Their commission was suspicious.

Chapter 1587 The Seventh Rose Doll - Xuehua Qijing's Mutation!

"If I make a doll for you, will I gain your favor?"

"Give me a break, I'll be grateful if you don't cause any trouble." Chen Luo rolled his eyes at Xiao Jiu.

"If I don't cause trouble, will I be able to gain your favor?"

"...Favorability can not only increase, but it can also decrease," Chen Luo said earnestly.

Even when Chen Luo was obsessed with gaining favor, he never thought of Xiao Jiu's unorthodox methods.

"Never mind then." Xiao Jiu sat obediently in the bar, watching Chen Luo make dolls with various materials.

"Why are all these dolls made of different materials? Weren't they supposed to be a sister set?" Xiao Jiu asked, puzzled.

"By the way, if I ask you questions now, won't it lower my favorability rating?"

"It's just a chat between friends... Just treat me like a game character (NPC). As long as we don't enter the story mode, you can do whatever you want." Chen Luo created that favorability system to fool Xiao Jiu, not to make everyone try to increase his favorability by any means necessary.

However, Chen Luo does have a lot of work to do, which he can send to his friends and ask them for help.

After all, Chen Luo was busy like this precisely because he was trying to help them.

Fortunately, Chen Luo wasn't too worried about those puppets. As long as they had a place to grind monsters, that would be enough. They would handle the rest themselves. A mature puppet should be able to handle everything except for dungeons.

"As for why these six sets of materials are all different, it's because even septuplets should be different. Each of the seven rose dolls has its own unique characteristics."

"In addition to each of them needing one rose of the type they represent as rose dolls, different materials should also be used to make them according to their characteristics."

"However, you can actually make an exception this time..."

"You can compromise on something like this?" Xiao Jiu asked.

"That's the advantage of dolls, because dolls can have their body parts replaced, and if nothing unexpected happens, all the Rose Dolls will eventually be replaced with dolls made from branches of the World Tree."

Therefore, the bodies of the dolls being made now only need to conform to the characteristics of those Rose Dolls themselves, since their original bodies probably won't be used for too long before they are replaced.

"Then why don't you just wait until the World Tree is fully grown, then use top-tier materials to create bodies for them before awakening them?"

“Because this way the waiting time might be a bit long. Suigintou must be eager to have a new little sister, right?” Chen Luo looked at Suigintou, who was watching him make the doll step by step.

"No, I don't want to." Mercury Lamp shook her head.

"Look, this child is shy."

"..." by Mercury Lamp.

“No, I feel she really doesn’t want to,” Xiao Jiu said.

Honestly, that's true. After all, what only daughter wants her father to make her several more dolls to share the already limited amount of fatherly love?

Although Chen Luo does have several armed puppets, only Suigintou is a puppet he personally crafted that possesses both rationality and spirituality.

However, Suigintou wasn't particularly averse to her sisters.

As long as Father is happy, then there's no problem!

"I don't have much fatherly love, I just don't have the time... No, I'm still a child, where would I get fatherly love?"

[Think about it yourself. I'm still a child myself.]

"These materials must be quite valuable, right? Since these bodies will eventually be replaced, why don't you just make spirit puppets?" Xiao Jiu asked, somewhat puzzled.

But since Chen Luo did this, he must have had a deeper meaning.

But upon hearing Xiao Jiu's mutterings, Chen Luo suddenly stopped what he was doing and stared intently at Xiao Jiu.

"What's wrong? What do you want? I just wanted to say something, can't I even speak? Then I'll shut up." Xiao Jiu originally wanted to argue with Chen Luo, but considering that she was still trying to improve Chen Luo's favorability, she chose to keep quiet.

“No, the idea you just proposed is very interesting.” A strange light flickered in Chen Luo’s eyes.

Chen Luo's investigative abilities allow him to see everything he wants to see and foresee the future, but this inspiration came quite unexpectedly.

That's right, Chen Luo triggered his [Inspiration] ability.

This is a byproduct of the artifacts that Chen Luo generated when he summoned the three starter Pokémon, an SSS-rank talent.

Chen Luo triggers this skill very rarely, and it cannot be triggered in daily life. This passive skill will only be triggered when Chen Luo is making, creating, or researching something.

Because it is completely uncontrollable, Chen Luo did not take this factor into account when making the doll.

The user-friendly plugin didn't anticipate this, because in a sense, the ability to detect things and the ability to draw inspiration share the same origin.

Besides, if inspiration could be predicted, it wouldn't be inspiration.

“But now I have made 5 dolls…” Chen Luo looked down at the sixth rose doll, Hinaichigo, which he had just finished in his hands.

"Since they're already made, let's not waste them. Let's use this technique on the last doll," Xiao Jiu said nonchalantly.

"...Is this what they mean by feigning ignorance? That's amazing."

"Of course... wait, how exactly did you view me, the Heavenly Emperor, before?"

"Alright, don't bother me, or I'll lose favorability with you." Chen Luo raised his hand to interrupt Xiao Jiu, then put all the materials for the 7th doll into his backpack.

