Their commission was suspicious.

Chapter 918 The Mastermind Behind the Scenes - Chen Luo

After receiving a seemingly plausible but ultimately unsatisfactory answer, Yvette began to satisfy Chen Luo's curiosity by recounting her daily work at the church.

Everyone is very curious about the ordinary things outside of their profession and reality, and Chen Luo is no exception.

Although she was telling Chen Luo about her ordinary life, Yvette seemed somewhat distracted.

Yvette was still pondering Chen Luo's words.

Although Chen Luo's words just now sounded like he was criticizing Yvette, Yvette was still quite familiar with Chen Luo.

Chen Luo always likes to answer important questions with unserious answers.

Chen Luo is not an exhibitionist. Although the group network connecting all the dolls updates a large amount of information every day, including Chen Luo's information, Chen Luo only publishes his basic information on the group network.

For example, Chen Luo didn't disclose much about his age, birthday, gender, habits, hobbies, personality, and other private information, only giving a general outline.

Chen Luo didn't even write down what his parents did for a living, what their names were, or his home address.

However, the habit of answering overly serious questions with unconventional language was something Yvette herself summarized.

Others probably noticed this to some extent as well, such as Mebius, who had been fooled by Chen Luo using this method many times.

Therefore... in Yvette's opinion, Chen Luo's answer just now was not just a joke.

Sitting there playing cards and sitting here being cared for are two completely different treatments.

Although Yvette doubted whether Chen Luo cared about her, the difference was probably that one was one of her own people and the other was her guest.

Among the few personality traits and habits that Chen Luo revealed, there was one piece of information about the doll's attitude.

Blindly believing that every doll-like person is definitely not Chen Luo's personality.

However, for puppeteers, puppets are indeed more trustworthy.

At least initially, the dolls received better treatment from Chen Luo than ordinary customers.

Even though Yvette had some friction with Chen Luo in the past, after becoming Chen Luo's puppet, she could easily break through the defenses of her own people.

At least, it has some value, doesn't it?

Yvette felt that if, as she had inquired, she hadn't had any initial conflict with Chen Luo and had come to the bar on her own not long after, then she and Chen Luo should have been able to become good friends.

Chen Luo has some strange and unusual insights into making friends, and he is especially good at dealing with troubled children.

"Your daily life seems pretty boring." Chen Luo was a little disappointed after listening to Yvette describe her daily routine.

Chen Luo had assumed that a judge like Yvette, the head of the Inquisition, would lead a thrilling and exciting life. He imagined her occasionally judging a demon, capturing a witch, or beating up a succubus. However, aside from cultivation, there seemed to be virtually no other fun activities.

“Chen Luo, I hope you understand one thing: in the spiritual world, no matter how thrilling and exciting our lives are, it can't compare to yours,” Yvette sighed.

Just kidding, if we're talking about thrills and excitement, who can beat you?

Although spending all his time in the bar was rather boring, the unexpected arrival of a newcomer would make Chen Luo's life far more thrilling and exciting than anyone else could imagine.

Perhaps this is one of the reasons why bars are so popular; even the most discerning customers will sit here obediently when they come to a bar.

Besides the high quality of the drinks and food offered by the bar, and the fact that it is safe enough, it is probably this sense of calm mixed with thrills and excitement that attracts them.

Yakumo Yukari is a typical example of this.

Since coming to the bar, Yukari Yakumo's sleep schedule has become irregular. She used to sleep for ten hours or so a day, but now her sleep time has been reduced by at least half.

"In short, based on my observations over this period, even if I were within the church and used the group network to communicate with you, I would definitely not be detected by the church. That's for sure. The gap between S-class and SS-class talents is probably greater than you imagine. And your puppet-making ability is probably the most concealed ability even among SS-class talents," Yvette said.

“With your abilities, if you really wanted to control the world, you might already be the hidden ruler of the world. But you yourself are the biggest weakness of your abilities,” Yvette said.

"Wait, what do you mean?" Chen Luo suspected that Yvette was making a personal attack on him.

"You're such a laid-back person. You don't even have the slightest intention to work hard in the spiritual world. You clearly possess the ability to be a behind-the-scenes manipulator, but you only use it to secure your life within your own little circle. How many S-level talents do you have under your command right now?" Yvette looked at Chen Luo with disapproval.

As Chen Luo's manifested puppet, Yvette usually doesn't show much, but she becomes extremely proactive when Chen Luo's interests are involved.

"Look at what you're saying, you're practically comparing me to a hopeless case. But being a mastermind in one world is enough. If I'm a mastermind in the previous civilization, and I'm still a mastermind when I return to the spiritual world, then what's the difference between the previous civilization and the spiritual world?" Chen Luo complained.

