The Artifact Forger from the Beginning of Collapse

"...This is my mask!" Hanabi exploded.

No wonder I didn't realize who stole my mask!

Fireworks, a junior employee, started to doubt his own abilities before he even beat his competitors, and now you're telling me the chairman stole it?

"real or fake?"

"Didn't I show you the design sketches for the mask?"

"I thought all of you Masked Fools' masks looked the same."

"Give me back my mask!"

"I remember Hanabi, didn't you say you would take back your mask through your own abilities?"

"...Then keep the mask you have safe, I will come and get it!"

"no problem."

"Wait, so if that's the case... this mask wasn't stolen from me, was it?" Hanabi couldn't help but take off the black and red mask from her head and ask.

“You’ll have to ask Aha, don’t ask me. Aha has never told me where the mask came from,” Chen Li said with certainty.

Ahha didn't say it, but that didn't stop Chen Li from knowing.

"Damn it!" Hanabi gritted her teeth.

If it weren't for Chen Li, Hua Huo would never have known that she was so favored by the Star God of Joy.

If you really like me that much, then why don't you make me your commander?

I treat you like a faith, and you treat me like a provider of happy words, right?

Now... I like it even more!

So, to express her affection, Hanabi decides to borrow the Pleasure Dice one more time.

"Dad, lend me the Happy Dice one more time!"

"What are you going to do?"

"Let's duel Aha again!"

"Let's not?"

"I know you're worried about me..." Hanabi felt a warmth in her heart.

Chen Li still has some conscience; he must have been deeply moved by Chen Li's decision to fight the Star God of Joy alone.

"No, it's mainly because the fact that you were under hard control for 20 minutes meant that the Pleasure Dice had just been filled with Pleasure Points. Lending it to you would be too wasteful," Chen Li said tactfully.

"What are pleasure points?" Hanabi was taken aback.

"It means that the item that can adjust the value of the Pleasure Dice can store up to 10 points, which means it can be adjusted from 1 to 11 points at most."

"Then why can't I use it?" Hanabi's eyes widened.

If the Joyful Dice had rolled a full number, I could have easily turned the tables and won!

"Uh... I used the Joy Dice to save the world before I put it into the gacha pool, and then I used up all the Joy Dice points." Chen Li scratched his head.

"That damned artifact forger!" Hanabi gritted her teeth.

"Don't say that, I'm also trying to save the world."

"Alright then... but as compensation for being under the control of the Negative Artifact for 20 minutes, you have to lend me another set of Joyful Dice filled with Joyful Dice! I want to duel with the God of Joy again!"

"Hmm...it's possible, but I feel that the moment you said those words, Aha couldn't possibly be in front of you anymore. You don't actually think the Star God of Pleasure isn't spying on you, do you?" Chen Li was quite qualified to speak on this point.

The Star God of Pleasure is a stalker!

"..." by Hanabi.

The Pleasure Star God is indeed fearless in the pursuit of amusement.

The Star God of Joy could indeed find it amusing to be the butt of jokes.

But the God of Joy can also find the fact that "Hanabi wanted to see the God of Joy's fun but couldn't" to be funny.

A joyful destiny, isn't that amazing?

"However, you are not entirely without a chance."

"What opportunity?" Hanabi's eyes lit up with hope.

"Now, let's travel back 10 minutes and slap you for saying you didn't want to fight the God of Joy again. You should know that when you rejected the God of Joy's best-of-three request, the Joy Dice had already accumulated enough Joy Points."

"...Stop talking, I really want to slap myself right now. Or do you think you can find a time-traveling artifact?"

“It can be made, but I feel it’s a bit too late. Alright, give me back the Pleasure Dice. This thing doesn’t bring happiness,” Chen Li said.

The Joyful Dice, this wondrous object, has always been in Hanabi's possession.

"Sigh... I really wanted to practice with the God of Joy again, but now there's no chance." Hanabi sighed, pressed the dice in her hand into the video call interface in front of her, and then hung up the call.

The joy dice passed through the video and landed in Chen Li's hand on the other side of the screen.

