Congratulations!

And they were very cooperative, even speechless with joy upon hearing the news!

"Huh? Oh. Never mind then." Chen Li shut his mouth.

Chen Li almost forgot that he was also a despicable outsider.

Speaking of which, no wonder there was a payment in my Starstones income recently that was for "improving people's livelihood".

Chen Li was not interested in the wealth of the Honkai world.

What's that saying again: Whoever has money, I'll rob them!

Instead of trying to Honkai world, why not just rob the Interastral Peace Corporation!

"Or should we cut spending on improving people's livelihoods? The recent equipment wear and tear has been quite significant... Building the Poké Ball line and related industries is quite expensive. Once things get back on track after this period, there shouldn't be any problems," Vill-V asked.

There's even an expense item for Honkai beasts Zoo... It sounds outrageous, but it's really necessary.

"That's really unnecessary... Let's make it tough on Welt. Isn't he the Herrscher of Reason? Let him make more of what he needs; it's no different from the real thing anyway. Tell Welt later... there will be plenty of Senzu Beans," Chen Li said.

Let Welt suffer, I'll bear the blame!

"Alright. But manpower is still a big problem... because people's fear of Honkai beasts will definitely not dissipate so quickly! In addition, there aren't enough people with three Stigmata at this stage, so there are indeed some jobs that we can't find people for." Vill-V sighed.

If you don't collect all three Stigmata and spend every day in close proximity to Honkai beasts... you'll die!

"So which problem do we need to solve first?" Elysia asked, pointing to the three requests.

"What if you were to decide?"

"Kill Kyubey first! Saving the lovely girls is of utmost urgency!" Elysia said in a purely personal tone.

"Because of their racial characteristics, the Kyubeys can never be completely killed, but... I have a plan!"

And this Kyubey... might be used to forge Miraculous Items!

"By the way, Vill-V, you mentioned earlier that you're a bit short-handed, right?"

"Yeah, what's wrong?"

"I have a plan too!"

Moreover, just thinking about Chen Li, the big boss of Puella Magi Madoka Magica, makes him want to eat something.

The taste of Walpurgisnacht... should be quite good, right?

Yes, it must be really good! And there's Kyubey too!

Chapter 263 Chen Li's Negotiator for the "Kyubey" Special Attack - Homura Akemi! (10,000 words)

[Exist!]

Chen Li didn't know which Kyubey had the communication panel after posting a commission, or whether all Kyubey had this panel.

But the other party did answer the question very quickly.

It was so fast that Chen Li couldn't even sense how quickly the other party was processing the information.

Perhaps it's because Kyubey has many processors.

When the video call was connected, what appeared in front of everyone was an adorable creature.

Judging from his appearance alone, no one would guess that he was a ruthless pyramid scheme leader!

It seems even Kyubey knows that people are often less wary of cute things.

Even Kyubey knows this, but some game developers who are completely out of their minds don't.

They draw some incredibly ugly, overweight female protagonists and still expect players to buy their content?

"Presumably, you already know about the Miraculous Forger, right?" Chen Li sat in the seat of the former Archbishop inside the Destiny Headquarters.

This is to create momentum.

Elysia and Pardo were standing next to Chen Li's seat.

This is also for the purpose of creating momentum.

It was definitely not because Chen Li wanted to take advantage of their labor.

"I already know." Kyubey appeared very obedient at this moment.

If, for humans on Earth in the Magical Girl world, the alien Taikun Kyubey (the incubator) who raised humans and secretly promoted the development of human civilization is a superior being, then compared to Kyubey who did not leave the world, Chen Li comes from outside the world, is an even more superior being.

Of course, the Incubator Civilization invented the technology to transform the emotions of intelligent life forms into usable energy, where emotions are absent or considered a rare mental illness, can still utilize them.

For example, right now.

"Mister Miraculous Forger, may I ask...?"

"Call me Master of Miraculous Forger? Seriously, what bad luck! I randomly searched for a commission and ended up with this kind of rural civilization that doesn't even know the proper etiquette for Miraculous Forger."

"If a rural civilization wants to seek the blessings of Miraculous Item, it should be prepared to accept the consequences, you bastard!"

"Don't assume that just because two parties can make a phone call, they are in the same position."

"You'll still make money even without the Miraculous Forger."

"You may not want Miraculous Item, but plenty of other people do."

"Fix your attitude, you piece of trash."

Chen Li's face was full of disgust, and his words were full of contempt.

But the Kyubeys didn't show any expression, because the Kyubeys had no feelings and at the same time took it for granted.

The strong must ruthlessly humiliate the weak!

A noble person from another world should treat the natives of this world with this attitude.

Just like what Kyubey did for life on Earth.

While the technology that can turn hope into despair and thus obtain magical energy with an energy conversion efficiency η>100% is certainly impressive, the Miracle Power, which Nihility and arises from nothing, is even more heavyweight!

"Yes, Miraculous Forger." Kyubey nodded.

"Although he's not very smart, his attitude is alright. Tell me, what kind of Miraculous Item do you want? And what kind of reward can you offer?" Chen Li leaned back on the throne, gesturing for his My Beloved Consort to feed him.

As agreed beforehand, Elysia peeled a grape and fed it to Chen Li.

But Elysia felt that Chen Li's actions were completely ineffective in intimidating Kyubey and were purely due to laziness.

"We want the technology that allows you to transform Miracles into the Miracle Power."

"..." Chen Li laughed in anger.

