The Gluttonous Dan Zhu and Cang Xuan?

Why?

"Because you know too much."

"Huh? Is that a reason? Why don't you just have me sign a contract to keep the secret?" The Book of Cang Xuan's way of thinking was quite sharp.

"Uh... well, look, Sirin used to be my body pillow, Xiao You used to be my body pillow, so you..." Chen Luo hesitated.

"Huh? Are you some kind of Puppet Enthusiast pervert?" Book of Cang Xuan immediately adopted a boxing stance.

I'll beat you to death with a fist the size of a sandbag.

"Are you kidding? I'm a puppeteer, you know. If I don't control puppets, am I supposed to control you?"

"But I am a puppet."

"How about this, if you're willing to come back, I'll take you to see Cang Xuan and Danzhu, okay?" Hearing Book of Cang Xuan make so much sense, Chen Luo didn't know how to refute them for a moment, so he offered another condition.

"Emmm..." Book of Cang Xuan looked up at the sky and began to contemplate life.

The Book of Cang Xuan knew that Chen Luo's bar was connected to the Previous Era, but it didn't expect Chen Luo to bring this up as a condition.

That's absolutely despicable.

"Alright, I promise you." In the end, Book of Cang Xuan nodded somewhat reluctantly.

That's despicable!

"Alright, don't feel so frustrated. At worst, I'll open a portal to the Honkai World for you. You can go see the old relic anytime. Besides, those 100 copies of the lab safety rules weren't for me to copy, they were for Danzhu to copy. Does that make you feel better?"

"No, I don't feel comfortable," Book of Cang Xuan said coldly.

That's despicable!

"Just copy the lab safety rules 100 times according to Danzhu's handwriting. I've already given you the template, so take your time copying it. Good luck," Chen Luo encouraged, patting Book of Cang Xuan on the shoulder.

"Tch." Book of Cang Xuan curled his lip in displeasure.

"Sigh, try to look on the bright side. If you leave my house, you won't have that kind of delicious food that you can call on anytime, right? What can Fu Hua give you? Spring Immortality? Steamed buns? Or compressed biscuits?"

"..." Book of Cang Xuan's gaze began to waver for a moment.

Having said all he wanted to say, Chen Luo walked to the other side.

When Yun Xia opened her eyes again, she found herself on a vast ocean.

"Is this what they call the War Domain? Why does that name sound so familiar? And what did you mean when you said you were a puppeteer, Alo?"

When Yun Xia realized she was about to fall from the sea, a card immediately appeared in her hand. As the card disappeared, a pair of huge, semi-transparent wings suddenly appeared behind Yun Xia, allowing Yun Xia to fly above the sea.

[Fly] brand

"Puppet master means a profession, just like the blacksmith in Wenxuan. I also obtained a profession certificate, and that profession certificate is puppet master."

"As for why the War Domain sounds so familiar, it's because of the War Angel. The War Domain is the War Angel's ability, and after the War Angel was defeated, the War Domain naturally became mine, so you might find it a bit familiar."

"What star level is your Puppeteer profession certificate... Wait, you killed the War Angel War Angel, if I remember correctly, Yvette was the War Angel, right?" Yun Muxia was about to ask about the Puppeteer issue when she realized what Chen Luo's last sentence meant.

"Ah, yes, that's right, Yvette is the War Angel, and this War Domain is her trump card." Chen Luo nodded.

"And then you killed Yvette? Didn't you say you awakened your talent a week before summer vacation? When Yvette approached us, wasn't summer vacation just about to start? 7 days? You awakened your talent and killed Yvette in 7 days?" Yun Xia was completely stunned.

"I couldn't do anything about it. Who told her to provoke me first? After school, that bastard blocked my way home. I said I was going to kill her. How could I stand for that? But actually, I was going to run away until I heard it was Angel..." Now that he thinks about it, Chen Luo feels like he was incredibly lucky back then.

To be honest, with Yvette's abilities, Chen Luo might not even have been able to open the bar, but he was killed by Yvette for making unauthorized moves.

The gap in strength even made Chen Luo feel that owning a bar was completely useless.

But... well, Yvette is an angel, after all.

"What's the meaning?"

"What I mean is that although I couldn't beat other S-rank Talent User at the time, the angel was an exception. If I encountered other S-rank Talent User, I would almost certainly die, but not the angel. Only the angel was someone I had the ability to kill."

