"Help me, [Spiral]."

"Help me, [Infinity]."

"..."

"Chen Li, are you sure this attempt can really summon our own Stand?" Mobius asked Chen Li, who was happily munching on sunflower seeds beside him.

"Why not? Have you forgotten? When Little Gretel called for Big Gretel, she called out 'Starry Night.' That was her code name after the Thirteen Arbiter-Generals system was established. Don't you think there's a deeper meaning to it?"

"Based on this, let's put ourselves in each other's shoes. Perhaps the future Thirteen Arbiter-Generals can all summon their own substitutes, and you are all the future Thirteen Arbiter-Generals."

"The reason you can't summon them now is probably because you died in different ways before the arrival of the new civilization, which makes the summoning a bit more difficult."

"Perhaps you need a bit more stimulation," Chen Li commented while munching on a melon seed.

"I have a feeling you're just watching the show from the sidelines." Elysia had this inexplicable intuition.

But can you say that Elysia isn't tempted by the ability to summon a substitute of herself?

Elysia was definitely tempted.

Wow, are there two girls as beautiful as me in this world?

It would be a shame not to try summoning it!

"You're imagining things." Chen Li was frantically suppressing his smile.

Okay, Elysia guessed right.

While the probability of Elysia and the others being able to summon their own Stands is relatively small, it's not impossible.

In addition to Sue, Kevin, Hua, and Gretel, Aponia may also have her own Stand.

Some people are alive but already dead, while others are dead but still alive.

Each of the Thirteen Arbiter-Generals died in his own way.

Aponia's method of death was even more unique. Through the backdoor left by Vill-V in the Land of the Past, she chose to merge her consciousness with the Land of the Past, just to find the answer to how Elysia successfully changed the future.

Therefore, it is difficult to determine whether Aponia is dead or alive.

Perhaps Aponia could summon a substitute that could unleash a massive Land of the Past upon the enemy.

He sounds even more handsome now.

Damn it, Aponia, is this your escape route?!

"Lunch is ready." Kalpas kicked open the door of the Mobius Laboratory and pushed the food cart in.

But when Qianjie entered the Mebius Laboratory, the first thing he saw was Alicia Mebius and Velvi, who were posing in all sorts of strange positions.

Although Sakura was nearby, she did not participate in summoning the Stand. Instead, she sat there silently, seemingly deep in thought.

"Hmm, what are you doing?" Kalpas was taken aback.

"Oh, I was wondering what I forgot... the unexpected Kalpas!" Chen Li slapped his forehead and finally remembered what he had forgotten.

What does "out of the ordinary" mean?

"So you didn't participate in the explanation process for no reason, so you don't know anything. Anyway, let's have lunch first, and I'll give you a rundown of the Worldview later." After saying that, Chen Li ran straight towards the food cart.

Although Mom's Tablecloth can indeed conjure up the food the user needs, Chen Li's situation is special.

With the ability to conjure up Gourmet Cells, Chen Li can eat anything, so he can never conjure up normal food.

Mobius? What she conjured up were instant noodles of all flavors.

Elysia summoned various exquisite desserts and cakes.

Vill-V summoned was compressed biscuits, which fit Chen Li's preconceived notion of science-oriented women.

Sakura? That's more normal, but Chen Li wants something cooked, so sushi and the like are out of the question.

Sirin is special; all she summons are snacks.

Although she wasn't full, after everyone else had eaten and drunk their fill, Ying walked up to Chen Li asked him a question that would test Chen Li logical thinking.

"What If my sister eventually becomes the Herrscher of Corruption and is sealed in the Black Box, then who will be inside the Black Box 50,000 years from now?"

"Well... I really don't know. I hope it's the Hiyoko. Anyway, we can go and take a look," Chen Li said.

"Will my sister have the ability to summon Stands?"

"Hiss... That's a tricky question. Like I said, we can go take a look. But I can give you some time off now, so you can spend some time with your sister, or you can just bring her to the Moth Chasing Flame." Chen Li said.

"But boss, my current job is as a royal bodyguard... I need to protect you."

"Emmm..." Sakura said in a serious tone, leaving Chen Li with no way to refute her.

You mean, you're an assassin, and you can protect me better than my Friendship and Bonds can?

But Chen Li also really liked Ying's loyalty.

So...

"Don't worry, if I die, I can be resurrected by watching a 30-second ad."

"That makes sense." Ying suddenly understood when she thought that Chen Li only needed to watch a 30-second ad to be resurrected.

She seemed to have made up her mind and turned to leave.

"Damn it, Sakura just left so decisively! I'll deduct a month's salary from her salary and make her buy me fries!" Chen Li felt heartbroken as he watched Sakura's departing figure.

Is a life that can be revived by a 30-second ad not a life at all?

"What kind of fries cost a month's salary to buy?" Elysia asked, leaning closer.

"That's not the problem. By the way, Vill-V, come here for a moment."

"What's wrong?"

"Go and forge 13 medals based on these 13 symbols." Chen Li took out the representative symbols of the Thirteen Arbiter-Generals.

"Aren't you a blacksmith too? You've become lazy, Chen Li."

"I've been busy, haven't I?"

"What are you busy with?"

"I'm busy eating. When I'm at home, eating makes me stronger, and that's the confidence that my Gourmet Cells give me."

"Alright, then what's the point of you forging these 13 medals?"

"As you can see, these 13 medals are the future symbols of the Thirteen Arbiter-Generals. So I plan to create them and award them to you after each of you has accomplished a [Heroic Deed], to prove your status," Chen Li said.

Chen Li would also specifically instruct the high-ranking officials under his control to behave themselves and be obedient when they saw these 13 medals.

Execution first, notification later, a privilege granted by imperial authority.

This is the significance of the Thirteen Arbiter-Generals!

