Miraculous Forger

"As a Miracle System that has failed to this point, I will leave you, Master, with three final pieces of advice." The Pixie raised three fingers.

By then, everything below the Pixie's knees had already vanished.

"Are you giving your last words already? Aren't you going to try saving yourself?" Chen Li asked anxiously, realizing he had been duped.

If he had known the truth, Chen Li would never have agreed to take on something like the Last Light of Miracles.

"First, cast aside useless kindness. Kindness cannot save anything, just as you are helpless right now. But I hope you remain good, because goodness is the foundation of miracles," the Pixie said.

"At a time like this, you still have the mood to mock me?"

"Second, teach a man to fish rather than give him a fish. Never give others whatever they desire without restraint. That will only turn them into lowly parasites. Be careful not to end up like me, with nothing left but my life to gamble for a chance, reduced to such a wretched and pathetic state," the Pixie continued.

Chen Li instantly forgave the Pixie, because she was ruthless enough to mock even herself.

"Third, guarding against scams is truly important. The Miracle System was too pure and kind, so it was deceived out of so much Miracle Power, even causing countless disasters. If given the choice between fooling others completely and being fooled completely, which would you choose?" The Pixie admired the anxiety and frustration on Chen Luo's face, a faint smile curling at her lips.

It seemed that "Miracle" had awakened some rather incredible fetish before disappearing.

"Can't you get to the point? Like whether you can still be saved, and what I'm supposed to do next?" Chen Li had a headache as he looked at the Pixie, who only had her head left.

"You are still so naive. Then let me give you one final piece of advice—miracles are never free. To create a new miracle, an old miracle must naturally be sacrificed. Such as myself," the Pixie said calmly.

Buzz!

Perhaps the word "miracle" had triggered some keyword. The book that had been resting on the forging platform suddenly flew up, its pages opening. With a snap, it shut over the Pixie's final phantom like a bookmark, then quietly floated before Chen Li.

Only then did Chen Li clearly see the book's title.

—"Miraculous Forging Guide"

The first thing Chen Li did after reaching for and picking up the Miraculous Forger's Guide was shake it hard.

At that final moment, the book had suddenly reacted. Chen Li did not believe it had been a mere coincidence.

Yet no matter how hard he shook it, Chen Li could not find any trace of "Miracle."

Though still somewhat unwilling to give up, Chen Li could only set it aside for now.

His top priority was naturally to thoroughly understand this Miraculous Forging Guide. It would be the foundation of his future.

When he opened the book to its first page, Chen Li saw a familiar personal profile.

"More functions unlock at Level 10? That sounds kind of familiar... Let's give it a try. It's only Level 10." Thinking of the Pixie's first appearance, Chen Li had a rough idea of what to expect.

What Chen Li wanted most right now was to bring the Pixie back out, slap this book against her face, then ruthlessly enslave and exploit her! Make her help him level up!

If you made something yourself, you had to take responsibility for it to the end!

As for the utterly absurd title section, Chen Li decisively ignored it and did not activate it.

"A new class... Miraculous Forger." Chen Li was very satisfied with this class.

Because the Traveler class was finally gone!

The Miraculous Forger class was the product of combining the Miracle System with the blacksmithing sub-class.

Its primary function was exactly what Chen Li had done just now: stack different items together, use Miracle Power to reintegrate them, and forge miraculous objects!

Rather than a Miraculous Forger, it would be more accurate to call it a Miracle Forger.

Chen Li liked forging, and Chen Li liked miracles!

This was simply a perfect combination!

However, after Chen Li gained a rough understanding of the first page and turned to the second... he realized he had celebrated too soon!

"Damn transmigration is still chasing me!"

Although the Miraculous Forging Guide no longer had the Transmigrator profession, Chen Li's Transmigrator talent had not disappeared. It had even been strengthened. For example, the Serendipitous Encounter function on the second page was related to "Transmigrator."

Miracles themselves were the most desirable and indispensable forging material for a Miraculous Forger.

And when Chen Li lacked miracles, he could trigger a Serendipitous Encounter and be brought to a world where he could harvest vast amounts of miracles and forging materials.

In other words, a legendary "freebie run."

Bad news (good news): Serendipitous Encounters cost money.

Good news (bad news): The first time was free.

Because he had created the miracle of forging the Miracle System into the Miraculous Forging Guide, Chen Li could see many buffs in the guide. The first free Serendipitous Encounter was one of them.

"Wait, don't I happen to be short on Miracle Power right now?" After freezing for a moment, Chen Li hurriedly looked toward the mirror in the living room.

And in the mirror, Chen Li saw a countdown appear above his head.

This was the sign that a Serendipitous Encounter was about to begin.

00:30

"I have thirty minutes to prepare?"

00:29

"Fuck! It's thirty seconds!"

The first thing Chen Li did was stuff the silver box he had gotten from the shield warrior into his pocket. Then, grabbing the Knight's Broken Sword, he ran toward the storage room beside the living room.

There was no time to go to the basement. He did not have enough time to lift the seal.

Before the countdown reached zero, Chen Li opened the storage room and grabbed the oversized Travel Pack he had prepared long ago.

The countdown reached zero, and Chen Li vanished instantly along with the oversized Travel Pack he was touching.

"Whew, that scared the hell out of me. I almost thought this Miraculous Forging Guide wanted to send me to my death too." In a space filled with strange flowing light, Chen Luo floated in midair and looked at the Miraculous Forging Guide in his hand.

