Their commission was suspicious.

The others turned a blind eye to Pado's behavior; after all, the Paradise of the Past was so boring, so adding a little fun wouldn't hurt.

"Boss, please don't try to pin everything on me, okay? This really has nothing to do with me. I've never seen a key like this before. And boss, could you please stop teasing us with that cat toy?" Pado's eyes were fixed on the cat toy in Chen Luo's hand, never leaving it for a moment.

This is how Chen Luo summons Pado. Calling her directly is no fun; it's much more interesting to tease her with a cat toy while watching her pounce on him.

“This probably wasn’t done by Pado; it was just lost. Besides… this box can be opened with any piece of metal, because the mechanism inside is really simple. Nail clippers would also work,” Kevin said.

"...Really?" Chen Luo was stunned.

"Where did you get this box? The way you opened it is so perfunctory. I bet you bought it for three dollars for five of them, right?" Chen Luo complained.

"...This is what you gave me."

"This box is incredibly convenient. Even if you lose the key, you can open it with ease. And most people would never imagine that Kevin's box can be opened with just a small piece of metal. The person who gave you this box is absolutely brilliant; they must be a master of psychology." Chen Luo praised the intelligence of the person who gifted Kevin the box without reservation.

Pado, standing nearby, deeply despised Chen Luo's self-aggrandizing behavior, but since Chen Luo was her boss, Pado couldn't say anything.

But to be honest, this box is indeed very deceptive. For example, Alicia has never tried to open it herself.

Even the shrewd Alicia was fooled by the box.

Alicia was truly astonished that Kevin's box could be pried open with a small piece of metal.

Glancing at Alicia, who hadn't noticed him and was still flirting with Abby, Chen Luo actually pulled out a small metal piece, inserted it, and gently twisted it...

The box was indeed opened.

Are these boxes really five for three yuan?

The structure of this lock is not even comparable to a lock that costs one dollar.

It really doesn't suit Kevin at all.

"Wow, it's this! Such distant memories!" Pado exclaimed upon seeing the contents of the box.

"Wow, it's this!" Chen Luo exclaimed in surprise, then looked at Kevin with astonishment.

Kevin, you little rascal, I didn't expect you to be so playful despite your seemingly serious appearance.

"What happened? Has the box been opened? Let me see what it is!" After hearing the commotion, Alicia couldn't contain her curiosity and quickly came over.

But just as Alicia was about to see what was inside the box, Chen Luo slammed it shut.

The lock on this box is recessed; it needs to be unlocked again as soon as it's closed.

"What did you do?!" Seeing this, Alicia pinched Chen Luo's face in exasperation.

Why do you think I didn't keep teasing Abby? It was just to satisfy my own curiosity, wasn't it?

As a result, after I left, Abi was taken advantage of by Yukari Yakumo, and now that she's here and wants to satisfy her curiosity, the box has been closed again...

"Lolo, you've done so many bad things!"

"Sigh, isn't this all to fulfill more wishes? Now that there's another Abi in the family, there's one more person to feed, and I really have no choice but to do this to support my family," Chen Luo said with a bitter expression.

Okay, the raw gemstone is secondary, but Chen Luo just loves seeing Alicia's displeased yet powerless expression towards him.

Sigh, the setbacks I suffered at the hands of Alicia from the previous civilization will eventually have to be made up for by the memory Alicia.

"You heartless bastard! I want to see what's in this box! Now you can!" Alicia pinched Chen Luo's face through gritted teeth.

Only you could talk about toying with other people's feelings so blatantly and confidently!

[Ding! You have a new request!]

“Hmm…” Chen Luo fell into deep thought as he looked at the commission.

"Alright, your wish should have been granted now, right? Quick, let me see what's in the box!" Alicia relentlessly shook Chen Luo.

Alicia was already used to Chen Luo doing this to her, after all, Chen Luo had done this kind of thing quite often in the previous civilization.

“I’m thinking… could I make another wish related to opening this box? After all, showing you the card is one thing, but opening the box is another.”

From a purely rational perspective, Chen Luo's actions do indeed maximize his benefits.

"Lo! Lo! If you keep teasing me like this, I'll sleep in the same room as Hua when I get back to Paradise tonight!" Alicia threatened.

