Herrscher of Sentience's [Price] Is... +∞? (Continued)

"Even though you're my boss now, don't keep staring at me, okay? Or I'll tell you about professional harassment." After giving Bronya a glass of vodka and then enticing her to have an extra-strength vodka, followed by another extra-strength vodka, Raven looked at Chen Luo helplessly and said.

"If it were me, I would at most give the other party the Bronya asked for, but you actually managed to persuade them to place three requests in a row. You really are... I'm really growing to like you more and more, Raven," Chen Luo said somewhat involuntarily.

The original 10 Primogem yielded a staggering 30 Primogem, which made Chen Luo regret not having brought Raven to work here sooner.

Chen Luo's bar has only been open for about 10 days, and what Chen Luo is best at is actually taking advantage of customers, rather than matching drinks to the bar's customers.

In fact, Chen Luo and Raven each have their own strengths when it comes to completing commissions.

Raven excels at offering a more enhanced version of a drink after the other person has already had one, thus satisfying their expectations. However, Raven is less proactive in this regard; in other words, it is not good at actively taking advantage of customers, but rather at promoting a series of drinks.

Chen Luo is better at seeing through people's hearts and understanding their desires. Moreover, his knowledge of these Chen Luo characters often brings him considerable benefits.

Of course, another point is that the Raven has no achievements, so it naturally doesn't have any achievement bonuses. If a strange guest comes, the guest might even turn around and leave.

Even regular customers can be influenced by this.

Chen Luo's achievements cover a very wide range, or rather, all of them. There is no creature in this world that Chen Luo cannot increase favorability with!

That is the core of this bar.

This made Chen Luo wonder if the reason why this talent panel hadn't appeared for two years was just to wait for him to unlock the "Chen the Great Philanthropist" achievement.

If Chen Luo and Raven were to team up to sell alcohol, they could definitely make a fortune.

"..." Upon hearing Chen Luo's words, Raven, who was wiping a wine glass, paused for a moment, then tugged at his hat.

"Is this workplace harassment?" Raven muttered.

"No, no, I'm just stating the facts. If it's alright, Raven, could you please come every night?"

"I'll come when I'm not on a mission or when I'm free." After hesitating for a moment, Raven nodded.

After all, Chen Luo's bar is safe and relaxing enough; he just needs to chat with the customers.

And coincidentally, the Raven is very good at gathering intelligence and knows a lot about alcohol, so the work points earned are very high.

"Actually, if you need anything, you can just use your work points to ask me for help. If it's just to get you out of work, I'll only charge a few work points as a token fee. For example, if you want to carry out a mission, just ask me. As a Herrscher of Domination and Herrscher of Corrosion, I can easily crush everything in the Honkai World for you. As long as you're not assassinating a head of state, there won't be any problems," Chen Luo said very proactively.

"Why are you so eager? Honestly," Raven said, speechless.

"Hey, Raven, why don't you resign from World Serpent?" Chen Luo suddenly said.

"Huh? I resigned from World Serpent? Then you'll support me? Will you support Little Kong and the others?" Raven rolled her eyes at Chen Luo.

"I'll take care of you, and Little Kong and the others' problems will be easy to solve. As for me, I don't have much influence in my own world, but in the Honkai World, while it might be an exaggeration to say I can walk around like a madman, it's no problem to say I can act with impunity," Chen Luo said with considerable confidence.

Chen Luo's Honkai Terminator can solve 99% of force-related problems.

Chen Luo, who is too deeply involved with Honkai energy to defeat them, but the Honkai Terminator can teach them a lesson.

Those not connected to Honkai energy are rendered useless by the Honkai Terminator, but Chen Luo could easily crush someone of that strength with one hand.

The combined abilities of the Herrscher of Domination, the Herrscher of Corrosion, and the Herrscher of Knowledge Herrscher resolve 99% of non-military issues.

"Alright, alright, I'll come to the bar often, really. Let me tell you, bosses with such a humble attitude like you are prone to losing employees, or employees might take the opportunity to raise prices or something." After reluctantly agreeing, Raven didn't forget to teach Chen Luo some business wisdom.

