Their commission was suspicious.

"What truth?" Luo Li looked completely bewildered, but Chen Luo could still sense a hint of tension in her eyes.
"Mom and Dad, have you two been in contact with mysterious forces?" Chen Luo asked in a deep voice.
"...Sigh, it seems I can't hide it from you after all. What exactly went wrong? How did you figure it out?" Luo Li asked softly after a period of silence.
“Although you two don’t seem to have any spiritual power and don’t look like cultivators, the fact that you were able to rescue Abby from the cult indicates something unusual. Moreover, the seal on the book you sent back along with Abby, although somewhat clumsy, also possesses extraordinary power,” Chen Luo said with an air of knowing everything.
Even if Chen Luo lacked investigative abilities and human-centered features, he could still clearly see Abby's background and the unusual nature of the book she used as a pillow.
"Sigh, I knew this would get discovered," Luo Li said, turning to her husband.
"So what if it's been discovered? We've kept it from Xiao Luo for so many years, he should know some of the truth eventually. Besides, it's nothing shameful. As everyone knows, archaeology is a very dangerous profession..."
"Very good, you're eloquent, you speak." Seeing her husband talking fluently, Luo Li simply pushed the blame onto him.
"...Xiao Luo, you should know that archaeology is a dangerous profession. Your mother and I have been doing archaeology for many years, and especially in recent years, we have discovered more and more strange things. So even if you don't believe in those supernatural things, you still have to be prepared. And it was in these last few years that we came into contact with Miskatonic University."
Miskatonic University, with its world-class programs in archaeology, occultism, history, psychology, geology, biology, and engineering, attracts many talented students each year, only to send a portion of them to cemeteries or mental hospitals...
[Besides its professional expertise, the library there is also noteworthy. It boasts an unparalleled collection, including many dark magic books.]
This is the information Chen Luo obtained after acquiring the Book of Akasha, which has now been repeated by the humanized plugin.
It was precisely because of this, coupled with the information he had received after calling his parents in the past, that Chen Luo became even more certain that his parents were not as simple as they seemed.
"It sounds like archaeology can be quite dangerous."
“That’s right, that’s why I told you archaeology is a dead end. If you want to study medicine in college, it’s better to do so,” Luo Li quickly said.
"The more we go on the archaeological journey, the more we discover one thing: that humans have limits, but it is impossible not to be human, so we can only rely on the power of some tools."
"However, apart from being adept at using various props and having a wealth of knowledge about mythology, your mother and I don't have anything to boast about, or rather, we're practically defenseless. But you... you just don't seem like someone who's very simple." Chen's father looked Chen Luo up and down.
"...Actually, I am a gifted individual, and also the river god that the underworld has been searching for for a long time."
"Really? Oh, I've heard of the title 'River God,' but I never imagined it was our son. Sigh, our son has really made something of himself," Luo Li said with a look of surprise and delight.
"Keep it low-key. Oh, by the way, besides this river god identity, there are many secrets I want to tell you, but before that, would you like to accept this first?" Chen Luo said, while taking out two godhood slots that he had prepared beforehand.
Chen Luo took the two godhood slots out of his backpack. Their forms looked like crystals, one gold and one silver, crystal clear and dazzling.
"This thing is called a Godhood Quota. As the name suggests, using it will allow you to directly obtain a godhood..." Chen Luo handed the two Godhood Quotas to his parents, speaking as he looked at them expectantly.
Chapter 1378 The "Notes" of the Humanized Plugin... Can they be removed?
“Uh…” Luo Li looked at the godhood spot in front of her and hesitated.
"What's wrong? Mom and Dad, are you worried about any side effects of this thing? Let me tell you, this thing has no side effects at all. As long as you obtain a godhood through this godhood spot, putting everything else aside, at least you won't have to worry about dying no matter where you go on archaeological expeditions or do anything reckless. Having the ability to protect yourself is naturally better than not having it."
"Oh, right, there's also that pea you two used to eat. Its actual name is 'Heartless Modified Heavenly Fragrance Cardamom.' We don't know who modified it, but if you two encounter an emergency, it will condense into a crystal to protect you inside."
"As for the spot to become a god, the gold one can apply for a higher godhood, and although the silver one is a little less, it is still a higher level than the ordinary godhood."
Chen Luo was worried that his parents wouldn't understand what SSS-level and SS-level godhood meant, so he used a simpler and easier-to-understand explanation.
"Take them." Chen Luo pushed the two crystals representing the two godhood spots toward his parents.
