Their commission was suspicious.

Although Chen Luo didn't mind showing off his special characteristics in the other world, just like he didn't mind showing off his combat power in Teyvat and then beating up Oser.

To be honest, Chen Luo originally planned to go to the pre-civilized world and settle down to be a scientist, completing his missions and such.

"If I try to predict things based on the trajectory of the future and take subsequent actions accordingly, wouldn't that mean getting trapped in a time loop? But if I don't arrange my destiny according to what I foresee, won't the future change?"

"Or will I acquire a tool that can change the current situation in the future?" Chen Luo pondered as he pushed open the bar door and went inside.

The randomness of the random items always left Chen Luo completely bewildered.

Random items are useful in some way, some may be very useful, and some may be less useful. Some random items are truly crucial, but because of their randomness, the future self cannot provide the present self with much information.

This reminded Chen Luo of several important points in the letter he had written to himself.

First, the Contract Book is very useful.

Secondly, the Herrscher of Thunder one-time summon card is very useful.

Thirdly, six-star items are very important.

The Book of Contracts might be useful, but why haven't the miners paid the price in two days?

Perhaps we can summon the Herrscher of Thunder later and ask her something.

Anyway, according to the Herrscher of Thunder herself, as long as the Herrscher of Thunder is not allowed to waste energy, the one-time use card can be reused.

As for 6-star items, there are a few more nuances to consider.

Chen Luo currently has 31630 raw stones.

He was already guaranteed to get a 6-star, but the problem was that after saving up so many Primogems for so long, gambling on an uncertain 6-star would be very painful for Chen Luo.

Although my future self does remind me that six stars are very useful.

We definitely have to try our luck, but let Chen Luo save up a little more first.

Lottery draws are highly unpredictable, and Chen Luo also needs to save up a lot of raw stones for future use.

Actually, Chen Luo didn't really want to take the risks with the raw stones he had worked so hard to earn.

But who can blame him when this gacha pool contains 6-star items? Chen Luo has never seen a 6-star item or 6-star ability in his entire life.

Another crucial point is that the Traveler's Talent accessory seems to be obtainable only through gacha pulls.

Chen Luo still doesn't know how many of his talents are actually "gifts".

Talent accessories are somewhat overpowered, such as bars and teleportation anchors.

So I have to smoke.

Let's make a bold guess: since it's based on the Traveler template, is it possible to extract something that can stop or accelerate time?

After all, they already have teleportation anchor points.

"Ah Luo, you're in big trouble. Raven's here looking for you." Shi Bao said to Chen Luo as soon as he entered the bar.

"Hmm?" Chen Luo tilted his head.

The ravens are coming, why should I suffer?

Chapter 378 Raven: Seven-day no-questions-asked return policy?

"Oh, I remember now, Raven came to invite me to dinner at her villa island tonight, right? Shi Bao, really, even though Raven's cooking is terrible, you can't talk about her like that." Chen Luo rolled his eyes at Shi Bao.

Chen Luo remembered that Raven had said yesterday that her villa island should be completed today, so to express her gratitude to Chen Luo, she planned to treat him to a meal.

And it was Raven himself who cooked.

And there were only Chen Luo and Raven.

Although Chen Luo was somewhat wary of Raven's cooking skills, he couldn't refuse her offer, given her good intentions.

At worst, we can just have the raven cook in the bar. At least its culinary skills will be enhanced when cooking in a bar, and the food it makes will be edible.

"Uh..." Upon hearing Chen Luo's evaluation of Raven's cooking skills, the Herrscher of Knowledge was at a loss for words.

"Heh, heh heh... My cooking is terrible, isn't it? My cocktails are awful, aren't they?" A somewhat subdued voice sounded behind Chen Luo.

"!!!" Chen Luo was startled.

Logically speaking, Chen Luo had just entered the bar, so there shouldn't be anything behind him.

When Chen Luo turned around, somewhat stiffly, he saw the raven that had been standing behind the door.

Raven seemed to know all along that Chen Luo would definitely return to the bar, so it hid behind the bar door and waited for Chen Luo.

Upon hearing Chen Luo's evaluation of his cooking skills, Raven's face darkened completely.

Your cooking is terrible, and your cocktails are awful!

"Wait, I have a question." Just as Raven was walking towards Chen Luo with his fist clenched, Chen Luo suddenly raised his hand and said.

“Speak,” Raven said coldly.

In order to ensure that Chen Luo would die knowing the truth, Raven allowed Chen Luo to ask one last question.

"With such big breasts, if you had been hiding behind the door, wouldn't I have bumped into your slime when I opened it? Did it hurt?" Chen Luo pondered, stroking his chin.

This is something that would happen in a rational sense.

"...Go to hell." The raven, whose face had gone from full of resentment to full of murderous intent, fiercely pounced on Chen Luo.

Raven didn't want to talk about this.

Because who knew Chen Luo would open the door so wide, directly hitting the door at its maximum opening angle.

I had tried my best to avoid talking about this, but since the other party had brought it up anyway, then I shouldn't blame Raven for not showing any mercy.

However, the raven seemed to have forgotten one thing.

That means you can't hurt each other in the bar, and even if Chen Luo lifts the rule against both of them hurting each other, then...

"Let me go! Let me go!" Raven struggled beneath Chen Luo.

"Let me tell you, I've studied grappling techniques." Hearing Raven's angry voice, Chen Luo didn't let go.

If you tell me to let go and I just let go, wouldn't I lose face?

Besides, haven't you already learned your lesson once? Why would you still want to engage in close combat with me?

You think my melee mastery is a pushover?

Women are really strange.

