Their commission was suspicious.

But you two are doing this kind of thing in the Great Guardian's office.

Is this what you're supposed to do in the High Keeper's office?

"Don't misunderstand me, okay? I came to the Grand Guardian's office not for... well, there is a small reason, to get Cocolia to cooperate a little so I can unlock a Pokédex entry for her, but more importantly, to help her manage the power within her," Chen Luo said with dissatisfaction.

“Organize the forces?” Bronya frowned.

To reiterate, when Chen Luo is truly discussing serious matters, you can completely trust him.

Chen Luo's tone didn't sound like he was lying, which made Bronya somewhat worried about her mother's health.

“Here’s what happened, Bronya. You remember that ascension ceremony, right? Even though you’ve probably forgotten everything you could, you at least know that it happened, right?”

"That's right, Mother's strange behavior is related to this matter?"

"Yes. For reasons that cannot be disclosed to outsiders, Cocolia was briefly fused with the Star Core and drew upon its power. Although I resurrected her once and severed this connection, it is true that Cocolia once became the Mother of Illusion."

Clearly, the outsider Chen Luo was referring to was Topa. Although Topa wasn't the type to be a big mouth, the fewer people who knew about Cocolia's plan to rebuild the new world by manipulating the star core, the better.

"That ascension ceremony can be said to grant more to those who have a closer connection to and study of the Imaginary Tree and Imaginary Energy. Cocolia briefly became a singer with the ability to manipulate Imaginary Energy by taking the form of the Mother of Illusion. This established a very strong connection between Cocolia and the Imaginary Tree. Therefore, the insights Cocolia gained in the live broadcast just now exceeded your imagination. However, after losing her Star Core, Cocolia is unable to transform into the form of the Mother of Illusion. So, in order to prevent this enlightenment from disappearing into thin air and causing a great waste, I came to help Cocolia cultivate," Chen Luoyi said righteously.

Topa, who was listening nearby, looked completely bewildered because he hadn't seen any live stream at all.

So Topa couldn't join their conversation at all, making him feel like he was being ostracized.

"So this is why you plan to kidnap my mother? If you could, could you explain what's going on with the corroded gold coin next to her with my mother's image on it?" Bronya asked.

"Hmm... In other words, they sealed Cocolia inside the Corrupted Coin, then released it, and then spent a lot of energy to create a fake, complete version of Cocolia's illusory mother state. It's like a copy."

鶡{}转+*峮=留，*%~liu/㈡^柳@另*%~玲△罢&*⑵？㈡？ "Actually, it sounds complicated, but it's actually the same principle as the Ether Coin. It's all about copying the appearance and abilities of living beings through Ether editing capabilities."

Each person sealed within the Corruption Coin is sealed by their own darkness, not by the limited dark energy within the Corruption Coin.

The amount of darkness inherent in the Corrupted Coin is very small; what can that little bit do?

After learning various game-making methods through his erosion ability, Chen Luo just sealed Cocolia's shadow and darkness into the erosion coin.

Chen Luoneng can summon Huanlong entirely through his shadow, and can also use it for other purposes.

For example, by mixing shadows with a lot of darkness, a replica of Cocolia can be created, except that this replica has no emotions of its own.

Moreover, they are not much different in terms of strength.

After this replication process, Cocolia will have far fewer negative emotions...

Chen Luo deliberately left a little bit, because the complete absence of negative emotions is not a good thing for the Great Guardian.

The power of erosion is really useful, but it can't do what Chen Luo's other SSS-level talents can do.

However, these SSS-level talents are not in competition, but rather in cooperation and complement each other.

Because of the previous SSS-level talents, the power of erosion becomes more useful.

"Don't talk nonsense, our Ether Coins don't have that function," Topa quickly stepped forward to clarify.

Chen Luo, this product of the eroded gold coin imprint, even if he doesn't possess all the original's power, at least retains most of it. And if the Ether Coin had this technology, it would have been used for military purposes long ago, not for making games.

