Their commission was suspicious.

In other words, Chen Luo just upgraded his tailoring skill from Grandmaster to Master level, which cost approximately 100 million Paradise Coins.

The Adventurer Card itself has no restrictions; there are no limits on how many skills you can learn in a day, how many skill points you can use, or how many Paradise Coins you can recharge.

Eating ice cream in the summer is great, but too much of it can give you a headache.

Eating tangerines in winter is refreshing, but eating too many can cause internal heat.

It’s too late.

Chen Luo also used skill points to upgrade all the skills in the mainstream Puppet Technique of the Dimensional Sea, which he had only recently learned, from Master level to Grandmaster level.

The most surprising thing is... mastery of furniture (master level).

Although the name wasn't directly changed to "Furniture Master," but rather a suffix was added, it didn't affect the overall effect.

The price was a bit high... It cost Chen Luo all of his remaining 1000+ skill points!

"This isn't upgrading skills, it's consuming the source of the world raw. It's too resource-intensive." Chen Luo rubbed his face.

If these resources were given to Megumin, she could use her Explosion Magic to blast a hole in the entire planet.

At that time, that mere demon king...

Even ignoring the limitations of the world and placing oneself in the dimensional sea, the cost of upgrading one's skills is still quite high.

The powerful beings of the Dimensional Sea learn and record skills through soul crystals, and the cost should be less than half that of Chen Luo.

However, Adventurer Cards are not without their advantages.

Adventurer cards can be created out of thin air and can be upgraded using skill points without any skill upgrade materials.

As for Paradise Coins... although Chen Luo is indeed a bit short of them now, he will have more than he can spend in a while.

"Excuse me, may I ask you something?" Just as Chen Luo and Sato Kazuma were both stunned, someone spoke softly from behind.

"Huh?" Kazuma Sato turned to look at the person who had spoken to him, and was immediately surprised.

It turned out to be a stunningly beautiful woman, who appeared to be a knight, striking up a conversation with her.

"Is there anything I can help you with?"

"This recruitment notice is for your team, right? Are you still recruiting?" The blonde female knight Darkness handed her a piece of paper.

"...We are still recruiting team members, but I don't really recommend you join..." Kazuma Sato said hesitantly.

This beautiful girl looks so normal that she seems a bit out of place in her own group.

Chapter 2110 Shakugan no Shana and Re:Zero

"Blacker than black, darker than darkness, let the golden light of no true red be entrusted here! When the time of awakening arrives, let the fall of the absurd church manifest itself as an invisible distortion! Dance, dance... No, I can't go on." Chen Luo painfully covered his face and squatted on the grassland.

The terrifying magical power that was constantly gathering at the tip of Chen Luo's wand fell to the ground with a snap of his fingers.

The explosive magic crashed down, its power nearly equal to Chen Luo's fireball spell, almost half as powerful. It truly lived up to its reputation as one of the strongest attack methods in the world.

Because Chen Luo had seen Huihui use the Explosion Magic, after he stuffed tens of thousands of Paradise Coins into the Adventurer Card, he already had enough skill points to learn the Explosion Magic.

And what suffers in return are the giant toads that slumber underground in this vast plain.

However, Chen Luo felt no remorse whatsoever. After all, these giant toads could easily swallow the goats raised by farmers, and every year during the toads' breeding season, children and farmers in the village would often go missing.

Although the giant frogs were unable to move while devouring others, making them easy for Kazuma Sato to eliminate, if Kazuma Sato and his group were pursued by more than three giant frogs, Chen Luo might never see Kazuma Sato again.

After all, giant frogs can actually kill people, so they're not exactly comedic relief.

As for creatures other than the giant frog, there's no need to worry; those that roam freely on this grassland are all monsters.

"Is this what it feels like to absorb experience?" After deliberately turning off the ability to grow by killing monsters, Chen Luo could clearly feel the experience points that this world spoke of flowing into his soul from the bodies of the monsters he had killed.

