Qingque: Buddy, you got absolutely demolished!

By using the Source Text, over a hundred million people each sent 50 Credits to Screwllum, an act that earned Chen Li 800 Starstones. (Bookshelf)

To be honest, this number was so large that Chen Li found it a bit hard to accept.

Playing a prank can earn you 800 Starstones, while honestly clearing out 80% of the monsters on Earth where Miko is located won't earn you much more than this prank.

Joining the Genius Society also brought Chen Li a considerable amount of Starstones —1000 Starstones.

At the same time, I spent 40 Crystal to obtain a One-star Artifact.

Chen Li couldn't even imagine if what happened today could have been any more perfect.

Come to think of it, what exactly have I forgotten?

"Chen~Li~" The voice, as if emanating from the deepest hell, echoed in Chen Li's ears.

Chen Li followed the sound and saw Qingque looking dazed.

"Qingque, Qingque, what's wrong with you? Qingque, don't die!" Chen Li immediately stepped forward and picked up Qingque with one arm.

"Feed me peanuts, feed me peanuts~~"

"Huh, peanuts? I didn't bring any." Chen Li was taken aback.

"What are you two doing?" Fu Xuan saw Qingque, who was completely burned to ashes, as soon as he entered the Tai Bu Division's library, and then saw Chen Li holding Qingque, seemingly very worried. (Bookshelf)

"Great Augur, you must speak up for me! Chen Li said he was going to buy me two oranges and left the library. I waited from noon until afternoon and he still didn't come back with oranges. The only lunch he brought me was a bowl of instant noodles and two forks, without even a seasoning packet!" Qingque, who originally just wanted to play a prank on Chen Li, immediately decided to shift all the blame onto Chen Li after seeing Fu Xuan appear.

Chen Li finally remembered what she had forgotten.

"Huh?" Fu Xuan was completely baffled by the current situation.

"Qingque, you're slacking off again, aren't you? And you're even corrupting the newbies." Although Fu Xuan didn't know what had happened, he quickly made a judgment based on his experience.

Seeing Qingque trying to shirk responsibility for slacking off, and Fu Xuan standing with his hands on his hips, completely ignoring Qingque's explanation, Chen Li decided... to toss the dice in his hand.

It's time to throw in some numbers to solve our current predicament!

The reason for using it now is that even if the current situation gets worse, it can't get much worse. At most, Fu Xuan will deduct a day's wages from Chen Li and Qingque.

But it's not a big problem, because Chen Li doesn't get paid as an intern. (Bookshelf)

In contrast, Chen Li was more curious about how this die could resolve the current predicament in an absurd or Elation way.

The sound of the dice hitting the ground echoed in Chen Li's ears. Chen Li watched as the 20-sided die landed on the ground, displaying the current number.

[13]

Yay! Good luck!

Next, we'll see just how absurd the proposed solutions to the current predicament are.

"Great Augur, I really didn't slack off. Look, there are no fish in the library!" Qingque said innocently, blinking her eyes.

"Thud!" A book with a golden koi fish printed on its cover, hidden in a gap between bookshelves inside the library, suddenly bounced out of the shelf.

The sound attracted the attention of Chen Li and Fu Xuan.

Then, the group watched as the book, bouncing and leaping, transformed into a golden carp over half a meter long. (Bookshelf)

"Huh? What is this...?" Qingque stared at the thing with a blank expression.

"The book has come to life?" Even the learned Fu Xuan was puzzled by this.

"No matter what, let's catch it first and prevent it from causing trouble in the library." After saying that, Fu Xuan took the lead and grabbed at the golden carp.

"Snap!" However, just before Fu Xuan could catch the golden carp, the golden carp's body sprang up from the ground and swung its tail at Fu Xuan in mid-air.

Fu Xuan was sent flying and landed in Chen Li's arms, where he immediately fainted.

"... No, dude, is this reasonable?" Chen Li was dumbfounded.

"Touching fish, touching fish," is this the fish you're touching?

And you actually managed to knock Fu Xuan unconscious with a single fishtail strike?

I thought the Chimei Dragon Lord was invincible, but whose general is this fish? How can it be so fierce? (Bookshelf)

Chapter 87 Qingque: My friend, we've lost miserably!

