Chen Li: Thanks for Nature's Bounty!

It's even more outrageous than the mixed pool in Genshin Impact.

The key issue is that there's no guarantee of a minimum return.

Friends, this is a huge gamble!

I lost the bet, I lost terribly!

However, Chen Li can use Starstones to exchange for things he wants with others, let them participate in lotteries, and then use Starstones to recycle the good things they win.

Just like gambling, you might win, but the house never loses.

Draw cards yourself?

Let's wait until a limited-time banner comes out before making a decision.

"Anchor point... The Cocoon of Eternity can generate suitable Herrschers to restrain a civilization based on its current state, which is indeed amazing. But what if I anchor the order in which the Cocoon of the Finality generates Herrschers in the next civilization, and then come to beat you Previous Civilization? What will the Cocoon of Eternity do then? Heh heh!"

"Ugh, your smile is disgusting." Tonghua moved to the side in disgust.

"You can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want. How could someone as handsome as me smile in a disgusting way?"

"Does being handsome mean you can't have a disgusting smile?"

"Then let me ask you..."

"Next time, I must forge a Miraculous Item that can store energy," Chen Li said, lying in bed tucked in, waiting to be lulled to sleep by the Robin.

Chen Li said this because although Chen Li had forged a Miraculous Item before going to sleep, Chen Li felt that he still had about 80% of his energy left.

Chen Li can usually fully replenish his energy after a good night's sleep.

Sleeping now is equivalent to wasting 80% of your energy.

"Hmm, Chen Li, what you said sounds familiar." The Robin was sitting by Chen Li's bedside in holographic projection mode, tilted his head.

Although the Robin was missing for half a day should have caused quite a stir, since the Robin is a public figure.

But clearly, the appearance of the Aeon of Intellect caused a bigger stir.

So, paparazzi stopped paying attention to Robins.

"It must be your imagination, because the last time I said this, I was saying that I must forge a Miraculous Item that can slap someone through the internet cable."

Why forge such a Miraculous Item?

"Hey Robin, haven't you ever thought about slapping those Black Chess Pieces and their online trolls across the face through the internet?"

Chen Li, who subconsciously asked a question, suddenly felt a layer of Intellect Value stacked on his body.

Oh no, this makes me even more awake. I really want to learn something.

Let's wait for the Robin to lull us to sleep.

Robin, I can't live without you.

"This..." The Robin hesitated, clearly Robin it had considered this possibility.

"Hitting people is wrong." Robin could only offer this rebuttal.

"Think about it differently. Since he attacked you, he's definitely not a good person. So, hitting him isn't assault; it's a trial," Chen Li said.

"That seems... to make sense."

"Besides, if you don't use this Miraculous Item and give it to your brother, he'll be even harsher on those Black Chess Pieces. So by using it, you're actually saving those Black Chess Pieces," Chen Li continued, adding fuel to the fire.

"Well... it's a deal." The Robin finally couldn't resist the temptation.

But Robin couldn't do anything about it.

Who could blame Chen Li for speaking so sincerely?

Oh no, it's the feeling of falling in love.

Chapter 76 Chen Li: Thank you for the gifts of nature!

Chen Li woke up to find the sky had fallen.

No, the ceiling collapsed.

"No, what's going on?" Chen Li stared incredulously at the empty ceiling.

There was a large hole directly above Chen Li, who was lying on the bed. Through this hole, Chen Li could see the starry sky.

Chen Li was also awakened by the sound of the explosion.

"Oh, you're awake?" Houraisan Kaguya poked her head out from above the large hole and greeted Chen Li warmly.

"What happened?" Chen Li asked, looking completely bewildered.

Then Chen Li instantly regained consciousness.

This triggered the "Let me ask you" message.

Because the question is of little value, the effect is weak, but it can be refreshing.

It works much better than coffee.

"I don't know. A shooting star just flew down from the sky and smashed through your house. I live upstairs from you, and I lost my lower body. Although my body has recovered, my clothes haven't fully recovered yet. I don't think you'd want to see them, so I won't show them to you," Houraisan Kaguya said.

"Oh, so that's why you're only showing your upper body now?"

"Yeah. So you're alright?"

"I'm alright, thankfully thanks to my Friends Circle..."

Chen Li increasingly felt that his Friends Circle was indeed useful, because Chen Li couldn't always maintain a clear head to face a crisis and activate his Miracle Barrier in time, and Chen Li didn't possess rebirth abilities like Houraisan Kaguya...

Then Chen Li would have to waste a blank Miracle Card to be reborn.

Thinking about it this way, I might also need a rebirth-type Miraculous Item.

"Kid, don't underestimate the Bond between us." Houraisan Kaguya gave a thumbs up.

She was nearly killed by a meteor just now, but she can still laugh. She truly lives up to her reputation as Houraisan Kaguya.

They treat death like food.

"Uh..." Chen Li felt that Houraisan Kaguya said made sense.

Because the Friends Circle is a defense formed by the Bonds between Chen Li and these friends.

"There was just a small mishap." Houraisan Kaguya cracked her knuckles.

"What little accident?"

"Yakumo Yukari is dead."

"Ah?"

"I mean she lost her eligibility and was kicked out of the Friends Circle. Right now she's making a scene in the group using Eirin's spare phone."

