Their commission was suspicious.

Chen Luo personally doesn't like to praise something that tastes bad as delicious unless the other party gives him a raw stone; otherwise, Chen Luo can't go against his own conscience.

Why eat something so bad when the food at the bar is so delicious?

"...What did you say?" Raven picked up the sniper rifle he had brought from the table next to him.

Say it again if you dare!

"Cough cough, I'm really so upset! I can't even have dinner cooked by you, Raven. It feels like I've missed out on a fortune!" Chen Luo's expression changed instantly as he shook his head and sighed.

"That's alright. Since you've said so, I'll cook you a special meal tonight. Consider it compensation for giving me a villa island for free," Raven said, feigning satisfaction.

"What? You actually repay kindness with enmity!" Chen Luo glared angrily.

"Hmm?" Raven loaded the sniper rifle.

"I will eat the food you made with gratitude," Chen Luo said, his face somewhat stiff.

"That's more like it."

"But please make sure you use the bar's kitchen, thank you." Having already taken a step back, Chen Luo didn't want to back down any further.

Even if your cooking skills are terrible, using the bar's kitchen will at least allow you to become a proficient cook.

This cooking was considered delicious by ordinary people, so Chen Luo could barely accept it.

"Do not......"

"It's settled then!" Raven said, making the decision before even having a chance to refuse Chen Luo.

"By the way, Xiao Shi, what would you like to eat? I'll go to the supermarket to buy some things later." Chen Luo ignored Raven and turned directly to Shi Bao to ask.

"Oh, what are you doing at the supermarket?"

"Of course, it's for buying things."

"Do we lack anything? We have enough to eat, wear, and use?" Xiao Shi asked, somewhat puzzled.

With the vast amount of supplies Chen Luo received from Changkong City, he wouldn't run out even in 100 years.

Food and drinks can be obtained at the bar.

“Traveler Chen Luo and the armed puppets at home don’t need those things, but ordinary person Chen Luo does. I haven’t gone out to buy supplies for many days. Although I used studying puppetry as an excuse for not going out every day, I still need to eat, right?” Chen Luo said.

"Oh, I almost forgot about that. Let's buy some more ice cream then." After Chen Luo reminded him, the Herrscher of Knowledge remembered this and said casually.

"Okay." Chen Luo nodded.

......

"Ah, it feels like it's been years since I've been to a supermarket, but it seems like it was just recently. It feels like a long time has passed since I gained my talent, but it hasn't even been a month yet." Chen Luo sighed as he walked through the large shopping mall, looking at the dazzling array of shops around him.

This time, Chen Luo didn't bring Shi Bao or any other armed puppets; he came out alone.

The reason I didn't bring Xiao Shi is because the punishment for that guy forcibly giving me a bath last time hasn't ended yet. I can't let him enter my sea of ​​consciousness, so I can't bring him out. I certainly can't bring out the armed puppet either.

Having been out alone for the first time in a long time, and not even because of a mission, Chen Luo felt a rare sense of fulfillment.

It's actually quite nice to be busy like an ordinary person, because that way you won't see that weird person lying on the ground peeking under other girls' skirts, which is something ordinary people can't see.

After the spiritual energy revival, all sorts of strange and bizarre things sprang up like mushrooms after rain. However, since only 20 years have passed, generally speaking, no great demons or monsters can be seen.

In fact, creating strange conditions is not very difficult, or rather, sometimes it can be done by meeting some inexplicable standards.

Many strange things pose no harm to humans, or even have much impact on them.

For example, there's that weird thing lying on the ground in the middle of the mall aisle.

Yin and Yang are separated; the dark world and the surface world are clearly in the same world, yet they are very far apart.

Without spiritual power, ordinary people would hardly notice anything strange, and strange things would not attack those without spiritual power.

It exists simply, like an ethereal projection.

Unless the logic behind the other party's existence is to oppose humanity.

