Their commission was suspicious.

But it would be interesting if someone's luck points were reduced to -100.

This is equivalent to Chen Luo borrowing 700 credits from Pado every day, which can be used to charm or persuade 7 people.

That's enough.

Unless... Chen Luo intends to relentlessly accumulate luck points in order to charm or persuade someone to achieve great success.

"Oh, by the way, Pado, don't tell anyone about borrowing luck."

"Sigh, how am I supposed to explain the origin of the Paradise Coins?"

"Just tell me you tell me a joke every day, and I'll give it to you, okay?"

"So hasty?"

"Then you can say you'll clean my room every day? Anyway, you'll get one Paradise Coin every day from now on, which is 30 Paradise Coins a month and 365 a year. It's not a huge amount, so don't worry too much," Chen Luo said.

"Oh." Pado nodded, seemingly understanding.

"I'm going to work now." Pado said goodbye to Chen Luo and left.

Unlike Chen Luo, who is a free spirit, Pado has a job.

[That's not what you told Mei back then.]

"...In urgent situations, expediency is necessary."

"But speaking of which... the Ninth Herrscher is coming, right?"

[That depends on how you define "soon." If you're willing to use a monthly timeline, today it's the armed puppets rebelling, tomorrow it's New Year's, and the day after tomorrow the Ninth Herrscher will have sunk the entire Mu Continent!]

The reason why the user-friendly plugin didn't mention speedrunning the pre-civilization era in three days is mainly because Mebius doesn't allow Chen Luo to jump more than 15 days at a time.

The reason for specifically mentioning the Lunar New Year is that this was the last normal Lunar New Year that our civilization had celebrated.

Although Chen Luo has tried his best to minimize his presence and avoid causing trouble for the world, he has indeed brought about significant changes to the world. Due to the increased speed of civilization development, the speed at which Herrschers appear will likely also increase.

Even if Chen Luo only shares a tiny bit of his magical artifacts with this world, it can still significantly boost the entire civilization.

Overall, it's roughly equivalent to the normal development speed/frequency of Herrscher appearances in previous civilizations.

Generally speaking, the speed of Honkai's development has always been faster than the current speed of civilization's development.

Looking at the compass in his hand, Chen Luo tentatively used 100 luck points to see how lucky he would be in that minute...

"Chen Luo!" A figure suddenly appeared behind Chen Luo, patted Chen Luo on the shoulder, and brought Chen Luo back from his daze.

"Hmm?" Chen Luo turned his head and saw Vervi.

She originally came to ask you to prepare for the New Year's Eve gala performance. Her magic act at the gala is supposed to be making people disappear into thin air, but she's still missing one person.

"..."

What does "originally" mean?

It means...

"Waaah!" Wilvi suddenly raised her hands.

"???"

[Vilvie's bad luck lies in the fact that she has several personalities, making her more susceptible to attacks than others. And you just used 100 luck points. Congratulations, you have unlocked the Velvie route!]

"No, is the judgment rate calculated like this?" Chen Luo was greatly shocked.

[Who cares how she calculated it? Anyway, Velvi's been tricked, hurry up and go win her over! What are you standing there for?]

Chapter 1842 The Easily Appeased "Little Lolita" and the Extremely Evil Virvi

From a purely rational perspective, Chen Luo, as an SS-level Herrscher of Knowledge, still has memories he cannot erase.

Of course not... just kidding.

The evil of Chen Luo's little loli cursed doll lies in the fact that it fixed the memories of the curse's duration onto the soul, making it absolutely impossible for the memories to be forgotten.

Unless Chen Luo cuts off a portion of his memories along with his soul. But Chen Luo isn't without other solutions...

It was already difficult enough for Verviel to split her personality, and Chen Luo couldn't bear to let Verviel suffer any more undeserved misfortune in this regard.

However, the curse that Chen Luo is using now is different from the trivial items he used to take out... This is an item that can actually be used to deal with Herrschers.

If we bind the Herrscher to the little girl cursed doll and make the Herrscher enter a cute and spoiled state, wouldn't defeating the Herrscher be an easy thing?

Moreover, the curse will never be lifted unless the cursed doll is broken.

