Their commission was suspicious.

Whether it's the magic lamp granting someone's wish or someone granting the magic lamp's wish, it's all related to wishes.

“But I can’t see much more. Precise analysis of the usable directions after combining the rules is the job of an appraiser.” Genyuan shook his head.

"I know, so I didn't plan to count on you." Chen Luo said as he solemnly took out a line about one meter long from his backpack.

"Wait, what is this thread..." As someone who once rampaged through the Dimensional Sea with two transcendent accessories, the Root instantly recognized the thing.

Chen Luo didn't explain immediately. Instead, while taking out the thread, he also took out an ordinary paper cup, pierced the bottom of the paper cup with the thread, crumpled the end of the thread into a small ball, and pulled it to make it taut. He did the same to the other end of the thread.

And just like that, Chen Luo made the simplest thing ever made in science class: a megaphone.

"Hey, hey, hey." Chen Luo called out twice to the paper cup, then listened intently to another paper cup.

A strange thing happened: even though both paper cups were in Chen Luo's hands, he heard someone else's voice.

"What's wrong, Xiao Luo Luo?" a somewhat lazy voice asked.

"Teacher, I have some details about a Rule-level item that you could appraise. It seems to be related to wishes, and perhaps it can be used as upgrade material for me," Chen Luo said.

"Wait half a minute, I'll be right there."

"All done, wait a bit." Chen Luo said after putting the two paper cups and the most important thing, the string, back into his backpack.

"So this is how you summon a puppeteer? I've learned something new," Shana remarked.

It's such a simple, unpretentious, and childlike approach.

"Between paying to ask about the Dimensional Ocean and getting your teacher's labor for free, you chose the latter," Root said.

"Hmm... I think that as someone who is detached from worldly concerns, the teacher can give me some more flexible advice," Chen Luo explained.

Chen Luoke didn't seek out the puppeteer because she knew it was free, but rather she spent raw stones to find the Dimensional Sea.

After all... after getting the puppeteer to answer your questions, you have to go back and make something fun for the puppeteer, which takes just as much effort as directly spending gems.

According to the puppeteer, this is called equivalent exchange.

However, as we all know, equivalent exchange is the least equivalent thing.

Or... should we give the Pinocchio Daydream Hotel invitation to our teacher?

I don't know if my teacher is interested.

"jingle!"

The sound of wind chimes also signifies the arrival of new guests.

"Long time no see, little Luo Luo, you've grown more and more adorable." The person pinched Chen Luo's face with both hands.

"Thank you for the compliment, teacher."

"But his personality is becoming less and less likable. Children should act like children." The woman, exuding an aura of mystery, lightly touched Chen Luo's brow.

"for example?"

"For example, when they first meet me as an elder, shouldn't they act cute and ask for a hug?"

"..." Chen Luo was indeed no match for the puppeteer.

Chen Luo's personality is too serious.

Or perhaps it's because Chen Luo has helped so many people that it's a little difficult for him to act coquettishly towards others.

Except when watching for entertainment.

"Too rigid. Long time no see, Root. Send me a copy of Light Cone later." The puppeteer abandoned Chen Luo and gave Root a high five.

“No problem, I’ll have Xiao Luo send it to you once I’ve sorted it out. I always pay for the shipping every time I send you something! I’ve had enough!” Genyuan said resentfully.

Although the source is currently in a holographic projection state, it is normal for transcendent beings to ignore the rules.

As for why the puppeteer knew about the light cone, Chen Luo wasn't surprised at all.

If Chen Luo could see through it, then what about those who have transcended?

However, Chen Luo really didn't expect that the source was someone who knew the puppeteer.

The value of the source material, which is accompanied by two transcendent pendants, wreaking havoc in the dimensional sea, is still increasing.

"Let me take a look at that wish-granting item you mentioned." The puppeteer took the magic lamp directly from Chen Luo's hand.

"Hmm, this thing seems interesting... Let me take a closer look." The puppeteer seemed to have noticed something interesting and carefully examined the exquisitely crafted lamp.

After a long while, the puppeteer returned the magic lamp to Chen Luo.

"This is a very interesting prop. As its description says, the person who rubs the magic lamp can summon the genie and then grant the genie's three wishes."

