Their commission was suspicious.

Furthermore, Chen Luo made minor modifications to Hua Huo's consciousness, deleting some insignificant memories, such as those related to the Shennong Ruler and the All-Purpose Grass.

The roles of both parties have now returned to normal.

Hanabi's eyes began to look lost.

Then he became shocked, angry, and finally burst into laughter out of sheer rage.

"Chen! Luo!" These two words seemed to be squeezed out from between Huahuo's teeth, tinged with considerable anger from the owner of the voice.

"Hmm, what's wrong?" Chen Luo tossed the mask, which carried the power of the Pleasure Token, back into his backpack.

"Good, very good! I have never suffered such a big setback with anyone! As expected of the Pleasure Envoy recognized by the God of Pleasure, you have gone further than me on the path of pleasure!"

Hanabi raised her head again, her face full of smiles.

However, that smile was full of threat.

"I shouldn't have underestimated any of the Order Envoys, especially one recognized by the God of Joy. Your methods are superior to mine! But I will not admit defeat. I want to see who will have the last laugh." A smile of excessive pleasure appeared on Hanabi's lips.

"It's definitely me. After all, as long as I want the contract, it will take effect again." Chen Luo produced the contract with Hanabi in his hand.

Hanabi's smile froze instantly.

Having retained most of her memories, Hanabi felt extremely uncomfortable whenever she thought about how she had doted on Chen Luo just now.

With a deep fear of...

Who is the firework?

That, perhaps, is also fireworks.

But it's not the kind of fireworks that Hanabi wanted to become.

Hanabi looked at the contract in Chen Luo's hand with considerable apprehension.

“I’ve heard from Sambo that your bar is known for its gentle and attentive service to its guests. If you were toying with me, a guest who just arrived at the bar, and the other guests found out, it would surely affect the bar’s reputation, wouldn’t it? How about we each take a step back? I will no longer covet your Pleasure Envoy Mask, and you will completely terminate this contract?” Hanabi asked again with a smile.

"A compromise? Perhaps you've learned your lesson and know the art of language, trying to make me believe that what you want is my messenger mask and never mentioning anything else that could cause me trouble, attempting to lower my guard. But I'm sorry, you haven't even made a wish, and I really can't fulfill your excessive request." Chen Luo shook his head regretfully.

If Hanabi is willing to issue a four-star or higher request, Chen Luozhen wouldn't mind terminating her contract with Hanabi.

In any case, only wishes require the heartfelt consent of both parties, but contracts only require a result. Chen Luo could force Hua Huo's hand to sign the contract and it would still be fulfilled, so this contract was not a difficult thing for Chen Luo.

However, Huahuo had just sent Chen Luo a request that prevented him from terminating the contract, so she couldn't send out any large requests for the time being and needed to wait a while.

One option is 500 Primogems plus a follower Firework, and the other is abandoning the follower.

Any normal person would know which of these two options to choose, right?

"This is going too far? Don't go too far!" Hanabi said through gritted teeth.

Fireworks couldn't hold back any longer.

"If you want me to terminate the contract, that's fine, but let's talk about it when you can post a four-star commission. Sambo should have told you about these things, right?" Chen Luo said.

Chen Luo didn't think that Hua Huo would dare to come to the bar and try to trick him out of the Commander Mask when she knew nothing about bars.

The other party at least knew one clue: Chen Luo was willing to fulfill other people's wishes and benefit from it.

Perhaps they have a clue that Chen Luo is a puppeteer.

But it doesn't matter now.

“It’s impossible for one person to consistently publish high-quality commissions,” Sambo reminded him from the side.

"As for being misunderstood by the bar patrons, I'm not afraid... Do you think they'll believe you or me?" Chen Luo appeared very relaxed.

"..." by Hanabi

"New customers might be fooled by you, but only if you can actually meet new customers."

"..."

“I know you have the ability to transform into other people, and since many of the bar's patrons are planning to visit Pinocchio, this gives you the opportunity to become me… However, if you go a little too far, don't blame me for renewing the contract. If you don't go too far, I can allow you to try challenging me. A fun challenge. And the prize is the complete dissolution of the contract.” Chen Luo waved the contract in his hand.

"Okay! It's a deal!" Hanabi's gaze followed the contract in Chen Luo's hand.

"Keep it up, girl who can change her appearance a thousand times. Maybe you can fool me by turning into someone I know," Chen Luo encouraged.

"Hmph, so arrogant? I accept this challenge." Hanabi's gaze towards Chen Luo at this moment, besides the anger from almost losing herself, also showed a strong competitive spirit.

