Little Herta: I just wanted to see that jealous look on your face, Herta!

"You know her nickname. Without her Friends Circle presence, you could indeed have died from her assassination attempt. So it's best to be careful," Chen Li reminded her again, seeing that Herta didn't seem to care.

"Huh? I'm not afraid of her. Let her chase me to another world if she dares. I'll just start living in your house tomorrow! Besides, don't you have a resurrection Miraculous Item? If I die, you can watch the ads to revive me!" the Herta dolls said disdainfully.

With the Miraculous Item resurrection, what are we afraid of?

"... Why me?"

"Chen Li, you just said that we are best friends, brothers, and dearest family and friends!"

"... Alright then."

"Besides, if she dares to assassinate me, I will spend all my wealth to have you create a magical Miraculous Item that can kill her in one blow! Like I said, I can make countless mistakes, but she can make one!" Herta was extremely excited.

You've ruined so many of my opportunities to step outside my Circle of Knowledge, I'll fight you to the death!

"Yes, yes, so could you please calm down? You don't just want to openly toy with her, but also to keep her completely unaware of who you are at first, and then reveal your identity at the end—just like she did with you. So try not to reveal your identity too quickly," Chen Li reassured Herta.

As for whether Polka Kakamu will be angry?

The Herta is right, so what is the Herta afraid of!

"Hmph, enough said, I'm off!" Carrying the pale justice of the Herta, she angrily headed to a relatively secluded cabin. Then, she summoned her dolls and used the most ordinary black cloth from another world, which she had purchased from Yakumo Yukari, to cover up everything in the cabin that might reveal its origin, including the wallpaper.

Having done all this, Herta, wearing Disguise Glasses, proudly inserted the Destiny Invitation Key into the most ordinary door.

As Chen Li said, as long as they are not among the top few Aeon in the Honkai: Star Rail world, all other characters can be invited to the Invitation Space by the Destiny Invitation Key.

Polka Kakamu was no exception.

"Hehehe!" Herta, unable to suppress his laughter, stepped into the Invitation Space and closed the door behind him, looking at the figure inside wearing a flamboyant candy-colored evening dress and holding a dagger (scalpel).

Your ability to manifest along the causal chain is indeed powerful, but what if I am not manifesting in my true form, and the Invitation Space itself has the effect of isolating causality?

"Screwllum, what do you think... will happen inside the door?" Chen Li asked, looking at the footage transmitted back from the monitoring Friends Circle Terminal.

"Why don't we just ask Herta? She's already out," Screwllum suggested.

"Oh right, if you close the door, real time is frozen!" Because he hadn't closed the door while talking to the person he was meeting, Chen Li had completely forgotten about this.

Chen Li noticed that the Herta, which had emerged from the Invitation Space, seemed somewhat disheveled.

"Let's go, let's go see what's going on." Chen Li dragged Screwllum directly to the scene.

Although it was said to be going to the scene, it was actually just two doors away.

"Cough cough, Chen Li, that Nurgle Knight you summoned for me is disgusting." Herta complained to Chen Li as soon as he entered the room.

"???"

No, Prison, before we set off, you repeatedly emphasized that I should summon a sufficiently disgusting knight for you, or you wouldn't pay me. Now you're complaining that the knight I summoned for you is too disgusting...

Are you here to cause trouble?

"I'm not complaining about you, it's just that I really didn't expect that Nurgle Knight to be so disgusting that he couldn't distinguish friend from foe." Seeing Chen Li's speechless expression, Herta knew what he was saying, so he added.

"Just tell me, is it effective or not?"

"This... is indeed good." Herta couldn't help but nod.

Although the Nurgle Knight did indeed annoy Polka Kakame in the process, he also annoyed Herta, but Herta was an ally and suffered far less than Polka Kakame.

At least the Herta didn't...

Forget it, I won't go into details. That scene was just too brutal!

"These Miraculous Item of yours are really useful. The Disguise Glasses ensure I won't be recognized by... that woman. The Friends Circle will prevent me from being assassinated, giving me enough time to see her embarrassing moments. And the Joy Dice is even more impressive... Chen Li, these dice are truly amazing." Herta praised Chen Li's Joy Dice highly.

The key to Herta's success in annoying Silent Lord was the Joy Dice.

Although the combined power of the Herta dolls and the Nurgle Knights is no match for Polka Kakamo's scalpel, don't forget that the Joy Dice, besides helping the user solve their current troubles, has another effect—an effect Chen Li has never used before:

[Bet on Winning or Losing]: Users can select an object and randomly roll a die to obtain a number. When the number is less than or equal to 10, you will become the other person's entertainment in the following events. When the number is greater than 10, the other person will become your entertainment or randomly encounter an Elation event and become the ultimate beneficiary. There is no limit to the number of times you can use this method on the same object.

Your ability to manipulate probability is undoubtedly unparalleled, but What If probability is on my side?

Therefore, during the 30 minutes in the Invitation Space, Polka Kakamu should have been providing entertainment for the Herta the whole time.

Theoretically speaking, the Herta with the Joy Dice doesn't even need to use Friends Circle, but Friends Circle can increase the margin for error.

