Their commission was suspicious.

"Doctor, you..." Fu Hua looked at Chen Luo, who was fishing, and hesitated to speak.

"what happened?"

"No, it's nothing." Fu Hua shook her head, glanced at Chen Luo's fishing rod, and then closed her eyes.

He didn't open his eyes again until 10 seconds later.

"...You recognize this fishing rod?" Chen Luo was somewhat surprised when he saw Fu Hua's actions.

If Fu Hua didn't recognize the fishing rod, she probably wouldn't have closed her eyes for a full 10 seconds.

“I saw you take it out before, Doctor, but I didn’t know its effects. I know its effects because Durandal just told me about what you did,” Fu Hua said with a sigh.

Fu Hua was the one who guarded Chen Luo for the longest time.

Cherry blossoms, three days.

Alicia, three days.

Hua, after the tragic restraint incident, was the only one of the 13 Fusion Warriors left in the Fire Moth. As an extremely valuable asset, Hua was dispatched to other locations for combat missions. Apart from that, Hua remained Chen Luo's personal guard, just like Kevin, carrying out missions when needed and protecting Chen Luo's safety when not.

Although Hua did take leave during this period...

"Tsk, Durandal ruined my plans." Chen Luo sighed, then put away his fishing rod and swept the river away.

"Let's go," Chen Luo said to Fu Hua as he stood up.

"Huh? Where are we going?" Fu Hua was taken aback.

"Go revive your captain." Chen Luo said, taking a silver pocket watch out of his backpack.

"!!!" Fu Hua's heart skipped a beat when she heard Chen Luo's words.

Now, Chen Luo has a way to revive Himiko at the lowest cost!

While the Moon Clock itself would be difficult to reverse to the point of resurrecting Himiko, even draining ten Chen Luos would be a stretch, it can be used as an amplifier for time-related abilities.

In other words, a monthly timepiece allows time to be used to its fullest potential.

In addition, the river god's ability allows him to duplicate an item into three copies...

"I want to see what exactly Xiao Shi's mission reward—[108 Ways to Prevent Fraud]—has to say," Chen Luo said, gripping his moonwatch.

such as……

Beware of being scammed by your own mother?

Beware of being scammed by your own father?

"Alright, stop clutching your chest. You won't get anything out of it anyway," Chen Luo said, glancing at Fu Hua who was clutching her chest to calm herself.

"...Doctor, you're still as annoying as ever," Fu Hua said helplessly.

"Thank you for the compliment."

"..."

Who's praising you?

However, as expected, a PhD is a PhD.

He's as annoying as ever.

But since he was also the other side's guard, not only could he not beat him up, but he also had to stop others from beating him up...

Chapter 589 Absurd Time Jump Mechanism

The second effect of the Moon Clock, "Reversing Time," clearly states that the Moon Clock can reverse time, and not only Chen Luo's time, but also other people's time.

Reversing one's own time requires magic, while reversing someone else's time requires at least the power of time itself.

However, as mentioned in the second effect of the Moon Clock, the Moon Clock can be used as an amplifier for time-related abilities.

Coincidentally, in addition to his power of time, Chen Luo also has 10 years of "time". Although he has used some of it now, it still adds up to less than a month.

"So why summon this river? Are you going to go fishing again?" Fu Hua asked, looking at the river that Chen Luo had summoned.

During the time Fu Hua served as Chen Luo's bodyguard, Chen Luo rarely did anything behind Fu Hua's back.

Chen Luo usually uses the excuse of being an accomplice to make Fu Hua realize that she and Chen Luo are in the same boat.

Fu Hua is very honest, so she never cares what Chen Luo does. She is only responsible for protecting Chen Luo's safety, and thus she has seen a lot of the bad things Chen Luo does.

If these things were exposed, the 13 heroes besides Hua would beat Chen Luo up 50 times over.

For example, Kosmo probably still doesn't know who spread the label of "lolicon" to him.

Fu Hua knew, but she couldn't say it.

For example, who accurately weighed Alicia and obtained the true data that she had indeed gained weight?

Fu Hua knew, but she couldn't say it.

But Fu Hua had only just seen this river.

“Old relic, you don’t know this, do you? This river is… uh, it doesn’t matter what kind of river it is, what matters is that if you throw something into it, three things will appear.” The Herald of Knowledge suddenly realized that he didn’t know what kind of river it was either.

"Throwing something in can yield three times the reward, right? Durandal told me that." Fu Hua nodded.

"But what are you going to do with this river, Alo?" the Herrscher of Knowledge asked in return.

"The vast majority of rewards from the commission itself are uncopyable, or rather, if copied, their level would exceed the limit, and therefore they wouldn't last long. Thus, while many rewards are powerful, you can't hold onto the enhanced or super-enhanced versions of them indefinitely."

"But disposable items are an exception, because disposable items are only used once. For example, time."

“Now I need to use [Time] to revive your captain. Hmm, I always felt this item was bugged, but it still seems bugged now.” Chen Luo said as he squatted by the river.

"Hmm, a month... a month probably won't work, how about ten more days? Hmm, that should be about right. Although I'm not sure how long it will take, even if I lose money, I can't lose too much, right? Adding up the gold and silver portions for one month and ten days, and then adding the main body... that should be enough." Chen Luo muttered to himself as he carefully divided the chaotic light ball in his hand.

Chen Luo is rather stingy when it comes to time.

After all, if we waste less, we might be able to save one more life.

"Hey, why are you being so stingy? Just throw it all in, won't that be better?" The Herrscher of Knowledge, who was squatting by the river with Chen Luo, patted Chen Luo on the back.

"Wow." Startled by the Herrscher of Knowledge, Chen Luo accidentally dropped the Time from his hand.

"Splash!" Those moments fell into the river.

