Miraculous Forger from Honkai

Miraculous Forger from Honkai, Author: Escaping Cat

A finished multi-crossover novel with tens of millions of words and an average of over ten thousand readers. A daily ten-thousand-word professional with guaranteed credibility!

As a forger capable of crafting Miracle Items, Chen Li fought for all the beautiful things in the world!

But for some reason, Chen Li always had a terrible reputation...

Pom-Pom: So it was you, kid! You installed a Ram on the Astral Express and made the train charge at every boss it saw, didn't you, Pom?!

Jingliu: You unfilial disciple! Why are Summoning Ticket summons random?! Yes, it was a white fox, but who was Kitsune Saiguu? Where was my Baiheng?!

Sunday: What did you do to my sister's microphone? Why did she start picking it up and beating people with it?

Kal'tsit: What do you mean, "Kal'tsit is still awake"? You and your Miraculous Items are laughable!

"I don't get why they always complain about my Miraculous Items' effects. What an ungrateful bunch!" Chen Li said indignantly.

"Yeah, why ever could that be? Such a mystery."

Looking at the black stockings Chen Li called Attack Speed Gear, Elysia considered how hard she would need to hit him later to leave him without the strength or means to escape.

Today, she would show him what real attack speed was!

"Apprentice Transmigrator" and "Runaway Princess of the Bamboo Forest of the Lost"

A farce was unfolding outside Cangxing City Middle School.

"Chen Li, you'd better hand over the Jixia Academy invitation as compensation for my shield! Otherwise, you'd better sleep with your eyes open tonight! My dad is—" The uniformed boy scattered countless fragments of his shield as he spoke. Though defeated, he remained arrogant.

"Shut up." Chen Li shoved the barrel of his Alchemical Pistol straight into the other boy's mouth.

Who cares who your dad is? Even if your dad were me, it wouldn't help you.

"By the way, my father is a legendary investigator. In the Cthulhu Mythos, investigators are generally human characters who fight cultists or mythological creatures. Legendary investigators are on another level entirely," Chen Li said.

Chen Li activated the Trap Card: You Started Comparing Dads First.

"..." The boy immediately calmed down. That sentence seemed even more effective than having a gun barrel shoved into his mouth.

A legendary investigator? Those lunatics even Outer Gods considered insane? After all, how could a normal person go Tombstone Hopping on an Outer God's grave?

"Now, stop talking nonsense and give me the Relic compensation we agreed on." Chen Li withdrew the Alchemical Pistol, ignoring the cries of alarm from the students by the school gate.

Tomorrow, they would forget Chen Li's parents because of the memory-erasing curse on them anyway.

So there was no need to care.

"Cough, cough... Um... Big brother, I'm still a student."

"Even if you were just born, it wouldn't matter. You don't have to pay me back, but your whole family had better sleep with their eyes open." Chen Li did not care. The one who would die horribly would not be him.

"I'm sorry, I was wrong!"

It took the other boy only three seconds to drop to his knees and produce his wager.

Having obtained the item, Chen Li immediately turned and headed for a taxi, afraid he would have to pay a waiting fee.

"I never thought Chen Li's dad was a legendary investigator. Come to think of it, why does Chen Li seem so practiced at handling situations like this?"

"Of course it was because... he had seen a lot." Sitting in the car, Chen Li could not help looking at his personal panel.

The personal panel was a "benefit" bestowed upon everyone by the world after the great change, or fusion, thirty years ago.

It gave everyone their own profession, such as student, teacher, merchant, Magical Girl, investigator, Outer God, and so on.

A profession represented a person's place in society. As long as they did things that matched their profession, they could raise their profession level and improve the corresponding basic attributes.

Transmigrator was a rare trait that possessed both talent and profession attributes.

Because of Passive Skill 2, Chen Li was very good at dealing with trouble.

This incident had arisen because of the Jixia Academy invitation... Since he was used to speedrunning, Chen Li had forgotten to tell the other party that his invitation was for logistics.

"Demons and ghouls, begone! Demons and ghouls, begone..."

Chen Li's phone rang with a strange ringtone.

As a Transmigrator, it was perfectly reasonable for Chen Li to use a ringtone that could actually exorcise demons, right?

Chen Li picked up his phone, skillfully declined the voice call, and checked the messages.

Runaway Princess of the Bamboo Forest of the Lost: Get online! Let's play!

This was practically part of Chen Li's daily routine. He had been delayed today, so she was urging him.

Demons and Ghouls, Get "Li": Someone was giving me trouble, so I'm not home yet.

Runaway Princess of the Bamboo Forest of the Lost: Were they badly hurt?

Demons and Ghouls, Get "Li": I was the one who got hassled!

Runaway Princess of the Bamboo Forest of the Lost: So how badly were they hurt?