"That's good. Raven, my Raven..."

Chen Luo felt he was getting closer and closer to his goal of sleeping with the bartender in the attic on the third floor.

Ahem, just kidding.

However, Raven did a really good job as a bartender.

Chen Luo had long been thinking about finding a waiter or bartender for the bar.

At first, Chen Luo naturally thought of some famous bartenders in anime and games.

Take Diona, the bartender in Genshin Impact, for example. She's an excellent bartender, but Chen Luo rejected her the moment he thought of her.

Even a terrible bartender can make a decent drink with the help of the bar. So bartending skills aren't the most important thing; the most important thing is how to squeeze more money out of customers.

Given Diona's dislike for alcoholics, she probably drove all the businesses away.

Then Chen Luo thought of using a puppet as a substitute, which was a very good idea, but there was no suitable candidate yet.

But today's sudden inspiration led Chen Luo to find an excellent bartender.

Of course, Raven, the bartender, is not without his flaws.

That's Raven's bartending and cooking skills; those are real dishes.

I've just crossed the threshold of beginner and barely reached the proficient level.

Even with the support of a bar, one can at most improve their cooking and bartending skills to the master level.

This is nowhere near as good as the ones Chen Luo made by hand.

Therefore, while Raven as a bartender, Chen Luo also had to stay in the bar, serving as the template for the bar's automated production of alcoholic beverages and food.

"By the way, Raven, do you have any work clothes? This outfit would be perfect for a mercenary, but it might be a bit too much for a bartender..." Chen Luo said tactfully after looking Raven up and down.

"Yes, I do have them, and of course you can wear them, but..."

"But what?"

"You'll have to pay more."

"... No problem, you'll get two work points every day if you wear the uniform to work." Chen Luo paused for a moment and then nodded.

In any case, work points are of no value to Chen Luo.

Raven wants to exchange work points for a wish, then the other party must want to fulfill that wish, so naturally a corresponding request will be made.

As compensation, giving the other party the additional $100 was even simpler for Chen Luo.

Even without using his massive gold reserves, Chen Luo could easily use the Herrscher of Corrosion Authority siphon off a portion of ill-gotten gains from a wealthy but unscrupulous businessman or politician, launder it through various channels, and then transfer it to Raven's account.

With Raven promoting their services, Chen Luo was only responsible for watching to make sure there were no missed commissions. This greatly reduced Chen Luo 'River God mental activity, making it easier for him to resist the murderous aura and malevolent energy that were impacting his mind.

Moreover, even when not resisting the killing intent and evil energy, Chen Luo can concentrate on carving his puppets, which saves Chen Luo a lot of time.

"By the way, Chen Luo, when are you going to World Serpent? Tomorrow will be the 5th day." Raven suddenly said to Chen Luo after seeing that there were no guests and that Chen Luo was in a drowsy state.

"Huh? It's already been 5 days? So fast?" Chen Luo, who was using killing intent and baleful aura to enhance his mental strength, asked after a moment of surprise.

"Of course, would I lie to you?"

"..." Chen Luo paused for a moment, then looked up at the 10% discount countdown on the talent panel.

"Raven, although I'm in a brain-damaged state right now, I'm not really brain-damaged. Tomorrow is only the fourth day, okay?" Chen Luo sighed helplessly.

"Oh, really? Then I must have misremembered. So when are you going?" Raven paused in wiping the cup.

Actually, the bar's glasses and plates don't need to be cleaned up by the staff because they are automatically recycled. But Raven, who comes from a bar background, is used to wiping the glasses.

You can't exactly clean a gun in a bar, can you?

"How about the day after tomorrow?" Chen Luo thought for a moment and said.

In fact, if Raven hadn't reminded Chen Luo that it was on his schedule, he would have completely forgotten about it.

Chen Luo had actually been avoiding getting entangled with the people of the Elysian Realm.

Chen Luo was unsure whether those Flame-Chasers recognized him or how much they knew about him. He wondered if meeting them would affect his actions 50,000 years ago.

If I change my course of action, will it have a significant impact on the world?

Sometimes knowing your fate in advance isn't a good thing.

