Their commission was suspicious.

What is a riddle?

"That sounds amazing!"

"Of course... but this list doesn't have much autonomy, so it can't check many things outside the scope of the rules. Anyway, remember to refresh this list often, and you might find an item like the [Friendship Fee] that's perfect for you," the puppeteer reminded him.

"I understand. But... how do I get this [Friendship Fee]?" Chen Luo asked, somewhat troubled.

"Didn't you already have some guesses yourself?" the puppeteer retorted.

“…Okay, asking questions you already know the answer to might indeed be a bad habit.” Chen Luo nodded.

But wasn't Chen Luo asking this precisely to get a more definitive answer from the puppeteer? Now it seems Chen Luo was right.

Since this friend fee can appear on the list of items that Chen Luo can obtain, it means that Chen Luo has a chance to obtain it.

In addition to the experience Chen Luo summarized... it's almost certain that this thing is either a semi-finished product or a mutated version of a world-class item.

Chen Luo had already learned from experience that things like the Divine Mirror and the Hand of Destiny, which sound high-end and seem mysterious and impressive, are usually legitimate world-class items, while random items generally have very arbitrary names.

Things like "Friendship Revolver" and "Friends".

When Chen Luo thought of "friends," he suddenly felt a strange feeling. Could this "friend fee" be a component of a set of "friendship" items?

Yes, this item is destined for me!

"But then again... it's impossible for me to just randomly draw this item, right? There has to be a more reliable method... maybe I should ask the Dimensional Sea." Chen Luo had an idea in mind.

[Raw Stone - 200]

But the sudden sound in his ear and the sudden appearance of a piece of white paper in front of him instantly disrupted Chen Luo's rhythm.

This familiar and mandatory deduction looked very familiar to Chen Luo, and the way the paper appeared made Chen Luo subconsciously feel a pang of heartache.

Isn't this the familiar heartache I always feel when I'm spending time in the Dimensional Ocean to obtain Primal Stones? Why is it happening in the world as well?

Because Chen Luo was performing blessings in the Dimensional Sea, which could potentially deduct the Primal Stone at any time, he dared not speak recklessly in the Dimensional Sea.

Does this mean we won't be able to speak freely anywhere in the world anymore?

Or……

"Is it because of this ranking? It can search the database of the Dimensional Sea, so it allows my words to reach the ears of the heavens, achieving something that can only be done in the Dimensional Sea?" Chen Luo muttered to himself.

"You're muttering so loudly... If you want to ask me, just ask me directly. If nothing unexpected happens, it should be. By the way, let me correct one of your assumptions—the world is also part of the Dimensional Sea. Why do you think that you can't make a wish to the consciousness of the Dimensional Sea directly while you're in the world?" the puppeteer said.

"Oh, I see... Hey, teacher, where did you get this drink?" Chen Luo suddenly noticed that the puppeteer had a glass of wine in his hand.

Moreover, this drink seemed to have a familiar taste to Chen Luo.

"I just snatched this from a little girl. But it doesn't look very good, so it's yours. Oh, no... that little girl is here. I'll leave the rest to you. I'm going to watch the Transcendent Ones fight." The puppeteer patted Chen Luo's head, shoved the wine into Chen Luo's hand, and disappeared.

Chen Luo turned his head toward the spot the puppeteer had just pointed to and saw Huang Quan walking toward him with his hand on the hilt of his sword.

Chen Luo held a piece of paper in one hand and a glass of wine in the other, staring blankly at Huang Quan.

"Huh? It's darling~~ Hug me!" When Huang Quan realized that it was Chen Luo holding his wine, he took his hand off the hilt of his knife and ran over.

Huang Quan ran towards Chen Luo with his arms outstretched, but Chen Luo dodged him in a flash.

"It's you? Wangchuan." Although Chen Luo was holding things in both hands, his evasion skills were maxed out.

"My dear, you're so shy. Let me hug you." Then Huang Quan wrapped his arms around Chen Luo's waist.

This time, Chen Luo didn't dodge, or rather, he was too lazy to dodge.

Because the current state of Wangchuan seems very strange.

"...Ahem, sorry, Wangchuan might have gotten a little too excited." When Huang Quan took the initiative to put his arm around Chen Luo's waist and held Chen Luo in front of him, gazing deeply into his eyes, his eyes flickered for a moment, and then the other person's face instantly turned red.

The real underworld has arrived.

Huang Quan naturally released his grip on Chen Luo's waist.

"How did Wangchuan lose its original form?" Chen Luo asked patiently.

However, since neither the Yellow Springs nor the River of Oblivion showed any overly urgent desires, Chen Luo was not in a hurry.

