A First Experience with Fire Moth: None

"Okay, I know you want to see." Seeing the other person's suddenly wavering eyes, Chen Luo understood what was going on, and then took out a bottle from his backpack.

Before waking Kato Megumi, Chen Luo touched her hand. Chen Luo didn't mean to take advantage of her; Chen Luo just wanted to be friends with her.

Although the other party hadn't said a word, at least in Chen Luo's perception, the other party and he were getting a discount of up to 76%.

The fact that the 20 points of goodwill given as a reward indicate that the other person seems to have regained their sense of my presence, is quite gratifying.

So I'm quite grateful to Chen Luo, but not completely grateful.

Otherwise, the discount wouldn't be only 76%.

Chen Luo took out the crystal-clear bottle from his backpack, and inside the bottle, a crystal was floating quietly.

This crystal looks remarkably similar to Misaka Mikoto's Esper Crystal.

That's right, because this shell is the Misaka Mikoto's Esper Crystal.

After stripping away the other party's talent, Chen Luo didn't know where to put it. In the end, he used the Void Archive ability to create a shell for an Esper Crystal and then put it inside.

And you know what? It actually works really well.

The key is that the shell, which is just an Esper Crystal, is really cheap.

When the crystal appeared before Saint Megumi's eyes, Saint Megumi gaze was immediately drawn to it.

Saint Megumi always felt that this crystal had a strange attraction to him, making his gaze involuntarily focus on it.

"This bottle..." Raven wasn't interested in that talent or cluster crystal, but it paused for a moment when Raven saw the bottle.

"You want to ask why this thing looks so much like a wine bottle? Well, that's right, it's the bottle that holds the Void Wine." Seeing Raven's reaction, Chen Luo knew that the other party seemed to have recognized something, so he said.

"Besides the wine itself being magical, the bottle of the Void Wine is also magical, possessing a remarkably strong insulating function, making it an excellent container for preserving items. Since this talent and the shell of the Esper Crystal have just fused, although the effect is good now, it doesn't guarantee the future effect, so it needs to be stored away for observation," Chen Luo explained.

The Void Wine is a treasure.

That's why Chen Luo never gives the bottle to others when he sells wine, and of course, people who want to drink don't care where the bottle goes.

"Why do I feel so empty inside when I see this crystal?" Kato Megumi finally spoke for the first time since the surgery.

He immediately began by questioning Chen Luo.

"This is because this characteristic has been with you all along, and has been tainted by a part of your soul, so you have this feeling. It will get better after a while."

"Is that so? Do I now have the presence of a normal person?" Kato Megumi asked.

"Of course, you're an ordinary person now. The disappearance of this characteristic from you proves that you're no longer special, so do you feel a sense of loss?"

"A little." Kato Megumi nodded.

"After I restore you to normal according to the contract, this trait you possess will belong to me. Of course, if you really want to go back... that's not impossible." Chen Luo paused for a moment before saying.

If the other party really wants to go back, although Chen Luo's efforts will seem to have been in vain, Chen Luo will have gained the Primogem.

Moreover, if the other party wants to go there, a request will inevitably be made, so Chen Luo will not lose out.

However, Chen Luo originally intended to give this thing to Xiao Ke'er. Since her talent is to control her presence, is it possible for her talent to evolve after consuming the original version?

Of course, don't even think about S-rank Talent for now.

S-rank Talent is a hurdle. If you only control your presence, you might only be able to become A-rank Talent. If you want to regress to S-rank Talent, you must at least evolve your control of presence into control of [existence].

However, even if it can't be upgraded to S-rank Talent, the opponent's abilities should at least be stronger, not weaker.

As for the possibility that Xiao Ke might explode due to acclimatization issues, well, he can just be resurrected from the dead. After all, he can try out the ability he just acquired.

As long as it doesn't involve the soul, you can boldly experiment. But if it does involve the soul, you must think twice before acting. If the soul is unharmed, resurrection isn't expensive; but if the soul is damaged, the price is extremely high.

