Their commission was suspicious.

“It could happen anywhere, and there’s even a significant chance it will drift to other worlds,” Chen Luo said.

"It seems quite interesting." March 7th thought this form of transportation was really interesting.

"The presentation is over," Dan Heng suddenly said after remaining silent.

Chen Luo looked towards the stage and his gaze met that of Cocolia, whose eyes were filled with indifference.

Cocolia was about to leave the stage from the side to confront Chen Luo when she saw Chen Luo raising his middle... index finger.

Cocolia looked in the direction Chen Luo pointed and saw a black dot in the sky that was getting bigger and bigger.

Cocolia subconsciously pulled out Chen Luo's schedule.

It clearly stated: After the speech, we will receive representatives from Interstellar Peace Corporation.

Cocolia glanced at Chen Luo, who had already stood up and bowed to say goodbye, and then at the Interstellar Peace Company's spaceship, which had descended to a low altitude of 100 meters and attracted the attention of most residents.

"Chen! Luo!"

Cocolia's plaintive voice sent chills down Bronya's spine as she was about to ask if Cocolia was feeling unwell.

However, prioritizing the overall situation, they prepared to welcome the representatives of Interstellar Peace Corporation.

Chapter 1692 Interstellar Peace Company: Sell me your protective shields, name your price!

Dig a hole, bury some soil, and count them...

[Cross-channeling!]

"What's it to you?" Chen Luo said while carrying a hoe.

Chen Luo has come to fertilize the World Tree.

The growth of the World Tree often requires a large amount of energy. If it were a complete world, there would naturally be no need to worry too much about this aspect.

However, if it is planted privately and someone wants the World Tree to grow very quickly, then it becomes more complicated.

There are several ways to help the World Tree grow, and Chen Luo happened to obtain some of them, including the Breath Soil that he is currently planting.

The soil here is a special kind of modified soil. It has little nutritional value, but as the most compatible type of soil with the World Tree, it can convert any item buried in the soil into the highest level of pure energy that the World Tree can absorb.

Furthermore, the Breath of Earth can be permanently adapted to the World Tree's size, because before it was modified, it could infinitely replicate and proliferate.

Chen Luo did have bone powder and fallen stars that could help the World Tree grow, but he couldn't bear to part with them.

The River God's talent hasn't been unlocked to the SSS level yet. Bone powder and fallen stars are consumables, unlike soil like Breath Soil. Therefore, in order to maximize the use of bone powder and fallen stars, Chen Luo wants to wait until the River God's ability is unlocked to the SSS level before using them.

Before that, let's use the Breath of Earth to cultivate the World Tree.

Since the Breath Soil itself has no nutrients, it can only transform nutrients, so when you want to use the River God's power to replicate the Breath Soil in the future, you can just dig it out again!

After obtaining the Breath Soil and resolving some troublesome matters, Chen Luo placed the Breath Soil under the World Tree, allowing it to envelop the World Tree. What is Chen Luo currently planting next to the World Tree?

"One star core, two star cores..."

These were the 10 star cores obtained from Aha.

The silver and gold ones have been hung in the sky as functional devices for the puppet world, while the main body is intended to be used directly to cultivate the World Tree.

Besides these 10 star cores, there are other things on the Breath of Earth.

For example, golden sunflowers that practically fill an entire golden earth.

Chen Luo never expected that a small piece of the Breath Soil, which could only be contained in a bottle before being unsealed, could instantly cover the entire surface of the Golden Earth and assimilate it into the Breath Soil after being unsealed.

Therefore, after the golden sunflowers that almost fill the entire golden earth grow naturally, the golden sunlight that falls to the ground is transformed into the purest nutrients by the soil to nourish the World Tree.

"The Breath of Earth is truly a wonderful thing," Chen Luo said, wiping away sweat.

If it were just about planting 10 star cores, Chen Luo wouldn't be so tired. But what if there are countless antimatter legions, Gastrea, and even zombies buried next to the World Tree?

The bodies of these monsters were also transformed into pure nutrients, which were given to the World Tree, leaving not a trace of ash behind.

