Chen Li: Let me show you all a party trick-swallowing the Evil of This World whole!

"What? I need to have a tooth pulled?" Kyon instinctively covered his mouth.

"Of course, there is also a less radical approach."

"What method?"

"Your SOS Brigade armband will do," Chen Li said.

Although Kyon might not realize it, the comments that surround the protagonist are the truly meaningful ones!

The SOS Brigade's armband is naturally one of the important items and symbols of the main characters.

"You scared me. Here you go." Upon hearing that he didn't need to have his teeth pulled, Kyon readily handed the SOS Brigade armband to Chen Li.

Kyon always felt that this thing was useless; it would be best if it could help him ward off disasters.

"Don't just hand over your armband so readily," Haruhi Suzumiya glared at Kyon.

"Oh, you want yours too," Chen Li said.

"Well?"

"You will now face two choices. One is to use these armbands as forging fees and then find the materials yourselves; the other option is to use them as material costs," Chen Li said.

Creating Miraculous Item certainly wouldn't be that cheap, but Chen Li could definitely profit from Haruhi Suzumiya.

[Enhancement Machine] Entry Extraction in progress...

Progress: 1/3 (Using Haruhi Suzumiya to enhance your item strength can increase progress)

Extraction the entry for "Wish Machine"...

Progress: 1/3 (Progress can be increased by fulfilling your own wish using Haruhi Suzumiya)

For the sake of these two seemingly interesting terms, Chen Li wouldn't mind helping Haruhi Suzumiya create a low-priced Miraculous Item.

Theoretically speaking, Chen Li could create any Miraculous Item worth 5 Crystals or less, exaggerate its effects, and even generate a profit of 150 Crystals by exploiting Haruhi Suzumiya.

However, Chen Li wouldn't go that far, because Chen Li didn't want to see the world ruined by Haruhi Suzumiya.

But Chen Li will definitely make a profit.

What are the material costs?

"Starstones." Chen Li took out 40 Starstones and began to explain the function of Starstones to Haruhi Suzumiya.

"You mean if I'm lucky enough, I can use 40 Starstones to draw a high-value target, then sell it to you at a higher price to get more Starstones, and then continue drawing? I choose this!" Haruhi Suzumiya immediately became interested.

Miraculous Item? What Miraculous Item?

Anyway, let's use the shared Miraculous Item for now.

Who doesn't know that Haruhi Suzumiya only has a three-minute attention span for everything?

Compared to Miraculous Items, lotteries are definitely more interesting.

"Sure, but I have to warn you. The scenario you described only exists in theory. In reality, you might only draw items that are just worth the amount of Starstones you invested. What If I'm not interested in an item, I won't take it back," Chen Li reminded him.

"Whatever, I don't know what kind of Miraculous Item I want anyway. If you draw some random stuff, just use it to forge a random Miraculous Item for me. We'll keep scraping together the forging costs. Maybe we'll find some really valuable antiques on the next SOS Brigade adventure," Haruhi Suzumiya said casually.

Haruhi Suzumiya simply associated things with precious terms with antiques.

But they are indeed about the same.

"Alright."

"Wait, how are we going to divide 40 Starstones among 6 people? It's not good if it's not a round number." Haruhi Suzumiya muttered to herself before looking at Chen Li.

"How about I bundle all the other people's armbands together and sell them to you? I'll give you an extra 20 Starstones?" Haruhi Suzumiya asked.

"Why 20? There are only 5 people, aren't there?"

"Here's 10 Starstones for you. You're the Deputy Commander of the SOS Brigade."

"Good grief, you think I'm taking a kickback? Forget it, I won't. I'll just give you an extra 20 Starstones." Chen Li gave him an extra 20 Starstones.

In fact, after Haruhi Suzumiya took the Position Exchange Gun that Chen Li had casually made and went for a walk, Chen Li inexplicably gained 400 Starstones.

All I can say is that she truly lives up to the Haruhi Suzumiya.

In addition, she immediately received 600 Starstones after sending a message to Haruhi Suzumiya... Chen Li gave her 100 more Starstones when she wanted them.

