Their commission was suspicious.

As for the server being overwhelmed by traffic... there's always a solution.

Leaving aside the fact that Xiaoyuan has already begun to improve the servers for the Eternal Banquet, setting them so that once a server is full, other people cannot enter it to prevent overcrowding, it should be soon enough that Chen Luo can complete his commission with peace of mind.

Even without Xiaoyuan's intervention, Chen Luo could solve this problem by temporarily severing the connection between this server and other servers, directly summoning a golden Xiaoyuan, or even using Flower Stones.

However, Chen Luo did not do that because he already had enough raw stones for the time being.

10 Primogems is enough for Chen Luo to deal with any unexpected events, including attacks from Transcendent Beings. As long as he keeps his Primogems at 10 or more, Chen Luo can focus his main energy on fulfilling his wish rather than acquiring Primogems.

These two things are indeed the same thing, but with different focuses.

Chen Luo, who possesses the Seed of Transcendence and is capable of transcendence, should focus his energy on finding the Transcendence buff.

Because the transcendence buff may be fleeting.

And all Chen Luo had to do was... let things take their course.

However, as long as Chen Luo's raw stones are below 10, Chen Luo will immediately go to the Eternal Banquet to replenish them, in order to prevent any situation that might cause him to fail!

10 raw stones... You could take two slaps from a transcendent being.

Besides, who doesn't have someone who's above them protecting them? —Teacher, help me!

Chen Luo can now arrogantly tell people who post wishes that he's not interested in: I can make millions of raw stones in no time, why should I bother with you?

Chen Luo has now reached a point where he can do whatever he wants and accomplish whatever he desires without regard to cost.

"So what you want to accomplish is to wriggle around on my lap like a caterpillar?" Sitting on the sofa, Mebius put down the notebook he was writing in and looked at Chen Luo, who was resting his head on his lap and twisting and turning.

Because he could sense Chen Luo's joy at achieving financial freedom, Mebius didn't refuse Chen Luo's request to act cute, but he still felt that Chen Luo's behavior was somewhat childish.

"Isn't it because I'm tired? My body isn't made of raw gemstones. Even a savior can't save the world every day. He needs to relax sometimes. And relaxation doesn't require anything luxurious, does it?"

Chen Luo felt quite tired because he felt like he had accomplished a lot of amazing things in a very short time.

Fortunately, these were things that Chen Luo was genuinely willing to do, so his mind and emotions weren't too tense.

Even the most avid gamer will eventually get tired after playing games all day.

It's perfectly normal to take a break.

Chen Luo has many ways to deal with physical fatigue, but while there are ways to deal with mental fatigue, he prefers to let it recover on its own.

In short: Chen Luo no longer wants to use his brain.

For this reason, Chen Luo needs to maintain a normal sleep schedule every day.

Sleep does protect the body, but it also protects the mind.

Not having to sleep might sound like it would give you more free time, but just imagine not sleeping for a month and having your life filled with work and entertainment... and you'll feel immense pressure.

It's fair to say that Chen Luo is now being kept by magical girls.

Chen Luo can obtain the Primal Stones he needs through magical girls whenever he wants.

Of course, there's a price to pay... being coveted by countless magical girls for autographs, and not just autographs.

Especially the latter!

Chen Luo had already witnessed the diversity of magical girl fantasies from the requests he received within a minute!

[A two-way journey, congratulations!]

It's simply a matter of cause and effect.

Everything in this world has a cause for every effect. Chen Luo acquired so many Primal Stones as a reserve of energy because he chose to use 2 Primal Stones to save and revive the magical girl who died due to the corruption of the Soul Gem.

Trading 2 Primogems for a worry-free life—whether for the magical girl or for Chen Luo.

We should be even more grateful to Xiaoyuan, because it was only after her wish for a sustainable banquet was fulfilled that the hidden energy reserves had a way to become real raw stone reserves.

Chen Luo now deeply understands what "wish" means, and that it is the most precious thing in the power of desire...

The source of the world is indeed precious, but it pales in comparison to those burdened with desire and despair.

