"Here, this is the gift I brought for you." The Herrscher of Knowledge said, taking out a golden sword from her storage ring.

"Ta-da! The Key of Domination!"

This golden sword is not the Xuanyuan Sword, but the most basic form of the Key of Domination. The Xuanyuan Sword is a sword that belongs exclusively to Ji Lin. Even the Herrscher of Knowledge cannot transform their Key of Domination into the Xuanyuan Sword.

"The Key of Domination?" Feeling the special sensation emanating from the sword, Chen Luo was taken aback.

In fact, Chen Luo knew what this thing was without even needing the Herrscher of Knowledge to explain it.

After receiving the longsword from the Herrscher of Knowledge, Chen Luo felt as if the sword was humming.

What will happen when Thousand-Man Herrscher obtains a sword crafted from the core of the Thousand-Man Herrscher?

The answer is... nothing will happen.

The sword returned to its calm state in Chen Luo's hands.

"This sword seems to have the ability to manipulate any elemental power and adapt it to the user..." Chen Luo muttered to himself.

As soon as Chen Luo finished speaking, the golden longsword in his hand burst into flames, and the power of the flames spread throughout the entire Golden Sword.

However, the small amount of Honkai energy stored within Chen Luo's body was also lost.

"If I had obtained this thing before I acquired the Void Archive, it would have been somewhat useful. What a pity. But for now, I can use it as a substitute for other elemental attribute Vision users."

Simply put, the Key of Domination is now a very high-end toy for Chen Luo.

As Chen Luo's thoughts shifted, the Golden Sword in his hand transformed into a pair of gloves.

"The Grip of Taixu? A Luo, you and I are very compatible." The Herrscher of Knowledge looked at the gauntlets in Chen Luo's hands, a look of joy on his face.

"Uh, indeed."

Seeing how happy the Herrscher of Knowledge was, Chen Luo was too embarrassed to tell Herrscher of Knowledge that he could control the sword to take any shape.

For some unknown reason, the Key of Domination, which was originally fixed in one shape, acquired properties similar to a low-end version of the Void Archive in Chen Luo's hands, allowing Chen Luo to transform it into any kind of weapon.

Perhaps this is the preferential treatment that Thousand-Man Herrscher receives from Thousand-Man Herrscher.

In Chen Luo's hands, it can transform into any kind of weapon, and at the same time, it has the Honkai energy and convert it into natural forces such as fire, lightning, and ice...

Saying that he was a low-end version of the Void Archive in Chen Luo's hands might be a bit of an exaggeration, but it would certainly be very apt.

Therefore, if Chen Luo had not obtained the Void Archive, then the Key of Domination would have been the most suitable weapon for Chen Luo.

But there are no "ifs".

Under Chen Luo's control, the Key of Domination in his hand, which was woven into a gauntlet, transformed back into a sword sheath.

The Herrscher of Knowledge, observing Chen Luo's current actions, felt somewhat confused.

How can the Key of Domination, which has a fixed shape, change its form? And why did it turn into a sword sheath?

But then the Herrscher of Knowledge understood, because Herrscher of Knowledge saw Chen Luo take out a sword from his backpack and insert it into its sheath, sealing it perfectly.

"So in the end, this Key of Domination became the scabbard of your Unsheathed Sword?" The Herrscher of Knowledge was still somewhat taken aback by the current situation.

After all, no matter how rich the Herrscher of Knowledge's imagination was, he never imagined that the Key of Domination could be used as a sword sheath.

"Hmm, it works quite well, doesn't it? Thank you for the gift."

"That's good." Seeing that Chen Luo seemed genuinely satisfied, the Herrscher of Knowledge breathed a sigh of relief.

[Ding! You have obtained a gift that increases the favorability of the Herrscher of Knowledge (Key of Domination - Father's Day Limited Edition)]

"..."

Hmm... How about a Father's Day limited edition?

And have you finally given the gift to increase your favorability?

When Chen Luo received the favorability gift from Mobius, he was already thinking about when the Herrscher of Knowledge would give him a favorability gift, since logically speaking, the Herrscher of Knowledge's discount was higher than Mobius's.

However, Chen Luo received a gift of favor from the Herrscher of Knowledge today.

