Their commission was suspicious.

“Wabibabu…”

……

"Hmm, so this is the kind of otherworld it is? Although using a bar to make friends seems a bit of a loss in terms of maximizing profits, it won't disrupt the stability of the original world." Thor mused.

"Actually, it's because I don't really have a big need to plunder the world's resources. Compared to plundering resources, building friendly relationships with some friends who accidentally wandered into the bar and obtaining raw stones by helping them fulfill their wishes is the best route for me," Chen Luo made no attempt to hide his desire for their wishes.

Even if you know that the other party will grant your wish and you will receive a reward that you cannot understand, how could you not make a wish?

If you don't make a wish, plenty of others will.

There's nothing to hide; being open and honest is actually a better choice.

"A wish? Any wish?" Kanna asked, chewing on her lollipop.

"Any wish is fine. As long as it doesn't cross my bottom line." Chen Luo nodded.

If Chen Luo's bottom line is violated, then the bottom line can be adjusted appropriately depending on how many raw stones the other party gives.

For example, Chen Luo doesn't like having his body examined, except when the relationship is good and the other party gives him a lot of attention.

But sometimes the bottom line is unbreakable.

"I want lollipops, more lollipops! I want to get two for my friend, is that okay?" Kanna asked, raising her hand.

[Ding! You have a new request!]

"Of course, you might not believe it, but I started out making a living with lollipops." Chen Luo reached out and handed Kanna 10 lollipops that the little girl couldn't refuse.

"I didn't realize you were so popular with kids. Do gods like children too?" Kobayashi asked, somewhat surprised.

Although Xiaolin knew that Chen Luo was not the omnipotent god of this world, wasn't Chen Luo also the river god?

Kobayashi doesn't care; anyone who can delay his deadline is a true god!

"Ahem, of course, let me tell you, the lollipop in my hand tastes really good." Although Chen Luo was a little nervous inside, he was still able to keep a straight face.

Starting a business with lollipops ≠ starting a business by giving lollipops to little girls

"Don't you need to pay a price? Unlimited demands aren't a good thing." Thor, seeing Kanna's happy expression, couldn't bear to stop her, but still offered a reminder.

“Theoretically speaking, it’s not really necessary, because raw stones are what I need most. But if you’re feeling a bit embarrassed about constantly getting things for free, you can give me something you find interesting,” Chen Luo said.

"Hmm... Maid catalog?" Kobayashi pondered for a moment before asking.

"...If you're willing, no problem."

Kobayashi truly lives up to his reputation as a die-hard maid fanatic; he can link everything to maids.

"What about me? What about me? What should I get?" Perhaps because of her elementary school habits, Kanna raised her hand again to ask.

“You’re still young, just accept the reward honestly. Oh, right, besides the lollipop, I think there’s something else you really need,” Chen Luo said, then placed an item on the table and pushed it toward Kanna.

"What is this?" Kanna asked curiously, examining the square box in front of her.

"A solar-powered power bank. The effect is just as you understand it; it can charge any container. It only needs to be exposed to light to slowly restore its energy. Five minutes of exposure to light restores enough energy to power a city for two years," Chen Luo explained.

This item wasn't something Chen Luo found from the lottery; rather, it was a seven-star item found in the treasure vault of the Wealth Dao Fruit.

The silver item, after its core ability has been enhanced, has reached the 8-star level.

That is why the rate of energy recovery is so astonishing, almost like a perpetual motion machine.

Theoretically speaking, this item is more suitable for use in large safe zones, but Kanna needs it more right now.

Chen Luo has never lacked magical items; what he lacks is a way to transform magical items into raw stones.

A man's knees are worth gold; now is the time to cash in.

"That's outrageous! This is far too valuable; we can't accept it." Kobayashi shook his head repeatedly.

"No need to refuse, anyway, this thing is of no use to me." Chen Luo shook his head.

"I want it..." Connor stared at the solar-powered power bank in front of her, her love for it evident.

[Ding! You have a new request!]

Children can never hide their expressions.

