Chen Li: Even a savior has to eat!

Moreover, even the most naive person, upon seeing the shocking scene inside the warehouse, would naturally know that they had entered a den of thieves.

"Keep it for now, I have a use for it. Do you have any objections?"

"No."

"Then remember to abide by the contract. Work for me for one-tenth of your lifespan," Chen Li reminded him.

This was a deal Chen Li made with them after rescuing them, because he felt they were too kind and he wanted to repay them.

"Yes, sir, we will never forget your kindness."

"It's not necessary to keep bringing this up." Chen Li shook his head and tossed the dice in his hand.

Chen Li now has 7 pleasure points.

Seeing the boy named Ieyasu's emotions fluctuate wildly because of his words, Chen Li gained an extra Joy Points.

"If Qingque can use the Joy Dice to solve her problem by treating the inability to win as her own trouble, then if I don't know how to deal with this world right now, can I use the Joy Dice?" Looking at the dice shining with pink light and the hazy colors under the lamp, Chen Li held them in his hand again and then threw them out.

I already have 7 Joy Points. Even if I'm so unlucky that I throw away one and suffer a Great Failure, I can still get it back to 8 points. Although it will still cause some trouble, it might not be a bad thing.

According to the passive effect of the Vortex of Destiny, the more trouble you encounter, the more benefits you gain. When you are unlucky, you will naturally receive corresponding benefits.

In other words, if Chen Li in using this die, he can solve the problem more easily; if he fails Chen Li can still gain more benefits from the trouble.

So... friends, this is a huge gamble!

The sound of the dice hitting the ground rang out, and the result appeared in front of Chen Li.

[15]

Seeing this number, Chen Li was satisfied but not quite, so he used his "golden finger" to start turning the dice.

[16]

[17]

"Hmm?" Chen Li originally planned to move it to 20 points to see how effective it was, but he found that moving it from 15 points to 16 points only cost a little bit of points, but moving it from 16 points to 17 points cost 2 points.

And it takes 4 points to go from point 17 to point 18.

"Oh... so using Joy Points to increase the dice roll doesn't increase it by the same amount?" Chen Li was taken aback.

Chen Li glanced at the description of this Miraculous Item and indeed did not see the word "equal quantity".

After thinking for a moment, Chen Li tried again, this time moving the dice of Joy Dice back.

It was discovered that only one Joy Points was needed between 3 PM and 9 PM, but 2 Joy Points were needed to go from 9 PM to 8 PM.

"Understood. Once you cross the threshold of 10, which distinguishes between luck and misfortune, the consumption of Joy Points will increase exponentially. One point the first time, two points the second time, and four points the third time."

This also means that if Chen Li wants to get the points to 20, he needs to roll the dice to at least 17.

Because the maximum number of Joy Points that can be accumulated is 10.

"Very good, as expected. It's One-star Artifact crafted with only forty Crystal. It certainly has a rebellious streak, but I like it." Chen Li didn't dwell on this matter.

This One-star Artifact only costs 40 Crystal, and it even has a pity system. What more could you ask for?

Take Doctor Truth, a five-star character, for example. Even if his strength is terrible, he's given away for free, so what can you say?

Besides, Doctor Truth is no pushover either.

In the end, Chen Li spent 7 points to fix the final number of the dice at [18].

"Joy Dice, let me see your limits!" Chen Li looked at the 18 points, his heart pounding with excitement.

Although it wasn't as successful as [20], it wasn't far off.

[Mutant: Ice]

A line of Source Text appeared before Chen Li.

"Hmm, mutation? Ice? What is that?" Chen Li was stunned for a moment.

Just as Chen Li was somewhat confused, the four words suddenly disintegrated into countless points of light, surging towards Chen Li.

Chen Li originally thought that these light spots were coming towards him, but unexpectedly a Miracle Card suddenly appeared and absorbed all of them.

"Let me see... Cleanup Master?" Chen Li discovered that the card that absorbed these light spots was actually the Miracle Card [Cleanup Master].

Upon holding it in his hand, Chen Li noticed that the word "Slime" was highlighted in Central Plains effect 1 of his Miracle Card: "[Every act of cleaning away filth will become your merit. Merit can be used to initiate the judgment of Slime beings and, depending on their sins, transform them into Slime cleaners to devour filth for the world.]".

After clicking it, an additional comment popped up.

PS: When used in this world, you can choose to transform the Slime Cleaner into Ice Slime Janitor, which has absolute resistance to ice attributes. It can also store a large amount of ice attribute power and turn the cold air into a shield. You will not be damaged until the shield disappears.

"Miracle Card can even have collaborations? This..." Chen Li was stunned for a moment, then imagined a scene.

