Their commission was suspicious.

If the World Serpent were truly invaded, who would bother to sneak into your room for no reason?

"Oh, no, I just set up a lot of small details that only I can see. It's a kind of marker to detect whether other people have come in, so don't touch it randomly. It's quite troublesome to rearrange it after you mess it up," Raven said.

Then, Chen Luo saw Raven take out another small box from a hidden compartment in a dressing table. After opening the box, Chen Luo, who was standing next to it, could see that it contained the same type of items as the small cloth bag.

Chen Luo wasn't particularly interested in this.

In fact, Chen Luo's family also had quite a few similar items, but since Chen Luo was not short of money, he naturally could not sell them. Therefore, Chen Luo preferred cash to those gemstones and the like.

At least you can buy snacks with cash, and those things wouldn't even get you a bag of spicy strips from the convenience store owner!

It was truly thanks to the bar that Chen Luo's life was saved; otherwise, he might not have even been able to afford to support the Herrscher of Knowledge.

Chen Luo, who was entering the girls' room for the first time, started to wander around Raven's room. Raven's room was actually quite large, or rather, the treatment of the World Serpent Base cadres was quite good.

The room has two bedrooms, one living room, one kitchen, and one bathroom, and is about the same size as a normal family house.

However, it seemed that Raven had slightly modified his room. At least when Chen Luo entered the second bedroom, which was not closed, he did not see a bed, but rather a lot of weapons and some small props that looked like they had strange functions.

This included the 10 fake plague gems that Chen Luo gave to Raven, which were casually piled on the table.

"Does this guy think these things are common?" Chen Luo couldn't help but complain, looking at the gems that were piled up so casually.

It's important to know that although these disease gems don't contribute as much as normal gems, only about 1%, they are still Herrscher cores.

Although this thing can only exist for a maximum of six months, if a suitable carrier is found, these 10 counterfeit Plague Gems can be used to create 10 counterfeit versions of the Little Herrscher of Flame.

It's not that the stronger the gem's power, the better. The stronger the gem's power, the more even an excellent A-rank Valkyrie might not be able to control it, but the power contained in this fake is just right.

Although it's not a large amount, stealing a small part of the Herrscher of Flame's core might still be possible.

Of course, Chen Luo did not conduct research in this area; he merely proposed an idea.

But in any case, these 10 Plague Gems are definitely worth much more than the bag of gems and artwork that the raven just harvested.

"So Raven's appraisal skills are really low. Tsk tsk." Chen Luo sighed a couple of times before continuing to inspect the weapons in the room.

"Chen Luo, let's go!" Raven called from the living room.

"Oh." Chen Luo responded and came out, seeing that Raven was carrying a small box.

"Where are we going?" Chen Luo asked.

"I'll take you to Paradise. Since you know Sakura, you should also know about Paradise, right? I bet you've never been there before, so this time I'll take you to broaden your horizons. Anyway, Gray Serpent said he'll take you anywhere," Raven said.

“It’ll take another hour for that villa to be finished. Now’s a good time for us to take a look around, and I can show you around. Aren’t I good to you? If you’re touched, give me a raise.” Raven looked at Chen Luo expectantly and said.

"...Sciora, I have a question. Could the art appraisal master you mentioned be Eden?" Chen Luo glanced at the small box in Raven's hand and then squinted at Raven.

"How did you know?" the raven exclaimed.

"Based on what I've heard about Eden's character from her deeds, she wouldn't appraise your items for such a mundane reason, would she?"

Eden wouldn't work for anyone for a little money; Eden's wealth is beyond your imagination!

You know the Land of the Dead, right? It used to be Eden's property, and its original name was the Golden Garden.

"Oh, please don't ask. Eden and I are friends, what's impossible about it? Besides, I brought her a bottle of good wine, didn't I?" Raven said, holding up the red wine in his hand.

"It's fine if you don't ask, but if you see her later, ask her?" Chen Luo nodded.