Who says that fun can't hurt people?

The Aeon of Joy must have something to say!

"Of course, this is One-star Artifact, a Miraculous Item that can even rival the world, and the Joy Dice is my masterpiece. By the way, what number did you roll?"

"5," Herta said sheepishly.

"... You're pretty unlucky, but thankfully, the Joy Dice were already full before I lent them to you."

For some reason, after acquiring this Joy Dice, Chen Li found himself surrounded by fun and never lacked Joy Points.

"Oh, right, here's your Friends Circle back..." Herta returned the metal circle to Chen Li.

"Hmm? Why are there so few more friendships and Bonds in my Friends Circle? How many times have you been hurt by her?" After observing the status of his Friends Circle, Chen Li couldn't help but look at Herta.

"It's nothing. I'll cover the cost of preparing the Friends Circle Terminals for those friends, one set of 5- Starstones, right? Consider it a debt I owe you, and I'll pay you back double later." Before Chen Li could ask any questions, he saw Herta quickly slip away with small, quick steps.

"The Starstones isn't the key issue; the key issue is that Silver Wolf's contact information is gone, and Silver Wolf didn't even have a backup of his Friends Circle Terminal!" Chen Li sighed as he looked at this wave of Friendship and Bonds that had died.

Although Yakumo Yukari and Yagokoro Eirin, those two unlucky girls, were also consumed as friends, they both had backups.

The only good news right now is that the Friends Circle Terminal given to the Tingyun hasn't been activated yet, so it hasn't been used up.

"Well, we'll have to stick to the backup plan," Chen Li said helplessly.

Chapter 170 Little Herta: I just want to see that jealous look on your Herta!

"Ruan Mei, thank you for coming all this way... although all you need to do is hand over your phone to me for a few minutes." Chen Li said to the aloof beauty standing in front of him.

Nguyen Mai, the 81st member of the Genius Society, has made remarkable achievements in the field of life sciences, yet she remains low-key and lives a secluded life.

Only when facing Ruan Mei directly can one truly appreciate her cool and stunning beauty. Her face is delicate and gentle, her eyebrows and eyes are like paintings, and her slightly downturned eyes reveal a scholar's unique calmness and restraint. Her pupils are clear and bright, as cold as ice crystals, echoing the character's ice-attribute setting. Her long black hair is styled in a classic updo, adorned with plum blossom-shaped hair ornaments or jade hairpins, appearing both dignified and lively.

Wearing a variant cheongsam with a slit in an ink-wash color scheme, paired with a slender and well-proportioned figure, she gives off a very classic image of a gentle and graceful woman from the South, and her fair and long legs are sure to inspire admiration.

The Lady. Nguyen Mai's amazing limited-time return is here!

"It's alright, I'll just take this opportunity to experience the sharing effect of Friends Circle." Ruan Mei shook her head, unlocked her phone, went to the public account sharing interface, and handed the phone to Chen Li.

Ruan Mei had always been curious about the sharing function of Friends Circle, and took the opportunity of this visit to the Herta Space Station to test it out.

The Friends Circle has indeed brought friends closer together, and because sending messages consumes chat history, the chat atmosphere within the Miraculous Item Group has become very active.

Although the topic being discussed was quite abstract, Chen Li could understand it.

As long as we don't talk about anything inappropriate or harmful to the kids in the group, it's fine.

In fact, Chen Li was also surprised that his friend Ruan Mei had not been sacrificed.

Perhaps... after the user Friends Circle prioritized the relationships between the current user and others, sacrificing the relationships with strangers?

The relationship between Herta and Nguyen Mai is self-evident.

"Where is the Herta?"

Ruan Mei looked around and saw only Screwllum and Chen Li drinking tea (or engine oil) together, but she couldn't see Herta or the Herta dolls.

"He caused trouble and ran away," Chen Li said irritably.

Chen Li still doesn't understand why Herta could still consume 12 Friends Circle Bonds after using the Joy Dice to make Polka Kaka suffer a great misfortune.

You should know that after this Miraculous Item in the Friends Circle" is upgraded to One-star Artifact, although its defensive function hasn't fundamentally changed, it gains a three-second invulnerability effect after each fatal attack it withstands... meaning it's immune to all damage. During this time, being attacked won't consume "Friends," unless the attack's intensity exceeds the One-star Artifact's maximum tolerance.

But if Polka Kaka's attack exceeds the tolerance limit of One-star Artifact, Chen Li will twist off the Herta's head and use it as a ball for Polka Kaka to kick!

Therefore, Herta didn't just make 12 mistakes, but probably made countless mistakes.

Therefore, Chen Li was very surprised at how Herta managed to do it.

Could it be that even knowing the opponent could trigger your legendary sword effect with a single strike, you still walk right up to them to taunt them?

No... that can't be, right?

It doesn't seem impossible.

Of the 12 Friends Circle Bond by the Herta, Chen Li has already replenished the Friends Circle Terminals for the other players. Now, the Friends Circle Terminals have been reduced in cost and increased in efficiency; each terminal only requires one Starstones to 3D print.

Only the unlucky little Silver Wolf, who is probably still catching up on sleep, remains out of contact.

