Chapter 179
What if Yakumo Yukari throws the Resurrection Badge at herself, claiming that the Resurrection Cross Charm is bound to her and demands 500 Starstones in compensation?
Chen Li still has 100,000 lives left to live.
[Resurrection], [Holy], [Immunity], [Echo], [Rules]
"This item is quite nice. I can offer 100 Starstones," said Chengli, who was playing with the Resurrection Cross Charm.
What Chen Li values most are actually the [Rules] and [Echoes] entries.
[Resurrection]?
Resurrection Cards aren't common yet, but they will be soon.
For a group of Miraculous Item, one Revival Artifacts is enough.
"Alright, don't be so disappointed. Actually, you're very lucky. The inscriptions on this Resurrection Cross Charm are very bright," Chen Li comforted Yakumo Yukari.
You don't need to comfort me.
"Well... how should I put it? Although you can get good items from the Starsea Trove, it's actually an auxiliary function designed for Miraculous Forging. In other words, the value of the item isn't important; the brightness of the attribute is what matters. You're really lucky."
Yakumo Yukari Chen Li not to comfort her, but Chen Li couldn't really not comfort her.
When a woman says no, she means yes.
"... Stop talking, I'll sell it for 100 Starstones." Yakumo Yukari said bluntly.
Although this Resurrection Cross Charm can also be used to fool country folk, such as Dragon Gods, Dragon God might be willing to pay a higher price.
But the Dragon God's things are useless to Yakumo Yukari, so it's better to switch to Starstones and try again.
Of course, if Chen Li offers too low a price, Yakumo Yukari can keep it as a souvenir.
"Ten consecutive draws are a sign of wisdom!" After the transaction was completed, Yakumo Yukari held one hundred Starstones and crushed them all. This time, Yakumo Yukari smarter; she couldn't put all her eggs in one basket, so she chose to do ten consecutive draws.
However, when Yakumo Yukari looked at the 10 messy items in front of her, she fell into deep thought again.
"Should we accept it?" Yakumo Yukari turned to look at Chen Li again.
"I'll take it. Starstones, and I'll take everything." Chen Li said.
"Hmm, 300? What's so expensive?" Yakumo Yukari, puzzled.
"These nine items are only worth 50 Starstones in total, but this one alone is worth 50 Starstones. The remaining 200 Starstones are hush money," Chen Li said, picking up a bean and pointing it at Yakumo Yukari.
Chen Li can eat anything, so as long as it's not too strange, Chen Li can use it as a snack.
Therefore, Chen Li basically accepts everything.
"This is... Senzu Bean? A gadget that can keep you from being hungry for 10 days just by eating one, and instantly restore your strength and energy when you are extremely tired, as long as you are not dead? But there is only one."
"Never mind that. From now on, just pretend you didn't draw this Senzu Bean, and that you've never even seen it. So, here's 200 Starstones as hush money. How about it?"
"Let's do it!" Yakumo Yukari agreed without hesitation.
Yakumo Yukari knew that Chen Li was paying her hush money because he was profiting from it, but Yakumo Yukari also knew that people can't earn money beyond their own understanding.
"Baidu says that the yield and cultivation time of the Senzu Beans are extremely high, and only a few can grow in a year. I don't believe it." Chen Li tossed the beans in his hand and chose to call upon the turtle in his wishing well.
[Chen Li]: Spring day, before you come to the Xianzhou, help me plant something.
Haruhi Suzumiya: Why are you looking for me?
[Chen Li]: 20 Starstones.
[Haruhi Suzumiya]: Tell me, what should we plant?
[Chen Li]: This thing is called Senzu Bean. Plant it.
[The Haruhi Suzumiya]: Never heard of it.
[Chen Li]: It's very simple. Dig a hole, bury some soil, count 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and hundreds of Senzu Beans will instantly grow. When you come to the Xianzhou, remember to bring me the Senzu Beans.
[Haruhi Suzumiya]: No problem.
"Let's think of a reason to give Haruhi Suzumiya some more Starstones later."
