Their commission was suspicious.

Seeing this seemingly ordinary request, Chen Luo did have some thoughts.
But frankly speaking, this is the wish that an ordinary person should have.
Unlike the golden godhood spot that Chen Luo just presented, which could elevate someone to godhood in one step, or the Star God's wish, which is so important that it can even affect the fate of the entire world.
From the perspective of the Star Train, constantly traveling on the path of exploration, saving the world, extending a helping hand to those who have suffered injustice, and being unable to ignore acts that violate justice has become the norm.
However, the Star Train's reputation spread throughout the universe, and it even received a personal invitation from Pinocchio.
There are too many protagonists in a bar. Although everyone is a supporting character in their own life, after growing up, all expectations fall to nothing. It is normal to recognize oneself, enter society, and face the troubles of life.
Even before Chen Luo became a gifted individual, although he experienced hardships in fulfilling various requests from others, his life was still relatively smooth.
The dreams of those main characters may be deeply moving, but their efforts are often rewarded.
They were willing to die for their beliefs, to access broader and more wondrous powers, and to give everything for their ideals.
But the world's biggest problems are the mundane necessities of daily life.
"I heard you've submitted to the Pure Beauty Star God?" Star asked Vilit, the company's junior employee.
“Silver Branch is right, isn’t he? Sigh, this guy… The truth is, before he saved me, he told me: ‘Please swear that the pure beauty goddess Idrila is unparalleled in beauty.’ I said I could swear, but could you pull me out of this hole first? He said no. So tell me, is this guy even worthy of being dated?” Vilit said with some resentment.
"There was no other way; my life was at stake, so I repeated after him, 'The pure and beautiful goddess Deirila is unparalleled in beauty.' He then corrected me, saying, 'Idrila, not Deirila.' Who would come up with such a tongue-twisting name? I'm just an ordinary office worker; how would I know anything about a pure and beautiful star goddess? Of course, to save my life, I repeated it again—'The pure and beautiful goddess Idrila is unparalleled in beauty!'"
"Can't you be a little more positive?" Xing felt that Villette's voice and behavior seemed listless.
"Hmph, do you think I wanted this? I've been defeated by reality, do you understand?" Vilit sneered.
"Alright, Xing, here you go." Chen Luo patted Xing on the shoulder and handed her a palm-sized insect.
"what is this?"
"...I already told you to see the memories of your other two selves. This little thing is a breeding envoy, it eats insects. Some insects have come onto the Starry Sky Train, and the entire train is now inside the belly of a giant insect. You can use it to drive them away. Go and report this to Walter and the others, I'll talk to this brother," Chen Luo said.
Although Chen Luo did not activate his prophetic abilities, he took the opportunity to look into the future yesterday when he learned that Xing and the others were coming to Wash Car Star.
They roughly knew what Xing and his friends would encounter in the future—insects.
Many very large and difficult-to-handle insects.
This is a good opportunity to find some snacks for the big bug.
Chen Luo was not thrown off by the Starry Sky Train on purpose, because he only knew that the Starry Sky Train would be rear-ended, but he did not know when it would happen.
"Oh." Knowing that Chen Luo had something to do, Xing took the big bug and walked towards Walter and the others.
Chen Luo then looked at Vilit.
"Friend, shall we have a chat?"
"What should we talk about?" Villette still couldn't muster any enthusiasm.
“Let’s talk about the reality that’s defeating you,” Chen Luo said.
Are you here to mock me?
"Don't say that. I'm just an ordinary person. I was just an ordinary person three or four months ago. I'm not like those people who look extraordinary at first glance," Chen Luo said, raising three fingers to swear.
"I see..." Vilit glanced at the very sincere Chen Luo, seemingly convinced by him.
"When I was little, I thought I would have a life like the main character. I especially wanted to be a pilot, fly into space, and explore the universe in a magnificent spaceship. But my parents tricked me into thinking that if I wanted to realize my dream, I had to make a lot of money first, and if I wanted to make a lot of money, I had to work hard to get into a company." Villette chatted with Chen Luo in a rambling way.
Perhaps it was a feeling of shared suffering.
"You think joining the company is preventing you from realizing your dreams? You've made a fortune?" Chen Luo retorted.
"Stop talking, stop talking, my heart aches so much. Do I look like someone who would work or travel for the Interstellar Peace Corporation and then be forced to take an oath in a cave?" Vilit revealed a look of unbearable recollection of the past.
"Later I gave up my fancy dream of becoming a pilot and settled down to working at the company. Maybe this is the life that extras are destined to have?"
