Their commission was suspicious.

Sigh, although Bai Zhi did feel that Chen Luo was somewhat unambitious and too laid-back.

But in a way, perhaps it was because of Chen Luo's personality that I met him in the first place, wasn't it?

But once the guide wakes up, we must immediately kick her out!

Although Chen Luo didn't know what Bai Zhi was thinking, he could sense that she was somewhat unwilling.

From this perspective, Chen Luo is quite grateful to Bai Zhi. After all, having a friend who gets angry because of him shows that this friend truly cares about him.

From this perspective, Bai Zhi does indeed qualify for the 6% discount offered by her friend request.

However, Chen Luo's ambitions truly lay elsewhere.

Moreover, Chen Luo received far too much.

[Ding! Rank A talent (Gravity Bear) has been recorded]

[Ding! Rank A talent (Radiant Mage) has been recorded]

Upon hearing this, Chen Luo glanced at the vice-captain, dressed in an elegant evening gown, lying inside the cocoon, and at the lantern containing Da Xiong's soul.

The "You are a puppet" buff for both people was then cancelled.

Chen Luo said he had gained too much, including the life-extending technique, the lantern, and the talents of these two A-level talents.

It is worth mentioning that, in the determination of the group network, Nobita's subject is not his physical body, but his soul.

Chen Luo did not not charge any fees. What he charged were their talents that allowed them to make a living in this world, as well as some of their skills, abilities, and knowledge.

Of course, it's just asking them to upload it; it's not like we're taking these things away from them.

As for the guide?

Chen Luo wanted both A-level talents, so how could he refuse an S-level talent when it was right in front of him?

However, because the S-level talent itself is quite large, it will take some time to upload it completely.

Chen Luo might never use the "Guide" talent, but he can't live without it.

The reason Chen Luo didn't touch the director's shackle ability wasn't because he didn't want to, but because as a support-type talent user, the director was often surrounded by many people.

Although the special skill "You Are a Puppet" is an achievement that is virtually impossible to detect, Chen Luo did not want to cause any more trouble.

Unless there are exceptional circumstances, Chen Luo generally wouldn't target S-level talents.

As for a mentor? Isn't this a special opportunity?

However, although each of these S-level talents could be considered a protagonist-type ability, Chen Luo really didn't dare to stuff them all into his soul.

Inserting it will consume resources, increase the burden on the soul, and also increase the rejection of Chen Luo by certain special worlds.

The best option is for Chen Luo to have no abilities other than those talents that have already been conceptualized.

The purer, the better.

Therefore, Chen Luo even downloaded the book "Knights Never Die Barehanded," which he was very interested in, using a smaller version of the Soul Steel Doll.

Chen Luo naturally wanted to conceptualize these talents as well, but apart from the Herrscher abilities that come with the Herrscher core, he had never seen any talents that could be actively conceptualized.

Was the transformation from a cocoon to a butterfly a happy accident?

[Ding! S-rank talent (Guide) has been recorded]

After what seemed like an eternity... well, only about 10 minutes, the S-rank talent was successfully entered into the group network.

While inputting S-rank talents into a group network is indeed much more troublesome and time-consuming than inputting A-rank talents, it's not impossible, since the group network itself is a product of SS-rank talents.

The difference between S-rank talents is not just one rank.

This can be seen from the fact that no second SS-level talent has appeared in the world so far.

However, Chen Luo's group network does not support the input of SS-level talents.

Unless that SS-level talent, such as Yakumo Yukari, is truly and perfectly puppetized by Chen Luo, and not puppetized using the method of "You are a puppet," the capacity of the group network cannot support the input of SS-level talents.

The unique existence of the group network is not supported by Chen Luo alone, but by all the beings who have become puppets, plus Chen Luo, the puppeteer.

If Yakumo Yukari is perfectly personified, it means that the group network has received the full support of Yakumo Yukari, thus ensuring that SS-rank talents can be incorporated into the group network.

Using the skill "You are a puppet" won't work because it will eventually end, and the group network capacity will plummet after that. Chen Luo doesn't know what will happen next.

