Chapter 568 The River God's Powers: Gold, Silver, and His True Form

"What kind of river is this?" Chen Luo looked at the river he had summoned with some curiosity.

The River God probably doesn't have that ability, but Chen Luo does.

"But never mind, the most important thing now is not what kind of river this is, but how to use the river god's power."

"Let me think. Since this is a six-star ability that has been reforged and modified from a non-SSS-level ability, then rationally speaking, this ability should be a super-deluxe upgrade of a non-six-star ability. In other words, a six-star item should also have the ability that a non-six-star item possesses."

"In that case, let's think carefully about what abilities the original river god possessed."

"Hmm, the Milky Way is also a river?" Chen Luo tilted his head.

"Where is the Milky Way?" Chen Luo looked up.

If Chen Luo remembered correctly, that self-contained land of China was the Heavenly Court in mythology, and there was indeed a celestial river within the Heavenly Court.

The question is, will I be able to get to that river?

"Oh, no. The first thing we need to determine is whether I can suddenly emerge from the river. This isn't the river god's ability, so further experiments are needed."

"And the abilities that can be confirmed about the other party are that they drive very steadily, have a very irritating tone, squinty eyes, and..." Chen Luo's gaze moved slightly downwards and saw the illusory river.

"Throw one thing and it turns into three?" Chen Luo pondered as he tossed a bag of snacks into the somewhat illusory river.

Although the river seemed a bit unreal, it did look like a river. Let's give it a try; it might work.

It's just a bag of snacks anyway.

"Splash!" Just when Chen Luo thought the snack might have fallen directly onto the floor rather than into the somewhat illusory river, a deep, resonant sound rang out.

The next moment, Chen Luo felt as if he had been summoned by something.

This summoning is not mandatory, but rather selective.

Moreover, there are three options.

First, regardless.

The consequence of ignoring it is that the bag of snacks will sink to the bottom and never be seen again unless Chen Luo retrieves it himself.

Second, it directly summons three packs of gold, silver, and regular snacks.

The effect is still uncertain, but it will definitely turn into three.

Third, Chen Luo himself appears in the river and, as is customary, asks, "Did you drop this golden snack? Or this silver snack? Or this ordinary snack?"

And the effect... one can only gain divine power by performing divine duties.

Chen Luo had a strange feeling that doing this might yield something.

After a moment of thought, Chen Luo's figure vanished instantly and then reappeared in the river.

It appeared in this seemingly illusory river.

"Ah, so that question is optional? Then I won't ask it." Feeling that he had fallen into the river, and that even without reciting lines, it could be considered as fulfilling his divine duty, Chen Luo simply jumped out of the river again.

Incidentally, Chen Luo also brought out three bags of snacks from the river.

One pack is glittering gold, one pack is shimmering silver, and one pack is very ordinary.

"Is this stuff really edible?" Chen Luo opened the three packets of snacks and placed them in front of him.

After thinking for a moment, Chen Luo tried a bag of ordinary snacks.

There was no damp smell, and the snacks remained dry.

After a moment's hesitation, Chen Luo put the somewhat silvery potato chips into his mouth.

"Mmm, delicious. Much better than that bag of regular potato chips. So, is it enhanced?" Chen Luo asked, somewhat surprised.

And the enhanced attribute is the deliciousness attribute of this bag of potato chips?

After tasting the bag of glittering potato chips, Chen Luo finally confirmed that the chips had indeed become tastier.

Silver potato chips are delicious, but gold potato chips are even better. They taste even better than the food I make at the bar.

Terrifying! Terrifying indeed!

"So here's the question: can we throw the golden potato chip into the river for another boost?" Chen Luo pondered as he threw the newly broken golden potato chip into the river in front of him.

"Pfft!"

And then that was it; it sank to the bottom, and Chen Luo could no longer see it.

"...So that means it's not allowed?" Chen Luo seemed to understand the rules.

"Could this bag of ordinary potato chips be used as an enhancement material to further strengthen it?" Chen Luo pondered as he threw the torn bag of ordinary potato chips into the river.

"Pfft!"

And then... that was it.

This time, there wasn't even a notification sound.

In other words, if Chen Luo still wants that bag of gold potato chips and the regular potato chips, he'll have to go down into the river and fish them out himself.

"Never mind, it's not that serious." Chen Luo shook his head while eating the bag of silver potato chips.

It's just a bag of potato chips.

At the same time, Chen Luo also felt the slight feedback he had received when he was performing his divine duties.

[River God's Power]: You can only gain divine power by fulfilling your divine duties. Only by diligently fulfilling your responsibilities will you receive the rewards you deserve.

Effects include, but are not limited to, accumulating, serving as high-quality faith power, as enhancement material, directly strengthening physical and mental power or internal energy, exorcising evil, warding off disasters, and serving as a universal energy source...

"Ah...this thing is much more useful than those powers of faith." Looking at the many uses of this river god's power, Chen Luo was truly impressed from the bottom of his heart.

The river god is truly amazing.

After thinking for a moment, Chen Luo directly transformed the river god's power into a wisp of energy to enhance his own magic.

"The effect seems pretty good, and the key is that it doesn't seem to have any side effects. Is this the effect of the concept god's power? A universal energy source? Isn't this much stronger than that trashy faith power of the god of worship?" Chen Luo complained while eating potato chips.

Chen Luo was unsure whether the acquisition of the River God's power was related to a person's sincerity or the value of the items; this required careful verification.

After eating half of the potato chips, Chen Luo casually tossed the spirit stone into the river in front of him.

One... mid-grade spirit stone.

Feeling a certain call, Chen Luo instantly reappeared in the river. When Chen Luo jumped out of the river again, he had three more spirit stones in his hand.