"That won't be necessary. Actually, your dad and I can definitely do some research on ancient artifacts with our own tools and knowledge." Luo Li looked at the two special tools and took a step back.
“Your mother is right, and I think you might need these things more than your mother and I do.” Chen Heng also took a step back.
“Really, there’s no need. Let me tell you, in the dark world, talents are ranked from low to high as edcbas level talents, and the highest talent level now is SS level. But your son is EX level. It’s probably higher than SSS level, and I have two SSS talents. You two really don’t need to worry about my safety. And if we encounter danger, your son can teleport away.”
"Moreover, although it seems that there are no good god positions above SS level to choose from in our world now, we can go to other worlds. I recently found a particularly strong world where there is a kind of god called the Star God. Although usurping the god position requires a PK, if the god on the position is already dead, you can directly usurp it."
"Then you two will each have a Star God position, so you can go archaeological excavations wherever you want, and you can even go to other worlds for archaeology. Even if you don't do archaeology, you can do some thrilling things, like bungee jumping over the East African Rift Valley?"
Although Chen Luo wasn't entirely sure if the Silver Godhood could usurp the Godhood of the already dead Star God, what if it could?
A gold-level godhood spot is definitely achievable, and as for silver... perhaps it's possible to usurp the title of a star god whose destiny is extremely narrow.
Even if that doesn't work, other worlds aren't as chaotic as this one. If I happen to encounter a world that hasn't been around for long, I might be able to become a main god.
"..."
Bai Zhi, who was sitting quietly next to him and acting as a third wheel, was speechless. She had just learned that Chen Luo's talent level was actually EX level, and Chen Luo had never told anyone before... Could she be the first one to know?
Although I only found out through the connection with the Chen family elders, I still found out eventually.
"This... please speak up, this is Xiao Luo's filial piety."
Looking at the two spots for godhood and Chen Luo's extremely thorough consideration of the consequences, Luo Li didn't know how to refuse, so she could only nudge her husband.
“Since these two spots for becoming gods are so important, Xiao Luo, you should take them first. Didn’t you say you were going to conduct experiments in other worlds? What if we lose these two spots if you give them to us before the experiments are successful?” Chen Heng said after thinking for a moment.
"Yes, yes, yes." Luo Li nodded quickly.
"...Why do I always feel like you guys aren't very interested in becoming gods? Let me tell you, it's really precious. You can ask her if you don't believe me." Chen Luo pointed at Bai Zhi.
The humanized plugin said that Chen Luo's parents really didn't want the spot to become a god, which made them very confused. What's wrong with the spot? The spot is so great, why don't they want it?
“This thing is really precious.” Bai Zhi nodded obediently.
Although Bai Zhi didn't understand where Chen Luo got the gold and silver props, she suddenly seemed to have a deeper understanding of the River God's abilities.
So even such an extremely abstract concept can be conjured into gold and silver?
From the fact that Chen Luo had never offered a spot to become a god before, to the conferment ceremony this morning, and then to the gold and silver props in Chen Luo's hands, it's not difficult to understand the logic behind this.
Judging from the general performance of the River God, even a silver-level godhood spot must be extremely precious.
The faith power that the church spent so many years accumulating can now be surpassed with just one silver godhood spot...
This thing is extremely precious!
“Since it’s so precious, then… how about this?” Chen Heng suddenly spoke up.
"How is it?" Chen Luo asked.
“Keep the golden one. It’s definitely stronger than the silver one. Even though you’re the River God now, you could easily be a Star God in another world. As for the silver one, give it to your mother. I’ll take a loss and rely on her in the future. One divine position is enough for both of us. Anyway, your mother and I won’t be separated,” Chen Heng said.
"Huh?" Luo Li looked at Chen Heng in surprise.
So you'd rather die than see me die, huh?
"It's not impossible... Mom, why don't you just take it?" Chen Luo thought for a moment and felt that his father's method was simply ingenious.
Thinking about it carefully, as long as a suitable SS-level divine position can be found, it would be enough for my parents to do whatever they want now that they are still separated by death.
After all, even a normal river god and Sylvia's holy guardian angel are only S-rank deities.
As long as one person has sufficient combat power, protecting two people will definitely not be a problem. Even in other worlds, SS-rank is considered to be an outstanding level of strength.
Chen Luo understood his parents' thoughts. Parents always want to leave the best things for their children. Since he couldn't change his parents' minds, it wasn't a bad idea for each side to compromise.
