A Prophecy-Type Talent User? A Hydro Vision? Hydromancy?

Greed is indeed the greatest Original Sin.

The girl's innocence is undeniable, but after joining the Inner World, she has to endure this cruelty.

Even Chen Luo, who had just entered the Dark World, or rather Inner World, had some understanding of this, so the other party naturally needed to know as well.

"Let me think. To break the illusion, one must first firmly believe that this is not reality, secondly, have extraordinary mental resilience, and thirdly, have the ability to awaken beyond human perception. If none of the above are available, then use pain to stimulate it, pain..." The girl muttered to herself, her eyes gradually brightening.

After the girl tore off all the silk threads from her body, she turned around and looked behind her. On the wooden table behind her, there was a sharp blade that had penetrated deep into the wood.

That was the sharp blade that the girl threw after she noticed Chen Luo's voice before she was completely trapped in the multi-layered illusion. Now, the girl quickly took two steps and snatched it from her hand.

The girl looked at the sharp blade in her hand, hardened her heart, and then plunged the blade into her own abdomen.

Just as the knife was about to pierce her abdomen, the girl suddenly felt that her body was completely unable to move.

The girl stiffly turned her head to look at Chen Luo, but this was not her will; it came from a forced command.

"I won't stop you from stabbing yourself, but don't stab your abdomen. If blood splatters out and stains your clothes, it'll be hard to explain. Stab your thigh instead," Chen Luo reminded him.

"Haha, I knew it! This must be an illusion. You got so nervous when you saw me trying to hurt myself to escape the illusion!" But the girl's thought process was clearly different from ordinary people.

"..." Chen Luo felt for a moment that he had controlled an idiot.

Chen Luo doesn't have complete control over the other person's soul yet. It's not that he can't, but Chen Luo just wants to know what the other person is capable of doing.

But now it seems this person really can't stay idle.

"Break!" The girl's heart gathered strength and conviction, and then she plunged the needle into her abdomen and leg.

"It hurts so much!!!" Tears instantly welled up in the girl's eyes.

It is clear that the girl had been in contact with the Dark World for half a year, but had not received any rigorous training. She simply entered the Church as A-rank Talent User.

After all, with spiritual energy not yet fully recovered, A-rank Talent User are a very important resource.

"How is this possible? You haven't even Illusion Breaking yet! Your illusion technique is terrifying!" Seeing that her thigh was still bleeding, the girl looked at Chen Luo with surprise and shock.

"... It seems that giving dolls too much of their own personality isn't always a good thing," Chen Luo sighed.

However, Chen Luo did not intend to change his mind. After all, only when the puppet has self-awareness can it issue tasks, and Chen Luo did not intend to give up this opportunity to take advantage of the situation.

Simple dolls are so boring.

However, for this simpleton in front of me... I'll just use the power of the Thousand-Man Herrscher to make her believe that this is no longer an illusion and that she is now my puppet.

Otherwise, who knows what other trouble he might cause?

"...Master." The moment Chen Luo's thoughts changed, the girl's thoughts also changed.

As a puppet that is 100% controlled, Chen Luo can make the girl believe that his every word and action is his own will without her knowing.

"Now you believe you're a puppet, right?" Chen Luo sighed.

"I believe you, I believe you." The girl nodded, tears welling up in her eyes.

"Master, can you help me heal my leg? It hurts so much," the girl said, her voice trembling with tears.

[Ding! You have a new request!]

"From now on, you can still call me Boss." Chen Luo said as he began to stitch up the girl's wound with silk thread.

"Understood, boss."

The girl's wound wasn't deep, which was because Chen Luo intentionally controlled the girl's strength. And since this was no longer an illusion, the girl was indeed bleeding.

Fortunately, Chen Luo's stitching skills were superb, and since the other party was his own puppet, he had a skill bonus. Therefore, in just a few seconds, the girl's thigh stopped bleeding. After wiping it with a tissue, he found that the original wound was almost invisible, and the skin had returned to its smooth state.

The higher the grade of suture, the faster the wound heals.

If it's a cellular-level suture, the body can even heal instantly.

This is the power of a puppeteer's stitching skills.

"Alright, I've finished stitching you up. I'll use my spiritual power to repair it, and you'll be fully recovered in about half an hour."

That's what they say, but the stitched wound won't reopen even if the other party fights again right now. It just goes to show that the higher the stitching skill, the more outrageous it becomes.

"Don't look so gloomy, young lady. I think your best friend is right. Becoming my puppet is your chance to rise to the top. And as long as I don't interfere with your mind, you'll still be you." Chen Luo comforted the girl, seeing her so distressed.

