Their commission was suspicious.

Chen Luo and Accelerator had a good talk a couple of days ago about the Friendship Revolver.

Accelerator, a firsthand witness, recounted the psychological trauma left on him by the Friendship Revolver. At the same time, Chen Luo also provided him with psychological therapy, making him realize that the Friendship Revolver was not actually a powerful weapon, but merely a gun that brought him smiles.

"Hahaha, Chen Luo, hahaha, your broken revolver, hahaha, what kind of gun brings smiles? Hahaha, it's just a torture device!" As Chen Luo fired his fourth shot, Yakumo Yukari crawled out of the gap, laughing as she came out, creating a slightly terrifying scene.

"Holy crap, what kind of comedic version of Sadako is this?" Chen Luo was startled when he saw Yakumo Yukari's outfit.

"Hahaha, Chen Luo! You...hahaha, how dare you say that!"

"Um, Yukari Yakumo, please don't speak yet, it's scary, okay? Can you just shut up for a bit?"

"Chen Luo! Hahaha, damn it! Hahaha! Chen Luo..."

The scene was a little scary, but Chen Luo wasn't afraid; in fact, he felt like laughing.

ten minutes later……

"Ha...ha...I can't take it anymore. Chen Luo, if you dare point this damn gun at me again, I'll fight you to the death, you believe me?" Yukari Yakumo, who was lying on the ground, turned her head to look at Chen Luo and said fiercely.

"I don't believe it." Chen Luo shook his head.

"And to be fair, you broke your promise first, didn't you?" Chen Luo tilted his head.

"Why...why did you shoot so fast? Couldn't you have asked Ran to notify me first? I was sleeping in the gap. If you had notified me, I would have come out. Why did you shoot?" Yukari Yakumo accused first.

"..." Yakumo Ran remained silent.

Seriously? You can blame me for this? Why didn't I notify you? Why didn't you come out of the gap? Don't you have any self-awareness?

"Yes, it's all my fault." But despite her inner complaints, Yakumo Ran still had to admit her mistakes on the surface.

Who made Yakumo Yukari the master?

"Look, look!" Yakumo Yukari quickly pointed at Yakumo Ran and said.

"Yes, yes, I saw it. So what? And next time if I call you and you don't come out within a minute, you'll get shot." Chen Luo said with a sinister smile.

"You...you're being unreasonable!"

"That's right, I'm just being unreasonable. Go ahead and hit me if you dare!" Chen Luo gave Yakumo Yukari the middle finger.

They're all old foxes, why are they playing these ghost stories?

"Tch." Yakumo Yukari looked at Chen Luo's increasingly irritating expression and was about to punch him when she saw that he had already disappeared into another dimension.

"Alright, I was just kidding. We're like brothers, we've been through thick and thin together," Chen Luo waved his hand and said.

"Whose life?"

“Of course it’s my life. Alright, now that I’ve met you, it’s time to fulfill the contract. I won’t ask for more, just three near-death experiences will be enough,” Chen Luo said.

"Honestly, I've never seen anyone as strange as you. Others are afraid of the realm of life and death, but you just have to come up with it." Yakumo Yukari sighed as she looked at Chen Luo.

"Between life and death lies both great terror and great enlightenment. Although the boundary between life and death is indeed unsettling, it's enough to break through it. I guess I've found a shortcut."

A shortcut that only Chen Luo can use.

Of course, Kaguya Houraisan would probably work too! However, Kaguya Houraisan has died so many times that the boundary between life and death shouldn't have much of an impact on her.

Of course, it's also possible that the boundary between life and death has no effect on Kaguya of Houraisan.

The people of Penglai seem to have no concept of death, which is why they are immortal.

Chen Luo took the Ghost Shark out of his backpack.

This is why Chen Luo dared to accept Yakumo Yukari's life and death realm.

Each time Chen Luo dies, he gains 15 seconds of invincibility, which he can use to experience the strange feeling of being on the verge of death, between life and death.

If Chen Luo doesn't receive treatment within 15 seconds, he might really die.

Zero health, but still alive? That feels incredibly exciting.

Of course, one of the more important points is that the Tree of Imaginary Numbers and the Sea of ​​Quanta are needed to remove the forbidden power of the realm of life and death from Chen Luo's body.

Otherwise, if this power continues to linger within Chen Luo's body, it will cause him ongoing damage.

"Alright, I'm ready. Come on, go easy on me." After gripping the chainsaw, Chen Luo simply lay down on the ground as if giving up.

"Don't say things that are so easy to misunderstand." Yakumo Yukari glanced at Chen Luo and then gently touched Chen Luo's brow with her finger.

A strange, deathly power instantly flowed into Chen Luo's body through Yakumo Yukari's fingers.

