Seeing Chen Luo so brazenly flying towards him through the air, One-Eyed Treasure simply spread his hands, activated anti-air mode, and fired several more shells. Chen Luo didn't even try to dodge.

Just as the shells were about to hit Chen Luo, they passed right through Chen Luo body and flew backward, leaving Lumine and Paimon, who were watching from behind, completely stunned.

This is called "Void Stealth".

There are two modes of Void Stealth: one is to directly stealth into Different World without letting the other party see your shadow, and the other is to be visible but untouchable.

Each has its own advantages.

The former is suitable for dodging damage and launching surprise attacks, while the latter is suitable for showing off.

Although Chen Luo looks very cool, it's a pity that One-Eyed Treasure is a war machine without emotions. So when he saw Chen Luo slowly descending to a level he could reach, One-Eyed Treasure started waving his arms and started the windmill mode.

When One-Eyed Treasure swings his two arms, they're like two giant pendulums, incredibly powerful. Especially once the initial velocity is high, it's hard for any monster to withstand several consecutive swings.

Chen Luo floated half a meter above the ground, quietly watching the Ruin Guard that were frantically spinning with their arms around him.

The giant swing of the Ruin Guard was getting faster and faster, but just as the Ruin Guard stepped 5 meters in front of Chen Luo, it all suddenly came to an abrupt stop.

The Ruin Guard's body seemed to freeze, his two arms, which were like pendulums, were stuck in mid-air, and he could no longer move forward.

Lumine and Paimon, who were standing a bit far away, couldn't see it clearly and were very curious about how Chen Luo had managed to do it.

Seeing that the Ruin Guard seemed to be under control, Lumine and Paimon gradually began to approach.

Chen Luo didn't look at Lumine and Paimon who were approaching, but instead snapped his fingers.

Instantly, countless black and red lines began to emerge. These densely packed threads extended from the void, tightly and intricately binding the Ruin Guard, rendering it unable to move.

Chen Luo's Herrscher of Domination Authority lines are quite concealed, but this is without the Herrscher of Corrosion Authority added. Once added, they will turn into black and red lines, making them very conspicuous.

The Herrscher of Corrosion Authority began to erode the entire body of the One-Eyed Treasure through the threads, and Chen Luo slowly stepped forward, then gently placed his palm on the One-Eyed Treasure's single eye.

Just like Herrscher of Domination Authority transformed into a talent, it can dominate and plunder the power of others. Although the uncertainty is somewhat high, it has been strengthened.

The same applies to the Herrscher of Corrosion Authority. The original Herrscher of Corrosion was a self-aware ultimate virus that could erode and control living and mechanical beings. After modification, it even gained the ability to erode some non-living entities.

The actual effect is somewhat similar to Lancelot's Noble Phantasm in Fate, where the Knight does not die from bare hands, but rather corrodes and controls the weapon.

However, it no longer possesses the ability to transform it into a Noble Phantasm and greatly enhance it.

Knight Never Dies Unarmed; one could even transform a lamppost into a Noble Phantasm and have it collide with an A-rank Noble Phantasm several times. Chen Luo could not do that.

However, it is possible to corrupt a One-Eyed Treasure, at least while maintaining the opponent's original strength.

Chen Luo placing his hand on the opponent's exposed weak point was also an activation of his ability, Furniture Mastery.

Although Chen Luo turned his Furniture Mastery into a full mastery ability, the essence of Furniture Mastery, besides mastery, is control.

With his mastery of erosion and Furniture Mastery, One-Eyed Treasure's body was gradually no longer his One-Eyed Treasure. As if about to launch a final attack, One-Eyed Treasure's core slowly lit up, intending to deliver a blow to Chen Luo's face.

Chen Luo gently tapped the exposed core of One-Eyed Treasure, and the other party instantly became half-paralyzed.

One-Eyed Treasure's biggest weakness is his exposed core. Using a slightly more common tool, which in the game manifests as a charged arrow attack, he will be in a semi-paralyzed state. If he is hit again in a short period of time, he will be completely silenced for a period of time.

However, Chen Luo didn't need to hurt him a second time, because once was enough.

In the ten seconds or so that his core was hit and he was paralyzed, One-Eyed Treasure was completely unable to recover.

If Chen Luo, as a puppeteer, can't handle this One-Eyed Treasure, then Chen Luo might as well give up.

Becoming a master puppeteer seems simple to Chen Luo, but it's actually anything but. It's a level that some people can't reach in their entire lives.

While it's true that this One-Eyed Treasure is a product of alchemy, he is also a puppet. As a puppet, he is a doll, and as a doll, unless he is too advanced, he has to listen to Chen Luo.

Especially these ownerless dolls.

Chen Luo gently removed his hand from the core area.

Although Chen Luo only had close contact with it for a short period of time, Chen Luo strength increased, and his mastery of Furniture Mastery would definitely improve faster as well.

