Their commission was suspicious.

As expected, the random rewards were quite unexpected.

However, Chen Luo felt that the frequency of random rewards had decreased recently, whether it was his imagination or not. Could it be that the rewards had decreased after the newbie period ended?

Or is the reward still the same reward, but the difficulty of the tasks Chen Luo has been receiving lately is generally lower than before?

Sure enough, the rewards during the initial development phase are the highest.

I wonder when a new world instance will be released.

"While you are indeed very skilled at cleaning up the remnants of demons, karmic obstacles and demonic obstacles are not entirely the same thing," Xiao said after a pause.

Chen Luo's speed and efficiency in cleaning up the remnants of the demon god were indeed astonishing, a fact that Xiao Shi would not deny.

"But since I can even resolve the remnants of a demon god, why don't you believe I can resolve karmic obstacles? Or do you think your Lord Zhongli has entrusted the wrong person?" Seeing that Xiao was still a little uncertain, Chen Luo directly brought up Zhongli.

[Ding! You have a new request!]

[Removing Karmic Obstacles]: Please do not betray Zhongli's trust and resolve the karmic obstacles on Xiao's body.

Reward: 800 Primogems + random reward.

Difficulty: 3 stars

Indeed, Zhongli is more effective for Xiao and certain immortals.

However, this mission was a little easier than Chen Luo had expected; he had originally thought it would be a four-star mission. Perhaps because Chen Luo and Xiao weren't very familiar with each other, the latter didn't fully trust him, only trusting Zhong Li.

However, as long as there are random rewards, it's not a big problem.

Moreover, not only Xiao's side, Zhongli's side also issued a task.

The Last Child of the Guardian Yaksha

Reward: 600 Primogems + [Outdoor Scenery] (One-time use)

Difficulty: 3 stars

The name of this task is hard to describe, and the reward it gives seems rather obscure and difficult to understand; it's unclear what it's about.

To be honest, Chen Luo initially thought that the reward for saving Liyue and defeating the Demon God, the Earth Core Power, meant that one could have unlimited power simply by standing on the ground. However, he later realized that he had misunderstood; it was simply a shield.

However, the shield is indeed quite thick.

Although the shield can only be applied to Chen Luo now, it can be applied to everyone once you get the hang of it.

If we were to describe it using game analogies, it would be like a combination of the Earth's core and the stars.

It also comes with a six-life effect. When the shield is damaged, it will restore health to the person who put the shield on. The amount restored is 40% of the damage, and the amount restored in a single instance will not exceed 8% of the current character's maximum health.

"Why are all the abilities I'm given support skills? Do you really want me to stay in the back and play a support role?" Chen Luo asked, puzzled.

Despite the confusion, the task still needed to be completed.

"What do I need to do?" asked the Great Sage Xiao.

“Reveal the karmic obstacles hidden within your body, and let me see just how serious they are,” Chen Luo said.

Although Chen Luo could sense the immense karmic power emanating from Xiao through his inner demon abilities, he was unaware of the gravity of the situation because Xiao had concealed it.

When Xiao looked at Zhong Li, and Zhong Li nodded, Chen Luo realized the terrifying nature of what had happened when the intense black energy that enveloped Xiao was unleashed.

Is the Great Sage Xiao always carrying these things while fighting?

Chen Luo was shocked to see the pitch-black karmic obstacles that looked almost tangible.

The fact that the other party hasn't gone mad despite carrying such karmic burdens for so long is truly a miracle. Although the concentration of karmic burdens on the other party now is certainly not as high as the concentration of demonic remnants left by the demon god Oser after his death, this is still something a celestial being shouldn't have to bear.

There is still a considerable gap between the guardian yaksha and the demon god.

Even Chen Luo, the inner demon, was surprised by this concentration.

"Great Sage Who Subdues Demons, it must be very difficult for you to carry such a heavy burden of karma all this time."

No wonder only Xiao survived out of the five guardian demons. Chen Luo wasn't being sarcastic; he genuinely admired him.

