Miraculous Forger Starting from Honkai

You could always trust the Miracle Barrier. At the very least, no matter how the terrifying dragon-shaped Honkai beast before Chen Li and Vill-V attacked, it could not break through the barrier's defenses.

The reason Chen Li had waited until now to deal with the problem was not to waste Crystals.

"What's your name?" Chen Li asked.

"Vill-V."

"Vill-V. That's a lovely name. Because of you, I wasted a Crystal summoning this barrier, so you owe me one," Chen Li said.

"How am I supposed to pay you back? Or rather, what do you want?" Seeing Chen Li's unhurried expression, Vill-V felt that he did not seem surprised by the situation at all.

"I want your..."

"Hm?" Vill-V took a step back.

"Pocket watch," Chen Li said.

"This?" After a brief daze, Vill-V took a pocket watch from her pocket and held it out to Chen Li.

"Yes, that one." Seeing the pocket watch gleaming with golden light, Chen Li grabbed it and finally saw the attributes it had nurtured.

Mechanical, Spiral

The former had already finished nurturing, while the latter was still in progress.

After fiddling with it for a while, he tossed the pocket watch back to Vill-V.

That was why Chen Li had been willing to spend a Crystal to summon the barrier—he could collect protection money with perfect justification!

With his fortune of 34 Crystals, Chen Li could afford to spend one.

Besides, Chen Li happened to need to forge a Miraculous Item.

"This is the first pocket watch I ever repaired myself. Be more careful with it. But why did you give it back? Changed your mind?" Vill-V complained after catching it.

"Keep it for now. When the time is right, I'll come collect that pocket watch. Right now, the priority is eliminating the Honkai beast in front of us." Chen Li looked up at the Judgment-class Honkai beast glaring viciously at him and attacking without pause.

Chen Li had lured it here.

Using the Herrscher of the Void material card he possessed.

Because the card said that if he took it out in the Honkai world, there was a high chance it would attract the Herrscher of the Void's accompanying Honkai beast.

So Chen Li had planned to find somewhere secluded, lure the Honkai beast over, and chop it up.

Then, while Chen Li sat in his wheelchair singing, Vill-V noticed him.

Vill-V watched Chen Li with great interest, wanting to know how someone from Moth Chasing Flame would handle a situation like this.

Then Chen Li produced a longsword out of thin air.

"We Cloud Knights, like clouds obscuring the sky, shield the Xianzhou!" After gathering himself for a moment, Chen Li shouted.

Chen Li had not chosen his good brother Argenti.

Because he had suddenly realized that this sword could summon knights, and Cloud Knights were knights too!

It cost neither Crystals nor Starstones, so why not try it?

As for the price? It might not necessarily be a price. It could also be a new forging commission.

Chen Li felt that, apart from randomly refreshing forging commissions, summoning knights with Pale Justice and then finding a way to fulfill their requests was also incredibly cost-effective.

Who would refuse the chance to obtain a Miraculous Item?

It just so happened that Jingliu and Argenti were from the same world.

It seemed that he would have to visit the Honkai: Star Rail world sooner or later.

A pale moonlight appeared and vanished, swaying the heart and soul.

When everything fell silent, a white-haired girl stood before Chen Li.

"You are?" The girl named Jingliu stared at Chen Li.

"My name is Chen Li. I am a Miraculous Forger. As long as you provide the materials, I am willing to forge a Miraculous Item for you. But before that, I hope you can slay the vicious beast before us." Chen Li pointed at the Judgment-class Honkai beast behind Jingliu.

"A Miraculous Item?"

"Yes."

"I have no need for one." Jingliu shook her head, holding a blood-red longsword.

"But I can help you slay this beast. The price is... if you have the means in the future, help me kill ten Abundance Fiends." After being summoned, Jingliu had learned that Chen Li needed to fulfill one reasonable request of hers as part of his cultivation.

Although being summoned out of nowhere was indeed abrupt, challenging powerful enemies was one of Jingliu's greatest interests.

"Name-Sunderer?" Chen Li froze when he saw the blood-red longsword in Jingliu's hand.

If Chen Li remembered correctly, this sword had apparently been forged for Jingliu by Yingxing—the Stellaron Hunter Blade.

And logically speaking, after the Imbibitor Lunae Rebellion, Jingliu would use this sword to kill Blade thousands of times before returning it to him.

"You know it?" Jingliu seemed somewhat surprised that Chen Li recognized the name of the sword in her hand.

"The Imbibitor Lunae Rebellion hasn't happened yet?" Chen Li found that strange and asked directly.

"It seems you truly have heard of my story. But the truth differs somewhat from what you imagine. I know of the Imbibitor Lunae Rebellion. However, the me before you is merely one stage of my life. A stage... that resonates with the summoning words you spoke just now." Jingliu glanced at Chen Li as she spoke.

"Oh, I understand."

No matter which stage of his life he was in, Argenti acknowledged that the Aeon of Beauty Idrila possessed peerless beauty.

However, the phrase "shield the Xianzhou" only applied to Jingliu before she experienced the Imbibitor Lunae Rebellion, resulting in this unusual phenomenon.

"Then I have another question. What time is the real you in? Has the Ambrosial Arbor been reborn?"

"The Ambrosial Arbor reborn? No. And you have too many questions." Jingliu replied coldly.

"The Miraculous Items you know and the ones I'm talking about are somewhat different. By Miraculous Items, I mean objects that can even alter the rules. In theory, I could even create an item that resurrects the dead. I can help you, truly." Chen Li tried to persuade her.

