Chapter 248
"Hmph, don't I know you?" Elysia rolled her eyes at Chen Li.
"Uh-huh."
"In exchange, you must take me with you when you edit the Cocoon of Eternity for the second time. I need to feel the power of the Finality... Don't spit it out." Elysia covered Chen Li's mouth again.
"Are you worried that entering the Cocoon of Eternity will cause me irreversible damage? Thank you for your concern, but I think I'm fine." Elysia patted Chen Li's head.
After racking her brains, Elysia could only come up with this reason; otherwise, she couldn't explain why Chen Li didn't want her to enter the Cocoon of Eternity with him.
It couldn't possibly be because of shyness, could it?
"And if all else fails, you can summon my projection." Elysia had a sudden inspiration.
The fact that the "experience" gained from the clone projection is fed back to the main body can be confirmed by the fact that the power of the Envoy of Beauty was brought to Elysia through the projection.
"Ahem, whatever makes you happy." Chen Li hesitated for a moment, then could only nod helplessly.
"Do you have any ideas on what kind of Miraculous Item you Emanator to create with this power?" Elysia asked.
"You need to provide at least one idea so I can assess the returns and decide how much Crystal to invest in crafting this Miraculous Item."
"In that case... let's create a public Miraculous Item, as a benefit for the members of the Miraculous Item group. I have enough Miraculous Item." Elysia said, tugging at the black stockings on her legs.
Because this Attack Speed Gear has an automatic cleaning function, and is soft, comfortable, delicate, and very beautiful, Elysia wore it even before falling asleep.
"Hmm... a public Miraculous Item, then the harvest of Crystals must be quite substantial." Chen Li nodded.
The amount of Crystals obtained from forging a rare Miraculous Item depends on how many Miracles that Miraculous Item can create in the hands of its user.
Therefore, the number of Miracles created by Miraculous Item that can be used by multiple people should be quite large, and the rewards will naturally be substantial.
This was the first time Chen Li had received a commission to create a public-type Miraculous Item.
"If possible, it would be even better if more beautiful girls could use it," Elysia added.
"..." Chen Li pointed at Elysia.
"You really have nothing but pretty girls on your mind!"
"Hey!"
"But it's not impossible... however, I need to take a small portion of Beauty's power as payment."
"No problem." Elysia did not refuse.
After obtaining Elysia's permission, Chen Li summoned the projection of the Judgment of All Things and cut off a small piece from the sphere of light.
This is not ordinary Beauty power, but the power of Envoy of Beauty.
This perfectly matches the conditions of the request made by the Little Herta to Chen Li: to gather the power of all Path and concentrate it on himself, so that he can transform from the Little Herta into a small "Honkai: Star Rail world".
Path of Beauty, now in hand.
But how to secure Path of Propagation remains a question.
Chen Li glanced at the rewards and risks of Elysia's commission.
Reward: 50-70 Crystals
Risk: Low to Medium
Considering that this is a complete Emanator powers, even if Elysia has digested a portion of it, and Chen Li has taken a bite and cut off a small piece, there is still more than 50% left. This kind of benefit seems reasonable.
"Wait for me for 20 minutes. You two chat for a while." After handing over the task of chatting with Elysia to Vill-V, Chen Li went to the living room to create the Miraculous Item.
As long as no one complains about the noise of the blacksmith's hammer, you can forge Miraculous Item anywhere.
The entry for "Beauty" is very eye-catching, but entries for "Miraculous Item" are not advisable.
Moreover, when Elysia mentioned public Miraculous Item, Chen Li thought of his other two Miraculous Item, which could also be upgraded a little.
"Here's the Miraculous Item you requested. Please give me a good review, thank you." Chen Li handed a beautiful flower crown to Elysia.
"What are the effects of this Miraculous Item? It actually took you an hour to forge it?" Vill-V was very surprised.
"I not only spent an hour crafting this Miraculous Item, but I also enhanced two beginner Miraculous Items: the Karma Balance and the Forced Transaction Coins," Chen Li explained.
Because these two Miraculous Item are also suitable as public Miraculous Item.
The latter goes without saying; after enhancement, it can also increase the upper limit of the Forced Transaction Coin constraint. Now, the upper limit of this Miraculous Item can definitely reach the Aeon... Chen Li was referring to the extremely unfair forced nature of the transaction.
