Herrscher of Sentience: I Am the Fu Hua of the Future!
It feels good, but too good. To put it more accurately, the Void Archive has practically taken on its own shape.
This thing is fucking perfect.
As Chen Luo raced, the Void Archive instantly transformed into twin pistols.
The Seventh Divine Key: Heavenly Fire Self-Destruction (Weakened Version)
Void Archive, a weapon created by Dr. Mei of the previous generation using the core of the First Herrscher of Herrscher of Reason. Its normal form is a golden hexahedron, which can be transformed into a fluid.
It can replicate weapons and items whose construction principles the user understands. The same applies to Divine Key, but replicated Divine Key.
Inside is a nearly infinitely expanding knowledge space, containing the knowledge of previous civilizations collected by the Herrscher of Reason. This knowledge was preserved along with the Herrscher Core due to the unique nature of the Herrscher of Reason's abilities.
It can be said that this weapon is an absolute perfect match for Chen Luo's personality.
Chen Luo possesses Furniture Mastery, and can pick up and play with any weapon. Furthermore, the Void Archive has a very high potential, allowing it to transform into any kind of weapon.
This weapon is practically made for Chen Luo.
"This weapon suits me very well. Xiao Shi, you're really capable." Chen Luo gave the Herrscher of Knowledge a thumbs up.
"Hehe, that's right!" the Herrscher of Knowledge said smugly.
"Chen Luo? It's been so many years, what nonsense are you spouting here?" Suddenly, a neutral voice filled with disdain rang out.
The Void Archive in Chen Luo's hand, which had transformed back into a cube, slowly floated up.
"Holy crap, Void Archive spoke!" Chen Luo exclaimed in surprise.
"Chen Luo, have you been kicked in the head by a donkey?"
Even Chen Luo could hear the contempt in Void Hanzang's tone.
"... I'll give you three seconds to shut up. Otherwise, I'll turn you into a toilet." Chen Luo paused for a moment, then looked at Void Archive with displeasure.
"... You're still as shameless as ever. But judging from your expression, it's like you're seeing me for the first time. Could it be that you've gone crazy again, Chen Luo? Pretending not to recognize me... Either you have a problem or I do."
"Could it be that you're a descendant of that guy Chen Luo? But that doesn't make sense. This strange feeling of being controlled, and the conversation between the two of you just now, perfectly confirm that you are Chen Luo..."
"As expected, Chen Luo, you have a lot of secrets."
"..." After a moment of silence, Chen Luo grabbed the golden cube. Under Chen Luo's strong control, the cube actually turned into a toilet, and then Chen Luo sat down on the toilet seat.
This Void Archive is full of nonsense.
Moreover, the mention of the Void Archive did provide Chen Luo with a significant hint.
It seems I really have gone to the Previous Era.
The Void Archive know themselves, but they are not very familiar with themselves, at least not completely.
But the other person seemed to have some understanding of his personality.
However, they were unaware of the secret that they could travel between other worlds.
That's fine.
Moreover, even if he knew, it wouldn't matter. Anyway, the Void Archive is now in Chen Luo's hands. As long as Chen Luo handles it for a while, how could a mere weapon escape Chen Luo control?
"Hmm, can I speak now?" The Herrscher of Knowledge gently raised her hand and asked.
Those Herrscher of Knowledge feel as if they've brought back an old man, or maybe an old woman.
"Speak, "Chen Luo said, waving his hand. "I've already plugged the ears of the Void Archive. At least while it's in my hands, the other party has no chance of turning the tables."
It's just a weapon; it's nothing but trash in front of Furniture Mastery.
"That's good. I originally thought you wouldn't interfere with the Previous Era, but now it seems the situation is a bit different. That's not a problem, though. Alo, what are you planning to do with this Void Hanzo?"
Since the First Divine Key, Void Archive, was created by the artificial intelligence Prometheus combined with the First Herrscher Core, it has its own ideas.
For example, Void Archive once bewitched the young Otto, and even in Post-Honkai Odyssey, it is said that Void Archive caused trouble.
Those Herrscher of Knowledge always feel that this is rather dangerous.
Although Chen Luo's Furniture Mastery allows him to control the other party and treat the artificial intelligence in the Void Archive as a spirit, this spirit seems to be a bit unruly.
"I'm going to... push it beyond its limits," Chen Luo said after glancing at the Void Archive beneath his buttocks.
"Huh?" The Herrscher of Knowledge paused for a moment.
