Yukari Yakumo, Tricked into Selling Herself
"What do you think a six-star concept god is? What do you think the officially recognized strongest support is? If it weren't for the fact that I haven't accumulated divine power for long and my own strength is still a bit weak, I could have summoned three of you at the same time and never disappeared." Chen Luo rolled his eyes at Yakumo Yukari.
Do you understand what it means to be the best support player?
To be honest, Chen Luo regrets it now that he's only just drawn this 6-star item.
But if you draw it too early, you might not get the River God.
Looking back now, wasn't the auspicious day Chen Luo chose a Fire Day? And it was even the Fire Hour on a Fire Day.
11:00-13:00 is the noon hour, which belongs to the element of fire.
However, the mystical magic circle that Chen Luo carved under his feet was a reversal magic circle.
At the same time, it also brings together three of the rivers, lakes, and seas...
While the vast majority of the credit should go to [River, Lake, Sea], there might actually be some mystical help involved.
"Theoretically speaking, could you replicate three Gensokyo?" Yakumo Yukari asked, sounding slightly anxious.
After all, if it were a super-enhanced version of Gensokyo, perhaps there would be no need to worry about the problem of it eventually breaking down.
"Jingle!"
"Theoretically, there's no problem, but... wait a minute, it seems like the fourth fish is coming." Chen Luo looked up at the newcomer.
"..."
Chen Luo just said he caught two fish, and now he says it's the fourth fish, so... the third fish is me?
No wonder it's a straight hook.
They really know how to manipulate those the Willing Will Take the Bait.
Thinking of this, Yakumo Yukari rolled her eyes at Chen Luo.
Chapter 588 Yakumo Yukari, tricked into selling herself
"Emmm..." Yakumo Yukari squatted down next to Chen Luo's seat without caring about her image, and then watched helplessly as Chen Luo tricked another person into the river, just like he had tricked her earlier.
What does "The Willing Will Take the Bait" mean?
This is called "The Willing Will Take the Bait"!
"Chen Luo, can I break your fishing rod? I'll give you a new one later." Chen Luo Yakumo Yukari asked, pointing at Chen Luo's fishing rod as he led three people out of the river.
"That won't do."
After Chen Luo refused, Yakumo Yukari continued to stare at the fishing rod.
Chen Luo then placed the three Theresa on the other side of the river, and then dispersed the other two Theresa.
Three Theresa, three Durandal, it's so noisy.
However, is it true that, apart from Yu Du Chen, Oath of Judah can only be copied in silver form and not in gold form?
It seems that the Divine Key has quite a lot of potential.
However, upon closer reflection, Chen Luo understood the Void Archive after exceeding the limit.
"So you only coveted the body of the Oath of Judah?" Theresa looked at Chen Luo incredulously, who had only taken the Judgement of Thunder.
"Alright, stop fooling around. We'll paint this silver Judgement of Thunder gold later, and you can lend it to your grandma." After ruffling Theresa's hair, Chen Luo flicked her forehead.
"Grandma..." Theresa's gaze instantly became complicated.
I, Theresa, am already over 40 years old, and suddenly I have a grandmother.
But thinking about it carefully, Grandpa is over 500 years old, so the problem isn't too big.
However, it seems that her grandmother is actually younger than her.
"Speaking of which, how's Kallen doing lately? Didn't I promise her and Yae Sakura a chance to travel to Different World? She hasn't come back to me to fulfill that promise yet," Chen Luo asked curiously as he sat back down at his fishing spot.
"Well... Ka... My grandma just came back to life, so she's quite curious about everything. So if we're going to go to Different World, we'll probably have to wait a while."
"And recently I heard from Amber that my grandfather doesn't work much anymore, and he even took an irregular long leave. Yae Sakura also asked me for leave directly. Although my grandfather told me not to approve his leave, but... I've never paid Yae Sakura a salary, so how can I refuse to approve her leave?" Theresa said helplessly.
"What! You didn't pay Yae Sakura's salary? You heartless boss!" Chen Luo roared in fury.
"She hasn't even been working for a month yet, where am I going to get the salary to pay her? And is that really what you're most concerned about?"
