Chapter 264
"... Sparkle, how come you're so bad?" Chen Li gasped when he saw Sparkle, who was practically drooling in front of him.
Sparkle had become so bad that it terrified Chen Li.
You mean you were arrested as soon as the arrest warrant was issued?
Surrendering to the capital wouldn't happen so quickly, would it?
In Honor of Kings, you can't surrender until the game is 6 minutes in!
"Sparkle, you're practically tarnishing the Masked Fool!" Chen Li lamented her misfortune and was furious at her lack of ambition.
"I @#￥%&" The whole person was spread out in a Sparkle shape, and the only thing left on the ground was the strength to speak.
"Tsk tsk tsk, Sparkle, your little mouth is as sweet as honey." Chen Li poked Sparkle's cheek.
Although the disruptive effect has caused Sparkle's language system to become chaotic, making it impossible for ordinary people to understand her language, Chen Li could tell that Sparkle was swearing very rudely.
After being captured by Pardo and with the help of the enthusiastic Cloud Knight Army, Sparkle was successfully taken to the General's Mansion a warrant had just been issued. When she saw Chen Li, the guy who had shifted the blame onto her, openly staying in the General's Mansion, she was so angry that she almost fainted. Then she chose to give up resisting.
Sparkle's body was once "disrupted" by a Miraculous Item from the Great Herta, causing her to lose coordination. However, this disruptive effect was even more severe than that banana Miraculous Item effect.
Because subversion is illogical.
They might end up kissing while arguing.
Experienced Sparkle knows that giving up thinking is the best way to break the deadlock at this moment.
"Boss, boss. Is there a reward?" Pardo had successfully captured Sparkle, had eyes that turned into the shape of gold coins.
"Uh..." Chen Li turned to look at Jing Yuan.
Chen Li originally tried to shift the blame onto Sparkle to avoid responsibility, because Chen Li didn't think Sparkle would be caught by a concerned citizen without the high-end combat power of the Luofu Xianzhou appearing. But unfortunately, Sparkle didn't perform well.
Or perhaps Sparkle was just unlucky enough to run into a few people who could catch her.
Even so, being caught by Pardo was the greatest humiliation of Sparkle's life.
"That's possible." Jing Yuan nodded with a smile.
Although Jing Yuan felt that the scene before him resembled Chen Li and Pardo's scheme to defraud insurance, for the sake of the credibility of the Luofu Xianzhou, since someone had caught them red-handed, the reward still had to be given.
"What reward?" Pardo asked impatiently.
"Please let Miss Pardo and General Xianzhou Luofu discuss this further."
"Hmm, aren't you General Xianzhou Luofu?"
"The current general is Fu Xuan."
"Huh?" Fu Xuan, who was handling official business, suddenly looked up.
Fu Xuan now has the feeling that Chen Li, Pardo, and Jing Yuan are conspiring to commit insurance fraud.
I originally thought that Jing Yuan, you agreed so quickly because you already had a plan and had a solution in mind. I didn't expect that your solution would be for me to come up with a solution?
That's despicable, Jing Yuan!
"Fu Qing, this is the responsibility that General Xianzhou Luofu should shoulder. From the moment you became general, the responsibility of the Six Charioteers and three clans of the Xianzhou Luofu rests on your shoulders! If Fu Qing cannot even handle the current situation, then you should return the power of general to me as soon as possible."
"You're dreaming! It's just a reward... I'll go see which department still has a budget." Fu Xuan perked up and looked at the pile of financial statements that made his eyes start to hurt.
"..." Chen Li glanced at Jing Yuan.
Aren't you bullying an honest person?
"Boss, boss, I've discovered another problem," Pardo said, raising her hand.
"What's the problem?"
"While its Subversion ability are formidable, it still requires a lot of skill to execute."
"Huh? You don't mean to ask if there's an even simpler and more direct method, do you?" Chen Li was taken aback.
No, does subversion require skillful execution?
"No, I'm quite satisfied with this ability. But the problem is that when I use this ability in a completely unfamiliar environment, I first need to let everyone know that I am weak in order to maximize the effect of this ability. So is there anything good that can make me appear weak?" Pardo asked.
The Subversion ability can be used and take effect at any time, but if you want to bring this ability to its limit, you still need to instill in the surrounding witnesses the concept that "Pardo's ability to Overhead Toss is an incredible and illogical thing".
Pardo inherited the talent skill of the [Subversion] monster, but because of her life form, she cannot use the mimicry skill.