It truly achieved full utilization.

The person who drastically modified this Breath of Earth is simply a genius!

"Ring ring!" Chen Luo's phone rang, and he answered it immediately.

"Chen! Luo!" Cocolia's shout, unable to suppress her feelings of being tricked, came from the other end of the phone.

Chen Luo glanced at the caller ID... it was Natasha's phone.

Natasha did follow Chen Luo's instructions and did not help Cocolia and the others kick down the bar door to lure Chen Luo over, but Natasha did lend out her phone.

Well, this time Chen Luo forgot to remind Natasha.

The most important thing now is to deal with the furious Cocolia.

"Sorry, the number you dialed is currently busy. Please try again later."

"Who are you?" Kokoria asked.

“Mother, this voice message means that Chen Luo is currently on the phone with someone else and therefore cannot answer your call,” Bronya’s voice came from the other end of the line.

"Oh, I see... This thing is quite technologically advanced. I wonder if it can be widely adopted in Belleburg."

“Ms. Cocolia, if your country needs this service, the Interstellar Peace Corporation is willing to serve you and provide assistance free of charge... provided that you let us see the shield that has the qualifications of a Guardian Envoy.”

"...I've said it so many times, the shield isn't in my possession, and can you please stop in such a hurry? You've already said it so many times." Cocolia's voice held a hint of impatience.

“Ahem, I apologize, but perhaps you don’t quite understand how significant a shield that can become a guardian of the token is to the Interstellar Peace Corporation. If you could allow us to meet the holder of this token, we are willing to provide assistance to Yalilo at the most favorable price.”

"What would you do if you met this person?"

"Buy it. Pay for the shield that became the guardian of the order and enshrine it in Pierpont, the headquarters of the Interstellar Peace Corporation," said the representative, who appeared to be from the Interstellar Peace Corporation.

"I don't think he'll sell."

"No, ma'am, you may not be familiar with the financial resources of Interstellar Peace Corporation."

“But I feel like you know him even less… Why does this voice keep looping?” Cocolia asked.

“Mother, he will keep talking if you don’t hang up.”

"..."

The call has ended.

"Smart as I am," Chen Luo said, looking at the phone.

Moreover, it was Cocolia herself who hung up; Chen Luoke did not hang up on Cocolia.

"However, the Interstellar Peace Corporation seems to be quite interested in me..."

To be precise, it's your shield.

The Interstellar Peace Corporation was initially established to provide building materials to the Guardian Star God, Kripper. They worshipped the Guardian Star God with extreme fanaticism.

If it were a guardian envoy, they might not be so eager, but if that envoy is a shield, then it's a different story.

Because people might make all sorts of demands, but a shield won't. And a shield and protection... aren't they a match made in heaven? So they'll probably buy this shield at any cost.

"Then they should think it over carefully. Anyway, it's impossible for them in this lifetime." Chen Luo waved his hand, then picked up the hoe again and started digging.

"If we bury Yvette, which would be more nutritious for the World Tree, burying her or 10 star cores?" Chen Luo asked curiously.

【…My dear master, are you a demon?】

As for whether or not to sell shields, it seems impossible, right?

Firstly, Chen Luo wasn't interested in credit points; he already had enough from the Void Treasury.

Secondly, Chen Luo is not allowed to hold legal tender because of the saying "Don't underestimate a young person's poverty".

Not to mention credit points.

What? Paradise coins? What kind of money is that? It's just a materialized form of soul energy.

Furthermore, Chen Luo has never held any Paradise Gold Coins; the Paradise Gold Coins are all in the group network, and Chen Luo only entrusted them to the Paradise Dolls for safekeeping.

"By the way, if that's the case, could those magic prisms also be buried in the Breath Soil to help the World Tree grow quickly? And what about the Honkai Crystals of the Honkai World and the magic stones of the Strange World..." Chen Luo suddenly realized that he seemed to have a new goal.

That means obtaining more Star Cores, Magic Prisms, Collapse Crystals, and Magic Stones!

"...Sigh, I was only one-fifth away from achieving freedom of faith power, but now I have to struggle for other things." Chen Luo sighed.

