Giving cat food to a cat counted as a miracle, but taking the Death Note away from the cat was the greatest miracle of all!

In that Miraculous Item's notes, "Miracle" also mentioned her recent situation.

She was still trying to optimize the intelligent AI for the Forging Table's automatic Miraculous Item forging function. She said that if Chen Li felt she was working hard, he should make more entertaining things for her to watch.

"Is this really the Pixie of the Miracle System? Oh, no, this is the darkened Miracle System Pixie. Now this makes sense." Chen Li quickly came to his senses.

"Hey, wait, Jingliu, show some mercy!" Seeing the Judgment-class Honkai beast already bleeding profusely, Chen Li hurriedly ran out of the barrier, leaving Vill-V alone inside, staring blankly at the Forging Table.

Only after Chen Li had moved some distance away and the Forging Table was recalled did Vill-V turn her gaze to the side.

"Hm?" Jingliu, who was already standing on the dragon's head and only needed to deliver the final blow, turned to look at Chen Li.

"Leave the kill to me!" After saying that, Chen Li grabbed Pale Justice and charged forward.

"..." Jingliu had not expected Chen Li to stop her for such a pointless reason.

Still, Jingliu stomped hard on the dragon's head, knocking it unconscious for the moment.

To be fair, this dragon was fairly strong. Unfortunately, it had encountered Jingliu.

This Abomination Dragon was not the first one "Jingliu" had slain.

When Pale Justice pierced straight through the dragon's brow and erased the last trace of life from it, a material card slowly appeared before Chen Li, just as he had expected.

Void Herrscher's Companion Honkai Beast (Material Card): Can be used to forge Miraculous Items.

Crystal +3

Starstones +30

Unfortunately, this act was not recorded in the Travel Chronicle.

Perhaps the Miraculous Forging Guide did not simply worship strength, perhaps Chen Li had contributed too little, or perhaps this was not enough to merit recognition.

Perhaps I should forge an offensive Miraculous Item for myself. Chen Li truly felt that his direct combat strength was lacking.

He could not just summon the Miracle Barrier every time he encountered trouble. After all, it cost Crystals.

"Remember the promise you made to me." Jingliu tossed the Scattered Light Sword aside and spoke to Chen Li.

If she had a suitable sword in hand, Jingliu would never have used that one.

At this stage, Jingliu still lacked the ability to condense moonlight into a sword.

"Sure, no problem. But you may need to wait a while, because I'm looking for a path to your world. And even if I find one in a few days, several years or even decades may have passed for you." Chen Li said.

"It does not matter. Time holds no meaning for me."

"Then I have one more presumptuous request." Chen Li said somewhat awkwardly.

"Speak."

"If we encounter enemies in the future, could you keep taking action?" Before Jingliu left, Chen Li reached toward the Scattered Light Sword and asked after seeing the Dragon Slayer modifier forming on it.

Although Chen Li had stolen the kill, the concept of Dragon Slayer seemed to still belong to Jingliu.

"...Very well." After thinking it over, Jingliu agreed.

This was merely a projection. Being summoned would not affect Jingliu's main body.

"Of course, I have additional compensation for you as well. I can make you a Miraculous Item that suppresses your Mara-Struck condition, and you won't need to provide the materials. I'll prepare them." Chen Li said.

Because it would not be difficult. He only needed modifiers such as sanity or calmness.

Yet it could earn him a Dragon Slayer modifier, perhaps even more than one.

"Fine." Jingliu nodded.

"Then... goodbye. If you don't leave soon, a girl might latch onto you in a moment." Chen Li said slowly as he watched a figure approach from afar on a motorcycle, trailing dust behind her.

As Jingliu disappeared, the Scattered Light Sword also dissipated. However, like Argenti, she left behind a card.

It seemed Jingliu had a fairly favorable impression of Chen Li, the Miraculous Forger who could help her summon Baiheng. At the very least, she did not dislike him.

Cloud Knight Swordmaster's Training: Unlock usage permission after slaying ten Abundance prey.

"Emmm..."

Leaving aside where Chen Li was supposed to find ten Abundance Fiends, learning cultivation from Jingliu would not involve being cut down hundreds or thousands of times like Blade, would it?

Besides, he still had not used Knight of Beauty's Training after unlocking it, because he had been busy all this time.

Other than that, Chen Li keenly noticed that after Jingliu disappeared, the Dragon Slayer modifier transferred onto Pale Justice.

Just as Chen Li was pondering Pale Justice's summoning mechanism, a motorcycle drifted to a stop right in front of him, missing him by a hair.

"Hi, did you miss me?" Elysia asked as she looked at Chen Li, who was right before her.

"I missed you so much I could die. By the way, why does your salary card have the sound effect, 'Beep, pretty girl card'?" Chen Li complained.

"Huh? Am I not a pretty girl?"

"You are, but... forget it." Chen Li suddenly felt that, as someone using another person's salary card, he had no right to be picky.

"Um, Little Li, I want to ask you something..." After getting off the motorcycle, Elysia leaned close to Chen Li's ear and whispered.

"What is it?"

"That white-haired girl who was standing on that Honkai beast just now, is she..."

"...I knew it." Chen Li sighed, rubbing his forehead.

PS: There will be three more chapters at midnight. Let's also push for the rankings. Dear readers who can't stay up can read them tomorrow morning.

Elysia: Black stockings? I'm wearing them. Want to see?

"Just tell me." Elysia circled around Chen Li, wanting to know Jingliu's name.

"Shouldn't you be more concerned about Vill-V, who is wanted by Moth Chasing Flame, and the Void Herrscher's Companion Honkai Beast that the white-haired girl and I killed together?"

