Chen Li: The Local Nobles Have No Manners!

"Ah, this..." Chen Li didn't know how to comfort him for a moment.

"Here's the dice back. I'm never using it again," Qingque said resolutely after tossing the pink dice back to Chen Li.

"Are you sure you won't use it again? What If you consider being permanently nailed to the pillar of shame at the Imperial Jade Pillar of Shame a nuisance, then using this die might just be the only way to turn things around." Chen Li tossed the die in his hand, a slight smile creeping onto his lips.

Chen Li assured that the smile was due to the fact that the dice did indeed bring a sense of pleasure when rolled, and it was definitely not a smile caused by seeing Qingque's miserable state.

"This..." Qingque hesitated.

"Let's give it a try. After all, things can't get any worse," Chen Li said softly as he squatted down in front of Qingque.

Based on Chen Li's experience and Qingque's situation, the higher the number on the die (above 10), the luckier he will be in resolving his current troubles.

Once the score drops below 10, the lower the score, the more unlucky you'll become and the deeper you'll get trapped.

How unlucky or lucky you are depends on the severity of the current trouble.

Minor troubles, no matter how bad they are, won't get too bad.

"This is a huge gamble!" Qingque looked at the pink dice in front of her and finally couldn't resist grabbing them.

As Qingque tossed the dice into the air, the moment they landed, it felt as if Qingque heart had been struck hard.

[6]

"Ah!" Qingque cried out in agony.

They lost miserably once again.

"Don't worry so much. How could I possibly harm you as a friend?" Just when Qingque was in despair, Chen Li placed his hand directly on Qingque's head, like a ray of light shining into a dim space.

Then, under Qingque's hopeful gaze, Chen Li gently flicked the dice with his fingers.

The die spun again, and this time it landed on a different number.

[11]

"You can manually add points?" Qingque was overjoyed.

"I only had 5 Joy Points saved up, and now I'm using them all on you. In other words, as long as you throw out at least 3 points, I can guarantee you'll be able to resolve your current troubles smoothly."

"Huh? Didn't you say you only accumulated 5 points? Why is the maximum value 3?"

"That was originally how it was, but after seeing your antics firsthand, I've added three points," Chen Li said with a carefree laugh.

"What If I roll a 1?"

"Don't worry, I have a solution. Since it was my fault for making you roll the dice again, even if you rolled a 1, resulting in Great Failure and the entire Xianzhou Alliance knowing that you single-handedly fired three unparalleled cannons, I can smooth things over with my Approval of Noble Morality. Let's just consider this roll a waste." Chen Li shrugged.

This is the real reason Chen Li encouraged Qingque —to put himself in a "wicked" position.

If there are different types of people who enjoy entertainment, or even different camps, then Chen Li definitely belongs to the Order·Good.

Fortunately, the fact that Qingque was nailed to the pillar of shame of Imperial Jade Pillar of Shame was not a major problem, which is why Chen Li dared to make a guarantee.

Even though both are Miraculous Item, the One-star Artifact, the Joy Dice, is definitely of higher priority than the Karma Balance, but Chen Li has over 100,000 Karma Coin in his hands.

Don't be stingy with your Joy Points, since the maximum is only 10.

Perhaps this die was meant to encourage Chen Li to enjoy life to the fullest?

That makes sense.

"Although I don't know how to accumulate Joy Points, they must be very valuable. I'm sorry to have troubled you, my friend." Qingque tightly grasped the hand that Chen Li had just used to pat her head, deeply moved.

"Well, it's not that bad."

"No, you don't understand. If I were truly nailed to the pillar of shame in the history of the Imperial Jade Pillar of Shame, my life would be half gone!"

"Hehe." Looking at the Joy Points that had increased by three points to a total of 6, Chen Li silently accepted Qingque's thanks.

This was something Chen Li hadn't expected to be considered Elation.

"This can be considered a vivid and illustrative lesson in life, right? In short, stop thinking about high-stakes gambling every day. There are only two outcomes for gamblers."

"What are the two possible outcomes?" Although she was still more concerned about being nailed to the pillar of shame at the Imperial Jade Pillar of Shame and how the Joy Dice had helped her resolve the matter, Qingque listened patiently to Chen Li's words.

"All or nothing."

"... Isn't this still gambling?"

"Yes, now that I've persuaded you, it's time to persuade another gambler." Chen Li tossed the Joy Dice in his hand, laughing even more heartily.

Chen Li reiterated that he was laughing because rolling the dice naturally made him feel good, not because he was thinking about what might happen to Aventurine in the future.

I admit that the luck of the Aventurine is unparalleled, and his good fortune is unprecedented. But what would happen if he encountered the Joy Dice, which can block all luck attributes? Chen Li is very much looking forward to it.