As for this favorability gift... it's hard to say whether it's good or bad. At least this favorability gift is a low-end version of Void Archive, and it also has the attribute of being able to control many elements, which even Void Archive cannot have.

This is a 4-star weapon, so it's really valuable.

Therefore, Chen Luo understood the intention of the Herrscher of Knowledge.

Anyway, in the future, when Chen Luo needs to use two pieces of equipment at the same time in battle or when facing some special situations, he can use Void Archive in one hand Key of Domination in the other.

Both are weapons that can freely change shape, making them quite perfect.

And...

[Key of Domination - Father's Day Limited Edition]: A special mass-produced Divine Key that can freely change form and control the vast majority of elemental energies. It can be charged not only using Honkai energy.

Additional skills: [Cold Weapon Grandmaster] + [Melee Grandmaster]

Therefore, no gift that enhances favorability is lacking.

[Cold Weapon Grandmaster] and [Melee Grandmaster] are among the basic skills of the Herrscher of Knowledge that Chen Luo has always wanted.

Chen Luo originally planned to exchange it with crystals, but since crystals are now in short supply, he didn't make up his mind. Unexpectedly, he received it as a gift to increase his favorability.

These two abilities serve as basic skills and can enhance the vast majority of abilities. For example, after being empowered by the Cold Weapon Grandmaster, Chen Luo felt that his previously incomplete mastery of the Tai Xu Sword Qi instantly reached an extremely high level.

The discovery or application of this additional skill occurred after the Herrscher of Knowledge truly bestowed the Key of Domination upon Chen Luo.

When Chen Luo received it, he didn't notice anything special about it.

So, does every gift given to increase favorability represent a skill possessed by the gift giver?

For example, the Herrscher of Knowledge Cold Weapon Grandmaster and Melee Grandmaster, and Mobius is proficient in various medical fields...

"Hmm? Xiao Shi, did you get two Key of Domination?" Just as Chen Luo was overjoyed to receive this favorability gift, he saw the Herrscher of Knowledge take out another sword from her storage ring.

The same style of Key of Domination.

"What? This is mine. If you want a few more, I can get you some more." The Herrscher of Knowledge immediately hugged the Golden Sword to her chest.

Just kidding, these are two key keys that I specially picked out, the ones with the closest serial numbers and the most similar shapes, and they're a couple's set.

One is number 666, and the other is number 999.

"Don't you have a sword case? You shouldn't need the Key of Domination, right?" Chen Luo asked.

"Don't even think about taking this sword. I already said if you want it, I can get it for you again." The Herrscher of Knowledge shook his head vigorously, refusing to give the sword to Chen Luo.

"I don't want your sword, I just want to ask if you're not going to use it in battle, right?" Chen Luo said helplessly.

I already have a Key of Domination and Void Archive, what would I need your sword for?

"That's right, I just use it for collecting, so what?"

"Then... give it to me for a moment, I'll help you change its shape." Chen Luo reached out his hand to the Herrscher of Knowledge.

As Thousand-Man Herrscher, Chen Luo certainly has this level of authority.

The [Key of Domination - Father's Day Limited Edition] itself does not possess a myriad of functions; it only acquires these functions because Chen Luo uses it.

"... Here you go, but don't break it." The Herrscher of Knowledge placed the sword in Chen Luo's hand without hesitation.

[Obtain (Key of Domination - Valentine's Day Limited Edition)]

Chen Luo froze upon seeing the prompt on the panel.

However, Chen Luo's hands did not stop. As Chen Luo activated his Herrscher of Domination ability, the Golden Sword changed its form in Chen Luo hands.

"This is..." The Herrscher of Knowledge stared blankly at the headdress that Chen Luo had returned to him.

"Didn't you want to portray yourself as the future Fu Hua? In that case, wouldn't it be even more perfect to have a headdress just like Fu Hua's?" Chen Luo shrugged and said.

This headdress was made by Chen Luo based on the appearance of Yu Du Chen disguised as a headdress, but it was not modified to be exactly the same, and its own personality was retained.

This can be seen as proof that the Herrscher of Knowledge is not entirely Fu Hua in Chen Luo's mind.

