Their commission was suspicious.

“You can remove the ‘I think’ part. Although this form is newly written, I heard that the communication with Interstellar Peace Company was scheduled three days ago.” Xing waved his phone.

This is the latest news I received from Himeko.

"I have a feeling that Bronya and Cocolia will be busy for a long time to come," March 7 said as she watched more and more people gather under the Eternal Winter Monument.

“That’s right, a new task has even been added to the schedule: going to receive the creation engine.” Bronya walked over and joined the conversation.

"Creation Engine? That huge thing?"

“Well, based on my conversation with the members of the Firemoth, I discovered that while they were killing antimatter legions and rift monsters around the world, they found many creation engines, and all of them have been repaired with the help of the Armory Box. The good news is that we can use these giant robots with creation engines to quickly build our home. The bad news is that the Firemoth requires my mother to verify them one by one, and they don't recognize anyone else's right to the creation engines.” Bronya sighed.

Clearly, the Creation Engine was a bait used to distract Cocolia from bothering Chen Luo.

Unfortunately, even knowing this was a trap, Cocolia still obediently walked into it.

Because the Creation Engine is really important to Ariello right now.

This is an open conspiracy!

Perhaps Belloberg will be renamed the City of Preservation and Pioneer in the future.

"Sigh, I always felt that Chen Luo was the one with the true path to pleasure." March 7 was greatly shocked by this.

I still don't know why Chen Luo pretended to die on the spot in front of Cocolia. Was it just for fun?

"But no matter what, Chen Luo has been a great help to Yalilo, both in the upper and lower districts, and to both me and my mother. It's just that my mother is still very angry."

"Are you making a huge scene?"

“No, it’s a more terrifying silence.” Bronya shook her head.

"Hey, what's that?" March 7th pointed to a giant object that was pushed over next to the Eternal Winter Inscription, which was about the same height as the Eternal Winter Inscription but was covered by a black cloth.

"Oh, those were sent by members of the Firemoth."

What's under the black cloth?

"A shield statue."

"Could that guy with the shield be Chen Luo?" March 7th guessed.

“No, there’s only one shield.” Bronya shook her head.

"Sure enough, I can never guess what Chen Luo is up to." March 7th said as she took a picture with her camera.

"Cocolia just agreed to put this statue next to the Eternal Winter Monument? Isn't the Eternal Winter Monument a very important monument in Beloborg?" Xing asked curiously.

“But the statue symbolizing the Guardian Envoy, which represents pulling the entire planet from the brink of destruction to a smooth path, is even more important. It signifies a new beginning, and Chen Luo’s shield deserves to stand shoulder to shoulder with the Eternal Winter Inscription. I just don’t know how Chen Luo restored the entire planet to its original state. Was it really the power of the Guardian Envoy? Or the power of the star core?” Bronya asked, somewhat puzzled.

“I think… probably not either of those. If I remember correctly, when Chen Luo took me to check out the Rift, he seemed to have purified it using the same method, but only a small part of it was purified then. Who knew Chen Luo would be able to create such a huge commotion this time?” Xi’er walked over.

"Iron Guards, line up!" a rough voice rang out.

"Oh, the presentation ceremony is about to begin, I should go." Bronya said goodbye to the train crew and walked towards the Eternal Winter Monument.

"Lord Cocolia Land's speech is about to begin. All citizens, please remain quiet and help maintain order at the scene," the Iron Guard's voice rang out.

"I wonder what exactly Chen Luo wrote in that speech he gave to Cocolia? It must have some profound insights, right?"

“On this bright and sunny day…” Cocolia’s voice rang out.

Chapter 1691 Chen Luo: Cocolia, now you... can't move, right?

"On this sunny day..."

“…Pfft.” March 7th couldn’t help but laugh.

Xing tried to keep a straight face, but she looked like she was about to lose her temper.

Only Danheng appeared calm and composed.

"Hahaha, this opening of the presentation feels so familiar. I wonder why Chen Luo chose this one out of so many options." March 7th laughed rather loudly.

