Their commission was suspicious.

"jingle!"

The doorbell rang, and Raven, looking mournful, pushed open the door and stared straight at Chen Luo.

"Uh, okay, I'll hang up now. Someone's looking for me. See you tonight." Chen Luo said to the three people on the other end of the communicator after seeing Raven's resentful face.

Chen Luo stood up only after the three said goodbye and hung up the phone.

"Raven, thank you for your hard work," Chen Luo said solemnly.

"...Instead of talking about these empty gestures, you might as well give me another gold bar." Raven rolled her eyes at Chen Luo.

This guy actually drove that go-kart, which I don't know what it was modified with, all by himself from Chiba Academy back to his nest.

Although the other party placed a doll made of thread that looked very similar to Chen Luo in another position behind the driver's seat of the go-kart as an accompaniment, Raven was not satisfied at all after hitting the doll twice.

"...Raven, thank you for your hard work." Chen Luo paused for a moment before emphasizing his words again.

"...I'm defeated by you. Come out now."

Raven could clearly see that Chen Luo had no intention of pulling out a gold bar and throwing it in his face.

"Oh, by the way, Raven, did you give those 30 Honkai Crystals to Xiao Kong and the others?" Chen Luo asked as he called the others out of the bar.

"No, why? We haven't decided when to leave yet. If we tell them now, they'll definitely get more impatient, and impatience isn't a good quality in the apocalypse," Raven said, shaking her head.

"Could you give me those Honkai Crystals first, so I can give them to them?" Chen Luo negotiated with the raven.

“It’s possible, but… what’s your motive?” Raven looked at Chen Luo with a puzzled expression.

"It's to leave a good last impression on them, since it'll be hard to see them again in the future."

Let's see if we can make one last push and upgrade the three-star achievement to a four-star achievement—[Loli King]

“…Yes, that’s fine.” Raven nodded after seemingly thinking of something.

Chapter 117 Does the ability to hypnotize mean one can do whatever one wants?

"Sigh, as expected, the greater the apocalyptic crisis, the cheaper the favorability becomes. Or perhaps, the greater the disappointment, the greater the hope?" Chen Luo looked at the 9/10 progress of the [Loli King] and nodded in satisfaction.

During the few hours that Chen Luo slept from 8 a.m. to 2 a.m., Raven had already brought back all the remaining survivors, bringing the total number to 15 when added to the original number.

All I can say is that the talent panel is forever the best.

Of these 15 children, only three were male, which shows just how much men are oppressed in the Honkai world.

Of those 12 little girls, only 9 had a favorability rating of 80 or higher towards Chen Luo.

According to Chen Luo's calculations, the maximum favorability should be 200 based on the talent panel. Reaching a 5% discount would bring the favorability to 100, and only after achieving certain special relationships could this favorability level continue to rise.

An 80 level of favorability is almost equivalent to a 6% discount.

Of course, these are just estimates, and even if these little girls' favorability reaches 6%, they still can't buy anything, since they really have nothing.

Does being proficient in cat's cradle count?

It can only be said that under such an apocalyptic crisis, coupled with the life-saving grace and the added goodwill from bringing them into normal society, the favorability can barely reach 6%.

This is practically equivalent to being given a second chance at life.

Of course, because this 6% discount is relatively difficult to achieve, not all little girls can reach an 80% favorability rating. There are three little girls who just arrived and are a bit shy, so their favorability rating is still a bit low, because they may not understand the weight of the kindness that led them out of Changkong City.

Of course, Chen Luo didn't expect them to repay his kindness; he just wanted to increase their favorability. The children were so young; their best course of action was to focus on their studies.

Chen Luo just wanted to achieve something.

In the post-apocalyptic world, Chen Luo found a quick way to increase his favorability with the little girl.

Setting this achievement at 9/10 is really a bit difficult.

If it weren't for the fact that the favorability rating after the Herrscher of Consciousness modified the consciousness couldn't be considered a true favorability rating, Chen Luo would have had the urge to mentally remodel all the remaining little lolis.

