Which Herrscher-Raising Method Is Best?

"What kind of crappy figurine is this? So expensive?"

"Honkai Impact 3rd Cang Xuan Collector's Edition figure, Immortal Crimson Kite figure, and Danzhu Puppeteer figure," Danzhu said after thinking for a moment.

"???"

Wait, there are too many important points, Chen Luo was a little confused.

"Um, so... you've already watched Honkai Impact 3rd?"

"I've seen it." Danzhu nodded.

"After all, this game is still quite popular; just watch it on video websites and you'll see. I also want to commend my junior brother; you did a great job, thank you for your hard work." Danzhu patted Chen Luo on the shoulder.

It's something that could transform a world filled with knives into a slightly better world like it is now. Anyway, Danzhu couldn't have done it.

"So you don't have any ideas?"

"Yes, of course." Danzhu nodded.

What are your thoughts?

"Cang Xuan's collector's edition figure is just too cute." Danzhu picked up a cushion from the sofa and rubbed her face against it.

"..." Chen Luo covered his forehead.

What kind of figure fanatic?

"Don't you have any other... other ideas?"

"Hmm...other ideas..." Listening to Chen Luo's words, Danzhu seemed to have really started to think seriously.

"Hua's Immortal Crimson Kite figurine has such big, fake-looking breasts, but it's still quite pretty," Danzhu said seriously.

"... Can't you just stop thinking about your stupid figurine?!"

"That won't do. Just tell me if you'll buy it for me or not? I'll sell myself to pay off my debts. Uh... never mind, let's start with a lap pillow, how about that?" Danzhu patted her smooth, fair thighs and said.

"Go play somewhere else." Chen Luo had a bit of a headache.

"No way! That Cang Xuan Collector's Edition figure is only available for sale recently, and it's about to sell out. I completed a long series of tasks to get the qualification, and then I found out I don't have the money... But if I miss this opportunity, I can only buy a second-hand one from someone else, but I don't want a second-hand one, I want a brand new one, my Cang Xuan..." Danzhu started muttering to herself.

"Stop, stop, stop! Can't I just sculpt one for you? I'll sculpt a life-size one. I'm a puppeteer, you want me to spend money on figurines... well..."

That's like Lu Ban buying a Lu Ban lock from outside just to buy a toy for his son.

"They're not the same. Can a store-bought one be the same as a homemade one? But I want a life-size one too. Can I have both?" Danzhu asked.

Danzhu is the typical brat who absolutely refuses to get a haircut at home and insists on going out for one.

The key point is that the family runs a hair salon.

[Ding! You have a new request!]

"Fine, I give up. 12,000, right?" Chen Luo ultimately couldn't resist the temptation of the Primogem.

"If funds are really tight, just buy a Cang Xuan Collector's Edition figurine for a little over 6,000 yuan, and then buy some clay and such. I'll make the figurines and then sell them to pay off the debt," Danzhu said hurriedly.

In modern society, no skilled craftsman will starve.

Danzhu's figure-making skills are absolutely top-notch.

"And I can also do a live stream, and the stream will be called 'Cosplay Danzhu Making Cang Xuan Figurines.'" Danzhu came up with a brilliant idea.

"Let me tell you, the Cang Xuan I sculpt are definitely much better than the ones sold. If I want to sell them faster, I can sell them at a lower price. Just two or three will be enough to break even. Then I'll pay you back double." Danzhu was emphasizing his role to ensure his ability to repay his debts.

"..." Chen Luo didn't quite understand Danzhu's thought process.

Chen Luo believed in Danzhu's earning power, after all, making figurines was indeed profitable, especially figurines made by a beautiful girl herself.

But... since your figurine sells better than the one that's actually sold, why do you still buy it?

"Fine, if you're going to buy them, then buy them all. And stop livestreaming yourself making figurines. I'm not so poor that I need you to perform for money."

"Thank you, junior brother!" Danzhu excitedly hugged Chen Luo tightly before taking out Chen Luo's phone.

On the phone, the payment interface of a certain app is prominently displayed.

"Wait a minute? Cang Xuan's collector's edition is 6800, Chi Yuan's is 3200, why is your figure only worth 2100?" Chen Luo looked at the payment details, somewhat puzzled.

