Raven's Survival Crash Course for the Elysian Realm

"You two... aren't you going to ask for my opinion?" Chen Luo raised his hand as he looked at the two who were talking to each other.

"If you don't want this position, you don't have to," Grey Serpent said quite politely.

"Hmm, yes! Why not?" Chen Luo said.

Although joining World Serpent doesn't offer any benefits, Chen Luo has just successfully joined the World Serpent faction.

Chen Luo originally thought that the World Serpent Calculation belonged to the category of Fire Moth, but it is not entirely unexpected that it does not.

The predecessor of Anti-Entropy was the North American Branch Schicksal, so you can't say that Anti-Entropy belongs to Schicksal, can you?

However, this would make Chen Luo a six-times spy.

He will become a wise ruler sooner or later!

"By the way, Grey Serpent, does 'anywhere' you mentioned include the area below?" Raven pointed to the ground.

The Raven here naturally refers to the Elysian Realm. Although Chen Luo knows Sakura, he should also know about the Elysian Realm, but it is not appropriate to say it directly.

"Of course it is." Grey Serpent nodded.

"He can go to any building within the World Serpent's domain."

"Okay, I understand. If there's nothing else, I'll take him with me now." Raven nodded thoughtfully.

"Goodbye." As the Raven led Chen Luo away, a glint flashed in the Grey Serpent's eyes.

Chapter 229 The Raven's Elysian Realm: A Survival Mini-Lesson

"What are we going to do next?" Unlike before, when he was being pulled along by Raven like a kite, this time Chen Luo flew normally in the air, about two centimeters above the ground.

Chen Luo suddenly understood Venti's happiness: flying may not be faster than running, but it is definitely easier than running.

Since this flight is a passive skill, it does not consume Chen Luo's spiritual power or magic power at all; it's like an instinct.

However, flying does seem to require some physical exertion, but it doesn't take much.

"Now go to my room," Raven said as she walked forward.

As a high-ranking official of the World Serpent, Raven naturally has his own room at the World Serpent headquarters.

Or rather, it would be abnormal if it weren't there.

Not long after, Chen Luo accompanied Raven to the other party's room.

A black cloth bag was placed on the porch in front of Raven's house. Seeing the bag, Raven quickened his pace and ran forward.

Seeing the raven's anxious Raven, Chen Luo had an idea.

Just as the Raven was about to reach the bag, it was suddenly grabbed by a hand.

"I'd really like to see what's inside." Chen Luo held the cloth bag in one hand and opened it with the other.

"Wow, how come you run so fast? And hurry up and give it back to me, you can't afford to pay for the damage to the things inside." Raven quickly rushed forward, dodging the cloth bag in Chen Luo's hand.

"It's not that it's broken, nor is it that I can't afford to pay for it. It's filled with gemstones, okay? How could this thing be easily damaged? Of course, there are also some strange-looking works of art. So, this is your payment?"

Although Chen Luo only glanced at it, one glance was enough.

"Yes, that's right. Items like these, which are similar to works of art, are relatively cheap both in the world and inside the world, so I prefer to have Grey Serpent use these things to pay for the bill. Maybe we can sell them for a good price and make a profit," Raven said.

"So Raven, you're quite the expert in appraisal!" Chen Luo exclaimed.

"I'm not an expert appraiser," Raven shook his head.

"Oh, do you want me to help you with the appraisal? I won't charge you." Chen Luo asked.

Although Chen Luo wasn't very knowledgeable about gemstone and art appraisal, wouldn't it be enough to just touch it?

Moreover, even without being Furniture Mastery, Chen Luo has his own methods. Didn't Chen Luo also buy an Appraisal Eye from Liu Wenxuan?

This Appraisal Eye is probably a skill Liu Wenxuan uses to confirm forging materials, and it's quite useful overall. It even has a chance to reveal the enemy's weaknesses.

Furthermore, after purchasing the skill, it becomes a conceptual skill that also applies to things in other worlds.

Therefore, Chen Luo can really be considered a master appraiser who can do everything.

Speaking of which, if Liu Wenxuan were to quit being Talent User in the future, he would be more than capable of becoming an antique connoisseur.

