The Artifact Forger from the Beginning of Collapse

And why are you so angry when you hear Cocolia's name?

"Look, our Cocolia was turned into a slime because she did something wrong." Chen Li pointed to Cocolia, who was still cleaning up the trash.

Raiden Mei's house didn't originally have that much trash, but with more people and more food, the trash just kept piling up.

“That’s great! Although it might not be the same Cocolia... In our world, Cocolia is a tyrant,” Seele explained.

"In short, the situation is now quite clear. Bronya, because you didn't specify all the correct conditions when you wanted to summon Seele to your side, you summoned a Seele that looks very similar to Seele," Chen Li said to Bronya, who looked incredulous.

"what?"

"This situation is very common in this world, because in the endless worlds, there will always be some similar worlds and some similar people," Chen Li explained.

This is what the Honkai world is like.

Just like Huang Quan in the world of Collapsed Iron, whose hometown was swallowed up by the Void Star God, he also saw many worlds similar to his own when he was wandering in the stars.

This is the worldview of the Honkai Impact 3rd world.

Bronya was so excited that she forgot to include Seele's surname when calling her name, which led to the mix-up.

As for why Seele responds to strangers... it's probably subconscious.

If you're walking down the street and suddenly hear someone call your name, you'll naturally turn around instinctively.

The fact that only one Seele appeared might be because Bronya only wanted one Seele.

The reason it's Seele and not Seele Freya is even simpler.

Because Seele's full name is Seele, not Seele Vollerai.

"If you don't believe me, you can ask Seele what the director of your orphanage is called. Maybe there's a corresponding person in this world."

“Our orphanage’s director is named Natasha,” Seele said.

"Ah, who called me?" Raven, who had just delivered the Third Divine Key to Raiden Mei's house, suddenly stood up and looked over.

"Natasha!" Seele exclaimed in surprise upon seeing the raven's appearance.

"Who are you?" The raven didn't remember ever seeing this person before.

Raven, whose real name is Natasha Ciora, is a high-ranking member of World Serpent. She is renowned in the mercenary world and is the most famous mercenary in North America. She wields the third divine key, the Judgment Key, "Seven Thunders of Purification".

"Alright, sit down first." Chen Li gestured for him to sit down.

Although the raven didn't understand what was going on, it didn't dare to make a sound.

After all, the person in front of them was someone even the Gray Serpent treated with utmost respect. It was said that, like Lord Kevin, he was an old-timer from a previous civilization.

"See? Things just happen to be this coincidental. So now you should figure out a way to send Xi'er back. Then go find your Xi'er," Chen Li said.

"How do we return it? There's no information about it on the artifact." Bronya looked at the artifact in her hand with some difficulty.

"What? I can't go back? And I was just about to ask, where did they bring me?" Seele was a little confused.

If you say I was brought here because of a misunderstanding, I'll forgive you since you wanted to save your best friend. But you can't make it impossible for me to go back.

“This is another world. And I know you’re in a hurry, but don’t worry, there’s a way to get you back.” Chen Li began to comfort Xi’er.

"Really?"

“Since I was able to bring you here, I can also send you back. Here, these are slap gloves. After putting on the gloves, you can see the people you are connected with, then select a target, slap yourself, and you can open a time-space portal to go to that person. And this time-space portal can be traveled through,” Chen Li said.

With palm-sized gloves, some people no longer need to worry about getting lost.

The prerequisite is that you know someone who lives near your home.

"...Can this slap glove really be used to slap anyone?" Seele suddenly asked.

"Of course. And it's guaranteed to hit."

"Can I have my hand replaced with a sickle?" Seele asked expectantly.

"What do you want to do?"

“Chop down Cocolia.” Seele picked up her scythe.

Seele was happy at the thought of using this glove so she could slap Cocolia and then quickly pull back, leaving her with no chance to retaliate.

Cocolia the Cricket... As long as Seele isn't caught on the spot, she has nothing to be afraid of.

After all, it was Cocolia herself who ordered the severing of the connection between the upper and lower city areas.

