The Artifact Forger from the Beginning of Collapse

"Bang!" Chen Li was not surprised to be beaten by Jing Liu.

"Well done! What does it mean to have an elder in the family? Am I that old? I'm only..."

"I'm only 17," Chen Li reminded him.

"That's okay."

"Where were we?" Jingliu didn't really want to continue this topic.

Because Kagami is over 1000 years old this year.

However, the suggestion to pass Bai Heng to Chen Li is worth considering... After all, following Chen Li means you'll have a good time every day.

Although Chen Li's usual behavior seemed a bit too joyful, he always insisted that he was accumulating joy points in order to save the world.

Chen Li's speeches occasionally conveyed a sense of sincerity to those who heard them...

Because Chen Lizhen is truly saving the world.

For example, using the Joyful Dice to protect Haruhi Suzumiya.

Thanks to Jingyuan and Jingliu, Chen Li's pleasure points have now reached 6 points. After finding some more fun, he can get down to business.

"I chose Jing Yuan as the first person besides you, Teacher, to use the adorable body in the Immortal Ship, just to help relieve some of his pressure. In addition, Jing Yuan's WeChat Moments terminal is currently filming him in one continuous shot, which will be used as material to be submitted to the higher-ups of the Immortal Ship Alliance. In short, I'm doing all this for Jing Yuan's own good."

"..."

Jingliu felt that Chen Li's words sounded familiar.

Didn't Chen Li say this before she turned herself into a whiny person?

"A one-shot filming? Does that mean we were also filmed?"

"Don't worry, there's post-production editing! So you can treat Xiao Jingyuan however you want, no one will find out," Chen Li said.

Chen Li said she wouldn't edit the video, does that mean she really won't edit it?

Some people say that working 996 is a blessing, but is it really a blessing?

“There’s nothing to be taken lightly. I’m not interested in whiny people.” Jingliu shook his head, sheathed his longsword, and took the snacks that Jingyuan wanted to give him.

However, looking at Jing Yuan, who was practically a tiny little thing in front of him, reminded Jing Liu of his past days.

"Teacher, if you're not interested, then I'll turn you back." Seeing that Jingliu's expression wasn't just stubbornness, but genuine disinterest in toying with Jingyuan, Chen Li nodded.

"Okay... wait, what do you mean by 'revert back'? Isn't the whiny state supposed to end after you give away snacks?" Jingliu was taken aback.

"But the problem is, Jingliu, you haven't finished giving away all the snacks. You haven't given Jingyuan his share. Now, teacher, you seem to have returned to normal, but actually, I've fabricated your current state from when you were in Mengying's body. I haven't finished playing with little Jingliu yet, so of course I can't let go so easily," Chen Li explained.

Leaving aside Jing Liu's reaction, Bai Heng, who was squatting on the ground with Chen Li reflecting on his actions, looked at Chen Li with surprise. Clearly, Bai Heng was unaware of this matter.

Warriors! True warriors are those who dare to charge against their masters!

You really know how to unleash your ultimate skill right up close!

"You traitorous disciple!!!"

"Snap!" Chen Li snapped his fingers, ending the virtual state.

"So be it, I'll just be a traitor." Chen Li muttered to himself as he pinched the cheek of Xiao Jingliu, who had "returned to normal" beside him.

"Waaah!" Little Jingliu did not resist Chen Li's ravaging.

"Waaah!" Jing Yuan ran up to Chen Li and handed him his snacks.

"Oh, do I have one too? Thank you." Chen Li patted Jing Yuan's head and decisively took a photo together before letting go of little Jing Yuan.

After distributing snacks to the three people present, Xiao Jingyuan slipped out through the crack in the gate of the General's Mansion, just like Xiao Jingliu had done, clearly to go and distribute snacks to someone he was on good terms with.

When Yingying Monster is in her transformed state, she won't attract anyone's attention, so there's no need to worry about Jingyuan getting into any trouble while delivering snacks.

Theoretically speaking, Xiao Jingyuan's current combat strength is slightly stronger than that of Jingyuan, the Hunting Order Envoy.

At least the Hunting Order prevented Jing Yuan from harming Xiao Jing Yuan, but Xiao Jing Yuan could pull out a pink hammer and strike the Hunting Order's Jing Yuan.

[This is how we Jingyuan players are: we've never won a fight, but we've never lost a story mission.]

"Di Di!"

Chen Li's WeChat Moments terminal started vibrating. After opening it, he found that Qing Que was sending him a private message.

[Qingque]: My dear Li, what exactly did you do to the Grand Diviner?

[Chen Li]: What happened?

[Qingque]: The Grand Diviner says he'll use the Qiong Guan Formation to arrest you! Let me show you what real divination is all about!

[Chen Li]: Huh? All I did was challenge Fu Xuan to a divination challenge. Wasn't it a bit of cheating for her to use the Qiong Guan Formation?

