The commissions Chen Luo can accept are likely, but not limited to: helping Golden Flash summon Enkidu, helping Tohsaka Tokiomi obtain the Holy Grail, helping Matou Kariya betray Tohsaka Tokiomi, and helping Iskandar obtain a physical body...

"Thinking about it carefully, it's not necessary to be too opposed to the Holy Grail War," Chen Luo suddenly realized.

Yes, the Holy Grail War may seem a bit far-fetched, but there are quests you can take on.

"But I just like the way you look at me when you're unhappy but can't beat me up! You want me to summon a servant, but you're just thinking nonsense!" Chen Luo raised his middle finger in the sky.

If you tell me to summon a Servant, I'll summon one. Wouldn't it be embarrassing for me to have a Servant?

"Corrupted Ji Lin, come out!" Chen Luo snapped his fingers.

At Chen Luo's summons, Corrupted Ji Lin, who was Chen Luo's puppet, appeared abruptly in front of Chen Luo almost instantly.

"..." Chen Luo looked at Corrupted Ji Lin with some surprise. He was holding a bowl of instant noodles and wearing a loose shirt that resembled the style of a homebody.

As a puppeteer, Chen Luo can summon his puppets instantly, no matter what they are doing.

For example, right now.

"!!!" The summoned Corrupted Ji Lin looked at Chen Luo in a panic, almost dropping the instant noodles in her hand.

What the heck is going on?

I was eating instant noodles, how did you summon me here?

"Xiao Hei, eating instant noodles all the time isn't good; it's not nutritious." Chen Luo took the instant noodles from Corrupted Ji Lin's hand and, in doing so, broke off a few strands of noodles that the other person was chewing on.

"What's it to you? I'm a spirit, I don't need real nutrition, give me back my instant noodles!" Corrupted Ji Lin said, somewhat embarrassed and angry.

"Here, have some of my super deluxe Spicy Lobster Instant Noodles." Chen Luo turned around and placed his instant noodles in the other person's hand.

"..."

"Don't make that face like you want to throw the instant noodles but it tastes so good you don't want to. Don't worry, I won't look down on you because you're eating instant noodles," Chen Luo said, looking at Corrupted Ji Lin's unusually complicated expression.

"Hmph!" Corrupted Ji Lin snorted coldly and then vanished instantly.

Chen Luo wasn't worried when he saw the other person disappear, because Chen Luo knew that the other person had returned to the Puppet Collection Vault. After about a minute, the instant noodles in Ji Lin's hand disappeared, and the original otaku outfit on her body changed into the black clothes that Chen Luo had seen when he first met her. She also had a black Xuanyuan Sword in her hand.

"What do you want from me?" Corrupted Ji Lin looked at Chen Luo coldly.

"Here's the thing, come and sign this contract." Chen Luo handed a contract to Corrupted Ji Lin.

"Huh? When Chen Luo uses the Command Spell, he has to show an expression of not wanting to do it but having no choice, and then completely obey the commands Chen Luo issues when using the Command Spell... What kind of strange contract is this? And what is the Command Spell?" Corrupted Ji Lin looked at the contract in front of her with a blank expression.

Perhaps Corrupted Ji Lin was overthinking things, but upon seeing this contract, Corrupted Ji Lin thought of something unhealthy.

I don't want to do it, but I have to...

Although... Corrupted Ji Lin, as Chen Luo's puppet, was unable to refuse Chen Luo's orders.

So is this contract really useful?

Although Corrupted Ji Lin was indeed completely bewildered, she had no room to refuse Corrupted Ji Lin Chen Luo's request.

So Corrupted Ji Lin looked at the contract with disdain while signing her name.

"Contract established!"

That page of the contract instantly turned to ashes.

"Alright, now it meets all three attributes: Berserker, Servant, and Spirit, and it's even bound by a contract, linked to a Command Seal. Tell me, isn't this a Servant?" Chen Luo looked up at the sky with some disbelief.

Although Chen Luo could only see the basement ceiling, he still had to project an aura of "my fate is in my own hands, not in the heavens."

[Ding! Identity Application task completed]

[Acquired Identity (Chen Luo's Maid, the Wandering Magus)]

[Gained 200 Primogem]

[Receive Maid Gift Pack: Bedroom Arts Manual x1, Official Identity Proof x1, Maid Outfit x2, Erotic Maid Outfit x2]

Do you wish to collect it?

