Their commission was suspicious.

"Emmm...it's something that can only be understood intuitively, not explained in words." The Herald of Knowledge shook his head and didn't say anything more.

How could you possibly say something like that?

On another note, has Chen Luo forgotten that he has already deactivated his invincible state in the bar?

After all, Chen Luo was going to take action against Old Bug and Xiao Ying.

Therefore, the invincibility state must be lifted.

Once the invincibility ends...

This means that others can use their abilities to observe Chen Luo.

For example, the "Knowledge of the Law" ability of the Knowledge Lawyer.

Because Chen Luo also possesses the abilities of the Herald of Knowledge and the Heart Demon, the Herald of Knowledge can always easily achieve emotional resonance with Chen Luo.

Especially when Chen Luo was thinking outside the box, and when the Law of Consciousness was not in Chen Luo's sea of ​​consciousness.

"Can you stop smiling so weirdly? Be normal." Chen Luo panicked a little when he saw the Herrscher of Knowledge's somewhat pleased smile.

What exactly went wrong?

"I'm perfectly normal." The Herrscher of Knowledge tilted her head, trying to get away with it by being cute.

"Um, let's change the subject. Let's discuss the Moon World." Sensing the strange atmosphere spreading, Chen Luo quickly said to everyone.

Let's put our words on the table and talk about it. What does it mean if I'm the only one who doesn't know?

"Ahem, speaking of the Moon World, I just remembered, the Moon World actually has puppeteers too, did you know that?"

“We don’t know, and we’re not interested either,” Yvette shook her head.

"..." Chen Luo stared at the other person after seeing them speak.

"Okay, I'm interested."

Poverty and lowliness cannot sway one, nor can power and force subdue one; these principles cannot be applied to puppets.

"Since you're interested, I'll tell you about it..." Chen Luo began to talk about the Grand Puppeteer with a benevolent expression.

Let me tell you, sometimes dolls are just so useful.

Moreover, Chen Luo's words were indeed useful, because most of the people present did not know much about the Moon World and were quite curious. Although the profession of Grand Puppeteer was not very relevant to them, the concepts of the Mage's Association and Magicians derived from it, as well as how to enter the Root, made everyone listen with great interest.

Except for those who understand the laws.

Those who understand the laws of nature are more interested in Chen Luo's hypocrisy.

However, after being pointed at by the gun of the Friendship Revolver for 5 seconds, the Herrscher of Knowledge immediately put on the appearance of a good student.

The revolver of friendship is a pain that will never fade.

"...Although the existence of Grand Puppet Masters has indeed reached its limit in this world, their path is still quite different from that of the Puppet Masters I have taken."

The Grand rank here is somewhat similar to, but not exactly the same as, the Grand rank of Grand Servants. Here, Grand rank refers to the highest rank among Mages—Grand Rank.

That is, grand.

In the modern world of the Moon, there is indeed a Grand Doll named Aozaki Touko.

However, the closer the lunar world gets to modern times, the more its mystery dissipates.

Although the Grand Puppeteer still has a high enough prestige, it can't compare to the pinnacle of the Age of Gods Magicians.

However, he is still a Grand Doll Maker after all, so he should know a lot.

The knowledge the other party possesses should be able to provide Chen Luo with a lot of inspiration.

Of course, the most important thing is the concept Craft Essence 【Grand Puppeteer】.

Although the effect of this concept costume in the game is not particularly outstanding, it might be modified, just like the Stigmata Puppet Master.

Who knows, she might be a perfect match for Chen Luo.

For example, directly increasing your puppet's health by 100%...

"Sigh, if conditions allowed, I really want to become a Grand Puppeteer," Chen Luo sighed.

[Identity application in progress...]

"Hmm, what notification sound?"

"Holy crap, wait, stop..." Chen Luo shouted almost instantly.

[Ding! Identity application successful]

This time, the identity application process was unusually fast.

[Generifying identity application task]

1000 Primogems have been deducted.

"Damn it, you tricked me!" Chen Luo was dumbfounded.

Chen Luo's mention of "Grand Puppeteer" refers to a concept costume, not that he wants to become a Grand Puppeteer.

Chen Luo snatched the household registration book from the hand of the Herrscher of Knowledge, who was slacking off out of boredom, and wanted to tear it up.

This thing should just be left to gather dust in the warehouse when it's not in use.

The intelligent system is absolutely terrible.

Moreover, it can be activated even when it's not in one's own hands.

Moreover, Chen Luo felt...

"While applying for the status of a Grand Puppeteer isn't impossible, I have a feeling I've been tricked by someone in charge of approving applications," Chen Luo said unhappily.

"And why should 1000 Primogems be deducted? This Grand Puppeteer is priced the same as the Honkai Consciousness, who can tolerate this?" This is what Chen Luo doesn't understand the most.

Grand Puppeteer, what makes you so special?

Chapter 557 The [Reality] and [Falsehood] of the Collapsed Consciousness

Chen Luo could tolerate spending 1000 Primogems to apply for the identity of a Honkai Consciousness, since obtaining the identity of a Honkai Consciousness might allow him to obtain a lot of Herrscher powers for free. But how dare you, a Grand Puppeteer, spend 1000 Primogems?

Do you deserve it?

Let alone Grand Puppeteers, even Counter Force... uh, never mind, I can't give examples of that, and I don't know who's really valuable.

In short, what right does the Grand Doll Master have?

"You can cheat me all you want, but you can't cheat me out of my raw stones!" Chen Luo roared in fury.

