Their commission was suspicious.

"Su's alternate-world counterpart, right?"

"She's not exactly from another world; she's from Venus. But the difference isn't that big. Anyway, go punch her."

"Can I really win?"

"How could you possibly lose?"

"She has lived for hundreds of millions of years."

"Age doesn't determine ability. Besides, with so many special skills, can't you even manage to punch her?"

"That's possible, but I can't find her. Can you teleport me directly to her?"

To be honest, Chen Luo has quite a few ways to kill Suo, but to just throw a punch... would be a bit too much for Chen Luo.

"No, so I suddenly thought of a better way."

"What method?"

"While Sa's strength is indeed considerable, back in the previous civilization when your friend Su encountered Sa, Sa wasn't as powerful as the Honkai Impact 3rd Civilization. So, why didn't you just wait until Su was attacked and then go and punch Sa?"

"Furthermore, since you attacked her in the previous civilization, and the world's consciousness can disregard the rules of time, as long as you accept this mission, you can directly claim the reward after returning to the Honkai Impact 3rd civilization, regardless of whether you actually attacked her or not."

"Hiss..." Chen Luo gasped.

The logic of the world consciousness is that since Chen Luo is currently in the previous civilization, and Chen Luo accepted a mission in the previous civilization, then Chen Luo will probably punch Suo back in the previous civilization, and Suo will deliver the punch to his doorstep.

Most importantly, the world consciousness is not limited by time, so the world consciousness can determine whether Chen Luo punched Suo during this period of the previous civilization.

Chen Luo is able to travel between two different points in time in one world.

When Chen Luo returns to the present civilization, from the perspective of Chen Luo at this point in time, the Chen Luo of 5 years ago had already given Suo a punch, so Chen Luo can rightfully collect his salary!

A logical genius!

But why does the world consciousness insist that Chen Luo punch someone else?

"How's my suggestion? I took into account that you don't have time right now, so I'm sending you the reward first."

"World Consciousness is truly amazing!" Chen Luo gave absolute affirmation to World Consciousness's actions.

"Don't praise me; it won't do you any good."

"Yes Yes Yes."

"Are we even now? Let me tell you, I've really lost a fortune this time."

"Um... since you've given me the world coordinates, would you mind accelerating the growth of my World Tree a little, so it can bear fruit faster? You should help me to the end."

"I'll see this through to the end! I'm not some sucker!"

"I heard that agents can file complaints against the world's consciousness, right?"

"Sure, complaints and suggestions will be relayed to the World Consciousness Headquarters. What? You're planning to have Kevin complain about me? That's hilarious."

Who is this person in the hall, and why are you accusing me?

"But my parents are agents too. World Consciousness, you don't want me to tell my parents, and then have them complain to the World Consciousness Headquarters, saying you lied to the Source of the World, right?"

"……grass!"

For a moment, the world consciousness almost failed to distinguish which of the two things mentioned above had more serious consequences.

Damn it, Chen Luo accidentally chose the best escape route!

It would be better to let Kevin file a complaint! At worst, they'd just fine him a little, but if Chen Luo really did that, it wouldn't be something that could be solved by just paying some money!

"Don't be so angry. It's not like I'm unwilling to give anything. Although I don't have any money right now, I'm a puppeteer. I heard that your world consciousness is very interested in puppets carved from branches of the World Tree?"

"Not really interested. At least, I'm not interested at all."

"But at least it's a relatively rare product, isn't it? If you can't use it yourself, you can sell it."

"..."

"How does it feel to go from being a sucker to an angel investor?"

"It's not impossible..."

Although the World Consciousness is not really interested in the dolls carved from branches of the World Tree that can carry the World Consciousness, Chen Luo is right, these things can be sold for money.

In transactions between global consciousnesses, no one will default.

Although few world consciousnesses are willing to waste the World Source to purchase such a World Tree Doll that can carry world consciousness, those who can usually do this are generally wealthy world consciousnesses.

