Their commission was suspicious.

"That's right, keep up the good work." Chen Luo patted Xiao Jiu on the shoulder.

"...Can you give me some ways to earn gold coins?" Xiao Jiu looked at Chen Luo expectantly.

Xiao Jiu is tired of spending all her time thinking about how to get gold coins.

Xiao Jiu is currently very free, but she is always thinking about where to get some gold coins!

"Okay." Chen Luo snapped his fingers.

"I've actually been thinking about whether to create a task list recently. After all, I've been fulfilling your wishes, but I also have a lot of things to do myself. So I'm thinking about whether to entrust some tasks to you and then give you gold coins in return."

"You can use the gold coins you earn to fulfill some slightly outrageous wishes, or you can buy skill books, experience books, talents, and so on in my network. So, want to give it a try?" Chen Luo asked Xiao Jiu.

"Give it a try?" Xiao Jiu hesitated for a moment before nodding.

The first person to try something new often makes a fortune...

So here's the question: what was the first person who drank milk thinking?

【…】

"Then come to my place first. If you want to be the first to try something new, a bar isn't suitable, since anyone can come there."

"So you're really willing to give me this crab?"

"Baby, I still love you very much." Chen Luo smiled and patted Xiao Jiu's head.

Xiao Jiu was very touched by this, and then gave Chen Luo the middle finger.

……

"..."

"..."

"..."

"Why aren't you saying anything? Didn't you come to wake me up?"

"But you didn't twist my neck yesterday, I just came to check on things. And I actually arrived a while ago," the consciousness from the abyss passage said.

How early?

"When you were bullying children in the Celestial Realm meeting room... I couldn't find you at your house, and then I found you in the Celestial Realm meeting room. I originally wanted to cross over and chat with you for a while, but the world consciousness was there at the time... so I don't know what to say now."

"I understand, because the spellcasting was interrupted, so your focus is disrupted, right?"

"……Um."

Bosses are such troublesome things. Regardless of whether they say anything or not, or whether they intend to say anything, their mere presence can affect your mood.

Goodbye. My leave is almost up.

"Bye bye."

That's strange, you haven't been turning its neck these past few days.

"Sigh, isn't it because I need its help that I'm planning to cultivate a relationship with it first?" Chen Luo said helplessly.

In fact, when Chen Luo thought about monster hunting, the first thing that came to mind was the Abyss Passage.

However, the problem with the Abyss Passage is that there are many outsiders in the Abyss Passage, and it is also the world where Chen Luo himself is located, so Chen Luo dares not act recklessly.

However, a recent game war has started because of an Abyss Compendium, which has led to no one going to the Abyss Passage in Starsea City. You can throw the dolls there instead.

Chen Luo could devise a fairly comprehensive identity for the puppets—natives of the abyss passage, unlucky souls brought about by dimensional turbulence.

There are indeed many of these local natives in the Abyss Passage.

Although the number of local NPCs brought into the Abyss Passage by the spacetime turbulence is usually small, no one knows exactly how the Abyss Passage was formed, so there is no problem if an accident occurs.

After all, whether it's the Abyss Plane or the Spiritual Plane, they can be said to know nothing about the Abyss Passage, which is why the Abyss Compendium is so popular.

However, this plan requires a little cooperation from the consciousness of the Abyss Passage...

Even with the dungeon as a better option now, Chen Luo doesn't plan to miss out on the Abyss Passage, since you can never have too many alternative dungeons.

Because there will be more and more puppets in the park.

Although the dungeon is large, it has a capacity limit.

And the Abyss Passage... There are many Abyss Passages around the world, each of varying sizes. Even the medium-sized Abyss Passage in Xinghai City is as big as the Earth.

A single abyss passage is enough to accommodate all the people in the entire abyss plane and the spiritual energy plane, so these abyss passages, whether in the abyss plane or the spiritual energy plane, are not explored enough—because the abyss passages are updated in real time.

Furthermore, even now, there are no safe spots in the Abyss Passage. Only the Adventurers' Guild can provide some protection for adventurers, and even then, it can't accommodate many people.

Therefore, Chen Luo considered using the puppet's ability to not fear death to establish a place close to safety in each abyss passage.

At that time, both the Abyss Plane and the Spiritual Plane will benefit.

"Chen Luo! Are you kidding me?! Why did you give me these tasks?" Chen Luo's thoughts were wandering when he heard Xiao Jiu's somewhat embarrassed and angry voice.

"what happened?"

"What else? What's the meaning of making me accompany Abi to study?" Xiao Jiu jumped up and slapped the task sheet in Chen Luo's face.

"As you can see, go to the Moon World to accompany Abi in her studies. You're still a child yourself, and children should act like children. What are children your age doing if they're not going to school?"

"are you crazy!"

What were you thinking, sending a celestial emperor to tutor a child?

"500 gold coins a day, food and lodging included, take it or leave it."

"500 gold coins..."

Xiao Jiu was somewhat tempted; with 500 gold coins, she could earn 5000 gold coins in just 10 days.

Once I've collected 1 gold coins, I can issue another Heavenly Decree!

But why does a Heavenly Emperor like himself need Chen Luo's help to issue Heavenly Laws?

Is a veto power really that great?

"If you're not satisfied, you can change to other tasks. For example, the one in your left hand can help me prevent others from ambushing me while I'm summoning angels to make rose dolls, including but not limited to demons like Othinus. But Othinus probably won't make a move; she'll just be there eating sunflower seeds. 3000 gold coins."

"..."

