Their commission was suspicious.

Success or failure hinges on this moment.

If feasible, Chen Luo wouldn't mind raising a large group of mimics and then getting free Primogems every day!

The little treasure chest monster shut its mouth after Chen Luo put away the Paradise Coins, and then Chen Luo easily opened it.

In fact, the mimic's mouth is quite easy to open at first, but whether it will be swallowed whole after it's opened is another matter.

If the mimic's mouth isn't easy to open at the beginning, how will it manage to burst into the adventurer's face?

[Rough Stone +1]

"..."

Listening to the sounds around him and looking at the mimic that was biting his hand and refusing to let go, Chen Luo fell into deep thought.

Mimics are actually quite difficult to obtain in the Dimensional Sea, and because they can be used to scam other players, they are very expensive.

If a mimic could drop 10 Primogems, Chen Luo would grit his teeth and buy it, but one Primogem really wasn't worth the trouble for him to go through all the trouble of buying mimics from across the Dimensional Ocean.

There were some pleasant surprises, but not many.

"Forget it, I won't buy any more. I'm almost out of Paradise Coins." Chen Luo glanced at his Paradise Coin reserves in the group network and then gave up.

Chen Luo had previously calculated that if Paradise Coins were copied using the River God's ability, the ratio would be approximately 1:2:4.

Furthermore, since Paradise Coins are just an appearance, Golden Experience can also be made to look like Paradise Coins.

This means that for every 10 Paradise Coins the dolls obtain, the dolls themselves get 5, the group network stores 5 as backup hidden energy, and Chen Luo gets 60 event funds!

Honestly, this can't be explained by the water meter running backwards.

"The gains are great, but the costs are also great," Chen Luo sighed.

Chen Luo wouldn't dare say that he used all the Paradise Coins he obtained from the dolls on the dolls, but he dared to say that what he did with the Paradise Coins was definitely helpful to the dolls.

For example, cultivating the World Tree.

"It's time to try increasing revenue and reducing costs. There's not much to say about reducing costs; I won't waste money. As for increasing revenue..."

Chen Luo is currently devising an extremely amazing plan!

That's the weapon humanization project!

Chen Luo wants to increase profits, for example in the DanMachi world... But Chen Luo doesn't need to turn all the adventurers in the DanMachi world into puppets, he can just turn all their weapons into puppets, right?

While there are indeed people who prefer to fight bare-handed, in most cases, weapons are used to kill monsters.

Since the weapon is a puppet, the monsters killed by the puppet will give you experience!

The method is quite simple; it's the same as the method used in the miniature garden—when using the river god's power to "enhance" their weapons, just casually slap on a doll's mark.

To encourage these people to use weapons more actively to kill monsters, Chen Luo could give them about 20% of the Paradise Coins, depending on the situation.

Although they wouldn't notice even if they weren't given any Paradise coins, Chen Luo felt a little embarrassed.

This can also motivate them.

Alright, you can use your charm ability now.

Chen Luo subconsciously looked at the mimic sitting on his lap.

The reason the user-friendly plugin gives this reminder is because... every coin the Mimic eats isn't free!

Isn't that how treasure chests are used?

Seduce the other person and then receive a reward.

Yukari Yakumo and the others don't have the ability to charm, but Chen Luo does; Chen Luo is a [Succubus].

Feeding the little treasure chest monster a large amount of gold coins in advance is naturally to increase its favorability and increase the success rate of charm.

[Allure.]

Great success!

This great success caught Chen Luo somewhat off guard.

Because of your kindness in feeding it, the little treasure chest monster believes you are its destined one. For you, it has made a decision that goes against its ancestors!

"???"

Are you ready to head to the Mimic's Vault?

"Wait, what? Where are we going?" Chen Luo was taken aback.

Chapter 1799 Puppet Master: You are the worst class of students I've ever taught!

"Treasure chest monster's treasure vault?" Chen Luo was stunned when he heard this word.

Mimics share a common treasure vault; this is a fundamental aspect of their lore, a fact that Chen Luo, having thoroughly studied the Dimensional Sea Travel Guide, naturally knew.

Furthermore, Chen Luo also knew that the advancement of a mimic was linked to how many treasures it provided to the mimic's chest.

That treasure vault seemed to be synonymous with wealth, and the treasure chest monsters that increased the wealth of this vault naturally received the blessing of wealth.

The little treasure chest monster eats coins every day, which is how it increases the wealth of this treasure trove.

Chen Luo had also tried to go to this treasure vault, and even poisoned the gold coins that the little treasure chest monster ate every day—attaching teleportation anchors to a few of the Paradise Gold Coins.

However, to Chen Luo's disappointment, this method did not work.

It's not that the treasure vault is so powerful that even teleportation anchors can't infiltrate it, but rather that the treasure vault seems to have a built-in identification function, and anything that tries to steal the treasures in the vault will be instantly and randomly teleported into the dimensional sea.

This is a highly advanced and high-priority reconnaissance method.

Chen Luo did not doubt that the teleportation anchor could help him infiltrate the treasure vault, provided that the teleportation anchor could enter the treasure vault.

But now, it seems that an opportunity has arisen.

Because the little treasure chest monster's charm was so successful, it made a decision that went against its ancestors.

Moreover, it seemed that Chen Luo was not allowed to refuse.

The evidence is that the little treasure chest monster with its mouth wide open is trying to swallow Chen Luo.