The former enhancement increases the output of Approval of Noble Morality and appropriately relaxes the restrictions on behaviors that produce Approval of Noble Morality. Now, even "white lies" can obtain Approval of Noble Morality.
"This Miraculous Item is called... [The Beautiful Girl's Privilege]. When the user conforms to people's perception of a beautiful girl, they can do certain things that are impossible and related to the concept of a beautiful girl. For example, if you believe that being able to understand cats is Beautiful Girl's Privilege, then you can understand cats. Remember, the important thing is that you really believe that, and that you are actually somewhat related to a beautiful girl."
"What if I thought that the beautiful girl was strong enough to lift up the entire Mu Continent?" Vill-V asked.
"... Probably not, because you wouldn't really think that way, and this matter has nothing to do with pretty girls," Chen Li said after hesitating for a long time.
"With strength to uproot mountains and an aura that covers the world," is this really used to describe a beautiful girl?
"What if I think that beautiful girls are omnipotent?" Elysia asked.
"That's fine. Because you really do feel that way, and people often associate beautiful girls with being very powerful. But there are limits to this kind of omnipotence." Chen Li nodded.
"But if I can use the Beautiful Girl's Privilege to make myself omnipotent, then why can't I lift up the Mu Continent?" Vill-V countered.
"...Save those words for [Beautiful Girl's Privilege]." Chen Li took off Vill-V's hat and then placed the flower wreath on Vill-V's head.
You can use the Beautiful Girl's Privilege to make yourself invincible and lift up the Mu Continent, but you can't use the Beautiful Girl's Privilege to lift up the Mu Continent!
"Come on, conjure up some flowers from this hat," Chen Li said in an unyielding tone.
"But I wasn't prepared..."
"The magical girl can conjure flowers out of her hat at will. Give it a try, how do you know it won't work if you don't try?"
Encouraged and urged by Chen Li, Vill-V reached for her hat.
Then... she took out a flower.
"This Miraculous Item is very interesting. If the combination of a beautiful girl and a magician can make me conjure flowers and things that correspond to the magician's behavior anywhere, then will the combination of a beautiful girl and Valkyrie make the Valkyrie invincible? Will the beautiful Magical Girl be countered by the tentacle monster..." Vill-V couldn't help but start to let her thoughts wander.
"Your idea is dangerous," Chen Li flicked Vill-V's forehead.
Why do Magical Girls have to be countered by tentacle monsters?
Where did you get this stereotype from?
"I think the beautiful girl Herrscher of Origin can change into pretty clothes whenever she wants!" Elysia took the flower wreath from Vill-V's head and put it on her own, then snapped her fingers lightly.
Elysia's body began to glow, Elysia clothes disappeared, leaving only her [Attack Speed Gear].
And then a beautiful outfit appeared next to it.
In a sense, Elysia succeeded.
But... it failed.
"..."
"..."
"Ah!!"
"I'll go and modify this Miraculous Item again." After snatching the Miraculous Item back from Elysia's head, Chen Li ran out.
As it turns out, the thoughts of beautiful young girls can sometimes be dangerous and uncontrollable.
If one indulges in wild thoughts while possessing this Miraculous Item, the consequences could become very unpredictable.
"Alright, this time there's definitely no problem. This time I've added a risk warning function and a smart selection function." Chen Li handed the flower wreath to Elysia, who was wearing a pink dress and looked angry.
Elysia's clothes disappeared, and she is now wearing the clothes that appeared earlier.
"Just like just now Elysia, your Flipping the car wasn't because the Miraculous Item was bad, but because your thinking was wrong. You should think: a beautiful girl can freely transform her clothes into other pretty clothes... Okay, never mind."
"I'll try again. And I'll repeat what I just said. If it still doesn't work this time... dear Li, you'll need to take responsibility for your product and for me," Elysia said with a smile.
"I guarantee there won't be any unexpected problems."
"I think the beautiful girl Herrscher of Origin can change into pretty clothes whenever she wants!" Elysia said again.
After a pause, Elysia's entire body began to glow, and then her pink dress transformed back into Elysia's original attire.
"Alright, no problem. This time, a risk warning and different options appeared quickly when I used it. I chose to change back into my original clothes instead of changing into a different outfit, and it worked." Elysia breathed a sigh of relief.
To be honest, Elysia was also on edge just now.
They fear a repeat of the classic scenario.
