The Artifact Forger from the Beginning of Collapse

Hanabi doesn't really believe in coincidences; she sees all coincidences as inevitable.

Just like the Joyful Envoy who casually brought the fireworks onto this celestial ship once said that a Joyful Envoy had appeared on the celestial ship, but for some reason, he quickly disappeared.

Today, that reaction that could disrupt the path to happiness has completely disappeared.

The pleasure envoy felt that there was something strange about the Immortal Ship, so he left immediately after saying goodbye to the fireworks.

Fireworks, however, felt that precisely because it was so eerie, something even more spectacular than the appearance of a pink sun in the sky was bound to happen at Luofu Immortal Boat!

If Hanabi doesn't understand the Commander, doesn't she understand the Masked Fool?

"Forget it, never mind. As the old saying goes, 'The masked fool should enjoy himself while he can.' Let me try out this strange object and have some fun!" Hanabi placed the mask on the left side of her hair.

【A Thousand Acts of Deception】: Can help the mask user find like-minded people or things; 【Joy】 is mutually attractive.

"...Why does it have such a cool name, yet the effect of the artifact is so perfunctory?" Wilvi looked at Chen Li in confusion.

Although Vervi hadn't personally witnessed how many times Chen Li had forged artifacts, she was certain that the forging of this particular artifact was the most perfunctory.

In the previous instances, Chen Li had added a large number of crystals to the forging furnace, but this time he only added 5 crystals.

"Because the person who wants this strange object has very simple requirements: they just want to use it to find out where there's entertainment nearby. If there is entertainment, they'll watch it; if not, they'll create their own..."

"Such a description... surely the person who commissioned you to create this strange object isn't some masked fool?" Velvi joked.

"Hey, what a masked fool."

"???"

Unexpectedly, she suddenly ran into her colleague, Vervi, and was momentarily stunned.

Velvi's true profession is a con artist, which is different from the Pleasure Mask Fool, but Velvi is, after all, a Pleasure Envoy.

Although Velvi used all of her Pleasure Commander power to create a mask.

"Vilvie, how's your Persona developing?" Chen Li asked.

Chen Li's special trip back to the Fire-Chasing Moth to create wondrous artifacts was certainly not because he was too idle.

“After two days of my hard work, this mask has grown considerably. If I use it to its full potential now, it should be able to help the Fire Moth stand up,” Velvi said after thinking for a moment.

Theoretically speaking, it would be easy to destroy the Moth of Flame with the power of the Pleasure Commander, but when Velvey made the invention, she never focused on its destructive power, but rather on its functionality.

Therefore, Velvi sacrificed the lower limit of the Pleasure Token's power to raise its upper limit. As long as this mask is continuously placed on strange objects and more personalities are collected, the mask's upper limit can be continuously increased.

It also has the property of activating any item.

Its effect is no different from some beginner's wonders, the only difference is that it is too expensive.

Even if you stripped the God of Joy bare, you still wouldn't be able to find many masks like this.

“And among these, the weapons you crafted using the synthesis table, which possess special attributes, provide the mask with far more spiritual energy than ordinary items,” Velvi said.

Spirituality is also a factor that determines the strength of the personality in a persona.

Although the personalities awakened by the Persona are all pure and weak, there are differences in weakness.

Just like how humans and blue whales, both mammals, differ in size by a few hundred million.

This was one of the new ideas that came to Vilvi after visiting the Creation Furnace of the Industrial Creation Company.

"It's already able to cover the Firemoth base? Not bad. I might need to use your Persona later. Let me know in advance."

"Sure, but what do you want to do?"

"caused a minor incident."

"???"

"Don't worry, it's really small. It won't bother anyone else. It'll just make some people furious and want to find me after they discover someone is impersonating her," Chen Li said.

Hua Huo should take the blame for Chen Li; the blame lies with Hua Huo for the forging fee he needs to pay Chen Li.

But the fact that Hua Huo swindled all the money Chen Li had given Yin Zhi is another matter entirely.

Chen Li always calculates accounts very clearly.

"Then have fun." Virvi declined to comment.

The Masked Fool is like this: if you have the idea of ​​watching others make a fool of themselves, then you should be prepared to be the one being made a fool of yourself.

Those who bring joy to others will always be joyful in return; this is the norm in the world.

"Do you really intend to use my lab as your chatterbox? Do you even respect me as the owner of this lab?!" Seeing Chen Li and Vervière chatting so happily, Möbius finally couldn't take it anymore.

"Yes, yes, by the way, how is Alicia? After her projection was canceled, did her experience return to her original body? Has her power increased?" Chen Li asked Velvi while giving Mebius a perfunctory answer.

“I’m not entirely sure, because from the moment the projection was canceled half an hour ago, Alicia was enveloped in crystals and fell into a deep sleep. I sent her back to her room, and she seems to be digesting the enormous power she suddenly gained,” Velvi said.

Alicia's situation is different from that of Velvi, Mebius, and Sakura.

Because either the three of them didn't receive much from their destiny, or they used the power of their destiny for something else.

The power of the Pure Beauty Envoy that Alicia obtained brought her tremendous benefits.

"Preliminary speculation suggests that Alicia is combining the powers of her Human Herrscher with those of the Pure Beauty Envoy." Seeing that Velvi and Chen Li had no intention of changing their conversation, Mebius reluctantly joined the discussion.

