Their commission was suspicious.

But things are different now. Even without furniture expertise, Chen Luo can still wield a sword very skillfully, which means that he can already be called a master swordsman.

According to reports, Chen Luo has taken another step closer to becoming a true "happy and stylish man."

Only by mastering swordsmanship can Chen Luo possibly break through to the next level and become a swordsmanship master or grandmaster.

besides……

[Introduction to Cold Weapons]

[Skilled with long spear]

[Melee Combat Basics]

[Proficient in boxing techniques]

[Tai Xu Sword Qi] (Proficient)

This training method, while brutal, is undeniably fast-paced.

Moreover, this also means that Chen Luo and the Herrscher of Time spent a hundred days together, except that most of the time the Herrscher of Time was training and hunting down Chen Luo.

As it turns out, the Herald of Knowledge's obsession with making Chen Luo master the Taixu Sword God was far more persistent than Chen Luo himself wanted to master it.

Moreover, human potential is truly limitless, especially under the pressure of death.

It's a pity that the Mind Essence is easy to learn but difficult to master, and Chen Luo is a boy, so the highest he can reach is Dustless. If Chen Luo's Mind Essence reaches the "Great Void", then Chen Luo's Great Void Sword Qi level will rise to [Mastery].

In summary, Chen Luo learned one and a half of the five elements of the Taixu Sword Qi.

Half a heart, half a soul, and half a form.

The first two require a breakthrough opportunity, while the last one is simply due to insufficient practice time.

That's right, even 100 days of practice is still not enough time. After all, Chen Luo isn't Kiana, and 100 days isn't enough to graduate. And that's only because Chen Luo has good talent.

Kiana? That's just cheating.

The thought that Kiana could use the Taixu Sword God after only a few dozen days of practice made Chen Luo extremely envious.

At this moment, Chen Luo was looking expectantly at the Herald of Knowledge, who was sitting at the table with a glass of wine in his hand, about to drink it.

It's important to make a good cocktail, but it's even more important to be recognized by people you value.

"Pfft!" The Herrscher of Knowledge, who had just taken a sip of the pale green liquid, spat it out.

"Chen Luo! Why does this wine taste like bitter melon?!" The entire tavern was instantly engulfed by the roar of the Herrscher of Knowledge.

Chapter 30 Theresa: I heard someone talking about bitter melon juice

Since only Chen Luo can attack others within this tavern, and others cannot attack Chen Luo, the Lawbringer cannot defeat Chen Luo here.

Even so, Chen Luo felt like his neck was about to break, about to be shaken off.

"You bastard, you tricked me into drinking bitter melon juice? Don't you know that stuff tastes awful?"

“I know, but good medicine tastes bitter, and you, Immortal Chiyuan, should know this better than I do. Although bitter melon is bitter, it has extremely high nutritional value,” Chen Luo explained.

"Then why aren't you drinking?"

"Nonsense, of course it's because that bitter melon juice is so awful, who would want to drink it?" Chen Luo said, adopting a matter-of-fact attitude.

"So you're going to let me drink? You heartless bastard!" The Herald of Knowledge said, pinching Chen Luo's ear.

"But aren't you the Lawgiver of Knowledge? You're omnipotent. How come you can't even drink a bitter melon juice?"

"Yes, I can indeed change my consciousness and make myself feel that bitter melon juice tastes good, but who would like to drink that rubbish except Theresa? Bitter melon juice should be humanely destroyed!" The Herrscher of Consciousness continued to yell at Chen Luo.

Upon hearing that the Herrscher of Knowledge could indeed drink bitter melon juice, Chen Luo became even more envious of the Herrscher of Knowledge's core powers.

"I think I heard bitter melon juice? Are any of you talking about bitter melon juice?" A small head suddenly peeked out from the tavern entrance.

Shi Zhilu and Chen Luo looked in that direction and were instantly stunned.

"Theresa?" The Herrscher of Knowledge was dumbfounded.

Goodness, is Theresa's summoning spell bitter melon juice?

It was truly unexpected that Theresa Theresa would come to him, and even travel across the world to be by his side.

