The Artifact Forger from the Beginning of Collapse

Even if Qingque can use her WeChat Moments to adjust her online status to avoid Fu Xuan's divination, the "slacking off" tag might still be useful in the future.

Chen Li has recently been creating unusual items, and the nicknames given to Chen Li by "Miracle" are all related to the original text that adds more functions to Moments.

Thanks to those five negative artifacts, Chen Li has now learned to read more characters.

If you're asking when the online status adjustment feature will be available on WeChat Moments?

Chen Li could only say... that a new folder had already been created.

As for what the first social circle system was, it was definitely the payment system!

How can you get stronger without spending money?

Chapter 100: Draw the Heart of God? Qingque, are you a gambling saint?

Extracting the entry for the term "摸鱼" (moyu).

Progress: 18/64 (Witnessing Qingque slacking off after completing her duties will increase the progress)

"Oh..." Qingque, who had originally wanted to try, immediately gave up struggling.

Fine, I guess I'm better off being a lazy bum.

Self-motivation? Doesn't exist.

"Chen Li, you have to take responsibility for me."

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Chen Li, who was forging a strange object, didn't even turn his head.

"I finally decided to work hard and seriously, but you ruined it all with just one sentence. Isn't that a huge blow to me?"

"Ha, okay, I can take responsibility for you."

"Uh, I thought of you as a brother to slack off with, Xian, you actually lust after me?" Qingque subconsciously put her hands in front of her body.

"Qingque...do you know who would be the first one to get arrested if we walked hand in hand down the street?"

"Of course it's you, the wanted criminal. Who else could it be but me?" Qingque said matter-of-factly.

"Of course it's you, the one dating a minor, not me, the wanted criminal!" Chen Li retorted.

"...That makes sense."

"So Qingque, you should be responsible for me."

"Huh? Maybe we shouldn't talk about this anymore. How's your artifact forging? Let me see?" Qingque felt she couldn't argue with Chen Li, and if they kept going down this path, she might actually have to take responsibility for Chen Li.

Qingque's rhetoric was very skillful, but the power of her statement "I am a minor" was comparable to "You've been beaten by a monkey."

The laws protecting minors in Xianzhou are very strict.

Qingque moved closer to Chen Li and watched as countless miraculous flames flew as the iron hammer fell, making the strange creature's form even more complete.

“Even after witnessing the forging process, it’s hard to believe that such a magical item could be created so casually. I originally thought your forging scene would be much grander,” Qingque said.

"The scene of me forging a rare artifact for the first time in this world was indeed grand. Tens of thousands of people were silently watching you, and there was a learned venerable one spying on you above you... who might be spying on me right now." Chen Li looked up suspiciously, but found nothing.

Chen Li's identification ability can help him observe the entries on every living thing and even inanimate object, but he cannot prevent being spied on beyond his line of sight.

To identify an entry, you must first "see" it.

"If the Venerable Master is watching you, does that mean He sees me standing right next to you? What if He discovers my extraordinary talent and recruits me into the Genius Club?" Qingque was a little worried.

"Don't try to change the subject. Remember to take responsibility for me."

"You really only think about yourself!" Qingque said angrily when she realized that her attempt to change the subject had failed.

"Ah, the artifact is finished."

"What effect?" Qingque looked curiously at the glasses Chen Li picked up from the forging table.

【Demon Eye Kill】: Can be used to suppress special abilities in the area covered by the glasses.

That's right, this "Demon Eye Killer" is called that because, as a pair of glasses, it can only conveniently cover the eyes.

This can be described as an unconventional money-saving technique.

This artifact is indeed very economical in terms of crystals, costing only five crystals and using only one entry—【Suppression】, from a talisman from the world of Inuyasha.

Although 5 crystals may sound like a small amount, and the "Suppression" attribute isn't particularly prominent, the saying still holds true: if a beginner's artifact can't fight the world, can't it at least fight you?

"Sigh, Chen Li, what do you think would happen if the Grand Diviner put these glasses on his own Dharma Eye?" Qing Que asked, puzzled after hearing Chen Li's description of the glasses.

"???" Chen Li glanced at Qing Que in surprise, then fell into deep thought.

Is the Dharma Eye... even considered an eye?

Forget it?

It should work.

"If nothing unexpected happens, if Fu Xuan wears these glasses, her divine eye will lose its ability to help her with divination and will only be able to be used as a charging port," Chen Li said after thinking for a moment.

"Charging port?"

