Chapter 2672 / Chapter 2673

"This is wing powder I collected from the body of the Propagation Aeon after she was transformed. It has the effect of amplifying anyone's attraction to the opposite sex, and it's a filtered and purified version. I want to add it to the cake."

To this end, Vita even used the [Alchemy Table] to break down the wing powder, removing most of the useless components and retaining only the pure effect of amplifying favorability.

This is a genuine amplification of goodwill, not some kind of rhetoric.

Vita simply didn't believe that Chen Li could look at her with empty eyes.

"You... you actually did such a despicable thing! No, I have to tell my husband." Hearing Vita's blatant explanation, Fu Xuan stammered.

"Oh? Doesn't Fu Xuan have confidence in his own charm? That's true. This kind of thing can only amplify Chen Li's attraction to other women; it can't create something out of nothing. Sigh, that's a real pity. If Fu Xuan doesn't have confidence in his own charm, then..." Vita looked at Fu Xuan with some pity, then shook her head regretfully.

"Who, who said I lack confidence! Let's give it a try!" Fu Xuan's face flushed red.

"That's good." Vita nodded in satisfaction.

As expected, Fu Xuan was indeed the easiest guy to deal with.

Of course, it's also possible that Fu Xuan originally wanted to participate, but was too embarrassed to say so directly.

"So answer my question, whose cake is the worst? If it's too delicious, the flavor of the chicken wing powder can't be masked," Vita asked again.

Upon hearing Vita's words, almost everyone present turned their gaze to Raiden Ei, who was hiding behind the crowd, at almost the same moment.

Raiden Ei pursed his lips in dissatisfaction, but still stepped forward and reached out to take the test tube from Vita's hand.

The words may be rough, but the principle is sound... and everything is for Chen Li's sake.

"It can't be too bad, after all, cake is meant to be shared." Vita shook her head and said after dodging Raiden Ei's hand.

Hearing this, Raiden Ei became even more dissatisfied, but she wanted to refute it yet felt at a loss for words.

After hearing Vita's additional conditions, everyone's gaze turned to another person.

"What? In your eyes, this genius is just a kitchen idiot who can't even bake a cake?" The Great Herta snorted coldly, crossing his arms as he felt everyone's gaze.

"No, no, I've suddenly changed my mind. I feel that using the aroma of the cake to mask the taste of the wing powder is perfectly feasible, so I hope Ms. Herta can take on this important task of making a delicious cake." Vita said with a grin as she stepped forward.

Facing the expectant gazes of the crowd, Great Herta flicked a strand of hair that fell across her forehead, revealing a pair of eyes that held a hint of arrogance and disdain. She extended her slender fingers to take the test tube from Vita's hand, and then directly opened a Teleportation Gate back home in front of her.

"Just you wait, you'll see how wrong I am when I make a fragrant and soft little cake." Before stepping towards the Teleportation Gate, the Great Herta couldn't help but turn back and glare at everyone.

What a bunch of tasteless bastards!

"Don't push yourself, just play to your normal level." Vita waved to the Great Herta without any concern.

"Tsk." The Great Herta curled its lip in displeasure and stepped into the Teleportation Gate.

"Speaking of which, haven't we forgotten something? For example, Chen Li has [Gourmet Cells], will he really be affected by this thing?"

Chapter 2672

"For example, Chen Li seems to be back soon, and we don't seem to have time to decorate Chen Li's house." Xing said somewhat uncertainly after watching the Great Herta leave.

But after Xing finished speaking, she found that Vita's gaze had fallen on her.

"So we'll have to rely on the wish you just asked Chen Li for. Go and temporarily borrow Chen Li's [Gourmet Cells]." Vita patted Xing on the shoulder.

"Ah, me?" Xing pointed to herself.

"That's right. How about you use your wish to delay Chen Li for a while?" Vita nodded, then turned to look at Firefly beside her.

"Why should we? We've both put in so much effort." Xing pouted, somewhat dissatisfied.

"You're in the top three." Vita held up three fingers.

"Deal." Xing nodded readily.

As for the first one, that would naturally be Vita herself.

Hehehe, so I, Vita, can finally get to eat some food one day?!

Seeing the expectant smile on Vita's face, the others naturally knew what Vita was thinking. However, no one stepped in to stop her.

Firstly, because Vita contributed both manpower and effort to this plan, as well as Propagation wing powder. If the plan fails, Vita will be the first to take the blame, so she naturally deserves special treatment.

Secondly, it's also because Vita's situation is just too tragic.

Even Fu Xuan, who has a "cleanliness obsession," did not try to interfere after seeing through Vita's intentions at a glance.

