Chen Luo: So You're the Thirteenth Herrscher, You Motherf-?

Therefore, Chen Luo did not accept the Jackal's mission, and there is no possibility of it in the future.

"Sigh, is that all you're going to do?" The Jackal was taken aback by Chen Luo's decisive rejection.

"Yes, your request is obviously unreasonable," Chen Luo said matter-of-factly.

"That shouldn't be the case. Logically speaking, you should at least hesitate. In my opinion, even if someone gave you a mission that couldn't be forced to be completed, you should still hesitate. After all, according to the intelligence that Raven sent back, you didn't seem to have refused anyone, at least not in most of Raven's requests." Jackal stroked his chin, a hint of confusion in his eyes.

"Do you think I'm some kind of magic lamp? Just because you summon me doesn't mean I have to grant you a few wishes. What kind of convenient walking wish-granting device is that?" Chen Luo said disdainfully.

Of course, Chen Luo also glanced at Raven again.

After all, the phrase "according to the intelligence brought back by the Raven" mentioned by the Jackal is not something that can be ignored.

When Chen Luo turned to look at the Raven, the Raven was also looking at Chen Luo.

"..."

The Raven seemed to say nothing, yet it also seemed to say everything.

"Stop deducting, stop deducting, if you keep deducting, the child will really cry."

The Raven now seemed to be saying, "If you dare deduct my work points, I'll cry in your face." Of course, at the same time, the Raven also glanced at the Jackal, and seemed to have an urge to kill her to silence her.

They didn't give me any bonus, and now they've even deducted fifteen work points from my pay.

Jackal, you are the most wicked of all.

Chen Luo didn't say anything, but simply raised one finger.

"10 work points?" Raven's eyes widened instantly.

That's way too expensive! Why don't you just rob someone?

A flick on the forehead.

Although Chen Luo couldn't Mind Reading, he could tell from the Raven's expression that the other party had misunderstood, so he had no choice but to speak up.

"???" Is there such a way to punish someone?

What kind of weird play is this?

"What? A flick on the head?" Jackal was stunned for a moment after hearing these five words.

"Ahem, it's nothing. Alright, I'm taking Chen Luo to see Grey Serpent now, do you want to come?" Raven didn't plan to stay here any longer.

Raven didn't even dare to think about how many more work points he would lose if he let the Jackal continue talking after he had already taken the bait and said everything.

Of course, while asking, the Raven was also praying that the Jackal wouldn't go.

"No, I'm not interested. But if you're so inclined, could you ask Grey Serpent if we could have an experiment with him? Consider those bottles of medicine you have as payment." Jackal said, pointing to the medicine in Raven's hand.

"What the heck? This thing costs money?"

"It was free just now, but now, if you don't remember to mention it, then it will cost money," Jackal said.

"Well... alright then, I'll ask for you."

Why even ask? If you're asking for an answer, it's simply no, no means no.

"Let's go, let's go." After agreeing with the Jackal, Raven grabbed Chen Luo's wrist and led him outside.

Chen Luo floated straight up in the air, and was pulled away by the Raven like a kite.

Chen Luo could certainly fly freely, and his strength during flight was definitely greater than that of the Raven. However, Chen Luo felt that being flown like a kite was actually quite fun.

Uh, as for sky lanterns... let's forget about them.

"Alright, I've shown you around the whole World Serpent. Next, I'll take you to see the Grey Serpent. What are your thoughts now?" Raven said, holding Chen Luo's hand.

Raven wasn't necessarily thinking of holding Chen Luo's hand, but if you don't hold Chen Luo's hand, Chen Luo will just float there and won't move.

It looks like a hydrogen balloon.

[Ding! Mission complete]

"My impression is that World Serpent is the most luxurious, most complete, and most powerful Honkai organization I have ever seen among the three major organizations resisting Honkai: Schicksal, Anti-Entropy, and World Serpent." Chen Luo gave World Serpent the highest praise.

"Really?" Raven was taken aback.

Raven was surprised that Chen Luo would praise the World Serpent so highly.

"But when did you go to Schicksal and Anti-Entropy?"

"I've never been to Schicksal or Anti-Entropy, I've only been to World Serpent, which is why I said World Serpent is the strongest organization I've ever seen," Chen Luo said.

"... So you don't think the World Serpent is stronger than Schicksal and Anti-Entropy because you've only ever seen the World Serpent, is that right?" Raven was speechless.

"Pretty much, I'm a very honest person." Chen Luo, floating in the air like a kite, nodded.

Chen Luo could choose any flying posture, which Chen Luo found very interesting.

Especially when there were no other outsiders around except for the Raven, Chen Luo let himself go.

It's taking off!

Yes, as for surveillance.

Herrscher of Corrosion Authority.

How honest?

"That depends on how honest you want me to be. I'll be as honest as you want me to be," Chen Luo said.

"... A very flexible bottom line for honesty," Raven couldn't help but remark.

"How much is one work point worth, honestly?" Raven asked after taking a sip of the stew.

"Raven, do you know how beautiful you are? Seriously, it's such a waste for a girl as pretty as you to be a mercenary. What's the point of being a mercenary? That kind of work makes money so slowly. Come and learn from me how to be an idol. I guarantee you'll become the number one idol in the Honkai World, punching Theresa and kicking Tesla! Let's make a fortune together." Chen Luo suddenly said with some enthusiasm.

