The Unhinged, Heavily Modified Explosive Honkai Crystal Bomb!
To perform the Spirit Awakening Technique on Dodoco, the first step is to sew Dodoco up. This is very easy for Chen Luo, especially since Klee kindly provided the sewing tools.
The problem lies in how to Spirit Awakening Technique.
The Spirit Awakening Technique becomes increasingly difficult the more times you attempt it if you fail the first time.
Moreover, Chen Luo currently lacks Soul Powder, the best auxiliary item for spiritual arts, but fortunately, Chen Luo has chocolate bars.
"In a sense, the darkness that is the embodiment of extreme negative emotions, after being purified by the talent panel, is a kind of pure spiritual product. Although its effect may not be as good as the genuine Soul Powder, it is not much different."
In other words, chocolate bars can not only be eaten, but also used as spellcasting materials.
As Chen Luo muttered to himself, he took out a chocolate bar and started shaving it with a knife.
This chocolate bar isn't usable everywhere. For example, the chocolate-like layer on top can't be used; you have to remove it first. Actually, it would be better and more convenient to remove that layer and lick it, but Chen Luo always felt that would be a bit perverted.
Because the stick will be used to crush it into Soul Powder, and the powder is used to Spirit Awakening Technique. The target of the Spirit Awakening Technique is Dodoco, and Dodoco Klee's best friend.
"Hmm, can't waste it." After peeling off the top layer that looked like dark chocolate, Chen Luo picked up the tissue paper underneath and poured the dark chocolate into his mouth.
"Uh, it's a bit bitter." Chen Luo's expression twisted for a moment.
This is what it tastes like if you only eat chocolate and don't use breadsticks as a condiment.
"Sigh, let's keep shaving." Chen Luo sighed as he took out another chocolate bar.
The optimal ratio for Spirit Awakening Technique, given Dodoco's current situation, is one year's worth of Soul Powder, which is roughly equivalent to two chocolate bars.
Remove the chocolate from the surface of the chocolate bar, then crush the bar into a fine powder, and then use magic to restore it to its original spiritual material state.
Next, we can cast a spell on Dodoco... oh no, I mean, activate its spirit.
"Sister Fu Hua, do you think Chen Luo can get Dodoco to actually speak?" Outside the operating room... outside the confinement room, Klee looked at the Herrscher of Knowledge with some worry.
"Don't worry, although Alo may not be omnipotent, he will definitely not be ambiguous when it comes to completing a commission." The Herrscher of Knowledge patted his chest and gave his assurance.
Do those Herrscher of Knowledge not know Chen Luo? Chen Luo generally takes anything related to commissions quite seriously, and he rarely exaggerates. He accepts if he can, and lets go if he can't.
Of course, even if there are some commissions that Chen Luo cannot complete right now, Chen Luo will still accept them and wait until he can complete them.
However, judging from Chen Luo's entourage, it's clear that this matter isn't beyond Chen Luo capabilities. At the very least, those Herrscher of Knowledge should have some confidence in Chen Luo.
Klee and the Herrscher of Knowledge are now like family members waiting outside the operating room, except one is the patient's family member and the other is the doctor's family member, and the doctor's family member is still trying to persuade the patient's family member.
Just as the two were chatting, the sound of the door opening interrupted their conversation.
"Doctor, how is the patient?" The Herrscher of Knowledge stepped forward and asked anxiously.
"..." Chen Luo, who was about to speak, was unable to answer for a moment.
It completely stumped me.
"I have successfully completed my mission. The patient is fine and has even regained his speech." Seeing that Klee and the Herrscher of Knowledge could only play along with their act, Chen Luo the restored Dodoco to Klee.
"Dodoco!" Although Klee didn't know if Dodoco could speak, at least Dodoco to normal, so Klee was still very happy.
"Beep beep..." A very faint sound rang out, so faint that Klee felt it might just be her imagination.
"Dodoco..."
But when Klee held Dodoco in her palm, the voice came from Dodoco again, which made Klee's eyes widen.
"Dodoco..." Perhaps sensing its owner's slightly shocked and excited mood, Dodoco's voice became a little louder.
"Dodoco, Dodoco can really talk now!" Klee jumped up instantly.
"Dudu!" Infected by its owner, Dodoco's voice also carried a hint of excitement.
This time, even the Herrscher of Knowledge heard it clearly.
Dodoco's voice is so cute that just listening to it makes you want to give it a good rub.
Companion dolls are like this.