"A minor role...?" Chen Luo stroked his chin, deep in thought.
In reality, it seems that apart from a few main characters, the rest are just there to fill in the numbers.
No, that's not quite right either.
Everyone has had dreams, but they are gradually defeated by reality and constantly struggle to make a living.
Occasionally, after finishing overtime work, I look up at the starry sky and remember my past wishes.
"But seeing Silver Branch has given me a bit of a get-rich-quick idea. Maybe this is the turning point in my life! Such a handsome and imposing knight would look great if he were properly groomed!" Vilit suddenly perked up.
“I gave him this suggestion and told him that we could promote pure beauty and make currency a part of beauty. This would spread very quickly and be more efficient than him promoting it himself. He was very impressed by this and kept saying how amazing it was.”
This seemed to energize Vilit.
Yinzhi is a pure and kind-hearted person, just like Xing, possessing a childlike heart. She is an idealistic and perfect human being, and it is difficult to find such a person in real life.
“I’m thinking of contacting the marketing department after I get off the bus to find a suitable salesperson to become the company’s product spokesperson. That way, I can become an agent. Do you think this kid is better suited to the idol route or the talent route?” Villette couldn’t hide her joy.
"Let's be realistic," Chen Luo patted Vilit on the shoulder.
"Hmph, this is what I call facing reality, embracing reality, and ultimately defeating reality!"
"I'll give you two choices," Chen Luo suddenly said, holding up two fingers.
"Huh? What? Are you trying to steal my idea?" Villette looked at Chen Luo warily.
"...I don't know if Silver Branch is a turning point in your life, but I'm sure it is. So I'm giving you two choices: reality or your dreams. It's up to you to choose," Chen Luo said.
"What do you mean?"
"Don't you really want to be a pilot, fly into space and explore the universe in a magnificent spaceship? I can give you a luxurious spaceship, along with 1000 million credits as initial capital, and some life-saving items, so you can realize your dream."
"What? Really?"
"Why would I lie to you? Haven't you heard of the Star Train? Would the members of the Star Train lie?"
"Wow! I choose this one, I choose this one!" Villette exclaimed excitedly.
That's 1,000 million credits and a luxury spaceship.
This was my childhood dream!
Faced with 1,000 million credits, any hesitation, even for a second, would be disrespectful to those credits!
[Ding! You have a new request!]
【Ideal vs. Reality】: 300 raw stones.
See, even an ordinary person defeated by reality can burst forth with immense anticipation when faced with an opportunity to potentially realize their dreams.
The Seed of Transcendence in Chen Luo's backpack is shining brightly.
It wasn't because Chen Luo fulfilled someone's wish, but because Chen Luo truly understood the difference between the ideal in reality and the reality of the ideal.
The bar's patrons often held onto their ideals, but Chen Luo rarely saw ideals defeated by reality. His conversation with one of them gave Chen Luo some inspiration and enlightenment, which is why Chen Luo paid him.
"Once the traffic problem is resolved, I'll find someone to help you take care of these things," Chen Luo said.
"Benefactor! Benefactor, what's your name? Benefactor, who are you?" Vilit was practically begging Chen Luo for help.
But didn't this benefactor say that he was just an ordinary person three or four months ago?
"Me? Ever heard of Paradise?"
“I’ve heard of it, of course I’ve heard of it. I’ve even dealt with Paradise Adventurers. Are you a Paradise Adventurer too?” Vilit understood.
As an employee of the Interstellar Peace Corporation, Villette had dealings with members of Paradise, whose business involved interstellar transportation.
The common perception of these amusement park adventurers is that they are often very close to becoming adventurers, yet they are very powerful and can help with some seemingly strange wishes.
"More or less," Chen Luo nodded.
"By the way, benefactor, what is the second option you didn't mention earlier?"
"It's nothing. The choice I just gave you was a clash between ideals and reality. If you choose ideals, you'll get everything you deserve. If you choose reality... I'll give you something even the Amber King would want."
"With this, hand it over to Void Treasury, the head of the game department at Interstellar Peace Corporation. This might not get you promoted to P45 in Interstellar Peace Corporation, but it will definitely get you above P40. The bonus should be substantial too, at least several hundred million credits, right?" Chen Luo said.
Putting aside the importance of the Origin of the World to the Amber King, even if the high-ranking members of the Interstellar Peace Corporation or the Emperor himself were to use it, its uses would be endless.
This kind of use is difficult to measure in terms of credit points.