Vita's plan was a success, and Chen Li was a man of his word.

After Chen Li returned from placing the Duality Paradise in the Lost Soul Domain, Xing made her first wish to Chen Li: to borrow the Two-star Artifact [Gourmet Cells] from Chen Li's possession.

Faced with Xing's request, Chen Li hesitated for only a moment before handing over the Miraculous Item to Xing.

"Don't worry, I know the taboos of using this Miraculous Item, I definitely won't do anything reckless." Xing noticed Chen Li's hesitation, patted his chest, and assured him confidently.

Faced with Xing's assurance, Chen Li hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but couldn't.

Chen Li wasn't actually worried about Xing causing any trouble, because he could handle anything himself. However, Chen Li was genuinely worried that Xing would use this Miraculous Item to try eating garbage bags.

Especially the Miraculous Item Chen Li gave her, called the Golden Trash Bag.

But Chen Li couldn't remind him, because if he didn't say anything, the other party might not realize it; and if he did say something, what if Xing awakened some incredible fetish?

Meanwhile, the Firefly on the other side also expressed its wish.

Firefly's wish was simple: she hoped to see Paradise truly descend upon this world, bringing salvation to those who were suffering yet still held onto hope.

Seeing Chen Li lost in thought as he contemplated his wish regarding the Fireflies, Yao Guang stepped forward and walked to their side.

"Now that the Paradise has been cleaned up, why not open it to the public sooner? If you want to test the Paradise's effects, I know of a bad place. And with Chen Li watching over it, any unexpected events can be corrected in time," Yao Guang suggested with a smile.

"An accident? Absolutely not! My Paradise Miraculous Item are invincible!" Chen Li waved his hand and said firmly.

"Alright, alright, let's just consider it a chance to witness the power of this Miraculous Item. Let's first take a look at the grand opening of the Paradise; opening the server early is an opportunity not to be missed." Yao Guang smiled indulgently, then took Chen Li's hand with one hand and Firefly's hand with the other.

As for whether anyone kept shouting the Paradise's name before Paradise officially opened, hoping to grab a Paradise early... Yao Guang believes that did.

Whether they are kind-hearted people suffering unbearable pain, or social parasites and oppressors driven by curiosity, they may all become targets of the experimental Paradise's great power.

Moreover, when Chen Li said he would use Paradise to shatter the darkness, there might have been some ruthless individuals who tried to risk everything.

Although Yao Guang believed that Chen Li might consider these circumstances and spend Karma Coins to reduce the losses, it was always better to spend less.

Moreover, opening the server early would allow Chen Li to witness firsthand the Miraculous Item created by the Miracle he crafted in this world, which would be the best reward for a Miraculous Forger.

After all... if nothing unexpected happens, Chen Li will probably only have a few hours of free time left in the next few days.

Chen Li nodded and did not resist Yao Guang pulling him away.

As Yao Guang was about to leave the carriage with Chen Li, he turned to the crowd and gave them a meaningful look... "Now it's up to you."

After leaving the Astral Express, Yao Guang, Chen Li, Firefly, and the others looked up at the sky and could see the phantom of the Paradise in the sky.

This is not a lingering image left because Duality Paradise just left the Paradise and is very close by. Rather, from the moment the Paradise was built, people have seen its presence in any place where the Paradise 'Paradise legend has been told.

This symbol can be seen not only in worlds connected to this one, but also in worlds that have never witnessed the creation of this Miraculous Item.

The moment it became Three-star Artifact, it was elevated to a phenomenon, enough to illuminate the heavens.

This is a little tip that wasn't mentioned in the Three-star Artifact effects.

The moment Chen Li the Paradise of Release, the phantom in the sky crashed down almost simultaneously, nearly solidifying as it fell, and crushed heavily onto the Duality Paradise.

Clearly, within the Duality Paradise, there are quite a few enthusiasts planning to preemptively secure a spot when the server opens.

There were also many well-intentioned people who began calling out the name of the Paradise the moment Chen Li announced its completion, hoping for their own Miracle to happen.

However, the weight of the falling Paradise did not cause any damage to Duality Paradise, nor did it cause any tremors.

This is the harmlessness of the Paradise.

Amidst the cheers of excitement, countless screams of agony echoed throughout the Paradise.

One of the Paradise's accessories, [Wish Granting], has been slightly adjusted so that when Paradise is summoned, all holders of Black Redemption Ticket within a certain radius centered on the summoner will suffer a crushing attack from Paradise.

However, what Chen Li didn't mention, and what wasn't written in the effects description, was that this "certain range" was as large as a galaxy.

One person's cry can bring global calamity.

