The Artifact Forger from the Beginning of Collapse

"Why don't you throw such a dangerous thing into the forging furnace and remelt it?" Xilin wasn't afraid because she knew that Chen Li had his reasons for daring to take the snake out.

"What do you think?" Chen Li turned to look at the little black tower.

“I guess… Chen Li, the fact that you didn’t destroy this snake immediately means it’s useful. For example, you could sign a contract with it, making it your clone, and then become a player, controlling the snake to devour items! And after the snake devours items, you’ll get attribute points as a reward!” Little Black Tower’s eyes lit up.

Chen Li looked at the little black tower, then at the gluttonous snake.

After touching the snake again and not seeing the clone entry that might appear, Chen Li glanced at the little black tower with disappointment.

Son, Dad is very disappointed in you.

"Your ability to seize opportunities isn't great either. You're not even as good as Haruhi Suzumiya." Chen Li shook his head regretfully.

Chen Li actually had the same idea as the Black Tower. He was wondering if the Black Tower's mechanical soul ability could "distort" the snake's ability since they were both world-destroying sets. That's why he used a suggestive statement.

After all, the Black Tower's activation ability has been enhanced by crystals.

However, the facts once again proved that the research of the Big Black Tower was correct. Although the Little Black Tower's machine soul ability can distort reality according to its own will, this ability focuses more on changing and increasing the Little Black Tower's own skill ceiling.

Little Black Tower says she can eat, and she can eat; Little Black Tower says she can get pregnant, and she can get pregnant; but Little Black Tower says this gluttonous snake can become a clone, which is obviously not feasible.

Unless Little Black Tower eats this gluttonous snake alive.

"Huh? Eat it raw? I won't eat it! It looks disgusting." Little Black Tower shook its head repeatedly after hearing Chen Li's suggestion.

The Machine Soul is already invincible; why borrow the Snake Bone?

Unlike Haruhi Suzumiya, who is a wish-fulfilling being who is unaware of and cannot be aware of her own potential, the Black Tower can instantly reach a certain limit in one of its stats using its machine soul abilities.

Little Black Tower was very satisfied with this ability.

Just as Chen Li said, the height of a fountain will not exceed its source, and the energy of a mechanical puppet will not exceed its belief!

Little Black Tower felt that he only needed to focus on his own abilities.

"So what should we do with this gluttonous snake? Do I need to use the Myriad Manifestations Cutting Technique to cut it?" Xi Yalin asked with great interest.

“No need. I’ll give this snake to Mebius. I think it’s better for Mebius to use this snake’s genes rather than Shesa’s Honkai Beast genes to become a Fusion Warrior. Although we’re from different worldviews, I believe Mebius can do it,” Chen Li said.

Chen Li believed that Mebius could use a proper method to degenerate the gluttonous snake into a seed of life, and then use it on himself.

Let's just hand over the Snake to Haruhi Suzumiya and let her utilize the superiority of this world-destroying monster.

Chen Li didn't doubt that Haruhi Suzumiya could give the snake the ability to become clones in her world. Chen Li only doubted whether Haruhi Suzumiya would have wild ideas and think about things like clones betraying the original, causing the snake to go out of control.

Reading too many novels can lead to a strong aversion and apprehension towards the ability to create clones.

"Is it going to work? Aren't you afraid that Mebius will cause some trouble with this snake?"

“It’s not a big problem. Mebius has a special item that can subdue this snake,” Chen Li said.

The biggest problem with the World Destroyer Seed that refreshes Chen Li's room every day is that it cannot be easily destroyed. Just like this gluttonous snake, even Chen Li, who is not proficient in sealing techniques, could seal it before it developed. But the seal will eventually break.

As long as this gluttonous snake's immortal "golden body" cannot be broken, it will eventually destroy the world.

Because the snake, which can regenerate, has countless chances to start over, while the "world" only has one chance.

But as long as Mebius makes a cut on this gluttonous snake with a scalpel, the snake will remain in a state of being operated on and unable to grow until Mebius completes the surgery.

"So that's how it was solved?" Sirin was greatly shocked.

"Functional artifacts are like this: although they don't have extreme numerical values, they have extreme mechanisms."

“What about the Myriad Phenomena Cutting Off?” Sirin asked.

"A simple, user-friendly game console," Chen Li said quite bluntly.

If Mebius uses her scalpel to play a game called "Life" at the real difficulty level, then the wielder of the All-Encompassing Judgment is playing at the story difficulty level.

As long as you don't cut yourself with the "All Things Cut" technique, you'll be able to pass the game sooner or later.

"Ahem, speaking of which, why hasn't Kaguya come down yet? Should I go and call her down for breakfast?"

"Forget it. Kaguya of Houraisan came to my house for refuge because she didn't want to get up early. Now that she's here, she's being woken up every morning. She might as well go back to Eientei," Chen Li said.

Because Kaguya Houraisan moved out of the room directly above Chen Li, she was surprisingly not woken up by the falling objects this morning.

