Their Commission Rewards Aren't Right

Especially when Otto, that scummy guy who seemed to control everything, was sitting behind the scenes, enjoying the drama he created, the Herrscher of Knowledge jumped out and punched him.

"The sound of Otto's soul steel face creaking under my fist is truly wonderful. And since I know now that he has soul steel clones this time, he's going to suffer a great loss." The Herrscher of Knowledge chuckled maliciously.

After fusing with the Inner Demon Lure, the Herrscher of Knowledge felt her authority range expand further.

Trying to control Otto's consciousness with the Herrscher of Knowledge's authority was indeed troublesome. After all, he was someone who had lived for 500 years, and for one goal at that, making it difficult to change his consciousness.

However, Otto's negative emotions accumulated over these 500 years were like a mountain. With the help of the Inner Demon Lure, if they were detonated...

Otto might directly go to meet his childhood sweetheart.

"Don't you go and kill Otto directly," Chen Luo said, looking at the Herrscher of Knowledge with some concern.

"Don't worry about that. At most, I'll just beat him up, kill a few of his clones, and smash the Schicksal headquarters. I won't kill him," the Herrscher of Knowledge waved her hand.

"Then when are you planning to go?"

"Now," the Herrscher of Knowledge replied.

"So soon?"

"Yes, I can't wait to beat up Otto."

"I see, alright then. Anyway, I have the bar as a safe haven, so even if I encounter any big bosses, I can escape safely." Chen Luo felt very secure about his own safety.

"Of course, before I leave, I have a gift for you. I spent an entire night creating this." The Herrscher of Knowledge revealed a mysterious smile.

The Herrscher of Knowledge didn't go home to sleep last night. Instead, after her body had recovered, she continued to run around to prepare this gift.

"Ta-da! Little Shi!" Seeing Chen Luo's confused gaze, the Herrscher of Knowledge was very satisfied and then pulled out something doll-sized from who knows where.

"Little Shi?" Chen Luo looked at the small Herrscher of Knowledge, which was about the size of an armed puppet. To be honest, he was a bit bewildered.

"This is a clone ability. What do you think? Amazing, right? All Inner Demons have this ability to manifest myriad forms, as casting a wide net yields greater rewards. So, I spent an entire night creating this clone. With her accompanying you, she can help you identify where Honkai Beasts and Militants are. And within these 7 days, she possesses 1/10th of my main body's strength, which is enough to resolve most problems," the Herrscher of Knowledge said proudly.

"Come, crouch down," the Herrscher of Knowledge gestured to Chen Luo.

Although Chen Luo was confused, he still crouched down.

After Chen Luo crouched down, the Herrscher of Knowledge placed the Little Shi in her hand on top of Chen Luo's head.

"Excellent, perfect!" The Herrscher of Knowledge put her hands on her hips and looked at the Little Shi sitting on Chen Luo's head, seemingly very satisfied.

Chen Luo subconsciously touched Little Shi on his head and felt a real touch.

"It seems to be a real existence, but why doesn't it have any weight?" Chen Luo asked, confused.

"That's naturally to prevent it from affecting your combat," the Herrscher of Knowledge didn't speak, but the Little Shi sitting on Chen Luo's head said in a childish voice.

"What a cute voice." Chen Luo's eyes seemed to sparkle.

"Of course, I, the Herrscher of Knowledge, am the cutest. Daddy." Little Shi sat on Chen Luo's head with her hands on her hips, but as soon as she uttered the last two words, she immediately covered her mouth.

But covering her mouth was useless because Chen Luo had already heard it.

"Daddy?" Chen Luo looked at the Herrscher of Knowledge in surprise.

"Th-this, this... I don't know what's going on. Maybe it's the first time I've created a clone, so I'm not very skilled, and I don't know why those two words just popped out. Don't overthink it!" The Herrscher of Knowledge looked at Chen Luo with a blushing face.

The fact that her clone called Chen Luo "Daddy" was too much for the Herrscher of Knowledge.

