Their commission was suspicious.

Yingmei and Paimon, who were standing a bit far away, couldn't see it clearly and were very curious about how Chen Luo had managed to do it.

Seeing that the guardian of the ruins seemed to be under control, Yingmei and Paimon gradually began to approach.

Chen Luo didn't look at Yingmei and Paimon who were approaching, but instead snapped his fingers.

Instantly, countless black and red lines began to emerge. These densely packed threads extended from the void, tightly and intricately binding the ruins guard, rendering it unable to move.

Chen Luo's Herrscher of Domination power lines are quite concealed, but this is without the Herrscher of Erosion power added. Once added, they will turn into black and red lines, making them very conspicuous.

The power of the Herrscher of Corruption began to erode the entire body of the one-eyed child through the threads, and Chen Luo slowly stepped forward, then gently placed his palm on the one-eyed child's single eye.

Just like how the power of the Herrscher of Domination changes after being transformed into a talent, it can dominate and plunder the power of others. Although the uncertainty is somewhat high, it has been strengthened.

The same applies to the powers of the Herrscher of Erosion. The original Herrscher of Erosion was a self-aware ultimate virus that could erode and control living and mechanical beings. After modification, it even gained the ability to erode some non-living entities.

The actual effect is somewhat similar to Lancelot's Noble Phantasm in Fate, where the Knight does not die from bare hands, but rather corrodes and controls the weapon.

However, it no longer possesses the ability to transform it into a Noble Phantasm and greatly enhance it.

Knights never die unarmed; one could even transform a lamppost into a Noble Phantasm and have it collide with an A-rank Noble Phantasm several times. Chen Luo could not do that.

However, it is possible to corrupt a one-eyed little treasure, at least while maintaining the opponent's original strength.

Chen Luo placing his hand on the opponent's exposed weak point was also an activation of his ability, Furniture Mastery.

Although Chen Luo has turned his furniture mastery into a full mastery ability, the essence of furniture mastery, besides mastery, is control.

With his mastery of erosion and furniture, One-Eyed Treasure's body was gradually no longer his own. As if about to launch a final attack, One-Eyed Treasure's core slowly lit up, intending to deliver a blow to Chen Luo's face.

Chen Luo gently tapped the exposed core of One-Eyed Little Treasure, and the other party instantly became half-paralyzed.

One-Eyed Treasure's biggest weakness is his exposed core. Using a slightly more common tool, which in the game manifests as a charged arrow attack, he will be in a semi-paralyzed state. If he is hit again in a short period of time, he will be completely silenced for a period of time.

However, Chen Luo didn't need to hurt him a second time, because once was enough.

In the ten seconds or so that his core was hit and he was paralyzed, One-Eyed Little Treasure was completely unable to recover.

If Chen Luo, as a puppeteer, can't handle this one-eyed little treasure, then he might as well give up.

Becoming a master puppeteer seems simple to Chen Luo, but it's actually anything but. It's a level that some people can't reach in their entire lives.

While it's true that this one-eyed Xiao Bao is a product of alchemy, he is also a puppet. As a puppet, he is a doll, and as a doll, unless he is too advanced, he has to listen to Chen Luo.

Especially these ownerless dolls.

Chen Luo gently removed his hand from the core area.

Although Chen Luo only had close contact with it for a short period of time, his strength increased, and his mastery of furniture would definitely improve faster as well.

Moreover, the power of the Herrscher of Corruption has almost completely corrupted One-Eyed Treasure, and One-Eyed Treasure's entire body now presents a strange yet somewhat handsome black and red state.

After Chen Luo's palm left the core, all the threads snapped and fell onto the one-eyed Xiao Bao.

After the silk threads broke and fell on his body, One-Eyed Little Treasure regained his mobility but remained frozen in place until all the silk threads entered his body and slowly restored his original color. Only then did One-Eyed Little Treasure slowly straighten up from his forward stance and stand in front of Chen Luo.

"What...what just happened? One-Eyed Little Treasure, is this resolved?" Yingmei, who came up from behind, asked Chen Luo.

"It's considered resolved. The materials used to create this one-eyed little treasure are somewhat special, at least more special than those used for ordinary ruin guardians. Therefore, it is more resistant to the erosion of wind elements and is also immune to a lot of physical attacks, which is why you couldn't beat it."

“This one-eyed little Bao is of very good quality. It’s more sturdy and durable than the average one-eyed little Bao. It’s also more powerful and less prone to damage.” As Chen Luo spoke, the one-eyed little Bao suddenly moved.

"Watch out!" Yingmei pulled a sword out of the void to save Chen Luo.

"Don't worry." Chen Luo waved his hand, letting the one-eyed little treasure hold him in its palm without any resistance, and then turned around and sat on the one-eyed little treasure's palm.

“Now this one-eyed little treasure is mine. How about it? Pretty cool, right?” Chen Luo sat on the one-eyed little treasure’s palm and said to Yingmei below with a smile.

