Their commission was suspicious.

In a sense, Aponia is now truly giving it her all.
And faith is one of [all].
[Ding! You have a new request!]
[Happiness]: Is happiness obtained by sacrificing oneself for others true happiness? Having made certain preparations, Aponia only hopes to see the children again in the future and let them live a happy life; she asks for nothing more.
Reward: 800 Primogems + 50 Aponia Affinity
Difficulty: 3 stars
(Pah, scumbag!)
"..."
What the heck is this note?
Who's the scumbag?
[Ding! Mission complete]
"..."
To be fair, this was the fastest task Chen Luo completed.
Having gotten 800 Primogems for free, I also managed to get Aponia's discount up to 5%, and even had an extra 10 points of affinity...
"Don't worry, I will never go back on my word. If I say I will let the children live a happy life, I will let them live a happy life. But I think we have something else to talk about."
"What else would you like to talk about? Feel free to bring it up." Aponia breathed a sigh of relief after hearing that Chen Luo hadn't backed down.
"...Don't talk to me like that. I really don't want to do anything to you. I just want to be a researcher in peace. As long as you keep my secret, I will grant your wish," Chen Luo said quite sincerely.
Chen Luo even directly used the power of the Law of Knowledge.
The issue is no longer whether or not to maintain good relations with Aponia; it's now a matter of Chen Luo not just standing by and watching his threat level in the previous civilization skyrocket.
Chen Luo's threat level had been quite stable recently, even when Chen Luo and Aponia were talking about the silk thread, until Chen Luo made that big win.
Even though the threat level increase is still not enough to break through the limit, it's best to lower the threat level if possible, because there will always be some unexpected mistakes in the future.
These tolerance levels are for things that cannot be avoided in the future.
"Really?" Aponia looked at the sincere Chen Luo, a hint of doubt in her eyes.
Could it be that I misunderstood?
“Really. Let’s be friends like before. Don’t worry, I’m here to help you, not to hurt you.” Chen Luo extended his hand to Aponia.
"I hope so." Recalling that Chen Luo had never done anything excessive in her memory, Aponia gradually relaxed.
"If you don't believe me, you can go to the Möbius Laboratory and ask around. I always grant requests. Whether it's Klein wanting milk tea, Cangxuan Danzhu wanting breakfast, or the two of them need me to help them with their punishments, I try my best to satisfy them and have almost never asked for any payment." Chen Luo reiterated his assurance.
Chen Luo was truly grateful that the great success of this throw made Aponia firmly believe in Chen Luo's faith, rather than that Chen Luo intended to plot against Aponia.
Great success is truly magical; it always adds some extra elements and makes that person completely believe it.
The last great success for Li Sushang was with the guardian spirit, so much so that even now, Li Sushang still has no doubt that Chen Luo is her guardian spirit, and no matter what Chen Luo says, Li Sushang will not change her mind.
In Aponia's case, this manifests as a matter of faith.
The description, "[Aponia ultimately succumbed to your tyranny, and for the sake of the children in the sanatorium, Aponia decided to sacrifice herself to the tiger.]," is Aponia's own imagination after being persuaded, and this idea can be changed.
Chen Luo should be thankful that the extra reward was faith, not this concept.
Otherwise, Chen Luo would probably never be able to change the impression he left on Aponia.
Big successes are sometimes quite reliable, as the extra rewards they provide are those that don't have any side effects.
Having a believer can't be a bad thing, right?
“Is that so? I’ll check. I’m sorry, I may have misunderstood you,” Aponia apologized.
Aponia is a reasonable person. If she had made such a fool of herself because of a misunderstanding, she would never have taken her anger out on Chen Luo.
"It's good that you understand. Oh, by the way, if you go to the Möbius lab to confirm this matter, don't go to Dr. Möbius about the copying punishment, because it was Dr. Möbius who imposed the punishment, and I was secretly helping Cangxuan Danzhu copy it. If Dr. Möbius finds out about this copying punishment, Cangxuan Danzhu and the other girl will definitely suffer a great loss," Chen Luo added.
Chen Luo finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Long live understanding!