"I see... I wonder what changes will occur." Chen Li nodded.

Alicia's identity as the Herrscher of Humanity and her powers as the Herrscher of Origin are highly compatible with Chunmei's destiny.

However, Alicia first served as the pink sun on the fairy ship for two days, and then was frozen in the crystal and fell asleep after the projection returned, which was truly a fairytale-like beauty.

Alicia was destined to suffer this ordeal.

"I wonder how long it will take Alicia to digest this..."

"It's simple to find out, just join me in accelerating civilization, right?" Chen Li had a good idea.

"Forget it. I still vividly remember the tragedy that occurred after you accelerated civilization last time." Velvi disagreed with this opinion.

"You have the nerve to say that? It was you who dismantled the Supreme Imperial Arms into pieces, causing the biggest impact on the capital." Chen Li rolled his eyes at Virvi.

“How could that be? It was clearly Mebius and Ruan Mei who caused the biggest impact. I disassembled the Supreme Imperial Arms and then put it back together, but the genes of the two of them that changed the flying-type Dangerous Species haven’t been corrected yet,” Velvi objected.

“It’s true that the genetic modification wasn’t reversed, but Najenda has already sent people to capture all the dangerous flying species whose genes were modified and put them in the zoo to perform,” Mebius said.

"So that's how it was solved? That's too brutal!"

“Cruel? They have food, drink, and entertainment. Isn’t that easier than them guarding the palace in the skies above the capital every day?” Möbius waved his hand.

“I think the last Civilization Acceleration was an accident. This time, I've also joined the script to make sure I keep an eye on Möbius and Nguyen May,” Chen Li said.

"Why me and Nguyen Mai?" Möbius was not satisfied with Chen Li's statement.

Nguyen Mai, who was drinking tea nearby, also glanced at him slightly.

"Because I'm afraid you two will do something terrible." Chen Li looked at a ball placed on the Möbius experiment table.

"Oh, you mean that thing? It's called a Honkai Sphere. It was an idea of ​​mine and Ruan Mei's. After Ruan Mei came to the Honkai world and learned about the effects of my scalpel, she made a suggestion: if I can condense plants into life seeds, can I also condense animals into life seeds?"

"And it's not just about life seeds. If the scalpel can cause the operated subject to evolve in a fixed direction during surgery, could we temporarily regress them to a miniature state, store their potential points, and then use a life preservation device to collect them, restoring them to their original state when needed for combat..."

"With the combined efforts of the two of us, we created the Honkai Sphere next to us."

“There is a Temple-class Honkai Beast imprisoned inside the Honkai Sphere. It is the initial product of the experiment. However, the problem now is how to control the Honkai Beast inside…” Mebius said with some trouble.

“Isn’t that simple? I can separate a personality from the Persona, edit it, and then implant it into the Honkai Beast’s mind, making it under my control,” Velvey said.

This is also the inspiration that Vervier drew from the sun.

The Creation Furnace contains countless suns, one of which can divide its body into countless fragments to control other creatures.

Therefore, Velvi was also thinking that since the personality gathered by the Persona was just sitting there anyway, perhaps it could be used to indirectly control living beings.

"Controlling a Honkai Beast isn't difficult, but we're considering how to mass-produce it."

"Mass production?" Velvi joined the conversation.

“In fact, after our discussions, we have come up with a fairly perfect solution.” Seeing that Vervie was interested, Mebius didn’t mind discussing this matter with her.

“Vilvie, as you know, if a technology cannot be widely used, then it is an immature technology. And if I have to use a rare artifact to perform surgery on each Honkai Beast to put them into a Honkai Sphere, the cost would be too high and it would not be universal.”

"So Nguyen Mai and I decided to solve this problem at its root."

"Oh? Fundamentally?"

“That’s right! The Cocoon of the End!” A cryptic light shone in Mebius’s eyes.

"If Chen Li can take me to the location of the Cocoon of the End, and I can perform surgery on the Cocoon of the End, I am confident that I can make the Honkai Beasts spawned by the Honkai in the future have this common mechanism, that is, when they are attacked fatally or if they want to, they can shrink themselves to the size of a thumb and store the excess potential points."

"When needed, the potential points can be recycled to transform it back into a behemoth."

"In this way, as long as we can mass-produce this item called Honkai Sphere, which is actually a life support device, we can obtain a large number of living Honkai Beasts."

"As for how to make the Honkai Beasts in these Honkai Spheres fight for the user, it is not difficult to solve. We just need to increase the Honkai Beasts' affinity for people with Honkai resistance when performing surgery on the Cocoon of the End."

"In this way, humans can use these newly created Honkai Beasts to fight against the old version of Honkai Beasts, and also significantly enhance the average strength of humans, preparing for humans to go into space."

"The Honkai Beasts are so powerful, it would be a waste to wipe them all out, right?"

"If all humans who venture from Earth into space possessed the ability to control and carry Honkai Beasts, that would represent an evolution in the combat power of the entire civilization!"

"After all, not everyone is suited to undergo super-transformation surgery and become a fusion warrior."

As Mebius explained his plan to Vervie, his eyes kept glancing in Chen Li's direction.

The most crucial aspect of this plan is that Möbius only knows about the Cocoon of the End, but cannot get close to it.