Most anomalies have their own behavioral logic. For example, inner demons born from resentment and negative emotions may attack those with stronger resentment and negative emotions in order to seek higher development.

The vengeful spirit of someone who died in a car accident might linger at an intersection, using its insignificant power to annoy those around it and try to cause another car accident.

Such strange occurrences as the latter need to be eliminated, usually by those with innate talent, but also by some cultivators.

But what Chen Luo is seeing now is...

It was merely a faint, almost imperceptible shadow; if Chen Luo hadn't possessed spiritual power, he wouldn't have been able to sense it.

As for the reasons for the formation and the logic of the other party's operation...

If Chen Luo wasn't mistaken, the other party might just be the resentment of many creatures called "single dogs," but it wasn't enough to become a physical ghost.

And the other person was lazy, so he just lay down on the shopping mall floor and peeked at the girls passing by...

Well, it's a long story...

Chapter 380: The Little Girl's Lollipop Appears Again!

Every millennium brings a spiritual revival, but this millennium, for some unknown reason, has given rise to the phenomenon of "strange things".

Hmm, it's very likely the fault of the Abyss Dimension.

Although strange and ghostly may sound similar, they are not actually the same.

Ghosts and monsters are things that have existed for thousands of years, while the bizarre is a new product that has emerged in the last 20 years.

Ghosts and monsters are highly proactive from the very beginning; they might be more interested in devouring humans to absorb their life essence in order to increase their own strength.

In the early stages, the supernatural will follow its own instincts to execute its actions, and the more it executes these actions, the stronger it will become.

The conditions under which anomalies are created are quite bizarre, but most anomalies are similar to this one lying on the floor. Even if they grow for countless years, they will not reach the point where they can easily kill humans. Moreover, an anomaly living in a bustling city may occasionally be eliminated by a talented person passing by.

These oddities are often very interested in those who can demonstrate their own existence, which is roughly equivalent to being very interested in gifted individuals and cultivators.

So if you show that you can see the other person, they might become clingy with you.

What the other person will do after they start bothering you is uncertain. After all, an oddball is an oddball, and most of them probably don't want to be friends with you.

So there are advantages to being an ordinary person. As long as you don't see the strange things or show that you can see them, the strange things won't be interested in you.

If no one is aware of them, the supernatural will generally follow their instincts and live according to a set of operating logic.

After becoming a gifted individual and learning about this matter, Chen Luo looked around all the places he frequented but didn't see a single strange person.

Chen Luo guessed that it was probably because there were always one or two dangerous people in the places he frequented.

Chen Luo's typical route is home, school, and hospital.

Needless to say, Yunxia would occasionally come over to check on things at home, and if she found anything strange, she would take care of it.

Needless to say, the school was another story. Yunxia studied there, as did Liu Wenxuan. The two S-level talents were always hanging around there, and if they saw anything strange, they were guaranteed to make sure the other person didn't live past the next day.

As for the hospital, although Yun Lian'er won't be able to wander around due to her talent and physical condition, don't forget about Meng Jie, the succubus.

Therefore, Chen Luo didn't see a single strange thing in the schools and hospitals, the two most likely places to encounter strange occurrences.

Although these anomalies don't usually affect daily life, for an S-class talent user, they can be easily crushed, since the anomalies are basically of no help to humans anyway.

Oh, maybe, research can help.

Perhaps all the strange things in the hospital have ended up in Yun Lian'er's collection.

While pondering this matter, Chen Luo casually passed by the strange creature lying on the ground and stomped on it until it was crushed.

Such an anomaly should only have been born for a day or two. As long as a certain amount of spiritual power and magic power are attached to its foot, it can be crushed with one stomp. Even C-level or D-level talents can easily handle it.

This is just resentment; if you can get rid of it, then get rid of it.

Then Chen Luo wandered around for a long time but didn't see a second strange creature.

I don't know if it's because there's so much foot traffic here that talented people occasionally appear.

