Yukari Yakumo's Contract of Servitude

Although Elysia Kevin's experiences are now being written in the Friend's Ledger, can Chen Luo see them?

Once the facts are known, the outcome is determined.

As long as I don't look at it, the destiny is not determined.

Although it may sound mysterious and unscientific, the truth may be that simple.

Because once you know this answer, you will be more or less influenced by it.

Therefore, when the future Chen Luo writes a letter to his present self, he never writes about the major events that will happen in the future.

This was the most plausible guess Chen Luo could think of.

Moreover, if something he didn't want to see really happened, even if it went against fate, Chen Luo believed that his future self would remind him.

To hell with fate!

But if this final fate aligns with Chen Luo's aesthetic preferences, then naturally there's no need to inform his past self.

This is similar to the saying, "A twitching left eye means good fortune, divine protection; a twitching right eye means disaster, superstition."

Soon, Chen Luo's first customer arrived.

"Shenhe, do you want to give it a try too?" Chen Luo greeted the girl who was staring intently at his fishing rod as she walked up to him.

"Hmm." Shenhe nodded, then glanced at Chen Luo's fishing rod every now and then.

"... I really should have written this rule down. Now Shenhe, close your eyes for 10 seconds." Seeing the other person's eyes fixed on his fishing rod, Chen Luo knew that the other person was also affected.

After using it a few times, Chen Luo discovered that people with higher discounts were more easily and quickly influenced by the fishing rod.

Unfortunately, everyone in the bar was offering Chen Luo a significant discount.

So Chen Luo would occasionally see people looking at his three-star item with eyes that looked like they wanted to break his boom pole.

Shenhe was a little confused after hearing Chen Luo's words, but he still trusted Chen Luo quite a bit, so he closed his eyes and opened them after 10 seconds.

"Is your fishing rod a special prop?" Shenhe quickly realized something was wrong with him.

As a cultivator, controlling one's emotions is very important, especially since Shenhe himself is rather aloof, and it is rare for him to express a strong destructive urge towards something.

"Hmm, a special prop. In short, look less at this fishing rod and more at me. Ah, I didn't mean you have to stare into my eyes the whole time. Whatever makes you happy."

Shenhe is quite straightforward. Chen Luo asked Shenhe Chen Luo to stare at him, and Shenhe Chen Luo back at him, making Chen Luo feel a little uncomfortable.

"Want to try this river? Maybe it will strengthen the Vision," Chen Luo said, pointing to the river in front of him.

"Hmm." Shenhe nodded and then quite directly threw his Vision into the river.

Simple, quick, and without hesitation.

When Chen Luo emerged from the river again, he already had three Vision in his hands.

All three Vision remained intact, without any sense of impending disappearance.

Just as Chen Luo had predicted, the Vision could indeed reach the level of an S-grade item after being enhanced twice.

Just like this golden Vision.

"Hmm... maybe you even have the potential to become the Ice Archon." Chen Luo complained about this while tossing the golden Cryo Vision back to Shenhe.

In short, the more Chen Luo profited from the River God's abilities, the more he felt that the River God's abilities were too outrageous.

Based solely on common sense, the Ice Archon Gnosis is S-rank Talent, and Chen Luo actually possesses an Ice-type Ice Gnosis.

The golden Vision that Shenhe is currently holding is also an S-rank item.

An S-rank item is equal to an S-rank item.

Just like the Cryo Vision and Ice Gnosis, the Ice God's Eye can also use ice-type power, so Shenhe is equivalent to the Ice Archon.

Chen Luo finally understood what it meant to have great responsibility with great power.

Of course, Chen Luo would never allow anyone to kidnap him. Chen Luo simply tries his best not to use his Divine Power to help those who might endanger the world.

In a sense, if Chen Luo wanted to, he could plunge the entire Teyvat Continent into a shadow in just 10 minutes—a shadow created by their own people.

The River God Ability are truly outrageous.

It's only an S-rank item now, but it might even reach SS rank or SSS-rank in the future. It truly lives up to its reputation as the officially designated strongest support item.

