Their commission was suspicious.

"How can this be the same? Death is not a pleasant process." Unexpectedly, the memory entity Mebius, whom Chen Luo had originally regarded as a teammate, turned around and betrayed Chen Luo.

"No way, Mebius, you're the kind of person who dies every time you have nothing better to do, and you have the nerve to talk to me like that?" Chen Luo was shocked.

“Why are you embarrassed? I’m saying this because I care about you. Your own death and the death of someone you care about are two completely different things, do you understand?” Möbius floated over to Chen Luo’s side and poked him as he spoke.

"Ouch, I'm not used to you caring about me so much," Chen Luo said, clutching his chest.

"Oh, by the way, where is your dead body again? Let me borrow it to study it," Möbius said casually.

"...I suspect that besides worrying about my life or death, you were also lusting after my body. On a physical level. But your plan failed; I've already fed myself to the Infinite Serpent," Chen Luo said, spreading his hands.

"Tch. In short, unless there are special circumstances or unavoidable factors, it's best not to attempt death lightly," Möbius, the professional at dying, said solemnly.

"Understood." Although it felt strange to be lectured by Mebius on this matter, Chen Luo accepted the suggestion.

"Good to know." Möbius glanced at Chen Luo before returning to his seat.

After hearing the reason, everyone in the bar went about their own business.

If you just accidentally die, then it's fine. But if you're beaten to death, you'll inevitably have to gather a group of people to get revenge.

After all, even disregarding her relationship with Chen Luo, how could anyone feel at ease just eating and drinking for free at a bar?

Except for Wendy.

[Ding! Mission complete]

Chen Luo was taken aback upon hearing the notification.

What task has been completed?

Before Chen Luo could even check the mission prompt, he saw Liu Wenxuan walking down, clutching his cheek and looking pained.

"Oh, congratulations, Wenxuan, you've finally become a master blacksmith." Chen Luo greeted him.

"I have finally become a master forger." Liu Wenxuan was moved to tears.

Although forging is a skill where practice is more important than knowledge, Liu Wenxuan already had a wealth of practical knowledge, which is why he was able to accumulate experience and eventually become a forging master.

"Oh, right. You might not believe it, but I've become a Grandmaster forgeer. Would you like another loaf of bread?" Just as Liu Wenxuan breathed a sigh of relief, Chen Luo suddenly said.

"Huh? I just finished eating those master-level breads." Liu Wenxuan was instantly dumbfounded.

And how did you become a master blacksmith?

"Just tell me if you want to eat the Blacksmith Master's Memory Bread."

"I'd like to. But if I may ask, how many memory breads do I need this time?" Liu Wenxuan asked cautiously.

"Not much, roughly calculated, at least 5 times, and there is no upper limit."

"..." Upon hearing this, Liu Wenxuan almost vomited.

Liu Wenxuan never wants to eat bread again in his life.

[Ding! You have a new request!]

"Even though you say no, your body is still very honest," Chen Luo said, patting Liu Wenxuan on the shoulder.

Anyway, the task is there, but...

[Do you remember how many slices of bread you've eaten?]: Give the memory bread imprinted with the knowledge of a master forging expert to Liu Wenxuan and supervise him to finish eating it.

Rewards: 1000 Primogems + [Forging Skill Breakthrough Stone] (can increase your forging skill proficiency by one level) + 20 points of favorability with Liu Wenxuan.

Difficulty: Four stars

It must be said that although the reward is perfect, it is somewhat targeted.

It's hard to say whether it was intentional or not.

"But I really have no interest in forging at all. How come I went from knowing nothing about forging to becoming a master forger in just two days?" Chen Luo was completely baffled.

Chapter 884 Arya's Yet Another disastrous Act

My name is Arya. Although I sometimes make small mistakes, I am essentially a weak, pitiful, and helpless girl.

Because of a very common mistake that anyone could make, he was tricked into selling himself by a devil disguised as a weakling.

To be honest, although I did make a small mistake, wasn't it because you seduced me?

It takes two to tango. If you had acted stronger, or even just revealed your identity, how could I have made a mistake? So it's all the fault of the lamplighter.