This time it's not an act, it's for real.

No, buddy.

I've seen people ask for exorbitant prices before, but I've never seen anyone ask for such an outrageous price as you.

Normally, Miracle Commission wouldn't include the information that creating Miracles can be converted into Miracle Power. This information was added by Chen Li on the spot, and because it was true, Kyubey accepted it without question.

Chen Li's original intention was to let Kyubey, this stinky outsider, see even more awesome technology, to show off his status and position comparable to the Celestial Dragons, and to gain the upper hand in subsequent negotiations.

But Kyubey delivered a brutal blow to Chen Li.

Chen Li had never seen such a shameless person in his life.

What? Kyubey isn't human? Oh well, that's alright then.

Chen Li didn't even hesitate for half a second before cutting off the video call.

"How dare he ask me for this kind of technology... I don't even know how this technology is done," Chen Li complained.

Chen Li didn't know if Kyubey was speaking without thinking, lacked manners, or was testing her limits...

But have you ever considered what you would do if Earthlings asked you for the technology that allows you to gain magic when hope turns into despair?

"However, Kyubey gave me an idea; it seems I can share the method for obtaining Starstones." Chen Li stood up directly from the archbishop's seat.

The most important aspect of the profession of Miraculous Forger is logical inspiration.

"How do we share it? Craft another Miraculous Item? Wouldn't it be a waste to do this if we can't obtain the Crystal?" Vill-V advised, thinking of Chen Li's best interests.

"The members of the Miraculous Item group are not children, so we don't need to take care of them like nannies, including me."

"Use ours to your heart's content."

"Hmm?" Everyone looked at Pardo.

"Uh... that's how it's written in shonen manga, they say that when the atmosphere is right." Pardo blinked innocently.

"There's no need to create new Miraculous Item, just continue to strengthen your Friends Circle ... However, I need an attribute with high visibility like [Share], [Distribute], or [Resonance]. But since it's for strengthening you, you'll have to find that attribute yourself. Of course, you can also forge a Miraculous Item separately; in any case, you shouldn't lose money," Chen Li said.

Chen Li had long wanted to upgrade his Friends Circle, because Friends Circle already had the potential to become Two-star Artifact.

If an additional Miraculous Item is forged, Crystals will naturally be generated immediately once the Miraculous Item forged and it is capable of creating Miracles.

Furthermore, by strengthening the old Miraculous Item, once the Miraculous Item have created a certain number of Miracles, an additional Miracle Card will be generated for Chen Li, along with a corresponding Miracle Crystal.

The advantage of this method is that it comes with a free Miracle Card, but the disadvantage is that it may take a long time to complete.

In short, as long as you can create more Miracles, you will definitely reap the benefits of Crystals.

Chen Li is still waiting for the Revival Match to work its Miraculous Item and give him a Miracle Card!

However, perhaps because the drop rate of Resurrection Cards is too low, nothing significant has been accomplished in the Revival Match so far.

Very few people have been resurrected by the Miracle Card so far – some couldn't collect enough Resurrection Card fragments, while others had collected enough Resurrection Cards but wanted to save up more to avoid disappointment.

Nguyen Mai is a typical example of someone who wanted to collect as many Resurrection Cards as possible.

In short... the future looks promising.

Yes, the future looks promising.

"I'll recommend the Miracle Card to Pom-Pom later, and we'll definitely be able to get a big event right away!" Chen Li was very confident about this.

The resurrection of the Trailblaze Aeon... is indeed a big deal.

"Beep beep!"

Kyubey sent a communication request.

Then Chen Li cut it off.

"Distribution, sharing, resonance... Chen Li, do you want everyone to possess the Miraculous Item that allows them to obtain Starstones by disrupting the [plot]?" Vill-V seemed to have an idea.

"Pretty much. Theoretically speaking, I am equivalent to a One-star Artifact. Crafting a One-star Artifact for everyone would solve the problem of insufficient Starstones, but that's obviously not feasible. However, sharing would be fine, just like how Satou Kazuma shared the effects of his Stupidity Halo with his group members."

"Are there any requirements?" Vill-V asked next.

"Have."

Chen Li casually disconnected the communication request sent by Kyubey.

"First and foremost, this Miraculous Item cannot affect my profits."

Chen Li can do without Starstones, but he cannot live without them.

"Yes, I understand."

"Secondly, more than half of the Starstones that the group members collect must be used to draw Starsea Trove, because I need rare affixes. If the other party needs the valuable items that are drawn, and I also need the affixes on the items, then they should be given priority to me. However, this usually doesn't happen."

"Yes, that makes sense. Everyone can understand that." Vill-V continued to nod.

Chen Li distributed the Starstones so that the group members could help him draw them.

Chen Li was craving the newbie perks offered by the group members, while the group members were craving the treasures in the Starsea Trove.

Both sides benefited from the agreement.

"I'm starting to have an idea... The Herrscher Core of the Thousand Herrschers meets your requirements, Kyubey seems to meet your requirements as well... Perhaps we can combine the two. Like this, like this, and like this..." Vill-V whispered in Chen Li's ear.

"Wow! Vill-V, you're a genius!" Chen Li's eyes lit up.

"Of course!"

"But isn't what we're doing a bit too harsh on Kyubey?" Even Chen Li, who understands Kyubey well, could tell whether it was too harsh on Kyubey...

It's easy to imagine just how... ingenious the plan that Vill-V came up with was.
