Miraculous Forging Guide Starting from Honkai

Sharing Miraculous Items was one of Chen Li's great ideas!

Of course, not a single bit of rent could be waived!

"If you forge a Miraculous Item for me, aren't you just giving it directly to me?"

"Let's be realistic. Can you even afford the forging fee? Do you know how much a Miracle Crystal is worth?" Chen Li tossed the Miracle Crystal in his hand.

Chen Li did not want to be harsh on Tonghua, nor was he being stingy.

It was just that God-Slaying Artifacts were genuinely useful. They might prove useful in many ways later on and could generate considerable returns.

"How much?" Tonghua's heart immediately grew uneasy.

"I don't know." Chen Li shook his head.

"???"

"Anyway, I'm not lying to you."

As a crystallization of Miracle Power, Miracle Crystals could not only be used to forge Miraculous Items, but also to make things that had originally been impossible become possible.

For example, it was difficult for a cockroach to solo-kill a human, but not impossible.

Chen Li needed to study them carefully before he could reach a more accurate conclusion.

"Although I can gain Miracle Crystals by forging Miraculous Items for others, those aren't given by the customers. Miracles aren't free. I hope I run into customers in the future who can afford sufficient forging fees." Chen Li sighed.

Whether special items or money, Chen Li could not be expected to work for free.

Of course, the growth period from a while ago was an exception.

"Mm, now that you've gotten through the most difficult early stage and earned your first pot of gold, you really should change your business model." Tonghua nodded in agreement.

The same was true for evil gods developing believers. Tonghua understood that very well.

"Before you pay enough forging fees, what you get is only the right to use the Miraculous Item, not ownership of it. Besides, I can't keep using a God-Slaying Artifact forever, right?" Chen Li said.

Killing gods day and night, for three days and three nights straight—wouldn't your eyes get dry?

"Emmm... all right." Tonghua nodded.

"And if I'm shameless enough, I can even take back something I've sold you." Chen Li tossed the Miraculous Forging Guide in his hand.

The Omniscient Archive in the Miraculous Forging Guide was used to reclaim Miraculous Items.

Recklessly squandering miracles could bring about disaster.

That was a lesson learned by the Miracle System.

"All right, but for the second Miraculous Item, I need you to forge me a single-use one." Tonghua said.

"Sure." Chen Li nodded.

Tonghua meant that she did not want to share the second Miraculous Item with anyone else. Chen Li understood.

And Tonghua really did need a Miraculous Item completely bound to her as a "friend" summoning medium.

"Then I'll find a way to get something with a God-Slaying Affix." Tonghua said.

"Relics would be best, because their attribute brightness is generally high, and modifying their attributes costs less." Chen Li said.

Chen Li only had 94 crystals now, so he had to use them sparingly.

"A God-Slaying Relic? Isn't that too hard?" Tonghua complained.

Anything with even a trace of God-Slaying elements was very expensive and valuable.

"You can be flexible. For example, if you want a single-use Miraculous Item, try getting some self and anchor attributes. As for God-Slaying Attributes, killing plus god works too." Chen Li said.

"Isn't your attribute system way too convenient?"

"That's just how we Miraculous Forgers are." Chen Li said "modestly."

"All right, no problem. I'll sort through my collection. What about you? Coming with me?"

"Me? Of course I'm going to school. What else would a student do but attend school?"

"You're about to save the world, and you still have the mood to go to school? Are you sick?" Tonghua looked at Chen Li in astonishment.

Even if Chen Li stayed home and kept throwing crystals around to refresh commissions, Tonghua would at least think he was doing something serious, though wastefully.

Going to school? What school?

"Ahem, don't put it so harshly. I'm going to see whether there are any other Relics at school and figure out a way to get some." Chen Li revealed his real reason for going to school.

From Chen Li's experience, if he stayed at school for two hours, there was an eighty percent chance someone would come pick a fight with him.

Going to school to get himself hit would not take long.

"That makes sense. Your school really has a lot of Demons and Ghouls. You might find some decent Relics." Tonghua could not help nodding.

Second-generation professionals, special occupation holders, members of hidden families, reserve members of the Investigation Bureau, Magical Girls, descendants of heroes, church Saintesses, and the like—Chen Li's school had all of them.

Schrödinger's Restraint Bracelet

Chen Li's plan had been perfect—spend two hours at school getting himself hit, return home before noon for Knight's Training, then forge Miraculous Items in the afternoon.

But plans often could not keep up with changes.

For example, Chen Li had nearly forgotten that after his personal panel completely fused with the Miracle System and his talent was unsealed and upgraded, all time-, space-, and fate-related abilities within a certain range around him would temporarily fail.

In the past, Chen Li would have been fine as long as he did not personally use items of those types. But now, that was no longer possible.

Chen Li's school had all kinds of Time Cabin training rooms, Spatial Corridors, and more. If he actually went to school, the chaos he would cause was easy to imagine.

He realized this only because, not long after leaving home, he saw someone's spatial pack suddenly explode.

"..."

"..."

Chen Li and the owner of the spatial pack locked eyes.

After the spatial pack exploded and covered the ground with countless bloodstained murder weapons and all sorts of bizarre-looking torture instruments, Chen Li instinctively took a step back.

Good. Today's trouble really had refreshed!

"Hehehe, I don't know why I was exposed, but you're my next target! Die, brat! You will be the 108th soul to perish by my hand!" The young man in a baseball cap pulled low over his face cackled and charged at Chen Li.