Kanna Kamui is also a dragon with the ability to attack with electricity. She often plugs her tail into a socket to recharge herself.

For Kangna, a power bank that can charge almost infinitely is simply irresistible.

"Take it if you want it," Chen Luo said.

“But…it’s too expensive.” Kanna looked very hesitant.

"If you really want it but feel you have to pay the price, then just come to the bar often and ask me for lollipops. A job that pays well, is easy, and is close to home is irresistible to office workers, and a commission that pays well, is easy, and is easy to complete is irresistible to me. Providing me with a large amount of raw stones is more tangible than any other reward," Chen Luo said.

"Okay, it's a deal. Pinky promise." Kanna stared intently at Chen Luo, and after confirming that he wasn't lying, she extended her little finger.

"Okay, pull the hook."

Thor, standing nearby, was somewhat helpless but couldn't stop it, because this power bank was indeed very suitable for Kanna.

Moreover... Kanna charges her batteries at home every day, which requires a lot of electricity, and Kobayashi might indeed be unable to afford it.

"Thor, is there anything you want?" After dealing with Kanna, Chen Luo turned to Thor.

"I don't want anything, I just want Kobayashi." Thor shook his head, then hugged Kobayashi's arm, looking blissfully happy.

"Oh, really?"

“Of course.” Thor nodded affirmatively.

"Believe it or not, I only need three sentences to make you willingly make a wish?" Chen Luo held up three fingers.

“I don’t believe it,” Thor shook his head.

In fact, Thor's impression of Chen Luo was not bad, and he did not see any danger in Chen Luo's behavior and actions. However, Thor always felt that this kind of unequal exchange seemed unfair.

Of course, more importantly, Chen Luo only took one minute to make Xiao Lin respect him like a god.

Thor is so sour.

"Come here for a moment." Chen Luochang beckoned to Tor, then got up and walked to the side.

Thor hesitated for a moment, then glanced at Kobayashi before following after him.

Thor was highly skilled and daring, and didn't think Chen Luo could do anything to him.

After arriving at a place a little further away from Kobayashi and Kanna, Chen Luo raised his first finger.

“First, Thor, I know you like Kobayashi very much, but have you thought about the issue of lifespan? Kanna is still a child, but she is already 14,000 years old, while Kobayashi can only live for 100 years.”

"!!!" Thor couldn't hold back any longer when he heard Chen Luo's first words.

Thor wasn't unaware of these things before, but he hadn't thought about them in this way. Call it self-avoidance or fear of facing it, but when this fact was brutally displayed before Thor, his emotions were violently stirred.

This creates a surge of airflow, resulting in a tremendous sense of oppression for those around them.

"Secondly, your father, the Emperor of the End, will soon come to this world, take you away from Kobayashi, and bring you back to another world."

Kobayashi and Kanna, who were standing nearby, saw Thor's demeanor at that moment, and as soon as they came over, they saw Thor's momentum vanish.

Chen Luo, who was observing Thor up close, could see the blankness in Thor's eyes even more clearly.

Thor's father was the End Emperor, the leader of the Chaos Dragon Clan, whose power was terrifying and who held immense authority in Thor's heart.

“Third, I can help you perfectly solve these two problems.” Chen Luo held up his third finger.

……

"Mr. Chen Luo is such a good person." After Thor sat back down next to Kobayashi, he couldn't help but praise Chen Luo.

[First he was deferential, then he was obsequious.jpg]

"What kind of bad person could help others revise deadlines? But why did your attitude change so quickly? And what were you two exchanging so suspiciously just now?" Kobayashi asked with some suspicion.

It's not that Xiaolin is being paranoid or has a persecution complex; the key point is that Xiaolin personally witnessed Chen Luo and Thor acting suspiciously over there, talking about something, occasionally pointing at Xiaolin, and the two seemed to be exchanging something.

To be precise, Chen Luo gave Thor something.

Could it be some kind of gadget that can make Kobayashi eat Thor's tail meat without anyone noticing?

Thinking of this, Xiaolin's heart tightened.

