Their commission was suspicious.

“However, theoretically speaking, this method is more difficult than faction war, because there is more than one abyss passage, and it is impossible for not a single person to solve any problem within three days. Unless... the door is blocked.” Xiao Shi looked at Chen Luo.

Theoretically speaking, it's not possible, but that's only in theory.

"The reason the World Consciousness didn't make this suggestion is because Chen Luo isn't in a hurry and can definitely wait... Xiao Jiu, are you in a hurry?" Xiao Shi looked at Xiao Jiu.

“Me? I’m anxious! Chen Luo isn’t anxious because even if the Abyss Passage hadn’t been integrated into the spiritual energy plane, he would still be a supreme expert. But I’m different. The stronger the spiritual energy plane, the fewer obstacles I’ll encounter when I break through,” Xiao Jiu said.

"I know you're in a hurry, but don't rush... How about this, I'll talk to the adventurers from Paradise and the people from the Abyss Plane," Chen Luo reassured him.

"Discuss? What's there to discuss? If it were me, I'd just put a knife to the necks of those last four true gods."

"Don't get so agitated. Leave this to me. You should focus on getting your talent up to SSS level first," Chen Luo said, pulling Xiao Jiu by the collar as they walked behind the opened bar door leading to the Dimensional Sea.

Chen Luo is now just short of throwing Xiao Jiu into the dimensional sea.

"Okay." Xiao Jiu nodded.

Xiao Jiu trusted Chen Luo's abilities.

"Then... I wish you the opportunity to break through to SSS level in the Dimensional Sea within three days," Chen Luo said.

With one foot already out of the bar and the other in the dimensional sea, the numbers above Xiao Jiu's head began to scroll rapidly, eventually settling on [999].

"Wow, your talent is amazing. It cost me 999 primal stones to break through, and that was just giving you a chance, not letting you break through directly," Chen Luo said in surprise.

Especially considering that Xiao Jiu has been stuck at the peak of SS-level for over a thousand years.

"Of course!"

"You're getting all proud of yourself? Do you know how many lollipops I'd have to steal to recover from 999 raw stones?!" Chen Luo said, pinching Xiao Jiu's little face with both hands.

"Let go! I'm still a child!"

"If it weren't for the fact that you're still a child... um, wait, if that's the case, the time curse on you seems to have disappeared, so why do you still look like a child?" Chen Luo suddenly realized this question.

"Of course, it's to protect myself. What if you have bad intentions towards me when I become an adult?" Xiao Jiu said, covering her chest with both hands.

Xiao Jiu's adult form is indeed very beautiful, and she also possesses a kind of aloof and majestic aura that makes it difficult to feel any sense of desecration.

That was truly majestic, the complete opposite of the majestic Remilia.

But then again, it's precisely this kind of aura that's truly captivating when it's profaned.

"..."

Yes, yes, that's right. Teenagers in their adolescence are really hard to understand; sometimes they even fantasize that their system is a beautiful girl.

Shut up!

Chen Luo suspects that the humanization plugin is acting in a dual way, reflecting his true nature!

"I think you're afraid that you'll be out of place in a bar as an adult, right?" Xiao Shi teased from the side.

“I do have that concern…” Xiao Jiu actually nodded.

"This is how it works when you travel along the Time Avenue: the three forms of present, past, and future must each perform their respective duties. For example, I'm responsible for dealing with lolicon."

“…What are you dealing with? Say it again!” Chen Luo grabbed Xiao Jiu’s ear.

"Okay, okay, so adults are in charge of fighting, teenagers are in charge of management, and children are in charge of communication, alright? Ouch, ouch, ouch, let go."

"That's more like it." Chen Luo released Xiao Jiu's ear.

Although it's impossible to feel pain in a bar.

"Anyway, keep going and strive to become the strongest." Chen Luo patted Xiao Jiu on the shoulder.

"I already told you, with you here, the power won't be any stronger. I'm really unlucky. I heard that some of the Transcendent Ones have already grasped the power of time. If I want to transcend, I might have to find another way." Xiao Jiu sighed.

"This..." Chen Luo really had no way to comfort him now.

Wanting to become a transcendent being is a good thing, but if you're unlucky, there's nothing you can do.

"Alright, I should go now. Hopefully, I'll find the right opportunity for me today." Xiao Jiu jumped out of the bar, then slipped into a bubble, waving to Chen Luo and the others.

"Keep it up! By the way, the commission you gave me this time was only worth 600 Primogems, but I spent 999 Primogems. If you don't bring me more than 500 Primogems in return, you can expect to lose 5 Merit Points." Chen Luo shouted at Xiao Jiu.

Chen Luo really went all out this time.

"Huh?! Do you want me to pay for it?"

"Of course, otherwise I'd have to pay for it myself!"

"alright."

