Their commission was suspicious.

Chapter 2099 Chen Luo: I didn't want to either... but she gave me just too much!

This was the first commission Chen Luo received that didn't involve any raw stones, yet he couldn't refuse it at all.

Because the five bubbles floating in front of the source are the highest-grade materials used to cultivate the World Tree.

Moreover, the root cause requires fewer things.

She just wanted to have some fun.

An elderly, lonely man, was getting bored of staying at home. Because of his friends' excessive concern, he could only stay in his home, listlessly basking in the little sunshine he had...

As a responsible and caring young person in the new century, it shouldn't be too much to ask him to find something to cheer him up, right?

"How about this?" Chen Luo pulled out a game helmet that simulated the universe.

“...So, you’re in this special state right now. If you ever get out of this special state and take this thing to the Root, and it can hold out for even a second without melting, I’ll call you godfather.” The Root looked at the simulated universe helmet with disdain.

"..." Chen Luo remembered that his simulated universe was indeed a special item, but the helmet was not.

Special items can withstand the pressure of the root and will not disappear within the root.

But ordinary items won't work.

This is a trash can even more powerful than the Dimensional Ocean.

In the Dimensional Sea, although dangers are everywhere, their true nature is not to kill people, but their underlying purpose is indeed to do so.

So it's not that Genyuan isn't interested in Chen Luo's gift, but rather that Genyuan can't play with it at all, which makes him even more upset.

"Then this..."

“This is a good idea.” Genyuan’s eyes lit up.

"This won't do." Chen Luo put his Friendship Revolver away.

"Tch, I don't really want it that much. You're such a hypocrite..."

"...Big sister, the arrogant version has been discontinued."

"Don't call me 'Big Sister,' call me... You go find your things first, let me think about what would be appropriate for you to call me." Genyuan fell into deep thought.

"..." Chen Luo felt that the source's thought process seemed a bit strange, but considering that the source had given so much, Chen Luo could ignore it.

It wasn't that Chen Luo was unwilling to lend Genyuan his Friendship Revolver, but rather that Chen Luo suddenly realized that Genyuan didn't even have a physical form, so how could he play with the Friendship Revolver?

"How about this? A forced version of Truth or Dare, but you don't seem to have any playmates."

"...Then why are you asking? You'd better come up with something that can amuse yourself." Gengen rolled his eyes at Chen Luo with Ryougi Shiki's appearance.

"Let me think..." Chen Luo did have many interesting ideas, but the requirements for the root cause were simply too demanding.

...mainly because the only things that can withstand the root of the attack are the random items in Chen Luo's possession.

However, most of Chen Luo's random items require a specific target to use.

Like the Mind Hammer and the Xuanyuan Sword.

"Ah, I've got it!" Chen Luo took out a conch shell.

If there's anything that can help relieve boredom, then this conch shell is probably the most effective way to do so in Chen Luo's memory.

The most outrageous time for the conch shell was when Xiao Jiu shouted it nearly 3 million times before getting the correct answer once.

It's perfect for killing time.

Just ...

"While this thing can certainly kill time, don't you find it boring to ask about it?" Genyuan asked rhetorically after listening to Chen Luo's introduction of the magical conch.

"hiss……"

indeed.

This magical conch shell is called the Magical Nonsense Conch. It can always give you an answer, but it is often an ambiguous one.

To solve the problem of boredom, a prop was lent to the source, but this created a new problem—what to do when bored while asking the conch shell questions?

In its current form, because it has no physical body, it cannot play games or even pick up items.

The magical, nonsensical conch shell was fine; all it needed to do was make sounds and ask questions… The tape recorder wouldn’t work; Chen Luo had already tried that.

"...Do you watch anime?" Chen Luo suddenly asked.

After thinking for a long time, Chen Luo suddenly came up with a brilliant idea.

"Hmm?" Genyuan tilted his head.

"If an ordinary object is thrown into the Root and then decomposed, will the knowledge contained within it flow into the Root?"

"Well, what happened?"

"What about this thing? It's called a Light Cone. It's a technology that creates memories from past events and encapsulates them into slices. I can record some animations into it and then throw it into the Root. That way, you can see what's recorded inside."