"What do you mean by sneaking around? Mr. Chen Luo and I are discussing serious matters, okay? Look, 100 ways to cook dragon tail meat!" Thor excitedly pulled out a cookbook with a dragon cover.

"..." Upon seeing this recipe, Kobayashi's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally died completely.

The thing I feared has finally happened.

"How can there be such a strange thing?" Xiaolin complained to Chen Luo.

Kobayashi didn't want to eat Thor's tail meat; she simply didn't want to.

"You're asking me? Who should I ask? I did have this in my backpack, so I gave it to her. The reason there's such a bizarre recipe is because dragons are a powerful race, and dragon meat is a special ingredient containing enormous energy. I guess someone was bored and wrote this recipe."

Objectively speaking, dragons certainly possess a considerable amount of energy within their bodies. If processed properly and absorbed by the human body, consuming dragon meat could undoubtedly lead to longevity.

"I see... Is there nothing else?"

"No, not at all," Thor shook his head first.

"Do you think this cookbook isn't enough? Do you need me to get you something better?" Chen Luo asked.

“One recipe is enough, and besides, I don’t eat your tail meat,” Kobayashi complained to Tohru.

"Yes, yes, yes." Thor readily admitted his mistake, but remained unrepentant.

In Thor's pocket, besides the cookbook containing 100 ways to cook dragon tail meat, there was also a red gem.

A red gemstone shaped like a blood droplet.

According to Chen Luo, it is a magical item that can grant immortality simply by drinking it.

After Thor truly sensed the surging, transformative power emanating from this item, he chose to believe.

This is one of Thor's two commissions—

[The most heartfelt confession]: May Kobayashi have the lifespan to accompany Tohru.

Reward: 1000 Primogems + 30 points of Thor's favorability.

Difficulty: Four stars

Fortunately, Chen Luo has the ability to mass-produce materialized souls, which is especially effective in granting immortality.

The other request... wasn't that Thor asked Chen Luo to deal with the End Emperor, but rather that he shouldn't tell Kobayashi about the materialization of souls beforehand, so it would be best to find an item as an excuse.

As for what Thor thinks, that's none of Chen Luo's business. Chen Luo just needs to complete the mission.

Thor didn't want to wish for Chen Luo to deal with the Emperor of the End, but Chen Luo said they'd talk about it later and gave Thor a crystal to summon himself.

The main reason is that after Thor issued a large commission, the third commission was too small.

[It's time for the loving father and filial daughter to begin!]

As for how to deal with the Emperor of the End... If before encountering Thor and Kanna, Chen Luo could only try to use non-violent methods to make the Emperor of the End leave as peacefully as possible, but now it's different.

In just the short time they spent together, through bribery with lollipops and materialized souls, plus the favorability reward after completing the mission, Chen Luo successfully made Kanna and Thor's favorability towards him reach 7%.

What Thor and Kanna think of Chen Luo is unimportant, and Chen Luo doesn't care either. What matters most is that Chen Luo has gained the friendship of the dragons.

Now... Chen Luo is only one step away from becoming a Dragon Knight!

Just one more!

Just one more...

"Where can I find the last dragon?" Chen Luo paced back and forth in the bar.

Chen Luo's dilemma wasn't because he had no choice, but because he had too many options.

Putting aside other things, in the world where Kobayashi lives, there are a few dragons that are related to Kobayashi and his friends and are easy to deal with.

The first dragon is the Unicorn Dragon, Elma Kamii, a very professional foodie who will do anything for delicious food. Her magic comes from eating.

This was easy for Chen Luo, who owned a bar.

The second dragon, Fafnir, is an evil dragon who loves collecting treasures. After becoming addicted to games, he lost his ambition and turned to collecting game items.

It's easier to handle now, since Chen Luo has already obtained quite a bit of treasure from the Wealth Dao Fruit.

And the drop rate of game items can be secretly altered by the Herrscher of Corruption.

The third dragon is Lucoa, one of the creator gods and supreme gods of Mesopotamia.
