Chen Luo Goes Fishing; Those Who Take the Bait, Will

Ah, so only the silver one appeared, which is why it only has 1/3 of the divine power.

But...

"But why are they purple sweet potato dumplings?" Chen Luo stroked his chin, looking at the three Sirin in front of him with a puzzled expression.

Sirin herself remains the same as always.

Silver Sirin has silver hair, and her body shape has indeed changed to a normal human form.

But Chen Luo immediately recognized that this was the Himeko version of the Queen of the Void.

Golden Sirin, on the other hand, has long purple hair, but her clothes have been changed to luxurious gold.

"Who are you calling a purple sweet potato dumpling?" Upon hearing Chen Luo's words, Sirin — the Herrscher of Void —whose golden cross pupils Honkai for the second time, looked at Chen Luo with displeasure.

Although Sirin was clearly unhappy, she did not do anything resembling an attack.

"... Little Sirin, you'd better not grow up too fast, or you might turn into a pufferfish." Chen Luo hugged Sirin in her original form with some concern, then stroked her head and sighed.

Sigh, how did Little Sirin evolve into Himeko?

But why did Himeko evolve into pufferfish?

This is absolutely terrifying.

"Tch, a puppeteer who only knows how to control puppets." When she saw that Chen Luo's first choice was the half-human-sized Armed Puppet Sirin, the Herrscher of Void Sirin curled her lip in displeasure.

Chapter 587 Chen Luo Fishing, Those the Willing Will Take the Bait

"Chen Luo, what are you doing?" When Yakumo Yukari excitedly walked into the bar, intending to ask Chen Luo to open a door so she could wander around the Moon World, she found that Chen Luo's behavior in the bar was very strange.

"Fishing," Chen Luo said lazily to Yakumo Yukari, holding a fishing rod in his right hand and looking at a book in his left.

"But why is there a river in the bar?" Yakumo Yukari looked at the small, illusory section of the river that appeared in front of Chen Luo with disbelief.

"Have no idea."

Because I didn't want to explain, I simply said I didn't know.

"I don't know, is this a new feature of the bar? Or some new function?" Yakumo Yukari wondered.

"Stop guessing, okay? You actually believed me when I said I didn't know? Actually, this is a new ability I've gained." Chen Luo explained helplessly in order to prevent Yakumo Yukari, who tends to overthink, from having too much to believe.

"So your new ability is to conjure a river anytime, anywhere? What a trash ability!" Yakumo Yukari retorted.

"You're right in a sense, but conjuring a river anytime, anywhere is only part of this ability." Chen Luo neither shook his head nor nodded.

Since Chen Luo could summon a river the moment he gained the River God Ability, Chen Luo didn't bother to authenticate the entry. As long as he could indeed conjure a river anytime, anywhere, that was fine.

What kind of river it is is not important.

That would be enough to allow Chen Luo to fulfill the abilities of the River God.

"Your abilities are getting more and more bizarre. Alright, stop fishing and come with me to that Moon World. Let's discuss how to win the Holy Grail War," Yakumo Yukari said as she walked towards them.

"The Holy Grail War? You still care about that?" Chen Luo glanced at Yakumo Yukari.

"I don't care about the Holy Grail. That thing is just a collection of magical energy, and it might not even work in a different world, so it's useless to me. What I really want is that hole in the Holy Grail when it's summoned. I want to see if I can enter the Root through that hole." Yakumo Yukari stopped in front of Chen Luo and said.

Because further ahead was that river whose exact nature was unknown, Yakumo Yukari crouched down and carefully examined the illusory river.

Yesterday, Yakumo Yukari experienced firsthand the differences between worlds. Not only would the Gensokyo be unusable in Gensokyo, but even Yakumo Yukari's abilities would be altered to some extent in the Moon World.

So it's not important to fight those Holy Grail War now. What's important is to let Yakumo Yukari go to that world and get used to it, so that she won't be caught off guard when she has to fight because she's not used to the abilities.

Although Yakumo Yukari doesn't particularly like to resort to force, while force may not solve problems, it can certainly deal with the person who raises them.

"Okay, but wait a bit. After I catch the fish, I'll go to the Moon World with you," Chen Luo nodded and said.

"... If you don't want to come with me, just say so. What kind of fish are you trying to catch with that straight fishing hook? Besides, this river isn't even real. There's no way you'll catch any fish." Yakumo Yukari complained, looking at Chen Luo's fishing rod.

