Chen Li: Lord Taibu, It's Cold-Why Not Throw on a Yellow Robe! (11k, continued)

Now you can pet the cat.

"Aha... Is that how it is?" Pardo scratched her head.

"Chen Li, could you switch your adoption target? For example, could you get a different cat?"

"I don't know. If we want to experiment, we'll have to abandon our current cats first." Sirin and Chen Li's gazes fell on Pardo.

"Hmm? No way, boss. Since you adopted me, you have to be responsible for me."

Pardo isn't stupid; what does "raising" even mean?

Eat, drink, and sleep for free, and you don't even have to do any work!

Although Pardo doesn't consider herself a cat, then again... getting something for free is always better than having to work.

"Forget it, we don't have any other cats anyway, let's keep them for now," Chen Li said after thinking for a moment.

"Speaking of which, I also heard the sound of the house being pierced today, so what was that Heaven's Lost Property today?" Little Herta was even more interested in this matter.

Little Herta didn't care at all whether Chen Li's house had a cat or not. Anyway, there was already a fox, so it didn't matter if there were a few more strange things.

Or perhaps the guests at Chen Li's house were all very strange to begin with.

Herrscher, Herta figurine, Heroic Spirit, Houraijin, someone else's mother... and Chen Li, the strangest Miraculous Forger.

"I don't know if it's a coincidence, or because the request I made to the world yesterday was fulfilled... Today's Heaven's Lost Property is a spider." Chen Li said as he took the spider out of his pocket and placed it on the dining table.

Yes, it was taken out of his pocket.

"!!!"

Everyone was taken aback by Chen Li's overly simplistic and brutal behavior.

Pardo, in particular, reacted immediately, jumping to the side and breathing on the spider while arching her back.

"Calm down. This thing is just a model," Chen Li reassured everyone, especially Pardo.

"Model?"

"Or rather... this Heaven's Lost Property seems to only work in dreams," Chen Li said.

The attributes associated with this Heaven's Lost Property are: Nightmare, Weaving, Confusion, Spirit, Extension...

However, because there was no one to assist him, Chen Li was unable to accurately determine the abilities of this Heaven's Lost Property.

"If all goes well, it can be used as a fusion material for Vill-V. But just to be on the safe side, I'll go to the Great Herta for identification later."

"The Great Herta can also appraise?" The Little Herta tilted its head.

How come Little Herta didn't know that Great Herta also had this skill?

"Mind your own business."

"Tch, what's so important to adults?" Little Herta made a face at Chen Li.

"..."

Chen Li didn't say those words out of impatience with the Little Herta; Chen Li was simply stating the truth.

Mind your own business.

"Speaking of which... Boss, how do I upgrade the [Mysterious Merchant] profession on this personal panel?" Pardo asked after showing Chen Li her personal panel.

Last night, Pardo heard Chen say that everyone who comes to this world can get a job panel, but it takes time to generate the panel.

When Pardo woke up, Pardo had obtained this panel.

"Mysterious Merchant? This profession... I've never heard of it. The professions that Vill-V, Mobius, and Elysia got when they came to this world were all quite simple and easy to understand. Why is yours so strange?" Chen Li looked at Pardo's personal panel with some doubt.

The Fraudster in Vill-V can level up by committing fraud.

Mobius's Demon Scientist can level up by conducting experiments and surgeries; the more experiments and surgeries he performs that go beyond the norm, the more experience he gains.

Elysia's is simpler to understand: Valkyrie and Herrscher. She can level up through combat, training, defeating Honkai beasts, or even Destruction the world.

"Theoretically speaking, the Mysterious Merchant... should grant experience through buying and selling items, with more mysterious items yielding more experience. But this should be a side profession..."

Merchants do exist in Chen Li's world, but Pardo Flame-Chasers from another world.

"Side job? I have a side job too."

"What is it?" Chen Li asked, somewhat curious.

Is there any profession more logistical than that of a businessman?

"... mascot."

"I know you're a mascot, so what's your side job?"

"My secondary job is just being a mascot!" Pardo said somewhat resignedly.

