Honkai Consciousness: Kid, I've Missed You So Much! (Continued)
"I'm in despair over this empty, cold, and heartless world."
"Stop talking nonsense, I'll give you two choices now." The Herrscher of Knowledge sat directly on Chen Luo's lap, while grabbing Chen Luo's neck and saying this.
"Please speak," Chen Luo said, lying listlessly on the sofa.
"Our first option is to come with me to the old lady's dorm now. If I'm not mistaken, today is still a weekday, and there was probably a welcome party yesterday. To ensure everyone can go to class, she needs to go early. If we go now to steal her things, it will be absolutely foolproof," the Herrscher of Knowledge said confidently.
"No wonder Mei others didn't come to the bar yesterday. They went to a welcome party!" Chen Luo suddenly realized.
Last night, Chen Luo sat at the bar counter waiting for Raiden Mei and the others for a full four hours, but they never came, making Chen Luo wait until the flowers withered.
The good news is that Durandal has arrived and gifted Chen Luo 1201 Primogem, plus a random reward and a random high-level reward, along with increased favorability.
Durandal's affection increases by 30, and Rita's affection increases by 20. Does this mean buying Durandal comes with a free Rita?
It was a huge profit.
In addition, Yakumo Yukari somehow slipped something into the clothes of other guests, but it eventually ended up in Chen Luo's hands.
Chen Luo saw that it looked like a piece of meat, so he cut it in half and fed it to his Infinite Serpent.
Anyway, Infinite Serpent has a great appetite and can eat anything.
Then Infinite Serpent gained the ability to turn into a shadow, and its strength was also increased slightly.
Not much, but there has been a real improvement.
Hmm... Yakumo Yukari, what did you make this time?
However... it's not unacceptable to give Infinite Serpent a few more strange abilities, especially since this is Yakumo Yukari obtained for free.
Chen Luo was genuinely curious about what other strange and wonderful things Yakumo Yukari could come up with.
"Ah, speaking of birthdays, Mei's birthday is coming up soon. It's April 13th." The Herrscher of Knowledge was riding on Chen Luo's lap, paused for a moment.
"You still remember this?"
"Ha, what do you mean I can still remember? I'm the Class President." The Herrscher of Knowledge pinched Chen Luo's neck again.
"Okay, okay, it's my fault. Come to think of it, we could give Raiden Ryoma as a birthday present for Mei Raiden Mei."
Although it sounds a bit strange to give someone else's father as a birthday present, Raiden Mei should be quite happy.
"But I have to go to World Serpent with Raven later. We agreed to go this morning." Chen Luo changed the subject, saying with some difficulty.
"After I go to World Serpent, can I go steal Fu Hua's clothes right away? At worst, besides stealing her clothes, I'll also grant you another wish: steal her furniture too." Chen Luo tried to discuss with the Herrscher of Knowledge.
"No, you have to go in the morning." The Herrscher of Knowledge refused decisively.
"Unless..."
"Unless what?" Chen Luo asked subconsciously.
"Unless you meet my second option."
"What choice? You tell me."
"Take me to the Elysian Realm! I want to go to the Elysian Realm! I want to see Hua! I want to beat up Mobius!" The Herrscher of Knowledge grabbed Chen Luo by the neck and shook him wildly.
It sounds like she's being coquettish, but it's more like murder.
"I already told you, I can't let you go to the Elysian Realm. Who knows what you'll do?" Chen Luo refused.
"I don't care! If you don't agree, I'll hold you tight and you won't be going anywhere." The Herrscher of Knowledge decided to resort to shameless tactics.
"..." Have you forgotten that I have Teleport Anchor?
Never mind.
[Ding! You have a new request!]
[Elysian Realm]: The Herrscher of Knowledge desires to go to the Elysian Realm, so grant her wish.
Reward: 200 Primogem + random reward
Difficulty: Two stars
"Alright."
Who can blame them for having Primogem?
"Alright, I'll go in first." The Herrscher of Knowledge was delighted and buried her face in Chen Luo's chest.
"Sigh, wait, I didn't let you into my sea of consciousness... never mind." Looking at the Herrscher of Knowledge who had already disappeared, Chen Luo had a headache.
"I want to go to the Elysian Realm too, I want to see my old blockhead again," Book of Cang Xuan said pitifully from the side.
"Go finish your online classes. After you've done them, I'll take you to see Fu Hua. Don't forget to write your review," Chen Luo said lazily.
"It's a deal, no take-backs allowed." Book of Cang Xuan said immediately after hearing Chen Luo finally agree to Fu Hua's matter.
Chen Luo had never mentioned before when Rao would bring the Book of Cang Xuan to find Fu Hua.
Although the Herrscher of Knowledge is also a Fu Hua, and even more fun than the original Fu Hua, the Book of Cang Xuan still wants the original antique.
"Why would I lie to you? Xiaoshi is almost done playing. After she plays for a while longer, she'll probably stop wanting to play. By then, you'll have almost finished your online classes too," Chen Luo said, calculating the time.
Online classes are really...
The existence of software that can automatically complete online classes is simply a godsend.
Watching the Book of Cang Xuan, which had been sitting on a ball, fly towards the second floor, Chen Luo opened the door of the bar.
Meanwhile, inside the bar, Raven, who was drinking a glass of wine, was already waiting there.
"Emmm, Xiola, you..."
Did you pay?
Chen Luo originally wanted to say that, but after thinking about it, he remembered that the other person was a bartender, so he swallowed his words.
"Hmm?" The Raven turned its head when it heard the noise.