When facing an enemy, first use your Friends Circle to rely on the Bond between yourself and your friends to temporarily withstand the opponent's attack. Then, countless Miracle Card appear in front of you, and you begin Fusion, Ritual, Synchro, Xyz, Link, Pendulum...

Three minutes later, the Dark Archmage was successfully summoned, resulting in an unconditional victory!

"Oh, so I'm a Yu-Gi-Oh! player! I didn't know that!" Chen Li exclaimed in realization.

So that's how Miracle Card are played? I get it now.

"... What the hell!" Chen Li smashed the Joy Dice on the ground.

Then the Joy Dice bounced back into Chen Li's hand.

"Speaking of which, isn't this Slime's effect a bit too effective against a certain Imperial Arms in this world? Or rather, isn't it a mutation specifically created to counter that opponent? So, the key to breaking the deadlock actually lies with Esdeath?" Chen Li stroked his chin, beginning to ponder the hints given by the Joy Dice.

Slime, as cleaners, are inherently immortal, almost like a rule. Even if they are completely crushed, they will return to their original state after a long period of time.

It is particularly important to note that the recovery time is not included in the sentence.

Crying? Crying also counts as time. jpg

If you add immunity to ice and the ability to obtain an ice shield, then it becomes even more overpowered.

"What do you two think of Esdeath?" Chen Li turned to look at Sayo and Ieyasu, the two local country folk.

"General Esdeath? I heard about her when I first came to the Imperial Capital. They say Esdeath's a rare good person, very kind to her subordinates and ordinary people, and undefeated in every battle—the strongest general in the empire! When the shopkeepers on the streets of the Imperial Capital heard that we wanted to join the army to save the village, they all told me to learn from General Esdeath," Sayo said excitedly.

Sayo, Ieyasu, and Tatsumi, the protagonist of this world, originally went to the Imperial Capital hoping to make a name for themselves in the army and save their village from its plight.

As a rare female general in the Imperial Army, every the Lady who joined the army naturally strived to emulate Esdeath.

"If General Esdeath wants to become empress, would you support her?" Chen Li asked.

"There's no real question of whether I should support it or not. I feel like it won't be any worse than it is now," Sayo said after thinking for a moment.

"So what's your impression of Esdeath?" Chen Li turned to look at the local privileged class, the nobleman.

"Well, he's an outlier in Minister Honest's faction. Not only does he never accept bribes, but he also distributes the various rewards bestowed by the emperor or the ministers' gifts of gratitude to his subordinates. I've heard that he always eats with ordinary soldiers in the army, and the morale of the troops he leads is extremely high. He's one of the two pillars of the empire."

"What? General Esdeath is also Minister Honest's lackey?" Sayo looked at the nobleman in great surprise.

Even Sayo and other country bumpkins who had only been in the Imperial Capital for a day had heard from passersby that the reason the empire's taxes were so heavy was because of the minister, the mastermind behind it all.

"Not really... Esdeath's position is quite unique..." Even the nobleman found it difficult to describe Esdeath.

"I think I understand. So, what if... Esdeath became the Empress? Would you be able to accept that?" Chen Li asked.

"Of course not! She can't make money for us! That rigid woman... I'm sorry, Master." The nobleman, suddenly realizing his current status, quickly began to apologize.

"I'm in a good mood now, too lazy to beat you up. Very well, you officials and nobles don't want Esdeath to be empress. The Revolutionary Army certainly doesn't want Esdeath to be empress either. Isn't that perfect? You're unhappy, but I'm the one who's happy." Chen Li suddenly laughed after hearing the nobleman's reply.

Most importantly, Sayo and Ieyasu, as ordinary people, did not object.

Very good, I understand. I'll turn all the demons and monsters in the Imperial Capital into ice Slime one by one, and then go and start a rebellion against Esdeath!

Esdeath Ice Slime is invincible, right?

Compared to ordinary human soldiers, ice Slime are a more suitable subordinate for Esdeath!

Moreover, it is said that Esdeath has a hidden technique called "Great General of Ice Storm," which allows her to create a large number of ice cavalry. These cavalry not only possess combat power that ordinary soldiers cannot match, but they can also store the energy of the Imperial Arms, enough for at least several days. Esdeath can then release the energy stored over the past few days in one go during the final battle, creating a massive blizzard.

Why bother with ice riders? Ice Slime are much better!

What? Esdeath disagrees?

Then punch her until she kneels, and let the ice Slime hang Esdeath up and whip her for three days and three nights, and she'll agree.

Listen to me, the Ice Slime is the most suitable subordinate for you.

If you don't obey, the Ice Slime will be your most troublesome enemy.

Chen Li never intended to discuss it with Esdeath.

Chapter 91 Chen Li: Even Savior needs to eat!

"Emmm..." Chen Li, with a ghost floating beside him, stared into thought as he looked at the Slime in front of him.

