Herrscher of Sentience: I Don't Want to Work Hard Anymore. Take Care of Me. (Continued)

"Hmm, it's a secret. Sigh, I haven't seen my parents in ages. I wonder how they're doing? Do you think I should talk to the president of that university for them? It's just borrowing a couple of books, and they won't even lend them. How stingy!"

"Emmm, never mind, it's someone else's book anyway, it's normal not to lend it." Chen Luo shook his head halfway through his sentence.

Chen Luo also wanted to check if his parents had gotten any curses or anything from their long archaeological work.

Ancient tombs sound "dirty" to me.

And who knows, maybe your own parents are some kind of hidden masters, walking among thousands of ancient tombs without getting a single "zongzi" (a type of rice dumpling) on them.

"Alright, let's get down to business now. Tell me, if I were to apply to become S-rank Talent User, what would be the most suitable option?" After Chen Luo sat back down on the sofa, he picked up the little fox next to him, and while patting the little fox's bottom with his slipper, he asked the Herrscher of Knowledge.

Why did you hit the little fox?

Hmm? Do you need a reason to beat up a little fox?

Of course, Chen Luo wasn't a tyrant. The main reason he beat the little fox was that the little fox had chewed up Chen Luo's bed again.

This is what Chen Luo discovered when he went up to the second floor to find a suitable container in his room.

So they dragged him out and beat him right away.

Just kidding, if it wasn't the little fox who broke it, who else could it be but Little Sirin?

"I don't know, you seem to have a lot of S-rank Talent, don't you?" The Herrscher of Knowledge shook her head.

"If I remember correctly, you have six Herrscher Authority, right? Void, Lightning, Consciousness, Domination, Restraint, and Corruption. You also have three Herrscher Core: Flame, Death, and Wind. In addition, your Void Archive possesses abilities that even surpass those of the Herrscher of Reason. So, it seems like the only things missing are Ice and Rock, right?"

"And then there's Elysia, the Herrscher of Humanity," Chen Luo added.

This information wasn't something he learned from watching Honkai Impact 3rd, because the story of Honkai Impact 3rd hasn't reached this point yet; it was told to Chen Luo by the Herrscher of Thunder.

"In addition to the six Herrscher Authority, there is also the Destiny Ability, the ability of infinite resurrection, the evolution of your Herrscher of Domination ability, and the River God Ability you recently acquired," the Herrscher of Knowledge said, counting on her fingers.

"Sirin, are you hungry?" Chen Luo asked Little Sirin after beating up the little fox and giving her a plate of fried tofu as compensation.

Little Sirin, Book of Cang Xuan, and Xiao You weren't in the living room just now, mainly because they were all taking a nap on the second floor. As a result, Chen Luo woke them all up when he went upstairs.

"Hey, listen to me." The Herrscher of Knowledge slapped the table.

"Oh, go on."

"And your puppeteer..."

"Wait a minute, being a puppeteer isn't an innate ability, it's a profession. Also, I have a B-level Butterfly Transformation skill and an A-level cultivation level," Chen Luo continued.

"Speaking of this..." Chen Luo said, while taking two pieces of something off his forehead.

"This is the manifestation of their innate Boundary Manipulation. What do you think would happen if you threw them into the river?" Chen Luo had Sirin in his left arm, Cang Xuan sitting in his lap, a little fox lying on his lap, and Xiao You massaging Chen Luo from behind.

With difficulty, Chen Luo freed his right hand and threw the two ability seeds into the summoned river.

Immediately afterward, Chen Luo placed all his personal accessories into the sofa, disappeared from sight, and then reappeared in the river.

When he came out, he was holding 6 Talent Seed in his hand.

In a sense, Chen Luo, who possesses the Stripping Ability, can strip everything away.

Theoretically speaking, as long as it's not an object involving concepts, Chen Luo could conjure up three of them if he threw them into the river.

Concept items are at most just slightly weaker in terms of enhancement.

Therefore, Chen Luo now has 6 Talent Seed, which means that Chen Luo's guess was correct.

Throwing Talent Seed into the river does indeed yield three times the number of Talent Seed.

"Alright, now we have two more S-rank Talent." Chen Luo looked up at the Herrscher of Knowledge and said, looking at the Talent Seed in his hand.

"... This is way too convenient! Upgrading like this is soulless." The Herrscher of Knowledge slammed her hand on the table again.

