Their commission was suspicious.

"Another world? Could it be that your knowledge of puppetry actually came from another world? No wonder I couldn't tell which country's technology it was from no matter how I looked at it."

"No, no, no, things... aren't that simple." Chen Luo gave Gan Yu's question with a rather mysterious smile.

[Ding! You have a new request!]

【Another world? What other world?】: It's clear that the other party is interested in your other world stories again and is very wary.

Reward: 100 Primogems

Difficulty: Two stars

"...Actually, I am a traveler from another world." Chen Luo paused for a moment before slowly speaking.

"So it's normal that some of my knowledge is too unfamiliar to you."

"What? You come from another world? Is it really okay to say this out loud?" After regaining her senses, Gan Yu glanced at her secretary with some concern.

"I don't care, it's not like it's anything to keep secret. Oh, by the way, this is for you. If you ever need any help, Gan Yu, just tear this up and I'll appear and grant your wish. And don't expect anything in return. The other one is for getting into the bar; you need to tear that up too, and then you can see the bar. You can use it anywhere."

“A bar that connects to this other world, I think you might be interested.”

As Chen Luo spoke, he handed Gan Yu a commission card and a bar invitation card.

[Ding! Mission complete]

Gan Yu must be a high-quality customer, right?

perhaps......

Chen Luo remembered that the bar had special dishes that wouldn't make him gain weight.

"Connecting to another world? Thank you." Although she didn't quite understand, Gan Yu still accepted the two cards.

Is the help free?

And what does "a bar that connects to another world" mean?

The secretary, who was examining an emperor doll, had a slight tremor in her pupils upon hearing this.

[Ding! You have a new request!]

[Wanted Cards]: Hmm, I'd like a commission card and a bar invitation card.

Reward: 110 Primogems

Difficulty: Two stars

"Do you want these two cards too?" Chen Luo suddenly turned to look at his secretary, then flipped his hand, and two cards appeared in his hand, which he then handed to his secretary.

"Huh?" The secretary stared blankly at the two cards Chen Luo handed over.

"What? Don't you want it?" Chen Luo asked back.

"...Well, this one will do. I don't need the cards or anything. I have to go back and report. Goodbye." The secretary looked at the two cards that were right in front of her, shook her head, picked up the emperor doll she had just chosen, and then got up and turned to leave.

"Don't want it? Heh, this isn't something you can just get rid of if you want." Chen Luo chuckled as he watched his secretary's retreating figure.

You've already sent the commission, do you still want to take it back?

After laughing, Chen Luo glanced at the five requests he had received in the past three minutes.

"Tsk tsk, she gave me 300 Primogems and 120 Crystals in three minutes. Tsk tsk, that's much more generous than Ningguang."

"Hmm, why did Lan Ye leave in such a hurry?" Gan Yu asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Well, who knows?" Chen Luo shrugged, his expression unchanged.

However, the two cards that Chen Luo had just handed to his secretary mysteriously disappeared from his hand.

[Ding! Mission complete]

Task issuer - Yelan

......

"call......"

Arriving at a teahouse, Ye Lan hurriedly went up to the second floor. After calming down, she breathed a sigh of relief when she found that no one was chasing her.

Chapter 321 You are Morax, how can you live without Morax?

"This Chen Luo is no simple character..."

The slight naivety on the secretary's face vanished instantly, and she gently pinched a crease on her neck with her fingers before tearing off a human skin mask and then removing the wig from her hair.

Yelan, the new owner of the Rock Tea House, Ningguang's partner, and a... well, an agent?

"And I didn't even notice it just now, but now that I think about it, it's as if the other person would give me the answer as soon as I had a question, it was so smooth it was almost abnormal," Ye Lan said, stroking her chin.

But Ye Lan suddenly felt something strange in his hand. He looked down and his body stiffened.

She found two cards in her hand, two cards exactly the same as the ones Chen Luo had tried to hand her earlier.

