Their commission was suspicious.

It wasn't because of their high status, although that was part of the reason, but more so because of the shock... why were they still alive?

Of course, this is a question that Hua Sanli definitely cannot ask.

Moreover, Hana Sanri isn't stupid. Since Lady Kitsai was able to survive, it's not impossible that Torachiyo and Raiden Shin, who died around the same time as her, are still alive. And isn't it obvious who could have done this?

It must have been Lord Yae no Miko who did it!

Ahem, although it's embarrassing to say, Hana Sanri has already started to consider whether she should do something within her power for Chen Luo.

Because Chen Luo saved the Fox Palace, Chen Luo created him, and Chen Luo also saved him 500 years later...

"Hana Sanri, you were really saved by Chen Luo! Come, come, let me see." Almost the moment Hana Sanri greeted everyone, she was pulled to the person's side by an undeniable force, and then her face was wantonly played with, making Ying, who had come along with her, quite envious.

However, Hana Sanri, who was being pulled and tugged, dared not resist, because the one doing this to her was none other than the noble and supreme Raijin from 500 years ago.

"By the way...did you wash the dishes after you finished eating?" Chen Luo suddenly asked.

"Why did the topic jump so fast? And I haven't even asked you why you brought Yakumo Yukari back? Did you come here to freeload? You're too late then," Xiao Shi said in surprise.

"I washed the dishes!" Su Yuan said, hands on her hips.

"So sensible!" Chen Luo praised enthusiastically.

It won't kill you to praise someone a couple of times.

"Although it used spiritual power," Bai Zhi whispered from the side.

"What's wrong with spiritual power? Just tell me if that spiritual power comes from me."

"Yes, yes, yes. So, Yukari Yakumo, you're late."

"I'm not here to freeload, I'm here to freeload off Chen Luo."

"???"

Yakumo Yukari's words instantly stirred up a huge wave, changing the atmosphere of the entire living room.

"She needs a head pat to heal her soul mutation because she ate too many Paradise coins. There's a client who's commissioned her," Chen Luo quickly explained.

"Oh, I see."

"Hey, be more specific next time."

"Next life... I mean, be more careful next time."

The tense atmosphere in the living room instantly eased after Chen Luo's explanation.

No one would doubt that Chen Luo would lie, because everyone knows that Chen Luo is really interested in the commission.

Hua Sanli, who had only known Chen Luo for a short time, didn't quite understand why the atmosphere in the living room could change so quickly, faster than a change of expression.

But soon Hana Sanri was pulled away by Raiden Shin to chat.

"Yukari Yakumo, how many Paradise Coins do you consume in a day to reach the point where you need treatment for your soul mutation?" Bai Zhi asked curiously.

“It mainly depends on how much time I usually spend with Chen Luo. Today he asked me for a favor, and I had some free time, so I ate a little more. I’ve already eaten 600 today,” Yukari Yakumo said.

Gold coins nourish silently and subtly.

"You're practically eating gold coins like they're food! Do you ever feel full after eating so many gold coins?"

"I don't feel full physically, but I do feel a sense of satiety in my soul. Chen Luo, your Paradise Coins aren't any good either. How come you're almost full before you've even eaten 1000 souls?" Yukari Yakumo turned to Chen Luo and said with disdain.

"Do you want to listen to what you're saying? Is my Paradise Gold Coins not strong enough? This is clearly a problem with your own soul's tolerance." Chen Luo gasped because of Yakumo Yukari's shamelessness.

You go to the gym and run on the treadmill, but you get exhausted after just a couple of steps, and then you blame it on the high price of the treadmill?

Does the price of a treadmill have anything to do with how long you can run on it?

"Perhaps this is a case of 'haste makes waste'? But your Paradise Coins are increasing your soul attributes by too little." Yukari Yakumo knew that items like Paradise Coins, which increase soul strength, couldn't be used too much at once, otherwise the effect would be too great, but that didn't stop her from complaining.

"Killing 10 zombies will get you one Paradise Coin. It's that cheap. What more could you want? If you really want to get stronger quickly, I have a coin here. Eat it, and your soul strength will at least double. The question is, do you dare to eat it?" Chen Luo flicked a coin away, and it was caught by Yakumo Yukari.

"This is..." Yakumo Yukari looked at the ordinary gold coin in her hand, but inexplicably felt a sense of unease.

"This is also a Paradise Gold Coin, but the experience value within this Paradise Gold Coin is approximately 1,000 million times that of a regular Paradise Gold Coin. If you consume it, your soul strength will at least double. Do you want to consume it?"