"It seems that the matter of using a rare artifact to duel with the God of Joy still needs to be carefully considered," Hanabi muttered to herself.

But how do we lure out the Star God of Pleasure?

"I heard you want to spar with me?" A cheerful voice rang in Hanabi's ears.

Hanabi turned her head to look at the Star God of Joy who was so close to her, and then glanced at the closed video call interface. In that instant, a flawless smile appeared on her face.

"Of course not. Dear God of Fun, I meant I would like to meet with you."

Then, Hanabi grabbed her fist and punched.

Although Hanabi didn't think she could harm the God of Pleasure, the final result still caught her off guard.

Hanabi looked down and saw the familiar yellow banana peel at her feet.

"Where did you get this?" Hanabi asked calmly.

“I took it from the Great Black Tower. Use it quickly, I have to return it after you’re done,” Aha urged.

The next moment, with her senses distorted, Hanabi fell to the ground with a thud.

However, there are gains and losses, and now the fireworks have proven one thing.

That is, people actually laugh when they are extremely speechless.

Damn Pleasure God! Don't treat Hanabi like she's Japanese just because she plays with kendama and wears geta!

Chapter 225 Spring Spirit: Familiar, are you confident you can help me get dressed? (6k)

"Chen Li, Chen Li, you can't go down this path anymore."

"You are an outstanding young person of the new century who aspires to save the world, how can you be infatuated with a moment's beauty!"

"Mmm, just one more bite."

"Alicia tastes really good!"

"...Alright, alright, stop chewing. If you keep chewing, you'll turn the crystal into a giant Alicia," Velvi said, pulling Chen Li's hand.

Velvi used a machine to scan Alicia's body and found that the crystal on her body combined the power of pure beauty with the authority of the Herrscher of Man, so almost no weapon could deform or damage it. But unfortunately, Alicia ran into Chen Li.

"How is it? My carving skills are pretty good, aren't they?" Chen Li asked, pointing at the crystal.

This is an extraordinary skill that Chen Li honed through the divine amber body!

"Uh... Alicia would be very satisfied if she saw this statue, provided it wasn't gnawed out of your teeth," Velvi retorted.

In order not to waste a single inch of crystal and to ensure Alicia's safety, Chen Li carved the crystal covering Alicia into Alicia's likeness, turning the crystal into a giant Alicia.

“And there’s also the ability to sever all phenomena,” Chen Li explained.

“Yes, yes, so it’s time to get down to business, right? You spent three whole hours watching fireworks. Have you forgotten what we’re supposed to do today?” Wilvi reminded her.

"I've been focused on the important thing, and collecting pleasure points is the most important thing right now," Chen Li said.

"Alright, so now it's time to get down to business." Wilvi completely ignored Chen Li's words.

"Hmm... Let's go, let's go to the Möbius Laboratory first."

……

"We're going to the present civilization to do only three things! Steal the Void Treasury, steal the Void Treasury, and damn it, steal the Void Treasury!" Chen Li stood in the center of the Möbius Laboratory, excitedly slapping the laboratory table as he shouted.

This is the important thing that Vervière mentioned.

For Virvie and Mebius, the Void Treasury, which contains all the knowledge of the entire pre-civilization, is more important than all the other Divine Keys combined.

Whether it's the details of the proposed and perfected Super Transformation Surgery, the construction of the Moon Throne, the manufacturing method of the Divine Key, the research on Valkyrie Armor (the Valkyrie Armor in Honkai Impact 3 was developed based on the Blank Key), the Armored Dolls, or most importantly, Dr. Mei's lifelong research—Stigmata!

All knowledge and treasures are contained within the vast emptiness.

Although Mebius, Vervier, or even Mebius who is still a high school student, could all re-examine these things through their own efforts, and would be able to do so even faster with a concrete approach, why not just copy the answers if they are available?

The current civilization's destiny lies in the fact that Otto acquired a great deal of excellent knowledge from previous civilizations from the Void Treasury, which enabled him to achieve a precipitous lead over anti-entropy in the field of technological research.

Otto was indeed a competent scientist, but without the vastness of the void and the knowledge of previous civilizations, his research could not have been as rich as it is today.