"... Well, it actually fits the character quite well. Okay, don't be sad. Here, 50 Starstones, take it and try your luck with the draws." Chen Li glanced at the specific effects of the secondary profession shown by Pardo and then tossed Pardo 50 Starstones.

Generally speaking, secondary professions are logistics-related professions. They don't have direct combat capabilities, but they have various support abilities.

However, Pardo's secondary profession is quite simple and straightforward: increasing the level of the secondary profession will increase the luck value.

And that was it.

According to Chen Li's guess, there is only one way to upgrade this profession: to monetize one's luck, make oneself appear to be very lucky, and let everyone see it.

If that's the case, then it's simple.

Use Starstones to draw cards.

Whether you're lucky or not, just draw a card and you'll find out.

Feeling that she might never become a true warrior and could only serve as a logistical support, Pardo sighed and then crushed all the Starstones.

Seeing this, Chen Li, who was about to say that Pardo could crush the Starstones one by one, shut his mouth.

The last person to go all in was Yakumo Yukari, and her experience is still fresh in everyone's mind—she spent a full 500 Starstones and only got a resurrection item.

Even if this item has a very high potential, it is still just a resurrection item.

It's all over Friends Circle now.

When Pardo sighed and pulled out her reward from the Starsea Trove, Chen Li's eyes widened in surprise.

"Skill Scroll? What is that?" Pardo looked at the scroll in front of her with confusion, and then asked Chen Li.

"I don't know, I've never seen it before. But it must be very precious." Chen Li shook his head.

This was the first time Chen Li had ever seen Skill Scroll, and the first time Chen Li had ever known that Skill Scrolls could be found in the Starsea Trove.

"Quickly take a look at what kind of Skill Scroll this is!" Kitsune Saiguu asked with great interest.

Chen Li also gifted Kitsune Saiguu some Starstones as start-up capital, and they even tried to draw from the Starsea Trove, but Kitsune Saiguu wasn't lucky and didn't get anything good, only some random things...

"The newly acquired skill is... Jar Crafting? It allows you to create mysterious pottery jars or earthenware jars from clay. Placing items inside these jars or jars will prevent all detection methods. Note: Leave everything to fate." The moment Pardo unfurled the Skill Scroll, Pardo quickly learned this skill.

"???" by Chen Li.

Why does this description sound so familiar?

Pardo's newly acquired skills reminded Chen Li of some painful memories.

"Boss, do you think this skill can be combined with the Mysterious Merchant? What If the more mysterious the items the Mysterious Merchant sells, the more experience points you get, then if I put some daily necessities and some precious items in a pottery jar or earthenware pot, and then choose an average price to sell to other people, wouldn't I be able to get more experience points?" Pardo's eyes lit up.

"That makes sense," Chen Li couldn't help but nod.

"Then, boss, do you know any places where there are many people with detection skills?" Pardo then asked.

What do you want to do?

"I was thinking, if this Canned Food is sold to ordinary people, it might be no different from any other canned Canned Food. Only if it's sold to those with detection skills will they know how mysterious this Canned Food is... Canned Food, I wasn't calling you," Pardo said, touching the Canned Food that jumped out of her shadow.

"Pardo, you're a genius! I actually know of a place like this, but I'm afraid I'll get beaten to death..."

"Hey boss, the bold get rich, the timid starve. I'll take care of selling, you protect me while I sell. Who can beat you?" Pardo had great confidence in Chen Li's Miraculous Item.

Pardo thought that the person Chen Li mentioned who might be beaten to death was herself.

"No, especially me, I might get beaten to death." Chen Li shook his head.

"Um?"

"It's normal business for you to set up a stall in front of their door. It's different for me. If I go there, that's called home delivery." Chen Li continued to shake his head.

What place are you talking about?

"Beep beep." Before Chen Li could even speak, he received a new message on his Friends Circle.

Chen Li's eyes lit up when he saw this message.

"Okay, let's go! I'll take you there! No, first you make some jars, the more the better. This time we're going to go big!"

"Look! Take a look! Mystery jar, buy one get one free!"

Don't miss it!