In Chen Luo's view, all his puppets are beneficial producers of Primogem. Chen Luo currently has 4 puppets, not counting the half puppets.

Yae Sakura gave Chen Luo a four-star mission, Welt gave him a three-star mission, and this idiot gave him a two-star mission.

As for the Abyss Mage, he hasn't issued any quests yet, but that's only a matter of time.

100 Primogem easily obtained.

This girl is even better than Venti.

Therefore, it is still necessary to maintain relationships on a daily basis.

Rather than becoming Chen Luo's master, he would prefer to become friends with these puppets. After all, only after becoming friends would they feel comfortable asking Chen Luo for help, allowing Chen Luo to extract the Primogem.

Of course, before becoming friends, they must first be branded with an inviolable bond; this is the underlying logic of all dolls. Just as the underlying logic of the original Void Archive was to eliminate Honkai.

"Want to give it a try? Boss, you haven't changed my way of thinking, have you?" The girl looked at Chen Luo expectantly.

"Don't worry, it's definitely been changed." Chen Luo nodded decisively.

"!!!" The girl's face turned pale instantly.

"Ah, but don't worry too much. It's just to prevent you from betraying me and to make you believe that you are already my puppet. That's all."

"Well, that's alright." The girl felt that this level of mandatory enforcement was still acceptable.

"So I've already told you, following me will guarantee you a meteoric rise to success."

"Really? Then do you have spirit stones, boss?"

"Huh?" Chen Luo was taken aback.

Ling Shi Chen Luo knew that spirit stones were a cultivation resource needed by spiritual power practitioners.

The world has now experienced Spiritual Energy Revival, filled with spiritual and magical energy. As long as one cultivates on their own, they can naturally achieve some success.

Even newly awakened Talent User, without cultivating, will receive beginner benefits, allowing Talent User bodies to absorb a certain amount of spiritual energy on their own.

Spirit stones are like small batteries. Absorbing spiritual energy from spirit stones is naturally faster than absorbing spiritual energy from the air, unless you are in some kind of Grotto-heaven blessed land.

To put it bluntly, it's just like the spirit stones in those fantasy and cultivation novels. Chen Luo now even suspects that those cultivation novels, fantasy novels, and Western fantasy novels that have become popular since the 21st century might have been prepared for the Spiritual Energy Revival.

Reading more novels will definitely increase one's acceptance of the Spiritual Energy Revival.

Thinking about it carefully, it's not entirely impossible.

"I don't have any spirit stones." Chen Luo shrugged and gave up.

Chen Luo indeed did not have any spirit stones, and he had never even seen one before.

You might not believe it, but Chen Luo, a dignified [EX-level talent], has never even seen a spirit stone.

Chen Luo was also puzzled. Given his relationship with Liu Wenxuan, it was impossible for the other party not to give him an initial gift pack. It wasn't that Chen Luo was taking advantage of the situation, but the discount was already 60%, so giving him spirit stones should be normal, right?

Moreover, the equipment Liu Wenxuan gave Chen Luo was worth far more than spirit stones.

Could it be that he forgot?

Or perhaps Yun Xia thought Liu Wenxuan gave her spirit stones, Liu Wenxuan thought Yun Xia gave her spirit stones, Yun Lian'er thought Yun Xia and Liu Wenxuan both gave her spirit stones...

As a result, no one received any spirit stones.

However, the problem wasn't really a big one for Chen Luo, because he didn't rely on Chen Luo stones to cultivate at all; Chen Luo cultivated using the Vision.

You might not believe it, but the cultivation speed using the Vision is much faster than cultivating with spirit stones.

Therefore, spirit stones were completely useless to Chen Luo, and he never even considered getting one for cultivation.

"Boss, you don't even have spirit stones, what are you talking about?" The girl gave Chen Luo a disdainful look.

"... I can make you run naked around the villa area three times, do you believe me?" Chen Luo said calmly, arms crossed.

"I'm sorry, I was wrong." The girl admitted her mistake instantly, with a speed that was astonishing.

"No spirit stones, yet you promise to make someone rich and powerful... Liar." Although she admitted defeat, the girl remained stubborn.

"... Fine, just reintroduce yourself." Chen Luo was too lazy to get angry with this unlucky kid.

After all, the other party was indeed unlucky.

"My name is Xiao Ke'er, female, 18 years old, A-rank Talent User, my ability is to Control Presence, and my spiritual power cultivation progress is relatively fast. I am currently recruited into the church as an unofficial member. I came back this time for summer vacation and took on a mission. By the way, I have a terrible friend with Prophecy Talent."