Therefore, Chen Luo will only have Vilit give this thing to Void Treasury.
It was just a matter of transferring money from one hand to the other, so Chen Luo wasn't bothered.
The vast emptiness holds all these treasures, which are exactly what we need.
"!!!" Vilit was struck dumb.
You mean I just gave up a P40 or higher position in Interstellar Peace Corporation and hundreds of millions of credits in exchange for a large spaceship and 1,000 million credits?
"My benefactor, my benefactor, please let me choose again!"
"Oh, if you had to choose again, what would you do? Would your dreams crumble in the face of reality, or would you waver between them? You know, 1,000 million credits, plus a luxury spaceship, is enough to ensure you a life of comfort. So, are you going to give up your dreams and climb to a higher level of reality?" Chen Luo looked directly into Vilit's eyes.
“I…I…” Villette’s heart wavered.
Although he was indeed wavering, this also proved that Villette had never given up on his dream of becoming a pilot; he had just kept it to himself.
Otherwise, if he hesitated even for a moment, it would be disrespectful to hundreds of millions of credits.
"Just kidding. Reality and dreams are inseparable. My willingness to support dreams doesn't mean I don't understand reality." Chen Luo's gaze suddenly softened.
"so?"
"I'm giving you both. A position at P40 or higher in the Interstellar Peace Corporation, hundreds of millions of credits, the qualification to be recognized and remembered by the higher-ups of the Interstellar Peace Corporation, and a luxurious spaceship. Consider it your return for the help you've given me," Chen Luo said.
Being able to predict the future is very different from talking to someone in person.
Standing beside Vilit, Chen Luo truly felt the clash between desire and reality, and the tremor of his own soul's innate talent.
Moreover, awakening the other party's long-suppressed desires also provided Chen Luo with considerable assistance.
"Who exactly are you, my benefactor?"
“I already said we’re Paradise Adventurers. It’s just that we have different roles. In the Paradise, some people are in charge of adventures, and some people are in charge of the Paradise. I’m the one in charge of the Paradise. The person in charge of the Paradise, Chen Luo.” Chen Luo extended his hand to Vilit.
"That...that person who claimed to have deceived the Star God of Pleasure with his mortal body to gain power and thus defeat the Star God's Pleasure Envoy?"
Is this how the outside world perceives me?
“It’s just a recent rumor,” Villette said, shaking her head.
"I see... Here. Give it to the head of the game department, Void Treasury." Chen Luo shook his head, said nothing, and simply took out a wisp of the World Source contained in a bottle.
But when the Source of the World appeared before Vilit, a miniature insect suddenly emerged from Vilit's armor and flew toward the Source of the World.
"Snap!" Chen Luo grabbed the insect.
"This is... a real stinging insect? It's so small? Never mind, big insect, come here, there's a snack to eat!" Chen Luo shouted at the breeding envoy.
The brooding envoy also flew over quickly and swallowed the small insect that Chen Luo was holding in his hand.
"Huh? What did you say? This thing is the true overlord of the true stinging insects? The gigantic true stinging insect outside that swallowed the Starry Sky Train whole is the smallest?"
Chen Luo was stunned for a moment after hearing the feedback from the giant bug.
What followed was some regret.
You should take a closer look.
Although in the end it will still be fed to the big bug.
Yesterday, the user-friendly plugin didn't reveal too much information to Chen Luo, in order to maintain some mystery.
The user-friendly plugin hasn't spoken yet, not because it can't remember these things, but because it wants Chen Luo to experience the feeling of regret.
Who would have thought that the smallest and weakest true cricket is the highest-ranking among true crickets?
I regret it, but not completely.
Although he could use the time rewind ability to pull the overlord insect out of the giant insect's mouth for a closer look, Chen Luo still chose to give up.
In any case, whether it's the small but highest-ranking True Stinger Worm or the largest but lowest-ranking True Stinger Worm that swallowed the Planet Train, their final fate is to be fed to the big worm!
In fact, after the breeding order was issued, the giant worm that swallowed the Starry Sky Train had already begun to tremble with fear.
It seemed that they had realized they had accidentally eaten something terrible.
The reason why the overlord True Stinger, which had hidden inside Vilit's armor when he fell into the cave, came out was because the allure of the World Source to living beings was simply too great.
"The train issue is settled. Next stop, the Void Star God!" Chen Luo's gaze was suddenly drawn to the far reaches of the sky.
The reason Chen Luo chose the Void Star God as the second stop today was because he suddenly thought of something.
