Chen Luo lightly snapped his fingers.
Without any warning, Little Evil God's body was instantly split in two. The lower half of her serpentine tail was severed, and even after being cut off, it kept wriggling. The sight was extremely bloody and grotesque.
"Can you hurry up and do it already?" Little Evil God urged with her eyes still closed.
"It's already done."
"Huh?" Little Evil God froze, then opened her eyes. The lower half of her body was indeed gone, but she was not panicked in the slightest. After all, this had happened hundreds of times before.
After losing most of her lower serpentine tail, Little Evil God's body began gradually recovering, slowly growing back her original tail.
Seeing this, Mobius, who had only come to retrieve her belongings, immediately lit up with excitement.
"Rapid healing?"
"What do you know? This is called ultra-high-speed regeneration. I'm not bragging, but even if I were thrown into a meat grinder, I'd revive before long." Looking at the ignorant Mobius, Little Evil God gave her the middle finger.
"That powerful?"
"Of course. I am a high-ranking demon of great status in the Demon Realm." Little Evil God proudly lifted her head.
Meanwhile, Chen Luo forcibly held down the severed tail, which twitched from time to time.
Strangely, the tail did not bleed. It was as if the flow of blood had been perfectly cut off the instant it was severed.
Evil God's Tail (Four-star Material · Fake): The tail of a high-ranking demon of great status in the Demon Realm. Extremely delicious when used for barbecue or snake soup.
Price: 10 Primogems per jin
"..."
Wait, how much?
10 Primogems?
Damn it, even one of my cheapest talismans costs 10 Consciousness. You're an Evil God! This is a four-star material!
Then Chen Luo saw a note.
(Note: When this material is outside the Demon Realm, it is merely ordinary snake meat. When it is within the Demon Realm of this world, it will immediately be elevated into a genuine four-star material. Eating it rapidly strengthens the body, grants power, and enhances magic, but there is a chance of demonic transformation.)
"..."
Trash Little Evil God!
Little Evil God Flying Kick
Little Evil God Flying Kick (Skill): It was supposed to be the ultimate kicking technique personally taught by the Queen of the Underworld in the Demon Realm. It could be mastered in eighty years, and one kick could easily sink Tokyo. However, Little Evil God was too useless; she had failed to master it even after a thousand years and had even trained it wrong.
This skill dealt moderate damage to ordinary lifeforms or buildings and was an ordinarily powerful kicking technique.
However, when the target was an angel or a Heavenly Realm creature, it immediately became a rule-type kicking technique, dealing massive damage to angels or Heavenly Realm creatures and inflicting a temporary magic-ban effect, causing them to lose their abilities.
"..." Chen Luo fell silent when he saw the skill awarded by the Two-star Commission.
If you said it was strong, then its damage against ordinary lifeforms or buildings could only be called average.
But if you said it was weak, it could deal massive damage to angels or Heavenly Realm creatures. It could even kick an angel into an ordinary person with a single blow.
This Little Evil God was truly outrageous.
Sure enough, discussing power levels in a gag anime was incredibly unwise.
But the problem was, where was Chen Luo supposed to find a Heavenly Realm creature?
"Hey, A'Luo, aren't you going to check on that Mobius? She's trying to buy snake meat from Little Evil God. If you don't stop her, what if she gets the snake meat and causes the world line to collapse? Who knows what Mobius would do with that Evil God flesh!"
While Chen Luo was spacing out, the Herrscher of Knowledge in his mind hurried him.
"Don't worry. They won't successfully make a deal." Chen Luo was quite calm.
"Can I buy your meat with those capsule toy things or something? I'll definitely bring them to you tomorrow." Although Mobius did not understand capsule toys and the like, Klein beside her knew a little about them.
"No. One set of collectibles from a Different World is enough." Little Evil God shook her head.
"Then I can buy it with money."
"Oh, really? Then how many yen are you offering?" Little Evil God became interested as soon as Mobius said that.
"What yen?" Mobius was somewhat confused.
