Their Commission Pay Is Not Right

(Can be purchased separately, each language mastery is 65 Origin Stones)

Chen Luo did indeed see English Mastery inside, as Human Linguistics Mastery included English, but Chen Luo no longer had the desire to purchase it.

Although Chen Luo currently had 65 Origin Stones, wasn't the problem with that talent itself?

"Good heavens, so there really are people with talent abilities in this world besides me. I don't know if their talent awakening process is similar to mine, but there's no doubt that this world indeed has special powers."

"Moreover, besides these strange talents, it's also possible there's power gained through cultivation. In short, this world seems to be very deep."

Looking at the various strange skills that accumulated to nearly 20,000 Origin Stones, Chen Luo admitted he was indeed cowardly.

Chen Luo never intended to use his special abilities for personal gain. Perhaps this was because Chen Luo wasn't in a situation of extreme poverty, and now it seemed that choice was correct.

"No, I must make things clear with Fu Hua later and tell her not to go around helping people. If she runs into someone tough, it'll be over," Chen Luo muttered.

The Herrscher of Knowledge didn't encounter any esper or cultivator yesterday, but that didn't mean she wouldn't today. If she kept going around helping people, something would eventually happen.

You can't walk by a river often without getting your shoes wet.

"If only I had shaken Sister Meng's hand yesterday. I wonder if she has any special abilities," Chen Luo suddenly felt a pang of regret.

"Look at them, then look at yourself. Other people's talents can be worth tens of thousands and seem to have explosive combat power. Look at yourself, you had to get some Traveler talent, resulting in no developed combat strength now." Chen Luo complained while opening his talent panel.

[Do you wish to sell the EX-level talent - Traveler?]

"Holy crap, can I sell it?" Chen Luo looked at the text that popped up on his talent panel, his face full of surprise.

[This talent sells for 1 million Origin Stones. Do you wish to sell it?] The talent panel displayed more text.

"Sell my foot! I'm not selling it! Whether I get those 1 million Origin Stones after selling it is another matter, but the talent would be gone, and I wouldn't be able to draw cards anymore. What use would I have for Origin Stones? To throw at people? Besides, only an idiot would give up this talent," Chen Luo grumbled.

Chen Luo never expected that one day he would argue with himself. No, to be precise, he would argue with his talent panel.

Or perhaps, after getting the talent panel, the probability of Chen Luo arguing with himself had been increasing.

"This world, the more you know, the more dangerous it truly is." After sighing about this matter, Chen Luo pedaled his bicycle, hurrying back even more earnestly.

Ever since he learned that there were likely other special ability users in this world, Chen Luo had been hesitant to use his Vision.

"Ha, you rushed back in such a hurry just to tell me this?" The Herrscher of Knowledge, who had been feeling a bit guilty about the messy and dirtied living room, had an exaggerated expression after hearing Chen Luo's account.

"Can you please believe me? I'm telling the truth. There really are special ability users in this world," Chen Luo said helplessly.

"I know that. I just didn't tell you yesterday. When I transmigrated to this world, there was no Honkai energy, but there was another peculiar energy. This power is no less than Honkai energy, and it's good for the body, unlike Honkai energy which erodes the body." Hearing Chen Luo say this, the Herrscher of Knowledge seemed to recall something.

"Why didn't you say so earlier!" Chen Luo remained silent for a moment before grabbing the Herrscher of Knowledge's ear and shouting.

"Let go, let go! Can you blame me? Shouldn't you blame yourself for not asking?" As Chen Luo pulled her ear, the Herrscher of Knowledge quickly reached out, grabbed Chen Luo's wrist, and with a snap, pinned him to the sofa.

"???" Chen Luo stared blankly at the ceiling, not understanding how he ended up pinned there.

Could it be that she lived up to her title as a Melee Grandmaster?

"Well, you're not getting any dinner tonight," Chen Luo said suddenly after pondering for a while.

"I'm sorry, I was wrong." The Herrscher of Knowledge quickly conceded.

Chapter 26: The Herrscher of Knowledge Has Altered Your Consciousness

"Xiao Shi, can we discuss something?" After using dinner as leverage to get the Herrscher of Knowledge to apologize, Chen Luo sat on the sofa and asked.

"Xiao Shi? What kind of strange nickname is that?"

"Don't you like it?" Chen Luo tilted his head.

"I can't say I dislike it, it's just a bit strange, but it's acceptable. It's better than Herrscher of Knowledge," the Herrscher of Knowledge nodded and said.

"Oh, right, what were you going to say?"

"It's about whether you can modify my consciousness," Chen Luo requested of the Herrscher of Knowledge.