It could be that the group network is damaged, or it could simply be that the capability has been lost.

Of course, there is another way, which is to have enough puppetry techniques.

If the quality is insufficient, make up for it with quantity.

The sheer size of the network created by turning everyone in the previous civilization into puppets would definitely be large enough to accommodate an SS-level talent.

If we dream a little wilder, when the Domination talent successfully becomes an SSS-level talent, wouldn't it be a natural progression to accommodate SS-level talents?

Well, from a generally rational perspective, this is not something that cannot be achieved.

Just like Chen Luo never thought he would have the talent of a river god.

Chen Luo has recently had raw stones but hasn't been using them for lotteries. There's a reason for this: he wants to customize an SSS-level talent, like the River God.

But first, Chen Luo needs to collect enough materials to increase the directionality of his abilities so that he has a higher probability of obtaining the abilities he wants.

This time, Chen Luo wants control.

"Traveler, thank you for your healing." After the vice-captain, the Radiant Mage, recovered from the effect of the metamorphosis, he sat up.

Unlike the guide, who needed half an hour, the guide had an extremely special toxin in her body that was very difficult to deal with. Therefore, the ability to break free from the cocoon was needed to both neutralize the toxin and increase her resistance to it.

Although the vice-captain was indeed injured in the battle in the Abyss Passage, and the injury was not serious—as a mage, he was also pinched hard by the giant bear that had transformed into a gravity bear—it was ultimately just a physical injury, so it wasn't a big problem.

In just those 10 minutes, he even had the time to get rid of some of his old ailments.

The bear next to it had already been healed from its arm injury and excessive bleeding, but because it had lost its soul and was unable to move, it was unable to tear the fragile thread.

"You're welcome. Meow." Chen Luo waved his hand.

"My captain..." The vice-captain looked at the cocoon where the guide was, hesitating to speak.

"Don't worry, you'll emerge from your cocoon in a while, and you'll be almost fully recovered by then. But your team can't just be the three of you forever, right? Have the other members arrived? Are their injuries serious? Meow," Chen Luo asked.

"If conditions permit, I can also help them with their treatment as well."

"This... is not necessary. Our team has a total of 6 people. There are quite a few peripheral team members, but they are all placed in a special hospital near the abyss passage into the city. As for the original 6 members of the team, one died and the other two were seriously injured, but not to the point of being life-threatening, so they were also placed in a special hospital."

"The only ones with relatively minor injuries and still in good fighting condition are me and Da Xiong, so the two of us escorted the captain here for treatment. But I didn't expect Da Xiong to..." The vice-captain looked at the cocoon where Da Xiong was, his eyes filled with complex emotions.

"I have no intention of saying anything more about what's between you two. Just remember to pay up later. Meow." Chen Luo didn't want to drag himself into the vortex of reality.

"Don't worry, no team that frequently goes down into the abyss would choose to offend someone with your exceptional healing abilities. The money will definitely be paid," the vice-captain said quite politely.

Competition with the Abyss Dimension in the Abyss Passage is the main activity of the gifted in this world.

Because of the Abyss Passage, most countries have stayed within their own borders and are fighting against it.

It's truly rare to see someone like Yvette who travels across borders to other countries to seek death.

As a support character, Chen Luo only needs to make good use of his support abilities to help the major forces in this world communicate with their respective upper realms and exchange resources and information.

This is already the greatest help to the world, so there's no need to sacrifice Chen Luo himself as well.

Not long after, the guide also emerged from the cocoon.

"Captain, how are you feeling?" the vice-captain quickly asked, leaning over.

"Make way." The guide reached out and shoved the vice-captain aside.

Although the vice-captain was somewhat confused, he still obeyed his captain's orders.

Immediately afterwards, the guide said to Chen Luo, "Young man, are you getting married?"

"..." Chen Luo silently drew his sword, the one that had been given to whom he had been stabbed.

"Captain..." The vice-captain's expression was a mixture of emotions.

That's not a straight shot anymore, it's a direct cut!

[Ding! Mission complete]

However, this at least proves that their captain has recovered.