"Kill him. He should be a serial killer."

Chen Li tossed a Starstone behind him. Amid the light, Kikyo's figure gradually appeared.

After speaking, Chen Li took a step back and placed Kikyo in front of him protectively.

After hearing Chen Li's message, Kikyo raised the Peaceful Longbow, which had become wildly excited at the sight of the serial killer.

"Ah!" The serial killer's scream lasted only an instant before all signs of life vanished.

"I've never dealt with trouble this smoothly before. Still, whether it's the Vortex of Destiny passive or the Transmigration passive, they both need some restrictions." As Chen Li considered the issue, he greeted Kikyo and began dialing the police.

Although it should currently be dawn in Kikyo's world, summoning support did not require the other party's consent, as long as they did not refuse. However, agreeing to answer the summoning was what truly made someone a summoned friend. If they did not refuse but did not actively answer, the summoned support would seem extremely stiff.

It was like the difference between manually controlling a turn-based game and leaving it on auto-battle.

But the latter would at least ensure that the summoned support would not be killed in reverse because the summoner had not woken up yet.

This suspected serial killer had died quite cleanly before the Peaceful Longbow. But death was only the beginning.

At this moment, Chen Li, who was in the forging room, silently tossed a clover into the Forging Table.

Chen Li began forging another Miraculous Item, this time specifically for his current problem.

He thought that since controlling himself was somewhat troublesome, he might as well hand the matter over to a Miraculous Item. While he was at it, he could strengthen several of his passive abilities.

This clover was something Chen Li had asked Tonghua for after calling her back.

Lucky Four-Leaf Clover: It could cause events happening to its user to develop in a random direction favorable to them.

A great Miraculous Item, wasn't it?

But the problem was that it only had three leaves left.

Only when it was a four-leaf clover could it make events happening to its user develop in a random direction favorable to them. But after being used four times, it had become a three-leaf clover, and its effect had reversed.

The activation condition had not changed. It still required sacrificing twice one's future luck to trigger the effect, but it would only make events happening to its user develop in a random unfavorable direction.

Tonghua did not feel the slightest heartache when Chen Li asked for it.

Because she had no use for it at all.

Because of this, Chen Li also gave Tonghua a commission—try to acquire Relics with extremely strong side effects but little actual use.

In the hands of a Miraculous Forger, even the worst attributes had their uses.

Sometimes, the attributes generated by a Relic's side effects might be even better than its positive effects.

As time passed, countless attributes appeared before Chen Li: imprisonment, misfortune, luck, randomness, favorable, reversal, outbreak, curse...

The first attribute came from a crystal containing an imprisonment attribute that Chen Li had thrown in at the same time.

The crystal with a sealing attribute could also serve as fuel for Miracle Fire, ensuring nothing went to waste.

With an idea already formed in his mind, Chen Li began forging.

Schrödinger's Restraint Bracelet: A bracelet that could be used to restrain one's own abilities. When you objectively need it to take effect, it will take effect. When you do not need it to take effect, it will not take effect. Everything is for allowing your abilities to develop in the favorable direction you need! Moreover, the longer the restraint lasts, the stronger the effect when that ability is next activated.

PS: Restraint is for better development.

(Miracle: I am improving the Forging Commission function so that it can display the approximate Starstone rewards obtainable after completing commissions. By the way... Master, are you really not interested in having fun?)

This bracelet could not only restrain the "chaos" passive, but also restrain the "Vortex of Destiny" and "Transmigration" passives at the same time.

And after fixing "favorable" as the limiting condition, the next time Chen Li could not beat someone, the bracelet might directly trigger the "Transmigration" passive and help him run away.

Even Chen Li was surprised by how effective the bracelet was.

Although it required its user to "voluntarily" restrain their abilities, that was enough.

At the same time, this Miraculous Item showed Chen Li another possibility—since he could forge a Miraculous Item that restrained the enhanced "Transmigrator" talent he had gained after fusing with the Miracle System, perhaps one day he could forge a Miraculous Item that surpassed the Miracle System itself.

Understand miracles! Surpass miracles! Surpass...

Chen Li put the bracelet, which had cost him 15 crystals to forge, around his wrist.

Extracting attributes with Miracle Fire had cost only 4 crystals, once again proving the superiority of Relics as forging materials.

Increasing the attribute capacity cost 10 crystals, while the remaining 1 crystal had been used to preserve attribute reversal.

Professional Experience +14

Miraculous Forger: Lv1 (87/100)

"I really should collect more Relics in the future. For now, let's test the effects of Knight's Training." Chen Li took out a card printed with a full-body image of Argenti.

Since he could now restrain his abilities, Chen Li would not go to school to get himself hit.

He might as well take leave until the college entrance exams, then return to Moth Chasing Flame in a couple of days to learn Archery Combat from Elysia.

"The local gangs have no manners. Out-of-town gangs are easier to deal with. I'll undergo Knight's Training first, then study merit tonight." After deciding on his upcoming schedule, Chen Li used the card.

The reason he had forged the Constraint Bracelet before using the training card was also to prevent his own "chaos" talent from affecting the training card's effects.

Knight of Beauty's Training—Praise Training! Activate!

Combat Technique (Purple)

Tenacious Spirit (Purple)

Unyielding Body (Purple)

Sincere Praise, Childlike Heart (Red)

Seeing the four options that appeared after using the Knight of Beauty's Training card, Chen Li roughly understood everything.