"Generally speaking, making a spirit doll requires not only higher technology, but also, because there is no vessel, it may take longer for it to develop spirituality than a normal doll. But that's okay, I recently acquired some strange and unusual items. However, in this case, Xuehua Qijing, who is ranked seventh, may be the second one to fully develop spirituality."

"And I happen to have gathered enough materials to make a high-end version of the spirit doll. First, there's the Seed of Inner Demons..."

The Seed of Inner Demons, also known as the Inner Demon Catalyst, is essentially the same thing—an item dropped after defeating an Inner Demon.

The inner demon that Chen Luo killed at the beginning naturally couldn't be kept by Chen Luo; it had already been fed to Xiao Shi.

However, there is actually another inner demon within Chen Luo's puppet world.

That was the inner demon that Chen Luo encountered after he had just obtained the River God's power and was "deified" in the spiritual energy plane, and came to join the fun by the Luo River.

At that time, Chen Luo even took out the core of the inner demon to strengthen Xiao Shi's inner demon abilities.

However, because this inner demon was personified, it could die repeatedly. Later, after killing her once, the seed of this inner demon fell.

Since it is a spirit doll, it must be constructed using special items related to spirits.

Inspiration is hard to come by, so when making the 7th doll, Chen Luo chose a completely different method than the other 6 dolls.

Other dolls are created by infusing the dolls with excessive spirituality, thereby giving them intelligence.

But this seventh doll did the opposite, directly locking the excessive spirituality from the angels into a special kind of spirit doll.

Chen Luo couldn't have achieved this in the past because he was only a master-level puppeteer. But now he's a puppeteer of extraordinary skill.

“Use the Seed of Inner Demons to form the base material, so that it has special mental abilities. Since it is a spirit doll without a physical body, let her have the power of the mind.”

"Next, I will combine the Life Sprout obtained from Aha with the Seed of Inner Demon, drawing upon the abundant power within the Life Sprout to give the spirit puppet the ability to bewitch. At the same time, I will grant her the ability to switch between physical and illusory states, as well as the power to manipulate plants."

While the God of Abundance does indeed bestow blessings upon all people selflessly, this power itself possesses an irresistible allure for life.

"Then use the golden sunlight to accelerate its growth..." As Chen Luo continued to pour the golden sunlight on it, the translucent seed that Chen Luo had created by combining the Seed of Heart Demon and the Sprout of Abundance began to grow gradually. Under Chen Luo's fine-tuning and the injection of power, it strangely grew from a seed into a puppet.

"Finally... use the leaves of the World Tree to neutralize the evil of both the Seed of Inner Demons and the Bud of Abundance, while simultaneously increasing adaptability to the World Tree..."

This is the second leaf that has grown from the World Tree in Chen Luo's puppet world.

The first leaf? It's already been collected by Chen Luo.

The leaves of the World Tree that grows in the world of dolls possess extremely strong spiritual purification abilities, capable of purifying any negative spiritual influences.

This was the method Chen Luo had originally prepared to prevent visitors to the puppet park from being turned into puppets, but he didn't expect to use it first to neutralize the evil nature of the Seed of Inner Demons and the Sprout of Life.

Watching the World Tree leaves completely dissolve into the translucent spirit doll, and incidentally evolve the entire doll into a pinkish-white color, Chen Luo gently placed the prepared white rose on the right eye of the 7th doll before the spirit doll completely solidified.

Mission accomplished!

After waiting quietly for 10 minutes, the spirit doll solidified completely, and the 7th doll was born.

Because the 7th doll is a creation of the mind, it may be the fastest to awaken among the 7 sisters, even faster than the previous Suigintou.

So... is she now considered the seventh sister or the second sister?

Mercury Lamp, who was watching the entire doll-making process from the side, pouted.

I always felt that my father put the most effort into this seventh doll because she was the most special.

"Good girl, Suigintou, if you want this form, how could I not grant your wish? Once the World Tree grows up, I will make a special doll body tailored just for you. Even the World Consciousness will have to wait for you." Chen Luo noticed Suigintou's thoughts and comforted her.

All disagreements begin with a little misunderstanding at the beginning.

"Okay, it's a deal." Mercury Lamp kissed Chen Luo on the cheek.

Mercury Lamp wasn't worried at all, because she had something that no other Rose Doll had: the experience of having Chen Luo all to herself.

The requirements for dolls that are born of spirituality are often very simple and easy to meet.

"It's a word."

Chapter 1588 New Identity: Miyu Sakuzuki's Older Brother? What kind of fun is this? Human World Consciousness?

"Even if I, Chen Luo, bear the weight of the Heavenly Abyss, I will still... Xiao Jiu, save me!" Chen Luo turned around dashingly, then fled in panic.

"Ugh!!! Why did you summon six archangels at the same time?!" The young Heavenly Emperor glared at Chen Luo in annoyance.

