The Artifact Forger from the Beginning of Collapse

Conservatives think radicals are too conservative.

Radicals think conservatives 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 adventure world. Maybe you can even gain another world that you can use as a base." Kaguya Houraisan 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 Garden Lily a tablecloth that could conjure up delicious snacks anytime, anywhere.

If we just tamper with this strange object, wouldn't that satisfy both Garden Lily's request 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 Garden Lily Ling? 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 Shikon Jewel, 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 Kaguya Houraisan'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 bewitching power of Honkai consciousness is only so-so, after all, Honkai can be bewitched, but Herrschers can also ignore bewitching." Kaguya Houraisan complained.

The Honkai consciousness is actually somewhat mentally unstable.

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

Did the Herald of Knowledge 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 star stone, 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 marvel, a marvel 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 he 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 picked 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 his 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 Strange Item 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.

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

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

Cheng's dad is fine too.

Chen Li can now extract terms 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, Screwgoom, this is my lifelong request."

"...What are you going to do now?" Screw Gum 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 a member of the Genius Club, Screw Gum had never seen someone like Chen Li who never played by the rules, so out of caution, Screw Gum had to ask.

"Save the world!" Chen Li said firmly.

"Hmm?" Although Screw Gum didn't understand what Chen Li meant by "saving the world," Screw Gum felt that Chen Li's serious expression meant that something important must be going on.

So Screwgoom didn't hesitate to lend out his Genius Club 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," Screwgoom said understandingly.

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

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

"Just kidding. Screws, 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.

One time, he used it to ask the little fairy, so that the fairy could teach Chen Li the original script anytime, anywhere. Another time, he used it to ask about the Myriad Phenomena Divination, so that Chen Li could better understand the effects of this strange object.

“Just go do what you need to do,” Screwgoom said again.

"it is good."

Chen Li quickly obtained ScrewGumu's phone, and this time he easily accessed ScrewGumu's account.

Considering that the phone might have poor signal in the non-Honkai Starry Sky Railway world, Chen Li urgently contacted Qing Que and asked her to bring him over.

"Are you kidding me? It's Sunday, I was hoping to sleep in." Qingque, who had finally gotten a day off but was woken up by Chen Li early in the morning, sat on her bed, feeling that her resentment could feed an evil sword immortal.

Chen Li remained silent, only continuing to pluck out star stones.

"Thank you, boss." Upon seeing the 10 star stones in her hand, Qingque immediately put on a fawning smile.

"I preferred your defiant attitude just now." Chen Li rolled his eyes at Qing Que, then took out the Miracle Crystal and began engraving words on Screw Gumu's phone screen.

"Oh, right, Qingque, remember to follow the Genius Club's official account, Screw Gum," Chen Li said casually.

"Huh? Okay." Qingque was a little confused, but she still followed Chen Li's instructions and opened her phone to follow Luosigumu's account.

Just as Qingque was about to exit her phone after following the post, she discovered that Luosigumu had posted an update.

Screw Gum: Kafka (picture), be good, call me Mom!

"Mom?" Qingque blurted out instinctively when she saw the picture of the handsome and dashing Star Core Hunter Kafka in the information posted by Screw Gum.

Chen Li, meanwhile, was looking up at the words above her head.

Extracting the entry for "Call Mom"...

Progress: 146546/100000000 (100 million)

Moreover, the progress is accelerating rapidly.

"Hmm, something feels off?" Chen Li looked at the entry with some uncertainty.

Oh well, whatever. At worst, we can just break the entry apart later.

Because of Screw Gum's widespread fame as a member of the Genius Club, the 1 million progress was quickly reached in less than two minutes.

Upon seeing this, Chen Li deleted the post and then silently edited another one.

ScrewGumm: Sorry, my account was just hacked by Star Core Hunter Silver Wolf. How could Star Core Hunter be so mean!

"......" by Qingque.

Qingque watched Chen Li operate silently, not believing that this method of randomly spreading memes could be faked.

"......" by Screw Gum.

Screw Gum was wondering what kind of trouble Chen Li was up to.

"......" by Silver Wolf.

Silver Wolf and Chen Li had been playing the game for a whole day and night, and just when they were feeling dizzy and lightheaded, they glanced at their phone messages and the sky fell down!

Who stole ScrewGumm's account?

I?

This is slander!

Damn it, how could Screwgoom be so wicked!
