Their commission was suspicious.

"Um... could you specifically ask my friend, Sawa Yamada, to have a better life in the New World?" Kurumi Tokisaki asked with a complicated expression.

[Ding! You have a new request!]

"Okay." Chen Luo nodded.

"Thank you." Tokisaki Kurumi wasn't too worried about her own affairs, but she was somewhat concerned that if the Primal Spirit hadn't appeared and the 150 million people hadn't died, it might have brought about a major change in the world's格局 (geju, a term referring to the overall situation or landscape), thus making her friend's fate uncertain.

"No need to thank me, it's just a matter of 100 Destiny Coins," Chen Luo said.

"So cheap?"

"Because it's very simple. If you want someone's family to improve their financial situation, just let her dad win the lottery, right? Or... get a relocation compensation. Anyway, it's very simple." Chen Luo nodded.

Because it's very simple, the price isn't expensive.

Fate Coins are experts at manipulating destiny. In cases where destiny undergoes a major transformation that alters the future, a small number of Fate Coins can be enough to leverage a massive "fate."

At this point, the Coin of Destiny is the "butterfly".

"Okay." Tokisaki Kurumi nodded, but she still looked somewhat preoccupied.

"How many Paradise Coins should I give?" Kurumi Tokisaki asked after shaking her head.

"A friendly price of 100 amusement park coins is enough," Chen Luo said.

"Here you go. As for the debts you owe, just remember them." Tokisaki Kurumi took out a 100-yuan Paradise Gold Coin and handed it to Chen Luo.

Kurumi Tokisaki still has 100 Paradise Coins, because killing Kyubey also gives Paradise Coins.

However, although this is indeed a great bug for getting Paradise coins, Paradise Adventurers are now in a hurry to transform into Wish Walkers, and Wish Walkers are even more eager to collect Wish Power, so no one is farming "Kyubi" anymore.

"Okay, the bill's settled, I should be going now. Have a good trip." Chen Luo pushed open the bar door.

"..." Tokisaki Kurumi looked at Chen Luo's back with a hesitant expression.

"Oh, right, I forgot to tell you, if your friend's fate improves, your fates will no longer intersect with hers. That means the next time you meet, you'll be strangers." Chen Luo said to Tokisaki Kurumi before closing the bar door.

Fate is so magical; even the slightest change can completely alter a person's life.

For example, a chance eye contact, or offering a seat on a bus.

"Hey, wait!" After Tokisaki Kurumi's worries finally came true, she couldn't help but call out to Chen Luo, who was about to close the door completely.

"Hmm? Judging from your expression... you and your friend really have a good relationship."

"Yes. Although she was deceived by the Primal Spirit, she ultimately died by my hand. I want to... see her again." Tokisaki Kurumi nodded.

Kurumi Tokisaki thought about it and realized that she wasn't very satisfied with the outcome: she knew her best friend, but her best friend didn't know her.

Isn't this too much of a sacrifice for yourself?

[Ding! You have a new request!]

[Ms. Tokisaki Kurumi, you don't want things to change so drastically that you and your best friend end up as strangers, do you? Hehe.]

"If we really want to solve it, there is a way."

"What method? Do we still need Destiny Coins? Do we need to exchange them with Paradise Coins? Any amount is fine," Kurumi Tokisaki asked hurriedly.

"Any amount is fine? Well... first, give me 50 V to see my strength."

"Oh, is it only 50?"

"Isn't that simple? Just let the two of you bump into each other by accident at a corner on your way to school, right?" Chen Luo waved his hand.

"Is it...so casual?"

"Don't worry, that's how it's always portrayed in anime, there's no way it'll go wrong."

"Huh? How about... how about we try another method?" Tokisaki Kurumi felt that this method didn't seem very reliable.

And is it really appropriate to learn from watching anime?

Reality isn't an anime.

"Then... let your best friend fall in love with bands, and then the two of you can be in a band for life?"

"...Let's just bump into it anyway."

"Sigh, the idea of ​​being in a band for life sounds really cool."

"Let's just bump into it, it doesn't matter how much it hurts."