"Chen Luo, do you think Xiao Jiu will be able to find her own opportunity within a day?" Xiao Shi asked, watching Xiao Jiu walk away.

"It's not too difficult, after all, it cost 999 raw stones to specify an exclusive opportunity," Chen Luo said.

If Chen Luo's original blessing of smooth sailing was a random chance, where anything was possible, then this time, as long as Xiao Jiu follows the guidance of fate, she will definitely be able to find a path suitable for her future. However, she will never encounter anything else until she finds her own unique opportunity.

Just like when Chen Luo helped Xiao Shi find an opportunity.

"Finding it is one thing, but how much time it takes to process it after successfully obtaining the opportunity is another."

As they talked, Chen Luo suddenly realized that the dimensional sea might not necessarily be his opportunity, but rather the opportunity of the bar patrons, and Chen Luo was the bar patrons' golden finger.

Oh no, the Heavenly Stems have been reversed!

"So, Chen Luo, are you going to the Abyss Plane now?"

"Hmm, why would I go to the Abyss Plane?"

"Didn't you want to discuss with the people in the Abyss Plane to ask them not to enter the Abyss Passage for the next three days?" Xiao Shi said.

"Oh, this matter... I don't need to get involved personally. Let the Paradise Adventurers negotiate with those True Gods. After all, the Paradise Adventurers' traits are extremely difficult to replicate," Chen Luo said.

If nothing unexpected happens, the Abyss Plane has probably already guessed that the Paradise Adventurers who can keep dying and resurrecting are the same people as the Abyss Passage Natives who suddenly appear in the Abyss Passage.

“Compared to the Abyss Plane, it’s surprising that no one from the Spiritual Qi Plane came to find me today,” Chen Luo said.

"Please, it's only morning. What if we disturb your sleep? It's common knowledge that young people like to stay up late these days, so they'll wait until noon to come," Xiao Shi said.

This isn't something I guessed; it's something I "saw."

The advantage of becoming a plane consciousness is that there are very few things in the entire plane that can be hidden from the plane consciousness.

"Staying up late means being forced to sleep until midnight due to work, life, or study pressures. But playing on your phone or playing games until midnight isn't staying up late; that's called 'happy late nights'," Chen Luo corrected.

"Like last night when you watched the famous scenes of wishes coming true through the Wish God's live stream, right? I have to say, your group of adventurers in the Paradise definitely have your style. I've seen them snatching lollipops from other people more than once in those famous scenes." Xiao Shi shrugged.

"..." Chen Luo's expression became somewhat tense when Xiao Shi mentioned this matter.

However, Chen Luo needs to clarify that he grabbed the lollipop by chance, while the group of people were simply following the trend!

It has no soul at all!

"But you know what, those iconic scenes were actually quite interesting." Xiao Shi said this because she had also stayed up all night.

Accompanying Chen Luo to see all sorts of wishes.

But some wishes do make it hard to hold back laughter.

No wonder Chen Luo was so curious and interested in observing how other people's wishes were fulfilled.

"Alright, alright, let's not talk about this anymore. Let's get back to work. Or do you want to come with me to explore other worlds?" Chen Luo asked.

"Forget it, I'd better go and familiarize myself with my work in the dimensional consciousness. Although the world consciousness sounds nice and tells me I can just be a mascot, since the work of the dimensional consciousness has fallen into my hands, I can't not familiarize myself with it. What if I get tricked?" Xiao Shi waved his hand.

Although Xiao Shi can be quite carefree at times and even occasionally plays the role of a con artist, there is one thing about him that is truly commendable.

That is, Xiaoshi has a very strong awareness of fraud prevention.

Although Xiaoshi may fall for these scams frequently, Xiaoshi has a very strong awareness of fraud prevention!

Yes, that's right. Being aware of fraud prevention and being easily scammed are two different things.

Just like this time, although Xiaoshi was still scammed, she is still trying her best to prevent fraud.

To be honest, if Xiao Shi continues to pursue his own style of life, he might achieve something new before long.

The user-friendly plugin stated this with great certainty.

Achievement is not unique to Chen Luo; many people have achieved something, but their achievements are not outwardly apparent, yet their effects are still significant.

"What achievements?"

[Achievement: Anti-Fraud Life! Effect: You can keenly detect when you encounter a lie that is actually a scam.]

"And then? That's it?"

[That's it. Did you really expect this achievement to have the effect of preventing any scam against Xiao Shi from succeeding? Please, an achievement with the ability to enforce causality is at least a five-star achievement; Xiao Shi's achievement would be lucky to get three stars.]

"..."

Chen Luo felt that the "humanized plugin" had been insulting him all along, and it had never stopped.

Now Chen Luo feels that his decision to have Xiao Shi take a job as a conman seems to have had only so-so effect on raising Xiao Shi's awareness of being wary of telecom fraud.