"??? Wait, this identity isn't right. This isn't the identity I applied for. I applied for the identity of Chen Luo, the Wandering Magus's maid, servant, bed warmer, familiar, secret admirer, worshipper, and... well, not something so superficial! And that... that... damn it! I can't say it!"

Looking at the special Maid Outfit in the mission rewards, Chen Luo felt terrible.

And what's the meaning of that "secret manual of bedroom arts"?

Is this something a maid is supposed to do?

"Yakumo Yukari, come out here. I've gotten your ID card sorted out for you." Chen Luo tilted his head and said to Yakumo Yukari in the bar with a rather nonchalant attitude.

"..." After hearing Chen Luo's words, Yakumo Yukari hesitated for a moment before walking out of the Bar Door.

"Clang!" Just as Yakumo Yukari stepped out of the Bar Door, a bell rang.

"Quickly, quickly, let's get the handover done." Chen Luo hurriedly took out his Identity Proof from his household registration book and handed it to Yakumo Yukari.

This Identity Proof cannot be transferred to other worlds; it must be transferred within this world, and only under the witness of this world can the transfer be considered successful.

Before the transfer, Yakumo Yukari was an unregistered resident and an outsider.

"..." Yakumo Yukari stared silently at the Identity Proof Chen Luo handed her, her face showing a hint of awkwardness.

Identity Proof is a good thing, but... strange Identity Proof isn't necessarily so.

As for the same meaning of roles like maid, servant, and maidservant, Yakumo Yukari will not mention them.

But what does "secret admirer" mean?

"Take it quickly." Chen Luo waved the Identity Proof in his hand.

"Understood, Master!" After receiving the Identity Proof, Yakumo Yukari uttered the last two words through gritted teeth.

Chapter 554 [Realm] (Rank A)

[Ding! Mission complete]

Yakumo Yukari never said what kind of identity she wanted. Since that's the case, then naturally we should find the simplest and quickest one.

In any case, for Yakumo Yukari, there is no essential difference between high and low status.

However, given that Yakumo Yukari and Chen Luo have a fairly good relationship, it would be too undignified and unreasonable to let Yakumo Yukari become a beggar.

Therefore, Chen Luo had no choice but to resort to this desperate measure.

Since the identity of the Wandering Magus Chen Luo is virtual, it shouldn't be too difficult to pair a virtual character with a virtual maid.

Moreover, this way, Yakumo Yukari's entanglements with others are reduced, which can perfectly guarantee Yakumo Yukari's independence.

"So this is why you made up this identity for me?" Looking at her identity written on the Identity Proof, Yakumo Yukari looked at Chen Luo with a strange expression.

"Yakumo Yukari, you don't need to look at me like that. In the end, this is just an identity that allows you to walk in this world. What exactly is this identity? Does it even matter?" Chen Luo countered.

"That's true, but the complexity of this identity is still beyond the comprehension of ordinary people, isn't it? And is this the only identity? Is there nothing else?" Yakumo Yukari continued to ask.

"No, that's not it. That's the advantage of this household registration booklet. When it applies for your identity, it also applies for all the items you're entitled to," Chen Luo said, shaking his head.

"For example, after I applied for the identity of that Wandering Magus, I obtained a magic circuit, the most basic magic knowledge, and some other miscellaneous things."

"Speaking of which, Patchouli, come here for a moment." Chen Luo stood at the Bar Door and waved to Patchouli inside.

"Is there something you need?" Patchouli asked as she walked over.

"Of course there's something to it. Here are the magic circuits you requested. But unfortunately, because this Wandering Magus is so unsophisticated, his magic circuits are of extremely low level, he doesn't even have a magic crest, and his knowledge of magic is only at the most basic level."

"Compared to a family-trained Magus, he is more like a wandering Wandering Magus who takes his chances to become the first generation of magic circuit owners and then wanders around looking for ways to advance further."

"I can only say that the persona I applied for is quite complete, but the things they gave me were really few." Chen Luo said as he received the things that came with the identity, and then handed the magic circuit that appeared in his backpack to Patchouli.

Of course, since Chen Luo initially applied to be Wandering Magus, rather than a stronger Magus from a certain family or faction, it means that Chen Luo was already prepared.

The application contains little personal information and the task is not difficult, which suggests that the rewards associated with this identity are unlikely to be substantial.