"Huh, so this is the one who sent the challenge letter? What a cute girl. Your name is Vill-V, right? That's a lovely name." Chen Li successfully diverted Elysia's attention.

While Elysia was distracted, Chen Li stored the dragon's corpse away just before the late-arriving Moth Chasing Flame members reached them.

This action also caused a disturbance, granting him 15 Starstones.

This temporary base where Vill-V was located was not far from the Moth Chasing Flame base to begin with. Naturally, Moth Chasing Flame had detected the arrival of the Judgment-class Honkai beast.

They had simply been on their way here the entire time.

"Vill-V, congratulations on being rescued, but you're also under arrest." After dealing with things here, Chen Li finally approached Elysia and Vill-V.

The Moth Chasing Flame soldiers who had arrived had already placed Vill-V under close guard.

"Is it too late for me to surrender now?" Vill-V asked.

"Probably. But if you're talented enough, you could still choose to join Moth Chasing Flame. I just can't offer you any help in that regard." Chen Li said with some regret.

Because Chen Li was an outsider, an openly acknowledged outsider.

If Chen Li wanted to exchange benefits, those Moth Chasing Flame higher-ups would welcome it eagerly.

But if Chen Li wanted to interfere with Moth Chasing Flame, they would become exceptionally vigilant.

Those who are not of our kind are bound to have different hearts.

In fact, there were probably only two people in all of Moth Chasing Flame who currently observed Chen Li without prejudice.

One was Elysia. That needed no explanation.

The other was Mobius, because she viewed everyone equally as lab rats.

"I see... Then I want to ask you a question." Vill-V did not care about the Moth Chasing Flame soldiers who had already surrounded her.

"What question?"

"Can everyone in Moth Chasing Flame be as miraculous as you? I'm very interested in your ability to forge miraculous objects." With a flip of her hand, Vill-V produced the Crystal bearing the Wind Riding modifier that she had received from Chen Li.

"Of course not. And I can't teach you either. But... if you want to study me and develop something new, you're more than welcome to." After taking back the Crystal, Chen Li looked at Vill-V expectantly.

Chen Li truly looked forward to seeing what modifiers Vill-V might nurture next.

"Fine, it's a deal." Vill-V revealed a delighted smile, as though an unsolvable challenge had appeared before her.

It was the peculiar thrill only a genius felt when facing difficulties.

"Do your best. Try becoming Moth Chasing Flame's Engineering Department Head instead of Moth Chasing Flame's prisoner."

"Oh, you have that much confidence in me?"

"Of course." Chen Li nodded.

"Good. Then tell your Engineering Department Head to wash up and wait for me. I'll come find him." Vill-V said confidently.

"...I am the Engineering Department Head."

"Huh?"

"Elysia, come over here for a moment." After Vill-V obediently got into the vehicle, Chen Li called Elysia aside.

"What is it?" Elysia occasionally glanced toward Vill-V's vehicle, seemingly worried that Vill-V might be receiving unfair treatment.

"You're wearing the black stockings I forged for you, right?" Chen Li glanced at Elysia's slender legs wrapped in knee-high boots.

Those boots really were quite concealing.

Chen Li knew Elysia was wearing them because he could sense the location of every Miraculous Item, but he could not admit that directly.

"Mm, I'm wearing them. So... do you want to see?" Elysia gently tilted her head.

"How about adding each other as friends?"

"Huh, that's all it was for?" Elysia seemed somewhat disappointed.

"Your acting is good. Don't overdo it next time."

"I was just... forget it. Looking at how serious you are, it seems the friend you mentioned isn't an ordinary communicator friend?" Elysia asked.

"Mm. It's a special function that can summon you to my world with your permission." Chen Li nodded.

"You're... going back?"

"I've been out for a while, so naturally I need to go back and take a look." Chen Li nodded.

"Then I won't ask why you want to add me as a friend, lest I get a disappointing answer. So what should I do?" Elysia readily agreed without much thought.

"Of course I want to add you as a friend because I've been captivated by the beautiful Miss Elysia, so I want to see you often. As for adding friends, as long as you possess a Miraculous Item, leave the rest to me." Chen Li said solemnly.

"So now you don't admit that the beauty of the beautiful goddess Idrila is unparalleled in the world?" Elysia asked with a smile.

"Idrila's beauty is unparalleled in the world, but does that have anything to do with me being captivated by the beautiful Elysia? That said, beautiful Miss Elysia, you wouldn't mind lending me a hand when I'm in danger, would you?" Chen Li clasped his hands together and spoke devoutly.

"I would be happier without that last sentence." Elysia lightly tapped Chen Li on the forehead with her finger.

"I know. But I would never deceive the beautiful Miss Elysia."

"Mm, I'm even happier now." The Pink Fairy Lady nodded in satisfaction.

Novice Task (2)

Add one friend √

Friend, written as support, read as hired muscle.

After the other party receives a Miraculous Item gifted by him, and conceptually possesses the right to use that Miraculous Item, a friend relationship (contract) can be formed through Miracle (Crystal -1) as the medium.

Chen Li could use 1 Starstone to make the other party's spacetime projection, or the other party's main body holding a Miraculous Item, appear before him.

Simply put, if he could not win, he could call for backup.

And after calling someone over, Chen Li held a certain degree of command authority over his friends.

This function was perfectly reasonable. What kind of Forger personally went into battle to hammer people?

Pale Justice appearing as a Miraculous Item, on the other hand, had been entirely unexpected.

Compared to Pale Justice, the advantage of this function was stable summoning, no side effect of having to grant the other party's wish, and no limit on the number of people he could call.

If it had to be called a drawback, it was that it cost 1 Starstone.

And that 1 Starstone was both the fee for summoning the other party's projection and the other party's reward.
