Gentle Persuasion? How Gentle?

"What's wrong? Are you going to buy alchemy books?" Eula asked.

"Yes, I do want to buy a copy." Chen Luo nodded.

"Alchemy books? These things are not easy to buy, but don't worry, as a return gift for eating and drinking for so long, I will buy you an alchemy book."

Although Mondstadt does not have an official sales channel for alchemy books, and other channels are also difficult to find, there are still alchemists within the Knights of Favonius of the West in Mondstadt.

"No need, I can buy it myself."

"But do you have Mora?"

"Uh..." Eula's question stumped Chen Luo.

Chen Luo didn't actually have Mora, but Chen Luo could barter with other items.

"Fine, I said I'd buy it, so I'll buy it. You won't even give me this much face? I'll remember this grudge." Eula her arms and looked at Chen Luo with a cold face.

[Ding! You have a new request!]

[Compensation and Repayment]: Eula Lawrence, the Gale Knight, because I feel that being with you will make it harder for you to survive in Mondstadt, and I am also very grateful for your companionship along the way, I would like to buy you an alchemy book as compensation and repayment.

Reward: 50 Primogem

Difficulty: Two stars

(Note: Isn't this all to help continue the Lawrence Family bloodline?)

"Ah, this..." Chen Luo was stunned.

Because Chen Luo had never accepted such a commission before.

Chapter 151 Soft Persuasion? How to be Soft?

Chen Luo his talent panel active for over half a month, and before that, he spent two years doing 1,000 good deeds. What kind of situation hasn't he seen?

But Chen Luo had never seen this scene before.

How could there be such a request?

"W-What's wrong?" Eula paused for a moment when Eula saw Chen Luo staring at her face.

"Is there something dirty on my face?" Eula touched her face.

I did come back after defeating the monster, so could there be something strange on my face?

"No, it's nothing. I just feel that you're just too nice to me," Chen Luo said with a sigh.

"W-Why are you suddenly saying that? Humph! I just don't like taking things from others for free." Eula snorted coldly.

"..."

Seeing that Eula had completely failed to realize that his intentions had been fully exposed, Chen Luo didn't intend to tell anyone about it. After all, if Eula found out, Chen Luo didn't know what would happen.

This shows that Eula is indeed inferior to Venti. If Venti were in this situation, she would immediately realize that Chen Luo might have received her commission.

This may be related to Venti posting commissions every day, and even forcing herself to post commissions every day.

Simply put, it's a conditioned reflex to being exploited so much.

How should this request be phrased? Chen Luo didn't want Eula to have made a wasted effort, yet he also wanted the Primogem.

Chen Luo felt that Eula's personality needed to be changed.

Chen Luo always felt that Eula had a somewhat distorted giving personality and was not good at accepting kindness from others.

Perhaps because not many people treat Eula with kindness, Eula is not good at dealing with people who treat her with great Eula.

When she is able to make amends to the other person, Eula will do everything in her power to do so.

For example, Amber, and for example... Chen Luo.

Chen Luo always felt that this kind of personality would put him at a disadvantage.

But Chen Luo thought about it again and realized that there didn't seem to be much need to correct Eula's personality, because not many people would have goodwill towards Eula.

It has to be said, this is a tragedy.

"If you insist on buying me an alchemy book, that's fine, but please, please don't buy an expensive one. Just buy a very basic one. Or you could buy me a set of equipment needed for an alchemy lab. Try to pick the cheapest ones possible," Chen Luo emphasized.

"This... can something that's too cheap really be any good? You get what you pay for,"

"I'll just go with the cheapest one. I have a special opportunity where I can gain a certain level of skill knowledge just by touching the corresponding type of item, so the value of the teaching materials is not important to me. So don't buy the expensive ones."

This is a lie.

While Chen Luo might indeed gain mastery of alchemy upon encountering alchemy books, it's like mastering magic without the corresponding spells—you can only use basic spells like small fireballs and water balloons...

