Their commission was suspicious.

[If I had stopped you, Mebius, from taking that hangover pill, she probably would have gone completely wild in the bar and wouldn't have been able to stop. But if she took it and then threw you over her shoulder and sat on top of you, at least she would be more alert when other people came by, and wouldn't be showing off their affection in public.]

One thing that's somewhat puzzling is why Mebius didn't take Chen Luo to the second floor, but instead just messed around on the first floor.

because……

For Möbius, neither option mattered. The excitement of enjoying a meal comes from knowing that others might discover it but wouldn't actually find out. And if they were discovered, wouldn't that be even better? It would give him even more reason to enjoy the food openly.

"...Now you can determine when the other people will arrive at the bar?"

According to the human-centered plugin, Mebius's thoughts are far too dangerous.

Of the 100 pounds of elements in a person's body, at least 99 pounds are [taboo].

[Theoretically, it's not possible. The bar's uncertainty priority is higher than mine, but Ruan Mei is different. Although I can't be sure when a strange outsider will come to the bar, I personally saw Ruan Mei leave. Is it difficult to know when she fell for Erha's trick and then came to you for help? But the premise is that no one from other worlds interferes with Ruan Mei through the bar.]

Fate is a net, its threads interwoven, encompassing the destiny of every individual.

Once the people in the bar return to their own world, the humanized plugin can predict when they will return to the bar if there is no interference from others. However, because the group network can also transmit, it is quite difficult. Although the humanized plugin also monitors the group network, variables such as the customer themselves, fluctuations in the other party's world, and interference from people in other worlds will greatly increase the amount of computation.

In general, it can be calculated, but it's unnecessary.

Fortunately, Nguyen Mai doesn't have a deep relationship with the other customers in the bar, so it's enough to just take the variables of Black Tower and Aha into account.

If you were to replace Yukari Yakumo with the person being monitored, and had to consider 80% of the people in the bar as variables, the workload would be enough to make anyone's hair fall out.

Ruan Mei's movements were very strange. She suddenly stopped after pushing open the bar door. Because the bar door was not very big, she did not see Mebius sitting on Chen Luo due to the angle.

Mebius got up from Chen Luo with a bored expression, then watched Ruan Mei's strange movements with great interest.

"To make a long story short, I've been cursed by Aha again. The curse is called '321 Wooden Man'..." Ruan Mei said to Chen Luo very quickly after regaining her mobility and immediately went into the bar. After speaking, she suddenly stopped and remained silent.

Chen Luo walked up to Ruan Mei out of curiosity and looked her up and down.

With the help of the user-friendly plugin, Chen Luo stared into Ruan Mei's eyes and then "saw" what Ruan Mei was seeing in her eyes.

From Ruan Mei's perspective, a huge masked figure is slowly turning around.

It is the Fool's Mask of Ahab.

After the Fool's Mask turned completely back, Chen Luo "heard" the voice that Ruan Mei had heard—"Three two, wooden man."

Chen Luo heard the voice of the future, but in reality, that voice had only just begun its countdown.

"Just help me lift the curse first. We'll settle your payment later." Ruan Mei said to Chen Luo and then fell silent.

Because the joyful mask suddenly turned around when it counted to two.

Unfortunately, Ruan Mei was always on guard against such a thing, so the other party did not succeed.

The man with the mask of pleasure turned his head. His eyes, fixed on Ruan Mei, gleamed with a gleaming malice.

The person who's having fun is in charge... The other party may indeed only want to have fun, but for ordinary people, this is a catastrophe.

Unlike the masked figure who turned around quickly, the other person turned back very slowly, so Ruan Mei could only remain silent and still.

[Hehehe, whatever the reason, Ruan Mei can't move now, right...]

She absolutely cannot move, because if Ruan Mei moves in this state, she will be immediately petrified.

"Why don't you try being petrified? Don't worry, my head pat can undo the petrification. Maybe it'll be a very novel experience," Chen Luo said to Ruan Mei.

“What you said makes some sense,” Ruan Mei nodded.

But after she had mentally prepared herself, Ruan Mei found that she was not petrified.

"Oh, because the bar is currently protecting you, so you won't be petrified." Chen Luo seemed to remember something and snapped his fingers, dispelling the bar's protection of Ruan Mei.

