Their commission was suspicious.

“I’ll have Qingque accompany me to be in charge of restarting the array base. As for eliminating evil spirits…” Fu Xuan was interrupted by March 7 before he could finish speaking.

"Ahem, Xing, I did a divination for myself, and it turns out that the three of us are destined for a life of toil," March 7th said earnestly.

“So… Diviner, utter that magical word.” Xing said cooperatively.

"Wh-what magical words?" Fu Xuan looked bewildered.

"Oh, it's just a simple, universally applicable word: please," March 7th said casually.

"...Please, please," Fu Xuan stammered.

Perhaps Fu Xuan had never uttered this word before.

"Received!" March 7th gave a salute.

"Chen Luo!" But on March 7th, he turned around and called out to someone.

"What?" Chen Luo, who had just finished telling Qing Que that he would keep the Imperial Jade Token for her and give it to her after he finished his work, came over.

"Give me a weapons case." March 7th held out his hand to Chen Luo.

[Ding! You have a new request!]

"...She sends you a commission, and you send me one, right? You've really figured out how to make the middleman's cut." Chen Luo rolled his eyes at San Yueqi.

Despite saying that, Chen Luo still tossed the weapon case to March 7th.

Chen Luo can get two commissions for the same thing, so he's not really at a loss.

On March 7th, while enjoying Fu Xuan's "Request for Help," they casually earned 1000 Paradise Coins from accepting the commission and 3000 Paradise Coins from completing it, so they didn't lose anything.

Fu Xuanzhi simply said, "Please," and the manpower problem was solved.

So... who really lost out?

Weird.

"Can the weapon box still be used to repair the Qiong Guan Formation?" Fu Xuan asked, somewhat surprised.

"Of course it can. This weapon box can repair anything. Even the ruins that have been damaged by the Demon King for more than three years can be restored to their best condition with just a gentle wipe," March 7 said confidently.

But after March 7th wiped the Qiongguan Formation clean and the weapon box disappeared, the entire Qiongguan Formation was completely renewed!

However, it still cannot be started.

March 7th looked up at Chen Luo.

"Why are you looking at me? My weapon case isn't broken. It can indeed repair most damage in the world, but the problem is that the Qiong Guan Formation wasn't broken to begin with. It's just that the formation's foundation has changed and there's an abundance of evil spirits blocking the Heavenly Emperor. So..."

"so?"

"Just go and complete the task honestly." Chen Luo crossed his arms.

"You should have said so earlier."

"You didn't even ask me. And if you had told me earlier, how would I have earned commissions from you?"

"..." After thinking about it, March 7th realized that Chen Luo's words made sense, so he could only admit that Chen Luo was still a cut above the rest.

"Qingque, I'm entrusting the matter of restarting the array base to you. Also... forget everything you just heard and saw." Looking at the sullen March 7th, Fu Xuan instructed Qingque beside him.

When March 7th and Xing ran to Qingque's side, they heard Qingque complaining.

"What kind of ingratitude is this? Not only do you not reward me, but you also want to give me extra work? Sigh, the Grand Diviner wants me to take you all with me to restart the Qiong Guan Formation's foundation." Qing Que said to Xing and San Yue Qi with some dejection.

"A promotion and a raise are just around the corner! So don't be discouraged," Xing encouraged.

"Sigh, I went to great lengths to get transferred to the library, such an inconspicuous place where I could slack off at work. Now look what's happened, my easy career at the abbot's office is completely ruined. If I don't handle this well, I might be in danger of being kicked out of the abbot's office. If I do handle it well, won't the tasks assigned by the higher-ups just keep piling up? I should have stayed there and continued playing cards." Qingque's tone wasn't much better than March 7th's.

"Oh, you mean this? I remember Chen Luo seems to have something called the 'Slacking Off Bible'... It should be perfect for you," said March 7th.

What is the "Bible of Slacking Off"?

Although she had never heard of it before, Qingque felt a sense of awe and inspiration when she heard those four words.

"Oh, that's a book. Its effect is that when the holder has a leader, they can slack off to their heart's content. It's a special item that makes the leader remember them when doing good things and forget them when busy. You can still get a salary and live a leisurely life at the same time," March 7th recalled.

"Such a divine artifact actually exists in the world?" Qingque was greatly shocked.

"Chen Luo has a lot of good stuff, such as that rare weapon box that can be used to repair countless items."

"Oh, a rare object, right? Now I understand." Qingque nodded quickly.

“Let’s go. Although I’m really looking forward to that ‘Slacking Off Bible,’ now’s not the time to talk about these things. Let’s finish this job quickly so we can take a break and ask about related matters. On the way, tell me what Chen Luo likes, and I’ll see if I can get a copy of the ‘Slacking Off Bible’ from him.”