"No. It's unnecessary." Saint Megumi immediately rejected Chen Luo's suggestion twice.

Looking at this special crystal, Kato Megumi felt a little empty; it was merely a primal reaction of her soul.

Although this extremely low profile made Kato Megumi slightly different from ordinary people, Kato Megumi never felt that this situation brought her any benefits.

In terms of convenience, perhaps not being criticized for being late is convenient, but there are many more troubles in life.

Even though Kato Megumi is calm and rational, she still wants to make friends normally and live a normal life.

"Have you thought this through? This is your only chance. If you don't want it, I'll give it to someone else," Chen Luo said.

"Would anyone else need something like this?" Kato Megumi asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Of course there is. Our world is a magical world. I have a friend who has the ability to Control Presence. She might need this."

"Of course, if you still want to be different in another way in the future, you can come to me. Although I may give this away later, I can give you another ability as a favor."

"For example?" Students are always curious about Super Strength things.

"Electromagnetic Control." After saying that, Chen Luo took out a real ability crystal.

However, this ability crystal is not at level 5, but at level 3.

Because the degree of weakening is quite high, the cost of copying it is also quite low.

If a permanent LV5 Esper Crystal requires 300 Honkai Crystal, a permanent LV4 Superpower Crystal requires 100, while a permanent LV3 Esper Crystal only requires 20 Honkai Crystal.

What kind of chasm is this?

The gap is quite large.

But upon closer examination, according to calculations, Accelerator needs to kill 128 Railgun to advance to LV6, but since he can't gather 128 Railgun, he can gather 20,000 Railgun instead.

That is to say, 128 Railgun are equivalent to 20,000 Railgun.

In other words, one LV5 is approximately equal to 170 LV2~LV3.

Thinking about it carefully, it makes perfect sense.

That's perfectly normal.

This is just a daily insult.

"With it, you might not be able to kill gods and Buddhas in your world, but you can definitely teach some thugs a lesson and become a heroine. In critical moments, you can also transform into a super hacker and roam the ocean of the internet."

No matter how you look at it, this Electromagnetic Control is much stronger than that physical presence...

"What do I have to give up if I want it? I don't have any other qualities left," Kato Megumi asked.

Kato Megumi gradually realized that Chen Luo didn't seem to be some kind of devil who coveted souls; he seemed like a good person.

"Of course, you have to build a good relationship with me. According to the contract, I can get the trait you don't want without spending anything. So if you want the crystal I have, you have to build a good relationship with me," Chen Luo said matter-of-factly.

"How can I build a good relationship with you?"

"I just come to the bar often, what else could it be?" This time, Chen Luo was even more matter-of-fact.

Of course they're going to give me Primogem. It wouldn't be right to get something for free without Primogem.

Anyway, Chen Luo has already given Kato Megumi a way to acquire abnormal abilities, so now it's up to her to work hard.

Chen Luo's demands on her were not high; Chen Luo would give her 200 Primogem as long as she contributed them.

From a purely rational perspective, even if the other party only orders one dinner a day, 20 days would be enough.

"..." Upon hearing Chen Luo's account, Kato Megumi's eyes lit up.

Although every famous hero may say they want to live an ordinary life, which ordinary person hasn't dreamed of becoming a hero?

Ask yourself honestly, if an opportunity to become a master of Electromagnetic Control were presented to you, wouldn't you want it?

[How to Raise a Boring Girlfriend]: Ms. Kato Megumi wants to become different, for example... becoming Electromagnetic Control ability user.

Reward: 100 Primogem + 10 points of affection with Kato Megumi

Difficulty: Two stars

Wow, is it really that unique?

This isn't how to raise a random heroine, it's how to raise a random goddess!

That's outrageous!

It's understandable that the Primogem reward for this quest isn't as high as the previous one, since one was a long-held idea and the other was just a spur-of-the-moment decision. How can they be the same?

However, if it were someone with stronger abilities who posted the same kind of wish, Chen Luo felt that he could easily earn at least 500 Primogem this time.