Anyway, since both my parents have a ruthless, modified version of the Heavenly Fragrance Bean, I'm definitely not going to be in any life-threatening danger.
I've only had this talent for a little over two months now, and it'll be another year before the separation from heaven ends. Maybe getting a few more spots after that won't be a problem.
"Take it, Xiao Li, this is all the child's filial piety," Chen Heng said earnestly.
"Mmm." Chen Luo nodded quickly.
“…Alright, since you two have both said so, then I’ll accept it.” Luo Li smiled as she took the silver godhood spot from Chen Luo’s hand.
But whether it was Chen Luo's imagination or not, he felt that his mother was gritting her teeth.
"So, Mom, are you planning to use it now or...?"
"Let's save that for later. Let's first consider what kind of god your mother wants to become. And if you encounter a good opportunity in another world, you can change to a better godhood. Now let's discuss the topic of another world. It sounds like you have a lot of secrets you want to share with us."
While enduring the pain of his wife's waist being almost twisted raw, Chen Heng spoke to Chen Luo.
What's wrong with a silver-level godhood spot? It's a child's way of showing filial piety.
Go ahead and use it.
Really.
"Oh, about this... it all started two months ago."
After hearing Chen Luo's plan to recount his life over the past two months, even Bai Zhi listened intently.
Chen Luo had never mentioned anything related to this before.
Or perhaps we've already heard enough secrets about Chen Luo today.
This trip was definitely worthwhile.
"Snap!" Just as Chen Luo was talking about meeting his first customer in the bar and gaining the Eye of God as a result, he heard a crisp sound.
When Chen Luo came to his senses, he only saw Luo Li rubbing the back of her hand, while looking at Chen Heng with a hint of resentment.
Chen Heng, on the other hand, seemed quite self-righteous.
“Your son is telling you about his adventures, so pay attention.”
"Oh."
Chen Luo didn't initially respond to his parents' fighting, because his parents had a very good relationship since he could remember.
Wait, something seems off.
"The user-friendly plugin suddenly said."
"What's wrong with it?"
I feel a sense of emptiness inside me right now.
"Hmm? Feeling empty? Why do you feel that way? And do you really have a heart?"
[Don't believe me? I have SSS-level talent. If I say there's a problem, then there's definitely a problem.]
"..."
Although Chen Luo wanted to refute it, after all, the humanized plugin had failed more than once or twice, the humanized plugin was still highly credible when it was not in the bar.
Chen Luo wasn't foolish enough to treat certain necessary anomalies as common sense like those anime protagonists, only to regret it later. So he shut up and started looking for the anomalies detected by the humanized plugin.
"Why did you stop talking?" Bai Zhi asked, concerned.
"Yeah, yeah. Let's continue. You ran into Wendy, and then what?" Luo Li asked, somewhat impatiently.
"Something's not right, it's definitely not right. Mom, what were you holding in your right hand when Dad hit you just now?" Chen Luo frowned after hearing Luo Li's urging.
My mom doesn't seem like the type to gossip, and there was something slightly off about her expression.
"Huh? What? What?" Luo Li was a little confused.
"It's nothing, Mom, can you open your hand and let me see it?"
“Of course you can.” Luo Li opened her left hand.
"I mean the right hand."
"..."
"Serves you right for being dishonest, now you're in trouble, aren't you?" Chen Heng rolled his eyes at his wife as Luo Li fell silent.
"What can I do? That thing keeps waving in front of my eyes." Luo Li complained as she reluctantly opened her arms.
Do you think I, Luo Li, would put up with that? I'll just grab her and take her down!
Chen Luo was stunned when he saw what Luo Li was holding in her open hand.
"grass."
"Don't swear." Luo Li glared at her son.
[Damn, isn't that my contact name? Can this thing even be removed?]
The humanized plugin seemed to react even more intensely than Chen Luo.
Seeing Chen Luo's intense reaction, Bai Zhi glanced at him curiously and then saw something strange.
"This is... a character?"
Bai Zhi looked at the two solid characters in Luo Li's palm, which looked like a spelling toy, with great confusion.
Chapter 1379 The World's Agent
Chen Luo's expression was as if he had seen a ghost, while Bai Zhi had never seen Chen Luo with such an expression before, because Chen Luo usually had a confident and composed demeanor, as if any unexpected event was within his expectations.
"What happened?" Seeing the atmosphere gradually descend into a state that Bai Zhi couldn't understand, Bai Zhi finally couldn't help but ask.