"Yes, yes, okay, but you can suspend me, but you have to grant me one request," Chen Luo said.

"What are your requirements? Tell me first."

When discussing such matters, it's always necessary to talk things over first.

The importance of this Ether Front to Yalilo is self-evident, and it is also part of Toppa's job.

If Chen Luo insists on participating... calling him a troublemaker would be a bit of an exaggeration, but he would definitely make the whole competition very unsettling.

"Emmm... Could I copy your shadow and make an Erosion Coin?" Chen Luo said somewhat embarrassedly.

Chen Luo especially wanted to replicate Bronya.

Because Bronya and the Mother of Illusions work wonders together!

The Mother of Illusion has a skill that can be charged up. After charging for one round, a large number of ice spikes will fall, dealing wide-area ice damage to the group and potentially freezing the enemies.

However, the downside is that it takes a long time to charge up, requiring a whole round.

However, Bronya has a skill that can directly increase our team's turn meter, allowing us to act faster...

The combination of these two skills is indeed despair-inducing.

In a serious fight, Chen Luo wouldn't need Bronya and Cocolia, but if he used his Corruption Power against certain enemies and brought down the game mode, this combination would be a sure kill!

Therefore, Chen Luo absolutely must get Bronya's character card!

"..." Topa and Bronya exchanged a glance.

……

In the end, Bronya agreed to Chen Luo's request.

Although Chen Luo didn't mention any reward for his help, Bronya wasn't ungrateful. Chen Luo had already helped her a lot, and she wouldn't refuse his request.

It would be even better if Chen Luo stopped trying to toy with his mother.

But seeing that her mother, while not explicitly welcoming it, had never explicitly forbidden it either, Bronya chose not to meddle.

On the other side, Toppa agreed to Chen Luo's request because the gift he received was too valuable. However, he made a three-point agreement beforehand, stipulating that Chen Luo must not use his Corruption Coins to bully other Etherfront players.

but……

"Why does Zhang Zhang have more screen time than me?" Topa expressed his dissatisfaction.

“That makes sense, I’ll take your advice. I’ll reduce its appearance rate as appropriate.” Chen Luo nodded.

Then Chen Luo placed Topa's Erosion Coin on the 998th Erosion Coin serial number.

The 999th is Bronya.

To prevent those collecting characters from wondering why their characters are ranked so low, Chen Luo declared beforehand that the ranking is only related to the time of character entry into the encyclopedia.

Cocolia is number 2.

Boss characters are arranged from front to back, while normal characters are arranged from back to front.

Minor monster characters? Minor monster characters don't have numbers.

I wonder if, after collecting all the characters, there will be more boss characters or more normal characters?

"How long will Mother's current condition last?" Bronya asked.

Cocolia's current posture doesn't seem to be affecting her health too much, but it's not suitable for working.

Moreover, when Bronya stands next to Cocolia now, she always feels a sense of home—cold!

"How long your mother will last is determined by her own understanding, but if you insist on asking me, it will be 6 hours, 28 minutes and 31 seconds."

"The timing... is fine." Bronya nodded.

Cocolia's current appearance is good for her, but it is clearly not suitable for her to go out and meet the public.

“Bronya, you will temporarily take over the tasks that the Great Guardian needs to handle until the transformation ends,” Cocolia said, rarely speaking up.

"Yes, Lady Cocolia."

When working, you should address people by their job title.

"Beep beep beep!" Chen Luo's communicator suddenly rang.

"Oh no, Chen Luo, Xing has been kidnapped by a mature older woman!"

Chen Luo almost lost his composure from the very first sentence uttered by March 1th.

Chapter 1937 Which is more important, Kavka or the trash can?

"She's so beautiful, I'd be willing to be fooled by her," Xing said, cupping her face in her hands.

Heaven knows where Hoshi got that Kaffa wanted poster from. Even though Keigen said he would drop the warrant for Kaffa's arrest, Hoshi still managed to steal one.

