Dragon Master Taoran's Offer of Cooperation

"Then, what else do you need? An autograph?" Guinaifen asked tentatively.

"I already have one of those. Unless it's a signature with special meaning, there's no need to collect a second one. Let me think..."

Standing opposite Chen Li, Guinaifen felt Chen Li looking her up and down and couldn't help but clench her hands in front of her chest.

I have a feeling that they have some ill intentions.

"Little Gui Zi, you're a street performer, right?"

"That's right."

"I want to see Chest Crushing Stone!" Chen Li held up one index finger.

"Huh? Now?"

"Yes, because if it were a different time, I might not be on the Xianzhou anymore." Chen Li nodded.

"But Chest Crushing Stone requires two people to work together..." Guinaifen thought for a moment, then turned to look at her best friend.

"W-why are you looking at me like that?" Seeing her close friend turn to look at her, Sushang subconsciously took a step back.

"Sushang, we're good friends, right?"

"No, that's right."

"They're best friends who would live and die together, right?"

"Good best friends are fine, but sharing life and death is out of the question." Sushang shook her head.

It would be quite presumptuous for a short-lived species and a Long-Life Species to live and die together.

"Su Sushang, please, come with me and perform the 'Chest Crushing Stone' act! I beg you. This is my lifelong request." Guinaifen grabbed Sushang's hand.

"Sigh, but Chest Crushing Stone is dangerous. And I'm quite strong, what if I can't control the hammer's force... I'm the one holding the hammer, right?" Sushang was halfway through her sentence when she suddenly noticed that Guinaifen's expression seemed a little off.

"..."

"Right?!"

"Sushang, you yourself said that Chest Crushing Stone is very dangerous, and you are quite strong..." Guinaifen hesitated before continuing.

"It would be dangerous for me to break that big rock, no way!" Sushang resolutely refused Guinaifen's request.

You really only think about yourself!

"Alas, I have a plan." Just when Sushang felt that this matter seemed very dangerous, Chen Li suddenly jumped out.

"What?"

"Sushang, have you ever heard of the Bailu?"

"Oh, is that the Dragon Lady of the Healer's Apothecary Bailu? I've heard she's a Divine Doctor, even capable of bringing people back to life." Sushang nodded.

Although Sushang had just transferred from Xianzhou Yaoqing to Luofu Xianzhou, she had heard of such a famous person before.

"Since you're afraid of danger, why don't we just perform the act of Chest Crushing Stone in front of Bailu Lu? Even if something happens, we can get medical attention immediately," Chen Li suggested.

"If you put it that way, I feel even more scared. Besides, the Dragon Girl probably doesn't have time to play around with us, right?" Sushang shook her head repeatedly.

Because of the potential for injury, some people perform dangerous stunts directly in front of renowned doctors. Why not simply ban these dangerous stunts altogether? This would reduce the likelihood of injury to those who might otherwise be harmed.

Don't you even consider the opinions of those who are about to get hurt?

For example, me.

"Don't worry, I have another plan."

"How do you have so many schemes?"

"Forget all that nonsense. Come on, everyone, follow me!"

"..."

When Sushang saw Chen Li change his clothes and sit at a stall that treated kidney deficiency, with Bailu, a Dragon Lady of the Healer's Apothecary, sitting next to him and looking at her and Guinaifen with expectant eyes, Sushang knew she was in trouble.

I'm afraid I won't survive this ordeal!

"Don't worry, Miss Sushang Chang, if you're going to perform Chest Crushing Stone, it shouldn't be a big problem, because the Xianzhou natives are all very strong. And I'll be right here with you, so nothing will happen." Upon hearing that the two of them were going to perform Chest Crushing Stone, Bailu, who had been somewhat bored, instantly perked up.

Sushang, please have faith in your self-healing abilities as a member of the Xianzhou natives.

Humans do have limits, but the Xianzhou natives do not.

Super Beasts can feel pain, but the Xianzhou natives... well, they definitely can.

"Uh... I... I'll even perform Chest Crushing Stone!" Sushang thought gritted her teeth, realizing she was already being held up here.

"Real?"

"But I have a request." Sushang put her hands on her hips.

"What are the requirements?"

"You be the boulder," Sushang said, pointing at Chen Li.

I can't be the only one who's unlucky!

I'm willing to take the fall, but someone has to be worse off than me!

"Ha?"

Chapter 119 Dragon Master Tao Ran's Invitation to Collaborate

"Cough cough... Chen Li, why are you so hard?" Sushang clutched her chest, feeling a little breathless.

"I was just about to say, how come you're so tough?" Chen Li complained, having been hit by the hammer.

The biggest difference between the Sushang of the Honkai: Star Rail and the Sushang of the Honkai is that the Sushang of the Honkai is called "magnanimous and tolerant", while the Sushang of the Honkai: Star Rail fits Chen Li's stereotype of a young girl.

"You! Cough cough, Dragon Girl, I feel like I'm going to die, please heal me quickly."

"Oh, here it comes."

Compared to Chen Li, who actually took a hit, it was Sushang was underneath, who was hit quite hard.

Because Chen Li has Friends Circle, and they are as hard as a boulder, the kind that can't be broken.

Sushang's attempt to drag Chen Li down with her was clearly a miscalculation.

"How are you feeling?" Chen Li approached Guinaifen, who was drinking one cup of milk tea and then throwing the other away.

"Thank you," Guinaifen said, somewhat disappointed but also with a lingering sense of satisfaction.