"Huh? You want me to modify your consciousness? What kind of strange fetish is that?" The Herrscher of Knowledge was stunned by Chen Luo's outrageous statement.

"Or perhaps, you've finally realized that this Herrscher of Knowledge is peerless, beautiful, and heroic, and you intend to worship this immortal even more?"

"Do you believe that yourself? It's like this, besides that Vision, I also have a rather special ability called Furniture Mastery."

"Furniture Mastery? Jackie Chan? Then can you beat Thanos in a furniture factory?" Hearing Chen Luo's words, the Herrscher of Knowledge's interest was instantly piqued.

"How could that be? Of course, I haven't tried it. Listen to me first, don't interrupt. The use of this ability is that I can skillfully use and control all items that can be classified as household furniture." Chen Luo said to the Herrscher of Knowledge.

"Uh, this ability, it's good, really good. It definitely means your cooking will be delicious, right? No wonder your cooking is so good. But the problem arises again, are kitchen utensils considered furniture?" The Herrscher of Knowledge's mind was once again filled with questions.

"Did you hear what I just said clearly? I said household items. Anything that can be used in a home, I can control. Like kitchen knives, frying pans, why wouldn't they be considered household items?" Chen Luo interrupted the Herrscher of Knowledge's wild imagination again.

"That makes sense. Then you're quite amazing. After all, your cooking is truly delicious."

"Stop dwelling on whether the cooking is delicious or not. That's still not the point! The point is that yesterday I discovered another use for Furniture Mastery. If I modify my logic a bit, I can extend Furniture Mastery outwards. For example, if my family opened a bar, then the bar is also considered my home, and the things in the bar are naturally considered household items. So, I naturally learned how to make cocktails."

"That's amazing! Can you make me a drink then?"

"Minors can't drink, and if you interrupt me again, you're not getting dinner!" Chen Luo threatened the Herrscher of Knowledge.

Who knew why he needed so many paragraphs to say one sentence?

"Mhm, mhm." Sensing Chen Luo's determination to withhold dinner through the Herrscher of Knowledge's authority, the Herrscher of Knowledge quickly nodded.

"So I was thinking, if I imagine myself as a martial arts family, would weapons like sabers, spears, staffs, and clubs count as household items? Then would I be able to master their use directly? And this Vision, if I can understand it as a common household item, then wouldn't I also be able to skillfully master it," Chen Luo proposed the idea he had already envisioned in his mind.

"But the problem is I can't convince myself. I can't convince myself that a Vision is a common household item, nor can I convince myself that I'm from a martial arts family. I can only convince myself after certain things have become established facts. For example, if I actually owned a pub, then I could truly learn to mix drinks," Chen Luo said with some distress.

"I understand. So you want me to use the Herrscher of Knowledge's omnipotence to alter your consciousness, making you believe you're from a martial arts family, so you can skillfully use weapons like sabers, spears, and staffs." The Herrscher of Knowledge understood immediately.

"So, please," Chen Luo said seriously to the Herrscher of Knowledge.

"I thought it was something big. Leave it to me, and you don't even need to go through all that trouble. I'll directly modify your consciousness, making you believe all things are household items while preserving your rationality. Wouldn't that be enough? Martial arts family, what if you encounter a cross? What if you encounter firearms? So it's better to change your consciousness from another angle."

"You can do that?" Chen Luo was taken aback.

"Of course I can. Who do you think I am? I'm the Herrscher of Knowledge!" The Herrscher of Knowledge laughed proudly.

"Come, come, let me prove it to you. Herrscher of Knowledge, now modifying your consciousness..." The Herrscher of Knowledge sat cross-legged on the sofa, leaned forward, resting her hands on the sofa as she stared intently into Chen Luo's eyes.

At this moment, Chen Luo felt a slight stinging sensation in his head, about the same as being bitten hard by an insect.

However, this time Chen Luo did not use his guardian authority to stop the consciousness modification; instead, he accepted it.

Of course, Chen Luo also felt that in addition to what the Herrscher of Knowledge had promised, something else had been mixed into this consciousness modification.

"Is the consciousness modification successful now?" Since he didn't feel anything special, Chen Luo specifically asked the Herrscher of Knowledge.

"Mhm, it's successful," the Herrscher of Knowledge said after a long sigh of relief.

It seemed that modifying consciousness to this extent without damaging common sense was a bit strenuous for the Herrscher of Knowledge.

"But I always feel like you added some personal stuff..." Chen Luo mumbled.

"!!!"

What? Did he discover that I added [The Herrscher of Knowledge never washes dishes after eating] to him?

The Herrscher of Knowledge was shocked.