Or is it that although the arrest warrant was withdrawn, the warrant was not torn down?

Chen Luo wasn't quite sure, but that didn't matter.

The important thing is that Chen Luo's tool is now acting crazy here.

Whether from the perspective of a friend or from the perspective of a wicked capitalist who is a working-class person, Chen Luo felt that he had to teach Xing a lesson.

"Look, Chen Luo, Xing has been grinning like an idiot ever since she received a text message asking for help." March 7th stood to the side, looking helpless.

Dan Heng, who often hangs out with Xing and March 7, is not around. Because Dan Heng's identity is rather sensitive, he is withdrawn.

Of Chen Luo's three "tools" (personal assistants), only two are still able to run away, and one of them is still acting crazy while the other is trying to persuade her to stop.

Well, none of the three "tools" are usable anymore.

“Xing, don’t be fooled by this mature older woman. She’s just using you,” March 7th said.

"Why does she only use me and not others? She's interested in me!"

“You’re really… stubborn as nails. Chen Luo, you need to do something about her.” March 7th chose to ask Chen Luo for help.

As someone who watched Xing grow up and was watched by Xing grow up, Chen Luo should at least take some responsibility, right?

[Ding! You have a new request!]

"Chen Luo, you can't control me." Xing's expression hardened.

"Oh, why?"

"Because I'm going to accept a commission. Kafka needs my help to suppress the demonic body of that Blade. This is a very valuable commission, you can't stop me, can you?" Xing said seriously.

[Ding! You have a new request!]

Although Xing and Chen Luo appear to be about the same age, Xing gives Chen Luo face and treats him as a kind of parent.

After all, from birth until now, it seems that everything Xing has done has been part of Chen Luo's training plan!

“That makes sense. I think what Xing said on March 7th makes a lot of sense,” Chen Luo nodded.

"Whose side are you on anyway?!" March 7th said angrily.

One of her two teammates is tempted by a mature older woman, and the other is tempted by raw gems.

I feel very tired on March 7th.

"Actually, I think you can rest assured to let Xing go to see Kaffa, because Kaffa will not harm Xing, and you don't need to worry about Xing being tricked by Kaffa or anything like that."

"Really?"

"Really, if you don't believe me, watch me demonstrate." After whispering a few words to March 7, Chen Luo walked up to Xing.

"What's wrong?" Looking at Chen Luo's smile, Xing suddenly felt a chill in her heart.

"Star, I couldn't convince March 7th, but I can give you a choice."

"What choice?"

"You will face an extreme 2-or-1 choice: either you go see your Kaffa, or you lose your trash can."

"Huh, a trash can?"

"That's right, it's the super clean trash can that I gave you a while ago, the one that can occasionally pop out some surprises, and it can even turn into a small hanging trash can, it's super amazing!"

"Wait a minute, how can you take back what you gave me? Huh, how are you any different from those heartless parents?" Xing protested.

“I don’t know if there’s any difference, but you have to choose between the trash can and Kaffa,” Chen Luo emphasized.

"But Kaffa is still waiting for me."

"But the trash can is waiting for you too."

"Waaaaah... My trash can, my Kaffa." Hoshino held a Kaffa wanted poster in her left hand and a trash can charm in her right. She hesitated between the two.

“See? Perhaps in Xing’s heart, Kafka isn’t as important as you think, so don’t worry about her being deceived,” Chen Luo said, turning to March 7.

"...That's really a shame." March 7th's smile was a bit...strange.

Although a beautiful girl shouldn't make others choose between two options, March 7th is a little worried. If she had to choose between herself and the trash can, Hoshi would choose the trash can.

Of course, it's more likely that he's just hesitant.

But hesitating won't do either. How can a beautiful young woman like myself be inferior to a trash can?

But now we can rest assured about March 7th.

Don't worry about Xing being completely fooled by a mature older woman.
