Chapter 247
God knows why I was teleported to the highest point of the Moth Chasing Flame this time.
The wind up there is really strong.
"It's nothing. Do you want to summon Kevin and the others' projections to the Previous Civilization now?" Vill-V asked.
"Of course, the sooner the better for this kind of thing."
"This is the Honkai location program I created, which can detect all small-scale Honkai events worldwide. I've already uploaded it to my Friends Circle Terminal."
"Okay, thank you for your help." After solving this last problem, Chen Li tossed the four Starstones in his hand, then used all his spare Attribute Points to increase his strength, and threw the four Starstones in the four directions of east, west, south, and north.
The Starstones streaked across the sky like a shooting star, its whistling sound nearly triggering the alarm of the Moth Chasing Flame.
Kevin and his companions will be summoned at the point where the Starstones lands.
They can then use their own mobile Friends Circle Terminal download the program and clean up the Honkai beasts.
If someone else wants to earn this extra money, they can teleport to the vicinity of the four of them through their Friends Circle Terminal will record the number of Honkai beasts they kill.
Chen Li won't lose out, because their killing of Honkai beasts is earning Chen Li Starstones.
"That's it?"
"That's good. How's the improvement work on the Moth Chasing Flame lately?" Chen Li asked as they walked toward Elysia's room.
Chen Li wanted to scrape off some more ice cream powder in Elysia's flavor while Elysia was still asleep.
"Very good. The United Nations has poured a lot of resources into the Moth Chasing Flame. The welfare and treatment of the warriors active on the front lines against the Honkai have been greatly improved. Moreover, the Moth Chasing Flame also has more resources and funds to rebuild the areas affected by the Honkai... You don't know until you check, and you'll be shocked. Those old fogies of the United Nations are really rich," Vill-V exclaimed.
Even without using United Nations resources, the resources controlled by the Families of those high-ranking United Nations officials are enough to support several Moth Chasing Flame.
Now, all the money is like Moth Chasing Flame!
The Moth Chasing Flame are gradually replacing the United Nations as the sole authoritative organization of the entire Previous Civilization.
However, this will still take time.
But it also allowed Vill-V to thoroughly enjoy the thrill of defeating monsters and raking in gold coins.
"Although there are still many problems at the moment, all the problems will be solved when the Stigmata Game is popularized in this civilization, and wealth will be Redistribution! I've always thought how wonderful it would be What If changing the world could be as simple as making weapons, and the Miraculous Item just fill that gap." Vill-V couldn't hide her excitement.
"The Stigmata Game can indeed Redistribution the world's wealth to the right people. But before that, a sufficiently powerful law enforcement agency is needed. It can prevent some unnecessary tragedies from happening. The Current Civilization has the Honkai-Moe Paradise, a force that can openly dominate everything, so their transition to change will be very smooth, but the Previous Civilization could not," Chen Li said.
Those at the top of the pyramid possess mountains of gold and silver, while those at the bottom have to carefully calculate even the crumbs of bread.
This is inherently unfair.
It's time for those cowards, parasites, and oppressors to experience what it feels like to be purged!
While Chen Li could certainly help this world solve its Honkai problem, cleaning up the world's parasites would just be a side job.
It's like asking if you'd mind slapping Otto twice as you walk by.
"So the first world to undergo reform will be the future Honkai world, right? And what we need to do is accelerate the growth of the Moth Chasing Flame before the results are in. I will also frequently travel to future civilizations to check on the progress of the changes." Vill-V nodded.
The Current Civilization has an advantage that the Previous Civilization did not have: the three major powers of Schicksal, Anti-Entropy, and World Serpent all knew Honkai suffering that Honkai would bring to humanity, but the higher-ups of the Previous Civilization did not.
Or they know, but don't care.
Therefore, changes in the Current Civilization should be relatively peaceful, while changes in the Previous Civilization will be relatively intense.
But that's okay, there are intense ways to play too.
"Here, you should be able to use this." Chen Li tossed a gold coin to Vill-V.
A single gold coin that could change the world.
"I remember this was... Approval of Noble Morality?"
"That's right. You can also call it Karma Coins. It can ward off disasters, protect people, and even be used for immoral things. Moreover, it has another feature: when it is held by an immoral person, its 'likes' will disappear. Although it can still be used normally, it can be used to distinguish who is unworthy of their position," Chen Li explained.