That made using a Herrscher to fight another Herrscher a reality.

To prevent the previous civilization from placing too much emphasis on Chen Luo's Proof of Adventure and thus adding unnecessary pressure on him, Chen Luo made a decision that went against his previous self.

"Little cutie, you've fallen into my hands, haven't you?" Wilvi gently lifted Chen Luo's chin with her finger.

"Children should behave like children. What kind of behavior is this, pulling and tugging like that?" Chen Luo grabbed Wilvi's fingers.

"Tin... tastes like a lie."

Vervi wasn't joking; Vervi really did add it.

"Alright, you should go back now." Chen Luo leaned against the wall, being forced to do something by Vervi, his arms wrapped around Vervi's waist...

But Chen Luo wasn't trying to take advantage; he was looking for Wilvi's doll.

And Chen Luo did indeed obtain it.

Chen Luo tightened his fingers slightly, but just as he was about to crush the cursed doll, the two faces were very close. Vilvie, who was staring intently at Chen Luo, suddenly burst into tears.

"I don't want to go back! Why are you bullying me just like them? Why won't you let me out?" Vivi cried as she punched Chen Luo's chest with her little fists.

[Ding! You have a new request!]

【Stay】: Allows the extremely evil Vilvie's personality to manifest for a longer period of time.

Reward: 600 Primogems + 40 points of affinity with Velvi

Difficulty: 3 stars

"Cough cough. Let's... let's not get agitated." Chen Luo coughed.

In order to avoid appearing unusual in the previous civilization, Chen Luo normally used the power of the Herrscher of Constraint to restrain his physical abilities.

This allowed Chen Luo to exhibit physical abilities no different from ordinary people, while Wilvie, although just a girl, was a fusion warrior.

Vervi's hammer blows were really making Chen Luo lose his composure.

Moreover, children don't know their own strength when they hit.

"I don't care, I don't want to go back now!" Vilvi's mental state doesn't seem quite right now.

When you have too many personality types, some of them will inevitably have abnormal mental states.

"Okay, okay, we won't go back." Chen Luo suppressed the feeling of utter despair from being punched in the chest by a fusion warrior's little fists, took off Velvi's hat with one hand, and tried to calm her down with a head pat with the other.

The head pat seems to work quite well.

Wilvi's emotions had stabilized considerably, but she still clung tightly to Chen Luo's clothes.

"You really won't let me go back right away?" Vivi asked Chen Luo softly, her eyes filled with tears.

"Of course." Chen Luo nodded.

"It's a deal, no take-backs!" Wilvi's previously sad face instantly changed.

"...Your attitude changes way too fast!"

"Heh, so other Velvies are allowed to be geniuses, but I'm not?" Extremely Evil Velvie laughed.

Chen Luo hasn't actually crushed the little girl's cursed doll yet, so Vilvie is still under the curse.

However, even though they are all little girls, there are still differences.

Just because a little girl is young doesn't mean she doesn't understand anything.

Just like children these days, they are maturing earlier and knowing more and more.

Extremely evil Velvie, in terms of sheer genius, is smarter than all current Velvie personalities except for her id.

So even the wicked little girl, Velvet, is quite clever. After all, even if her mindset becomes that of a child, the thought process of a genius little girl is different from that of an ordinary person... Of course, she will also cry when she gets beaten.

"So you were just acting the whole time?" Chen Luo asked, straightening his clothes.

“Uh…that’s right!” After snatching her hat back from Chen Luo, Wilvi crossed her arms.

[This is a lie. When you first told her you wanted her to go back, Velvey was genuinely heartbroken and her crying was very real. But she reacted quickly.]

Even the most talented little girl will cry if she gets a beating; her emotions are naturally more unstable than an adult's when she encounters something upsetting.

[However, compared to the genius Velvi, you are indeed a genius, my lord. You actually thought of using the favorability gift Velvi gave you to replace the extremely evil Velvi.]

"That's..." Chen Luo felt a little smug.

The difference between Extreme Evil Velvey and the other Velveys is that no one plays with Extreme Evil Velvey and doesn't let her out, which means that Extreme Evil Velvey won't communicate with any other Velveys.

