Their Commission Rewards Are Not Right

Chen Luo felt that the Herrscher of Knowledge had a point: it's best to beat up your younger sibling early.

When Chen Luo eventually developed, he would also be this unrestrained. He'd sit on top of the Herrscher of Knowledge and make her sing "Conquer."

With that thought, Chen Luo glanced at his talent panel.

1830 raw stones.

Two days ago, after completing Mobius's mission, Chen Luo's raw stone reserves were 1465. These 365 raw stones were his earnings from Wednesday and Thursday.

When there were no new guests, no new "wool" to shear, and not many guests overall, the maximum daily raw stone income was about 200.

What made Chen Luo feel disappointed was that Venti still didn't dare to drink the wine brewed by the Anemo Archon.

What was Venti afraid of? That he would use him as brewing material.

"Alright, I'm off to school. Today is Friday, the last day before summer vacation. Once summer vacation starts, if there's nothing special going on, tomorrow we should be heading out to complete that 'Saving Private Kiana' mission," Chen Luo said, turning to the Herrscher of Knowledge.

When summer vacation arrived, he wouldn't worry about summer homework for now. After all, if he didn't finish his summer homework, at most he'd get scolded by the teacher.

Given Chen Luo's reputation among teachers, even if he said his summer homework was eaten by a husky, the teachers probably wouldn't be too suspicious. They'd just tell him to be more careful next time.

And his 45-day summer vacation would be Chen Luo's time to wreak havoc in other worlds.

Chen Luo knew this summer vacation would be exciting.

The most crucial part was that no matter how much he messed around in other worlds, he wouldn't be chased back to his own world. That was the biggest guarantee.

Moreover, Chen Luo had discovered that quests involving other worlds usually offered generous rewards.

It was predictable that any quest with high rewards would inevitably offend some people. If those people were from another world, then he wouldn't have to worry too much.

Chen Luo increasingly felt that his talents were simply too awesome.

"Okay, thanks to the Inner Demon Lure, my recovery speed has also increased. By tonight, I should be fully recovered, and I might even break through again," the Herrscher of Knowledge nodded.

This was why they said traveling between worlds was risky but highly rewarding.

Not to mention anything else, the spatial turbulence alone had modified the Herrscher of Knowledge's body to some extent. This time, after consuming an Inner Demon Lure, her potential had become even higher.

It was just a pity that items like this, which could clearly make the Herrscher of Knowledge stronger, were probably rare.

"Then I'm heading to school. You take your time collecting negative emotions," Chen Luo waved at the Herrscher of Knowledge and left the house.

When Chen Luo arrived at the school gate, riding a bicycle that cost more than all his current living expenses combined, he discovered something extraordinary.

Liu Wenxuan had actually come to school, and standing beside him was Yun Xia, whom it was rare to see at the school gate.

In addition, a blonde woman stood opposite them, creating a standoff.

The powerful aura made passing students instinctively steer clear. Some teachers seemed to want to intervene but hesitated to step forward.

Although Chen Luo's intuition told him that this situation was probably not suitable for him to get involved in, the problem was that Chen Luo had already reached the school gate. If he turned around and left now, it would attract even more attention.

Chen Luo's arrival seemed to break the silence between the three and made him the focus of their attention.

"Chen Luo, right? Such a minor wind-element talent user, yet you've managed to captivate three S-rank talent users. If I hadn't actually detected wind elements on him, I would have thought the other party possessed a succubus talent," the blonde woman said with a light laugh after seeing Chen Luo, her arrogance and disdain evident.

"Yvette, if you dare to lay a hand on him, I'll go smash the Vatican! Then I'll tear you to shreds!" Liu Wenxuan glared fiercely at her.

"My pride isn't so low that I would attack a lower-level talent user. My target is the two of you," the blonde woman, known as Yvette, said coldly.

"We've already said we won't attack you easily. S-rank talent users attacking each other, especially S-rank talent users from different countries, will cause major problems," Liu Wenxuan said with a cold gaze at the lunatic whose face was plastered with "eagerness for battle."

"It's fine, I can wait. And I can directly file an application with the country," the beautiful blonde woman smiled.