“Luo, it’s wrong of you to help Cangxuan and Danzhu copy the punishments. Dr. Mebius must have her reasons for punishing Cangxuan and Danzhu. Spoiling them like this won’t make the punishments serve their purpose.” After gradually returning to normal, Aponia started nagging like a mother again.
"...You should talk to Cangxuan and Danzhu about these things, not come to me. I'm not one to refuse people," Chen Luo said.
Aponia is finally back to normal.
“Well… by the way, about the children, when can I see them?” Aponia wanted to say something more, but then she remembered something more important.
"Who knows? Maybe... it could take 5 years. Or maybe it'll happen in the next moment. I won't break my promise, but it might take some time. I never ask for a deposit when I help others fulfill their wishes, so it's okay to believe me, isn't it? You won't lose anything," Chen Luo said.
“I understand, I will wait. Perhaps this is the punishment for a sinner like me; waiting is always long and painful,” Aponia prayed, bowing her head.
"..."
Chen Luo could feel the little bit of faith power he had just received from Aponia.
Aponia is serious.
Aponia truly felt like a sinner.
Perhaps gaining Aponia as a follower is the greatest achievement of today.
Because Aponia truly and frequently repents, she also truly and frequently generates the power of faith.
"Ring!" Just as Chen Luo was feeling bewildered by Aponia's ability to enter a state of repentance anytime, anywhere and begin offering the power of faith, the doorbell rang at Chen Luo's house.
After a single sound, the door was pushed open.
"Doctor, and Aponia too? You've come to visit as well?" Hua entered with practiced ease.
"This is your lunch, Doctor." Hua also placed the lunch she had brought back from the cafeteria for Chen Luo on the table.
"Just leave it here, I'll eat it in a bit," Chen Luo said.
"Okay, Doctor, I'm going to take a shower now. We'll talk later." Hua said as he unbuttoned his coat and skillfully passed through the door between the two dorm rooms, returning to his own.
"Your dorm rooms are connected?" Aponia asked, somewhat surprised.
"To be precise, the three dorm rooms are connected. There's also Möbius." Chen Luo pointed to the door leading to Möbius's dorm room.
"Because I'm the weakest of the three, this design was put in place for my safety. Don't be too surprised," Chen Luo waved his hand.
Chapter 933 The Herrscher of Knowledge Runs Away from Home
Watching Aponia head to the cafeteria for lunch, Chen Luo turned around and went back to his bedroom. He then tossed his physical doll out and sat it in front of and behind the computer before returning to his living room.
Today was one of the rare days that Chen Luo returned directly from the pre-civilization era to his own living room instead of going back to the bar.
"Phew, finally out." After Chen Luo returned to the main world of spiritual energy, the Herrscher of Consciousness jumped out of Chen Luo's sea of consciousness.
Although the biological clock of those who are subject to the Law of Consciousness is far different from that of ordinary people, even those who are subject to the Law of Consciousness should wake up at 11 o'clock.
The Lawbringer had been watching Chen Luo chat with various people with boredom since the beginning.
The only thing that slightly interested the Herrscher of Knowledge was that Chen Luo saw Little Greyshu again.
Lolis are a treasure of the world.
Little Gretchen was filled with great doubt.
Love can transcend age, but a moth drawn to a flame can also cross your doorstep.
However, even the Herrscher of Knowledge quite likes Gretchen.
"Lolo, can you explain to me why Aponia's attitude towards you changed so drastically just now?" the Herrscher of Knowledge asked curiously.
"Well..."
Because the great success just now happened so abruptly, and Aponia's change in attitude was also quite outrageous, it was only natural that the Herrscher of Knowledge noticed the anomaly in the matter.
Anyone with eyes could see that something was wrong in that situation.
Oh, not entirely.
First, you have to be on Chen Luo's side to avoid being influenced by the rationalization ability of this special skill.
The Law of Consciousness is different; it stayed directly in Chen Luo's sea of consciousness.
Things happened so suddenly that Chen Luo didn't even have time to use the "Blinding the View" skill on the Herald of Knowledge before it was completely over.
"Actually, it's like this. A while ago, the population of the pre-civilization humans in the Doll World surpassed 1 for the first time. Because it housed 1 victims of the apocalypse, it achieved the [Savior] achievement. I forgot to tell you at the time. And five-star achievements usually come with a special skill..." Chen Luo calmly explained the reason he had prepared for more than a day.