"Oh, it's Fu Hua. You're here too. It's really strange that such a small tavern suddenly appeared at St. Freya Academy. I felt it was a bit eerie at first, but seeing you here makes me feel much more at ease. But why does your outfit look so odd?"

Theresa breathed a sigh of relief the moment she saw the Herrscher of Knowledge, and then she completely stepped inside the tavern.

"Hmm, Theresa, you...you're not afraid of me?" The Herrscher of Knowledge looked at Theresa after releasing Chen Luo.

"Scared? Who? Me? Why should I be scared? And if anyone should be scared, it should be you, right? As a student, coming here to drink is just too much," Theresa said, puffing out her cheeks.

"..." Upon hearing this astonishing statement, the Herrscher of Knowledge looked at Theresa in surprise and stepped forward to examine her from head to toe.

Did Kiana kick Theresa in the head? How come she doesn't recognize herself as the Herrscher of Knowledge?

unless……

“Theresa, I have a question for you…” The Herrscher of Knowledge took two steps back and spoke.

“Call me Dean! Of course, you can call me Theresa when you don’t know me.” Theresa said, hands on her hips and looking up.

"Hmm, Headmistress, how's Kiana doing lately?" the Herrscher of Knowledge asked without any awkwardness.

"Hmm, Kiana? Why are you starting to pay attention to this? I can tell you about it. Siegfried, that old scoundrel, took his daughter away, and I still haven't found Kiana. That girl Kiana, living with such an unreliable father, must be having a tough time, right?" Hearing the Herrscher of Knowledge mention this, Theresa stomped her foot in anger.

"Have you been having any worries lately?"

"According to the intelligence from Destiny, there seem to be signs of Anti-Entropy members active in Changkong City. We don't know what they're up to."

"Oh...that's really troublesome." Hearing Theresa say this, the Herrscher of Knowledge's smile became more and more obvious, even giving the impression that she wanted to burst into wild laughter.

“Let’s not talk about that. You mentioned bitter melon juice earlier, right? What’s up with this bar? Does it sell bitter melon juice?” Theresa looked around, her little nose twitching slightly, before her eyes fell on the pale green liquid on the table.

"This tastes like the finest bitter melon juice!"

"Ahem, here's the thing, this bar seems to be a place that connects different worlds. For example, the man next to me is the best bard in Teyvat. And I just happened to come here." Hearing Theresa's question, the Herrscher of Knowledge quickly used her Herrscher of Knowledge powers to regulate her emotions.

I can't laugh right now, at least not right now.

"And in this bar, as long as your desire is strong enough, you can have whatever kind of bitter melon juice you want." While explaining to Theresa, the Lawbringer didn't forget to bring in business for Chen Luo.

"Oh, is that amazing? Then I'll have a cup of the same bitter melon juice." Theresa said, pointing to the cup of bitter melon juice that the Herrscher of Knowledge had finished drinking.

[Ding! You have a new commission.]

At the same time, Chen Luo received a commission.

[The Best Bitter Melon Juice]: Please prepare a bitter melon juice for Theresa that is the same as the one for Herrscher of Knowledge.

Reward: 30 Primogems

Difficulty: One star

“No problem.” Store manager Chen Luo nodded immediately.

Then Chen Luo immediately returned to the bar and began to prepare bitter melon juice for Theresa.

This is a much bigger business than Barbatos' business.

After all, Barbatos's regular reward is only 20 Primogems, but it has been doubled to 40.

Chen Luo understood why Theresa's bitter melon juice contained more raw stones than Barbatos's wine.

Because Barbatos didn't think Chen Luo could actually make a wine brewed from the wind from the beginning, his expectations weren't high.

The so-called entrusted tasks are based on the strength of the desire; the stronger the desire, the more you will be given.

However, because he didn't have high expectations but received an excessive reward, Wendy made up for it, increasing the reward to 40 after exceeding the target.

Of course, besides that, the reason this bitter melon juice is so expensive is because Chen Luo added something to it.

This bitter melon juice used three portions of Chen Luo's ingredients, which is equivalent to 0.3 raw stones.

Chen Luo went to great lengths to prevent the Lawbringer from discovering that this was a cup of bitter melon juice.

Therefore, the quality of this bitter melon juice is actually very high.

