Their commission was suspicious.

“Yeah, what’s up? Apparently, the Harmony Festival is about to start, and Pinocchio is known as the best tourist destination in the galaxy, so the bar’s customers are planning to go there for a team-building event,” Raiden Mei said.

Although it's unclear why Hanabi asked, since Chen Luo didn't stop her, it means she can tell him.

"It's nothing. If you come to Pinocchio, you can come find me. I've been here for a while now and can show you around," Hanabi said with a smile, sounding very friendly.

"Oh." Raiden Mei didn't immediately agree, but Hanabi didn't mind and simply closed the bar door and left.

"Huang Quan, the Star God of Joy has arrived. Come quickly and discuss this with us," Chen Luo called out after seeing Hua Huo leave.

When Huang Quan turned his gaze over, the Star God of Joy, Aha, had already reverted to his Star God form, making him extremely conspicuous in the bar.

"He seems vaguely familiar. Have we met somewhere before?" Huang Quan asked Aha after coming to Chen Luo's side.

Although Huang Quan was certain that he had never seen a star god like this before, he still had a feeling of familiarity.

“You should be familiar with him. This is the bastard who gave you the part of me that I ate from the Void Star God.” Chen Luo nodded.

"Ugh?"

"Don't be so harsh. After all, the ending is good. The only pity is that you traveled too far, and you missed many exciting scenes." Aha shook his head regretfully.

Aha was watching as Huang Quan brought Chen Luo back to the world of the Starry Sky Railway and led him through countless backtracking challenges. However, Aha could no longer see Chen Luo after Huang Quan took him to the World Bubble to save the world.

Even though he only saw the first part, Aha was still worth the ticket price, since he didn't pay anything and just got to see a great show.

"Alright, let's not talk about these things that are in the past. Let's talk about how to attract Aha's attention during the time travel. Do you have any ideas?" Chen Luo asked Aha after gesturing for Huang Quan, the person involved, to sit next to him.

"So you finally asked about this? To be honest, when I saw Huang Quan go back 99 times in a row, I was wondering why you didn't remind Huang Quan that he could ask me for help in the first place," Aha said, stroking his chin.

"At the time, I was in a state of nothingness and felt that everything was meaningless. You know Huang Quan, so this is not my problem. But Aha, why didn't you pop up and remind me of this from the beginning?" Chen Luo quickly defended himself after seeing everyone's attention focused on him.

"Ha, that's a really low-level question. As the God of Pleasure, of course I didn't remind you because I wanted to have some fun. Do you think it's because I didn't want to help?" Aha quickly explained.

After all, one cannot afford to ruin their public image.

If the God of Pleasure doesn't pursue pleasure, what kind of God of Pleasure is he? He might as well go and build walls with that idiot Amber King.

"..."

Ahha would have been fine if he hadn't explained, but once he did, he attracted everyone's attention.

But it also feels like it perfectly fits Aha's style.

“Alright, let’s get back to the topic of time travel. If Huang Quan could use an item imbued with my power to go back in time, it would be much easier to attract my attention,” Aha said.

"No." Chen Luo shook his head.

The ability to rewind cannot bring any items back with you.

Just like a reborn person can only return with their own soul memories.

Memory is the greatest cheat code.

That's usually how it is, but unfortunately the enemy this time is the Void Star God, so this cheat isn't very useful.

"Isn't there some kind of magic weapon to save the world?"

"It means that no abilities can be attached to the props," Chen Luo said, shaking his head.

In reality, the props are just ordinary props, at most having the effect of being difficult to destroy. Only when they are used to rewind and return to the past will they truly reveal their special power.

"Even the nectar of salvation won't work?"

“Using the Dew of Redemption can make clearing the level easier, but you can’t take the item back with you.” Chen Luo continued to shake his head.

"Then tempt me with the nectar of salvation itself?" Ahab continued.

“That is indeed my idea, but the problem is how to do it. Because the Dew of Salvation is not an all-powerful wish-granting machine; it needs a trigger. It can make the Underworld more attractive to your attention, but it cannot directly make you notice the Underworld.”

