Their commission was suspicious.

But obviously not.

Hmm... If I had to say, how about inviting someone to try out the simulated universe, then having them fight monsters for a day, and I'll give you 10 Paradise Coins in return?

Is the reward too small?

Chapter 1632 Merlin: You think you can bribe me with 60 crystals? You'll have to pay more!

"Finally, the interrogation... is over." Chen Luo stretched.

Although more than 20 people were ambushed and knocked to the ground by Chen Luo using a red orca doll, the good news is that more than half of these 20 people were just there to join in the fun and then got hit. Only a few people came to find Chen Luo because they had a problem.

So dealing with their problem didn't even take 10 minutes.

Although the main reason it didn't take 10 minutes was that some things needed to be dealt with later, at least Chen Luo had now calmed everyone down.

"Alright, you should have had lunch when you arrived, so it's even more time for lunch now. Everyone go home and find your mothers. I'm going back to eat too," Chen Luo said, standing up.

"So you're not going to give me any compensation?" Merlin said, slamming his hand on the table.

"Hmm, how about I pay for today's expenses? I'll even provide you with a special lunch?" Chen Luo offered his suggestion.

While Merlin, that heartless scoundrel, certainly loved watching the drama unfold, it's true that the other party was unlucky enough to be knocked unconscious by his own blow, and the others were quite unlucky too.

“You don’t have to pay for the bar, right? But this is acceptable as compensation, but it’s not enough,” Merlin said.

Merlin wouldn't take Chen Luo's bar for granted because it's free; even if it's a mutually beneficial arrangement between Chen Luo's bar and its customers, it's still not acceptable.

You can rest assured about this matter because Chen Luo is advising everyone to be at ease and not to care, but you can't take it for granted.

The bar has been open for so long that everyone has gotten used to the fact that it doesn't charge money, and everyone knows that they have paid some things that are not important to them in the process.

As I gradually adapted to the process, I got used to it.

However, most people in the bar also knew that it would be perfectly normal for Chen Luo to start charging money.

However... if we don't take advantage of Chen Luo's mistake this time to make amends, we won't have another chance!

Besides, if Merlin had a conscience, then he wouldn't be Merlin!

It was precisely because Merlin had no conscience that Chen Luo could persecute him with a clear conscience.

"What else do you want?" Chen Luo asked curiously.

"Monthly pass!" Merlin revealed his true intentions.

"You're dreaming!" Chen Luo refused Merlin's request.

"But they don't have the money to play the simulated universe game. Give them a monthly pass."

"Speak properly, and don't make such a ridiculous fuss." Chen Luo looked at Merlin, who was trying to act cute, with disdain.

"But I really don't have any Paradise Coins."

"Then go play games and make money!"

"But how can you play games if you don't have money?"

"Didn't I give you a three-day trial period?"

“But playing games with a specific purpose in mind is completely pointless,” Merlin waved his hand.

"Then don't play this game!"

"But this game is so much fun!"

"You f***..."

"Okay, okay, I was just joking, don't be angry."

Seeing Chen Luo pick up the red orca doll again, Merlin quickly covered his head and apologized.

“10 Paradise Coins a day shouldn’t be too expensive, right? Although the point card system is indeed very… strange,” Bronya said from the side.

“Games like Summon Seven Saints are fine, you can play them if you want, but running a simulated universe game also requires costs, so of course we have to charge some money,” Chen Luo said.

The main point of Chen Luo's conversation with Merlin was that Merlin and his friends needed to spend money to play the simulated universe game.

Because the simulated universe has real operating costs, and those costs are quite high, Chen Luo charges players 10 Paradise Coins every day.

However, compared to the operating costs of the simulated universe, 10 amusement park coins are merely a symbolic price.

The operating costs of the simulated universe are very high. Currently, only the special golden star core obtained by Haruhi Suzumiya can enable the functions of the simulated universe game, and it can only accommodate a few hundred people at most, so each game slot is very precious.

Moreover, the special golden star core is also subject to loss, and its energy is not inexhaustible. Although there is no need to worry about the energy running out in the short term, in order to prevent the golden star core from being damaged too much, Chen Luo installed his concept costume magic prism on the special golden star core.

We can currently guarantee at least a few hundred game slots, but if we want to expand, we'll need to find another energy core.

From this perspective, the fee of ten amusement park coins per day for playing the simulated universe is actually quite reasonable.

What's even more considerate is that in the amusement park, gold coins can actually be obtained by defeating monsters.

That's right. As long as you occasionally fight monsters while playing the simulated universe, you can maintain your daily game privileges. Moreover, the drop of Paradise Coins is independent of the drop of other materials and will not affect each other.

Because the new Paradise Coins are essentially [Experience].

The physical Paradise Coins are forged from experience, a soul energy that is omnipotent to dolls. If Yukari Yakumo and the others don't mind, they can take out the Paradise Coins and eat them, which will also benefit them, such as improving their soul quality and speeding up their soul recovery.

The advantage of Soulfire is that even bad guys can use Paradise Coins to heal their soul injuries.

However, because the experience is derived from Chen Luo's talent within the group network, consuming Paradise Coins will result in a certain degree of soul alienation.

However, this level of soul alienation, like skill books created using experience, will resolve itself after a period of time.

Chen Luo did a quick calculation and found that an average person's limit was about 10 Paradise Coins per day; eating more would really affect them to the point of becoming humanoid.

However, the stronger a person is, the higher their tolerance limit. Yukari Yakumo can eat over a hundred of them.

The reason why players in the simulated universe get Paradise Coins when they fight monsters is because the main body of the simulated universe is held by Chen Luo. Therefore, the game characters created by these players through the game helmet are also Chen Luo's summons, and thus they are connected to the group network, so they can gain experience.