"...Sorry to keep you waiting, let's go," Chen Luo said.
"It wasn't a long wait. It's not even the agreed time yet. I'm just too early. By the way, aren't you going to do anything about this drunken poet?" Raven asked, pointing to Venti, who was now quite a sight to behold, standing next to him.
The unique feature of Zero Bar is the image of a drunken bard.
"Don't worry about him, he's not going to die anyway. He'll go home when he wakes up, provided he has a home," Chen Luo said, waving his hand.
Although Venti seems like someone who's always slacking off, the amazing thing is that whenever Venti slacks off, nothing major happens in Mondstadt.
Whenever Venti gets serious, it means something's wrong in Mondstadt.
Venti spends 99% of his time slacking off, but he manages to use the remaining 1% of his time to appear at the most important moments in Mondstadt.
The goddess of liberty is terrifying.
"Alright then." Raven nodded, placed the drink on the bar, and walked towards the Bar Door.
This time, it wasn't Chen Luo who opened the door, but Raven. If Raven had opened the door, it would have taken Raven back to where they came from.
That is, near the headquarters of the World Serpent.
If Chen Luo opens the door, he will return to his own home.
If Chen Luo is willing to spend at least 10 Primogem each time, he can open it. Other guests can open the bar door at the last location.
But it requires Primogem.
And it requires at least 10 Primogem.
Hmm, it's so expensive, why don't you just rob someone?
"But are you really planning to go barefoot?" Raven couldn't help but look at Chen Luo's feet.
Chen Luo wasn't actually not wearing that Conceptual Weapon; in fact, unless Chen Luo decided he didn't want it anymore, that Conceptual Weapon was permanently effective.
This Conceptual Weapon, due to its special nature, only a portion of people can see it, while others cannot. Therefore, those with special powers can ignore it.
This includes, but is not limited to, spiritual power, magical power, elemental power, Honkai energy, and so on.
So although Chen Luo was wearing the Emperor's New Shoes, since everyone Chen Luo knew possessed certain powers, it was as if Chen Luo wasn't wearing shoes at all; he was wearing them, but not completely.
However, Chen Luo is trying to modify this concept costume.
Concepts are not immutable, especially not this kind of concept-based Mystic Code.
Chen Luo is trying to influence the shoes using some of his conceptual abilities.
It is now proving very effective.
But it hasn't been completely effective yet.
At least those with the strength of Raven can be seen.
Don't panic, there's still plenty of time.
"I'm already dressed, you just can't see it. Don't worry about the details, let's go." Chen Luo urged Raven.
"Alright. Whatever makes you happy." Raven nodded, pushed open the door, and led the way out of the bar.
Outside the bar, there was a grove of trees, fulfilling Chen Luo's request for some seclusion.
Raven drove to a grove of trees near the World Serpent base. There were no surveillance cameras or surveillance cameras here. Even if satellites in the sky tried to spot this place, they would be completely hidden by the tree canopy.
The Raven's vehicle was parked nearby; it was the Raven's means of transportation.
Raven did this mainly because of Chen Luo's request.
Chen Luo did this mainly because he was uncertain about himself... no, whether his future self had told others about the bar, including Grey Serpent.
Although Chen Luo later realized that whether or not he revealed the fact that he knew nothing now, it didn't seem to affect the past.
After all, the troubles we cause in the future won't affect the history of the past.
However, Chen Luo retained this cautious habit.
"Once we're out of the bar, I can't keep calling you boss. I'll call you A Luo... Wow, how are you flying?" Raven had just turned around to discuss the way to address him when she saw Chen Luo floating in the air with a relaxed expression.
Raven instantly understood why Chen Luo wasn't wearing shoes; it made him look really impressive.
So here's the question: Does going barefoot increase combat power?
The Raven instinctively lowered its head, then realized... it couldn't see its own toes at all.
emmm...
[Ding! Honkai faction item exchange discount is 90%]
Chen Luo had only been out of the bar for a few seconds when he felt a familiar gaze upon him, and then he heard this notification sound.
"???" Chen Luo looked puzzled.
Chen Luo wondered how the discount had suddenly changed from 9.1% to 9% before he even had a chance to say anything good about the Honkai Consciousness.
What the heck? What are the possible scenarios?
However, on the other hand, once I reach 90%, does that mean I can fuse a Herrscher Core?
Which Herrscher Core should I fuse with? The Herrscher Core of Flame core that I already possess, or the Herrscher of Wind core and the Herrscher Core Death core that I hold in other branches of Schicksal?
After thinking for a while, Chen Luo chose to give up thinking.
Am I being a little too capable?
So Chen Luo decided to think about it later, since the gem wouldn't run away anyway.
However, Chen Luo was completely baffled by the sudden increase in favorability from the Honkai Consciousness.
Could it be that after I left, the Honkai Consciousness suddenly realized that there were truly no other capable people besides myself?
Chen Luo nodded as if he understood, and then... severed the connection with the Honkai Consciousness.
I need to go to the World Serpent later, so I can't let myself be spied on.
"Xiola, your car is nice, but it doesn't quite suit your style. Shouldn't a mercenary like you use a sports car or something?" Chen Luo said, looking around the car.
"You have excellent taste. I bought this Koenigsegg mainly because it has many seats and a lot of space, so I can take the kids for a drive. And the paint color... I wanted a red one, but they didn't have any, so I had to choose this rock gray one." Raven said as he drove.
"You're quite lucky to have run into me."
"What do you mean? You're going to buy me a red Koenigsegg?" Raven glanced at Chen Luo as he drove.
"If it were someone else, they might have bought it for you."
