Their commission was suspicious.

"..."

Do you want to listen to what you're saying?

[Perhaps it's because he spent the entire morning and noon playing games, and after realizing he had wasted his time, he felt he shouldn't have done that, so he regretted it?]

This kind of thinking often happens when you have nothing to do.

For example, if you finally get a Sunday off, but end up spending the whole day reading novels or playing games at home, you'll regret it when you go to work or school the next day. Why didn't I go hiking or traveling on Sunday to relax?

But in fact, if I had actually chosen to go hiking and traveling yesterday, I might regret it even more now, just like the current Herald of Knowledge.

"Chen Luo, why did you unplug my internet cable?" The Herrscher of Knowledge was shocked when she saw that her glasses showed no signal.

"Because I think you're right. If you don't want to go out, it might really be my fault. I should have just unplugged your internet cable and taken you outside for a walk." Chen Luo rarely admitted his mistake. He then put the Herrscher of Knowledge aside, stood up, grabbed the Herrscher of Knowledge by the collar, and walked towards the bar door that had just opened.

"Hey, what are you planning to do?"

"I'll take you sightseeing in another world and find you some work to do."

"No! I want to play games at home!"

"Heh." Chen Luo didn't say anything to the Herrscher of Knowledge's cries, but instead dragged her into the bar as if nothing had happened.

th.

I'm tired, I don't love anymore.

Of course, Chen Luo wasn't entirely convinced of his rights.

After all, although Chen Luo believed that he hadn't gone out to fool around, he didn't know if others would believe him.

After Chen Luo shrunk the Herrscher of Knowledge from its normal human form to the size of a doll, he held the Herrscher of Knowledge in his arms and walked into the bar.

The Herrscher of Knowledge still looks sullen, but because he has become a three-headed figure, he looks quite cute.

It turns out that if you're too weak, even when you're angry, you can still be seen as cute.

Take Xiaoshi for example.

Looking at Xiao Shi, who was now being angrily rubbed on the head, Chen Luo felt no remorse whatsoever, nor did he need to feel any remorse.

As for what he's going to do, that's not important. Once he's inside the bar, he'll definitely find something to talk to Chen Luo about.

"Chen Luo!"

As expected, Chen Luo and the Herrscher of Knowledge had just arrived at the bar when they encountered something that was being pushed towards Chen Luo's face.

"Xiao Jiu? Is something the matter?"

"The method I want, the method to reach the Dimensional Sea," Xiao Jiu said, waving her hands excitedly.

"During class today, I was fighting zombies with Haruhi Suzumiya's group, and we ended up talking about this while setting up bait. Haruhi said that she had obtained the method for me to get to the Dimensional Sea and handed it over to you. Why didn't you tell me?" Xiao Jiu put her hands on her hips.

“You’re still a child, so of course you should focus on your studies. When I obtained this memory from Haruhi Suzumiya and made it into a light cone, you were still in class,” Chen Luo said.

However, even Xiao Jiu couldn't believe this reason... mainly because Chen Luo had forgotten.

What could Chen Luo do? The matter of Cocolia and the Star Core had already consumed most of Chen Luo's energy.

"You don't care about me at all! You scumbag! Ugh!"

"Alright, I'm not even in a hurry to get the commission after I accepted your commission, so why are you in such a rush?" Chen Luo rolled his eyes at Xiao Jiu.

I know you're in a hurry, but take it easy.

I'm not in a hurry for the raw stones, so why are you in such a hurry for the quest items?

"How can this be the same? The quest item I need is only available to you, while the raw gems you need can be found everywhere!"

Chen Luo is like a playboy, casting a wide net and never worrying about not having any commissions.

"I'm just one of many to you, but you're everything to me." Xiao Jiu looked at Chen Luo pitifully.

Xiao Jiu's constantly waving hands also proved her longing for that light cone.

Xiao Shi broke free from Chen Luo's embrace, jumped onto Xiao Jiu's head, and tapped her.

You want to steal my man? Dream on!

"Bang!" A very crisp sound.

"Great sound! A good sound is a great sound!"

"Were you knocking over a watermelon?" Xiao Jiu yanked Xiao Shi off her head and threw her back to Chen Luo.

After accepting Xiao Shi's payment upon delivery, Chen Luo handed the light cone to Xiao Jiu.

After obtaining the light cone she had been dreaming of, Xiao Jiu was overjoyed and probed the light cone with her spiritual power.

But when she saw the first method, Xiao Jiu's smile froze on her face.

No, you and Chen Luo are no longer together?

Why do we need to find Chen Luo to get the way to the Dimensional Sea? Now that we've got the way, we find that we still need Chen Luo to get to the Dimensional Sea.

Is this never going to end?

Xiao Jiu raised her head and looked at Chen Luo again.

"Um... I have a favor to ask."

"If it's an unreasonable request, then don't say it," Chen Luo said coldly.

"No, I want it!"

[Ding! You have a new request!]

【Journey to the Dimensional Sea】: Take Xiao Jiu to the Dimensional Sea.

Rewards: 1001 Primogems + 30 Xiao Jiu's Favorability + Random Rewards

Difficulty: Four stars

"Sigh." Chen Luo sighed.

"Have you received a commission?" Xiao Jiu asked cautiously.

After all, this is related to whether Xiao Jiu can go to the Dimensional Sea.

"You already know, why are you asking?"

"Sigh, so Chen Luo, why were you being so stubborn? You should have just accepted the commission, wouldn't you have been better off?"

"That's as if I'm obligated to fulfill your request."