As this force spread throughout Chen Luo's body, it reduced his life force to the minimum. Just as he was about to die, it seemed to have triggered some kind of safety device and was instantly stopped.

At that moment, Yukari Yakumo, who was staring intently at the chainsaw, saw that the chainsaw was also emitting light.

However, the black light flashed by so quickly that it might be mistaken for an illusion if one didn't look closely.

As the weapon's effects were activated, Chen Luo's aura surged instantly. After unleashing the power of life and death, Chen Luo's strength increased rather than decreased.

"What an enviable weapon," said Yakumo Yukari, looking at the chainsaw in Chen Luo's hand.

Of course, what Yakumo Yukari envied even more was Chen Luo's friendship with Soren.

At the same time, within Chen Luo's sea of ​​consciousness, the Herald of Consciousness, who was slowly floating on the small boat, sensed that an alien species was eroding his sea of ​​consciousness.

After glancing up, the Herald of Knowledge knew what that power was and didn't concern himself with it anymore.

Chen Luo had discussed this matter with the Herald of Knowledge beforehand, so the Herald of Knowledge was not surprised.

In any case, this force can be naturally expelled by the combined power of the Tree of Imaginary Numbers and the Sea of ​​Quanta, without the Law of Knowledge needing to take action, and the Law of Knowledge has no way to do so either.

However, to the Herrscher of Knowledge's surprise, the scenario that the Imaginary Tree and the Sea of ​​Quanta had expected—that they would join forces to drive out that power—did not occur.

Instead, the Tree of Imaginary Numbers and the Sea of ​​Quanta clashed violently, causing the Sea of ​​Quanta to churn. If it weren't for the small boat, the Law of Knowledge might have sunk to the bottom in the turbulent waves.

"Huh? Wait? What did I just see?" The Herrscher of Consciousness, who was lying comfortably on the bed, watched as the power was torn in two and then devoured by the Imaginary Tree and the Sea of ​​Quanta.

"Eat? These two have improved their appetites so much after their small evolution?" The Herrscher of Knowledge was dumbfounded.

Meanwhile, 15 seconds passed in the blink of an eye. Chen Luo stuffed a tricolor dumpling into his mouth and turned to Yakumo Yukari.

"Wait two minutes, then I'll come back!"

Seeing Chen Luo's still unsatisfied expression, Yakumo Yukari showed an expression of being completely drained.

Why do you think Yakumo Yukari didn't want to give Chen Luo the realm of life and death?

Because this thing takes too much effort.

......

Two minutes later, Chen Luo, who had just woken up from a sit-up and was stuffing a tricolor dumpling into his mouth, looked at Yakumo Yukari, who was eager to try, and quickly said.

"Stop, no need, I'm fine now."

Looking at his skill list, which was filled with master-level skills representing puppeteers, Chen Luo drooled with emotion.

The three-colored dumplings are so delicious.

[Puppeteer] - Master Level

Achieved!

"This really is true; there's always a way out," Chen Luo remarked.

Chapter 518 Ke Qing? Why are you angry, Ke Qing?

"The so-called 'Heaven never seals off all paths' means that Heaven will not push people to the brink of despair. It describes how people can always find a way out when they are in dire straits. So the question is, what path could be more desperate than being on the verge of death?" Chen Luo asked the Herrscher of Knowledge sitting opposite him in the bar.

"Hmm, you were caught by your parents while reading the notebook, and there was a whole bunch of relatives behind them?" The Herrscher of Knowledge tentatively suggested a possibility.

“That’s called social death. Although it can also be called a dead end in a certain sense, the two are not quite the same.” Chen Luo didn’t think there was anything wrong with this answer for the time being, nor could he find anything wrong with it.

And who knows, this might actually be the catalyst for a miraculous recovery.

After all, death is still death.

Moreover, even if I am shattered to pieces, I will not be afraid...

“What’s more devastating than being on the verge of death is being on the verge of death multiple times, and that person often does reckless things. In short, death is the most desperate path for a person, without exception. So it’s not death that brings me inspiration, but rather the predicament that accompanies death when facing a dead end that makes ‘There’s always a way out’ come into play, stimulating my inspiration and allowing me to break through my skill, which has already reached the peak of mastery.” Chen Luo shook his head and said.

"So in a sense, you don't necessarily need to rely on Yakumo Yukari's realm power to enter that special state?" the Herrscher of Knowledge asked.

“Yes, but the power of realms is undoubtedly the most convenient, because it won’t cause real-world injuries, and it also allows the three-colored dumpling to take effect. However, the only thing that’s a bit of a pain is that, perhaps because of the Tree of Imaginary Numbers and the Sea of ​​Quanta, I seem to have some realm patience now.” Chen Luo sighed.

After hearing the description from the Herald of Knowledge, Chen Luo roughly understood what had happened inside his body.