Then he turned around and sat down near Chen Luo, continuing to eat sunflower seeds.

If Hua Huo wants to beat Chen Luo, she must first carefully observe the habits of the people around Chen Luo.

It would be even better if they were acquaintances who were not too unfamiliar, but not completely known, and with whom one would naturally feel a good impression.

"Hope you have a great time at Pinocchio. I'll be leaving for a bit." Chen Luo stood up, greeted Hanabi and Sambo, and then walked towards the bar entrance.

If nothing unexpected happens, Hanabi will likely ask Sambo for more detailed information.

Sambo himself certainly knew what he was doing...

At least Sambo didn't tell Hanabi that Chen Luo possessed the ability to see through any illusions.

Chen Luo hoped that Hua Huo could pretend to be an acquaintance of his and then keep sending him requests that matched the persona she was playing.

Earning raw stones is nothing to be ashamed of.

Fireworks stared intently at Chen Luo, recording every action and tone of his voice until he walked out of the bar and slowly closed the door.

Hanabi also heard Chen Luo's last words as he entered the bar: "Mébius, do you want to change your hair color? I can help you with my new skills. Although I've always thought you do quite well with your hair color. Or, how about trying the effects of Shennong Ruler's Panacea?"

"The All-Purpose Herb? The Shennong Ruler?" Hanabi frowned.

For some reason, Hanabi always felt like she had forgotten something.

"Sambo, let's continue our conversation about Chen Luo. As payment, I'll give you what you want." Hanabi called out to Sambo, who was quietly walking towards the entrance of number 2.

Chapter 2210 Chen Luo's Methods and Costs for Achieving Freedom from Raw Stones

In Chen Luo's view, Mebius was simply a born divine body.

Because Mebius's hair was actually green—a very suitable hair color.

Moreover, as a researcher, Möbius did indeed have a great need for such small devices that could enhance intelligence.

For Möbius, who pursued truth, the higher his intellect was, the better. Regardless of the type of intellect.

The only problem is that when using the Shennong Ruler, the type of wisdom that specializes in a particular idea is more likely to emerge depending on what the other person is thinking about.

This ability is highly random for those who overthink things.

But for Möbius, who spent 80% of his time in research thinking about how to pursue the truth and how to go further on the path of pursuing the infinite, it had absolutely no impact.

The pale green Shennong Ruler gently touched Möbius's head, and then a magical herb sprouted from Möbius's head.

After hearing how to use the Shennong Ruler and hoping that Chen Luo would use the tool on him, Möbius kept looking at himself in the mirror. When he saw the all-purpose grass sprouting from his head and slowly unfurling, he directly grasped the all-purpose grass and gently pulled it out.

The all-purpose grass that grows on the other person's head doesn't actually adhere as strongly to the host as one might imagine. While it won't suddenly fall off during normal activities, it doesn't encounter much resistance when intentionally pulled out.

That's roughly equivalent to the force of pulling out a hair.

After Möbius plucked the all-purpose plant, he carefully examined it.

Although Mebius never understood why Chen Luo's random items could produce special effects, he never gave up on researching them. While he might not be able to study the random items themselves, he might be able to make some progress in researching their derivatives.

"How long can this all-purpose herb survive after being separated from its host?" Mebius asked, his eyes fixed on her.

“The harvested all-purpose grass is just like ordinary grass. It won’t cause any problems within a certain period of time. However, if it’s not preserved, it will gradually wither due to dehydration until it becomes a seed. But what sustains its existence is not water in the conventional sense, but human thoughts,” Chen Luo said.

"Are there any costs or limitations to using the Shennong Ruler's ability?"

"For the user of the Shennong Ruler, namely me, there is no consumption, but for the user, it will consume some of the current thought. However, it is harmless to the human body. However, if the Shennong Ruler is used on a person several times in a short period of time, the effect of the panacea will be slightly different."

This explains why the effects of the first and second uses of the All-Purpose Herb in Fireworks are not entirely the same.

People's thoughts often fluctuate due to their emotions. If one emotion fades, it will have a subtle impact on a person's current thoughts.

For example... the post-coital period.

However, as long as the intention is strong enough—like the pursuit of fun by the amusement-loving Fireworks, or Möbius's pursuit of truth—multiple uses of the Panacea will not have a significant impact, and the resulting deviation in thought will remain within the controllable range. At least it can be guaranteed that the degree of deviation in the Panacea's effect will not be too great.

For those who don't have a strong current idea and are prone to losing interest quickly, the effect of the herb will be very random.