"No, no, no, well, cough cough, actually... I just thought Eden had a good eye for art, so I asked her to authenticate these things. But you absolutely mustn't tell Eden this," Raven warned Chen Luo.

"..." Chen Luo suddenly understood why Gray Snake hadn't mentioned Paradise at all when he said he wanted Raven to take him there. It turned out he was waiting for Raven here.

The raven is really being completely controlled.

It seems that the gray snake must have known about what the raven had done before, which is why it gave the raven the last bag of gems and artwork that filled the raven's little treasure trove.

Tsk tsk.

Raven, raven.

No wonder the Grey Serpent didn't stop Raven from leaving the World Serpent; it believed the World Serpent had given the most and was the most suitable for Raven.

The gray snake had long since figured out the raven's personality.

At least that's true when it comes to saving money.

"Hey, did you hear me? Remember to keep this a secret, or I'm not going to work today," Raven said to Chen Luo.

[Ding! You have a new request!]

[Confidential]: Cutting off someone's livelihood is like killing their parents. Do not tell Eden the truth that the raven often brings modern artworks to see him.

Reward: 200 Primogems + random reward.

"Well, I can keep it a secret, but I have one request." Chen Luo paused for a moment as he looked at the commission.

The raven's obsession with keeping secrets is so strong that it even resulted in a random reward.

Or is it that Raven simply doesn't want to take this thing outside and waste the appraisal fee, but instead wants to get free labor from Eden?

"What are your requirements?" Raven looked at Chen Luo suspiciously.

"You are absolutely, absolutely, absolutely forbidden from mentioning the bar in the Paradise of the Past. You can't tell anyone if they ask, understand? Otherwise, I'll expose all your secrets."

“No problem, it’s a deal, no take-backs.” Raven agreed instantly.

Hey, isn't it just about keeping this a secret? Why would people from Paradise ask about bars?

It's nothing, it's nothing.

“The contract has been made, and those who break their word shall be punished by being eaten by rocks.”

"What does that mean?" Raven didn't quite understand.

"If you breach the contract, I'll stuff the jewels from your little piggy bank into your mouth and make you swallow them."

Gems are considered Geo-elemental creations, so there's no problem.

"Wow, so vicious?" The raven was startled.

"And my work points will be reset to zero, since you already promised me."

“Normally I won’t deduct your work points, unless you break a promise you made to me. Of course, you can also use your work points to buy an indulgence ticket, and I can forgive you for one mistake.” Chen Luo offered the indulgence ticket service to Raven Friendship.

"What medieval religious money-making scheme? You can even talk about indulgences?" Raven couldn't help but complain.

Modern religions don't sell this stuff anymore, so why are you?

"200 work points per piece, take it or leave it."

To be honest, 200 credits to forgive someone for a mistake isn't expensive.

Although Chen Luo was joking about the indulgence, he was serious about giving the other party a chance.

After all, if the raven has reached the point where indulgences can be used, it means that it has caused quite a bit of trouble.

"No one in their right mind would buy that!"

200 work points per sheet? Why don't you just rob someone?

"Anyway, we've already agreed that we'll keep it a secret from each other."

"Okay, okay, it's just a bar. If you don't tell and I don't tell, how would the people of Paradise know?"

"Your bar only gets a few customers. Even if it's somewhat famous, it's not famous enough for everyone to know it," Raven said with a look of disdain.

"Ha, foolish woman."

"Who are you calling names?" Raven clenched her little fists.

"Yes, I apologize." Chen Luo apologized so quickly it was astonishing.

"Wow, you apologized so quickly, I didn't even have time to get angry."

"It was my fault, isn't it normal for me to apologize? Okay, okay, it's time to go. To be honest, I'm quite interested in the Paradise of the Past World," Chen Luo said.

“What’s the rush? Let’s talk as we walk. I’ll tell you some things to be careful about in the Past World. Although you seem to be very familiar with the previous era and even know about the existence of Mebius, I’m warning you that the most dangerous person in the Past World is Mebius.”