"If that's the case, then it seems we can't even let the Holy Grail go. We'll bury it in the ground too!"

There's also Originium.

"Oh, and Originium too."

There were also monster corpses.

"...Remember to say it together next time."

[Even if you don't mind, you can use the bodies of those sinners who deserve to be thrown into the soul fire to suffer, to feed the World Tree, and then throw their souls into the soul lamp. You can do both.]

"..."

Okay, this is just a suggestion. You probably won't agree, but I won't forget to mention it.

"You know I won't agree, yet you still say it?" Chen Luo rolled his eyes.

People should always have some bottom line.

Chen Luo isn't Yuuka Kazami, and he certainly wouldn't bury humans in the soil like fertilizer.

Even Yuuka Kazami might not actually do that.

Unless some entity is extremely reckless.

"Speaking of which, doesn't the world of Akame ga Kill! have Dangerous Species? Let Esdeath, who's planning to move to Gensokyo soon, kill a few hundred or a thousand Dangerous Species first, and let me see how effective the 'Tree Fertilizer' from Dangerous Species is. And what about the Honkai Beasts in the Honkai world..."

"Oh, right, doesn't the Dark Bullet World have those Stage 5 Gastreas like the Zodiac? Have someone chop them up and bring them over to use as fertilizer. Also, look for Scorpio, who was killed a long time ago, to see if there are any remains of his body. Remember to have them preserve the souls of the Stage 5 Gastreas; I'll see if there's any way to create a human body for them," Chen Luo said, carrying a hoe.

Stage 5 Gastrea still possess some intelligence, but only a little.

Chen Luo wasn't going to accept the flesh of a Stage 5 Gastrea as fertilizer for nothing; he would try his best to help.

"With the Breath of Earth, we suddenly have so many more sources of nutrition for the World Tree. This stuff came at just the right time." Chen Luo stroked the World Tree, which was already over a meter tall and reached above his waist.

[By the way, speaking of Esdeath, that minister from the Akame ga Kill! world has been spared from the stake for quite some time now. What happened to him?]

"...Do you think we should drag it to the golden planet and bury it in the ground as fertilizer?"

[Yes. While people should have principles, from your perspective, he's not really a person, right?]

“You’re right, but I refuse! I find it disgusting. The Breath of Earth isn’t a garbage can; you can’t just throw anything into it. Don’t let Ernest drag down the entire Breath of Earth’s prestige.”

Chapter 1693 Little Jiu Buried in the Ground by Chen Luo

"If you're so capable of going out and fooling around, then you're capable of not coming back!" The Herald of Knowledge pointed at Chen Luo.

"???" Chen Luo looked at the Herald of Knowledge with a puzzled expression.

"..."

"..."

"Don't look at me like that... I heard from Ruri that if a guy hasn't been home for a long time, you can point your finger at him and ask where he's been gallivanting. If he seems guilty, then it means he really has been gallivanting." The Herrscher of Knowledge said somewhat guiltily.

"His name is Liu Liang, why are you calling him Liu Li too?"

"Because you keep shouting."

"Did Liuli tell you what would happen if a boy didn't act guilty?" Chen Luo asked, hands on his hips.

"No..." The Herald of Knowledge shook his head.

"Do you want to come here by yourself, or should I drag you here?" Chen Luo sat on the sofa and pointed to his thigh.

"I'll come over myself..." The Herrscher of Knowledge pouted and walked to the sofa where Chen Luo was, then lay down on Chen Luo's lap.

"Snapped!"

"If you don't discipline someone for three days, they'll be climbing on the roof and tearing off the tiles!" Chen Luo slapped Xiao Shi on the butt.

"How can you blame me? Isn't it because you won't take me out to play?"

"How can you blame me? Is it because I didn't want to take you out? Isn't it because you're addicted to games?" Chen Luo was surprised by the Herrscher of Knowledge's stubbornness.

"If I'm addicted to games, why don't you just unplug my internet cable and take me out to play? What kind of attitude is this? You clearly don't want to take me out to play, but you're making excuses!" Xiao Shi sneered.