But Chen Li was genuinely afraid that Haruhi Suzumiya would cause trouble with the Starstones, so he didn't dare give them to her.

"Okay, the first one is Kyon's." Haruhi Suzumiya said, crushing the Starstones and reaching into the Starsea Trove Cave.

"I thought you were going to share the Starstones with us, but it turns out you're going to use them yourself and then give us the rest?" Kyon complained.

"Stop talking nonsense, here, this is yours." Haruhi Suzumiya handed Kyon a round bead that looked like it was made of Amber.

"What is this?" Kyon asked curiously, looking at the object in his hand.

"Holy crap, One-Star Dragon Ball?" Chen Li was stunned for a moment when he saw the ball and the star inside.

"What do you mean?" Haruhi Suzumiya asked while holding other Starstones and drawing lots.

"These are otherworldly artifacts called Dragon Balls. It's said that collecting seven of them can summon Divine Dragon, who can grant you any wish. But unfortunately, there's only one," Chen Li explained.

"You mean this?" Haruhi Suzumiya asked, holding up a Dragon Ball with two stars inside.

"Holy crap, Two-Star Dragon Ball? Quick, quick, keep drawing!" Chen Li was completely dumbfounded.

Is this considered a "Wish Machine" that draws out Wish Machine?

After Haruhi Suzumiya used up her 60 Starstones, the six dragon balls were placed in front of Chen Li then took out ten Starstones and handed them to Haruhi Suzumiya.

"Let's do it again, Commander!"

"Uh, okay." Seeing Chen Li's excitement, Haruhi Suzumiya's hand trembled, and she crushed the ten Starstones.

It was impossible for Chen Li not to be excited.

Please, these are Seven Dragon Balls! Who didn't dream of collecting all seven when they were a kid?

Even if he couldn't collect all seven, Chen Li was only slightly disappointed, because these Dragon Balls themselves had extremely shining "Wish" and "Omnipotence" attributes.

Whether an item is damaged or not has little impact on the forging of Miraculous Item.

"This time it's not Dragon Ball, it's just a cup, what a pity." Haruhi Suzumiya said to Chen Li, holding a golden cup in her hand.

"..." Chen Li felt that choosing to have someone else draw the Starsea Trove on his behalf was a brilliant decision.

Perhaps everyone has their own Exclusive Weapon, which allows them to more easily resonate with the Starsea Trove and accurately find their Schicksal treasure among countless treasures.

Like the Holy Grail in Haruhi Suzumiya's hands.

Even if you can draw Exclusive Weapon, you still need a safety net and must follow the law of conservation of luck.

So instead of creating a special lottery Miraculous Item, it would be better to just buy the items that the backup suitors already have at a low price.

Of course, you can also try using the Joy Dice first.

But for now, let's figure out a way to buy the stuff!

Chapter 126 Chen Li: I'll show my family a special skill—swallowing All the World's Evils alive!

"..." Chen Li stared intently at Haruhi Suzumiya.

"Um... can you stop staring at me like that? Just say what you have to say." Haruhi Suzumiya felt uneasy under his gaze.

"To be honest, you might be a natural-born Wish Machine physique," Chen Li said quietly.

"What's the meaning?"

"Because whether it's these Dragon Balls or the Holy Grail in your hand, they are both Wish Machines in a certain sense."

"Really?" Haruhi Suzumiya asked with some surprise.

"Now that you've heard the good news, how about the bad news?"

"What bad news?"

"The bad news is that you can't make a wish with either of these two wish-making tools."

"Why? Is it because I can't adapt to the new environment?" Haruhi Suzumiya, somewhat unconvinced.

Haruhi Suzumiya thought she was about to gain the ability to make her wishes come true, but you're telling me she can't make a wish?

"The Dragon Balls require all seven to be used, but you only have six. The Holy Grail does have the power to grant wishes, but yours is corrupted. It contains a strange thing called the All the World's Evils, which will only distort your wishes and cause things to go in a direction that Destruction the world," Chen Li said.

