The Artifact Forger from the Beginning of Collapse

The light pierced through the human body, through the deck, and through the material, yet left no trace and caused no injury.

This strange phenomenon spread extremely widely, instantly reaching the entire Black Tower space station.

Strangely, when this pink light spread throughout the Black Tower Space Station and was about to fly towards the nearby Azure Star, the light abruptly stopped after extending a certain distance, making the entire Black Tower Space Station seem to be enveloped by a huge pink sphere of light.

"Thud!" The crisp sound of the object hitting the ground rang out.

When the light disappeared, Chen Li unsurprisingly picked up the pink heart-shaped ornament from the ground and looked up at his two "friends".

"嘤嘤嘤?"

"嘤嘤嘤?"

What appeared before Chen Li was a cute little girl who was just over a meter tall, with a unique style that was delightful to behold.

Their current appearance is instantly recognizable as Nguyen Mai and Da Hei Ta, and their clothing has changed as their bodies have shrunk.

But what's most eye-catching is that both of the little cuties are carrying a basket, and from Chen Li's perspective, you can see that it's filled with snacks that are very much in line with their personal styles.

Black Tower's little basket contained candy, while Nguyen Mai's little basket contained packaged pastries.

The next moment, Xiao Daheita and Xiao Ruan Mei did the same thing: they reached into the basket, took out their snacks, and handed them to Chen Li.

"Thank you." After taking the snacks, Chen Li patted the big black tower's head, and then patted Ruan Mei's head.

The Great Black Tower did not resist Chen Li's actions. Although Ruan Mei had some resistance to Chen Li's actions, it was not strong, and Chen Li eventually succeeded in touching her.

It perfectly matches the characteristics of the strange objects that Chen Li observed: although people were turned into whimpering monsters, the concept of "relationships" was preserved.

"嘤嘤嘤!"

"嘤嘤嘤!"

After Chen Li accepted their snacks, it was clear that the two little cuties were very happy, and then they started exchanging snacks.

However, after receiving each other's snacks, they did not put the snacks into their baskets, but instead put them into other pockets.

"Aww!" The two adorable creatures cheered again after distributing the snacks and started running towards other areas of the space station.

Chen Li followed behind the two, observing them.

After the two little ones skillfully navigated the elevators and automatic doors to reach the other half of the Black Tower Space Station, Chen Li could see that there were also many researchers who had transformed into adorable little creatures within the Black Tower Space Station.

These adorable little creatures are also distributing the snacks from their baskets.

The researchers around them, who hadn't turned into these adorable little creatures, didn't give them any strange looks. Instead, they accepted the snacks and continued their work as if nothing was wrong.

The whole scene was chaotic yet orderly.

Even with the two adorable creatures, Daheita and Ruan Mei, mixed in, they still stand out quite a bit.

However, neither Daheita nor Nguyen Mai shared their snacks with any of the researchers, and the researchers did not approach Daheita and Nguyen Mai, ignoring them completely.

It seems that these cuties also have their own criteria for judging who they give snacks to.

Later, their snacks were gradually distributed... When Ruan Mei passed by the Black Tower doll, she would give some snacks to the Black Tower doll, ignoring the researchers. The Big Black Tower, on the other hand, gave its snacks to... Peipei who was passing by, while also ignoring the researchers.

Finally, the two arrived at Estella's location. The Great Black Tower shared his last snacks with Estella, while Nguyen Mai, after giving Estella a few snacks, still had a few packaged pastries left in her basket.

Estelle wanted to touch the Great Black Tower's head, but the Great Black Tower refused. Instead, it shook hands and tried to touch Ruan Mei's head, but Ruan Mei refused decisively. A layer of light shielded Ruan Mei, preventing anyone from getting any closer.

Ruan Mei seemed a little disappointed when she realized she still had snacks. After looking around, she saw Chen Li again, ran up to him, and handed over the snacks she was holding.

"What happened?" After distributing the snacks in the basket, Daheita reverted to her original mature and elegant demeanor.

"Snap!" Chen Li snapped his fingers, and a pink light flashed in the eyes of the big black tower. Then, it looked in surprise at Xiao Ruan Mei, who was standing in front of Chen Li and handing him snacks.

It seems that they were completely unaware of Xiao Ruan Mei's existence.

"Wow, how adorable Ruan Mei is! Let me hug her..." Upon seeing this, Da Heita immediately ran over.

Ruan Mei did not reject the hug from Da Heita; instead, she kept stuffing the snacks she hadn't given away into Chen Li's outstretched hands.

After Ruan Mei's basket was emptied, a circular shield gently deflected the Great Black Tower, and in the soft light, Ruan Mei returned to her original state.

Upon seeing the recovered Nguyen Mai, Da Hei Ta gave an awkward yet polite smile.

“Well, so… I’m the one you’re researching, right?” Ruan Meihan, now understanding, “smiled” at Chen Li and Daheita.

Nguyen Mai has a beautiful smile, but it seems... that her smile hides a knife.

"It turns out that you can't hide the look in someone's eyes when they want to kill them. Big Black Tower, you've really gone too far! This time, I'm going to side with my 'family' or not!" Chen Li silently stood next to Ruan Mei, pointing and gesturing at Big Black Tower.

"Huh?" Chen Li, how could you have the nerve to go to the other side? That's a rare artifact you created!

And the words you mentioned were all ones I had already thought of!

199

Chapter 199 "Meng Ying Shen" has already shown signs of human-to-human transmission!