"You agree, right, Primogem?" The Herrscher of Knowledge turned to look at Primogem.

Morgan did not answer.

That's right.

But the attitude is very clear.

"The master is always right," Sirin retorted.

"... Sirin, you little bootlicker."

"Sirin is not a bootlicker." Sirin made a face at the Herrscher of Knowledge.

"Exactly, exactly. Sirin's is like a warm, cozy cotton-padded jacket, unlike yours, which is like a drafty old winter coat." Chen Luo nodded in agreement.

"Come on, Xiao Xuan, show your appreciation." Chen Luo patted the head of the drowsy Cang Xiao Xuan next to him.

"No way."

"Quantum Canned Food..."

This item was drawn by Chen Luo from the gacha pool; it was only a two-star item.

However, the scent of this two-star item seems to have an extremely fatal attraction for all Armed Puppet.

Most importantly, Chen Luo discovered that bars could actually make this kind of thing.

As expected of a bar!

"Chen Luo is the greatest in the world!" Cang Xiao Xuan instantly stood up and cheered.

Foodie Cang Xiaoxuan makes her appearance.

"Xiao You?"

"Yes, yes, my dear master, whatever you say is correct," Xiao You said rather perfunctorily.

"A bunch of shameless bastards." The Herrscher of Knowledge cast a contemptuous glance at the few puppets present.

"However, speaking of which, it seems one of your two golden Talent Seed is about to disappear," the Herrscher of Knowledge said, pointing to Chen Luo's Talent Seed.

"Ah, you mean this? Since the gold quality reached SS rank, isn't it normal for it to disappear?" Chen Luo shrugged helplessly.

Chen Luo just threw in two Talent Seed.

The B-level Butterfly Transformation talent has been upgraded from B-level to A-level and S-level.

However, after this ability evolved to S-rank [Break Cocoon into Butterfly], Fang Fu lost its potential for further evolution. After becoming a 5-star, its ability was only greatly enhanced. It could still only be used as an auxiliary accessory to Chen Luo's Puppet Ability, especially since Chen Luo did not use insect magic.

But this S-rank Talent seems to strangely complement Mobius's resurrection ability.

Evolve once you die, evolve once you die.

Although the degree of evolution may not be very high, and it is unlikely that one can evolve to a talent ability above S-rank, it seems that magic power, mental power, and physical strength can be enhanced.

Isn't this the infinite evolution that Mobius has always hoped for?

Ugh, I can't tell Mobius about this.

To prevent the other party from having any ulterior motives and wanting to become a puppet.

However, it wouldn't be impossible to re-download this B-rank Talent ability and then create an S-rank Talent to give to Mobius.

But I have a feeling that this will cause the threat level to spike...

This gave Chen Luo a slight headache.

Rong Chen Luo thought it over carefully: when would be the best time to give the Snake Snake to him?

After evolving twice, the A-level Boundary Manipulation became S-rank Talent and SS-rank Talent respectively.

This was not unexpected for Chen Luo, since his Boundary Manipulation was SS-rank Talent. After strengthening it for so long, it wasn't unreasonable for him to have strengthened himself back to his original level.

However, this means retaining the A-grade Talent Seed so that it can be used to summon the golden SS rank ability seed again in the future.

Thinking about it carefully, this River God Talent, combined with Chen Luo's Stripping Ability, could completely amplify a weak but very useful talent to an exaggerated degree.

It just feels like cheating.

"What's wrong, Xiao Shi? What are you thinking about again?" After absorbing the two S-rank Talent, Chen Luo asked the Herrscher of Knowledge seemed to be confused.

"Alo, I don't want to try anymore," the Herrscher of Knowledge suddenly said, looking up.

"Why so suddenly? But if you don't want to work hard, then don't. I'll support you," Chen Luo said after a moment of surprise.

"As expected, I knew it. You're the best to me, A-Luo." The Herrscher of Knowledge stood up from the sofa, ran to Chen Luo's side, moved all the dolls around Chen Luo to another sofa, and then sat down right next to Chen Luo, making a face at the dolls.

Look at it now...

Who is the rightful wife?

Looking at the Herrscher of Knowledge next to Chen Luo, Xiao You and the Book of Cang Xuan looked indifferent, but Sirin did pout and her eyes turned golden.

The Herrscher of Knowledge.

"I will definitely support you, but why did you suddenly say that just now?" Chen Luo tilted his head and asked.

