As long as there's an abundance of all sorts of strange and delicious food, your physical fitness will improve rapidly, like riding a rocket.

What if Chen Li uses the Joy Dice and the result is less than 10?

Then let's just leave Seryu as is.

After all, it's not a big problem.

The Joy Dice was tossed up by Chen Li, and after landing on the ground, it slowly stopped spinning, revealing its "view" on the trouble Chen Li was currently facing.

[16]

"A roll greater than 10 means this trouble will be resolved smoothly, but I have a feeling this die is holding back a big one," Chen Li complained, stroking his chin.

Whether it's due to stereotypes about the Aeon of Joy and the Masked Fool, Chen Li felt that although the possibility was small, it wasn't impossible.

Chen Li decided that if he didn't accumulate 10 Joy Points, he would absolutely not ask for help from the Joy Dice on **trouble.

This Joy Dice is very useful, and its effect is probably outstanding among One-star Artifact, but that doesn't change the fact that it's a double-edged sword.

Seryu, who was once again flung away by Chen Li, looked at Chen Li, whom she could not resist with her own strength, and her master, who had been turned into a monster by Chen Li, and finally couldn't help but let out a "whoosh".

"Goo! State your request! For Master's sake, I'm willing to grant you any condition." Seryu looked at Chen Li with a humiliated expression, her face clearly showing that she was willing to accept defeat.

"Huh?" Chen Li was taken aback.

"What are you pretending for? You turned my master into a monster, but you didn't lay a hand on me. You must know that my master wouldn't submit to a criminal like you, but I might compromise for his safety, right? Now that my master is in your hands, just tell me what you want."

"???" Chen Li looked at the Joy Dice, then at Seryu.

So that's how it was solved? That's amazing.

"You mean, as long as I don't kill this Slime that your master turned into, you're willing to grant me any request, right?" Chen Li asked uncertainly.

"Do you want to humiliate me again? You really are a villain! If this satisfies your twisted desires, then... yes." Seryu gave Chen Li a disdainful look and nodded again.

"..."

"But before that, I'd like to ask, can my master change back?"

"Okay." Chen Li nodded.

"Then state your request." Seryu's eyes were filled with relief and a kind of self-pity that seemed to come from sacrificing one's life.

"Happy."

Chen Li's previously used-up Joy Points instantly jumped to 3.

With the Joy Dice, the fun never stops.

Such an outrageous thing can happen.

Chen Li never imagined that one day he would become someone who holds a woman's weakness and demands that she fulfill any of his requests.

"You're willing to do anything, huh? Then I won't stand on ceremony... Go buy me two oranges."

"Um?"

"If you don't want to go, then your master..."

"Alright, I'll go. Although I don't know what you villains are after, I'll do anything as long as you don't harm my master." Seryu interrupted Chen Li, then lay on the ground for a while to recover before walking out of the alley to find the fruit shop.

"Speaking of which... it's so late, are there still fruit shops open?" Chen Li was a little unsure, but that wasn't a question he needed to think about.

What Chen Li needs to do now is to go find the minister.

Chen Li originally intended to take the nobleman who had turned into a ghost to chat with the ministers, and turning the Ogre Oka in front of him into Slime was just a side effect.

"Let's go. Before Esdeath returns after pacifying the north, we need to find a way to get our hands on all the Miraculous Item of the Imperial Capital. Our first target is the minister." Chen Li said to the nobleman who was in a semi-invisible state, then leaped onto the roof and hopped towards their target.

Although Chen Li had recorded the Herrscher of the Void Authority, and flying was the most basic part of the Herrscher of the Void Authority, even if he flew for a day and a night, it wouldn't cost much Starstones. However, the problem was that Chen Li's proficiency was too low, and he couldn't fly steadily at all.

It's definitely safer to jump onto someone else's roof.

"If I don't get my hands on their stuff before turning them into Slimes, won't it be a waste? I might as well give it to me." With this expectation in mind, Chen Li arrived at the minister's house after a half-hour journey.

Even though it was late at night, the minister's house was still brightly lit, making the entire estate look magnificent and no less impressive than the palace.

Chen Li took a liking to the Imperial Arms and a large quantity of Dangerous Species ingredients collected in the minister's household.