Fortunately, Chen Luo has already taken back the extra time.

Otherwise... it's nothing, anyway, after dispelling the gold and silver time, just throw it again.

It's not a big problem.

Time was thrown away by Chen Luo, and time was also retrieved by Chen Luo.

The good news is that you can retrieve the things you threw away without having to say any lines.

If a person or an unclaimed object accidentally falls into the river, there's no need to shout lines, which is why Chen Luo managed to catch four fish that night—all sorts of fish.

Although it didn't have much of an impact, Chen Luo still glared at the Herrscher of Knowledge.

"You're so clumsy, you're not getting dinner."

"Tch, who's afraid? There's no dinner to begin with," the Herald of Knowledge muttered under his breath.

"...Then you won't have dinner tomorrow either."

"No!" The Herald of Knowledge panicked.

"Remember to eat plenty of afternoon tea tomorrow." After patting the Herrscher of Knowledge on the shoulder, Chen Luo was summoned into the river.

“Emmm…” The Herald of Knowledge was very unhappy, but there was nothing it could do.

No, I need to get some snacks later.

What is reserve energy? This is what is reserve energy.

"Wait a minute, why is it this time..." Chen Luo looked at the time in his hand in surprise after he came out of the river.

It's not because time was swallowed by the river, but because time itself didn't become illusory, neither the golden time nor the silver time.

"No way, [Time] is so outrageous. You're telling me the gold version doesn't even exceed S-rank? I don't believe it." Chen Luo stared at [Time] in his hand, lost in thought. Or perhaps this [Time] has some special mechanism that he's unaware of?

However, no matter what, the most important thing now is not to spend time conducting experiments, but to spend time saving Himiko.

Having figured this out, Chen Luo, still harboring his doubts, walked to the side and took out Himiko's body from his backpack.

Himiko's real body is with Chen Luo, while the one left at the Fire Moth for research is just a perfect replica made by Chen Luo.

That cost Chen Luo a lot of Honkai Crystals.

Although all those crystals were extracted from the Herrscher core of the other party.

Oh, right, speaking of Herrscher Cores, I bet that unreliable scientist-engineer, Velvet, who likes to create genius little junk, hasn't yet turned the Herrscher of Flame Core into the Judgment of Heavenly Fire, has he?

No, I'll just throw the Herrscher of Flame's core into the river and duplicate it.

Let's also take a look at the manufacturing status of other Herrscher Cores.

From a purely rational perspective, creating a Divine Key is not an easy task, so it's possible that the Sixth Divine Key hasn't even been completed yet.

However, Chen Luo already possessed the core of the Herrscher of Death.

On the other side, Herrscher of Knowledge and Fu Hua looked at Himiko, who had been placed on the operating table by Chen Luo, and both of them had complicated expressions in their eyes.

If we were to name the people who had the greatest influence on Fu Hua's life, Himiko would undoubtedly be among them.

"Alright, you two get ready, we're heading to the First Civilization Era," Chen Luo said, putting Himiko's body away again.

"Huh? Then why did you take the captain's body out just now?"

"Of course, it's so you can have a moment of remembrance, so you won't just stand there dumbfounded when it's time to actually make your move," Chen Luo said matter-of-factly.

"But why do we have to go to the former civilization? Can't we just stay in a bar?" Fu Hua felt a little restless.

Fu Hua now knows that Chen Luo can indeed travel back and forth between the First Civilization Era and the Second Civilization Era, but she only knows it and has not traveled through it herself.

This was Fu Hua's first time going there, and she felt a little hesitant and uneasy.

"Of course not, it's too expensive, okay?" Chen Luo shook his head and refused.

"What do you mean?"

"After using [Time] a few times, I've roughly figured out its basic usage. This [Time] can be used in any world, except one represents an individual's timeline and the other represents the world's timeline."

"If you resurrect someone from another world in this world, you'll be using their own timeline, which will incur a lot of costs."

Take Morgan, for example.

Chen Luo wasn't sure how long it took to restore Morgan, but it was definitely less than 10 days, maybe even less than 5 days, and possibly less than two and a half days.

However, it took a full 10 days to revive the other party, a fact that Chen Luo still resented.

Morgan has probably only just died, and it takes so much time to reverse someone's personal timeline. If it were Himiko, who has been dead for more than a month, how much time would it take?

Chen Luo dared not imagine it, but in any case, Chen Luo was greatly shocked.

Chen Luo is a bit stingy, but there's a limit to how stingy he is. He prefers to use more resources on things that are more suitable.

"However, if time is reversed within the current world, the universal timeline is used, which reduces the cost of the ticket."

"It's roughly like the difference between a public entrance to an amusement park and a private VIP entrance," Chen Luo offered a slightly more apt analogy.

“I’ve already spoken to Möbius. As long as we go now, the surgery can be performed immediately. It will only take less than 10 minutes, and the battle will be over quickly,” Chen Luo said.

After saying that, Chen Luo pushed open a door in a corner of his third-floor attic.

Chen Luo's bar, whether on the first, second, or third floor, has doors that open to other places.

It's really too convenient.

After exchanging a glance with Fu Hua, the Herrscher of Knowledge immediately followed and then gave Fu Hua a provocative look.

"Sigh." Fu Hua sighed and walked out of the bar.

I feel apprehensive as I get closer to home.

Fu Hua never expected that she would experience this emotion again one day.

"Oh, right, Fu Hua, don't wear that training uniform anymore. See that outfit over there? Put it on before you come over." Just as Fu Hua was about to walk through the bar door to the front of the building, Chen Luo suddenly pointed to an outfit on the shelf next to her and said.

After saying that, Chen Luo closed the door immediately, giving Fu Hua no time to prepare.

"Huh?" Fu Hua stared blankly at the closed door.