The specific value of an identity can be referenced from the original amount deducted when the identity task is generated after the Identity Application is completed.

[Ding! Mission complete]

Like Yakumo Yukari, Patchouli didn't specify the quality or quantity when she asked Chen Luo for Magic Circuits.

Patchouli, having taken the magic circuit, examined the neural network specimen that resembled a tree branch.

"Does this specimen have the ability to be activated?" Patchouli asked, turning her head.

"Yes, if you really want to use this thing, just stick it on your back. Then the resin attached to the specimen will melt instantly, allowing the magic circuit to merge into your body. That way, you will have a magic circuit of poor quality and quantity." Chen Luo nodded.

The quality of this magic circuit is truly terrible.

It was so bad it was Herrscher of the Heart.

He's the kind of character who, even if the Holy Grail War were to be missing one member (the Wandering Magus) and enter the Holy Grail, they might still ignore him.

This is really just for reference.

"Then this thing... it seems we can only study it." Hearing Chen Luo say this, Patchouli probably understood just how rubbish the magic circuit in her hand really was.

Fortunately, since it's just research, the quality doesn't need to be very high.

"I guess I can say I've successfully retired. 80% of the issues have been resolved." Chen Luo took one last look at the insect chamber, which had been completely destroyed by his Fireball Technique.

The remaining tasks are to help Sakura heal her body, remove all the insects, and repair her condition.

Anyone who wants to participate in the Holy Grail War can participate; I'm not participating.

When they've beaten you so badly your head is almost off, go back and ask them what wishes they want to have fulfilled.

"So the purpose of you summoning me here is to make me sign that rather absurd contract with you?" Standing to the side, Corrupted Ji Lin, who had been silent all along, finally spoke.

Do you have some serious brain disease?

"No, no, no, I was just doing it to complete the mission, but I owe you a lot this time too," Chen Luo said to Corrupted Ji Lin.

Fortunately, although Chen Luo's Puppet Collection Vault doesn't have many dolls, it has a wide variety of types; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to gather all the servants required for the mission.

As for how the Holy Grail War will continue without the Berserker?

What does that have to do with Chen Luo?

To be honest, there's really no need to fight the Holy Grail War; it's good that it can't continue.

Besides, even if you summon the Holy Grail, what can you do with it?

Although the Holy Grail War is said to involve deactivating all the participating Heroic Spirits, filling the Holy Grail with them, and then completing the ritual to ultimately summon the Holy Grail.

But in the 4th and 5th Holy Grail War, which one required all Heroic Spirits to be killed before the Holy Grail could be summoned? In fact, there were three Holy Grails in the 5th Holy Grail War.

Tsk tsk.

"What about me? What am I supposed to do?" Yakumo Yukari pointed to herself.

"You..." After hearing Yakumo Yukari's words, Chen Luo looked up at Yakumo Yukari.

"I've already taken care of your identity. Do you really intend to follow that identity and stay by my side forever? If that's what you're thinking, I'm not unwilling to give you that opportunity," Chen Luo said, stroking his chin.

"What the hell? I'm asking you this because I want to know more about this world from you. Don't tell me you don't have any games or anime similar to Scarlet Devil." Yakumo Yukari said bluntly.

[Ding! You have a new request!]

Since Chen Luo was able to express considerable knowledge about this world, and Chen Luo himself had indeed never been to this world, that's why Yakumo Yukari made this guess.

You need to give me some hints so I can find a suitable entry point in this world.

Yakumo Yukari now understands the importance of intelligence.

Although I had always known this before, its importance was only truly revealed when traversing worlds.

"This... alright, alright, you're such a hassle. Fine, since you just made such a big wish, I'll give you this information for free. But first, let's make it clear, you can't show it to anyone else. Sign the contract first." Chen Luo pulled out a contract with a look of disgust and handed it to Yakumo Yukari.

For the sake of 100 Primogem.

"Seriously? We're such good friends, why would I need a contract for this little thing?"

"Do I know you that well? We've only known each other for less than a month. You old hag!"

"..." Yakumo Yukari remained silent.

I want to punch him, but I can't. It's so frustrating.

After Yakumo Yukari finished signing the contract, Chen Luo handed her a Yakumo Yukari drive.

"Wait, you didn't prepare this all along, did you?" Yakumo Yukari couldn't help but wonder as she watched Chen Luo smoothly pull out the USB drive.
