Their commission was suspicious.

As a result, you can't pass the level, right?

And besides, couldn't you have made a smaller keyboard? How am I supposed to type all the keys on such a big keyboard with my short fingers?

Isn't this bullying a little girl?

"Fine, I'll go with you then," Remilia said, sticking her neck out.

"No, forget it. I'm not so poor that I need you to compensate me for a damaged keyboard. Anyway, the reason this keyboard wasn't protected was because it was meant to be smashed." Chen Luo waved his hand.

After all, if you can't smash things to vent your anger after losing a game, someone with a bad temper might just start flipping the table.

To avoid disrupting the bar experience for regular customers, it's better to let them smash their keyboards.

"No way, you can't just say you won't pay. Wouldn't that make me lose face? Sakuya!" Remilia snapped her fingers.

"Understood, Miss." Izayoi Sakuya bowed slightly, then walked out of the bar, which was still open, and disappeared instantly.

Since no one except Chen Luo, a privileged individual, could freely use their abilities inside the bar, Izayoi Sakuya could only use her time-manipulation abilities after leaving the bar.

Perhaps because the door was open, Chen Luo was able to sense something amiss the instant the other party used their time-manipulation ability.

But before this strange feeling had even disappeared, Izayoi Sakuya had already returned to the bar entrance and walked in.

Thinking of this, Chen Luo glanced at the lunar clock in his backpack.

If I had been outside the bar instead of inside, perhaps I would have been affected by the other person's time manipulation abilities?

Who knows, something interesting might happen then.

Of course, nothing might happen.

Because the bar was so independent that no force could invade it, the other party's time manipulation ability did not include the bar. This made Chen Luo somewhat confused as to whether Izayoi Sakuya's ability was to pause the world's time or to pause her own time.

But in reality, there shouldn't be much difference in combat.

The only thing that's clear is that the other party can't harm anyone else while time is frozen.

Just like when Izayoi Sakuya fought Reimu Hakurei, she would only pause time and throw knives around her opponent's body.

Wait, pause time?

Throwing knives?

Element detection!

"Is this enough?" Remilia took the small piece of gold from Sakuya's hand and tossed it to Chen Luo.

"It's enough, but there's really no need to pay for it." As Chen Luo spoke, he used his friend's book to slap the flying gold into the river in front of him.

Chen Luo had always been curious: if he could create a golden version of everything if he threw it into the river, what would the golden version of gold be if it fell into the river?

This is a question worth pondering.

"Hey, what are you doing?" Remilia was taken aback when she saw Chen Luo's actions.

Did giving someone gold offend their pride?

Do you want the other person to feel like you're giving them charity?

Should I apologize?

Remilia thought about many things in that instant.

Sakuya, who was following behind Remilia, also showed a hint of surprise in her eyes when she saw the gold piece fall into the illusory river.

"..." This time Chen Luo didn't jump into the river, because even without jumping into the river, he could still summon three things.

However, you lose your divine power if you don't jump into the river, but the divine power of gold is negligible.

It's not a raw stone, so there's no need to haggle over every little detail.

but……

"So, do you think this has appreciated or depreciated in value?" Chen Luo asked Yakumo Yukari, who had just walked over.

Chen Luo had three metal objects in his hand. The one in the middle was ordinary gold, which was normal, but the ones on the left and right were not quite normal.

"A silver version of gold... Is this silver?" Yakumo Yukari asked after taking the silver gold from Chen Luo's hand.

"You're asking me?" Chen Luo shook his head.

"Isn't this a form of devaluation? Chen Luo, it seems your River God abilities aren't so incomprehensible after all. Take this moment, for example." Yakumo Yukari laughed, tossing the silver gold in her hand.

Having been shocked by Chen Luo's River God abilities several times, and finally managing to turn the tide, they naturally wanted to mock him mercilessly.

Although Yukari Yakumo knew that Chen Luo might retaliate against her.

But what does the revenge that Yakumo Yukari suffered later have to do with the present Yakumo Yukari?

Enjoy life to the fullest when you're successful!

"Yukari Yakumo, have you ever considered that what you hold in your hand isn't actually silver?" Chen Luo suddenly asked.

"Huh? How is that possible? If this wasn't Silver, I would have eaten the keyboard Remilia smashed right there and then." Yukari Yakumo was stunned for a moment.

"Ding-a-ling!" The wind chimes rang again, and this time it was Patchouli who came.

“Yukari Yakumo, show Patchouli the silver in your hand. I’m not sure what it is, but she should know,” Chen Luo said to Yukari Yakumo.

"..." Yakumo Yukari frowned and tossed the silver in her hand to Patchouli, who had just entered the bar.

Could it be that I misjudged him?

"Hmm? This is... mithril? Chen Luo, are you going to forge a staff?" Patchouli asked, seeing the silver metal in her hand.

“No, I wasn’t thinking about forging a staff. I already have my own staff, and I’m very satisfied with it.” Chen Luo said, taking out his crowbar.

"You think this is a crowbar?!" Patchouli exclaimed, looking at the crowbar in Chen Luo's hand.

"This crowbar staff is practically trash for weak mages like you, but for a mage like me who knows everything except magic, it's a perfect fit," Chen Luo said, shaking his head.

This is the holy grail of physics, a truly valuable item.

But for Patchouli, with her tiny arms and legs, using this thing would be suicidal.

Chen Luo is different; Chen Luo can even use it to deliver a head-on blow.

"Of course, that's not the point. The point is what you have in your hands."