These experience points can indeed enhance an adventurer's strength, but absorbing a certain amount of soul skills and experience points will not immediately make the adventurer stronger. Only when the experience is full will there be a noticeable improvement.

This is the upgrade.

This experience value is of little use even to Chen Luo.

but……

“But isn’t this absorption efficiency a bit too low?” Some golden specks of light appeared in Chen Luo’s palm.

This is experience value that ordinary people cannot see or touch. After a portion of it flowed into Chen Luo's soul, the rest was received by Chen Luo.

After comparing with the user-friendly plugin, the experience points are 90% similar to the experience points that make up Paradise Gold Coins. However, the experience points gained by Paradise Adventurers when they kill creatures or stop life activities are almost entirely converted.

In addition, the way Paradise Coins are used is different from experience points. Paradise Coins directly strengthen the soul and then passively drive a small increase in various stats. As long as you can ensure that the body does not decay due to the soul being too strong and the body being too weak.

However, the experience points in this world are distributed fairly evenly across the adventurer's various stats, with the specific distribution ratio depending on the adventurer's class.

At your current experience level, even if you killed every single monster in this beginner area, it wouldn't be enough to level up.

Because the Puppeteer is a hidden profession and has a very high starting level, the experience required to level up is different from that of ordinary novice adventurers. At least it is impossible for them to level up three levels by killing four frogs like Kazuma Sato.

"User-friendly plugins".

What's wrong? Why are you calling me by my name so formally?

The human-centered plugin felt that Chen Luo's unsolicited kindness was either malicious or thieving.

"You'll be responsible for analyzing the composition of experience points and Paradise Coins in this world, researching the conversion principle, implementing the mutual conversion between experience points and Paradise Coins in this world, solving the conversion rate problem, localizing Paradise Coins, and developing a feasible distribution method for Paradise Coins..."

【Huh? Me?】

“Yes, if it’s not you, then who else could it be?” Chen Luo retorted.

[...What's the difference between this and making me, an old man, choose a useless character to start with, and then go out and solo the Tree Guardian?]

"Ah, isn't that something you can do with your hands?"

"Alright. It's not impossible, but I feel we need a professional alchemist. Or you could offer a random reward now, a universal converter. Otherwise, even with the current optimal solution, we'll lose some experience points and end up losing money."

"Hmm, how much did you lose?" Chen Luo frowned.

Chen Luo understood that transformations in different worlds and under different circumstances could not be without cost, unless you had the law of equivalent exchange. However, applying the law of equivalent exchange to this kind of thing would obviously not be enough to cover the appearance fee of an alchemist of that level.

Therefore, only a portion of the cost can be sacrificed for adaptive operation.

But Chen Luo really didn't expect to lose money.

[12.3% less profit]

"...Not making a profit is a loss, right? Get back to work."

Okay. I'll think of another way.

Actually, there are other ways, such as using the Void Treasury after it has exceeded its limit or Chen Luo's Eye of Elements as a filter to convert Paradise Coins and experience points into each other.

However, it would be best to maintain the development of the park without using Chen Luo's special props.

That is, self-sufficiency, producing and selling one's own products.

"Wait a minute, so you were saying you were going to find an alchemist? But you felt the appearance fee was too high, so you're not planning to go?"

"Hmm?" Chen Luo subconsciously looked up.

Then I saw white lettering in the sky, which was already dark.

The world consciousness of this world has begun to emerge.

"Yes, is there a problem?"

"……without."

Why does your tone sound so strange?

"Don't mind it, they often compliment me on my sarcastic or quirky way of speaking."

Is this a compliment?

"Just don't mind it."

It would be strange if the world consciousness didn't feel strange right now.

The world consciousness is like watching the only son of Shanxi's biggest coal boss trying to figure out how to get some coal to get through the winter.

Is your father's family tradition so strict?

"Ahem, so, World Consciousness, what insightful opinions do you have regarding our current predicament?"

"If you're asking for profound insights, I don't have any solutions, but I do have a way to reduce conversion losses—you can use the power of faith."