"Haha, just kidding, but I do really like you," the guide said, clutching his chest over his heart.

"So, are you interested in joining my squad? A normal squad is a 5- or 6-person team, but we lost two members this time, so we might need to bring in some fresh blood. You can be the healer if you leave the battle, and your bodyguard can replace Big Bear as the assault soldier." The guide extended an invitation to Chen Luo.

"No need. I'm currently focused on studying puppetry and have no plans to go down into the abyss yet. Meow." Chen Luo shook his head and said.

"Puppetry?"

"That is, making dolls. Meow," Chen Luo said.

“Hmm…” The guide fell into deep thought.

"what happened?"

"Traveler, how is your skill in puppetry now?" the guide asked.

"I know a little bit...meow."

“It’s impossible for me to know a little bit. My Chen Luo’s puppetry skills are unparalleled in the world,” Bai Zhi said, standing in front of Chen Luo.

"Unparalleled in the world... Never mind, knowing a little is enough." The guide glanced at Bai Zhi for a moment before turning to look at Chen Luo.

“Traveler, let’s make a deal,” the guide said.

"What deal? Meow."

"I'll give you a clue to a puppeteer's certificate; in return, you help me save someone," the guide said.

"A clue to the Puppeteer's Professional Certificate? Meow." Chen Luo's heart skipped a beat.

“That’s right, and we’ve already collected six clues; only the last one remains to be found.” The guide nodded.

"You know what a clue is, right?"

"I don't know. Meow." Chen Luo shook his head.

"The so-called clues are a unique method used by various beings in the abyss passages to find extremely valuable items. Each clue is unique, and collecting seven clues allows you to find a treasure location. That's why there's a saying that collecting seven clues can summon a [Divine Dragon]," Bai Zhi explained from the side.

“But Captain, we searched through six abyssal passages to find all the clues to these puppeteer's professional certificates,” the vice-captain said from the side.

"Alright, that's enough. There's still one last clue we haven't gathered. Besides, are you a puppeteer? This puppeteer's certificate will eventually have to be given away, won't it? And aren't you going to ask me who I want him to save?" the guide said.

"who?"

"Escort the spirit." After the guide finished speaking, the lantern that Chen Luo had placed on the table slowly flew up and landed in the guide's hand. Then, a soul actually floated out of the lantern.

"Xiao Ling? Is this her soul?" the vice-captain said with extreme surprise and excitement.

“Yes, when she died, I extracted her soul and hid it inside the Soul Lamp. But only her upper body remains. So, I hope the Traveler, who is skilled at making puppets, can help me complete Xiao Ling's body. In return, I will give you all six clues,” the guide said to Chen Luo.

“Deal. Meow.” Chen Luo said decisively.

Chapter 801 [The Shining Unorthodox Trioctahedron]?

“Xiao Ling’s soul is in my hands, but a soul needs a body to reside in. However, Xiao Ling was cut in half at the waist, and the remaining half of her body should have perished in the explosion. The most important thing to do now is to restore her body and then return her soul to its place. This way, there is a possibility of resurrection. At that time, we may need Chen Luo’s help.” The guide looked at Chen Luo.

“No problem. As long as I have a complete body and soul, I can combine them together. Meow.” Chen Luo nodded.

Chen Luo had done this kind of thing before.

"Then I'll leave it to you. Do you have any further objections?" The guide looked at the vice-captain.

"No, no, thank you, Captain." The vice-captain nodded quickly.

Then the vice-captain looked at the half of the body that had been sealed away, his eyes filled with tenderness.

If Chen Luo's guess is correct, these two must be somewhat related.

"They're already engaged, no need to speculate. And she's the original healer I was talking about in the team."

Curiosity is human nature; not only Chen Luo, but also Bai Zhi and Su Yuan were very curious.

Therefore, the guide directly explained the relationship between the two to prevent these people from making unfounded assumptions.

"Give me three days. After three days, bring your soul to retrieve your body, and I will help you combine the two. Meow," Chen Luo said to the guide.

"Three days? That'll be quick," the guide nodded.