"Wait a moment……"

Ruan Mei had originally planned to collect her current physical data to check for the corresponding petrification virus after hearing Chen Luo's words, but Ruan Mei spoke a little too late...

After Chen Luo removed Ruan Mei's protection from the bar, Ruan Mei spoke, and her body began to gradually turn to stone.

"Sigh... I hope you can help me collect my body data while I'm in a petrified state. I'll definitely reward you." Ruan Mei noticed that her feet had begun to petrify, so she said to Chen Luo.

[Ding! You have a new request!]

“Okay, no problem.” Chen Luo nodded.

Ruan Mei turned to stone very quickly; in just two seconds, she was completely petrified.

What Chen Luo didn't understand was why the petrification didn't start from the bottom up, but rather from the entire body at the same time.

This doesn't make sense.

Did Aha plan from the beginning to give Nguyen Mai some time to say her last words?

Although Chen Luo didn't understand, he respected it.

Chen Luo first patted Ruan Mei lightly on the shoulder, then summoned Ruan Mei's gold and silver statues, and then...

He turned around, sat down, and took out tea leaves to brew.

Chen Luo decided to disappoint Ruan Mei and play a game of idle gameplay.

[In that case, I suggest you move the other two stone statues of Ruan Mei into your third-floor attic, and let them watch you sleep and flirt with girls.]

[Imagine how exciting it is to have girls watch you pick up other girls!]

"..." Chen Luo had always found the idea of ​​a humanized plugin to be very strange.

I still feel that way now, and I even feel that the user-friendly plugins are more off than before.

"Aren't you going to complete your mission?" Mebius looked at Chen Luo with some surprise.

Chen Luo neither collected data nor helped Ruan Mei break free from petrification, which surprised Mebius.

"Why didn't you help her complete the request? Since Ruan Mei wanted to collect data on herself during her petrification, wouldn't it be more detailed to just give her another petrified Ruan Mei?" Chen Luo pointed to the gold and silver Ruan Mei placed next to her, in addition to the original Ruan Mei.

Since Ruan Mei's demands are so great, wouldn't it be better to simply create two more Ruan Meis for her to study?

“Helping Ruan Mei break free from petrification is naturally my job, but Ruan Mei might want to experience what it feels like to be petrified. If I’m wrong, haven’t I already brewed some tea to apologize?” Chen Luo pointed to the tea he had just brewed.

The water in the teacup is kept at a constant temperature, which is bringing out the aroma of this very special tea.

The tea will taste its best in 10 minutes.

“Since Ruan Mei has trusted me a little, I should reciprocate by providing her with the most considerate service. In that case, she probably won’t refuse my invitation to go to Pinocchio, right?” Chen Luo said as he picked up the crystal ball that was covered with a cloth and was shrouded in wisps of smoke.

"I'll be back in 10 minutes. I'll reserve the Herrscher of Corruption spot for the current civilization first," Chen Luo said to the memory entity Mebius before pushing open the bar door.

"The Herald of Corruption, I wish I had this spot..." Memory Mébius muttered to himself.

"...What? You're planning to use it in the Land of Rebirth?"

“Anyway, as a memory entity, don’t I perfectly meet the requirements of the Herrscher of Corruption [having no physical form]?” Mebius didn’t seem to intend to deny it.

"That's true... but apart from you, this Herrscher of Corruption doesn't seem to have any effect on the others in Paradise of the Past." Chen Luo muttered to himself.

After all, the Paradise of the Past only has one proper memory, Mebius.

Of course, the inability to use the Herald of Corruption to corrupt the memories of other heroes does not mean that one cannot wreak havoc in the Land of the Dead.

You can't attack people, but you can attack scattered data.

"What did you say?" Mebius asked, not having heard Chen Luo's words clearly.

“Oh, it’s nothing. If you want to become the Herrscher of Corruption, I can help you,” Chen Luo said.

"Forget it, what's the point of a half-finished Herrscher of Erosion?" Mebius shook his head.

“I am more interested in the powers of the Lawgiver of Knowledge…” Möbius continued.

"...It's not impossible. Xiao Shi even asked me to find someone to take the place of the Herrscher of Knowledge a while ago. After all, if another Herrscher of Knowledge were to emerge from Fu Hua's mind, her feelings would be very strange," Chen Luo said.