Chen Li wasn't stingy; Chen Li was just afraid that giving too much would arouse Haruhi Suzumiya's suspicion.
"Everyone says that cultivating Senzu Beans is difficult, but I think it's not that difficult." Looking at the large jar of Senzu Beans in his hand, Chen Li smiled with satisfaction.
In the Miraculous Item Group, Revival Artifacts are not uncommon, because Chen Li distributed them to the group members as free benefits.
After all, only if his friends are "alive" can they provide Chen Li with "Friendship and Bonds".
However, Chen Li did not create Miraculous Item that could provide instant healing, nor did he intend to.
"Did you raise this child? You're so proud."
"Don't worry about that."
[So you've really started to see Haruhi Suzumiya as some kind of turtle in a wishing well, haven't you?]
"Although there are other ways to complete the cultivation, isn't it more convenient to ask Haruhi? It's not like I didn't pay."
"How is it? I did a good job growing it, didn't I?" Haruhi Suzumiya stood proudly in front of Chen Li.
"Although this job is simple, it is only in simple work that one can see the big picture from small details. As expected of the strongest team leader I have high hopes for, you are both meticulous and patient, and possess both wisdom and beauty." Chen Li did not hold back his praise.
"Of course..."
"Oh, right, this is Xun Di, the currency of the Xianzhou. Have fun on the Xianzhou." Chen Li handed a large bag of Xun Di, which he had just extorted from Dan Shu, to Haruhi Suzumiya.
Thanks.
"No need to be polite, we're practically family. Oh, by the way, could you do me a favor and help [Chen Li] get a leave of absence from the Tai Bu Division? Here's your reward." Chen Li took out another 50 Starstones.
Since the turtle in the wishing well helped me fulfill my wish, I should repay it in some way.
No, it should be called fulfilling a vow.
"But aren't you Chen Li? Why do you call yourself Chen Li?"
"Double agent, those who know, know; if you don't, just ask Qingque. Goodbye."
"Oh... goodbye." Although she didn't understand anything, Haruhi Suzumiya still took her reward and set off with her underlings.
Watching Haruhi Suzumiya's retreating figure, Chen Li rolled the Joy Dice.
To prevent Haruhi Suzumiya from causing trouble on the Xianzhou, Chen Li felt it was necessary to roll a die.
[1]
"..."
To be honest, Chen Li was already used to this number of points. He readily spent all of his Joy Points, bringing the total to [11].
"Oh well, I'll just consider it as a chance to farm for the Joy Dice."
"Forget it, I'll just consider it as a way to farm attempts for the Joy Dice. Plus, it helps me complete certain stats."
Extraction the term "Great Failure"...
Moreover, if you want to enhance Miraculous Item, you should use it more often and use it to create Miracles.
After seeing Haruhi Suzumiya off, Chen Li returned to the world of Akame ga Kill!!
Unlike the scenery Chen Li had seen in the past, the Imperial Capital was now brightly decorated.
During the 10 days that Chen Li used Civilization Acceleration, Najenda smoothly transitioned the Empire's power using Forced Transaction Coins.
With Esdeath defeated, the outcome is already decided.
Witnessed by the people of the Imperial Capital, the Revolutionary Army, and the followers of Orderly Dao, as the Young Emperor ascended the Supreme Imperial Armament, which had been reassembled by Vill-V, and removed the scepter, crown, and ring that symbolized power, it also signified that the empire would be reborn.
Najenda even spent 50 Starstones to invite Robin, who had just finished a concert, to use the Microphone Artifact adjust its influence range to the entire Empire before performing.
This is not a meaningless vanity project, because the Microphone Artifact, combined with the song of the Robin, possesses magical power.
Different songs can bring different kinds of power to the people of the newly established empire—awakening their confidence in their country, enabling them to better build their nation, and making them believe that the empire has truly ushered in a new beginning.
And the song Najenda chose was... well...
"Damn it! 'Good Luck Is Coming' is still watching me. What kind of taste does Najenda have?" Chen Li complained, covering his ears.
"I think this song is pretty good." Outsiders couldn't understand Chen Li's feelings about the song.