"You really are... well, is one work point worth so many nice words? It feels a bit like a rip-off." Raven held Chen Luo's hand with one hand and rubbed her temples with the other.

"Ah no, you might have misunderstood. I was just showing you how I, your honest self, intended to describe you. What I really wanted to do next was to show you some nice things." Chen Luo paused for a moment, then shook his head.

"Huh?" The Raven, which had been walking ahead without turning its head, suddenly stopped.

"Bang!" Then, Chen Luo, who was being pulled along like a balloon, bumped his face into the back of Raven's head.

"Ugh! What are you trying to do by suddenly stopping like that?" Chen Luo said, covering his nose.

"Oh, it's nothing. Never mind, don't try to show off your flexible honesty. Save your work points for where they're really needed," Raven said, shaking his head.

Chen Luo's words just now were enough to push Raven's shame limit.

Making a mercenary the world's number one idol? I can't believe you even thought of that.

"Emmm..."

Chen Luo, who was flying behind the Raven, could clearly feel the Raven's heartbeat quickening.

"Are you shy, Raven?" Chen Luo asked with some suspicion.

"... What nonsense are you talking about?" Raven paused for a moment, then turned and glared at Chen Luo.

"Hmm, it's good that you're not shy. So how about you consider my suggestion? I really think you have the potential to become... no, you definitely will become the number one idol in the Honkai World. It's a historical inevitability." Chen Luo said quite seriously.

"Ah, yes, yes, yes," the Raven replied listlessly.

"Don't you believe me, Nata..."

"Don't call me that."

"Hmm? Are you really shy this time?"

"Shy my foot."

"Well..."

Chen Luo was not lying, because in a certain Honkai Impact 3rd idol vote, Raven really did become the number one idol in Honkai Impact 3rd.

They snatched the crown from the cabbage head.

Then, because Raven didn't go to accept the award, the second idol competition was started.

Although this is just an event storyline, the vote was cast by the players, which shows just how popular Raven is.

"Raven, become an idol and save the world!"

"Get out!"

"The Grey Serpent is inside," Raven said, pointing to a conference room, before pushing the door open.

"Wait a minute," Chen Luo, who was floating in the air, suddenly said.

"What?"

"Alright, let's continue." Chen Luo said, changing from floating casually in the air to a position with his feet slightly off the ground, about two or three centimeters away.

Since I'm meeting someone who's somewhat important, I should at least be a little formal.

We can't keep floating like this.

"..." Raven was inwardly complaining about Chen Luo's completely different behavior in public and in private, but she couldn't be bothered to care.

Once I push open this door and let the two of them meet, my commission will be successful, and I can bring the children to the villa.

After a gentle knock on the door and a slow push, a conference room came into view.

Standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the scenery outside, a figure wearing a black hoodie heard the noise and slowly turned around.

The person under the hood wore a white mask that only revealed the right eye. The mask had a black pattern of two intersecting daggers on it, and the eyes were mechanical prosthetics that emitted a faint red glow.

"It's been a long time, the Doctor," Grey Serpent said to Chen Luo, bowing slightly.

[Ding! Mission complete]

200 Primogem and Elysian Realm Pass in your hands.

A glint of light flashed in Chen Luo's eyes.

Chen Luo likes the title "The Doctor".

Although Chen Luo does not plan to pursue further studies, the desire for higher education is something that every Chinese person has.

Moreover, Chen Luo's parents are both highly educated; otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to participate in so many strange scientific expeditions.

Although there doesn't seem to be the Doctor in this world, it seems to have existed in the Previous Civilization Era.

"You two know each other?" Raven asked in surprise.

Judging from what just happened, these two people not only know each other, but the Grey Serpent, who is usually very arrogant and believes that everything in the world is under the snake's control, seems to respect Chen Luo quite a bit.

"I'm sorry, you may have mistaken me for someone else." Although Chen Luo was satisfied with the way he was addressed, it didn't stop Chen Luo from refusing it.

"Huh?" The Raven paused for a moment.

"You still prefer to use this same line as your opening remarks," Grey Serpent said with a sigh.

"... You might have mistaken me for someone else. I'm only 17 years old, still a teenager. How old are you? Don't try to get close to me." Chen Luo said with disdain.

"But you said the same thing 50,000 years ago. 50,000 years ago you said you were a 17-year-old minor forever," the Grey Serpent sighed again and said once more.

Chapter 227 Chen Luo: So you call yourself the Thirteenth Herrscher?

"Emmm..." Chen Luo was stunned when he heard the Grey Serpent say, "50,000 years ago you said you were a 17-year-old minor forever."

Chen Luo felt that this eternally 17-year-old boy should be more like Yakumo Yukari's opening line.

The only difference is that the boy will be changed to a girl.

But it's quite normal for me to apply that to myself later on.

"Hmm, Chen Luo, you wouldn't happen to be some kind of ancient monster that's tens of thousands of years old, would you?" Raven shifted its position slightly to the side.

Although Raven confirmed through his long-term contact with Chen Luo that Chen Luo was indeed a young man, not some Old Undead monster with a youthful appearance but an old man's heart.

But that doesn't stop Raven from disgusting Chen Luo.

Why did Chen Luo deduct 15 work points from me just now?

That's 15 work points!
