Their commission was suspicious.

Then, use the "head pat" ability to purify the planet riddled with holes from the star core's erosion, leading to a perfect ending.

But Aha disagreed.

In fact, after Chen Luo revived Cocolia amidst everyone's astonished gazes, Chen Luo had fulfilled Aha's request to watch a good show.

But before Chen Luo could react, Aha sent him another commission, a four-star commission...

Just now, Chen Luo completed a whole bunch of commissions, including but not limited to clearing the star orbit blockage caused by the star core, clearing the rift, making Cocolia pay the price, and Aha wanting to see a good show, etc.

But who can refuse a four-star commission?

That's 1000 raw gems!

Moreover, Chen Luo felt that he had played a joke on Cocolia, then helped her revive, helped her achieve a mother-daughter ending, and even helped her purify the entire planet. Shouldn't the reward be sufficient...?

"Don't say that, my friend. Oh, by the way, take out the mask I gave you, I'll enchant it for you... In your terms, that's how you'd say it, right?"

"What are you going to do?" Chen Luo looked at Aha suspiciously, then took out the Fool's Mask.

Aha simply wiped the mask and then returned it to Chen Luo.

"Congratulations, you now have your second messenger, the Messenger of Pleasure—The Mask of the Fool." Aha laughed heartily.

"...I suspect you're mocking me."

Chen Luo suspected that Aha was watching him make fun of him, mocking the fact that Chen Luo pulled out the shield but the shield itself became the envoy, not Chen Luo.

But... having a mask that makes you a messenger is really cool.

【The Fool's Mask】: A mask infused with a portion of the power of the Pleasure God Aha. Whether Aha's intention was to mock or simply enjoy the spectacle, this mask undoubtedly became the true messenger of pleasure.

Effects include, but are not limited to, disguising oneself, stealth, deceiving the Star God, etc.

“From now on, when you use this mask, you can transform into anyone. Of course, there are some uninteresting little functions inside, which you can explore on your own,” Aha said.

"..."

You're telling me that deceiving the Star God is a useless little function?

He really is a funny person!

"So this is the mysterious reward you were talking about?" Chen Luo shook the mask in his hand.

Chen Luo admitted that the mask was indeed quite interesting, but if he wanted to, he could also achieve a similar effect; it was merely a matter of changing its form.

“Of course not. This is just a small… tip. You’re a puppeteer, right? Do you have any unfinished puppets?” Aha asked.

"Yes, I do. What are you doing?"

"I've prepared a mystery gift for you. I'll trade you 10 star cores," Haha said.

"Where did you get so many star cores?" Chen Luo asked, somewhat surprised.

"Of course, I collected them for you because I saw you were interested," Aha said.

Aha was initially uninterested in the star core, but he discovered that Chen Luo was very interested in it.

For a Star God, taking away a few Star Cores is as simple as taking away a few ants from an anthill.

"..."

Chen Luo was unaware of how many worlds' destinies he had altered, but at least it was a good thing.

A star core is a deadly poison to any world, but to the Star God, it's not even a plaything.

The Annihilation Lord, a subordinate of the Star God Nanuk, might be interested in the Destruction Immortal Ship, but Nanuk himself never cared.

Lord, I don't care.

Chen Luo felt that he should be considered to have done a good deed, since he had taken away the star cores of several planets, and among these planets there might be those that had just suffered a star core invasion and were in a state of despair.

Ultimately, Chen Luo agreed to the deal, exchanging a half-finished doll for 10 star cores from Aha.

Regardless of how credible it is that Aha said he would use this puppet to prepare a mysterious reward for Chen Luo, the 10 star cores alone are enough to exchange for a puppet. After all, this puppet is not made from a branch of the World Tree and is not that expensive.

Although Aha enjoys watching others have fun, he is still very generous.

This star god is actually quite nice.

"Goodbye."

"Goodbye."

After watching Aha leave the bar and disappear into the starry sky, Chen Luo slammed the door shut and then reconnected the gray list that had been interrupted for 5 seconds.

"Within today, no, within the next two days, put everyone on the planet Yalilo in the Starry Sky Railway world on the gray list and prevent them from entering the bar!"