Looking at the three spirit stones, Chen Luo hesitated for a moment before picking them up and running downstairs.

Chen Luo was blind and couldn't tell the difference between the three spirit stones, so he had no choice but to ask his dear Miss Yvette to appraise them.

Well, the main problem is that Chen Luo only has one high-grade spirit stone; he has none of the others.

Chen Luo had never seen higher-grade spirit stones before; he was simply a poor man with no experience in such matters.

Therefore, Chen Luo naturally couldn't tell what grade these spirit stones were.

“Yvette…” After running down from the third floor, Chen Luo saw Yvette giving him the middle finger.

"...Put your middle finger down." When Chen Luo saw the other person give him the middle finger, he instinctively wanted to yell at them, but after thinking about it carefully, he realized that he was the one who asked the other person to give him the middle finger.

Oh, it's alright then.

Well, Chen Luo regretted it.

Yvette is beautiful, but only if she doesn't speak.

That statement is indeed wrong.

Yvette is beautiful, provided she can't move.

That statement is correct.

The mute bride is outdated; the doll bride is the new way.

Don't move, it will look good as long as you don't move.

Yvette really knows how to provoke Chen Luo.

"Alright, I'm too lazy to argue with you anymore. Let's see what quality these spirit stones are." Chen Luo said as he placed the three spirit stones in his hand on the table.

Gold spirit stones, silver spirit stones, and ordinary spirit stones.

"What are these?" Yvette frowned as she looked at the three rather unusual spirit stones.

The ordinary spirit stone was clearly a mid-grade spirit stone, but Yvette really couldn't tell what the other two were.

Yvette, as the presiding judge of the Inquisition of Heretics and the Angel of War of the Church, enjoys a very high status.

Therefore, Yvette's Angel Ring contains a considerable number of items, including a large number of spirit stones.

There are even two top-grade spirit stones in Yvette's Angel Realm.

They were rich to a degree that Chen Luo never expected.

However, Chen Luo had no intention of taking the two top-grade spirit stones.

In this world where spiritual energy has only recently begun to recover, spirit stones are still relatively scarce.

Although some spirit stone mines have emerged thanks to the revival of spiritual energy, these mines can only yield high-grade spirit stones at most. It will take time for them to slowly develop into large-scale mines capable of producing top-grade spirit stones.

Currently, almost every faction's top-tier spirit stones are left behind by the big shots above when they were dealing with the Abyss Plane.

The reserves are limited and insufficient.

Therefore, the quantity of top-grade spirit stones is recorded. It's troublesome to be missing even one, let alone two.

Besides, Chen Luo himself is not short of spirit stones.

Therefore, it's not worth increasing the probability of Yvette's true identity being exposed just for these two top-grade spirit stones.

"These are upgraded versions of spirit stones I created using special methods, and even upgraded versions of spirit stones," Chen Luo said, pointing to the gold and silver spirit stones.

"Could you help me identify the level of these spirit stones and what type they are equivalent to?" Chen Luo asked.

Upon hearing Chen Luo's words and command, Yvette picked up the gold and silver spirit stones.

While Yvette was appraising the snacks, Chen Luo distributed his bag of potato chips to the Herrscher of Knowledge and Morgan, who were also sitting there.

The Lawbringer readily accepted the bag of potato chips, grabbing quite a few, but Morgan refused quite directly.

“I think I can tell. This silver spirit stone is equivalent to a high-grade spirit stone,” Yvette said, pointing to the silver spirit stone after examining it for a while.

"Oh, is it that amazing? Then this golden spirit stone must be a top-grade spirit stone, right?" Chen Luo was genuinely surprised.

"What are you thinking? Although the exchange rate between top-grade spirit stones and high-grade spirit stones is still 1:100, top-grade spirit stones are priceless and have no market. Moreover, their spiritual power quality is overwhelmingly superior to that of high-grade spirit stones. Therefore, this official price cannot be taken as reliable."

"However, although your golden spirit stone is not as large as a top-grade spirit stone, and is only the same size as a high-grade spirit stone, the quality of the spiritual energy it contains is that of a top-grade spirit stone."

"It can be considered a small-sized top-grade spirit stone, and its price should still be quite high. Moreover, top-grade spirit stones have the characteristic of automatically absorbing and replenishing spiritual energy when consumed."

"How much did it cost you to make these golden spirit stones? Let me calculate whether you're making a profit or not," Yvette asked with concern.

The bond between a puppeteer and his puppeteer implies that they are forever in the same boat; their fates are intertwined, and any loss for either of them would be an insult to this relationship.

So Yvette really cares about this.

"Cost? What cost? There's no cost." Chen Luo was stunned for a moment before shaking his head.

"No cost?" Yvette was taken aback when she heard Chen Luo's words.

“Come on, let me demonstrate for you. Yvette, first take off your Angel Ring and then throw it into this river.” As Chen Luo spoke, he pulled out the somewhat illusory river that existed in the bar.

"Huh?" Although Yvette didn't know what Chen Luo was up to, she still obediently listened to Chen Luo and threw the Angel Ring in her hand into it.

In fact, Yvette was more concerned about the unexpected river than the Angel's Ring.

I have a feeling...

After throwing down the ring, Cang Chenluo, who was sitting opposite Yvette, suddenly disappeared and then slowly emerged from the illusory river.

“Young Yvette, did you drop this golden angel ring? Or this silver angel ring? Or this ordinary angel ring?” Three rings appeared beside Chen Luo, and he spoke to Yvette in a calm and unhurried tone.

"Hmm?" Chen Luoyi's eyes widened slightly upon seeing this way of making her entrance.

The story of the River God belongs to one of the simplest and most easily understood fairy tales.

This means that quite a few people have read this story.