"Who can blame me for loving Cang Xuan and Chi Yuan so deeply? I bought the most expensive ones for the two of them, and for mine, I just found one that was passable and made do."

"Strange values." Chen Luo entered his payment password on his phone.

Chen Luo didn't try to hide it from others, because his account was empty, with only 900 left.

[Ding! Mission complete]

"Thank you, junior brother! By the way, A Luo, about that life-size Cang Xuan figurine you promised me..."

"I'll give it to you later, don't rush me." Chen Luo waved his hand.

"Okay!" Danzhu nodded obediently.

"Alright, let's get ready. And call your sister too, we should head to the St. Freya Academy." Chen Luo stood up and said.

"Huh? What are we going to the St. Freya Academy for?"

"Of course, we'll find you places to work," Chen Luo said matter-of-factly.

"Do you really want to live in my house forever? This is Different World, you know," Chen Luo emphasized.

"Hmm... I almost forgot this is Different World. But can't we just stay at your place forever? Junior Brother, are you unwilling to take in homeless people like us?"

"Don't worry..."

"Would you be willing to let us stay?"

"St. Freya Academy has dormitories," Chen Luo said.

"..."

"Of course, I won't refuse if you want to stay for a few days, but there really aren't many rooms left in the house," Chen Luo said.

Chen Luo's house isn't a detached super mansion or villa like the Gensokyo Scarlet Devil Mansion, so the number of rooms is naturally limited.

"Is that so? Then it's okay for me to come back and stay occasionally, right?"

"Of course, no problem."

"That's good. Oh, by the way, just a reminder, Cang Xuan doesn't know about Honkai Impact 3rd yet," Danzhu casually mentioned.

"Um?"

"I'm interested in anime, so I can see it, but Cang Xuan isn't interested in anime. Cang Xuan is interested in finance, so he can't see it," Danzhu explained.

"I see." Chen Luo nodded.

Moreover, it seems that Danzhu did not intend to share this matter with Cang Xuan.

After Danzhu personally went upstairs and dragged Cang Xuan down from Chen Luo's room who was using Chen Luo's computer, Chen Luo took the two of them through the bar to the St. Freya Academy and appeared directly in Theresa's office.

As for Herrscher of Knowledge?

Hmm, he hasn't gotten up yet... he's still lying on the Imaginary Tree.

It's almost noon already.

"Chen Luo, are you trying to cram people into my St. Freya Academy again?" Theresa, grabbing Chen Luo by the collar as she watched him try to use his connections to get people with special status into the St. Freya Academy.

"Alright, Theresa, you should be grateful that they're willing to the St. Freya Academy. They're both exceptionally talented scholars from the First Civilization Era. It's an honor for them to join your St. Freya Academy's research department. Without me, what conditions could you possibly offer that would attract them?" Chen Luo said.

"Is that so?" Theresa slowly released her grip.

"Oh, right, could you also help take care of those two Ji Lin? I think they're qualified to be teachers."

"But our school already has enough teachers!"

"But I feel it's lacking. Besides, the other party is Ji Xuanyuan."

"...Alright, call them both out. I want to discuss the positions with them." Theresa nodded.

Chen Luo is right, that's Ji Xuanyuan.

Upon hearing Theresa's words, Chen Luo vanished from his spot and reappeared in the Puppet Collection Vault.

"It's you I've decided, Chi You! Use Scroll!" As soon as Chen Luo entered the Puppet Collection Vault, he saw Corrupted Ji Lin standing on Chi You's head, issuing commands.

Upon sensing that there was another person around, Corrupted Ji Lin paused for a moment and looked at Chen Luo warily.

Then... then, after a moment of stunned silence, Corrupted Ji Lin was flung away by Chi You had activated his rolling skill...

"..." by Chen Luo.

Hmm, as expected of our ancestors, they really knew how to do things in a creative way.

Chapter 472 Which school is best at training Herrscher?

"What brings you here?" Corrupted Ji Lin sat arrogantly on Chi You's head, looking at Chen Luo was floating in mid-air.

