Miraculous Forger Starting from Honkai

"Starting with 'Are you there?' You're definitely a simp." Tonghua sat beside him and mocked him.

"Watch if you want. If not, I'm turning off public mode." Chen Li, who was holding the Miraculous Forging Guide and chatting with the other party, shot Tonghua a glare.

Far beyond countless realms of time and space, Kikyo faced the screen that had suddenly appeared before her and the information about the Forging Commission flooding into her mind. It took her quite a while to recover.

Only after Chen Li interacted with another commission issuer would the other party learn that they had posted a commission.

This function existed to prevent Chen Li from being harassed.

"A Miraculous Forger who travels through countless worlds?" Kikyo was rather surprised.

Yet Kikyo had no doubts about this information.

It took a Miracle Crystal to refresh a commission. Naturally, its energy would not be entirely spent on searching; it also ensured that the other party firmly believed the truth.

Thus, there would be no situation where explaining his identity and convincing the other party would waste a great deal of time.

However, since everyone's circumstances differed, so did their communication with the Miraculous Forger. To avoid affecting the Miraculous Forger's use of "the art of conversation," the information given to the other party was incomplete.

"Materials I desire... It would be better to discuss it in person." After hesitating for a moment, Kikyo rose from the pool, dried herself, put on her clothes, and used the video call function on the virtual screen that she had learned about from the information.

It was better to talk first.

Talking was free, anyway.

Even a Shrine Maiden could be curious.

And perhaps...

"Hello." Seeing the holographic projection appear before him, Chen Li warmly greeted her.

"Ah, hello." Feeling as if her senses had extended in some unusual manner, Kikyo curiously examined all the novel things before her.

"You don't have any materials in mind? Then, what requirements do you have for the longbow you want forged?" Chen Li asked.

"Requirements... It only needs to be sturdier. I have no other requirements."

"What about the bow's style? A classic Japanese longbow, or would any kind of bow do?" Chen Li continued.

This point was very important.

If any bow would do, Chen Li would forge a longbow similar to Elysia's, then learn some long-range attack methods from Elysia.

If it had to be a Japanese longbow, Chen Li could only make do with it.

"Either is fine. But before that, may I ask about the forging fee?" Kikyo asked carefully.

Her first encounter with a Miraculous Forger who traveled through countless worlds, along with this utterly unfamiliar environment, made Kikyo feel like a child entering a general store for the first time. Before considering suitable goods, she was more worried about whether she could afford them.

This was a good thing. It proved that the other party would be a good trading partner, and she would not need to worry about them breaking the agreement.

"The forging fee... I have a good idea. Would Miss Kikyo like to hear it?" Chen Li asked.

"What good idea?"

"How about... I forge you a longbow using the Shard of the Four Souls?" Chen Li finally revealed his true intentions.

"Huh? How do you know I have the Shard of the Four Souls?" Kikyo watched Chen Li warily.

As the Shrine Maiden responsible for guarding the Shard of the Four Souls, Kikyo was extremely vigilant about anything related to it.

The Shard of the Four Souls was a powerful spiritual jewel formed when the highly skilled Shrine Maiden Midori fused her own soul with the souls of countless demons during her battle against them. It contained immense Spirit Energy.

It was said that this jewel could grant demons tremendous power and could also destroy evil.

It could be said that it was an unparalleled treasure that everyone desired.

"Because the Forging Commission said you wanted to forge a longbow in order to guard and purify the Shard of the Four Souls. I also learned some basic information about it. So I thought, since it's something that needs purification, why not simply forge it into another form?" Chen Li said.

Chen Li was skillfully applying the art of language.

What Chen Li truly needed was merely the leftover attributes after forging the Miraculous Item.

PS: I only remembered after waking up at noon yesterday that, because of procrastination, I hadn't done any of March 7th's photo event at all. I lost out on so much Stellar Jade. 2

I recommend a friend's book: "Arknights, but Everyone Is on Their Second Playthrough."

The majestic little fox boy, Daotang, is currently serializing it~~ I always feel like that sentence is a little convoluted, but it's fine. I can write it down and use it as blackmail material in the future!

Also, while I'm here... I'm begging you esteemed readers for bookmarks, recommendation votes, and monthly tickets! Hungry, crying, need food~~

Kikyo Lets the Wolf Into Her Home

"Let's put the weapon aside for now. I want to ask you—can you destroy the Shard of the Four Souls?" After pondering for a long time, Kikyo raised her head and asked an unexpected question.

"I can, but why destroy it?"

"Because the Shard of the Four Souls will bring disaster, and I do not have confidence that I can guard it forever. Destruction can also count as purification," Kikyo said.

"If you need it, I can forge your longbow into a weapon that only kind people can use. That would solve your problem of needing to guard the Shard of the Four Souls, and in a sense, resolve the Shard of the Four Souls itself. It would also ensure that this bow could not be misused by others. How does that sound?" Chen Li offered another suggestion.

Chen Li had roughly guessed the point in time where she was. She likely had not yet met Inuyasha and had not decided what to do with the Shard of the Four Souls.

Chen Li did not bring up asking her to give him the Shard of the Four Souls, because he felt she would never agree.

As a kind Shrine Maiden, Kikyo would not allow Chen Li to use the Shard of the Four Souls for evil in another world.

That was why she had proposed destroying it.

"This... is acceptable. But I have one condition. You must come to my world to forge it," Kikyo said after considering it for a moment.

If it could only be used by kind people, that would count as the Shard of the Four Souls' best possible destination.

After all, there were indeed many Demons and Ghouls in the Warring States Period where Kikyo lived.