However, this is also a good thing, because the Herrscher of Knowledge is right next to me, and I can use the Herrscher of Knowledge's mind-reading ability to selectively increase the other party's favorability.

Intentionally planting flowers but not blooming, unintentionally planting willows and willows make a shade.

After trying for 20 minutes, Chen Luo did not achieve the "Loli King" achievement, but instead achieved the "King of Children" achievement.

[King of the Kids] (Four Stars): 10 children under the age of 14 have a favorability rating of 60 or higher towards you.

Effect: Children under 14 years old will have a higher initial liking for you, they will be more likely to believe you, they will be more willing to respect you as their leader, and you will be the most outstanding leader among the children.

Promotion path: No promotion is possible.

"Ah... this evaluation is not as good as [Loli, submit to me]", Chen Luo muttered under his breath.

All I can say is that all achievements that cannot be promoted to five-star achievements ultimately lack that special attack effect of dominating the heavens, the earth, and the air.

This isn't to say that four-star achievements are trash. The "King of Children" and "Friend of Non-Humans" achievements are quite powerful, but they don't have the transformative skills of five-star achievements.

For example, the lollipop skill that comes with the "Loli, Submit to Me" skill.

The one-hit kill skill included in 【Honkai Terminator】.

The ability that comes with the "Neurotic Hand" skill allows you to convert a building into your own unit.

"Chen Luo, are all the survivors in Changkong City here?" Raven asked Chen Luo.

“All the survivors worth saving are here,” Chen Luo said without nodding.

Not all survivors need to be saved, just as not everyone is human.

Since Chen Luo isn't going, let whoever wants to go go.

Even the raven's request to save the survivors was just for children, so why did Chen Luo have to add unnecessary details?

"Oh, that's good then. So, you should come back to World Serpent with me now, right?" Raven said, staring intently at Chen Luo.

If there weren't other people around, Raven would have hugged Chen Luo directly.

Just kidding, this is worth 300 million US dollars.

My little darling.

"And shouldn't it be time to pay the remaining $400 million in gold?" Raven took another step closer to Chen Luo, now almost touching him.

"You really are... How could I possibly owe you gold? I'm a traveler from another world, money is like dirt to me." Chen Luo gave Raven a disdainful look.

"Then give me all that manure, I don't mind."

"Are you kidding me?" Chen Luo immediately became displeased.

"See?" Raven looked at Chen Luo with displeasure.

As the raven said, how could anyone in this world not like money? Anyone who doesn't like money is just pretending.

"Ahem, don't worry, although this gold is of some use to me, I will definitely give it to you as I said I would. I don't mind if you want it now, but if I give you the gold, how will you take it out? Don't forget you still have to take care of these 15 children." Chen Luo pointed to the children playing happily and said.

Although the apocalyptic crisis was indeed difficult for them to accept, the fact that they would soon be able to leave this place that could be described as the end of the world was something to be happy about.

"..." The raven had no rebuttal.

Although gold is valuable, Raven doesn't have a portable space like Chen Luo's, so carrying a large amount of gold would inevitably be inconvenient.

The 100 million gold deposit that Chen Luo originally gave was still hidden in some corner by Raven.

Even just carrying around $100 million worth of gold isn't very convenient.

“So why don’t you give me back the $100 million in gold I gave you? Let me hold onto it for you, and I’ll show it to you when you get out. Since we’re such good friends, I won’t charge you a storage fee,” Chen Luo said.

"!!!" You took my gold and now you want me to pay you a storage fee.

Even if I put it in the bank, the bank should still give me some interest, right?

And you haven't even given me all the money yet, but you're already asking me for more. It feels like you're just trying to scam me out of some money and then run away.

However, in the end, Raven chose to believe Chen Luo.

There's nothing you can do if you don't believe it.

The gold is in their hands.

"So how are we going to get back to World Serpent? My vehicle can't hold all these kids. Almighty Traveler, right? Give me some ideas," Raven said to Chen Luo.

Furthermore, Raven's vehicle was not parked in Changkong City. Although it was a government-funded vehicle, it was better to avoid damage if possible.

