The Artifact Forger from the Beginning of Collapse

Half a minute later, Gui Naifen burst into tears!

Chen Li simply handed over the nearly empty tissues next to him, not at all surprised.

Chen Lidu wrote a note next to the text: "Single-parent families and orphans, please proceed with caution," but...

But this title may also provoke a backlash from these people.

Chen Li didn't care, he just kept looking at the words that were being generated above his head.

Extracting the entry for "Orphan Killer"...

Progress: 30/100 (Successfully breaking the orphan's defenses using an attack related to the mother will increase the progress)

118

Chapter 118 Chen Li: If you want to break a boulder on your chest, I'll be the boulder.

"Thank you all for participating. Today's 'Don't Cry' challenge is now over." After the last challenger finished eating the food on the tablecloth, Chen Li shook the tablecloth and said to the crowd still gathered around his stall.

Joining in the fun is one of the biggest characteristics of the people of Xianzhou, so as word spread, the number of people in front of Chen Li's stall kept increasing.

"Sigh, is it over already? It wasn't even my turn yet."

"Please, let me try just once, just once, I'm sure I can win."

"I'm still a 50-year-old kid, so could you please return my 1000 credits challenge fee?"

"What do you mean 50 years old? That's definitely a child. He's probably still a student, right?"

"Students? Even if an animal came, it wouldn't make a difference."

The crowd was quite disappointed by Chen Li's decision to close the stall, especially the challengers who were about to face him.

Although each challenger needs to submit 1000 credits to attempt the challenge, and no one has succeeded so far, on the other hand...

All the challengers said that the food they conjured from the tablecloth was so bad it made them want to cry, but no one ever said it was bad.

Buy a tablecloth of food for 1000 credits. You won't lose out or be cheated. And if you succeed in the challenge, you'll even get 100 million credits as a bonus.

Therefore, Chen Li unusually refrained from using lofty moral praise for this stall event.

Because Chen Li wasn't being immoral this time.

This is considered a benefit for the family!

"Mother" is also "family"...

I forgot the beginning, I forgot the end, but it was all so funny.

So, after Chen Li repeatedly emphasized that today's challenge was over, and seeing that there was no more excitement to watch, the people from the Immortal Boat and some outsiders gathered in front of the stall gradually dispersed.

Chen Li was quite satisfied with the setup of the booth this time.

Those who watched the spectacle enjoyed themselves, the challengers got delicious food, the orphans gained a mother, and Chen Li gained credits, star stones, entry progress, a tablecloth user manual, and fed the Herrscher of the Void a lot.

We all have a bright future!

With the experimental data kindly provided by these challengers, Chen Li roughly understood how to use this tablecloth.

For example, this tablecloth is typically a square with sides of 2 meters. Using it will result in a table full of food, the types of which will vary depending on individual preferences. However, by folding the tablecloth, the smaller the folds, the less food will appear.

As Chen Li casually obtained food from different guests and fed it to the Herrscher of the Void, he not only figured out the Herrscher of the Void's tastes but also summarized more instructions on how to use the tablecloth.

First of all, if you use a tablecloth to conjure up food and then waste it, then the same person will definitely be the one who suffers.

Secondly, if you use a tablecloth to create food and someone else wastes it, then the person who wasted the food is the one who suffers.

However, if the other person is disturbed while eating and wastes food, they will not be punished.

Furthermore, considering that "Mom's punishment" is not very harmful but extremely insulting, and may cause the other party to be completely enraged after breaking their defenses, it is not recommended to use it against the enemy.

Secondly, it's not always the mother who wastes food after using a tablecloth.

This is something Chen Li discovered after many experiments, because some people don't call her "Mom," but "Grandma," etc., basically people who fit the image of a mother.

Therefore, if Kaguya Houraisan used this tablecloth and wasted food, the person that appeared would not be Tsukiyomi, but rather Yagokoro Eirin.

Finally... if you have two people in your mind who perfectly fit the image of a mother, and they are equally matched in terms of "motherly value," then congratulations... you will receive double the punishment.

Wasting one meal resulted in gaining two mothers; you've really struck gold, kid.

After Chen Li finished packing up his stall, he was about to randomly select passersby to give away kidney deficiency medicine for free when a small hand tugged at the corner of his clothes.

"Um, Gui Naifen? Is something the matter?" Chen Li turned his head and saw Gui Naifen, whose eyes were still a little red.

"Can I use your tablecloth again? I'll pay for it." Gui Naifen's tone was filled with three parts disappointment, three parts sadness, three parts expectation, and 91 parts nostalgia.

"You're not planning to spend 1000 credits to get my artifact for free, are you? Can you tell me why?" Seeing Gui Naifen's expression, Chen Li suddenly became interested.

"No, although the food that came out of this tablecloth was indeed delicious, but... but I just wanted to see my mother one more time," Gui Naifen quickly explained.

"Huh?" Chen Li tilted his head.

However, Chen Li quickly understood Gui Naifen's meaning, so he hurriedly summoned the Strange Item Forging Guide and added another item to the memo.

Orphan tablecloths are addictive.

While the punishment from the orphan's tablecloth mother was certainly disheartening, at least it allowed the orphan to see his mother.

This isn't an insult; it's just stating a fact.

Chen Li suddenly remembered that in the guide to the Herrscher of the Void that Kaguya Houraisan gave him, she mentioned that he should use an addictive item to control the Herrscher of the Void. This tablecloth seemed to be very suitable.

"Please help Xiao Gui Zi. I can also contribute some of my salary, although I'm just a newbie and my salary isn't very high." Su Chang, who had been standing next to Gui Naifen, spoke up again at this moment.

"Well... I'm not short of money." Chen Li looked Gui Naifen and Su Chang up and down, but the two hesitated to speak.

Chen Li is not short of money because he has the entire secret lineage of the Medicine King behind him. If he needs money, he can get it from Dan Shu.

"Then, what else do you need? An autograph?" Gui Naifen 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, Gui Naifen 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.

"Xiao Guizi, you're a street performer, right?"

"Yes."

"I want to see someone break a boulder with their chest!" Chen Li held up one index finger.

"Huh? Now?"

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

“But breaking a boulder on one’s chest requires two people to work together…” Gui Naifen 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, Su Chang subconsciously took a step back.

"Su Chang, we're good friends, right?"

“Yes, 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." Su Chang shook her head.

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

"Su Chang, please, come with me and perform the 'breaking a boulder on your chest' act! I beg you. This is my lifelong request." Gui Naifen grabbed Su Chang's hand.

“Sigh, but breaking a boulder on my chest 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?” Su Chang was halfway through her sentence when she suddenly noticed that Gui Naifen’s expression seemed a little off.

"..."

"Right?!"

“Su Chang, you yourself said that breaking a large rock on your chest is very dangerous, and you are quite strong…” Gui Naifen hesitated before continuing.

“It would be dangerous for me to break that big rock, no way!” Su Chang resolutely refused Gui Naifen’s request.

You really only think about yourself!

“Alas, I have a plan.” Just when Su Chang felt that this matter seemed very dangerous, Chen Li suddenly jumped out.

"what?"

"Su Chang, have you ever heard of the White Dew?"

"Oh, is that the medicine-carrying dragon girl Bai Lu? I've heard she's a divine healer, even capable of bringing people back to life." Su Chang nodded.

Although Su Chang had just transferred from Yao Qing to Luofu Immortal Boat, she had heard of such a famous person before.

“Since you’re afraid of danger, why don’t we just perform the act of breaking a boulder on our chest in front of Bai 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?" Su Chang 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?

like me.

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