Their commission was suspicious.

For example... the passersby who just passed by Chen Luo and Huo Hua.

"Slap!" Chen Luo slapped the back of the head of the hound family member that the fireworks had conjured.

"Give their phone back to them," Chen Luo said.

"Why should I? This is a commission I created based on my own abilities!" Hanabi put her hands on her hips.

"Don't use this male image to do feminine actions, you bastard!" Chen Luo said, clenching his fist.

"Cough cough, alright alright, but you can't stop me from obtaining the power of my desires that I'm supposed to have, can you?" Hanabi said.

"So your method for fulfilling your wish is to first steal someone's phone, then disguise yourself as a member of the Hound family and ask if they've lost their phone, and then, when they try to find it and thus make a request, you return the phone. You get the power to wish for nothing?" Chen Luo rolled his eyes at Hanabi.

These masked fools are really...

However, judging this wish solely by whether it is reasonable reveals that this logic has no flaws.

The power of desire cannot be used to steal, but the power of joy can. The power of joy cannot be enhanced after helping others, but the power of desire can.

If you trick someone and then help them get back on track, they won't beat you up; instead, they'll thank you.

The Masked Fool got both the entertainment and the power of his desires—a win-win situation!

—The Masked Fool wins twice!

"Sigh, you've already figured out this trick? Looks like it won't be working for long. I guess we'll have to think of other tricks." Hanabi said, stroking her chin.

According to the tavern, when a method for creating a bug becomes widespread, or when the person who posted the request discovers it and the trick is exposed, the Wish Star God seems to fix the bug as soon as possible.

Now that Chen Luo already knows, this method of completing commissions is obviously no longer viable.

The tavern has come up with some more radical methods, such as instructing others to steal things, then stealing the items back from the victims and returning them to the owners... The main idea is to double-cross them!

Or you could simply wait in places like train stations, as there are often many pickpockets there.

However, with the Wish God right above her head, Hanabi certainly wouldn't try this method.

That's no different from courting death.

"Then let's switch to a big lottery. Give them a flyer and ask if they want to participate in the lottery, then offer them a prize that no one can refuse. Once they feel the urge to win the prize, then press the button to let them win it. After that, snatch the prize back and run?" Chen Luo continued.

"Chen Luo, you didn't actually come from a tavern, did you, and then opened a tavern branch that also managed a bar?" Hanabi scrutinized Chen Luo with a surprised expression.

"I kindly created a mirror that allows others to use the power of wishes, except for those who can use wishes, but you Masked Fools have caused so much trouble..." Chen Luo sighed.

"Hey, hey, hey, let's get this straight, we Masked Fools are just here for fun, not to scam. We can think of those methods you mentioned, but we might not actually do them; that's what con artists do," Hanabi said, dissatisfied.

Having an idea and actually doing it are two different things.

"Don't assume all masked fools are like that just because of the actions of a few! That's a one-sided and arbitrary view!"

“Indeed, just because a few Masked Fools are good people doesn’t mean all Masked Fools are good people.” Chen Luo nodded in agreement.

"What are you saying? I, Hanabi, have nothing to hide and have never done any of the things you just mentioned."

"Yes, you've never done it before, so you changed it to kidnapping Pipixi people?"

"..." Hanabi blinked but didn't say anything.

Huahuo didn't actually think that Xiaoshi wouldn't tell Chen Luo after seeing what she had done, so it was normal for Chen Luo to know about it.

And Chen Luo was right; the Masked Fool is not lacking in radical hedonists.

Of course, I, Director Hua, am different from them. I came to Pinocchio to be a director!

"What are you still looking at? Hurry up and leave. I'm being lenient by not hanging you up and beating you up. You still plan to get the power of wish fulfillment from me?"

"...Alright, I'll go then." Seeing that Chen Luo really didn't intend to make a move, Huahu left.

Fireworks also needs to return the phone she just got to its owner.

However, when Hanabi left, she was not happy at all that Chen Luo hadn't beaten her up; instead, she was quite worried.

"Oh no, Chen Luo didn't beat me up even when I was playing the little devil and jumping around. Does that mean Chen Luo was planning something big? I'm going to die... But I have to finish watching the show before I die!" With this thought in mind, Huabi continued to work on the power of wishes.

