Chapter 221
When Chen Li and Sirin are within 100 meters, Sirin's presence does not necessarily mean Chen Li's presence, but Chen Li's presence always means Sirin's presence.
"Oh, don't misunderstand, I really only created this Miraculous Item because I wanted to slap someone from a distance, but I didn't expect it to be so Miraculous Item effective," Chen Li said embarrassedly.
Chen Li had long wanted to create a Miraculous Item that could slap someone through the internet, but he was always short of money. Later, when he had the money, he naturally wanted to indulge himself and reward himself.
Moreover, after Chen Li finishes, he can lend this Miraculous Item to Sunday to generate income.
If a world without Robin were truly created, it would likely yield a considerable amount of Miracle Crystals.
"That's great too, it means you're very lucky." Sirin nodded.
He's the man I've chosen; he's honest.
"I have a question," Bronya suddenly said.
"What's the problem?"
"Doctor. Einstein and the others may not have time to help change Seele back from the quantum state to her original state." Bronya's expression was somewhat conflicted.
After all, Bronya was a key figure in the reformist leader Cocolia, while Einstein and his Doctor were conservatives.
"Honkai Impact 3rd is a positive, uplifting, and healthy story, so your worries are unfounded. But... since we're just killing time anyway, I can help you create an interesting Miraculous Item. It might come in handy later." Chen Li couldn't help but feel proud as he thought about the brilliant idea he had just come up with.
"Really? I'd do anything to bring Seele back to me!" Bronya said, moved.
To eliminate his worries, he was even willing to forge a unique Miraculous Item just for himself!
"..." Seeing Bronya's gaze, Sirin, who was watching the drama unfold, couldn't help but straighten her back.
Something's not right. Something's extremely wrong.
"Chen Li's forging isn't free, remember to pay him," Sirin hurriedly said.
Sirin was thinking of using a reward to bring Bronya to her senses; this was an exchange of benefits, not simply helping her.
"I know I will dedicate the rest of my life to it!" Bronya nodded.
"..." Sirin crushed the melon in her hand.
[Wish Granting]: If there is a request, it will be answered.
Effect 1 - Manifestation: Keywords can be set for this Miraculous Item. When a behavior or event that triggers or matches the keyword occurs within the set range, the Miraculous Item holder can selectively appear next to that person.
Effect 2 - Summoning: Generate the image of the person or group you wish to summon in your mind. If the other party responds, you can summon them to your vicinity.
Wish Granting doesn't mean agreeing, but rather responding.
If Chen Li wanted to help Bronya see Seele, he had several ways. The reason he specially crafted this Miraculous Item was because it was part of a certain one -Miraculous Item One-star Artifact that Chen Li wanted to create.
Chen Li plans to help Sunday build a real Paradise, but the Paradise needs an admission ticket.
On Sunday, there's no problem with creating something that even the Aeon can't violate.
It's perfectly fine to create a world with seven days off on Sundays.
But it's not possible to get everyone into this Paradise on Sunday.
It's even more unacceptable to bring others into this Paradise without their consent.
Chen Li is here to create positive Miracles, not to Destruction the world.
The One-star Artifact has the ability to fight against the world, but Sunday wanted Chen Li to suppress the world!
That's asking too much, so why not just put a gate on this Paradise?
It can both block those with ulterior motives and embrace the suffering masses who have lost hope in the real world.
And heaven is a perfect template, isn't it?
Making things that only exist in Miracles appear is the job of Chen Li, the Miraculous Forger.
Creating this Miraculous Item not only eased the burden of building Paradise for Sunday in the future, but also made Hanya in Spain – a huge win!
"Seele, I've finally met you! It's Bronya! I didn't expect you to have grown so much in so long... uh, so tall." Bronya excitedly hugged Seele in front of her.
"Bronya? That name sounds familiar." Seele scratched her head.
"Seele, it's me, Bronya! Have you forgotten? We were best friends in the orphanage!" Bronya released Seele and noticed that Seele seemed to have forgotten something. Although she was a little sad, that wasn't the point anymore.
As long as Seele can come back, even if she has amnesia, I can recreate memories with her!
"An orphanage? Oh, I seem to remember that!" Seele was several heads taller than Bronya, suddenly slammed her fist down.
"Bronya, did you summon Seele back from the Sea of Quantum?" Chen Li, who had finished forging the Miraculous Item and handed it to Bronya before going off to do other things, wanted to see the results.
"The summoning has returned, look at Seele." Bronya nodded excitedly.
"Who the Seele?" Chen Li couldn't help but swear as he looked at the clear-eyed Seele in front of him.
No, buddy...
I told you to summon Seele Vollerei, but how did you summon Seele from the Lower City of Jarilo-VI in the Honkai: Star Rail world?
And it's quite strange that you two could actually talk to each other even though you're on different wavelengths.
Is there a problem?
"This is a huge problem. Bronya, tell me, what were you thinking when you used that Miraculous Item?"
"I want Seele to come to me," Bronya said.
"Which Seele?"
"Or is there some Seele, of course it's Seele Vollerei?" Bronya felt that Chen Li's question was nonsensical.
"Then ask her what her name is?" Chen Li asked, pointing at Seele.
"Uh, you might have mistaken me for someone else. My name is indeed Seele, but I don't have a surname." Seele scratched her head.
"???" Bronya felt like her world had collapsed.
You mean I sold myself out, but the Seele I summoned wasn't the Seele I wanted?
"Then why did you...?"
"Because I also grew up in an orphanage, and I had a best friend when I was a child. She does look a bit like you." Seele shrugged.