"To be honest, I only said your cooking was bad. The point is, your cooking really is bad. Xiao Kong and the others can testify to that," Chen Luo said calmly while pinning Raven down.

"Children shouldn't look at these things." Shi Bao pulled over Xi Lin, who was curiously looking at Chen Luo and Raven, and covered her eyes.

"You wrecked my villa island, and now you're even criticizing my cooking! I have to beat you up to appease public anger!" Raven said with a hint of resentment in his voice.

"But the problem is that your cooking is really... wait, what did you just say?" Chen Luo was about to reiterate this point, but then he realized something.

It seems there's another important matter waiting for me to deal with.

"It wouldn't be enough to appease public anger if I didn't beat you up."

"last sentence."

"And you even criticized my cooking!"

"Uh, no, one more sentence."

"You wrecked my villa island!" Raven said resentfully.

This is actually the key reason why Raven rebelled against Chen Luo.

"When did I smash your island? We need evidence to back up our claims, okay? I've been fighting the demon god all day, how could I have time to smash your island?" Chen Luo tried to reason with Raven.

"Still saying it wasn't you? Didn't you keep saying we shouldn't buy the island, or it would sink? Now that it's really sunk, you're telling me it has nothing to do with you? Who's going to believe that?" Raven said.

"Well, generally speaking rationally... although I might indeed be the prime suspect. But everything really needs evidence. By the way, how did your villa sink? Did you lie on the ground rolling around crying?" Chen Luo asked curiously.

"You bastard, did you and Fu Hua plan this together? You're asking me the same question? Who paced, who ran, who rolled around? Don't you dare slander me, how could I do such a thing?" Raven immediately denied it.

I didn't ask you if you were pacing or running.

At the same time, upon hearing this, Chen Luo couldn't help but turn his gaze toward the Herrscher of Knowledge.

Seeing Chen Luo looking at him, the Lawyer of Knowledge shrugged.

Honestly, when you see Raven's island sink, your first reaction should be to ask her if she was rolling on the ground crying, right?

My villa island! My villa island!

Although Ningguang's Jade Pavilion was not destroyed, Raven's Island was destroyed. Is this a case of retribution?

“Alright, I think there might be some misunderstanding between us. Let’s calm down and sort this out. First of all, how did your island disappear?” Chen Luo asked.

"So what you mean by 'let's have a calm and peaceful chat' is that you used grappling techniques to pin me down and take advantage of me?"

"!" Upon hearing the words "taking advantage," Shi Bao's eyes narrowed.

"Don't talk nonsense. I didn't take advantage of you. I was capturing you properly." Chen Luo immediately got off the raven's body to prove his innocence.

Raven's move was a decisive blow.

"Hmph!" Raven snorted unhappily and rubbed his wrist.

It seems like this guy's strength has increased a lot since I last saw him a few days ago.

"My villa island was hit by a meteorite. Although it sounds outrageous, the island sank right after that group of construction workers from the heavens left the island and told me I could inspect it."

"According to local laws, although a meteorite that falls from the sky into someone's yard belongs to that person, and it certainly belongs to me if it falls on my island, after exploration, we found that the meteorite has no special substances on it, its value is pitifully low, and it can't be sold at all, so we can't make up for the loss." Raven still had some deep resentment when he said this.

If a priceless meteorite crashed into a villa island, but the money from selling the meteorite could buy two villa islands, Raven wouldn't be angry.

But the fact that the meteorite was worthless really upset the raven.

"It was hit by a meteorite?" Chen Luo asked in astonishment.

“That’s right. Moreover, the meteorite only destroyed the villa island, but did not cause any serious damage to the surrounding ecology. Such a coincidence could not have happened unless it was man-made.” Raven stared intently at Chen Luo, trying to read something from his face.

"..."

This is definitely too much of a coincidence.

Thinking of this, Chen Luo looked at the Book of Contracts in his backpack.

Well, is it possible that after signing the contract, Raven completely disregarded its spirit and failed to abide by it, so when the other party actually broke the contract, Raven's property was taken back according to the contract and the Book of Contracts?

Since the contract signed during the contracting process concerns the raven's property, anything that could harm life, other than property, is not permitted.

So the meteorite just happened to hit Raven's villa island, and just happened to only damage the island, causing it to sink perfectly...

"Nata, did you remember anything after seeing this contract?" Chen Luo summoned the Book of Contracts and showed the contract he had signed with Raven.

"So what if it's a joke contract? That's not important right now. What's important is my villa island!"

"But is it possible that this isn't a joke contract, that this contract is real, and that some mysterious force is responsible for its signing?" Chen Luo raised a possibility.

"!"

"Is it also possible that your island sank because you violated the spirit of the contract...?"

"Impossible! That happened two days ago. Didn't we sign the contract then? Why did it only sink today?"

Raven suddenly remembered why Chen Luo had asked him about any property losses some time ago. So this contract really wasn't a joke after all?

"Is it possible that after the villas on that island are built, this completely complete villa island will become one of your most precious assets?" Chen Luo raised another possibility.

Moreover, it is a highly probable possibility.

"This... can't be right? Is this thing really that intelligent?" Raven looked at the Book of Contracts in disbelief.

“Then why don’t you take a look at this…” Chen Luo said, turning the Book of Contracts over to reveal the back of the contract page.

But somehow, a few lines of small print appeared on the back of the contract.

Breaching Party: Raven

Breach of contract: unexcused absence from work, serious violation of the spirit of the contract, disregard for the contract.

Default level: 8 (out of 10)

Penalty for breach of contract: Repossession of the villa island.

This is something Chen Luo just saw.
