Their commission was suspicious.

"The essence of my ability is to turn any being with talent below SS level into a puppet under my control. Even if a puppet I control dies, I can revive it at a certain cost. In other words, as long as I am alive, that puppet can be revived indefinitely. At the same time, all my puppets can share skills, talents and knowledge."

"Once the other party becomes my puppet, they will be absolutely unable to resist my will."

"Uh, it sounds like the ability of a supervillain. And are SS-level talents all this outrageous? Sharing abilities, skills, and knowledge..." Although Yun Xia didn't quite understand, she was greatly shocked.

This thing sounds completely different from S-level talents.

Although the opponent's ability doesn't seem to have any direct combat capabilities, don't forget that the opponent has the War Angel Yvette. If they turn her into a puppet, and then make her launch a self-destruct attack, and then pay the price to revive her, and then launch another self-destruct attack... who can withstand that?

"Wait a minute, that cultivation technique you and Su Yuan wanted, which is similar to the Heavenly Demon Disintegration Technique, wouldn't it be for Yvette's sake?" Yun Xia seemed to have suddenly discovered a key point.

"You guessed right. Self-destructing angels and all that, doesn't that sound interesting?" Chen Luo snapped his fingers to confirm.

"Excuse my bluntness, but if you use your SS-level talent well, you really can secretly hold the entire world in your hands. At least that's how it is before those big shots are completely unsealed," Yun Xia said.

“Because you are a life form of this world, whatever outrageous things you do will not be considered an invasion from the outside world. Therefore, those powerful figures cannot leave their self-imposed isolation because of you. So, at least until 2050, you can do whatever you want. By the way, is there a limit to the number of puppets you can have?” Yun Xia asked.

"As I said, my SS-level talent was upgraded from an S-level talent. The original S-level talent was limited to 1000, but after becoming an SS-level talent, there is no limit to the number of puppets."

"Hmm... Your ability is a bit unbeatable. The only chance to kill you is to kill you before you grow stronger. Your ability is more supportive, so you can't expose yourself before you have S-class combat power... But once you have S-class combat power, there will be a qualitative change."

At this point, Yunxia couldn't help but look at the Herrscher of Knowledge, who was lying on the other sofa like a lazy bum.

Hmm, is it possible that the other party only confronted me after they had fully developed the ability to protect themselves?

A wise choice.

"A talent who can resurrect infinitely, and who immediately uses the Heavenly Demon Disintegration Technique to fight people, and who is also a War Angel with the hope of breaking through to a higher level... This seems so troublesome." Thinking of this, Su Yuan felt a bit confused.

"The most important thing is that even if I can't fight, I can still run away. I'll hide in a bar, who can find me? Then they can just wait for the endless suicidal revenge from the S-class talent with self-destruct abilities." Chen Luo's face was filled with confidence.

"Then, 50 years later, we'll be besieged by all the ancient monsters from the self-imposed land who came out a thousand years ago. Or, when other planes attack us, they might just come out and slap us to death, right?" But then Chen Luo became a little discouraged.

Chen Luo was confident that his opponent could not kill him, and might even be able to kill a few of them in return.

But the problem is, the world is so big, don't keep focusing on just one world.

After you've done your business in another world, go back to your own world and enjoy it. Isn't that great?

For Chinese people, leaving their hometown is already a difficult thing to bear, let alone leaving this world.

"At least you have some self-awareness." Yun Xia nodded.

“The most mysterious thing about these old monsters is that after a 500-year gap, we have no idea about their strength and cannot predict it. This requires us to maintain a certain degree of awe for their strength.” Yun Xia sighed.

"That's right, but don't worry, let me cultivate for another ten years or so. I'll protect you then. After all, you're a support-type talent user, right?" Su Yuan patted her chest and assured him.

"Supportive... well, from a generally rational perspective, that's certainly true." Chen Luo nodded in agreement with Su Yuan's assessment.

Chapter 474 Five-star item is... a celestial artifact?