"It's suitable, it sounds good, but it's really ridiculous." Chen Li couldn't help but feel a little overwhelmed listening to the Robin singing "Good Luck Is Coming".
Robin singing "Good Luck Is Coming"? Why would I have such a strange dream?
The Robin.
Whether it's challenging themselves to sing songs they've never sung before or performing a second show right after finishing a concert, it's all the same.
So Chen Li specially gave the Robin two Senzu Beans to help her recover her strength.
Accompanied by the Robin, the Miracle Card that Chen Li had longed for appeared before Chen Li like the bright sun.
[To Survival or Destruction] (Miracle Card): A group of madmen capable of destroying the world happened to bring about the rebirth of an empire. Isn't that a Miracle in itself?
Effect 1: You can switch between the "Night Parade of a Hundred Demons" and "Prosperous and Peaceful Era" states at any time. The former makes you more attractive to "abnormal" entities, while the latter makes it easier for "positive" companions to gather around you.
Effect 2: Can be used to forge Miraculous Items.
"No, buddy, what do you mean? What do you mean by 'coincidence'? Haven't I been working towards this goal all along? And I won't allow you to insult my teammate like this!"
Chen Li had reason to suspect that the Miracle Card was hinting at his "Friendship and Bonds," but Chen Li had no evidence.
How come Vill-V, Mobius, Nguyen May, and Yakumo Yukari are acting like world-destroying monsters? All they did was dismantle Supreme Imperial Armament, adjust Dangerous Species' life model, and capture a Super Special Grade Dangerous Species...
Okay, the "world-destroying maniac" persona is well-deserved!
The effect of this Miracle Card was quite different from what Chen Li had originally expected. Now it seems that saving an empire with the help of the Outer Realm Demons is more worthy of being recorded than saving an empire.
Empires exist everywhere, but Outer Realm Demons are few and far between!
"Having you all is my blessing," Chen Li suddenly turned to Vill-V beside him and said.
"Huh? Oh? Uh... Thank you for the compliment?" Vill-V was a little flustered.
Why did you suddenly say that?
You're too kind.
To be or not to Destruction, that is the question.
Chen Li slid the Miracle Card in his hand.
This Miracle Card has two different designs: one featuring endless ghosts, and the other featuring the rising sun.
Ultimately, the Miracle Card was chosen for the [Night Parade of a Hundred Demons] card design.
Chen Li felt that this state suited her better.
Because I can lure out "anomalies" and "Destruction" to kill.
Chen Li was very familiar with entrapment tactics.
The only difference this time was that instead of using bait thrown out by Chen Li himself was used to bait the nest; it wasn't much different.
Chen Li had long ago said that Miracle Cards have synergistic effects.
For example, "Survival and Destruction," "One Arrow Once Slaughtered a Million Demons," and "The Cleanup Master."
[You treat the anomaly like a brother, but you treat the anomaly as an achievement?]
[That's despicable, Chen Li!]
"Shush, why do you think I'm called a madman? It's all because of that World Destroyer title!" Chen Li said resentfully.
To be called a world-destroying demon, he actually has the title of World Destroyer, but Chen Li, who has never been activated, deserves this title even more.
[Uh, I suddenly remembered that the bug in Friends Circle hasn't been fixed yet. Goodbye!]
The empire has been reborn in song, the people's enthusiasm and hope have been successfully awakened, and now it is clearly time to divide the spoils.
"One for me, one for you, one for me, one for you." Chen Li had just arrived at the Minister's Mansion when he saw Houraisan Kaguya distributing rewards to everyone.
Yakumo Yukari gave all the wealth she obtained from corrupt officials to Najenda to rebuild the new empire, but there was still a lot of wealth in the minister's treasury.
At Najenda's suggestion, the minister's wealth was divided into three parts: 30% went to Chen Li and the remaining 70% went to the group members.
However, since the group members weren't particularly interested in the wealth, at Najenda's suggestion, they decided to use it to buy items locally.
For example, hunting or capturing Dangerous Species, collecting rare and unusual materials, etc.
