Their commission was suspicious.

However, it's good to take a break now and then, like when I spent three hours in the afternoon.

But this made Chen Luo even more determined to give up.

Slacking off really makes things worse the more you do it.

"Sigh, Luo, life is short, you should enjoy it while you can," Wendy said, patting Chen Luo on the shoulder.

"Ah, indeed." Chen Luo couldn't find a rebuttal to Wendy for a moment.

Although Venti has always been a bit of a slacker, there's no doubt that he's managed Mondstadt very well.

"So let's have a drink."

"I think you're the one who wants a drink, right? Trying to trick me into giving you one? Fine, Raven, give him a glass of divine wine."

"Hehe." Wendy smiled sheepishly.

"Sigh, what a boring bar life. Can't we have a little excitement?" Chen Luo muttered to himself, boredly leaning on the bar counter.

"Okay, let's open the rewards. I've accumulated another 9 random rewards." After sighing, Chen Luo looked at the random reward storage backpack.

Random rewards can sometimes be an excellent way to improve your strength.

These random rewards can sometimes be incredibly powerful, and sometimes incredibly devastating.

[Ding! Gained the active ability (Instant Familiarity)]

As Chen Luo clicked on the first random reward, the item he had drawn was displayed in front of him.

"What the heck? Instant familiarity, doesn't sound that impressive." Chen Luo muttered to himself as he read the skill description.

【Instant Familiarity】: Instant familiarity, love at first sight. Sometimes fate is just so wonderful. It feels like meeting an old friend for the first time.

We hit it off immediately, and it's only right that you become my friend.

This active ability has two different effects; please explore them carefully after the introduction.

Effect 1: Forcibly adding the other person to your friend list and increasing the discount to 30% will not change the other person's favorability, and may even decrease it. Furthermore, it is extremely difficult to further reduce the discount by fixing it in this way.

Effect 2: Forcefully add the other person to your friend list and increase their discount using affinity fragments, up to 70%. After using this method, the other person's affinity and discount will proceed normally.

(Note: Affection shards can be obtained by using excess affection points.)

"What... what's the use of this ability...?" Chen Luo looked at the skill with a bit of confusion.

"Well, if it's used to buy the other party's abilities or to deal with them, this ability is quite useful."

Sometimes this ability can indeed be effective. For example, if Chen Luo encounters a villain whose ability is extremely tempting, he can use the "love at first sight" ability to fix the villain's discount to 7%.

This situation can be divided into two types: one is that you don't plan to be friends with the other person in the future, so you want to kill them.

Then you can use the first option: turn the other person into your friend, buy their abilities, and then kill them.

If the other party is not completely bad, but just has a different stance, then you can use effect two: increase the other party's favorability through favorability fragments, thereby increasing the discount.

In Chen Luo's view, the second effect is more like increasing the other party's favorability by completing tasks.

And that fragment of favorability...

"Wow, I already have 132 favorability points!" Chen Luo exclaimed in surprise after glancing at the favorability fragments he possessed.

Because he was familiar with the plot in advance, Chen Luo was often able to take on the right tasks and accept the right ones. And for those tasks that were extremely important to the person involved, they were often accompanied by the other party's goodwill.

However, the most frustrating situation Chen Luo encountered was that even though there were favorability rewards, these favorability points overflowed.

This is very uncomfortable.

But now these overflowing favor points have a use.

"Finally, a problem that's been weighing on my mind has been resolved. These overflowing goodwill points are finally going to be useful." Chen Luo breathed a sigh of relief.

For Chen Luo, who is extremely stingy, watching his favorability rating overflow every day while being powerless to do anything about it is truly painful, especially since Otto directly provided Chen Luo with an overflow of 52 favorability points.

All I can say is that Otto's love for Karen runs deep.

All tasks related to Otto's favorability will inevitably involve Kallen.

"Furthermore, this ability might be used in conjunction with the Summoning Spirit. The condition for using the Summoning Spirit is that the discount must be at least 8% to summon the target, which means that I might be able to use clones of those villains to fight those villains in the future?"

"Although a 30% discount is definitely not full power, since it's something I summoned myself, it's definitely a summon. With my puppeteer's support abilities, if I stack all the buffs on it, maybe I can really make it fight my main body to a 50/50."

"Hiss, this is terrifying!"

[Ding! Item obtained (Friend's Book)]

[Friend's Note]: As good friends, no matter how far away you are, I will always think of you.

A notebook recording the names of my friends.

Effect: All friends who offer discounts of more than 8% will be recorded in the Friend Book. You can use this book to instantly find their location, understand their thoughts, and see what they have done (ignoring distance and differences in the world).

After tearing off the other person's name from the journal, you can immediately summon their true form to your side.

After tearing off someone's name, it takes a day to rewrite it in the friend list. The higher the discount, the shorter the time required to rewrite it.

(Cannot be used across the world, except in bars)

"..." Chen Luo glanced at the notebook that had suddenly appeared in his hand, and then at the active skill he had just acquired, [Instant Familiarity].

Fellow Daoist, although we have only known each other for a short time, we have felt an instant connection. And now you are leaving...

Screw you, come back here!

"These two are a perfect match. First, use 'Instant Familiarity' to turn the other person into your friend, then tear off their name and summon them to your side, and finally use 'War Domain' to pull them into the War Domain."