"Let me tell you, fairy tales are all lies, but the fact that Möbius eats people is no lie, that guy is really dangerous."

"Although the Thirteen Heroes are all like saviors, they were saviors of a previous civilization. They are indeed worthy of respect, but we also need to be wary of them." Raven walked down the corridor, imparting to Chen Luo the principles to remember when entering the Paradise of the Past.

"These are the survival rules of the Paradise of the Past that I have summarized. You must not forget them," Raven instructed Chen Luo.

Raven's Little Classroom officially begins today!

Chapter 230 The "Surprise" Prepared for Chen Luo by the Paradise of Past Lives

"If you encounter a masked person who keeps cursing, stay away from him; he's a harbinger of doom."

"If you encounter a little green girl sitting on a mechanical board floating in the air, stay away from her. That's Mebius."

"If you see someone who still looks a lot like Yae Sakura, you can go and meet her. She should like you a lot. That's Sakura."

"If you see a white-haired, aloof person who seems cold even when you get close, that's Kevin. If he ignores you when you talk to him, that's perfectly normal."

"If you see a wine-red-haired girl holding a golden goblet, that's Eden. Befriend her, and she might give you some valuable collectibles."

"And then?" Chen Luo asked after waiting for a while without hearing Raven continue its explanation.

That's it.

“How could there be no more? There are 13 heroes in total, and you’ve only mentioned 5,” Chen Luo reminded him.

"Ahem, I think we need to be careful with these five heroes," Raven said after coughing twice.

"Hmm, so you think Aponia doesn't need to be watched? You're really brave!"

"Who is Aponia?" Raven asked instinctively.

Raven must have read the records about Aponia, after all, the World Serpent also kept some information about the Thirteen Heroes, at least their names were recorded.

But when Chen Luo casually mentioned it, Raven didn't immediately think of it.

"..." Chen Luo fell silent.

“Oh, I remember now, Aponia. Aponia is a very friendly hero, you don’t need to worry about her at all.” But after Chen Luo was silent for two seconds, Raven remembered who Aponia was and quickly said.

Well, actually, the raven had never seen this person before.

The five people introduced above are all the heroes that Raven has ever met.

She had never even met the class monitor... who was Fu Hua.

In a sense, ravens really are not well-liked in Past Life Paradise...

“Aponia? Friendly? Hmm, Raven, you know what? Sometimes, Aponia is a more terrifying hero than a thousand calamities.”

Those who say Aponia is friendly probably haven't been asked "please" by the other side before.

Please calm down, please go to bed early and get up early...

No, no, that's too scary, especially the early to bed and early to rise rule.

"Is this Aponia really that powerful?" Raven was quite surprised.

Only when you've seen Qianjie, who's filled with rage and constantly cursing and shouting about tearing someone apart, can you truly understand the terror of Qianjie.

Even though the raven had never fought the other side, every time it stood next to the other side, its intuitive alarm clock would frantically warn it.

If Kevin represents the ultimate form of ice, then Qianjie represents the ultimate form of fire, the fire of fury.

In Raven's opinion, Qianjie is probably one of the strongest among the heroes, capable of fighting Kevin.

This person has a bad attitude and a poor reputation, which Raven can understand quite well.

But sometimes, someone can have a worse reputation than Thousand Calamities, which Raven can't understand.

That guy named Aponia, is he perhaps someone with three heads and six arms, eight feet tall, and a blue face with fangs?

"You're asking me? Didn't you say you'd seen Aponia?" Chen Luo's voice was calm but laced with sarcasm.

"You really are... no wonder you'll never have a girlfriend. Shouldn't you be a little more gentlemanly and elegant when you see a lady in an awkward situation?"

"What's wrong with me? I'm single, I'm proud of it, it's none of your business if I've never been in a relationship."

"Ha, a lifelong single," the raven scoffed contemptuously.

"You have the nerve to laugh at me, talking like you've ever had a boyfriend," Chen Luo retorted with disdain.

"...Let's change the subject," Raven said after a moment of silence.
