"Understood." Cang Xuan nodded and snatched the punishment copy from Dan Zhu's hand, then ran towards the newly added display case in the laboratory.

That display case was a document display case. According to Mobius, this display case was specifically for storing punishments of copying. When the entire case could no longer hold the punishments of Cang Xuan and Danzhu, then their death would be imminent.

Seeing Mobius's half-hearted performance, Danju suddenly thought that maybe he could just make copies of those punishments and get by.

"I'll go and read through all those punishment copies over and over again in a bit. If I find any trace of photocopying by Cang Xuan and Danzhu, you two are in big trouble."

"Yes!" Danzhu stood at attention instantly.

Forget it, let's just leave it to Chen Luo. Otherwise, if things go wrong, it'll be a real disaster.

"Huh? What are you doing following me?" Mobius asked, looking at Chen Luo who was following him as he picked up the breakfast Chen Luo had prepared for him from the table and headed toward the lounge.

"Collecting debts..." Chen Luo replied quietly.

Honestly, if it weren't for the coincidence of Mobius going out yesterday, Chen Luo felt that the Identity Application probably wouldn't have been successful. After all, there was no contact with that world, so how could he apply for it?

Therefore, it is indeed true that Mobius was the culprit.

"???" Mobius was a little puzzled by Chen Luo's words.

[Preventing Variables]: The emergence of variables is the greatest challenge to two civilizations on different timelines in the same world.

To prevent a variable acting as Traveler, to maintain the course of history, to prevent a civilization from being greatly damaged or destroyed, and to prevent events that would lead to the destruction of a chain of World Bubble and parallel worlds.

Reward: Identity Application + 4000 Primogem

This was the commission Chen Luo received—a commission that was clearly stated in every word and detail.

Chen Luo understood that time on the Imaginary Tree was not immutable, but there would be a price to pay for changing it. That is, if the destruction of the Previous Era were prevented, the countless world bubbles and parallel worlds derived from the current civilization, while not completely destroyed, would at least have their foundations destroyed.

This is a very serious matter.

It's not surprising that a mission with a reward of 4000 Primogem is worthwhile, given that it involves numerous World Bubble, parallel worlds, and even the survival of an entire civilization.

But isn't your mention of a particular Traveler as a variable a bit too specific?

In a sense, Chen Luo came into contact with the Second Civilization Era before he came into contact with the First Civilization Era. This was a predetermined fate. In order to prevent the Second Civilization Era from being completely destroyed or ceasing to exist, and to prevent so many people and friends that Chen Luo knew from losing their ability to depend on it, Chen Luo really could not interfere too much with the First Civilization Era.

And Chen Luo has indeed found a way to prevent the Second Civilization Era from being destroyed and the First Civilization Era from falling into a complete tragedy.

But you want me to stop you? Isn't that a bit outrageous?

"To be honest, I've been behaving very well since I came to the First Civilization Era. Where did you get the idea that I intend to be the culprit who destroyed so many World Bubble and parallel worlds? This puts a lot of pressure on me, okay?"

"And the time span for completing this task is huge, ridiculously huge," Chen Luo complained.

It's possible that this task will require Chen Luo to witness the Finality washing the entire surface of the earth before it can be completed, or it might be a little earlier.

But it's not a task that can be completed in a short time.

"But to be fair, the threat level below this task has been a huge help." Chen Luo said, then looked at the progress bar below the task.

That's not a simple progress bar; it has 100 markings.

The progress bar is now at about 3%, and the color of the progress bar, which is filled with three marks, is still very light.

According to the mission details, this thing is a threat level bar.

The variable recorded is Chen Luo's alteration of this world, and as long as this progress bar does not reach 100%, it will not interfere with the ending.

Chen Luo can also use this threat level progress bar to determine whether he will accidentally destroy the Second Civilization Era (the current civilization) due to a momentary slip of the hand.

Of course, when the threat level reaches 100%, Chen Luo 'Chen Luo mission will fail, and his 2,000 Primogem will be wasted.

Whether it's to prevent the Second Civilization from being destroyed or for his own 2000 Primogem, Chen Luo has to take this progress bar quite seriously.