After being elevated by the true Imaginary Tree and the Sea of ​​Quanta, these two special landscapes in Chen Luo's sea of ​​consciousness undoubtedly underwent some unknown evolution, including a special inclusiveness, or rather, a devouring ability.

She can eat a couple of bites of anything that comes in; her appetite is terrifyingly good.

"So, sooner or later, Yukari Yakumo's boundary between life and death will become ineffective against you?"

"I'm not sure, but at least if Yukari Yakumo wants to put me in that near-death state, she'll need to use more force. Sooner or later, I'll develop the stamina to exceed what she can muster," Chen Luo said after thinking for a moment.

"So your puppeteer skills have reached the master level?"

"Yes." Chen Luo nodded, looking at the wooden puppet he was carving in his hands.

After saying that, Chen Luo casually threw the puppet in his hand, and the puppet instantly expanded, transforming from a puppet that was not much bigger than the palm of his hand into a puppet similar in size to an adult.

"That's quite amazing. What kind of materials are needed to make this kind of doll?"

"The material used to make these dolls is ordinary wood, but when carving them, the ability to infuse them with spirit, magic or spiritual power, can make them maintain this form for a period of time. The length of time depends on the magic or spiritual power injected."

"The puppets in front of us are the most ordinary melee puppets. They have no ranged attack methods and can only use the spiritual or magical power stored in their bodies to attack. However, when I made these puppets, I could inscribe some of my melee skills into their cores."

This kind of doll was found in the booklet that Chen Luo received when he obtained his professional license after his puppeteer skills broke through to the master level.

The Puppeteer's Code is not just a booklet recording common knowledge about puppeteers; it also records a considerable number of puppeteer's secret techniques.

However, Chen Luo hadn't broken through to the master level before, so it was impossible for him to make such things. Therefore, the previous puppeteer's manuals only mentioned these puppets but didn't record the methods of making them. Now that Chen Luo has reached the standard, the later content has been gradually released.

That booklet alone is priceless.

"Melee skills? Will she use the Void Sword God?" Upon hearing Chen Luo's words, the Herrscher of Knowledge instantly became interested.

“The Void Sword God... from a generally rational point of view, it is possible, but the power within her body is insufficient. She cannot even sustain the Void Sword God once. The Void Sword Technique can be used, since I provided her with Honkai energy. This can probably be considered an artificial Valkyrie, right?”

From a purely rational perspective, the Taixu Sword God skill can be considered a melee skill.

"So that's why you made it look like Durandal?"

"Hey, it was just a coincidence. Besides, when it comes to Valkyries, isn't the first one that comes to mind Durandal, the strongest Valkyrie in Schicksal? The others are all outdated." Chen Luo waved his hand.

"I'm not happy with what you're saying. Are you looking down on me, the Herald of Knowledge?" the Herald of Knowledge said, slamming his hand on the table.

"No, it's not that I look down on you, it's just that after I made your doll, I was worried you would smash it." Chen Luo told the truth.

"Aren't you afraid that Durandal will ruin this character?"

"Don't worry, because Durandal will never see this person." Chen Luo said, beckoning to the doll.

The Durandal doll, now in the form of a normal adult, turned its eyes slightly and looked at Chen Luo. After confirming the command, it transformed back into a puppet and fell into Chen Luo's hands.

"Now that your puppeteer skills have reached the master level, shouldn't you also deal with Yvette?"

"This definitely needs to be dealt with. However, after I became a master-level puppeteer, I realized that dealing with an S-rank talent is not as simple as I imagined. In fact, some of my previous methods were completely wrong. Fortunately, time is frozen in the backpack, so the impact is not significant," Chen Luo said.

That's why Chen Luo so deeply resents things that are gradually breaking the seal.

It would have been so much better if you had brought all these things out from the beginning. With my expertise in furniture, even if I couldn't master them, I could still learn how.

Because of his expertise in furniture making, Chen Luo mastered all the master-level skills in just one afternoon of practice and was able to create master-level dolls.

Furniture mastery is a significant advantage when learning knowledge recorded in books, as it directly elevates the skills described in the book to the mastery level.

This essentially allowed Chen Luo to instantly master these master-level skills.

The term "proficiency" here does not refer to skill level, but rather to the degree of familiarity with the skill.

Regardless of whether the skill level is master, grandmaster, or superb, it can still be mastered simply by saying so.

Furniture connoisseur is forever a god!

“Speaking of Yvette, the potion I concocted should be ready soon. I’ll go to the third floor first. Could you attend to the guests for me?” Chen Luo said to the Herrscher of Knowledge.

Raven took the day off today. The reason was not mentioned by the other party, and Chen Luo did not ask.

Who knows if he went to earn some extra money?

"Huh? Entertaining guests? I don't know how." The Herrscher of Knowledge panicked for a moment.
