Their commission was suspicious.

"Sigh, there's nothing we can do about it. You're just lucky. As the Honkai phenomenon worsens, it will eventually get completely out of control. So, it's not a bad idea to use games to educate the general public about the basic types of Honkai Beasts. Of course, not now," Dr. Mei sighed.

According to Prometheus's calculations, there are at least 10 Herrschers in this generation. As the number of Herrschers increases, the destruction they cause to the world will inevitably increase as well. It seems only a matter of time before human society loses its order.

"Moreover, these Honkai Beast cards you made can be used to educate new recruits. I just hope that these recruits won't neglect their training because they are too addicted to the game, or underestimate these Honkai Beasts."

"Of course, the most crucial thing is having high-level support for your ideas; that's the most important thing," Dr. Mei said helplessly.

"Then I need administrator privileges. Is that alright?" Chen Luo asked Dr. Mei.

“Theoretically speaking, this is feasible, but if you are given administrator privileges, it can’t be considered a punishment, right?” Dr. Mei asked rhetorically.

"But this is my life's work," Chen Luo said.

Although Cannon Fodder Number One had already told him about the proposal and he had agreed, he still had to put on a convincing act.

"Alright then, since you want administrator privileges, and I don't think this is a punishment, let's play a game of Seven Saints Summoning. If you win, I'll give you administrator privileges," Dr. Mei said, adjusting his glasses.

"I refuse."

"Oh? Why?" Dr. Mei had assumed Chen Luo wouldn't refuse.

"I can't beat them. I never play cards with people who are smarter than me," Chen Luo said confidently.

"So what do you want to do?" Dr. Mei asked.

"How about Kevin and I have a Seven Saints Summoning contest?" Chen Luo said, pointing at Kevin.

“…Lo, you just said you never play cards with people who are smarter than you,” Kevin said after a long pause.

"correct."

"..."

Chapter 908 Chen Luo: I summon my fist in an attack stance

“Yes, you know what a weakness is, but Lolo, I have to remind you. Kevin might not be able to beat you at cards, but he can beat you at other games,” Mei said earnestly.

"You can't say that," Chen Luo said. "I said I never play chess with people whose IQ is higher than mine, but I didn't say Kevin's IQ is lower than mine. We're about evenly matched, but we can't compare to people with off-the-charts IQs like Mei, Möbius, and Vervière."

Given that Kevin was indeed stronger than he appeared to be, Chen Luo decided to back down a bit.

After all, this is Kevin; shouldn't we at least give him some face?

"But as the game's developer, you must know this game very well, while Kevin has only been playing it for a short time. It's too unfair for Kevin to have a duel between the two of you." It's clear that May is protecting Kevin right now.

You can say Kevin's academic qualifications aren't very high, after all, Kevin doesn't have many doctoral titles, but you can't say Kevin has a low IQ.

Kevin and May are boyfriend and girlfriend, so who else would May side with if not Kevin?

"Möbius, Möbius. There are two guys ganging up on someone over here." Chen Luo looked around.

“There’s no way to find Mebius, but there is someone to find Alicia.” Alicia sat down next to her and held up her juice.

“Then you should sit down over there. Kevin, although we don’t see each other often, I thought we were good friends. How could I possibly take such a big advantage when I used the Seven Saints Summoning to fight you?” Chen Luo turned to look at Kevin.

"In short, no real me offline. If we're going to compete, let's compete in the Seven Saints Summoning. I've at least created opportunities for you two to get close. You have no idea how tiring it is that every time I finish a fusion surgery, I have to occasionally suppress Kevin's abilities." Chen Luo started playing the emotional card.

“But you only suppressed it once,” Kevin finally spoke.

It's obvious that Kevin is on May's side, and since May is going to test Chen Luo, Kevin can't let himself become a weak link, right?

Kevin never holds May back.

"Suppressing once is still suppressing, so how about I give you a suppression opportunity right now if all else fails?" Chen Luo said.

"But you just had fusion surgery, is that alright? Don't push yourself." Kevin asked, frowning.

"Sigh, we're such good friends, and for you, I can't even bear the cold and exhaustion?" Chen Luo waved his hand and said.

"..." Kevin's expression now showed a hint of attraction.

"Alright, stop teasing Kevin. He might actually be tempted if you keep saying that." Mei snapped her fingers, interrupting Chen Luo and Kevin's conversation.

"Tch." Chen Luo scoffed, annoyed that his attempts to persuade her had failed.

"..." by Kevin.

