Silver Wolf: I hacked Screwllum's account? How come I don't know about it?!

"What effect?" Houraisan Kaguya asked casually.

"It can cut anything," Chen Li said.

"That sounds pretty amazing. So, if this Miraculous Item were used to cut your Friends Circle, would it actually cut off your Friends Circle, or would your Friends Circle successfully protect you at the cost of losing a friend?" Houraisan Kaguya asked a rather tricky question.

"..." Chen Li looked up at the sky, his gaze blank.

Good question!

"No, that's not the point. I meant I just spoke with Sirin, but it turns out she's not the Sirin I imagined."

"Which Sirin is that?"

"Kiana's Herrscher of the Void consciousness."

"Holy crap, is this really Sirin?"

"Yes, yes, when I found out about this, I had the same expression as you do now."

"So what did you do?"

"I disguised myself as a familiar of another Herrscher of the Void, claiming that I had waited for her for an entire cycle, just to continue our past relationship."

"... Chen Li, listen to my advice."

"What advice?" When Chen Li saw Houraisan Kaguya temporarily put down her game, he knew that Houraisan Kaguya was about to get serious.

"Forget about all that nonsense for now. First, craft yourself a Miraculous Item to prevent being hacked to death by women. Seriously, at your rate of deceiving people's feelings, you'll be dismembered by other girls sooner or later," Houraisan Kaguya said earnestly.

"How could that be? I've always treated people with sincerity, okay?"

"Ah, right, right, so you want to turn that Herrscher of the Void who's still inside Kiana's consciousness into a useless person, right? Just like that Spring Spirit's definitely going to be a comedic character from the start."

"That's right, you're right. I can just raise it as Spring Spirit, right? So what should I do first?" Chen Li's eyes lit up.

"Let's go to the dock and get some fries."

"I'm serious."

"Yeah, let's go to the docks and get some fries. Fries with ketchup, it's simply unbeatable!" Houraisan Kaguya said.

"All right..."

"Oh, right, remember this: if you really want to turn the Herrscher of the Void into a useless person who can't live without you, you need to learn what training is?"

"... Kaguya, don't you think your topic is a bit dangerous?" Chen Li couldn't hold back any longer.

"For example, you first need to deepen her impression of you. Someone like the Herrscher of the Void, who lacked love since childhood, has zero resistance to a warm and caring man. And you just happen to have successfully gained her trust. Although simps never have a good ending, those who lack love are an exception," Houraisan Kaguya said eloquently.

"That..."

"Secondly, there's the matter of spiritual acceptance. Right now, she's trapped within Kiana's consciousness, and the only one who can communicate with her is you—this is a unique advantage. You need to instill in her the idea that Kiana possesses the whole world, while all she has is you."

"Ah, this..."

"Secondly, you need to make her body remember you, at least her stomach. Poor Herrscher of the Void, what good food can she eat? A piece of chocolate can make her remember you for a lifetime. But simply feeding her is not advisable; you need to add a little hint. For example, you can tell her that when you call her 'Your Queen,' she needs to respond to you first so that you can be sure she is not asleep before giving her food without disturbing her."

"If this continues, the Herrscher of the Void will develop a habit: when you call her Your Queen, she will subconsciously want to eat, thus remembering the kindness you have shown her. Ever heard of Pavlov's dog? You're using this method to deal with the Herrscher of the Void."

"No, Kaguya, you..."

"Hey, don't interrupt, I haven't finished yet. Finally, you need to give her a hint: I'm the only person you can trust, you can't leave me, the whole world will hurt you if you leave me... If conditions allow, you should give her a little more space after the honeymoon phase. Then let her take the initiative to talk to you, thus gaining the upper hand."

"This isn't right, is it?"

"That's right, what's wrong with that? That's how visual novels do it. Oh, and if you're still not comfortable with that, you can use something addictive to control her. Make her unable to stop."

"What games do you even play? What visual novel game would do something like that?"

"*Tune in** ah."

"Damn it!"

Houraisan Kaguya, can't you play some serious games?

"Yes, this is the final step, and also the most important one. Very good, you've graduated." Houraisan Kaguya patted Chen Li on the shoulder with satisfaction.