No one would want to be used as a substitute for someone else, right?

"Thank you, Alo!"

"Hey, wait! Don't suddenly pounce on me! My back is hurting!"

Chapter 141 The "In-Depth" Cleansing of the Book of Cang Xuan

"Waaaaah!"

Although Chen Luo couldn't understand what Xiao Ba was saying, he knew that Xiao Chen Luo was showing off to the Herrscher of Knowledge. This was because when the Herrscher of Knowledge pounced on Chen Luo earlier, it initially hit him, but later, when the Herrscher of Knowledge got off Chen Luo, it landed on top of Xiao Ba.

At that moment, Xiao Ba let out a shrill scream.

Then Herrscher of Knowledge and Hachi almost got into a fight.

"Give me the Book of Cang Xuan, I'll fix it." Chen Luo reached out his hand to the Herrscher of Knowledge.

"Oh." The Herrscher of Knowledge placed a sphere in Chen Luo's hand, then continued to stare at the little fox.

"Sigh..." Looking at the Herrscher of Knowledge and the little fox staring at each other, Chen Luo sighed and decided not to interfere anymore.

Let the pets handle their own affairs.

"Hmm, this thing..." After obtaining the Book of Cang Xuan, Chen Luo ran to a corner and began to stare at it.

When the Armed Puppet Book of Cang Xuan is without electricity, it is a sphere.

When you're fully charged, you'll get a little tyrant.

As for what to use for charging, it still depends on Honkai Crystal.

Because Chen Luo only had Honkai Crystal, an energy source suitable for the Honkai World.

After Chen Luo grasped the Book of Cang Xuan, Chen Luo automatically gained mastery of the "Complete Instructions for Using the Book of Cang Xuan".

From a purely rational perspective... this Book of Cang Xuan seems to really be a piece of furniture.

Chen Luo doubted that he even needed the Herrscher of Knowledge to modify his subconscious anymore; Chen Luo truly felt that the Book of Cang Xuan was just a piece of furniture.

The Book of Cang Xuan, equipped with a Honkai detector, GPS, firepower system, and software such as "The King of Jokes" and "The Complete Book of Stories," is a non-combat Armed Puppet created by Cang Xuan and Danzhu so that someone could accompany Fu Hua after their deaths and keep her warm and kind heart.

Therefore, this is a non-combat Armed Puppet, which means it is furniture.

Perhaps it can be understood as a storybook that can talk.

"Speaking of which, I'm really interested in jokes and stories from Previous Era." Chen Luo said, toying with the sphere in his hand while modifying the Honkai Crystal in his other hand.

Having essentially obtained the user manual for the Book of Cang Xuan, Chen Luo understood the predicament the Book of Cang Xuan was currently in.

The Book of Cang Xuan has been shut down for over a thousand years. It's like a computer; it might get hot if you run it for a long time, but the chances of it breaking down are slim.

If you want to break a high-spec computer, just leave it off and let it collect dust for a few years. You'll be surprised to find that the computer that you thought would never break no matter how you played with it has broken down.

Of course, it's only a possibility.

However, if you rashly turn on the computer and connect it to the power supply under such potentially dangerous conditions, the probability of the computer breaking down will reach 80%.

If you turn it on without cleaning the dust, then I admire you as a brave soul.

Chen Luo Luogui is currently cleaning the dust off the Book of Cang Xuan and warming it up.

You know what, if someone other than Chen Luo were to repair or replace the batteries in the Book of Cang Xuan, unless it was one of the two creators, Cang Xuan and Danzhu, it would be easy to damage some of the Book of Cang Xuan's functions.

It could even erase your memory.

Because this thing takes way too long to shut down.

Armed Puppet are not afraid of long-term use. Look at Klein, he has been used for tens of thousands of years and still works overtime all night as usual. He has not died suddenly after tens of thousands of years.

So why didn't Cang Xuan and Danzhu tell Fu Hua how to use the Book of Cang Xuan before entrusting it to Fu Hua? They could have at least taught her how to change the battery or how to charge it.

Of course, it's also possible that Fu Hua simply can't learn it.

It's like math; if you don't know it, you just don't know it.

This is not something you can learn in years of study.