"Looking at your expression now, you really did add some personal stuff."

"What? You just tricked me?" The Herrscher of Knowledge was shocked again.

"Damn Herrscher of Knowledge, humanity will definitely defeat the Honkai," Chen Luo said again.

"Ah, what does your defeating the Honkai have to do with me? Besides, why would you defeat the Honkai? You're not a Valkyrie?" The Herrscher of Knowledge looked at Chen Luo as if he were an idiot.

"..." Chen Luo fell silent for a moment.

"What are you thinking about again?" Suddenly feeling a chill, the Herrscher of Knowledge shivered.

"I was thinking, you said before that the host body for one of your forms was actually a feather."

"Yes, what's the problem?" The Herrscher of Knowledge nodded.

"Well, for some reason, I now feel that feathers are also household items, so..."

"Wait, wait, what are you doing? Don't come over! I'm going to beat you up!" Seeing Chen Luo suddenly stand up, the Herrscher of Knowledge instantly flipped off the sofa and assumed a defensive stance.

"Don't be scared, I'm just trying it out, really just trying it out..." Chen Luo slowly approached the Herrscher of Knowledge.

"Not even once!"

"Bang!" The sound of a heavy object hitting the ground echoed.

Chen Luo was knocked out again...

Chapter 27: A Showdown with Herrscher Bao

"Oh, don't be angry anymore, okay?" Chen Luo took out an ice cream bar.

"Hmph!"

"I was wrong this time." Chen Luo took out some spicy strips.

"Hmph!"

"I won't dare to do it again next time." Chen Luo took out Primogems.

"Wait, what is this? Why isn't it food?" After accepting the ice cream bar and spicy strips, the Herrscher of Knowledge looked at the shiny object with a face full of confusion.

"You're not angry anymore, right? And in a way, I'm the victim, okay? To be honest, you really live up to your title of Melee Grandmaster." Chen Luo never understood why he, who was being thoroughly thrashed, had to apologize to the person thrashing him.

"Then I'll reluctantly forgive you," the Herrscher of Knowledge said magnanimously, looking at the ice cream bar and spicy strips.

Immortals should be magnanimous.

"But speaking of which, your ability is indeed a bit outrageous. If your strength wasn't so poor, you could have actually influenced my actions. How about letting me modify my consciousness again? Remove me from your Furniture Mastery." The Herrscher of Knowledge mumbled before saying to Chen Luo.

"No way. Who knows what personal stuff you'd add in there? Tell me, what personal stuff did you add just now?" Chen Luo asked.

"W-what personal stuff? Don't slander me for no reason," the Herrscher of Knowledge averted her gaze.

"It's fine if you don't want to say. But thanks to you, I've actually learned Swordsmanship Mastery now." A plain-looking long sword suddenly appeared in Chen Luo's hand. The moment he held the sword, Chen Luo felt as if it were an old friend he hadn't seen in years.

Chen Luo swung the sword in his hand lightly, and a sword energy instantly slashed out, bisecting a fly that was flying rapidly through the air.

"Swordsmanship Mastery plus Vision Usage Mastery, I should be able to moonlight as a swordsman now, right? The kind that can unleash sword energy." Chen Luo suddenly felt incredibly cool.

The kind of cool that's absolutely killer.

"Tch, you? You're not even a match for one of my hands." The Herrscher of Knowledge glanced disdainfully at Chen Luo.

"..." Chen Luo was speechless, because the Herrscher of Knowledge was telling the truth.

Before, Chen Luo thought Mastery was the highest level, because the only other rank he'd seen was Grandmaster.

Because of this, Chen Luo believed the gap in combat rank between himself and the Herrscher of Knowledge was only one level.

Later, after looking at Yun Lian'er's skill list, Chen Luo realized there was also a Master level.

[Book Reading Master] (Skill)

This skill was equivalent to remembering 80% after reading something once, but it wasn't quite photographic memory, hence only Master level.

Once it truly became photographic memory, that would be Grandmaster level.

This meant that Chen Luo's current Cold Weapon Mastery, which transformed from Furniture Mastery, needed to advance one level to become Cold Weapon Master, and then another level to become Cold Weapon Grandmaster.

And in the eyes of a Melee Grandmaster, whether you were a Master or had Mastery, you were all just weaklings.

"Alright, since you've helped me with my task, as repayment, I'll also reveal some of my secrets to you." After being put down a bit, Chen Luo realized there was always someone better. He then put away the Wufeng Sword in his hand.

"Secrets? What secrets?" The Herrscher of Knowledge's interest was instantly piqued.

"Secrets about why I like to do good deeds." Chen Luo paused before saying.