Being unworthy of being a human being—isn't that a case of being unworthy of one's position?
"I have also given Theresa a large number of Approval of Noble Morality, which she has distributed to the various branches of Schicksal, Anti-Entropy, and World Serpent around the world to screen those who come to obtain the third Stigmata. The Moth Chasing Flame of the Previous Civilization will naturally be used as well."
The third Stigmata is the key to bringing about change in the world.
In theory, people with enormous wealth can hire more people to capture Honkai beasts for them in the early stages of the Stigmata Game as initial capital to quickly strengthen themselves.
However, the hard requirement for using the Poké Ball normally is to have three Stigmata.
The first Stigmata is something everyone possesses.
The second Stigmata is available when you turn 10.
However, in the Current Civilization, one can only obtain the third Stigmata after passing the test and review of the Honkai-Moe Paradise.
This review is actually a kind of reckoning.
Approval of Noble Morality can be used to judge good and evil.
When you encounter someone who Approval of Noble Morality, arrest them first.
If someone harbors ulterior motives and doesn't want to claim the third Stigmata, just arrest them.
This is like handing out gold bars in a village; all you have to do is swipe your ID card to verify if you're a villager and you can receive them.
If you don't accept it, it proves you're definitely not from this village.
Similarly, if you don't accept the third Stigmata, then you're definitely not a good person.
Some might explain that they suffer from paranoia, but the Approval of Noble Morality is not deceiving.
Stigmata are tickets that lead humanity to a new world; they are not for those with guilty consciences.
Therefore, Chen Li needs the Moth Chasing Flame to grow stronger quickly... at least he needs a large number of them.
Of course, it is also possible that some people may obtain the original Stigmata due to committing too many evil deeds, but once such a Stigmata appears, the Cocoon of Eternity will issue an alarm.
Honkai-Moe Paradise (Schicksal, Anti-Entropy, World Serpent) has already captured many people using this mechanism.
"I think that rushing to expand recruitment within the Moth Chasing Flame this could lead to bad actors within the Moth Chasing Flame. It's not impossible that someone might use their approval authority to amass wealth." Vill-V had more to consider.
"Don't panic. After I perform surgery on the Cocoon of Eternity in this world, I'll have enough Civilization Value to awaken a level seven Collective Consciousness. With Collective Consciousness, the problem will be much easier to solve." Chen Li reassured Vill-V.
The biggest difference between the Previous Civilization and the Current Civilization is that the Current Civilization has a ready-made Collective Consciousness — the Honkai Consciousness —that it can use, while the Previous Civilization did not.
It goes without saying which is cheaper: adopting a child, finding a girlfriend, getting married, having a child, and raising the child to adulthood.
However, the drawback of Collective Consciousness is that it cannot directly resort to violence, so it is also necessary to conduct censorship through the Approval of Noble Morality.
After marking a target, sending someone to their home to arrest them is much more convenient than having the target come to your door and voluntarily be arrested.
"What we urgently need right now is a trustworthy manager, otherwise I don't know who to lend this Miracle Card to," Chen Li said, holding the [Game Life] Miracle Card.
Neither Vill-V nor Mobius were clearly management talents.
Giving the Miracle Card "Game Life" to a managerial talent allows them to quickly discover talent, assign positions, and deploy personnel!
"How about... Vill-V, you create a personality for yourself that represents a genius leader?"
"What kind of personality is that? I don't want it! Besides, I'm not Fusion Warrior anymore, how can I just cut off my personality like that?" Vill-V shook her head frantically.
What do you take me Vill-V? A universal plug?
"You said you didn't want to, not that you couldn't, right?"
"...Why don't you go find Mei?" Vill-V was about to make a despicable decision.
"But Mei is still a high school student."
"It's alright, even if Mei doesn't know how now, she can learn," Vill-V said with a wave of her hand.
Besides, Mei was originally the best manager of the Moth Chasing Flame.
Moreover, for a female high school student to start out as the most powerful person in the world, isn't that the epitome of a wish-fulfillment story?
As for becoming a manager, where would one find the energy to conduct research?
Vill-V believed that May would manage her time well.
