Their commission was suspicious.

Of course, Raven only explained this basic information to Chen Luo; she didn't tell him anything about the special abilities of the Third Divine Key.

"Then, can I take a look?" Chen Luo asked, pointing to the third Divine Key.

"No," the raven refused outright.

Are you kidding me? After seeing your ability to store gold in a special space, would I dare to show you the Third Divine Key?

What should I do if you take away the Third Divine Key?

For a mercenary like Raven, who has been working for many years, it's essential to be wary of others.

Otherwise, they would have been eaten to the bone long ago.

Although Chen Luo seemed quite agreeable, that wasn't the reason Raven lent him the Third Divine Key.

"Is it not good? Anyway, I think this third divine key looks pretty good to me." Chen Luo was a little disappointed, but he didn't care too much.

"..." The raven remained silent.

Another reason why Raven was unwilling to let Chen Luo see the Third Divine Key was that the Third Divine Key in her possession seemed to quite like Chen Luo.

The Third Divine Key is a weapon that is extremely dependent on compatibility.

What if the third Divine Key in your possession ends up in Chen Luo's hands and he prefers Chen Luo? What are you going to do with Raven then? Wouldn't Raven lose face?

Raven knew all too well just how powerful the Third Divine Key was.

Moreover, although the two are currently coexisting peacefully, there are still concerns about whether the other party might covet the Third Divine Key if they knew how powerful it was. Therefore, it would be better to simply refuse outright.

"It's lunchtime, how about we go grab some lunch?" Chen Luo suddenly invited Raven.

"Hmm, where should we go for lunch?" Raven paused for a moment.

"I'm a traveler from another world, so I naturally have my own lunch-eating skills. So recommend me to World Serpent, and I'm sure I can become a leader. Then World Serpent will definitely give you a big bonus." Chen Luo looked at Raven expectantly.

"No," the raven refused.

"Alright then." Chen Luo sighed, then summoned the bar.

"Wait, where are the children?"

"This is a bar, you know. I can't let kids in here. I'll just pack them up later." Chen Luo waved his hand dismissively and went straight into the bar.

After listening to Chen Luo's explanation, Raven thought for a moment and then followed him inside.

Regardless, intelligence is a valuable resource. Although he has given up on capturing Chen Luo, Jackal should still offer a reward if he can provide relevant information.

With that thought in mind, Raven walked into a bar called Zero Point Bar.

"Hmm, the decor of this bar is not bad." Raven made a professional judgment upon first glance at the bar.

Raven had also run a bar and was very good at business. However, Raven's bartending and cooking skills were really not good, so the business failed after a short time. Later, after rejoining World Serpent, he entrusted the bar to World Serpent to manage, using it as an intelligence base.

"So, are you going to eat first, drink first, or... eat me first?" Chen Heng asked after walking behind the bar.

"...These are corny pickup lines from who-knows-when, but you don't need them for free, do you?" Raven rolled her eyes at Chen Luo.

"Haha, just kidding. I saw you were so wary, so I wanted to ease the tension. Don't worry, at least this time it's free. Order whatever you want to drink," Chen Luo said generously.

"Then let's have one of their signature drinks," Raven said, having looked up, down, left, and right but not finding a sign in the bar.

At the same time, Raven labeled the bar as substandard, saying that this shabby bar, which didn't even have a name for its drinks, was doomed to fail sooner or later.

However, it's not bad if you just use it as a travel tool.

[Ding! You have a new request!]

"Okay, please wait a moment."

No wonder he used to own a bar; he's so cooperative, he's even a little more adept at getting freebies than Wendy.

Chen Luo isn't a machine. If you asked him to slaughter assassins continuously for seven days, not to mention whether his body could withstand it, his mind might collapse. So sometimes, a bar is needed to regulate Chen Luo's emotions.

Perhaps it was the effect of the bar itself, but Chen Luo was able to quickly recover from both physical and mental fatigue while staying in the bar.

Of course, while recovering, Chen Luo didn't forget to take advantage of some opportunities.

Unfortunately, the other members and regulars at the bar were used to coming at night, which meant that Chen Luo rarely got any customers when he went to the bar during the day.

"This drink...who taught you how to mix drinks?" Raven's eyes widened slightly after tasting the drink.

Goodness, if I had this bartending skill back then, why would I have gone back to World Snake? I could have just opened a bar and lived there until I died!

The raven returned to the World Serpent because it offered more rewards, but if it had Chen Luo's bartending skills...

Raven opens at 9 p.m. and closes at 11 p.m., operating for two hours only, and only 20 drinks are available. Raven dares to sell each drink for $1000.

If you could make a fortune every day, who would want to go to the World Snake?

"Want to learn? I'll teach you," Chen Luo said, looking at Raven.

Chen Luo's bartending skills were already at a proficient level, and if you take into account the bar's support, he could directly reach the master level.

As for Raven, Chen Luo felt that he had barely scratched the surface, let alone mastered it.

"Really... never mind." Raven shook his head.

Even if I were to leave World Snake now to open a bar, I probably wouldn't be able to adapt very well.

Of course, most importantly, Raven was still a little insecure about his bartending talent.

"If you're not planning to travel anymore and instead intend to settle down in this world, how about we open a bar? I'll run it, you can mix the drinks, and we'll split the profits 50/50?" Raven has always had a keen eye for making money.

“But the problem is I own a bar,” Chen Luo said, pointing to the bar.

"But you have no customers. Although you do have a lot of gold, are you planning to just sit around and do nothing?" Raven looked at Chen Luo with anger at his lack of ambition.

