Moreover, the two of them have never appeared together!

This is terrifying to think about!

Although Sparkle has not yet successfully challenged the Aeon of Joy, as long as Sparkle is willing to take the blame for the trouble Chen Li caused in the Honkai: Star Rail world, Chen Li is not incapable of creating the Miraculous Item for Sparkle first.

Well, the main reason is that Chen Li's current Crystal income relies entirely on Miracle Cards. He only has 60 Crystals left, and if he doesn't open a shop soon, he'll be starving.

Although the business from Sparkle is small, and the Sparkle themselves are small, there is still some profit. Even a small amount is still profit.

"Tomorrow I will give Sparkle the Destiny Invitation Key that I have already set up, and then let Sparkle challenge the person I want her to challenge, or rather, the Aeon. I hope that Aeon will give me some face and accept the invitation to participate in the Elation Elbow King Tournament!" Chen Li muttered loudly.

If you don't explain to the Aeon of Joy in advance, the Aeon of Joy may not necessarily affect your invitation to Sparkle.

However, after saying that, Chen Li suddenly had a new idea.

What If Chen Li were to hand the Joy Dice to Sparkle, who would win between Sparkle and the Aeon of Joy?

[Dad]: I've prepared all the materials for forging the Miraculous Items that can help you find fun. Are you ready to challenge the person I want to see some fun for tomorrow?

[Sparkle]: I'm ready!

[Dad]: Are you really ready?

[Sparkle]: Yes, Dad.

[Dad]: Then I can rest in peace.

[Sparkle]:?

[Father]: I'm going to forge Miraculous Item for you now. Do you have any requirements for the design of the mask?

[Sparkle]: I've already sent you the design drawings.

[Dad]: I've already seen it, but I have a suggestion, I'm not sure if I should say it.

[Sparkle]: What suggestions do you have?

[Dad]: Sparkle, you seem to be quite well-known among the Masked Fools, right? In that case, why don't you try to steal back the mask that your Travel Together stole from you? I can forge a Miraculous Item for you that is the same style as your mask, only the color will be slightly different. From now on, you are SP Sparkle until you personally retrieve the mask.

[Sparkle]: That seems like a good suggestion, but...

[Dad]: The entries on the Miraculous Item can be removed. After you get your mask back yourself, I will help you transfer the Miraculous Item's functions to the original mask. How about that?

[Sparkle]: Good suggestion. What I, Sparkle, have lost, I will take back myself!

[Dad]: Well then, I wish you success, SP Sparkle.

Why is the Sparkle called SP Sparkle? Because from tomorrow onwards, Chen Li will be the real Sparkle!

Ten minutes later, Sparkle looked at the mask in her hand and fell into deep thought.

"Why does this mask look so similar to the one I lost the second time?" Sparkle examined the Miraculous Item that Chen Li had created in just 10 minutes.

Sparkle wanted to blame Chen Li's perverse sense of humor for this, because Sparkle had shown Chen Li the mask she had acquired for the second time.

But this mask really gives off a strong resemblance to Sparkle.

Sparkle's original mask was a fox mask with a white side and a red side.

The second mask is red on the left and black on the right, and it is also a fox mask.

This is also why Sparkle chose the second mask among thousands of masks.

"Is it just my imagination?" Sparkle scratched her head.

Sparkle didn't know Chen Li's purpose in making her mask look like this, but Sparkle knew that she had met a worthy opponent. This old man must also be a comedian, and the person he wanted to have fun with was definitely not someone to be trifled with.

"I wonder what kind of opponent he'll have me face tomorrow. I'm really looking forward to it. I love challenging work." Sparkle tossed the mask in her hand, smiling as she muttered to herself.

Sparkle doesn't really believe in coincidences; she sees all coincidences as inevitable.

Just like the Envoy of Joy casually brought the Sparkle onto this Xianzhou once said that an Envoy of Joy had appeared on the Xianzhou, but for some reason, he quickly disappeared.

Today, that reaction that could disrupt the Path of Joy has completely disappeared.

The Envoy of Joy felt that there was something strange about the Xianzhou, so he left immediately after saying goodbye to the Sparkle.

Sparkle, however, felt that precisely because it was so eerie, something even more spectacular than the appearance of a pink sun in the sky was bound to happen at Luofu Xianzhou!

If Sparkle doesn't understand the Emanator, doesn't she understand the Masked Fool?

"Forget it, never mind. As Xianzhou old saying goes, 'The Masked Fool should enjoy himself while he can.' Let me try out this Miraculous Item object and have some fun!" Sparkle placed the mask on the left side of her hair.