"Want to test your divination skills? Want to get rich overnight? Then buy the Mystery Canned Food! 1000 Credits won't break the bank."

"Boss, would you like a jar?"

"Alright, Pardo, stop trying to sell her stuff. This is someone we know." Chen Li stopped Pardo, who was trying to sell her stuff, as she looked at Qingque standing in front of the stall.

"Oh, it's an acquaintance. Buy 3 get 1 free."

"... acquaintances from my Friends Circle," Chen Li quickly replied.

"Oh, then forget it." Pardo thought Chen Li meant for Pardo to rip off a lot of money.

There's a saying, isn't there? Strangers will cheat you half the time, while acquaintances will get you all the way.

Pardo thought the person in front of her was Chen Li's enemy.

But if it's from Friends Circle, then there's no problem.

"Chen Li, what's gotten into you? You..."

"I know what you're trying to say, Qingque. You're just saying that selling the Mysterious Jar in the Tai Bu Division, a place where everyone knows divination, could bankrupt you, right? Don't worry. I've tested this Mysterious Jar. Even a level nine divination skill can't detect what's inside. Only a level ten divination skill can tell you if you'll lose money if you buy it," Chen Li said.

Chen Li's divination skill has reached level 5... because Chen Li's Miraculous Forger level reached level 5 yesterday after he finished crafting the [Stigmata War Game], and all skills at level 5 and below can be improved very quickly.

If you temporarily allocate the unused Attribute Points to the divination skill, you can easily reach level 10.

No, what I mean is...

"Damn it, boss! Is there really something good in your jars?" The fortune teller next to Qingque interrupted Qingque's speech aggressively and asked Pardo.

"This customer can eat whatever he wants, but he can't say whatever he wants. Of course there are good things in my jars. Let me open one for you..." Pardo closed her eyes, randomly picked a jar from her stall, and then smashed it open.

The dazzling golden light instantly blinded everyone present.

"What's this?"

"A super luxurious limited edition Star Taro Boba Milk Tea co-branded gold brick! Made entirely of gold! Worth over a million Credits," Pardo proudly introduced.

This was after Pardo was brought to the Xianzhou by Chen Li. When they passed by the milk tea shop, Chen Li had just led her inside when suddenly a large group of people surrounded her, saying that Pardo was the 10,000th customer of the shop and this was a souvenir they gave her.

"You're putting 1 million Credits of stuff into a 1000- Credits container? Are you serious?"

"This is also part of Trailblaze."

After Pardo came into this world, she spent an hour browsing the Xianzhou, which was constantly replenishing its stock. The one watching her was Trailblaze.

"Trailblaze? Cloud Traveler Heavenly Lord? So you're the one Path of Trailblaze. That makes sense then." The diviner nodded, readily accepting this premise.

Nameless Guest Path of Trailblaze can do anything, and that's perfectly reasonable.

Upon closer reflection, those who dare to sell mysterious jars at the Tai Bu Division are either Masked Fool Path of Joy or Nameless Guest Path of Trailblaze; there is almost no third option.

"Aren't you sure you won't lose money doing this?" After seeing her colleague buy 10 mystery jars at once, Qingque had already forgotten what she was going to say.

"Losing money? That's impossible. Customers open the jars randomly, and I put the contents in myself. Do you think I don't know whether I'll lose money or not?" Pardo waved her hand and said. Because she knew that Qingque was one of her "insiders" in her Friends Circle, Pardo spoke much more casually.

Blind boxes work like this: they put unsold inventory into the boxes, then add things that everyone wants, like rare figurines, and then they can set a high price for the blind boxes.

Moreover, even if the buyer doesn't get what they want, they won't make a scene because they know that these items are not cheap to begin with.

They completely forgot that if it weren't for wanting those few rare figurines, they probably would never have bought this kind of junk in their entire lives.

"Oh, I see."

"Moreover, there is another advantage to setting up a stall at the Tai Bu Division. Since everyone in the Tai Bu Division is a diviner and knows how to perform divination, they won't cause trouble even if they don't get what they want, because they don't want people to know that they are not skilled enough," Chen Li said.
