Chen Li, I'll Take All Your Blame on My Shoulders! I'm So Brave! (Part 2)

Sparkle are fearless now!

However, to Sparkle's surprise, the moment she put the Sparkle into her mouth, she seemed to come alive and became full of energy!

My body, which had been nearly broken down after being tormented by the Negative Artifact for 20 minutes, instantly returned to its peak condition.

"Senzu Beans are a kind of divine object that, apart from not being able to cure diseases, can fully revive a person who is on the verge of death," the Great Herta explained.

Even the Great Herta couldn't help but marvel at the wonder of Haruhi Suzumiya.

In Haruhi Suzumiya's own world, she can do whatever she wants. The Haruhi Suzumiya Senzu Beans Haruhi Suzumiya cultivates herself have the same effect as the original Senzu Beans and are highly praised.

Of the 365 Senzu Beans cultivated by Haruhi Suzumiya, Chen Li kept 100 for himself, gave 50 to Mobius and 50 to Ruan Mei, allowing them to cultivate them separately. The remaining 165 were placed in the Miraculous Item Group, where members could take them at will if needed.

In Chen Li's words, these friends are her Friendship and Bonds; their happiness and well-being are more important to the Lady than anything else.

The group members were deeply moved.

At the same time, he also highly praised Haruhi Suzumiya for growing the Senzu Beans.

This has led Haruhi Suzumiya to begin to doubt whether she is truly suited to be a botanist.

Therefore, Haruhi Suzumiya did not come to cause trouble at the Herta Space Station or the Xianzhou today, but stayed in her own world to study the magical plants.

But that's precisely why Chen Li needs to go to Haruhi Suzumiya's World early in the morning to throw her a Joy Dice, in order to prevent him from causing any big trouble.

So there were no Joy Points left on the Joy Dice.

In the end, it was Sparkle who suffered the most.

Everything has a traceable pattern!

"I originally thought that eating this broad bean would heal my injury, but it has produced strange side effects," Sparkle said.

"You're overthinking it. Alright, your injuries have been healed, you can leave now," said the Great Herta.

"Hmm, don't I need to pay any medical expenses or anything? Are you just letting me go like this?" Sparkle looked at the Great Herta suspiciously.

"If you'd like, you can have another round with the Aeon of Joy; He seems to be looking forward to it."

"Goodbye! No, never again!" Upon hearing the words of the Great Herta, Sparkle was startled and immediately chose to run away.

After Sparkle ran out of the door pointed to by the Great Herta and returned to reality, Sparkle pushed the door open again and saw the hotel's corridor... which finally made Sparkle breathe a sigh of relief.

Just then, Sparkle received a communication request from the Miraculous Forger.

"..."

"..."

Sparkle and Chen Li remained silent for a long time after their face-to-face video call.

"Uh, did you have fun?"

"Thanks, I had a lot of fun with you," Sparkle said, sounding a bit annoyed.

"I gave you a chance, but you didn't succeed," Chen Li said innocently.

"Then I really thank you for giving me this opportunity! You didn't say before that you wanted me to challenge the Aeon."

"..." Chen Li didn't say anything, but instead clicked on the Friends Circle Terminal and listened to a voice message.

"When it comes to having fun, I, Sparkle, have never been afraid of anyone! You don't need to tell me who your opponent is, you just need to tell me what level of fun you want to see!"

"..." Sparkle was speechless for a moment.

Because I really said those words myself.

But at the time, Sparkle didn't expect Chen Li to arrange such an opponent for her.

Don't you think this match difficulty is still too much for me?

Your rank points are 400+ lower than the average match points, but you don't need to worry about how many "+"s there are, right?

How is your matchmaking system any different from that martial arts battle royale game where the matchmaking opens when the pool is full?

"How about this, to compensate you, I won't let you take the blame for me, okay? Or I'll try to keep a low profile and not let others find out my true identity," Chen Li said.

Chen Li truly hadn't expected that the Joy Dice could be so ruthless towards the very source of its main entry.

There are two modes of Joy Dice: one is rolling a number, and the other is comparing wins and losses.

This was the first time Chen Li had ever seen someone throw out a "1" during a game of chance.

Sparkle's unfortunate experiences were so heartbreaking that even Chen Li couldn't bear to see them.

"No need! How far can a genius from the Genius Society go in causing trouble? As long as you don't start a war across the entire universe like Emperor Rupert did, I, Sparkle, can take the blame for you!" Sparkle indicated that she was willing to accept defeat.

"I'm not a bad person, of course I wouldn't do something so heinous. But won't you reconsider?"

"No need, you can record what I just said as evidence!"

"But..."

"No buts. I'm really looking forward to seeing what kind of fun you can come up with next. Go for it! As long as it's related to fun, I, Sparkle, will take the blame! A spectacular farce is the glory of the Masked Fool!" Sparkle said.

In fact, Sparkle has a high opinion of Chen Li.

If it weren't for me being the unlucky one who got stuck with Negative Artifact for 20 minutes because of a Great Failure today, Sparkle would favor Chen Li more.

"Haki, you bastard... is this the enlightenment of the Masked Fool? Vill-V, you should learn from him." Chen Li turned to look at Vill-V beside him.

"Tch, if I actually made the Xianzhou stand up, you wouldn't be happy," Vill-V muttered under her breath.

"I want you to learn this Path of Joy, the pursuit of Elation. Not to feel happy or sad because of one person's honor or disgrace. This might allow you to go further on the Path of Joy," Chen Li said.

"I have an idea! I can prepare a magic trick to make the Mu Continent disappear!" Vill-V's eyes lit up.

"I'm sorry, I was too harsh just now. You should probably calm down." Chen Li changed the subject.