Therefore, Pardo reveals Sparkle's identity and declares that she is weak before throwing Sparkle over his Overhead Toss.
Even without witnesses, Pardo can still Overhead Toss, but the disruptive effect will be weakened.
"Yes, friend, yes. Here you go." Chen Li took out a makeup box.
"What's this? It looks very valuable." Pardo Heart Wings took the box.
"Transformation Freedom Gaia Foundation. Allows the user to transform into anything at will. Not very useful in direct combat, but great for assassination and reconnaissance. With this Imperial Arms, you can transform into a real kitten at any time to give your opponent Overhead Toss."
This Imperial Arms was also obtained by Chen Li from the world of Akame ga Kill!! It is said that Najenda only paid a large sum of money to buy this Imperial Arms from its user.
As for whether Pardo can use this Imperial Arms?
Although Imperial Arms choose their masters, if this Imperial Arms is not respectable, then Chen Li will make it respectable!
"Really? That's great! Boss, you can really do anything!"
"Don't be too happy yet. This thing is just a temporary loan for you. Pardo, after you embark on the Mysterious Path, don't always think about using its power to fabricate stories. You can also collect people's impressions of the weak and then concentrate those traits on yourself to create an identity of absolute weakness," Chen Li reminded her.
"I see! That's right, it's fake!" Pardo's eyes lit up.
"If you want to learn this skill as soon as possible, I can recommend a teacher to you."
"What teacher? Boss, you have amazing connections!"
"Yes." Chen Li pointed to the Sparkle.
"Uh..." Seeing Hanabi, who was still too afraid to speak loudly after being thrown over her Overhead Toss for fear of Sparkle, Pardo had a bad feeling.
"Alright, just kidding. But you can definitely stay by Sparkle's side and gather people's impressions of weakness. Sparkle is quite good at getting the short end of the stick. Sparkle is almost recovered, let's go ask her what she thinks." Chen Li led Pardo to where Sparkle was lying.
"I finally fell in love, but you made me lose so completely! Do you know how long it's been since I introduced myself by my real name to anyone? How could I have believed you like that?!" Sparkle had recovered, saw Pardo walk up to her and her fingers were trembling with anger.
"Come on, Sparkle. If you knew that the person you just shook hands with was a wanted criminal from the Xianzhou, and that there would be a reward for catching him, you would turn on him even faster than Pardo." Chen Li rolled his eyes at Sparkle.
Moreover, Chen Li knew perfectly well that Sparkle's initiative in approaching Pardo was definitely not for any good reason.
"But I won't act that quickly!" Sparkle retorted.
"I don't believe you, but why did you act so quickly, Pardo?" Chen Li was also very curious about this question.
"Aha... because Sparkle isn't in the Miraculous Item group. I figured everyone who knows the boss but isn't in the Miraculous Item group is his enemy." Pardo laughed awkwardly.
Because handing over the Friends Circle Terminal to people you're connected with can increase Friendship and Bonds, and improve the basic defense of your Friends Circle, Chen Li sends a Friends Circle Terminal to almost everyone he meets and then invites them into the Miraculous Item Group.
Therefore, it goes without saying what kind of people know Chen Li but are not in the group of Miraculous Item.
"A group of Miraculous Item? What are those?"
"A group chat formed by protagonists from stories in different worlds. In the Miraculous Item Group, there's Yaoshi who's lived for eight hundred million years, a supreme god from another world, Genius Society member, Deliverance who transcends two civilizations, an immortal evil god... Oh, right, speaking of which, Pardo, you can go find the Little Evil God and collect people's impressions of it, especially the influence of Lily Bell on the Little Evil God." Chen Li turned to Pardo and said.
Strength and weakness are relative.
Whether Little Evil God is strong or not is another matter, but for Garden Lily Bell, he is really both bad and loves to play.
"I'll try my best," Pardo nodded.
"I'd like to apply to join that group of Miraculous Item!" Sparkle said immediately.
"I refuse to let you join that group of Miraculous Item," Chen Li replied quickly.
"Why? Give me a reason."
"My reasons for refusing you are the same as my reasons for wanting to Miraculous Item Ones."
"Emmm..." Sparkle fell into thought.
No way, this group sounds so fun, how can it be complete without me, Sparkle?
I need to find a way to Miraculous Item Group!
"Your name is Pardo, right?" Sparkle turned to look at Pardo.