Chen Luo was undoubtedly the biggest mastermind behind the scenes in the previous civilization, an ambitious manipulator attempting to humanize the entire world, a Kami who rebuilt the world, and the most vicious and evil Herrscher...

It was because Chen Luo experienced this feeling once in another world that he disliked it.

It wasn't that Chen Luo disliked this identity, but rather that it felt exactly like working overtime.

The key issue is that the returns are extremely low.

If Chen Luo had the time and energy to create an entire world and do other commissions, he would have earned countless Origin Stones by now.

How can you assume that a world cannot be purchased with raw gems later on? Or that a world can be obtained through a lottery?

"It's not that you're a hopeless case, but your appearance rate in the main world is just too low. However, this is also a good thing. Although the separation between heaven and earth still exists, and the gods in places like Heaven, the Celestial Realm, and Mount Olympus cannot come down, there are also many powerful beings on the other side of the Abyss Passage, in that Abyss Plane."

"If you really stand out too much in the spiritual world, it's hard to guarantee that the Abyss Plane on the other side of the Abyss Passage won't have any other ideas. Moreover, this millennium is very different from other millennia, and it's hard to say whether the separation between heaven and man will be resolved ahead of schedule. Although your current strength is strong enough, it may still be a bit insufficient compared to veteran SS-level talents. After all, those veteran SS-level talents are at least over 1000 years old. Being honest is indeed not a problem."

Yvette, unusually, affirmed Chen Luo's statement.

Over this millennium, the world has been filled with changes. The opening of the Abyss Dimension allowed the main world to realize that it was not the only dimension, broadening its horizons. The wonders of the Abyss Passage have made the dimensions at both ends of the passage extremely covetous, and the Abyss Passage is rapidly enhancing the strength of both worlds.

Therefore, the rules that have been established since countless millennia ago may not necessarily remain unbroken this time either.

“Of course, the most important thing is that you have no shortage of channels to obtain resources. Rather than taking great risks in the main world to act as a behind-the-scenes manipulator and plunder the world's resources, it is much more profitable to explore other worlds,” Yvette added.

Although Chen Luo recently explored these worlds, none of them had as abundant resources as the main world, each of these worlds had some unique characteristics.

For example, the unique crafting methods of the numerous Dangerous Species and Imperial Arms in the world of Akame ga Kill!, the special characteristics of the afterlife itself, and the opportunity to open the gates to new worlds are all treasures that the main world cannot provide.

Most importantly, these anime worlds are mostly safe enough, well-known, and you know where to start.

Moreover, Chen Luo can quickly complete commissions and obtain raw stones by leveraging his intelligence advantage and diverse abilities.

"Come to think of it, I don't recall ever seeing you use spirit stones. You should have at least some top-grade spirit stones, so why do you never use them?" Yvette asked, somewhat puzzled.

"I used it," Chen Luo said.

"Where was it used?"

"Feed the little fox..." Chen Luo suddenly realized that apart from feeding the little fox, he hadn't really used any spirit stones.

Of course, this is also related to the fact that Chen Luo's current mainstream ability system is basically unrelated to spiritual energy.

The main systems currently embodying Chen Luo are the Herrscher system and other systems.

The Herrscher system uses Honkai energy, although it can also be powered by other energy sources. After the conceptualization, the transformation between spiritual power, Honkai energy, and magic power within Chen Luo's body has become very blurred.

But Chen Luo genuinely felt that, given his 200% Honkai energy adaptability, Honkai energy seemed to be slightly more useful than spiritual energy.

Honkai energy, or Honkai Omnipotent.

If Chen Luo's talent in cultivating spiritual energy is considered superior, then his talent in cultivating Honkai energy is at least super-superior.

This is the confidence that Chen Luo gained from 200% Honkai energy adaptability.

“I think I need to add something,” Yun Lian’er said after listening for a while.

"What would you like to add?"

"I think it's actually quite right that Lolo didn't cause trouble in the main world."

"Why?" Yvette looked at Yun Lian'er in confusion.

“Although this world hasn’t seen divine punishment for a long time, its absence doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist. You’ve probably forgotten that there’s something called the Heavenly Dao in this world,” Yun Lian’er said.

Divine punishment hasn't appeared for a long time, but you can't say it doesn't exist.

Otherwise, why do you think the numerous cultivation worlds like the Immortal Realm, Heaven, and Mount Olympus, which have countless SS-level talents and terrifying cultivators, would obediently enter a state of separation between heaven and man, hiding in their own blessed lands and refusing to come out?

