The Artifact Forger from the Beginning of Collapse

Chapter 106 Chen Li: Call the game planner from Interstellar Peace Company out here!

"Chen Li, do you really think you can learn anything from reading these dark magic books? They're from completely different worldviews, aren't they?" Qing Que saw Chen Li reading a magic book before she went out in the afternoon, and when she came back, she saw that Chen Li was still reading a magic book.

Don't ask what Qingque went to do. She went to buy a taro bubble tea with extra toppings, double the taro paste, and triple the sugar, as an offering to Fu Xuan, under Chen Li's guidance.

Qingque only hoped that Fu Xuan would go easy on her after he learned her identity, at least for the sake of this milk tea.

“I can learn it,” Chen Li nodded.

Dark magic in another world is, simply put, another form of control over energy. Although the worldviews are different, never underestimate the professional level of a craftsman!

No matter what kind of random thing it is, as long as its level is below 3, Chen Li can quickly learn to speak!

With a passive ability comparable to a rule-level skill, Chen Li doesn't have to worry about being at a loss after seeing the martial arts manual.

This easily solves a problem—if you were transported to a martial arts world and successfully obtained the Lingbo Weibu manual before Duan Yu, you wouldn't have to worry about being so angry that you'd spit out blood when you saw this bunch of scribbles and extremely professional terms related to human meridians.

You think the secret manual is given away with a simple click upon logging in?

No, no, no, if you traveled back to ancient times, you would be completely illiterate and wouldn't even be able to speak the language.

"Can you cast a spell? Let me see," Qingque asked curiously.

"Probably not." Chen Li shook his head.

"why?"

"I do know most of these spells, and I've even raised them to Lv3, but the problem is that the magic power in my body is only enough to create a small fireball. If I were to cast a spell for you, I'd probably lose a year of my lifespan." Chen Li shrugged.

Chen Li didn't know if this property was unique to the magic world of Yuri Rin, or if it was a property shared by magic in all worlds—that is, the ability to use life force instead of magical power to perform magic.

"Sigh, then I can't help but ask... why don't you create a magical artifact that can resurrect you? That way you can waste your life at will, wouldn't that be like having an infinite mana bar?" Qingque held up one finger.

“Are you perhaps a genius? Indeed…” Upon hearing Qingque’s words, Chen Li suddenly had an inspiration.

Chen Li has a social circle that can help him withstand fatal damage, a guide to forging rare items that allows him to teleport home in just three seconds, and even a blank miracle card that allows him to revive unconditionally.

So here's the question... Is there any cheap and effective resurrection item that would allow Chen Li to resurrect someone without wasting the expensive Miracle Card? Or would it allow Chen Li to resurrect someone else?

Yes, some friends do. There are cheap and effective resurrection items like this.

The term "Heroic Spirit" is one example, but it is not universally applicable.

Because not everyone is remembered by history and worthy of being called a hero.

While reviving someone would seem too easy if it were too simple, customers still have a need for it.

Customers who want to create a world with so-and-so are practically everywhere in anime.

In the world of Honkai Impact 3rd, there is a star god named "Mutual," who governs the balance of destiny and is one of the oldest star gods.

Its duty is to maintain the balance of the major forces in the universe, to divide concepts into binary categories that can be transformed into one another, thereby making the positive and negative in the universe equal.

The main reason why no one can see this star god is that He has integrated His own will into the logic of the universe's movement, eternally maintaining the balance and stability of all things in the world.

Speaking in human language is in accordance with the Tao.

Obsessive-compulsive disorder reaching god-like status, can you handle it?

Chen Li had reason to suspect that the issue of the demonic body of the immortal race was orchestrated by Hu.

If Chen Li could create a wondrous object that could revive living beings at will, it would naturally attract attention from the world.

But what's the problem?

Now that Chen Li has become a craftsman specializing in rare artifacts, he can just do whatever makes him happy.

If you're not happy, then come and fight me!

"Tsk, no wonder the Miracle System has destroyed so many worlds in the past. It can control power beyond life and death at will. Who wouldn't get arrogant?" Chen Li sighed.

"Since you've given me such a good idea, Qingque, what kind of magic do you want to see? I'll show it to you," Chen Li said.

"Ah, aren't you afraid of shortening your lifespan?"

"Actually, it can't be considered a shortening of lifespan, but rather an impact on one's destiny due to the depletion of life force. However, life force is something that can be easily replenished by eating something." Chen Li waved his hand.

Because it has food-loving cells.

For individuals with strong individual abilities, restoring vitality is relatively simple, and for Chen Li, it's even simpler.

If you lack vitality, then just consume vitality, right?

As long as it's not something like dirt or ore, Chen Li can gain some vitality when he eats food.

"Then, in that case, aren't we Immortal Ship people the most suitable race to learn magic and life-saving techniques?" Qingque's eyes lit up.

"If you put it that way... then you're right." Chen Li nodded reluctantly.