"I just wanted to achieve this in one fell swoop, and besides, I have you here, don't I?" Chen Luo quickly swept past the young Heavenly Emperor and threw something to her.

While the young Emperor complained about Chen Luo's actions, his body betrayed him by catching the object and incidentally stopping the enraged fifth doll—Crimson.

Chen Luo breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the young Heavenly Emperor had blocked the enemy for him.

Chen Luo had his reasons for summoning six archangels to the mortal realm. The world couldn't tolerate Chen Luo's whims and his tendency to summon archangels every now and then.

Therefore, if Chen Luo summons six archangels at once to solve the problem all at once, the people of this world will not object!

Chen Luo is really too smart.

As for whether Chen Luo can defeat the six archangels who descended to earth, that's not Chen Luo's concern; that's Xiao Jiu's concern.

Although the power systems in different worlds are quite different, and Xiao Jiu is mostly a comedian in the bar, Xiao Jiu's true form is still one of the strongest beings in one of the strongest planes in Chen Luo's world.

In the entire world where Chen Luo lives, there are no more than five people who can defeat Xiao Jiu, maybe not even five. However, there are some people who are at the same level as Xiao Jiu.

However, given Xiao Jiu's condition of being cursed by the River of Time, Chen Luo used the River of Time to summon both Xiao Jiu's youthful and adult forms.

After calculation, it was proven that, although the way Xiao Jiu appeared was different from others, both the teenage and adult versions of Xiao Jiu were indeed enhanced...

Of course, the side effect is that whether it's the teenage Xiao Jiu or the adult Xiao Jiu, they are all phantoms. Chen Luo needs to press the human Xiao Jiu into the river of time every few minutes to summon henchmen.

The phantom is good; it proves that both the youth form and the adult form possess SSS-level power. However, the drawback is that the summoning frequency is a bit too high.

With the enhanced strength of both the young and adult forms of Xiao Jiu, stopping these six puppets possessed by the power of the archangels should have been a piece of cake. In fact, if Xiao Jiu weren't currently in a cursed state and could only appear in his juvenile form, a normal adult form of Xiao Jiu could easily overwhelm the six archangels.

The problem is that Xiao Jiu is just too strong, and Xiao Jiu's position is the Heavenly Emperor. When Xiao Jiu came to this world of A Certain Magical Index where status determines everything, he almost died on the spot.

Yes, it really was ascension to heaven.

Now, whether in their juvenile, adolescent, or adult forms, they must devote over 90% of their energy to refusing to become the demon god of this world. They also cannot use time manipulation abilities (this is crucial), and they must control their power to avoid harming Chen Luo's puppets; they can only defend...

Is this really the kind of difficult thing to do?

For the Heavenly Emperor, becoming a demon god in this world is not a good thing.

This resulted in a significant reduction in the energy levels of both the young and adult versions of Xiao Jiu. After a brief discussion, it was decided that the young Xiao Jiu would be responsible for two archangels, the adult Xiao Jiu for three archangels, and Chen Luo for one.

Originally, the youth form could have been responsible for three, but due to the strange nature of Chen Luo's seventh puppet, whether it was the youth form or the adult form, adding a seventh puppet would easily cause them to lose control of their internal power and be forcibly upgraded. Therefore, only Chen Luo could take on the responsibility.

Who told Chen Luo to have nothing better to do than add all sorts of weird things to the 7th doll? Now look what happened!

"Hehehe..." Chen Luo, who was in a stealthy state, could faintly hear a laugh that sounded exactly like a yandere echoing in his ears.

"Damn it, was it affected when I exited the stealth mode just now?"

Chen Luo's withdrawal from the virtual body stealth mode was out of necessity, because he needed to pass the taunt marks of the six archangels to the young Heavenly Emperor and the adult Xiao Jiu.

Chen Luo's "Ah yes yes yes" can transfer hatred through friends, and Chen Luo chose the old bug.

The reason for not directly choosing the teenage Xiao Jiu and the adult Xiao Jiu is to prevent them from being unable to persevere and thus being forcibly promoted.

After shifting their hatred to the old bug, they only need to hold and protect the old bug to firmly draw the hatred of the other five archangels to themselves. When the power imbalance becomes unbalanced and they are about to be promoted, they can simply throw the old bug out to attract the firepower.

"Here you go." Chen Luo risked exiting his stealth state again, then tossed the old bug, which had been marked with the hatred of the three archangels, to the adult Xiao Jiu.

The teenage form of Xiao Jiu and the adult form of Xiao Jiu are summoned separately.

After Chen Luo's River God ability reached the SS level, the duration of the phantom increased. However, the stronger the ability, the shorter the duration. Fortunately, it seems that the shortest duration will not be less than three minutes.

The teenage version of Xiao Jiu can maintain the form for 5 minutes, while the adult version can maintain it for 3 minutes.

In order to avoid being targeted by all enemies due to the time difference, Chen Luo directly immersed Xiao Jiu's main body, which was staying in the bar, into the River of Time, with the phantom disappearing and being summoned at any time.