This is the decision Chen Luo made right after returning to the bar!

Come out here! Come out here! You've got the nerve to deceive other people's feelings, so come out here!

"Shut up."

"okay."

However, this does not mean that Arilo has completely lost contact with the Honkai Starry Sky Railway world. Although they cannot open the bar, they can still summon the bar door.

Furthermore, Chen Luo can also use teleportation anchors to go to their world.

The gray list and the black list are different. Those on the gray list can summon the bar door but cannot enter the bar, while those on the black list cannot even summon the door.

The difference is that those on the gray list can still use bar doors as shields.

Furthermore, Chen Luo can see the visit records of people who have been added to the gray list.

In just the last two minutes, the bar was visited at least 128 times.

It visits once per second on average.

Chen Luo felt a chill run down his spine.

Who the hell would dare open this door?

Oh, so Himeko and the others must know why Chen Luo blocked them?

However, some people might not know this, so it would be good to inform them, for example...

“That’s strange. I was wondering why I couldn’t open the bar door after it was summoned. Turns out there was some technical problem,” Natasha said, looking at Chen Luo in front of her.

"Actually, it's not entirely a technical problem, because there's a lot of personal involvement involved. In short, the passage between the upper and lower zones has been opened, the star core has been sealed, the rift has been suppressed, the blockade order is about to be lifted, and even the cold wave caused by the star core has been successfully dispelled." Chen Luo reported the latest news about the planet to Natasha.

“The lower districts can also glean some clues from this intelligence, because the temperature is rising, and we just received good news from the people of the Earth Fire that the rift erosion is gradually receding,” Natasha said, holding her phone.

"In short, everything is moving in a positive direction," Chen Luo said.

“With you here, I believe all problems can be solved, but I didn’t expect them to be solved so thoroughly. Although I don’t know exactly what happened, you must have worked hard.” Natasha smiled at Chen Luo.

"It really took a lot of hard work for me. It's even put my life in some danger now." Chen Luo touched his forehead.

"What happened that's life-threatening? Is there anything I can help you with?" Natasha asked with concern.

"It's nothing, time heals all wounds... probably. Anyway, the bar might not be able to operate normally in your world for a while. If you really need to find me, just summon the bar door and kick it like crazy, and I'll get a notification," Chen Luo said.

"Okay, I understand."

"Remember this: only do this in extremely urgent situations, and don't come to me for anyone other than yourself, absolutely not!" Chen Luo earnestly warned.

"Oh."

"Especially avoid Bronya, Seele, Star, March 7th, and Danheng."

"...So, what exactly happened?" Natasha found it increasingly strange.

"It's nothing, just a small misunderstanding. Time will heal everything."

"...Alright, let's assume you're telling the truth. But aren't you going to come and see what happens next? The passage between the lower and upper levels was just completely opened up. And according to you, after the world returned to peace, the blockade was lifted. At a time like this, shouldn't you, the one who contributed the most, witness it?"

"I'm not going. What if I die in the upper area?" Chen Luo shook his head.

"Oh, right, speaking of which, here, this is for you." Chen Luo handed a capsule to Natasha.

"what is this?"

"This is the same type of super energy center as the one in the lower zone, but slightly more powerful. Now that the snowstorm in the upper zone has subsided, the next step is to reclaim lost territory, so they definitely need more energy. If someone named Cocolia comes along later, give this to her. Also, whatever you do, don't mention my name in front of Cocolia. Otherwise, she might smash this capsule beforehand."

"If this capsule is subjected to excessive pressure or impact, it will release its contents. That super energy center is quite large," Chen Luo warned.

“Cocolia? The Great Guardian?” Natasha’s eyes widened slightly.

"So what exactly did you do to provoke the Great Guardian?"

"No, it's nothing. It was just a little misunderstanding that happened during our conversation," Chen Luo said apologetically.

Chapter 1689 Chen Luo: Iron Guard, are you listening to me or Cocolia?

"This is just a tiny misunderstanding?" Natasha thought to herself, looking at the woman in front of her who was wearing a hood to conceal her figure but had an extremely angry expression.

Natasha was genuinely surprised that the High Warden had come to the Lower Realms, especially at this particular juncture.

