Their commission was suspicious.

"What?! I've collapsed! I've truly collapsed! Gretchen is still a child!"

"Just kidding, calm down. You're absolutely true, you and that Hen from 5 years ago had the exact same thoughts after hearing about this." Chen Luo pulled the stick back.

"...I'm warning you, don't lay a hand on my daughter."

"Come on, uncle, Gretchen is old enough to be my grandmother."

"..." by Gretchen

Gretchen took a step back, looking somewhat hurt.

Why is it that when you two are joking around, I'm the one who gets hurt?

"Hmm...it seems so...once I think about it...I agree to your marriage."

After thinking about it, Hen realized that Chen Luo's age difference with Gretchen in the previous civilization was about 6 years or less. In fact, this age difference was indeed a bit large.

But when Gretchen's age range increased to over a thousand years, it was Gretchen who started dating younger women.

How strange...

But to be honest, when Hen realized that Chen Luo was actually much younger than the current Gretchen, and after hearing Gretchen explain just how precious the items Chen Luo had given Gretchen were, Hen really thought Chen Luo was a good match...

Honestly, whether you consider his personality, character, moral standards, abilities, or even from a more worldly perspective, such as wealth and power, it seems there's absolutely nothing wrong with him.

The only problem is that I'm too busy.

Of course, Hen is more supportive of Gretchen's free choice in love.

"You'd better not agree to anything. Be careful, or Möbius might suddenly appear and crush you to death by a collapse," Chen Luo warned Hen.

"What does this have to do with Mebius? Oh, you're worried about Mebius, as your aunt, disagreeing?" Hen suddenly realized.

"...You really don't understand at all."

Chen Luo found it hard to believe that Hen could not see the relationship between himself and Mebius.

Although there has been no official announcement regarding the Fire Moth, anyone with a modicum of common sense can probably glean some information from it.

Could it be because I deliberately didn't summon the traces from the future?

How am I supposed to understand if you don't tell me?

"you……"

"That's enough, you two!" Gretsch, enraged, slammed her hand on the table, interrupting their conversation.

Hen and Chen Luo exchanged a glance and then obediently sat down.

"Hoo..." Big Gretchen, with her eyes closed, tried to forget the conversation between the two people. After a while, she slowly opened her eyes.

"Are you two crazy?" Xiao Shi, sitting on the lotus platform, pointed at Hen and Chen Luo.

Although the work of forging the Star Soul was temporarily ended, Xiao Shi unexpectedly did not immediately revert back.

Xiao Shi inexplicably felt that this form was quite exciting, especially when Chen Luo was holding it.

Cats all want to be petted. What? They don't? They're just being stubborn!

Similarly, everyone wants to be taken advantage of.

Furniture too.

"Speaking of which, how are you and Blanca doing at St. Freya Academy? Are you still familiar with it? Do you need me to help you find another place or something?" Chen Luo asked Hen.

"It feels pretty good. St. Freya Academy is a place with outstanding people and resources... mainly because there are so many acquaintances here," Hen remarked.

When Hen arrived at St. Freya Academy, he felt quite unfamiliar at first. But after getting to know himself a little better, he looked at his neighbors and had a feeling that he might still be living 5 years ago.

Himiko, Yae Sakura, Raiden Mei, Sougen, Danzhu...

Although some strange characters were mixed in, at least many of them looked very familiar at first glance.

"That is... I have the idea of ​​turning St. Freya Academy into the second Moth of Flame, but it's just an idea," Chen Luo said, stroking his chin.

The main reason is that, apart from St. Freya Academy, there really isn't anywhere else for these people who aren't doll-like.

“Blanca adapted to the environment there very quickly, and even planned to work in the research department of St. Freya Academy to earn some salary and contribute her own strength, but I don’t seem to be good at anything other than fighting.” Hen scratched his head.

People left over from the war era do indeed have this problem: after they no longer need to fight, it is difficult to find a suitable job because they lack a skill.

If Hen really wanted to be St. Freya's combat coach, it wouldn't be a problem, but Hen said he wasn't good at teaching people.

Becoming a male Valkyrie and annihilating Honkai Beasts is also an option, but Hen is already tired of fighting Honkai Beasts, constantly going on missions, and not returning home for long periods, making Blanca worry at home.

"Hmm...would you be interested in exploring the Dimensional Sea?"

"The Dimensional Sea? That must be dangerous." Hen hesitated. Hen wasn't afraid of danger itself, but he was terrified of fearless danger.

If it's to fight the Honkai Beasts and protect humanity, then it's naturally their duty, but going to the Dimensional Sea to seek death is another matter entirely.

"Don't worry, there's no problem. You can always go back to the bar through the main entrance and then go home. No one is restricting your working hours, and you can also get a resurrection item from Xiao Shi. If you really encounter difficulties and die... as long as your original body doesn't die, you can be summoned back at any time using the River God's power," Chen Luo said.

Both Scar and Blanca are actually golden, and their existence is meant to ease Gretchen's longing.

The main reason why Hen and Blanca died so late was because of Chen Luo's interference.

"Huh? So, is the me that's been summoned back still the same me?" Hen frowned.

"The different versions of you that can be summoned from the River of Time using the River God's power are all the real you, just at different stages. If you really care about this, you can use this saver to save your progress here. With the River God's power, even if you die completely, you will only lose the memories of today at most."

Chen Luo took out the saver.

Although this saver is not a talent accessory, it is even better than a talent accessory, with outstanding effects.

Its most perfect advantage is that it consumes very little energy, requiring only a small amount of the soul imprint of the person who saved the game as its energy source.