"Forget it, I have better candidates. For this kind of appraisal, someone with better artistic talent and a longer lifespan is more convincing," Raven said, taking out his key and opening his door.

Raven doesn't distrust Chen Luo... well, Raven just doesn't trust Chen Luo, especially since Raven has a free appraisal master.

"..." Chen Luo didn't care that Raven hadn't given him any commissions. After all, he couldn't expect everyone to completely trust him. Besides, Chen Luo was more interested in Raven's bedroom than taking on commissions.

So Chen Luo flew directly into the other party's room without Raven's objection.

"Don't touch anything in my room, and don't step on certain things... never mind, just don't touch anything." Raven originally wanted to remind Chen Luo not to step on certain things. But after seeing that Chen Luo was flying and his feet never touched the ground, she took back her words.

"You didn't actually install bombs or other traps in your own room, did you?" Chen Luo asked, slightly surprised.

Do such people really exist in the world? And this is the headquarters of the World Serpent.

If the World Serpent were truly invaded, who would bother to sneak into your room for no reason?

"Oh, no, I just set up a lot of small details that only I can see. It's a kind of marker to detect whether other people have come in, so don't touch it randomly. It's quite troublesome to rearrange it after you mess it up," Raven said.

Then, Chen Luo saw Raven take out another small box from a hidden compartment in a dressing table. After opening the box, Chen Luo, who was standing next to it, could see that it contained the same type of items as the small cloth bag.

Chen Luo wasn't particularly interested in this.

In fact, Chen Luo's family also had quite a few similar items, but since Chen Luo was not short of money, he naturally could not sell them. Therefore, Chen Luo preferred cash to those gemstones and the like.

At least you can buy snacks with cash, and those things wouldn't even get you a bag of spicy strips from the convenience store owner!

It was truly thanks to the bar that Chen Luo's Chen Luo was saved; otherwise, he might not have even been able to afford to support the Herrscher of Knowledge.

Chen Luo, who was entering the girls' room for the first time, started to wander around Raven's room. Raven's room was actually quite large, or rather, the treatment of the World Serpent Base cadres was quite good.

The room has two bedrooms, one living room, one kitchen, and one bathroom, and is about the same size as a normal family house.

However, it seemed that Raven had slightly modified his room. At least when Chen Luo entered the second bedroom, which was not closed, he did not see a bed, but rather a lot of weapons and some small props that looked like they had strange functions.

This included the 10 Plague Gem gems that Chen Luo gave to Raven, which were casually piled on the table.

"Does this guy think these things are common?" Chen Luo couldn't help but complain, looking at the gems that were piled up so casually.

It's important to know that although these Plague Gems don't contribute as much as normal gems, only about 1%, they are still Herrscher Cores.

Although this thing can only exist for a maximum of six months, if a suitable carrier is found, these 10 counterfeit Plague Gems can be used to create 10 counterfeit versions of the Little Herrscher of Flame.

It's not that the stronger the gem's power, the better. The stronger the gem's power, the more even an excellent A-rank Valkyrie might not be able to control it, but the power contained in this fake is just right.

Although it's not a large amount, stealing a small part of the Herrscher Core might still be possible.

Of course, Chen Luo did not conduct research in this area; Chen Luo merely proposed an idea.

But in any case, these 10 Plague Gems are definitely more valuable than the bag of gems and artwork that the Raven just harvested.

"So Raven's appraisal skills are really low. Tsk tsk." Chen Luo sighed a couple of times before continuing to inspect the weapons in the room.

"Chen Luo, let's go!" Raven called from the living room.

"Oh." Chen Luo responded and came out, seeing that Raven was carrying a small box.

"Where are we going?" Chen Luo asked.

"I'll take you to the Elysian Realm. Since you know Sakura, you should also know about the Elysian Realm, right? I bet you've never been there before, so this time I'll take you to broaden your horizons. Anyway, Grey Serpent said he'll take you anywhere," Raven said.

"It'll take another hour for that villa to be finished. Now's a good time for us to take a look around, and I can show you around. Aren't I good to you? If you're touched, give me a raise." Raven looked at Chen Luo expectantly and said.