"Because it's fun," Chen Luo said.

"No, I think there's a deeper meaning."

"Do you understand Chen Luo better, or do I?"

"Of course it's me... Hey, Chen Luo, what brings you here? No, how dare you come?" March 7th looked at Chen Luo sitting next to her in surprise.

命运的长椅

A few hours ago, before heading to the mechanical house in Silva, March 7th and the others seemed to have been sitting on this same bench, in the same positions they are in now.

"Why wouldn't I dare to come? Please, I'm the great hero who helped melt the snow and remove the rifts from the entire planet Yalilo." Chen Luo pouted.

"Aren't you afraid Cocolia will kill you with her eyes if you come out now?"

“Of course I’m scared, that’s why I chose to come out now. Look at Cocolia up there, she seems to have noticed me, but she can’t move. This is a very serious occasion. Even if she notices me, can she come down?” Chen Luo sat on the bench, looking at Cocolia, who was giving a speech on the stage set up below the Eternal Winter Monument to his right.

Hehe, can't move now, right?

“You really are… Oh, it seems like everyone who wants to catch you is too busy right now.” March 7th suddenly realized this fact.

Cocolia definitely wants to capture Chen Luo, but she is currently giving a speech. Bronya also wants to capture Chen Luo because Cocolia wants to capture him, but Bronya is standing next to Cocolia, accompanying her during her speech.

"Alright, alright, I've already shown you kindness by not standing in the first row closest to the stage and watching them give their speeches. What do you all think of my idea for this 'edict of self-reproach'?" Chen Luo asked.

“Very good, but it is suspected of plagiarism,” said Dan Heng from Xianzhou.

"Well, let's watch the speech instead," Chen Luo said after a moment's thought.

Cultured people are not easily fooled.

Chen Luo sat on a bench, enjoying the coolness of the long umbrella, watching the people from the upper and lower districts mingling together enthusiastically under the Eternal Winter Monument.

"What a lovely group of people," Chen Luo remarked.

[Because they gave you a five-star commission?]

“That’s right. What else could it be?” Chen Luo said matter-of-factly.

Chen Luo never does a losing business. Generally speaking, working for Cocolia and earning Cocolia's raw stones is definitely not a loss for Chen Luo, but it is indeed somewhat torturous for him.

Just to complete these few commissions, it wouldn't be worth Chen Luo deliberately keeping his inner demon clone by Cocolia's side for so long and having it accompany Cocolia to various places to investigate the situation.

So Chen Luo spent three days experiencing what it's like to be a king—and it turns out that being a king is not a good thing, at least for Chen Luo, because he was busy with official duties and exhausted both physically and mentally. After constantly communicating with the people of the upper district of Belloberg and sharing his experience in troop deployment with the soldiers on the front lines, Chen Luo successfully received a five-star commission!

This five-star request was formed from the prayers of everyone in both the upper and lower tiers.

In the upper area, Chen Luo personally took care of everything, while in the lower area, members of the Moth Chasing Flames taught the infant in the lower area to walk step by step. Based on the feedback from the puppeteers' talents, it's roughly equivalent to Chen Luo also personally taking care of everything.

Five-Star Commission – [The Will to Preserve Never Ends]

There was no bad news about this commission; after all, what bad intentions could a commission worth 3000 ore have?

This commission isn't considered a particularly high-level commission among five-star commissions. The amount of raw materials required is also within the standard range for five-star commissions.

However, the original plan was to establish a base for the Fire Moth in the Starry Sky Railway world, and purifying the entire planet was part of the plan. Now that it has been completed, there are additional commission rewards. Isn't that great?

The scarcity of rough stones is also due to the small population in Belleburg.

The combined population of the upper and lower districts is not large, so it can be said that Belloborg is already the smallest unit that has reached the standard of a complete civilization.

Besides the usual rewards like Primogems, the most surprising and delightful rewards are often the special little items that come with five-star quests—messages in bottles.

