A Meeting in Another World, Enjoy...
"These aren't the main points. The main point is that this is practically the last remaining landscape of the Dragon Dvalin. Oh, except for those giant skeletons. Anyway, things like these demonic powers all have that regenerative property, right? You know, the kind that will regenerate sooner or later if you don't completely eradicate it. So let's take advantage of that property and squeeze as much profit as possible," Chen Luo said.
In short, Chen Luo went to such extremes that he wouldn't even spare the hairs of a dead dragon.
"If that's the case, do you want those huge skeletons outside? Maybe you can even get some life essence from them," the Herrscher of Knowledge said, pointing to the outside of the cave.
In some parts of Dragonspine, there are huge, decaying skeletons, which are the remains of the Dragon Dvalin. Over the years, the decaying remains have had a corrosive effect on the surrounding environment.
In some ways, that could be considered part of the Dragon Dvalin, and it was probably edible.
Hmm, probably...
At least that's what those Herrscher of Knowledge think.
"Forget it. Although the Dragon Dvalin was very strong, he's been dead for so many years. Almost everything in his skeleton has been gone. Even if there's a little bit left, it's not worth the trouble to get it." Chen Luo waved his hand dismissively.
Chen Luo suspected that even if all the essence from the corpses of the Dragon Dvalin were extracted, it would not be as strong as 1% of the power in this heart.
Therefore, Chen Luo chose to give up directly.
We've given up, we've given up.
"But speaking of which, I remember Inazuma has a really big snake. We could try this method with that snake," Chen Luo said.
"Didn't you say you didn't care about this little bit of essence?" the Herrscher of Knowledge asked curiously.
"You don't understand, do you? I take those pitifully small amounts of essence not for any great improvement, but to give my Infinite Serpent some of the other's characteristics."
"For example, my Infinite Serpent bit into the wing of the Stormterror and gained a pair of invisible wings. After eating a bite of the Stormterror's flesh, it gained a certain ability to control the Wind Element. That's the kind of attribute I actually want."
"When my Infinite Serpent absorbs the life essence of dragon-type creatures, the effect is relatively weak; it's strongest when absorbing serpent-type creatures. So, it might yield quite a few benefits," Chen Luo said.
"Good heavens, this is what you call the Infinite Serpent, isn't it? What is Mobius compared to this Infinite Serpent? It has to coil up in front of you." The Herrscher of Knowledge exclaimed, "Good heavens!"
Chen Luo had not told anyone about these abilities, and the Herrscher of Knowledge had not paid much attention to them, so this characteristic was something the Herrscher of Knowledge had just learned about.
Chen Luo would keep it a secret from everyone else, but not from those Herrscher of Knowledge.
The Herrscher of Knowledge isn't unaware; she's just too lazy to look.
"That's why it's called the Infinite Serpent. I wonder how far this thing will evolve in the future. Maybe with it, my talent might even become SS-rank Talent," Chen Luo said, looking at his talent panel.
Chen Luo obtained a talent from Mobius called [Infinity], and after purchasing this Man-made Collapse state, the Infinite Serpent was assigned to Infinity's subordinate list.
"Perhaps this special attribute of potential for growth is what people in this world call a breakthrough ability? All those who can break through from S-rank Talent to SS-rank talent are extremely outrageous. For example, Yvette's War Angel," Chen Luo said.
"Really? I wonder if I have any chance of breaking through to the next level, although I probably don't belong to the Talent User." The Herrscher of Knowledge muttered to herself.
"Who said you're not Talent User? Actually, according to the definition on the talent panel, you're not only Talent User, but you might even be Talent User can break through to a higher level. The evidence is that your Herrscher Authority are becoming more and more expensive," Chen Luo retorted.
"Just because it's getting more and more expensive, you're saying I might be able to break through to a higher level?"
"Ah, that's true. In fact, all talents priced over 10,000 Primogem have the potential to break through to a higher level, provided the other party is from this world," Chen Luo said lazily.
"Originally, this couldn't be done with just the Herrscher Authority, since it's something granted by Honkai, not Herrscher created themselves. So even though controlling the laws of physics sounds absurd, it's still S-rank Talent. But who told you to fuse with the inner demon? The moment you fused with the inner demon, your talent became more valuable," Chen Luo said.
The price increase of the talent of the Herrscher of Knowledge really caught Chen Luo off guard.
In just a few minutes, the price skyrocketed by 1/5, an increase of 2000 Primogem. That's faster than housing prices rising!
Why don't you just rob it?
Well, as long as Chen Luo is given more time to develop, it won't be up to Mobius to decide who the true Infinite Serpent is then.
"Speaking of snakes, Alo, have you forgotten something? Rat snakes are still snakes... I'm talking about Little Evil God. As a high-ranking Little Evil God should be of a very high level, right? And Little Evil God has very low morals; he'll do anything for a little something. Hmm, sell snake meat."
