Their commission was suspicious.

Other S-level talents follow the path of extremely rare hidden professions, while Liu Wenxuan has no profession, but has an absurd number of base points, all of which he has put into his basic attributes.

The initial exploration was certainly a headache, but it also meant that Liu Wenxuan could switch to other, more valuable and powerful systems at any time.

Because the stat points are allocated too evenly, development is slow in the early stages, but it becomes very powerful in the later stages.

"Phew... Although I've already learned Ripple, I still need to figure out how to develop and apply Ripple Qi Gong myself." After getting used to Ripple Qi Gong, Liu Wenxuan breathed a sigh of relief, quite satisfied with his progress.

Stomping on a large number from more than 10 meters away is nothing to brag about for an S-level talent, but this was just the result of Liu Wenxuan resting and practicing his Ripple Qi Gong.

The future is expected.

In the future, I might be able to combine Ripple Qi Gong with my own development path and create a skill that can ignore the opponent's defense and cause true damage through shock.

Berserkers aren't scary; what's truly terrifying is a berserker who's both berserk and skilled in martial arts.

"Good luck. Anyway, I've already taken the silver version of you with me. There's no place for you in the spiritual energy plane for now. Just stay put in this world." Chen Luo said.

"Mm." Liu Wenxuan nodded.

However, Liu Wenxuan actually quite wanted to find a body double.

If Liu Wenxuan remembered correctly... he seemed to have seen the insect arrow hanging at the top in the group network.

It seems that Kars collected them "casually" while traveling the world.

The ordinary insect arrows were left behind; instead, gold and silver insect arrows were brought back. This was because Chen Luo had instructed Kas not to act recklessly in this world, and if possible, not to disrupt the plot. Therefore, Kas didn't even bother to see the old man beforehand.

However, neither of these two types of insect arrows were very effective, probably because Stands are indeed quite unique.

Despite not being particularly formidable in terms of physical fitness and strength, he possesses a variety of abilities that can be described as defying the heavens.

Things like time stopping, while somewhat overpowered, are not without defensive measures. But aren't there even more overpowered Stands out there?

"Want a stand-in?" Chen Luo noticed the sparkling bubbles above Liu Wenxuan's head.

"Yes." Liu Wenxuan nodded without hesitation.

Who wouldn't want a stand-in?

Now that Liu Wenxuan possesses Ripple Qi Gong and Blood Qi, normal combat poses no challenge for him.

However, while no one can defeat a martial artist, they are somewhat inadequate in dealing with strange phenomena.

Especially when Chen Luo forbids Liu Wenxuan from using any props or special abilities.

And there is an even more important reason: that is, the Stand does not take up the space of talent in the soul.

For the bar's patrons, especially those from the spiritual realm, while acquiring other talents might limit their own talent development, Chen Luo's peeling ability can help them peel off non-innate talents that were temporarily added for temporary needs.

This makes non-innate talents a kind of add-on.

But this means that Chen Luo will have to be bothered frequently.

But a stand-in is different from a talent.

A stand-in doesn't seem to occupy the weight of the soul, because it is another manifestation and projection of the spiritual world, equivalent to a real accessory.

Therefore, talents and Stands are compatible, and the existence of a Stand will not affect the growth of one's innate talent.

"Then go and try your best to collect Stand users. Especially the Stand users of the Stands you want," Chen Luo said.

"Then put their substitutes on me?" Liu Wenxuan frowned.

"Keep dreaming. You'll definitely find it awkward to use someone else's soul and spirit derivative because the soul won't fit. However... while the insect arrows you obtain can't randomly awaken a Stand, they can help you awaken a Stand of that type after fully analyzing it."

Chen Luo spoke while playing with the fern stand that had been separated from Miss Holly and sealed by the power of the Herrscher of Knowledge.

This is a reminder from the humanized plugin after Chen Luo obtained this substitute.

"Dior will do too?" Liu Wenxuan's eyes lit up.

“Dior is fine too,” Chen Luo nodded.

Because it is a derivative of the soul, the Stand can probably be used in most worlds. Although the effect may be affected by the change of environment, Liu Wenxuan's physical fitness and mental strength are much stronger than Dio's. At the very least, he can stop time for 1 second, right? This is enough for Liu Wenxuan, a martial arts master.