"Here you go!" A moment later, a glass of bitter melon juice that didn't look like bitter melon juice at all was placed in front of Theresa.

Theresa took a sip of the bitter melon juice through the straw, and a happy smile instantly appeared on her face.

"Delicious! It's definitely top-quality bitter melon juice!" Theresa exclaimed instantly.

[Ding! Mission complete. Theresa's favorability has increased.]

"A Luo, come here." Chen Luo, who had just finished his mission, saw the Herrscher of Knowledge who had somehow appeared in the corner of the first floor and was beckoning to him.

"Okay, you two keep drinking, I'll go over there for a bit." Chen Luo said to the two guests, Theresa and Wendy, before walking to a corner.

"You go about your business. As for me, I'm fine as long as there's wine to drink." Wendy nodded.

As for Theresa, she didn't hear what Chen Luo said at all; instead, she was immersed in the delicious taste of the bitter melon juice.

Seeing Theresa in this state, Wendy curiously picked up a straw and put it into the oversized wine glass.

Does drinking alcohol through a straw taste better?

Chapter 31 Reversed Timeline

"What do you want?" Chen Luo asked the Herald of Knowledge after walking to a corner.

"Alright, stop playing dumb. You must have noticed something from those few words you just exchanged, right?" The Herald of Knowledge rolled his eyes at Chen Luo.

"You mean you not only traveled through space, but also through time?"

"Yes. Do you remember how you described me in your mission?" the Herrscher of Knowledge prompted.

"Just got scammed by your own mother?"

"boom!"

The Lawbringer of Knowledge punched Chen Luo on the head.

In the eyes of the Lawbringer, Chen Luo simply wanted to get beaten up.

"Ahem, let's talk this out, don't hit me. I remember it was: The Herrscher of Knowledge was swept into a spacetime tunnel by a spacetime turbulence and was seriously injured." Chen Luo, who had been punched, became much more obedient.

"Yes, that's it. Although I didn't know at first that the gray thing was a spacetime turbulence, when I was sucked into a black hole, I did feel like past events flashed before my eyes, and I even saw the scene of Kiana and me fighting in Mount Taixu. At first I didn't pay attention, but now I think that was a sign that I was traveling through time." The Herrscher of Knowledge slapped her thigh hard and said.

"Ouch. Next time, can you slap your own thigh?" Chen Luo rubbed his thigh.

"Next time for sure, next time for sure."

"So, why did you call me here?"

“I remember that special abilities cannot be used on other people inside the tavern without your permission, right? But it’s okay if I have your authorization,” the Herrscher of Knowledge said, looking into Chen Luo’s eyes.

"Yeah, what do you want to do?"

“Of course, we need to modify Theresa’s consciousness. If she goes back and talks to the old relic and finds out that she didn’t come to this tavern, wouldn’t everything be exposed?” The Herrscher of Knowledge said matter-of-factly.

"But I can tell you in advance that if you remove your permission to attack her, then her permission to attack you will also be unlocked," Chen Luo reminded the Herrscher of Knowledge.

"Don't worry about that. I'm not going to beat her up. I'm just changing her subconscious so that she will never mention this little tavern or seeing her there to the old man. It's a very small change, and he won't even notice it," the Herrscher of Knowledge said, waving her hand.

"Well, that's possible, but don't you plan to go back to your own world right now?" Chen Luo nodded and then asked.

"What? Are you planning to kick me out?" The Herald of Knowledge clenched his fist.

"No, no, no, you can stay at my house for as long as you want. After all, we're family now."

Raising another daughter is no big deal; at most, it will cost a little more in living expenses.

"Generally speaking, if someone like you who has traveled through worlds sees a glimmer of hope to return to their own world, wouldn't they immediately seize it?" Chen Luo hesitated for a moment before voicing his question.

"But why should I return to my own world?" Unexpectedly, the Herrscher of Knowledge stroked his chin and asked this question.

"Of course it's for...for..." Chen Luo originally thought this was a very easy question to answer, but when the words came to his lips, he didn't know how to begin, or rather, he couldn't find a reason at all.

Yes, why would someone who understands the laws of nature want to return to their original world?

Family? Friends? Lover? Apprentice?

I'm sorry, none of these knowledgeable individuals possess these laws.
