Their commission was suspicious.

As Chen Luo's mind wandered, he clicked on the gift.

"Bang!" After the fireworks exploded completely, Chen Luo could clearly see the specific appearance of the random ice-type item.

"This... I don't quite understand, what does this thing have to do with Kevin?" Chen Luo asked, looking completely bewildered, as he took a snow-white chess piece out of his backpack.

This thing is a bit too much of a random addition, isn't it?

But from a generally rational perspective, it doesn't seem to be a problem.

"Hmm... I wonder if Zhongli and Wendy are tired of the drinks they make with their own Heart of God. Would they like to try the drink made with the Heart of Ice God?"

"And I also don't know if the young master will like this drink."

"Is this considered purchasing goods?" Chen Luo didn't understand, but he was greatly shocked.

Congratulations to the bar for having another new cocktail.

Chen Luo always had the illusion that one day he might be able to collect all seven God Hearts.

"Speaking of which, did this Heart of God conjure up another Heart of God, or did it steal the Heart of God from the Ice God?" Chen Luo pondered as he looked at the chess piece.

Chapter 483 The Gensokyo World and the Moriya Shrine

Inside the bar, Chen Luo sat at the bar counter, with three chess pieces on the table.

Chen Luo doesn't play chess, so he doesn't know the specific differences between chess pieces and therefore can't explain what they represent in chess.

After all, Chen Luo never looks at what kind of chess piece it is when he plays; he just needs to go all out.

If Chen Luo's luck hadn't been so bad that he'd be killed by meteors every time he went out, then he would never have lost at chess.

If there are gods in this world, I am half a son better than them!

"Let me think. I now have three Hearts of Gods. Logically speaking, that should be the same as the Heart of Gods in the Ice God's possession... Oh no, I should have one more than her, because the Heart of Gods of Wind in her possession is fake."

"The next 3rd...4th God's Heart should be Thor's God's Heart... So when should we go and trick him in Inatsuma? If I remember correctly, Thor doesn't seem to be interested in his own God's Heart, but gave it to that scumbag fox named Yae no Miko, right?"

"I wonder what price they would offer for me to give them the Heart of God..." Chen Luo pondered.

Although Chen Luo didn't know what use the Heart of God-Breaking was besides soaking it in alcohol, he wanted whatever others wanted.

"Moreover, the executive officer of the Winter Kingdom was granted the authority of the Ice God by the Queen of the Winter Kingdom. So here's the question: can I, with the Heart of God, disguise myself as an executive officer of the Fools?" Chen Luo pondered, playing with the Heart of the Ice God.

Furniture mastery is truly godlike; after toying with the Ice God's Heart for just over ten minutes, the Ice God's Heart had already transformed into Chen Luo's shape.

"Hey, Little Eight, stop fooling around. If you keep this up, there won't be any fried tofu tonight." Chen Luo simply picked up the little fox that was biting his sleeve by the scruff of its neck and put it aside.

"You're like a husky among foxes, and you still won't accept it. If Cangxuan and Danzhu find out that you bit their black stockings like that, be careful... Okay, it seems like there's no big punishment, but I have to pay for the things you damaged." Chen Luo got angry just thinking about it.

This unlucky little fox actually brought someone else's freshly washed clothes to its face, but the other party's teeth were a bit sharp, and as a result, it bit through all the black stockings.

Yes, they are a pair.

Cangxuan and Danzhu are so close that they practically share the same pants.

Since they were all girls and not wearing pants, they were all wearing the same pair of black stockings, or more accurately, over-the-knee socks.

Perhaps to distinguish themselves in the eyes of others, one person wore the left side and the other wore the right side.

"Gurgle..." The little fox continued to nibble at Chen Luo's sleeve.

"What? You mean you're not angry about this? Oh, did you hear what that scumbag fox, Yae no Miko, said? Alright, Yae, give up. She's a fox spirit, we can't afford to associate with her. Besides, she's a female fox, and you're a female fox too." Chen Luo suddenly raised the little fox with both hands to confirm its gender again.

"Cuckoo!"

"Oh, you're shy now, using your tail to cover yourself. Honestly, why didn't you cover yourself when I was giving you a bath?"

"Alright, alright, I was wrong, I was wrong, please stop biting my hand." Seeing that the little fox seemed a bit embarrassed and angry, Chen Luo quickly apologized.

"Little Hachi, this time I'm taking you to Gensokyo, you must behave well. Whether you have a chance to transform into human form depends on these nine-tailed fox demons." Under Chen Luoai's caress, the little fox's fierce and menacing demeanor finally eased.

Just as Chen Luo said, he plans to take the little fox with him on this trip to Gensokyo.