"Tsk tsk, ice cream is so expensive these days." After buying the necessities, Chen Luo went to the freezer and looked at the expensive ice cream, feeling intimidated.

Chen Luo buys ice cream just to try something new. If we're talking about truly delicious ice cream, the ice cream at Chen Luo's bar is good enough to beat the world.

So Chen Luo refused the ice creams priced at seventy or eighty yuan, and instead went to the freezer next door and picked out about ten ice creams.

Honestly, those ice creams that cost seventy or eighty yuan, or even over a hundred yuan, should be left for the rich to eat.

At least these ice creams have clearly marked prices, so they don't rip off poor people.

The ice creams in the corner of the freezer are much better. The price of one premium ice cream can buy thirty or forty of these. So why not buy thirty or forty?

then……

"Holy crap, there's an assassin!" Chen Luo stared in shock at the unremarkable ice cream he had chosen from the corner.

I had already avoided the ice creams that were already priced very high, and instead picked out a few that didn't look expensive from the corner, so why did such an expensive one suddenly appear?

If it's expensive, then at least put a price tag on it.

At least let me know I can't afford you!

Is Ice Cream Grandpa on a secret visit?

Chen Luo picked out a total of 13 ice creams and won the bid twice, which directly caused Chen Luo to exceed his budget.

Fortunately, Chen Luo's parents provided him with a considerable amount of money for summer living expenses, so he was able to manage.

"This flavor is a bit unique..." After buying the items, Chen Luo tasted the ice cream and finally gave his review.

Yes, it's quite unique...

As for the daily necessities that Chen Luo bought, he put them all into his storage space after he went to a secluded corner.

Those who were monitoring Chen Luo and needed him to put on an act for them were all people who knew Chen Luo had a storage ring. As for those who didn't know, Chen Luo didn't need to worry about them causing trouble, so using the storage space was enough.

All Chen Luo needed to do was go out for a stroll and buy some things.

What you buy is not important.

"Chen Luo, long time no see." A familiar voice rang out, and Chen Luo turned his head to see the familiar figure... the little girl's mother.

"Ah, it's Xiaolin, long time no see." When Chen Luo saw who had called out to him, he quickly went over and greeted the little girl.

The reason she didn't greet her mother first was because she had taken the other woman's lollipop last time, and Chen Luo still felt guilty about it.

Little girl, little girl, it's not that I want to steal your lollipop, it's that your dear mother issued a mission.

"Hmph! Brother Chen Luo is a bad guy!" The little girl turned her head away and tightly protected the lollipop in her hand.

"Is this lollipop the same as the one you had before?" Chen Luo asked uncertainly.

"Yes! No, I can't talk to you!" The little girl nodded, then turned her head away again.

"Okay, okay, I was wrong last time. This time, I'll treat you to an ice cream, one that costs over 100 yuan." Chen Luo handed the little girl an ice cream with a very unique flavor.

"Is it that expensive? That's enough to buy three limited edition lollipops." The little girl was a bit surprised.

Surprised, she looked up at her mother, seeking her opinion.

"Sure," the young and beautiful woman nodded.

Since the ice cream was Chen Luo's way of apologizing, it's fine to accept it.

The little girl and Chen Luo live in the same place, so a 100-yuan popsicle is nothing to them.

That's why the little girl can afford the limited edition lollipops that cost 100 yuan for three.

"By the way, Luo, could you try to persuade her to stop eating that lollipop? She's already eaten enough today. Especially now that she's eating an ice cream too." The young woman said with some concern after seeing Chen Luo and her daughter make up again.

"???" Chen Luo looked up at the young woman with a blank expression.

[Ding! You have a new request!]

[Little Lollipop]: Tell Rin not to eat this lollipop.

Reward: 5 Primogems

Difficulty: Minor

"..." Doesn't your conscience hurt?

She actually made me steal her lollipop again?

"Ooh!" When the little girl heard her mother say this, she quickly unwrapped the lollipop and stuffed it into her mouth, which was still full of ice cream.
