Their commission was suspicious.

"I want to participate!" Xiao Shi raised his hand.

"You're suspended!" Chen Luo glared at Xiao Shi.

If you dare to write "My Puppet Master Father" again, I'll break your legs.

"Emmm..." Xiao Shi wanted to refute, but she didn't have much courage.

“But… Lolo, you promised me you’d have a drink with me,” Alicia reminded her.

"Go to the bar dormitory and sleep for a while. You can drink later when you wake up," Chen Luo said, gently patting Alicia's smooth, fragrant shoulder as she sat in a chair.

"I feel like I can hold on a little longer."

"obedient."

Chen Luo's expression wasn't forceful, but Alicia couldn't muster the courage to object.

And Alicia is indeed quite tired now.

"Then I'll go upstairs first. See you tonight." Alicia slowly got up, walked up the stairs, and headed to the second floor.

"See you tonight." The people in the bar waved goodbye to Alicia.

Alicia slowly walked up to the second floor.

However, when she was halfway to the dormitory on the right, Alicia stopped.

Alicia stood in the middle of the second floor, glanced at the deserted second floor, and then looked at the stairs to her left and right.

The staircase on the left leads to the attic on the 3rd floor.

The stairs on the right lead to the Valkyrie's dormitory.

Ellie touched the ground with her toes, floated up slowly, and then flew to the left.

She gently pushed the door open, only to find that she couldn't enter the attic on the third floor. Alicia then gently knocked on the door.

Although the soundproofing between the first and second floors was good, Alicia knew that Chen Luo could hear her.

The reason I flew up without making a sound was simply because I felt guilty.

"Dudududu!"

The door was closed.

"Dudududu!"

Alicia continued knocking on the door.

The door remained closed.

"Beep beep."

Alicia was still knocking on the door, her face showing no impatience, only a hint of fatigue, and a timely yawn.

"..."

The door opened.

A mischievous glint flashed in Alicia's eyes as she quickly slipped into the third-floor attic, showing no signs of fatigue whatsoever.

"Ah, I feel so tired too. I'll go to sleep then." After seeing Alicia go upstairs, Xiaoshi couldn't help but feel sleepy as well.

"..." by Chen Luo.

Sending Xiaoshi to sleep on the third floor now would be tantamount to killing Chen Luo.

"Want to go to the New World and get some fries? If you're willing to pay, I could take you in for a look, using the Origin Aura as a medium," Chen Luo asked.

Logically speaking, that world is indeed not accessible to humans right now, but as long as the source of the world is provided in sufficient quantities, there is nothing that cannot be done.

If so, it only means that the Source of the World has not given enough!

Nothing in this world is absolute!

To distract Xiao Shide, Chen Luo went all out!

"Okay!" Xiao Shi readily agreed.

[Bad news: Xiao Shi is sleepy]

[Good news: If there's something fun to do, Xiaoshi can stay awake]

Meanwhile, everyone else in the bar was looking at Chen Luo with the same kind of eyes that seemed to be looking at a hungry wolf.

Chapter 1931 Chen Luo is the biological father, and Alicia is the stepmother?

[Ding! Mission complete!] ×N

Let Chen Luo think about how many times he had heard the mission completion message just now.

By re-attaching several worlds to the Tree of Imaginary Numbers, Chen Luo fulfilled Durandal's long-cherished request, bringing the curious crowd into the new world and earning numerous rewards.

Because they were genuinely interested in the new world.

Since making a wish is free anyway, and there's excitement involved, why not watch?

(It's free anyway, might as well give it a try.)

Although Chen Luo consumed a lot of Origin Essence, he also obtained a lot of Origin Stones.

Overall, it was a huge profit.

Congratulations to myself for surpassing the 10 mark in the number of raw stones.

"This is it." Chen Luo stopped in his tracks.

"How are you feeling?" Chen Luo turned to his friends who had come with him and asked.

"Feeling? I don't feel anything. Let's make a deal, is it really impossible to remove this bubble?" Yukari Yakumo gently poked the soft but completely unbreakable balloon in front of her with her finger.

Now, everyone except Chen Luo, including Xiao Shi, is enveloped in a bubble about the size of a person, without exception.

From a distance, there are more than twenty bubbles of various sizes, which look rather gaudy.

"This bubble is meant to protect you, and also to protect this world. This world is not yet fully developed, so it cannot be contaminated by any external factors. I'm not saying you are sources of some kind of virus, but each of you is quite powerful, and the strong will possess certain inherent qualities."

“This trait will influence the world, although it may have a positive influence. But it’s best to leave the world to Alicia to arrange herself. I don’t want to scribble on someone else’s painting.” Chen Luo crossed his arms.

In fact, in this world where Chen Luo's World Tree condensed into fruit and grew on the Imaginary Tree, Chen Luo's authority was actually lower than that of Alicia.

Because Alicia is the origin goddess of this world, while Chen Luo, from an official standpoint, does not hold any position in this world.

If Alicia insists that this world is a gift from Chen Luo, then it's not entirely impossible.

If this fruit were to grow and ripen on Chen Luo's World Tree, this world would naturally obey Chen Luo's commands, but...