"... Xiola, I have a question. Could the art appraisal master you mentioned be Eden?" Chen Luo glanced at the small box in Raven's hand and then squinted at Raven.

"How did you know?" the Raven exclaimed.

"Based on what I've heard about Eden's character from Eden deeds, she wouldn't appraise your items for such a mundane reason, would she?"

Eden wouldn't work for anyone for a little money; Eden's wealth is beyond your imagination!

You know the Elysian Realm, right? It used to be Eden's property, and its original name was the Golden Courtyard.

"Oh, please don't ask. Eden and I are friends, what's impossible about it? Besides, I brought her a bottle of good wine, didn't I?" Raven said, holding up the red wine in his hand.

"It's fine if you don't ask, but if you see her later, ask her?" Chen Luo nodded.

"No, no, no, well, cough cough, actually... I just thought Eden had a good eye for art, so I asked her to authenticate these things. But you absolutely mustn't tell Eden this," Raven warned Chen Luo.

"..." Chen Luo suddenly understood why Grey Serpent hadn't mentioned Elysian Realm at all when he said he wanted Raven to take him Elysian Realm. It turned out he was waiting for Raven here.

The Raven was really completely under their thumb.

It seems that the Grey Serpent must have known about what the Raven had done before, which is why it gave the Raven the last bag of gems and artwork that filled the Raven's little treasure trove.

Tsk tsk.

Raven.

No wonder the Grey Serpent didn't stop Raven from leaving the World Serpent; it believed the World Serpent had given the most and was the most suitable for Raven.

The Grey Serpent had long since figured out the Raven's personality.

At least that's true when it comes to saving money.

"Hey, did you hear me? Remember to keep this a secret, or I'm not going to work today," Raven said to Chen Luo.

[Ding! You have a new request!]

[Confidential]: Cutting off someone's livelihood is like killing their parents. Do not tell Eden the truth that the Raven often brings modern artworks to see Eden.

Reward: 200 Primogems + random reward.

"Well, I can keep it a secret, but I have one request." Chen Luo paused for a moment as he looked at the commission.

The Raven's obsession with keeping secrets is so strong that it even resulted in a random reward.

Or is it that Raven simply doesn't want to take this thing outside and waste the appraisal fee, but instead wants to get free labor from Eden?

"What are your requirements?" Raven looked at Chen Luo suspiciously.

"You are absolutely, absolutely, absolutely forbidden from mentioning the bar in the Elysian Realm. You can't tell anyone if they ask, understand? Otherwise, I'll expose all your secrets."

"No problem, it's a deal, no take-backs." Raven agreed instantly.

Hey, isn't it just about keeping this a secret? Why would people from the Elysian Realm ask about bars?

It's nothing, it's nothing.

"The contract has been made, and those who break their word shall Wrath of the Rocks."

"What does that mean?" Raven didn't quite understand.

"If you breach the contract, I'll stuff the jewels from your little piggy bank into your mouth and make you swallow them."

Gems are considered Geo-elemental creations, so there's no problem.

"Wow, so vicious?" The Raven was startled.

"And my work points will be reset to zero, since you already promised me."

"Normally I won't deduct your work points, unless you break a promise you made to me. Of course, you can also use your work points to buy an indulgence ticket, and I can forgive you for one mistake." Chen Luo offered the indulgence ticket service to Raven Friendship.

"What medieval religious money-making scheme? You can even name indulgences?" Raven couldn't help but complain.

Modern religions don't sell this stuff anymore, so why are you?

"200 work points per piece, take it or leave it."

To be honest, 200 credits to forgive someone for a mistake isn't expensive.

Although Chen Luo was joking about the indulgence, he was serious about giving the other party a chance.

After all, if the Raven has reached the point where indulgences can be used, it means that it has caused quite a bit of trouble.

"No one in their right mind would buy that!"

200 work points per sheet? Why don't you just rob someone?

"Anyway, we've already agreed that we'll keep it a secret from each other."

"Okay, okay, it's just a bar. If you don't tell and I don't tell, how would the people of the Elysian Realm know?"
