Chen Luo: Childe, What's 1000 Minus 7?

"To be honest, don't be angry. You refused, it's your own fault, it has nothing to do with me," Chen Luo said weakly.

That's exactly right. I was going to tell you another way to get there, but you thought I was unreliable, so you interrupted me. How can you blame me for that?

[Ding! Mission complete]

[Ding! Mission complete]

In an instant, Chen Luo received two rewards: one was the reward of quickly reaching the Golden House, and the other was the reward of seeing the Archon's Remains.

"..." However, after hearing the explanation, Lumine still wanted to strangle Chen Luo.

"I suspect you did this on purpose, but I have no proof." Lumine looked at Chen Luo suspiciously.

But Lumine wasn't sure why Chen Luo would do that.

After all, it doesn't benefit the other party to make them run errands.

"How could that be? I've been thinking of you with all my heart," Chen Luo said seriously.

If you don't run errands, am I supposed to go?

It's even more impossible if neither of them goes. With no one around, Zhongli's penniless nature, she could make a complete mess of everything.

The reason it's only a half-baked mess is because Zhongli can handle half of it, but only half.

"Alright. The person has been delivered. Goodbye." Chen Luo pushed Lumine forward slightly, letting her walk into the Golden House, and then, before Lumine could react, he swiftly closed the Bar Door.

They threw Paimon out along with him.

"???" Lumine looked at Chen Luo, who seemed to be in a great hurry to throw her out like he was rushing to a film set, with a puzzled expression.

Why are you in such a hurry?

"Wow, the ground is covered with Mora's Golden House, isn't this paradise?" Paimon exclaimed, looking at the decorations inside the Golden House.

Inside the Golden House, Mora was piled up like any other object.

"Since all the Mora in Teyvat was created here, wouldn't it be very difficult to detect if there were any extra or missing pieces?" Paimon was practically drooling.

Paimon had initially thought that the largest piece of information, the Shattered Snow hanging on the wall of the Ningguang Jade Chamber, would fetch a good price, but it turned out to be some incomprehensible information.

We lost a lot of money.

"Don't reach out, or you'll get caught. If it were that easy to take Mora, the Golden House would be in chaos by now, right?" Lumine complained.

"Oh, it was a trap. Thank goodness you reminded me. But even if I can't get a close look, is that okay? If I could, I'd like to lie down in it and sleep, using Mora as a blanket. My dreams would be even sweeter, hehehe..." Paimon smiled sheepishly.

Paimon isn't interested in money, but Paimon is very interested in things that money can buy.

After all, Paimon is a little foodie who can spend more than 300,000 Mora a month. Although Chen Luo's bar solved some of the problem, it's a pity that the bar is only open for 4 hours.

"Chen Luo has 1.5 billion Mora, you can discuss it with him then. Although the Archon's Remains is right here, the atmosphere here feels a bit strange." Lumine glanced back at the Archon's Remains behind her, then looked warily at the entire Golden House.

When Lumine was inspecting the entire Golden House, she found a Millelith lying on the ground next to a huge pillar.

Upon closer inspection, it appears that near the gate in the distance, there are similarly knocked-out Millelith lying around, their fates unknown.

"It feels like something's happened. Could it be that the Childe arrived before us? Are we too late?" Paimon said nervously.

"Could those Millelith be dead?"

"Don't worry, these Millelith aren't dead, they were just knocked unconscious. As for you, as guides, you've already completed your mission, so why are you still asking for trouble? And your entrance is as strange as ever." The Childe's voice rang out.

Paimon and Lumine immediately looked in the direction of the sound, where the Childe's figure gradually ascended the steps and appeared before them.

"If you were the Fatui, you might have received a generous reward from the Queen, but unfortunately, you are now just worthless obstacles."

"While I appreciate that you helped me find this hiding place without much trouble, don't bother trying to stop me now."

"By the way, where's Chen Luo? Weren't you inseparable since you came up here?" The Childe master looked around, seemingly trying to figure out where Chen Luo was hiding.

"He... left after bringing me here," Lumine said after a pause.

"Hmm, the Archon's Remains is finally within reach. It seems that obtaining the Gnosis is not far off, as long as I defeat you all." The Childe's gaze remained fixed on the Archon's Remains, which was floating up through a special device.