This wasn't just a whim of Chen Luo's. According to Su Yuan, the little fox was the kind of fox that seemed to be born with the ability to cultivate into a spirit beast, but for some strange reason, it hadn't taken human form.

Perhaps she needs a cultivation technique, or perhaps she needs a special opportunity, but Su Yuan doesn't understand these things.

Not to mention that after the founding of the People's Republic of China, it was forbidden for beings to become spirits; in the 500 years after the founding of the PRC, very little of what was once there remained.

The sects and other such sects nowadays know very little about the cultivation of spirit beasts, which is equivalent to experiencing a huge cultural gap.

However, everyone has their own area of ​​expertise.

Since the main world is out of the question, Chen Luo can try to find a solution for the little fox in the Gensokyo world.

"I remember there were a lot of foxes in Gensokyo, like Yakumo Ran and Junko... emmm, is Junko a fox? I don't think so. But it's not a big deal, there aren't that many humans in Gensokyo anyway."

Wait a minute? Not human? Element detected!

Chen Luo felt that he might be able to do very well in Gensokyo.

After all, the "Non-human Friend" has always been quite effective.

In Gensokyo, almost none of the beings with even a little bit of fame are human.

"Hopefully, we can find a way to help you transform among those powerful demons. Speaking of which, I forgot about this when Yakumo Ran came before. Just as I remembered this, she stopped coming to the bar. Could it be that she's been being exploited by Yakumo Yukari all this time?"

Chen Luo didn't expect the little fox to transform into human form after just one trip to Gensokyo; he just wanted to give the little fox a direction to strive for.

Otherwise, Chen Luo would feel resentful if he were busy making money to support the family every day while the little fox stayed home destroying things and did nothing.

"Little Ba, when will we be able to have you take care of earning money to support the family, and I'll take care of being beautiful?" Chen Luo sighed.

"Waaaaah!"

"Alright, alright, this is indeed a bit difficult for you. So when will you be able to become a black-stockinged maid to repay your kindness? Hmm, never mind, I always feel that becoming a black-stockinged maid is not as good as a fox holding incense."

"Ding-a-ling!" Just when Chen Luo was so bored that he started talking to the fox, the doorbell of Chen Luo's bar finally, finally, finally, finally rang.

"Yukokumo Yukari, you finally came! Do you know how long I've been waiting?" Chen Luo breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the person who had come was indeed the one he was waiting for.

"Sorry, I just woke up," Yukari Yakumo said without any apology.

"Huh? It's already 12 o'clock! I've already finished lunch. Is your schedule this weird?" Chen Luoren was shocked.

"Huh? Lunch? What's that? Aren't there only two meals a day? Dinner and midnight snack." Yukari Yakumo asked with a puzzled look.

"..." Chen Luo fell silent.

"Alright, sleeping until I naturally wake up is one reason."

Chen Luo felt envious, but he didn't say anything.

Chen Luo hadn't experienced the pleasure of sleeping until he naturally woke up in a long time.

One reason is that Chen Luo has been getting busier and busier lately, and simply doesn't have time to sleep in until midnight.

Although he could squeeze out some time, Chen Luo didn't quite understand why he seemed to be idle every day and couldn't sleep in.

Where's the time?

Secondly, the stronger a person is, the less time they need to sleep. Chen Luo only needs 6 hours of sleep to get enough rest.

The key is that Chen Luo can put himself into a deep sleep state at any time, making him more efficient.

"Alright, enough with the chit-chat, let's hurry up and get to Gensokyo, I can't wait any longer," Chen Luo said excitedly.

"Why are you so agitated?" Yukari Yakumo asked suspiciously.

“What do you know? Unlike you, an outdated old woman, I’m quite interested in the existence of Gensokyo itself. Especially that Patchouli Norage,” she said to me.

"...!" Yakumo Yukari gripped her folding fan tightly in an instant.

"Oh, a washed-up old woman, is that it? Making comments about a 17-year-old beauty like that is going to make people angry." Yukari Yakumo's forehead veins bulged.

"Heh, a 17-year-old beauty? Others may not know your real age, but do you think I don't?" Chen Luo sneered.

"!!!" Upon hearing the string of numbers uttered by Chen Luo, Yukari Yakumo's eyes flashed with murderous intent.

This guy actually knows his real age? This kid is destined for greatness; he absolutely cannot be allowed to live!

"Humph."

Don't forget, when Chen Luo completed a mission related to Yakumo Yukari, he received a reward called "[Yakumo Yukari's True Age]".

Although Chen Luo felt that this thing was completely useless.

"Ahem, Patchouli, if I remember correctly, she's a mage from the Scarlet Devil Mansion. Why are you interested in her?" Realizing she was in a bar, Yukari Yakumo adjusted her breathing and changed the subject.