"You can even wait to file an application? That doesn't sound like you?" Yun Xia looked at her with surprise.

"Don't judge me by preconceived notions. I understand the bigger picture," the blonde woman shrugged and then turned to leave.

However... Chen Luo felt like she had given him a deep look before leaving.

That one look made Chen Luo's hair stand on end.

Chapter 58: Wait, you said you're an angel?

"Yvette Peg. Don't be fooled by her beautiful appearance; she's actually an extremely battle-crazed lunatic. If Liu Wenxuan has a bit too much courage for battle, then she simply enjoys fighting,"

Yun Xia, sitting in the classroom, explained the situation of the person from earlier to Chen Luo.

The reason the other party could stand at the school gate and openly speak about otherworldly matters was because she had used a small trick, causing only talent users to hear those remarks. Chen Luo had also heard them.

Chen Luo instinctively felt this person was dangerous, which was why he inquired about her during class.

Yun Xia didn't say anything like "You don't need to know this, just live your life properly" but instead diligently explained everything to Chen Luo.

"She's an S-rank talent user. Her specific talent is closely guarded by the Western Church, but we suspect her talent is likely one that grows through continuous combat. The more desperate the battle, the higher she improves. She's one of the S-rank talent users in recent decades most likely to break through to become an SS-rank talent user."

"Oh, and also, unless it's someone you trust implicitly, don't tell others your specific talent. At most, tell them your talent rank. Beyond that, don't say anything else, as not all talent users are friendly towards each other." Perhaps remembering something, Yun Xia specifically cautioned Chen Luo.

In Yun Xia's opinion, someone as good-natured as Chen Luo might be too trusting of others. To prevent a tragedy, it was necessary to remind him beforehand.

"Don't worry about that," Chen Luo nodded confidently.

Let alone not telling others the name of his talent, no one even knew Chen Luo's talent rank right now.

Even the Herrscher of Knowledge didn't, because she wasn't interested.

And that A-rank talent, Wandering Swordsman, was just a disguise Chen Luo used.

The reason the other party could tell Chen Luo possessed wind-attribute skills was likely because Chen Luo used his Vision while traveling here.

This would indeed leave behind some wind element residue.

It wasn't that Chen Luo was being careless; he just felt that since his identity as a Talent User was already exposed to Liu Wenxuan and Yun Xia, there was no need to hide it anymore.

"However, the other party is also an S-rank Talent User and has already given us their word, so you shouldn't worry about them attacking you. But it's always best to be cautious."

"Don't worry, my Wandering Swordsman. If there's one thing I'm good at, it's running fast," Chen Luo nodded.

In fact, Chen Luo's talent was precisely this: his tavern could be summoned at any time and appear anywhere. As long as he escaped into the tavern, the other party wouldn't be able to harm him.

"After summer vacation starts, are you going to travel the whole time? If you feel your strength is sufficient, you can come find me or Liu Wenxuan. We can take you to challenge the Abyss Channels, where Talent Users can grow better," Yun Xia said to Chen Luo.

"Slaying the monsters in the Abyss Channels can better hone combat skills, and the materials dropped by the monsters also have many things that can strengthen the physique. You can also sell them to buy what you need. However, your current strength is too weak, so you should focus on improving it," Yun Xia advised.

"I understand. I'll travel for about a month first, then."

After I finish my month-long tasks, I'll go to the Abyss and go on a rampage.

Although Chen Luo had never seen the monsters in the Abyss Channels before, his intuition told him that those things might drop raw stones.

As he listened to Yun Xia's advice on improving his strength, Chen Luo couldn't help but glance at the over 1800 raw stones on his raw stone interface.

1600 consciousness would be enough for 10 draws, but Chen Luo wasn't sure if these 10 draws would bring him a breakthrough in strength.

On his own panel, raw stones were omnipotent.

Compared to the uncertainty of gacha draws, the Tai Xu Sword Qi brought by the Herrscher of Knowledge, which could be bought entirely for over 1000 raw stones, seemed much more practical.

But the temptation of gacha draws was irresistible.

Moreover, gacha draws could yield 5-star items and accessories.

Especially those talent accessories, each one was a qualitative leap.

Hmm, I should finish Kiana's quest first.