Her clone was called Little Shi, she herself was called Xiao Shi, and now Little Shi called Chen Luo "Daddy," which would mean...

"Ah! Never mind, I'm leaving now." The Herrscher of Knowledge shook her head in annoyance and then disappeared.

The Herrscher of Knowledge naturally had her own way of traveling.

"Then why didn't you create another one?" Chen Luo asked the Little Shi on his head.

Although the Little Shi on his head was called Little Shi, she was actually the Herrscher of Knowledge herself, so asking her was the same as asking Xiao Shi.

"Because there wasn't enough time," Little Shi said indignantly.

The Herrscher of Knowledge had fully recovered from her injuries around 5 PM and then spent an entire night creating her first Inner Demon clone.

Although this clone seemed to have a slight problem, it was almost perfect in other aspects. Since there wasn't enough time, the Herrscher of Knowledge had to make do with it.

"So, if I call you Daddy next time, you're not allowed to answer, understood, Daddy."

"..." Chen Luo fell silent for a moment.

It was really hard not to respond.

However, the palm-sized sword that appeared above Chen Luo's head was very threatening. For the sake of his own safety, Chen Luo closed his mouth.

So, the Herrscher of Knowledge now only had 10% of her strength left, but even this 10% was enough to crush Chen Luo.

Thus, Chen Luo could only turn his grief into strength and continue to slaughter those poor Militants.

[Killed Militant, obtained 5 raw stones]

[Killed Militant, obtained 5 raw stones]

[Raw stone count has reached the limit during the event period. Subsequent raw stones obtained will be automatically converted into Crystals.]

"Huh? The limit is already reached?" Chen Luo was stunned for a moment.

Unbeknownst to him, Chen Luo had already killed 200 Militants. Because of this, he received 1000 raw stones. According to the event's explanation, any amount exceeding 1000 raw stones would be converted into the Honkai World's unique exchange currency – Crystals.

Chen Luo had only been in the Honkai World for less than an hour and had already earned 1000 raw stones. This almost made Chen Luo think the Honkai World was his lucky world.

He could only say that schools, as areas with high population density, had too many people (Militants).

Another reason was that Chen Luo's current harvesting speed was too fast.

The Divine Arrow Technique was also too powerful.

Therefore, Venti's strength was truly not to be underestimated.

Wind element, Vision, Divine Arrow Technique.

Chen Luo mused that he could be considered a minor Anemo Archon, right?

No, that wouldn't do. He couldn't become another Venti.

Always freeloading... no, that was the Geo Archon.

A drunkard who only knew how to sing all day... well, Venti was the Anemo Archon, so he wouldn't starve.

Chen Luo couldn't learn from him.

However, he heard that Venti earned less money now, mainly because he was new and his fame wasn't widespread enough yet.

In the future, Venti would probably earn more money, after all, Venti, the greatest bard in all of Teyvat, was no joke.

Meanwhile, Chen Luo's Honkai Energy Adaptation had reached 52.5%, a full 20% increase.

It was still a long and arduous journey to raise his Honkai Energy Adaptation to 200%.

Especially in other areas, which were not densely populated like Chiba Academy, finding Militants would be even more troublesome.

However, before that, he had to send Raiden Mei and Kiana to St. Freya Academy.

After that, Chen Luo could engage in guerrilla warfare within the city.

Before meeting them, Chen Luo didn't know if he could defeat an Emperor-class Honkai Beast, but Chen Luo could run.

The reason he wasn't sending these two back to St. Freya Academy yet was mainly to wait for that Bronya.

How could The Big Three only have two?

Besides, that Bronya should be a crucial step for Chen Luo to join Anti-Entropy.

That's right, Chen Luo planned to join Anti-Entropy.

Of course, Chen Luo's earlier statement about wanting to join Schicksal wasn't just talk.

After all, he hadn't said he could only join one faction. The talent panel had specifically reminded him that he could join factions repeatedly.

If possible, Chen Luo also wanted to join World Serpent and St. Freya Academy.

He wondered if there was a Honkai faction. It would be great if he could join a Honkai faction.