Companion dolls are the lowest-level spiritual dolls, but they are not easy to make, so their cost-effectiveness is quite low.
Companion dolls usually only say 1 to 5 words, but since Dodoco can't talk anyway, Chen Luo simply set only two words for it.
"Dodoco" and "Dudu"
As a doll to accompany children, it is essential that it has a pleasant voice and a cute appearance.
Moreover, companion dolls also possess a certain degree of intelligence; their voices will change in response to the owner's emotions.
Most importantly, these companion dolls don't talk all the time and in all places, Herrscher of the Heart. They only talk when their owner needs them.
[Ding! Mission complete]
[Gain 150 Primogem + Special Explosives Studies (Master) + Klee's Affection Level increased by 20]
If it weren't for the fact that he felt it was inappropriate for him to jump up now, Chen Luo would have jumped up to join Klee in her happiness.
In addition to Melee Grandmaster, Cold Weapon Grandmaster, and Stealth Master, Chen Luo Chen Luo finally acquired a fourth master-level or higher skill.
Thanks to Chen Luo's puppeteer skills, he successfully maximized the rewards for this mission.
Perhaps because Klee's initial affinity was already high, or perhaps because the Master-level skill reward was too high-level, the Primogem reward and affinity reward did not increase even with a successful mission.
However, Chen Luo's mastery of Special Explosives Studies has already made him a fortune.
Good heavens, this is master-level Special Explosives Studies!
However, upon closer inspection, Klee is actually the most abnormal, possessing a master-level special skill at such a young age, and it's an advanced crafting skill at that.
Tsk tsk.
Is Klee's mother a master of special explosives? Or perhaps an all-around master?
Moreover, perhaps due to the Special Explosives Studies, and the fact that it specifically includes a small portion of alchemy, Chen Luo's alchemy skills have also reached the proficient level.
However, the alchemical knowledge contained in Special Explosives Studies is only about explosions.
Unfortunately, since Chen Luo acquired alchemy through a skill derivative this time, his Furniture Mastery did not work and he did not raise his alchemy to the mastery level.
However, it's not a big problem. Once we get the alchemy books that Acting Grand Master Jean promised, we can raise our alchemy level to proficiency.
"Since Chen Luo has really made Dodoco speak, then Klee will keep her promise and teach Chen Luo how to make bombs. Let's go to the library. Oh, right, before we go to the library, we need to bring the materials we need. Chen Luo, you go first, I'll be there in a bit."
After Klee finished speaking to herself, she ran off in a flash before Chen Luo could reply. It was clear that Klee was very excited.
"What are you going to the library for?" Chen Luo asked after Klee ran away.
"Hmm, she's probably going to find Lisa. After all, Aunt Lisa has her own workshop, and we can use it to make explosives," the Herrscher of Knowledge said, watching Klee run off into the distance.
"Alo, why are you out here? I was thinking of going to see you." Just as Chen Luo and the Herrscher of Knowledge were about to go to the library, Eula came out of the Acting Grand Master Jean's office and happened to see the two of them.
"You were put in solitary confinement and you're out so quickly?"
"... You might not believe it, but I just wanted to find a quiet place to tinker with something, and then Klee recommended the solitary confinement room to me. It wasn't that I was locked up in the solitary confinement room," Chen Luo explained.
Chen Luo thought that the Acting Grand Master Jean would explain for him, but now it seems that he didn't.
"Is that so?" Eula really hadn't expected this.
In a sense, the solitary confinement cell is indeed a fairly quiet place where one won't be disturbed by others. As long as Klee doesn't make a mistake, basically no one will go to the solitary confinement cell.
"Eula, what did you and the Acting Grand Master Jean talk about? It took quite a long time." Chen Luo's spiritual awakening of Dodoco took almost an hour, including pre-treatment suturing, material preparation, and the formal commencement.
Discussing things for an hour is indeed going all out.
"It wasn't entirely about discussing matters; we also had some tea together and advised each other to rest for a while. Sigh, the main thing we discussed was probably the reward for the Stormterror incident. Speaking of which, we have to thank you for that. This time, we really got our revenge on the entire Mondstadt."
As she spoke, Eula's expression was a mixture of smugness and melancholy, lacking the usual thrill of revenge.
After all, Eula's desire for revenge in Mondstadt is a valid excuse.
Of course, revenge must be taken.
The grudges that should be remembered must still be remembered.
"However, since we just resolved the Stormterror incident, this matter hasn't been made public yet, and we need to explain it to the public in a gentler way," Eula added casually.