As she finished speaking, the girl... no, Xiao Ke'er's resentment was almost overflowing.

Chapter 188 Prophecy Talent User? A Water-Based Vision? Water Divination Technique?

"Xiao Ke'er? Kero? That's a nice name."

"How did you know my nickname?" Xiao Ke'er asked in surprise.

"Well, back to the main topic, Prophecy Talent User... Yvette mentioned this term before I killed her, let me elaborate." Chen Luo recalled what Yvette had said to him before she died.

Yvette's original plan was to kill Chen Luo first without revealing it, then wait a few days until Yun Xia and the others got anxious, before throwing Chen Luo's head at them, making them instantly furious, and then naturally leading to a fight.

Moreover, given the opponent's War Angel talent, Chen Luo had reason to suspect that this guy intended to start a war. After all, for S-rank Talent User to fight each other, at a time when Spiritual Energy Revival, it was already a kind of declaration of war.

At the time, Yvette said that the War Domain could isolate the detection of S-level Prophecy Talent User, ensuring that no one else would know in advance that Chen Luo had been killed by the other party.

Then... Yvette was killed by Chen Luo.

Sigh, what can you do when the other person is an angel?

"Talent User rarely reveal their talents to the public, but during church audits, they are required to report most of their talent information, which is practically the same as announcing their talents. My friend was the one who brought me into the church, so I know a bit about her talents."

"Prophecy Talent User are definitely a minority among all Talent User, and they are the kind of people that each faction protects. But in reality, the talents of Prophecy Talent User are not as powerful as imagined. They may only play a role at critical moments. So for the Talent User themselves, it is not so friendly if they are lone wolves, but if they have a powerful force behind them, they can live a good life."

"The abilities of those with Prophecy Talent User are mostly related to prophecy, estimation, astrology, and foresight, and my friend's talent is astrology, specifically the extremely rare water astrology."

"Hmm? Water divination?" Chen Luo suddenly became alert.

"Ah, water divination is actually a rather mysterious branch of astrology. It has been passed down since ancient times. It sounds a bit unreliable, but in reality, my friend's divination is quite accurate. However, she can't divine everything, especially not just for profit. This is something that bothers her a lot."

"Just like every Talent User has their own constraints, a Prophecy Talent User like her, whose abilities seem to touch upon the taboos of the world, naturally has even greater constraints. One of her constraints is that she cannot use astrology for profit."

"Because of the characteristics of her original talent, her life cannot be too luxurious, otherwise the accuracy of astrology will decrease. Therefore, she needs a good friend to help her out regularly, and I am that good friend."

Despite saying that, the girl always felt like she was being taken advantage of.

There is no doubt that the other party's family background is not poor, but because of their innate characteristics, they cannot be too rich. Therefore, guided by astrology, they chose a good friend, namely Xiao Ke'er.

Before Xiao Ke'er knew that the other party was Talent User, their relationship gradually improved after the other party helped her a few times and she helped the other party a few times in return. Later, after she became Talent User, the other party invited her into the church.

After learning about the other person's talent, Xiao Ke'er did not ask him to do a divination for her because of her previous help and treats. It wasn't until she was about to go home after graduation that the other person finally gave her a divination slip.

That means if you accept the Yvette series of quests, you will rise to great heights.

I'll give you a piece of my mind.

MMP

You won't be able to treat us anymore!

He even said he'd come visit me during summer vacation. Play with my ass!

It's all gone, everything! The luxury packages and chauffeured transportation are all gone!

Xiao Ke'er gets angry whenever her best friend is mentioned.

"Hmm, that Kero, the friend you mentioned, her talent might come from some game, and she also has a Vision or something?" Chen Luo said, taking out his wind-type Vision.

Well, the more Chen Luo listened to this Kero talk about astrologers, the more it sounded like Mona, whether it was her water divination or her frugal lifestyle of eating grass...

"Vision? So you play Genshin Impact too? Oh wait, so you're a Genshin Impact character?" the Kero exclaimed in surprise.

"Wait a minute, I've been wandering around outside with the Vision for so long, the Church should know I'm the holder of the Wind-type Vision, right? How come you didn't get the information?" Chen Luo was even more surprised than Kero.

Chen Luo seems to have never hidden the fact that he possesses the Wind-type Vision. Chen Luo even wears the Vision around his neck. If the other party still doesn't know this, then they must be blind.

"Uh, I didn't look carefully." The Kero scratched her head sheepishly.

After all, Kero n't a professional; she was just brought in to make up the numbers. She was given this important task because of the other party's identity, and Chen Luo wasn't originally a key person to be monitored.