"Xiao Shi, you know that all S-rank Talent have a minimum price of 10,000 Primogem. Although I haven't bought any five-star items yet, I can roughly estimate that five-star items are around that price. Logically speaking, the Divine Key made from the Herrscher Core should also be around that price, and it should also be five-star."
"But according to the talent panel, this Void Archive is a 4-star top-tier weapon, not a 5-star one," Chen Luo said, looking at the talent panel.
"A four-star top-tier weapon..." The Herrscher of Knowledge stroked his chin thoughtfully.
Actually, this is quite normal. If Herrscher Authority doesn't have any special breakthroughs, like the Herrscher of Knowledge, then its strength is just an ordinary S-rank Talent.
And the Divine Key...
Flame-Chaser with Divine Key can kill Herrscher, but Divine Key cannot be completely compared to the Herrscher Authority.
For example, if Fu Hua is standing opposite the Herrscher of Knowledge with Yu Du Chen, and it's just a contest of Herrscher Authority, then Fu Hua could easily beat Yu Du Chen.
Yu Du Chen is indeed powerful, but the Herrscher of Knowledge can make the most of the Herrscher of Knowledge's powers, while Yu Du Chen cannot.
This is the difference between weapons and authority.
Therefore, it's not impossible to say that the Divine Key is a 4-star top-tier weapon.
"Then what about that 'exceeding the limit' thing you mentioned?" asked the Herrscher of Knowledge.
"This is a hint I received after obtaining the Void Archive. I can spend 15,000 crystals to transcend the limits of the Void Archive, which is to say, break through its boundaries," Chen Luo said.
"Boundary breakthrough, huh? I do know that. Kevin's Heavenly Flame can transcend the limit to An-Utu, and the Black Abyss White Flower seems to have the same ability. But only three of these prototype transcendental weapons were made in the last era." The Herrscher of Knowledge remembered this.
"But isn't 15,000 crystals a bit too expensive? Isn't that equivalent to 15,000 Primogem? That's enough to buy an S-rank Talent." The Herrscher of Knowledge was somewhat heartbroken after hearing this amount.
From the perspective of the Herrscher of Knowledge, what belongs to the Herrscher of Knowledge belongs to Chen Luo, and what belongs to Chen Luo belongs to him. So, he would be heartbroken to spend 15,000 Primogem to upgrade a Divine Key.
Those Herrscher of Knowledge are gradually able to think about problems from Chen Luo's perspective.
"You think it's a loss? No, it's a gain. After the Void Archive is pushed beyond its limit, it can simulate all weapons below 6 stars. The original Void Archive would weaken when simulating other Divine Key that might be 4-star top-tier, but after being pushed beyond its limit, it can simulate all 5-star weapons in its full state."
"That's practically exchanging 15,000 crystals for all 5-star weapons! What a steal!" Chen Luo said excitedly.
"Making so much money? I feel like there's some kind of trap." After hearing Chen Luo's explanation, the Herrscher of Knowledge was somewhat incredulous.
"Ahem, well, the downside is that I can only simulate them after I've touched those weapons and understand their basic structure. But that's not a big problem. With my Furniture Mastery, I can achieve that level after spending some time with a weapon."
"I can only say that both the Void Archive and the Void Archive after its transcendence are extremely compatible with me," Chen Luo said with a playful expression.
"That's really... It seems we made the right choice in snatching this Void Archive." The Herrscher of Knowledge said, stroking her chin.
"The problem is that it takes two days to exceed the limit, and the event will be over after two days."
"What kind of problem is that? Just use this weapon until the event ends, and then exceed its limit, right?"
"Okay, then." Chen Luo nodded.
Chen Luo thought so too.
While 15,000 crystals is indeed ridiculously expensive, which is equivalent to 15,000 Primogem, crystals and Primogem are not the same thing.
Primogem can be exchanged for crystal, but crystal cannot be exchanged for Primogem.
Chen Luo doesn't have many Primogem left, but he still has over 30,000 worth of crystals.
"Alright, let's go. Come with me to farm some crystals," Chen Luo said to the Herrscher of Knowledge.
"Okay." The Herrscher of Knowledge nodded.
After seeing the Herrscher of Knowledge nod, Chen Luo gently patted the golden toilet under his buttocks, and the golden toilet instantly transformed into dual pistols, which Chen Luo then held in his hands.
Now is the time to unleash a massacre.
What? You mean the Elf Bow? What's that?
The Elf Bow is a three-star top-tier item.
The Heavenly Fire Judgment, composed of Void Archive, is not as powerful as the original weapon, but it is still a four-star weapon, and it does not require drawing a bow, only pulling a trigger.
Isn't this much better than the Elf Bow?