Demons and Ghouls, Get "Li": They weren't injured, but they compensated me with a Relic.

Runaway Princess of the Bamboo Forest of the Lost: That's more like it. So... are we playing?

Demons and Ghouls, Get "Li": My mouse fell asleep, otherwise I'd definitely come. Tomorrow for sure.

"If they weren't hurt, could you at least beat them up for me? Try worrying about me first," Chen Li typed.

Runaway Princess of the Bamboo Forest of the Lost: A scourge lasts a thousand years, so you must be fine, right?

"..." —Chen Li.

Back then, he should not have immediately sent money after receiving that text saying, "I am Houraisan Kaguya. I was harmed by villains and ended up stranded here from Gensokyo. Send me 5,000, let me have a full meal, and once I return to Gensokyo, I'll have Eirin make you one hundred Elixirs of Hourai!" He should have let her starve for a while and experience life's hardships!

Sending money after receiving a text message was not because Chen Li lacked awareness of scams. The main problem was that, with Chen Li's troublemaking constitution, scam messages were not necessarily scams. At least once, a "huge reward for a son" text had really offered a huge reward for a son...

But no one told Chen Li that the "son" meant disciple.

Chen Li's current secondary profession had come from that.

Secondary professions were extremely rare and valuable in this world, so Chen Li had not lost out that time.

"Houraisan Kaguya" providing two consecutive years of game companionship, along with occasionally mailing him fresh "Undying Remains" for crafting "survival items," proved that Chen Li's 5,000 had not been wasted.

Though Chen Li paid her every time afterward as well.

As for whether this gaming partner was truly the Houraisan Kaguya from the game, Chen Li did not hold much hope. Maybe she was just some immortal species doing cosplay.

Chen Li had even seen someone claiming to be Qin Shi Huang.

It was just that... the "Undying Remains" she provided always seemed rather off.

When Chen Li saw the heart of an undead in the package, fresh as though it had just been picked, he was completely dumbfounded.

"So, you're the additional function that strange system unlocked?" Chen Li turned to look at the Pixie sitting on his shoulder, no larger than a figurine.

Objectively speaking, even with Chen Li's experienced eye for grand scenes, he had to admit that she was exquisite and beautiful. She was just too small.

Humans could not... At the very least, they should not...

Seven days ago, Chen Li woke up to discover that he had a second panel.

Though he had been extremely worried at first, nothing had happened for seven consecutive days. After asking an Outer God to examine him and finding nothing unusual, Chen Li could only focus more of his attention on dealing with the troubles that arrived every day.

Just now, the system had issued a task to teach that shield warrior a lesson. The reward was unlocking more functions.

"Yes, Master."

"So what can you do?"

"For example... I can help you solve the problem of your talent being uncontrollable." The Pixie smiled.

"!!!" Chen Li's eyes lit up.

Now that's something worth staying awake for.

The profession of Transmigrator sounded wonderful, but outsiders knew nothing of its hardships.

Leaving aside the endless trouble Passive Talent 2 brought Chen Li, that was not necessarily entirely bad. The rougher the seas, the pricier the fish.

The truly fatal part of this talent was its transmigration ability.

Because it was passive!

Could you imagine it? Thirteen-year-old Chen Li had been walking home from school when he somehow walked all the way abroad and personally witnessed a cult ritual.

Did you know how much psychological trauma that could cause a thirteen-year-old child?

And that only counted as an aftereffect or omen of transmigration.

Actual transmigrations came with even more dangers!

Besides... Who said that after transmigrating into the past, you would definitely be able to transmigrate back?

Fortunately, this profession seemed to abide by laws protecting minors. The first real transmigration would not begin until he turned eighteen, so Chen Li still had time.

Why not give up the profession? Because it locked his panel! It was more annoying than some 360 bird wallpaper!

Training? Sorry, this world did not have universal skills.

The system Pixie's suggestion was tempting.

However...

"What a cute doggie. If I punched it once, it would probably cry for a long time, right?"

However... Watching the Pixie say something so terrifying to Wangcai after they returned home, Chen Li felt that something was off.

Wangcai was the black hunting dog in Chen Li's home.

For some reason, investigators all liked keeping hunting dogs at home. Maybe because Outer Gods were weak dogs.

"Oh, right. Have you considered it, Master? As a beginner benefit, the Miracle System can use Miracle Power to grant your secondary profession one chance to forge a Miracle Item. As long as you use your talent as the main forging material and add secondary materials compatible with its nature, you may be able to elevate your talent and make it controllable." The Pixie's smile remained gentle.

"May be able to... What does that mean?" Chen Li immediately caught one particular phrase.

"It's a Miracle. Those who know, know." The Pixie twirled her white hair around her fingertip.

"Speak normally."

"The chance of elevation is very low."

"How low?"
