"No need, I've thought about it carefully, so I'll pass." Chen Luo shook his head.

Why?

"..."

Because I feel sorry for him, what else could it be?

"Ahem, because you are the Herrscher of Knowledge, and the talent of the Herrscher of Knowledge is inherent to you, I'm afraid that cutting the ability seed from you would cause some damage to your body, so I'll leave it at that. My puppets don't lack this ability, so having a few more or less won't be a problem," Chen Luo said.

Dolls are dolls, Herrscher of Knowledge are Herrscher of Knowledge; Chen Luo can tell which is more important.

Besides, there's so much stuff in the talent, skill, and knowledge lists in the Collective Network now, they definitely can't download it all. Although the Herrscher of Time's abilities are indeed useful, Chen Luo knows they don't care.

Care? It's no use caring!

Why would Chen Luo make ability slices for the Herrscher of Knowledge just because the doll wanted them?

However, it seems that the Herrscher of Knowledge from the Previous Era could indeed be sliced up.

Anyway, Chen Luo wasn't familiar with the Herrscher of Knowledge of the Previous Era.

And it seems that in just a few months, the time will come for the lovely Herrscher of Knowledge to appear.

Two Herrscher of Knowledge, plus two inner demons, are still no match for one Herrscher of Knowledge?

"Huh? Why are you all looking at me like that?" Chen Luo, who was pondering how to cut the ability slices of the Herrscher of Knowledge from the Previous Era, looked up and found that everyone on the second floor was looking at him with a strange gaze.

"Chen Luo, you don't actually think you... Never mind, whatever makes you happy. That's just how people are," Yakumo Yukari sighed, then said nothing more.

Could Chen Luo really think that in the eyes of a group of people with an average age of over 1000, his emotional management is that good?

Well, the main reason is that Yakumo Yukari raised the average age of everyone present. Even if each person here lived an average of 1000 years, Yakumo Yukari would still be over 1000 years old.

"Especially you, the way you look at me is the strangest. Tell me, what happened?" Chen Luo turned to look at the Herrscher of Knowledge beside him after seeing Yakumo Yukari hesitate to speak.

"Emmm... it's something that can only be understood intuitively, not explained in words." The Herrscher of Knowledge shook his head and didn't say anything more.

How could you possibly say something like that?

On another note, has Chen Luo forgotten that he has already deactivated his invincible state in the bar?

After all, Chen Luo was going to take action against Old Worm and Sakura Ying.

Therefore, the invincibility state must be lifted.

Once the invincibility ends...

This means that others can use their abilities to observe Chen Luo.

For example, the "Knowledge of the Herrscher of Knowledge" ability of the Herrscher of Knowledge.

Because Chen Luo also possesses the abilities of the Herrscher of Knowledge and the Heart Demon, the Herrscher of Knowledge can always easily achieve emotional resonance with Chen Luo.

Especially when Chen Luo was thinking outside the box, and when the Herrscher of Knowledge was not in Chen Luo's sea of consciousness.

"Can you stop smiling so weirdly? Be normal." Chen Luo panicked a little when he saw the Herrscher of Knowledge's somewhat pleased smile.

What exactly went wrong?

"I'm perfectly normal." The Herrscher of Knowledge tilted her head, trying to get away with it by being cute.

"Um, let's change the subject. Let's discuss the Moon World." Sensing the strange atmosphere spreading, Chen Luo quickly said to everyone.

Let's put our words on the table and talk about it. What does it mean if I'm the only one who doesn't know?

"Ahem, speaking of the Moon World, I just remembered, the Moon World actually has puppeteers too, did you know that?"

"We don't know, and we're not interested either," Yvette shook her head.

"..." Chen Luo stared at the other person after seeing them speak.

"Okay, I'm interested."

Poverty and lowliness cannot sway one, nor can power and force subdue one; these principles cannot be applied to puppets.

"Since you're interested, I'll tell you about it..." Chen Luo began to talk about the Grand Puppeteer with a benevolent expression.

Let me tell you, sometimes dolls are just so useful.

Moreover, Chen Luo's words were indeed useful, because most of the people present did not know much about the Moon World and were quite curious. Although the profession of Grand Puppeteer was not very relevant to them, the concepts of the Mage's Association and Magicians derived from it, as well as how to enter the Root, made everyone listen with great interest.

Except for those Herrscher of Knowledge.

Those Herrscher of Knowledge are more interested in Chen Luo's hypocrisy.

However, after being pointed at by the gun of the Friendship Revolver for 5 seconds, the Herrscher of Knowledge immediately put on the appearance of a good student.

The Friendship Revolver a pain that will never fade.

"... Although the existence of Grand Puppeteer has indeed reached its limit in this world, their path is still quite different from that of the Puppet Masters I have taken."

The Grand rank here is somewhat similar to, but not exactly the same as, the Grand rank of Grand Servant. Here, Grand rank refers to the highest rank among Magus —Grand Rank.

That is, grand.

In the modern Moon World, there is indeed a Grand Doll named Touko Aozaki.

However, the closer the Moon World gets to modern times, the more its mystery dissipates.

Although the Grand Puppeteer still has a high enough prestige, it can't compare to the pinnacle of the Age of Gods Magus.

However, he is still Grand Puppeteer after all, so he should know a lot.

The knowledge the other party possesses should be able to provide Chen Luo with a lot of inspiration.

Of course, the most important thing is the concept Craft Essence [Grand Puppeteer].

Although the effect of this concept costume in the game is not particularly outstanding, it might be modified, just like the Stigmata Puppeteer.

Who knows, she might be a perfect match for Chen Luo.

For example, directly increasing your puppet's health by 100%...

"Sigh, if conditions allowed, I really want to become Grand Puppeteer," Chen Luo sighed.