The vitality of the Celestials is evident to all... After falling onto a planet during a cosmic war, even with their heads cut off and stitched back up, they were still able to fight their way from the South Heavenly Gate to the North Heavenly Gate, ravaging the entire planet. How can you say that the vitality of such a race is not tenacious?

Or rather, all beings blessed with abundance possess a normal life recovery buff.

"Coach, I want to learn black magic!"

"Okay, I'll teach you!"

……

"You really are the worst class of students I've ever taught! I've spent 100 years of my life demonstrating magic to you, and you still can't even cast a small fireball!" Chen Li pointed at Qing Que.

"I just can't learn it." Qingque squatted in the corner, holding her head, looking utterly dejected.

This was the first time Qingque had experienced the charm of being a poor student.

Qingque consistently achieved a score of 60 in every subject throughout her school years, making her a true genius at grading.

After the teachers discovered this, they pulled Qingque aside and said that this child was destined for greatness if he studied hard, but Qingque didn't care.

The reason why Qingque's grades have always been just passing, and even after so many years in the Taibu Si, he is still just an ordinary diviner, is because... Qingque can actually get full marks.

The mindset of wanting to get 100 points but getting 60 points is completely different from the mindset of being able to get 100 points but only wanting to get 60 points.

Qingque really wants to learn dark magic, but she just can't.

Qingque is a little vulnerable.

"Forget it, I'm not teaching you anymore. If I teach you any more, I'll go crazy. Let me eat something to recover." Feeling completely drained, Chen Li took out the local specialty that Garden Lily Bell had given him and started munching on it.

The flesh of the evil god tasted surprisingly delicious, and perhaps due to the little evil god's constitution, her tail meat really only had one bone, the rest was all meat, making it super convenient to eat.

"Chen Li, aren't you an ordinary person? Why are you still so young after spending 100 years of your life force?" Qing Que naturally chose to change the subject.

"Oh, the level of the Rare Item Forging Master can extend lifespan. At my current level, living for a thousand or eight hundred years shouldn't be a problem," Chen Li said.

"Then let's continue forging artifacts. Didn't you want to create a resurrection artifact?" Qingque, who no longer wanted to learn magic, changed the subject again.

Magic, my mortal enemy!

“That works too… The flesh of the little evil god is really good. Besides restoring vitality, it can also restore the energy consumed when forging magical artifacts.” Chen Li nodded.

"If you're going to create a resurrection artifact, what type do you want to create?"

"Um... wait a minute, let me ask a professional." After thinking for a moment, Chen Li opened his WeChat Moments, selected a contact, and posted the question.

[Old Man]: Silver Wolf, I have a question for you.

[Silver Wolf]: Speak quickly, I'm busy fighting the boss. Wait, aren't you fighting the boss too?

[Dad]: Uh, how about voice input?

[Silver Wolf]: Why don't I have this function?

[Dad]: Nonsense, how can a regular terminal be the same as a deluxe VIP terminal? The highest-end terminal can even perform holographic projection interaction. ScrewGumm uses this one.

[Silver Wolf]: What? Screw Gum has a top-tier version? I'll have one too!

[Dad]: 88 billion credits, thank you for your patronage.

[Silver Wolf]: What kind of terminal is so expensive? Why don't you just rob it? I can't afford it even if I sell it.

[Dad]: Sigh, what nonsense are you spouting? Don't you have a bounty of 51 billion? Just surrender once, have your partner rescue you once, surrender again, and be rescued once more, and you'll have enough, right?

[Silver Wolf]: ...Or tell me what question you want to ask me?

[Dad]: Here's the thing, I want to create a resurrection artifact. I'd like to ask if there's a convenient and quick way to resurrect someone in the Star Peace Company game?

[Silver Wolf]: Resurrection Coin?

[Dad]: No, that's too virtual. It would be best if this kind of thing existed in real-world competitive games, and everyone knew about it.

[Silver Wolf]: Oh, you mean... there really is. Ever played Etherfront? They recently released a really outrageous in-game mini-game where if you lose a match, you can watch a 30-second ad to revive.

[Dad]: It seems... it's not impossible. Thanks.

[Silver Wolf]: Don't thank me yet. Tell me how you want to repay me. We're competitors now.

[Dad]: Here's what we'll do. I'll give you a fragment of the Deluxe VIP Edition terminal. Collect 10 fragments and you can exchange them for the Deluxe VIP Edition terminal. How about it?

[Silver Wolf]: Okay! But... you wouldn't be like some of the unscrupulous games from Interstellar Peace Company, where after I collect 9 fragments, they give me another 0.9 fragments, and the remaining 0.1 fragment requires 9 diamonds and 9 gold coins, and it goes on indefinitely, right?

[Dad]: This is now an automatic reply. Do not disturb while in the game.

Silver Wolf: ...Probably not, right?

"Screw Gum, I need to discuss something. Could you call the game designer from the Etherfronts in-game mini-game to Xianzhou? And have him bring his tools of the trade." Chen Li once again turned to his only remaining connection.

As for Silver Wolf's suspicions?