The large raw stone that Chen Luo had placed in his backpack suddenly flashed.

“If you really don’t want to use your brain, then listen to my instructions and first use your Shennong Ruler to 'enlighten' the sofa we’re sitting on. I’m curious, since the Shennong Ruler is said to be able to enlighten all things, can it also enlighten non-living things?” Möbius said calmly.

"Your idea is a bit dangerous."

"Give it a try?"

[Ding! You have a new request!]

“Okay, let’s give it a try.” Chen Chenlu nodded, seeing the inquisitive look in Möbius’s eyes.

Chen Luo finds it quite difficult to refuse reasonable requests.

Although the coincidence of the Everlasting Feast gave Chen Luo an inexhaustible supply of raw stones, he did not choose to give up and become complacent.

If Chen Luo were to remain fixated solely on the raw stones, he would likely never reach the level of a transcendent being.

From this perspective, the existence of the perpetual banquet has a certain negative effect on Chen Luo.

Without the original stone as a driving force, how could Chen Luo comprehend more desires and completely take control of the power of desires if he didn't work hard?

If only the perpetual banquet were gone...

Just kidding, how could Chen Luo possibly think that way?

Although exceeding the limit on the number of Primal Stones does not help with Transcendence, each step of Transcendence requires Primal Stones, such as obtaining the appropriate Transcendence buff.

Money can't buy love, but every step in the pursuit of love requires money.

It remains to be seen whether Chen Luo can achieve "transcendence" before running out of money.

The Primogems that Mebius provided for his research on the sofa were worth the signatures of two magical girls—400 Primogems.

[There was no moment of mourning for "a little girl's lollipop worth five Primogems"! The new unit of measurement immediately became—"an autograph requested by a magical girl worth 200 Primogems!"]

After Chen Luo got off Möbius's lap and the two moved away from the sofa, Chen Luo used the Shennong Ruler to transform the sofa...

However, nothing happened.

“Change to this potted plant.” Möbius seemed unsurprised by this and instead turned to a potted plant.

Chen Luo placed the Shennong Ruler on top of the potted plant and gently tapped it. The plant's color became even greener, and a small flower sprouted from it.

“The growth rate has increased several times.” Chen Luo turned to tell Möbius the analysis results of the humanized plugin.

“Hmm, it seems this Shennong Ruler can only enlighten living things. But that makes sense.” Möbius nodded.

"Continue with the initiation, this time with the All-Purpose Herb." Mebius took out another All-Purpose Herb that he had produced.

"Russian dolls, huh? But I don't think it'll grow into a universal herb." Although Chen Luo's tone was very confident, he still followed Möbius's advice and used the Shennong Ruler's power on the universal herb.

As Chen Luo had predicted, the all-purpose herb did not split into two sections.

This also confirms one of Chen Luo's conjectures: for the all-purpose herb to be effective, it needs the support of a thought or idea.

Fireworks and Mebius need no introduction. The reason the potted plant had an effect was because plants also have the desire or instinct to grow.

This instinct is something that neither the sofa nor the all-purpose grass that has detached from its host possesses.

"Okay, I'll start my research now. You can do whatever you want. Just don't bother me." Möbius picked up the all-purpose herb with tweezers.

But just as Möbius was about to continue his research, Chen Luo nudged Möbius's shoulder, then pointed to his own face after Möbius looked over.

"award."

“…” Mebius rolled his eyes at Chen Luo, then kissed him.

"This kiss has no soul at all! It's all so businesslike!"

“Alright, alright, I’ll make it up to you after the experiment is finished. I feel that this all-purpose herb has a very noticeable effect on me, making me more focused on my research. I’m aware of this tendency, but I don’t think there’s anything wrong with it,” Möbius explained.

"The all-purpose herb is just a tool; the important thing is to use it well." Chen Luo wasn't surprised.

Then Chen Luo sat on the sofa next to the laboratory and looked at Möbius.

Logically speaking, there shouldn't be sofas in the lab, but since Chen Luo came, there are now.