If Chen Luo possessed a mastery of alchemy but lacked more secret formulas or knowledge, Chen Luo could only become a basic advanced alchemist.

Basic and advanced sound completely opposite, but this strange balance appears in Chen Luo.

Despite being a master alchemist who understands the principles of alchemy, he doesn't know any alchemical formulas and has to develop them himself.

But that's enough. Chen Luo doesn't need to make his alchemy skills exceptionally strong; he just needs enough for everyday use.

As a master alchemist, Chen Luo may have nothing but mastery, but he can still customize products according to the needs of his clients.

To use a fitting analogy, it's like a high school student who's really good at math suddenly forgetting all the formulas, but even so, it would still be extremely easy for the high school student to do elementary school problems.

At least high school students wouldn't do something like adding numbers one by one when solving problems like "calculate additions from 1 to 100".

Chen Luo, who only possesses expertise in alchemy but knows nothing else about alchemy, is probably the same.

Furthermore, after mastering the Alchemy Bench Proficiency, Chen Luo also learned how to mix and synthesize some potions and items.

It's equivalent to directly learning the synthesis branch of alchemy.

Although it is possible that such a faction does not exist.

Therefore, a basic alchemy book is really enough for Chen Luo.

Of course, the more precious the book, the more valuable knowledge Chen Luo will learn after mastering it; this cannot be denied.

While both are considered mastery, mastery of crafting Little Red Potions and mastery of crafting Holy Spirit Potions are naturally different.

"Really? You really have such amazing abilities?" Eula was somewhat skeptical of Chen Luo's words, suspecting that he just wanted to save her money.

"Of course it's true," Chen Luo said with certainty.

Few people know that Chen Luo is Furniture Mastery making, or rather, besides Chen Luo, only Herrscher of Knowledge, and now there is half another one.

But Chen Luo had no choice; he had to explain.

Otherwise, Chen Luo suspected that Eula would spend a lot of money to buy an alchemy book that Chen Luo would never need.

Of course, the best way is to let Chen Luo go to the seller to choose, because Chen Luo only needs to touch the books to master them, so once Chen Luo all the books, he won't need to buy any at all.

This is really... Eula is desperately trying to spend money on Chen Luo, while Chen Luo is desperately trying to save money for Eula.

"Okay." In the end Eula looked into Chen Luo's sincere eyes and finally believed Chen Luo.

After all, if they can even manage a tavern that connects to Different World, it's normal for them to have some special skills.

"Eula, as a thank you for giving me the alchemy books, how about I give you a chance?" Chen Luo said to Eula she led him to Mondstadt Cathedral.

"Huh? What did you say? What opportunity?"

"Come closer, and I'll tell you." Chen Luo beckoned to Eula with his finger.

"..." Eula looked at Chen Luo suspiciously before moving closer.

"A chance... to take revenge on all of Mondstadt." Chen Luo's lips parted gently near Eula's ear, his breath tickling Eula ear.

"What do you want to do? Don't do anything stupid for me." But Eula couldn't care less about the itchy feeling anymore. Eula was now a little nervous about Chen Luo's possibility of taking revenge on Mondstadt after experiencing what she had gone through.

"Sigh... Am I that kind of person in your impression?" Chen Luo asked in surprise.

This is why Chen Luo had Eula come over.

Even Eula was shocked to hear such news, and Chen Luo and his group were walking in the middle of a busy street. If others heard about it, it would cause an even bigger disturbance.

"The opportunity I'm talking about is one that benefits the entire Mondstadt, yet allows me to take revenge on all the people of Mondstadt." Seeing that Eula didn't come closer, Chen Luo could only lean in and whisper.

"Huh???" Eula was even more confused after hearing Chen Luo's words.

"No need to doubt it. For the next period of time, you just need to stay by my side. There will naturally be a good show to watch then." Chen Luo smiled but did not give any reason.

"Playing tricks... Is that really possible?" If anyone else had said this to Eula wouldn't have believed it, but since it was Chen Luo, Eula believed it to some extent.