"Moreover, when Huang Quan brought the Dew of Redemption to the past, it was impossible for Huang Quan to personally hand it over to you, because the Dew of Redemption is inseparable from Huang Quan. All Huang Quan can do is use the Dew of Redemption to help you achieve some purpose," Chen Luo said.

It's like a raw gemstone; only Chen Luo can use it, and no one else can use it even if they get it.

The Dew of Redemption can only be used for salvation during regression, but it can influence destiny to some extent during salvation.

If Huang Quan wanted to kill someone, the Dew of Redemption couldn't directly help Huang Quan curse the other person to death. However, if doing so would help save the world, the Dew of Redemption could influence fate to some extent, creating a coincidence similar to "Final Destination" to kill the other person.

So, it's perfectly fine to bribe Aha with the Dew of Redemption, but a medium is needed.

"In other words... you need me to come up with something fun to make Huang Quan more attractive to me, so that I can discover Huang Quan's unique features, and then use those features to achieve my goals before making an equivalent exchange, whereby I will achieve Huang Quan's goals?" Aha roughly understood what Chen Luo meant.

"That's right." Chen Luo nodded.

Eight drops of the nectar of salvation is already a very high price.

The reason why Huang Quan failed to use the eight drops of Redemption Dew was because she only thought about relying on her own power to fight against the Void Star God.

But only the Star God can defeat the Star God.

Since summoning Aha can indeed save Izumo, it is not against the principle that the Dew of Redemption can only be used to save the world if Yomi fulfills Aha's wish in exchange for Aha's help.

The use of the Dew of Redemption in regression is both flexible and rigid.

Then... what is it that the Underworld can do with the nectar of redemption that Aha would absolutely not be able to refuse?

“I’ve got a great idea. An idea that will definitely attract me.” Aha came up with the plan in less than a second.

Indeed, the one who understands Aha best is Aha himself.

"what idea?"

“A brilliant idea! And it only requires three drops of the Dew of Redemption at most!” Aha’s smile grew even more delightful.

"Tell me about it," Chen Luo said, somewhat surprised.

Is it really that cheap and good?

“First, use a drop of the nectar of redemption to attract me to the fun that the underworld is putting on.” Aha held up one finger.

"As for what kind of fun you need... if you need it, I can give you a plan. That's not a problem." Aha looked at Huang Quan.

Aha felt that Huang Quan didn't seem like the kind of person who could come up with anything interesting or funny, so perhaps he would still need Aha's help.

“Secondly, after the Yellow Springs have captured my attention, I will use a drop of the Dew of Redemption to demonstrate my specialness.” Aha raised his second finger.

This made Chen Luo wonder how Aha planned to deal with his past self, because a drop of redemptive nectar could only do so much.

A single drop of redemptive nectar in reality can revive a world bubble and bring a planet back from extinction.

However, the redemptive nectar of reverting to a previous state will be much less effective.

Because traveling to the past is free, right?

"Finally... Huang Quan told me from the past that we could use all the remaining Dew of Redemption to create an unexpected event that will happen in the future, an unexpected event where... a visitor from another world comes to this world. A visitor from another world who can bring me endless fun!"

"Remember, don't try to influence the Star God's mind with the last drop of the Dew of Redemption. The Star God isn't so easily fooled. You need to use the last drop of the Dew of Redemption to present the scene of Walter and Void Treasury coming to this world, and Chen Luo coming to this world. Only then will Aha believe it without a doubt, because... it's not a lie at all!" Aha gave Huang Quan an exaggerated smile.

"An opportunity that could bring me endless fun in the future—my past self would never have given it up! It's just about scooping up a planet and placing it somewhere else—my past self would never have refused such a worthwhile deal!"

Everyone stared at Aha, dumbfounded.

Aha seems to have no intention of bringing any benefit to his past self; on the contrary, he... deceived his past self, or rather, painted a pie in the sky for his past self.

Even if Aha doesn't help Huang Quan, Walter and Chen Luo will still come to this world!

"Aren't you just fooling yourself?" Raiden Mei murmured.

"Yes, wouldn't that be even more fun? The former God of Pleasure being deceived by a copy of the current God of Pleasure—what a delightful spectacle! Hahahaha!"

"But... what if we can't fool them? What if Aha finds out and Chen Luo and the others come even if we don't save Chuyun?" Huang Quan was a little worried.

"Then there's even less to worry about, isn't there? Because... if the old me had noticed and paid attention, He would have found it quite amusing that someone, a mortal, dared to deceive the Star God! Even for the little bit of amusement you bring Him, He wouldn't hesitate to help. So just go ahead and deceive Him, and whether you succeed or not, your homeland will be saved. Hahahaha!" Aha laughed even more heartily.

Everyone looked at each other.

Goodness, no wonder she's called the God of Joy, she's so fitting for the character!

His thought process is indeed different from ordinary people.

"You're hiding something, aren't you?" Chen Luo suddenly asked.

“Yes.” Aha admitted it too readily.

"Ugh?"

"Because I felt it wasn't fun enough," Chen Luo explained his guess.

Honestly, if your thought process is almost like Aha's, you're not normal.

"But so what? I'm sure the past Izumo will be saved, the past me will definitely take action, and Yomi will be safe and sound. Isn't that enough? Even if a small accident occurs that doesn't affect the overall situation, isn't it... insignificant?" Aha's smile gradually turned sinister.

“Besides, if you’re not satisfied with this save file, you can just not use it, right? You can always do it again. Anyway, Chen Luo, you should be willing to use the Yellow Spring Flower to redeem the sweet dew, right?” Aha said.

"Then... let's give it a try." Chen Luo said noncommittally.

It's just 3 drops of nectar of salvation. If you're not satisfied with this save file, you can just discard it.

However, Ah is indeed a double-edged sword.

When this guy pursues pleasure, there is indeed a kind of reckless beauty to it.

They weren't afraid of getting beaten up by Chen Luo.

Chen Luo wasn't worried about what would happen tomorrow, because he would know the impact of Aha's plan once he deactivated his reconnaissance abilities.

Even without disabling his reconnaissance capabilities, Chen Luo could still see the consequences by observing the archives.

Chen Luo wanted to see what Aha was up to!

Chapter 2223 Xiao Shi: Try joking about telecom fraud again?!

"Chen Luo, Chen Luo, wake up!"

"It's already eight o'clock, get up now!"

"I can't wait to get going!"

"Charge! Charge! Charge!"

"Super Headbutt!"

"The offering of love!"

While Chen Luo was still asleep, he vaguely felt someone jumping around on him.

That's right, it wasn't moving around randomly, it was jumping and bouncing around.

Chen Luo opened his eyes with some pain and saw Xiao Shi, who was excitedly standing on his stomach and looking down at him.

Upon seeing Chen Luo open his eyes, he immediately sat cross-legged on Chen Luo's stomach, pinched Chen Luo's face, and called for Chen Luo to get up.

"Cough cough!"

Although there was no need to worry about injury because it was in the bar's attic, the impact Xiaoshi brought so early in the morning was just too great.

"Get out of here and calm down!" Chen Luo manipulated the silk threads, grabbed Xiao Shi by the collar, and threw him out.

Because it's forbidden to hurt each other in a bar, Chen Luo showed no mercy whatsoever.

The door to the attic on the third floor was opened, and Xiao Shi was thrown out from the third floor.

It lay on the floor of the second floor of the bar, shaped like a large "X".

"Phew..." Chen Luo, who quickly closed the bar door, felt that the worst thing he did last night was to let Xiao Shi into the house.

The nickname "Silly Husky" shouldn't be applied to a clone of Ah Ha; it should be applied to Xiao Shi, which would be more fitting.

However, Chen Luo understood why Xiao Shi was so excited, because he had finally succeeded in clearing that damned instance and had successfully learned how to truly turn the tide.

The dungeon, which should have taken only three days to complete, ended up taking several days to finish due to the game time limit for minors.

Xiao Shi has been holding back for ages!

However, Chen Luo was already exhausted.

Although there seemed to be fewer various commissions yesterday, Chen Luoji completed the single mission of saving the world forty or fifty times, which almost exhausted him.

The only saving grace was that Chen Luo, in his state of nothingness, didn't feel tired while not wanting to do anything.

So although there was some physical fatigue, the senses were that a whole day had passed in the blink of an eye.

"Sigh!" Chen Luo sighed, then sat up from the bed.