"Chen Li, when are you going to forge me a rare artifact?" Little Black Tower asked, raising his hand.

"To forge wondrous artifacts for you?"

"I will pay the corresponding compensation."

"No, it's not about the reward. It's about what you need the artifact for, or what type of artifact you want?" Ever since seeing how Möbius made such a splash with beginner artifacts, Chen Li has become more selective about who uses them.

“I think I might need a magical artifact that can transform me into a magical girl,” Little Black Tower said.

"Huh? Weren't you trying to guarantee your uniqueness? Why are you starting to imitate the Great Black Tower?"

"No, no, no, I'm not like those old magical grandmothers from the Great Black Tower. The magical girl I want is an imaginary magical girl. I want you to create a wonder using the keywords [imaginary number] and [magical girl]."

"..."

"Because I was thinking, since the Star God is a being that has mastered a portion of imaginary energy, could I obtain some imaginary energy from the Tree of Imaginary Energy and directly become the Black Tower Star God? I think I can do it," said the Little Black Tower.

Chen Li glanced at the small black tower, then at the newly generated commission.

【The Witch of Imaginary Numbers】: Create a magical girl transformation device for the Little Black Tower that can make her the spokesperson for the Tree of Imaginary Numbers.

Posted by: Xiaoheita

Reward: 30-150 crystals.

Risk: Low to extremely high.

"Honey, this is such a dangerous toy, let's not play with it, okay?" Chen Li advised.

This commission has the largest difference between the minimum and maximum crystal rewards that Chen Li has ever seen.

If the artifact Chen Li crafted could receive the top reward... then Chen Li would believe that this artifact could make the Little Black Tower hold the sun and moon and pluck the stars, let alone make it a god.

In fact, Chen Li had thought of this plan before, but he rejected it.

Because the cost is too high.

Moreover, it only applies to worlds that have imaginary trees.

It is not a suitable commission due to its high cost and narrow applicability.

"Seeing your expression puts my mind at ease. It means my idea is indeed feasible." Little Black Tower wasn't disappointed by Chen Li's tactful rejection; instead, it became even more excited.

"What do you want to do?"

"Chen Li, when you eat Star Gods in the future, could you take a piece of their divine body out of your mouth and give it to me? I'm thinking that if I collect a part of all the Star Gods in this world, could I generate a small Collapse Iron Universe in my body, connect it to the Imaginary Tree, and make it mistake me for an imaginary world, and then provide me with imaginary energy?" The little black tower shared its idea.

Little Black Tower pondered that the most representative element of the Collapse Iron World was the Star God, so it could be said that this was a Star God world.

If you take a part from the Star God and put it on yourself, can you create a small Star God world?

It's like taking a small portion from each part of a pond and putting it into an aquarium to create a simple miniature pond.

Once the basic infrastructure is in place, the permits can be dealt with later.

Of course, Little Black Tower also knows that the Star God is not the entirety of the Honkai Impact 3rd world, but isn't Little Black Tower trying to hypnotize himself?

Machine Soul, show me your limits!

"...You really dare to think that way. But some of the Star Gods have already fallen."

Chen Li discovered that these geniuses all had remarkably clear thought processes. They always liked to exploit the bugs in the world, but their behavior was justified because of the conditions they possessed.

"Then let them win the resurrection match. Or there's another way, why don't you become a full-fledged Fate Walker? The Star Gods are dead, but Fate is still there. When they glance at you, you can just eat their glances, right? Or you can just go and gnaw on Fate directly."

"Then spit it into your mouth?"

"Ugh, that sounds disgusting. But if it's for becoming a god... it's not entirely unacceptable." The little black tower looked reluctant.

"Achieving the full destiny path... is a bit difficult, but I will try my best."

That's true, but some people's fates are very strange.

For example, breeding...

"Thank you, Brother Chen Li," Little Black Tower said in a high-pitched voice.

"Ugh!" Xilin, who was standing next to her, felt a chill.

There's no tomorrow for a dead clamp!

"If Brother Chen Li can't create a magical girl artifact right now, could you forge a hypnotic artifact?" Little Black Tower pressed his advantage.

"A hypnotic artifact... that sounds a bit unorthodox, but let me ask you this first: what do you want to do with it?"

"Hypnotize myself."

"You're going to the Great Black Tower to hypnotize people?"

“No, it’s myself. Since you said the energy of the Machine Soul Doll wouldn’t exceed its belief, then I can just use a hypnotic tool to strengthen my belief, right?” Little Black Tower said.

"..."

If Huo Linfei had had the rare item you wanted back then, let alone 7 days, he might have been able to get Xuehuang to put her hair up in 3 days!

"Go ask Big Black Tower for the payment, she'll reimburse you. I've already spoken to Big Black Tower," Little Black Tower said.

"Alright, but I'm giving you a heads-up: don't misuse this strange item, or I'll hang you up in the Black Space Station and whip you for three days and three nights!"

"I understand, I'm not stupid."