Now Chen Li is about to solve this problem.

Chen Li picked up Ruan Mei's phone and began engraving words with the Miracle Crystal.

Both Screwllum, who had seen Chen Li's "engraving technique" several times, and Ruan Mei, who had never seen it before, were curious about this technique, so they both crowded around Chen Li.

"Done! Send!" After sketching for a while, Chen Li clicked "Publish".

"Attention, Silver Wolf of Stellaron Hunter, Silver Wolf of Stellaron Hunter, your mother has given you your favorite game console and put it in the usual place. Please check it." Upon seeing this message, Ruan Mei and Screwllum spoke in unison, under the influence of the Miracle's power, revealing the content of the message Chen Li had just released.

"Screwllum, you need to quickly put the new Friends Circle Terminal at the place where you gave the terminal to Silver Wolf last time. This time, I'll give you two!" Chen Li said, handing two Friends Circle Terminals to Screwllum.

"... Okay." Screwllum nodded.

"I'm sure she'll be very touched that I went to so much trouble to notify Silver Wolf to pick up the Friends Circle Terminal. What can I do? I care about every single friend in my Friends Circle," Chen Li said emotionally.

"..." by Screwllum.

Based on Screwllum's understanding of that hacker girl, if Silver Wolf was still catching up on sleep, hearing this news would wake him up in anger. And if Silver Wolf was already awake, hearing this news would make him faint from anger.

"Ruan Mei, you can delete this message now. As for what kind of message to send, you can decide for yourself," Chen Li said after handing the phone back to Ruan Mei.

"Hmm." Having experienced the influence of the Source Text so closely for the first time, Nguyen Mai felt her eyes had been opened.

Just like Screwllum and Herta, Nguyen Mai also issued a supplementary statement.

Ruan Mei: [Sorry, my account was just hacked by Stellaron Hunter Silver Wolf. How could Stellaron Hunter Silver Wolf be so mean!]

"???" Looking at the statement that Ruan Mei herself had edited and sent, Chen Li looked at Ruan Mei in surprise, then at the message, and then at Ruan Mei again.

No, buddy!

Are they not even going to put on an act?

While the explanations following both the meme-level messages from Screwllum and Herta were perfunctory, this time, the message specifically named Silver Wolf and claimed that the account was stolen by Silver Wolf...

Chen Li is now starting to think about how to explain to Silver Wolf so that Silver Wolf can believe that this resentment message was really sent by Ruan Mei, and not his own idea.

Ruan Mei, I originally thought only that guy Herta could come up with such an abstract piece of work, but I never expected that you, Ruan Mei, with your thick eyebrows and big eyes, could also be so abstract!

"What, is there a problem? I saw that the explanation was the same the first two times. Isn't this a standard template?" Ruan Mei asked softly after sending the message, seeing Chen Li's hesitant expression.

"Did you do it on purpose or by accident?" Chen Li could only manage to utter this question after a long pause.

"I thought this was a regular thing between you and Silver Wolf. Do you need me to clarify this for you?" Ruan Mei asked with a light laugh.

"Never mind, that's fine. Let it be. I hope Silver Wolf will believe that I didn't instigate this resend of the message." Chen Li sighed.

Can Silver Wolf be trusted?

It's highly unlikely.

"By the way, Ruan Mei and Screwllum, did you two click on the Resurrection Card link? How's your progress in collecting Resurrection Card fragments?" Chen Li thought that since he was unhappy, he might as well find a way to make everyone unhappy, so he brought up this topic.

Unsurprisingly, both Screwllum and Nguyen Mai fell silent when faced with this topic.

"Question: Chen Li, are you sure you didn't secretly adjust the drop rate of Resurrection Card fragments?" Screwllum spoke first.

"Of course not. If I didn't want you to revive the people you wanted to revive, wouldn't it have been better to just block you during the approval of the Resurrection Cards? Why would I block you during the process of collecting Resurrection Cards?" Chen Li said innocently.

"That's the problem with the Miraculous Item; perhaps that's part of the price," Ruan Mei sighed.

As an expert in the field of life sciences, having actually tried to resurrect her deceased parents, disregarding the nature of biological reincarnation, and even attracting the Erudition genius, Nguyen Mai understands all too well the price that must be paid to resurrect a life.

"So how many Resurrection Card fragments have you two collected? And which fragment are you missing?" Chen Li asked curiously.

As the only designated VIP in the Revival Match, Chen Li has the privilege of being revived simply by watching a 30-second ad. In addition, Chen Li really busy, so he has never tried to collect Resurrection Card fragments. Therefore, he has no idea how incredible the drop rate of the last Resurrection Card fragment is.

"I currently have 89 fragments, of which, except for fragment number 7, there are between 7 and 10 fragments of each number," Screwllum said.

"I currently have 369 fragments. Apart from fragment number 3, the probability of the other fragment numbers appearing is relatively average," Nguyen Mai said.

"369 fragments? Hmmm... May I ask, what are your current impressions of the Herta and the Robin?"

369 fragments is equivalent to watching ads non-stop for more than 3 hours, and you can't look away while watching ads, otherwise you will be redirected to the product page.