Deceiving and ambushing are also forms of punishment for the guilty in Paradise.

At the same time, countless worlds are reenacting scenes like the Duality Paradise.

The ability to transform into countless forms is one of the less noticeable features Miraculous Item Samsung's Paradise that's not worth mentioning in its effects description.

From Chen Li's side, they could see countless people being guided into the Paradise. Whenever someone entered the Paradise the elevator, a HOMU would step forward to act as their guide, leading them through the Paradise.

The rest is none of Chen Li's concern; HOMU will handle everything.

"It really is thriving." Chen Li remarked, looking at the joyful smiles on everyone's faces.

The good are saved, the evil are punished.

Above the Paradise, there was a lively and bustling atmosphere; Paradise, there was only wailing and lamentation.

As for the wails of those suffering soul-tearing pain under the heavy pressure of the Paradise, to Chen Li they were nothing more than the background music that played when the Paradise descended.

Looking at the righteous indignation on Chen Li's face, Yao Guang nodded with great satisfaction.

Hmm, she hates evil and is a good candidate to General's wife Xianzhou.

Fu Xuan is indeed General's wife general of the Luofu Xianzhou, while Chen Li concurrently holds the position of general of the Luofu Xianzhou. However, this does not prevent Chen Li from also serving as the General's wife general of the Jade Palace Xianzhou.

"Honestly, it's my birthday, why did you have to waste two wishes just to prepare a surprise for me?" Chen Li said helplessly, his eyes covered.

Although Chen Li said that, the smile on his face never disappeared.

Chapter 2673

Ever since Chen Li, Yao Guang, Firefly, and the others witnessed the suffering beneath Paradise, and their actions were inadvertently exposed, his smile has never faded.

As for how it was exposed?

Because Aqua specifically messaged Chen Li privately to ask what kind of birthday gift he would like.

This shows that although Aqua is a bit silly, she's actually a pretty good person.

After being exposed, Yao Guang had no choice but to drag Chen Li by the hand and force him to travel through all the different worlds.

The world of Game Life, Earth of Honkai Impact 3rd, Gensokyo, Teyvat Aqua, the other world where Aqua lives, the Type-Moon World, the world of Akame ga Kill!!... one after another, Yao Guang led Chen Li to visit almost every world connected by Boundary Stone.

The main tactic is to openly use one's cards to buy time.

However, when Chen Li first set foot in Gensokyo to inspect the results of the Elysian Realm transformation, seeing Yakumo Yukari's slightly subtle expression, he felt that this birthday party might not be so simple.

Especially when Yao Guang lowered his hand, Chen Li saw the slightly burnt cake in front of him.

Chen Li glanced around his home in the Main World, looking at the festively decorated living room. He approved of the level of decoration, but... the cake was a bit of an eyesore.

What puzzled Chen Li was that, despite Aqua knowing about the birthday party, very few people appeared in the living room. Only Fu Xuan, Ruan Mei, Firefly, and Xing stood behind the Great Herta carrying the cake.

This is also one of the points of contention.

"Does baking a cake really need to be such a hassle for you?" Chen Li asked, one hand on his hip, looking somewhat helplessly at the Great Herta that brought the cake to him.

"What, you look down on my cake? I made it myself. It may look a little strange, but it tastes great. If you're not going to eat it, I'll throw it away." The Great Herta pouted somewhat displeased, and then pretended to actually throw the cake aside.

Vita, seeing that the Great Herta was serious, felt her heart leap into her throat.

Seriously, sis, you've already eaten, but I haven't! Don't waste this opportunity so easily, you jerk!

A well-fed girl doesn't know the hunger of a starving girl!

"I didn't say it was bad... it just looks a bit... unique." Chen Li grabbed the Great Herta's wrist and took the cake, speaking with a hint of helplessness.

As Chen Li spoke, he looked at the cake and began to think about how to praise it.

After all, the cake was specially baked by the Great Herta, and no one else had the privilege of enjoying it. Although Chen Li wasn't particularly keen on enjoying this privilege either.

But when Chen Li's gaze fell on the cake, the smile on his face suddenly froze.

Well, although Chen Li doesn't have any special talents like the ability to recognize scents or the "Divine Tongue, "Chen Li eyes are not blind.

At least as a Miraculous Forger, Chen Li was able to see the descriptions on an item after touching it.

Just like the [Propagation] entry on this cake.

You guys finished making this cake! What kind of cake has a Propagation feature on it?!

When Vita saw the smile gradually disappear from Chen Li's face, her heart skipped a beat, knowing that Chen Li seemed to have discovered something.

However, now that the die is cast, there's no turning back.