The Honkai: Star Rail world also had the concept of Miraculous Items; anything even slightly unusual could be called one.

"...Do you think I would still believe in resurrection?" Jingliu sneered.

"Then have you considered something? Since I can summon you with this sword, couldn't I summon Baiheng with it too? The Cloud Knight Army has 'knights,' and foxian pilots are still 'warriors,' aren't they?"

"???" Jingliu paused.

That made sense.

"Even if, taking ten thousand steps back, I can't summon Baiheng, can't I forge a longsword specifically meant to summon foxian pilots?" Chen Li asked again.

"...What do I need to pay?" Having personally witnessed the power of Pale Justice, Jingliu was persuaded by Chen Li.

"If possible, you should find some materials related to Heroic Spirits. If we can extract a Heroic Spirit attribute, there may be a strong chance of summoning Baiheng. Once I reach your world, I will naturally forge a Miraculous Item for you. I don't know when that will be, but you can wait, can't you?" Chen Li said.

"Fine. I'll trust you once. First, I'll deal with this vicious beast for you." Jingliu brandished her sword and shot toward the Judgment-class Honkai beast.

A round of pure moonlight descended from the sky. When it shone upon the Judgment-class Honkai beast, the pristine moonlight instantly turned into endless blood-red radiance.

Chen Li glanced at the Judgment-class Honkai beast, which had instantly fallen into a disadvantage, then paid it no further attention.

As the Sword Champion of the Xianzhou Luofu, the creator of the Cloud Knight Army's undefeated reputation, and the famed Transcendent Flash, killing the Herrscher of the Void's accompanying beast was no trouble for Jingliu.

Though the Herrscher of the Void's accompanying beast was Judgment-class, Judgment-class Honkai beasts differed in strength as well.

Furthermore, during the early stages of civilization's development, Honkai beasts were nowhere near as absurdly powerful as they would become later.

Having secured another commission in advance, Chen Li tossed two Crystals into the Forging Table and began forging a new Miraculous Item.

Chen Li did indeed possess a Heroic Spirit attribute, and it was quite bright.

But Chen Li had a use for it.

Chen Li had a bold idea.

Chen Li wanted to forge a Hall of Heroes during the Previous Civilization era!

To that end, he was collecting the attributes of the 13 Imanity.

Meanwhile, Vill-V, who had no idea what was happening but was curious about everything, looked around at whatever caught her interest. In the end, her gaze settled on the forge burning with Miracle Fire.

What wonderful flames...

No engineer could refuse flames this wonderful!

Within those flames, Vill-V seemed to see a Miracle.

Snap! Chen Li snapped his fingers.

Starstones -10

"Meow." A kitten with a bag of cat food in its mouth darted out of Chen Li's shadow.

"All right, Huahua. Give me your favorite cat food." Chen Li smiled at the kitten.

Then he glanced at his newly added commission.

Infinite Cat Food: Create a food bowl that produces infinite cat food for this kitten, who could even become the world's new master.

Requester: Huahua (a kitten possessing both the abilities of "Death Note" and "College Student Check-In")

Reward: 1–10 Crystals

Risk: Low

Because the ride back to Moth Chasing Flame in his wheelchair had been unbearably boring, Chen Li had refreshed an unknown Miracle Commission.

When he saw this commission, Chen Li was completely dumbfounded.

Later, after repeatedly confirming it through the video call function included with Miracle Commission, he discovered that this truly was an "ordinary" magical kitten.

Its only unusual trait was that it possessed a Death Note.

And it also had an ability—College Student Check-In.

Who knew what kind of devilish combination that was?

What had college students ever done to deserve this?

In the end, they agreed that Chen Li would make it a bowl that produced Infinite Cat Food, and it would give the Death Note to Chen Li.

A decision that left everyone happy.

And the kitten's greatest demand was... there had to be lots of freeze-dried treats in the cat food!

A cat's savings really were easy to swindle.

PS: I'm thinking about the title. They said that at first glance, my title doesn't look like fanfiction, but an original work.9

Chen Li: Me? Kill ten Abundance Fiends?

Infinite, Binding

Chen Li had to admit that the Desert Eagle with Infinite Bullets, which he had randomly drawn from Starsea Trove for five Starstones, did have something going for it—just not much.

You could say it had no technical merit, yet it had infinite bullets.

You could say it had technical merit, yet the extracted Infinite attribute possessed a delicate beauty that seemed too fragile to withstand a breeze.

Fortunately, the kitten's demands were not high. Chen Li barely managed to fix the Infinite attribute onto the cat food, threw in a food bowl as a friendly bonus, and also gave away the equally dim Binding attribute.

Because its construction was simple, it only cost two Crystals. It was the cheapest Miraculous Item yet. Profession experience +2.

After bidding farewell to the satisfied kitten, Chen Li looked at the Death Note in his hand and still felt as though he were dreaming.

The truth proved that apart from the Crystal rewards, Chen Li had to negotiate the other compensation for Miracle Commissions himself.

Haggling was an art as well.

Death, lifespan, records, fate, rules...

Looking at the attributes on the Death Note, Chen Li resolved to spend more Crystals refreshing Miracle Commissions in the future.

Getting a good commission meant profit!

Weak, pitiful, and gullible kittens...

Hehe...

And precisely because he had traded the Death Note away from the other party and prevented certain tragedies from occurring, Chen Li received the maximum reward of ten Crystals, along with an extra 100 Starstones.