One-Eyed Treasure's palms don't have soft padding, so it's a bit hard to sit on, but this is One-Eyed Treasure, who could refuse to ride on one-eyed Treasure?

"So handsome!" Paimon and Yingmei replied in unison.

"So, do you want it or not?" Chen Luo asked.

"C-Can I have it?" Yingmei's eyes widened instantly.

“Of course. I want this One-Eyed Treasure, but I already know how to make it, so it’s not very useful to me. Besides, I don’t need any more dolls. So if you want it, I’ll give it to you.” Chen Luo said quite generously.

"Let me think about it, I want it." Yingmei nodded quickly.

"Then this is for you."

[Ding! Mission complete. Mission a great success. Primogems and Crystals rewards doubled. You have received 300 Primogems + 300 Crystals.]

Comfortable!

If Chen Luo's guess is correct, helping Yingmei kill One-Eyed Xiaobao would be a success; capturing One-Eyed Xiaobao alive and letting Yingmei take him back to collect a larger reward would be a great success; and directly controlling One-Eyed Xiaobao and handing him over to Yingmei would be an even greater success.

Chen Luo snapped his fingers, and as if receiving a command, One-Eyed Little Treasure gently placed his other hand at the same level as Yingmei's calf. Yingmei hesitated for a moment before sitting down.

Paimon quickly followed and sat down next to Yingmei.

One-Eyed Little Treasure's hands are quite big.

One-Eyed Little Treasure brought Yingmei to Chen Luo's side, and then Chen Luo reached out his hand to Yingmei.

"Give me your hand," Chen Luo said.

"Oh." Yingmei nodded and extended her right hand.

Chen Luo took Yingmei's hand and held her firmly in front of him.

"Don't move." Chen Luo said, placing his right hand on the core of the one-eyed baby.

When Chen Luo withdrew his hand again, Yingmei noticed that Chen Luo seemed to be holding a thread, the other end of which extended to the core of One-Eyed Little Treasure.

After Chen Luo moved the thread out, he wrapped it around Yingmei's wrist twice and then tied a knot.

What surprised Yingmei was that after the knot was marked, the originally black and red line disappeared instantly.

"What is this?" Yingmei asked excitedly.

After Yingmei pulled her wrist back, she could see a faint black mark on her wrist, which was barely noticeable unless you looked closely.

"This is the simple control device for One-Eyed Treasure, which I specially left for you. You should feel a subtle connection between yourself and Treasure now, right? Come on, try controlling it," Chen Luo said to Yingmei.

"Oh." Yingmei nodded, feeling the magical connection, and then tried to control the one-eyed little treasure.

Two seconds later, One-Eyed Little Treasure moved slightly and then took a step forward.

"It moved! It moved!" Paimon said excitedly.

"Hmm, not bad, very quick to understand," Chen Luo nodded.

"Hehe." Yingmei scratched her head shyly.

"Alright, Your Highness, this One-Eyed Treasure will serve as your mount for travel. You can use it whenever you're traveling or on a journey. Besides, this One-Eyed Treasure is quite powerful and can basically solve most problems that require force."

"Princess?"

“That’s right. Since your brother is the Abyss Prince, then wouldn’t you be the Abyss Princess? A princess shouldn’t lack the prestige that comes with it.” Chen Luo shrugged.

"But you gave me a one-eyed little treasure, and I don't know how to reciprocate," Yingmei said, somewhat conflicted.

"A return gift? There's no need for that. How about this: if you really want a return gift, if you encounter any requests that One-Eyed Little Treasure can handle while you're out, just hand the request card to the person who needs help, and then let One-Eyed Little Treasure do the work. That would be your return gift to me, how about that?" Chen Luo suddenly said.

"Oh? I see. That works too. No problem." Yingmei nodded decisively after thinking for half a second.

“Alright, come down now. I’ll help you modify One-Eyed Treasure, at least to protect its weakness,” Chen Luo said.

"Then I'll trouble you." After saying that, Yingmei controlled One-Eyed Little Treasure to send herself down.

"Sigh, another tool I've acquired. The commission agent was right; those who treat others as tools will eventually become tools themselves." Chen Luo thought to himself as he had One-Eyed Treasure escort him to her core and began his research.

Chen Luo doesn't need One-Eyed Xiao Bao's protection. Giving One-Eyed Xiao Bao to Ying Mei can greatly increase the success of the mission, and also reduce Chen Luo's burden.

In the future, when Yingmei encounters a commission, she can simply hand over the commission card like this, and then let One-Eyed Little Treasure complete the commission. Then Chen Luo can sit back and collect the raw stones.

Although Chen Luo said he gave One-Eyed Treasure to Yingmei, the fact that Chen Luo is the true owner of One-Eyed Treasure will not change.

Why shouldn't the commission completed by Chen Luo's props be considered a commission completed by Chen Luo?

nice!

Cooperation leads to a win-win situation; Chen Luo and Ying Mei have both made a fortune from this!

Chapter 205 Question: Who is the most unlucky person on the continent of Teyvat?

