The Void Archive after exceeding its limit also possesses this ability, and it has been improved: it can change the appearance and size of copied items and perform targeted enhancements on certain parts.

The prerequisite is to expend more energy.

"Hmm, the Insanely Modified Thermobaric Bomb - Silver Bullet Version, plus the Heavenly Fire Judgment that can be projected once and lasts for a month. If someone looks down on the guns in their hand and then gets hit by a bullet-shaped thermobaric bomb... tsk tsk." Chen Luo played with his dual pistols, revealing an expectant look.

The power of the Insanely Modified Thermobaric Bomb is self-evident; if an opponent were to be hit at point-blank range...

In Chen Luo's main world, any Talent User or powerful figures who are worthy of respect would look down on guns, because guns are simply too weak, and most creatures in the Abyss Channel are immune to physical attacks that are not imbued with spiritual power.

Therefore, the guns and bullets imbued with spiritual power that Liu Wenxuan gave to Chen Luo can at most be considered high-end toys.

"This combination is strong, but it consumes a lot of resources... The five-star, after being upgraded, can become the Heavenly Fire Judgment of An-Utu, but it can only be maintained for a month, and it cost me 5 Honkai Crystal."

"The Insanely Modified Thermobaric Bomb - Silver Bullet Version requires one Honkai Crystal for each one. Moreover, the un-weakened Silver Bullet might kill me too. Although I can revive, it will definitely hurt a lot, so perhaps it needs to be modified... weakening its power a bit, while reducing its consumption."

Each bullet produces one Honkai Crystal; even if Chen Luo could condense Honkai Crystal, he couldn't afford to waste that much time.

It's incredibly expensive.

The simple Insanely Modified Thermobaric Bomb only requires 0.5 Honkai Crystal, but the problem is that modifying its form and specializing it is very laborious, so it requires one Honkai Crystal.

Although he could use his own magic power as energy, the problem was that although Chen Yangluo's cultivation speed was less than 20 times that of others, Chen Luo growth rate was even faster than his cultivation speed.

So the magic power is still not enough.

"It's getting cold, and I'm bankrupt too," Chen Luo sighed.

Chen Luo had indeed been condensing Honkai Crystal for a long time in Changkong City, and had made great gains from it.

However, Chen Luo hadn't been to Changkong City for a while, and he had consumed quite a bit of energy during that time, so his consumption was indeed quite high, and he had less than 200 Honkai Crystal left.

Without enough Honkai Crystal, there aren't enough modified thermobaric bombs; without enough modified thermobaric bombs, Chen Luo will suffer from a fear of insufficient firepower...

"Hmm, another one. That makes 200 now." Chen Luo said as he put the Honkai Crystal that was slowly forming in his hand into his backpack.

As for why Honkai Crystal suddenly appeared... it can only be said that the Honkai energy in Changkong City Honkai energy too abundant.

Chen Luo sat behind the bar and looked up to see the Bar Door that was always open.

Chen Luo opened the Bar Door directly in Changkong City and kept absorbing Honkai energy from outside the bar into it.

In this way, Chen Luo can stay in the bar and harvest Honkai Crystal as easily as picking peaches.

What if other customers come in while the bar is open, but can't come in because the Bar Door is open?

"Jingle!"

The wind chimes rang, but this time the sound didn't come from directly in front of Chen Luo; it came from the side.

Who said a bar only has one door?

This is something Chen Luo only recently learned.

Normally, the bar has a fair number of customers, but not too many, so they can usually enter at different times. However, the night before last, when Venti and Eula came in from different places, they opened two doors, which surprised Chen Luo.

It turned out that the bar could open at least 10 doors at a time.

Now Chen Luo knew why even the seats closest to the wall in his bar were some distance away from the wall – it was to leave room for the door to open.

A door can be opened every half meter.

The reason why at least 10 doors can be opened is that Chen Luo found 10 people willing to participate in the experiment.

Chen Luo thought that the door might also be open on the second floor.