At worst, we can use Houraisan Kaguya's abilities to create a Miraculous Item for Mei.
Houraisan Kaguya possesses not only the Power of Eternity but also the power of [Moment], which can slow the flow of time to near standstill.
Vill-V couldn't even imagine how convenient it would be to use this ability to handle official business.
Mei's body is weak, so let's use Gift of Abundance to transform her into a celestial being.
Mei, unable to manage her time, used her [Moment] time to create a Miraculous Item.
Mei is overwhelmed with work...
Alas, Chen Li happens to possess the ability to use Miraculous Item to sign friendship contracts and summon friend projections.
As I always say, if there's plum blossom, choose plum blossom!
No plum blossoms? We'll create plum blossoms, and we'll choose plum blossoms!
"Aren't we being a little too cruel to Mei by doing this?" Chen Li stroked his chin.
"Then you'll manage the Moth Chasing Flame?" Vill-V glanced at Chen Li.
"Okay, let's go with Mei!" Chen Li said decisively.
Why bother managing the Moth Chasing Flame? Managing Moth Chasing Flame will only slow down my Crystal -earning speed!
"Wow, Chen Li, you've been waiting by my bedside for me to wake up? I'm so touched!" Elysia clasped her hands together, her eyes reflecting Chen Li's image.
"Uh-huh."
Chen Li did not mention that Elysia's projection had even ridden on Chen Li neck to meet the Herrscher of the End.
"You must want me to see you the moment I open my eyes, right?"
"Uh-huh."
"I'm sure you also want to forge a Miraculous Item for me."
"Hmm. Hmm?" Chen Li, who was engrossed in eating the pink Crystals that had automatically shattered and covered Elysia 'Elysia sheets after she woke up, paused for a moment and slowly raised his head.
What did you say?
"Don't spit it out." Before Chen Li could make a move, Elysia reached out and covered Chen Li's mouth.
"Mmm..." Chen Li finally swallowed the Crystal.
"You want me to create Miraculous Item for you? Don't you already have Miraculous Item?" Chen Li asked, taking a pink Crystal that was close to Elysia's thigh.
"..." Seeing Chen Li's bold move, and thinking that Chen Li would eat the Crystal, Elysia's face couldn't help but turn red.
For Elysia, this way of playing was still too ahead of its time.
"What's wrong? Don't worry, I'll pay attention to food safety. I'll wash Crystals like these that are close to my skin before eating them," Chen Li said, noticing Elysia staring intently at the Crystal in her hand.
"That's not the point! Never mind. Anyway, I feel like this Beauty power is somewhat compatible with my power, but not quite." Elysia decisively chose to change the subject.
"I won't ask you why you think that way... What kind of Miraculous Item do you want to create?" Chen Li did not directly reject Elysia's suggestion.
If Elysia's Forging Commission can generate more revenue than the Crystals Chen Li spends, Chen Li wouldn't mind forging another Miraculous Item.
Elysia's situation is different from that of the Great Herta. The Great Herta asked Chen Li to create a Miraculous Item that could conjure up clothes that would make a specific target's heart flutter, which was clearly aimed at Chen Li...
Moreover, this cannot create Miracles at all.
A blacksmith who only knows how to "create" Miraculous Forging.
"Here. This is all the power I could extract related to the Envoy of Beauty. The entries should be quite impressive, right? It's yours." Elysia clutched her chest, and a pink ball of light slowly emerged, landing in Elysia 'Elysia hand before being sent to Chen Li.
Elysia originally needed to sleep for a week to fully digest all the power, but after only two days, she felt that continuing to acquire the power of Beauty would go against her path, so Elysia broke free from the ice.
However, Elysia does not deny that this is related to her projection witnessing the Finality and then bringing the Remembrance back to her.
Origin and Finality...
For Elysia, a born Herrscher of the Human and Herrscher of Origin, the shock of witnessing the Finality was even greater than Elysia had originally imagined.
Perhaps what I lack needs to be made up for from the Finality, rather than Path of Beauty.
Beauty is enough.
"Dispose of it arbitrarily?"
"You can do whatever you want with it... but you can only eat one bite, just a tiny bite!"
"Aha... I wasn't planning on eating it, but since you've allowed it, Elysia, I won't be polite." Chen Li took the ball of light and took a bite.