[Identity Application in progress...]

"Hmm, what notification sound?"

"Holy crap, wait, stop..." Chen Luo shouted almost instantly.

[Ding! Identity Application successful]

This time, the Identity Application was unusually fast.

[Generifying Identity Application task]

[1000 Primogem have been deducted]

"Damn it, you tricked me!" Chen Luo was dumbfounded.

Chen Luo's mention of "Grand Puppeteer" refers to a concept costume, not that he wants to become Grand Puppeteer.

Chen Luo snatched the household registration book from the hand of the Herrscher of Knowledge, who was slacking off out of boredom, and wanted to tear it up.

This thing should just be left to gather dust in the warehouse when it's not in use.

The intelligent system is absolutely terrible.

Moreover, it can be activated even when it's not in one's own hands.

Moreover, Chen Luo felt...

"While applying for the status of a Grand Puppeteer isn't impossible, I have a feeling I've been tricked by someone in charge of approving Identity Application," Chen Luo said unhappily.

"And why should 1,000 Primogem be deducted? This Grand Puppeteer is priced the same as the Honkai Consciousness, who can tolerate this?" This is what Chen Luo doesn't understand the most.

Grand Puppeteer, what makes you so special?

Chapter 557 The [Reality] and [Falsehood] of the Honkai Consciousness

Chen Luo could tolerate spending 1000 Primogem to Identity Application of Honkai Consciousness, since obtaining the identity of a Honkai Consciousness might allow him to obtain a lot of Herrscher Authority for free. But how dare you, a Grand Puppeteer, spend 1000 Primogem?

Do you deserve it?

Let alone Grand Puppeteer, even Counter Force... uh, never mind, I can't give examples of that, and I don't know who's really valuable.

In short, what right does the Grand Puppeteer have?

"You can cheat me all you want, but you can't cheat me out of my Primogem!" Chen Luo roared in fury.

[The reason for applying for the first identity is due to personal characteristics (Herrscher), closeness to the world (Honkai Energy Adaptation 200%), first-time application discount (10% off), etc., for a total discount of 0.5%.]

[Subsequent Identity Application have returned to normal]

"What... Ah, what did you say? The original price for Identity Application Honkai Consciousness was 20,000 Primogem?!"

The "Honkai Consciousness" applied for in this identity mission is the true "Honkai Consciousness" that governs the Honkai energy of this real world, the unifier of all Honkai energy and Honkai phenomena in this world. Honkai, as a phenomenon for selecting civilizations, will make one the dominant force in this mechanism upon successful Identity Application. Therefore, it is worthwhile.

"Oh, then it's alright." Chen Luo immediately stopped his rage.

Ah, I see. That makes perfect sense.

From a purely rational perspective, Honkai Consciousness can create Herrscher (a small consciousness arises within Fu Hua's body), and the price of Herrscher itself is at least 10,000 Primogem. So why is Honkai Consciousness itself only worth 1,000 Primogem?

But what exactly is "Honkai Consciousness"?

Is there still a false Honkai Consciousness?

This description feels a bit off... Could there be some hidden trap here?

"I was actually thinking of applying to become the Root, since the maximum loss would be 1000 Primogem, maybe double or even several times more, which I could afford. But..."

[I have already applied for an identity task; I cannot obtain a new identity task until it is completed.]

Before Chen Luo could finish speaking, a notification sound popped up, smothering Chen Luo in surprise.

"...WTF! You actually applied for me to become the Root?" Looking at the seemingly ordinary household registration book in his hand, Chen Luo threw it directly into the depths of the warehouse.

Go to hell!

How do I turn on smart mode on this piece of junk?

Sooner or later, this piece of junk will bankrupt them!

"Applying to become the Root costs me at least 20,000 Primogem? I can't afford that!"

Although you can get these Primogem back after completing the task, and even get an extra share as a reward, who knows how difficult this task is?

If you think about it carefully, if Chen Luo weren't the traveler who caused trouble everywhere, how desperate would it be if Chen Luo tried to stop a Traveler with the exact same abilities as himself?

They can't be killed by fighting, they can't be caught, they can travel all over the world to get reinforcements, and they even have countless angel self-destruct vehicles.

What kind of world parasites are these?

Oh, what? I'm that world parasite? Oh well, never mind then.

It can't be called a "world parasite," but if you replace someone else with Chen Luo's abilities, the limits they might reach could indeed be considered a "world parasite."

But Chen Luo didn't develop in that direction. Chen Luo was really wronged. Chen Luo didn't do anything. Chen Luo was just fulfilling his own wish. Moreover, Chen Luo was selective in fulfilling other people's wishes. He didn't just grant wishes to anyone.

If Chen Luo is truly a parasite of the world, then the first Puppet Transformation should be Mei.

The current civilization likely turned Kiana, Mei, Bronya into Puppet Transformation when they were not strong enough.

Oh, right, and Durandal was half-dead from being bombed by the Insanely Modified Thermobaric Bomb.

And Otto...

After Puppet Transformation, they squeezed the world's resources to the extreme.

If such a Traveler really existed, Chen Luo probably wouldn't be able to defeat him.

Of course, they could escape.

Therefore, theoretically speaking, the task of applying to become Honkai Consciousness is really difficult, perhaps even despair-inducing.

Therefore, it can be deduced just how desperately difficult it is to become the root cause.

[Identity task application completed]

[Holy Grail War]: Use your Master qualification to summon a Servant from this world through the Holy Grail, ensuring that the Servant does not die in the Holy Grail War before the Holy Grail appears, participate in the Holy Grail War with the Servant, gain an advantageous position in the Holy Grail War, and finally obtain the Holy Grail after it appears, purifying the World's Evil in the Holy Grail.

Reward: 2000 Primogem
