So this girl and I were father and daughter now?
I was only seventeen.
And a relationship this ridiculous was allowed?
If I'd known, I might as well have said we were married from the start.
Ding! Congratulations, you have obtained 600 Primogems and a random Weapon Mastery skill.
Would you like to draw the skill immediately?
"No."
It has been detected that it is currently inconvenient for you, so all rewards have been placed in your inventory.
"Ahem, um, can this relationship still be changed?" Chen Luo asked inwardly.
Changing the relationship requires the other party's consent.
"..." She had agreed so readily just now, so why was changing it so difficult?
It gave Chen Luo the same feeling as those rename card scams—changing a name cost money.
Trash system!
Hm? This was my talent? Never mind, then.
Emmm, did that mean he had to ask the Herrscher of Knowledge whether they could change their relationship from father and daughter to siblings?
Thinking that, Chen Luo couldn't help looking at the Herrscher of Knowledge, who was leaning against his pillow.
Bang! For some reason, the Herrscher of Knowledge suddenly sat up and chopped Chen Luo on the head.
"Huh? Why did you hit me?" Chen Luo looked utterly baffled.
"I feel like you were talking bad about me." The Herrscher of Knowledge eyed Chen Luo suspiciously.
She had only stopped using Mind Reading for a moment, and this guy was already badmouthing her again?
"...If possible, could you not lean against my pillow?" Chen Luo said after a moment of silence.
"???"
"Or could you wash your hair first?" Chen Luo suggested as he looked at his pillow, which was about to get dirtied from being played with.
"And that's why?" The Herrscher of Knowledge didn't understand, but she was deeply shocked!
You didn't mind me living in your house, but because I dirtied your pillow, you wanted this injured patient to get off your bed? Did you even have any humanity left?
"What else? If you're going to live here from now on, you don't want the house to be filthy, do you?"
"That makes sense." The Herrscher of Knowledge couldn't help nodding.
"So, do you know how to use modern appliances?"
"Who do you think you're looking down on?" The Herrscher of Knowledge glared at Chen Luo.
"Don't be angry. Didn't you say you were an immortal just now? Since you're an immortal, it'd be perfectly normal if you'd never encountered modern society. I was worried about you. But it seems an immortal like you is a little different from the immortals I imagined." Chen Luo said as he looked her over from head to toe.
"Of course. I can do anything!" The Herrscher of Knowledge said proudly.
"So that means you can bathe without my help, right?" Chen Luo finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"No, I need help." The Herrscher of Knowledge shook her head.
"Huh?"
"My whole body hurts right now. Bathing is out of the question." The Herrscher of Knowledge said unhappily.
"Then why were you so enthusiastic about hitting me just now? And it hurt quite a bit."
"No, no, no. I didn't hit you. I just made you think you'd been hit." The Herrscher of Knowledge shook her head.
"That works too?"
"Of course it does. But I won't make things difficult for you. Just help me wash my hair, and find me some clean clothes while you're at it."
"...You really don't stand on ceremony, do you?"
"Why should I? Your home is my home. What's there to be polite about at home?"
"..." Chen Luo suddenly had the illusion that he had invited a wolf into his house.
Why had she adapted so quickly?
Still, to keep his bedding from suffering any further, Chen Luo helped her up and carried her toward the bathroom on his back.
Though her body hurt all over and she didn't want to waste energy, it would still be incredibly easy for her to beat him up. Even sitting down, she could utterly crush Chen Luo.
Chen Luo knew that much, at least.
If Chen Luo's nursing skill level could be quantified, it would be quite high. Experience was the best teacher, after all, so washing her hair was no problem. He even wiped her face while he was at it.
Only then did Chen Luo finally see just how beautiful she was.
As for the clothes...
"You know, A-Luo, your taste in clothes is pretty good. I'm very satisfied with this green dinosaur pajama set!" The Herrscher of Knowledge stood in the living room with her hands on her hips.
"You could obviously move, yet you still made me wash your hair!" Chen Luo glared at her angrily.
"I said my whole body hurt. I never said I couldn't move. You're just stupid." The Herrscher of Knowledge made a face at Chen Luo, then lay down on the sofa.
Ding-dong! Just as Chen Luo was about to return to his room and claim his rewards, the doorbell rang.
Chen Luo glanced at the Herrscher of Knowledge before walking to the front door.
"Mm, Miss Yun, why are you here?"
"Why do you think? Don't you want your backpack anymore?" Yun Xia directly tossed the backpack in her hand into Chen Luo's arms.
"Thanks." Feeling how much lighter the backpack had become, Chen Luo nodded.
Without the brick, it really was lighter.
"No need to thank me. Instead of thanking me, why don't you tell me why you were in such a hurry today?" Clearly, Chen Luo's deskmate was more interested in that matter.
Chen Luo's abnormal behavior today had reached an extreme. If there hadn't been something important going on, he could never have acted like that.
After all, he had actually refused someone's request.
"Mm, let me guess. Was it because of the woman behind you?" Yun Xia tilted her head slightly and spotted the Herrscher of Knowledge lying on the sofa in dinosaur pajamas.