"Oh, it hasn't been a month yet? Then it's alright." Chen Luo instantly regained his expressionless demeanor.
Damn, it hasn't even been a month yet?
It feels like several years have passed.
"But then again, Otto's idea is quite bizarre. Not granting him leave, it's really amazing that he came up with it." Chen Luo clicked his tongue in amazement.
"Alright, would you like a glass of golden, enhanced, super-delicious bitter melon juice?"
"Yes!" Theresa raised her hand instantly.
[Ding! You have a new request!]
"Alright, the fourth fish has taken the bait. Let's get back to our previous topic. What did you say?" Chen Luo turned to Yakumo Yukari and asked.
"Can I break your fishing rod? I don't know why, but the more I look at it, the angrier I get," Yakumo Yukari said, somewhat puzzled.
"Oh, this is a three-star item I drew. Its effect is to incite anger in others, so I can fish more effectively," Chen Luo said.
[Wife's (Girlfriend's) Anger]: Fishing again! Fishing again! What else do you do all day besides fishing? Is fishing more important than me?
Effect: When a man is fishing in front of a female friend (with a discount of less than 20%), the longer she looks at his fishing rod, the more she wants to break it.
If you look away from the boom for 10 seconds, the effect will reset to zero and be recalculated.
"Oh, I forgot to tell you, if you close your eyes for 10 seconds now, you won't have this urge to break the boom. At least the urge won't be as strong," Chen Luo said to Yakumo Yukari.
"And you, Nata, stop staring at the boom bar. Close your eyes for ten seconds," Chen Luo said to Raven, who was sitting at the bar.
Chen Luo caught two fish before Yakumo Yukari.
The first one is Raven, and the second one is Durandal.
While the benefits of this approach certainly can't compare to simply telling them about the river's effects and having them throw things into it, it's still quite interesting.
Because Chen Luo was surrounded by rivers, anyone who wanted to rush over and break Chen Luo's fishing rod would have to cross the river.
The process was flawless.
After closing her eyes for 10 seconds, Yakumo Yukari opened them and instinctively avoided looking at the fishing rod.
This thing is pretty good.
"Oh right, what I really wanted to ask wasn't to break this fishing rod, but rather, could you replicate Gensokyo into three separate places?" Yakumo Yukari asked, ignoring the fishing rod.
"Well, as I just said, theoretically it's possible."
But then you added a "but".
Yakumo Yukari heard those two words very clearly.
"But first you need to find a river where you can throw Gensokyo in, and second, you need to wait for my talent to unlock another stage," Chen Luo said.
"My talent is the River God. First, you have to throw the item into the river before I can copy two more for you. Moreover, the two layers of barriers in Gensokyo have a high-quality ability, so it's not certain that I can copy two more and guarantee that the other party won't disappear. The best outcome is that the gold disappears and the silver remains; the worst outcome is that neither the gold nor the silver exists," Chen Luo said.
Chen Luo was able to completely replicate the Earth in the Puppet Collection Vault without it disappearing because that Earth was a special landscape that could be disassembled, just like a Lego toy.
Because in the Puppet Collection Vault, even if the earth isn't spherical, people can still rest on it.
Once each part of this Earth is separated, the level of each individual will not exceed S-level, so they will not disappear.
But Gensokyo is different. The two barriers of Gensokyo cannot be separated. Gensokyo cannot be established if either one is missing. At the same time, Gensokyo itself cannot be dismantled.
Moreover, although Gensokyo doesn't occupy a very large area, it is indeed quite large for the size of ordinary items.
The more effort Yakumo Yukari puts into Gensokyo, the higher the overall level of Gensokyo.
"In other words, there's actually a limit to your ability..."
"Don't misunderstand, it's not that my abilities have a limit, it's that I have a limit, but my abilities have no limit. It's just that my skills are too weak," Chen Luo said, shaking his head.
"You? You're bad?" Yakumo Yukari glanced at Chen Luo.
Are you serious?
"Yakumo Yukari, don't imagine the world to be so small, okay? To true powerhouses, not only me, but even you are weak. Although it's true that you can't compare combat strength across worlds, there are always those outrageous beings, and we might actually encounter them in the future," Chen Luo said.
