The Artifact Forger from the Beginning of Collapse

"..."

"..."

"ah!!!"

"I'll go and modify this strange object again." After snatching the strange object back from Alicia's head, Chen Li ran out.

As it turns out, the thoughts of beautiful young girls can sometimes be dangerous and uncontrollable.

If one indulges in wild thoughts while possessing this rare object, the consequences could become very unpredictable.

……

"Alright, this time there's definitely no problem. This time I've added a risk warning function and a smart selection function." Chen Li handed the flower wreath to Alicia, who was wearing a pink dress and looked angry.

Alicia's clothes disappeared, and she is now wearing the clothes that had just appeared.

"Just like just now, Alicia, your mishap wasn't because the artifact was bad, but because your thinking was wrong. You should think: a beautiful girl can freely transform her clothes into other pretty clothes... Okay, never mind."

“I’ll try again. And I’ll repeat what I just said. If it still doesn’t work this time… dear Li, you’ll need to take responsibility for your product and for me,” Alicia said with a smile.

"I guarantee there won't be any unexpected problems."

“I think the beautiful girl Herrscher of Origin can change into pretty clothes whenever she wants!” Alicia said again.

After a pause, Alicia's entire body began to glow, and then her pink dress transformed back into Alicia's original attire.

"Alright, no problem. This time, a risk warning and different options appeared quickly when I used it. I chose to change back into my original clothes instead of changing into a different outfit, and it worked." Alicia breathed a sigh of relief.

To be honest, Alicia was also on edge just now.

They fear a repeat of the classic scenario.

"Let's forget about what just happened," Alicia said, looking at Chen Li.

"To be honest, I can't forget a thing." Chen Li blinked innocently.

“…Then consider it payment for the forging.” Alicia said irritably.

Alicia was also bothered by the sudden disappearance of her clothes, but considering that Chen Li hadn't received any payment and had sacrificed so much to fight the Honkai, she let it go this time.

"This is the most unusual forging reward I've ever received..."

“Beautiful girls can tell if someone is lying… So Chen Li, answer me, what are you thinking right now?” Alicia suddenly asked Chen Li.

"Ms. Alicia's beauty is unparalleled!" Chen Li replied immediately!

"Hmm...you passed." Alicia regarded the special intuition bestowed upon her by the artifact as a consolation prize.

Alicia knew that the effects of using magical objects on Chen Li were extremely poor, but she decided to take the lie detector results as fact for the time being.

After all, even beautiful girls can deceive themselves.

"This artifact costs 35 crystals. Although it doesn't have an exceptionally outstanding effect, it's versatile... Come on, let's see how many rewards we can get by placing this artifact in the public artifact section of the artifact group." Chen Li said after taking the wreath from Alicia.

Friends, this is a high-stakes gamble.

Although the standard of "beautiful girl" is actually very strict, there are indeed not many men in the group, so this strange item is still quite versatile.

[Ding! You have gained 78 crystals this time!]

"A resounding victory!" Chen Li cheered, then placed the Merit Balance and Forced Transaction Gold Coins in the public curated item list.

There are now four oddities in the public oddities display (the other one is Mom's tablecloth).

Everyone received a notification that a new item had been added to the public artifact inventory and learned the conditions for using it.

[Mom's Tablecloth] costs one star stone. If you don't have one, you can pay for it later. Everyone is used to this.

"The requirement for using the beautiful girl's privilege is... each time it's used, you need to pay Alicia one [Sticking Coupon]. I like this reward." Alicia was quite happy after seeing this reward.

Although Alicia doesn't need sticker tickets to stick with any cute girls, then again, who wouldn't want to collect sticker tickets from cute girls?

"The scales of merit require... that the [praise of lofty morality] gained through doing good deeds be split 50/50 with you, Chen Li?" Wilvi couldn't help but look at Chen Li.

“I can’t do good deeds all the time, but there are always people doing good deeds. So why not rent out the unused merit scales? When I need to use them, I can just summon the projection of the merit scales myself, right?” Chen Li said.

The artifact projection can only be used by Chen Li, and its consumption is not high.

