Their commission was suspicious.

"How can you order two dishes by yourself?"

This should clearly be two separate requests, but you've mixed them up in one, and you're only giving ten Originium? That's a bit much.

Never mind.

"Wait a minute..."

Although... we still need to earn the raw stones.

"Ring ring ring!" Just as Chen Luo was preparing fried tofu and osmanthus cake for Cang Xuanzhi, his cell phone suddenly rang.

The source is the Book of Cangxuan.

Upon hearing the phone ring, Cangxuan Zhishu paused for a moment and then quickly took out his phone.

After glancing at the phone screen, Cangxuan Zhishu handed the phone to Chen Luo.

That's right, the phone on Cangxuan's Book belongs to Chen Luo.

Because Chen Luo always wanders around the world and never knows when he'll end up in another world, but he can't completely cut off his connection with reality, he gave his phone to Cangxuan Zhishu and asked Cangxuan Zhishu to keep an eye on it.

Although Chen Luo's bar can connect to signals from other worlds, it can't when Chen Luo travels to another world.

Therefore, Chen Luo gave his phone to the Cangxuan Book. If the Cangxuan Book received any urgent messages, it could immediately tear up the commission card that Chen Luo had given to the other party, and Chen Luo would then receive the message.

If anyone is looking for Chen Luo, Xiao Ke'er, who has been monitoring Chen Luo's family, will send a message to Chen Luo.

This call just happened to be at the right time.

"Liu Wenxuan?" Chen Luo was puzzled for a moment when he saw the name, then answered the phone.

"Brother Luo, what are you doing now?" Liu Wenxuan asked as soon as the call connected.

"Practicing carving," Chen Luo said, spouting nonsense with a straight face.

"Carving?" Liu Wenxuan on the other end of the phone sounded somewhat surprised.

"I found an old book at a stall during my travels that seems to be about puppetry, so I'm currently practicing carving," Chen Luo said, reciting the lines he had prepared for a long time.

There are indeed people in reality who are called puppeteers, but his real name is Puppet Master.

This technique is called puppetry, or mechanical art.

Moreover, puppetry techniques such as scattering beans to create soldiers and using paper dolls as substitutes existed in ancient times and were not uncommon.

Most importantly, this thing can explain why Chen Luo has been staying at home and not going out.

"Ah, Brother Luo, you're quite lucky. But don't waste your talent. If you need any materials, Brother Luo, remember to tell me. I may not have much else, but I certainly have plenty of materials," Liu Wenxuan said.

Liu Wenxuan didn't seem too surprised by this.

In fact, this kind of thing has happened quite often in the last 20 years.

Some things are only useful when spiritual energy is reviving; they are useless when there is no spiritual energy.

Therefore, finding a treasure like this is not the treatment of a main character.

Moreover, it's just a book on puppetry.

"So what's up? You don't usually call, do you?" Chen Luo asked.

In today's society, most phone calls between friends are now replaced by chat.

A phone call means something's wrong.

"Brother Luo, have you forgotten? The Xinghai City Fireworks Festival," Liu Wenxuan reminded him.

"A fireworks display?" Chen Luo was taken aback.

Then Chen Luo remembered that Xinghai City, as a coastal city, has had slightly lower summer temperatures for some reason over the past few decades, making it a good summer resort.

Therefore, when enough people come each year, a fireworks display is held.

The goal, of course, is to boost the local economy.

And sometimes, if the returns are too high, they might do it a few more times, after all, it's about making money, so it's not shameful.

Xinghai City is a tourist city and a summer resort, so it's perfectly normal for it to hold a fireworks display.

Later, Chen Luo learned that the reason why Xinghai City's summer temperature had been lower over the past few decades was mainly due to the abyss passage where Canghai City was located.

The appearance of the abyss passage may bring about certain changes to the local environment, and the change it brings to Xinghai City is that it is warm in winter and cool in summer.

When Chen Luo found out about this, he was completely stunned.

Is the abyss passage really that convenient?

"The reason I'm calling this time is naturally to ask Brother Luo what you're planning to do at the fireworks display tonight."

"Carving wooden puppets at home."

Carving puppets in a bar.

Nobody can stop me from earning Primogems, nobody!

Based on Chen Luo's previous experience, the fireworks festival would start with a market at 6 o'clock, but you had to go to reserve a seat at 5 o'clock, and then wander around the market until 8 or 9 o'clock, before the fireworks would start at 10 o'clock.

After the fireworks display, there will be some activities and such.

After all, the main purpose of a fireworks display isn't to watch the fireworks, but to sell things. If the fireworks are all over at the beginning, who will still buy things at the market?

So watching fireworks is definitely a waste of time when you're trying to earn gems.

The key issue is that Raven took the day off today. If Chen Luo isn't there, then the store will have to close down.

"Don't just stay cooped up at home all the time, Brother Luo, at least come out and have some fun."

“But I remember you weren’t the type to join in the fun.” Chen Luo sensed something was off.

"Uh, well, this time it's not just the two of us, but also Yunxia and Yun Lian'er. Besides watching the fireworks, we also need to discuss how to take you, Brother Luo, to the Abyss Passage to broaden your horizons."

"..." I really don't want to go to any abyss passage.