“Of course not, since I haven’t given you anything yet, so you can refuse this request. But what if I said I’m willing to pay extra?” Xiao Jiu asked.

Xiao Jiu didn't take Chen Luo's completion of the commission for granted, even though she knew Chen Luo would obtain a universal item called the Primal Stone.

But wouldn't it be better if I paid more? Who can resist the temptation of paying more?

What can you offer?

"That depends on what you want." Xiao Jiu crossed her arms, looking incredibly arrogant.

"Among the three stages, my strength is the weakest, but I am also the richest. Oh no, the richest is actually the adult body, but what she keeps there is just some River of Time, which is not much more valuable to you than milk tea." Xiao Jiu was still a little depressed when she said this.

Of course, there was also some schadenfreude.

Although Xiao Jiu's childhood, teenage, and adult forms cannot possibly be in a love-hate relationship, it is inevitable that they will entertain each other.

Xiao Jiu now feels that the adult form is just like a gambler who wakes up to find that the Bitcoin he saved by selling his house has suddenly dropped to one cent per coin.

Xiao Jiu wanted to laugh just imagining that scene.

The value of the River of Time itself remains unchanged; it is still precious. However, the method of obtaining it has changed.

Instead of spending half a day collecting from the River of Time yourself, you might as well just beg Chen Luo or go directly to the simulated universe to kill a few monsters, then exchange some Paradise Coins for Chen Luo to buy.

However, for such high-priced items, the price is never uniform; it depends mainly on Chen Luo's mood.

"What do you have?" Chen Luo asked curiously.

“There’s too much stuff. The trash that the teenagers and adults don’t want is all thrown into my storage ring, making it look like a trash can. But each stage’s storage ring can be freely used by oneself, so take a look for yourself.” Xiao Jiu took off her ring and handed it to Chen Luo.

Xiao Jiu was so at ease with Chen Luo because she knew he wasn't interested in ordinary things, and what was precious to him was something she probably wouldn't need.

For example, the large amount of faith power stored in the ring. The reason for not making a price first and then discussing other things was because Xiao Jiu trusted Chen Luo's character.

However, there's a technique to it; it's not that Chen Luo doesn't want anything.

For example, in a boys' dormitory, if you put a stack of hundred-yuan bills on the table, no one will touch it. But if you put an opened bag of spicy snacks or toilet paper on the table, it might be gone in the time it takes to go to the toilet.

Xiao Jiu saw Chen Luo carefully selecting items from his storage ring, finally choosing a cluster of faith power.

"You said you could take whatever you wanted, right?" Chen Luo asked again to confirm.

"Yes."

“That’s it.” Chen Luo said, holding the storage ring in one hand and the power of faith in the other.

"Deal." Xiao Jiu readily gave a thumbs up.

Although Chen Luo held a large ball of faith power in his hand, now that there was a ticket to the Dimensional Sea that only charged faith power, it was incredibly cheap for Xiao Jiu.

"Here you go." Chen Luo put the storage ring on his hand, patted Xiao Jiu's hair, and stuffed the ball of faith power into Xiao Jiu's arms.

"..." Xiao Jiu stared blankly at the ball of faith power in her hand.

Wait, what happened?

"You're wrong, aren't you? Shouldn't you give the ring back to me?"

“You said I could choose whatever I wanted, so I’ll choose everything except the ball of faith power in your hand,” Chen Luo said.

Because there was still a ball of faith power in the ring that Chen Luo could use.

"!!!"

This is terrible, this is really terrible! It's not just terriblely cheap, it's terriblely expensive!

Why aren't you playing by the rules?!

"Wah!" Little Jiu burst into tears.

"...Oh, you're done for! You made the kid cry!" Xiao Shi, whose internet connection had been cut off and who couldn't play games at all, and whose body had been turned into a three-headed figure by Chen Luo, said gloatingly.

"But why did you ask for so much today?" Xiao Shi asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Because this morning, I obtained something called 'Breath Soil' from the world consciousness of the Haruhi Suzumiya world. It can be used to nourish the World Tree, and I plan to use it as fertilizer." Chen Luo took off his storage ring and waved it in front of Xiao Jiu as he spoke.

"Okay, stop faking your tears."

"Who, who said that someone... was faking their crying?" Xiao Jiu said sadly.

"Hilarious! Do you think I don't know if a kid is faking it? It's not like I haven't seen Xiao Shi cry before."

"..." Xiao Shi, who was standing about 40cm tall on the bar table, tilted his head.

There seems to be nothing wrong, but it also feels like I've been slandered.

"Hmph, I gave you the ring to choose from, and you actually wanted to use it as fertilizer? You've let me down!" Xiao Jiu said, pointing at Chen Luo.

"Didn't you tell me to pick whatever I wanted?"

"I... Hmph!"

Xiao Jiu initially thought that if she were to pay Chen Luo, she would feel embarrassed to take too little, while if she let Chen Luo choose his own payment, he would likely feel embarrassed to take too much.

When Chen Luo takes less money, Xiao Jiu will generously give him more.

Although the final amount given should be roughly the same, the difference can be significant.

But clearly, Xiao Jiu's idea has now failed.

“If you want your ring back, that’s not impossible. I can help you go to the Dimensional Sea, but you have to do an experiment for me,” Chen Luo said.

"can."

"Aren't you going to ask what kind of experiment it is?"

"That's not important!"

Just kidding. What kind of grand scenes haven't I, the Nine Heavens Emperor, seen? Do you think I'd be afraid of your mere experiment?

……

Xiao Jiu had never seen anything like this before.