The minister loved to eat meat, and coincidentally, Chen Li also loved to eat meat.

The minister had a penchant for collecting Imperial Arms, and coincidentally, Chen Li also wanted some.

Isn't this a coincidence?

Even Savior needs to eat, so the ministers had no choice but to make do.

Chapter 92 Silver Wolf has sent you a challenge invitation. Do you accept?

"Here you go, these two oranges you wanted." Chen Li tossed two oranges in front of Houraisan Kaguya.

"Ah?"

"Didn't you teach Qingque to say, 'I'll only eat two, and you can have the rest'? Here, two." Chen Li rolled his eyes at Houraisan Kaguya.

"Aha... would you believe me if I said it was a misunderstanding?"

Do you think I believe that?

"Ahem, let's not talk about that. When you messaged me tonight, didn't you say you were going to try your luck at the minister's house, so you told me to order takeout instead of yours? How was your trip?" Houraisan Kaguya quickly changed the subject.

The current time period is different in different worlds.

It was already past midnight in the world of Akame ga Kill!!, but it was only 8 p. m. in Chen Li's Main World, which is why Houraisan Kaguya asked that question.

"Oh, this... well, it's quite disappointing."

"Hmm?" Houraisan Kaguya tilted her head in confusion.

"Because when I infiltrated the minister's house, went up to him, and asked him to open the secret room where he kept his Imperial Arms, I found that he didn't have many Imperial Arms. However, there was a considerable amount of gold and silver treasure in the secret room next door." Chen Li shook his head with some regret.

Although the harvest wasn't as much as he had imagined, Chen Li still obtained quite a few things, such as forging materials like dragon claws, ivory, and Orichalcos, as well as valuable items.

"Infiltrate? You can do that too?"

"Infiltration is very simple, if that really counts as infiltration..." Chen Li didn't have much of a specific memory of the infiltration operation at the minister's house half an hour ago.

If I had to describe my feelings, it would be... the battle was exhilarating!

Chen Li admitted that the manor where the minister was located was indeed heavily guarded, with countless sentries armed with various poison needles and traps; it was indeed quite formidable.

But only a little.

Despite the fact that Chen Li often encounters some difficult beings in the Honkai: Star Rail world, and that Chen Li can be affected if he is not careful, the attack methods in the world of Akame ga Kill!! are so simple that they move Chen Li.

In that world filled with blood and blades, Chen Li relied on the Bonds he formed with his many friends to make it impossible for his opponents to even break through his defenses.

So Chen Li took advantage of his Friends Circle to let the other party attack him at will, and then used his agility and speed to rush in front of the other party, punch him, and let him sleep soundly.

In this way, Chen Li subdued 80% of the guards in the minister's residence.

Of course, Chen Li did encounter strong resistance.

A woman who appeared out of nowhere and could instantly release large amounts of liquid that was hard to tell if it was sweat or oil caused Chen Li a lot of annoyance—she disgusted Chen Li.

That was also the first time Chen Li used a heavy hand. After kicking her unconscious, he dragged over three of the other party's self-proclaimed companions who were saying that the Rakshasa Four Ghosts the Imperial Fist Temple were invincible and punched them a few times. After forcing them to obey his orders by using Forced Transaction Coins, he made her three companions hang her up and beat her for three hours.

Judging by the time, it's still being smoked now.

Chen Li's final display of Pale Justice, unleashing a sword aura several meters long, not only shattered the minister's formidable defenses but also shattered the minister's last remaining confidence in their defensive capabilities.

However, when Chen Li walked up to the minister, the minister calmly stated that if Chen Li was willing to surrender, he would spare Chen Li's life.

At the time, Chen Li didn't understand why the minister, who was clearly so ordinary, could be so confident.

Until the minister took out his jewel-shaped Imperial Arms and pointed it at Chen Li.

He was saying something about how this was Imperial Arms that could destroy an opponent's Imperial Arms; as long as an enemy entered its range, it could destroy the opponent's Imperial Arms at the cost of shattering its gems...

Chen Li then realized that the minister had mistaken his Friends Circle for Imperial Arms, which was why he was so confident.

Then?