Moreover, the Void Archive doesn't need bullets; Honkai energy is enough.
My lord, times have changed.
Chapter 102 Herrscher of Knowledge: I am the future Fu Hua!
After acquiring the Herrscher of Knowledge, Chen Luo began his rampage, but unlike Chen Luo, the Herrscher of Knowledge did not join him in killing Militants and Honkai Beasts. Instead, she went in the opposite direction, communicating solely through a Little Herrscher.
The main reason is not because the Herrscher of Knowledge doesn't want to stay with Chen Luo, otherwise she wouldn't have placed Little Herrscher on Chen Luo's head. The main reason is that if the Herrscher of Knowledge is killing indiscriminately, it will affect Chen Luo's indiscriminate killing.
However, Chen Luo discovered a very big problem, a very, very big problem.
"Chen Luo, why are you so depressed?" Raven asked curiously as she sat down next to Chen Luo.
It's now past 6 PM, the time Raven has designated for the children to have dinner. Usually Chen Luo and Raven will return around this time to have dinner with the children.
In Raven the past two days with Chen Luo, she had never seen Chen Luo look dejected. Why is he like this now?
What's bothering you? Tell me so I can cheer you up.
"Sigh, it's a long story. By the way, Raven, you must have killed more than 1,600 Militants, right?" Chen Luo asked Raven beside him with a bitter face.
"You really do have special detection methods. There are indeed more than 1,600 Militants." Raven nodded.
Traveler from Different World is Traveler from Different World; they come up with all sorts of strange methods, which is why Raven is hesitating about whether to take a hard line.
Three million US dollars! Even if we have to kidnap him, we have to bring Chen Luo back.
However, Raven was very doubtful about whether she could kidnap the other party. Although the other party seemed weak, she seemed to have many ways to escape.
And that bar that can be opened at any time is even more puzzling.
"Then let's wait until tomorrow when you've dealt with the remaining 400 or so Militants, bringing the total to 2000, and then give up," Chen Luo said with a sigh.
"Wait, what do you mean?" Raven's heart skipped a beat.
"Chen Luo, you can't do this. Can't you have some sense of contractual responsibility?"
Now it was the Raven's turn to be unhappy.
Chen Luo said it, but it didn't make Raven happy at all.
If it's just 2,000 Militants, that's 2 million US dollars. Although Chen Luo said it might double depending on the situation, even if it doubles, it's only 4 million US dollars.
"I can still kill! You have to believe me. My Third Divine Key is in excellent condition today." Raven couldn't just stand by and watch this big fat sheep disappear.
"It's not a question of whether you can continue killing, but rather that I no longer have the need," Chen Luo said again.
If you get crystals, don't even mention killing 2,000, even if you kill 20,000, I'll let you keep killing.
The problem is that the share of crystals that can be shared by support characters is 10,000 crystals.
In other words, if Raven helps Chen Luo earn 10,000 crystals, then continuing to kill other Militants will not bring Chen Luo any benefit. Note that it is "any".
Chen Luo knew this in advance from the Herrscher of Knowledge, because half an afternoon was enough time for the Herrscher of Knowledge to collect 10,000 crystals.
This isn't teaming up, it's just asking for help in battle!
As we all know, the assist characters in Honkai Impact 3rd don't support you from beginning to end; they only support you for a period of time.
In some levels, the assist skill is simply giving you a buff.
Moreover, the 10,000 crystals here refers to the other party's 10,000 crystals.
Killing 2,000 Militants will earn you 10,000 crystals, but since it was a teammate (assistant) who killed them, Chen Luo will only receive 5,000 crystals.
This was something Chen Luo had never expected.
However, seemingly due to a special relationship, the share given to Chen Luo by the Herrscher of Knowledge was not 50%.
The Lady the Herrscher of Knowledge kills an ordinary Militants, Chen Luo will receive three crystals, which means his share will increase from 50% to 60%.
So after the Lady of Herrscher of Knowledge gave Chen Luo 6,000 crystals, she stopped doing anything else. No matter what Honkai Beasts she killed, she could no longer give Chen Luo any more crystals.
Since none of Chen Luo's teammates had ever reached 10,000 crystals before, Chen Luo was unaware of this rule, but today the Herrscher of Knowledge accomplished it.
"Chen Luo, listen to me, one shouldn't be so fickle and abandonful; one should see things through to the end," Raven, patting Chen Luo's shoulder and earnestly advising him.
The lowest-ranking Militants is paid $1,000. Raven has never encountered anything like this in his life. Now the cooked duck is about to fly away.