"How...is this possible?!"

……

"Well, from a general rational point of view, these Rock King Emperor statues, carved with special techniques and inscribed with immortal inscriptions, are indeed worth the price if they are only sold for 5000 Mora. However, the wood looks like it was just cut down and still has some moisture left, so it is not the best material to make into an ornament. But the materials used are still of good quality, so it can be said that the flaws do not detract from the overall beauty."

“Mr. Zhongli, you’re right.” Chen Luo nodded in agreement.

"Oh? You know me?" Zhongli put down the statue of the Rock King Emperor in his hand and looked at Chen Luo.

“Ah, I heard Master Hu Tao mention this morning that the Hall of Rebirth has a guest elder named Zhongli who is exceptionally knowledgeable but somewhat rigid in temperament. And you were wearing the uniform of the Hall of Rebirth and spoke with extraordinary manners, so I guessed from that. Also, to be honest, these immortal inscriptions are really not something that ordinary people can decipher,” Chen Luo explained.

"Oh, you're Mr. Chen Luo, the one who ordered 25 coffins at the funeral parlor this morning, right?" Upon hearing Chen Luo's words, Zhong Li remembered something like this.

This morning, after the head of the hall, Hu Tao, returned to the Hall of Rebirth in high spirits, he immediately had 25 identical coffins made.

If it weren't for the fact that Hu Tao had presented the Mora in full, everyone else would have thought she had been scammed.

However, there aren't many people in Liyue who can fool Kurumi...

“No, I bought 10, but the remaining 15 were a gift from Master Hu Tao.” Chen Luo shook his head.

"So why order 25 coffins for the same person?" Zhongli asked, somewhat curious.

"Because he had a lot of lives and offended a lot of people, he may have died quite a few times."

To be honest, Chen Luo wouldn't even respect Otto if he didn't die three, ten, or twenty times over.

"Hmm, some kind of substitution method? That's strange..."

"It can't be called a substitute for death, Mr. Zhongli. You can think of it as a special kind of puppetry, and then transfer your consciousness into that puppet, using this special feature to achieve an alternative kind of immortality."

“But in that case, wouldn’t the soul be the first to be unable to withstand it?” Zhongli raised another question.

"There's no need to worry about that. The other party is very clear-headed, or rather, the other party has a goal that they will never give up, so their soul won't be severely damaged," Chen Luo said, shaking his head.

In fact, immortal beings are not uncommon in the world of Honkai Impact 3, but they are also quite rare.

Immortality is not an easy achievement to attain, but it just so happens that most of the people Chen Luo knows can meet this condition.

The 13 fusion warriors need no further explanation, and Gray Serpent can also be considered an alternative form of cheating immortality.

Furthermore, Chen Luo was also pondering a question: if Honkai Beasts can live for thousands of years, can Herrschers do the same?

This is something that Chen Luo needs to verify.

Although Chen Luo is a Lawyer, his situation is far too complicated.

Immortality is achievable, since with the blessing of becoming younger with each death, Chen Luo could remain 17 years old forever even without the blessing of other Herrscher bodies.

At worst, I'll commit suicide once a year.

The situation of those who understand the laws is also somewhat special. After all, in this world, we have only heard of inner demons being killed, not inner demons dying of old age.

However, Chen Luo felt that since Honkai Beasts could not die, there was no reason for Herrschers to be weaker than Honkai Beasts.

Of course, if he's really that bad, then pretend Chen Luo didn't say anything.

However, Chen Luo knew one thing: the armed puppets could indeed live forever.

For example, Klein worked for 50,000 years, that's terrible...

"A peculiar obsession?"

“It’s fate that we met. Mr. Zhongli, please pick any Emperor statue you like, consider it a gift. After all, Master Hu Tao is quite generous, giving away 15 coffins for every 10 he buys. Of course, Mr. Zhongli, you can also pick another one to help Hu Tao take back,” Chen Luo said.