"Does your talent have some kind of restraining effect on angels?" Yun Xia seemed to have a sudden realization after hearing Chen Luo's words.

The Talent User are like this: due to the differences in various talents, there are indeed talents with counter attributes. However, Yun Xia has never seen one that can almost irrationally defeat the strong with the weak.

Oh well, Yun Xia has never even seen an SS-level talent.

Everyone has their own secrets, so I don't pry into them anymore.

"Oh, right, if you two are going to fight, remember to give me your phones first, I'll modify them for you." Chen Luo said, looking at Su Yuan, who was already eager to try.

"Uh, cousin, I don't have a cell phone yet," Su Yuan said pitifully.

"... I'll take you to buy a phone later, and we'll also buy a few outfits. Yun Xia, give me your phone, I'll modify it for you." Chen Luo almost forgot that he hadn't bought Su Yuan any daily necessities yet.

Su Yuan's clothes are mostly not suitable for wearing in front of ordinary people.

Amidst Yun Xia's bewildered gaze, Chen Luo took her phone and ran to the nearby Gu Yun Pavilion, which was now only half-finished, to fiddle with it.

"Boom!" Just as Chen Luo started fiddling with it, a huge blast of air blew Chen Luo away.

After regaining his footing, Chen Luo turned his head and saw a hundred-meter-long sword, and Yun Xia, who was punching the sword.

"..."

Yun Xia, are you sure you're a card magician?

Oh, she had the "Power" card...

"Why do all the Magus these days prefer close-quarters combat?" Chen Luo wondered, then ran a little further away.

"Wouldn't it be better to just quietly be a ranged damage dealer like me?"

As Chen Luo spoke, he inserted the silk thread directly into Yun Xia's phone.

As a mysterious force descended upon the phone, the phone in Chen Luo's hand suddenly began to vibrate restlessly. After a series of twists, the originally normal phone gradually began to deform, and finally, a small robot the size of a palm appeared in Chen Luo's hand.

The SS-rank Talent [Domination] power is no longer limited to controlling living beings such as Honkai Beasts and humans; any physical entity can be controlled as a puppet, including mobile phones.

Under Chen Luo's command, the little robot underwent a brief transformation before turning back into a mobile phone.

Each of Chen Luo's puppets receives a boost when it transforms back into a human puppet.

The enhancements received by the mobile phone doll are indeed related to improvements in the phone's materials, hardness, communication, and signal strength.

Of course, none of that matters. The most important thing is that the modified phone now has internet connectivity.

It's connected to what kind of network? It's connected to Chen Luo's Collective Network Domination Authority.

Chen Luo unlocked his phone without needing to enter a password, and when he flipped to the last page, he saw a strange icon.

Just like ordinary game software that uses its characters as logos, this software's cover features the Thousand-Man Herrscher.

The Thousand-Man Herrscher in the present civilization of Honkai Impact 3rd.

After opening the software, there is only one contact, Chen Luo.

After sending an emoji, Chen Luo could feel that one of the communication terminals in his Collective Network had sent him a message.

Simple, efficient, convenient, fast...

From now on, Mom won't have to worry about anyone not being able to contact Chen Luo anymore.

Furthermore, if anyone mocks him online in the future, Chen Luo can turn his phone into a small robot and give him a big slap in the face.

Although the little robot's strength is definitely not comparable to that of Talent User, it can still easily defeat an ordinary person. After all, it is fast, strong, and capable of delivering a fatal blow when the opponent jumps up.

Seeing that the machine, which had been transformed into a doll-like phone, could indeed connect to the internet, Chen Luo then turned his gaze to Yvette, the War Angel Yvette, in his backpack.

From a purely rational perspective, if Chen Luo can turn inanimate objects into puppets, then he can certainly turn corpses into puppets as well. Moreover, the corpses might even retain all of their original strength, or at least half of it.

But what Chen Luo needs is the complete Yvette, the Yvette with her memories.

"Sigh, my Doll Manufacturing skills aren't even at the master level yet. This is so hard for me. Why is my progress so slow?"

Chen Luo's Furniture Mastery has brought the puppeteer's skills to the proficiency level, but it is really difficult to break through from proficiency to master.

"However, if it's just about putting her soul back into her body and then resurrecting her, it seems a little easier, just like resurrecting Cecilia and the others."

The situations are similar, but not the same. One is a complete soul extracted using Soul Extractor, while the other is a soul that has not been extracted. The difficulty of processing these two is different.