"Emmm, don't say that. My bar does have customers occasionally."

How many are there?

"Hmm, less than 10, I guess?" Chen Luo was a little unsure.

There are at least fewer than 10 regular customers.

Wendy, Yura, Mona, Theresa, Himeko, Mebius, Kiana, Raiden Mei, Bronya, Herrscher of Knowledge, Yuyuko...

In addition to the occasional appearance of minor evil spirits, Klein, etc.

"No, there are 10!" Chen Luo suddenly gained confidence.

"Are there 20?" Raven asked again.

"without……"

“Yeah, if you can’t even get 20 customers a day, what kind of bar are you running? Are you just waiting to go bankrupt?” Raven tapped the bar counter with her finger and said.

"This...it shouldn't go out of business, right?" Chen Luo thought to himself that even if his bar lost money, it shouldn't go out of business.

Putting everything else aside for now, the bar doesn't have to pay for utilities or rent.

“So, come with me…” Raven said again.

"I really never thought I'd be poached one day, but I'll agree since you have such good judgment. When I'm really ready to settle down in this world and don't have a job, I'll come find you. Remember to save me a bartender position at your family bar," Chen Luo said with some emotion.

"That's right. Oh, by the way, what kind of customers does your bar usually cater to?" Raven asked, sipping his drink with a bored expression.

"Hmm, what kind of guests should we receive..." Raven had stumped Chen Luo.

What kind of guests do you usually receive?

A drunken bard who does nothing productive all day.

An astrologer who was rich but almost starved to death.

A short, stunted winter melon who loves drinking bitter melon juice and never grows tall even in his forties.

A vengeful knight who always talks about holding grudges.

And... Mebius, who liked to use others as guinea pigs.

Thinking of this, Chen Luo took another look at the raven.

Raven should have seen Möbius by now, right?

Chen Luo refers to the memory chip Möbius.

Hopefully, if she runs into Mebius at this bar again, she'll stay calm.

Or, in other words, should the raven not be allowed in unless there are special circumstances? To maintain a time difference between the two?

As the bar owner, Chen Luo certainly has that authority.

"They were some rather strange guests, all kinds of people, some that fly in the sky, some that walk on the ground, and some that swim in the water."

"What kind of strange descriptions are these?"

“No, it’s not surprising. Once you actually meet them, you’ll know I wasn’t lying.” Chen Luo shook his head.

Chapter 95 Five-Star Achievement - [The Hand of the Madman]

Crystal: 27915

Honkai Energy Adaptability: 179.95%

Five-star achievement completion rate: 8050/10000

This is the progress of Chen Luo's 7-day activity at noon on the 4th day.

The situation is very good.

Especially since the number of crystals is almost 3.

Therefore, with Xiao Xiaoshi watching him expectantly, Chen Luo finally bought the Taixu Sword Qi.

The Taixu Sword Qi costs 4000 crystals in total, but after a 4% discount, it becomes 1600 crystals.

During the event, the amount of crystals needed to purchase all items in this world will be discounted by 9%, and since Chen Luo himself has learned a lot of Taixu Sword Qi, the discount can be further reduced.

Therefore, buying the entire Taixu Sword Qi (including Taixu Sword God) only cost 1080 crystals.

Does that sound like a small number compared to the nearly 20,000 to 30,000 crystals? That's right, it's a very small number.

Chen Luo felt that coming to this broken world was absolutely the right decision; he was practically raking in the profits.

Unfortunately, due to Chen Luo's limited strength, he did not unleash his full power when using the Taixu Sword God.

The potential of the Void Sword God is very high, but Chen Luo's potential has not yet been fully realized...

"Sigh, if only these crystals were all raw stones." Chen Luo sighed deeply.

Crystals are good, but they are only available for purchasing items in the Honkai Impact 3rd world.

Upon closer inspection, there aren't many things to buy in the Honkai Impact world.

Things like Herrscher Cores and Divine Keys are better bought by robbing than by spending 1 crystals.

Of course, the more important reason is that although Chen Luo's crystals look numerous, they are actually just average; they are not few, but they are not many either.

Chen Luo wasn't the type to be blinded by crystals; he'd be more likely to be swayed by raw stones.

Therefore, these crystals must be carefully managed to maximize one's strength.

You definitely have to buy the Herrscher Core. After all, what kind of Honkai world would exist if you didn't buy the Herrscher Core?

But you need to think carefully about what to buy.

Furthermore, due to faction issues, the Herrscher Cores that Chen Luo can currently purchase are only the Herrscher of Consciousness Core, Herrscher of Thunder Core, Herrscher of Reason Core, Herrscher of Wind Core, Herrscher of Flame Core, Herrscher of Death Core, and Herrscher of Void Core.

It is important to note that these are merely the core elements of the Herrscher, not the Herrscher's powers.

These two are different, and the difference is significant.

Take Xiao Shi for example. She is a destined Herrscher, possessing the powers of the Herrscher of Knowledge, and can use the Herrscher of Knowledge's abilities without any side effects.

Walter is a counterexample.

Is Walter strong?

Very strong.

The Herrscher of Reason's abilities are indeed incredibly powerful, but Welt, or rather Welt II, is not a fully qualified user of the Herrscher of Reason's core. He suffers immense pain constantly when using the Herrscher core.

However, it's different with Bronya. Bronya is a suitable candidate for the Herrscher of Reason core. If Welt II can only exert 80% of the Herrscher of Reason core's ability, then Bronya can easily reach 90%.

There are also the Death Law, the Flame Law, and the Wind Law, which are currently just pure Herrscher cores.