Moreover, the Herrscher of Corrosion Authority has almost completely corrupted One-Eyed Treasure, and One-Eyed Treasure's entire body now presents a strange yet somewhat handsome black and red state.

After Chen Luo's palm left the core, all the threads snapped and fell onto the One-Eyed Treasure.

After the silk threads broke and fell on his body, One-Eyed Treasure regained his mobility but remained frozen in place until all the silk One-Eyed Treasure entered his body and slowly restored his original color. Only then did One-Eyed Treasure- One-Eyed Treasure slowly straighten up from his forward stance and stand in front of Chen Luo.

"What... what just happened? One-Eyed Treasure, is this resolved?" Lumine, who came up from behind, asked Chen Luo.

"It's considered resolved. The materials used to create this One-Eyed Treasure are somewhat special, at least more special than those used for ordinary Ruin Guard. Therefore, it is more resistant to the erosion of Wind Element and is also immune to a lot of physical attacks, which is why you couldn't beat it."

"This one-eyed little Bao is of very good quality. It's more sturdy and durable than the average One-Eyed Treasure. It's also more powerful and less prone to damage." As Chen Luo spoke, the One-Eyed Treasure suddenly moved.

"Watch out!" Lumine pulled a sword out of the void to save Chen Luo.

"Don't worry." Chen Luo waved his hand, letting the One-Eyed Treasure hold him in its palm without any resistance, and then turned around and sat on the One-Eyed Treasure's palm.

"Now this One-Eyed Treasure is mine. How about it? Pretty cool, right?" Chen Luo sat on the One-Eyed Treasure's palm and said to Lumine below with a smile.

One-Eyed Treasure's palms don't have soft padding, so it's a bit hard to sit on, but this is One-Eyed Treasure, who could refuse to ride on one -One-Eyed Treasure?

"So handsome!" Paimon and Lumine replied in unison.

"So, do you want it or not?" Chen Luo asked.

"C-Can I have it?" Lumine's eyes widened instantly.

"Of course. I want this One-Eyed Treasure, but I already know how to make One-Eyed Treasure, so it's not very useful to me. Besides, I don't need any more dolls. So if you want it, I'll give it to you." Chen Luo said quite generously.

"Let me think about it, I want it." Lumine nodded quickly.

"Then this is for you."

[Ding! Mission complete. Mission a great success. Primogem and Crystals rewards doubled. You have received 300 Primogem + 300 Crystals.]

Comfortable!

If Chen Luo's guess is correct, helping Lumine kill One-Eyed Treasure would be a success; capturing One-Eyed Treasure alive and letting Lumine take him back to collect a larger reward would be a great success; and directly controlling One-Eyed Treasure and handing him over to Lumine would be an even greater success.

Chen Luo snapped his fingers, and as if receiving a command, One-Eyed Treasure gently placed his other hand at the same level as Lumine's calf. Lumine hesitated for a moment before sitting down.

Paimon quickly followed and sat down next to Lumine.

One-Eyed Treasure's hands are quite big.

One-Eyed Treasure brought Yingmei to Chen Luo's side, and then Chen Luo reached out his hand to Lumine.

"Give me your hand," Chen Luo said.

"Oh." Lumine nodded and extended her right hand.

Chen Luo took Lumine's hand and held her firmly in front of him.

"Don't move." Chen Luo said, placing his right hand on the core of the One-Eyed Treasure.

When Chen Luo withdrew his hand again, Lumine noticed that Chen Luo seemed to be holding a thread, the other end of which extended to the core of One-Eyed Treasure.

After Chen Luo moved the thread out, he wrapped it around Lumine's wrist twice and then tied a knot.

To Lumine's surprise, once the knot was marked, the originally black and red line disappeared instantly.

"What is this?" Lumine asked excitedly.

After Lumine pulled her wrist back, she could see a faint black mark on her wrist, which was barely noticeable unless you looked closely.

"This is the simple control device for One-Eyed Treasure, which I specially left for you. You should feel a subtle connection between yourself and Treasure now, right? Come on, try controlling it," Chen Luo said to Lumine.

"Oh." Lumine nodded, feeling the magical connection, and then tried to control the One-Eyed Treasure.

Two seconds later, One-Eyed Treasure moved slightly and then took a step forward.

"It moved! It moved!" Paimon said excitedly.

"Hmm, not bad, very quick to understand," Chen Luo nodded.

"Hehe." Lumine scratched her head shyly.

"Alright, Your Highness, this One-Eyed Treasure will serve as your mount for travel. You can use it whenever you're traveling or on a journey. Besides, this One-Eyed Treasure is quite powerful and can basically solve most problems that require force."

"Princess?"

"That's right. Since your brother is the Abyss Prince, then wouldn't you be the Abyss Princess? A princess shouldn't lack the prestige that comes with it." Chen Luo shrugged.

"But you gave me a One-Eyed Treasure, and I don't know how to reciprocate," Lumine said, somewhat conflicted.