"Logically speaking, if you want to get along with me, you should come to the bar often. But you're different. We One Sight Like Old Friends, so this is for you." Chen Luo tossed the Esper Crystal to the other person.

"Huh?" Kato Megumi was taken aback.

Happiness came so suddenly!

"But you should also remember to come to the bar often. This bar may not have much else, but it has plenty of opportunities," Chen Luo said.

"Ah, yes, I understand." Kato Megumi nodded.

From a generally rational perspective, although this is 100 less than Chen Luo's expected 200 Primogem, selling 20 Honkai Crystal for 100 Primogem is a bit of a loss. However, the stronger the other party, the more benefits Chen Luo will gain in the future. After all, the stronger the person, the more desires they have. So this is not a losing deal.

"How do you use this thing?" Kato Megumi couldn't help but ask.

"Just crush it. Come on, let me teach you..." Chen Luo enthusiastically began to teach him step by step.

[Ding! Mission complete]

Seeing that the other party had become a user of Electromagnetic Control, Chen Luo nodded in satisfaction.

It seems that the weakened Esper Crystal created through the Void Archive has indeed been effective.

Seeing that the other party had started experimenting with the ability in the bar and found it very novel, Chen Luo felt relieved and sent the characteristic of weak presence that he had obtained from Kato Megumi to Xiao Ke'er through the Collective Network.

"Boss, what's this? I have this strange attraction to me."

[The characteristic of having a weak presence, like that of Kato Megumi, is also a conceptual manifestation of your ability. Although it's not much, it should be useful to you.]

"Hey boss, where did you get this?"

[Of course, it was obtained from Kato Megumi.]

[???]

Don't be surprised; such amazing things do happen in the world.

Does that mean Kato Megumi has lost this ability?

"You're worried about that? Don't worry, I gave them another ability, and when I cut off this trait, I also left a seed inside. If they really want to regain it, they might be able to use that seed. But it seems like they don't really want this ability."

Thank you, boss! You'll always be my god!

Alright, stop flattering me. Just keep a close eye on my house, and let me know if anyone comes.

[Yes, boss!]

Chen Luo didn't tell Kato Megumi about the seed, but if she really wanted to recover, Chen Luo could definitely help her.

But now it seems she's more interested in the new Electromagnetic Control abilities.

"Boss."

"Hmm? What's wrong, Zhongli? Is there something you need?" After finishing his instructions with Xiao Ke'er, Chen Luo noticed that Zhongli had somehow appeared in front of the bar.

"I heard from Ying that you can deal with the resentment of demons and gods, then... can you deal with karmic obstacles?" Zhongli asked.

Chapter 392 The Fire Moth's First Experience: None

"Cousin, cousin, are we going to find those three S-rank Talent User today?"

"Hmm..."

"Cousin, it's already 5 a. m., time to get up. I can teach you a breathing technique that allows you to absorb the purple energy of the sunrise and strengthen your body."

"Hmm..."

"Cousin, cousin, morning is for sword practice, you can't keep slacking off."

"Ugh, you're so annoying! I only slept for four hours!" Chen Luo suddenly threw off the covers and yelled at Su Yuan was sitting on her Flying Sword and knocking on her window.

"It's only 5 o'clock! Only 5 o'clock! I didn't go to sleep until 1 o'clock yesterday... I didn't go to sleep until 1 o'clock today. Why did you wake me up so early? What's wrong? If you don't give me a perfect explanation, you can eat dirt today!"

Chen Luo had already tried burying his head in the blanket, but Chen Luo really didn't expect the other party to have a method similar to telepathic communication, so they kept trying to wake Chen Luo up and bothered him with telepathic communication.

This really annoyed Chen Luo to no end.

"Okay, I'm calling you to get up." Su Yuan gently flicked her finger, and a wisp of spiritual energy materialized in Chen Luo 'Chen Luo room, then turned on the window switch.

As the window opened, the cool morning breeze blew in, and Su Yuan jumped directly in from outside the window.