Cocolia concealed her figure to avoid causing a disturbance in the lower districts.

Given Cocolia's "prestige" in the lower districts, she was practically a pariah, if not universally hated.

After all, the lockdown order was issued by Cocolia alone.

However, the reputation that is considered hateful in the lower strata of Cocolia may change a little after today.

Although they suffered from food and clothing shortages for more than a decade, the result was that the entire planet was purified. They no longer had to stay underground due to the pressures of life and could freely travel and work on the upper levels, even joining pioneering groups to expand their homes.

Although this achievement actually had little to do with Cocolia, it was enough to transform her from someone with mixed reputation to a hero of the ages.

After all, it was during Cocolia's tenure as the Great Guardian that humanity defeated the Rift and the monsters, triumphed over the blizzard, and reclaimed their homeland.

Cocolia looked at the capsule in her hand, her heart filled with mixed emotions.

“Chen… the person who gave me this capsule said that if it is subjected to excessive pressure or impact, it will release its contents. So you need to control your emotions. Otherwise, moving the super-large energy center inside will be very troublesome,” Natasha warned.

As for how Natasha felt about Cocolia, who had issued the lockdown order and prevented her from seeing her parents for many years, Natasha couldn't really describe it. She was even somewhat dissatisfied. However, Natasha also knew that neither the Upper nor Lower Districts could allow anything to happen to the Great Guardian.

Of course, it doesn't matter who the Great Guardian is.

Now that the entire Yalilo 6 has been unsealed, there are vast tracts of land waiting to be explored. Although the cold wave has subsided and the Rift has been suppressed to the extreme, the wandering monsters will not be eliminated immediately.

Therefore, for the safety of the people, it is necessary to eliminate those rift monsters as soon as possible, and the antimatter legions frozen in the ice also need to be thawed and destroyed one by one. Otherwise, as the climate warms up completely, the antimatter legions will shrink in a short time.

Therefore, a qualified leader is indispensable.

The good news is that, according to Himeko's monitoring, the entire Arilo region was already teeming with members of the Fire Moth from who-knows-where, who were frantically fighting monsters... In fact, this had been going on for several days.

Looking at the only "relic" left by Chen Luo, Cocolia really wanted to crush this broken capsule!

"Bronya, don't you feel like your mother is in a very irritable mood?" March 7th asked in a low voice.

"No wonder I'm so irritable. I'd be irritable too. In fact, I'm already in a very irritable mood right now." Xing looked around, carrying his golden baseball bat.

See if you can spot Chen Luo around here, then give him a good thrashing.

Even Xing, who was only deceived for half an hour, is in such a bad mood now. If you put yourself in her shoes, you can understand how Cocolia is feeling right now.

Cocolia is now so angry she wants to kill someone!

Otherwise, they wouldn't have rushed to the lower level!

"Let's go back to the upper district. And please have the Earthfire Organization in the lower district invite the people from the lower district to come to the foot of the Eternal Winter Monument to watch the sermon before 2 PM." After saying this, Cocolia held the capsule and walked towards the hearth that connects the upper and lower districts.

……

"Wanted? No, it's a bounty? A bounty on Sage/Chen Luo, dead or alive, 1 Winter City Shields for providing clues, 10 for direct capture? Uh, Sage, are you serious?" Inside the High Guardian's office, a Iron Guard looked at the Sage sitting in the High Guardian's seat with a bewildered expression.

Is this how you issue your own bounty?

Are you sick?

Iron Guards, on the contrary, did not find it strange that Chen Luo was sitting in the position of Grand Guardian; this was quite common in Kripper Castle.

"What are you looking at? Just go and post it now. Of course, this bounty will take effect after 2 PM, and it's only noon now. No exploiting bugs." Chen Luo said.

"Oh." Tie Wei scratched his head, then took the wanted poster and walked outside.

The sage is known for his approachability, so Iron Guard was just wondering if he could take a reward now that he had seen the sage.

But since it says after 2 o'clock, then... wait until after 2 o'clock to report it!

But what on earth could have driven Mr. Sage to write a bounty on himself?

"Iron Guard".