The guardian yaksha has endured too much.

"It's just my duty. What should I do now?" Xiao asked calmly.

"Take this." Chen Luo handed the Children's Playground to Xiao.

"After I activate this magic weapon, it will pass through your brow and enter your sea of ​​consciousness. Then your consciousness will be pulled into an amusement park, and I will go in with you to assist you."

"So what do we do after we enter the amusement park?" Xiao asked.

"That's a good question. Of course you're going to have fun once you're in the amusement park. If you don't have fun, your karmic burdens will be absorbed slowly, but it will be slow. If you have fun, they'll be absorbed much faster. You don't want Zhongli to be waiting for you outside for a long time, do you?"

“…Understood.” Xiao glanced at Zhongli and nodded.

The Children's Paradise is essentially a toy; its most significant attribute is actually the playground that comes with it, not the ability to absorb darkness.

However, Chen Luo misused this thing. He didn't really play in the amusement park, but he always used the children's amusement park as a storage device for dark energy.

Therefore, unconventional methods have their own uses.

Once the Children's Paradise successfully entered Xiao's consciousness, Xiao's consciousness was instantly pulled into a modern amusement park.

"..." Xiao looked at the amusement park full of childlike fun in front of him and was a little lost for a moment.

"Wow, I didn't expect it to be a children's amusement park like this. I've never been here before, so I didn't know. It's amazing that Ling can play here for several months." Chen Luo said in surprise when he came in with her.

Although it features thrilling rides like Ferris wheels and roller coasters, a subtle fairytale atmosphere permeates the entire amusement park.

But that's why it's called a children's playground, isn't it?

“Okay, no problem. Now that Little Sunflower Mom’s amusement park class is open, you can play to your heart’s content after I explain how to use all the facilities in the amusement park to you,” Chen Luo said to Xiao.

"Wait, what about you?" Xiao noticed the key point.

"Who would go to this fairytale-themed amusement park?"

"..."

"Ahem, I didn't say you were a child, don't misunderstand."

Although the Guardian Yaksha's height does resemble that of a child.

Kids these days are getting ridiculously tall. One first-year junior high student was 1.8 meters tall. Can you believe it?

"How long will this state last?" Zhongli asked, glancing at Xiao, who was sitting in a daze in the chair.

"Ten days?" Chen Luo thought for a moment and said.

"Huh?" Zhongli was taken aback.

"From a purely rational standpoint, you only took half an hour to deal with the remnants of the demon god, so how come it took you 10 days to resolve his karmic obstacles? Is the difference really that big?"

From a purely rational perspective, if 10 days could resolve the millennia-old karmic burden on someone else, it would indeed be worthwhile, but it doesn't make sense.

“Oh, I meant he needs to play at the children’s amusement park for 10 days. If we convert that to the real world, well, it should be fine by the time you come tonight,” Chen Luo said.

“I see. Well, although it’s a bit much compared to half an hour, it’s acceptable.” Zhongli nodded.

“Zhongli, from a general rational point of view, the remnants of a demon god and karmic obstacles are different. Although he certainly doesn’t have as much karmic obstacle as the remnants of a demon god, the key is that the remnants of a demon god can be fully absorbed, while Xiao’s body can’t handle it.”

The difference between the two is like cleaning a room.

One is an empty room that can be cleaned at will, while the other is a room filled with all kinds of exquisite figurines, and those figurines are so fragile that they would break at the slightest touch.

"Makes sense."

"Hopefully he won't get tired of it within 10 days. Even a child over 5 years old can last for three months, surely he won't be able to last even three months?" Chen Luo thought to himself as he looked at Xiao.

"A child who is over 5 years old?" Zhong Li was somewhat surprised by Chen Luo's strange description.

Whose child is over 5 years old?

"Ah, right, it's a child who's over 5 years old. If you calculate the time, it should be lunchtime for her."

"Ding-a-ling!" The wind chimes rang as soon as Chen Luo finished speaking.

"Brother Luo, are you there? Are you there?"