"Originally, I wanted to turn her into a puppet directly using the Doll Manufacturing ability, but since the Domination Authority will grant a boost after being transformed into a puppet and can also revive the puppet at a cost, it seems more cost-effective to turn her into a puppet using the Domination Authority."

"Once the Domination Authority is upgraded to SS rank, as long as Yvette hasn't broken through the level, I can suppress her. Breaking through the level is a matter for the future."

"I'll ask Xiao Yuan later if there's any kind of Great Demon Transformation Technique or something like that, so Yvette can practice it."

"While [Explosive Soldier Kevin] is almost impossible, [Explosive Soldier Yvette] is very likely."

"Oh right, speaking of resurrecting Yvette, I sold Yvette's storage ring back then. Is it possible to get it back?" Chen Luo slapped his forehead and suddenly remembered this.

That storage ring is called the Angel Ring. It has an extremely large Storage Space, but it also has a tracking function.

Chen Luo sold 1524 Primogem at the time, and then did a Chen Luo -pull and got an Armed Puppet Pet Egg.

[Ding! Do you wish to redeem the pledged (Angel Ring)?]

As Chen Luo was thinking about this, the talent panel suddenly popped up.

"A mortgage?" Chen Luo raised an eyebrow.

How many Primogem?

[3048 Primogem]

"Well... alright, I won't say anything about it being a scam. At least I can buy it back."

Chen Luo had a pretty clear understanding of this matter. In fact, being able to sell things in the past was now seen as a real benefit for a Chen Luo.

Chen Luo has a lot of items now, but the talent panel is no longer available for sale.

Thinking about it carefully, this timeline seems to start after Chen Luo removed the Teleport Anchor...

In other words, once you have the ability to protect yourself, the newbie benefits will no longer be provided?

Back then, Chen Luo had less than 2,000 Primogem on his body; now, Chen Luo has more than 20,000 Primogem on his body.

It's like lending money now to the past, so it's not a big problem.

It was this price difference that made Chen Luo feel a little heartache.

"Now the amount of money I need to save has increased again. Sigh... I was originally thinking of trying to revive Yvette recently, but I'll let her stay dead until I've saved enough money." Chen Luo sighed.

Although the [Explosive Soldier Yvette] is quite tempting, let's give way to Six-star Item for now.

"Cousin, we're done fighting." Just 10 minutes after Chen Luo finished thinking, a voice came from behind him.

Chen Luo turned his head and saw Su Yuan flying towards him on her flying Flying Sword with a happy expression, along with Yun Xia, whom she was carrying in her hand.

"??? Xia, you lost so quickly?" Chen Luo asked in surprise.

Shouldn't two S-rank Talent User fight for a longer time, or become a close and evenly matched battle?

Chapter 404 The Greedy Danzhu and Cang Xuan??

"I've only been S-rank Talent User for two years. Ask your cousin how many years she's been S-rank Talent User!" Yun Xia said unhappily as she was being lifted up by the back of her collar.

"Besides, my cards haven't been fully converted into my own yet. I'll go all out when I convert those Clow Cards into Yun Xia Cards. It's taken me two years to convert only about 30 cards. The last 20 are tough nuts to crack," Yun Xia muttered under her breath.

Upon hearing Yun Xia's words, Chen Luo recalled a childhood anime series where Sakura actually needed to transform the Clow Cards into her own Sakura Cards later on, so that they would be her own cards.

Therefore, S-rank Talent User, like Herrscher, can obtain powerful strength from the beginning, but also have enough evolutionary potential.

"How many years has it been since I became S-rank Talent User? Let me think, it must have been at least 8 years..." Su Yuan said somewhat uncertainly.

"Eight years..."

Yun Xia felt that her loss was not unjust.

Every S-rank Talent User possesses immense potential. Unless one is born with a truly dominant talent, Talent User awakened at the same time are essentially evenly matched.

Su Yuan not only awakened her talent six years earlier than Yun Xia, but also received the best cultivation training.

In that case, it would be strange if Yun Xia could defeat Su Yuan.

In the 50 years before the emergence of spiritual practitioners, those with Talent User reigned supreme; after the appearance of spiritual practitioners, they became the most revered.

Aside from the fact that all the big shots have come out, no one can deny that cultivation itself is a good match for Talent User, and can achieve a synergistic effect greater than the sum of its parts.

"By the way, Xiao Yuan, among the cultivation techniques you've learned, are there any suicidal moves like the Great Demon Transformation Technique?"