Chapter 88 Chen Li: The local nobles are so rude!

"What a surprise! To find a blacksmith capable of forging Imperial Arms in such a remote place from the Imperial Capital. And to think that our daughter would have this opportunity. Welcome, welcome!" The nobleman, with slightly graying hair and a stout build, but always wearing a gentle smile, greeted Chen Li warmly.

"It's fate that we meet. I never expected that using this Miraculous Item would allow me to contact a young lady from a noble family thousands of miles away. And I never expected that this Miraculous Item would be called Imperial Arms in this country. Thank you for your hospitality, sir." Chen Li sat at the dining table, looking at the delicious food in front of him, and exchanged pleasantries with Aria's father very politely.

The light from the silver candlesticks reflected on the texture of the unknown Dangerous Species meat steak, while the red wine gleamed dimly in the Crystal glass.

Chen Li successfully arrived in this world.

Deceiving Aria wasn't difficult. Chen Li only needed to slightly edit the information conveyed by the Miraculous Forger to easily get her to accept his request to travel through time.

For example, the description "from another world" can be removed.

Once the other party has received basic information about the Miraculous Forger, during the chat, you can make them misunderstand Miraculous Forging as the lost ancient Imperial Arms forging technique.

The rest followed naturally.

In the world of Akame ga Kill!!, filled with blood and blades, the Imperial Arms, possessing wondrous powers, are like Miracle.

For them, the only thing that could make people travel thousands of miles from remote areas to the Imperial Capital is the Imperial Arms that have been passed down from the Imperial Capital.

However, if it is a remote rural area, it seems not impossible that the method of forging Imperial Arms, which was lost a thousand years ago, is still preserved.

After Chen Li applied to open the Teleportation Gate, Aria readily agreed to guide him and prepared a lavish dinner at her home.

"No need to be so polite. As you said, it's fate that we met. As Imperial Arms, with this skill, Mister Chen Li can thrive even in this historically rich Imperial Capital," said Aria's father.

"I see. Then I'll trouble you to introduce me to the higher-ups in the Imperial Capital. In return, I will forge this Imperial Arms for Miss Aria free of charge," Chen Li nodded and said.

"Really? That's great!" Aria said with some surprise.

"How can this be? Since he is a blacksmith, he should of course receive appropriate compensation, especially since he is forging such a wondrous item Imperial Arms. We should pay him. I wonder if Mister Chen Li could show us the forged Imperial Arms?" Aria's father said seriously.

"Of course." Chen Li said as he took out a silver needle about the length of his palm.

"This is... Imperial Arms?"

"Even among Imperial Arms, there are varying degrees of strength. The best material for forging Imperial Arms is Orichalcum, but I don't have any on hand, so the effect of this Imperial Arms will be slightly weaker, only inflicting extreme pain. However, it can change size." Chen Li said as he manipulated the silver needle, forged from Soul Steel, to extend.

"How amazing!" Aria clapped her hands as she watched.

"I'm glad Miss Aria likes it. This Miraculous Item was originally made for you." Chen Li shrunk the silver needle back to the length of a palm and placed it on the table.

"Alright, let's eat first, and we can talk more after we finish eating," said Aria's mother, a well-maintained blonde woman, with a smile.

"You're right. We put a lot of effort into preparing this meal. It contains meat from a rare Dangerous Species, and it tastes delicious. We mustn't waste it." Aria nodded repeatedly.

"Then you guys eat too."

"No need, we've already had dinner. This dinner was specially prepared to entertain you," Aria said with a smile.

"Oh, then I won't be polite." Chen Li's eyes lit up.

He then picked up a huge piece of thigh meat, about the size of a human head, and took a bite.

Power surged forth.

The meat of Dangerous Species can indeed bring Chen Li a significant boost. Although the drug inside slightly ruins the original taste of the meat, from another perspective, it also has a unique flavor.

This will help increase resistance to migraines.

Although Chen Li would be fine as long as he put food in his mouth, there was no guarantee that someone wouldn't poison him from somewhere else.

What if someone poisons Chen Li's tongue, then licks Chen Li's face, says "it tastes like a lie," and then knocks Chen Li unconscious?

"The meat of Dangerous Species is indeed delicious, but why do I feel a little sleepy?" After a long while, Chen Li, who had finished eating the dish that the noble lord had specifically requested, which was cooked with precious Dangerous Species as ingredients, was a little puzzled, and then slumped onto the table.

"This guy said he could forge Imperial Arms, and I thought he was really something. But it seems he's just average. If he were that good, why didn't he forge an Imperial Arms that could protect him from poison?" The once sweet and lovely noble lady, Aria, looked at Chen Li, who was lying motionless on the dining table, and a cruel smile appeared on her face.

