Their commission was suspicious.

"Don't touch my head, it'll make you stupid." Silver Wolf slapped Chen Luo's hand away.

"..."

You know what, it really does make you dumber.

Or rather... become naive.

"So, is there any?" Silver Wolf asked.

“Yes. S-rank talent—Fate Observation.” Chen Luo said, pulling out a screen and placing it in front of Silver Wolf.

"Let me see... Oh, it looks pretty amazing. It can see the lines of fate on everyone's head and then predict what will happen to them in the future based on those lines." Silver Wolf nodded with considerable satisfaction when he saw this ability related to fate.

“Of course it’s powerful, this is the destiny ability I use,” Chen Luo said.

It is actually Aponia's ability to observe fate.

In Chen Luo's talent, it is called the Thread of Destiny.

"You're willing to sell this?" Silver Wolf asked, somewhat surprised.

"Come on, isn't this the only reason you came here? Because of this ability?" Chen Luo rolled his eyes at Silver Wolf.

"Hehe... I knew I couldn't fool you. Elio was full of praise for the ability you used to swap my fate with Brownie's last time, so he sent me to ask you if you'd sell that ability?" Silver Wolf said with a smile.

"Why are you doing brokerage business?"

"Well, it's because I was caught by Elio for leaking the script, so he sent me here to do the hard labor." Silver Wolf shrugged helplessly.

This incident dates back to a time when Silver Wolf specifically sought out a Masked Fool who was playing video games. He offered a large sum of money in exchange for ensuring that Firefly's three deaths would be handled in the safest way possible, and also showed the other party his own script.

Silver Wolf didn't really think he could hide this from Eriol, but he also felt that Eriol probably wouldn't care.

Elio doesn't really care, but he can bring this up when he needs Silver Wolf to run errands.

"You're really in a bad situation. You arranged three deaths for your best friend that were as safe as possible... and then your best friend went to an awards ceremony with someone else and left you here."

"You'll get used to it. After all, best friends are meant to be used," Silver Wolf said nonchalantly.

"So how much does this ability cost? 10 Paradise Gold Coins?" Silver Wolf asked tentatively.

"Wait for me for 10 seconds..."

"Why would I wait 10 seconds?" Silver Wolf tilted his head in confusion.

"Alright, I've earned 10 Paradise Coins," Chen Luo suddenly said.

"Huh? This... so fast?" Silver Wolf was genuinely surprised this time.

100 Paradise Coins are equivalent to 10 billion Credits, which is worth one Kafka.

"Silly child, have you forgotten that I have the power of the River God? For every Paradise Adventurer who kills a monster and gets a Paradise Coin, I can get four. And I have billions of Paradise Adventurers. Although most of them are now fulfilling their wishes, there are still quite a few who go out to farm gold after becoming Wish Walkers and having nothing else to do."

Chen Luo wasn't always able to earn money this quickly, but didn't he just acquire an antimatter army worth hundreds of millions?

"Wouldn't that mean the electricity meter is running backwards? To be honest, I'm starting to suspect that your entire fortune is enough to buy the entire Interstellar Peace Corporation, or even the whole world," Silver Wolf retorted.

The River God's power can be used to make money, and it's a business with no initial investment.

If they combine it with express delivery services, they can make a fortune.

"Silly child, I could buy the whole world without using my entire fortune."

"...Tell me, how much does this ability cost? Name your price and make Elio give up," Silver Wolf said.

"These are items from the Merit Shop, and I'm just handling consignment. The current price is... 5000 Merit Points," Chen Luo said after glancing at the price.

"5000 merit points? Why don't you just rob me?" Silver Wolf was startled.

"What nonsense are you talking about? This is much faster than robbing money. Actually, the normal price of an S-rank talent is about three thousand merit points, but because this is a destiny-related ability, the price is even higher. Besides, I don't make any money from it; this money is transferred directly to Aponia," Chen Luo said.