"What will the consequences be?" Yukari Yakumo knew that eating it might have bad consequences, but the temptation of this gold coin was really great.

"The consequence is that your soul will instantly become a puppet, and even a gentle pat on the head won't save you. The instant expansion of your soul will bring a tremendous tearing sensation, which may turn you into an idiot. Even if you don't become an idiot, your soul will be bloated and it will take a long time to adapt. Moreover, at least half of the Paradise Coins worth 1,000 million gold coins will be wasted... After saying all this, can you give the gold coins back to me?" Chen Luo said, looking at the Paradise Coins that Yakumo Yukari was holding tightly in her hand.

"No, I stole it with my own skills, why should I give it back to you?"

"You can't eat it all."

"I wouldn't dare eat it, but that doesn't stop this Paradise Coin from being very valuable!"

"...That makes sense."

However, Chen Luo snapped his fingers, and Yakumo Yukari's hand instantly went empty.

The experience gained from the gold coins was then absorbed back into the social network.

“Items that can enhance the soul like this are meant to be strengthened gradually. Don’t be too ambitious and try to achieve it all at once. You’re still young, you have time.” Chen Luo patted Yakumo Yukari on the shoulder.

"As long as you keep consuming Paradise Coins, your soul strength will increase sooner or later, so don't rush it."

"Anyone can say that, but you're not qualified to say it. How dare you tell others not to be overly ambitious and expect to achieve everything at once? Don't you even think about how long it's been since you became a gifted individual?" Yakumo Yukari looked at Chen Luo, who seemed to be comforting her, and felt completely numb.

Do you want to hear what you're saying?

How can you, a real 17-year-old, comfort me, a 17-year-old and n-month-old?

Why do you think I'm in such a hurry? It's because you provoked me.

Yukari Yakumo didn't entirely watch Chen Luo grow up, but when she first met him, he didn't possess any talents other than his own.

At that time, Chen Luo only had one Wind-type Divine Eye.

Now? Yukari Yakumo had no doubt that Chen Luo could punch her so hard she was whimpering.

And this has only been less than three months.

That damned talent monster!

Previously, it was always others who criticized Yakumo Yukari for having strange talents, but Yakumo Yukari never imagined that one day she would also criticize others for having strange talents.

Yukari Yakumo was wrong. She only knew that humans grew faster than youkai, but she didn't expect it to happen so fast.

He surpassed himself in terms of talent level in just two months.

If you're so amazing, why don't you go and surpass Othinus?

However, the only thing that comforted Yukari Yakumo was that although Chen Luo was now stronger than her, all of Chen Luo's advanced talents were support talents.

If we don't count the magic power that Yukari placed with Chen Luo, Yakumo Yukari still has a slight advantage over Chen Luo in terms of magic power.

If they were to actually fight, Yukari Yakumo was confident that she could go toe-to-toe with Chen Luo without him using any special skills or items.

Mocking for 5 seconds, then running away for 5 hours!

Yukari Yakumo was quite confident in her ability to escape.

The only thing that gives Yakumo Yukari a sense of accomplishment right now is that her demonic power is greater than Chen Luo's, since one's own magical power cannot be increased overnight.

Unless Chen Luo becomes a completely inhuman being.

Otherwise, Chen Luo's own magic power accumulation speed would be limited in a short period of time.

Go ahead and surpass me! If you're so capable, then surpass me!

[Is she super...serious?] The user-friendly plugin hesitated, as if to say something but then stopped.

"???"

Why don't you surpass Yakumo Yukari now?

"???"

I was talking about magic, what nonsense are you thinking?

"..."

Actually, Chen Luo isn't incapable of surpassing Yakumo Yukari... in terms of magic power.

For every task Chen Luo completes, in addition to raw stones, he also receives multi-faceted enhancements in stamina, magic power, and mental strength. The higher the difficulty of the task, the greater the reward.

Chen Luo generally distributes these attributes evenly.

But in addition to that, Chen Luo also possesses a great deal of river god power.

Unlike experience, Chen Luo's River God power can truly enhance his attributes without any side effects. Chen Luo has basically never used this power and has been accumulating it.

In gaming terms, Chen Luo still has 1500 attribute points left unused.

People may not have a clear concept of 1500 attribute points... Yu's magic attribute is only 2000 points.

Don't underestimate 2000 magic power. Although Yu is bad at fighting, his magic power is world-class. With just his massive magic power, he can make his words come true.