"Oh, I see, the [Privilege Medal], right?"

"Don't be so blunt. In short, these 13 medals are used to highlight tools and to set trends. So, in order to obtain these 13 medals, you'd better hurry up and practice summoning your own clones. Good luck!" Chen Li patted Vill-V on the shoulder.

"Once these 13 medals become [Representative of Civilization], I will collect them and forge them into Miraculous Item, which may have miraculous effects," Chen Li said.

In fact, Chen Li had already planned to go to the Current Civilization to search for treasure after some time.

According to the original plan that Chen Li had given to the Previous Civilization, Chen Li should have been able to gain a lot of good things.

"I don't need a Stand, I will surpass Stands!" Elysia, hands on her hips.

Even if you say that, the medal that belongs to you won't be given to you so soon.

"Gurgle!"

"Alright, you guys can continue practicing summoning substitutes. I should get back to my work. Sirin, Honkai energy collected yet?" Chen Li asked Sirin beside him.

"I've collected 10 World Bubble," Sirin said, pointing to the bubble that was flying around her at a steady speed.

For Sirin, constructing an empty World Bubble was not difficult.

The reason for using these World Bubble to collect Honkai energy is that Herrscher have almost no restrictions on the use of Honkai energy, but the Honkai energy in the Herrscher Core is only a small part of the Honkai energy that Herrscher can use. More Honkai energy exists in the Imaginary Space, so when Sirin went to another world, she experienced a shortage of mana.

(Similarly, because only a small portion of the Herrscher's Honkai energy exists within the Herrscher Core, God Key forged from the Herrscher Core will deplete the Herrscher Core's energy each time it reaches Zero Rated Power, requiring at least two hours to recharge. The Herrscher, however, does not have this problem.)

Therefore, at Chen Li's suggestion, Sirin constructed the Honkai energy World Bubble as an energy storage mechanism.

Only Herrschers like the Herrscher of the Herrscher of the Void, who possess the ability to manipulate Imaginary Space, can enjoy this convenience.

However, as long as they don't travel to another world, other Herrscher won't have this problem.

However, even if Sirin possesses so much Honkai energy from the World Bubble, the power limit of the Herrscher Core is still fixed.

The Herrscher of Limits is never the mechanism, but the upper limit of output.

Just like the youkai in Gensokyo.

"I feel like nine would be enough, so could I have one?" Chen Li asked, wiping his drool as he looked at the tempting World Bubble.

"Here you go." Without any hesitation, Sirin tossed a World Bubble to Chen Li, and thoughtfully shrunk World Bubble from a size slightly larger than a fist to the size of a ping-pong ball so that Chen Li could swallow it in one gulp.

"Aww! It tastes really good. I feel like my resistance to Honkai energy has increased a lot!" Chen Li felt a surge of power.

Although this wasn't Chen Li's first time consuming Honkai energy, it was Chen Li first time consuming World Bubble.

"Where are you going next? Can you take me with you?" Elysia leaned closer.

"Sure. Once I arrive in the other world, I'll use the friend function to summon you. You can just send your phantom to appear then."

"Why send a phantom? Wouldn't it be better if I went myself?"

"Because think about it, if you send a projection to travel to another world while you practice summoning Stands here, wouldn't you be doing two things at the same time? Besides, the projection's Remembrance will eventually be fed back to you."

"Hiss..." Elysia gasped.

Is this a benefit? Isn't this torture?

"Speaking of which, I think I could rent out my friend slots. After all, friends should definitely pay for something like this where they can get [Double Experience] at the same time," Chen Li thought to himself.

"Wait, do you mean that in the future you'll summon our projections to help you fight, and we'll have to pay for it?" Elysia covered her forehead, trying to understand Chen Li's words.

"I'll definitely not charge for helping me fight, but I'll have to pay if I want to participate in the double experience event. And because it's in the trial phase, there are limited spots available," Chen Li explained.

"... You're a genius! But I think this business of yours will fail. How could anyone possibly pay for this? Don't you all agree?" Elysia waved her hand, clearly expressing her skepticism about Chen Li's business.

"Indeed." Mobius nodded.

"No problem." Vill-V agreed as well.

"How could anyone possibly pay to provide an assist?"

Seeing these people confidently expressing their pessimism about their business, Chen Li thought that his business really had no future... If it weren't for the constant vibration in Chen Li's private chat channel, Chen Li would almost have believed it.

[Pink Fairy Lady]: Please reserve [Double Experience Card] slot for me, thank you.

[[Green Twisty Snake]]: I want a [Double Experience Card] slot.

[Engineer with 100% participation rate]: I want to participate in the double experience event. I'll owe you Starstones for now, and I'll pay you back with double experience later. Don't ask me who the "double" event is.

Chapter 152 Miraculous Forging Guide: My Code Takes Priority Over Yours!

"... Elysia, didn't you say there was no way anyone would pay for this business? Why are you here too?"

"You ask me? I'd like to ask you why you're here? Mobius, didn't you say you had a very important surgery to perform?"

"You guys are so despicable!"

"Vill-V, how dare you talk to us like that? Didn't you say you were going to work hard in the Engineering Department, find a way to get rid of Chen Li, the Engineering Department Head who only occupies the position but doesn't do any work, and then climb to the Moth Chasing Flame?"

"Yes, I'm working hard in the Engineering Department right now, but what does that have to do with my projector?"

"Yes, I am indeed performing a very important surgery. But I also think exploring other worlds is important."

"Hmm, why didn't Kalpas come? Could it be that Kalpas is the only honest person here?"

"That's outrageous! You guys just bully honest people!"

"Don't laugh at someone who's only slightly better than you. You're not much better than the rest of us, really."

"Don't say that. I'm seeking Chen Li's advice on forging techniques, which is quite serious."