Although Chen Luo used a cognitive impairment technique on himself, the puppeteer seemed to have conveniently resolved that cognitive impairment when handing the glass of wine to Chen Luo.

Of course, considering that Huang Quan might act somewhat violently after his wine was stolen, even if the puppeteer doesn't resolve the cognitive impairment, Chen Luo himself will have to.

"I don't know." Huang Quan shook his head.

"Really, how could the main body just give up such a hard-won victory? This was such a great opportunity... Darling, how about we dance at this banquet? I'm very good at it." But soon, Huang Quan's tone changed again.

[Ding! You have a new request!]

Chen Luo remained silent for a while.

Wangchuan said he wanted to invite me to dance, but that's not what was written in the request at all.

"Let's get down to business. Where is your power of pleasure?" Chen Luo put the wine aside and pinched Huang Quan's cheek.

For Wangchuan, the power of the Joyful Commander is actually just a temporary body she resides in, while Wangchuan's true form is merely a wisp of color that has grown and expanded.

"I gave it away," Wangchuan said casually.

"Ok?"

"I gave it away, what's so strange about that? Anyway, that thing wasn't suitable for my original body, and this wisp of my color should return to my original body, so I gave away what I didn't want. Hmm, it's not mine anyway," Wangchuan said.

"Is it going to merge already?" Chen Luo asked after pausing for a moment.

"What? You can't bear to part with it? Hmm... Should I just completely merge with it right now and make you regret it?" Wangchuan muttered to himself, stroking his chin.

"..." Chen Luo finally understood what the puppeteer felt when he said, "Your muttering is too loud."

"Why doesn't your expression change at all? Darling, you're so heartless! You didn't even try to stop me from completely merging with my original body?" Wangchuan said sadly.

"...Don't worry, it won't happen. Although the color itself will disappear, the memory will remain. Memory is the essence of a soul."

"So darling, aren't you really going to try to keep me? I'm really heartbroken. Do you want me to cry right now?"

"Want to disappear? Dream on. Huang Quan doesn't manage Izumo. When Izumo has important matters to attend to, she will naturally separate your memories and temporarily summon you to handle official business." Chen Luo rolled his eyes at Wangchuan.

The River of Oblivion is such a peculiar existence; it is a wisp of color, the obsession of the Yellow Springs who walks the path of nothingness yet refuses to compromise with nothingness and become a self-destructive being, and also a memory...

Huang Quan can merge with the underworld at any time, so he can also summon her to do work at any time.

“…Or maybe I should just completely merge with it.” Upon hearing Chen Luo’s words, “Huang Quan”’s face froze completely.

"Speaking of which, Wangchuan, you're so cute, I'd actually like to see what you look like when you cry."

"My dear, you want to see? Of course, no problem! Whatever you want, I can even pluck the stars from the sky for you!" Wangchuan said as he took out the Wish Mirror of the Underworld and conjured something.

One... no, half a lemon.

Then Wangchuan used Huangquan's hand to place the lemon in front of the eye that wasn't covered by Huangquan's bangs, and was about to squeeze it hard.

Stimulating your eyes with lemon to make you cry... What a brilliant idea!

"..." But unfortunately, the hand that Wangchuan was controlling was eventually grabbed by Huangquan's other hand.

"Phew... Alo, excuse me for a moment." Huang Quan, having successfully regained control of his body, exhaled and said.

Or rather, Wangchuan has no control over her body at all; she can only come out when Huangquan tells her to.

But Huang Quan's clenched fists indicate that he is not at peace.

Indeed, the return of the Wangchuan (Forgetful River) theme has raised both the upper and lower limits of Huangquan's emotional fluctuation index.

Although this is probably not a good thing for me, Wangchuan, right now.

"Hey, hey, what are you doing, Main Body? Are you confused? If we cry, won't Chen Luo comfort us? Because he comforts us, won't we be able to ask for a reward? I'm doing this for you, Main Body..." Wangchuan quickly said, after sliding to his knees in Huangquan's sea of ​​consciousness to defend himself.

Chen Luo's listening ability also allowed him to hear these words, but it's hard to say whether Huang Quan knew that Chen Luo had heard them.

“Alo, I need a secluded place,” Huang Quan said.

[Ding! You have a new request!]

"Snap!" Chen Luo snapped his fingers.

A portal of light opened up next to it.

This is one of the several dueling arenas that Chen Luo spent a lot of money to open up for the bar with raw stones. Its only purpose is to resolve disputes. Although the bar is now full of the Gulu Lu Black Tower dolls, the dueling arena is not yet open.