And she made this request as an additional precaution.

"Sure." Chen Li nodded.

Or rather, Chen Li had originally been thinking of how to persuade Kikyo to allow him to visit her world.

Chen Li had no intention of bringing danger to Kikyo's world. He simply wanted to complete another Miracle Check-in.

And how was destroying the Shard of the Four Souls not a miracle?

"Wait a moment. Tonghua, do you have any automatic tracking items?" Chen Li turned and asked.

"You're quite kind. You want to give it an auto-tracking arrow trait?" Tonghua said after glancing at Kikyo.

In fact, Tonghua had deliberately said that for Kikyo to hear.

"Do you have one or not?"

"I do... Here, the Magic Tracking Compass." Tonghua took out a rather old compass and handed it to Chen Li.

"This is unexpectedly pretty good." At first, Chen Li had worried whether the brightness of the attributes would be affected by a compass made through magic. But he found the brightness to be just right. It seemed this compass had also weathered many hardships.

"Then do you have a guaranteed-hit attribute?"

"No!" Tonghua answered with remarkable speed.

She definitely had one!

She just could not bear to give it up.

"What about ejection?" Chen Li did not press her further. After all, he felt rather embarrassed about taking too many Free Rides.

"Will this work?" Tonghua pulled a huge ejector chair out from somewhere.

"What is this?"

"The Chair of Revelry. I stole it from some local evil god," Tonghua said.

Fuck!

Ejection, bloodshed, slaughter, sin, survival...

Seeing these attributes, Chen Li could roughly imagine what had once happened.

Although the ejection attribute was the dimmest among them, indicating it was the least important trait, it could still be used.

Don't worry about what it ejected. Just tell me—did it eject or not?

"Alright, hurry up and go. Don't keep Kikyo waiting." Seeing that Chen Li still wanted to speak, Tonghua urged him.

"Fine, I won't dig through your collection anymore. Bye." Seeing through Tonghua's thoughts, Chen Li could only give up on trying to get more things from her.

"Don't worry. We've already signed a contract, so I won't cause trouble in this world," Chen Li told the highly alert Kikyo.

Chen Li's journey to this world had gone smoothly, though spending 10 Starstones had truly pained him.

Kikyo still held some wariness toward Chen Li, but he felt that was perfectly normal.

Chen Li looked up at the sky. It was already four in the afternoon in his own world, yet it was still morning here. He had plenty of time to forge a Miraculous Item.

This was also a good opportunity to sort out the time difference between the Honkai world and his Main World.

Chen Li's school ended at three in the afternoon. After all, different professions required different methods of practical training, so students naturally needed sufficient free time.

"Come to think of it, did we forget to discuss the forging fee?" Seeing that Chen Li did not give her any sense of danger and even seemed rather weak, Kikyo relaxed somewhat.

What Kikyo said was also another form of probing.

"Oh, that... Do you need this bow urgently?" Chen Li asked.

"No." Kikyo shook her head.

Or rather, if Chen Li truly forged the Shard of the Four Souls into a longbow that only kind people could use, Kikyo would seemingly no longer need the bow.

Demons often attacked this village because the Shard of the Four Souls was here. Once it was gone, the demons would naturally have no target.

Although Kikyo often accepted commissions from other places to exterminate demons, her Azusa Mountain Spirit Bow was already enough.

It was merely the burden of guarding the Shard of the Four Souls that had made Kikyo unconsciously wonder what she would do if she possessed greater power, thus triggering the Miracle Commission.

"Other than the leftover materials after forging belonging to me, may I use the Miraculous Item I forge for you for a while first?" Chen Li asked.

"No problem." Although she was somewhat puzzled as to why a Miraculous Forger would use a client's weapon, Kikyo still nodded.

"Although I'm a Miraculous Forger, I'm still a beginner. I hope to use this bow for self-defense." Seeing Kikyo's confusion, Chen Li explained.

"Mm." Chen Li's candor put Kikyo more at ease.

It was good that the other party was not strong. Otherwise, even with a contract, Kikyo would not have been completely reassured.

"Then when will the forging begin?" Kikyo asked.

"It can begin now. But before that, could you bring over a few demons?"

"Why?"

"To be honest, only by letting those demons see me destroy the Shard of the Four Souls with their own eyes will they stop harassing you in the future. Otherwise, they'll only suspect that you hid it somewhere deeper. So after they see me forge the longbow, remember to let them go," Chen Li said.

Chen Li was someone who was very considerate of his customers.

"...You've thought of more than I did. Thank you." Kikyo nodded gently.

"Then go make preparations first. It would be best if you captured a few stronger demons. Or you don't have to capture them—you can just spread word that you're about to destroy the Shard of the Four Souls, and they'll come on their own," Chen Li said.

"But if you do that, you'll be in danger while forging the Shard of the Four Souls," Kikyo said worriedly.

Because Kikyo could tell that Chen Li was not very strong.

"Don't worry. I'll have a barrier when I forge Miraculous Items."

"But if I leave now to find demons, then your safety..."

"Don't worry. I can summon the barrier even when I'm not forging Miraculous Items. Go on. I hope we can settle this before today ends," Chen Li said.

"Mm." Though still somewhat worried, Kikyo carried her longbow toward a place where demons gathered, a place she knew well.

Chen Li had no idea what Kikyo was thinking. He merely took out a Starstone and tossed it at his feet.

"Come forth! Blue-Eyes White Dragon!"

A strange hexagram unfolded before Chen Li, and countless dazzling dark-violet lights gathered into a figure.

When the cocoon of light broke apart, a beautiful pink-haired girl was already standing before Chen Li.