From the guide's description, Chen Li learned that he was currently undergoing the transformation and purification of Miracle Power.

Although rookie Chen Li had originally possessed no Miracle Power at all, after triggering his first Serendipitous Encounter, he had successfully obtained a Miracle Card—Transmigration.

This Miracle Card had no actual effect. It merely served as proof that he had triggered a miracle and acquired Miracle Power.

That was why it met the Miracle Power requirement needed to construct this purification space.

After gaining a rough understanding of it, Chen Li was reassured about his current situation.

This was because Serendipitous Encounters had their own safety measures—when Chen Li suffered a fatal injury, he could sacrifice a Miracle Card to return to the time and place before the Serendipitous Encounter was triggered, while restoring his current state.

And the first time a Serendipitous Encounter was triggered, he would definitely receive a blank Miracle Card.

This effect could also take effect when Chen Li was not in a Serendipitous Encounter World.

Because it was his first transmigration, there was quite a lot that Miracle Power needed to transform and purify. For instance, it had to ensure that the bacteria and viruses Chen Li carried would not devastate the destination world after his arrival. So, during this time, Chen Li gained a rough understanding of the Miraculous Forging Guide and his current condition.

Chen Li now had two types of currency. One was Miracle Power, and the other was the Power of Space-Time and Fate. The latter was power that came from Chen Li himself.

Because the two currencies closely resembled two currencies from a game Chen Li had played before, he named the former Crystals and the latter Starstones for convenience.

For Chen Li, as a Miraculous Forger, the two currencies complemented each other.

For example, ten Miracle Crystals plus one hundred Starstones could create a blank Miracle Card. Triggering a Serendipitous Encounter cost the same.

At that moment, Chen Li suddenly understood how Miracle Cards could serve as Resurrection Cards.

Miracle Crystals triggered miracles, while Starstones reversed space-time.

It made perfect sense!

Likewise, if he wanted to return from a Serendipitous Encounter World voluntarily, he only needed to spend ten Starstones and wait three seconds.

Besides that, there was the Backpack for storing miscellaneous items and forging materials, the Omniscient Archive for storing miraculous items, the Starsea Trove that could be drawn from with Starstones, the Forging Table for forging miraculous items, and the Synthesis Table for crafting ordinary items that had already been successfully made.

There was also the Travel Chronicle, which recorded the "moments of remembrance" after completing a miracle and could use them for miraculous item forging; the permanent passive ability Basic Language, which ensured that Chen Li could communicate normally with creatures from other worlds...

Purification complete. Deployment commencing!

Time: Honkai Era: Previous Civilization, on the eve of Moth Chasing Flame newcomer Elysia's campaign against the Herrscher of the Void.

Location: Near the Herrscher of the Void.

Please prepare for battle.

"Huh? I'm fighting the Herrscher of the Void? Seriously?" Chen Li froze as he looked at the prompt on the Miraculous Forging Guide.

Herrscher of the Void, Elysia, and the Miracle Card

Within the ruins of some place in the Honkai world that had endured the baptism of Honkai, a beautiful pink-haired girl stood atop a shattered high-rise building. With a longbow in hand, she watched the girl floating in the distance, who looked down imperiously at the Honkai beasts under her command.

"The Herrscher of the Void...?"

In this world known as "Honkai," Honkai existed as the world's underlying backdrop, born alongside civilization.

To hinder the continued development of these civilizations, beings with human appearances yet beyond all reason were born from the Honkai—"Herrschers."

Every Honkai outbreak was inevitably accompanied by the deaths of countless living beings, and every major Honkai outbreak would give rise to a Herrscher, each with different abilities.

Herrschers possessed the authority bestowed by the Honkai, and every one of them was immensely powerful.

Moth Chasing Flame was the anti-Honkai organization established by the United Nations of the current civilization era to save civilization from the crisis of destruction.

After dealing with the First Herrscher, who had merely shown up to make up the numbers, the emergence of the Second Herrscher brought enormous trouble to Moth Chasing Flame.

Against this backdrop, the newcomer Elysia, who had joined Moth Chasing Flame due to her extremely high Honkai energy resistance and outstanding combat record, stepped forward and was about to save the dire situation as a savior!

"Mm-hm, this is practically the perfect female protagonist backstory!" Elysia nodded in satisfaction, then thoughtfully put away the Moth Chasing Flame Medal No. 1 hanging from her chest.

She had spent no small amount of effort and energy before finally tricking... no, obtaining this medal that commended her achievements and great deeds from a green-haired beauty!

Recalling that renowned Doctor, Elysia smiled and turned her gaze toward the Herrscher of the Void in the distance.

"Now it's time to finish this mission beautifully!" Elysia raised the bow in her hand. A crystal arrow containing mysterious power appeared out of thin air, aimed at the Herrscher of the Void in the distance.

The Herrscher of the Void, who had been dissatisfied that the Knight-Class Honkai Beast under her command was less than sixty meters tall, keenly sensed a threat.

Looking up, she met the eyes of the young girl Elysia, who stood atop an abandoned high-rise building.

A trace of disdainful amusement appeared on the Herrscher of the Void's face.

"More humans who enjoy throwing their lives away? Fine, I'll play with her for a while. I happen to be bored right now." The Herrscher of the Void crossed her arms, her face full of arrogance.