This way, Chen Luo would be a five-sided spy.

And if he wanted to join Anti-Entropy within these seven days, Bronya was his only chance.

As for joining Schicksal, that would be a bit troublesome. For some reason, the St. Freya Academy faction seemed to be separate from the Schicksal faction.

He could definitely join the St. Freya faction, after all, Chen Luo already had a St. Freya Academy Staff Certificate, so he had automatically joined.

Now Chen Luo could freely purchase all items belonging to the St. Freya Academy faction, including but not limited to Oath of Judah, Hyperion, and so on.

But if even Hyperion belonged to St. Freya Academy, Chen Luo really didn't understand how he could join Schicksal...

It sounded annoying, but it was actually more annoying.

And World Serpent...

As expected, maximizing benefits was indeed quite troublesome.

After clearing all the Militants in this massive library, Chen Luo rushed back to his original position.

The reward was that Chen Luo's raw stones had reached the maximum limit, and he had also gained over 200 Crystals, along with an achievement.

[Honkai Hunter] (3-star): Damage dealt to all Militants increased by 20%, and damage dealt to all Honkai Beasts increased by 20%, and damage dealt to all Herrschers increased by 5%.

Acquisition Requirement: Kill one hundred Militants or Honkai Beasts.

Promotion Channel:

Kill 1000 Militants or Honkai Beasts to obtain the achievement [Honkai Reaper] (4-star).

(Special Condition: Must defeat an Emperor Honkai (the extreme of lower-class Honkai Beasts) or higher-level Honkai Beast or Pseudo-Herrscher.)

Effect: Damage dealt to all Militants increased by 50%, damage dealt to Honkai Beasts increased by 50%, damage dealt to Herrschers increased by 12.5%, with a 10% chance to deal true damage upon attacking, which cannot be defended against.

Kill 10,000 Militants or Honkai Beasts to obtain the achievement [Honkai Terminator] (5-star).

(Special Condition: Must defeat a Herrscher.)

Effect: Damage dealt to all Militants increased by 100%, damage dealt to Honkai Beasts increased by 100%, damage dealt to Herrschers increased by 25%, all attacks become true damage, ignoring defense and with a killing blow effect. Upon attacking, there is a 1% chance to instantly kill all types of Honkai faction creatures.

This 5-star achievement is so damn ridiculous.

This was Chen Luo's biggest thought upon seeing this achievement.

Or rather, all five-star items, characters, props, talents, and achievements are incredibly overpowered.

The only five-star achievement Chen Luo possessed, "Great Philanthropist," could significantly increase the trust others had in him upon first meeting, boost their favorability, and make it easier to receive commissions.

Without this five-star achievement, putting aside everything else, Raiden Mei wouldn't have believed Chen Luo so easily, and Kiana would have drawn her sword against Chen Luo, not lowered her gun so readily.

How to put it, if he had that five-star achievement, "Honkai Terminator," Chen Luo would truly have nothing to fear.

Especially that one-hit-kill ability, it was outrageously powerful.

As long as I can deal damage fast enough, I'll scratch even a god to death for you to see.

So you're the Herrscher of the End?

So you're Honkai Consciousness?

So you're Aili... cough cough.

"10,000 Militants and Honkai Beasts... how long will this take to fight? And that's not even the main part, defeating a Herrscher..."

Thinking about that condition, Chen Luo was genuinely troubled.

Herrschers, indeed, were not beings that ordinary people could defeat.

"Welcome back." A gentle voice interrupted Chen Luo's thoughts.

Chen Luo looked up and saw Raiden Mei sitting in the luxurious lounge area of the library, sipping hot tea and smiling at him.

Beside the table, in addition to the hot tea, were various snacks that looked delicious.

"Hm? Where did you get hot tea?" Chen Luo asked, completely bewildered.

This was the apocalypse, yet they were acting like they were at a tea party.

However, upon seeing Raiden Mei, a glimmer of hope arose in Chen Luo's heart.

That's right, there was a weakling Herrscher right in front of him.