"It's high quality and has a lot of meat, go eat it!" The Herrscher of Knowledge suddenly thought of something.
"Do you think I haven't thought of what you've thought of? I have thought of it too, okay? But do you know why we haven't implemented it? First, because the Little Evil God really hasn't come these past two days, and second, because..." Chen Luo said, taking out a small piece of meat.
"It's because outside the Demon Realm, the meat of the Rat Snake is just ordinary snake meat, and the Infinite Serpent doesn't even have the desire to eat it." Chen Luo teased the Infinite Serpent with the meat in his hand, and after seeing that it didn't react, he put it back into his backpack.
"So I'm thinking that when the Flower Snake comes, I'll ask her for more meat, and then if I have the chance, I'll go to the Demon Realm. In the Demon Realm, this meat should transform into the meat of a high-level evil god, and eating it should provide a significant boost." Chen Luo said, recalling the evaluation of the Flower Snake's meat on the talent panel.
The meat of the Rat Snake is considered high-grade only in the Demon Realm.
If it's eaten then, it will definitely be a great tonic for Infinite Serpent.
"Alright, let's go, it's time for us to eat. It's almost 7 o'clock already. Although there's an hour's time difference between the Genshin Impact World and our world, if we leave any later, Liu Wenxuan might eat early and have eaten at 6 o'clock." Chen Luo said as he summoned the Bar Door.
"Oh, okay. By the way, do you think it's possible for your Infinite Serpent to grow as long as Jörmungandr in the future?" Herrscher of Knowledge asked as she followed Chen Luo inside.
Jörmungandr is a giant sea serpent in Norse mythology that encircles the human world; it is also known as the "World Serpent" and the "Serpent that encircles Midgard."
It's the kind of terrifying creature that can knock down Celestia with a single tail whip.
"Well, who knows? But if it could really grow that long, I might be able to lift the entire Teyvat Continent by myself, right?" Chen Luo shrugged and said.
After all, the larger the Infinite Serpent is, the stronger Chen Luo's physical strength will be.
At that time, Chen Luo will directly beat Azhdaha with one hand.
Wait, why did Chen Luo hit him?
While chatting, Chen Luo and the Herrscher of Knowledge returned home through the Bar Door.
Then Chen Luo looked utterly hopeless.
Then another thought popped into Chen Luo's head: his alchemy skills hadn't been wasted, and he'd soon be able to put them to use.
"What happened?" Unlike Chen Luo, Herrscher of Knowledge was somewhat stunned as he looked at the mess in his home.
The sofa Herrscher of Knowledge often sat had a hole cut out, the bottom of which was nowhere to be seen.
"Eek?" As if hearing a noise, a fox's head suddenly popped out from the hole.
"Little fox, what are you doing? Where is Cang Xiao Xuan? Doesn't he know how to control the little fox?" The Herrscher of Knowledge was dumbfounded when they saw this scene.
"You'll get used to it, you'll get used to it. Besides, what do you think the Book of Cang Xuan can do? Of course, it's just for eating, being lazy, waiting to die, and sleeping. Of course, it might also be for me to do online classes." Chen Luo glanced upstairs.
The Book of Cang Xuan was not found in the living room at least.
In fact, with Chen Luo's ability Herrscher of Corrosion, it would be incredibly easy for him to automatically complete online classes, but Chen Luo just wanted to give the Book of Cang Xuan something to do.
However, in retrospect, this was not a very good decision.
After all, an unattended fox can be quite destructive.
Chen Luo was now unsure whether to praise the Book of Cang Xuan for its feat of biting the little fox's paws for an entire morning and afternoon.
At least biting the fox cub's paws can effectively prevent the fox from destroying the house.
Hmm, I'll bring Cang Xiao Xuan some chicken legs later.
"How come you're so calm?" The Herrscher of Knowledge looked at Chen Luo with surprise.
"Well, it's not the first time I've experienced this. I think I've told you before, I used to have a fox. That fox was just like Hachiko, with energy comparable to a husky. Destroying the house was just something it did on a whim." Chen Luo said as he walked to the sofa.
The little fox that peeked out of the hole wasn't afraid at all as Chen Luo approached; on the contrary... on the contrary... it seemed rather smug.
Look, look, this is the empire I have conquered for you!
That's roughly the kind of expression I'm looking for.
"Sigh..." Chen Luo helplessly patted the little fox's head.
"Waaah!" The little fox didn't flinch, as if she already knew Chen Luo would praise her.
Then Chen Luo gave the other person a super flick on the head.
"Gurgle..." The little fox, knocked unconscious by the powerful blow, fell into the sofa again.
"Okay, let's take a picture first." Chen Luo said, pulling out the little fox's head and posing for a photo.