Three punches shatter the minister's soul, sir, you are my master!

"Stop hitting me! Stop hitting me! I agree! I agree! I'll exchange these three punches for my eternal loyalty to you!" Honest, kneeling on the ground, was moved to tears by Chen Li's three punches.

The Forced Transaction Coins in Chen Li's hand emitted a golden light, indicating that the transaction had been completed.

Forced Transaction Coin is so convenient when you're dominating newbies. No matter what kind of trade you use, just tell me if I gave you anything.

Giving you three punches is also considered giving you something.

Since you've been given these things, you must spend the rest of your life repaying Chen Li's kindness.

Of course, if the trading partner were Aeon or some strange deity, Chen Li would definitely not be so presumptuous.

The more equivalent the transaction, the stronger the enforcement of the Forced Transaction Coin.

Fortunately, Minister Honest had trained at the Imperial Fist Temple. Although he was large and fat, he was in good physical condition; otherwise, he would have fainted after just three punches.

"Very good. Now go outside and calm things down, then come back and take me to see your collection of Imperial Arms."

"Alright!" The minister scrambled out.

Chen Li didn't know what excuse the minister used, but the commotion outside had stopped.

When the minister opened the secret chamber and showed Chen Li his treasure, Chen Li realized how wasteful the minister was.

"Why did you give all the Imperial Arms to others?" Chen Li was furious as he looked at the only five Imperial Arms left in the treasury.

"My lord, Imperial Arms are bound to their masters and cannot be used by just anyone. Rather than wasting them in the secret chamber, it would be better to use them to win over powerful individuals," the minister whispered.

"You still dare to argue?" At this moment, Chen Li was completely oblivious to the fact that he had also distributed the Miraculous Items to others.

In a sense, Chen Li and Honest share the same ideals.

"My lord, I was wrong."

"Fine, what you need to do next is send people to search for Imperial Arms throughout the entire Empire. Don't worry about whether anyone can use these Imperial Arms, just collect them."

"Yes, sir."

Chen Li didn't turn Honest directly into Slime, but instead used Forced Transaction Coins to control him first, precisely for this reason.

Given the power a minister wields in this empire, it would be far easier for him to collect the Imperial Arms than for Chen Li to do so personally.

As for the users of the Imperial Arms who no longer possess the Imperial Arms?

Why doesn't Chen Li just forge a few weapons for them as compensation?

For Chen Li, the most important thing about the Imperial Arms is actually the inscriptions that have been refined over thousands of years of time and fate, rather than the Imperial Arms themselves.

"However, while Honest doesn't have the habit of collecting Imperial Arms, he does have a habit of collecting Special Grade Dangerous Species Beast steaks. I took a whole warehouse full of Special Grade Dangerous Species ingredients from his house," Chen Li said as he grilled a piece of steak over the flames of the gas stove.

"Um... isn't using a gas stove for grilling Tai He? At least Tai He for home use. And the taste doesn't seem very good either," Houraisan Kaguya whispered a reminder from the side.

"It's fine, it just means I can consume more gas. With higher resistance to gas, I'll be invincible in the Holy Grail War," Chen Li said nonchalantly.

Having developed Gourmet Cells, Chen Li can now taste the deliciousness in anything that can be put in his mouth.

Even if it's roasted to a crisp, it's still edible.

"Uh, why?" Houraisan Kaguya, puzzled.

"Don't you know? During the Holy Grail War, the official explanation given by Fuyuki City for all kinds of disaster sites was a gas explosion. Would the officials lie to us? If I have high resistance to gas explosions, wouldn't I be invincible?"

"Is that how it's understood?" Houraisan Kaguya shocked.

Houraisan Kaguya always felt that Chen Li had gone mad from playing the Joy Dice.

Otherwise, it's just abstraction.

"But you're right, using gas to grill Dangerous Species cutlets is indeed ineffective. It's time to create a Miraculous Item that can quickly cook food or even grill cutlets." Chen Li nodded.

Chen Li hesitated as he looked at the undercooked pork chop in front of him.

It's a bit hard to eat.

Although Chen Li can eat anything, it doesn't mean that Chen Li will eat everything.

It's wasteful and not good.