"Alright, this Ruin Guardian is almost finished. First of all, for the most crucial part of the Ruin Guardian, I've added three layers of reinforced outer shell, all made from the shells of Honkai Beasts. They're very durable and somewhat flexible."

"At the same time, we replaced his core device, changing it from the original chaotic core to a Honkai energy-driven one, which increases his output. And since he is a puppet, there is no need to worry about him being corrupted."

"Given that this Ruin Guardian only has a few simple attack moves, although his three basic attacks are quite useful, they are too monotonous. So I equipped him with two greatswords, which I just made using alchemy. Of course, my alchemy skills are not very good yet, and I used what I had on hand, so it was a bit rushed. Therefore, the quality is not very good, and they are quite heavy. If you have extra Mora in the future, you can buy him two greatswords."

"Although I couldn't inscribe any martial arts moves on this puppet, with One-Eyed Little Treasure's size, he could probably cut down 90% of monsters with two greatswords. Of course, run away from the ones you can't cut down anyway, you probably can't beat them anyway."

"Oh, by the way. Do you have any special storage methods? This one-eyed little treasure is a non-living thing and can be stored in some special storage items. If you don't have a storage method, I can upgrade it for you. After all, it's easy to get into trouble if you run around with such a big thing."

Chen Luo was still quite afraid that if Yingmei entered the city with a one-eyed baby who was twice her size, the city guards would mistake her for an enemy and attack her.

"Oh, don't worry about that, I have special skills for storing items," Yingmei said.

"That's fine."

Chen Luo had originally planned to have Cocolia develop some kind of quantum teleportation device or invisibility device.

This makes it quite convenient for Yingmei to use, but since the other party has a storage method, Chen Luo doesn't need to worry about it.

That makes sense. Since Chen Luo's replica includes part of the Traveler's panel, it doesn't make sense that only Chen Luo has a backpack while Ying Mei doesn't.

Yingmei has a sword without an edge, and Chen Luo also has a sword without an edge. Can you say that's a coincidence?

However, on the other hand, the Bladeless Sword is not exactly a rare item on the continent of Teyvat.

Of the 10 adventurers Chen Luo encountered while wandering around Mondstadt, at least two were carrying bladeless swords, since they were cheap.

What Chen Luo found somewhat puzzling was why Yingmei had Paimon while he didn't. It wasn't that Chen Luo absolutely needed Paimon; having any other item would be fine too.

No, wait a minute.

Chen Luo suddenly became alert.

How did Yingmei get her Paimon? She found it while fishing.

It could be said that it was all down to luck.

If we're talking about finding something at the start of the game purely by luck, Chen Luo has found something before; he found the Herrscher of Knowledge.

Could it be that the one who understands the law is actually one's own disciple?

Ah this...

"Chen Luo, what are you thinking about?" Yingmei asked, puzzled, as she looked at Chen Luo's constantly changing expression.

"It's alright, but where's One-Eyed Little Treasure?" Lost in thought, Chen Luo looked up and found that One-Eyed Little Treasure was gone.

I was so focused on analyzing the similarities between the Herrscher of Knowledge and Paimon that I almost forgot to pay attention to how Yingmei actually collected One-Eyed Treasure.

"I put it in my backpack."

"Backpack?"

"Yes."

"..."

Well, Chen Luo originally wanted to ask what a backpack was, but after thinking about his own backpack, he didn't ask.

"Alright, if you need anything, just ask One-Eyed Little Treasure to help you with the tasks from now on. If there aren't any special tasks, you don't need to call me. Are you going back now or what?" Chen Luo asked.

"Let's just go back. I still need to collect my rewards. Now that I've got One-Eyed Treasure, that's pretty much it. That's a lot of Mora, and I heard that there are some prizes to be won when you accumulate a certain amount of merit points," Yingmei said excitedly.

“Okay, you go ahead. I’ll stay around here for a while. I’ll do some rather dangerous experiments,” Chen Luo said.

Chen Luo originally intended to go to Changkong City to conduct experiments, but after thinking about it, he realized that Changkong City had already been ruined enough by him.

Actually, after realizing that he could conduct experiments in a bar, Chen Luo was too lazy to go anywhere else to do the experiments. However, there was still one thing to do: the explosive sensation couldn't be felt in a bar, so he needed to see what kind of effect it would have in reality.

This also provides an opportunity for Chen Luo to test his latest inspiration and the boost that the "There's always a way out" skill can provide for scientific research.

Yingmei's choice of the Thousand Winds Temple was quite perfect. There were indeed few people nearby. Although there might be adventurers, Chen Luo was also very good at avoiding people.

Furthermore, just a little further east is a cliff. If you were to conduct experiments from there, you could simply throw down any fireballs that were about to explode.

Furthermore, if Chen Luo remembers correctly, if you go a little further east, there seems to be a place called Musk Reef, which is where you fight in the Abyss in the game. There is indeed no one there.

If it's blown up and sunk, probably no one will care.