"This is truly outrageous. However, although I have raised the upper limit of your Vision, you still need to work hard to fill the gap in between," Chen Luo said to Shenhe.

The idea of challenging the gods of one's own pantheon right after acquiring a golden Vision is best left as a dream.

Chen Luo couldn't do this kind of thing.

To put it bluntly, the Vision is just an item. In fact, Chen Luo's silver-level Elemental Eye can be said to have reached the limit of an S-level item, just one step away from becoming an SS rank item. But even so, Chen Luo is not confident that he can use any single element in the Elemental Eye to deal with that kind of god.

Even if Chen Luo were to use only the Elemental Eye, all the elements combined would be barely enough to defeat a god.

There is a reason why deities are called deities.

Even S-rank items aren't omnipotent, not to mention that even a golden Vision might not be as strong as a normal Elemental Eye.

It's not that Chen Luo's River God Ability is weak, but rather that the limit of the Vision is probably just around the corner.

Are a +10 wooden stick and a +10 magic sword Apophis the same?

"Hmm? But doesn't the sign say that if a golden item appears, the golden item belongs to you, and the silver item belongs to me?" Shenhe frowned, looking at the sign next to Chen Luo, then at the Golden Vision and the original Vision in his hand, as well as the Silver Vision that Chen Luo had left behind.

"Except for the Vision," Chen Luo said after tossing the Silver Vision into his backpack.

"The Vision is bound to its owner. Although it's not impossible to steal it through Furniture Mastery, the key issue is that it's not convenient to use. In addition, I have the more powerful Elemental Eye, so the Golden Vision is of little help to me, and can only be used for collection."

Chen Luo's Elemental Eye contains all seven elements of the Teyvat Continent.

This means that for Chen Luo, all the Vision series in the Teyvat Continent are only useful for gaining divine power and for collecting.

"Besides, we're practically family, so take it. I'm not interested in the Vision. But there's one thing I need to warn you: never use this golden Vision for evil purposes, although you're unlikely to do such a thing anyway," Chen Luo casually instructed Shenhe.

Honestly, Chen Luo would be happier if Shenhe were to commit evil deeds.

Although Chen Luo's efforts reduced the number of red ropes on the other party and seemed to increase the amount of human emotions he possessed, the four words "doing evil" still had nothing to do with Shenhe.

"Okay, thank you." Shenhe didn't hesitate to put the Golden Vision into his pocket and thanked Chen Luo.

For Shenhe, social etiquette was truly incomprehensible. If someone gave it to him and he wanted it too, then he would simply accept it.

After all, Chen Luo had mentioned to him more than once that while force could not solve problems, it could resolve the issue of who raised them.

Therefore, improving military strength is also an important matter.

At least I can lend a helping hand to others when they need it, like Chen Luo.

"If you need that Golden Vision, remember to tell me," Shenhe said to Chen Luo before leaving the river.

"I should be the one saying that. If you need that silver Vision, remember to tell me," Chen Luo said, both amused and exasperated.

"Mm." Shenhe nodded.

"But can I sit next to you?" Shenhe asked Chen Luo after hesitating for a moment.

"Of course. Almost all the bar patrons come here, so let's try to talk to them." Chen Luo took a small stool from his backpack, placed it next to himself, and said to Shenhe.

Shenhe is a quiet person most of the time and does not bother Chen Luo when he is fishing.

At least he's the kind of "roommate" you dream of when you just want to sit quietly.

Little knowledge?

Xiao Shi is no good; she's too restless and not suited for quiet fishing.

Chapter 596 Yakumo Yukari's Contract of Indenture

"No way, Chen Luo, this is really hurting me. You clearly agreed to only give me the silver one. Isn't this what you call double standards?" After Shenhe sat down next to Chen Luo, Yakumo Yukari slowly floated over and said to Chen Luo in a low voice.

"Where did I apply double standards? Don't slander me."