Because the river appeared quite ethereal, Yakumo Yukari could also see the state of Chen Luo's fishing rod.

Chen Luo's fishing rod hook was not only straight, but it also only went a little bit into the water. If he could catch a fish with it, Yakumo Yukari would twist off her head and give it to Chen Luo to kick around like a ball.

"Who said that? I've already caught two fish." Chen Luo shook his head.

"Oh, where's the fish?" Yakumo Yukari was taken aback.

"Let it go."

"..." Yakumo Yukari fell silent instantly.

Yakumo Yukari felt that Chen Luo was giving her a textbook example of being stubborn.

"Alright, stop fishing. You'll never catch any fish like this." Looking at Chen Luo's idle appearance, Yakumo Yukari suddenly felt an urge to snap his fishing rod.

So Yakumo Yukari stepped directly onto this illusory river, intending to cross it and crush Chen Luo's fishing rod.

Yakumo Yukari finally understood that this thing was just an illusory river and shouldn't cause any interference to people in the real world.

That's why Chen Luo hasn't caught a fish in all this time.

"Thump!"

The next moment, Yakumo Yukari fell directly into the river.

"Sigh, the third fish has taken the bait." Looking at Yakumo Yukari falling into the river, Chen Luo put away his fishing rod and placed it aside.

After doing all this, Chen Luo disappeared and then reappeared in the river.

Then Chen Luo brought three Yakumo Yukari out of the river.

The real Yakumo Yukari looked completely bewildered.

Both the gold and silver versions of Yakumo Yukari have rather ethereal forms.

"Sigh, I was thinking there might be some exceptions, since Yakumo Yukari's talent is only SS rank and her output is a bit lacking, but I didn't expect that we still couldn't exploit the bug." Chen Luo sighed as he looked at the other two Yakumo Yukari who were about to disappear.

"Chen Luo, what's going on?" Yakumo Yukari looked warily at the two Yakumo Yukari beside her who looked exactly like her, except for a slight difference in color.

"The silver one is an enhanced version of you, and the gold one is an even more enhanced version of you. They were both summoned using my abilities. But don't worry, since your ability level is a bit higher, they'll disappear in a minute at most. No need to worry," Chen Luo said, waving his hand.

"Oh, really? Don't be so certain about anything." Suddenly, Yakumo Yukari sneered.

"Hmm?" Chen Luo turned his head to look at Yakumo Yukari.

"The realm of existence and disappearance." Two voices rang out simultaneously.

Kin Yakumo Yukari and Gin Yakumo Yukari uttered these words at the same time, and at the same time, a strange power was applied to the two of them, and the illusory feeling on their bodies also became much lighter.

"???" Chen Luo looked at the two Yakumo Yukari in surprise.

Good heavens, no wonder Yakumo Yukari is SS-rank Talent Holder in her true form.

What level of talent do these two have? They might even have reached SSS level, even if they're in their gold version!

After all, Yakumo Yukari's abilities are SS rank.

"So, you two can stay in the bar for a long time now? Well, never mind, that's impossible." Chen Luo shook his head, watching the two whose sense of unreality deepened as he spoke.

These two will disappear. Although their abilities are indeed strong enough, at most they can only delay the time of their disappearance, just like how Golden Yvette accelerated her own disappearance.

The duration of this existence can be influenced; otherwise, it would have been Golden Yvette kneeling on the keyboard instead of the original Yvette.

"So this is what you meant by disappearing as soon as possible?" Yakumo Yukari's voice rang in Chen Luo's ear.

"Alright, don't be so wary of yourself. Although if it were me, I might kill both of you." Jin Yakumo Yukari opened her gold folding fan and covered her mouth as she spoke.

"..." Yakumo Yukari didn't say anything, but her expression seemed to convey the same meaning.

"Tsk tsk, it seems like you three don't get along very well." Chen Luo's gaze swept back and forth between the three Yakumo Yukari.

"I understand. Even now, I'm thinking about how to make them both disappear," Yakumo Yukari said to Chen Luo.

"Don't worry, they're both too high-level, they'll just disappear on their own." Chen Luo then looked at Gold and Silver Yakumo Yukari.