"Chen... Huh?" The newcomer was clearly puzzled as to not immediately see the bar after opening the door.

"Here it is." Chen Luo tapped the table.

"Huh? Chen Luo, when did your bar get renovated? How come I didn't know?" Lumine, looking puzzled.

I just came here once.

"It wasn't renovated; you opened the second door. Try walking through that door, and you'll feel like you're back," Chen Luo said, pointing to the door opposite him.

"I see, we're getting to know each other now." Lumine stood in front of Gate 1 and looked at Chen Luo, instantly feeling familiar with him.

Of course, someone even more familiar Venti, the Anemo Archon, who's sleeping soundly next to him, taking advantage of the chaos.

Lumine really felt that the sleeping Barbatos was becoming a permanent feature of the bar. If all else failed, she suggested that Chen Luo give Venti some money for drinks so that he could stay sleeping there. Otherwise, it would be a little strange if she couldn't see him anymore.

Venti, who was drunk and fast asleep, was sleeping soundly, unless she sensed any malice. At least Chen Luo's fiddling with the cannonballs didn't wake her up.

"Then I'll close both doors for you," Lumine said.

"Please mind your own business, thank you." Chen Luo rolled his eyes at Lumine.

"Oh," Lumine responded softly.

"Speak, what is it? Why are you being so attentive?" Chen Luo asked after stuffing the silver bullet into the Heavenly Fire Judgment.

"Logically speaking, you should be participating in the Rite of Descension right now, right?"

"Oh, well... I came here this time because of the matter of the Rite of Descension," Lumine said.

"What is it?"

"Ding-a-ling!" Chen Luo had just asked his question and Lumine hadn't even answered when the wind chimes rang again.

Chen Luo found it really strange, because normally there aren't many people in the bar during the day.

"Hmm, this bar is indeed convenient."

"Mr. Zhongli, how did you get here?" Chen Luo glanced at Zhongli curiously.

Logically speaking, Zhongli should be busy arranging her own funeral right now, so why is she having time to come to a bar?

Do you want to drink alcohol now or tea now?

"Just call me Zhongli," Zhongli said.

"So? Do you agree?" Zhongli asked.

"Wait, what? I agreed? What happened?" Chen Luo was stunned.

"You haven't said anything yet?" Zhongli glanced at Lumine.

"I was just about to say that, and here you are. Since you're here, why didn't you come in with me?" Lumine said.

"I wanted to see if this bar was really that convenient. And it turned out to be."

"..."

Well, Lumine is quite understanding of the other party.

"The thing is, we are preparing for the Rite of Descension, so we purchased a batch of Candlelight-grade Noctilucous Jade. We need jewelers to craft these Noctilucous Jade into the objects required for the ceremony."

"If we're talking purely about carving skills, you're probably the most skilled and best suited person I've ever met for this carving," Zhongli said in a deep voice.

"After all, for the final funeral of the Geo Archon, if possible, we should use the best Noctilucous Jade and the best craftsmen."

"No way, what do you take me for? My carving skills may be high, but I'm a puppeteer. What's the point of asking me to make a bunch of tools..." Chen Luo looked at Zhongli in disbelief.

Asking me to carve funeral items? You really have the nerve to say that.

[Ding! You have a new request!]

[A Cup to Rex Lapis]: Carve out items for Morax 'Morax funeral that will satisfy Morax.

Reward: 200 Primogem + Gnosis (one-time use)

Difficulty: Two stars

"I can pay more," Zhongli said.

Although Zhongli had no money, Zhongli said "add more money" with a straight face.

Zhongli had seen Chen Luo's carving skills.

Although Zhongli had some reservations about Chen Luo's choice of materials for making the ornaments, after all, how could freshly cut wood be used to make ornaments? Wouldn't it be prone to cracking?

However, buying an accessory with an Adeptus Formations for 5000 Mora really doesn't warrant much comment.

However, Zhongli greatly admired Chen Luo's carving skills.

The materials are now ready.