"Tch, no taste. How about you stand on a high place, your hat gets blown off, your friend finds it, and falls in love with you at first sight?"

"My sexual orientation is perfectly normal, so there's no need for that. Just a little bump is fine, really."

"So you were sent to the service club by the teacher because you didn't fit in..."

"This name sounds very strange, so pass!"

"That……"

"Take him away, next one."

"I haven't said anything yet."

"Just one bump will do, really," Kurumi Tokisaki said sincerely.

Kurumi Tokisaki thought Chen Luo's initial suggestion was already outrageous, but she didn't expect it to become even more outrageous later on.

Chapter 2302 Alicia: Lolo, be my dance partner in the last days of the old era!

"How come this job keeps piling up?" Chen Luo looked at the number of Primal Stones and Destiny Coins on his Talent Interface with a bewildered expression.

As of last night, Chen Luo's initial reserves reached 27. By this morning, when he obtained the "All or Nothing" option, the reserves had reached 30, as the outsourced commissions to the adventurers in the park were being completed.

Now that he had acquired the power of "all or nothing," he naturally wanted to find a way to earn Destiny Coins. Chen Luo's method for earning Destiny Coins was to make a bet with "all or nothing" regarding saving the planet...

Then the troublesome thing happened.

Chen Luo was busy all morning and afternoon, and finally managed to gamble away almost all of his raw stones, leaving himself with only 5 raw stones. But as soon as Chen Luo finally got a short rest, the number of raw stones started to increase rapidly again... Yesterday's raw stones were still chasing after Chen Luo!

Since leaving after lunch, Tokisaki Kurumi has not returned to the bar, and the bet involving her has not been completed, which worries Chen Luo.

Time travel works like this; you wouldn't know unless you did. Tokisaki Kurumi has quite a lot of work to do. Right now, she has to travel back 30 years to beat up the Primal Spirit and run away, then travel further back to gather information on those three magicians so she can kill them.

[Do you think everyone's like you, able to outsource 200 life-saving jobs in an afternoon?]

"That makes sense." Chen Luo nodded, then looked up at the beautiful night sky.

Chen Luo was sitting on the highest point of the new shelter base.

Ironically, with humanity's continuous exploitation of the Earth, environmental pollution is inevitable, and Chen Luo rarely sees such a beautiful night sky anymore.

But then again, if Gaia and Alaya truly existed in the pre-existing civilizations, then the outcome of the battle between humanity and Earth would be Earth's own affair.

But a cocoon of the end just happened to emerge.

Chen Luo couldn't even imagine how brilliant the previous civilizations would have been if there hadn't been the Cocoon of the End.

Want to hear a hellish joke?

"No."

A person received a divine reward, asking which period of human civilization's most advanced weapon he desired, and was given three options: after World War I, after World War II, and after World War III.

[That person thought that if he was going to have it, he should have the best, so he chose the period after World War III, and then... he obtained a stone rod made of polished stone.]

"...This really is hell." Chen Luo couldn't hold back anymore.

"Alright, stop telling me hellish jokes. Let me hear Alicia's voice." Chen Luo waved his hand in front of him, scattering the subtitles formed by the humanized plugin.

[That's possible, but don't you think Ellie's words are even more unsettling? Let me see where you left off...]

Chen Luo ignored the humanized plugin and instead lay on the spire, watching the enormous aquatic creature carrying a pale pink figure sail under the silver moon.

Meanwhile, Chen Luo heard the voices of Alicia and Eden.

This is a conversation that took place recently in where Chen Luo is now, between Alicia and Eden.

Chen Luo's listening ability allows him to communicate with non-living things, but it also allows him to hear things he shouldn't hear.

For example, some strange echoes.

In the "Today" of the pre-civilization era, Chen Luo came to this place twice. The first time, he left a bottle of wine there, and the second time, he waited until the wine was taken away by two girls.

Eden's conversation with Alicia naturally revolved around the meeting that took place during the day.

Has Dr. Mei's meeting ended?

"It's over. They found nothing unusual, and you've been cleared of suspicion."