"... Great Augur, are you sure this thing isn't just a figment of your imagination?"

"I remember reading about this in ancient books. The library of the Tai Bu Division has a long history, and there is indeed a slight possibility that such a spirit born in response to the flow of literature could be created. And if nothing unexpected happens, this golden carp has the potential to transform into a dragon. Its power can even stun a giant beast with a single blow."

"..." Chen Li still couldn't believe that the fish that suddenly appeared in the library actually had a corresponding record.

Hmm... but that's not necessarily true. It could be the work of Fictional Historian.

I am Fictional Historian, this is the construction of history. jpg

But Chen Li had at least witnessed the power of this Joy Dice.

Even if there's no solution, he can conjure one up for you and then solve your problem.

It's unclear who was injured, but the user is certainly unharmed. (Bookshelf)

"Alright, I have something to discuss with the general. You two continue eating. Remember to go back and guard the library when you're done." Fu Xuan hurriedly got up, said this to Chen Li and the other man, and then left.

In the pot in front of Chen Li and his companion were dozens of plump fish slices.

"I remember the diviner said that if you eat Literary Fortune Carp, you will enter a state of literary luck. At this time, you will be exceptionally successful in taking civil service exams or recruitment exams... It seems that our Great Augur's desire to become a general is still not dead." Qingque shrugged.

That's right, Chen Li and the others stewed the fish.

It was surprisingly delicious.

Moreover, Chen Li felt that he had gained a boost after eating the golden carp, which was no less than the boost he gained from eating the Second Herrscher's Companion Honkai Beast.

This Joy Dice is really something.

The prerequisite is that you have enough Joy Points, or you are really lucky.

"Speaking of which, if Qingque were given a chance to defy fate..." (bookshelf)

"Not interested." Qingque interrupted Chen Li before he could finish speaking.

"Okay, that suits your personality. Now, let's put it another way. What If I gave you the chance to become the Supreme Master of Imperial Jade Pillar of Shame ..." Chen Li was halfway through his sentence when he saw Qingque looking at him expectantly, so he continued.

"Would you like to take a gamble?" Chen Li took out the Joy Dice.

"If I roll this die, will it really make me the Supreme Master of Imperial Jade Pillar of Shame?"

"I'm just saying, What If."

"If I win the bet, I will become an unparalleled master. But what if I lose the bet?"

"You'll be punched to your knees and taken back to be a slave."

"Uh, let's forget about it." Qingque felt uneasy as soon as she heard about the punishment.

That sounds terrifying.

"I believe that as long as I am willing to work hard, I can become the Supreme Master of Imperial Jade Pillar of Shame on my own," Qingque convinced herself.

"I thought you would slam your fist on the table and shout, 'This is a huge gamble,' and then gladly accept it."

"You don't understand. As long as I'm alive, that's enough. I have a stable job and plenty of time to slack off, what more could I ask for? As long as I spend more time playing cards, my card skills will improve sooner or later." Qingque waved her hand.

Just kidding, do you think I, Qingque, am really the kind of guy who would shout "This is a high-stakes gamble" and then recklessly charge in?

"Since you are so good at controlling yourself, I'll lend you this Miraculous Item for a while. Remember, when you encounter trouble, you can roll this die. What If the number is less than or equal to 10, you will be even more unlucky. But What If the number is greater than 10, you can solve the problem, although the process may be a bit absurd." Chen Li temporarily lent the right to use the die to Qingque.

"Like when the Great Augur was suddenly slapped on the tail by a fish?"

"Yes."

"Okay, I'll use it then. Sigh, I have an idea. What If I use this Miraculous Item while playing cards?" Qingque suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

"You can give it a try. Anyway, Great Augur is currently looking for General Jing Yuan, so he won't be coming to arrest you anytime soon. I'll keep an eye on things in the library for you." (Bookshelf)

"Okay, thank you." Qingque excitedly took the die and ran out of the library.

Friends, this is a huge gamble!

After finishing the golden carp that had been used to Joy Dice, Chen Li chose to run away.

Someone should be able to clean up the dishes and utensils... right?