"Speak of the devil, and he appears! Here you are, the child you wanted to see, who is over 5 years old," Chen Luo said, pointing to Ling who ran in cheerfully.

Both Kevin and Fu Hua are over 50,000 years old, but their ages might be somewhat exaggerated because their bodies were awakened after being in cryogenic chambers for many years. Their ages are over 50,000, but their actual ages are probably only around 5,000 or 6,000.

Ling is different; Ling was truly imprisoned in the little black box for 5 years.

If it weren't for the children's playground, even someone who isn't a Herrscher would go crazy.

“Who’s over 5 years old? You’re the one who’s over 5 years old!” Ling retorted immediately upon hearing Chen Luo’s slander as soon as she entered.

"Oh, okay, I am indeed over 5 years old." After thinking about it carefully, Ke Ling realized that she was indeed over 5 years old.

However, unlike Kevin and the others, Ling's physical age is indeed over 5 years old, but her mental age is less than 20.

After all, Ling herself only felt like she had been playing in the children's playground for more than three months during the 5 years in the little black box.

"..." Zhong Li looked at the girl in front of him, who was several times his age, with a complicated expression.

You're telling me this person is over 5 years old?

Did I mishear, or did you say something wrong?

How can someone over 5 years old be so lively?

What about wear and tear?

"Brother Luo, why did you suddenly bring this up? I'm hungry, I want to eat. I want to eat the big rice ball from Yae Village," Ling said as she ran to Chen Luo's side.

[Ding! You have a new request!]

"You're really something else. There are so many good things to eat, but you insist on eating that rice ball."

"But it has to be small, I can't eat such a big rice ball." Ling then made her request.

"I know, I know."

Smaller rice balls...

Chen Luo conjured up a rice ball and placed it on the bar table.

"Thank you, Brother Luo! By the way, Brother Luo, what's wrong with him?" Ling asked softly, looking at Xiao sitting there with his eyes closed.

However, Ling's quiet voice was of no use to anyone in the bar.

"Oh... he's currently using the Children's Fun Park to dispel the karmic obstacles on his body."

"Children's Fun Park... It's been a long time since I've been there. Do you need me to make a guide for him? There are many places that only I, who have been there for more than three months, know well," Ling said.

"Go ahead and play if you want," Chen Luo said, directly presenting a brand-new children's playground.

Chen Luo now has two children's playgrounds. One playground was taken back from Ling, which was given to Ling 5 years ago. The other playground was obtained by Chen Luo from random items.

In other words, no matter what, Chen Luo has at least one children's amusement park, and at some point, he will have two amusement parks at the same time.

"Wow, Brother Luo, do you have two children's playgrounds?"

“Just one. The one he used is the one you’ve used for over 5 years. This one I have is new, and I plan to give it back to you. It’s the one from your past,” Chen Luo explained.

"Speaking of which, I really have to thank Brother Luo for giving me this children's playground. Otherwise, being locked up in a little black box for 5 years is terrifying to even think about." Ling's body trembled slightly.

Zhong Li, who was overhearing this, had a rough idea of ​​what was going on.

The object's age of over 5 years is undeniable, but the circumstances are somewhat unusual, which explains the lack of wear and tear.

"Speaking of which, I'm going to the amusement park with your sister tomorrow," Chen Luo suddenly said, thinking about tomorrow's plans.

"What? Brother Luo, you want to hit on my sister?" Ling exclaimed in surprise.

"..."

"Ahem, just kidding, just kidding. Speaking of amusement parks, it must be the one we went to when we first met, right? I really miss it... Well, not really."

After all, for Ling, those 5 years were just equivalent to playing wildly in the children's amusement park for a little over three months.

"Speaking of which, did you know that your older sister, Sakura, is Forget-Me-Not?"

Forget-Me-Not is an assassin, a very famous assassin in the previous civilization.

The reason it's called "Forget-Me-Not" is because after killing someone, the other party would place a few misty blue "Forget-Me-Not" flowers next to or around the victim.