"..." Ruan Mei smiled as she looked at Chen Li and the Big Black Tower.

"..." Chen Li and Da Heita looked at each other.

"He created the artifact." The Great Black Tower suddenly pointed at Chen Li.

"She activated the artifact," Chen Li said, pointing to the Great Black Tower.

“We’re doing this for your own good.” The next moment, Chen Li and Da Heita both turned to look at Ruan Mei and said.

Ruan Mei remained silent, simply playing with the pink heart in her hand.

If Chen Li and Daheita hadn't personally confirmed that this was a newly crafted one-star artifact that had caused both Daheita and Ruan Mei to fall victim to the same attack, Ruan Mei would have had a hard time noticing anything unusual about the item and would have simply thought it was a cute little ornament.

“Tell me about the effects of this strange object,” Ruan Mei said with a sigh.

For some reason, even though she knew that this strange object had turned her into a little girl with an unusual style, Ruan Mei felt much more relaxed and naturally couldn't stay angry.

"I don't know. Chen Li said this thing can suppress the demonic yin body and is effective against all immortal beings, so I called you here." The Great Black Tower shook its head.

You ask why the Great Black Tower dared to activate this strange object without even knowing its effects?

Don't ask, the answer is friendship and bonds!

What kind of bad person would send a revival match link to group members for free?

Even if they could participate in the revival competition, they might not be able to defeat the demons and monsters of all the heavens and the world, but at least they would have something to look forward to in life.

Besides, the Great Black Tower's favorite thing to do is study interesting and strange objects.

Although he himself was also affected by the use of the artifact this time, which is a stain that the Great Black Tower can hardly erase, the Great Black Tower is now inexplicably unable to get angry.

"The effect of this strange object is very simple..." Chen Li summoned the strange object back into his hand and then put it away.

"When anyone utters the three words 'yingyingying' in front of that strange object, it can be activated, causing it to glow. The range of the glow can be adjusted automatically, and it can become a galaxy-sized luminous body, spreading its light infinitely. This light can be transmitted through electronic devices and other media, and can be transformed into invisible light that is difficult to see with the naked eye." This is why Chen Li only explained this after putting the strange object away.

"How far did this strange object affect?" the Great Black Tower suddenly asked.

"After I adjusted it beforehand, the coverage area last time was only the Black Tower Space Station. So you don't have to worry about having to go save Azure Star for the 20th time. Moreover, this artifact is very human-like. I don't know if you have noticed, but many staff members in the Black Tower Space Station have become tiny, while many others have not changed, such as Está."

"Because everyone infected with the 'Cute Body Virus' will only trigger the virus and transform into a 'Crybaby' during their non-working hours, which is what you all become. Pretty humane, right?" Chen Li pointed to Estella beside him and said.

"Huh? Me?" Estella felt a little nervous when she realized that everyone's attention was on her.

"I see... Wait, Estella, there's a pink heart in your eye." The Great Black Tower noticed something unusual after getting closer to examine Estella.

“I didn’t see it.” Nguyen Mai frowned.

"Snap!" Chen Li snapped his fingers.

Then a pink light flashed in Nguyen Mai's eyes.

“Now you see. What did you do?” Ruan Mei turned to look at Chen Li.

“Everyone infected with the Moe-Ying virus will have pink hearts appear in their eyes,” Chen Li said.

"Is your pink heart serious?" Because he listened to Chen Li and went to chat with other members of the Oddities Group, Daheita learned a lot of not-so-serious knowledge.

“Of course I’m serious. In fact, this pink heart won’t be noticed unless I grant it an exemption. And after triggering the Virus once, this pink heart will fade to almost transparent. When the pink heart reappears, it means that the other party’s mental state has reached a certain limit and the virus needs to be released again,” Chen Li said.

"Then should I give Estella a break... Estella, from now on, you're off work." The Great Black Tower suddenly said to Estella.

“But Ms. Black Tower, I still have a lot of work to do.”

"Don't worry about that. I said you're off work, so you're off work. Leave the rest to me. Don't you trust me to solve all the problems?" Big Black Tower said.

"Well... okay then." Estella nodded reluctantly.

The next moment, Estella suddenly transformed into the whining monster Chen Li had mentioned in a burst of pink light.

"嘤嘤嘤!"

"Just as Chen Li said, the virus will break out as soon as people enter non-working hours or are not working." Daheita was very satisfied with the success of this experiment.

“That’s right. So this strange object is quite human-like. Let’s take Estella as an example: the stress level of all creatures that become whining monsters can be judged by their height. Daheita and Ruan Mei, the two of you who became whining monsters are about 1.2 meters tall, while Estella is only about 1.1 meters tall. This means that the negative emotions and stress you two accumulated were greater than Estella’s,” Chen Li said.

After all, neither of them is young, much older than Estádio.

"This little whiny girl is quite cute." Big Black Tower patted Little Aista's head. Little Aista didn't refuse, but took out a handful of snacks from the basket and handed them to Big Black Tower.

"After transforming into a whiny monster, it greatly reduces the desire of any unit to attack it. While being habitually ignored by everyone except the person who gave it snacks, it also becomes pseudo-invincible and adds a childlike effect to the surrounding units. That is, pink hearts appear in people's eyes. This is another way of spreading the cute whiny body - from person to person."

"You call that pink heart 'childlike innocence'?" Big Black Tower looked at Chen Li with a strange expression.

Pink hearts are pink hearts, how dare you try to piggyback on "childlike innocence"?