Novice Task (Part 5)

Forge 15 Miraculous Item (18/15)

Forge 1 One-star Artifact (2/1)

Completed 10 Miracle Check-in (7/10) Bookshelf

Job level increased to lv4 (3/4)

Reputation increased to level 3 (2/3)

"Sigh, where do I get so many Miracle to check off? I'm stuck on the task again." Chen Li sighed, lying in the same spot as Qingque Que, who was slacking off.

Chen Li would rather forge three One-star Artifacts in the Novice Task than complete this Miracle Check-in- in.

Forging One-star Artifact simply requires filling it with enough Miracle Crystal, but there are many more things to consider when Miracle Check-in.

"In the end, I still have to go to other worlds to see if there's anything worthwhile." Chen Li fiddled with the Karma Coin in his hand, checking the Miracle Commission he currently had.

Helping Vita betray So would have a high chance of getting a Miracle Card, but the unlucky kid who commissioned the quest still hasn't returned to town.

How long are you going to sleep? Until the finale?

Giving Hatsune Miku green onion doesn't seem to have a high chance of creating Miracle.

Matou Zouken's mission remains unresolved; who knows if he's managed to cultivate any insects with the Metamorphosis attribute. Chen Li is very interested in the Holy Grail that world, even though it's been corrupted by the Black Mud. If Chen Li can purify the Black Mud, he might be able to obtain a Miracle Card.

Chen Li has no clue about the Headless Knight's head yet.

"Aria ... Although it seems like there's no Miracle that can be achieved in a short time in the world of Akame ga Kill!!, the Imperial Arms and Dangerous Species in this world seem to suit me very well." Chen Li stroked his chin.

In a world of blood and blades, Imperial Arms, possessing magical abilities, naturally hold a prominent position. The above description, refined by time and fate, shines even brighter.

Dangerous Species are one of the materials used to forge Imperial Arms, and different Dangerous Species possess different abilities. You can think of Dangerous Species as a type of magical beast, and they're rumored to be quite delicious, making them perfect for Chen Li, who has acquired Gourmet Cells.

"I've chosen you!"

Although Chen Li could also target the Herrscher of the Honkai Impact 3rd world, as the saying goes, you should pick the softest persimmon to squeeze.

Compared to Herrscher, Dangerous Species Imperial Arms users are easier to handle.

[Are you there?] Chen Li used this word as his starting gesture as always.

However, Chen Li deliberately cut out a lot of the information about the Miraculous Forger that he sent to Aria.

Next, wait for the other party to receive the information, then trick them into going to their world, punch them to their knees, and then give them a big surprise with the Miraculous Item they want.

"Creak!" While Chen Li waited, Qingque dejectedly pushed open the library door, then walked listlessly to Chen Li's side. Seeing that Chen Li had taken his seat, she dejectedly walked to a corner nearby, hugged her knees, and slowly squatted down. (Bookshelves)

"Qingque, what's wrong with you? Didn't you take the Joy Dice to play cards?"

"Friend, we lost miserably," Qingque said with a mournful face.

"What happened?"

"I figured I could use this Miraculous Item when I encountered trouble or crisis, so I used Miraculous Item after I found that I couldn't win."

"Oh, how was the result?"

"The first time I threw 13 points, I ended up with a straight flush!" Even though he's in a bad mood now, Qingque still gets excited when he talks about it.

"Then what?"

"Then I threw out a 1 for the second time."

"Wow, a very niche points system. What's the result?"

"I actually got three kills in one shot, and all three of them are unparalleled heroes? This is outrageous! I can't accept it!" Qingque slammed her fist on the table in anger.

Is this reasonable? No, it's not!

"You didn't ask me for help, and you were able to walk back unharmed, which means the problem shouldn't be too big, right?" Chen Li hesitated before speaking.

"Oh, after the three of them took all the Xun Di from my hand, they didn't pursue the matter further, since we're all good friends. But they demanded that I allow them to upload the video of this card game to a video website. Just like that, although I didn't lose any more money, I was permanently nailed to the pillar of shame at Imperial Jade Pillar of Shame." Qingque was on the verge of tears.