"Huh? What's this? Holding the emperor hostage to command the nobles? Wait a minute, I'm the doctor, shouldn't Hua be the assistant?" Chen Luo was taken aback.

However, Chen Luo had to admit that Alicia's threat did indeed give him a lot of sense of crisis.

"So... do you believe I can drag Mebius into this too?" Alicia raised an eyebrow.

"Alright, alright, I give up. Besides, how can spoken thoughts be considered true thoughts?"

For a moment, Chen Luo did have the idea of ​​doing more commissions, but if he really intended to do that, he wouldn't have said it out loud.

Then Alicia watched as Chen Luo used a small piece of metal to twist and open the box, which looked extremely hard, extremely ancient, and extremely... in short, extremely powerful.

"Kevin, who gave you this box?" Alicia was surprised.

Is this really considered a lock?

The box is so sturdy, but the lock opens with a single twist. What kind of ingenious design is this?

Upon seeing Chen Luo being pointed at by Kevin, Alicia finally couldn't hold back any longer and pounced on Chen Luo!

"Chen Luo! Your sins are heinous!!!"

"Hey, hey, don't pounce on me! Your face is too close!"

Chapter 951 Alicia: Sell Yourself to Pay Off Your Debt of Love! Chen Luo!

Out of hatred for Chen Luo, Alicia tried to pounce on him to give him a memorable "punishment," but Chen Luo was not one to sit idly by. He placed one hand on Alicia's soft and elastic face, preventing her from getting any closer.

"jingle!"

The stalemate only ended when the wind chimes rang. Because of the angle, Alicia, who saw the newcomer at a glance, immediately abandoned Chen Luo and threw herself into the newcomer's arms.

"Eden, Lolo bullied me." Alicia rubbed against him, trying to ease her deep resentment.

“Eden, don’t listen to Ellie’s nonsense. I didn’t bully her. This little box was given to Kevin by me from the previous civilization, and I haven’t done anything like that since.” Chen Luo clearly didn’t want Eden to be swayed by Ellie’s instigation.

However, it was unreasonable enough for Chen Luo to try to talk to a chef about Ai Li.

Therefore, Chen Luo's failure was obvious.

But Chen Luo didn't feel ashamed. After all, you have to try to know some things, right?

It's like when you feel your character is stupid, you can think of that shameful Herrscher with a thousand members who once tried to get the head of the Seele fan club to betray Seele.

This will make you feel better.

and many more.

Chen Luo suddenly discovered something extremely important.

Damn it, aren't I just a thousand-man healer?

Chen Luo looked at his hands, then at Alicia held in Eden's arms, and at Eden holding Alicia.

The clown is actually myself?

Oh my god, something terrible has happened!

Is it possible that in the future, the way to mock people will change from "When you feel stupid enough, you can think of a thousand Herrschers who tried to make the head of the Seele's fan club betray Seele" to "When you feel stupid enough, you can think of a thousand Herrschers who tried to make the head of the Alice's fan club betray Alice"?

Although the main targets of the ridicule were all members of the Thousand Lawyers faction, Chen Luo felt wronged.

It must be the Herrscher consciousness of that thousand Herrschers that's causing this! It must be!

And so, the Herrscher consciousness, which had only been born for less than an hour and had been dealt with by Chen Luo using four lollipops from little girls, was now burdened with a huge accusation.

Even so, Chen Luo still began to doubt himself, wondering if he had been influenced by something unclean.

【The Curse of a Thousand Heralds】!

"Alright, Alice, Lolo now knows she was wrong." Although she knew Alice was deliberately trying to be cute, who could resist Alice's affection? Especially when the object of her affection was Eden.

How could Eden bear to refuse any of Ellie's requests?

“Strictly speaking, Chen Luo hasn’t given me this box yet. Perhaps…” Kevin said.

Although a long time has passed, Kevin can roughly recall from Chen Luo's performance which period of time Chen Luo from 5 years ago corresponds to in the present Chen Luo.

Seeing that the Seven Saints Summoning had just become widespread, Kevin knew the current time.

When Chen Luo wanted to see what was in the box, Kevin let him see it without any hesitation. When Pado was curious and also wanted to see it, Kevin didn't care, which shows that Kevin didn't value the secret in the box very much.