Although this thing certainly can't be considered a hard currency between world consciousnesses, since hard currency between worlds has always been the origin of the world, this thing shouldn't have any trouble selling.

The percentage of people using this item in the world consciousness is small, but the overall number of people in the world consciousness is large.

Furthermore, while the method of turning the World Tree into dolls is not a unique recipe, there are no more than 100 people in the entire Dimensional Sea who are capable of doing so, and there are probably no more than 20 people who can carve dolls made from World Tree branches into exquisite human figures.

Chen Luo is probably the cheapest and most useful of the latter.

Putting aside whether the price is expensive or not, the most crucial point is that no one dares to ask.

"So... dear World Consciousness sister, how much do you plan to invest?"

"Don't call me 'sister' anymore. I think I understand how Alicia feels in this world. Every time you call Alicia 'sister,' she gets into trouble, and every time you call me 'sister,' I get into trouble too... Actually, I also thought about cultivating the World Tree, but then I got the Imaginary Tree from the newbie gift pack, so I gave up. I still have some materials left over from cultivating the World Tree, but I can't sell them. The total value is... about 300 strands of Root Aura?"

"...Just say three shares of the Origin of the World, why do you need to convert the units?"

"Because that makes me sound more generous. Just tell me if you want it or not."

"Want to want."

"But afterwards you'll have to make me at least three World Tree dolls. And I don't have much patience; you must make them within 1000 years."

"..."

"What's wrong? Is there a problem?"

"No."

1000...

Chen Luo once again realized just how weak his sense of time was in his world consciousness.

Chapter 1667 A "token of love" given to Raiden Mei!

Wow, a golden legend!

"Wow, golden legends! These things are so bright, they're almost blinding!" Chen Luo said, covering his eyes.

"What are all these things? And Luo Luo, what are you doing in the dorm tonight? Do you want to have dinner together?" Raiden Mei tugged at Chen Luo's sleeve weakly, hiding behind him as if she couldn't stand the bright light.

“…I’m here in this world to collect my reward,” Chen Luo said.

After accepting the mission from the World Consciousness, Chen Luo greeted Mebius and then traveled from the previous civilization to the present civilization.

Honestly, constantly jumping between different times in the same world feels quite strange, but the rewards are really high.

With the official permission of the world consciousness, Chen Luo exploited a loophole and successfully obtained the reward that would have been given upon completion of the mission, even before the mission was finished.

The box that Chen Luo opened now is a reward from the world's consciousness.

The reason for opening it in the Honkai Impact 3rd world instead of in a bar is that if something goes wrong, you can ask the world's consciousness for help or even return it.

After the light faded, Chen Luo could clearly see what was inside the box.

First, a leaf...

"Why are there leaves again? It's one thing for Su to use leaves to store world coordinates, but why is world consciousness also using leaves to store coordinates?" Chen Luo asked, puzzled.

"So, shall we ask you to explore these world coordinates yourself, or shall we have Su explore them?"

"Of course, we'll use a user-friendly plugin to analyze the coordinates, then take away the interesting world coordinates and leave the less interesting ones for Su."

And if nothing unexpected happens, most of these worlds will be quite boring.

However, the World Consciousness says that many of these world coordinates are world bubbles, and they were even separated from the original world of Honkai Impact 3. So Chen Luo can go and explore; he might encounter something interesting.

"So since it's for Su's use, wouldn't it be reasonable to use a shape familiar to Su to store the world coordinates?"

"Makes sense."

"These stars are so dazzling." After the bright light disappeared, Raiden Mei, who emerged from behind Chen Luo, said, looking at the shining stars displayed in the box.

"This thing is so interesting! Can you give me one? I want to use it as a lamp in my room, that way I can save on the electricity bill," Kiana asked.

"What a convenient way to save on electricity bills, Kiana. I'm pleased that you're so considerate of the family, but could you consider the cost?" Chen Luo rolled his eyes at Kiana.

Is this thing very expensive?

“It’s not a matter of whether it’s expensive or not, it’s… dear Kiana, even if I sold you, I still couldn’t afford this one star.” Chen Luo pinched Kiana’s cheek.

