"Beep beep"

Chen Luo's communicator did not ring, but Chen Luo suddenly discovered that a strange soul had entered his Puppet Collection Vault.

"Huh? What's going on?" Chen Luo was taken aback.

Logically speaking, Mobius shouldn't have performed the fusion surgery yet, so how could an extra soul suddenly appear?

Moreover, the marks on the other party's body were not the same as the Puppet Mark that Chen Luo had stamped in Mobius's possession.

"Let me see..." Chen Luo's eyes narrowed, and then he began to trace the source.

The good news is that although the other party is a stranger who has intruded into the Puppet Collection Vault, the other party has also been recorded in the Collective Network.

"Uh, people from Dusk Street?" Chen Luo was taken aback again.

"Oh, so that's how it is." After thoroughly analyzing the other party's information, Chen Luo suddenly realized.

It turns out that these were the Puppet Mark that Chen Luo left at the amusement park when he accompanied Ying and her sister there that day.

Although the outer Earth had not yet been built, Chen Luo already had the rudimentary idea. Since Chen Luo no resources at the time, he scattered all the Puppet Mark he had condensed onto the tourists in the entire amusement park.

Without anyone possessing exceptional strength, Chen Luo's Puppet Mark can control a considerable number of people.

"It's only been a few days, and the other party is already dead?" Chen Luo sighed and said.

At the time, Chen Luo thought that it might take a long time before he could reap any rewards from the batch of Puppet Mark he had scattered, but Chen Luo did not expect that the other party would die in just a few days.

While the Previous Era was indeed a place where death frequently visited everyone, the sheer frequency of its efficiency is still quite remarkable.

"And, Dusk Street, huh..."

But when Chen Luo thought about the fact that the other person was a resident of Dusk Street, he felt that the other person's death was a very normal thing.

Talented people emerge from Dusk Street; three of the Thirteen Flame-Chasers came from there: Pardo, Aponia, and Chijie.

Dusk Street is a no-man's-land that is both chaotic and orderly. It's not that no one wants to manage it, but rather that no one can manage it, and no one is too lazy to manage it.

The inhabitants there are extremely xenophobic, especially towards soldiers.

So if something happens, just run towards Dusk Street.

It's like some criminals who get into trouble and run to Gotham City.

The other person may not have died from any kind of Honkai Sickness; they may have been killed in a gang fight.

That awful place, if I had a choice, I wouldn't go there even if I were a ghost.

Otherwise, why do you think that lousy place produces so many talented people?

"Dusk Street, Dusk Street... Perhaps I should go and take a look there. After all, it is indeed a place where many talented people emerge."

Seeing the Dusk Street, Chen Luo thought of Pardo Felice, who had never done anything for him but was now living off his salary.

And the debt he owes that is as high as 50,000 years.

[Ding! Mission complete]

Upon hearing this notification, Chen Luo looked up at the battlefield.

Chapter 477 Yakumo Yukari: I'll challenge you to a danmaku game contest, and I'll bet Kaguya Houraisan's life on it!

"Manager, what is this?" Kato Megumi asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Oh, it's Kato Megumi. Long time no see. Have you been working as a superhero lately?" Chen Luo greeted Kato Megumi.

"I'm sorry to disappoint you, but not at all. I'm still living my student life, but it really feels good to have my presence back to normal," Kato Megumi said after thinking for a moment.

"But why do you think that after I gain special abilities, I'll become a chivalrous hero?" Kato Megumi asked, somewhat puzzled.

"If you have money but no power, and you're still high and mighty in front of others, wouldn't that be a waste?" Chen Luo said.

"But you're not, Master. Don't you think about it? You've never shown your greatness in the main world. You're gentle, powerful, and helpful..." said Sirin, Sirin was kneeling on the bar and complaining.

Sirin had always been indignant about Chen Luo's obscurity. Someone as great as her master should be the center of attention.