"So you called us all together in this ward just to tell us that you're not an A-level talent?" Yun Lian'er sat on the hospital bed, looking at the ward where there were more people than she had seen in a long time.

Normally, there are two living beings in Yun Lian'er's ward: Yun Lian'er and Mengmeng.

Now, so many people have suddenly crowded in that Yun Lian'er is feeling a bit out of place.

"Sign the contract first, thank you for your cooperation." Chen Luo sent out the three contracts.

One for Liu Wenxuan, one for Yun Lian'er, and one for Sister Meng.

"Signing a contract is fine, but I'm really curious about what secrets you have," Liu Wenxuan said after taking out a pen from his storage space and signing his name.

Liu Wenxuan signed the contract smoothly and without hesitation.

"That depends on what kind of secret you're talking about," Chen Luo shrugged.

To be honest, Chen Luo has a few secrets.

Moreover, even though he has signed contracts with many people, only the Law Master truly understands Chen Luo completely.

After awakening his talent, Chen Luo was in a state of distrusting everyone, and the intervention of the Herrscher of Knowledge was a unique and perfect opportunity, which is why the Herrscher of Knowledge was able to understand Chen Luo so well.

Under any other circumstances, Chen Luo would not have shared so many secrets with the Herald of Knowledge.

At that time, Chen Luo was in a period of confusion about his special power, having just awakened his talent and received his first special mission.

If the Herald of Knowledge had appeared a day later, after Chen Luo opened the bar, the relationship between the Herald of Knowledge and Chen Luo would have been at most that of familiar strangers.

At the same time, since the secrets of the Herrscher of Knowledge are no less significant than those of Chen Luo, Chen Luo does not need to worry about the Herrscher of Knowledge leaking secrets. Otherwise, the first person to be arrested would definitely be the Herrscher of Knowledge, not Chen Luo.

Due to a combination of various reasons, the Herald of Knowledge, who has known Chen Luo for less time than others, understands Chen Luo's current existence better than anyone else.

As for the strange contract, Sister Meng held it in her hand without touching it. Only after Yun Lian'er signed the contract and nodded to the other party did Sister Meng sign the contract.

Mengmeng, the succubus, is a familiar summoned by Yun Lian'er. Although the relationship between them is not yet as close as that between Chen Luo and his puppet, the master-servant relationship between them has indeed been established.

"Don't be afraid when I tell you this, but the average talent level of everyone in this ward right now is S-level," Chen Luo said solemnly.

When Chen Luo said those words, he also set up a barrier around the ward to prevent eavesdropping.

Then... the barrier was neutralized.

"Don't worry, I've turned this ward into a magician's stronghold. Even a nuclear explosion wouldn't harm us in the ward, and there's no need to worry about confidentiality," Yun Lian'er said, seeing Chen Luo's actions.

"Lolo, I hope you won't forget me when you talk about this, okay? Although the eldest and second young ladies are both S-rank talents, I'm actually a succubus. If you were to calculate it, I'd only be an A-rank talent at most," Mengmeng said after blinking.

“But the problem is that Alo is an SS-level talent, and on average he’s still an S-level talent,” Yun Xia said, stroking her chin.

"Hmm?" Yun Lian'er, who was usually calm and collected, looked at Chen Luo with surprise and doubt after hearing Yun Xia's words.

“Yun Xia is right. So one of the secrets I want to tell you is… I’m actually an SS-level talent user.” Chen Luo, whose information had been exposed beforehand, could only nod in agreement.

"Hey, Liu Wenxuan, why aren't you surprised at all?" Yun Xia looked at Liu Wenxuan curiously.

"Heh, only you guys didn't see Brother Luo's extraordinary nature." Liu Wenxuan curled his lip slightly.

"Ah, did I expose anything?" Chen Luo looked at his entire body with some surprise.

"No, it's not there," Su Yuan said after checking as well.

"Alright, Brother Luo, stop looking. You won't find it. Brother Luo, you've done an excellent job of concealing your strength, so much so that even I only think you're an A-level talent. But the problem is, I'm a blacksmith," Liu Wenxuan said.