History cannot be changed, but it can be fooled.

In a sense, as long as the result remains unchanged, it is acceptable to slightly alter the process.

"Speaking of which, Honkai Consciousness... Could the Honkai Consciousness be myself? But that doesn't make sense either. Given my patience, I don't have that much free time to be Honkai Consciousness."

"Or did I complete this task but not claim the identity reward, only the Primogem?"

"Or perhaps I transferred this identity?"

Chen Luo took out his household registration booklet again and turned to page 2.

Page 1 is Chen Luo's household registration book from his own main world, and page 2 is from the Honkai World.

Chen Luo hasn't completed his mission yet, so this is just a temporary certificate, and the identity inside is exactly the one that Chen Luo Cannon Fodder No. 1 forged for him.

"I had this identity before I applied, and I still have this identity after I applied. I feel like I Abyss Flower my 2,000 Primogem." Chen Luo, somewhat amused and exasperated.

Of course, this second temporary household registration page is not important; what is important is the information written on it.

[Identity is transferable]

Except for the information on the first page belonging to Chen Luo's own world, which states that it is non-transferable, all other identities obtained through completing tasks are transferable.

This is probably the difference between a native-born person and someone with a native-born household registration.

Foreign citizenship can be converted to local citizenship. However, foreigners cannot become citizens of a country.

This is a difference in definition.

"So here's the question: if I were to transfer this identity in the future, to whom would I transfer it?" Chen Luo began to ponder.

For Chen Luo, being a member of the Honkai Consciousness was definitely not an easy job.

It is indeed not appropriate to reward them.

"When I go to Otto to discuss Kallen's matter today, I'll see if I can meet the Honkai Consciousness again. Maybe I can figure out who it is."

Chen Luo used to think that the Honkai Consciousness was just the Honkai Consciousness, but now Chen Luo's worldview is starting to Honkai.

If even Honkai Consciousness might not be Honkai Consciousness anymore, then what else is impossible?

"Oh, right, after I applied for an identity in the Honkai World, can I also apply for an identity in the Teyvat Continent?" Chen Luo pondered, looking at his household registration page.

This household registration booklet looks like it has only a few thin layers, but according to the introduction, it can actually be used to apply for countless identities.

Just as Yelan once said, having more identities in this world is like having more disguises, which can help you get by. So in a world, you can apply for one identity, but you can only apply for one identity at a time.

In other words, before this identity task is completed, you can only have one temporary task, and you cannot abandon this task to apply for the next task.

Chen Luo was wondering if he could use this to farm commissions when he didn't have any, but Chen Luo was worried that there might be some kind of unspoken rules involved.

For example, what about the upper limit on the number of identities not mentioned above?

However, Chen Luo didn't know what the definition of this world was. Was the Honkai World and the Teyvat Continent considered the same world?

"Actually, if I could, I would really like to be the 76th head of the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor."

"The 77th Hall Master is Hu Tao, and I was the 75th Hall Master, Hu Tao's grandfather. So, the 76th Hall Master..."

[Ding! Identity Application detected, in progress...]

"Wait, wait, damn it, stop, stop! I was just kidding! Don't mess with me!" Upon hearing this warning, Chen Luo panicked instantly.

The good news is that if you apply for an identity in the Honkai World, you can indeed apply for another identity in the Teyvat Continent.

The bad news is...

[Abort Completed]

"Phew..." Chen Luo breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that sound.

"That scared the hell out of me! Luckily I yelled in time. It's probably because Teyvat Continent is quite far away, so the signal was a bit weak, otherwise I might have ended up with a 16-year-old daughter..."

Keep in mind that Chen Luo is only 17 years old this year. What is it like to have a 16-year-old daughter?

"Seriously, why didn't they check this household registration booklet beforehand? Don't they know what a joke is? This kind of careless talk can really kill people. I don't even know if this identity can only be used to claim someone who no longer exists, or if anyone can apply for it, like if I wanted to be the boyfriend of someone who is bound by the Heavenly Principles. Would such an application even be approved?" Chen Luo started to think.

