The Artifact Forger from the Beginning of Collapse

"Conclusion: While I'm building the mecha you can combine with, I'll personally design a super-powerful robotic vacuum cleaner for you," ScrewGumm said seriously.

Screw Gum, the combiner mecha, doesn't plan to do it himself, but the robot vacuum cleaner does.

Screw Gum hoped to ensure that Chen Li wouldn't waste the opportunity to meet the Star God of Wisdom again for such a reason.

Faced with the Star God that countless scholars dream of, not only did he not feel any fear, but he even asked the other party to take the trash away?

Hagiwara, you bastard...

"Why did you come to such a strange conclusion?" Chen Li asked, puzzled.

"It's time to end the call. I've enjoyed chatting with you because every conversation with you makes me realize that the limits of carbon-based life are far greater than we think. This is very helpful for my research on the differences between organic and inorganic life." Screw Gum greeted Chen Li politely before hanging up the phone.

"...Screw Gum, is he cursing me?" Chen Li asked uncertainly.

"I don't know if he's cursing at you, but could you please keep an eye on Najenda on your WeChat Moments? After chatting with her for an hour, she seems to be acting more and more strange," Kaguya Houraisan reminded him while accepting food from Chen Li.

"Really?" Chen Li glanced at the chat history in the Oddities group while performing his duties.

According to Kaguya Houraisan, since she was competing on behalf of Chen Li, Chen Li was responsible to Kaguya Houraisan for everything except the competition.

For example, being responsible for feeding them.

Najenda's problem stemmed from the WeChat Moments terminal that Chen Li gave her when he casually let Night Raid and the others leave.

After all, once Chen Li finishes making the mecha, he'll have to send it to them, right?

Although Chen Li felt that the Revolutionary Army's high command might not necessarily be loyal to justice, the Revolutionary Army definitely had a higher proportion of people with ideals than the Empire, and Najenda was also a promising talent. Therefore, after Najenda joined the group, he suggested that she learn about the national systems of the worlds in which the group members lived from the members of the Oddity Group.

Although Najenda was still resentful that Chen Li wanted to use Esdeath as the pillar of the new empire's military strength, she was relieved when she heard Chen Li say that if Esdeath disobeyed, he would hang her up and whip her for three days and three nights.

Based on Najenda's understanding of Esdeath, Esdeath would never obey.

Esdeath was constantly being beaten and humiliated, which was equivalent to Esdeath not existing at all.

This makes sense.

If you ask why Najenda knows Esdeath so well, it's because Najenda was Esdeath's former right-hand woman.

“Najeta seems very curious about the systems of other countries.”

“Najeta is beginning to understand constitutional monarchy. In fact, the young emperor of the empire is just inexperienced and misled by his ministers. As a former imperial general, it is not incomprehensible that she wants to use this system.”

“Najeta is starting to learn about the presidential system. This aligns well with the Revolutionary Army's line of thinking, so it's normal for her to want to learn about it.”

“Najeta is beginning to understand the papacy. If the Way of Tranquility is to become the state religion in the future, it will need to establish a sound system.”

“Najeta is beginning to understand republicanism. Electing a head of state is democratic.”

"Holy crap, what does 'land reform' mean?"

"What does it mean to say that if you can change the world, change it thoroughly?"

"How come she's even more extreme than me?"

111

Chapter 111: Using Void Herald material cards to create wondrous items for Sirin, isn't that a bit hellish?

"No, is Najeta sick?" Chen Li opened his eyes early in the morning and sat up straight in bed.

Chen Li truly never expected that handing over the WeChat Moments terminal to Najeta would lead to this kind of thing.

Chen Li's original intention was simply to win over Najenda, after all, she was quite a talented person.

But heaven knows why he turned into an extremist.

Last night, I even messaged Chen Li privately, asking if I could go to the Revolutionary Army and turn all the bad guys in the Revolutionary Army into slimes.

If someone says there are bad people among the masses, the work cannot proceed.

She also said that Chen Li's arrival was just in time. If she hadn't heard about the attack on the minister and was therefore worried about the assassination attempt, she would have returned to the Revolutionary Army headquarters yesterday and might have missed the opportunity to learn valuable insights through her social circle.

Chen Li wasn't sure how many days Sayu and Iyeas were tortured by the noble family of Aria in the original story, but he figured it must have been quite a while.

After all, in the original storyline, the protagonist Tatsumi was taken back to the Night Raid headquarters some time after the Night Raid attack on the nobles, while Najenda returned from the Revolutionary Army headquarters.

But Chen Li knew that the revolutionary army was in trouble now.

"Is exchanging Imperial Peace for Imperial Arms... is that an equivalent exchange?" Chen Li pondered this question.