The power of wishing is not enough!

As for Chen Luo letting her go because he was kind-hearted? Huahuo doesn't believe it.

Fireworks knew that Chen Luo, the Wish Star God, knew what she had done, which is why she confidently walked up to him.

Because Hanabi knew that at most she would just have some fun and wouldn't have caused any harm... well, maybe it would have just caused a little psychological trauma to those mischievous people, but that was all.

If this level of punishment were applied to Chen Luo, it would probably just mean hanging himself up and giving him a beating.

But Chen Luo's refusal to beat him up actually indicates that the situation is more serious.

"..." Chen Luo watched the fireworks disappear into the distance with a blank expression.

Indeed, the task of creating anti-fraud propaganda videos is arduous and has a long way to go.

Let the child enjoy a few more hours of good life.

By the way, I'll mark the unlucky folks who got scammed by Hanabi and make them pay for it later, since they were also characters featured in the anti-fraud propaganda video...

Moreover, the mechanism of the Wish Star God is constantly being improved. Once this matter is over, a major version update will be carried out to plug all the currently discovered loopholes!

At that time, not only will helping others fulfill their wishes grant you the power of those wishes, but doing bad things will naturally deduct that power.

Just like accumulating merit.

As for those who oppose this rule? Let them oppose it then.

Who asked you to bring the wish mirror?

You don't need a wish token; plenty of people will!

As for these troublemaking, masked fools, they will naturally be punished tenfold afterward!

Those who cannot afford to repay these wish-granting powers will naturally have adventurers from the Paradise go to their homes for tea.

Hanabi is right about one thing: Hanabi only tricks people out of their wish power, and doesn't have a significant impact on the person who issued the request.

There are many things that are even more outrageous than Hanabi, because if Hanabi can think of something, then naturally someone else in this universe can think of something as well.

However, those people went too far, and the adventurers from the amusement park have come knocking on their door.

The 10x penalty on the power of wishes is only the most basic and lightest punishment, not the only one.

The masked fool... it's hard to tell good from evil.

"Sigh, it's one thing to be a laughing stock in Pinocchio, but in more chaotic star systems, it would be much more troublesome. If it were in the Dimensional Sea... that would be even more terrible." Chen Luo shook his head.

In the Dimensional Sea, apart from safe spots, souls are worn down everywhere, making the Dimensional Sea a true place of survival of the fittest.

The actions within the world are at most just playful fighting; for true cruelty, one must look to the dimensional sea.

The fact that the Pinocchio family only distributes one-third of the wish tokens will only cause dissatisfaction among the remaining two-thirds who do not receive them.

In the Dimensional Sea, distributing only 1/3 of the wish tokens to a single safe point will leave less than 1/10 of the people in that safe point alive.

Because the remaining people were all killed in the process of fighting each other for the wish mirror.

The reason they can leave 1/10 isn't because they don't want to cut anymore, but because they can't cut anymore.

This is what the Dimensional Sea looks like. If you're unhappy, don't come.

The world of Collapsed Iron has at least some order, but in the Dimensional Sea, the greatest order is the absence of order. Therefore, Chen Luo has been considering how to spread the tokens of wishes in the Dimensional Sea.

The solution to the chaos surrounding the power of wishes in the Honkai Impact 3rd world is quite simple: just prevent the power of wishes from circulating.

Those people try every means to obtain the power of wishes, naturally in order to fulfill their own desires. However, if they themselves have a bad record, they will not be allowed to use the power of wishes by the Star God of Wishes, even if the wishes are reasonable.

Furthermore, since they cannot trade their wish power to others, they naturally have no desire to acquire more wish power by exploiting bugs.

As for fireworks?

It's just a minor skirmish.

They can just arrest him and give him a beating later.

Fireworks are like this: all they need to do is have fun, while Chen Luo...

"After much thought, there is only one truly effective solution: to join the amusement park."

The fact that Paradise Adventurers can be resurrected is the reason why they can help others without restraint.

In the Dimensional Sea, helping others sometimes comes at a price.

Besides this radical solution, there are other methods, such as giving everyone a mirror... or allowing everyone to spend a certain amount of currency to buy a mirror, and after the mirror is bound, helping others will grant wish power, while harming others will deduct wish power.

Everyone has the opportunity to receive a mirror, so there's no need to fight over it.

The price of the mirror cannot be too high, otherwise someone might kill and steal it.

The problem is that the mirrors are actually a side of the wishing star god, and their number is close to infinite, but only close, not truly infinite.

"Ugh, so annoying."

[Alright, stop worrying. Once you become a transcendent being, these problems will naturally resolve themselves. You're not a transcendent being, so how do you know that transcendent beings can't solve these problems?]

"Okay." Chen Luo felt that the humanized plugin made sense.

Once he transcends this, wouldn't he have a solution if Chen Luo "wanted" it?

Isn't Chen Luo's wish a wish too?

“Before that… let those idle adventurers who have become wish-seekers venture into the Dimensional Sea. The more influence they gain, the more friend fees I can collect,” Chen Luo said.

For Chen Luo now, whether or not to spread the Wish Walker initiative to the Dimensional Sea is no longer a matter of interest, but rather his job.

Experience has shown that providing more is the best way to motivate employees.

Previously, it was just an idea, so Chen Luo never worried about the details of the Wish Walker's transmission to the Dimensional Sea, because there was no rush, and he could just experiment with it in the Collapse Iron World first.

But things are different now. When Wish Walkers leave the Ironclad World and head to the Dimensional Sea, they actually get a friend's fee!

In fact, Chen Luo had already realized that he had a lot of friend fees to collect in the Dimensional Sea, because both Paradise Adventurers and Wish Walkers were constantly expanding the Paradise's influence as they entered the Dimensional Sea.

Whether it's the adventurers in the park rescuing people and punishing evil out of interest, or the park's delivery service, or using doll marks to enchant the weapons of adventurers in the Dimensional Sea so that they can obtain park coins by killing enemies, helping them live better in the Dimensional Sea... these are all sources of friendship fees.

"Now that you mention it... the park really should suspend the use of the River God's abilities when using the courier service. Luckily, I suspended it early, and I bet I've already saved up a lot of money for my friends, right?" Chen Luo nodded in satisfaction.

The park's delivery service is simple, cheap, and fast, practically dirt cheap. It has single-handedly brought the delivery service to every household, which is truly a good deed, so it deserves a friend's fee.

The person who sent the package did pay the delivery fee, but who can blame them when Paradise Express is so cheap?

However, if the River God's power is used, those gold and silver items are enough to replace the friend fee.

Even considering that the River God's ability is Chen Luo's ability and has no potential to damage items, it would still make the friend fees that could be obtained from the courier service negligible.

Chen Luo had already suspended his River God ability for express delivery after accumulating enough fertilizer from the World Tree, and the accumulated friend fees were already quite considerable.

Perhaps now that Chen Luo has chosen to reclaim the power of the magic lamp, he can try to break through the power of wish control that he has already fully grasped.

When the power of desire jumps from 100% to 100.1%, that's when the fish leaps over the dragon gate!

"Not enough, still not enough. What exactly is missing?" Chen Luo frowned.

Now, the money comes from friends, which may not be enough.

Secondly, I haven't collected all the transcendence buffs yet.

Thirdly, the bud of infinity has not yet become the flower of eternity.

"Four times... I feel like something's missing. What's missing?

【…】

The user-friendly plugin has nothing to say about this.

Finding out what Chen Luo is still lacking in transcendence is beyond the scope of the humanized plugin.

"Becoming a pawnshop that grants wishes through collateral... Ciyu Pawnshop! That's right, only Ciyu Pawnshop can grant my wish! Damn it! Why won't the Star God of Wishes grant my wish? Is my wish unreasonable?" A voice suddenly rang in Chen Luo's ears.

"Hmm?" Chen Luo turned his head and saw a woman with slightly dark skin.

Talking badly about me?

You're in big trouble!

"What is your wish?" Chen Luo suddenly asked just as the other person was about to walk away.

"Hmm? Who are you?" The other person frowned.

“A passerby with a wish,” Chen Luo said.

“Oh, a Wish Walker! Would you be willing to grant my wish? Those people with wish mirrors say my wish is unreasonable! I've heard that you Wish Walkers have no taboos in granting wishes for others. Oh, by the way, let me introduce myself, my name is Stacy.” The other person's eyes lit up.