"That's right. Come in." Chen Luo stepped aside.
Yun Xia bit on her lollipop and stared intently at the unfamiliar woman in Chen Luo's house.
"This is my cousin. I only remembered near the end of school that she was coming today. My cousin has practiced martial arts, and she hits people really hard." Chen Luo muttered quietly.
This counted as openly taking revenge through official means.
Hurry up and say your name. I still don't know your name.
At the same time, Chen Luo muttered to himself inwardly.
Though it sounded a little stupid, Chen Luo believed she could hear his thoughts.
"Mm, hello. My name is Fu Hua, and I'm Chen Luo's cousin." The Herrscher of Knowledge smiled and greeted Yun Xia.
"Cousin... Forget it, I won't go in." Yun Xia stood at the doorway, pondered for a moment, then shook her head.
"Oh, and if you don't have enough money, you can borrow some from me. Given your family's circumstances, supporting two people must be difficult, right?" Before leaving, Yun Xia said to Chen Luo.
"You don't need to worry about that. She came with rent money." Though Chen Luo was crying inside, he looked delighted on the outside.
"That's good. Want me to tear down the rental advertisement at the guardhouse on my way out? Putting up advertisements in a villa district—who would believe them?"
"Then I'll trouble you, Miss Yun." Chen Luo hurriedly nodded.
Furniture Mastery and Zero Bar
"Um, Fu Hua, do you need to eat?" After Miss Yun left, Chen Luo fell silent for a moment before asking.
"Listen to that question. What normal person doesn't need to eat?" The Herrscher of Knowledge rolled her eyes at Chen Luo.
"..."
"Hm? No way. Your home looks so luxurious, yet you're worried about food money?" After hearing Chen Luo's thoughts, the Herrscher of Knowledge was stunned.
"You don't understand. To stop me from spending recklessly, my parents calculated all the money they gave me very carefully, ensuring that my expenses were no different from an ordinary person's. But adding you changes things. We might have to eat dirt this month. No, next month. I still have some savings to use this month." Chen Luo said helplessly.
Ever since Chen Luo entered high school, he had always enjoyed helping others. Before his parents left, they had been afraid that someone might exploit his kindness to scam him out of money, so they strictly controlled his spending. Otherwise, Chen Luo wouldn't have given up all those games that required spending money after entering high school.
"That sounds a little pitiful, but don't worry. Isn't it just money? Easy."
"Huh, you have money?"
"No, I don't."
"What are you planning? Don't do anything crazy. Robbery is against the law." Chen Luo suddenly realized something.
"Ahem, what do you mean, robbery? It's called upholding justice! Tonight, once my injuries are mostly healed, I'll take you out to uphold justice and rob the rich to help the poor!"
"What? I have to go too?"
"What? Are you embarrassed not to go? We're doing this for your living expenses."
"No... Fine, I'll go. Remember to call me when you want dinner tonight. I'll go back to my room and tidy up the bedding first." Chen Luo suddenly thought of something.
If they upheld justice, would he get Primogems?
Of course, what mattered most right now wasn't upholding justice or dinner. It was claiming his rewards as quickly as possible!
"Fine, go ahead." After Chen Luo left, the Herrscher of Knowledge grabbed the remote and began watching television.
After returning to his room, Chen Luo pulled off the dirty pillowcase and bedsheet while examining his inventory.
There were three items in the inventory.
One was a slip of paper marked 600 Primogems.
One was a bead.
The last was a card with a question mark drawn on it.
The first one was easy to understand. With a single thought from Chen Luo, it was used, and his account gained 600 Primogems, successfully reaching the 1,600 Primogem mark. That meant Chen Luo could do a ten-pull.
But there was no rush. There was still the second item.
That thing seemed to be something that enhanced Chen Luo's physical fitness. Chen Luo would receive one every time he completed a commission. Based on the mission's importance, difficulty, and duration, the bead's enhancement effect varied.
He might as well use it first.
When Chen Luo silently chose to use it, a surge of warmth spread from his dantian throughout his body.
If the reward for stealing a little loli's lollipop had been a tiny flame, then this time it was a big... flame.
It didn't feel like as much as he had imagined.
Thinking about it carefully, this mission hadn't been particularly difficult.
But... moving the bedside table felt much easier than before, and his body felt much lighter too.
At least he would be able to run faster in the future, which satisfied Chen Luo greatly.
"Next is that random mastery skill card." Chen Luo looked at the final item in his inventory, his eyes filled with delight.
This was the random Weapon Mastery mentioned in the rewards, right?
What would it be? What would it be?
Could it be a sword?
Chen Luo recalled the several bizarre longswords wielded by the Herrscher of Knowledge.
Even now, Chen Luo had no idea where those feathers had come from, or how they had turned into swords.
"I'll be able to do a ten-pull in a while, so I'll try a single pull first and see how my luck is." Chen Luo wanted to use this weapon card to test the waters.
As Chen Luo silently chose to use it, the palm-sized card suddenly expanded into a roulette wheel and began spinning rapidly.