"Never mind what I said. Would you like to try it on? If you're not interested, I'll have to hand it over to the customer," Chen Li said.

"No need. Speaking of which, Chen Li, is the return on your painstaking efforts in creating these rare artifacts really that high?" Qingque asked the question that had been bothering her for a long time.

"The job of a Rare Craftsman is to forge rare items, hand them over to users, and let the users create miracles. The miracles they create will then be returned to me as Miracle Crystals. To be honest, even if the client doesn't pay a forging fee, I can still make a profit from the difference," Chen Li said while handing over the glasses.

"But since they're all forging rare items, of course they'll be forged for the person who pays the highest price, right?"

"Pretty much. Unless he's the first mentor I meet in some world, in which case I'll give away half the price of the artifacts I forge for him, to help expand the market."

"Like me?"

“That’s right, so you’re lucky. Although you’re not the first guide I’ve met, the guide before you was killed by the Star God of Hunting. So you got this 50% off coupon.” Chen Li nodded.

Robins and Sundays?

They count too, but Chen Li only had Qing Que as his guide on the Immortal Ship.

Xianzhou is a great place; there are tons of entries here.

Although Chen Li did not discuss with Jing Yuan the reward for creating the artifact to suppress the demonic body, this was one of the small lessons Chen Li learned from encountering countless troubles as a transmigrator, on maximizing his gains.

If the payment is agreed upon in advance, that's called a transaction, and the payment is fixed.

Afterwards, without saying a word, the other party will personally give you the payment. Not only will they give you more money, but they'll also thank you and owe you a favor. At that point, they'll genuinely be willing to share anything good they have.

If we were to follow the customs of the Immortal Boat, then at least ten or eight Alliance Jade Signs would be given to Chen Li.

Free is the most expensive!

However, the minimum requirement for this method is that you must have a big enough fist to cause significant damage to the other party when you are unhappy.

I can do without it, but you can't not give it to me.jpg

If Chen Li can forge a wondrous object that can suppress the Demonic Yin Body, then it wouldn't be surprising if he could forge a wondrous object that can immediately detonate the Demonic Yin Body, right?

Jing Yuan, being a smart man, clearly realized this, so before Chen Li had done anything, he gave Chen Li a divine amber body.

A person who can become the head of a power may be bad, but he is not stupid. Just like this morning when Screw Gumu and Chen Li "complained" that the Interstellar Peace Company visited Chen Li five times in one morning in order to get his contact information.

They were saying things like, "We'd do anything to forge a marvel for the Interstellar Peace Corporation," which were incomprehensible to most people.

Chen Li felt that the Interstellar Peace Company, completely unaware of the purpose of the artifact he had created, was simply looking for a reason to send him money and establish contact.

"Besides that, do you have any other benefits?" Qingque asked.

“Yes. As a transmigrator, I can obtain star stones simply by creating disturbances in this world that wouldn’t normally exist.” Chen Li nodded.

"So you can only obtain Star Stones by creating ripples? Can't you use indirect methods? For example, you influence me, and I influence the world, thus bringing you benefits?" Qingque continued to ask.

“Sure. For example, when I give away rare items, I usually include a Star Stone reward.” Chen Li nodded again.

“Then I have a plan…” Qingque held up an index finger.

"Stop with your little schemes. That should be my word," Chen Li retorted.

"???"

"Ahem, please continue."

"Chen Li, have you considered building an employment system within your WeChat Moments?" Qing Que asked.

"Hiring system?"

"That's right. After all, your friends on social media are just sitting around doing nothing. You can use some currency to let them influence the world and earn Star Stones for you. Isn't that making money while sitting at home?"

"Qingque, are you a genius?"

"Furthermore, after you issue the currency, it will allow other people in your social circle to exchange resources. For example, if someone urgently needs help, they can use this currency to hire others to help them. Although you didn't personally cause this commotion, as the intermediary, you should also be able to obtain Star Stones." Seeing that Chen Li seemed interested, Qing Que continued to add fuel to the fire.

“That’s right. If they’re not from the same world, then I, who provided the social media platform, should have gained even more Star Stones.” Chen Li nodded repeatedly.

“Moreover, if the currency you issue is actually something with real value like Starstones, you might be able to obtain even more Starstones, because Starstones are also part of your influence,” Qingque continued.

"That makes sense. So what exactly do you want?"

"Lend me two coins." Qingque spread out her hands.

"Huh?" Chen Li was taken aback.
