Their commission was suspicious.

"Save the world!"

Vita's energization level increased by 200%.

Seeing Vita's high morale, Chen Luo simply tossed the Dark Grail to her.

"You take it first," Chen Luo said.

"Oh."

"If you take good care of it, you'll get a raise."

"I will definitely protect it as my most precious treasure, please rest assured, boss!" Vita immediately hugged the Dark Grail to her chest.

"But isn't this Holy Grail constantly getting bigger?" Vita looked down at the Holy Grail.

"Because it is absorbing your greed. Vita, you are simply the perfect candidate for the Black Grail, but I like it. Keep it up. From now on, you will receive a guaranteed monthly salary of 2000 Paradise Coins."

"Oh, boss, you really want to add more?" Vita asked, somewhat surprised.

Vita thought Chen Luo would make empty promises for days before giving her a raise.

I didn't expect Chen Luo to add money so readily.

Money can't buy love, but it can buy Vita's favor. Golden Vita is so eager to become the proprietress; I wonder how much of that is due to money.

"Sixty percent, I guess?" Chen Luo wasn't interested in the topic, but he couldn't resist the constant nagging from the "humanized plugin."

Vita wanted to be the boss... oops, she wanted to flirt with me. If it wasn't for more money, what else could it be for? Because I, like Vita, practically float when I walk?

"...I think you really have no self-awareness whatsoever. At most 30%, no more than that."

"Is this another world? It doesn't feel any different." Gretchen observed this world bubble with curiosity.

Even after 5 years, Gretchen's curiosity remained strong. Because of Chen Luo's concern, Gretchen's actual adventurous time was only about 1000 years; the rest of the time she "explored" the other world using a game helmet.

In those 1000 years, Gretchen did see some planets with life, but they were all strange in various ways.

There is even a planet composed entirely of rational Honkai Beasts... no, three planets.

Greta also learned to use the Force on that planet.

With the weapon that Velvet gave to Gretsch, which appears to be a pen but is actually a lightsaber, Gretsch is still quite formidable in combat.

But it is precisely because we have seen so many abnormal worlds that normal otherworlds seem all the more rare.

“Planet and world bubble are still different… Next time you use the group web browser, remember to search for something useful. Although you are currently in underage mode, it only prohibits certain bloody and violent things, but this kind of highly classified information is not among the prohibited items,” Chen Luo said.

"...No, don't say anymore."

Greta really didn't want to hear anything about browser logs from Chen Luo anymore.

[Ding! You have a new request!]

"Okay." Chen Luo nodded.

[Ding! Mission complete!]

Meanwhile, Vita, who was holding the Dark Grail, ignored their conversation and instead looked around at the scenery of this world bubble.

As someone who wants to get promoted and earn a raise, you need to learn what you should be curious about and what you shouldn't.

Listen, but don't try to find out any more details.

Meanwhile, the Holy Grail in Vita's arms was slowly growing as Vita and Chen Luo moved around in the World Bubble.

This is the advantage of the Dark Grail: you only need to create a prototype, and its subsequent growth can be left to the world. As long as there are living beings in the world, there will be violence and various negative emotions.

Chen Luo can generate infinite magic power by absorbing dark power through the power of erosion, so what's wrong with occasionally using the magic power that's about to overflow to make a few Holy Grails?

Anyway, I'm just idling around.

And it will be full very quickly.

Besides that... there will probably be many more places where this Dark Grail will be needed in the future.

Now, just keep the molds and store them in the warehouse so you can use them whenever you want.

As for where the Dark Grail, a rather obscure item, might be needed...

For example, the etheric singularity of this world.

In Chen Luo's hands, the etheric singularity, which was originally biased towards a cylinder, was temporarily shaped into three small spheres, which Chen Luo held and kept twirling.

As time passed, when Chen Luo arrived at the first clock tower, one of the three spheres automatically floated up, quickly shed the shaping Chen Luo had given it, returned to its original form, and flew up onto the clock tower.

However, its original silvery appearance has turned completely black.

Vita, one of the two people beside Chen Luo, possessed a portion of the power of So and could sense the aura on that etheric singularity, which was becoming increasingly similar to the Dark Grail in his possession.

Gretchen then discovered that the etheric singularity was gradually being stained with the color of the Dark Grail, and was even being permeated by the color.

"Brother Chen Luo, what are you doing?" Gretchen asked, somewhat puzzled.

I'm puzzled as to why Chen Luo would mold the Ethereal Singularity into the Dark Grail.

"Because think about it, the energy of the etheric singularity is amazing, but it will eventually run out. In the ocean of quantum mechanics, only world bubbles that are too big or too small can survive for a long time."

"Although I have strengthened it now, it has only delayed the opponent's death. But if I mold this etheric singularity into a dark grail, allowing it to absorb the negative emotions of this world, then I can use these negative emotions as substitutes to reduce the energy consumption of the etheric singularity, and also reduce the power within the world bubble, making the world bubble more peaceful."

"If we're lucky, the meter might even reverse, making the power of this etheric singularity stronger and stronger, and extending the duration of the world bubble, allowing it to survive in the quantum sea almost indefinitely."

"But boss, aren't you worried that after this world bubble expands, it will go back and invade other world bubbles, bringing disaster to them? Based on my understanding of world consciousness, boss, the less interference you cause in this world, the better, right?" Vita asked.

Vita is also a top student. After gaining access to the group network, she began studying various subjects, including understanding world consciousness.

"But most of the negative emotions of people in this world are used to supply the etheric singularity as energy, and the ambition to expand outward is also a kind of negative emotion, called pride and greed."

