, here, Laurentina, take this." Chen Luo coughed twice to bring everyone back to their senses, then handed a piece of bread to Laurentina.

"Huh?" Laurentina was puzzled.

"Memory Bread?" Skadi recognized the true nature of the prop Chen Luo had just given her.

"This item is called Memory Bread. It can imprint all your knowledge, memories, and emotions onto it, and the person who eats this bread will gain them. Are you... willing to share your life with Ghost Shark?" Chen Luo asked.

Chen Luo could have copied all of Laurentina's memories and given them to Ghost Shark, but he felt that the decision should be left to Laurentina herself.

“Of course.” Laurentina glanced at Ghost Shark, who looked bewildered and clueless, like a newborn, and nodded.

"Don't mix in any strange things, and don't imprint too many things. Just imprint the necessary ones, because Ghost Shark's state is like that of a newborn. If she consumes too many of your complex memories, it will affect her purity. Although she is the embodiment of your other personality, I always feel that she should have her own choices and her own life," Chen Luo said, stroking Ghost Shark's head.

"I understand. What a coincidence, that's what I was thinking too."

Watching Lauren Tina copy some necessary memories, Chen Luo analyzed through the humanized plugin whether it would have an unnecessary impact on Ghost Shark.

In fact, besides passing on knowledge, memory bread has many other uses, after all, the prefix for bread is memory.

In addition, this memory bread can also be used to express your feelings. Just imprint your love for someone on the bread and feed it to them, and they will understand your feelings.

This can be considered a way to test sincerity.

Although no one had ever used memory bread to do something like this before, Chen Luo thought he might be able to open a matchmaking agency.

Chenluo Marriage Agency is now open for business!

Each random item may have other undiscovered aspects. Just like experimental items, only a main direction is given; Chen Luo needs to explore the other branches himself.

It's perfectly reasonable to occasionally encounter a message like "Let's explore the area ahead later."

[You want to open a matchmaking agency? That's hilarious!]

The human-centered plugin suspects that if Chen Luo were to open a matchmaking agency, at least 90% of the people who register there would be there specifically because of him.

The remaining 10%?

The remaining 10% are the fun-loving people! The kind who love to watch the drama unfold.

It's impossible to continue! It's simply impossible to continue!

The humanized plugin has no doubt that if Chen Luo opens a matchmaking agency, Merlin will definitely come to support it, and then sacrifice herself to ignite the powder keg that is the bar.

The specific manifestation might be: transforming herself into the image of Mei Li and then confessing her feelings to Chen Luo.

It certainly won't succeed, but it can certainly stir up a storm.

You might get beaten up, but it'll be entertaining!

At Chen Luo's prompting, Laurentina spent 10 minutes picking and choosing from her memories before finally selecting the one that best represented her and wouldn't affect the purity of the Ghost Shark, and imprinted it onto the memory bread.

Laurentina acknowledged the other version of herself before her, but she had no intention of making that other version of herself exactly the same.

It's a good thing to have another version of yourself, and she deserves to have her own life.

Of course, it would be even better if it spent most of its remaining life alone.

"Ah..." Encouraged by Chen Luo, Ghost Shark tried to take the memory bread, but Laurentina snatched it back, then tore off a piece of bread while laughing and held it to Ghost Shark's mouth, her meaning quite clear.

After a moment's hesitation, feeling Laurentina's kindness and the warmth that came from her soul, Ghost Shark finally opened its mouth.

Seeing the two ghost sharks getting along so well, Chen Luo led the two Skadis away from them, leaving them enough space to be alone.

Sigh, I really hope Skadi and Isamara can be this harmonious, but Chen Luo always feels that once their identities are revealed, the two of them might start fighting first.

Never mind, as long as no one dies, it's fine.

Chapter 1371 Ghost Shark and Returning Netherworld Ghost Shark, Born as One

[Ding! Mission complete]

With the help of the memory bread, Ghost Shark gained a sufficient understanding of common sense.

That's right, it's just an impression.

This was the result of Laurentina's reflection. She transformed all the facts that she could not describe fairly and objectively into a faint impression, while the memories of the ghost shark were returned to her in the form of some less cruel aspects.

Ghost Shark is Laurentina's second personality, which emerged after she was tortured by the Deep Sea Church, and life in the Deep Sea Church was definitely not pleasant.

Even without these memories imprinted deep in their souls, they would still influence the Ghost Shark's behavior and habits.

Just like the Specter Shark, which has little memory, it also has the "habit" of praying... even though the Specter Shark has no idea who to pray to.

These are the tags found on the Specter by the user-friendly plugin.

"Why is she still so clingy to you even after I've already fed her memory bread?" Laurentina looked at the Specter Shark standing very close to Chen Luo with some confusion.