What's so fun about the abyss passage compared to another world?

"Okay. Remember to pick me up," Chen Luo said helplessly.

Although I don't want to go, the problem is that if there's absolutely no social interaction in this world, it will raise suspicion.

Chapter 305 Reason for Leave: The Little Fox at Home is Depressed

"Let's go, Xiaoyou." After hanging up the sign indicating that the bar was temporarily closed for renovations on the door, Chen Luo called out to Xiaoyou.

This time, Chen Luo even wrote himself a special reason for taking leave.

The little fox in my house is depressed; I need to take it to see a psychologist.

What a perfect reason!

No one can find fault with it.

Moreover, in crucial moments, they can even push the little fox out to get caught in the crossfire.

Chen Luo has only taken one day off since he acquired the bar, and this is the second time.

The first time she took leave, Mona almost starved to death.

I hope the second time I ask for leave will be fine.

Chen Luo remembered that he had prepared a lot of compressed biscuits and instant noodles for her; she couldn't possibly starve to death like that.

"Oh." Xiao You slowly floated to Chen Luo's side.

Being able to fly on a sword truly allows one to do whatever one wants.

Chen Luo had already asked everyone else in the bar to leave.

Yae Sakura and Hachimatsu, along with their two sisters, were directly taken to St. Freya Academy by Chen Luo.

Since St. Freya already has so many Herrschers, one or two more resurrected individuals won't be a problem.

Cecilia was also sent to St. Freya Academy.

It must be said that going to St. Freya Academy is indeed a very good refuge option.

It can also help Cecilia get to know her eldest daughter, Theresa.

Although Cecilia has lost her memory, Cecilia is still Cecilia. If Theresa doesn't try to get close to her, then Chen Luo will look down on her.

As for Durandal, Chen Luo granted her permission to travel between St. Freya Academy and the Destiny Headquarters twice, but only twice.

Chen Luo is actually quite strict about allowing others to cross the space through the bar's main entrance, because he's always afraid that someone might use it to cause trouble.

As for Cecilia, who was not fully resurrected, Chen Luo gave her a large number of commission cards out of a sense of compensation, as well as the chess piece that he had given to Raiden Ryoma at the beginning.

This way, if Cecilia suddenly has any problems, Chen Luo can make adjustments.

I hope nothing bad happens...

"Oh my, is this another world? It doesn't feel any different, except for the lack of Honkai energy." Sitting on the Holy Sword, Xiao You observed the living room with some curiosity.

"The absence of Honkai energy is a terrible thing in itself, okay?" Chen Luo said after glancing at Xiao You.

It was precisely because there was no Honkai energy at the beginning that Chen Luo, who became a Herrscher, almost suffocated in his own world.

"But weren't you affected or anything?" Chen Luo glanced at Xiao You a few more times.

Even armed dolls are affected in a world without Honkai energy, such as the Book of Azure.

Although the Book of Azure Mystery itself wasn't significantly affected, according to it, its attacks have been weakened to varying degrees in this world. Its ultimate attack, the Mysterious Fire Array, in particular, has been severely weakened.

"Impact? No, not at all." Xiao You shook her head.

Xiao You suddenly jumped up from the Holy Sword, then swung the Holy Sword forward with it.

A dark, gaping rift appeared in space, but it was quickly repaired.

This is the space-cutting attack characteristic possessed by the Holy Sword Durandal Armored Doll.

Chen Luo wasn't sure what kind of attacks the Holy Sword Durandal possessed, but the Armed Doll did indeed have spatial attributes when it attacked.

If that happened, Chen Luo would have to kneel down.

The premise is that this spatial ability can harm Chen Luo.

Chen Luo is currently unsure whether the virtual stealth or this space-cutting attack is of a higher level.

But Chen Luo didn't want to try.

Because you'll die.

Although Chen Luo has many lives.

"No impact at all?" Chen Luo asked again to confirm.

"It has absolutely no effect." Xiao You nodded.

"Hmm, I don't understand. Xiao You, come here for a second, let me study you properly." Chen Luo beckoned to Xiao You. At first, he only activated Xiao You with Furniture Mastery, without further confirming other aspects of Xiao You.

"Hey, what are you trying to do? No!" Xiao You quickly shook her head.

What kind of weird quirks does this person have?

"I'll just touch your hand, or maybe pat your head," Chen Luo said.

"That's not OK."

"come over!"

"Oh..." Looking at Chen Luo's expressionless face, Xiao You reluctantly floated over.

After touching Xiao You for a long time, Chen Luo had to admit that he hadn't found anything.

Chen Luo fumbled around for a long time but still couldn't figure out what Xiao You's energy source was.

But what Chen Luo knew was that he could use Honkai energy to recharge the other party, and that a 5-minute charge would provide 200 years of power.

All I can say is that the rewards in the talent panel are truly baffling.

Similarly, there are all sorts of random items, and Chen Luo still doesn't know how the concepts attached to these items were added.

……

With a screech of brakes, Liu Wenxuan, who had driven directly into the villa area where Chen Luo lived, stopped his car in front of Chen Luo's house.

After Liu Wenxuan got out of the car and knocked on the door, he was about to go in and sit down when Chen Luo pushed him out.
