The Snake Charmer's "Flute"? Snake Charming?

Just kidding, Chen Luo is the Herrscher of Knowledge Chen Luo, how could he be deceived?

These two people aren't Chen Luo's biological mothers.

The first law of the Herrscher of Knowledge: Only a mother can successfully deceive the Herrscher of Knowledge.

"Now that we've said all that, if you two have any further questions, please feel free to ask, and I will answer them all. However, Paimon, you mustn't reveal what I just said. After all, what I just said was full of the power struggle between the Liyue Qixing and the Fatui." Ningguang said to Paimon.

"Huh?!" Paimon stared blankly at the pen he had just put down and the paper with a long passage of notes.

This can't be told out. Why didn't you say so earlier?

"Since it can't be spread, Paimon, just give these papers back to me. I'll treat you to Three-Colored Dumpling later as compensation."

"This... alright then." Paimon handed the paper and pen back to Chen Luo with a long face.

"Then, Miss Ningguang, since these words cannot be spread, may I ask about another matter?" Paimon looked at Ningguang expectantly.

"Please feel free to speak."

"I heard that guests who give a gift receive some benefits, and we get a share of that too?" Paimon asked expectantly, hoping to recoup some of his losses after suffering a huge loss earlier.

"Paimon, can't you say something else?" Lumine said, covering her forehead.

"Hehe, it's alright, I really like straightforward people. Ying and Paimon were quite helpful with the Rite of Descension, and Chen Luo even relayed the message from the Liyue Qixing to the immortals. How about this, the three of you can choose any two items you like from here. One for Ying and Paimon, and one for Chen Luo, how about that?"

"Okay, that's what I've been waiting for. I've already decided what I want: the piece of paper on that wall." Paimon, the little devil, pointed directly at the wall, the wall covered with Liyue's business secrets.

"???"

"Fire, don't look at me like that. Don't you understand? Even a piece of paper the size of a fingernail on this wall could sell for a fortune. If it weren't a whole torn piece, I can't even imagine how much Mora it would be worth!" Paimon tried to defend himself.

"Okay. What about you, Chen Luo?" Ningguang nodded and looked at Chen Luo.

Seeing Ningguang nod in agreement, Paimon immediately pulled Lumine over there to pick out paper cutouts.

"Emmm..."

You might not believe it, but out of the entire Jade Chamber, I only wanted two things.

One is Ningguang, and you are Jade Chamber.

After all, with Ningguang, everything Ningguang owned would belong to Chen Luo, and Chen Luo could sleep on Mora from now on.

You said you could create the Gnosis of Mora?

Does copying the Gnosis not require Honkai Crystal?

As for Jade Chamber, those who know, know.

Unfortunately, since it was a verbal agreement, Chen Luo dared not sign a Book of Contracts contract with the other party.

After all, making a verbal promise is one thing, but signing a contract is another.

However, without signing a contract, Ningguang and Jade Chamber would definitely not be able to do it without even having to ask.

"Then I want that book on your desk, [Liyue Customs and Culture: Welcoming the Gods]," Chen Luo said, pointing to Ningguang's desk.

"...Okay." Ningguang paused for a moment, then nodded.

After Chen Luo and Lumine left Jade Chamber, Ningguang summoned her secretary and said, "Go buy another copy of [Liyue Customs and Culture: Welcoming the Gods]."

"Yes, Ningguang." The secretary nodded and respectfully left the Jade Chamber.

"Chen Luo, does he... know about that matter?" Ningguang thought to herself, looking at the strange notebook on another desk.

Ningguang's expression was so complicated because although the book Chen Luo took was an officially released book, it was also a coded book used to decipher a secret code.

That strange notebook contains some strange sentence structures. By placing those sentence structures in the Liyue Chronicles and extracting the text according to the clues in the sentence structures, a sentence will be formed.

The Fatui wreak havoc in the Golden House.

It seems there are good people among the Fatui after all.

It would be more appropriate to say that the traitor came from within.

"Ah, I regret it!" Chen Luo said, looking at the Liyue Chronicles.

Chen Luo felt that he should have tried to make another request to Ningguang earlier, to see if Ningguang could give him Ningguang. He should have at least tried, even though it was basically impossible to succeed.

Chen Luo discovered that taking this local history book was utterly useless, except for leaving Ningguang completely bewildered and doubting herself.

Chen Luo suddenly realized that he seemed to have nothing to do.

I used to be busy every day, constantly running around for Primogem, but suddenly I have nothing to do and I really don't know what to do.

Although Chen Luo also wanted to go home and sleep until the end of time, Chen Luo knew that he would have to deal with the Vortex Archon again in a while.

Putting aside the question of whether there was a commission, Chen Luo felt that his Infinite Serpent should evolve significantly after consuming the Vortex Archon.

After all, they are all snakes, even snakes with multiple heads are still snakes.

Therefore, Chen Luo now quite hopes that the Childe can continue to cause trouble.

Compared to the mere Jade Chamber quest he might receive from Ningguang, Chen Luo still felt that the Vortex Demon God himself was far more valuable.

The key is that once this opportunity is missed, it may be gone forever.

After all, if Chen Luo were to unseal the Rock Spear and release the Demon God in the future, then Chen Luo would be the one to take the blame, but for now, it is Childe who is taking the blame.

And the one who will surely be scolded when he turns around is the Childe.

However, Chen Luo should be careful not to let the fight affect Liyue Harbor.

Why don't we drag this Vortex Archon into the War Domain and beat it up?

While Chen Luo was deep in thought, he suddenly felt that his Infinite Serpent been fully digested, so he subconsciously summoned it.