"Hey, Zhongli, do you have money?" Hearing Zhongli's generous remark, Paimon instinctively sensed something was wrong, so he tugged at Zhongli's clothes.

"Hmm... In such a short time, I haven't had a chance to see you, Childe, so the reward..." Zhongli pondered for a moment before turning his gaze to Lumine.

"..." Lumine covered her head in pain.

Zhongli himself has no money, yet he spends it extravagantly...

But Lumine got used to it.

"Chen Luo, I've been your tool for so long. I've worked hard even if I haven't done anything great. How can you bear to take my money?" Lumine covered her face with one hand, and after a while, she looked at Chen Luo with a pitiful expression.

There's no way I'd spend any money; I'd never spend any money in my life.

Anyway, for Chen Luo, who just received 1.5 billion Mora, giving away all his wealth wouldn't even be a drop in the ocean for the other party.

So the only option left is to resort to a self-inflicted injury.

"Stop, stop, stop! I'll take the job, I won't charge you." Seeing Lumine start to complain, Chen Luo immediately raised his hand, interrupting her spellcasting.

From a generally rational perspective, Lumine did indeed help Chen Luo farm several hundred Primogem, but Chen Luo also gave her a One-Eyed Treasure. Moreover, this Commission Cards was just a side effect; Lumine herself didn't hesitate to accept the commission from the other party.

Helping Chen Luo complete his commissions was probably just a side job.

However, in order not to dampen Lumine's enthusiasm, Chen Luo compromised.

"Great!" Lumine cheered.

"By the way, Zhongli, I exchanged my previous labor for this exemption from payment. Can I ask the Childe for payment?" Lumine asked Zhongli.

"From a purely rational perspective, you used your personal connections to waive the fees this time, and therefore you also lost something. So it is reasonable for you and the Childe to ask for compensation."

After all, in Zhongli's view, personal connections and networks are also a kind of resource.

Sometimes, personal connections and networks can achieve things that Mora cannot.

"Hmm, how much should I charge the Childe?" Lumine began to ponder.

Chen Luo ripped off the Childe 1.5 billion Mora, so I'll rip him off for 100 million...

Forget it, let's go with 100,000.

Lumine thought that although the Childe might be a bit simple-minded, he wasn't stupid.

No, let's go with 200,000.

Give it a try, it doesn't cost any money.

Chapter 338 Chen Luo: Do you really think I'm omnipotent?

"Oh, right, Ying, remember this: I'm not doing this for nothing," Chen Luo suddenly said just as Lumine was thinking about how much money to extort from the Childe.

Anyway, since the Childe is Fatui and uses money from the Northland Bank, Lumine can scam him without any guilt. Let's just consider it revenge for Venti.

"What? It's all for nothing?" Lumine's tone instantly turned sour.

No way, am I going to owe another meal?

"This time it's not about you treating me to a meal, it's about remembering to call me if you're going to buy some 'Everlasting Incense'," Chen Luo said to Lumine.

"Everlasting Incense? What's that?" Lumine was taken aback.

"I didn't expect that you, Chen Luo, would also know about the Rite of Descension. The Everlasting Incense is the authentic incense that conforms to the Rite of Descension," Zhongli explained.

"It's like when you go to some strange temple to offer incense, you always have to take a stick of incense, right? Everlasting Incense is something similar. It's used for offerings. So if you go to buy Everlasting Incense, remember to call me," Chen Luo said to the group.

After saying that, Chen Luo flicked his finger, and countless transparent threads flew out from inside the bar, exiting through Gate 2. After a while, they returned, each thread tied with a number of stones.

The other party kept the door open, so Chen Luo could see the Noctilucous Jade placed next to the doorway.

"Great, just remember to call me when you buy the Everlasting Incense, right? I'll take care of it." Lumine patted her chest and assured her.

Although I don't know why Chen Luo knows about the Everlasting Incense, it's just a casual greeting, no problem.

"That's enough." Chen Luo nodded.

Chen Luo mainly wanted to get in touch with that guy... what was his name again?