These are all pieces of evidence against him.
"What should we do now?" asked the Herrscher of Knowledge, pointing to the scene that resembled a crime scene.
"What else can I do? Luckily, my alchemy skills are already at the proficient level, and I've even learned about the composition of matter. Otherwise, I'd have a hard time even fixing a sofa." Chen Luo sighed helplessly.
Chapter 209 An Encounter in Another World, Enjoying It All...
"Wenxuan, are you free now? Have you eaten?" Chen Luo asked, holding up his phone.
"Huh? Brother Luo, wait a minute, let me crush its head first." The person on the other end of the phone seemed very surprised after hearing Chen Luo's words.
Then Chen Luo heard a moderate explosion.
"..." Chen Luo wasn't sure what the other party was doing, but it certainly wasn't something peaceful or friendly; it was most likely inappropriate for children.
After all, when Liu Wenxuan said he would crush the other person's dog head, he might actually have really crushed it.
The monsters in the Dark World are diverse, and there's actually a possibility that there's a dog-headed monster among them.
After a while, the slightly noisy sounds on the phone disappeared completely.
"Sorry, Brother Luo, I was just taking down a monster formed from the resentment of dogs. It was quite troublesome, mainly because it was more of a spirit, which I'm not suited to deal with. I should have let Yun Xia handle this in the first place," the person on the other end of the phone complained.
"That sounds interesting..." Chen Luo said, stroking his chin.
Speaking of Chen Luo, apart from that inner demon, he hasn't seen any monsters in this world. The only ones he's seen are a small number of Talent User and church members.
"It's so boring. At first, this dog was a pretty cute golden retriever, wagging its tail and coming right up to me. But as it got closer, it suddenly turned into a monster about two people tall with a gaping maw. It was really scary, wasn't it?"
"Ah, you always seem to be working very hard."
"It's not exactly tough. Compared to the troublesome opponents in the abyss, this vengeful spirit is much easier to deal with. A B-rank offensive Talent User should be manageable with a little caution. It's just that this vengeful spirit is relatively close to my home, which is why they notified me."
"Alright, let's not talk about that anymore. Brother Luo, you just said you were going to treat me to dinner, right?"
"Nonsense, I only asked if you had eaten, I didn't say I was treating." Chen Luo rolled his eyes.
How can this guy be so shameless as to think he's the one treating?
"Hmm, am I treating? That's fine too. I still owe you a few meals, Brother Luo. Where do you want to go?" On the other end of the phone, Liu Wenxuan didn't seem to care.
"Never mind, I'll treat you."
"No way, I heard from Yun Xia that you seem to be struggling financially, or at least your living expenses are quite low. Let me treat you. I gave you a lot of cash as a reward after I crushed this dog's head."
"That damn Yun Xia even told you about this? Well, you should treat me then." Hearing that the other party already knew about his financial situation, Chen Luo decided to just give up.
After all, although Chen Luo was very rich in other worlds, he was indeed a penniless man in this world.
Although Chen Luo a lot of gold, he couldn't very well use it to pay his bills.
Although Chen Luo possesses the Herrscher of Corrosion Authority, Chen Luo does not want it to be discovered by anyone in this world.
However, Chen Luo remembered that his parents had given him money when he said he wanted to travel, but he hadn't used it yet.
"So, where is Brother Luo going to eat?"
"That KFC we used to go to, remember?"
"I do remember, but is going to KFC really appropriate? Oh well, whatever makes you happy. See you at KFC in 20 minutes."
After hanging up the phone, Chen Luo stared at his phone in silence.
Chen Luo knew that going to KFC wasn't really appropriate, since it was a treat after so long, but Shi Herrscher of Knowledge wanted to go anyway, and besides, his relationship with Liu Wenxuan wasn't exactly that of an outsider.
So go ahead and go.
"Xiao Xuan, we're going out to eat. Is there anything you'd like to eat or want? I can bring it back for you," Chen Luo asked.
After Chen Luo's 10-minute emergency repairs, the previously appalling living room and the dilapidated sofa were basically restored to normal.
This made Chen Luo sigh, realizing that alchemy was indeed very useful.
Of course, alchemy is useful, but there are still some traces that cannot be undone.
"Anything is fine?" Book of Cang Xuan asked, biting his finger.
"Of course, why would I lie to you?" Chen Luo nodded.
"Well... I want an encounter in another world, to enjoy the delicious medals, and that bucket too. Aren't you guys going to KFC? KFC recently collaborated with Genshin Impact again. So please! You promised to get this, no backing out." The Book of Cang Xuan said smugly.
"... I have reason to suspect that you don't want the bucket, you want me to die," Chen Luo replied coldly.
"But whatever you say goes. You can't go back on your word."
"Tsk, it's just a medal and a bucket, right? Just wait at home." Chen Luo sneered.