[Thousand Acts of Trickery]: Can help the mask user find like-minded people or things; [Elation] is mutually attractive.

"... Why does it have such a cool name, yet the effect of the Miraculous Item is so perfunctory?" Vill-V looked at Chen Li in confusion.

Although Vill-V hadn't personally witnessed how many times Chen Li had forged Miraculous Item, Vill-V was certain that the forging of this Miraculous Item was the most perfunctory.

In the previous instances, Chen Li had added a large number of Crystals to the forging furnace, but this time he only added 5 Crystals.

"Because the person who wants this Miraculous Item has very simple requirements: they just want to use it to find out where there's Miraculous Item nearby. If there is entertainment, they'll watch it; if not, they'll create their own..."

"Such a description... surely the person who commissioned you to create this Miraculous Item isn't some Masked Fool?" Vill-V joked.

"Hey, what a Masked Fool."

"???"

Unexpectedly, she suddenly ran into her Travel Together Vill-V, and was momentarily stunned.

Vill-V's true profession is Fraudster, which is different from the Elation Masked Fool, but Vill-V is, after all, Envoy of Joy.

Although Vill-V used all of her Envoy of Joy power to create a mask.

"Vill-V, how is your Persona Mask developing?" Chen Li asked.

Chen Li's special trip back to the Moth Chasing Flame to create Miraculous Item was certainly not because he was too idle.

"After two days of my hard work, this mask has grown considerably. If I use it to its full potential now, it should be able to help the Moth Chasing Flame stand up," Vill-V said after thinking for a moment.

Theoretically speaking, it would be easy to destroy the Moth Chasing Flame with the power of the Envoy of Joy, but when Vill-V made the invention, she never focused on its Destruction power, but rather on its functionality.

Therefore, Vill-V sacrificed the lower limit of the Envoy of Joy's power to raise its upper limit. As long as this mask is continuously placed on strange objects and more personalities are collected, the mask's upper limit can be continuously increased.

It also has the property of activating any item.

Its effect is no different from some beginner's Miraculous Item, the only difference is that it is too expensive.

Even if you stripped the Aeon of Joy bald, you still wouldn't be able to find many masks like this.

"And among these, the weapons you crafted using the Synthesis Table, which possess special attributes, provide the mask with far more spiritual energy than ordinary items," Vill-V said.

Spirituality is also a factor that determines the strength of the personality in Persona Mask.

Although the personalities awakened by the Persona Mask are all pure and weak, there are differences in weakness.

Just like how humans and blue whales, both mammals, differ in size by a few hundred million.

This was one of the new ideas that came to Vill-V after visiting the Sui-Yang Furnace of the Gong Zao Division Company.

"It's already able to cover the Moth Chasing Flame base? Not bad. I might need to use your Persona Mask later. Let me know in advance."

"Sure, but what do you want to do?"

"Caused a minor incident."

"???"

"Don't worry, it's really small. It won't bother anyone else. It'll just make some people furious and want to find me after they discover someone is impersonating her," Chen Li said.

Sparkle should take the blame for Chen Li; the blame lies with Sparkle for the forging fee he needs to pay Chen Li.

But the fact that Sparkle swindled all the money Chen Li had given Argenti is another matter entirely.

Chen Li always calculates accounts very clearly.

"Then have fun." Vill-V declined to comment.

The Masked Fool is like this: if you have the idea of watching others make a fool of themselves, then you should be prepared to be the one being made a fool of yourself.

Those who bring joy to others will always be joyful in return; this is the norm in the world.

"Do you really intend to use my lab as your chatterbox? Do you even respect me as the owner of this lab?!" Seeing Chen Li and Vill-V chatting so happily, Mobius finally couldn't take it anymore.

"Yes, yes, by the way, how is Elysia? After her projection was canceled, did her experience return to her original body? Has her power increased?" Chen Li asked Vill-V while giving Mobius a perfunctory answer.

"I'm not entirely sure, because from the moment the projection was canceled half an hour ago, Elysia was enveloped in Crystals and fell into a deep sleep. I sent her back to her room, and she seems to be digesting the enormous power she suddenly gained," Vill-V said.

Elysia's situation is different from that of Vill-V, Mobius, and Sakura.

Because either the three of them didn't receive much from their Path, or they used the power of their Path for something else.

The power of the Envoy of Beauty that Elysia obtained brought her tremendous benefits.

"Preliminary speculation suggests that Elysia is combining the powers of her Herrscher of the Human with those of the Envoy of Beauty." Seeing that Vill-V and Chen Li had no intention of changing their conversation, Mobius reluctantly joined the discussion.

"I see... I wonder what changes will occur." Chen Li nodded.