"That's right."
"Sister, I can see that you're only acting out of concern because you're so close to Chen Li. Chen Li and I are also very close, like brothers who would die for each other, so I've decided to forgive you. Besides, I can help you gather information about how people perceive the weak..."
"After careful consideration, I still feel that our abilities are a perfect match. Let's form a team for life! How about we call it 'Flower'?" Sparkle waited expectantly for Pardo's answer.
Sparkle felt that Pardo was a good entry point into the group of Miraculous Item.
Even if we take a step back and assume that Sparkle didn't join the Miraculous Item Group, but Pardo did, and Sparkle can communicate with the people in the Miraculous Item through Pardo, then it's equivalent to Sparkle joining the Miraculous Item Group!
"Huh?" Seeing Sparkle's unusual enthusiasm, Pardo was a little at a loss.
"Say yes to her. You two are indeed a good match as a duo. But Sparkle, you have to promise me that after Pardo joins your duo, you can't just think about Elation every day. You also have to take responsibility for Pardo's life!" Chen Li said.
"No problem," Sparkle agreed immediately.
Although Chen Li's conditions were very harsh, Sparkle didn't intend to keep her promise, so she agreed quickly.
As everyone knows, I, Sparkle, don't keep my promises!
"Alright then." Although Pardo didn't know what had happened, Pardo trusted that Chen Li wouldn't betray her.
"In that case... deal." Chen Li slowly opened his hand, and a gold coin radiating golden light appeared in Chen Li palm.
"Forced Transaction Coins?! Chen Li, you've tricked me again!" Upon seeing the gold coins, Sparkle was so shocked that her twin ponytails stood up straight.
"Just Approval of Noble Morality. So guilty, it's obvious you don't intend to keep your promise." Chen Li rolled his eyes at Sparkle, flicked the Karma Coins in his hand, and then tossed them into his mouth.
"Aha... How could that be? I'm absolutely sincere! I will definitely consider Pardo my sister! We'll be best friends for life!"
"Real?"
"Real."
"Alright, the deal is done." Chen Li then opened his other hand, revealing a gold coin radiating golden light in his palm.
"!!!"
"Look how scared you are... It's obvious you're not going to keep your promise again." Chen Li once again uttered Approval of Noble Morality.
"Chen Li! I'll fight you to the death!"
My name is Sparkle. I never expected that, even though I was tricked by Chen Li twice, I would still decide to form a lifelong best friend group with this cat girl who Overhead Toss the moment we met!
Because I really couldn't refuse Chen Li's offer...
"Can she really give the God of Fun an Overhead Toss that makes God of Fun drool as he walks? Let me make it clear first, I'm not drooling for the sake of seeing the great, respected, and omnipotent God of Fun, but rather to let him experience the kind of pleasure I once felt when I was forcibly controlled by Negative Artifact for 30 minutes." Sparkle started stacking her armor.
"Theoretically speaking, it is possible. Kevin once said that each of the Thirteen Arbiter-Generals Flame-Chasers the potential to defeat the Aeon."
"That Kevin... he's someone important!"
Chapter 253 Aha: I want to be with Tet for life [just kidding]! (9k "Tet, repeat what you just said." Chen Li stared at the "Game God" in the world of "Game Life".
"W-What's wrong? Is there a problem?"
"This is a huge problem!"
"I was bored, so I went to the Xianzhou to play. I thought that since I was on the Xianzhou, I should do as the locals do, so I turned my body into that of an ordinary person... but I almost starved to death on the Xianzhou."
"... In this place, Xianzhou, if you ask people on the roadside for money, no one might give you any. But if you are starving, you can get a meal from any Cloud Knight Army you find on the roadside."
"That's what I was thinking too, so I'll find a place to eat first..."
"That's called dining and dashing! Never mind. Go on."
It's two different things: a restaurant giving you a free meal when you don't have money to pay the bill, and you telling the restaurant you don't have money to pay after you've finished eating!
However, strictly speaking, Tet is still a baby less than a month old... Although this child is both a supreme god and has extremely high intelligence, he may lack some common sense.
It's only human nature.
"I originally used the Star Cup to conjure a piece of gold, and I wanted to pay with the gold, but the shopkeeper wouldn't allow it."
While the use of the Star Cup in this world is subject to many limitations, preventing it from achieving omniscience and omnipotence that could influence the world, it can still achieve limited omniscience and omnipotence. For example, conjuring up a piece of gold.