"So you really wanted to find the Gnosis in the Archon's Remains?" Although she had expected it, Lumine still sighed after learning about it.

You should have just stayed a good wallet.

"As the eleventh Harbinger of the Fatui, we must carry out the will of the Tsaritsa. If the Queen desires it, we will take it," the Childe said meticulously.

"Impossible! You could never take the Gnosis!" Lumine said firmly.

Because the Gnosis is in Chen Luo's hands!

Lumine finally understood why Chen Luo had the Gnosis. Could it be that Chen Luo had taken the heart of the Geo Archon through the Bar Door and then quickly left?

It feels very likely.

But then again, Chen Luo didn't seem like the kind of person who would steal.

In any case, the Childe will not be able to obtain the Gnosis.

"The problem isn't who will allow me, but who can stop me. Sigh, the time for deals and scheming is finally over. I really hated those petty tricks, but I could tolerate them for the sake of the Queen. But now I don't have to."

"Needless to say, it's time for the battle. Hmm, a delightful time." The Childe slowly revealed a smile.

"What happened in Mondstadt will not happen again! I will definitely stop you!" Lumine said firmly.

"Alright, let's try it then. I won't kill you, Traveler. I just want to enjoy the thrill of battle, so please play with me. You can't beat me, so you don't need to win. Just enjoy the battle as much as I do. You should understand what I mean, right?" The Childe clenched his fist.

I don't kill noobs!

That's roughly the idea.

"Heh, who said I was going to fight you?" Lumine drew her longsword, but her face was sneered.

"Oh, what do you mean? Are you planning to have Paimon fight me?" The Childe couldn't help but look at Paimon, who was floating next to Lumine.

"Huh? Do... do you want me to go? @*,*%☆$#" Paimon could barely speak.

Asking me to fight the Childe would be too cruel, wouldn't it?

"Ha, Paimon, do you know? Humans have limits."

"Huh?" Paimon glanced at Lumine, wondering what she was going to say.

"So sometimes you need to seek the strength of your friends." Lumine sneered, took out a card from somewhere, and then tore it up.

"Come out, Chen Luo! Fulfill my wish!" Lumine said as she tore up the Commission Cards.

"... Just hire outside help, why make it sound so nice?" Paimon said speechlessly.

[Ding! You have a new request!]

"So you've finally figured out how to use the Commission Cards, huh?" A voice suddenly rang out from behind the Childe.

"Who?" The Childe turned around and took a step back, looking warily behind him.

Then the Childe discovered that Chen Luo, whom he had been looking for, was standing very close to where he had been standing.

"I originally wanted to observe what the Childe's mask was, and see if I could sneak a chance to steal it." Chen Luo sighed and slowly flew to Lumine's side.

"I knew you hadn't left," Lumine said, pursing her lips.

"You've already posted the commission, so even if I leave, I'll still have to come back, right?"

[Beat him up!]: Let the Childe know what the harsh realities of society are like.

Reward: 200 Primogem

Difficulty: Two stars

"He's a Harbinger, after all. How can he only be worth 200 Primogem?" Chen Luo sighed inwardly.

The Harbinger are all powerful individuals who possess a portion of the Tsaritsa's power.

"Tell me, how do you want him to die?" Chen Luo pulled out the Heavenly Fire Judgment loaded with silver bullets from his backpack and aimed it at the Childe.

"!!!" The Childe, who was being targeted by the Heavenly Fire Judgment, instantly felt an unprecedented sense of deadly crisis.

"No, he just said he wouldn't kill me, so just give him a good beating," Lumine said.

"Hmm... This is much harder than killing him, since killing him only requires one bullet." Hearing Lumine's request and the written instructions, Chen Luo could only helplessly withdraw the Heavenly Fire Judgment.

Fortunately, the Childe wasn't a formidable opponent; he wasn't someone Chen Luo couldn't defeat without using his ultimate technique.

Fine, I'll just give him a good beating.

"Hey, Childe, do you know what 1000 - 7 equals?" Chen Luo took two steps forward and smiled at the Childe.

Seeing Chen Luo 'Chen Luo smile and hearing his strangely eerie question, the Childe couldn't help but take a step back.

"Well, don't be afraid. I'm not a good person either, just like you. How about this, Lumine doesn't want to fight you, and actually, I don't want to either. Beating people up is too much for me," Chen Luo said, waving his hand.