Do they not want to come out? No, they are afraid to come out.

Furthermore, after Chen Luo obtained the River God talent, he was found by the Investiture of the Gods the first time he entered the main world.

Can you call this a coincidence?

Granting the position of River God of the main world to Chen Luo, who possessed the SSS-level River God talent, was tantamount to using the sword of the previous dynasty to kill the official of the current dynasty. The most crucial point was that this world actually succeeded in doing so.

At least Yun Lian'er personally felt that this matter was quite outrageous.

In Yun Lian'er's view, this reward for being granted divine status was both a reward and a warning.

The position of River God is yours, and the first spot for deification in the main world is yours. You are now the first and only one in this world who is truly the most dazzling. So don't cause any trouble under any other circumstances.

“I think Lolo’s current way of life is quite good. He doesn’t try to control the world, but because of the River God’s power, the whole world depends on Lolo. Even the church, which may have its first god in the near future, is no exception, is it?” In response to Yvette’s question, Yun Lian’er directly used the church as an example.

“Indeed, almost the entire world is now treating the River God, this great deity who can transport supplies between the upper and lower realms through rivers, with kindness.” Ivy nodded.

“But since we’ve come this far, I have something to remind you.” Yvette turned to look at Chen Luo.

"What is it?"

“You’ve been ignoring the church for days. You should at least accomplish one of these two things: finding the path to heaven and increasing your faith power. If the church didn’t not know your true identity, they would have come to you in person long ago,” Yvette said.

"Uh...you might not believe it, but I have indeed forgotten about the power of faith. However, I have always remembered about going to heaven, and I could have accomplished it a couple of days ago."

"But because your church's Angel of Death was sitting right next to me at the time, I didn't have time to go to Heaven in order to avoid revealing my identity. After the Angel of Death left, the things in the river were also fished out."

"So in the end, it wasn't me who was wrong, but your church," Chen Luo said logically.

"Hela, the Angel of Death?" Yvette said, stroking her chin.

"That's right, are you familiar with it?"

“Didn’t I tell you about Hela, the Angel of Death, before? I already said I’m not familiar with her,” Yvette shook her head.

"That's quite a coincidence, I know her very well," Chen Luo said.

"Oh, really?" Yvette looked at Chen Luo in surprise.

Yvette remembered that not long ago, Chen Luo had asked her about the white-haired, masked girl. At the time, Chen Luo didn't even know that the girl was called the Angel of Death.

We've become quite familiar with each other already?

You make friends really fast!

"Perhaps you could take a look at the entries about the Angel of Death recorded in the group network," Chen Luo suggested.

Within the network, various information and intelligence are updated daily in real time, including information about the Angel of Death.

However, Yvette has recently cut off almost all communication with the group network in order to avoid being exposed.

After hearing Chen Luo's words, Yvette glanced at the information in the group network.

"...Chen Luo, are you some kind of debt collector? And all you're collecting are debts of gratitude." Yvette complained after reading the information about the Angel of Death in the online community.

If it's a coincidence that it's related to one gifted person, and it's still a coincidence that it's related to two, then can you still call it a coincidence that it's related to three or four?

During your period of talent awakening, you must have accumulated far too many favors and obligations, right?

"how you said that?"

“There are no more than 100 S-class talents in the whole world right now. Do you know what the probability is that someone like you, before even awakening as a talent, has met and formed close relationships with at least 5 S-class talents?” Yvette looked Chen Luo up and down as if she were looking at some rare species.

Are you the real-life lucky koi?

"..." Chen Luo also felt it was quite a coincidence.

But maybe it's just a coincidence.

"Speaking of the Angel of Death, I've recently learned the reason why the Angel of Death came to Xinghai City. Would you like to hear it?" Perhaps thinking of something interesting, Yvette's lips curled into a smile.

Chapter 919 Yvette: Let's discuss our marriage. (Very loudly)

"What's the reason?" Yvette guessed correctly; Chen Luo was genuinely curious about it.

Or rather, this was one of the questions Chen Luo most wanted to ask Yvette when she returned to the bar.

Chen Luo was really curious about why Bai Zhi had returned.

"We are searching for the River God." Yvette didn't mince words and stated the matter directly.

"..."

"It's a long-running TV series, we're looking for the River God," said Liu Wenxuan, who had been munching on bread the whole time.

"A sudden sense of fear of being controlled by the river god welled up in my heart. I remembered the days when my master entrusted me to find the river god. During those days, I traveled all over the country and my legs almost broke." Su Yuan hugged her arms when she heard the words "find the river god".