The reason Kevin closed the box just as Alicia was about to see what was inside was simply because his box had been opened without his knowledge.

If Ellie really wants to see what's in this box, can Kevin refuse?

Alicia simply insisted on seeing what was inside the box through her own efforts.

A strange persistence...

"But isn't that even worse? Lolo hasn't given you the box yet, which means that Lolo gave it to you knowing that you could use it to trick me, right?" said Alicia, the logic genius.

In fact, strictly speaking, Alicia wasn't wrong.

"In general terms, that's true." The old man, who had overheard the whole story while drinking tea, nodded.

"You can't say that, Ellie. You have to understand my good intentions. I did all this to prevent history from being disrupted and leading to the destruction of post-civilization. I'm doing this to save the world!" Chen Luo said, his voice both righteous and self-righteous.

"To save the world, they deceive the hearts of young girls. That world is so cheap!" Alicia retorted.

"Leaving aside whether you were deceived or not, the issue of being young has nothing to do with you, right? 5 years have passed since the ancient civilization. If those pioneers frozen in the cryogenic chambers are indeed only about 5000 years old, then you, who have truly existed in the Land of the Past for 5 years, should be over 5 years old by now..."

Chen Luo's voice grew softer and softer until it became completely silent.

It's definitely not because Alicia has a cute little face downcast right now, nor is it because, despite that sad expression, Alicia has already started to draw her bow and nock an arrow...

Chen Luo simply felt that discussing a girl's age in this way was a bit too much.

Besides Alicia, Eden's gentle yet helpless gaze is also quite unbearable.

“I think the problem ultimately lies not with me, but with Kevin. I was just the one who delivered the box, while Kevin is now the person in charge of this box, so in the end it’s Kevin’s fault.” Chen Luo immediately pointed his finger at Kevin, who was standing to the side.

"..." Kevin saw Chen Luo drawing the conflict to himself, and a thousand thoughts surged through his mind. All those emotions, so many words, ultimately boiled down to a sigh.

It feels like this kind of plot has played out many times in the past, and Kevin was always the one who silently suffered losses in the past.

It wasn't exactly a loss for Kevin; he was just too lazy to explain such a childish frame-up.

“That’s despicable, Lolo. But Kevin, I’m really curious why you chose such a box. Although it’s certainly sturdy, the lock is too easy to pick. If it gets stolen, wouldn’t it be easy for someone to break it?” Alicia said, also a little curious.

Although Alicia had been thinking about how to cleverly open the box since she got it, to the point of ignoring the simplest method, this was because Alicia understood Kevin, which is why she overthought things. If it were someone else, they might have actually figured it out.

That's all; this box has such a low level of security that it can be easily pried open with just a small piece of metal...

This is definitely a free point question.

“No one can steal my things except in the afterlife,” Kevin said after a moment of silence.

Chen Luo hasn't given the box to Kevin yet, but the box has already ended up in Kevin's memory, which means it's at least in the modern timeline of the pre-civilization era.

Kevin was already a Fusion Warrior in the previous civilization. Who would be so audacious as to steal Kevin's things?

Does that person think their head is harder than a Herrscher's?

It was in the Land of the Dead that Kevin could so casually let Paddo take the little box away.

"So, more important than anti-theft features is the box's sturdiness. Otherwise, it would be troublesome if we didn't control our strength in daily life and broke the box," Kevin said.

Since there's absolutely no fear of theft, there's no need to worry about someone stealing the box and opening it, so anti-theft features are unimportant.

The poor anti-theft features mean Kevin won't have to worry about how to open the box if he loses his key.

Kill two birds with one stone.

"That's a simple, direct, and very practical idea," Alicia had to agree with Kevin's.

Because what Kevin said really makes a lot of sense.

"Alright, Ellie, stop worrying about this. Instead of wondering if Lolo is trying to play a trick on you across time, let's guess what's inside." After sensing Chen Luo's pleading gaze, Eden had no choice but to steer the conversation in a different direction.

While Eden may not be able to refuse any of Alicia's requests, that doesn't mean he can refuse Chen Luo's requests.

In short, try your best to satisfy their whimsical little requests regarding these unimportant little things.

Eden always treated his friends this way.

Generous and kind, and also very friendly.