"Hehehe! Dior, here I come!"

Chapter 2088 Xiao Shi: What were you two doing in the bar behind my back?!

"Although Star Platinum would be fine, firstly, Stands are intimate things, and the more complex the Stand, the longer it takes to analyze. It is indeed a bit presumptuous to ask someone to entrust their Stand to you for research." After watching the effects of Ripple in the training ground, Chen Luo and the others returned to the house.

"Considering that you took her substitute so she wouldn't be in so much pain... it's not impossible." Jotaro Kujo adjusted his hat and glanced at his mother lying beside him.

"No, other shapes of Stands are fine, but when I analyze this humanoid Stand, I always feel like it's staring at me, and I'm scared." Chen Luo shook his head.

Chen Luo knew that Jotaro Kujo wanted to lend him his Stand to repay a debt of gratitude, but Chen Luo refused.

Being stared at by a humanoid stand-in made Chen Luo feel a little creeped out.

"Besides... your Star Platinum hasn't awakened any special abilities yet, has it? Instead of waiting for your Star Platinum to develop, why not just take Dio's ready-made Stand?" Chen Luo added the most important second point.

"Is that so? Alright then." Jotaro Kujo nodded and didn't insist.

However, Jotaro Kujo also learned some information from Chen Luo, such as that Dio's Stand ability is time stop, and his own Stand ability is also time stop, but because the time to awaken his Stand is too short, he has not yet fully figured it out.

"Then what about mine?" the old man asked, summoning his purple hermit.

"Oh, yours has already been analyzed, so you don't need to." Chen Luo waved his hand.

"Isn't it true that the more complex a Stand is, the more troublesome it is to analyze?" the old man asked, somewhat puzzled.

The old man instantly realized that it was the analysis he made when Chen Luo peeled off his stand-in, but didn't it only stay in Chen Luo's hand for a few seconds at that time?

"But the problem is that your stand-in isn't complicated at all."

"..." The old man was speechless.

[Old man, your Stand is the most useless thing ever!]

"So... the greatest help you can give me is to capture any evil Stand users you encounter on the road and hand them over to me," Chen Luo said.

"Won't your analysis of the Stand affect the person himself?" Avdol suddenly asked.

"No." Chen Luo shook his head.

"Do you need to analyze my Stand?"

“Sure… Is there anything you want?” Chen Luo asked.

“No, helping to rescue Mrs. Holly is enough,” Avdel shook his head.

“That won’t do. I’ve already gotten what I wanted by helping Mrs. Holly. As for the analysis of the Stand, that’s a separate matter. And you too, if you still don’t mind letting me analyze your Star Platinum after you’ve truly awakened to its abilities, you can make your request. Don’t lend it to me for free just because I saved someone. I’m not poor.” Chen Luo turned to Jotaro Kujo and said.

"……Um."

"Besides, I gain power by helping others fulfill their wishes, so please don't mind troubling me. If you really feel bad about it, just give me some extra compensation."

Chen Luo revealed his trump card to everyone without any hesitation.

Anyway, Chen Luo isn't the genie in Aladdin's lamp, so he can't refuse any wish people make.

If Chen Luo doesn't like someone, he can simply refuse to fulfill that person's wish and beat them up instead.

The genie refused to grant your wish and beat you up instead.

“The Red Magician… is quite a powerful stand-in. Here, I’ll lend you this.” Chen Luo took out a talisman and handed it to Abudel.

"what is this?"

"A Soul-Returning Talisman," Chen Luo said.

"The healing cocoon I gave you allows you to recover quickly even when you're on your last breath, and this return talisman allows you to revive once even if you're completely dead," Chen Luo said.

"Although I do possess resurrection magic, I cannot guarantee that you will have companions nearby who can notify me in time after you die. Therefore, this talisman can be considered a second life. I hope you will cherish it... I'm not giving it to you; I'm lending it to you. If you use it, great; if you don't, you must return it to me," Chen Luo emphasized.

"This resurrection item is quite precious to me."