Because Chen Li could just steal the Imperial Arms himself, and probably even faster.

However, considering that if he could create a different ending, he might be able to obtain the Miracle Card, Chen Li compromised.

Oh well, it's just something I did casually anyway.

Using tools to purge the revolutionary army can also bring merit.

As long as the other party is sufficiently sinful, Chen Li will not lose money.

There are good people in the revolutionary army, that much is certain.

However, Chen Li did not believe that the rise of the revolutionary army was without the support of the Empire.

Every reshuffling of power and the rise of a new dynasty is often inextricably linked to the major powers within the old dynasty.

In this game of power, from beginning to end, only ordinary people suffer.

The empire in the world of Akame ga Kill! could exist for a thousand years, yet it was conquered by the Revolutionary Army in just a few years. To say that the Revolutionary Army did not have the support of imperial officials or nobles would be unbelievable.

Therefore, Najenda should also know that using the Revolutionary Army as a tool to shuffle the cards will not result in a more thorough shuffling.

But now outsiders have come.

Regardless of whether this outsider is despicable or not, the fact that he brings about a more thorough reshuffling of the game is a good thing.

It's at least better than cooperating with northern ethnic groups.

The revolutionary army that colluded with the northern ethnic minorities would naturally have to pay the price of land, which would naturally encourage the development of the northern ethnic minorities, and a war would be inevitable in the future.

Damn it, I don't have invincible power, so I have no choice but to compromise.

But if you have invincible power and still have to compromise, then what's the point of having that power?

Ha! Go forth, you despicable outsider! Let those arrogant demons and monsters witness your invincible power! With your raging magnetic field, smash all the scum in your path! Let them tremble in fear and howl in despair! Crush them, tear them apart, let them know—who truly rules this world! Go to war! Go to kill! Go to destroy! Hahahaha!

"Good! It's on fire!"

"Holy crap, how did it actually catch fire? Where did the fire come from?" Looking at his room, which was already starting to burn, Chen Li stared blankly at the flames floating in the air not far away.

The entry for "Heaven's Lost Property" is being extracted...

Progress: 3/5

Violence, Destruction, Desire, Fire, Burning, Loss of Control, Psychological Reflection...

After touching the flame and looking at the entries on it, Chen Li's mind went blank for a moment.

"I knew it! How could someone as peace-loving as me possibly want to use overwhelming power to oppress everyone? It must be this inner fire that made me so irritable." Chen Li quite naturally accepted the "friendship fee" from this world for the day.

However, Chen Li was still a little unaccustomed to the fact that the ceiling hadn't been smashed or penetrated today.

Chen Li casually summoned a forging table and threw the ball of flame into the Miracle Fire.

Although two small flames shot out when Chen Li caught the ball of flame, like two tiny fists punching Chen Li's palm, they still did not cause Chen Li any harm.

Clearly, this little thing cannot break Chen Li's friendship and bond.

Chen Li was not surprised to see 800 star stones arrive in his account.

This thing might also be one of the seeds that could destroy the world in the future.

But isn't this world a bit too turbulent? Everyone who comes here wants to kick them while they're down?

As Chen Li grabbed the flames and refined them in an instant, the charred room began to recover rapidly.

Chen Li felt more and more that his family couldn't be without Kaguya Houraisan.

It was just a moment of passion, yet it caused such a huge impact on the room. If this thing were to grow up, what would it be like?

"Wait a minute!" Suddenly realizing something, Chen Li immediately reached into the Miracle Flame and pulled the flame out.

As the flames receded, the primordial characters that had been faintly visible within the Miracle Fire began to dissipate.

"I just remembered, this thing is a barbecue wonder! It's such a waste to use it like this!"

Chen Li had always been troubled by the lack of a flame to help him grill his food, but the world handed this problem over to Chen Li's friend Fei, who easily solved it.

More importantly, Chen Li no longer had any extra crystals to store these entries.

Chen Li hasn't made a sale for several days.

Just yesterday, Chen Li beat up the main characters from the Akame ga Kill! world and they gave him 10 crystals.

This wasn't because Chen Li was strong enough, but because Chen Li's extraordinary artifact overwhelmed the invincible Imperial Arms in the world of Akame ga Kill!, creating a miracle.

Chen Li now has 111 crystals left, just enough to craft a one-star rare item.

Looking at the flame in front of him, which sometimes expanded and sometimes contracted, seemingly possessing life and filled with unruly spirit, Chen Li suddenly grabbed the Strange Item Forging Guide and slapped it.

Did I give you face?

Now that the flame of miracles has been ignited, Chen Li has no intention of extinguishing it immediately. Since Chen Li needs to create at least two wondrous items today, he plans to expend some energy first.

Chen Li threw a pair of scissors as tall as a person directly into the flames.