Chen Luo didn't understand how Corrupted Ji Lin had persuaded Chi You, or whether the two of them were truly the best partners in life. But Corrupted Ji Lin could indeed command Chi You to roll around, and she could also get Chi You to howl in response to her.

At least when Corrupted Ji Lin sat on Chi You's head, Chi You didn't get angry.

Chi You's enormous body, stretching as far as the eye can see, coupled with Corrupted Ji Lin's slightly domineering and dark aura, was indeed enough to make others tremble.

But this is on the premise that we ignore the fact that Corrupted Ji Lin's short black hair is dripping water and her clothes are a little wet.

These are all proof that Corrupted Ji Lin almost drowned after being thrown a long way.

It was Chen Luo who pulled her out of the water.

"Looks like you're having a lot of fun with Chi You here." Chen Luo stroked his chin, looking at Corrupted Ji Lin and Chi You.

Chen Luo found it hard to imagine that these two people could be together, but upon closer reflection, in a sense, Corrupted Ji Lin was born because of Chi You, and the two were naturally close, so it seemed like there was no problem.

"I'm only temporarily using it as my mount. My beloved horse can't be brought back to life, so I still need a mount," Corrupted Ji Lin said.

"A horse..." Chen Luo really didn't know that Hei Qilin had a favorite horse, but whether in the story, in the Memory Battlefield, or in the abyss, Corrupted Ji Lin had always been riding a horse.

Furthermore, Corrupted Ji Lin's attributes differ when she is riding a horse versus when she is not.

The opponent's horse is a special type of Honkai Beasts, so it has a special ability attribute, while Ji Lin, as a human (Militants soldier), has a biological attribute.

"Little Black, don't you want your horse anymore?"

"It's just that we don't have the materials to summon him. If we did, we could summon him. But this godforsaken place is so desolate, what else is there besides Chi You?" Corrupted Ji Lin curled her lip.

When Chen Luo threw Ji Lin and the others into the Puppet Collection Vault, Corrupted Ji Lin strongly requested to go to the vicinity of Chi You, and even directly asked Chen Luo to throw her into the heart part of Chi You's body.

Ji Lin was directly sent by Chen Luo to a dormitory near his own Fire Moth dormitory.

Anyway, the dorm room is fully furnished, it's just empty.

How many people could the original Earth hold, and how many people can the current Earth hold?

"I'll find you some materials later, but never mind, you can go find them yourself. What do you want? Soul steel? Or special steel? I'm taking you to the St. Freya Academy anyway, you can find the materials you need there. I can cover the expenses," Chen Luo said.

"St. Freya Academy? What are we going there for?" Corrupted Ji Lin frowned.

"Isn't this because I'm worried you'll get bored staying in this world all the time? Perhaps the population of this world will gradually increase in the future, but at least there are very few people now, and even fewer permanent residents," Chen Luo said.

After this Earth was placed in the Puppet Collection Vault, all authorized dolls could freely come and go. However, few people were willing to stay here permanently.

Chen Luo didn't intend for these puppets to work and earn money to support himself. He went to the St. Freya Academy with Cang Xuan Zhu to find them jobs, mainly so that they could have some social experience, especially since Fu Hua and the others were there as well.

If Cang Xuan and Dan Zhu aren't interested, Chen Luo won't force them to go.

Let's support him. Although Chen Luo has no money in his own world, he is very rich in other worlds.

Moreover, the Puppet Collection Vault is quite rich in materials.

"Besides, Fu Hua is still a student there. If you want, you can become a teacher." Seeing Corrupted Ji Lin deep in thought, Chen Luo added insult to injury.

"Okay, I'll go!" Corrupted Ji Lin nodded decisively.

Teaching Fu Hua things, giving Fu Hua lessons... it sounds like a lot of interesting stuff.

Then... Corrupted Ji Lin successfully found a transfer student position at the St. Freya Academy.

That's right, Corrupted Ji Lin became a student.

Even Theresa didn't want things to turn out this way, but after Ji Lin and Corrupted Ji Lin thought about it carefully, they suddenly realized that they didn't seem to have any other abilities besides martial arts that they could boast about.

After all, if we really want to count, both Ji Lin and Corrupted Ji Lin belong to the type who didn't even attend nine years of compulsory education.