"..." Chen Luo fiddled with the glass bottle in his hand.

[Message in a Bottle]: Place it in a place with water, and it will find a destined person for you. (There's a chance it will travel across the world.)

The important part is later.

There is a chance of traveling through different worlds.

Of course, there is one more note.

(There's also a chance you might never be able to find them.)

(There's also a chance the other person won't return the bottle after receiving it.)

"..."

This message in a bottle... it's something else.

The good news is that this message in a bottle cannot be destroyed, and if the sender doesn't return it, you can spend 100 Primogems to summon it back.

"This is a huge gamble! Family!" Chen Luo said with certainty.

"Chen Luo, do you need me to find you a trash can?" March 7th suddenly asked.

"Ok?"

"You've been carrying that glass bottle the whole time, isn't it because you couldn't find a trash can?"

"!!!" For some reason, Xing, who was sitting next to March 7, suddenly became nervous when she heard the word "trash can".

Then she clutched her tiny trash can ornament, about half the size of her palm, tightly, and looked at March 7th with the eyes of someone guarding against a thief.

"...This isn't trash, it's a message in a bottle. You can throw it anywhere there's water, and it will float to the hands of someone you're destined to meet. You can think of it as a random dating app," Chen Luo explained.

"Really? I don't believe it."

"If you don't believe me, there's no way I can prove it to you. After all, I've never used it myself."

"Then... how about giving it a try?"

"Give it a try." Chen Luo nodded, then put the bottle aside, took out a bar's business card, turned it over, and started writing on it.

March 7th watched Chen Luo write on the paper with curiosity, completely ignoring Cocolia who was giving a speech.

Because speeches are so boring, and as outsiders, March 7th and the others simply couldn't empathize.

"Do you want to understand the meaning of life? Do you want to truly live? What does this sentence mean?" March 7th looked on, completely bewildered.

"This is the simplest marketing strategy—to whet people's appetite," Chen Luo said.

At the same time, Chen Luo didn't forget to add three buttons below this sentence: Yes or no?

Yes, there are three buttons.

One word is a button

This business card was made from raw flower stone, and the effect is quite magical. Chen Luo spent 10 raw stones to transform the business card in his hand into a high-end business card, the kind that can hold things inside.

Choosing three different buttons will result in three different gifts.

If you press all three at once... then of course three gifts will appear.

Let me see which unlucky little guy obediently follows the rules and only presses one button.

"I wonder who was so lucky to find this message in a bottle." Chen Luo folded the bar business card in his hand and stuffed it into the bottle.

"Is there anything you want to put in there?" Chen Luo asked.

"Can I put an ice cube in there?" March 7th asked, raising his hand.

"of course can."

After hearing Chen Luo's agreement, March 7th created a piece of six-phase ice and then inserted it precisely into the mouth of the drifting bottle.

"I don't need it, I don't think I have anything to give." Xing looked down at herself, who had nothing of value.

A garbage bag... it probably won't fit, right?

Oh, right, and lofty "morality" too!

And just like that, another item appeared in the message in the bottle.

Danheng remained silent, watching Cocolia give her speech on stage.

It's normal for Danheng not to participate in the activities; among the three members of the train team, Danheng is the only one who doesn't like team building activities.

So when Chen Luo sealed the bottle, all that remained inside was a bar business card, a six-phase ice block that no ordinary person could destroy, and "lofty morality."

"Where are we going to throw this message in a bottle?" March 7th asked.

"Just throw it into the River of Time. As long as this bottle floats, it will work." Chen Luo summoned a small illusory section of the River of Time and then handed the bottle to March 7.

"Throw it out."

"Huh? Oh." March 7th nodded and threw the bottle into the illusory river of time. Then, March 7th watched as the bottle rose and fell on the illusory river of time, eventually drifting away into the distance...

However, because the illusory river of time that Chen Luo created was only half a meter wide, the message in a bottle disappeared instantly after reaching the boundary.

"Where will that message in a bottle drift to?" March 7th asked blankly.