Möbius agreed because Chen Luo provided a dust-proof bubble, which solved the negative effect of the sofa easily affecting experiments in the laboratory.

Mebius had things to do, and Chen Luo also started drawing random rewards.

"Hmm... the result is not quite what I expected." After drawing three random rewards and finding no Herrscher abilities, Chen Luo stopped what he was doing.

The three random rewards Chen Luo just drew included items and skills, which were of some help to him and not a waste, but they were not Herrscher abilities.

At this rate, even if all the current random rewards are drawn, it's not certain that we'll be able to collect all the remaining missing Herrscher abilities.

[Let's just use Primogems. After all, fusing a Herrscher Core with Primogems only costs 2500 Primogems, roughly equivalent to 12.5 Magical Girl Signatures.]

Although both random items and Primogems are meant to be used, while there are now many ways to obtain Primogems, there are still no ways to obtain a large number of random rewards.

Random rewards can only be obtained as bonus rewards when completing quests of four stars or higher.

Random rewards are rare in three-star commissions.

Although Chen Luo encountered difficulties far less frequently than he received random rewards, the random rewards accumulated more and more...

But you can just hoard it; it won't expire.

You can hoard raw stones, random rewards, and salvation points.

Stock up, you can stock up!

As for using random rewards when preparing for transcendence, let's see if we can randomly generate a transcendence buff suitable for Chen Luo...

The probability of this is probably very low.

For details, please refer to Chen Luo's current conversion rate of the Transcendence buff for random items—0.

Items like Custom Essence and Blank Principle are additional items obtained along with Primal Stones when completing quests, rather than being obtained from random rewards.

Random rewards seem to only produce "tools".

The probability of a "tool" becoming a buff is very low.

However, this is not entirely a matter of random rewards; part of the reason is also due to Chen Luo.

Chen Luo didn't know what was suitable for him either.

The Seed of Transcendence judges whether something is suitable for him in a very primitive way—it all depends on Chen Luo's whims.

However, random rewards are not entirely useless.

Wouldn't the random rewards of the Void and Thunder Herrscher powers indirectly help?

Random items are all about randomness.

“Mebius, who should I ask to see the First Divine Key if I want to apply?” Chen Luo suddenly asked.

"Mei, why did you suddenly ask this question?"

"Well, because I want to taste the difference between the core of the Herrscher of Reason from the previous civilization and the previous civilization."

“…Stop fooling around,” Mebius said without turning his head.

"Fine, if you don't want me to see it, then I don't want you to see it. Oh, by the way, I'm going out for a bit."

"Ah."

Aren't you going to ask me what I'm doing out there?

“You’re not a child,” Mebius said calmly.

His tone was full of trust in Chen Luo.

Mebius was well aware of the situation between himself and Chen Luo. In the eyes of most people, Chen Luo was much more reliable than Mebius.

"See you tonight." Chen Luo said goodbye to Möbius and walked out of the laboratory.

Chen Luo directly refused Cang Xuan Dan Zhu's request to immerse himself in the Seven Saints Summoning game, which had been modified countless times, and then headed towards the dormitory.

"Of the 12 Herrscher powers, I'm only missing the Herrscher of Wind, Herrscher of Ice, Herrscher of Death, Herrscher of Fire, and Herrscher of Rock... I have all the Herrscher cores, or I can create them using Void Archives. However, in order not to sacrifice the powers of Corruption and Domination, I still need to find lower-level Herrscher powers to replace them."

"There's no need to worry about the Corruption Authority anymore, because it took a big bite out of the Herrscher Authority that the Honkai Consciousness gave to Fuyan, and it can be converted into talent at any time. Although it's probably only A-rank, it's enough. And now, all that's missing is the Herrscher of Domination!"

"Qianjie, it's been a long time. Did you miss me?" Chen Luo greeted the person he was looking for.

I miss you so much.

"...Do you want me to die, or do you want me to die?" Chen Luo became wary as he looked at Qian Jie, who was behaving abnormally.

"What do you think? You were the one who disgusted me first," Qianjie sneered.