If Cocolia dares to come to the lower city to find Seele, the entire lower city will be thrown into a frenzy, and Cocolia will be given a real demonstration of what a riot looks like!

If you could replace your gloves with a sickle, wouldn't you be able to stick your head out and stab the other person, then pull your head back in?

"Calm down. But since it's our problem, we can't let you go back empty-handed. You can slap Cocolia with your glove, and then go home."

"Really?"

"Of course. You keep slapping me while I go prepare some local specialties for you." After saying that, Chen Li started rummaging through his inventory.

The WeChat Moments terminal is definitely needed, along with some food, and the magical life seeds that Mebius gave to Chen Li for evaluation—seeds that can be sown and grow rapidly in extreme environments.

“I suddenly realized something…” Xi’er nudged Chen Li, who was preparing local specialties.

"what happened?"

“Why isn’t Cocolia on my shortlist?” Seele asked.

"...What is your relationship with Cocolia?"

"The relationship between persecutors and the persecuted."

"That's fine then, the connection is too weak. This glove can appear along the causal chain in front of any being who has mentioned your name, nickname, honorific title, or any other reference to you, and slap it/her/him/her. This effect ignores distance and the number of people. Which requirement do you meet?"

“…” Seele blinked but didn’t say anything.

“Indirect contact is fine, but too indirect is not good.” Chen Li shook his head.

On Sundays, you can use this palm-sized glove to smear robin's black powder because anyone who knows robin knows Sunday.

Because if haters don't know this basic knowledge, they will be called "armchair critics" instead of haters, and will lose the right to criticize robins.

Never underestimate haters!

Sometimes haters know more about celebrities than fans do!

Moreover, many of the Black Robins are famous because they are the heads of the Sunday Oak family.

In addition, Sunday often engages in intense online battles with haters. Even if the haters don't know the name Sunday, they still know his online name.

A screen name is also a name.

"Can I keep this opportunity?" Seele asked.

"Sure. This is a local specialty and a magical item I'm giving you, with instructions... You should be able to read, right?"

"Don't underestimate me!"

"sorry."

“Even if I don’t know him, Natasha does.”

"I take back my 'I'm sorry' from earlier."

"..."

......

"Xie'er!"

"Sister Bronya!"

"Seele! Waaaaah, I've finally seen you." Perhaps it was the trauma Seele had left on Bronya earlier, but Bronya only dared to pounce on her when Seele called out her name.

Moreover, under the influence of this artifact, Seele is summoned in her normal state, not in a quantum state.

Congratulations, congratulations.

"Bronya, do you want to summon other Seeles?" Chen Li asked after taking the bell from Bronya's hand.

"Other Seeles? Sister Bronya, how many Seeles do you have?" Seele tilted her head after letting go of Bronya.

“You’re the only Seele. I don’t need this artifact anymore. You can take it back and modify it; maybe it will reduce the losses.” Bronya said to Chen Li.

Bronya was afraid that Seele would misunderstand if she spoke too late.

Bronya knew that the value of this artifact was far less than the value she could bring to Chen Li by becoming a suicide soldier, so after meeting Seele, Bronya had no intention of continuing to possess the artifact.

"Oh." Chen Li was quite satisfied with this.

This rare item cost Chen Li 30 crystals, but Chen Li earned 40 crystals because Bronya summoned Seele.

Seele Vollerai returns for 30 crystals.

Seele from the Honkai Impact 3rd world is summoned to the Honkai Impact 3rd world for 10 crystals.

Furthermore, combining separately forged artifacts into a one-star artifact has another advantage: it saves money.

Chen Li's Oddity Forger level is 4, which means that Chen Li's free affix capacity when forging oddities has reached 18 crystals.

In other words, when Chen Li crafts a rare item, he divides a complete one-star rare item into several beginner rare items for forging. The more items he divides into, the more money he saves.

However, a one-star artifact sometimes doesn't need many functions, so Chen Li rarely uses this strategy.

However, this feature is very useful when enhancing older artifacts.