"And next is the hidden setting. First of all, the three wishes that the genie makes to you are not unfounded. The wishes he makes are definitely within your capabilities, but they will certainly be somewhat difficult for you. In other words, he is tailoring his wishes to the individual, but the upper limit will definitely not reach the level of a transcendent being. If the wishes are not fulfilled, he will even force you to fulfill them when the time limit is reached."

"Secondly, after you have fulfilled the other person's three wishes and collected enough wish power, they will turn this wish power into wish essence. Then you can use wish essence to fulfill your own wishes. The upper limit of the wishes that these wish essences can fulfill is related to the strength of the wishes you fulfilled. It is equivalent to the degree to which three one-star wishes are combined into one two-star wish."

"Thirdly, you can save the wish essence. Three one-star wishes can be combined into one two-star wish, three two-star wishes into one three-star wish, and so on... If you can combine them into a nine-star wish, you can replace the genie and enter the lamp. Whenever someone summons the genie, you can force him to grant you three wishes. As for the essence... you can even choose not to give it to the other person. Let him do the work for free."

"Wow, teacher, you're amazing! You summarized the rules so comprehensively after only looking at them for a short while," Chen Luo praised.

"Oh, well... these rules were already there, they were just engraved on the inside of the magic lamp, so you can't see them. Because this rule-level item is currently still unopened," the puppeteer explained.

"...Can I use this thing? Won't I lose money if I use it?" Chen Luo asked with some concern.

If we're talking about what kind of wish Chen Luo could achieve by pushing himself to the limit... well, that's hard to say.

If a wish requires 1 or even tens of thousands of primal stones to fulfill, and three wishes come true in a row, what kind of wish would Chen Luo make to recoup his losses?

Moreover, the puppeteer said that this magic lamp does not have the power to grant the wishes of those who have transcended, so it feels like it would be a waste for Chen Luo to use it... It's not that Chen Luo has high standards, but if Chen Luo encounters trouble, it would be better to spend raw stones to ask the puppeteer to help, without letting the middleman make a profit.

"Don't worry, it won't touch your raw stones. It will only let you fulfill the wishes that you can accomplish independently through your best efforts. After all, being able to use resources to fulfill wishes is actually a bug in itself," the puppeteer said.

You think you can avoid disaster by spending money? The genie lamp won't let you do that.

"If I feel like I'm losing money, teacher, could you take it apart?"

"No problem, just use it. Oh, by the way, get me a cup of tea." I waved my hand and then sat down at a table in the bar.

What kind of tea?

"Red bean milk tea, please."

"..." Okay, milk tea counts as tea too.

Chen Luo snapped his fingers and placed a super deluxe milk tea containing five raw stones in front of the puppeteer.

Then Chen Luo went to a corner inside the bar and gently wiped the magic lamp with his sleeve.

After ordering a cup of tea, Shana kept her eyes glued to Chen Luo wiping the magic lamp.

After learning the details of the magic lamp, Shana did not regret giving it to Chen Luo.

If it weren't for Chen Luo, Xia Na wouldn't have known the details of this magic lamp, let alone used it; it would have been gathering dust for the rest of its life.

Leaving aside the 1 million Paradise Coins, if you use all 100,000 Merit Points to buy the World Tree Doll, you can exchange it for 4 shares of World Source. Under normal circumstances, that's enough to buy a rule-level item of unknown origin that you might be scammed out of.

As for combining nine wishes to become a genie, Shana didn't even dare to think about it.

Even a single wish requires a great deal of effort from the genie, so combining nine wishes... Shana would probably be exhausted to death.

Moreover, if the task is not completed, being dragged by the genie lamp to be forcibly carried out could even result in death...

We can't afford to mess with them.

People can never acquire money beyond their understanding.

But Shana was still very curious about how Chen Luo could make money.

Maybe I can learn from this and do the same next time I find something like this.

Chen Luo gently wiped the beautiful lamp in his hand, and after a moment, a wisp of green smoke drifted out from the spout.

The wisp of smoke suddenly expanded and became... an even larger wisp of smoke.

"..."

"I am the genie, and as my holder, you must grant me three wishes." The voice of the green smoke was unusually ethereal, and although it was not in a language that Chen Luo could understand, he could still understand what it meant.