“Of course, you don’t have to go explore the Dimensional Sea. I won’t force you, but I have a feeling you’re not exactly a peaceful person,” Chen Luo said with great certainty.

Chen Luo understood that letting this guy live a retired life in his prime would make him very happy for the first few days, but he would become restless in a few days.

"Then... how about we try the whole resurrection item?"

[Ding! You have a new request!]

"beg me."

"Can I introduce you to a girlfriend? With our relationship, you don't need to beg, right?"

"you shut up."

Chen Luo just wanted to play a joke on Hen, but Chen Luo felt that Hen really wanted to kill him.

Some treacherous subjects are plotting against me!

So Chen Luo quickly extracted the memories of Hen from the Feather Dust that Xiao Zhi had conjured, made them into Star Soul, shaped them into a little figure, and then directly pasted them onto Hen's face.

Creating a Star Soul for Hen is very easy because the fate of Hen in the timeline that Xiao Shi exclusively possesses is too different from that of the current Hen.

"Oh, I see. Is this my fate in the normal timeline?" Hen held a small doll that resembled himself and began to read about this possibility, which was different from his own.

This is the side effect of extracting a soul from someone who has been around since childhood—it lets the other person know their ending in another timeline.

The reason for mentioning side effects is not because Chen Luo is in the wrong; Chen Luo is confident that he has not wronged anyone in Honkai Impact 3.

Chen Luo did not take away their opportunities, nor did he kill them in advance, nor did he rob them of their treasures... except for Otto.

Otto's Void Treasury was an item that Chen Luo could snatch without any psychological burden.

And it wasn't Chen Luo who stole it, it was Xiao Shi who stole it.

What Chen Luo could truly call a side effect was that, for some reason... Gretchen's gaze towards him became strange.

She wants to date you.

"Don't talk nonsense."

She really wants to date you, I'm not making this up.

It is through comparison that we feel hurt.

Chen Luo has done his best to give the previous civilization a good enough ending. Among all the endings of the people in the previous civilization, Gretchen's change cannot be said to be the best, but it can at least be ranked in the top five.

If we're only talking about the benefits, then it's definitely the best.

After all, not everyone can be given a bunch of random items by Chen Luo for protection.

This kind of treatment seems excessively indulgent, regardless of which member of the bar it is, or even from Xiao Shi's perspective.

"jingle!"

The wind chimes rang.

The bar door was pushed open forcefully.

It's obvious the person on the other end is in a hurry.

Hen originally wanted to ask Chen Luo about the Dimensional Sea, but seeing that Chen Luo had a new guest, he was pulled aside by Gretsch and introduced to him.

"Chen Luo, something's wrong, something's happened!" Xing rushed into the bar in a panic.

"Hmm?" Chen Luo looked at Xing, then at Ruan Mei, who followed Xing in with a troubled expression.

"You two didn't manage to capture them?" Chen Luo asked, somewhat curious.

Chen Luo had initially thought that when he arrived at the bar now, he would be followed by Ruan Mei, who could capture Xing but couldn't harm her and could only wander around with her. However, the two of them seemed to get along quite harmoniously.

Both of them simultaneously showed expressions of impatience.

"Uh... Ruan Mei gave way too much." Xing hesitated before speaking.

How many?

Chen Luo glanced at the commission record that Silver Star had obtained through the tool sticker, skeptical.

[Solve the problem]: 600 Primogems.

— Nguyen Mai

Oh, that's a lot.

There's still a difference between Xing and Chen Luo even though they used the "tool person" sticker.

As someone who can do anything and has all sorts of methods, it's not difficult for Chen Luo to receive large-scale commissions, given his various achievements. But for Xing, receiving a commission of this level is truly impressive.

Of course, this is the reward given by Ruan Mei's wish, and it is not the same as the reward that Ruan Mei herself has to pay.

Whether or not to ask for extra rewards has always been the decision of the person who completes the task.

But since Xingneng summarized Ruan Mei as having "given a lot," it shows that the other party is indeed not stingy.

But Chen Luo was indifferent to this... because Chen Luo and Ruan Mei were not meant to be.

Because Chen Luo has never encountered a Ruan Mei incident even once in the simulated universe!

You expect me to help you with this? Help me my ass!

“Okay, I know how much to give. So what brings you two to the bar? At this hour… are you here for lunch?” Chen Luo asked after estimating the time at the Black Tower Space Station.

The time in the bar does not correspond to the system time of the Starry Sky Railway world, because the sunrise and sunset times in Belloberg, Black Tower Space Station, and Fairy Ship are completely different.

After all, they are not the same sun.

"It's not lunch, but it is indeed related to food."

"Ok?"

“Ruan Mei drugged me,” Xing said, pointing to Ruan Mei behind him.

Xing's words were so straightforward that Ruan Mei behind him didn't know what kind of expression to make.

I only added a little anti-vomiting agent; I didn't target Xing's language system, because that would be too impolite.

Of course, she wasn't very lenient after administering the anti-vomiting drug, but Ruan Mei was willing to offer substantial compensation.

While Xing and Chen Luo were talking, Ruan Mei also began to look around the bar.

"Oh, I know that, but didn't I give you the anti-vomiting medicine?" Chen Luo nodded.

“Ruan Mei didn’t give me the anti-emetic; she gave me the wrong medicine.”

"Huh?" Chen Luo was stunned for a moment, then looked past Xing and at Ruan Mei behind Xing.

"Although we've never met, aren't you a biology expert? How could you even prescribe the wrong medicine?" Chen Luo complained.

"..." Ruan Mei lowered her head slightly upon hearing Chen Luo's words, seemingly organizing her thoughts.

"..."
