Chen Li's New Miracle Card and Candlelit Dinner with the Voracity Aeon (10k)

Perhaps because he had received a gift from the minister, Screwllum, who hadn't done anything all along, felt a little embarrassed, so he helped introduce some of the screw-tightening business that was still possible in feudal society to the newly established empire.

This proves that Najenda made the right decision in sending gold; Screwllum's channel is far more valuable than any gold.

There's no need to worry about the installation of the production line. In the current universe, if a production line cannot be assembled very easily, it simply cannot capture the universe's market.

There's no need to worry about energy; solar energy is a very clean energy source.

There's no need to worry about environmental pollution either, as the supply chains that Screwllum can access aren't so low-level that they require sacrificing the environment as part of the cost.

There's still no need to worry about talent training. The people of the Empire don't need to know what these things are for; they just need to know which screw to turn in which direction.

In general, these are high-quality production lines that can only be obtained through connections under normal circumstances.

High pay, low workload, and easy job.

And the products produced on the production line are easy to sell.

As long as these products do not have quality problems, or even if they do, it is only the output of an empire, there will definitely be many people willing to share the burden for Screwllum.

These products will definitely sell well if Screwllum is willing to do so.

However, Najenda rejected the proposal and planned to pursue a strategy of low profit margins and high sales volume.

It's not that Najenda doesn't want more benefits, but she owes Screwllum too many favors, and if she can't repay them in the future, it will easily cause trouble.

"Najenda's idea is not wrong; owing favors is the most troublesome thing. But because she wants to take the path of low profit and high volume, she has reduced the treatment of factory workers too much."

How serious is it?

"According to the decree issued by Najenda, those workers have to work a full eight hours a day, are only provided with three meals and snacks, milk is only available in the morning, there is only one hour of lunch break, wages can only be raised once every four months, overtime can only be paid at triple the rate, they must exercise for one hour after work, and there is only one day of psychological counseling per week."

"Don't you think this is too cruel?" Little Herta turned to look at Chen Li.

"... Don't make a sound, I'm thinking."

Chen Li was seriously considering it.

Chen Li didn't know whether the Little Herta was a mismatched string or not a mismatched string.

Because when Chen Li was wandering around the Herta Space Station, he never seemed to hear any researchers or staff complaining about their salaries and benefits.

"What's there to think about?" Little Herta muttered.

"Then let me ask you... What If this is considered poor treatment, then you Herta dolls need to be on standby every day, which is equivalent to working overtime 24 hours a day, right? And the other side can eat three meals a day, snacks, and milk, but you Herta dolls can't eat any of that because you don't have a feeding module. The Great Herta doesn't even pay you a salary... which do you think is more cruel?" Chen Li retorted.

"..." Little Herta fell into thought.

"..." Chen Li saw the Little Herta fall into thought, and thus fell into thought as well.

"Understood!" Little Herta perked up!

"What do you understand?"

"The treatment we receive from the Great Herta is terrible! I'm going to protest to the Great Herta right now! We want snacks! We want our wages! We want lunch breaks! For the sake of the Herta!"

"Bang!" Little Herta was halfway through his protest when he was hit on the head with a stick.

"Chen Li, what are you doing!" The Great Herta stood with his hands on his hips, looking at Chen Li coldly.

The Great Herta felt that as long as it wasn't nearby, Chen Li was corrupting its Herta dolls.

This time, I just caught myself.

If it's Chen Li, then as long as we see him corrupting Little Herta, it means he's been corrupting Little Herta all along!

Just like if parents see their children playing games, they will also feel that the children have been playing games all along, rather than playing games only after finishing their homework.

"I was just teaching Little Herta what freedom is."

"That's right, he was just teaching me what the spirit of freedom is! So we want snacks! We want wages, we want lunch breaks! For the sake of [Herta]!" Little Herta declared emphatically.

"..." Great Herta, rubbing his forehead.

No, sis.

Of all my Herta dolls, besides you, who can eat? Who can consume? Who can sleep?

Although this machine spirit can grant the doll freedom, isn't this too much freedom?