The main thing is that the things Chen Luo has are used to deal with most of the rather difficult life forms.

This includes, but is not limited to, Herrscher, the Seven Gods, Angels, S-rank Talent User, and so on.

Therefore, it would be difficult for Chen Luo control his strength and avoid killing the Childe in one blow.

Chen Luo, that guy, never knows how to use his strength.

Upon closer examination, neither the Insanely Modified Thermobaric Bomb, nor the Modified Fireball Technique, nor those Divine Key with the ability to kill in one hit, are suitable to deal with the Childe.

The power of Heavenly Fire's self-destruction is really a bit too much, and it also drains your own health. The Seven Thunders of Judgment's sniper rifle mode can turn a person into atoms with one shot, which is more than just a beating...

Although Chen Luo could easily beat up his opponent if he were to throw a punch or grab a weapon, given his mastery of Melee Grandmaster and Cold Weapon Grandmaster, Chen Luo felt it was necessary to maintain his mage persona.

In this way, if anyone thinks Chen Luo is a mage, that person will suffer a terrible fate.

So...

"How about this, let's play a card-drawing game. I have 5 cards here, you can draw any one as your opponent. As long as you can withstand 10 minutes of attacks from your opponent without dying, we won't disturb your journey to obtain the Gnosis, nor will we make things difficult for you. How about it?" Chen Luo asked the Childe in a friendly manner.

"Are you... underestimating me?" The Childe squinted at Chen Luo.

It was as if, in Chen Luo's eyes, he was just a weakling.

"No, no, no, you might have misunderstood. If it were me a month ago, you could take on 100 of me without any problem. Besides, I value harmony above all else, so I don't underestimate anyone," Chen Luo said sincerely.

Just a month ago, Chen Luo was an ordinary high school student.

The reason Chen Luo is now confident that he can easily deal with the Childe is mainly because Chen Luo has a lot of things to offer.

Moreover, there are a lot of things targeting the Childe.

Or rather, it's not that Chen Luo is praising someone; Chen Luo is targeting everyone who uses the Vision.

Because of Chen Luo's Elemental Eye, he is naturally superior to them, giving them an absolute disadvantage in the use of elemental power.

If it comes to close combat ability, Chen Luo felt that the Herrscher of Knowledge's Melee Grandmaster and Cold Weapon Grandmaster could easily defeat Tartaglia.

Of course, physical strength must also be considered in close combat, but on the first day after purchasing the Infinite Serpent, Chen Luo temporarily possessed the power to knock down a dragon. After yesterday's purification and baptism in the Demon Realm, although his strength may not be comparable to the Herrscher of Knowledge, he can still easily defeat Dalaria.

"Then... what if I say I don't want to?" Two short blades made of water suddenly appeared in Tartaglia's hand.

"Then you can die." Chen Luo's Heavenly Fire Judgment appeared instantly in his hand, and the silver bullet was already loaded. If the other party had been a little more forceful, the entire Golden House might have been buried with the Childe.

Sensing the extreme danger emanating from the gun, the Childe slowly moved his feet.

But as soon as Tartaglia moved, he felt a sharp pain in his ankle.

The Childe slowly lowered his head and saw a thread that had torn his boot and was stained with his blood. The thread slowly became visible in the reflection of the blood.

The Childe's heart stirred, and some water vapor began to emanate from around his body.

It was through this moisture that the Childe realized that he was surrounded by these gleaming, cold threads. Apart from his hands and head, any movement would result in being cut by the sharp threads.

Oh no, now the position of my hands is also restricted by the suddenly appearing silk threads.

When were these silk threads laid out?

"... You might not believe it, but I love playing games, especially gacha games," the Childe said with a smile.

The Childe is a battle maniac, but that doesn't mean Childe doesn't know who he can mess with and who he can't.

The Childe enjoys fighting, but he doesn't like courting death.

"Hey, wouldn't it have been better if you had said so earlier? You even made me use my consciousness and the power of control at the same time. It's definitely better to keep things peaceful." Chen Luo nodded in satisfaction, then took out a bell from his backpack and shook it gently.

"Ring ring..."

As the bell rang, five illusory cards slowly appeared in front of Chen Luo.

The Soul Summoning Bell makes its first appearance.