Once all the talents possessed by the bar patrons are sold, the merits indeed belong to the bar patrons. This is a rule established by Chen Luo.

However, this does not mean that Chen Luo does not intend to make money. Chen Luo has a talent that can randomly change all of his talents.

Although Chen Luo only used it to randomly change SS-level and below talents, it also made the number of purchasable talents in the Merit Shop increase.

Moreover, after so many adventurers in the Paradise underwent fusion surgery, quite a few individuals with S-rank talents emerged.

Among billions of people, there are bound to be some who are lucky, aren't there?

"Are there any new ways to obtain merit points now?" Silver Wolf asked.

Silver Wolf remembered that in the past, the merit points in the merit shop could only be obtained by helping Chen Luo earn primal stones.

A while ago, there was another event where you could get 100 merit points just by leaving an impression of Chen Luo.

That's all...

“Yes, helping an adventurer in the park become a Wish Walker will earn you 10 merit points. Although this is an internal park quest, you can still take it if you want,” Chen Luo said.

As for meritorious missions in the Dimensional Sea, such as finding safe spots, establishing delivery stations, and carrying out mundane tasks, Star Core Hunter probably won't be able to use them anymore, so Chen Luo didn't mention it.

"10 merit points? That's so few? At this price, wouldn't you need to help 500 adventurers in the park become Wish Walkers to obtain this ability?"

“Quite a few. In this world, adventurers are more likely to become wish fulfillers. Besides, 1000 merit points can be exchanged for a wisp of world source, which is a universal commodity,” Chen Luo said.

However, to prevent Chen Luo from going bankrupt, the park only offers 100 strands of World Origin for exchange each month, on a first-come, first-served basis.

“That’s true, but who can afford it?” Silver Wolf complained.

"There are affordable options available, and you even know some of them."

"Who?"

"Star. See that baseball bat in her hand? It's worth 1 merit points."

"Huh? Are you sure?"

"Of course, because her baseball bat was enhanced with 10 strands of World Source!"

"So she uses that baseball bat to bang on trash cans every day? How many trash cans would she have to bang on to earn the price of a baseball bat?"

"Don't ask me about that. It's Xing's own hobby, it has nothing to do with me."

"Hiss..." Silver Wolf gasped.

"Of course, if you really don't have the money, you can negotiate with Aponia. If both sides agree, I will only charge 10 merit points as a processing fee."

“That’s a good idea… but I don’t know Aponia well.”

"It's okay if you're not familiar with each other, I can provide you with a method."

"What method?"

"This method is worth 10 merit points; it's up to you whether you buy it or not."

"...You're so greedy! Can't you just give it to me for free?"

[Ding! You have a new request!]

"Okay. Come here, I'll tell you quietly, but don't tell anyone." Chen Luo squatted down next to Silver Wolf and whispered something to him.

What do merits matter? What matters is the raw gem.

If Elio really comes to buy this ability, Chen Luo, as the processor, will be guaranteed to make a profit from the raw stones.

Chen Luo also wanted to sell his abilities directly to the other party through a commission, but it wouldn't be good for Chen Luo to personally intervene and disrupt the market. It would be fine if both parties agreed to the terms.

"So that's how it was solved?" Silver Wolf couldn't help but widen his eyes.

[Ding! Mission complete!]

“I’ve already told you the method. Although… I feel that even with this new destiny ability, your boss will still lose hair while writing scripts,” Chen Luo said.

"Hmm...I can imagine how frantic Elio must be right now." Silver Wolf couldn't help but nod.

If he hadn't gone crazy, Elio wouldn't have bothered sending Silver Wolf on a special trip to find out if there were any more useful Fate talents.

Even so, it's just a drop in the ocean.

Because the entire planet has gained a group of meddlesome adventurers from Paradise.

Let alone Elio, even Chen Luo couldn't predict when something might suddenly happen.

However, this is both a challenge and an opportunity.

The emergence of the power of wishes may cause setbacks for the script that Eriol is writing, but it may also make it easier for Eriol to achieve his goal.

With enough power of desire, even a star god can be killed.

Even a star god can be resurrected!

The premise is that this is reasonable.

Theoretically speaking, every Star God is an important character in the Star God World, and it is inappropriate to kill every Star God, except... the Destroyer Star God.

For those who know their destiny, obtaining the power of their wishes is incredibly simple.

Just as Chen Luo prefers to fulfill his wishes within the world rather than outside of it, isn't it because there are too many uncertainties outside the world, while Chen Luo already knows his fate within the world?

"Let's give Elio some good luck, I believe in him," Chen Luo said.

Knowing his destiny and with the power of his wishes, Chen Luo felt that Elio's future achievements in the power of wishes should be second only to his own!

Who knows... I might even become a wish-granting messenger.

"Alright. To persuade Aponia, we need to persuade Alicia first, and to persuade Alicia, we can start with Eden... How do we bribe her? We can't just hold more concerts, can we?" Silver Wolf muttered to himself as he walked out of the bar.

This is the method Chen Luo provided.

Chen Luo always felt that Alicia didn't seem to have had enough fun at Pinocchio, especially the preliminary rounds of the Sullivan event.

I wonder if the Star Core Hunters are very rich?

They must be... quite wealthy, right?

Anyway, whenever the Star Core Hunters run out of money, they can just pick one Star Core Hunter and sell it to the company for bounty money, and then let the remaining Star Core Hunters take charge of the execution grounds.

With the Star Core Hunters being so formidable, and Eriol possessing the script and orchestrating the execution ground relocation, failure was impossible.

Even the cheapest Silver Wolf can easily earn 50 billion credits with a single heist.

Also, can Elio's abilities be used to speculate on stocks?

Buying lottery tickets?

Oh, that might not work.

Let alone Elio, even Chen Luo couldn't use his abilities to win the lottery.

It's time to hit the road.

"...What's coming will come eventually. Oh well, let's go." Chen Luo sighed.

Haven't you gotten used to it after all this time?

"How can I get used to this? Although I know that the death of beings from the previous civilization is also the beginning of their new life, and they can even cross the social hierarchy through it, but..." Although Chen Luo's emotions were still complicated, he still pushed open the bar door and left the bar.

Although the final result cannot be changed, altering the process shouldn't be a problem, right?

Forget it, I'm still a child, why should I think so much?!

Hesitation leads to defeat, while decisiveness leads to failure!

"jingle!"

After Chen Luo left the bar, the bar's wind chimes rang again.

"Hmm, is this the Midnight Bar? It seems deserted." A woman with long pink hair wearing a wide-brimmed hat walked into the bar and looked around at its decor.

"Nobody here? That's normal. After all, the bar owner doesn't spend all his time in the bar, Emerald." Sand Gold's voice came through the woman's communicator.

“I had hoped to have a chat with this gentleman who became a god in Pinocchio before the formal meeting started, but I didn’t expect it to be so difficult to even meet him,” Emerald sighed.

"Let's chat? Chat about what? Ask him if he has anything he wants to mortgage, and if you can grant him any wish?" Sand Gold's words contained a hint of a smile.

"Having avenged your great grudge, you're feeling too relaxed, aren't you?" Emerald's voice was devoid of emotion.

“What? What grudge do I have against you?” Sand Gold denied.

"Shall I remind you? For example... I heard that Oswaldo from the market development department is being chased by a cowboy, and the way he's being chased... doesn't seem very elegant."

“You can’t say that, Emerald. Isn’t the Market Development Department our Strategic Investment Department’s rival? It’s not just me who’s at odds. I’m in a good mood just now because I won a revenge right from a cowboy who came back to rest.” Sand Gold once again denied Emerald’s words.

"..." It was clear that Sand Gold was in a very good mood.

One can easily imagine what kind of retaliation the gold dust won would be.