"Just a little bit will do. The difference between experience points in this world and Paradise Coins is that your Paradise Coins are mixed with your ability imprints, so you need another type of imprint to offset it."

"Different faith powers can offset different levels of conversion losses. The more brainwashing a faith power is, the less damage it can reduce. This isn't knowledge from this world, so your humanized plugin will be somewhat inadequate. I'll send you the specific hedging methods later."

"So that's how it's solved... I understand, thank you."

"So... could you do me a favor?"

"Oh? What kind of help? Please tell me." Chen Luo became interested.

"Could you please help me find my lost child?"

"Huh? What do you mean?"

"She's one of my family's agents. She went to another world to carry out a cross-world mission, but she hasn't returned yet. I'm a little worried about her, so I hope you can go and check on her."

"Do you... have world coordinates? If you do, I can help you," Chen Luo said.

Without world coordinates, Chen Luo is afraid there's nothing he can do.

"There are coordinates. And I won't let you help for nothing. You can apply for an identity mission later, and I'll give you the reward you deserve. Speaking of which, you might know my kid..."

"Oh, is it Youyou or Wiz or something like that?" Chen Luo thought that these were the only few people who were really famous in this world.

"No, it's Shana. Shakugan no Shana."

"...Why would she be acting as a Traveler in your world?" To be honest, Chen Luo actually knew this person, but he couldn't understand it.

"This is a long story..."

"Then let's get to the point."

"...Shakugan no Shana was the script for my previous reincarnation. Although I had to restart the loop halfway through due to some unforeseen circumstances, it was still one of my proudest works."

"I didn't expect you to have seen such an older anime."

"...Oh no, am I already an old man?" Chen Luo was startled.

But I'm only 17 years old.

Don't panic, you're not an old fogey. It's just that these days only the older anime are watchable, while the new anime are all the same, lacking any originality or substance.

"Then I'll leave this to you. I'll send you the world coordinates in a bit. You should be able to teleport using that bar... By the way, here's a bonus tidbit: the current storyline for that world in this cycle seems to be something like 'Creator.' A world filled with fantasy and the power of desire."

"In that world, the willpower of all beings manifests on the surface of the world, and they've given it strange names like the power of recognition and the power of creativity. But its essence is still the willpower of all beings. So I think you might be interested in your world."

"What you need to do is very simple: bring back Shana from that special world, the one who wanted to teach the summoned Shana a lesson."

"That child... perhaps also possesses the potential to kill himself. A single cycle of reincarnation is insignificant to the world's consciousness, but for humanity, it might be far too long..."

"It's a bit confusing, but I think I heard it clearly... I seem to have heard of that world before. In this world, there's a character who can break down the dimensional barrier and pull people out of stories, and then... she pulled Shana out? As a result, the real Shana couldn't stand her naivety when she was young, so she decided to teach that Shana a lesson?"

"Hmm, more or less."

"...Is killing myself really that fashionable these days?"

But... what about the power of the wishes of all beings?

It sounds like this might accelerate Chen Luo's deep awakening of his talent.

Moreover, Chen Luo has already sensed the scent of an ultra-large-scale commission!

Chapter 2111 The God of Wishes has no wish to become a transcendent being? What's the difference between him and a salted fish!

【Ancient Remnant】: After bringing Shana back from another world, she will automatically inherit the great achievements of Alastor, the God of Judgment and Conviction, who has survived from the previous era to the present day, and will be regarded as an ancient god.

Reward: 1200 Primogems

This is the identity and mission that Chen Luo obtained from the consciousness of this world.

Overall, it meets the basic characteristics of most identity missions: there are many Primogem rewards, but not enough special rewards.

This identity task only provides a legitimate identity, but does not grant corresponding powers.

Generally speaking, that's about all the World Consciousness can offer. The World Consciousness's monetary system is different from Chen Luo's. They don't mind giving them raw stones because the World Consciousness pays with willpower, which only becomes raw stones in Chen Luo's hands, and willpower is worthless. But giving them the Source of the World is truly painful.