What was yen?
"Yen is the currency issued by the countries of the Far East. Your two worlds are different, so how could your currencies possibly be the same?" Chen Luo walked over at that moment.
The worldview and currency used in the Honkai Impact 3rd World were indeed the same as those of Chen Luo's world. At the very least, the 1,000 yen Chen Luo had received could not be identified as fake through the simple counterfeit-detection methods of this world.
But the previous civilization was clearly different from the current one. At the very least, their currency was different.
"Then I'll buy it with gold," Mobius said after falling silent for a moment.
Gold should be universally accepted, right?
"Gold is fine, but do you have a gold purchase invoice?" Little Evil God nodded, then asked Mobius.
"A gold purchase invoice?" Mobius froze again.
"Doctor, a gold purchase invoice is generally required when a gold shop buys back gold, to prove that the source of the gold is legitimate. But we're from two different worlds. A legitimate gold purchase invoice from our world probably won't work in another world," Klein said softly.
"However, some gold shops will still buy it back if you're willing to sell it at a low price. After all, even stolen money will find buyers if the profit is high enough. The process is just a little troublesome." Chen Luo suddenly spoke up for Mobius.
"In that case, I'm willing to offer one kilogram of gold—no, two kilograms of gold. I only need to buy a little meat." Mobius glanced at Chen Luo, who had spoken for her, before looking at Little Evil God.
"Ah, it's troublesome? Then forget it. If it's that troublesome, I might as well just ask Medusa for money directly." After thinking about it, Little Evil God shook her head and refused.
Medusa was Little Evil God's childhood friend. Her family was rich, and she never refused any of Little Evil God's requests. She was practically an automatic cash machine.
In fact, Little Evil God's family was quite wealthy too.
"...Then I can exchange all kinds of supplies." Although Mobius did not know who Medusa was, this method of trading had clearly failed as well.
"No. The owner of this shop has already promised to let me eat and drink here for free." Little Evil God shook her head again.
Mobius looked at Chen Luo once more.
Chen Luo spread his hands. "How was I supposed to know you wanted to buy Evil God meat too?"
You can't blame me for that.
"And as an aside, food and drinks at our shop are free to begin with. Even you didn't pay yesterday, did you?" Chen Luo casually added.
"Wait, doesn't that mean I got ripped off?" Little Evil God froze.
"No, how could you have gotten ripped off? How about this? I'll allow you to bring other people to the shop to eat and drink for free. What do you think?" Chen Luo said to Little Evil God.
"Mm, that works. You're a good person. I like the look of you." Little Evil God patted Chen Luo on the shoulder.
If she brought Medusa to this magical shop where she could eat and drink for free, Medusa would definitely be very grateful to her. Then getting money from her later would become even easier.
The effect of Friend of the Non-Human had become godlike.
Perhaps Chen Luo had already been regarded as a friend by Little Evil God.
Yet Chen Luo was not happy at all, because becoming Little Evil God's friend often meant getting screwed over even harder by her.
Still, he would forgive her for the possibility that she might bring in more customers.
"Oh, right. This should be yours. Here, take it back." Just as Chen Luo was about to go check on Venti, he remembered something and returned an earring to Mobius.
Mobius had dropped it in the shop yesterday while dancing with a wine glass in hand.
Once again, Mobius's behavior after getting drunk was truly terrible.
But after taking back the earring, Mobius did not even say thank you.
Mobius had come this time to retrieve the earring, but she now had a more important objective.
She had to get her hands on that Evil God's flesh.
Such terrifying regenerative ability, combined with it being special material from a Different World...
The second case of Hyper-Evolution Surgery had already been successfully completed, proving that Hyper-Evolution Surgery was viable.
Mobius had originally planned to perform the third Hyper-Evolution Surgery on herself within the next few days, but she had not expected such an unexpected gain.
Since she could not obtain flesh from that Evil God, then she could only get it from the shop owner.
After all, he had just obtained such a large piece of snake meat, and Mobius only needed a small portion.