"A return gift? There's no need for that. How about this: if you really want a return gift, if you encounter any requests that One-Eyed Treasure can handle while you're out, just hand the Commission Cards to the person who needs help, and then let One-Eyed Treasure do the work. That would be your return gift to me, how about that?" Chen Luo suddenly said.

"Oh? I see. That works too. No problem." Lumine nodded decisively after thinking for half a second.

"Alright, come down now. I'll help you modify One-Eyed Treasure, at least to protect its weakness," Chen Luo said.

"Then I'll trouble you." After saying that, Lumine controlled One-Eyed Treasure to send herself down.

"Sigh, another tool I've acquired. The commission agent was right; those who treat others as tools will eventually become tools themselves." Chen Luo thought to himself as he had One-Eyed Treasure escort him to her core and began his research.

Chen Luo doesn't need One-Eyed Treasure's protection. Giving One-Eyed Treasure to Lumine can greatly increase the success of the mission, and also reduce Chen Luo's burden.

In the future, when Lumine encounters a commission, she can simply hand over the Commission Cards like this, and then let One-Eyed Treasure complete the commission. Then Chen Luo can sit back and collect the Primogem.

Although Chen Luo said he gave One-Eyed Treasure to Lumine, the fact that Chen Luo is the true owner of One-Eyed Treasure will not change.

Why shouldn't the commission completed by Chen Luo's props be considered a commission completed by Chen Luo?

Nice!

Cooperation leads to a win-win situation; Chen Luo and Lumine have both made a fortune from this!

Chapter 205 Question: Who is the most unlucky person on the Teyvat Continent?

"Alright, this Ruin Guard is almost finished. First of all, for the most crucial part of the Ruin Guard, I've added three layers of reinforced outer shell, all made from the shells of Honkai Beasts. They're very durable and somewhat flexible."

"At the same time, we replaced his core device, changing it from the original chaotic core to a Honkai energy energy-driven one, which increases his output. And since he is a puppet, there is no need to worry about him being corrupted."

"Given that this Ruin Guard only has a few simple attack moves, although his three basic attacks are quite useful, they are too monotonous. So I equipped him with two greatswords, which I just made using alchemy. Of course, my alchemy skills are not very good yet, and I used what I had on hand, so it was a bit rushed. Therefore, the quality is not very good, and they are quite heavy. If you have extra Mora in the future, you can buy him two greatswords."

"Although I couldn't inscribe any martial arts moves on this puppet, with One-Eyed Treasure's size, he could probably cut down 90% of monsters with two greatswords. Of course, run away from the ones you can't cut down anyway, you probably can't beat them anyway."

"Oh, by the way. Do you have any special storage methods? This One-Eyed Treasure is a non-living thing and can be stored in some special storage items. If you don't have a storage method, I can upgrade it for you. After all, it's easy to get into trouble if you run around with such a big thing."

Chen Luo was still quite afraid that if Lumine entered the city with a One-Eyed Treasure who was twice her size, the city guards would mistake her for an enemy and attack her.

"Oh, don't worry about that, I have special skills for storing items," Lumine said.

"That's fine then."

Chen Luo had originally planned to have Cocolia develop some kind of quantum teleportation device or invisibility device.

This makes it quite convenient for Lumine to use, but since the other party has a storage method, Chen Luo doesn't need to worry about it.

That makes sense. Since Chen Luo's replica includes part of the Traveler's panel, it doesn't make sense that only Chen Luo has a backpack Lumine doesn't.

Lumine Unsheathed Sword, and Chen Luo also Unsheathed Sword. Can you say that's a coincidence?

However, on the other hand, the Unsheathed Sword is not exactly a rare item on the Teyvat Continent.

Of the 10 adventurers Chen Luo encountered while wandering around Mondstadt City, at least two were carrying Unsheathed Sword, since they were cheap.

What Chen Luo found somewhat puzzling was why Lumine had Paimon while Paimon didn't. It wasn't that Chen Luo needed Paimon; having any other item would be fine too.

No, wait a minute.

Chen Luo suddenly became alert.

How did Lumine get her Paimon? She found it while fishing.

It could be said that it was all down to luck.

If we're talking about finding something at the start of the game purely by luck, Chen Luo has found something before; he found the Herrscher of Knowledge.

Could it be that the Herrscher of Knowledge is actually one's own Paimon?

Ah, this...

"Chen Luo, what are you thinking about?" Lumine asked, puzzled, as she looked at Chen Luo's constantly changing expression.

"It's alright, but where's One-Eyed Treasure?" Lost in thought, Chen Luo looked up and found that One-Eyed Treasure was gone.

I was so focused on analyzing the similarities between the Herrscher of Knowledge and Paimon that I almost forgot to pay attention to how Lumine actually collected One-Eyed Treasure.

"I put it in my backpack."

"Backpack?"

"Yes."