"But if I really become the center of attention, I won't have time to spend with Little Sirin."

"Ah, then let's not be the center of attention." Sirin said decisively after being reminded by Chen Luo.

"He's still just a kid, isn't he?" Chen Luo said with a smile.

"Sirin is not little at all!"

"Alright, alright, Sirin is not young anymore, Sirin is a good girl."

"That's right, that's right. Sirin is very well-behaved, so can Master play games with Sirin?" Sirin asked expectantly.

"Wait a minute, let me pack this first."

"Okay." Sirin nodded obediently.

"Since you don't show off in front of others, why are you criticizing me?" Kato Megumi said calmly.

"Can we be compared? We don't even know what kind of monsters and demons exist in our world, but your world is full of ordinary people. What are you afraid of? Besides, making you a superhero doesn't mean you have to reveal your identity."

"Being a superhero is too tiring, and I still have to do homework at night. How can I have time to go out and fight for justice?" Kato Megumi expressed the demands of an ordinary student.

"Yeah, how do those main characters in anime manage to have absolutely no homework and still go out to fight crime every day?" Chen Luo pondered.

"Perhaps it's because they didn't enroll in any tutoring classes?" Kato Megumi pondered for a moment before offering her answer.

"What a realistic answer," Chen Luo remarked.

"So, store manager, can you answer my question now? What is this?"

"This is a computer," Chen Luo said, patting the computer.

Chen Luo smuggled this computer from Liu Wenxuan.

Liu Wenxuan said this computer is quite expensive; with a mouse, keyboard, headphones, gaming chair, and the like, it would cost at least 30,000 yuan.

However, what bothered Chen Luo a little was that the other person's keyboard was actually cherry blossom pink.

Chen Luo originally wanted to give him another 1 million Mora, but Liu Wenxuan refused to accept it.

Perhaps because Liu Wenxuan and Su Yuan had enjoyed their fight, Liu Wenxuan even offered to give Su Yuan an even more expensive computer.

They also arranged another one.

According to Liu Wenxuan, this kind of head-on fighting is what he likes best.

Su Yuan readily agreed, but neither of them considered Chen Luo's feelings at all.

As for the fight between the two... Su Yuan had a slight advantage.

After all, she was a genius sword-obsessed girl Talent Awakening for at least 8 years and had also cultivated for at least 8 years.

His talent was more valuable than Liu Wenxuan's, he had spent more time Liu Wenxuan, and it took him longer to awaken Liu Wenxuan talent...

If she still can't beat Liu Wenxuan, who hasn't even been awakened for a year, Su Yuan might as well just smash her head against a block of tofu and die.

"Of course I know this is a computer. I wanted to ask what this computer is used for? Manager, is your bar now also providing internet cafe services?" Kato Megumi asked again after hearing Chen Luo's perfunctory answer.

"Oh, this? I installed a game on this computer, a game that tests your skill, hand speed, and luck. If you can beat this game, you can come to me and make a wish, a wish that isn't too outrageous. Of course, whether it's outrageous or not is up to me," Chen Luo said.

What game?

"The Antinomy of Common Flowers, EX-level difficulty," Chen Luo said.

"... Although I've never played it, it sounds very difficult."

"Difficult? That's right, otherwise my wish would be granted very cheaply."

"Of course, you don't necessarily have to pass all the challenges to have your wish granted by me. If you show enough perseverance during the process, you might be able to move me," Chen Luo said.

In fact, this was Chen Luo's real purpose.

Chen Luo didn't think many people could pass the highest difficulty level of this most difficult stage in the Touhou Project.

The problem is that as these people try to help Chen Luo fulfill his wishes by completing challenges, they might naturally request more Primogem rewards as the Death Count and the difficulty increases.

In short, this can be considered a marketing tactic.

Although it's uncertain whether it will be effective, let's try it first. Besides, Chen Luo said that it's not necessary to completely pass all the levels. It's also good to let Chen Luo see the other party's perseverance and persistence.