"Chen Li. It seems the Great Herta doesn't intend to agree to my protest. What should I do?" The Little Herta turned to look at Chen Li.

"You won't even call me Godfather."

"Godfather!"

"If the Great Herta disagrees, then of course..."

"Ahem." The Great Herta coughed twice.

"Of course we won't protest. What else can we do?" Chen Li shrugged.

"What? Godfather, how could you defect to the enemy so quickly?"

"Little Herta, do you know what the meaning of gardenia flowers is?"

"What?"

"Tolerance".

"Isn't that a bit much? The meaning of gardenias isn't joy, strength, eternal love and promise, lifelong devotion and perseverance, or something like that?" Great Herta interjected.

"What do you know, you alien?"

"... This is my universe, you're the alien." The Great Herta rolled its eyes at Chen Li.

"Never mind her. Let's just be patient for now. When you can suppress the Great Herta with one hand, we'll take back the power," Chen Li said, stroking the Little Herta's head.

"Emmm... okay. Let's compromise then. I want snacks, I want my salary, I want a lunch break!" Little Herta said to Great Herta.

"Okay, okay." The Great Herta nodded perfunctorily.

It doesn't matter if it's the Little Herta or the Herta Space Station, they're both [Herta] anyway.

"Alright, now that you're back, shall we call Ruan Mei and Screwllum to have a chat with the Aeon of Intellect?" Chen Li said to the Great Herta.

"Okay, I'll let them know. Screwllum should be discussing the production line with Najenda, and Nguyen May seems to be researching that Super Special Grade Dangerous Species with Mobius. The two of them seem to get along quite well." The Great Herta nodded.

"Nguyen Mai's mother's surname is Mai, Mobius's surname is also Mai, so it's normal that they get along well."

"... Are you sure Mobius's last name is Mebius?" The Great Herta tilted its head.

"That's not important. But speaking of Mobius, I really should get Mobius to do something." Chen Li took a few Senzu Bean from the large jar that Haruhi Suzumiya had given him, then sent them to Mobius via red envelope with a message.

[Using a scalpel, we attempted to cultivate Senzu Bean into seeds of life, reducing the difficulty of cultivation.]

The projections of Mobius, Vill-V, and Sakura expired yesterday and have returned to their original forms, leaving only Elysia's projection still hanging in the sky above the Xianzhou.

Mobius and Vill-V inherited the experience of projection smoothly. For example, Mobius was still able to observe the synthesis probability of life seeds and the instantaneous generation of life seeds.

Moreover, they didn't cause any major trouble on the Xianzhou, which relieved Chen Li.

As for Sakura, after training in the Cloud Knight Army for a period of time, she seems to have come up with something extraordinary.

She seems to have gained a rather magical ability by combining the Path of Preservation and the Path of the Hunt: after successfully blocking an enemy's attack at a perfect moment, she can increase her the Hunt Value. Once the Hunt Value is full, she can instantly make her knife appear at the enemy's heart and execute him.

To thank the Cloud Knight Army for sparring with her and helping her improve her abilities, Sakura simplified her skills and developed a technique called parry, which she then taught to the Cloud Knight Army.

This is a good thing, there's no problem.

However, since the current parrying technique only applies to the samurai sword, and the Cloud Knight Army does not have a stockpile of this weapon, the Gong Zao Division is now working overnight to expedite the production of this type of weapon.

Furthermore, since it was rumored that combining the Path of the Hunt and the Path of Preservation could be upgraded into a more advanced skill, the Cloud Knight Army was considering how to maximize their Preservation Power.

In short, Sakura, whom Chen Li considered the most honest "child," secretly did something big for Chen Li.

Mobius didn't turn Ambrosial Arbor into a seed of life, and Vill-V didn't make the Xianzhou stand up, but Sakura did almost exhaust the entire Gong Zao Division by herself, and even made some Cloud Knight Army want to believe in the Preservation Aeon (Mending Heaven God) as well.

It could be said that Sakura was in the Hunt camp, Preservation the Cunhu.

Although considering that both the Hunt and the Preservation are "Siming" (the Xianzhou's name for benevolent gods), the impact is not too bad.