“That’s possible…” Genyuan’s eyes lit up.

While the root can instantly comprehend all knowledge, the root can also choose not to comprehend it instantly.

"So... it's settled then?" Chen Luo asked tentatively.

"But I'm not interested in anime or anything like that, I want a live-action version!"

"Huh? What does that mean?"

"I'm already tired of those original anime. After all, I'm connected to the internet, specifically the world consciousness's dedicated network. So I've basically seen all the anime you mentioned, and even the ones you haven't heard of."

"This is tricky..." Although Chen Luo had considered this possibility, he thought that speaking it out first, even if he was refuted, was better than having no chance at all.

"But aren't you a time traveler? Don't tell me you'll arrive in a world and have no impact on it at all? And don't you get rewards by fulfilling wishes? What about all the wishes you've fulfilled? I'm very interested in those memories."

"Huh?" Chen Luo was somewhat surprised by Genyuan's rather interested expression.

"Why are you so surprised? When you watch anime, don't you feel that some plots are too regrettable? Haven't you thought about how I could go on a rampage if I traveled to that world? When you traveled to that world, didn't you actually do just that? In that case, isn't it reasonable for me to be interested in these memories?" Genyuan asked, tilting his head.

"Like the final lesson in Honkai Impact 3, it was indeed touching enough and it was the beginning of Kiana's true transformation, but I hope the ending can be even better."

"Like the Fontaine storyline in Teyvat, rather than having the final battle interrupted halfway through and then ending peacefully, I'd much rather someone show up and beat that damn whale so badly that even its own mother wouldn't recognize it! Who cares who its master is, if its master tries to stop us, we'll beat its master up too!"

"As for what trouble this might cause, that's something to consider later... Anyway, that's what I think. After all, thinking about it isn't illegal, is it?"

"really……"

After all, nowadays adults are thinking about how to smash the Earth with one punch every day.

Is it not okay to just think about it?

Could I really punch the Earth to pieces?

“However… while I can’t do such a thing, you can. Of course, I’m not referring specifically to this particular case, but to similar situations.” At this point, the source of her agitation suddenly shifted to Chen Luo.

"Huh? But... I've never been to Fontainebleau."

"That's not important. What's important is that I want to see an ending that's different from the original endings of the anime and games I've seen before. And if nothing unexpected happens, with your special talent of being able to get rewards by fulfilling other people's wishes, you'll definitely mess up these plots. I'm very interested in the plot after it's messed up."

"Isn't that a bit rude? I tried my best to keep the plot going, okay? It's just... sometimes things inevitably conflict between the plot and our wishes," Chen Luo said apologetically.

“Yes, so I plan to see the different endings of the storyline caused by your recklessness, and what kind of trouble you cause when you grant other people's wishes. These are all things that the world cannot predict, and things that I don't know. So I'm very interested.” Genyuan blinked.

“…Okay.” Under Gen Yuan’s expectant gaze, Chen Luo nodded.

Anyway, the root cause isn't that we need any particularly excessive props.

It's just a light cone. As a Herald of Knowledge, Chen Luo can copy and encapsulate memories from his past to create light cones at any time after analyzing how they are made.

It's nothing valuable.

Moreover, the sources given are far too numerous.

“However, since I haven’t considered this kind of thing before, I don’t have many light cones in this regard. But there are some of my friends’ dark history. Would you like to take a look?” Chen Luo asked, casually taking out a few light cones.

After Chen Luo learned how to make the extremely convenient light cone, he frequently made light cones, the content of which... the bar patrons might want to punch him if they saw it.

“Sure, I don’t mind. As long as there’s something to watch. Or rather… I’m very interested.” A strange light gleamed in Genyuan’s eyes.

"Alright then... wait until I get back to the bar, then I'll throw the light cone into the source." After Chen Luo snapped his fingers, the bar door in the distance slammed shut and disappeared, then instantly reappeared beside Chen Luo.

If Chen Luo were to break free of his stealth state, he would be instantly dissolved by the source. Although Chen Luo could indeed resist it, it would be very painful.

Chen Luo floated into the bar and immediately deactivated his stealth mode.

Besides the root cause, Chen Luo also has to deal with Sato Kazuma.