"What do you mean?" Chen Luo was somewhat confused.

“Although Brother Luo’s disguise is flawless, the problem lies in that Eye of God on your body. It looks very red to me. If I’m not mistaken… this should be a celestial artifact, right?” Liu Wenxuan said, pointing to the Eye of God on Chen Luo’s neck.

"And the chain you used to hang this immortal artifact must also be a five-star item, right? Using a five-star item as a chain is too extravagant." Liu Wenxuan looked at Chen Luo's necklace and clicked his tongue in amazement.

"Really? Isn't this just the Eye of God? Do you think I can't tell the difference between the Eye of God and a celestial artifact?" Yun Xia looked at the Eye of God on Chen Luo's neck with disbelief.

“Uh, I’m not too familiar with your weapon classification system, but in terms of value alone, my Eye of God is indeed equivalent to an S-rank talent.” Chen Luo said, touching his Eye of Element.

In any case, according to Chen Luo's guess, a five-star item is roughly equivalent to the price of an S-level item.

That five-star item is equivalent to an S-rank talent, which isn't too far off. And the maximum rank for five-star items in the gacha pool seems to be SS-rank.

The Void Treasury that cost 15,000 crystals to upgrade is a five-star item, but it's probably an SS-level item.

“See? I told you it was a celestial artifact,” Liu Wenxuan said.

"And Luo Ge, you shouldn't just stay cooped up at home all the time. You should at least try to find out about things in our world. The weapon classification system currently used by our talented individuals is based on the Abyss Plane. For example, my five-star job certificate is equivalent to the talent of an A-level talented individual, so it's a five-star item. But items equivalent to six-star items are defined as immortal artifacts."

"Is it really a celestial artifact? A Luo, where did you get it? Why didn't you tell me?" Yun Xia looked at the Eye of God hanging around Chen Luo's neck with a blank expression.

Yunxia originally thought that Chen Luo had already told her all the secrets.

"I don't think this is something that needs to be brought up, is it?" Chen Luo said, pulling off his necklace and tossing the Eye of Element.

Chen Luo roughly understood that the Abyss's item grading seemed to be one level lower than what was certified by the talent panel, and the opponent's 6-star item was equivalent to a 1-star item in the gacha pool.

This way, Chen Luo knew exactly what Liu Wenxuan's 5-star professional certificate corresponded to: a 4-star professional certificate.

Chen Luo's puppeteer is a 6-star profession certificate from the Abyss Plane.

"This is a celestial artifact! What do you mean it's not worth mentioning? If I had a celestial artifact, I'd wear it right on my forehead," Yun Xia said irritably.

"Um, Brother Luo, can I know what this immortal artifact is for?" Liu Wenxuan asked hesitantly.

"Just ask, why are you so nervous? Well... uh, the function of a celestial artifact is that whenever it comes into contact with a different element, it can be collected into it, and then I can control that element."

"Is it that convenient?" Yun Lian'er suddenly became interested in this Eye of the Elements.

"Oh, I remember now, you wanted to borrow my cards back then to collect elemental attributes, didn't you?" Yunxia suddenly remembered something.

"That's right. There are now more than a dozen elemental forces in this Eye of Elements. Of course, I don't usually use this function of the immortal artifact, but rather the function that allows the other party to cultivate on its own."

"Every time the Eye of the Elements absorbs an element, it can double its self-cultivation speed. Now, even if I don't cultivate, the Eye of the Elements can automatically provide me with more than ten times the spiritual power I would have after cultivation, and I don't have to worry about any side effects."

"Moreover, this is also a great help when I travel to other worlds. Because the rules and magic of different worlds are more or less different, I need to use the Eye of the Elements to make adjustments." Chen Luo explained the ability of the Eye of the Elements.

"A cultivation speed ten times faster than idle training? Based on A-level or S-level talents?"

"Much stronger than an A-level talent, but a little weaker than an S-level talent," Chen Luo said after thinking for a moment.