However, since they couldn't hurt each other in the bar, even though the little mimic swallowed Chen Luo so much that his mouth was stretched open and half of his body was inside the mimic, Chen Luo was still not teleported away.

"Wangcai, stay here and behave. Don't move around, especially don't leave the bar. I'll be right back." After saying that, Chen Luo gave up resisting and was swallowed whole by the little treasure chest monster.

After swallowing Chen Luo, the little treasure chest monster shrank back to the size of a palm and obediently stayed at the entrance of the bar without moving.

Xiao Tingyun was left alone, staring blankly at Chen Luo who had been swallowed by the little treasure chest monster.

What happened?

After the restriction on mutual harm was lifted, Chen Luo, who had been swallowed by the little treasure chest monster, felt a dizzying sensation...

What kind of garbage delivery is this?

Bad review!

The smoothest and most harmless teleportation Chen Luo had ever experienced in his life was teleportation through teleportation anchor points.

The other teleportation methods were all rather disappointing.

This is precisely why the little treasure chest monster couldn't teleport Chen Luo before the bar's mutual harm restriction was lifted, because causing someone to suffer so much is itself a form of harm.

But when Chen Luo regained consciousness, he was almost blinded by the golden light in front of him.

From Chen Luo's position, pulling the camera upwards reveals a golden expanse.

Chen Luo felt as lost and helpless as a tiny ant in a vast ocean.

Chen Luo could pick up a cup from the side at random and use his appraisal ability to tell it was a five-star item.

"This must be the real treasure trove of the king, right?" Chen Luo said, looking at the golden light covering the ground with a sense of existential doubt.

This golden light is not emitted by the item itself, but rather a simple mark created by Chen Luo's appraisal ability. This allows Chen Luo to quickly identify valuable items and even commission them.

Chen Luo tossed the cup in his hand aside, and then his body began to float slowly upwards.

Chen Luo wanted to see just how big the treasure trove he was in really was.

Then Chen Luo realized that he couldn't see the end at all.

If the Book of Akasha hadn't been unusable, Chen Luo wouldn't have been in such a passive position.

"What should we do now?" Chen Luo sat on a small mountain of five-star treasures, looking bewildered and somewhat frustrated.

The current situation is so complicated that Chen Luo is left guarding the treasure mountain in vain, unable to even take action.

Because Chen Luo couldn't predict what kind of impact it would have if he put the treasure into his pocket.

If Chen Luo remembered correctly, he seemed to have heard of such a thing in the Dimensional Sea Travel Guide.

That was before the appearance of Mimics.

When Mimic first appeared, it had extremely high physical defense but very low resistance to skills like Charm and Mind Control, making that the era when Mimic was most vulnerable.

When people encountered the mimic, it was as if they had discovered a hidden treasure.

Unlike now, when encountering a mimic, you can only use it to set traps.

The main issue is that charming a mimic requires a significant investment, and may even result in losses.

Back then, if people used their charm ability to raise their affinity with mimics to the maximum level, the mimics might indeed make a decision against their ancestors and swallow that person into the treasure vault shared by mimics.

However, after they left the treasure vault satisfied with the items, all of them had their treasure chests disappear without exception.

This is the reason why Chen Luo hesitated.

The Dimensional Sea Travel Guide doesn't offer any further information.

The Dimensional Sea Travel Guide mainly introduces the local customs and culture of the Dimensional Sea, and only briefly mentions such strange occurrences.

"What should we do now?" Chen Luo asked, somewhat troubled.

My lord, I have three strategies: superior, middle, and inferior.

"Tell me about it."

[The best course of action is to spend a large number of Primal Stones to make a wish in the Dimensional Sea so that the abilities of the starter Pokémon can be used normally in the Dimensional Sea. Let me analyze this for you, and it will solve the problem once and for all.]

[Middle strategy: Spend some Primogems to inquire with the Dimensional Sea.]

[The worst-case scenario is to set up a teleportation point here, grab an item, and run! We'll gamble that the mimic won't cause any problems under the protection of the bar.]

"...The best option is alright, but it's a bit wasteful of raw stones." Chen Luo's expression was complicated.

Now Chen Luo understood why ancient rulers often chose the middle or inferior strategy from among the three options proposed by their strategists.

Because the latter seems easy to do, at least for now, and it involves the least loss and is the easiest.

Just like the three strategies of learning: superior, middle, and inferior.

The best strategy is to study hard and improve every day, blah blah blah... so you can get over 90 points.

In the early stages of the course, I played casually, but in the last few classes, I listened to the teacher highlight the key points and then crammed for the exam to secure a minimum passing score of 60.

The worst option: cheating.

However, it should be noted that this three-pronged approach is only suitable for universities, because only universities can teach the entire semester's content in the last week.

Chen Luo is facing this situation now.

If you're really struggling with this, I have one last resort...

"...You said it's a last resort, do you think I'd dare use it?"

No, no, no, the reason I said this strategy is a last resort is mainly because I'm unsure if you'll get beaten up after using it, my lord.

"Without spending raw gems?"

[If you don't spend raw gems, at worst you'll get a beating.]

"This is it!" Chen Luo slapped his thigh.

The best approach is to avoid spending gems and resolve the issue properly!

At least that's the case for Chen Luo.

Sigh, getting beaten up is something everyone gets beaten up before.
