Their commission was suspicious.

Asuna's friend Mito's preferred weapon is... a scythe.

After learning about this, Asuna was shaken for a long time.

Upon learning of Chen Luo's self-introduction that he was omniscient, this was the first thing Asuna thought of.

"It's not that this wish is too difficult, but shouldn't you be asking how to leave this game world first?"

“But I think friends are more important,” Asuna said.

“That’s true. After all, you can leave this world once you reach the required level. As for reviving dead players, I might have forgotten to tell you if you hadn’t asked me.” Chen Luo nodded.

"So you really have information on this?"

"Of course. I might have forgotten to tell you earlier, but all the players who have died in Aincrad over the past month are actually hidden at the very bottom of Aincrad, a place that players cannot reach. They are sleeping there as spirits, but they are not truly dead."

"Then how do we bring them back to life? I mean, awaken them."

"Calm down, don't get so agitated. Reviving them is very simple, or rather, ridiculously simple, all we need to do is..."

"if only?"

"Just tell me!"

"Ugh?"

"What's so surprising? I have a lot of authority," Chen Luo said proudly.

"Then I beg you, Mr. Chen Luo! Please help me revive my friend! I am willing to pay any price for this!" Asuna bowed deeply.

"Yes, yes, okay, okay, I've received your wish, but next time don't use such an exaggerated price to make a wish, otherwise I'll take it seriously." Chen Luo waved his hand.

“But if I give you the chance to be resurrected just like that, you might not cherish it…” Chen Luo’s tone changed.

"No, I will definitely cherish it."

"So, to give you some motivation, I've decided to add this item that can revive dead players to the loot of the first-floor boss. Whoever kills the first-floor boss for the first time will receive this exclusive reward," Chen Luo said.

“But this gold coin…” Asuna looked at Kirito and the gold coin in his hand with some difficulty.

“Oh, using gold coins to subdue the boss will be considered as killing the boss,” Chen Luo said, understanding Asuna’s predicament.

"...Kirito, can you let me have the first floor boss? I really need this revival item. Besides this revival item, all the boss's drops are yours. We can also get the second floor boss's dungeon from Chen Luo to quickly defeat the second boss. Compared to the first floor boss, the second floor boss should be stronger in all attributes, right?" Asuna said.

"...Okay." Kirito nodded, seeing Asuna's determined look in her eyes.

However, Kirito didn't quite understand why Chen Luo wanted to make things so complicated.

How could anyone not cherish a chance to revive a friend?

……

"Yeah, so why did you still insist on sending them a request?" Yukari Yakumo asked.

Yukari Yakumo knew this must be a secret between Chen Luo and the world consciousness, but it was precisely because Chen Luo had never told her about these secrets that Yukari Yakumo was so gossipy.

If you knew that two friends you spend every day with suddenly started secretly discussing something, you would be curious, knowing it must be a secret between them.

"It's not really a big secret, just something to give those who don't understand anything and are unaware of the impending cataclysmic changes in the world a little shock, to make them realize that if they continue to view this game, which is about to become a true otherworld, according to their original ideas, they will be... outdated." Chen Luo said, watching Asuna and Kirito leave with their backs to him.

At this moment, Asuna and Kirito were holding two weapons in their hands, studying them intently.

That was a weapon that Chen Luo enhanced for Asuna and Kirito using the River God's power, free of charge, before they were about to leave.

Given the conceptual nature of the River God's abilities, even the Hunting God could be replicated in three forms, so even with the current data and semi-physical weapons, the River God's abilities can be perfectly replicated.

"It's that simple?"

"It's that simple. After all, you should know Yakumo Yukari. If everyone starts on the same footing, the feeling of seeing themselves fall further and further behind those who are in the long run is probably worse than killing them. So, in order to prevent them from having too much regret, we have to give them all a push. That way, they won't take their anger out on Kirito and Asuna."

It is human nature to worry about inequality rather than scarcity.

We're all players in this death game. You get benefits from leveling up, I get benefits from leveling up, and even though we're all in this difficult situation, there's nothing to complain about.

But I get benefits from leveling up, while you get 10 times more benefits from leveling up. Who can stand that?

This is why closed beta testers in Aincrad all obediently remain anonymous, otherwise they are afraid of being surrounded and killed by ordinary players!