"What the hell? That meteor broke through the defenses of Friends Circle? Let me see what's going on?" Only then did Chen Li realize the seriousness of the situation.

Being hit by a meteor is unlikely for Chen Li, a troublesome person, but it's not impossible. Chen Li was once struck by three bolts of lightning while walking on the street, but luckily Chen Li survived unscathed.

However, Chen Li has never actually experienced a lethal meteor attack.

After Chen Li got out of bed, he found a stone on the wall of his room that was still steaming.

It must have been bounced away after hitting Chen Li and triggering the Friends Circle.

If it weren't for the Friends Circle mitigating the damage from this attack, Chen Li and the houses within a radius of several kilometers might have been instantly wiped out.

"Send this friend request to Yakumo Yukari." Chen Li tossed a phone to Houraisan Kaguya was clinging to the edge of the large hole.

"Okay." After taking the phone, Houraisan Kaguya ignored the ever-shrinking hole and quickly started a group of people.

After Houraisan Kaguya moved into Chen Li's house, she marked the house with her Power of Eternity, just like an animal marking its territory.

No matter what damage the house suffers, it will be restored to its original state in a short time.

Houraisan Kaguya, isn't that amazing?

"What is that?" Chen Li got out of bed and walked to the meteorite, which was the size of a human head.

Chen Li's Friends Circle's normal defense range is three meters in diameter, so Chen Li's bed remained intact.

Out of curiosity, Chen Li touched it.

The next moment, Chen Li was dazzled by the words on the meteorite.

Embryo, Hunt, Devour, Evolution, Metamorphosis, Destruction

Countless terms came rushing in, especially the terms "evolution" and "transformation," which were dazzling.

"So... this thing is an embryo?" Chen Li understood after reading the entry.

Chen Li instantly understood why his Constraint Bracelet hadn't sent the thing flying elsewhere, allowing him to avoid the disaster—because it wasn't a disaster at all.

Isn't this a gift from heaven?

Did the world have a change of heart and throw some weird things at itself as a form of nourishment?

Hmph, even if you make it up to me now, I won't forgive you easily.

However, out of caution, Chen Li shook his head and did not explore further. Instead, he threw out two Starstones Starstones, which landed on the ground and transformed into two Summoning Circles.

It appears as if he's shaking his head, but he's actually shaking someone else's head.

"My dear son, what happened?" Chen Li's dear mother asked with a serious expression as soon as she appeared.

"Oh, this thing just fell from the sky and hit me in the face. The words on it are very eye-catching, so it must be something extraordinary. But I don't recognize it, so I'd like to ask you to identify it," Chen Li said.

"You'll have to ask your mom about this," Chen Shi said slowly after examining the object carefully for a long time.

"..." Chen Li, who was having his face pinched by his mother, suddenly felt dizzy.

Why did you spend so long looking at it if you don't know why?

"Let me see, let me see... Oh, so it is... Holy crap, how can it be this?" Li Changxi stopped torturing her son and looked at the meteorite.

But before he could finish speaking, his face turned horrified.

"What's wrong?" Chen Li knew that his mother, as a folklorist, knew a lot about other worlds, so the problem must be serious for her to show this kind of expression.

"This is the Devourer, a terrifying monster said to be capable of Destruction a world."

"It sounds dangerous." Chen Li stroked his chin, but he wasn't flustered at all.

"Yes. This thing started as an embryo, just like it is now. Its outer shell is extremely hard, even Divine Weapons cannot damage it in the slightest. After it is born into a certain world, it will slowly absorb the free energy of that world, and then use this to nurture a life form that restrains the energy of that world while still in its embryonic state. After hatching, it can instantly skip the infancy stage by devouring the outer shell, enter the growth stage, and then begin to hunt everything in this world until it devours the world completely, grows into its complete form, and returns to the starry sky." Li Changxi said with a serious expression.

For example, in a world full of dragons, a Devourer can develop a dragon-specific attack and eventually grow into its complete form.

Li Changxi knew this so clearly because Li Changxi had killed a Devourer.

But that wasn't because Li Changxi was too strong or the Devourer was too weak. Rather, it was because the unfortunate Devourer developed a system that was extremely effective against the other world, and was then thrown into the Secret Realm by the powerful beings of that world.

Then he met Li Changxi.

What does your control over the dragon race have to do with my human race?

"I see... that's interesting." Chen Li's voice trailed off.

"What do we do now?" Chen Shi and Li Changxi exchanged a glance, then looked at Chen Li at the same time.

"Of course... I'll use it to forge Miraculous Item. I need one to strengthen myself." Chen Li kicked the meteorite and threw it into the Miraculous Forging Platform, which was burning with the Miracle Fire.

So Divine Weapons can't harm you in the slightest, right?

The Miracle Fire instantly ignited the entire meteorite, and faint Source Text began to slowly detach from the embryo.

An embryo, right?

An embryo means it can't resist, right?

As time passed, countless Source Texts rose and fell in the Miracle Fire.

The embryo, known as the Devourer, also completely lost its vitality.

Although Chen Li didn't have a very high opinion of this world that made him toil, starve, and deplete himself, he also had absolutely no interest in Destruction it.

Besides, it's better to get 30% of what the other party devours after making a contract with them than to have 100% of it all to yourself.