"..." Chen Luo did not answer and remained silent.

As for the opportunity Chen Luo mentioned...

What could be more surprising and unbelievable than the fact that the hero who defeated Stormterror and saved Mondstadt was actually a descendant of a sinner?

And even if many people don't believe it, it will at least allow Eula to have a better life in Mondstadt.

Perhaps for the sake of the bigger picture, Eula cannot be regarded as the "Hero" who saves Mondstadt, but even her status as an important partner of the hero is enough to change many people's perception of Eula.

Chen Luo, who originally planned to slack off during this operation, changed his mind because of Eula.

It turned into catching fewer fish.

Not slacking off?

LOL, it's impossible not to slack off while fishing, it's impossible for me to never slack off in my life.

Chen Luo used to complete tasks for others every day. Now that he has a more useful tool, can't he enjoy himself a bit?

Chen Luo only needs to make a move at the most crucial moment.

For example, you can follow the plot and wait for the Abyss Mage to appear and bewitch Tevyat, then throw Tevyat directly into the War Domain to detoxify and heal him, and then capture the Abyss Mage.

At that time, Chen Luo's Herrscher of Domination Authority will come in handy.

Solving the Tevyat incident itself is quite simple; the real trouble lies in the subsequent quest.

It was troublesome as it was, but they gave so much.

Furthermore, Chen Luo felt that his Herrscher's Body was much more comfortable in the Genshin Impact World than in his own main world.

If Chen Luo a thick barrier separating him from the world when using the Herrscher's Body in his main world, then in the Genshin Impact World it was like being separated by a thin membrane with mesh.

Chen Luo can even receive a certain amount of Honkai energy boost.

However, Chen Luo dared not break through that thin membrane.

In case of emergency, Chen Luo meant "in case of emergency".

What if the Honkai comes Honkai on this world after that membrane is broken?

Chen Luo didn't know, Chen Luo didn't understand, but Chen Luo knew he couldn't act recklessly.

About 10 minutes later, Chen Luo and Eula Yuyu arrived at the square in front of Mondstadt Cathedral.

"So what exactly is this thing you're talking about that can avenge the entire Mondstadt while also helping the entire Mondstadt?" Eula was truly puzzled, and she had asked Chen Luo many times before coming here, but Chen Luo had never told her.

"Oh my, so you're planning to get Eula to join you, Alo?" Venti, who had walked over after seeing Chen Luo and Yura, quickly figured out what Chen Luo was thinking after hearing Eula's question.

"Sigh, it doesn't really matter if there's one more or one less person. Besides, there's strength in numbers," Chen Luo said innocently.

"It doesn't matter, one more person is one more person. This credit can't be taken by one person alone. But then again, I don't think any of you here are just here for the credit, right?" Venti didn't care at all.

Although if we really want to claim credit, the fewer people there are, the more credit should be divided equally among each person.

However, Venti's only goal right now is to save Trilling; she doesn't care about any credit whatsoever.

Besides, if Venti cared about these empty titles, would she still be wandering around disguised as a bard? As for Luminous and Paimon, helping them find the void was the best reward.

"So what are you all talking about? You're all just talking to yourselves. I'll remember this." Eula felt that they were discussing a secret that everyone else knew, but she was the only one who didn't.

"Ahem, now that we've brought you here, there's no point in hiding it anymore. Eula, are you interested in joining us to save Mondstadt City?" Venti extended an invitation to Eula.

"You said you'd save Mondstadt, how?!"

"Of course, it's defeating the Stormterror," Chen Luo said.

"What? Alo, you're going to hunt down the Stormterror?" Eula exclaimed in a low voice.

"Don't be so rough. Who said it's a campaign? We're going to persuade Stormterror. Of course, whether we persuade it with words or with physical force depends on Stormterror's own understanding. If Stormterror is stubborn, we'll give it a good beating then," Chen Luo sneered.

"Alo, are you that strong?" Eula looked at Chen Luo with a hint of surprise.