This way, with just a few hundred more raw stones, I'll have enough for 20 draws.

To be honest, if possible, Chen Luo wanted to save up 16,000 raw stones before drawing. That way, he was guaranteed at least one 5-star item.

"By the way, that blonde woman just now said I know three S-rank Talent Users. Besides you and Liu Wenxuan, who else is there?" Chen Luo suddenly asked.

Although Chen Luo already knew about Yun Lian'er, normally he shouldn't know about her yet.

"Who knows? Maybe she included herself. Don't ask me, how would I know about your affairs? Who knows where you've been flirting around?" Yun Xia said somewhat irritably.

"Here, Xia, let's play a game?" Chen Luo said to Yun Xia, eager to try.

Under the temptation of raw stones, Chen Luo still mustered his courage.

"Scram." Yun Xia simply spat out one word.

Chen Luo, you old rascal, I'm truly impressed.

Chen Luo was very disappointed that he couldn't take on commissions from Yun Xia, as the stronger the person, the higher the rewards for commissions of the same level.

Therefore, school was simply a waste of time.

School required being in school from 8 AM to 5 PM, and the maximum earnings were only a few dozen raw stones, and that was if he got incredibly lucky.

So, hurry up and let the holidays begin.

The last day before summer vacation was always the hardest to endure, and teachers surprisingly had a lot of tolerance on this day, as students were going on vacation and so were they.

After students said their goodbyes, they naturally went their separate ways, and it was the same for Chen Luo, Liu Wenxuan, and Yun Xia, as the holidays didn't mean they wouldn't see each other.

But...

"So this is what you call 'not attacking mere low-level Talent Users'?" Chen Luo gripped the Unsheathed Sword tightly, feeling a pang of heartache as he looked at the slightly deformed bicycle that had been smashed.

Chen Luo looked up at the blonde woman standing on the streetlight, his eyes filled with killing intent.

Do you know how expensive my bicycle is?

"I can't help it. It's too troublesome to apply to the country. It's easier to achieve my goal by killing you and throwing your head in front of Liu Wenxuan and the others," the blonde woman shrugged helplessly.

"But don't worry, I'm not interested in torturing the weak, so I'll give you a quick end," the blonde woman looked at Chen Luo with a condescending air.

"Wait, I have a question." Just as countless swords of light appeared behind her, Chen Luo suddenly raised his hand.

"Oh, are you trying to stall for time? Then I'll give you this chance. But as a friendly reminder, you are already within my Angel Domain. The Angel Domain isolates all detection. Even S-rank Talent Users with prophetic abilities cannot break through the Angel Domain's detection. No one will know that I killed you. After all, hatred needs time to brew before it becomes more delicious and insane."

Yvette licked her lips, revealing a sickly smile.

"Hmm, wait, you said... Angel Domain?" Chen Luo, who was about to activate his tavern to escape, suddenly paused.

"Yes, Angel Domain. You guessed right. My talent is Angel, a War Angel that grows through battle! Mortal, rejoice, for you shall be bathed in the glory of a true angel. Hahahaha!"

Behind the blonde woman, who was laughing maniacally, two perfect wings of light suddenly unfurled, looking magnificent and mesmerizing.

"Hmm, it is indeed fortunate. If I didn't know you were an angel, I might have really run away," Chen Luo nodded.

After all, exposing the tavern and letting the other party escape would not be good.

And at some point, an excited smile appeared on Chen Luo's face.

Hmm, killing an angel, I wonder how many raw stones it'll give.

Raw stones, my raw stones...

This is a real angel, this is called... hmm, sacrificing oneself for humanity? Or sacrificing oneself for righteousness?

The novel is going to be put on shelves before I know it, shelves in three weeks, not bad for me!

This is also the second book I've written, roughly, maybe, considered... out of the beginner stage?

Anyway, the author's note is finished.

Of course, I have backup manuscripts, no one would believe me if I said I didn't.

It'll be put on shelves tomorrow, I'll update with twelve thousand characters first to test the waters.

If the first chapter's subscription exceeds 3000 on the same day, I'll add 4000 characters.

If it exceeds 5000, I'll add another 4000 characters.

And so on...

So, how about contributing a first-day subscription?
