It seems that from now on, factions won't just be friends and enemies, but also the dead.

Chen Luo thought this as he directly summoned the bar and walked straight into it from the living room.

Upon entering, Chen Luo looked at Yvette's remains in his backpack and fell into deep thought.

What should he do with this thing?

If he simply wanted to destroy the evidence, it would be very easy. He could just throw it away tomorrow when he went to the Honkai world.

But Chen Luo felt that since they were S-rank talented individuals, their bodies should also be very precious.

After all, they were S-rank talented individuals.

It was a shame his talent panel didn't accept corpses, otherwise, selling it directly to the talent panel would be more convenient.

If he were to sell it to Mobius, Mobius would likely be very interested, but Chen Luo feared it might cause some unforeseen trouble.

After all, this was an angel. Even though she was dead now, who knew what strange things Mobius could extract from her body.

If Mobius actually managed to create something, then... it would be hard to say whether the Herrscher of the End could defeat the previous civilization.

From the price of the Herrscher of Knowledge Core, it could be seen that the Herrscher of Knowledge Core and the Gnosis had the same price, and it was also the same price as a typical S-rank talent.

But the problem was that Herrscher authority and cores had limits. Yvette's talent was priced 2000 raw stones higher than the Herrscher core, and it even had the potential to break through the ranks.

Even if the Herrscher of the End's authority was much stronger than the Herrscher of Knowledge, it was still uncertain if she could compare to an SS-rank talent.

After all, no matter how powerful she was, she was still just a Herrscher.

If the Honkai world of the previous civilization were to become filled with flying angels...

Then defeating Honkai would truly not be impossible, but this would also cause significant changes to Theresa and the others' world.

Chen Luo shook his head, casting the crazy thought out of his mind.

Chen Luo was willing to change tragedies, provided it wasn't at the cost of one world.

If the past were truly changed, the future would inevitably undergo corresponding changes.

"I'll just keep this corpse in my backpack. It's huge anyway," Chen Luo muttered to himself.

Then, Chen Luo's gaze shifted to the last item Yvette left behind—the storage ring that could definitely be called priceless.

Storage rings were inherently extremely expensive, and with the good items she had placed inside, the price of the storage ring would be pushed up even further.

So Chen Luo decided...

[Sale successful, you have obtained 1524 raw stones.]

Chen Luo decided to sell it to the talent panel.

It was hilarious. Taking such an item out would be like courting death. And although the items inside were indeed precious, Chen Luo didn't dare to use them at all.

The other party had mentioned during their chat that the war domain could prevent divination-type talented individuals from probing, which meant that such talented individuals did exist in the world.

What if he used those items and was found by a divination-type talented individual?

Chen Luo was self-aware of his current stage of development.

Especially after seeing the introduction of the storage ring on the other party's panel, Chen Luo wanted it even less.

[Angel Ring]: A storage ring with a huge storage space, but its more important function is to monitor the owner's vital signs.

No wonder she was so quick to give away items; she was trying to trick him.

It was just that the talent panel's half-price buyback was a bit of a rip-off.

"Sigh, you really never know whether an accident or a 10-pull will come first."

Chen Luo had originally planned to save up for two 10-pulls, but he didn't expect that just the ring and the items inside would be worth one 10-pull.

This Yvette was truly a bringer of wealth.

Robbing and killing was indeed the fastest way to make money.

After working hard for a week, he had saved 1830 raw stones.

By killing Yvette, he obtained 3124 raw stones.

Life was truly unpredictable...

Chen Luo looked at the raw stone interface, the 4954 raw stones making him fall into thought.

Then Chen Luo reached out towards the talent panel, and when he withdrew his hand, something shiny appeared in it.

"One raw stone can produce one gem, so what about 4954 raw stones?" Chen Luo muttered.

And in the next moment, Chen Luo understood.

As Chen Luo's thoughts raced, the space where his talent panel was located seemed to develop a huge hole, and countless gems flowed out, instantly covering the entire ground.

"Ah... raw stones." Chen Luo lay down in the pile of gems, a happy smile on his face.

Chen Luo suspected that even if these raw stones weren't used for gacha, just producing one raw stone and selling it would fetch a good price.

After all, it really looked like a perfect, strangely shaped, yet completely natural gemstone.

"Wow, what are you doing?" The Herrscher of Knowledge pushed the door open and saw Chen Luo lying on a pile of sparkling gemstones, pretending to be dead.

When the Herrscher of Knowledge opened the door, some of the gemstones piled at the entrance even spilled out. Chen Luo immediately sat up, and with a thought, all the gemstones returned to his talent panel.

"Cough, cough, nothing. Why are you at the bar?" Chen Luo said, coughing twice.

"My right eyelid suddenly twitched. I had a feeling you might be in some kind of danger, so I rushed back to check. I saw your bicycle parked outside, but you weren't there, so I came into the bar to take a look. It seems I was mistaken." The Herrscher of Knowledge rubbed her temples as she spoke.

"Eating too much at once really isn't a good thing," the Herrscher of Knowledge grumbled.

"No, you weren't mistaken at all. I did encounter a crisis just now, but I resolved it. I also took down an S-rank talent user in the process." Chen Luo said as he threw out the opponent's corpse.

It was unclear if it was due to the residual angelic power after the opponent's death, but the fatal wound on their neck was slowly healing after being taken out.

However, it was certain that the opponent was truly dead.

Of course, what Chen Luo was more concerned about was the peculiar connection between him and the Herrscher of Knowledge. Could this also be a special connection after becoming family? Similar to telepathy between twins?

