The Artifact Forger from the Beginning of Collapse

"Hmm. Hmm?" Chen Li, who was engrossed in eating the pink crystals that had automatically shattered and covered Alicia's sheets after she woke up, paused for a moment and slowly raised his head.

what did you say?

"Don't spit it out." Before Chen Li could make a move, Alicia reached out and covered Chen Li's mouth.

"Mmm..." Chen Li finally swallowed the crystal.

"You want me to create a marvel for you? Don't you already have one?" Chen Li asked, taking a pink crystal that was close to Alicia's thigh.

"..." Seeing Chen Li's bold move, and thinking that Chen Li would eat the crystal, Alicia's face couldn't help but turn red.

For Alicia, this way of playing was still too ahead of its time.

"What's wrong? Don't worry, I'll pay attention to food safety. I'll wash crystals like these that are close to my skin before eating them," Chen Li said, noticing Alicia staring intently at the crystal in her hand.

"That's not the point! Never mind. Anyway, I feel like this pure and beautiful power is somewhat compatible with my power, but not quite." Alicia decisively chose to change the subject.

"I won't ask you why you think that way... What kind of wondrous object do you want to create?" Chen Li did not directly reject Alicia's suggestion.

If Alicia's forging request can generate more revenue than the crystals Chen Li spends, Chen Li wouldn't mind forging another rare item.

Alicia's situation is different from that of the Great Black Tower. The Great Black Tower asked Chen Li to create a magical artifact that could conjure up clothes that would make a specific target's heart flutter, which was clearly aimed at Chen Li...

Moreover, this cannot create miracles at all.

A blacksmith who only knows how to "create" miracles.

"Here. This is all the power I could extract related to the Pure Beauty Envoy. The entries should be quite impressive, right? It's yours." Alicia clutched her chest, and a pink ball of light slowly emerged, landing in Alicia's hand before being sent to Chen Li.

Alicia originally needed to sleep for a week to fully digest all the power, but after only two days, she felt that continuing to acquire the power of purity would go against her path, so Alicia broke free from the ice.

However, Alicia does not deny that this is related to her projection witnessing the end and then bringing the memories back to her.

Origin and End...

For Alicia, a born Herrscher of Man and Herrscher of Origin, the shock of witnessing the End was even greater than Alicia had originally imagined.

Perhaps what I lack needs to be made up for from the end, rather than a perfect destiny.

Pure beauty is enough.

"Dispose of it arbitrarily?"

"You can do whatever you want with it... but you can only eat one bite, just a tiny bite!"

"Haha... I wasn't planning on eating it, but since you've allowed it, Alicia, I won't be polite." Chen Li took the ball of light and took a bite.

"Hmph, don't I know you?" Alicia rolled her eyes at Chen Li.

"Uh-huh."

"In exchange, you must take me with you when you edit the Cocoon of the End for the second time. I need to feel the power of the End... Don't spit it out." Alicia covered Chen Li's mouth again.

"Are you worried that entering the Cocoon of the End will cause me irreversible damage? Thank you for your concern, but I think I'm fine." Alicia patted Chen Li's head.

After racking her brains, Alicia could only come up with this reason; otherwise, she couldn't explain why Chen Li didn't want her to enter the Cocoon of the End with him.

It couldn't possibly be because of shyness, could it?

“And if all else fails, you can summon my projection.” Alicia had a sudden inspiration.

The fact that the "experience" gained from the clone projection is fed back to the main body can be confirmed by the fact that the power of the Pure Beauty Envoy was brought to Alicia through the projection.

"Ahem, whatever makes you happy." Chen Li hesitated for a moment, then could only nod helplessly.

"Do you have any ideas on what kind of artifact you want to create with this power?" Alicia asked.

"You need to provide at least one idea so I can assess the returns and decide how much crystal to invest in crafting this marvel."

“In that case… let’s create a public artifact, as a benefit for the members of the artifact group. I have enough artifacts.” Alicia said, tugging at the black stockings on her legs.

Because this attack speed armor has an automatic cleaning function, and is soft, comfortable, delicate, and very beautiful, Alicia wore it even before falling asleep.

"Hmm... a public artifact, then the harvest of crystals must be quite substantial." Chen Li nodded.

The amount of crystals obtained from forging a rare artifact depends on how many miracles that artifact can create in the hands of its user.

Therefore, the number of miracles created by artifacts that can be used by multiple people should be quite large, and the rewards will naturally be substantial.

This was the first time Chen Li had received a commission to create a public-type artifact.

"If possible, it would be even better if more beautiful girls could use it," Alicia added.

"..." Chen Li pointed at Alicia.

"You really have nothing but pretty girls on your mind!"

"Hey!"

"But it's not impossible... however, I need to take a small portion of Pure Beauty's power as payment."