The monthly card Merlin mentioned earlier is an item worth 300 Paradise Coins that grants you a month's access to the game, but it costs 299.

One Paradise Coin for a cheaper price.

"If you can't give me a monthly card, you should at least give me some other compensation, right?" Merlin seemed genuinely trying to get something from Chen Luo.

"Then... 60 amusement park coins per person?" Chen Luo said after hesitating for a moment.

This is equivalent to giving each person 6 days of free game experience.

"Only 60 Paradise Coins, what can that do?"

"Just tell me if you want it or not. I'll throw in a name change card."

"Of course!" Merlin happily accepted Chen Luo's compensation.

"These rewards will be sent to your game accounts in one minute," Chen Luo said.

This reward distribution is, of course, aimed at the victims. Almost everyone in the bar received a game slot, so using amusement park coins for compensation is appropriate.

Chen Luo didn't actually care about the compensation in Paradise Coins, but if the compensation was too much, those who weren't unlucky enough to be unlucky in this incident and didn't receive Paradise Coins might be unhappy, and might even deliberately seek out Chen Luo to suffer for them.

60 Amusement Park Coins, nothing happened!

(Whenever a bug occurs in Honkai Impact 3, all players on the server receive 60 crystals. Players who receive the crystals will selectively forget what happened. Therefore, it is jokingly referred to as "60 crystals, nothing happens.")

"Oh, right, Merlin, I prepared a special gift for you in the game. Remember to check it," Chen Luo said.

"What special gift?"

“A…gender change card.”

"Um???"

"Alright, everyone, are you going to eat at the bar or go home? I'm going home now. Susanoo!" Chen Luo snapped his fingers, and the Imperial Arm Susanoo appeared beside him, temporarily taking over the bar's chef system.

"See you all this afternoon." Chen Luo waved to the customers still waiting in the bar and then disappeared.

Chen Luo also needs to go home for lunch, and this lunch is very important.

Because Raiden was also coming for lunch, Chen Luo specially asked Miyoshi Chiyo to take the afternoon off and rush back at noon.

We were supposed to eat at 12 o'clock, but it looks like we won't be able to eat until 12:30.

But before that, Chen Luo needed to call those who weren't home back.

"A brand new 18-floor map, only one copper coin. Come and take a look if you're interested."

"Can someone take me straight to the 18th floor? Just open a portal and I'll give him a gold coin! Going down into the dungeon is so tiring."

Chen Luo arrived at the third level of the underground city and then saw a lot of transaction information through the regional network of the group network.

The copper coins mentioned in Transaction 1 refer to Paradise Copper Coins, which are generally used for internal transactions among Paradise members.

Because everyone is truly one family, they don't sell information like intelligence at high prices. However, since intelligence does have value, copper coins were developed.

One gold coin equals 10 silver coins, which in turn equals 100 copper coins.

The experience gained from killing a Highschool of the Dead zombie is roughly equivalent to 9 to 11 copper coins.

That means you can get one Paradise Coin for killing 10 zombies, which shows how cheap that 18-story map is, right?

The "teleportation portal" in the second transaction information refers to the ability of each doll to use itself as a teleportation point to summon other dolls to its current location.

However, Chen Luo went to the 5th floor, not the 18th.

"You two, it's time to go home for dinner!" Chen Luo practically grabbed Xiao Shi's ear and yelled at her.

The other person Chen Luo yelled at was Raiden Shin, who was hopelessly addicted to the game.

"Huh? So fast? Then let me play a little longer! Just a little while!"

"Now! Immediately! Right now!"

"Just a little while, let me kill another fifty... fifty monsters!"

"I'm going to unplug your internet cable."

"No!"

Chapter 1633 Don't call me Chen Luo, call me my benefactor!

"Xiao Shi, please go eat, I beg you," Kong Hebai said.

"Don't be such a coward."

"But if you don't go to eat, Chen Luo will unplug all of our internet cables!" Kong said, on the verge of tears.

Because the server for simulating the universe is in Chen Luo's hands, Chen Luo can unplug whose network cable he wants!

"It's just a matter of unplugging the network cable..."

"I didn't unplug your internet cable, right?"

“Pull mine too.”

“But if you beg for help, your internet connection will come back; if we beg for help, Chen Luo will forget about us as soon as he turns his back. Okay, let’s go eat lunch, we’re logging off too,” Kong said earnestly.

"Alright then." The Herrscher of Knowledge left reluctantly, accompanied by Raiden Shin.

The two figures disappeared into the fourth floor.

"Thank you both for your cooperation," Chen Luo said.

"It's okay, as long as you don't unplug our network cable." Kong sighed.

"Here are 30 gold coins, please accept them and go buy some better equipment. I'll be leaving now." After waving to the two blank figures, Chen Luo's phantom disappeared from the dungeon.

At the start of the game, Paradise Coins were quite valuable.

Sora and Shiro exchanged a glance and then saw the newly added thirty Paradise Coins displayed in their backpacks. After hesitating for a while, Sora spoke first.

"There are still too many people in this simulated universe. How about we go to simulated universe one?"

Surrounded by empty space, one could see a considerable number of Paradise Adventurers and ordinary adventurers strolling around the dungeon in the distance.

They weren't just wandering around; they simply couldn't find any monsters.

The good news is that after a period of congestion, the most skilled adventurers in the amusement park have all gone up to the tenth or twentieth floor to fight monsters.

Bad news: A significant number of newbies among the adventurers in Paradise are also wandering around floors 1-10.

Sora and Shiro knew that the people in the bar were all special gamers, and that they all had the same initial physical attributes. However, the adventurers in the amusement park were different; some were strong and some were weak.

At the start of the game, Kong and Bai don't have many advantages, especially since they don't have much practical experience.