Friends, flies don't land on eggs without cracks.

You tell me, isn't this lantern bearer deliberately pretending to be so weak just to get people to attack him?

"So these are your last words?" Chen Luo sat at the bar, quietly watching Arya perform.

When Arya first entered the bar, she was amazed and shocked by the fact that the bar door could appear anytime, anywhere. Although Arya was directly turned into a puppet by Chen Luo and became Chen Luo's puppet.

However, Arya did not have permission to view the group network. Arya herself was unaware that she had become Chen Luo's puppet, and therefore harbored a strong sense of resistance.

Evil people will be punished by other evil people; one must be prepared to deal with bad people.

Making a bad person live in perpetual despair is not the most severe punishment. The best way to plunge someone into the abyss of despair is to occasionally throw them a glimmer of hope when they are in despair, and then, just when they are about to succeed, to inflict even deeper despair upon them.

However, this would cause some trouble, so very few people would be able to receive this honor.

Arya was fortunate enough to get this opportunity because of her identity.

So when Arya realized that Fran was no longer able to hurt herself after entering the bar, and after understanding the current state of the bar, she began to perform a heartbreaking act there.

Arya "accidentally" learns that the people in the bar can travel to each other's worlds, so Arya conceives a daring idea—to escape to other worlds.

Although the journey may be filled with unimaginable hardships, it is still better than spending all my time with Fran, that little devil.

Furthermore, since Chen Luo is General Esdeath's younger brother, it proves that Chen Luo should have a significant advantage in his own world.

But that doesn't mean Chen Luo has the same advantage in other worlds. Maybe if I escape to another world, I can get rid of the control of Chen Luo, the devil among devils.

To be honest, coupled with Arya's delicate face, tearful expression, and energetic performance, it is indeed easy to feel pity for her.

“No, this is not a will, it is just a weak girl’s rebellion against the injustice of fate,” Arya said with a firm gaze.

"Aren't the patrons of this bar supposed to be safe from harming each other? So don't even think about silencing me with force." This was something Arya overheard by chance.

Arya's eyes were indeed firm enough, determined not to succumb to the tyranny of Fran and Chen Luo.

“That’s right. It’s true that bar patrons can’t hurt each other, which is key to ensuring the bar can operate fairly.” Chen Luo nodded.

"But the problem is, I'm the store manager."

"Can the store manager attack a customer?" Arya was so frightened by Chen Luo's words that she took a step back.

Seriously? You're the store manager, you have special privileges, why didn't you say so earlier?

Although Chen Luo has never shown any combat power outside of controlling the Imperial Arms, even if Chen Luo were an ordinary boy of the same age, Elia would still be no match for him.

Moreover, Chen Luo also possesses the Soul Lamp.

“Theoretically, it’s possible, but I’ve never done it,” Chen Luo shook his head.

Aside from occasionally using his "Friendship Revolver" to randomly select a lucky audience member, Chen Luo rarely actually attacks his customers.

"Phew." A glimmer of hope suddenly ignited in Arya's heart.

"Please, everyone, save me! If anyone can lend me a hand, I will repay you by working like a slave for you!" Arya pleaded pitifully.

"After watching for so long, I've figured it out. It really is you, Chen Luo, bullying ordinary, weak girls again, isn't it? It's absolutely despicable." Yakumo Yukari stepped forward, winked at Chen Luo, and then angrily rebuked him.

"What are you saying? What kind of talk is that? When have I ever done such a thing? Although we haven't known each other for long, you should know my character. Why would I do such a thing? Don't underestimate the girl next to you. She's not as gentle and cute as she seems on the surface," Chen Luo said.

“But can’t I just like good-looking people? And she’s so cute, how could she do anything outrageous?” Yakumo Yukari said.

"Big sister, you must believe me. I'm really innocent." After seeing Yakumo Yukari speak up for her, Arya felt like she had found a lifeline.

My thinking was right. Even if Chen Luo seemed to be the manager of this bar, he couldn't use his position to bully the customers.

At most, they'll just drive them away.

After all, the customer is king.