If this only allows you to apply for characters that don't currently exist, then it's slightly different from being able to apply for characters that already exist.

[Ding! Identity Application detected, in progress...]

"Huh? What Identity Application? Damn it! Stop! Halt! Halt!" Chen Luo said hurriedly upon hearing the voice.

At first glance, Chen Luo didn't even understand what he was talking about, but later he realized that he was probably referring to the identity of the boyfriend Sustainer of Heavenly Principles.

[Abort successful.]

"Damn it, if I ever have my household registration booklet with me, I really can't just say anything carelessly, it could easily get me killed," Chen Luo said as he tossed the booklet into his backpack.

This thing is absolutely awesome.

Chen Luo opened three of the ten random rewards, but these three greatly shocked Chen Luo, to the point that Chen Luo couldn't open any more rewards, fearing he would have a heart attack from the shock.

In particular, the first identity task application on this household registration book really made Chen Luo depressed.

"How much time is left until the auspicious day?" Chen Luo began to calculate with his fingers.

The auspicious day Chen Luo mentioned was the day for drawing the six-star reward. The letter had clearly stated what kind of day Chen Luo should choose.

"The most recent one seems to be the day after tomorrow, but when it comes to lotteries, does having a suitable auspicious day really work?" After calculating the date, Chen Luo had great doubts about what he had written in his future letter.

"Or did I originally plan to participate in the lottery on that day and then win something good?"

"Forget it, I'll just call Raiden Mei out tonight and ask her." Chen Luo sighed.

The Raiden Mei mentioned here naturally refers to the future Raiden Mei summoned through cards.

"Get ready, it's time for surgery." A knock sounded on the door, Mobius half-opened it, speaking to Chen Luo who was sitting in the lounge.

"Okay, I'll be right there." Chen Luo stood up when he saw Mobius calling him.

It's time to start earning rewards.

As for that idiotic mission about the Honkai Consciousness, let's think about it later. Right now, even if Chen Luo racked his brains, Chen Luo still wouldn't know who that Honkai Consciousness was.

I have a feeling that anyone could be a possibility, it could even be Mobius.

Or it could be that any of the Thirteen Flame-Chasers, except for Kevin, Sue, and Hua, could be among them.

So here's the question: could it be Little Griseo or Pardo?

It just doesn't seem likely...

If it were really Pardo, she might ask for 50,000 years' worth of wages the moment she sees me.

Why don't you turn around and Cat Teaser Stick to tease the other person in front of them?

You can give it a try; it won't kill you.

On the contrary, it would be interesting if we could actually amuse them.

As for whether he could meet him, that was never a concern for Chen Luo. After all, in the current civilization, Chen Luo was the only one who was truly loyal to the Honkai Consciousness; the others were all traitors.

Honkai Consciousness, I'm your fan!

Of course, it would be great if all faction prices could be reduced to 50% off.

If it could be changed to a 90% discount, that would be even better.

"By the way, do you remember the person I added to your itinerary?" Mobius asked as he watched Chen Luo undergo the fusion surgery.

"Oh, you mean the scar, right?" Chen Luo replied while performing the fusion surgery on the other party.

As always, I received a commission before starting this fusion surgery.

However, since those who come to undergo fusion surgery are all ordinary warriors with limited strength, their mission rewards are not very high.

Perhaps it's because they come to take on these commissions with a sense of certain death in mind, which makes them seem very Zen-like.

The rewards are low, and sometimes people don't even post commissions.

However, after they became more Buddhist, Chen Luo also became more Buddhist. Chen Luo was too lazy to find someone to make an example of and remind them of the fear of being dominated by death during the fusion surgery.

It's already good enough to make some money from Primogem, so don't be too picky.

However, it seems that turning your own doll into Flame-Chaser doesn't increase the threat level. Perhaps it's because all Flame-Chaser have to be wiped out in one wave by the Herrscher of Restraint?

It's also possible that after becoming Chen Luo's puppet, she couldn't influence the world in a certain sense.

"That's right, it's Hen. Did he become Flame-Chaser in the future?" Mobius asked casually.

"Paying attention to these things, that's not like you at all?" Chen Luo looked at Mobius curiously.