Although it doesn't feel good to have my defenses breached by my mother, it's still better than not having a mother at all.

Chen Li watched as Guinaifen's figure turned into dust and disappeared after she sincerely repented and vowed never to waste food again, but he hesitated to speak.

The punishment from a mother will manifest as a person's mother. Theoretically, this figure cannot be seen by anyone except the person being punished, but Chen Li, the blacksmith, is clearly an exception.

Now, Guinaifen is wondering if she can ask her mother not to say anything that might upset her when she sees her next time.

Or if I just wear an earplug, the other person can't hurt me, so I don't have to break down and I can still see my mom, right?

I, Guinaifen, am simply a genius!

Chen Li wondered if Guinaifen was maliciously exploiting bugs.

You can even find the bugs in Miraculous Item; you're even better than me, a Miraculous Forger.

"As a token of my gratitude, I would like to give you a very special autograph," Guinaifen said to Chen Li after a long pause.

"What signature?"

"You'll find out soon enough, but can I still use this tablecloth next time? I can still perform the Chest Crushing Stone act for you again."

"No!"

These words were not spoken by Chen Li, but by Sushang.

"I also have other special skills, such as catching bullets with my bare hands and eating noodles while upside down," Guinaifen said, hands on her hips.

"Really? I want to see someone catch a bullet with their bare hands." Chen Li nodded repeatedly.

Chen Li really wanted to see someone catch a bullet with their bare hands.

"Great, then next time you'll perform eating noodles upside down!" But Guinaifen seemed completely obedient.

It seems that Guinaifen is quite afraid of death.

"So you're just here to freeload, huh? Fine, if you want to borrow any of these Miraculous Item, feel free to come find me anytime, as long as you can find me." Chen Li said as he gifted Guinaifen Friends Circle Terminal.

Although Guinaifen's combat strength is not high, as a ranked player character, she is qualified to become one of Chen Li's Bond.

Guinaifen had just provided herself with nearly 50 Starstones, so using Starstones to manufacture a terminal would not be a loss at all.

Sushang wouldn't lose money, so Chen Li also gave Sushang a Friends Circle Terminal.

However, both of them used ordinary mobile phones, not virtual panels.

Chen Li did it on purpose.

Want to get the VIP virtual panel?

Then we'll have to upgrade it gradually.

This was also a decision Chen Li made to encourage spending among his friends on Friends Circle.

However, at present, Guinaifen and Sushang Chang can only add each other as friends by adding Friends Circle Terminal accounts, and cannot Miraculous Item group.

Because Chen Liqi's identity as a blacksmith has not yet been revealed in the game.

In other words, Guinaifen and Sushang can be considered as Chen Li's backup options.

The more backup options you have, the better.

"Is this the nickname you gave me? Is it because I'm a backup plan?" After adding Chen Li Friends Circle friend on Friends Circle Terminal and sending him a message, Guinaifen was lost in thought after discovering the special nickname Chen Li had given her on his phone.

"So what does 'backup plan' mean?" Sushang poked her head out and asked, puzzled.

"I don't know." Guinaifen shook her head blankly.

"On other planets, cars have tires, and if even one of the four tires blows out, the car won't run properly. That's when you need a spare tire. Spare tires are usually kept in the trunk, and their purpose is to ensure that a tire can be replaced promptly if it's damaged. So, a spare tire is like a friend who can help you in a critical moment," Chen Li explained earnestly.

"Oh, so our relationship has become this good? Here, this is my autographed gift for you. You're welcome. We'll be going now." After handing the special autograph to Chen Li, Guinaifen pulled Sushang away.

Chen Li, meanwhile, stared into thought at the gong in his hand bearing Guinaifen's signature.

Chen Li thought Guinaifen was going to give him black stockings or leg rings with Guinaifen's name on them. Oh well, what a disappointment.

"Is Guinaifen exchanging her own livelihood for yours?" Bailu complained from the side.

"Maybe... Speaking of which, could you hurry up? I'm really pressed for time." Chen Li turned to the planner next to him and said.

"..." The Aetherium Wars mini-game ad planner gave Chen Li a resentful look.

"So I've been wondering who this person next to you is? He seems to have been following you for a long time." Bailu looked at the game planner with a puzzled expression.

In fact, the game planner was right next to Chen Li while he was doing the Don't Cry Challenge Chen Li, and then he gave up and watched the ad.

Although this might draw criticism for his overly abstract behavior, there's an even more abstract Don't Cry Challenge, so it's perfectly fine.

Thanks to the game planner's efforts, Chen Li should be able to successfully obtain the "Advertisement" entry in about two hours.

"He's a good-for-nothing, baby. Never be like him in the future," Chen Li said, patting Bailu on the shoulder.

"Do you believe I'll quit right now?" the planner finally snapped.

"Do you believe I'll expose you on the Ethereum online forum right now?" Chen Li remained completely calm.

"Gulp!" The planner instantly conceded defeat.

Chen Li felt absolutely no pity for this kind of advertising that included a feature that would immediately redirect users to the app store to download the app whenever their eyes moved.

That's really despicable.

"Speaking of which, I've always felt that Chen Li, you're always doing nothing. Are you really that free?" Bailu said, puzzled.

"Enjoy your pastries properly, or your mother will scold you if you waste them," Chen Li said casually.

"I don't have a mother."

"Then you'd better watch out, your past life might pop out and curse you."

"Hmm, that sounds like a really interesting thing."