"You wouldn't understand... I don't understand either. Maybe it's because we're connected by blood."

"You? Blood-related? You're not a Deepsea Hunter?"

Although that's what Laurentina said, she had to admit that Chen Luo did have a certain warmth about him, and this warmth seemed to be more like that of an elder...

too weird.

"Crispy Shark, have you forgotten something? I'm the Deep Sea Hunters' psychologist, how can you say I'm not one of them?"

"This..." Laurentina couldn't refute it for a moment.

But why hadn't Chen Luo given Laurentina this feeling before? So Laurentina was puzzled.

Chen Luo's explanation was definitely one of the reasons, because the bloodline connection was really useful, although he didn't know why the bloodline connection, which was originally between peers, suddenly made Chen Luo a generation older...

In addition to the ten-day gestation period and the various achievements Chen Luo had made, which increased his initial favorability, Chen Luo seemed even more trustworthy.

In short: the succubus aura.

“I’ve already spent quite a bit of time here, and it’s already 9 o’clock. I have a surgery to perform in a little while, so I’ll be leaving if there’s nothing else. Is there anything else you’d like to say?” Chen Luo asked, looking around.

There are currently five people in Skadi's dormitory: two Specter Sharks, two Skadis, and Chen Luo.

All the deep-sea hunters Chen Luo could find were here, but Chen Luo did not take out the World in the Pot.

Chen Luo received this rather special prop after giving Yvette a psychological consultation last night.

The good news is that this special item can indeed be replicated using the River God's abilities, and the original "World Within a Pot" is already sufficient to capture the Terra continent's "what if" scenario where the Sea Heir destroys the world.

The bad news is that this item is rated a bit too high, so both the silver and gold crystal balls are illusory.

However, another piece of good news is that Chen Luo's River God ability is about to unlock to SS level.

Previously, the River God's abilities were limited because Chen Luo was too weak, but now it's different; Chen Luo has become a piece of cake.

As the saying goes, a side dish isn't a dish at all...

In short, Chen Luo will be able to obtain three Worlds Within a Pot in just one or two days.

Although Chen Luo could easily fish out the world within the pot that had been thrown into the river of time, and then summon the grown-up golden and silver worlds within the pot, it's not certain whether he could even fish it out.

What if Chen Luo needs it urgently recently?

Besides, Isamara hasn't decided to confront Skadi yet, so why is Chen Luo in such a hurry?

Almost the instant Chen Luo said he was leaving, Ghost Shark instinctively grabbed Chen Luo's sleeve.

"..." Isamara bared her teeth and made a sound that was a little angry, just like a Shiba Inu guarding its food.

Isamara did it on purpose; Isamara was asserting her sovereignty.

Similarly, Isamara was quite kind and removed the ghost shark from Chen Luo's sleeve when it grabbed him.

“All good things must come to an end. I’m really busy right now, but it’s not like we won’t have a chance to meet again. I will indeed spend less time on Rhodes Island in the future, but you can contact Skadi and ask her to add you to the (bar) group.” Chen Luo patted Specter on the shoulder.

"You're willing to let other people go to the bar now?" Skadi asked in surprise, having understood Chen Luo's subtext.

Skadi remembered that Chen Luo used to often tell her not to bring other Rhodes Islanders to the bar.

"Crispy Shark and Specter Shark are fine. Amiya and Kal'tsit are out of the question. They're the real deal; they might kidnap me for official business, so they're definitely out of the question. As for Warfarin... Merlin is already at the bar. If those two scumbags meet, who knows what kind of sparks they'll create? To be honest, I'm a little scared."

This time, Chen Luo was telling the truth.

"Thank you." Perhaps knowing that Chen Luo had work to do, Ghost Shark took a step back after saying this, even though there was a hint of reluctance in his eyes, to show that he would no longer stop Chen Luo.

“A sensible child always makes adults feel sorry for him. How about this, I'll give you a weapon for self-defense as a congratulatory gift for your new life.” Chen Luo patted Ghost Shark’s head again and then took out a chainsaw from the hood behind his back.

"Hmm?" Laurentina glanced at the not-so-large hood behind Chen Luo, then at the enormous circular saw in Chen Luo's hand, and paused for a moment.

How...did you take this out?

Or how did you manage to hide the chainsaw in your hood?

"And isn't your chainsaw a little bit similar to my weapon?" Laurentina said, looking at the chainsaw in Ghost Shark's hand, who was overjoyed to have received the weapon.

"Uh, maybe you're mistaken. After all, it's normal for the standard weapons of the Deep Sea Hunters to look similar," Chen Luo said with a forced smile.