Elysia's identity Herrscher of the Human and her powers as the Herrscher of Origin are highly compatible with Path of Beauty.

However, Elysia first served as the pink sun on the Xianzhou for two days, and then was frozen in the Crystal and fell asleep after the projection returned, which was truly a Tonghua- like beauty.

Elysia was destined to suffer this ordeal.

"I wonder how long it will take Elysia to digest this..."

"It's simple to find out, just join me in accelerating civilization, right?" Chen Li had a good idea.

"Forget it. I still vividly remember the tragedy that occurred after you accelerated civilization last time." Vill-V disagreed with this opinion.

"You have the nerve to say that? It was you who dismantled the Supreme Imperial Armament into pieces, causing the biggest impact on the Imperial Capital." Chen Li rolled his eyes at Vill-V.

"How could that be? It was clearly Mobius and Ruan Mei who caused the biggest impact. I disassembled the Supreme Imperial Armament and then put it back together, but the genes of the two of them that changed the flying-type Dangerous Species haven't been corrected yet," Vill-V objected.

"It's true that the genetic modification wasn't reversed, but Najenda has already sent people to capture all the Dangerous Species flying species whose genes were modified and put them in the zoo to perform," Mobius said.

"So that's how it was solved? That's too brutal!"

"Cruel? They have food, drink, and entertainment. Isn't that easier than them guarding the palace in the skies above the Imperial Capital every day?" Mobius waved his hand.

"I think the last Civilization Acceleration was an accident. This time, I've also joined the script to make sure I keep an eye on Mobius and Nguyen May," Chen Li said.

"Why me and Nguyen Mai?" Mobius was not satisfied with Chen Li's statement.

Nguyen Mai, who was drinking tea nearby, also glanced at him slightly.

"Because I'm afraid you two will do something terrible." Chen Li looked at a ball placed on the Mobius experiment table.

"Oh, you mean that thing? It's called Honkai Sphere. It was an idea of mine and Ruan Mei's. After Ruan Mei came to the Honkai world and learned about the effects of my scalpel, she made a suggestion: What If I can condense plants into life seeds, can I also condense animals into life seeds?"

"And it's not just about life seeds. What If the scalpel can cause the operated subject to evolve in a fixed direction during surgery, could we temporarily regress them to a miniature state, store their potential points, and then use a life preservation device to collect them, restoring them to their original state when needed for combat..."

"With the combined efforts of the two of us, we created the Honkai Sphere next to us."

"There is a Temple-class Honkai Beast imprisoned inside the Honkai Sphere. It is the initial product of the experiment. However, the problem now is how to control the Honkai beasts inside..." Mobius said with some trouble.

"Isn't that simple? I can separate a personality from the Persona Mask, edit it, and then implant it into the Honkai beasts's mind, making it under my control," Vill-V said.

This is also the inspiration that Vill-V drew from the Sui-Yang.

The Furnace of Creation contains countless Sui-Yang of which can divide its body into countless fragments to control other creatures.

Therefore, Vill-V was also thinking that since the personality gathered by the Persona Mask was just sitting there anyway, perhaps it could be used to indirectly control living beings.

"Controlling a Honkai beasts isn't difficult, but we're considering how to mass-produce it."

"Mass production?" Vill-V joined the conversation.

"In fact, after our discussions, we have come up with a fairly perfect solution." Seeing that Vill-V was interested, Mobius didn't mind discussing this matter with Vill-V.

"Vill-V, as you know, What If a technology cannot be widely used, then it is an immature technology. And if I have to use Miraculous Item to perform surgery on each Honkai beasts to put them into Honkai Sphere, the cost would be too high and it would not be universal."

"So Nguyen Mai and I decided to solve this problem at its root."

"Oh? Fundamentally?"

"That's right! The Cocoon of Eternity!" A cryptic light shone in Mobius's eyes.

"What If Chen Li can take me to the location of the Cocoon of Eternity, and I can perform surgery on the Cocoon of Eternity, I am confident that I can make the Honkai beasts spawned by the Honkai in the future have this common mechanism, that is, when they are attacked fatally or if they want to, they can shrink themselves to the size of a thumb and store the excess potential points."

"When needed, the potential points can be recycled to transform it back into a behemoth."

"In this way, as long as we can mass-produce this item called Honkai Sphere, which is actually a life support device, we can obtain a large number of living Honkai beasts."

"As for how to make the Honkai beasts in these Honkai Spheres fight for the user, it is not difficult to solve. We just need to increase the Honkai beasts' affinity for people with Honkai resistance when performing surgery on the Cocoon of Eternity."