Although Qingque really wanted to slack off, the matter of the Immortal Ship was now so urgent that it was a matter of life and death.

The prerequisite for slacking off is a quiet and comfortable working environment!

"Sigh, actually, it's very simple to get Chen Luo to help you. Just tell him. But you should be prepared to be manipulated by him in the future."

"Huh? Toying with?"

"Um, I mean he's making fun of me."

"...Just like I was at the card table just now?"

"Just like you were at the poker table. So you almost broke your four wild cards + four concealed triplets + what was it again? Was it really that scary?"

"...If nothing unexpected happens, my nightmares for the next three days will all be about this matter," Qingque said with a grim face.

"Hey, wait a minute." Chen Luo suddenly walked up to March 7th.

"what happened?"

"Take this." Chen Luo handed over a stack of corroded gold coins.

"A gift for me?" March 7th was pleasantly surprised.

"...I asked you to help subdue the abundant monsters on this trip. My collecting habit got the better of me, so please forgive me."

Chapter 1857 Star: Why not ask the omnipotent Chen Luo for help? Go, kill Nanuk!

“Humans are constantly on the path of destiny, moving through time and space, creating all sorts of causes and effects. Once activated, the Qiong Guan Array will calculate the information contained within the target Kafka, sending the part related to the Immortal Ship into the diviner's sea of ​​consciousness. And next is you.” Fu Xuan said to Chen Luo.

"What if Qiong Guan miscalculates the formation?" Chen Luo said, stroking his chin.

"There are no 'what ifs,' because accidents don't exist. The algorithm of the Qiong Guan Array, with its myriad transformations, calculates all the uncertainties in the fate of things through countless enumerations. Once the scale is broadened to encompass eternity and the cosmos, there are no more variables in the world," Fu Xuan said confidently.

When Chen Luo questioned the Qiong Guan Formation, Fu Xuan seemed somewhat agitated.

"Then, if we use the Qiong Guan Formation to divine the Star Gods, is that possible?" Chen Luo asked another tricky question.

"...Not quite right." Fu Xuan almost blushed, but still decisively admitted the limits of the Qiong Guan Formation.

Humans are constantly on the path of destiny; this is the foundation of the divination methods passed down by the Qiong Guan Zhen or the Wisdom Star God.

But the Star God is the one who creates destiny.

If the Qiong Guan Array could truly predict the Star Gods, then the Immortal Ship would have already killed the Abundant Star God!

The premise is that the Hunting Star God can defeat the Abundant Star God.

"Hmm, I understand more or less." Chen Luo nodded and stopped disturbing Fu Xuan, who was in charge of the Qiong Guan Formation, and walked towards the illusory figure of Jing Yuan next to him.

Although there wasn't much distance between the two of them to begin with.

"Jingyuan, I heard that you are short-handed on your Immortal Ship?" Chen Luo asked directly.

"That's not true. As long as we make good use of all the available resources, there will be no shortage of manpower on the Immortal Ship," Jing Yuan said with a smile.

"In layman's terms, as long as the train crew is willing to help, the manpower on the Immortal Ship will not be short for the time being, right?" Chen Luo glanced at Yue Jingyuan.

Jingyuan really wasn't embarrassed at all about using the train crew, and of course, with General Jingyuan's wisdom, he would naturally compensate the train afterwards.

This will ensure that the train benefits significantly.

In a sense, what Chen Luo and Jing Yuan did was basically the same.

However, Chen Luo had given March 7, Dan Heng, and the Pioneer enough Paradise Coins beforehand, and Paradise Coins represented actual benefits.

If you could just lie down, who would want to work? But Chen Luo is giving so much.

A single commission of 3,000 Paradise Coins is enough to buy a house in Immortal Boat. Although it's split among three people, the Train Trio never completes less than 10 commissions at a time.

"..." Jing Yuan just smiled and didn't say anything.

"General Jingyuan, would you like me to recommend a group of mercenaries to you?" Chen Luo suddenly said.

“No need.” Jing Yuan refused quite directly.

This is an internal matter of the Immortal Ship. If it is handled by mercenaries from outside, it will deal a significant blow to the morale of the Immortal Ship's Cloud Cavalry.

Moreover, since they are mercenaries, it is impossible to determine whether they came with good intentions, whether they will obey orders, or whether they will cause greater damage to the Immortal Ship.

The Immortal Ship is already in a state of chaos, and Jing Yuan really doesn't want to add another problem to it.

“Oh… but let me warn you first, your opponents will not only possess the Medicine King's Secret Technique, but also others. Moreover, the Medicine King's Secret Technique has researched the Demonic Yin Body for so long, they will naturally have methods to catalyze it. My Paradise Gold Coins are useful, but they might be insufficient against such a vicious drug. Be careful. If you change your mind, you can always come find me,” Chen Luo said.