Chen Luo never intended to hide anything from the Herrscher of Knowledge. He only wanted to conceal the fact that after acquiring this ability, he used the Herrscher of Knowledge as the first experimental subject.
Chen Luo is not like those old-fashioned people; Chen Luo is incredibly clever.
Telecom fraud is risky; after the scam, you have to appease the victim, which is such a hassle.
It would have been better not to let the person who was scammed by the telecom fraud know in the first place.
Because of Chen Luo's good reputation and the absurdly high level of trust that the Lawyer of Knowledge had in Chen Luo, the Lawyer of Knowledge readily believed Chen Luo's reason.
"Is it really that amazing? If I were to complain to Li Sushang and Aponia, do you think they would have any doubts about this?" The Herrscher of Knowledge was quite curious.
Chen Luoneng understood the meaning of the Law of Knowledge. The Law of Knowledge's idea was simple: to tell the person who was persuaded about the ability of "persuasion" in order to verify whether the ability of "persuasion" was really outrageous, and whether it would become ineffective if others discovered that the ability had been used.
"It's hard to say about others, but Li Sushang and Aponia, who were successfully persuaded, are probably unaffected," Chen Luo said.
Do you even understand the true value of great success?
Chen Luo even wondered what would happen if, during his final battle against the Herrscher of the End on the moon, he said to the Herrscher of the End, "I am your father," while simultaneously rolling a die.
If I manage to throw it successfully, I might actually gain a daughter of the End.
"Then how about you try to convince me?"
"Huh?" Chen Luo was taken aback.
What's the difference between what you said and a performance artist saying "Come and hit me"?
Honestly, I've never heard of such a wish in my entire life.
And is it possible that you've already been successfully persuaded?
"I want to test the strength of this ability, so you'd better convince me, convince me not to believe you have this ability." The Herrscher of Knowledge's eyes were filled with eagerness.
Those who understand the laws of knowledge always manage to pull off a performance that leaves everyone bewildered, just like now.
"you sure?"
“I’m sure.” The Lawbringer nodded quickly.
"But I have a feeling it won't work," Chen Luo thought with some doubt.
You're already on guard, yet you expect me to so obviously persuade you? What's the difference between that and walking up to someone you know and telling them you're going to scam them, and then actually scamming them?
Chen Luo suspected that this level of persuasion might result in a 90-sided die. It was even possible that, unprecedentedly, a persuasion attempt would have a higher probability of failure than success.
It's virtually impossible to have a 100-sided die. Unless it's extremely outrageous, with the help of persuasive skills, people might believe it to some extent, but only to a little.
If you can succeed in all of this, then it can only be said that the Dice Goddess is favoring you.
No, if the target is a Herald of Knowledge, it might actually succeed...
"However, this ability is most convincing when used to persuade people in a post-apocalyptic environment. While it does have a certain persuasive power, it's normal for people not to believe it if it's too outrageous," Chen Luo said.
"Moreover, if we're just talking about mental strength, you're stronger than me. This persuasion ability itself passes the mental judgment test, which is just too difficult."
The difficulty of persuading a person of knowledge is certainly different from that of persuading an ordinary person.
The difficulty of persuading the Herrscher of Knowledge is different from that of persuading Otto. The Herrscher of Knowledge is easily fooled, but Otto is not.
The skill of persuasion involves a very wide range of aspects.
"Apocalyptic environment, right? So, does this skill mean the end of the world, or the end of an individual?" The Herrscher of Knowledge posed a very tricky question.
“If it’s a post-apocalyptic environment, then when you’re trying to persuade someone, you might need to bring it to the pre-civilization, since the only post-apocalyptic place we know of is the pre-civilization. But if it’s about a person’s post-apocalyptic situation, then you can beat them until they can’t take care of themselves, and then persuade them,” the Herald of Knowledge explained.
"What Pokémon?" Silently muttered.
Although Chen Luo had some complaints, he also felt that what the Herald of Knowledge said made some sense.
It seems that the one who understands the law has discovered a blind spot that Chen Luo had not noticed.