"I also want Yuyuko's golden fan," Yakumo Yukari said with a sigh.

"... Whether you want it or not, you know it in your heart," Chen Luo said coldly.

You don't even send a request, yet you want a fan?

I waited for quite a while, even though it was a bit of a hassle.

"Uh, cough cough, never mind, let's discuss the contract issue now." Yakumo Yukari decisively changed the subject.

"What's wrong with the contract? Have you thought about what you can give me?" After putting away the Friend's Ledger, Chen Luo asked Yakumo Yukari, while taking out the contract again.

"I haven't decided yet." Yakumo Yukari shook her head.

"... So after thinking about it for so long, what did you finally come up with?" Chen Luo asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Actually, I didn't think about it for that long. I actually thought about it for a while before I came to find you, but it seems you've disappeared," Yakumo Yukari said.

"You mean it's my fault?"

"No, how could I blame you? It's just this contract... I wanted to ask, the gold and silver versions of the item you summoned should be able to exist permanently, right?"

"Of course." Chen Luo nodded.

"Then you shouldn't actively make them disappear, right?"

"..."

"As expected, I knew it! You little brat, you were trying to trick me!" Yakumo Yukari stood up instantly.

"No, don't slander me! I just didn't tell you," Chen Luo quickly denied.

But after a long while, Yakumo Yukari finally came to her senses, didn't she?

This is quite normal, since the white-haired dwarf didn't appear to be in a situation where there were always three people, which clearly shows that the summoned items are not undispellable.

At the time, Yakumo Yukari was simply overwhelmed by the golden Gensokyo and didn't realize what was happening. Now that she's calmed down and calmed down for a while, it's perfectly normal that she can see it now. However, Chen Luo never intended to hide it from Yakumo Yukari.

Using this to threaten Yakumo Yukari?

Forget it, would you be attracted to a young and beautiful old woman who is of unknown age and could be your ancestor?

Okay, yes, it can.

Of course, that's not the problem.

"Wouldn't it be better to just write this clause into the contract? Besides, you haven't said what you can give me yet, have you? Isn't it normal for everyone to rely on their own abilities before the transaction is completed?" Chen Luo said matter-of-factly.

Chen Luo did accept Yakumo Yukari's request, but Yakumo Yukari also didn't give Chen Luo anything.

Even if Chen Luo summons the Golden Gensokyo and then cancels it, that would still count as completing the mission, since the Golden Gensokyo has appeared, right?

Chen Luo can indeed help others fulfill their wishes for free, but only for the simpler ones.

Tasks like those of Yakumo Yukari, which sound incredibly difficult, naturally require additional compensation.

Besides, it's normal for five-star missions to have some extra rewards, right?

"That makes sense." Chen Luo's behavior was quite normal, to the point that even Yakumo Yukari thought it was reasonable.

"Haven't you come up with a reward that will impress me yet?"

"No, I admit defeat. Tell me, what do you want?" Yakumo Yukari said, sounding somewhat defeated.

If you encounter a situation during a transaction where you urgently need something but the other party doesn't offer any conditions, then you're in for a lot of trouble.

For example, right now.

"I don't want much... I just need you to obey me."

"Huh?! What do you want? I'm telling you, I considered you a friend, but you..."

"Shut up, don't talk nonsense." Chen Luo said angrily when he saw that other people were looking in their direction because of Yakumo Yukari's overly excited voice.

"Who's lusting after your body? I just want you to prioritize my orders above all else when it comes to anything involving bars or the Different World. Even in Gensokyo, you must take my opinions very seriously."

"And what I give in return is to help you get a golden illusion."

"We cannot dispel the Golden Gensokyo," Yakumo Yukari added.

"So you've agreed to my conditions?" Chen Luo smiled as he looked at Yakumo Yukari, who was adding to the list.

I'm not afraid of getting a small discount, I'm just afraid of the vendor saying "yes".

If the other party interrupts, it means they intend to make a move.

"What can I do? I'm desperate too." Yakumo Yukari sighed helplessly.