The ice Slime created by combining the Joy Dice with the Miracle Card Cleanup Master struck Chen Li as particularly interesting.

It's cool and refreshing, and it looks more solid than regular Slime.

This is the first unlucky person Chen Li encountered while traveling in the Imperial Capital at night.

Chen Li activated the effect of [Cleaning Master], spending merit to turn it into Slime. [Joy Dice] added an extra effect within this "Field" (World), transforming it into an ice Slime. Due to the opponent's grave sins, punishing evil and upholding justice triggered the passive effect of the Karma Balance, increasing Chen Li's Karma Coin.

Excellent, as expected of Yu-Gi-Oh!

With more Miraculous Item and Miracle Card having passive effects in the future, it's unknown how many chain effects can be triggered when activating the effect of a certain Miraculous Item or Miracle Card.

"This Imperial Capital is truly delightful; you can even find walking Karma Coin on the streets. Let me see your sentence... 589 years? You're really despicable." Chen Li was shocked after glancing at the other party's sentence.

Everyone in the Imperial Capital is incredibly talented! And their words are so harsh!

"Then for the rest of the time, you'll be moving around within the Imperial Capital. As a cleaner, you'll be giving this Imperial Capital a thorough cleaning." Chen Li, feeling sorry for the other party's deep sins, patted the round ice Slime, which was about a meter in diameter, and then defined its range of movement.

As a user of the Miracle Card Chen Li is able to control the Slime Cleaner to a certain extent.

It can issue simple commands and define the cleaning area.

No matter how long you train them, at most you can only teach them what it means to rush forward, to stop, and to retreat.

However, since Slime don't have brains, ideas like confining their movement to a factory or ordering them to tighten screws are impossible; they can't do such delicate work.

The only skill they are born with that doesn't need to be taught is cleaning.

Chen Li only cleaned up a small part of the garbage in the Imperial Capital, so Chen Li has not yet received any feedback on his achievements.

Although Chen Li could treat dealing with this person as a cleanup action and immediately receive corresponding random rewards and merits, the larger the scope of the cleanup, the higher the final reward. Chen Li wanted to save the rewards for last and make a big splash!

"Then it's time to deal with your matter... Why are you looking at me like that? Do you have a problem with me?" Chen Li turned his head to look at the girl who was leaning against the wall of the alley after he flicked her on the head, staring intently at him.

"If I remember correctly, your name should be... Seryu Ubiquitas, right?" Chen Li asked.

"As expected, you know me! A despicable criminal like you must have been a thief caught by my master before, right? Because of this, you held a grudge and used some unknown evil spirit to turn my respected master into this state!" The girl looked at Chen Li with a face full of anger.

"Sigh..." Chen Li sighed.

The guy he just turned into an ice Slime was Ouka, the Capitano of the Imperial Capital Garrison. Chen Li remembered that in the backstory, Ouka's nickname was "Ogre Oka." He colluded with an oil merchant whose name he didn't know to illegally make huge profits and framed and killed many innocent people.

The 45 Karma Coin that were found on the other party also represent that the other party deserved their punishment.

At the same time, Chen Li's series of actions also allowed Chen Li to obtain more Starstones.

Defeating Aria's family yielded 200 Starstones, and defeating the Ogre Oka yielded 50 Starstones.

Compared to ordinary people, they are quite valuable, probably because they are indeed very useful in advancing the plot.

Transmigrators have such great talent; they can get rewards just by causing trouble in another world.

The girl in front of them was named Seryu Ubiquitas, and she was the Capitano's apprentice.

The reason Chen Li didn't know how to deal with the girl in front of him was that although his master was a wicked man, she had become a member of the guard team who upheld justice under the careful guidance of Ogre Oka.

Euca's original intention was to better control this tool, but it brought Chen Li a little trouble.

Although the other party's concept of "justice" is actually somewhat distorted, leading to a slightly harsher approach to criminals, Chen Li can at least not see much sin in her now.

"Young lady, don't be sold out and then help the seller count the money, okay? If I told you that your master isn't a good person, and even plans to sell you for a good price after a while, would you believe me?" Chen Li asked.

"Shut up! You villain, you're not allowed to insult my master like that!" Upon hearing Chen Li's words, Seryu, fueled by her anger, slowly stood up.

"The power of anger is indeed great. Let me think about how to deal with you... Never mind, I guess I'll have to rely on the omnipotent Joy Dice." A die radiating a dazzling pink light appeared in Chen Li's hand. Then, after Seryu rushed in front of him, he flicked her forehead, sending her flying.

Chen Li was not surprised that Seryu was able to get up and charge at him again, because Chen Li had not used much force to begin with.

On the contrary, the fact that a single flick on the head could keep the other person from getting up for a long time made Chen Li realize once again just how strong and fast the enhancement of his physical abilities brought about by the Gourmet Cells was.