"???"

When Chen Li picked out three question marks, it wasn't Chen Li who had a problem, but rather the other party.

Chapter 114 Silver Wolf: I stole Screwllum's account? How come I didn't know!

Dad: Your Queen?

Herrscher of the Void (Sirin): In

Dad: Thankfully, Your Queen, you haven't fallen asleep again. Here, spicy lobster flavored instant noodles.

Herrscher of the Void (Sirin): Okay, thank you for your help.

"Is this really okay?" Chen Li couldn't help but turn around and ask after feeding the animals again.

"Good, why not? You need to understand that you're training the Herrscher of the Void in this way to Deliverance, so you don't need to feel any guilt."

"..."

"And if you ask me, you're being too lenient. If it were me, I'd be incredibly gentle with her first, and then when she couldn't live without me, I'd say, 'Oh, so you're not my Queen? Goodbye, I'm going to find my own queen.' That would guarantee her a crushing defeat!" Houraisan Kaguya said excitedly while grinding through the game.

"... Kaguya, are you a demon?" Chen Li thought he was abstract enough, but he didn't expect someone to be even more abstract than him.

This isn't Deliverance, it's driving the Herrscher of the Void to her death!

"Hehehe, a broken Herrscher of the Void sounds pretty good, doesn't it?" Houraisan Kaguya couldn't help but lick her lips.

"..."

One glance at Huiqu Night, and it's clear he was playing games.

As expected, Chen Li's friends always manage to give Chen Li suggestions that Chen Li speechless.

Yesterday, Najenda, who talked about purifying the entire empire and making humanity great again, was one of them. Today, Houraisan Kaguya, who had Chen Li train the Herrscher of the Void and then cruelly abandoned and completely ruined her, is another.

"But seriously, if you want that Herrscher of the Void Sirin, who isn't quite right in the head, to be a little more normal, I suggest you forge a Miraculous Item with the Purification attribute that can conjure up delicious food. That might help her break free from the Honkai's allure," Houraisan Kaguya said.

In fact, Sirin's mind went awry, and her Honkai Consciousness is definitely to blame.

Of course, Otto, that bastard, also has to take the blame for another big mistake.

From a purely objective perspective, it was indeed wrong for Sirin to Destruction the world after becoming the Second Herrscher. However, after being defeated, she fled to the moon and used a pillar from the moon to smash Earth like a meteorite, which was even more heinous.

From a purely personal perspective, if Chen Li were to become the Second Herrscher, Chen Li would only think that Sirin's abilities were truly terrible, and that he himself would be better off doing it, as he could definitely take down the entire Earth.

Conservative Faction think Radical Faction are too conservative.

Radical Faction think Conservative Faction are too radical.

"But now I only have 41 Crystals left."

"It's easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but difficult to go from extravagance to frugality, right? Don't you think about how many Crystals you had when you first started? Are you afraid of running out of Crystals now? At worst, you can just go on another Serendipitous Encounter World. Maybe you can even gain another world that you can use as a base." Houraisan Kaguya said nonchalantly.

"You have such a good attitude," Chen Li remarked.

"That's natural, after all, it's not my Crystal."

"... Never mind what I just said. Anyway, I do have a way to solve both problems at once." After thinking for a moment, Chen Li summoned the Forging Table.

Chen Li suddenly realized that he still owed Hanazono Yurine a tablecloth that could conjure up delicious snacks anytime, anywhere.

If we just tamper with this Miraculous Item, wouldn't that satisfy both Hanazono Yurine and the request to make the Herrscher of the Void think straight?

Holy crap, I'm a genius!

You might even earn some more Crystals!

As for Hanazono Yurine? She had no objection; it was free anyway.

"Speaking of which, I seem to remember encountering a purification entry before, where was it again?" Chen Li scratched his head and began to browse through his entry database and forging records.

After all that trouble, Chen Li suddenly discovered...

"Damn it! That seems to be an entry from the Shard of the Four Souls, and then I threw it in the recycle bin!"

Chen Li figured he wouldn't need the [Purification] attribute, so he didn't choose to spend precious Crystals to preserve it.

"Damn it, where can I get some [Purification] entries?" Chen Li began pacing back and forth in Houraisan Kaguya's room.