On the other hand... Vill-V was never suited for Path of Joy; she could only deceive herself and could not derive Elation from it.

The only thing that Vill-V was associated with was that Vill-V herself was the "Elation."

"..."

"Oh, is this lady also from the Path of Joy? She's a new face I've never seen before." Sparkle became interested in Vill-V, who had just entered the frame.

"Yes and no." Chen Li shook his head.

"Are you two interested in joining the Tavern? I can be your guarantor. All you need to do is steal a mask from the Mourning Troupe's ship to prove yourselves, and you can join the Tavern. That's how all the Masked Fools got started." Sparkle became even more enthusiastic upon hearing this.

"Since the Masked Fool's mask is stolen from the Mourning Troupe, why don't we just steal the Masked Fool's mask directly?" Chen Li countered.

"That works too," Sparkle nodded.

"Oh, I have one." Chen Li took out a red and white mask.

"You're practically a born Masked Fool's Holy Body... Wait, why does that mask on your hand look so familiar?" Sparkle's praise stopped abruptly when the mask appeared.

"I don't know, Aha gave it to me. It was a gift from Aha when we first met. Speaking of which, the 'Elation' word on the Joy Dice you used comes from this mask," Chen Li said.

"... This is my mask!" Sparkle exploded.

No wonder I didn't realize who stole my mask!

Sparkle, a junior employee, started to doubt his own abilities before he even beat his Travel Together, and now you're telling me the chairman stole it?

"Really?"

"Didn't I show you the design sketches for the mask?"

"I thought all of you Masked Fools ' masks looked the same."

"Give me back my mask!"

"I remember Sparkle, didn't you say you would take back your mask through your own abilities?"

"... Then keep the mask you have safe, I will come and get it!"

"No problem."

"Wait, so if that's the case... this mask wasn't stolen from me, was it?" Sparkle couldn't help but take off the black and red mask from her head and ask.

"You'll have to ask Aha, don't ask me. Aha has never told me where the mask came from," Chen Li said with certainty.

Aha didn't say it, but that didn't stop Chen Li from knowing.

"Damn it!" Aha Sparkle her teeth.

If it weren't for Chen Li, Sparkle would never have known that she was so favored by the Aeon of Joy.

If you really like me that much, then why don't you make me your Emanator?

I treat you like a faith, and you treat me like a provider of Elation words, right?

Now... I like it even more!

So, to express her affection, Sparkle decides to borrow the Joy Dice one more time.

"Dad, lend me the Joy Dice one more time!"

What are you going to do?

"Let's duel Aha again!"

"Let's not?"

"I know you're worried about me..." Sparkle a warmth in her heart.

Chen Li still has some conscience; he must have been deeply moved by Chen Li's decision to fight the Aeon of Joy alone.

"No, it's mainly because the fact that you were under hard control for 20 minutes meant that the Joy Dice had just been filled with Joy Points. Lending it to you would be too wasteful," Chen Li said tactfully.

"What are Joy Points?" Sparkle was taken aback.

"It means that the item that can adjust the value of the Joy Dice can store up to 10 points, which means it can be adjusted from 1 to 11 points at most."

"Then why can't I use it?" Sparkle's eyes widened.

If the Joy Dice had rolled a full number, I could have easily turned the tables and won!

"Uh... I used the Joy Dice to Deliverance before I put it into the gacha pool, and then I used up all the Joy Dice points." Chen Li scratched his head.

"That damned Miraculous Forger!" Sparkle gritted her teeth.

"Don't say that, I'm also trying to Deliverance."

"Alright then... but as compensation for being under the control of the Negative Artifact for 20 minutes, you have to lend me another set of Joy Dice filled with Joy Dice! I want to duel with the God of Fun again!"

"Hmm... it's possible, but I feel that the moment you said those words, Aha couldn't possibly be in front of you anymore. You don't actually think the Aeon of Joy isn't Peeping you, do you?" Chen Li was quite qualified to speak on this point.

The Aeon of Joy is a Peeping!

"..." by Sparkle.

The Aeon of Joy is indeed fearless in the pursuit of amusement.

The Aeon of Joy could indeed find it amusing to be the butt of jokes.

But the Aeon of Joy can also find the fact that "Sparkle wanted to see the Aeon of Joy but couldn't" to be funny.

Path of Joy, isn't that amazing?

"However, you are not entirely without a chance."

"What opportunity?" Sparkle's eyes lit up with hope.

"Now, let's travel back 10 minutes and slap you for saying you didn't want to fight the Aeon of Joy again. You should know that when you rejected the Aeon of Joy's best-of-three request, the Joy Dice had already accumulated enough Joy Points."

"... Stop talking, I really want to slap myself right now. Or do you think you can find a time-traveling Miraculous Item?"

"It can be made, but I feel it's a bit too late. Alright, give me back the Joy Dice. This thing doesn't bring happiness," Chen Li said.

The Joy Dice, this Miraculous Item, has always been in Sparkle's possession.

"Sigh... I really wanted to practice with the Aeon of Joy again, but now there's no chance." Sparkle sighed, pressed the dice in her hand into the video call interface in front of her, and then hung up the call.

The Joy Dice passed through the video and landed in Chen Li's hand on the other side of the screen.

"It seems that the matter of using Miraculous Item to duel with the Aeon of Joy still needs to be carefully considered," Sparkle muttered to herself.

But how do we lure out the Aeon of Joy?

"I heard you want to spar with me?" A cheerful voice rang in Sparkle's ears.

Sparkle turned her head to look at the Aeon of Joy who was so close to her, and then glanced at the closed video call interface. In that Setsuna, a flawless smile appeared on her face.

"Of course not. Dear God of Fun, I meant I would like to meet with you."