“No problem.” Alicia did not refuse.

After obtaining Alicia's permission, Chen Li summoned the projection of the Myriad Manifestations Cutting and cut off a small piece from the sphere of light.

This is not ordinary pure beauty power, but the power of pure beauty envoy.

This perfectly matches the conditions of the request made by the Little Black Tower to Chen Li: to gather the power of all destinies and concentrate it on himself, so that he can transform from the Little Black Tower into a small "Broken Iron World".

A pure and beautiful destiny, now in hand.

But how to secure a place for reproduction remains a question.

Chen Li glanced at the rewards and risks of Alicia's commission.

Reward: 50-70 Crystals

Risk: Low to Medium

Considering that this is a complete set of command powers, even if Alicia has digested a portion of it, and Chen Li has taken a bite and cut off a small piece, there is still more than 50% left. This kind of benefit seems reasonable.

"Wait for me for 20 minutes. You two chat for a while." After handing over the task of chatting with Alicia to Velvi, Chen Li went to the living room to create the artifact.

As long as no one complains about the noise of the blacksmith's hammer, you can forge wondrous objects anywhere.

The entry for "Pure Beauty" is very eye-catching, but entries for "Strange Things" are not advisable.

Moreover, when Alicia mentioned public artifacts, Chen Li thought of his other two artifacts, which could also be upgraded a little.

……

"Here's the rare item you requested. Please give me a good review, thank you." Chen Li handed a beautiful flower crown to Alicia.

"What are the effects of this strange item? It actually took you an hour to forge it?" Velvi was very surprised.

"I not only spent an hour crafting this wondrous item, but I also enhanced two beginner wondrous items: the Merit Balance and the Forced Transaction Gold Coins," Chen Li explained.

Because these two artifacts are also suitable as public artifacts.

The latter goes without saying; after enhancement, it can also increase the upper limit of the forced transaction gold coin constraint. Now, the upper limit of this wonder item can definitely reach the Star God... Chen Li was referring to the extremely unfair forced nature of the transaction.

The former enhancement increases the output of morally superior praise and appropriately relaxes the restrictions on behaviors that produce morally superior praise. Now, even "white lies" can obtain morally superior praise.

"This strange item is called... [The Privilege of a Beautiful Girl]. When the user conforms to people's perception of a beautiful girl, they can do certain things that are impossible and related to the concept of a beautiful girl. For example, if you believe that being able to understand cats is a privilege of beautiful girls, then you can understand cats. Remember, the important thing is that you really believe that, and that you are actually somewhat related to a beautiful girl."

"What if I thought that the beautiful girl was strong enough to lift up the entire Mu Continent?" Velvi asked.

"...Probably not, because you wouldn't really think that way, and this matter has nothing to do with pretty girls," Chen Li said after hesitating for a long time.

"With strength to uproot mountains and an aura that covers the world," is this really used to describe a beautiful girl?

“What if I think that beautiful girls are omnipotent?” Alicia asked.

“That’s fine. Because you really do feel that way, and people often associate beautiful girls with being very powerful. But there are limits to this kind of omnipotence.” Chen Li nodded.

“But if I can use the privilege of being a beautiful girl to make myself omnipotent, then why can’t I lift up the Mu Continent?” Velvi countered.

“…Save those words for [The Privilege of Beautiful Girls].” Chen Li took off Wilvi’s hat and then placed the flower wreath on Wilvi’s head.

You can use the privileges of a beautiful girl to make yourself invincible and lift up the Mu Continent, but you can't use the privileges of a beautiful girl to lift up the Mu Continent!

"Come on, conjure up some flowers from this hat," Chen Li said in an unyielding tone.

"But I wasn't prepared..."

"The magical girl can conjure flowers out of her hat at will. Give it a try, how do you know it won't work if you don't try?"

Encouraged and urged by Chen Li, Vilvi reached for her hat.

Then... she took out a flower.

"This strange object is very interesting. If the combination of a beautiful girl and a magician can make me conjure flowers and things that correspond to the magician's behavior anywhere, then will the combination of a beautiful girl and a Valkyrie make the Valkyrie invincible? Will the beautiful magical girl be countered by the tentacle monster..." Velvi couldn't help but start to let her thoughts wander.

"Your idea is dangerous," Chen Li flicked Wilvi's forehead.

Why do magical girls always have to be countered by tentacle monsters?

Where did you get this stereotype from?

"I think the beautiful girl Herrscher of Origin can change into pretty clothes whenever she wants!" Alicia took the flower wreath from Velvet's head and put it on her own, then snapped her fingers lightly.

Alicia's body began to glow, and her clothes disappeared, leaving only her [Attack Speed ​​Gear].

And then a beautiful outfit appeared next to it.

In a sense, Alicia succeeded.

But... it failed.