This kind of thing happens even in a game where winning offers no benefit other than not dying.

And this feeling will only intensify when facing Aincrad, which is about to ignite a fantasy craze that will sweep the world!

"Considering they contributed a lot of Primogems to me, I should always consider their needs. Besides, Asuna will get the boss around 10 AM tomorrow... oh no, according to our time it's around 8 AM, and she'll naturally be eager to revive her friends. It's just one more night's sleep, I can afford to wait. It's okay if the mission is completed a little later." Chen Luo said, tossing a scroll in his hand.

"What is this?" Yukari Yakumo asked.

"I just sold the location of the boss room on the second floor to them for 400 Primogems. How many Primogems do you think this boss map on the third floor can sell for?" Chen Luo asked after Asuna and Kirito had completely left.

"...You're selling a map of Aincrad separately? I heard Aincrad has 100 floors, you're not planning to sell them 100 times, are you?"

"how is this possible?"

"I told you, Chen Luo, you wouldn't be this inhuman..."

"It's 300 times. Because the location of the boss room on this floor is different from the leveling spot on this floor, and it's also different from the location of the hidden quests on this floor."

"..."

Alright, I, Yakumo Yukari, have to admit—Chen Luo, you are now even more inhuman than I am!

"Sigh, although you've preemptively triggered the potential dissatisfaction among players, Asuna and the others will inevitably find themselves in the eye of the storm once they defeat the boss," Yukari Yakumo said.

"So I told Asuna to use the Corruption Coin when the boss was almost dead, and then say it was a special reward. Then let her pretend to be surprised when she gets the resurrection item... And why are you so concerned about Asuna and the others?"

“Hmm, don’t you think it would be helpful for me, a mysterious player who has been playing Aincrad for quite some time, to help them?” Yakumo Yukari volunteered.

Yukari Yakumo's intuition told her that going to this world was very important to her.

"Your map of Yan is a bit short. No good."

"No, Chen Luo, please! When that world transforms from illusion to reality, the resulting change will be a shift in the power of realms across the entire world. This will greatly benefit my understanding of realm abilities! My intuition tells me I can't miss this opportunity!" Yakumo Yukari hugged Chen Luo's waist tightly, displaying a "I won't let go until you agree" attitude.

Even with so many people watching in the bar, Yukari Yakumo has a thick skin!

[Ding! You have a new request!]

But Chen Luo couldn't, because Mebius had already looked over at Chen Luo, who was being held by Kita Yakumo Yukari.

"jingle!"

"I think I just heard... a realm ability?" The wind chimes rang, and another new customer, whom Chen Luo had seen before but had never been to the bar, arrived.

Yukari Yakumo turned her head, then frowned.

This new guest... looks somewhat similar to me.

Moreover, they are fundamentally similar.

"Chen Luo, I've brought the Halloween Queen with me," said White Night Demon.

Chapter 1898 Don't try to solve everything yourself first; think about whether you can summon Chen Luo!

"..."

"..."

Yukari Yakumo possesses the ability to manipulate all levels of realm and holds dangerous abilities related to the origin.

In Gensokyo, a world overrun by demons and monsters, this power, comparable to that of the creator god, is also one of the most dangerous abilities.

The Halloween Queen is a celestial spirit born from the sun in the realm between life and death, who controls all the power of the realms in the Little Garden.

Within the miniature garden, it is the undisputed entity among the gifts of space.

The similarity between these two people is self-evident. What kind of sparks will fly when they meet unexpectedly?

"What are you?"

"What do you look at?"

"Try looking at another one!"

"Let's give it a try!"

As it turns out, two tigers cannot share the same mountain. Unless one is male and the other female, two males won't work, nor will two females.

Don't think that two tigresses can coexist. In reality, women can be much more ruthless than men when they fight, and every move they make is extremely insidious!

So from the moment their eyes met, Yakumo Yukari and the Halloween Queen's expressions towards each other changed.

Although, according to Chen Luo, Yakumo Yukari is slightly inferior to the Halloween Queen in terms of direct strength, Yakumo Yukari is not afraid at all.

Anyway, everyone's in a bar now, and you can't hurt each other in a bar, just like two cats separated by a door.