Therefore, even if the extremely evil Vervier knew that Chen Luo was special, she couldn't tell the other Verviers.

Of course, they were unwilling to talk about it.

Back when the id, Wilvie, was still alive... the id didn't die, but rather went into a slumber... real-time communication between personalities was possible, but this function disappeared after the id, Wilvie, went into a slumber and became stagnant; communication was only possible through message boards or similar means.

Although they generally got along well, there was one exception—the extremely wicked Vervier.

All the Velvies unanimously agreed that the Extreme Evil Velvie must never be released except under special circumstances, otherwise, given the Extreme Evil Velvie's genius, she would definitely bring chaos to the entire world.

Magician Velvey and Expert Velvey are both intelligent, right? But Evil Velvey is the embodiment of the arrogance of a genius within all the Velveies. Every genius has arrogance, and Evil Velvey was created to prevent this arrogance from bringing disaster to the world.

Whenever other personalities of Velvi harbor excessive arrogance or self-importance, they are relegated to the territory of the extremely evil Velvi.

If we consider the entire Velvi as a pie chart, then sooner or later the territory occupied by the extremely evil Velvi will exceed 50%!

Therefore, it's absolutely true that the most talented of all the Velvies is the one with the most extreme evil.

Well, except for the id, Velvet.

By bringing out the extremely evil Velvie, there's no need to worry about Velvie having an unusually vivid memory of this event. In any case, the extremely evil Velvie can't tell anyone, and even if she did, the other Velvies wouldn't believe her.

However, Chen Luo did not expect that the extremely evil Vervi would become so emotional after hearing that he was going to send her back, and that the reward for the commission would be so tempting.

However, upon closer reflection, it's not a problem to let the extremely evil Velvi stay for a while. After all, Velvi's personality takes turns appearing every day, and as long as no special notes are left, the other personalities won't care who takes over at certain times.

"My lord, your reaction was indeed quick, but... why didn't you smash the cursed doll the moment it appeared? Why go through all that trouble to release the extremely evil Velvet? If you were trying to farm quests, then I can only say you're a genius. But if you didn't expect this..."

"...Yes, that's right, I just want to farm commissions!" Chen Luo said, sticking out his neck.

"Where are we going now?" Velvi asked, quite naturally taking Chen Luo's hand, her curiosity about the Fire Moth phantoms ...

Trapped in that endless darkness for a short time, Vervi's mood was far from pleasant.

However, the current Extreme Evil Velvie at least acknowledges that she is one of the Velvies, because she was not trapped by Velvie for a full 5 years like the memory Extreme Evil Velvie.

At most, the extremely evil Verviel is just a little rebellious, but it's not serious.

Chen Luo can take the extremely evil Vervie to many places because Chen Luo is now known as a free spirit among the Fire Moths.

Even though Chen Luo is so free, there's not much anyone can say anything about him.

After all, who knows what kind of commission Chen Luo might suddenly receive from the Proof of Adventure?

Of course, not many people actually know about the Proof of Adventure, no more than 10 in total, but Chen Luo only needs to explain it to these 10 people; he doesn't care about the others.

It's enough that these 10 people can understand Chen Luo's behavior...

There were no problems with Velvi's side either. Velvi's most famous feature was her constantly changing personality, which was common knowledge within the Firemoth community, although the versions of the story varied.

Besides, since Velvey created so many Divine Keys, shouldn't we let her enjoy them a bit?

Why is it wrong for Vervi to go out for a stroll?

Of course, this is on the condition that Vilvi lets go of Chen Luo's hand.

However, the extremely evil Virvi was quite dissatisfied with this.

If Chen Luo hadn't stopped him, he would have been rolling on the ground in despair.

Chen Luo was helpless in the face of the situation because the extremely wicked Wilvi wouldn't allow him to break the doll.

Extremely evil Wilvi was worried that Chen Luo would make her go back if he broke the doll, and Wilvi also really liked the little loli doll.

People under the curse are like this: Chen Luo can basically get two requests from them: one is a lollipop request, and the other is a request not to destroy the little loli doll immediately. Even if these little lolis know that breaking the curse will restore them to normal, they are unwilling.
