Grey Serpent: Please Inspect the Results, "Boss" (Referring to World Serpent)!

"..." Raven's face instantly turned cold.

"But I can help you change it, change the color."

"Hey, don't do anything reckless. This car cover is very expensive. What if you damage it?" Raven said hurriedly.

"What are you afraid of? I know alchemy. Do you understand alchemy? It's technology from Different World! I won't change the material of this car cover, I'll just change the color, and I won't damage the structure of the car cover itself, how about that?"

"Hmm, you seem a bit unreliable," Raven said after a moment's thought.

"What are you saying? Do I look like the kind of person who's unreliable? Besides, if I break it, I'll just buy you another one. I have so much gold at home anyway," Chen Luo said generously.

Well, okay, Chen Luo dares to say that mainly because Chen Luo is confident in his alchemy skills, even though Chen Luo doesn't specialize in alchemy much.

"Then... do we need work points?" Raven asked.

"Work points? I almost forgot. If you hadn't reminded me, I would have forgotten to ask for them." Chen Luo suddenly remembered this.

I even had a work point system set up for myself.

I almost forgot.

"..." Raven suddenly wanted to go back 10 seconds and covered his mouth.

Oh well, work points are meant to be used anyway.

Moreover, you can immediately redeem $100 after using it.

"Tell me, how many work points do I need to alter the car cover?" Raven said with a sigh.

Even so, Raven still felt he had lost out big time.

[Ding! You have a new request!]

"Just kidding. You use work points to exchange for wishes with me. This is just me helping out as a friend, so I don't need work points." Seeing how unwilling Raven was, Chen Luo waved his hand.

Work points are like a currency; they are essentially symbolic and have no intrinsic value.

If Chen Luo didn't want to give it to the other party, he could simply cancel it, and the other party wouldn't be able to refute it at all.

Therefore, one should be cautious when buying cryptocurrencies.

Of course, Chen Luo wouldn't renege on this. If Raven really needed Chen Luo to help her fulfill a wish or exchange US dollars, Chen Luo would definitely do so.

Be very careful when buying cryptocurrencies.

Real.

"That's good." Raven nodded, relieved.

After all, work points are real money.

Perhaps...

Having earned so many work points, shouldn't I spend some of them?

"Well, Chen Luo, it's your turn to drive this time," Raven suddenly said.

[Ding! You have a new request!]

"Huh?" Chen Luo was taken aback.

"I've figured it out. Why should I always be the one driving for you, whether in Changkong City or now? So now you drive for me, how many work points will you get? Tell me." Raven suddenly realized.

Today, I, Raven, am going to become the boss!

"...5 work points," Chen Luo said blankly.

Since this is a quest that costs 50 Primogem, it is worth 5 Job Points.

But then Chen Luo realized something.

One work point equals ten Primogem.

Wouldn't the Raven be unable to repay the hundred-plus work points it had even if it sold itself?

Raven is indeed a master at running a bar; he earned Chen Luo over a thousand Primogem in just two nights.

Although Chen Luo could probably earn about the same amount himself, Chen Luo mostly hired Raven simply to have some peace and quiet.

Also, yesterday I gave the other party 10 counterfeit Herrscher Core of Flame cores that Chen Luo personally made so that the other party could protect themselves.

Chen Luo actually planned to give the other person a small gift every time she got off work.

These 10 counterfeit Plague Gem, which can be used as concentrated Honkai Crystal grenades, are worth far more than Raven's wages.

This can be considered Chen Luo's compensation to Raven.

Chen Luo always felt that the reward he gave the other party was a little too little, but if he gave too much, he felt that the Raven would work for a few days and then run away.

Therefore, the only way to make up for the loss of the Raven is in another area.

The classic wage is not as high as the tip.

To be fair, Chen Luo felt that Raven's salary was already quite high.

Those 10 fake Plague Gem, any one of them could fetch hundreds of thousands of dollars.

The premise is that the Raven takes it seriously, instead of thinking it's just a small gift.

In fact, sometimes counterfeit items are more suitable for research than genuine items because counterfeit items have fewer side effects.

"So cheap? Can you massage my shoulders while driving and still guarantee safety?" Raven suddenly suggested.

It's just a hypothetical scenario, but Chen Luo is so amazing, what if he could actually do it?

[Ding! You have a new request!]

"Yes, yes, that's 10 work points in total," Chen Luo said, stunned.

Since the work point prices had already been set, Chen Luo was too lazy to change the exchange system.

One work point is enough to be worth 10 Primogem.

"Great, deal." Since the Raven was very happy, it decided to Raven generous this time.

Normally, one work point can be exchanged for $200, but if it's used to make a wish, spending one work point results in a loss of $100. Raven is certainly spending a fortune.

"..." Chen Luo remained silent for a moment in response to Raven's sudden idea.

Raven's request was not excessive; it was indeed a simple matter for Chen Luo, as he would receive Primogem and was not opposed to it.

Let alone giving her a massage, even if Chen Luo were to sacrifice his looks and sleep with her, Chen Luo wouldn't mind... cough cough, but that's something to be mindful of.

Chen Luo was somewhat uneasy about the other party's proactive approach in issuing the request.

I used to always have to go and collect commissions myself, but now the other party is so willing to give me Primogem, is that really okay?