Therefore, for Chen Li, the optimal solution is to send out those rare items that are not frequently used to generate revenue.

What do you do when you're idle at home? Offer your own "praise of lofty morality"?

"Forced gold coin trading... Each use costs one star stone, and you can owe it if you don't have any. Isn't this condition too lenient?" Alicia asked.

“I believe everyone will make good use of the forced transaction coins… If they don’t know what it means to make good use of them, I will take responsibility for teaching them.” Chen Li clenched his fist.

"That's alright then. It's good that you know what's going on." Alicia was relieved.

"Furthermore, I will also receive Star Stones for using the artifacts I lend out to have an impact on the world. So theoretically, the more public artifacts the better."

"I see... Then I'll mention it in the group chat, encouraging everyone to put any unused oddities they have into the public oddity section. This will help other group members and also earn you some income." After saying that, Alicia started sending out messages.

Upon seeing the message, the first person to upload their unusual item to the public list of unusual items was... Kikyo.

Because Kikyo had almost wiped out all the monsters in the entire Warring States period with her Peace Bow, the Warring States period truly became "peaceful," and then... the Peace Bow was left unused.

The Peace Longbow requires one star stone to use each time, and can be used on credit.

Kikyo had originally sent a private message to Chen Li wanting to share half of the star stones with him, but Chen Li said there was no need for that, as he didn't need those star stones.

It's more important to let group members obtain Star Stones, because they can use Star Stones to create even more Star Stones.

And then... nobody played Legendary items anymore.

Because truly versatile and extraordinary objects are always few and far between.

The robin's microphone is a marvel only for robins.

Alicia's black stockings cannot be shared with others.

She uses the key to the Great Black Tower's destiny on the Silent Lord every day.

Xilin couldn't bear to hang her tattered collection of artifacts on the public curio board.

Pleasure dice are also unsuitable, because Chen Li often needs to use dice for important matters, so the pleasure points are very important and cannot be wasted.

It's even less suitable for Meng Ying to be; that's a rare item reserved by the Immortal Ship.

So Chen Li thought about it and added the [Slap Gloves] and [Always Available] items to the list, just to enrich the group members' methods of fighting enemies and escaping.

Of the 31 artifacts, 7 became public artifacts, which is a fairly high percentage.

Of the seven public artifacts, the palm-sized glove vanished instantly.

[Star Stones +2025]

"???" Chen Li was stunned when he saw that his balance had suddenly increased by more than 2000.

What happened?

[Sunday]: Phew, it felt so good to clean up the little black guy with a slap glove.

"...Oh no, I forgot to block Sundays!" Chen Li suddenly realized what he had forgotten.

Okay, let's have a moment of silence for Xiao Heizi for 10 seconds.

1...10!

"Chen Li, why are you smiling so happily?" asked Wilvi, who was standing next to him.

Chen Li's smile is harder to suppress than AK's.

"I remembered happy things."

"What's the happy thing?"

“2000 star stones per slap… Ellie, you know Eden, right?” Chen Li asked Ellie.

"That's right. What's wrong?"

"Ask Eden if they need a blacklist removal service."

"Probably not, because Eden's haters are even harder to find than the Golden Houmu King in Houmu Paradise."

"OK then……"

Chen Li never expected that cleaning up the haters would happen so quickly through Star Stone!

On closer inspection, it makes sense, after all, the robin is a superstar of the galaxy.

I'm not sure how many haters there are, but there are definitely a lot of paid trolls pretending to be haters.

I wonder how many people's faces were slapped by that one slap on Sunday.

"So what should we do now?"

The three of them fell into thought.

Staying in Alicia's room all the time isn't a solution.

Then, all three of them gave their answers simultaneously.

“Let’s go find Mebius. I need to see the results of her fusion surgery on the snake with a scalpel, and also check if Mebius’s tongue has split,” Chen Li said.

This is because it concerns whether Chen Li should spend his energy capturing various rare and precious items that fall from the sky to use as fusion materials for the Thirteen Heroes!

“Let’s go find Mebius. I’m curious if Mebius can be captured by a non-modified Poké Ball after successfully fusing with Snake,” Velvet said.
