Their commission was suspicious.

Because Chen Luo had angered Mebius, he voluntarily returned to the bar to avoid further upsetting Mebius.

"Huh? What are you doing?" Mona asked as she walked over.

"Take half of these things," Chen Luo said, placing the items he had bought during his big shopping trip at the supermarket earlier that day next to the counter.

"These are my spoils from shopping at the supermarket, but I don't need them myself. I remembered that you seem to be short of daily necessities, so I decided to give them to you. Besides, if you don't need them, you can sell these otherworldly supplies for a good price," Chen Luo said.

"Oh? Thank you. I'm so touched that you thought of me when something good happened. But who will you give your other half to?"

"Give it to someone who's even worse off than you."

Chen Luo was referring to Pekora.

Chen Luo was certain that it wouldn't be long before Pekora would definitely be entering the bar.

LOL, without Chen Luo's bar, the other party couldn't even afford to eat. How could they not come to the bar?

We can give the other party the remaining half of these supplies.

Chen Luo didn't even bother to accept the other party's request for this simple favor between friends. Otherwise, he would have asked the other party if they wanted these things first, and he would definitely have been able to get some raw stones.

[Ding! Talent upgrade successful. Please check your stats.]

Chen Luo just did a simple good deed, and his talent level was successfully upgraded.

"It is hoped that the power of this ruler can undergo a transformation."

【Domination - Puppeteer】(SS-rank talent): Puppeteers are beings who manipulate everything. Now, it is time for puppeteers to regain their glory.

silk:

Silk thread is the most reliable tool for puppeteers and the craft they rely on for a living. Your control over silk thread will be extraordinary.

You can attach any kind of ability or power to the threads that come with your talent, and then shape them into special attribute threads.

You can turn most things into threads, and once you record the properties of these threads into your talent, you can use special energy to produce them infinitely.

Dominate:

It can command any living being, energy source, or object in the surrounding environment through means such as sound, eye contact, or even thought, and force it to execute.

(Equivalent to an alternative version of Word Power)

If a mark of domination is placed on certain entities, this influence will be even more powerful and can be released over long distances.

Doll:

It can manipulate any physical entity into a puppet, and when it is transformed into a puppet, it will undergo a wave of enhancement, the intensity of which depends on the situation.

This talent comes with a unique space that can store an unlimited number of puppets, with each puppet having its own separate space.

Those with special abilities can temporarily or permanently gain control of a puppet's body to engage in combat.

Stripping:

A skilled puppeteer must learn to collect materials. With this talent, one can extract the spirit, soul, body, concepts, characteristics, and even innate abilities of others and store them as materials in a material library.

Group networks:

Obtain a group network for communication purposes. Through the group network, you can instantly summon puppets to the vicinity of the talent user, and you can also transfer items through the network without any cost.

By paying a certain price, the talent abilities of puppets or gifted individuals can be uploaded to the community network for other puppets to download and learn.

The dead are resurrected:

The group network will record and back up all doll information in real time. When a doll dies, its soul will be uploaded to the group network immediately, and the doll can be resurrected at a certain cost (Original Stones).

(If the soul is destroyed by a special force, the energy required for resurrection will increase dramatically.)

"Holy crap, the dead are resurrected." Chen Luo was startled when he saw the last message.

No, no, no, or rather, Chen Luo was shocked by everything except for the silk thread ability when he first saw this talent.

Is this still the Law of Domination?

It doesn't look like it.

Judging from the name changed after the talent upgrade, it seems that the Herrscher of Domination is indeed a bonus from the Puppet Master's Stigmata.

Or is it that Chen Luo's puppeteer profession is simply too domineering, and has begun to gradually assimilate Chen Luo's talent?

Because the compatibility between the Dominator and the Puppeteer is too high, they simply assimilated each other. What an overbearing profession!

Also, Chen Luo used to think he had overestimated the profession of puppeteer as much as possible.

Chen Luo realized that the profession, which started as a simple support role, had become somewhat absurd after the other party adapted to and modified the fate ability, turning it into a fate line ability.

Now, things have gotten even better. They've turned the SS-level talent into a freebie. Although the compatibility is quite high, the only thing that's changed from beginning to end is the SS-level talent itself. The Puppeteer profession itself hasn't changed at all.

This hardly qualifies as mutual influence.

What kind of talent bullying incident is this?

Could it be that this puppeteer profession is even more impressive than the amazing profession I originally imagined?

Well, to put it simply, this time the talent has been improved and enhanced in some ways compared to the original talent.

It strengthened the group network and the doll making and silk thread.

Group networks no longer require Primogems, and doll creation is no longer limited to biological entities; non-biological entities can also be created.

For example, Chen Luo can now control Yvette's corpse into a puppet, but since Chen Luo hasn't restored her soul yet, she might have amnesia. What use is an amnesiac Yvette?

The silk threads are a familiar topic, being Chen Luo's most frequently used attack method, and their effectiveness has indeed improved considerably after being enhanced.

In fact, that stripping was reinforced, rather than created out of thin air.

After Chen Luo kills others and transforms them into puppets, there is a chance that he can extract their talents, although they may be severely damaged.

It has become more stable now, and in addition to talent, it can also strip away other things, without even killing the other party or turning them into its own puppet.

The additions include control equivalent to the power of words, and the ability to revive the dead.

Or, to put it another way, [backup].

The resurrection of the deceased, in particular, made Chen Luo realize some rather dangerous ideas.