It's like comparing someone who plays Dragon Ball to someone who plays with drills.
Even someone who plays with Unit-01, although their mecha seems no match for Yakumo Yukari, still has connections to the world.
The Human 'Orange Juice' Project – are you scared yet?
In short, comparing combat strength across worlds is not advisable, but it is very likely that such a situation will occur in the future.
Even if you encounter the leader of a SOS Brigade, you might still get knocked out by him in his own world.
Where can you go to reason with this?
"So what do you need for your growth? I'll help you get it, but in return, you have to help me create a super-enhanced version of Gensokyo," Yakumo Yukari asked Chen Luo.
"Unlocking my power requires two things, either one of which will suffice. Either you accumulate enough divine power, or you become stronger. You can't help with strength, but you can try to help with divine power. In short, just keep throwing things into the river, and I'll keep conjuring things for you. You'll gain three times the amount, while I'll gain divine power."
"All in all, you won't lose out."
"However, I will also charge a fee. If you can conjure up gold or silver, the original body and the silver are yours, and the gold is mine. If you can only conjure up silver, then the original body is yours, and the silver is mine. The more precious the item, the more divine power you will obtain," Chen Luo said calmly.
Chen Luo had no need to hide this matter, because it was actually simpler, more direct, and more straightforward than accumulating Primogem.
Anyway, if you don't throw it away, I won't beg you; there are plenty of people who want to throw it away.
"Is that really true? Does that mean you'll eventually unlock a higher level of talent potential?"
"Do you even understand the value of being called the strongest support? But that's what I say, who knows if you can wait that long? To put it bluntly, Gensokyo might have something happen at any time, right?"
"..."
"We've known each other for so long, I'm not going to cheat you. You can do it or not, it's up to you whether you want to throw things in there. Even if you don't, I'll still get you a golden version of Gensokyo, but you'll have to find the river yourself, and I don't even know when I'll unlock my talent cap," Chen Luo said quite directly.
[Ding! You have a new request!]
[Super Gensokyo]: Help Yakumo Yukari create a Golden Gensokyo. A silver one is also acceptable, but the reward will be reduced.
Rewards: Gold: 3000 Primogem + Random Rewards + 40 Affinity with Yakumo Yukari + SS- Boundary Manipulation
Silver: 1500 Primogem + Random Rewards + 30 Affinity with Yakumo Yukari S- Boundary Manipulation Talent Seed
Difficulty: 5 stars / 4 stars
Goodness, the difference in rewards is huge!
However, apart from Otto, we finally got another five-star mission.
This shows that Yakumo Yukari Gensokyo loves Gensokyo deeply.
But... does this count as selling oneself?
The other party is many times older than Otto, and given their obsession with Gensokyo, it's not surprising that the resulting request is a five-star request.
Even if you control the life and death of Gensokyo, you might be able to use it to threaten Yakumo Yukari make her do this or that.
The prerequisite is that you have the strength and won't be silently killed by Yakumo Yukari.
"Oh right, did I forget to tell Yakumo Yukari that I can dispel the summoned gold and silver items?" Chen Luo suddenly realized.
After all, those two gold and silver Yakumo Yukari dispersed themselves on their own initiative.
Although Theresa was indeed dispelled by Chen Luo, Yakumo Yukari's attention seemed to be focused on the fishing rod just now.
Moreover, the act of making this request seems more like an impulsive purchase based on the sudden discovery of something beloved.
Chen Luo had originally planned to have Yakumo Yukari clear the bullet hell game and see if he could increase the rewards, but thinking of this, he immediately accepted the task.
No, I can't let Yakumo Yukari go back on her word.
"Bring me the Book of Contracts, let's sign it." This time, it was Yakumo Yukari who brought it up first.
"Hmm, why do we need to sign a contract? You know my logic, don't you?" Chen Luo was taken aback.
Chen Luo felt that his image as someone who always helps others should be solidified enough.
"I cannot expect your moral standards from you, especially when it comes to such a significant matter as Gensokyo," Yakumo Yukari said, shaking her head.
"Alright then." Chen Luo nodded.