I yell at you, do you think you can break the glass and come over to beat me up?

Come on over here if you dare!

"My head hurts!" Chen Luo scratched his head.

Chen Luo didn't feel that he had any conflicts with the Halloween Queen or Yakumo Yukari in his daily life, so why were their conflicts so intense when they met?

While it might not escalate to the point of physical fight, it's strange that they dislike each other, especially since they've never met before.

[How can these be compared? Two tigers cannot share one mountain, unless one is male and the other female. Besides, you and those two are quite different. They are truly born with innate power closely tied to their cultivation levels, while yours is an acquired ability. It's normal for them to dislike each other. If either of them had acquired their ability, things wouldn't have turned out this way.]

Chen Luo does indeed possess almost the same level of ability as Yakumo Yukari, but Chen Luo and Yakumo Yukari are not exactly the same. All of Chen Luo's abilities have been transformed into a semi-conceptual form, and there will be no changes to his physical constitution.

Chen Luo is still an ordinary person... at least on the surface.

They were just lucky enough to gain certain abilities.

Just like when Chen Luo went to obtain the power of the Herrscher, he did not have the same physical constitution as the Herrscher.

The Halloween Queen and Yakumo Yukari, who is very familiar with Chen Luo, would only think of Chen Luo: "Hey, this kid is quite cute."

When Halloween Queen and Yukari Yakumo look at each other, they think: Where did this country bumpkin come from, who looks so much like me?

If they weren't twin sisters, and they looked somewhat like me, I would feel close to them. But if they looked extremely alike, I would dislike them.

Fortunately, these are people from different worlds. If they were from the same world, came from the same realm, and had the same highest level of authority, the fact that these two people didn't die here would show that they have strong self-control.

The battle for the Great Dao!

But if you're not from the same world, it'll be like this: they dislike you, but are too lazy to fight you. Even though they're too lazy to fight you, they still dislike you.

"I never expected that the two of us would have such a chemistry after meeting. It was worth bringing the Halloween Queen to the bar." White Night Demon looked at Guazi excitedly from the side, almost saying "Let's fight!"

Men find it interesting when women fight, and some women think so too.

"Chen Luo, if the Halloween Queen and Yakumo Yukari were to fight, who do you think would suffer more?"

White Demon had a premonition that the Halloween Queen's meeting with Yakumo Yukari would be interesting, but she didn't expect it to be this interesting.

“Yukari Yakumo,” Chen Luo replied immediately.

"Hey, you're not bringing up your 'culture shock' theory this time?"

"This isn't a theory, it's a fact, just like how you might feel a little uncomfortable when you arrive in the Immortal Ship World. But since we're fighting in a bar, we can temporarily set aside the issue of culture shock and just look at reality."

"But realistically speaking, the Halloween Queen is still a bit stronger than Yakumo Yukari, right?" Shiroyasha even stopped eating her sunflower seeds.

White Demon felt that what Chen Luo said was very unreasonable. Why should my nemesis be worse than Yakumo Yukari?

Moreover, Shiroyasha was actually quite restrained in what he said.

Although Yukari Yakumo gained a lot of growth while traveling to other worlds, she found those huge growths but couldn't access them... such as the Root.

After all, for an ancient monster that has lived for thousands of years, three months really isn't enough time to grow much.

Therefore, at this stage, Yakumo Yukari is definitely no match for Halloween Queen, and Shiroyasha is certain of that.

"But Yukari Yakumo would choose to borrow the River God's power from me, then forbid me from using the River God's power for the Halloween Queen, and then have three Yukari Yakumo gang up on the Halloween Queen. That's why I say Yukari Yakumo is stronger. Do you have any objections?"

“…That makes perfect sense now.” White Yaksha nodded and continued eating sunflower seeds.

That makes perfect sense!

It sounds like something Yukari Yakumo would do.

It is also an essential certification mark for regular bar patrons – proficiency in Chen Luo's art.

If you encounter a problem you can't solve, don't think about giving up. First, consider whether Chen Luo can solve it.

When you encounter something interesting or fun, don't get excited right away. First, think about whether the River God's power can make a few more copies.

If you encounter something you can't understand, don't panic. Go back to the bar to calm down first.