"I do not believe."

"Believe it or not. Each of these stars is far more precious than your Herrscher of the Void core," Chen Luo said, looking at the neatly arranged stars in the box.

In fact, Chen Luo had also considered using the Root Aura and World Consciousness to directly purchase Herrscher Cores or other tangible items.

However, World Consciousness says that it never engages in transactions involving physical items.

Low-end businesses sell products, while high-end businesses sell concepts, and the concept of "world consciousness" here refers to a real concept.

It just so happens that Chen Luo doesn't need high-end items, and the things he does need, World Consciousness, can't be sold, so Chen Luo has to give up on this wonderful idea.

The box placed in front of Chen Luo was a box from another dimension. It didn't look big, but the contents inside had been compressed proportionally.

Inside the box, besides the world coordinates, there were two other things.

One type is a star, emitting a yellow light that looks just like the stars in children's picture books, and it is called a Fallen Star.

There are about 20.

Twenty fallen stars are worth one share of the World Source.

The value of the Fallen Star to the World Tree lies in replenishing its energy. Although the energy in Chen Luo's world is sufficient, it is not of a high enough grade. The Fallen Star can compensate for this deficiency and accelerate the growth of the World Tree.

The remaining items are 4 bottles of powder.

"Is it powdered sugar? Is it edible?" Kiana asked, biting her thumb.

"These are ashes."

"..." Kiana hid behind Raiden Mei with a look of disgust.

"Don't scare Kiana." Raiden Mei patted Kiana's head.

"Okay, this is bone meal. But rationally speaking, it's also bone ash. I don't know exactly what kind of creature's bone meal it is, but it can accelerate the growth of any wood-type plant, and it's what I use to cultivate the World Tree."

"The World Tree? Is that the World Tree you mentioned, the one that can be used to save the previous civilization?" Bronya asked.

"Ah."

These two items are the precious tools for cultivating the World Tree.

In comparison, bone meal is more expensive; four bottles of bone meal are worth two shares of World Source.

"Just a heads-up, the fallen star will disappear if it's exposed to sunlight. That's why I recommended collecting your reward at night."

"Huh? But the planet where I planted the World Tree is bathed in sunlight."

"It's alright. As long as it's kept out of direct sunlight for a short time, and then immediately hung on the World Tree, it'll be fine once it gets exposed to sunlight again. As for the bone meal, just pour it directly into the soil where the World Tree is planted. Also, using special soil to plant the World Tree will make it grow faster. I used to have a modified version of the Breath Soil, but I sold it."

"The combination of 'breathing soil' and bone meal yields the best results."

"You talk as if I have it."

"Well, there's nothing we can do about it then. At worst, it'll just be a bit slower; it'll be fine."

"Can I return the bone powder and the fallen star to you in exchange for the Breath Soil? You can still have the three World Tree dolls."

"Although the prices of Breath Soil and Bone Meal are almost the same, exchanging two for one would indeed be a profit for me. However, I have no use for these things, and I can't sell them, so why should I recycle them? Besides, if you only want Breath Soil, its effect on the World Tree's growth is not as great as the combined effect of Fallen Star and Bone Meal. The only use of Breath Soil is that it can absorb anything, and after absorbing it, it can be turned into nutrients to nourish the World Tree."

“But I can do this.” Chen Luo picked up all the fallen stars and bone powder he had received and threw them into the River of Time beside him.

Then Chen Luo possessed three Fallen Stars and Bone Powder.

“However, if we really want to do business this way, we might have to wait until my River God abilities reach SSS level. What do you think?” Chen Luo said, looking at the Falling Star and Bone Powder, which were all phantoms.

If you can summon something, even a phantom, it means you can summon it in the future.

"Not good at all. You copied what I sold you and then sold it back to me, right? You've got quite the airs of an official, huh? But your derivative talent is definitely a bit cheating. No wonder you're the Spirit of Wishes; you have absolutely no sense of basic principles."

"The Spirit of Wishes?"