The status of Paradise Coins goes without saying; a single Paradise Coin is considered a four-star item in the Dimensional Sea. However, the problem is that the only side effect of Paradise Coins is their ability to resist the Demonic Body.

"And you don't need to worry too much about the mercenaries taking over, because that's the force that issues Paradise Coins. If you're still worried, you can just borrow the Paradise's healing team," Chen Luo continued, trying to sell them.

"The treatment team?"

“Well, since they can’t be soldiers, doing some logistical work won’t be a waste of their potential,” Chen Luo said.

"...Thank you for your kindness, but it's not necessary for now. Let's discuss these matters after you, Chen Luo, have passed the test of the Qiong Guan Formation," Jing Yuan said.

Jing Yuan was indeed somewhat tempted by Chen Luo's suggestion, because if the goal was to deal with the Medicine King's Secret Teachings, then the Medicine King's Secret Teachings' understanding of the Demon Yin Body would be the strongest weapon against the Immortal Boat Cloud Banner.

If the Medicine King's Secret Manual truly possesses a drug that can rapidly catalyze the Yin Body of the Immortal Ship's Human-Demon hybrid, then we'll be in big trouble.

However, Chen Luo's suggestion still carries risks.

Jingyuan suddenly had a feeling that Chen Luo's purpose in discussing mercenaries with her was secondary; his main purpose might be to remind her of something.

Remind yourself to prepare early.

Perhaps... the other party also knew that they would reject Chen Luo's proposal.

……

"Chen Luo, what are you doing?" After March 7th and the others finished setting up the three array bases of the Qiong Guan Formation, they returned to the front of the Qiong Guan Formation and saw Chen Luo squatting in the corner of the Qiong Guan Formation, seemingly muttering incantations.

"I'm chatting with Qiong Guanzhen right now."

"what?"

"In short, it's nothing, nothing important."

"Oh, here are your Corruption Coins. Speaking of which, the monsters we've captured along the way haven't been anything particularly high-level. Is it really okay to waste Paradise Coins like this? Or are Corruption Coins actually not that expensive to make?" March 7th returned all 20-plus Corruption Coins to Chen Luo, each of which contained a sealed monster.

There were abundant creatures, even golden men, and monsters that looked like fish and seemed to be able to set off fireworks.

The twenty-two gold coins were exactly the right amount, no more and no less, and were used up perfectly after sealing all the monsters.

This led March 7 to suspect that Chen Luo might have been using his ability to observe the future to observe these boring futures again, out of boredom.

"It's just eroding gold coins; the cost is extremely low. The total cost is no more than two Paradise Gold Coins, and more than half the cost comes from using Paradise Gold Coins as materials," Chen Luo said.

"Then why are you selling it to us at such a high price?"

"What's expensive isn't the cost, it's the technology. If the God of Pleasure... the God of Wisdom personally crafted a crystal ball for you that could be used to predict the future, even if it was made of the most ordinary glass, would you be willing to spend a thousand Paradise Gold Coins to buy this item?"

"Probably? After all, it's a product of the God of Wisdom." March 7th nodded hesitantly.

“Making this Corrupted Gold Coin is equivalent to using two different powers possessed by two Star Gods—Domination and Corruption. You should be grateful for the low price.” Chen Luo said, standing up and subconsciously patting off non-existent dust from his body before walking towards Fu Xuan.

Fu Xuan seemed to have been waiting for a long time.

“You’ve done very well. I can sense that the talismans of the Qiong Guan Formation have been reactivated. Next, I will interrogate Kafka. Those within the formation may feel some… shock. Are you ready?” Fu Xuan asked.

"Ready."

With the train crew members confirmed, Star Core Hunter Kafka was then brought over by several Cloud Cavalry soldiers.

"Is such a big show necessary? I told you I would cooperate with you," Kafka said casually.

“You are a wanted criminal skilled in using the magic of words to sow discord, and I have no interest in your words. You may say whatever you want, but I will only believe in the divination of Qiong Guan Zhen. The Grand Diviner has his own ways of digging out the truth from you, far more than what words can say,” Fu Xuan said.

"Then please let the diviner witness my destiny." Kafka, who seemed much more haggard, walked to the very center of this divination array on her own.

"Rise!" With Fu Xuan's command, the massive array instantly enveloped the entire Qiong Guan Array, rapidly rotating around Kafka, who stood at the center of the array. Kafka's body slowly floated up, surrounded by the massive dome, seemingly like a prisoner trapped in the Qiong Guan Array.

As the Qiong Guan Formation intensifies its power, billions of pieces of information begin to circulate, collide, and be filtered within the Jade Palace...