"In short, it's impossible for you and Kevin to have a fair duel using the Seven Sages Summoning. After all, this is a test for you, so of course we'll give you some more difficult challenges," May said.

"How about this, let Kevin and I duel, and Mei, you can watch from the sidelines. You can assist Kevin, but you can't go on the field yourself, how about that?" Chen Luo made another suggestion.

"So what's the difference between this and your duel with me summoning the Seven Saints?" Although Mei was very smart, she still felt a little strange about Chen Luo's unnecessary actions.

What are you after?

“You don’t understand, do you? If you help Kevin, I at least have a chance of winning, but if you go up against me yourself, I don’t even have the thought of winning,” Chen Luo said directly.

Please, the person in front of us is the greatest scientist and leader of the previous civilization—May!

“Alright, if you insist on doing it this way, it’s not impossible.” Mei nodded.

“Actually, I can see that your game is still in its early stages. The strongest point of your game is its development potential. As more and more cards are added in the future, there will definitely be more and more playstyles. However, right now there are still only a few playstyles, and the number of cards is not large, so most of the time you can only fight head-on. In the early duels, luck is more important,” Mei said.

"That's right." Chen Luo nodded.

After Chen Luo, Kevin, and Mei all agreed to fight in this way, Chen Luo and Kevin touched the communicators on their left hands together and began their duel.

Alicia, who was very curious, also came over.

Sitting opposite Chen Luo were Kevin, the strongest fusion warrior of the previous civilization, and Mei, the most famous scientist and leader of the previous civilization.

On Chen Luo's side were Alicia, the most beautiful Herrscher of Man from the previous civilization, and Chen Luo, an unknown scientist and an unknown Herrscher from the previous civilization.

Kevin and May are a perfect match, and as for Chen Luo, he's already grateful that Alicia isn't causing him any trouble.

Chen Luo wasn't saying that Alicia would cause him any trouble, but the key point is that Alicia probably hasn't even understood the rules of the Seven Saints Summoning yet, so what help could she possibly give Chen Luo?

"Hmph, Kevin, don't blame me, I had no choice." Chen Luo smiled wickedly as he watched Kevin assemble his initial cards under Mei's guidance.

Since Chen Luo is the developer and current administrator of this game, he still has certain minor privileges, such as... using the North Wind Wolf King, which is absolutely impossible for players to use at this stage.

A wolf king with both ice and wind attributes...

Damn it!

"Why can't I use any of the hidden characters?" Chen Luo looked at his communicator terminal in disbelief.

"If you're thinking of using the North Wind Wolf King, I advise you to save your breath. Calling you in to say your game was going to be confiscated was just a notification; in reality, Prometheus has already taken over your game management. I have to admit, Luo, you're quite impressive for developing your own AI, you have considerable talent in programming, but you're still too green in front of Prometheus." Mei, sitting opposite Chen Luo, adjusted her glasses and said.

"What? No way? Prometheus? To be honest, this is just a normal game. Why would it need to use Prometheus's precious computing power?" Chen Luo was stunned.

"Alright, don't be so surprised or sad. Prometheus's intelligence level and computing power definitely surpass your AI, so the cards it creates will be much fairer, more complete, and more tailored to the user. This is a good thing," May said.

"As for the issue of computing power, simply maintaining the operation of the Seven Saints Summoning is very simple for Prometheus." A phantom image of a silver-haired loli suddenly appeared on the computer next to Dr. May's office.

"Hi, Prometheus, long time no see," Alicia greeted the loli-shaped girl.

“Alice, you just submitted your quest to me this morning,” Prometheus said expressionlessly.

"You are Prometheus?" Chen Luo looked the artificial intelligence in front of him up and down. It had never appeared in front of him before.

“Nice to meet you, Mr. Lothar.” Prometheus nodded slightly.

“Although it’s rare to see Prometheus in human form, there are probably traces of Prometheus everywhere in life, you just haven’t noticed them. And relatively few people have actually seen this image of Prometheus,” Alicia explained.

"Yes, I really like you, Prometheus," Chen Luo said after staring intently at Prometheus for a while.

“Of course, I’d prefer if you didn’t touch my original AI,” Chen Luo continued.

"Huh? Lolo's hobbies are quite strange." Alicia looked at Chen Luo with some surprise.

Prometheus also had the same expression, except that Prometheus's surprise was simulated.

"To be precise, I like anything that isn't human. Like dolls, like artificial intelligence," Chen Luo explained, meeting the curious gazes of the crowd.

"why?"