"Let's forget about what just happened," Elysia, looking at Chen Li.
"To be honest, I can't forget a thing." Chen Li blinked innocently.
"...Then consider it payment for the forging." Elysia said irritably.
Elysia was also bothered by the sudden disappearance of her clothes, but considering that Chen Li hadn't received any payment and had sacrificed so much to fight the Honkai, she let it go this time.
"This is the most unusual forging reward I've ever received..."
"Beautiful girls can tell if someone is lying... So Chen Li, answer me, what are you thinking right now?" Elysia suddenly asked Chen Li.
"The Lady. Elysia's beauty is unparalleled!" Chen Li replied immediately!
"Hmm... you passed." Elysia regarded the special intuition bestowed upon her by the Miraculous Item as a consolation prize.
Elysia knew that the effects of using Miraculous Item on Chen Li were extremely poor, but Elysia decided to take the lie detector results as fact for the time being.
After all, even beautiful girls can deceive themselves.
"This Miraculous Item costs 35 Crystals. Although it doesn't have an exceptionally outstanding effect, it's versatile... Come on, let's see how many rewards we can get by placing this Miraculous Item in the public Miraculous Item section of the Miraculous Item group." Chen Li said after taking the wreath from Elysia.
Friends, this is a high-stakes gamble.
Although the standard of "beautiful girl" is actually very strict, there are indeed not many men in the group, so this Miraculous Item is still quite versatile.
[Ding! You have gained 78 Crystals this time!]
"A resounding victory!" Chen Li cheered, then placed the Karma Balance and Forced Transaction Coins in the public Miraculous Item list.
There are now four Miraculous Item in the public Miraculous Item display (the other one is Mom's Tablecloth).
Everyone received a notification that a new Miraculous Item had been added to the public Miraculous Item inventory and learned the conditions for using it.
[Mom's Tablecloth] costs one Starstones. If you don't have one, you can pay for it later. Everyone is used to this.
"The requirement for using the Beautiful Girl's Privilege is... each time it's used, you need to pay Elysia one [Sticking Coupon]. I like this reward." Elysia was quite happy after seeing this reward.
Although Elysia doesn't need sticker tickets to stick with any cute girls, then again, who wouldn't want to collect sticker tickets from cute girls?
"The Karma Balance require... that the [Approval of Noble Morality] gained through doing good deeds be split 50/50 with you, Chen Li?" Vill-V couldn't help but look at Chen Li.
"I can't do good deeds all the time, but there are always people doing good deeds. So why not rent out the unused Karma Balance? When I need to use them, I can just summon the projection of the Karma Balance myself, right?" Chen Li said.
The Miraculous Item projection can only be used by Chen Li, and its consumption is not high.
Therefore, for Chen Li, the optimal solution is to send out those Miraculous Items that are not frequently used to generate revenue.
What do you do when you're idle at home? Offer your own "Approval of Noble Morality"?
"Forced Transaction Coin... Each use costs one Starstones, and you can owe it if you don't have any. Isn't this condition too lenient?" Elysia asked.
"I believe everyone will make good use of the Forced Transaction Coins ... If they don't know what it means to make good use of them, I will take responsibility for teaching them." Chen Li clenched his fist.
"That's alright then. It's good that you know what's going on." Elysia was relieved.
"Furthermore, I will also receive Starstones for using the Miraculous Item I lend out to have an impact on the world. So theoretically, the more public Miraculous Item the better."
"I see... Then I'll mention it in the group chat, encouraging everyone to put any unused Miraculous Item they have into the public Miraculous Item section. This will help other group members and also earn you some income." After saying that, Elysia started sending out messages.
Upon seeing the message, the first person to upload their Miraculous Item to the public list of Miraculous Items was... Kikyo.
Because Kikyo had almost wiped out all the monsters in the entire Warring States Period with her Peaceful Longbow, the Warring States Period truly became "peaceful," and then... the Peaceful Longbow was left unused.
The Peaceful Longbow requires one Starstones to use each time, and can be used on credit.
Kikyo had originally sent a private message to Chen Li wanting to share half of the Starstones with Chen Li, but Chen Li said there was no need for that, as he didn't need those Starstones.
It's more important to let group members obtain Starstones, because they can use Starstones to create even more Starstones.
And then... nobody played Miraculous Items anymore.
Because truly versatile and extraordinary Miraculous Item are always few and far between.