[That's just how the character is designed, there's nothing you can do about it. That's why the great Herrscher of Knowledge appears so frequently in the event storyline. Even if some things are outrageous, as long as it's said that Herrscher of Knowledge did it, no one will question the plot's plausibility. Just like in Genshin Impact, why do you think Ichidou has such a high appearance rate? Isn't it because whatever he does seems reasonable?]

"……Reasonable."

Poor Xiao Shi, he was scammed once by a telecom fraudster, and now he'll be talked about about it for the rest of his life.

"Oh, by the way, do you need me to send away the people from the spiritual energy plane who are coming to see you at noon?" Xiao Shi asked before leaving the bar.

"What do they want from me?" Chen Luo asked.

"Can't you see for yourself? Never mind... They came to you to discuss the establishment of diplomatic relations and compensation between the Spiritual Realm and the Abyss Realm," Xiao Shi complained softly before speaking.

“Wait… I can understand establishing diplomatic relations. After all, I just wiped out more than 70% of the high-level combat power in the entire Abyss Plane. If I establish diplomatic relations based on the fear the Abyss Plane has of me now, I can gain the upper hand in terms of momentum.”

A great power should be magnanimous in its diplomacy... but then again, a weak nation has no diplomacy.

The contract we signed before? It's just a piece of waste paper. Besides, Chen Luo is truly a rising star in the spiritual energy plane, just a bit too powerful.

Now that Chen Luo has gained such a significant advantage, the spiritual energy plane naturally has to catch up quickly.

"But what do you mean by compensation? Are you asking me to compensate the Abyss Plane?" Chen Luo asked.

"How could that be? The higher-ups in the Spiritual Realm aren't stupid. This compensation refers to the Abyss Realm's compensation to you. Because the Abyss Council of the Abyss Realm issued an Abyss Kill Order against you, causing you immense psychological damage..."

"At the same time, due to the intense stimulation, you overreacted and went on a killing spree in the Abyss Plane. The endless killing caused you great psychological trauma, so the Abyss Plane should compensate you for your mental distress, spiritual power usage fees, infrastructure costs, and all other expenses... That's roughly it." Because there were too many technical terms, and Xiao Shi had only glanced at it casually, it was difficult for him to read out the complete compensation.

The original presentation slides listed various expenses following the "compensation for emotional distress," and the total amount of these expenses was longer than Xiao Shi's life!

As for making Chen Luo compensate the Abyss Plane, that's impossible. Unless those high-ranking officials have been obsessed with female-oriented novels, no one would dare to speak loudly to Chen Luo.

If Chen Luo had only revealed the identity of the River God, many people would indeed flock to Chen Luo's house. After all, the River God's strength lies in the fact that he is the first person to be granted godhood, with unlimited potential for the future, while his current strength is unknown.

Things are different now.

You want to test me? Sure, try and you'll die.

"Well... that's not necessary, is it? That would be too unethical. But it's still necessary to meet. I'll try to make time and come back around noon. If I can't come back, just pretend I didn't say anything and have them come tomorrow. Also, have them take some Healing Cocoons back with them when they leave, as a local specialty," Chen Luo said.

Although Chen Luo's strength is far behind the current highest combat power in the real world of the spiritual energy plane, Chen Luo doesn't like to bully others, and it's never good to come here for nothing.

"Okay, sure." Xiao Shi nodded.

……

"Friend, please wait a moment... May I ask what your wish is?" Chen Luo had just arrived at Pinocone to inspect the work when he was stopped by a tourist next to him.

"Hmm?" Chen Luo looked down at the wish mirror that the other person had placed in their shirt pocket.

"Ahem, perhaps you're new to Pinocchio and don't know much about it yet. We Pinocchio people are very welcoming. Since you haven't had breakfast yet, would you like me to buy you some?" the other person asked.

Although there is no such thing as morning during the golden hour, since the time is fixed at midnight, the system can display the current time, and... the key is that where there is demand, there is desire!

After a day of getting acquainted, those who possessed the Wishing Mirror generally understood one thing: if you have a wish, you can make it come true; if you don't have a wish, you can create one and make it come true.

“…Thank you for your trouble.” Chen Luo nodded and handed over a Paradise Gold Coin.

"..." When the other party saw Chen Luo take out Paradise Gold Coins, they realized that they seemed to have misunderstood something.

The only ones who can use Paradise Gold Coins as regular currency are the Paradise Adventurers who belong to the Wish Star God.

The other party was clearly not new to Pinocchio, or completely unaware of the situation there.

Moreover, a single Paradise Coin is worth far more than a breakfast.

"Please wait a moment, breakfast will be here soon. By the way, what would you like to eat?"

"Then...an oak roll cake it is."

"Okay." After hesitating for a moment, the tourist took the amusement park coins from Chen Luo and ran towards a shop in the Golden Moment.