This is the common language of the Dimensional Sea.

However, this universal language was not invented by humans or other races, but rather summarized by humans from various naturally derived tools. Its effect is that it can make the other party understand one's meaning regardless of race or language.

"Can we change the shape?" Chen Luo asked, looking at the wispy blue smoke.

Generally speaking, beings like spirits can change form.

"Human, you're such a hassle. But as my owner, you'll be dealing with me for a long time. So let me ask you, what do I look like to you?"

"Seeking an official title? You look fair-skinned and beautiful..." Chen Luo said with a look of surprise.

"Stop, you don't need to say it out loud. Just imagine the image while rubbing the magic lamp. My knowledge is indeed correct; you humans are nothing but yellow waste in your brains." There was a hint of disdain in Qingyan's voice.

Generally speaking, naturally generated rule-level items, or even weaker items, if they possess a spirit, will usually have the ability to understand general knowledge. Simply put, they understand all the general common sense of the dimensional sea.

Therefore, it is impossible to fool a newly born spirit with rich experience in fraud.

After his initial excitement subsided, Chen Luo considered the situation and, remembering that there were people watching in the bar, he toned down the pose he made while wiping the magic lamp.

The green smoke slowly transformed into a form until it became a well-behaved-looking blue-haired armed puppet sitting on a flying sword.

Armed Doll - Ruoshui.

After thinking about it, Chen Luo decided that making an armed doll would better suit his persona as a puppeteer.

"Alright, are you satisfied now? Now get ready, I'm going to make my first wish," said the genie.

Aren't you going to explain the rules?

"Isn't the rule just that you grant me three wishes? What else is there to say? Didn't you read the item description before using it?" Genie Ruoshui tilted her head.

"I mean more detailed rules beyond the item descriptions."

"Oh, then open the light cover and see for yourself. It's inside."

Chen Luo glanced at the genie Ruoshui, then opened the lid of the lamp and looked inside.

The inside of the magic lamp was not pitch black; instead, some incomprehensible characters floated inside, yet they were surprisingly understandable—common language.

The rules of the wishing lamp are explained in detail above, and there is even some information that the puppeteer did not mention but is not very important.

Chen Luo breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that neither the genie nor the river god had any intention of hiding the truth.

It seems this magic lamp isn't the kind of prop used to scam people.

Chen Luo would be very disappointed if he finally encountered a rule-level wish-granting item, only to find that the item itself was malicious.

Thinking about it carefully, among all the works that seem to grant wishes, only Dragon Ball is relatively honest; the others are all a bit of a trap.

"Have you finished watching? I'm going to make a wish now."

“Okay, make your wish.” Chen Luo nodded.

"Let me touch you, what kind of wish should I make to you?" The genie Ruoshui floated to Chen Luo's front on her flying sword and then placed her small hand on Chen Luo's forehead.

This is also part of the genie's wish-granting process.

Because the genie always needs to understand the specific circumstances, such as financial resources, combat strength, strengths, temperament, etc., in order to know the approximate limit of what you can fulfill your wish for.

Both the magic lamp and the genie are rule-level artifacts that possess spirituality and lean towards the side of order, which is quite rare.

Moreover, Chen Luo also saw from the introduction that the logic of the genie's wish is actually based on the holder's own strength and the surrounding circumstances.

Generally speaking, if a genie's wish is granted, it will greatly help others with similar wishes. Or it might even allow the wisher to do what they originally wanted to do. It mainly depends on whose wish is the strongest.

In Chen Luo's view, the magic lamp was more like a wish-finding device.

Therefore, Chen Luo was very curious about whether he could earn two kinds of money by doing one thing.

You make a wish to the genie to earn the genie's gemstone, and then you go to the person whose wish you made to earn their gemstone!

From this perspective, the Genie is indeed a perfect match for Chen Luo.

Exclusive Item: Wishing Lamp

Effect: Primogem reward doubled

The premise is that this genie can actually produce raw gems.

Even if it doesn't work, it's still a wish-finding tool, so Chen Luo isn't at a loss.

This magic lamp wouldn't be a loss for anyone else, but it's a huge profit for Chen Luo.

As for the other party reading his fate, Chen Luo could pretend not to see it, since this magic lamp was just a spirit.