"Wow, it truly lives up to its reputation as a celestial artifact! It's incredibly powerful. If I had something like this, I wouldn't need to cultivate spiritual power every day!" Su Yuan looked at the Eye of Elements in Chen Luo's hand with longing.

"Yes, you can borrow it to try it out."

"Really?" Su Yuan asked, somewhat surprised.

“The genuine Eye of the Elements in my hand is already bound, so I can’t lend it to you, but I can lend you this.” Chen Luo tossed the Eye of the Elements, which was transformed from the Void Treasury, to Su Yuan from his pocket.

The true Eye of the Elements is bound to Chen Luo and will only provide him with assistance, but the one transformed from the Void Treasury is not bound and can be used by anyone.

"Another immortal artifact? Two identical immortal artifacts?" Liu Wenxuan was astonished.

“No, that’s not the Eye of the Elements, that’s the Void Treasury,” Chen Luo interrupted.

Chen Luo took the Eye of God back from Su Yuan's hand and then transformed it back into its original form as Void Treasury.

“…” Looking at the vast emptiness, Liu Wenxuan fell into thought.

"What's wrong?" Chen Luo asked with concern, looking at Liu Wenxuan who was not speaking.

“This… doesn’t make sense. Why can’t I see the color of this Void Treasure? This thing can’t possibly be more precious than a celestial artifact, right?” Liu Wenxuan frowned.

Liu Wenxuan didn't understand at all.

As a blacksmith, Liu Wenxuan can distinguish the grade of a weapon by its color. For example, red indicates a celestial weapon, just like the Eye of the Elements.

However, when the Void Treasury originally transformed into the Eye of God, it appeared red in Liu Wenxuan's eyes, but after transforming back into the Void Treasury, it turned white.

"Uh, maybe it's because it's an item from another world, don't worry about it too much," Chen Luo quickly said.

The Void Treasury... is probably something even higher than a Celestial Artifact, since it can copy all items and weapons below the six-star level.

However, there's no need to elaborate on these points; explaining SS-level talents was already troublesome enough for Chen Luo.

"I see... So, Brother Luo, could you explain what an other world is? I just heard you mention another world." Liu Wenxuan asked after his brows relaxed a bit.

Liu Wenxuan has always valued protecting other people's privacy, but Chen Luo's unreserved use of the term "other world" shows that the other party had no intention of hiding it.

Upon hearing this, Meng Jie and Yun Lian'er turned their attention to it.

Yunxia and Su Yuan, those two fake besties who were fighting over the Void Treasury, didn't care about this, since they had already heard about it once.

"Although you haven't asked, I know you're all curious about what I've been doing while I've been holed up at home, especially after you found out I have an SS-level talent."

"My SS-rank talent is called Domination, which is a kind of support talent. Besides that, I also have a bar, a bar that can lead to another world."

"The 'other world' here doesn't refer to other planes, but truly to other worlds, such as Honkai Impact 3, the source of this Void Treasury, or Teyvat, the source of the Eye of God..."

As Chen Luo narrated, in this ward, which was known as one of the safest rooms in the world, a door slowly appeared without anyone noticing anything amiss.

"jingle!"

It wasn't until the wind chimes rang that people noticed the door being slowly pushed open.

Chen Luo pointed to the bar with great pride and said, "This is my bar, my..."

"Let me tell you, that Chen Luo is such a loser. He used to be so immature. He once said something in the lab..."

From within the slowly opening door, the voice of a young girl, pleasant to the ear, was heard, followed by several silvery laughs.

They seem to be having a very enjoyable discussion.

"Bang!" Chen Luo slammed the bar door shut with lightning speed.

"Xiao Yuan, Yun Xia, you two stop fooling around. You tell them about the bar, I need to take care of something." After calming down for a while and regaining his composure, Chen Luo said through gritted teeth with a dark face.

Clearly, there are now more important things to do than sharing some not-so-important secrets with Yun Lian'er and Liu Wenxuan!

After saying that, Chen Luo took out a revolver from his backpack, then picked up the gun and pushed open the bar door again.