"Stop spinning me around, you're making me dizzy. If you don't have the 'Purification' modifier, you could at least use the 'Mother' modifier. The Honkai Consciousness is only so-so, after all, Honkai can be bewitched, but Herrschers can also ignore bewitching." Houraisan Kaguya complained.

The Honkai Consciousness is actually somewhat mentally unstable.

Moreover, His bewitching power is not absolute. For example, He once sent the Herrscher of Reason, born from Fu Hua's body and Remembrance, to Destroy Humanity, but the Herrscher of Reason was preoccupied with proving to others that he was Fu Hua.

Did the Herrscher of Reason hear the manipulation of the Honkai Consciousness? Yes.

Did she fall for the spell? Not at all.

"That makes sense... Mom! Go cook me a dish!" Chen Li flicked out a Starstones, summoned his mother to his side, and then pointed to the kitchen.

"Huh?" Li Changxi, who was summoned, was completely bewildered.

"I want to use my mother's cooking to forge a Miraculous Item, a Miraculous Item that can produce food that feels like a mother's warm care."

"Alright, this time your mom will do her best!" After hearing this, Li Changxi rolled up her sleeves and rushed out of Houraisan Kaguya's room, heading towards the kitchen.

Five minutes later, a plate of dark-colored food was placed in front of Chen Li.

"Excuse me." Chen Li bowed to his beloved mother, then turned and left.

Even tigers don't eat their cubs...

Chen Li should be able to eat this dish, but Chen Li has no desire to eat it at all.

"Sigh, you..." Li Changxi was furious and was about to go forward and teach her son a lesson, but Chen Li sent her back directly.

"Where am I supposed to find a 'mother' entry?" Chen Li up the food with its ambiguous meaning and poured it into the fire she had just picked up that morning.

Chen Li didn't know what the flame would eat, so he offered it as a token of Chen Li goodwill, a little bit of kitchen waste.

Seeing the flame that had devoured the food on his plate but still showed no gratitude, clenching its little fists and lunging at him, Chen Li grabbed the Miraculous Forging Guide and slapped it.

"Ah, I have an idea!" Chen Li's eyes suddenly lit up.

Chen Li suddenly came up with a very reliable idea.

What If Chen Li truly cannot find an item containing the "Mother" entry, he cannot forge Miraculous Item capable of conjuring snacks and desserts that taste like his mother's...

Wouldn't it be better to just have Chen Li's mother?

Cheng's dad is fine too.

Chen Li can now Extract Attribute from stories, so his thinking doesn't have to be so limited.

Since there's no entry for "mother," let's create one.

So...

"Please, Screwllum, this is my lifelong request."

"... What are you going to do now?" Screwllum glanced at the planetary-level robot vacuum cleaner he was making, then at Chen Li, who looked embarrassed.

No, buddy, what kind of trouble are you up to now?

"Can I borrow your account one more time?"

"Question: What do you want to do?" As Genius Society member, Screwllum had never seen someone like Chen Li who never played by the rules, so out of caution Screwllum had to ask.

"Deliverance!" Chen Li said firmly.

"Hmm?" Although Screwllum didn't understand what Chen Li meant by "Deliverance," Screwllum felt that Chen Li's serious expression meant that something important must be going on.

So Screwllum didn't hesitate to lend out his Genius Society account.

"Thank you. To repay you, I've decided to lend you my Miracle Card once," Chen Li said gratefully.

"Conclusion: No, just do what you need to do," Screwllum said understandingly.

"As expected of the mechanical noble Screwllum. Even when faced with the opportunity to ask the Aeon a question that He must answer, he remained unfazed. Indeed, for geniuses, questions are perhaps always more important than answers." Chen Li looked at Screwllum with admiration.

"... I take back what I just said." Screwllum quickly retracted a message.

"Just kidding. Screwllum, you've helped me so many times, I really can't think of a way to repay you, so I'm going to lend you a chance to ask anyone a question and they have to answer you. But you need to be careful, you have to meet the person first before you can ask them a question. And this opportunity won't be available to you for at least two days," Chen Li said.

Because Chen Li now needs two chances to use it.