"Next, open a bar within the war zone, and through the bar's connection to other worlds, summon all your [friends] to beat people up."

Such a smooth combo is terrifying.

“Nata, we hit it off immediately… Never mind, it’s alright.” Chen Luogang said to the raven next to him, only to find that the other party’s discount was less than 7%.

That's alright then.

"Huh? What's gotten into you all of a sudden?" Raven gave Chen Luo a strange look.

"It's really nothing."

[Ding! Gained passive ability (Friendship-Breaking Fist)]

[Friendship-Breaking Fist]: Our friendship is as deep as the sea, like brothers. But now you've gone astray, so don't blame me for using dirty tricks! I'll beat you to death today and bring you back to the right path.

Effect: The higher the discount level of the other party in your friend list, the more damage you will cause to them, and the less damage they will cause to you.

"...To be honest, being my friend is really unlucky." Chen Luo looked at the three-piece set and struggled for a long time before finally managing to utter this sentence.

I received three random rewards, and all three were related to friendship.

The third reward has a simple yet brutal effect.

You treat me like a brother, but I'll strike back hard.

Becoming friends with Chen Luo is the worst luck imaginable.

In the past, using the Friendship Revolver would at most end a friendship, but now it directly drains your friends.

[Ding! Special ability (Friend) has been obtained]

[Friends]: The three essential items in Cthulhu role-playing games are the crowbar, the Old Mark, and friends. Friends are the most crucial element. In certain situations, you will find it difficult to progress without friends.

Effect ①: You can transfer some of your injuries, costs, or curses to your friends. The smaller the discount number between you and your friend, the higher the maximum number of injuries, costs, or curses that can be transferred.

(Special requirement: The discount amount must be more than 8% off)

Effect 2: Insufficient conditions, unable to watch.

Effect 3: Insufficient conditions, unable to watch.

"???"

"What do you mean by a cursed lone star? This is what a cursed lone star looks like! Shen He's so-called Lone Star and Calamity Fate is nothing!"

"I'll say it again, being my friend is absolutely terrible!"

"No, I need to find some friends to go with." Chen Luo was now somewhat troubled.

Now, apart from the one who got a discount of up to 11%, all of Chen Luo's friends are his real friends.

The kind of person who's too shy to make a move.

It seems that Chen Luo really needs to find a few scapegoats.

Who should I contact?

I don't really have any people I'm too opposed to, do I?

[Friendship Revolver], [Instant Familiarity], [Book of Friends], [Friendship Face-Breaking Punch], [Friends]

"Is there some misunderstanding about the word 'friend' in this random reward system?"

Chen Luo was utterly baffled.

"Come on, if you're so capable, give me another random reward related to friends and friendship!"

Chen Luo, somewhat skeptical, activated the next random reward.

[Ding! Acquired the curse skill (Intimate Friend)]

[A friendship forged through playful kicks]: True friendship is one that involves playfully kicking each other's butts!

Effect: You can teleport behind or to the side of your friend without any reason and kick your friend's butt once.

(This attack is a special attack that is guaranteed to hit and cannot be dodged, and it also has a teleportation effect.)

(The friend must be in your friend list and the discount must be less than 8%)

(This attack is not very harmful, but it is extremely insulting. Use with caution!!!)

"..."

"I'll say it three times: being my friend is the worst thing that ever happened to me."

"I think I might be having a bad day with friends."

Chen Luo was confused as to why all the items he received from his random rewards were related to his friends. Did his friends destroy the galaxy in their past lives?

"Please, please, no more friends, really," Chen Luo prayed, clasping his hands together.

[Ding! You have obtained an item (Truth or Dare)]

【Truth or Dare】: Truth or Dare is a party game, the best game for leisure and entertainment when traveling, and it is extremely suitable for playing with friends.

Effect: The selection method can be chosen by the user. After selection, the selected party chooses either Truth or Dare.

If you choose Truth, the winner can ask the loser any question, and the loser must answer truthfully. If you choose Dare, the winner can pose any behavioral question, which the loser must answer truthfully.

(It should be noted that this game is mandatory. Those who violate the rules will be punished.)

"...I have very few friends, and they really can't afford to be treated like this."

Although this game does look somewhat normal, once you see the forced execution button below, you know that this thing is definitely not good.

If you really try to play with your friends, you might end up fighting.

Chen Luo already has few friends. If he were to play this game with those people, wouldn't all of his already few friends be ruined?

"Oh my god, please, please stop giving out random rewards from my friends, okay? I've almost used up all my friends."

Chen Luo suspected that if things continued like this, he would really have no friends left.

[Ding! Skill acquired (Oh right, right)]

[Ah yes, yes, yes]: Ah yes, yes, yes, a demon's curse, it's very serious. Ah yes, yes, yes, cover yourself with a blanket under the bridge.

Effect: Provocation.

When you say "Ah, yes, yes, yes," the other person will be instantly enraged and will relentlessly pursue you until their anger subsides.

(Note: This effect can be transferred through [Friends].)

"Slap!" Chen Luo slapped himself across the face.

"Damn, that's amazing."

Seven! A total of seven random rewards, and not a single one of them is related to friends.

Are all my friends really cursed loners?

"Hey, Nata, what do you think of me?" After covering his face for a while, Chen Luo finally calmed down and turned to ask Raven next to him.