[Qingque]: This time, the Grand Diviner is determined to teach you a "small" lesson. As you know, the Qiong Guan Formation is a powerful tool of the Grand Diviner. Given enough information, it can answer any question. The talismans and principles within it have been inquired of the Learned Venerable. Are you sure you can avoid it? Please, don't let any blood splatter on me!

Qingque said this because among all the officials in the Taibu Bureau, Qingque and Chen Li were the closest.

If Chen Li fails the test and is arrested by Fu Xuan, Fu Xuan will definitely say that Qing Que led Chen Li astray and prevented Chen Li from seriously studying divination knowledge.

However... Qingque suddenly felt that if Chen Li hadn't been arrested, it seemed that she would be the one who would suffer, probably because: "You have such strong divination skills, but you led me astray and used them to slack off!"

Why is it that Chen Li is the one who skips work, and Chen Li is the one who initiates the challenge, but it's me who suffers the consequences?

Qingque fell into deep thought.

[Chen Li]: No problem! I'm immune to all fate-related divination, but isn't this a bit too unskilled?

[Qingque]: What do you mean? What are you planning to do?

[Chen Li]: I think I might need to use my extraordinary connections to teach Fu Xuan a lesson!

[Qingque]: What are you going to do?

[Chen Li]: Rather than making Fu Xuan unable to divine at all, it's better to make Fu Xuan believe that his correct divination was wrong. Only in this way can my anti-divination ability be demonstrated!

【青雀】: For example?

[Chen Li]: How about we compete with the God of Wisdom to see who is wiser, with the God of Nothingness to see who can fill whom first, and with the God of Greed to see who can devour the other first?

[Qingque]: ? ? ?

[Chen Li]: In short, this time I must give Fu Xuan a little divination shock! But speaking of which, can the Qiong Guan Zhen withstand divination and such things? Or can it even be observed?

[Qingque]: Wait a minute, is this anti-divination serious?

[Chen Li]: Don't worry about that. Just remember to report Fu Xuan's movements to me regularly. Thanks.

Chapter 213 Jingyuan: After the company dies, can it be resurrected with a resurrection card? This is very important! (5k)

"There's a question I've been wanting to ask..." Bai Heng asked.

"what is the problem?"

"Your strange object can turn a person into a whiny monster, and then the whiny monster can distribute the snacks in the basket to others, thus reducing the whiny monster's burden to zero. But what if this person doesn't have any close companions or even anyone they know nearby?" Bai Heng asked this question that had been bothering her for a long time.

"Of course... she can't change back, just like now. As long as the two of us don't accept Xiao Jingliu's snacks, she can't change back," Chen Li explained.

“…You really will be beaten to death by your master,” Bai Heng said after glancing at the starry sky outside.

At this moment, Bai Heng had already arrived at the Black Tower Space Station with Chen Li.

The two were standing on the platform, gazing at the scenery under the stars.

Traveling through the starry sky has always been Bai Heng's dream, but unfortunately, he has never had the chance to board the Starry Sky Train, the holy land of the nameless traveler.

At the Black Tower Space Station, apart from Chen Li and Bai Heng, Jing Liu didn't know anyone. So, little Jing Liu was obediently staying by their side, only occasionally glancing in a certain direction.

Chen Li guessed that might be the direction where the immortal ship was located.

"Just kidding. The [Cute Whine] artifact can be set so that if all the snacks aren't given away within a certain time, the other person will revert to their original state. Also, Jingliu stays with us because we two have higher priority. Whine monsters can also reduce their burden by giving snacks to other whiny monsters. No other whiny monsters? Then just randomly infect an unlucky person, turn them into a whiny monster, and then give them snacks," Chen Li explained.

This is one of the reasons why the virion can be transmitted from person to person.

If you have friends, you can gift snacks to them. If you don't have friends, you can randomly turn an unlucky person into a whiny monster. Whiny monsters are of the same race as other whiny monsters, which also meets the requirements.

Isn't that very user-friendly?

However, if there's no one around, then there's nothing you can do.

"I see... Then what was that bracelet you put on Jingliu just now?"

"It's just a small thing that I created with the power of eternity and enhanced with star stones, which can prevent a person's form from changing. It's also one of the known methods, besides rare artifacts, that can affect a person's body."

"...You really will be beaten to death by your master."

"It doesn't matter, don't worry about these trivial things. It's not like it's the first time I've died. Besides, even Kagami Ryu herself doesn't have any objections, right?"

"嘤嘤嘤!"

Xiao Jingliu didn't know what opinions were. He only knew that the two people beside him were among the two people he was closest to, so he was fine staying here.

The one-star artifact "Cute Body" actually has quite a few bugs that can interfere with the whining monsters who are in the "Cute Body" state.

The problem is that people who have the ability to find and exploit these bugs don't need to turn others into whiny monsters; they can play with them like toys.

This creates a paradox.

So once the program is running, don't worry about how it runs; don't worry about it.