“Your ‘omnipotent herb’ should perhaps be called ‘wisdom herb’ rather than ‘omnipotent herb.’ It’s used to enhance the wisdom of certain ideas,” Möbius said.

“No, ‘omnipotent herb’ is more accurate, because… currently, the Shennong Ruler only has two users, both of whom are ‘technicians.’ If it were used on a warrior, it might transform from a wisdom herb into a combat herb. However, this hasn’t been tested,” Chen Luo explained.

Hanabi isn't a formally trained researcher, but her biggest ambition is indeed to research fun, or rather, to research and create more fun. In that sense, she is a technician.

What Hanabi lacks is not fighting power, but ideas and inspiration. More like a screenwriter hidden behind the scenes than a warrior.

The same goes for Mebius.

Both Mebius and Dio pursued the goal of transcending humanity, but Mebius, as a researcher, obtained a herb that was more geared towards researching supportive technologies. However, if it were Dio, it might have been a combat herb that allowed him to break through human limits or make him, as a vampire, fearless of sunlight.

Since it's a versatile herb, it can't only have one function: enhancing intelligence.

“I’ll use this blade of grass for research, and then I’ll use the Shennong Ruler on myself,” Möbius said.

[Ding! You have a new request!]

"Okay." After Chen Luo nodded, Shennong Ruler gently tapped Mebius's head, and a universal herb suddenly appeared on Mebius's head.

"If green hair means you can't use Shennong Grass, can you use green hair instead to grow grass on your head and achieve the same buff effect?" Mebius asked, turning his head as he looked at the grass growing on his head again.

"No, of course, I just want to keep it as a keepsake." Chen Luo plucked the second blade of grass that had just grown on Mebius's head and put it in his backpack.

The third time the Shennong Ruler was used on Mebius, no grass appeared on Mebius's head, and Mebius himself did not seem to change at all.

But Mebius had already sensed that the Shennong Ruler was working.

Mebius's green hair, at this moment, actually complements the effect of the Shennong Ruler.

"What are you thinking about?" Mebius asked, noticing the increasingly strange look in Chen Luo's eyes.

Mebius's intuition told him that Chen Luo seemed to be thinking something very rude.

"It's nothing, I just feel that you and the Shennong Ruler have a good compatibility. Oh, by the way, in this form, if you want to cancel the effect of the Shennong Ruler, you can only shave your head..."

"What?!" Even the seemingly aloof Möbius was actually very concerned about his image.

Even though Mebius wears a white coat every day, there are slight modifications to the length, style, and placement of his medals, a fact confirmed by Alicia.

"...Or come find me."

"Say it all at once next time."

"Okay. But you have to pay me for coming to me."

"...Raw stone?"

“Of course…no.” Chen Luo looked at Mebius with a bright smile.

"Hmph, I know." Mebius snorted coldly and then paid no more attention to it.

"What? Are you angry?" Chen Luo approached Mebius and stroked his green hair.

"No, I'm actually quite pleased. I didn't expect you to be more interested in me than in the raw gems," Möbius said coolly, while jotting down the inspiration that had just struck him in his notebook.

"Ahem, of course," Chen Luo said without a hint of guilt.

As for the real reason...

That's because Chen Luo has already achieved a certain degree of freedom regarding raw stones.

Although Chen Luo, who only had a little over 10 raw stones, said this, it seemed somewhat exaggerated.

However, Chen Luo didn't have many raw stones, but he had plenty of hidden energy reserves.

Of course, this doesn't refer to the 1000+ Primogems that could be obtained by killing the Night King, or the wishes that Chen Luo could fulfill immediately if he wanted to. Rather, it refers to the magical girls at the Eternal Banquet.

Others go to the Yongxu Banquet to eat, but Chen Luo goes to the banquet to buy goods.

Perhaps not every magical girl wants to ask Chen Luo for an autograph every single moment, but there will always be magical girls who want to ask Chen Luo for an autograph.

When Chen Luo went to a server, he could receive more than 1 signature requests per minute... It's not that there are only 1 magical girls willing to post requests in a server, but rather that apart from these 1 signature requests, the other requests are more or less excessive.

The size is slightly larger than the signature.

Even if a commission only gives 10 or even 5 Originium, which is the price of a lollipop, 10,000 commissions would amount to 50,000 Originium.

As long as Chen Luo is willing to sit idly at the Eternal Banquet, he will face an endless stream of commissions, and it will be easy and enjoyable.

This indirectly fulfilled Chen Luo's wish to have countless requests delivered to his door while he was at home, and to be able to complete them all with ease.