Looking at the Infinite Serpent, which stood behind him like a substitute, half-human and half-serpent, Chen Luo fell into deep thought.

This Snake Snake doesn't seem to have changed much.

However, the sub-entries of Infinite Serpent do specify the latest developments, including what aspects have grown.

For example, the evolved Infinite Serpent can not only shrink, but it can also actually grow larger.

Moreover, it's unclear who she learned it from, or if it was a gift from the demon realm, but the Infinite Serpent possesses the ability to corrode, making wounds harder to heal when it inflicts damage.

This ability works quite well with the toxicity of the Dragon Dvalin.

Furthermore, Infinite Serpent possesses soul-like attack abilities, meaning it can harm spirits.

Other aspects tend to focus on increased physical strength.

Or rather, that's the key point.

The four-star material is indeed terrifying. The five and a half tails of the Little Evil God, combined with the assimilation from the demon realm, greatly increased the physical strength of the Infinite Serpent. At the same time, it absorbed the Little Evil God's terrifying self-healing ability, making it almost immortal.

"I feel like it would be enough to just let the Infinite Serpent fight the Vortex Demon God directly. Of course, we'd also need to add some buffs," Chen Luo muttered.

The Vortex Archon was suppressed under the rock spear for so many years. Although his resentment grew day by day, his power was being consumed in the opposite way. It's impossible for the demon to become stronger the more it is suppressed, right?

The Vortex Archon that could be suppressed with a single rock spear is not necessarily that strong now. The fact that the opponent is not killed now is more about the impact of the Archon Residue after its death.

That would be fatal to an ordinary person.

"A major battle is imminent, so it's time to strengthen my forces. Let's see how my luck is." Chen Luo took a deep breath and looked at the random reward section in his backpack.

Before he knew it, Chen Luo had accumulated 11 more random rewards.

Chen Luo was very nervous about the upcoming battle against the Vortex Archon, so he decided to offer a few random rewards to cheer himself up.

[Ding! Item obtained (Spoon Demon)]

What appeared in front of Chen Luo was a spoon, an ordinary-looking spoon.

[Spoon Demon]: When using this item, you need to specify a target, which can be any living or non-living thing.

Effect: After use, it will summon an immortal demon that cannot be destroyed. The demon will attack the target with a spoon that deals almost 1 damage (true damage, ignores defense) (prioritizing the head) until the target is killed.

(Can be interrupted at any time and can be reused)

"... It's a long story." Chen Luo gave his assessment with a complicated expression.

If you want to say he's good, his attack power is 1, which is almost the same as 0.

If you're going to say he's bad, this thing is at least a regulated object, and who can stand being hit on the head with a spoon all day long?

It might come in handy at certain special times.

[Ding! Item obtained (Raiden Shogun Puppet Exchange Coupon · 1/4)]

"...Damn it, a stranger!" Upon seeing this, Chen Luo slammed his fist on the table in anger.

Rnm!

Last time it was a 1/2 voucher, this time it's a 1/4 voucher, will next time it be a 1/8 voucher?

Come on, if you're so capable, then do it! If you're so capable, then make a 1/1024 voucher.

Whoever backs down is a coward!

Chen Luo wanted to see what kind of broken doll was worth Chen Luo at least three random rewards to exchange for.

Rnm!

[Ding! Item obtained (Raiden Shogun Puppet Evolution Voucher)]

"... I'm sorry, I was wrong, please don't come again." Chen Luo immediately admitted defeat.

Is your Raiden Shogun puppet some kind of Little Elf? How can it evolve?

Evolved into Super Raiden Shogun puppet?

Another concern for Chen Luo is that the next item he might get is a Raiden Shogun puppet Super Evolution Ticket.

Don't come, don't come, the child will cry if you come again.

Waaaaah...

Chapter 360 The Snake Charmer's [Flute]? Snake Charming?

[Ding! Item obtained (Hilichurl Wooden Shield)]

Looking at the fourth item, Chen Luo exclaimed in surprise, "Huh? Hilichurl Wooden Shield? What's the use of this thing? Speaking of which, are random items really random?"

"Or is it that I've always gotten good items from random items in the past, giving me the illusion that all random items are bound to be high-quality?" Chen Luo stroked his chin, questioning his life choices.

Chen Luo has already opened four items. So far, none of these four items seem to be of much use.

[Hilichurl Wooden Shield]: Even gods would suffer under this shield!

Effect: Possesses both defensive and offensive stances.

Defensive Stance: When switching to the defensive stance, the shield will become the strongest shield, capable of blocking everything, even Immortal Blade strike, and even the invisible attack of poison gas (but it must not be contaminated by fire elements or flames, otherwise ordinary flames may burn the shield away).

Attack Stance: When switching to attack stance, you can force enemies to fly away, but you will lose your defensive capabilities and become vulnerable to attacks.

Note: This shield will fit the user's body size. If the shield is damaged, it can be reconstituted using Dendro Element or a Grass Slime, but it can only be reconstituted once every half hour.

"Uh... did I jump to conclusions about this thing too early?" Chen Luo suddenly felt a pang of shame.

Indeed, you can't judge a book by its cover.

That shield is awesome!

If you can't win, just move your shield forward.

Of course, it is important to note that you must never come into contact with fire elements.

It's absurd that even a small flame could burn this shield.

[Ding! Item obtained (Erhu)]

"To be honest, I misjudged it just now, but this erhu is definitely useless, right?" Chen Luo said uncertainly.

[Erhu]: Erhu at full health, play with low HP. (Includes master-level erhu skills)

Effect:
