Their commission was suspicious.

However, the most important reason why Chen Luo was unwilling to use raw stones to buy it was that if he did, the item would be directly delivered to him, but the person who lost it would truly be lost.

Unlike Destiny Coins, which are used to purchase items, if someone loses an item, they will receive an equivalent reward from Destiny. For example, if someone loses 100 yen, they will receive the equivalent in Japanese yen or US dollars.

One is a consumable, but it works well enough.

One is a commodity for trading, which is more of a supplementary tool.

"Chen Luo, your biggest problem is that your moral standards are too high," Merlin complained.

"Merlin, don't corrupt Lolo! He's still a child!" Alicia hugged Chen Luo and then glared at Merlin.

"Okay, okay, it's my fault. But it's really amazing that you could say that." Merlin raised his hands in surrender.

“A higher moral standard is not a big problem. For me, using a raw stone to obtain something that already has an owner may not be too difficult to bear, but for people who rely on this to build a family or even to save their lives, the price is simply unbearable.”

“But the Destiny Coins are different… It’s also a forced sale, but after the other party sells this item, they will get something that is more suitable for them in their destiny.” Chen Luo said, his face being squeezed by Alicia’s slime.

"So you used to spend money on raw stones..."

“In the past, I only bought unclaimed items or Primal Blessings with Primal Stones, which didn’t harm anyone’s interests. Besides, isn’t the Destiny Coin a perfect auxiliary item? Destiny is a metaphysics, like transcendence. You may not believe in it, but you can’t live without it,” Chen Luo said.

Because sometimes, whether something succeeds or fails is really just a matter of fate doing its thing.

“That makes sense. So have you ever thought about using Destiny Coins to buy that item on your Transcendence buff list?” Merlin asked.

Everyone at the bar knows what's on Chen Luo's Transcendence buff list, because Chen Luo told the bar patrons to pay attention to these things when adventuring in the Dimensional Sea.

With the blessing of the Primal Stone... what if someone actually gets it?

“Buy it, why not? I checked with the Dimensional Sea, and there are several items that have owners. Among these items, there’s only one that’s unwilling to sell, or rather, the other party is willing to sell, but the item they want also has an owner. And that item can also be sold, but… you know, it’s a nested problem. So I’ve decided to just spend three times the Destiny Coins to buy it. I’ll let Destiny handle this.” Chen Luo sighed.

The Fate Coins will naturally grant them what they desire, while those who suffer losses as a result will also gain what they desire.

Destiny Coins are best suited for resolving this nested problem, while Primal Stones are less suitable.

The raw stone is quite direct; it will simply give Chen Luo what the other party has.

One is a brute (raw stone), but a brute who can do anything.

Another skillful maneuver (Destiny Coin) focuses on interpersonal relationships and social skills.

"What about the other things you need?"

"I've already had the adventurers in the park use World Source to buy it. What I need isn't necessarily all world-class items. So spending the equivalent of tens of thousands of Origin Stones in World Source will solve the problem," Chen Luo said.

Sometimes, all that's missing before a massive machine can start running is a single gear. And gears just happen to be inexpensive.

"So, your preparations are almost complete?" Merlin's heart skipped a beat.

"No, although I'm almost there, it's still a little short." Chen Luo shook his head.

What's missing?

How would I know?

"..."

"Alright, don't worry about that. Let's think about what kind of ending we can create for you, Merlin. How about you go and charge in for Roman and explode against Goetia?" Chen Luo asked, tossing the Destiny Coin.

"I'm not Solomon, what use is my explosion?" Merlin shook his head frantically.

"That's not necessarily true. Fate can be useful if it wants to. Even if it's useless, it can be made useful. Maybe after buying this fate, a bar patron might suddenly get a substitute item that lets you die in Roman's place? Anyway, you have the Star Soul Doll, and you're used to dying. I checked... this ending only costs 4000 Fate Coins. I have just enough Fate Coins on hand." Chen Luo looked at Merlin with ill intent.

"No, no, no need. Didn't you say you bet 2000 raw stones on the gold dust gamble and only got 6000 Destiny Coins? If that's the case, 4000 Destiny Coins is only 2/3 of 2000 raw stones. That's too expensive." Merlin shook his head.

"That's not how it's calculated. Of these 6000 Destiny Coins, a portion is from my Destiny Fluctuations, which amount to about 4000 Destiny Coins," Chen Luo said.

The production of Destiny Coins is quite intelligent, after all, it involves authority.

Although it's absurd that Chen Luo's Destiny Coins accounted for a higher percentage than the gold in the gold betting game, the fact that the Destiny Coins ended up in Chen Luo's hands was itself a change in his fate.

And the change in Chen Luo's fate will in turn lead to changes in the fates of many more people.

"Doesn't that mean 2000 Primal Stones are equal to 2000 Destiny Coins? Wouldn't that be even more valuable? It's not worth using on me at all."

"That's not how it works. Merlin, you've been to casinos, haven't you?"

"I've been there."

"If you lose all your money and use something to replace your gambling debts, will it be discounted?"

"I've never lost everything because I can use illusion magic."

"Wow, you're so despicable! You cheated at gambling!"

"You have no right to talk to me like that! Weren't you cheating the whole time you were gambling with fate?"

"Hmm... How can you call it gambling when it comes to fate? It's called fighting against fate!"

"Ahem, Alicia, is this the child you're talking about?"

“Steamed bun, you’re not convinced? Tetu said that cheating that isn’t caught isn’t cheating. That’s called skill,” Alicia said.

"Tetu never said that... but never mind, anyway, if you use items as stakes, the discount will be huge." Merlin shrugged.

Alas, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, so what can Merlin do?

They're in cahoots!

"The same applies to 'All or Nothing.' Unless you gamble with the official token of Destiny Coins, everything you gamble with will be discounted. Rough stones will be considered as worthless, black, scrap metal. World Sources will be considered as a low-quality resource that even a dog wouldn't want."

"It's so dark."

“Fate is just that dark.” Chen Luo nodded in agreement.

"So... if you can earn three times the Destiny Coins that others earn by gambling with Destiny, but your bet is discounted, do you actually lose or gain?"

"A slight loss... The value of the raw stone is about 5 times that of the Destiny Coins, but I only got 3/5 of the return. But it's okay, as long as I don't lose, I'll keep making money."

"So you only spend 800 Primogems to kill me once? Sounds pretty good, huh? Wait, why should I have to die?" Merlin paused for a moment, then gave Chen Luo the middle finger and ran away.

"Honestly... Merlin, don't you think that just because I can give him a self-destruction ending, I can also give him a good ending? Why are you running so fast?" Chen Luo muttered under his breath.

"A happy ending? What kind of happy ending?"

"Hmm... I took a look, and Merlin has quite a few endings. It's even possible to become the God of Joy if you're willing to spend Paradise Gold Coins... though it'll cost a little over a billion." Chen Luo scratched his head.

Destiny Coins does indeed have this problem.

If someone is hopelessly hopeless, the amount of Fate Coins required to help them become a strong person would be excessive.

Raw stones are priced based on their difference, while Destiny Coins are priced based on their multiplier.

From 10 to 100, the difference is only 90 in the eyes of the raw stone, but it is a 10-fold difference in the eyes of the Destiny Coin.

"What about me? What about me?" Xiao Shi asked excitedly.

"How many Destiny Coins would I need to become the Star God of Memory?"

“You’re quite ambitious. Let me see… 10 Destiny Coins? Xiao Shi, let’s not be the Memory Star God anymore, it’s not fun. How about you become the Wish Star God?” Chen Luo said.

"No way! Don't think I'm stupid. You don't know you want to dump the job of the Wish Star God on me." Xiao Shi shook her head.

"Hiss...you actually figured it out?"

"Tch, I, the Herrscher of Knowledge, have a keen eye for the hearts of all people. How could I not see through your little scheme?" The Herrscher of Knowledge said smugly, arms crossed.

"Really?" Chen Luo looked at Xiao Shi with a strange expression, then at Alicia and Fu Hua beside him.

Do you know what Alicia and Fu Hua are thinking...?

Forget it.

"After lunch, maybe it's time for a nap... Hmm, Lolo, you..." Alicia hesitated, then stopped herself.

"I need to work. I'll try to gamble away all the raw gems before 3 o'clock. Then, the 200-plus commissions I handed over to the adventurers in the park that I completed yesterday afternoon will be almost finished. That will bring in another 10 raw gems. Then I'll gamble away those 10 raw gems. It will be close to evening by then."

"You sound so busy... So, will you have time tomorrow, Lolo?" Alicia asked.

“No, tomorrow will be even busier, because by tomorrow I will have recovered all the raw stones and Paradise Gold Coins I gambled out today. That means my workload will almost double... I need to hurry up and gamble out the Destiny Gold Coins to get even more Destiny Gold Coins,” Chen Luo said.

"But tomorrow is your birthday..." Alicia reminded her.

"There's no other way, I'm forced to by life. Besides, birthday celebrations are either at noon or in the evening, what does it have to do with me in the morning?" Chen Luo shrugged.

"According to your calculation, the more you invest in the Primal Stones, the more Destiny Coins you'll end up with. In three days at most, you won't be able to keep up even if you work yourself to death," the memory entity Mebius warned.