"Now we should look forward to seeing how those people will react when they hear you saved Mondstadt. I'm really looking forward to it. Hopefully, this will change your treatment in Mondstadt City and change the Mondstadt's preconceived notions about you," Chen Luo nodded and said.
"Thank you. I didn't do anything in this incident, but I was credited with a minor contribution, which still makes me feel a little awkward."
For Eula, such a preemptive strike was completely unnecessary, and this kind of credit, which felt like a gift from a friend, made Eula feel both unable to refuse and extremely awkward.
"Sigh, don't feel guilty about this. Think about it carefully, Venti, Diluc, Jean, and Aunt Lisa, didn't they all play no role? You weren't the only one who was just there for show. Do you feel much better now? In this whole thing, I was the only one in charge, oh, and Fu Hua too."
That's the truth; throughout the whole affair, only Chen Luo was in control.
Everyone else was simply slacking off.
"...If Lisa hears you say that, Lisa 'll get angry again." Eula sighed.
Although Eula and Lisa weren't very close, Eula at least knew that Lisa didn't want Chen Luo to call her "Auntie".
"Oh, right, you want a basic set of alchemy equipment, right?" Eula suddenly said.
"Yes, what's wrong?"
"I've already spoken with the alchemist in the Knights of Favonius and bought a complete set of alchemical equipment from her. It's not expensive, so I hope you don't mind," Eula said.
"The alchemist of the Knights of Favonius? You mean Sucrose?"
"Yes, that's right, it's her, you know her too?"
"Originally, the Acting Grand Master Jean wanted me to learn alchemy from her, but I later chose a better teacher. As for alchemical equipment, I just need to buy some inexpensive ones; I don't need anything too fancy," Chen Luo said, shaking his head.
Chen Luo himself was not interested in studying alchemy, or rather, he was more interested in Chen Luo 'Klee explosion than in alchemy.
After all, Art is Explosion.
"But Eula, are you planning to accept the reward for your achievements in your own name or in the name of your family?" Chen Luo then looked at Eula with some concern.
Eula is a good girl, Chen Luo can be sure of that, but Eula's family is definitely not a good family.
Stubborn and rigid, and always thinking about making a comeback, but not in the way of making a comeback, and not in the way of making achievements and winning forgiveness through one's own efforts, but in the way of always thinking about crooked ways.
It can be said that the family is Eula's biggest obstacle.
"Of course, it's on my personal behalf. After all, if it were in the name of the family, who knows what my uncle would do with this opportunity." Thinking of this, Eula sighed deeply.
"Chen Luo!" While Chen Luo and Eula were discussing, Klee also arrived, carrying a large bag.
"Oh, it's Klee. You go to the library first, I'll be there soon," Chen Luo said to Klee.
"Then I'll go first," said the Herrscher of Knowledge.
"Alo, this is for you." After the Herrscher of Knowledge and Klee entered the library, Eula reached out and handed Chen Luo a piece of [Everfrost].
"Ah, thank you! This is..." Chen Luo asked, touching the slightly cold object in his hand.
"This is proof of friendship, an unyielding Everfrost." Eula stared intently into Chen Luo's eyes and said slowly.
Chapter 182 The Inhuman Demon's Modified Explosive Honkai Crystal Bomb!
"You are not allowed to use this as an alchemical material, do you hear me!"
Chen Luo stood in Aunt Lisa's alchemy workshop, recalling the last words Eula had said to him.
If Eula hadn't mentioned it, Chen Luo would have completely forgotten that this thing could actually be used as an alchemical material.
Chen Luo held up the piece of Everfrost in his hand, which was said to never melt, and pondered.
Of course, Chen Luo wouldn't actually be so heartless as to use this thing as an alchemical material.
It's at least a proof of friendship; if I use it, how can I face Eula again?
Venti? Don't worry about Venti. The proof of Venti's friendship is probably that Mora, but that Mora can be charged.
"First like this, then like this, then like this again, and the bomb will come out! Chen Luo, have you learned it yet?" Klee, who had quickly made a bomb, looked at Chen Luo with wide eyes.
"I've learned it." Chen Luo smiled somewhat reluctantly, then patted Klee's head.
Well, if Chen Luo hadn't already possessed master-level skills in Special Explosives Studies, Chen Luo really wouldn't have understood how Klee created a bomb that could blow up the entire Knights of Favonius.
Klee is definitely a bomb-making genius, but definitely not a good teacher.