"Alo, you might as well just strip my Herrscher of Knowledge talent off and throw it into the river. That way, I can become a top-tier S-rank Talent User with my silver talent, and with a little more breakthrough, I can become SS-rank Talent Holder," the Herrscher of Knowledge said to Chen Luo.

"...Bao, what kind of wild ideas are you having? Who are you? You are the Herrscher of Knowledge! You stripped away the Herrscher Authority, what are you left with? Do you think you're some kind of player who just throws away Talent Seed like I do?" Chen Luo looked at the Herrscher of Knowledge with a wry smile.

Chen Luo can casually remove Talent Seed and throw them into the river because Chen Luo has a large number of Talent Seed, and they are not really related to Chen Luo.

Even if it's the puppeteer who's currently most involved with Chen Luo, losing that profession wouldn't be a major blow to Chen Luo. But the Herrscher of Knowledge is a different story.

"But my body has been reshaped by the Space-Time Turbulence, so there shouldn't be any problems, right? Besides, I'm now both the Herrscher of Knowledge and the Demon of the Heart. Even if you take away the Herrscher of Knowledge part, you'll still have the Demon of the Heart." The Herrscher of Knowledge felt that her line of thinking was correct.

"But have you ever thought about this? The gap between S-rank Talent and SS-rank Talent is like an insurmountable chasm. So your silver version is only the top S-level Talent User, with Primogem price of 19,999, not even breaking 20,000."

"But if you wait until you reach SS-rank Talent Holder through special abilities, and my talent is also unlocked, and if you find a safe way to extract your talent and throw in the SS-rank Talent, wouldn't you be able to obtain a talent that could potentially reach SSS-rank Talent?" Chen Luo said, stroking the Herrscher of Knowledge's hair.

Kids really don't understand math at all.

Talent, no matter who it is, will always have a limit.

The same applies to the Herrscher's talent.

There is no such thing as someone who will necessarily grow as long as they work hard.

Durandal is an exception; she is the world's favorite daughter, and even she has her limits.

Although the Herrscher of Knowledge will gain many benefits by following Chen Luo to other worlds to strengthen herself, what if one day she can no longer strengthen herself, or even if her SS-rank Talent has already reached its limit?

SS-rank Talent is already terrifying, just like Chen Luo's Domination Ability. Although the puppeteer part of the reason is his Domination Ability, it is still really exaggerated.

Although SS rank might sound sufficient, Chen Luo was absolutely willing to grant his people even stronger abilities.

As long as he continues to accumulate divine power, Chen Luo's River God Talent will eventually unlock its full form.

Perhaps Chen Luo can actually make the Herrscher of Knowledge become an SSS-rank Talent user in the future.

While it's possible that the Herrscher of Knowledge's talent is at most at the top SS rank, what if...?

"So what you need to do now is eat more Inner Demon Seed and more chocolate bars." As Chen Luo spoke, he took out another Inner Demon Seed from his Puppet Collection Vault, while the Demon in Chen Luo's Puppet Collection Vault had died repeatedly.

After becoming the puppeteer of the other party, Chen Luo realized just how heinous the puppet's crimes were.

She instigated her son to kill his father, then instigated the protective mother who witnessed the incident to kill her grandparents who also witnessed it, and finally instigated her son to kill his mother who did not resist.

Ultimately, they devoured each other's souls along with the darkness within each other's hearts.

It must be said that this is a rather simple and efficient method, which seems to be perfectly acceptable for dealing with inner demons.

But Chen Luo was very unhappy.

I'm just unhappy, so what's it to you?

"Master, what kind of river is this?" Sirin flew to Chen Luo's side and asked, pointing curiously at the illusory river in front of them.

"I don't know, but it's a river anyway. And if you jump in, you can see a stronger version of yourself. Little Sirin, do you want to give it a try?" Chen Luo asked, rubbing Sirin's cheek.

"Really?"

"Of course, why would I lie to you?" Chen Luo nodded.

To be honest, Chen Luo was quite curious about what would happen to Sirin if she went in.

Ultimate enhanced version of the Armed Puppet?

"Okay, I'll give it a try." Children are always bursting with curiosity, and with Chen Luo's assurance, Sirin carefully jumped into the illusory river.

The next moment, Chen Luo, who felt himself being summoned, reappeared in the river, along with three figures beside him.

Divine power has been gained!

Wait a minute, why is there so little?

Chen Luo paused for a moment, then looked at the three figures and instantly understood.