"To be precise, I'm not interested in her at all. I'm very interested in her identity as a Septian Magician. Because a friend of mine has an ability prototype based on her. Don't ask what an ability prototype is; it's due to the different rules of the world." Chen Luo cut off Yakumo Yukari's question.

The friend Chen Luo was referring to was naturally Yun Lian'er.

Whether it's the other party's witch constitution, the fact that their normally hidden hair turns purple when they unleash their full power, or their library and the direction of their ability development, it's obvious that they plagiarized Patchouli.

Ah, but it's not exactly plagiarism. It's just borrowing the concept. All gifted individuals are like that.

Just like the astrologer who inherited Mona's water divination skills, his talent was formed by drawing on the concepts of real-world astrology.

Therefore, theoretically speaking, Yun Lian'er's abilities are quite different from Patchouli's.

But Chen Luo was thinking that if he could get on good terms with Patchouli and borrow some books from her, and then let Yun Lian'er read them, he wondered if it might help her evolve a little.

Just as Chen Luo stripped 99% of the ability to sense presence from Kato Megumi and then gave it to Xiao Ke'er, resulting in a partial enhancement of the latter's ability, perhaps it is indeed helpful for the talented individual to communicate with the prototype.

As for why no one has ever discovered this?

LOL, to discover this, someone would first need to be able to travel between worlds.

"Yun Lian'er's ability is based on Patchouli Knowledge, and Yun Xia's is Sakura from Magical Girl Sakura. But what about Liu Wenxuan's and Su Yuan's?" Chen Luo pondered.

"Alright, since you're unwilling to explain further, let's get going." Yukari Yakumo was quite displeased with Chen Luo's evasive attitude, but everyone has secrets, which is normal.

However, when this secret involved the concept of different worlds, it piqued Yakumo Yukari's curiosity.

"Okay!" Chen Luo nodded, then flipped over the bar counter and picked up the little fox.

"You're taking this fox with you?"

"Yeah, and by the way, I can learn from those great demons who have experience with human transformation, how to turn my little fox into a black-stockinged maid to repay my kindness. By the way, Yukari Yakumo, you've also raised foxes, how did you train Ran?" Chen Luo asked as he followed Yukari Yakumo out of the door.

"Me? Well, this kind of thing can't be taught, it can only be understood. The Tao that can be told is not the eternal Tao, the name that can be named is not the eternal name."

"I see, she's just lazy. She never gets involved in anything, so she lets the other party develop on their own, right?" Chen Luo instantly saw through Yakumo Yukari's hidden meaning.

"Nonsense, how can you call it laziness when it comes to shikigami? It's called letting nature take its course."

"Ugh! What a lousy place this is!" Chen Luo's body trembled instantly as he stepped out of the bar.

"Why is the spiritual energy in this desolate place so thin?" Chen Luo said after looking around.

Chen Luo was in a desolate wilderness, and it seemed to be on a mountain. Looking down from the top of the mountain, all he could see was a lush green forest, and looking back, he could see a dilapidated shrine.

"Is this...the outside of Gensokyo?" Chen Luo couldn't help but guess as he looked at the scenery.

"Congratulations, you guessed right." Yukari Yakumo snapped her fingers.

“Didn’t you say you wanted to gather information about this world first? So I’m taking you to the outside world now. After you’ve gathered the information and finished your business in this world, we’ll have a proper get-together. Let me treat you well. After all, you’ve been so kind to me for so long, so I should give you something in return,” Yukari Yakumo said with a smile.

Yukari Yakumo appears extremely sincere now.

But... Chen Luo wasn't sure if he had told the other party that he was a Herald of Knowledge.

The other party's malice was practically overflowing.

It's not that the other party wanted to kill me, but they definitely wanted to beat me up.

Never mind.

"Logically speaking, the spiritual energy should be more abundant in the deep mountains and forests. I didn't expect the situation in this world to have deteriorated to this extent. The spiritual energy is so thin even in the deep mountains. The monsters must be having a hard time, right?" Chen Luo said, sensing the concentration of spiritual energy in this world.

"It's certainly not easy, but what does that have to do with me? I once invited those youkai who still live in the outside world to Gensokyo. Now you regret it? Too late." Yukari Yakumo sneered.

In Gensokyo, while the youkai are not entirely free, they are not as wretched as they are in the outside world.

"Oh, right, since you're here too, why don't you come with me to visit an old friend?" Yakumo Yukari said casually.

"...I suspect you're trying to use me as a tool, and I have evidence."

Chen Luo instantly understood why Yakumo Yukari had sent him to this world today.

It's like a weasel paying New Year's greetings to a chicken.

Although it's uncertain what Yukari Yakumo is planning, she's definitely not up to anything good.