"Of course there is no true love in the three-dimensional world; only the two-dimensional world can warm my heart."

“Okay, I understand. I will have Prometheus pass this conversation on to Dr. Mebius,” Dr. Mebius said calmly from the side.

“…So…so vicious.” Chen Luo looked at Mei in disbelief.

“In a sense, Lolo, you like everything that isn’t human, so do you also like fusion warriors? Like a certain beautiful girl?” Alicia pointed to herself.

"I like you... and everyone else."

"Hmm, never mind, I won't ask who else is in that group. Let's just start the match quickly," Alicia said with a sigh.

"Damn it, after Prometheus banned the North Wind Wolf King, I can only use ordinary characters to fight. Sigh, Kevin, please, go easy on me." Chen Luo said helplessly as he started a match with Kevin.

"Prometheus, begin the live simulation," May suddenly announced.

After Mei finished speaking, a series of holographic images suddenly appeared in Mei's office, taking Chen Luo, Kevin, Alicia, and Dr. Mei to a fantastical space.

However, this is just a VR technology; in reality, Chen Luo and the others are still inside Dr. Mei's office.

After the on-site simulation began, three figures appeared around Chen Luo.

Beibeilong

Messenger of Heaven

Heimdall

Just kidding, as a Honkai-themed version of Seven Sages Summoning, why can't it have monsters native to Honkai? Right?

Chen Luo had already said that he would carry out a world-based modification for the Seven Saints Summoning, but in order to avoid any unnecessary misunderstandings, he did not create things like imaginary divine remains that could be observed in reality.

……

"I have to admit, you two are stronger now." Chen Luo said somewhat unwillingly when his Beibei Dragon had only one point of health left, but the opponent's Ice Pig had five points of health left, and there was also a three-health Shesha in the back.

"So you're going to admit defeat?" May, who was standing next to Kevin as his advisor, asked.

"No, impossible. A true warrior dares to face the bleakness of life. How could you so easily sever the bond between me and Bellenas? Bellenas, grant me power! It's my turn now. Draw a card!" Looking at Bellenas, who had only one drop of health left, Chen Luo was filled with confidence.

"Oh, is there any hope of turning the tide?" Mei looked earnestly at the spirited Chen Luo.

Chen Luo drew two cards from his Duel Disk (provided by Prometheus) and looked at them nervously.

"Great! I knew the bond between me and Bellenas was not something you could easily break!" Chen Luo exclaimed with delight when he saw the contents of the card.

"Kevin, your life is as fragile as a candle in the wind! Let me end your life this round!" Chen Luo said confidently, holding the magic card.

"..." Kevin didn't understand why Chen Luo was acting so excitedly, to the point that Kevin began to wonder if he should also cooperate with Chen Luo.

"I summon my fist in an attack stance," Chen Luo shouted, raising the card in his hand.

"Hmm?" Kevin tilted his head.

Kevin was stunned for only 0.1 seconds, and the next moment the scenery in front of him was a flower.

Kevin suddenly found himself in a special space.

This space was almost identical to the previous one, but the biggest problem was that Alicia had disappeared, Mei had disappeared, and the monsters summoned by VR had also vanished, leaving only himself and Chen Luo.

"Kevin, be careful, we're about to go through the attack check. If you die here, you'll lose the duel outside!" Chen Luo stood opposite Kevin with his arms crossed.

"Hmm?" Kevin was increasingly puzzled by the current situation.

What happened?

[Duel Master] (Achievement): Only those who survive to the end are true dueling masters. If you can't win at cards, then compete in real combat strength—real, offline!

Effect: You can quickly learn any card game and become a master in no time.

Special skills:

[I summon my fist in attack stance]: Duels are not such inconvenient things! This card can be used when you are about to lose in a card game. After using this card, you can directly punch (or punch several times) your opponent in the real world. If your opponent surrenders or falls unconscious, the user of the skill will win immediately; otherwise, the card battle continues. Alternatively, you and your opponent can be pulled into a special space to fight. If one party dies or loses within this special space, the other party will immediately win.

(Life is worth gambling, but games can't be lost!)

In a sense, this is similar to a skill that can overcome fate, but with a chance of failure.

"Hey Kevin, I respect you as a man. Here's the deal: if you can take this punch, I'll admit defeat on the spot!"

Just as Chen Luo finished speaking, Kevin suddenly felt a shadow sweep over his head.

Kevin silently looked up, and then... Kevin saw Earth, a golden Earth.

I raise my fist in an attack stance!

"This punch is the size of the Earth, can you block it?!"