The distortion of the Holy Grail resulted in wishes being interpreted as "evil," always fulfilled in ways that brought Destruction and disaster.

"Huh?" Haruhi Suzumiya was startled, but curiosity followed immediately.

"Is this what they mean by 'all that glitters on the outside, but rotten on the inside'?" Haruhi Suzumiya used a very apt phrase.

"Pretty much. So, are you selling these things?" Chen Li asked.

"Since you said it can't be used to make wishes, then of course it's going to be sold. Tell me, how much are you willing to pay?" Haruhi Suzumiya sat in the leader's seat, crossed her legs, and looked like she had the upper hand.

Chen Li remained silent, but simply held up five fingers.

"Sigh, only 50?"

"No, it's 500," Chen Li said.

"Deal." Haruhi Suzumiya agreed to Chen Li's transaction request without hesitation.

"Alright then, these things are mine now." Chen Li put away the six Dragon Balls and picked up the golden Holy Grail.

"What about my 500 Starstones?" Haruhi Suzumiya asked expectantly.

"Theoretically, these 500 Starstones already belong to you, but since you are still a minor, I need to keep them for you," Chen Li said.

"What?"

"And considering your somewhat strange luck, I'll need to keep an eye on you while you use the Starstones. After all, Haruhi Suzumiya, you wouldn't want something you draw to Destruction the world, would you?" Chen Li said.

Chen Li couldn't say whether Haruhi Suzumiya's luck was good or bad.

It's true that she was lucky, but the items she drew had no practical value and only produced extremely strong side effects.

You could say it was bad luck, but these items were all incredibly valuable.

"Well... okay."

"Oh, you're actually so understanding?" Chen Li was somewhat surprised.

"But as collateral, this Position Exchange Gun is temporarily mine," Haruhi Suzumiya said matter-of-factly.

"No problem," Chen Li readily agreed.

After all, it's just a model gun.

As for frequently replacing the fake Miraculous Item given to Haruhi Suzumiya to advance the Extraction progress of the [Wish Machine] and [Enhancement Machine] entries... there's no need to rush it too much.

Because Haruhi Suzumiya had just given him a substitute.

Unlike some parents who say they're saving their children's New Year's money only to later explain that they used it all to pay for their tuition, Chen Li gave them the 1000 Starstones.

"Can the thing inside really Destruction the world?" Kyon, keeping his distance from Chen Li while curiously peering into the Holy Grail in Chen Li's hand.

"Theoretically speaking, yes, but unfortunately he met me." Chen Li said as he raised the Holy Grail.

The Holy Grail that Haruhi Suzumiya drew was overflowing with a black, sludge-like substance.

However, since the items were just extracted from the Starsea Trove and are temporarily sealed, these All the World's Evils are quite calm, merely maintaining a state of being about to overflow but not yet overflowing.

Unfortunately, because there are countless Holy Grails in the Type-Moon World, and there may be more than one Holy Grail possessing the All the World's Evils, Chen Li is still unsure whether the items in the Starsea Trove were copied or directly taken from elsewhere.

But what needs to be addressed most right now is the All the World's Evils.

"So what should we do now?"

"I have an ability to transform [Sinner] into Slimes capable of cleansing any filth. Theoretically, sending Slimes into the All the World's Evils to cleanse the filth is a good solution. But that was a solution from three days ago. Now... just drink it." Chen Li said, bringing the Holy Grail to his lips and tilting it slightly.

Chen Li's actions disrupted the balance maintained between the All the World's Evils and the Holy Grail, and the All the World's Evils began to flow into Chen Li's mouth continuously.

Chen Li wasn't sure if Angra Mainyu's consciousness existed within this All the World's Evils, because even if it did, it would be digested by Chen Li's Gourmet Cells, and Chen Li wouldn't be able to sense it.

"Power is surging up." After stopping drinking the All the World's Evils, Chen Li clenched his fist and felt incredibly strong and powerful!

That's powerful!

The All the World's Evils are absolutely exquisite when they are considered delicacies.