To use a rather inhuman analogy, Chen Luo is the biological father who neither gives birth to nor raises his children, while Alicia is the stepmother who is responsible for raising them.

However, since everyone who comes to this world will, barring any unforeseen circumstances, become Chen Luo's Paradise Dolls, in a sense, Alicia manages the world, while Chen Luo manages the people of this world.

Moreover, after Alicia learned about this, she did not mistreat Chen Luo, but instead shared her permissions with him.

Specifically, this manifests as...

In a place Chen Luo couldn't see—above his head—there was a crown woven from hundreds of flowers. But this crown was under Chen Luo's control and remained invisible... though Alicia could see it.

This is proof of the power that the world bestowed upon Alicia after she became the Primordial God.

After Alicia gave the flower crown to Chen Luo, Chen Luo was able to decorate this world as freely as Alicia.

Even without this crown, Chen Luo, as a contributor who shaped the outer shell of this world, could still exert a strong influence on it.

The difference between her and Alicia is that one willingly obeys the world, while the other forces the world to obey.

[It sounds more like a biological father and stepmother.]

"..."

Even without constructing an outer shell, Chen Luo could still manipulate the world simply by utilizing the distortion of the erosion ability and the domination of the domination ability.

Chen Luo travels to a new world that is not fully mature or has only recently matured. He can also use these two characteristics to manipulate and transform the world like a puppet on a string.

This is why Chen Luo insisted on adding an indestructible outer shell to this world, because he was afraid that other extraterrestrials would do the same and interfere with his world.

Oh, no, it should be said now that it's Alicia and Chen Luo's world.

Q: When does a person start to dislike their own flaws?

A: When you see it in someone else.

Chen Luo never hesitates to assume the worst about people from other worlds.

"So now you understand why the world hates adventurers from the Dimensional Sea so much, right?"

"..."

Chen Luo understood.

He had painstakingly created a world and raised it like a son and daughter, but suddenly an outsider acted recklessly in this world. Even Chen Luo would be angry.

So they simply stopped letting anyone in!

That makes sense.

"So, what does this bubble mean in terms of protection for us...?"

"It means that this bubble is for your protection," Chen Luo said.

"...Hearing your words is like hearing a lecture."

"If you didn't have this bubble built from the essence of the source, and you appeared in this world so openly, the world would try to assimilate you. You would go to the mature world, and the mature world wouldn't do that."

"But the world is like a child who hasn't grown up yet, wanting to put everything in his mouth, and my job is to watch him and prevent him from swallowing all sorts of messy things."

"Otherwise, do you think I wanted to make these bubbles for you? These bubbles are really expensive." A hint of pain flashed in Chen Luo's eyes.

Chen Luo brought in 28 people, which took seven strands of his root essence.

Adding to the cost Chen Luo incurred in having the world consciousness crown Alicia and elevate her to godhood, Chen Luo now has very little of his original essence left.

But a loss is definitely out of the question. Chen Luo brought these people into this world, and the raw stones they provided to him, after deducting the cost of bringing them in, could even allow him to hold another godhood ceremony.

The premise is that Chen Luo has that many World Fruits.

In comparison, fostering the Gold and Silver Aincrad cost even more, a full half of the World Source.

Chen Luo didn't understand how the world consciousness calculated prices, but at least he didn't lose money.

"Can I take this bubble with me before I leave?"

"No, you have to leave this bubble in this world."

"Sigh, why?"

"Theoretically speaking, since you made your wishes, I obtained the Primal Stones, and then used those Primal Stones to create these bubbles, you should indeed be able to take these bubbles away..."

"That……"

"Because the world has just been born and needs nourishment. As people who have watched it grow up, how can you not give a gift?" Chen Luo pointed and said matter-of-factly.

"..." The group exchanged glances.

If Chen Luo says that, then everyone will indeed have nothing to say.

Besides, although Chen Luo obtained the raw stone, no one really felt like they had spent anything. Getting a free trip was enough; wanting to get this bubble for free... well, forget it.

Those who become regulars at bars generally understand what it means to say: I can grant your wishes for free, but you can't take it for granted.

Everyone has wishes, but I've made your wish come true. You can't be ungrateful, can you?

Chen Luo is free to receive rewards for helping others fulfill their wishes. How to express his gratitude is the responsibility of the person whose wish was granted.

The problem is that Chen Luo hasn't asked anyone for help yet.

I can't help, I absolutely can't help.

So some people in the bar were actually quite envious of the Train Trio for getting the "tool guy" sticker, since they could help Chen Luo after being helped by him, and at the same time get a considerable reward.

After all, even someone like Yakumo Yukari, a shameless youkai sage who has lived for thousands of years, would feel embarrassed to keep taking advantage of others.

The key issue is that Yukari Yakumo always feels like she owes Chen Luo a huge debt of karma, and she feels uneasy if she doesn't repay it.

After all, Gensokyo was Yukari Yakumo's lifelong obsession, and Chen Luo helped Yukari Yakumo achieve it.

However, Yukari Yakumo hasn't found an opportunity to repay the debt.