But as I said before, Chen Luo borrowed 2000 attribute points of magic from his friend through his own abilities, so why can't it be considered Chen Luo's own?

That's what he said, but since this magic was ultimately just borrowed, Chen Luo kept thinking about whether to allocate his attribute points to magic or spirit... He hesitated and then gave up thinking about it.

Physical strength? Forget about physical strength, as long as it's enough.

So, should you surpass Yukari Yakumo? Regarding magic power, you already have 400 magic points; you only need to allocate another 200 attribute points.

"No."

Chapter 1642 Chen Luo: No one's growth can be achieved overnight... Talent, draw cards!

"...Are you all just going to let me take all the benefits? Even the donkeys in the production team shouldn't be treated like this." Chen Luo looked at the group of people sitting in the living room with a dark face.

"Don't say that, aren't we just supporting you? Oh, it's my turn, it's my turn." Yukari Yakumo raised her hand.

Although Chen Luo complained quite a bit about Yakumo Yukari's behavior, he still obediently walked up to her and patted her head.

She only released Yakumo Yukari after confirming that the other person could only tolerate a single head pat for a maximum amount of time, and then walked towards another guest.

"Yakumo Yukari, aren't you full? Why are you still eating?" Bai Zhi, who was being patted on the head by Chen Luo, asked.

“I’m almost full, but not completely full; those are two different things. Besides, it’s like attending a banquet. Since Chen Luo is free, of course I have to eat more. Anyway, Chen Luo might as well take advantage of this. If it weren’t for the fact that I can’t take leftovers, I would love to take away several thousand more Paradise Gold Coins worth of purification tokens,” said Yukari Yakumo.

“If you keep playing like this, you’ll ruin yourself sooner or later. Let me tell you, you can only eat a maximum of three thousand a day. No more. And don’t try to eat Paradise Coins like Yukari Yakumo, especially don’t try to do the extreme things she does.” Chen Luo said to the group sitting in the living room who were constantly eating Paradise Coins.

This is the evil trend started by Yukari Yakumo.

While eating Paradise Coins can indeed increase soul strength, and are indeed invaluable treasures for talented individuals like Bai Zhi and Su Yuan, they can't keep trying to do extreme things like Yakumo Yukari.

In the spiritual plane, talents are abilities bound to the soul and born from the soul. Therefore, increasing the strength of the soul can indeed slowly increase the strength of the talent.

"Don't say that. Didn't we also give you a corresponding reward? Purifying a monster worth 1000 gold coins and giving you 1000 gold coins as a reward, isn't that a good deal?" Yukari Yakumo said.

"...If it weren't for our good relationship, why would I be here with you guys as a purification tool, earning millions of Paradise Gold Coins in no time? It's not like I have nothing better to do." Chen Luo rolled his eyes at Yakumo Yukari.

"Just blow it."

"Heh, killing 10 zombies earns you one Paradise Coin. Assuming you can kill 5 zombies per minute, that means two people can earn one Paradise Coin per minute. Half of that belongs to the group network, which means it belongs to me. To put it another way, it's equivalent to four people providing me with one Paradise Coin per minute."

"And I already have more than 1,000 million puppets. In an optimistic scenario, the swarm network will provide me with more than a million in revenue per minute."

And this doesn't even include the S-level and A-level talents, who can kill hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of zombies per minute.

Moreover, compared to zombies, which are pitifully weak monsters, other monsters provide more experience.

Of course, this is under optimistic circumstances. The fact is that at present, at least 1,000% of the more than 8 million puppets have no monsters to kill.

Moreover, over 90% of these Paradise Coins are needed as working capital for the group network.

"...If I had 10 million Paradise Coins, I could double the strength of my soul. That means...the traffic of your entire network per minute would be 1/1,000 of mine?" Yukari Yakumo exclaimed in surprise.

"more or less."

"Then why didn't you eat any Paradise Coins?"

"That thing is useless to me," Chen Luo said calmly as he patted the heads of his friends one by one along the perimeter of the living room sofa, purifying their corrupted souls.

"It didn't work?"

"Hmm, it's useless. Although it might sound hateful to say this, my soul has reached its limit in terms of purity." Chen Luo sighed.

Bai Zhi and the others ate Paradise Coins to increase their soul capacity and expand their souls, so that they could bear higher-level talents, making it easier to break through to higher-level talents.

However, the talent nurtured within Chen Luo's soul is at the EX level, meaning that Chen Luo's soul capacity is already at its maximum.

In other words, although Chen Luo's soul is not extremely strong at the moment, it's only a matter of time.