"These are all experimental tasks. Since we're unsure what price to set for the gold coins, we're giving out a lot of gold coins right now. It's a closed beta test and there will be no data wipe. Are you really not going to consider it?"

"Then... I'll accept both!" Xiao Jiu was tempted.

"Then congratulations, my friend, your favorability towards me has increased by 2 points."

"Huh? Favorability rating?" Xiao Jiu was taken aback.

"That's right. Because you solved my problem and gave me time to do more things, I developed a liking for you, and that's the reward. Haven't you ever played a game? That's what it says in games."

"...Then what's the point of raising your favorability rating?"

"It will make me like you," Chen Luo said without changing his expression.

"Go find Mei and the others with this worthless goodwill, what's the point of coming to me? And do you think this is a game?" Xiao Jiu looked at Chen Luo with disdain.

"The higher the favorability rating, the lower the discount. After increasing favorability by two points, you will receive a 9.8% discount on any item purchased from me," Chen Luo said coldly.

"So you really want to give these two points of affection to Raiden Mei?"

"No need to see me out! No need to see me out! My dear Chen Luo, how can I increase my favorability with you?" Xiao Jiu's eyes lit up instantly.

"Helping me solve my problems, expressing your wish for a high-paying, low-stress job close to home, and showing concern for me will all earn you my favorability. However, once your favorability reaches 50 points, you will enter a special state, and unless you use a special method to break through, you will not be able to break through to above 50 points," Chen Luo said.

"How do I break through their goodwill?" Xiao Jiu asked, somewhat puzzled.

"I'd like to know too," Chen Luo sighed.

Aside from the Law Enforcer, whose discount was as low as 5% due to coincidence, Chen Luo had never seen any other exceptions. His parents might be an exception, but they weren't on his friend list.

Therefore, Chen Luo still doesn't know how to break through this limitation.

Is it necessary to establish a special relationship with the person you have a crush on, one that is different from everyone else's?

"Since you are the first beta tester, your phone will be modified so that you can see my favorability rating on your phone," Chen Luo said to Xiao Jiu, quickly shaking off his melancholy.

"Then... there's no initial affinity or anything like that?"

"Yes, if you complete any special achievements, such as completing 10, 20, or 30 tasks with me, you'll have a chance to earn achievements that increase your initial favorability. If you complete any unexpected events with me, you'll receive even more favorability rewards."

"Isn't this exactly the same as the game?"

"correct."

"Then let me ask for Mei, I really mean for Raiden Mei. After reaching 50 affection points, can I do whatever I want to you?"

"!!!" Chen Luo took a step back.

"Of course not, I, Chen, sell my art, not my body!"

"Then... 100?" Xiao Jiu asked tentatively.

"..." To be honest, Chen Luo was a little uncertain.

"I understand!" Seeing Chen Luo's hesitant expression, Xiao Jiu slapped her thigh.

"Although I'm not interested, Mei and the others definitely will. How about this, Chen Luo, let's make a deal. You raise my favorability by 3 points, and I'll secretly spread the word that if I raise your favorability to 100, I can do whatever I want to you in bed. That way, a lot of people will definitely raise your favorability and help you do all sorts of things! I'll make a killing! And you won't lose out either! How about it?"

Xiao Jiu was actually quite confident that Chen Luo would agree to the deal.

After all, Chen Luo is making a huge profit no matter how you look at it.

But according to the gaming community, am I the one who's the evil game shill?

"Get lost! What do you take me for, Chen Luo!" Chen Luo said angrily.

"Sigh, why don't you agree?"

"How could I possibly agree! But..."

"But what?"

"I can increase your favorability by two points, and then you can help me promote this favorability system."

"make a deal!"

"Great! Your favorability rating with me has reached 4 points, which means you get a huge 9.6% discount on purchases!"

"So, if I want to make an outrageous wish, all I need is 9600 gold coins, right?" Xiao Jiu said, stroking her chin.

"Yes."

"Are there any other ways to gain favorability? I felt like what you just said was a bit hard to understand." Xiao Jiu scratched her head.

"Then... going on adventures with me or spending more time together will increase your favorability. The specific feedback on your favorability will appear on the special interface connecting you to the group network," Chen Luo said.

"Understood!" Little 9 nodded.

"If I go with you to make some rose dolls later, would that count as an adventure together? Would it increase our affection?" Xiao Jiu asked, drawing inferences from one instance to another.

"Of course, completing tasks that benefit me will reward me with favorability points. The initial two favorability points you received were actually because you were the first player in the closed beta. Task-based favorability points will only be awarded after completing the task," Chen Luo said.

[You're a genius! While they were gaining 10 points of favorability with you, you maxed out theirs. I really don't know who benefited more in terms of favorability now.]

"What if the favorability rating overflows?" Xiao Jiu suddenly thought of a question.

“We can exchange them for Favorability Crystals. Having Favorability Crystals allows you to temporarily break through the 50 Favorability limit and further reduce the discount. This is suitable for use when buying expensive items, but this temporary Favorability is a consumable,” Chen Luo said after thinking for a moment.

"Can't it be traded to someone else?"

"This is my favorability score! Why would you want to trade it to someone else?"

"I was originally planning to use these affection crystals to exchange for some good stuff from Mei..."

"Stop thinking about your Mei, okay? I've never seen you two get along that well before."

“But from what I’ve observed, Mei is one of the people who are most lusting after your body, right? How about… I make a deal with Mebius?” Xiao Jiu asked.

"..."

aba aba

Chen Luo thought for a moment and then turned and left.

"Hey, where are you going?" Xiao Jiu quickly followed.

"Go make rose dolls. It's time to give Suigintou a few more little sisters."