"..." Bronya couldn't believe that such a coincidence could exist in the world.
"Is your orphanage director also named Cocolia?" Bronya asked.
"Cocolia? Where? That damned Cocolia!" Upon hearing the name, Seele raised her scythe with murderous intent.
Seele's scythe was also one of the reasons why Bronya felt she hadn't summoned the wrong person.
They have the same hair color, look the same, and use the same weapon, only they're a little taller...
How could this not be Seele?
And why are you so angry when you hear Cocolia's name?
"Look, our Cocolia was turned into Slime because she did something wrong." Chen Li pointed to Cocolia, who was still cleaning up the trash.
Raiden Mei's house didn't originally have that much trash, but with more people and more food, the trash just kept piling up.
"That's great! Although it might not be the same Cocolia... In our world, Cocolia is a tyrant," Seele explained.
"In short, the situation is now quite clear. Bronya, because you didn't specify all the correct conditions when you wanted to summon Seele to your side, you summoned Seele that looks very similar to Seele," Chen Li said to Bronya, who looked incredulous.
"What?"
"This situation is very common in this world, because in the endless worlds, there will always be some similar worlds and some similar people," Chen Li explained.
This is what the Honkai world is like.
Just like Acheron in the Honkai: Star Rail world, whose hometown was swallowed up by the Nanook, he also saw many worlds similar to his own when he was wandering in the stars.
This is the Worldview of the Honkai world.
Bronya was so excited that she forgot to include Seele, which led to the mix-up.
As for why Seele responds to strangers... it's probably subconscious.
If you're walking down the street and suddenly hear someone call your name, you'll naturally turn around instinctively.
The fact that only one Seele appeared might be because Bronya only wanted one Seele.
The reason it's Seele and not Seele Vollerei is even simpler.
Because Seele's full name is Seele, not Seele Vollerei.
"If you don't believe me, you can ask Seele what the director of your orphanage is called. Maybe there's a corresponding person in this world."
"Our orphanage's director is named Natasha," Seele said.
"Ah, who called me?" Raven, who had just delivered the Third God Key to Raiden Mei's house, suddenly stood up and looked over.
"Natasha!" Seele exclaimed in surprise upon seeing the Raven's appearance.
"Who are you?" The Raven didn't remember ever seeing this person before.
Raven, whose real name is Natasha Xiola, is a high-ranking member of World Serpent. She is renowned in the mercenary world and is the most famous mercenary in North America. She wields the Third God Key, the Key of Judgment, "Seven Thunders of Retribution".
"Alright, sit down first." Chen Li gestured for him to sit down.
Although the Raven didn't understand what was going on, it didn't dare to make a sound.
After all, the person in front of them was someone even the Gray Serpent treated with utmost respect. It was said that, like Lord Kevin, he was an old-timer from Previous Civilization.
"See? Things just happen to be this coincidental. So now you should figure out a way to send Seele back. Then go find your Seele," Chen Li said.
"How do we return it? There's no information about it on the Miraculous Item." Bronya looked at the Miraculous Item in her hand with some difficulty.
"What? I can't go back? And I was just about to ask, where did they bring me?" Seele was a little confused.
If you say I was brought here because of a misunderstanding, I'll forgive you since you wanted to save your best friend. But you can't make it impossible for me to go back.
"This is another world. And I know you're in a hurry, but don't worry, there's a way to get you back." Chen Li began to comfort Seele.
"Real?"
"Since I was able to bring you here, I can also send you back. Here, these are Slap Gloves. After putting on the gloves, you can see the people you are connected with, then select a target, slap yourself, and you can open a time-space portal to go to that person. And this time-space portal can be traveled through," Chen Li said.
With Slap Gloves, some people no longer need to worry about getting lost.
The prerequisite is that you know someone who lives near your home.
"... Can this Slap Gloves really be used to slap anyone?" Seele suddenly asked.
"Of course. And it's guaranteed to hit."
"Can I have my hand replaced with a sickle?" Seele asked expectantly.
What do you want to do?
"Chop down Cocolia." Seele picked up her scythe.
Seele was happy at the thought of using this glove so she could slap Cocolia and then quickly pull back, leaving Seele with no chance to retaliate.
Cocolia... As long as Seele isn't caught on the spot, she has nothing to be afraid of.
After all, it was Cocolia herself who ordered the severing of the connection between the upper and Lower City.
Cocolia dares to come to the Lower City to find Seele, the entire Lower City will be thrown into a frenzy, and Cocolia will be given a real demonstration of what a riot looks like!
If you could replace your gloves with a sickle, wouldn't you be able to stick your head out and stab the other person, then pull your head back in?
"Calm down. But since it's our problem, we can't let you go back empty-handed. You can slap Cocolia with your glove, and then go home."
"Real?"
"Of course. You keep slapping me while I go prepare some local specialties for you." After saying that, Chen Li started rummaging through his inventory.
The Friends Circle Terminal is definitely needed, along with some food, and the magical life seeds that Mobius gave to Chen Li for evaluation—seeds that can be sown and grow rapidly in extreme environments.
"I suddenly realized something..." Seele nudged Chen Li, who was preparing local specialties.
"What's wrong?"
"Why isn't Cocolia on my shortlist?" Seele asked.
"... What is your relationship with Cocolia?"
"The relationship between persecutors and the persecuted."
"That's fine then, the connection is too weak. This glove can appear along the causal chain in front of any being who has mentioned your name, nickname, honorific title, or any other reference to you, and slap it/her/him/her. This effect ignores distance and the number of people. Which requirement do you meet?"