"Thank you for your trouble, I'll be right back." Huang Quan, without suspicion, stepped into the portal of light. As he entered, under the influence of the power of wishes, a figure remarkably similar to Huang Quan, but slightly younger, also appeared beside him.

The other person stretched out their hand towards the light gate with a look of despair, their eyes fixed on Chen Luo, but Huang Quan grabbed their collar and dragged them into the dueling arena.

"mua!"

Chen Luo blew a kiss to Wangchuan.

"Who wants your flying kiss? Help me! Ugh!"

As the portal closed, the scene became quiet.

Although they were in the huge banquet hall of the airship, the commotion here never attracted anyone's attention.

The departure of Wangchuan and Huangquan gave Chen Luo time to focus his attention on the piece of paper he had just acquired.

"I see……"

From the information on this paper, Chen Luo learned that the random reward was actually a semi-finished world-class item, which also had star ratings.

Even in the Land of Exile, there are not only unfinished world-class items, but also some very special man-made weapons. For various reasons, after meeting the "exile criteria", they came to the Land of Exile due to various accidents. This is both accidental and inevitable.

The Xuanyuan Sword in Chen Luo's hand is actually a man-made prop.

Perhaps because it met the definition of a world-class unfinished item, it was drawn to the Land of Exile after becoming unclaimed...

It's also possible that someone deliberately threw it in.

Of course, it's also possible that after Chen Luo used the random reward, the consciousness of the Dimensional Sea randomly gave Chen Luo an unclaimed reward within the entire Dimensional Sea, such as the Moral Code.

In short, there are definitely no additional causes and effects. What Chen Luo needs to care about is how to get his hands on the semi-finished world-class prop he wants.

This brings us to the issue of the level of a world-class item in its semi-finished form.

The level of a World-Class item (incomplete product) is not entirely related to its power, but also to its danger level. A two-star artifact is not necessarily weak, but a three-star artifact is definitely stronger, but it is also definitely more dangerous.

Chen Luo currently possesses only one three-star artifact, which is enough to prove the rarity of three-star artifacts—[Quantum Firecracker].

That's right, it's the quantum firecracker that theoretically has the potential to blow up the entire super-large security point.

If this quantum firecracker explodes on a piece of paper, it will only tear the paper to shreds, but if it explodes on the ground, it will tear the entire ground to shreds!

It can be described as extremely dangerous!

Chen Luo has the highest probability of obtaining a one-star world-class item semi-finished product through random rewards, followed by two-star, and the lowest probability of obtaining a three-star.

And coincidentally, the friend fee is a two-star world-class item in half-finished product.

If Chen Luo wants to obtain items more easily, besides drawing rewards at appropriate times for a chance to get them, or spending a large amount of Primogems to specify or directly purchase them, there is another method...

"By stacking three random rewards together, you can turn it into a two-star random reward and then choose one of three random rewards that are at least two-star?" Chen Luo stroked his chin as he looked at the message.

"Then... let's try this method," Chen Luo decided.

[It feels a bit unfair, because you can also directly buy random rewards with Primogems... Although it's a bit expensive, it's still cheaper if you use random rewards along with Primogems.]

That's what they say... but I want to take a gamble.

You want to bet... on that three-star rare item?

"Mm." Chen Luo nodded.

On that list that suits Chen Luo... whatever it is, or in short, the buff list, there is a three-star artifact that suits Chen Luo, ranked seventh, second only to the Hand of Destiny.

Chen Luo can obtain friend fees by spending raw stones or using random rewards plus a small amount of raw stones, but three-star artifacts cannot be obtained in this way; three-star artifacts can only be obtained through gambling.

Alternatively, if Chen Luo combines nine random rewards into one three-star reward, he can choose one of the nine three-star artifacts that appear.

However, there is a certain chance that you can get a three-star reward from a two-star reward.

The one-star random reward is just a direct draw, without any bonuses.

So Chen Luo decided to take a gamble!

It's a very simple logic: although the "Friend Fee" ranks high, it has a fixed way of being obtained. The seventh place, although low, can only be obtained by gambling on random rewards of two stars or higher.

Before Chen Luo draws out the friend fee, you can use the two-star random reward to gamble on the three-star reward you need. You might get the friend fee or the three-star reward.

However, if Chen Luo draws out the friend fee and then gambles for a two-star or even three-star reward, and fails to draw the three-star item, it's like throwing money down the drain, because three-star rewards are generally too risky, and even if Chen Luo obtains them, they can only be stored away to gather dust.

If you draw something useless, isn't that just throwing money down the drain?