As for Xiao Shi herself, her powers have already broken through to SS level, so there is no need to obtain another Herrscher of Knowledge power that is exactly the same as her initial powers.

While this does indeed seem to alter the plot, how many times has Chen Luo changed the plot along this timeline?

Or rather, Chen Luo turned everything upside down from the very beginning.

If another Herrscher of Consciousness were to be born from Fu Hua's body... Chen Luo didn't even dare to imagine how the new Herrscher of Consciousness would treat him.

[I'll lock you in a dark room and squeeze you dry 100 times!]

“I’ll think about it…” Mebius was somewhat tempted.

"Think about it first. If I don't go now, it will be too late to remove the seal from Ruan Mei... Oh, right." Chen Luo suddenly stopped just as he was about to leave the bar. He then ran to the spot where the three Ruan Mei statues were placed, picked up a silver Ruan Mei and placed it on the left side of the bar door, and picked up a gold Ruan Mei and placed it on the right side of the bar.

"Very good! It will definitely have a good effect on protecting the house!" Chen Luo nodded in satisfaction, then drifted away.

"..."

The statue that was turned into a warding-off-the-house after the Genius Club members told the truth, right?

Mebius was somewhat speechless, but with no one around, his mind started to wander.

Do members of the Genius Club have different physical structures or internal factors compared to ordinary people?

Mebius placed his hand on Ruan Mei's hair with slight force, as if intending to knock off some stones so he could study them properly after the petrification was over.

The moment Möbius first saw Ruan Mei, he sensed in her eyes a desire to study her. Ruan Mei couldn't hide this from Möbius, for he had maintained this gaze for 5 years.

For Möbius, it was always his turn to study others, not others to study him.

When researching these kinds of things, it's always best to take the initiative...

I wonder if Ruan Mei can hear anything or see what others are doing after she was hit by the stone...

But as long as Chen Luo doesn't stop it, it means it's okay to do it, right?

Moreover, Chen Luo even lifted the protection of the three stone statues.

Then I, Mebius, will not hold back.

But Mebius wouldn't do anything outrageous; he would only collect a lock of hair.

What if they find out? Then just say you're helping him collect data on the petrification process. Isn't the excuse ready?

……

"What do you mean it's okay to do it just because I didn't stop you? If you want to do it, you have to be prepared to pay the price," Chen Luo muttered under his breath.

I didn't stop them, but I didn't say it was okay to do it either.

The reason the stone statue wasn't protected was because Chen Luo removed the protection, allowing it to petrify successfully, okay?

While Chen Luo was lost in thought, he crushed the crystal ball in his hand that was sealed with wisps of smoke.

The instant the crystal ball was crushed, the smoke immediately flew away from Chen Luo at an astonishing speed.

Chen Luo let the smoke escape... Anyway, the entire Honkai Impact 3rd world was in Chen Luo's palm, so where could it escape to?

Chen Luo took advantage of this free time to admire the scenery of the Qianyu Academy teaching building in Changkong City.

"So much time has passed in the blink of an eye. Seeing this place where I first made my fortune, it feels like only a few months have passed..." Chen Luo looked at the familiar scenery with a nostalgic expression.

This is where Chen Luo first obtained the power of a Herrscher; the Herrscher of a Thousand's assistance to Chen Luo was considerable...

Wait a minute, it doesn't seem that big.

The power of the Herald of a Thousand People seems to have been consistently applied to rallying the members of the civilization at the front of the team.

But in any case, the position of a thousand law enforcers is now one of the foundations upon which Chen Luo stands.

Unfortunately, it cannot be used as a transcendence buff.

Because some people have already transcended this through puppets and domination.

Is there any possibility...?

"Ok?"

It's only been a few months since you became a Herrscher in this very school building.

"Oh, really?"

[Of course, this doesn't include the time spent on accelerated storylines in previous civilizations and other worlds.]

"Oh, you scared me..."

Because whether Chen Luo obtains the Primal Stone or deeply awakens his talent, he needs to constantly help others complete commissions. However, he cannot accept commissions while skipping the plot, so that time can be completely excluded from the time Chen Luo spends becoming stronger.

The smoke has already vanished... It seems she's really afraid of you.

"Yes." Chen Luo nodded, then took out his phone.

"Hey, Ellie? Time to get to work!"