But Chen Li his sight.

After receiving a positive reply from Mobius, Chen Li put down his phone.

Then Chen Li saw Baiheng chatting with Great Herta, and both of them seemed to have very serious expressions.

"What are you two talking about?" Chen Li asked as he walked over.

"We're discussing whether you need to pay back the money?"

"What do you mean by 'use' or 'don't use'... Why are you still discussing this issue?" Chen Li couldn't hold back anymore.

"If someone else asked me this question, I would just think they were being unreasonable, but the problem is that this method is indeed feasible for you. For example What If you forged a logical Miraculous Item or something," the Great Herta said.

"... You think too highly of me."

How could Chen Li possibly create a Miraculous Item for such a trivial reason?

"Got it!" Great Herta snapped his fingers.

"Do you have the answer?"

"No, let's go ask the Aeon of Intellect. Chen Li, how many more uses does your Miracle Card have?"

"Uh, more than 30 times," Chen Li said.

Because Chen Li died inside the Nanook's body for more than 30 days, he accumulated so many attempts.

"That's perfect, we can use it one more time."

"Don't ask the Aeon of Intellect such a trivial question!" Chen Li complained.

"Ruan Mei and Screwllum have arrived as well. Let's go ask them. Let's see what kind of answer the Aeon of Intellect can give to such a boring question," the Great Herta said with interest.

The thought of the Aeon of Intellect hearing this incredibly boring question and being speechless, yet still having to answer it, made the Great Herta want to laugh.

"What do you mean by discussing with the Aeon of Intellect how to buy the Xianzhou? Has this Array of Universal Observation broken?" Fu Xuan was greatly shocked by the results reflected by the Array of Universal Observation.

Theoretically, Array of Universal Observation should be correct, but because the answer he got was so outrageous, Fu Xuan fell into self-doubt.

"Qingque, go check if any of the three array bases of the Array of Universal Observation are faulty?" Fu Xuan turned to look at Qingque standing beside him.

Since the Array of Universal Observation cannot make a mistake, and I cannot make a problem, then the Array of Universal Observation must be broken!

"Huh? Inspect all three bases of the Array of Universal Observation? This... is too much work."

"Chen Li ran away, and you are also partly to blame," Fu Xuan said.

"Why?"

"When I first brought Chen Li to the Tai Bu Division, he was very well-behaved. But after only a few days, he dared to skip work openly and even challenge his superiors' authority... It must be you who corrupted him!"

In fact, this is why Fu Xuan, the Tai Bu Division, only had Qingque by his side when he used the Array of Universal Observation.

Fu Xuan felt that using the Array of Universal Observation for just one employee was already a waste of resources, and asking other Tai Bu Division employees for help would be too much of a waste of manpower and resources.

Does Qingque count as manpower and material resources?

Fu Xuan felt that it probably didn't count.

After all, if Qingque doesn't waste her energy here, she'll waste it elsewhere, so it's better to let her use her energy on things that are more worthwhile.

"..." by Qingque.

Does Chen Li need me to corrupt him? He's already "bad" enough! He's a ruthless person who can watch the Aeon of Joy have fun!

"Sure enough, none of the Starstones I got from Chen Li were free." Qingque muttered as she ran towards the three array bases of the Array of Universal Observation.

Chapter 215 New Miracle Card: Chen Li Enjoys a Candlelight Dinner with the Devouring Star God (10k)

The Great Herta took the Destiny Invitation Key hanging around its neck, inserted it into a door, and gently twisted it under the expectant gazes of the crowd.

"Click!" The key, on which so much hope was placed, was finally turned successfully, which also meant that the person the Great Herta wanted to invite had appeared in the Invitation Space.

But the Great Herta did not stop its actions. Instead, it took another projected Destiny Invitation Key from Chen Li and inserted it into another door.

The first door naturally invited the long-awaited Aeon of Intellect.

The second door invited the Silent Lord Polka Kakamu.

The Great Herta decided to launch a surprise attack on the Silent Lord this time, summoning her to the Invitation Space and then leaving her there for 30 minutes.