Mobius's gaze fell on Chen Luo, who was talking with Venti.
"A'Luo, can we discuss something?" Venti said to Chen Luo.
"If there's something, just say it. We're friends."
"If we're friends, can you stop deliberately farming commissions off me all the time? In a couple of days, I'll bring you a customer who's easier to farm commissions from. Can you let me off?" Venti sighed.
Venti had originally planned to bring that person over today, which was why he had arrived late. But when he was about to go find him tonight, he suddenly remembered that the man seemed to be out on a mission beyond Mondstadt City.
Mei Biu Si's Oath
Venti did not mind Chen Luo accepting his commissions. Venti gave up wishes while Chen Luo gave him wine. It was a fair trade, with no problem at all.
But deliberately farming commissions was Chen Luo's fault.
Every now and then, Chen Luo would suddenly shout that he was cutting off Venti's alcohol supply. Although Venti knew Chen Luo definitely would not do it, he was still frightened every time.
"Of course, no problem. But do you really not want to drink wine brewed by the Anemo Archon? This chance won't come twice. Once it's gone, it's gone." Chen Luo had agreed to Venti's request one second, then began promoting his wine the next.
"...No."
Venti had just given Chen Luo a commission, but Chen Luo had not accepted it.
What a joke. How could he abandon such a useful pawn as Venti for just 10 Primogems?
When you were suppressing Stormterror in the game, you treated me like a tool.
Now you can experience what it feels like to be treated as one too!
"A'Luo, Doctor Mobius seems to be thinking about buying snake meat from you. Snake Snake buying snake meat sounds pretty interesting, doesn't it?" the Herrscher of Knowledge's voice rang in Chen Luo's ears.
"She wants to buy snake meat? Perfect, I want to sell it too. I spent so much stuff and only got an ingredient that works in the Demon Realm." Chen Luo's heart ached whenever he mentioned it.
What Chen Luo failed to reflect on was that the things he had used to buy that snake meat were only a negligible set of collectibles and less than one Primogem's worth of Primogems.
"Doctor Mobius, right? If you have anything you want to discuss, come with me to the second floor." Two drinks suddenly appeared in Chen Heng's hands, and he handed one to Mobius.
"Don't worry, it's not alcohol. Doctor Mobius, your alcohol tolerance is really quite impressive. I wouldn't dare give you alcohol while discussing business."
Seeing Mobius's wary expression, Chen Luo felt like laughing.
"...Fine." Mobius ultimately accepted the drink.
Just as Mobius sometimes could not refuse investors' drinking parties, it was probably normal to drink while discussing business like this.
Although Mobius had always considered it a bad custom.
After settling the guests who had arrived, Chen Luo brought Mobius upstairs to the second floor.
After all, the business they were about to discuss would probably be rather significant.
"After I got drunk yesterday, I came here..." Mobius began after finding a bar table on the second floor and sitting down.
"You did indeed come here after getting drunk yesterday. At your strong insistence, we served you several drinks. But seeing how drunk you were, we added some special hangover remedies to the alcohol."
"I didn't do anything embarrassing yesterday, did I?" Mobius asked again.
"Of course not, Doctor Mobius. You merely held my arm while calling me Klein, singing and dancing, and insisting on dragging me into finger guessing games with you. Other than that, there was nothing else." Chen Luo answered warmly.
"..." Mobius remained silent.
Mobius had some idea of what she was like when drunk, but why had she mistaken this young man for Klein?
"Enough about that. Since you brought me upstairs, that means you saw through my intentions, right? Name your price. What do you want before you're willing to give me some of the snake meat in your possession?" Doctor Mobius clearly did not want to have a warm and friendly conversation with Chen Luo about this subject.
Who would want to discuss their embarrassing drunken history?
"Huh? So Miss Mobius wanted to buy snake meat? Not delete videos of your embarrassing history? Then I misunderstood." Chen Luo put on a surprised expression.
"Videos of my embarrassing history?" Mobius immediately had a bad feeling.
Before you continue