"Theoretically speaking, they only have two choices: one is to know why they are so peaceful and continue to be peaceful; the other is to go to the world bubble outside this world bubble, and suddenly their ambition returns and they will realize that they will discard or transform the ether singularity that has made them lose their ambition. However, they will also lose a lot of energy and gradually decline as a result."

“But… if they can really change the etheric singularity into the Dark Grail so easily, wouldn’t I lose face?” Chen Luo’s voice was full of confidence.

The River God's power can evolve into using the power of the Quantum Sea to fight against the Quantum Sea itself.

It can even... replicate three imaginary trees! Causing the world to collapse due to loss of balance.

The corrupting power representing darkness is enough to instantly engulf the entire Quantum Sea with the tide of darkness.

The power of the Dark Grail may be weak, but its essence is profound.

"Besides, if my actions were truly going to cause the world to spiral out of control, the world consciousness would have emerged long ago. The Book of Akasha is not just for show."

Chen Luo's last words finally put Vita and Gretchen at ease, who were worried that he might become too arrogant and cause uncontrollable events.

“But is it really a good thing if the people in this world become more and more peaceful? A world without bad people sounds wonderful, but it’s a bit unrealistic.” Vita tilted her head.

"Bad people all deserve to die, so what, is there a problem?" Chen Luo glanced coldly at Vita.

"No... but boss, aren't you being a little wicked?" Vita shrank back in fear.

"Just kidding." Chen Luo smiled.

The atmosphere that had initially terrified Vita, the wicked woman, vanished instantly.

"After all, if you kill all the bad guys, how can you squeeze the last drop of value out of them?"

"!!!"

Oh no, I was too happy too soon!

"Huh? I was just kidding, can't you tell?" Chen Luo asked, noticing Vita's nervousness.

“…Haha? Really? Well, boss, you really know how to joke.” Vita smiled shyly.

Vita realized that her boss had a very clear sense of right and wrong; good was good and bad was bad.

Those villains who claim to be saviors or who believe destruction possesses aesthetic appeal and is something truly worth pursuing would likely meet a terrible end if they encountered Chen Luo. Because Chen Luo "cannot understand" or comprehends him.

No, they might not even die.

The most basic concepts of good and evil are the most applicable. Any strange or unusual concepts of good and evil that arise can be seen as ideas conceived by people who have nothing better to do.

Vita doesn't know whether having such a boss is a good thing or a bad thing.

Fortunately, Chen Luo is a reasonable person, not the kind who would kill someone immediately for every little bad thing they do.

Otherwise, Vita felt she might have died long ago.

“However, I’m not unaware that some negative emotions can actually fuel global development. For example, technological advancement is a form of ambition, so I will retain some of my negative emotions. What you can consider, I can naturally consider as well, so there’s no need to worry about that,” Chen Luo said.

“Perhaps by continuously spreading the Dark Grail like this, one day the various world bubbles in the Quantum Sea will achieve peaceful coexistence and exchange of resources… Would you consider that a kind of salvation?” Chen Luo suddenly asked.

"I guess so? But the world bubbles in the Sea of ​​Quanta are endless. If you really plan to do that, it will be very tiring," Vita reminded her.

"It doesn't matter..." Chen Luo smiled easily.

"Suddenly, I feel like you're a saint, boss. So close, yet so far."

"...Anyway, I'm not the one doing the work."

“Never mind what I said.” Vita shut her mouth.

Vita suddenly realized that she was the one collecting the etheric singularity...

Does this mean I have to do all these chores myself?

Okay, obviously, Chen Luo is a normal person.

Moreover, he is an overly "qualified" boss.

Although she complained a bit about the increased workload, at least it prevented Vita from being at a loss about how to get along with Chen Luo.

Thinking about it carefully, Chen Luo seems to have quite a few bad women around him, so one more doesn't seem like a big deal. Earning some extra money from running away shouldn't be a problem.

"Don't worry, if I really make you do the work, I'll give you a raise. Don't worry about that, it's time to go to the second clock tower." Chen Luo patted Vita on the shoulder, twirling the remaining two balls in his hands, and walked ahead first.

"Boss, you're such a nice person."

A good boss is one who pays more.

The premise is not just empty promises, but actual additional funding.

Gretchen looked at Chen Luo walking at the front and Vita beside him and wrote some words in her notebook: Chen Luo the savior, Chen Luo the generous, Chen Luo the order.

"You really intend to make my world your second home?"

Just after Chen Luo placed the second etheric singularity that had been transformed into the Dark Grail, he heard the voice of the world.

"What? You're not welcome?"

"Welcome... but could you please not put so many nails in my house?"

"What, did I disturb you?"

"I won't bother you, but are you really planning to spread the Dark Grail throughout the entire Sea of ​​Quanta?"

"It's just a matter of fate," Chen Luo shook his head.

Chen Luo did not insist on this.

Chen Luo knew that the world was steered by a world consciousness, which was the helmsman.

In any world, there must be both good and evil.

However, Chen Luo has tried his best not to interfere with the development of the world's plot.

The bad news is that whether the world bubble lasts or not is not important to the world.

The good news is that because it's not important, it can be changed.

"Who would have thought that a corrupting power would fall into your hands and become a tool for saving the world? You're quite the player."

"Who saved the world? I was just scattering beacons in the Sea of ​​Quanta, so that I can use the power of these etheric singularities to beat people up in this world from now on."

"Some things you can fool me about, but don't fool yourself too."

"Well, they're just world bubbles that won't interfere with the world's operation anyway. You don't really care, do you?"

"Tsk tsk, you kid... how about becoming an actor?" the World Consciousness suddenly asked.

"actor?"

"Oh no, in gaming terminology, you're called an NPC. With your extravagant spending spree personality, you might be quite popular with players."