"That's good. I don't really mind. After all, these are extraordinary times, and everyone's on edge. It's normal for my past to be somewhat mysterious and subject to suspicion. I'm so understanding, of course I choose to forgive everyone."

She's lying; she clearly cares a lot.

“Indeed.” Chen Luo nodded.

If Alicia didn't care, Chen Luo wouldn't have heard this echo.

The subsequent discussion focused on everyone's performance in the meeting room.

How did he perform in the meeting room?

“Let me think… Kevin seemed to be standing behind May and didn’t say a word the whole time. Eden, on the other hand, trusted Alicia completely the whole time. Aponia didn’t come at all, and no one invited Qianjie, Velvet… In the end, it was the most unconventional magician Velvet who was pushed out to attend this most serious meeting. It’s so pitiful.” Chen Luo shook his head.

"The night is still long, let's leave it to the two of them. After all, this is the first time Eden has publicly displayed his artificial collapse. Sigh, Eden is really something, I really want to ride a whale too..." Chen Luo said, looking up at the huge aquatic creature.

To be honest, Eden's artificially collapsed form only looks somewhat like a whale. Actually, I feel he might be more like the mythical Kunpeng, possessing both the enormous size of a whale and a pair of featherless giant wings, and his colors are so dreamlike, just like the sea...

"Regardless of what it resembles, it truly lives up to its reputation as the most dazzling, eye-catching, and enormous Honkai Beast among all. Let's leave them two bowls of hangover soup at the end, whether they need them or not." Chen Luo took out two bowls of hangover soup and placed them on a tray, then covered them with a glass dome to keep the hangover soup at a constant temperature.

And thoughtfully left a note.

However, Chen Luo didn't leave empty-handed tonight. He casually took the flawless purple crystal flower made of Honkai energy that Alicia had left behind.

To be precise, when the other party sent the crystal flower away, Chen Luo felt it was shameful to waste it, so he took it back.

"Let's go, let me think about it... what am I still missing from transcending this?" Chen Luo left the top of the base with some confusion.

……

"Would you like to talk about that meeting again? I know you care." In this state of artificial collapse, Eden's voice became even softer, like the waves.

"Okay, did everyone talk about anything else after the meeting?" Alicia asked softly.

"No more, just like the outcome of this meeting. There probably won't be any more meetings like this in the near future."

“I knew May was just saying that; she’s actually the best to me. What about Aponia? What did she say?”

“Aponia...she wasn’t there.”

"Oh, I see. Perhaps Aponia felt it wasn't necessary to waste time on things that could be disproven, since she, like you, has always believed in me. But even so, she should at least go and say a few words for me. And what about Velvi? What was her reaction?"

She didn't say a word. It should be said that Wilvi was indeed there, but she wasn't present in person.

“…Is that so? That’s a bit of a shame.” Alicia looked up at the vast sky and the clear, watery moonlight.

"Then... what about Luo?"

Because Chen Luo initially introduced himself as Luo, even after he revealed his real name in the previous civilization, everyone was used to calling him that.

"Him? He's asking what to have for dinner after the meeting."

"This is really...unexpected."

"After all, according to what Luo said in the conference room... I know everyone is special, and Alicia may be even more special, but no matter how special she is, can she be more special than me? Please respect my status as an extraterrestrial visitor."

"Lolo really doesn't hide or shy away from mentioning this matter repeatedly in front of everyone. To be honest, the fact that Lolo hasn't been dragged onto the operating table by Mebius yet only shows that Dr. Mebius likes Lolo too much."

"Because Chen Luo has nothing to hide?" Eden had never doubted Chen Luo at all.

"No, I can tell. Although Luo has been very casual around us, I feel like he's carrying something on his mind. Let's talk to him about it later. Great, it's a pleasant decision. People should always be more honest... right?"

"But stay with me a little longer, Eden. I want to enjoy the night a little longer." Alicia lay back, lost in thought.

Let's be more honest...?

……

"Alice, you've gained weight again, now you weigh 55 kilograms."

"Crack!" The portable high-speed weighing scale that Chen Luo had placed by the door was stomped on and smashed by Alicia.

"It's 54.8 kilograms. I measured it this morning," Alicia corrected.