Previously, Chen Luo only thought about self-destructing some Honkai Beasts, but what if he were to self-destruct Yvette, the angel?

Anyway, we can revive, right? We just need to test the consumption later.

Overall, this new SS-level talent meets Chen Luo's expectations for SS-level talents.

Almost every single one of these talents is quite good on its own, at least A-level.

"Siolla, crouch down!" Chen Luo suddenly said to the raven standing idly beside him.

Of course, before that, Chen Luo also suddenly lifted the restrictions on mutual harm and influence between Chen Luo and Raven.

"!!!" The raven, who was waiting for the guests, suddenly felt its legs go weak and its body involuntarily obeyed Chen Luo's command and began to squat down.

However, after the initial confusion and disorientation, the raven instantly became alert and then tried to resist this strange sense of control with its own will.

In the end, Raven neither squatted down nor stood up, but instead knelt on the bar counter, its expression suggesting that it was under some kind of heavy pressure.

"Alright, get up." Chen Luo said casually.

"Bang!" After letting out a sigh of relief and standing up, Raven grabbed a frying pan from the side and smacked Chen Luo on the back of the head.

The sound of a frying pan hitting a hard object echoed in the bar, naturally attracting everyone's attention.

"Everyone, keep eating. Don't worry about it. We're just doing an experiment to see which is harder, a head or iron," Chen Luo said quickly when he saw that everyone had stopped eating.

"What did you do to me just now?" Raven said irritably.

Raven and Chen Luo have known each other for quite some time. If it were just that Chen Luo wanted her to cooperate with the experiment, he could have simply said so. But this sudden change of heart is really something to be ashamed of.

"Well, I was just testing out my new ability. You've already hit me, so you should calm down now. Of course, I should also apologize."

If you make a mistake, you have to stand up straight and take the punishment.

Chen Luo had apologized and been beaten, so Raven had no choice but to give up for the time being.

"Hmm, it seems there's a slight difference between this level of control and the actual description. Can this be considered a buyer's show versus a seller's show?" Chen Luo muttered to himself.

However, Chen Luo was already quite satisfied, after all, he had just acquired this ability, and Raven... her strength was not weak at all.

Siola was trained by Grey Serpent from a young age and is extremely powerful. Although she would definitely not be able to defeat a Herrscher in her current state, she is still able to deal with a Judgment-level Honkai Beast.

With such a powerful ability right after acquiring it, what could Chen Luo possibly be dissatisfied with?

SS-level talent only represents the level; how powerful it can be is up to the user.

"jingle!"

The wind chimes rang.

This time, a new guest arrived.

Chen Luo's eyes lit up the moment he saw the other person.

A huge wave of raw gems is approaching!

Chapter 390 The Sage's Blessing and the [Presence Trait Stripping] Surgery

The new customer, upon opening the door and seeing the interior of the bar, immediately closed it. Although his expression was indifferent, it was still clear that he had a slight sense of awe and distance towards bars.

He seems to be a "good kid" and "good student" who is rather averse to bars.

But then again, Chen Luo seems to be just a second-year high school student... or almost a third-year student.

"Please come in." Chen Luo said with a smile as he watched the departing guest.

The voice was soft, but it was filled with an undeniable authority.

emmm...

"please"?

Chen Luo suddenly felt that he was somewhat similar to Aponia.

However, while discipline and domination may seem similar, they are fundamentally different.

After a brief moment of hesitation, the customer obediently went into the bar and closed the door.

The newly acquired domination ability has not yet fully affected the raven, but controlling an ordinary person is no problem at all.

Chen Luo recognized this new guest, though the other party didn't recognize him. However, Chen Luo's ability to have a subordinate came from her.

"What's your name?" Even though I already knew, I still had to ask.

"Kato Megumi," the other person said uncontrollably.

Megumi Kato is a girl with an extremely weak presence, though she doesn't particularly like this trait. She's known as—Saint Megumi.

Although theoretically, the other party should have a weak presence because of their ordinary name and lack of personality, Chen Luo felt that the other party had some special qualities.

While this trait doesn't quite reach the level of talent, it is undoubtedly unique.

Upon sensing this trait, Chen Luo subconsciously glanced at his own peeling ability.

If the description is correct, this stripping ability seems to be able to strip away the other person's characteristics, abilities, emotions, memories, talents, and so on.

Hmm, Chen Luo suddenly sensed a large wave of raw stones approaching.

"Snap!" Chen Luo snapped his fingers, and the other person's body trembled slightly before he subconsciously took a step back.

"Don't panic, sir. I'm not a bad person, just a bar owner. Of course, I understand your reluctance to leave bars, after all, you're still a student."

But Chen Luo is also a student.

"..." Kato Megumi looked at Chen Luo warily, while glancing around at the same time.

The feeling of not being able to control her own body had indeed made Kato Megumi somewhat flustered and lost in thought.

Although Kato Megumi is usually quite calm and rational, anyone would panic a little when faced with such a bizarre and supernatural event for the first time.

"Oh, I'm sorry for inviting you here in that way. How about this, I can offer you some help to make up for this mistake?" Chen Luo said.

Chen Luo personally felt that the attribute of dominance was rather impolite to others in everyday life.

This is why Aponia had a rather bad reputation in the pre-civilization era.

After all, you wouldn't be happy if someone suddenly started mind-controlling you while you were walking around.