However, the World Serpent is not entirely equivalent to the Elysian Realm, so the problem is not too big.

Although the above speculations sound somewhat timid, this is exactly what Chen Luo, who feels as if he bears the fate of the entire world on his shoulders, thinks.

In his spare time, Chen Luo sometimes wondered if he had encountered Mobius instead of the Herrscher of Knowledge earlier, would he have not hesitated to save the Previous Era?

Or perhaps Chen Luo never met Theresa, never received the mission to find Kiana, never met Mei and the others, never knew Raven, never knew Little Kong... and was completely cut off from the Honkai Impact 3rd World!

Would I then do my best to save the Previous Era?

Chen Luo, caught between two worlds, is now under considerable pressure.

After all, if he wanted to, he could indeed kill the Herrscher of the End.

"The day after tomorrow? Sure. But not tomorrow?"

"I probably won't have time tomorrow. I have to save the world tomorrow," Chen Luo said helplessly.

"Saving the world? If you don't want to go, you don't want to go. Why make excuses?" Raven rolled her eyes at Chen Luo.

"Okay, to be honest with you, I was actually planning to go and slay a dragon, and then drag out some Abyss Prince and beat him up," Chen Luo said truthfully.

This time, Chen Luo wasn't lying; it was the truth.

"Really?" Raven looked at Chen Luo with some skepticism.

Raven wondered if Chen Luo could tell two lies in a row.

"Why would I lie to you? Are you interested in going? If you are, I can take you," Chen Luo asked.

Is there any compensation?

"...No."

"Never mind then." Raven shook his head.

Who would want to do a job without pay?

"Ah Luo, Ah Luo, give me a few more of those dark chocolate bars." The Herrscher of Knowledge suddenly ran over and patted Chen Luo on the shoulder.

"Huh? Didn't I just give you 600?" Chen Luo was stunned.

Does the Herrscher of Knowledge eat this stuff so fast? I eat one every 10 minutes, but she eats 600 in less than an hour?

"What are you thinking? Of course, it's impossible to eat them all. I've left 521." The Herrscher of Knowledge said with a grin.

"So, why don't you eat it?" Chen Luo asked, puzzled.

"..."

"Smack!" The Herrscher of Knowledge slapped Chen Luo on the head with a chop.

"Quickly, give me three now," the Herrscher of Knowledge said coldly.

Does this person not have a brain?

Or is this guy just obsessed with Primogem?

"What do you need three for?" Although Chen Luo was still puzzled, Chen Luo obediently took them out so as not to get another chop to the head.

"Mei and the others said they were curious about the taste, so I decided to let them try it," the Herrscher of Knowledge said with a hint of malice.

"Hmm, this doesn't feel like something Mei would say, it's more like Kiana's."

"Yes, you guessed right." The Herrscher of Knowledge confirmed this.

"I hope they'll like the taste of these chocolate bars." The Herrscher of Knowledge almost burst out laughing on the spot.

"Xiao Shi, I need to remind you, this thing is very expensive," Chen Luo whispered.

"Oh, I understand. I'll put it in the account for now." The Herrscher of Knowledge waved his hand.

"Accounts? What accounts?" This time it was Chen Luo's turn to be shocked.

Chen Luo didn't recall keeping any accounts, especially not those Herrscher of Knowledge.

How would I know?

"... I don't know what you're talking about? Do we need to keep track of our relationship? Besides, debts need to be repaid." Chen Luo felt even more troubled.

"Hey, I can just pay it back myself, right? Just remind me when the account is full. Okay, I'm going upstairs now," the Herrscher of Knowledge said casually.

"This guy really loves to joke around." Chen Luo smiled and didn't take it to heart.

Then Chen Luo added three dark chocolate bars to the notepad page of the talent panel.

Chen Luo was quite curious: if this debt were to be fully recorded, what excuse would the Herrscher of Knowledge be able to use?

Or what should the other party do?

As for the price of the Herrscher of Knowledge...

Let's estimate it to be...+∞ first.

But then again, the Herrscher of Knowledge ate that chocolate bar really fast. Can I really afford to support her?