"Such a precious gift... thank you." The value of this resurrection talisman was so great that it was hard to accept, but considering the dangers of this journey, the possibility of his companion dying was unacceptable, so Avdol accepted the talisman anyway.

He then had Chen Luo temporarily remove his Red Magician skin.

"When are you leaving? I want to come too." Just as everyone was waiting for the loading screen to appear, Kakyoin expressed his desire to join the team.

"You're going too? Why?" Jotaro Kujo asked.

"It's strange, I can't understand why I wanted to go with you guys."

"..."

"Perhaps it's thanks to you destroying the flesh buds that Dio was controlling that I was able to regain my senses, that's all." Hana Kyouin tapped the bandage still wrapped around his forehead.

"You will surely encounter many obstacles on your journey... I have a few brocade pouches here, I hope you will keep them safe." Chen Luo took out several brocade pouches when he saw that everyone was in high spirits.

"A magic pouch? Is this the legendary magic pouch strategy from the East?" The old man became interested.

Since Holly's body double was removed and her life was no longer in danger, her trip to Egypt was not too urgent. Moreover, she had additional help, so the old man's mood was not too heavy.

"Yes."

When can it be opened?

"Anytime is fine."

Even now?

Even now.

Upon hearing this, the old man, rather mischievous, directly opened one of the many brocade pouches that Chen Luo had given him.

[Look at you, my foot!]

"..." Looking at the contents of the note in the brocade pouch, the old man honestly felt that this was not reliable.

But since it's Chen Luo's kind intention, let's take it.

Then the old man opened another brocade pouch. Jotaro Kujo, watching from the side, wanted to punch someone.

"Hmm, Chen Luo, what does 'Grey Tower' mean?" the old man asked loudly, waving the note in his hand.

“That’s the name of the Stand user you’re about to encounter,” Chen Luo replied.

"The next...Stand user?"

“That’s right, I, Kal’tsit, know everything… even the future.”

"..." by Liu Wenxuan.

While it can't be said that you've completely damaged Kal'tsit's reputation, does Kal'tsit know that you're doing this to her?

"Oh, all done." After seeing that the analysis of the Red Magician was complete, Chen Luo returned the Red Magician to Abudel.

“I now have two stand-ins here, one is the Hermit’s Son, and the other is the Red Magician. Which one are you interested in?” Chen Luo turned to look at Liu Wenxuan.

"The Red Magician is strong, but fire abilities are not uncommon in the Paradise Shop..." Liu Wenxuan shook his head.

What? The Purple Hermit? What's that? I've never heard of it.

Anyway, Liu Wenxuan doesn't want it.

Of course, we shouldn't underestimate the Purple Hermit. To be honest, although Liu Wenxuan doesn't want him, there might actually be quite a few people in the Paradise who are interested in him.

Because the Purple Hermit makes finding people really convenient.

There are no weak Stands, only weak Stand users.

"Oh, right, even with the golden insect arrows, each person can only have one substitute at a time," Chen Luo reminded him.

"Then I'll think about it carefully." Liu Wenxuan calmed down instantly.

“However, it’s not impossible to change your Stand, but because there will be a loss of certain spiritual power after the Stand is removed, a lot of nutrition is needed to replenish it. So you need to eat a lot of soul crystals to make up for the missing nutrition and change to a second Stand. Not only is it time-consuming and resource-intensive, but frequently changing Stands is not good for your body. So think it over carefully before choosing your Stand,” Chen Luo said.

Since a Stand is related to mental power and soul, it can be compensated for with an omnipotent soul crystal.

Otherwise, why would soul crystals be so expensive in the Dimensional Sea? Of course, it's because they're omnipotent!

"Being able to switch to a stand-in is already pretty impressive, okay?" the old man retorted.

"They're not as powerful as you guys who think you've awakened your Stand abilities. So don't underestimate yourselves."

Most people still hope to have a unique substitute of their own.

"And you don't need to worry about too many Stand users causing problems. The Stand users I awakened with the Insect Arrow won't appear in this world, ensuring its stability," Chen Luo said, seemingly sensing the old man's concerns.

"That's good!"

……