Isn't this just the kind of method that immortals often use when testing someone who wants to become their disciple?

Chen Luo got this idea while Su Yuan was telling him those interesting stories and anecdotes during dinner tonight.

The more difficult the process of realizing a wish, the more we cherish the hard-won opportunity.

The more unattainable a pair is, the stronger the obsession with that thing becomes.

The stronger one's obsession, the more Primogem one should theoretically possess.

"To grant any wish?"

"It's not about granting limited wishes. I haven't reached the absurd level where I can grant any wish." Chen Luo's words added a degree of credibility to this seemingly outlandish game.

"Can I give it a try?" Kato Megumi asked, somewhat tempted.

"Of course, we welcome anyone, but what wish do you want to have fulfilled?" Chen Luo asked curiously.

"I want to increase the level of my ability..." Kato Megumi expressed her wish.

[Ding! You have a new request!]

Seeing this request Chen Luo surprisingly chose to refuse.

Because once a task is accepted, the reward will not increase or change unless the level is low and the reward is low, and the method of fulfilling the wish is extremely in line with the other party's wishes, in which case it is possible to trigger a great success or a super success.

"The current reward for this quest is 300 Primogem. Let's see if the reward can be increased after they finish the game." Chen Luo memorized the reward for now but did not accept the quest.

This can be considered a small experiment.

Even if the other party can't get through, you can say that you're willing to accept her request because of her sincerity.

It would be even better if the Primogem reward could be increased.

After all, only those who have experienced the harsh realities of the game can truly understand how friendly Chen Luo was before.

However, there are differences between different types of delegations. For example, an immediate delegation is different from a permanent delegation.

If Danzhu wants to be Danzhu from 50,000 years ago, it's obvious that if you don't accept the request, it will disappear on its own in a few minutes.

As for requests like Otto's desire to revive Kallen, they will remain relevant no matter how much time passes.

This is called special treatment for special circumstances.

"I'm sorry, store manager, I'm really sorry." Kato Megumi was bowing deeply to Chen Luo in apology.

"It's alright, it's not a big problem." Chen Luo waved his hand.

"But I'm really sorry, I broke your keyboard." Kato Megumi glanced apologetically at the messy keyboard next to the computer.

"I'll buy you another keyboard tomorrow to make it up to you, store manager," Kato Megumi said.

"Really, there's no need. I have plenty of keyboards. But you should try to control your temper a bit, don't smash keyboards all the time." As Chen Luo spoke, he took out a keyboard exactly like the cherry blossom-colored one from his backpack and replaced it with the computer keyboard.

Chen Luo had anticipated that people playing this game would smash their keyboards, so he used the Void Archive to copy the entire computer, including the keyboard, beforehand.

As for why the computer was copied, it was because Chen Luo was afraid that someone might get angry and smash the computer.

While the bar could indeed protect the computers and keyboards, Chen Luo felt that if they didn't have a place to vent their anger, they might just leave the bar.

Sigh, so let them smash the keyboard. When they get tired of smashing it, they can have a drink, and we'll have made our money back, right?

"..." Kato Megumi, who was described by Chen Luo as having a bad temper, felt a mix of emotions.

Don't you know why I have a bad temper? Is this stupid game even playable by humans?

"However, given your persistence, it's clear you desire to enhance your abilities, so I'll make an exception and grant your wish." Although Chen Luo didn't know what Kato Megumi was thinking at the moment, it didn't stop Chen Luo from completing a request first.

"Really?" Kato Megumi looked at Chen Luo with some surprise.

The dramatic ups and downs were indeed hard for Kato Megumi to bear.

[Ding! You have a new request!]

[Upgrade]: Ekato Kato Megumi's Electromagnetic Control ability, originally at LV3, has been increased by one level.

Reward: 350 Primogem + 15 points of affection with Kato Megumi.

Difficulty: 3 stars.