"An S-rank talent user? You can defeat an S-rank talent user?" The Herrscher of Knowledge found it hard to believe.

If you say Chen Luo is strong, the Herrscher of Knowledge wouldn't deny it, but the current Chen Luo wasn't even a match for her with one hand.

In the context of the Honkai world, an S-rank talent user was equivalent to a Herrscher, at least in terms of potential.

In the Herrscher of Knowledge's opinion, the S-rank talent users in this world, having just awakened their talents, shouldn't be as strong as newly formed Herrschers.

After all, obtaining Herrscher authority was instantaneous, but talents still needed time to grow, even though they grew very quickly.

However, the most outstanding aspect of the talent users in this world was their potential for growth, the ability to break through to become SS-rank talent users.

"How did you manage to defeat him? Looking at his corpse, I can feel that he was definitely a strong individual in life." Although the facts were laid out before her, the Herrscher of Knowledge was extremely curious about the reason.

"If the opponent was an S-rank talent user with a different talent, I would have had to run and find you to deal with her. But the problem is, she was an angel."

"So what if she's an angel? Angels are also very strong... emmm, that Little Evil God Flying Kick?"

"It's not the Little Evil God Flying Kick, it's the Little Evil God Flying Kick," Chen Luo corrected.

Since Chen Luo had already experimented with the Little Evil God Flying Kick, the best target was naturally the Herrscher of Knowledge.

Therefore, the Herrscher of Knowledge had a deep understanding of its power.

A genuine Little Evil God Flying Kick.

"That's truly pathetic," the Herrscher of Knowledge quipped.

A strong individual with the same potential as herself had died by a Little Evil God Flying Kick.

They probably died with their eyes wide open.

"How many raw stones did you get for killing an S-rank expert?" Little Shi asked.

"1000, but her equipment was more expensive, selling for 1500," Chen Luo explained simply.

"So cheap? You only give this many raw stones for an S-rank expert? Who are you trying to fool?" Little Shi said indignantly.

Do you know how difficult it is to kill a Herrscher-level being? After finally killing a Herrscher, you only give this many raw stones?

"My talent is inherently more inclined towards harvesting wishes and completing commissions. Perhaps because of that, the raw stones obtained from killing are fewer," Chen Luo shrugged helplessly.

"Alright, since you're fine, I'm going to get something to eat. I've pretty much recovered to my previous level, but I feel like I can still eat more, as if my capacity has increased."

After seeing that Chen Luo was indeed out of danger, Little Shi said goodbye and left.

"Are you still eating dinner then?"

"Of course, I am. Are spiritual sustenance and physical sustenance the same thing?" Little Shi rolled her eyes at Chen Luo.

After seeing her leave, Chen Luo looked at the raw stone interface again.

"I have enough for 30 draws now. Should I try drawing one to test the waters?" Chen Luo felt tempted seeing the huge amount of over 4000 raw stones.

"No, no, I need to save up for 100 draws. After saving up for 100 draws, I'll see if there's anything good," Chen Luo's rationality stopped him.

"It's like playing Genshin Impact. You can't just draw as soon as you get raw stones. You won't get anything good that way. After all, the pity system is good in some ways and bad in others," Chen Luo suppressed his urge to draw.

[Ding! Detected that the raw stone reserves are sufficient, thus activating a limited-time event. The first 10-pull within the event period will be discounted by 0.1%.]

A prompt suddenly sounded from the talent panel.

"That's hilarious. A 0.1% discount only saves 16 raw stones. Who would be unable to save raw stones for a discount of 16 raw stones?" Chen Luo let out a contemptuous smile.

Yes, it's me. It's me who couldn't save raw stones for a discount of 16 raw stones.

Seeing his hand uncontrollably move towards the ten-pull, Chen Luo looked desperate.

Come on, that's 16 raw stones! That's more than snatching lollipops from three little girls. Who can resist that?

"Damn it!" Seeing a sky full of blue clouds and a purple light, Chen Luo was already in despair before seeing anything else.

This trash talent panel betrayed me!

However, Chen Luo was mentally prepared. After all, how could he get a golden five-star item with a guaranteed pity of 100 pulls on his first 10-pull?

Oh, the last 10-pull doesn't count. That was the beginner's bonus of a guaranteed gold on the first 10-pull.

Five-star: None

Four-star: Pet Egg (Cannot be hatched)

Three-star: Net of All Directions ×5, Small-Area Person-Seeking Talisman

Two-star: High-Speed Kart

One-star: Diamond Ring, Decoy Mine (10)

"Damn it! Why did I get so many Nets of All Directions?"

This Net of All Directions, each one counted as a lottery item, and Chen Luo directly received five of them.

Chen Luo couldn't quite understand why he was getting a cluster of these useless things.

Net of All Directions (Advanced Version): Can be used to capture and subdue some creatures that have gained sentience but are not strong.

As for the only four-star item, the Pet Egg...

Pet Egg (Armed Doll Limited Edition): Can hatch an armed doll, but requires the injection of soul, personality, and consciousness fragments; otherwise, it cannot be hatched.

What's the use of this thing if it can't be hatched?

What, do I need to stuff a soul into it before it can be used?

Wait, could the Herrscher of Knowledge do it?

Although Chen Luo's thoughts were wandering, after his right eyelid twitched several times, he happily abandoned this idea, as it might lead to death.

"I feel like this Pet Egg could be used by Klein. Isn't Klein about to die? No, wait, Mobius seems to have the ability to create artificial life forms, so in that case, I don't need to bother myself..."