"Oh, actually it won't take three days. I feel like I can finish by tomorrow morning," Chen Luo said.

"Have you made all your money from the rough stones?"

"No, it's time for the God of Destruction to call GG." Chen Luo said as he stretched out his hand and opened his palm. A crystal ball appeared in Chen Luo's palm, and there were countless points of light inside the crystal ball.

"This is……"

"These are all the planets and forces affected by the God of Destruction that I've been collecting since yesterday noon, all driven by their obsession with killing the God of Destruction. I think if I collect them until tomorrow noon and then use these points of light to resonate with wishes, it should become a six-star request. At the very least, it should be a five-star super-large group request," Chen Luo said.

Generally speaking, if a large group commission reaches a certain scale, the reward can be comparable to that of a commission with a slightly higher reward.

The reason why the rewards for five-star group commissions obtained in both Arilo and the Millennium War of Game of Life are not above standard may be because they are not large enough compared to six-star commissions.

"So the God of Destruction is really going to lose after all? Then there will be fewer people who went to capture Hanabi just for the God of Destruction," Alicia said.

Although destruction is an inevitable part of the world, if Chen Luo were truly resigned to his fate, he wouldn't have gone to save the magical girl in the first place.

When I couldn't fight the Star God, it was one thing for him to destroy the Star God and threaten to destroy the world, but now that I can fight the Star God, he threatens to overturn the table. Why shouldn't I beat him up?

Because he has a scar on his chest... no, two scars?

One of the scars was inflicted by Chen Luo.

Because the ultimate meaning of the Destruction Path is the destruction of the world, Alicia also dislikes the Destruction Star God.

Or rather, aside from someone like Grand Duke of Hellfire who's got a screw loose, nobody would like him.

"Theoretically speaking, that's how it is... but once the gold dust spreads its story of fulfilling its wishes, its quantity will increase instead of decrease. However, to be honest, I originally started this firework-catching event not to bring bad luck to the fireworks, but to raise everyone's awareness of fraud prevention. Now it seems like you guys are the ones who are most enthusiastic about catching fireworks, to the point that fireworks can't even come to the bar," Chen Luo said somewhat helplessly.

Chen Luo wasn't really targeting Hua Huo; originally, Chen Luo had reserved the bar as a safe haven for Hua Huo.

Until Alicia said something like... "A Star God-level wish also includes a Wish Star God, right?"

Then things got out of control.

"Hehe." Alicia smiled mischievously.

"Alright, you guys go take your afternoon nap, I need to get back to work." Chen Luo stood up.

"Lolo is really energetic," Alicia exclaimed in amazement.

It's truly remarkable that Chen Luo can maintain such enthusiasm for the same thing.

Yes, it might also be because the immediate feedback—that every effort brings a reward—is so irresistible.

"Like I said, it's all out of necessity. I hope Sha Jin and his family can get along better, and I also hope my parents can bring me a normal birthday present tomorrow," Chen Luo sighed.

With this in mind, Chen Luo decided to offer some assistance to Sand Gold, such as through the park's environmental rescue team.

Because Chen Luo has been issuing missions related to rebuilding and restoring the environment for the past few days, many adventurers in the park have spent some park coins to learn similar knowledge and skills.

Therefore, in the field of reconstruction, amusement parks are number one, and no one dares to say they are number two.

Chen Luo remembered that the area where the Sand Gold people lived didn't seem to get rain very often...

"According to you, Lolo, the birthday gifts your aunt and uncle prepared for you in the past weren't very...normal?" Alicia carefully chose her words.

"That's really unusual... What kind of kind person would give a child a full set of cosmetics and a full set of gaming equipment?" Chen Luo complained.

"Well, cosmetics might be a little weird, but shouldn't you be happy with the whole gaming setup?"

"But I was only 5 years old at that time."

"...Your uncle and aunt have a very good relationship."

“It’s really good, so I’m wondering what kind of trouble my parents will cause this time,” Chen Luo said, stroking his chin.

It has to be admitted that when you have everything you need, you'll really be curious about what kind of weird birthday gifts you might receive.

“Then I should go too… By the way, Chen Luo, before I leave, would you like to customize my fate? I’m different from Merlin; I trust you a lot,” said Tokisaki Kurumi, who had been watching from the side.

Ignore Kurumi Tokisaki; she's just here to freeload.

Because all the other magical girls, Tokisaki Kurumi, went to the Magical Girl Sustainability Banquet for lunch, leaving only the original form, who wasn't qualified to go in, at the bar.

"You should know you can't lose, so your request must have some ulterior motive, right?" Chen Luo asked.

"Mm." Tokisaki Kurumi nodded.

"Speak, what do you want?"