Seeing the long needle now in her hands, capable of inflicting pain on others, Aria smiled even more broadly, her fingers trembling with excitement as she gripped the silver needle.

"I don't know where he got the method for forging Imperial Arms that was passed down from the Imperial Capital a thousand years ago, and he was lucky enough to obtain Imperial Arms that can be used to forge Imperial Arms... Even so, he's just an ignorant poor country boy." The originally kind and peaceful nobleman's words were not without sarcasm.

After a thousand years, no one knows what kind of Imperial Arms are; all that is known is that there are 48 Imperial Arms in total.

"After all, we used the most Dangerous Species ingredients to cover up the smell of a large amount of drugs. He died a worthy death to be able to eat such things. But my daughter is really amazing. I heard that not everyone can gain the recognition of the Imperial Arms." The noblewoman's smile became more restrained at this moment.

"Of course... Speaking of which, I originally thought you, Dad, would consider recommending this blacksmith who can forge Imperial Arms to the higher-ups of the Empire." Aria smiled proudly.

"Things are valued for their rarity. And if everyone has Imperial Arms, or even if those lowly trash are given weapons that can defy fate, what if they harm us?" The nobleman waved his hand.

"So what do we do next?"

"Of course... we should try to find an Imperial Arms that can be forged from the other party. If we really have such an item, we can give it to the minister and we will definitely gain his favor," the nobleman said.

As for the issue that not everyone can use Imperial Arms? Don't worry.

With so many people in the Empire, are we afraid we can't find someone who can use this Imperial Arms?

"Yay! Once you find the Imperial Arms, I'm going to personally use this Imperial Arms that can inflict extreme pain on him!" Aria cheered.

"Don't mess it up. The minister might still need this person," the nobleman warned.

"Okay!"

"Aaaaaah!" A heart-wrenching scream echoed throughout the entire noble manor.

Unable to fulfill their wishes and desires, they wept and lamented.

There are no techniques involved, it's all about emotion!

"The local gangs are so rude!" Chen Li stomped on the noble young lady Aria while enjoying the delicious food in front of him.

It has to be said that the nobles in the Imperial Capital are indeed wealthy. They actually have quite a few of these Dangerous Species ingredients that look incredibly valuable at first glance.

Although Chen Li can eat raw meat, he tries to avoid it as much as possible.

So after knocking the whole family unconscious with three punches, Chen Li found all the family's servants one by one and persuaded them to process all the precious ingredients in the house into dishes and serve them to Chen Li.

The specific method is to punch them in the stomach, beat them until they kneel down, then take out Forced Transaction Coin and ask them if they are willing to exchange giving them a punch in exchange for selling their lives to him.

Unwilling to risk your life? Then give me another punch.

But next time it won't be so light.

Forced Transaction Coin is indeed useful when you're dominating newbies.

There are indeed several powerful individuals in noble families, but Chen Li didn't eat so many Honkai beasts for nothing.

In just one day, Chen Li gained far more Attribute Points than he had in several years. Coupled with the sword techniques taught by Jingliu, Chen Li was able to easily crush everyone present.

It seems there's absolutely no limit to the Attribute Points gained from using One-star Artifact Gourmet Cells.

There will be no limit until you reach the level 3 Miraculous Forger rank cap.

Reaching the limit? Then allocate your increased physical abilities to other areas and continue increasing your physical abilities.

Although Chen Li felt that his rate of becoming stronger was nowhere near the rate of his rank improvement.

"Aaaaah!" Aria was still screaming in agony.

"Stop yelling, stop yelling! You're disturbing my dinner, you know that?" Chen Li stomped his foot, and then heard a clear cracking sound.

Aria's scream paused for a moment, then became even more piercing.

"Kids these days are so fussy, they can't even handle this little bit of hardship, don't you think?" Chen Li turned to look at the side.

"You're right, you're right," the nobleman standing beside him nodded repeatedly.

The nobleman's collar was straight, and his posture was impeccable... The only problem was that his body was somewhat transparent.

[Peaceful Longbow] Effect 2: Soul-Slaughter: Arrows will have the effect of directly striking the soul. After inflicting a wound on the soul, it will devour the opponent's soul, storing that portion of the soul within the longbow. Pain and despair will also serve as the energy source, powering the weapon. If an enemy is successfully killed, a complete soul can be obtained, which can be released and used to control the opponent when necessary.

Because there was only one needle, punishing two people would require stringing them together, which wasn't very aesthetically pleasing. Therefore, Chen Li adopted three different methods for dealing with the three "demons" in this family.