If it's placed in Changkong City, then it's just a scrapped vehicle, right?

[Ding! You have a new request!]

"That's easy. You drive the super go-kart away from Changkong City, and we'll wait for you at the survivor base or the bar."

"...You again?" Raven looked at Chen Luo with displeasure.

While you guys are enjoying your drinks and snacks at the bar, I'm driving that car that looks like a child's toy through Changkong City, which is full of Honkai Beasts and zombies. Even though that thing magically doesn't need gas, this is still going too far.

"No, let's not talk about anything else, at least you have to suffer with me!" Raven said insistently.

Raven knew that Chen Luo would definitely not be willing to drive alone, so the best way was for them to suffer together. Raven was unwilling to suffer alone.

"No way, that super go-kart can only fit two people. It's a bit cramped if two people sit together," Chen Luo said.

"Since there are two people, then let's have two people sit here. Anyway, you have to suffer with me! Otherwise, I'll go into the bar, and you can drive that crappy go-kart away from Changkong City." Raven was still resentful that Chen Luo had abandoned him outside the bar.

Even if I die, I'll take someone down with me!

"Well... fine, if you insist." Seeing Raven's unwavering resolve, Chen Luo could only reluctantly accept the suggestion.

Because Chen Luo didn't want to suffer alone, he had to at least drag someone down with him.

"Oh, by the way, where did that person who looked just like Hua go?" Raven asked casually.

Raven had been observing carefully for a long time but couldn't find where that person had gone. Could it be that he had been staying in the bar the whole time?

"Who knows?" Chen Luo said, glancing at the Herrscher of Knowledge standing next to the Raven.

At this moment, the Herrscher of Knowledge heard the raven looking for him and made a face at the raven.

Does being able to hypnotize someone really mean you can do whatever you want?

After hearing this, Raven stopped thinking about it and for some reason, it felt like it wasn't an important matter and could be ignored.

"Oh, right, shouldn't I get my Divine Key back?" Raven said to Chen Luo after glancing at the watch hanging in the survivor base.

Chen Luo had been holding this divine artifact for an hour now. Honestly, Raven never imagined that anyone would like a weapon so much.

Could this be the reason why Chen Luo is so popular?

Or, why don't you go back and give it a try yourself?

"Alright..." Chen Luo returned the Third Divine Key to Raven without any reluctance. Since the analysis was already complete, he could use his Void Treasury whenever he wanted to use the Third Divine Key in the future.

The only regrettable thing is that even after the Void Treasury is upgraded beyond its limit, it cannot increase the power of a four-star top-tier weapon to five stars when copying it.

Even so, the ability of a four-star top-tier third divine key is indeed extremely precious.

However, it is foreseeable that for some people, this weapon will not be able to kill them with a single blow.

For example, the angel who had already died at Chen Luo's feet.

To be fair, that angel was indeed strong, and her strength even showed signs of breaking through to a higher level, but what can you do when she's an angel?

"I wonder how Sakura will react when she sees her younger sister, and someone who looks almost exactly like her." After retrieving the Third Divine Key, Raven looked at Rin and Yae Sakura.

When the raven arrived in its super go-kart, it reported the situation to the gray snake.

However, after hearing this outrageous news, Gray Serpent seemed not to find it too outrageous.

After hearing Raven relay Chen Luo's threat, Gray Serpent remained silent for a few seconds before agreeing to let Raven take Ling back to Paradise.

It was as if the gray snake had actually accepted the threat and had no intention of causing any trouble.

Raven could sense whether the gray snake intended to act recklessly or not.

This made Raven even more surprised about Chen Luo's background, which made even the Gray Snake wary of him.

Although both Raven and Gray Serpent are executives of the World Serpent, there are differences between executives. Gray Serpent's authority is clearly higher.

"Hmm? You seem to have misunderstood something?" Chen Luo paused after hearing Raven's words.

"What do you mean?"

“Ling will go back to World Serpent with you, but Yae Sakura won’t. Yae Sakura will go to St. Freya Academy,” Chen Luo said.

"Ah, why?" the raven couldn't help but ask.