"Yes, I believe you. My name is Yakumo Yukari, what's your name?" Yakumo Yukari said, patting Aria on the shoulder.

"!!!"

"Yakumo Yukari, you're that legendary, ruthless, and terrifying youkai sage who's the mastermind behind all of Gensokyo?!" Arya stammered, terrified upon hearing Yukari's name.

At the same time, he couldn't help but take two steps back.

"...Chen Luo, how many bad things did you say about me in that world?" Yakumo Yukari asked with a dark face.

I was even thinking of helping you out by putting on an act, and you're telling me you're even badmouthing your own teammates?

"Ahem, this is called artistic embellishment," Chen Luo said somewhat awkwardly.

Why did you say your name?

The play can't go on anymore, can it?

"Chen Luo!" Yakumo Yukari shouted angrily.

"Tell me, what other bad things did you say about me?"

"Don't be so angry. I haven't even told you your real age, so how can it be considered that I'm talking badly about you?"

“…Little sister, how about coming home with me? I’ll definitely help you get out of this hellhole.” Yukari Yakumo turned to Aria and said.

"..." Still looking at the beautiful, kind, and somewhat eerie Yakumo Yukari in front of her, Aria was so frightened that she took a few steps back and bumped into a soft body.

"Alright, Yukari Yakumo, stop lying to me." A voice as beautiful as heavenly music rang out.

Arya turned her head and saw a beautiful woman with long black hair, as beautiful as a painting, with no flaws whatsoever.

She was dressed elegantly, poised and graceful...

“You can call me Taketori. If you don’t mind, how about coming to my house? To be honest, I have some issues with Yakumo Yukari. I enjoy seeing her dislike me but unable to do anything about it. I can take you in, as long as you come to this bar with me every day to annoy Yakumo Yukari, how about that?” Kaguya Houraisan said with a smile.

Since it was unclear whether that bastard Chen Luo had incorporated her into the so-called backstory, making her name a representative of some evil force, Kaguya Houraisan didn't even reveal her real name.

But Kaguya Houraisan wasn't lying; she did indeed have some conflicts with Yukari Yakumo.

Just two days ago, Yukari Yakumo said she wanted to try using Soulfire to see if she could burn Kaguya Houraisan.

Now, it is clearly a battle for control.

In Kaguya Houraisan's eyes, Arya before her was essentially a Soul Lamp.

Whoever gets Elia can go back to Chen Luo and ask for a wish.

Kaguya Houraisan is an extremely intelligent woman, not much less so than Yukari Yakumo, after all, she is also a princess of the moon who is a disciple of Eirin Yagokoro, the brain of the moon.

Although Kaguya Houraisan didn't understand why Chen Luo harbored such malice towards this girl in particular, wanting to give her hope only to plunge her back into despair, she didn't mind helping him out.

Generally speaking, someone who can be treated so maliciously by Chen Luo is definitely not a good person.

They could even be extremely wicked.

Therefore, Kaguya Houraisan was very curious.

"Y-yes." Arya, captivated by Kaguya Houraisan's beauty, stammered.

"Mmm, good girl." Kaguya Houraisan patted Aria's head.

Such an ordinary action made Arya's face blush slightly.

Seeing this, Kaguya Houraisan gradually regained her confidence in her beauty.

How did Princess Kaguya, who was once famous throughout the world, end up as a comedic relief character in a bar?

Kaguya Hōrai's beauty is not limited to the opposite sex; she can even attract people of the same sex.

However, bars are full of, or mostly full of, people with strong wills.

Even the very few ordinary people, like the saintly Hui, are not to be trifled with.

The fact that Hui's name contains the word "sage" tells us that such seductive techniques will not work on her.

As a result, Kaguya Houraisan did not receive any special treatment in the bar. Although Kaguya Houraisan enjoyed this environment without any special treatment, after staying there for a long time, she inevitably became less confident in her appearance.

So Yukari Yakumo quietly watched as Kaguya Houraisan led Aria through the bar doors, preparing to leave.

Finally, Kaguya Houraisan even gave Yukari Yakumo a provocative look.

It's hard to say whether Kaguya Houraisan was too immersed in the role or was settling a personal score.