"From a purely rational perspective, one should not receive a reward without merit. The discount offered by the Hall of Rebirth does not mean that I will receive a discount," Zhongli shook his head.

"Mr. Zhongli, did you bring any money? Just one mora will do, consider it making friends," Chen Luo said generously.

"...I was in a bit of a rush today..." Zhongli paused for a moment before saying.

"That's settled then. At worst, you can just owe me a mora. Meeting is fate, so just take it." Chen Luo said with a wave of his hand.

But I have to say, as expected of you? You didn't even have a single Mora.

Or do you mean you're not bringing any money, not even a single mora?

Chen Luo didn't care about Mora, but the other party was really going too far.

Zhongli is the form in which the rock god Morax walks among humans.

In other words, the person before us is the true form of the Rock God.

Morax is a being who can generate Mora with divine power, making him the embodiment of wealth.

However, even though the Seven Stars Invitation Ceremony is about to begin, this true form still has the mind to wander around here.

And not even a single molar could be extracted.

It's true that even the three gods couldn't form a Mora.

Morax, the Geo Archon, who can produce Mora, never carries any money.

Thor, that village girl who doesn't even have a physical body and whose consciousness resides in a doll, naturally doesn't have any money either.

Barbatos? Ever since the bar became a place where he could get free food and drinks, Barbatos now donates all the money he earns from busking to charity. He's incredibly generous.

To be honest, there was no original relationship between Chen Luo and Zhong Li.

Because Zhongli didn't issue any commission at all.

It makes sense. When someone is carving their own statue, they probably don't have much genuine emotion to express.

But if it were some rare and precious antique, then Mr. Zhongli's destiny would arrive.

Zhongli was truly generous with his money when it came to rare and precious treasures. And perhaps because he had lived for thousands of years, he had a great interest in antiques and the like.

Perhaps we could develop something in this area.

"Then I will thank Mr. Chen Luo on behalf of Master Hu Tao."

"You're welcome, you're welcome, but to be honest, isn't the discount at Wangshengtang a bit too much? Isn't buying 2 and getting 3 free a bit excessive?" Chen Luo asked curiously.

"If it's a buy 2 get 3 free deal, then we can still make a profit, so there's no need to worry about that," Zhongli said as he picked out the Rock God statue to give to Hu Tao at the stall.

"That's good. I recommend the one you have here, the one that moves, I think Hu Tao would like to play with it."

“…Thank you for the reminder.” Zhong Li wholeheartedly agreed with Chen Luo’s suggestion.

As for how much respect Hu Tao has for the Rock King Emperor, it's certain, but probably not a lot. So rather than choosing a dignified-looking one, it's better to choose a fun one.

"Isn't this Mr. Zhongli?" a voice that Chen Luo found somewhat familiar rang out.

Chen Luo looked up and saw Ning Guang again.

Yes, the minutes are up, the other party is here to pick up the goods.

As for why the other party knew Zhongli? Zhongli is someone who has a relatively wide reputation among the upper class.

After all, there are only a small number of truly top talents in Liyue Harbor.

Interestingly, both Ningguang and Keqing want to recruit this human incarnation of the Rock Lord as their subordinates.

To be honest, it's not that Chen Luo looks down on Ningguang and Keqing, but... within Liyue, the only one who can suppress Zhongli is probably Kurumi.

"Miss Ningguang." Upon seeing her, Zhongli nodded slightly and continued to examine the Rock King Emperor doll that Chen Luo had recommended.

Zhongli watched Ningguang grow up, and Zhongli is the God of Rock. Although Ningguang is a Tianquan Star, Zhongli has served under so many Tianquan Stars that they could fill an entire Qunyu Pavilion.

"Mr. Chen Luo, is what I asked for ready?" Ningguang asked directly.

"It's done." Chen Luo nodded, then uncovered the large lump of stuff that was covered by a cloth behind him.