"Um, could you two please give me your gold and silver folding fans?" Chen Luo said somewhat embarrassedly to the two Yakumo Yukari.

"... No discussion, goodbye." Kin and Gin Yakumo Yukari simultaneously gave Chen Luo the middle finger and then snapped their fingers.

"The realm between disappearance and existence."

As the two unleashed their abilities, the two illusory figures vanished instantly at an accelerated pace.

"Tsk." Chen Luo curled his lip in displeasure as he watched the two figures disappear.

How stingy.

"Yakumo Yukari, can I borrow your folding fan?" Chen Luo said, extending his hand to Yakumo Yukari.

What do you want to do?

"Just give it to me, I won't hurt you." Under Yakumo Yukari's hesitant gaze, Chen Luo took the folding fan from her and threw it directly into the river.

The next moment, three folding fans, including his main body, appeared in Chen Luo's hand.

Just now, Yakumo Yukari only had a folding fan and a piece of clothing belonging to the other party, so the divine power that Chen Luo received was only the divine power of the folding fan and the clothing.

Because Yakumo Yukari's talent surpassed S-rank, Chen Luo didn't even manage to obtain one-third of the silver divine power; he only obtained the divine power of a folding fan.

"These two are yours." After handing over the original folding fan and the silver folding fan to the other party, Chen Luo took the gold folding fan and returned to his fishing spot.

Yakumo Yukari herself cannot last long, but the folding fan can.

This folding fan possesses some special power, but it's not quite an S-rank item.

The special significance of this gift to Yakumo Yukari is mainly because it was given to Yuyuko by Yakumo Yukari, a small gift with a deep meaning.

"... Chen Luo, explain to me again what exactly happened." Yakumo Yukari hesitated for a moment, then stood next to Chen Luo.

"This is my ability: throw one thing into the river, and I'll conjure up three for you, then ask you if it's gold, silver, or something ordinary."

"The river god from Aesop's Fables? That Hermes?" Yakumo Yukari blurted out instantly.

"So clever."

"Do these three items have the same effect as the original?" Yakumo Yukari asked immediately afterward.

Because Yakumo Yukari suddenly realized a great way to get rich.

"No." Chen Luo shook his head.

"Is that so?" Yakumo Yukari felt a sense of relief despite her disappointment.

After all, if Chen Luo could really replicate three identical things that only looked similar in color, just how overpowered would his ability be?

Throw one Gensokyo in and it becomes three Gensokyo.

Where in the world is there such a good thing?

"What I summoned were the original items, the enhanced items, and the super-enhanced items. For example, this folding fan." Chen Luo opened Yakumoko's folding fan and then waved it gently.

Instantly, countless glowing, pale blue butterflies flew out of the fan.

"Black Death Butterfly? And there are so many of them?" Yakumo Yukari's surprise was palpable.

The folding fan that Yuyuko gave to Yakumo Yukari possesses special power; it does indeed contain a portion of the other person's power. However, it's only for entertainment and not very practical to use it against people.

However, the folding fan in Chen Luo's hand seemed to be quite powerful.

Although it was probably just Yuyuko making a casual move and not taking it seriously.

Even so, isn't that still too outrageous?

"So I already said, the gold one is the super enhanced version. And believe it or not, this fan seems to be a top-tier A-grade item as well." Examining the folding fan in his hand, Chen Luo was quite satisfied.

Since acquiring the River God Ability, Chen Luo felt that he could obtain many A-grade and S-grade items.

Because the fan itself is only grade C, its foundation is relatively poor. Otherwise, if the fan itself were grade B, it would be possible to break through to grade S.

From this perspective, the River God Ability are truly overpowered.

"Is it really that outrageous? Then... how much stuff would you need to duplicate these three items?" Yakumo Yukari asked impatiently.

"Consumption? What's that?" Chen Luo looked at Yakumo Yukari with confusion.

What kind of consumption?

"It's the cost you incur when you duplicate an item."

"But I didn't consume any energy when I copied the items. On the contrary, because I performed my divine duties, I also gained divine power equivalent to a universal energy source."

"??? What kind of powerful ability is this? You're telling me that not only is there no energy consumption, but I can even gain something? This doesn't conform to the law of conservation of energy." Yakumo Yukari was a little dumbfounded.

Although everyone says my Boundary Manipulation is bugged and outrageous, isn't your ability even more outrageous?