"What's that in your hand? Mithril, what's wrong with it? But this piece of mithril doesn't look very high grade."

"And what about this?" Chen Luo asked after tossing the golden coin in his hand to Patchouli.

"Refined gold. The level isn't extremely high, but it's already quite good. As I suspected, Chen Luo, your theoretical knowledge is very rich, but your practical knowledge is quite lacking," Patchouli said.

"There's nothing I can do, I've only been learning magic for a little over a month," Chen Luo said helplessly.

Chen Luo has only been learning magic for a little over a month. Where is Chen Luo going to gain so much practical experience?

You only hire recent graduates, but you need ten years of work experience, right?

"..." After hearing Chen Luo's words, Patchouli glared at Chen Luo, then threw both pieces of special metal back to him.

So you're in Versailles again?

I'm not sour.

It's not sour at all.

Patchouli threw both special metals back, but mithril was half the weight of ordinary metals, while adamantite was twice the weight of ordinary metals.

Patchouli was frail and sickly, and not very strong, or rather, not very strong.

So... after receiving the mithril, Chen Luo watched helplessly as Jin Jin fell into the river.

"...My precious gold!" Chen Luo cried out in grief.

Chen Luo has conducted experiments.

If the gold version of the item is thrown back into the river, Chen Luo's powers will not react in any way, and the item will sink to the bottom.

Unfortunately, the river has no bottom.

"Uh, did I mess up?" Patchouli asked worriedly.

"Ah, it's okay. I can just cancel it and throw it away again." Chen Luo said as he canceled the gold and silver versions of the item, which were made of gold.

Then they threw the gold back into the river.

Although Chen Luo probably won't be able to retrieve the item, he can cancel and discard it again.

This is much more efficient than jumping into the river to retrieve the sinking gold.

"Also, I forgot who said it, if this isn't Silver, then eat the keyboard Remilia smashed on the spot. Right?" Chen Luo squinted at Yakumo Yukari beside him.

"..." Yakumo Yukari looked around.

"Wait, I'm going to smash the keyboard right now! Yukari Yakumo, you old hag, just wait and see what happens to my keyboard!" Remilia jumped up instantly and then ran excitedly towards the corner where the computer was placed.

"This doesn't make sense. Why would throwing gold in result in a piece of mithril and a piece of fine gold?" Yukari Yakumo was puzzled as she looked at the two items, gold and silver, that had reappeared in Chen Luo's hand.

"Snapped!"

"Ahem, um, I suddenly remembered something. I need to go back and maintain Gensokyo." Hearing the sound of keyboard banging coming from the corner of the bar, Yakumo Yukari paused for a moment, then quickly walked towards the bar's door.

"Come back," Chen Luo said softly.

Yukari Yakumo's body obediently stopped there.

According to the contract, in the bar and in the other world, Yukari Yakumo must listen to Chen Luo.

"The keyboard is here!" Remilia's excited voice rang out, as she held a keyboard that kept losing keycaps.

Watching Izayoi Sakuya close the bar door that was just a stone's throw away and give her a polite smile, Yakumo Yukari felt like crying.

孽 孽!

And as for the keyboard and stuff, there's no way you could possibly get in, right?

Chapter 598 Mission: Find the River God! Chen Luo: ? ? ?

"Wow, this monster is really amazing. It can actually eat a keyboard. If she were to take a bite..." Chen Luo watched as Yakumo Yukari bit the "Shift" key to pieces and shuddered slightly.

Yukari Yakumo is a youkai, after all. Putting aside whether her physical skills are on par with Yuuka Kazami, her physical attributes are certainly not weak.

Good teeth, can eat anything with great relish.

If it accidentally bites a part of Chen Luo's body, wouldn't it be a disaster?

Actually, Chen Luo didn't really intend for Yakumo Yukari to eat the keyboard.

Chen Luo was just watching the show from the sidelines, but Remilia kept chattering away.

While biting the keyboard, Yukari Yakumo stared at Remilia, giving Remilia the feeling that Yukari was biting her.

"Um... could you give me a keyboard?" Remilia said, reaching out to Chen Luo.

Remilia urgently needs to leave.

"Here you go." After creating a keyboard using the Void Treasury, Chen Luo handed it to Remilia.

Remilia took the keyboard, pondered for a moment, and then threw it directly into the river.

"..." Since the divine power given by the keyboard was so little that it was negligible, Chen Luo directly gave Remilia both the gold and silver versions of the keyboard and the original keyboard.

"I was wondering if it's possible that I kept losing because of the keyboard. Now that I have the gold keyboard, maybe I'll start winning. You can take the silver keyboard back; I don't want it." Remilia made no attempt to hide her disdain for the silver keyboard.

"..."

Are vampires afraid of silver items?

Or is it simply a matter of dislike?

"Can you really replicate three of everything with this thing?" Remilia asked, looking at the river in front of Chen Luo.

“That’s right, and not only can you duplicate three, but the gold and silver items will also be enhanced to varying degrees, just like if you throw in a gold coin, you’ll get mithril and fine gold,” Chen Luo said.

“This isn’t magic. This is even more outrageous than the Philosopher’s Stone,” Patchouli, who had been watching Chen Luo’s actions for a long time, said.

At least the Philosopher's Stone is based on the principle of equivalent exchange, but this river is just making a complete fuss.

"Is the ability to replicate three items due to this river, or because your own abilities require the river?" Patchouli asked, looking at the board standing beside her.

“I’m afraid it’s not because of this river. But this river should also be one of the abilities, right?” At this moment, Izayoi Sakuya spoke up for some reason.