[The reason for applying for the first identity is due to personal characteristics (Herrscher), closeness to the world (Honkai energy adaptability 200%), first-time application discount (10% off), etc., for a total discount of 0.5%.]

[Subsequent identity applications have returned to normal]

"What... Ah, what did you say? The original price for applying for a Honkai Consciousness identity was 2 Primogems?!"

The "Honkai Consciousness" applied for in this identity mission is the true "Honkai Consciousness" that governs the Honkai energy of this real world, the unifier of all Honkai energy and Honkai phenomena in this world. Honkai, as a phenomenon for selecting civilizations, will make one the dominant force in this mechanism upon successful identity application. Therefore, it is worthwhile.

"Oh, then it's alright." Chen Luo immediately stopped his rage.

Ah, I see. That makes perfect sense.

From a purely rational perspective, Honkai consciousness can create Herrschers (a small consciousness arises within Fu Hua's body), and the price of a Herrscher itself is at least 1 Primogems. So why is Honkai consciousness itself only worth 1000 Primogems?

But what exactly is "Honkai consciousness"?

Is there still a false Honkai consciousness?

This description feels a bit off... Could there be some hidden trap here?

"I was actually thinking of applying to become the Root, since the maximum loss would be 1000 Primogems, maybe double or even several times more, which I could afford. But..."

[I have already applied for an identity task; I cannot obtain a new identity task until it is completed.]

Before Chen Luo could finish speaking, a notification sound popped up, smothering him in surprise.

“…WTF! You actually applied for me to become the Root?” Looking at the seemingly ordinary household registration book in his hand, Chen Luo threw it directly into the depths of the warehouse.

Go to hell!

How do I turn on smart mode on this piece of junk?

Sooner or later, this piece of junk will bankrupt them!

"Applying to become the Root costs me at least 2 Primogems? I can't afford that!"

Although you can get these raw stones back after completing the task, and even get an extra share as a reward, who knows how difficult this task is?

If you think about it carefully, if Chen Luo weren't the traveler who caused trouble everywhere, how desperate would it be if Chen Luo tried to stop a traveler with the exact same abilities as himself?

They can't be killed by fighting, they can't be caught, they can travel all over the world to get reinforcements, and they even have countless angel self-destruct vehicles.

What kind of world parasites are these?

Oh, what? I'm that world parasite? Oh well, never mind then.

It can't be called a "world parasite," but if you replace someone else with Chen Luo's abilities, the limits they might reach could indeed be considered a "world parasite."

But Chen Luo didn't develop in that direction. Chen Luo was really wronged. Chen Luo didn't do anything. Chen Luo was just fulfilling his own wish. Moreover, Chen Luo was selective in fulfilling other people's wishes. He didn't just grant wishes to anyone.

If Chen Luo is truly a parasite of the world, then the first person to be personified as a puppet should be Mei.

The current civilization likely turned Kiana, Mei, and Bronya into puppets when they were not strong enough.

Oh, right, and Durandal was half-dead from being bombed by the insanely modified cloud bomb.

And Otto...

After turning all these important figures into puppets, they squeezed the world's resources to the extreme.

If such a traveler really existed, Chen Luo probably wouldn't be able to defeat him.

Of course, they could escape.

Therefore, theoretically speaking, the task of applying to become a Honkai consciousness is really difficult, perhaps even despair-inducing.

Therefore, it can be deduced just how desperately difficult it is to become the root cause.

[Identity task application completed]

【Holy Grail War】: Use your Master status to summon a Servant from this world through the Holy Grail, ensuring that the Servant does not die in the Holy Grail War before the Holy Grail appears, participate in the Holy Grail War with the Servant, gain an advantageous position in the Holy Grail War, and finally obtain the Holy Grail after it appears, purifying the evil of this world in the Holy Grail.

Reward: 2000 Primogems

"Heh, are they really forcing me to summon a real Servant to participate in the Holy Grail War? Well, whatever, I'll participate then. I am indeed somewhat interested in the Black Mud." Chen Luo stretched and muttered to himself.

The Servant who summoned this world using the Holy Grail with Master status has practically blocked all of Chen Luo's paths.

Unless Chen Luo specifically goes to the place where the Holy Grail is hidden to make contact with it, and then finds a spiritual follower in this world to form a relationship.

But this is too much trouble.

Chen Luo didn't want to participate in the Holy Grail War because he didn't want to trouble himself.

Since taking a different approach has become so troublesome, it's better to stick to the usual steps.

After all, Chen Luo isn't some kind of demon.

"Ugh, this is so annoying. Maybe I should just have Yakumo Yukari go to the Holy Grail War in my place... But that doesn't seem right. I have to go with a Servant."

"Forget it, I'll just find some time later and spend a night clearing the Holy Grail War."

"Let me think... which berserker would be a better fit for me? Berserker? Spartacus? Lu Bu or Xiang Yu? Tamamo Cat? Or maybe Lancelot?"

"Hmm... there's no point in thinking like that. But as long as the opponent is a living Servant, with my Puppet Master's buff, I can make other Servants feel helpless."

"Anything that's alive... even half-dead will do."

"Click".

A sound like something breaking rang out.

Upon hearing this sound, Chen Luo subconsciously looked towards the two white cocoons.

One belonged to the old bug, and the other to Sakura, but this time the sound came from Sakura.

It seems that Sakura is weaker than the old bug and has less to evolve than the old bug, which is why she was able to emerge from her cocoon more quickly.

"Matou Kariya, turn around. Don't turn back without my order," Chen Luo said to Matou Kariya, who was anxiously looking at the cocoon where Sakura was.