Chapter 224 Grey Serpent: Please have the "leader" inspect the results (referring to the World Serpent)!

"Ah, that feels so good. Alo, you're really good at massages." Raven said, stretching as he got out of the back seat.

"That's..." Chen Luo, feeling both happy and depressed, floated out of the car.

The joy came from earning Primogem while Threads Control, but the frustration stemmed from Chen Luo's feeling of being taken advantage of.

But thinking about it, the Raven's work points were indeed earned through Raven own abilities and labor.

If we don't give the Raven the exchange, wouldn't that be going back on our word?

Besides, it's really hard work for Raven to work 4 hours a night.

"Sigh, we've already arrived at the World Serpent headquarters, so why isn't anyone here to meet us? I thought at least there would be Grey Serpent," Chen Luo said, turning to Raven with some frustration as he stood at the World Serpent's gate.

Chen Luo had originally planned to meet Grey Serpent immediately, complete Raven's mission, and then make a quick getaway.

Anyway, the mission only required meeting Grey Serpent once, and it didn't say how long the meeting would last.

"I don't know. According to Grey Serpent's personality, he should have greeted us at the door, but then he said something like, 'If the conditions for meeting him are met, that person might run away immediately, right?' and then they agreed to meet inside World Serpent."

"Honestly, who in the world would travel this far just to meet someone, only to slip away without even saying a word? Don't you think so?" Raven complained to Chen Luo.

"Hmm, ah, that's true. How could anyone just want to meet once and leave immediately?" Chen Luo hesitated for a moment before nodding.

Well, since Chen Luo n't manage to escape, he's definitely not the kind of person Raven described.

How could there possibly be someone in the world who would just run away without saying a word just to see the other person once?

Ugh, that damned Grey Serpent.

How come you understand my tricks so clearly?

But thinking about it carefully, it makes sense. The Grey Serpent is a human who has lived for more than 50,000 years, and as an artificial life form, it has outstanding abilities in all aspects. As long as it summarizes its own behavior, it can easily figure out Chen Luo's patterns.

It was even easier, especially since Chen Luo hadn't hidden anything from many people.

If the other party can perceive that he has a strong sense of purpose in everything he does, then Chen Luo's walking route can be regulated according to that goal.

Although it sounds like a conspiracy theory, Chen Luo is not afraid.

Since I appeared in the past, it proves that I was safe and sound before going to the Previous Civilization Era.

As long as he was safe and sound before the Previous Civilization Era, it meant that the Grey Serpent definitely hadn't done anything to him. If it had done something to Chen Luo, and Chen Luo still appeared in the Previous Era, then the Grey Serpent wouldn't exist in the world.

It's impossible for Grey Serpent to be born without a childhood, like Herrscher of Knowledge, right?

At the very least, people would say it's impossible for someone to be able to easily defeat Chen Luo from birth, right?

Otherwise, how could the Previous Civilization Era have been so thoroughly defeated by the Herrscher of the End?

If Grey Serpent had a childhood, Chen Luo would dare to give him a complete childhood, and make him unable to escape that childhood.

However, although the ideal was very rich, the reality was still very harsh. Chen Luo had many complaints in his heart, but he still needed to follow the Raven into the interior of the World Serpent.

After all, you still need to make a profit from Primogem.

Besides, Chen Luo was quite confident in his ability to escape.

As I said before, with the Teleport Anchor, Chen Luo dared to go to most places.

At least that's the case in the Honkai World.

Of course, precautions should still be taken.

Chen Luo valued his life and possessions quite a bit. Although the Primogem in Raven's mission was indeed very important, it was still more important than his own life.

Besides, Chen Luo's bar is becoming increasingly popular.

It's just 200 Primogem; Chen Luo can earn that much three times in one night.

If there were a few more Venti's, Chen Luo could do it all in 10 minutes.

No, strictly speaking, Chen Luo could earn 200 Primogem a day from Venti.

Because Venti's craving for Wind God's Liquor is quite strong, at least recently.

As long as the other party's desire remains strong, Chen Luo can still earn enough Primogem. A 10-pull of Wind God's Liquor costs 100 Primogem, and if he can do it twice a day, that's 200 Primogem.

However, once Venti has gradually satisfied his desires, you'll need to serve Venti even better quality wines, otherwise the Primogem he receives might decrease.

After all, even if you really like something, you'll get tired of it after eating it for a while.

Venti is unlikely to be tired of the Wind God's Liquor, but it's possible that her craving isn't as strong as before.

Well, if that's the case, how about we try some scarcity marketing?

For example, could we restore the previous dosage of only one cup per day?

Hmm, it feels like this is really cruel to Venti. Who knows how long he'll be rolling around on the floor after hearing this news? Let's just forget about it.

As Chen Luo advanced into the World Serpent, he also diverted a portion of his consciousness to focus his attention on the Herrscher of Knowledge.

Although the Herrscher of Knowledge is currently residing within its own sea of consciousness, it can still be considered an adversary, and therefore can be used to launch War Domain.

Therefore, Chen Luo would immediately flee as soon as he sensed anything amiss.

As a spatial concept attribute skill, the War Domain doesn't need to be targeted, at least in the Honkai World; they can't even understand what the War Domain is.