Fortunately, when Chen Luo entered the bar and threw the replicated light cone into the Root, he saw that Sato Kazuma and Aqua were so attracted by the drinks in the bar that they couldn't move.

Is it fair to say that he's easily bribed?

Looking at the dozens of light cones that he had thrown into the source and which were completely dissolved in less than half a second, Chen Luo suddenly felt a phantom pain.

I was once like these cones of light, dissolved in the root.

"Whoosh!" But before Chen Luo could even get over it, five orbs of light flew over and hit him on the forehead, knocking him unconscious.

"Five...you're giving them all to me now? Aren't you afraid I'll stop bringing you the Light Cones?" Chen Luo looked at Root, which wasn't far from the bar, in surprise as he saw the five highest-grade World Tree cultivation materials floating beside him.

Even if a deposit is required, it should only be 40% at most, right?

"Whatever, I have plenty of trash like this. Oh, by the way, do you have any questions? I can ask the Magical Conch for you while I'm looking at the Light Cone content. Anyway, I don't have any questions, or rather, it can't answer mine." Root asked casually.

[She really... I'm crying so much. She gave so much.]

Chapter 2100 The Root: You're not even willing to call me Godfather!

“…Then I’ll leave it to you.” Chen Luo said somewhat embarrassedly, listing the questions he was curious about in a table and “burning” it to Genyuan.

"You won't even call me Godfather."

"Uh, Godfather?"

"That wasn't very sincere of you to say it, but I got it. That's all for now, right? I'll remember to ask when I'm looking at the Light Cones. But you also need to remember to send me some Light Cones regularly." Root waved his hand.

"OK, all right."

"Oh, right, remember to bring me two bottles of liquor and throw them into the Root every night when your bar is open."

"No problem, but can you taste it?"

"I am the Vortex of Origin itself. If the Vortex of Origin consumes it, then I consume it too, right?"

"Okay. Then... I'll give you some potato chips and cola?" Chen Luo said as he pulled out a lot of bags of potato chips and cola, and then threw them directly into the Vortex of Origin.

"There are many magicians who want to explore the mysteries of the Root, but you are the first to throw potato chips and cola into the Root Vortex." The Root's eyes, which had been focused on the floating cone of light in front of it, glanced over and looked at Chen Luo, who was standing at the entrance of the bar.

After the cola and potato chips were instantly dissolved, a large number of potato chips and cola phantoms appeared around Genyuan.

"Although I can extract these things from the Root's records... there's one more thing, don't send me cucumber-flavored potato chips next time." Root-style picked up a bag of potato chips with a look of disgust and then threw it far away.

"Understood." Chen Luo nodded.

"I'll bring some more wine and milk tea tonight. I'll be going now."

"Let's go, let's go." After Root Style waved his hand, he looked at the dozen or so light cone covers floating in front of him, then chose the one in the middle and pointed at it.

Just as the content inside the light cone was about to begin playing, Root Style unscrewed a bottle of cola and tore open a bag of potato chips, revealing a rather expectant expression.

Chen Luo didn't dare to disturb Genyuan any further and closed the bar door.

Only now did Chen Luo breathe a sigh of relief.

This was the most tense Chen Luo had ever been when facing the World Consciousness. It wasn't because the other party was so strong, nor because this was the first time Chen Luo had faced the World Consciousness in this way, but because the other party had given so much.

Moreover, he was willing to help out in his spare time, which really surprised Chen Luo.

Although the world's philosophy is to govern by non-action, which means doing nothing, it is still rare to find someone willing to help out while doing nothing.

"If nothing unexpected happens, as long as they don't try to restart the world to start a business, the unique world consciousness of the Root can probably remain stagnant indefinitely." Chen Luo, closing the bar door, was genuinely envious.

This is the life Chen Luo has always dreamed of.

If it weren't for the pressures of life, who would want to...

Come on, you can't be envious. After all, it randomly selected two transmigrators to come to its world and watched them become transcendent beings. You don't have that kind of luck. So you can only rely on yourself.

[If it fails, it can go back and inherit the vast fortune and an entire world left to it by the original world consciousness. But if you fail, you can only... uh... anyway, that's the gist of it.]
