The Artifact Forger from the Beginning of Collapse

Chen Li doesn't need Kaguya Houraisan to repay him with her body, but Chen Li's request is that Kaguya Houraisan listen to him under reasonable circumstances and not harm him.

Kaguya Houraisan's words perfectly fulfilled the aforementioned conditions.

Because Chen Li's expectations were met, Kaguya Houraisan's expectation of returning home was also met. Therefore, Kaguya Houraisan's "I'll do whatever you say" was considered a voluntary additional gift.

Despite a minor mishap, Chen Li was still quite satisfied with this extraordinary item.

If this strange object could fool Kaguya of Houraisan, it can fool others as well.

Chen Li can do without this function, but it cannot be without it.

Anyway, Chen Li just needs to control himself and not talk nonsense.

"Besides offering herself in return, how do we handle any additional gifts?" Kaguya Houraisan asked, somewhat troubled.

"Then it depends on my conscience." Chen Li shrugged and gave up.

P.S.: Five chapters are here! Please give me some recommendation votes and monthly tickets, mua~~

py: Recommending a friend's book: "This Chat Group Has a Different Style"

Summary:

Good news, after traveling through time, it is still a peaceful everyday world.

Bad news, there is a chat group where all the members have unique skills.

Kiana: My friends, run away! I have a dual personality!

Tallulah: One hundred people challenged to live in the snowfield for a week with ten kilograms of flour. Come on! Let's do it, brothers!!

Toyokawa Shoko: The boss is in arrears with wages again, so annoying, it's been two months since I paid, I think this damn boss wants to change his mind! Family, gather in Tokyo tonight! Get ready to steal hearts!!

Yuuto Itadori: Elbow Power! Three Stages! I have mastered the ability to transform magical power into elbow power. Now it's time to elbow Sukuna Ryoumen and unleash the Elbow Technique Return Battle!

.....

Suddenly, I traveled to a happy and beautiful everyday world, and also had a dimensional chat group. The two joys overlapped with each other. I should have had a dreamlike happy time. However, why did it turn out like this...

Why is your painting style different from normal people?

Chapter 42 Kaguya: You can't use the Mirror Stream if you go after it, okay?

"Is there no other way?" Kaguya Houraisan was still somewhat unwilling to give up.

"It's not entirely impossible. If I forge a rare artifact made of 100 crystals, it might be able to counteract the effects of this artifact," Chen Li said.

The struggle between strange objects is, in essence, a struggle between rules.

The higher the priority of the rules of the artifact, the more it can restrain the other artifact.

The basic premise is similar to that in the Type-Moon universe, where mystery is rendered ineffective in the face of mystery of a higher order.

In terms of specific manifestation, it actually comes down to the brightness of the "strange item" entry.

"Then why don't you forge it?"

"You're going to give me the power of miracles?" Chen Li rolled his eyes at Kaguya Houraisan.

"The power of miracles?" Kaguya Houraisan suddenly realized a blind spot.

"Yes, you guessed right. Some things just happen by chance." Chen Li nodded frankly.

"That ball of light ended up in your hands?" Kaguya Houraisan's eyes widened.

"To be precise, the light sphere exhausted its power of miracles, so it merged with me. In other words, the light sphere went bankrupt and was liquidated, and I acquired it," Chen Li said.

"Hmm...when did this happen?"

Just yesterday.

"Then do you think it's possible that it came looking for me, but you intercepted it? After all, I can safely travel through worlds; I'm a chosen one." Kaguya Houraisan proposed a hypothesis.

"Give up your illusions. The Miracle System has just gone bankrupt, not gotten senile." Chen Li patted Kaguya Houraisan on the shoulder.

"Damn it, at least give me a little space for fantasy. Anyway, let's not talk about that. Now that you've got that orb of light, you should be able to help me get back to Gensokyo, right?" Kaguya Houraisan asked expectantly.

"Well... it depends on luck. If you're lucky, you might be able to go home in a few days; if you're unlucky, you might have to wait several more years," Chen Li said.

"What do you mean?"

"Well... if I want to go to Gensokyo, I first need to find a forging request from someone in Gensokyo and establish contact before I can travel there," Chen Li said.

The Miracle System recorded my experiences in that world, but it did not provide world coordinates.

It was Yakumo Yukari's line—"Get out of this world and never come back." And then the Miracle System actually deleted the coordinates of this world.

But Chen Li didn't dare say those words out loud, afraid that Kaguya Hokusai would be so angry that she would die.

"Like her?" Kaguya Houraisan pointed at Kagami-ryu.

"More or less." Chen Li nodded.

Even though they were talking about Kagami, Kagami himself remained completely silent.

Because Kaguya Houraisan, with Chen Li's permission, handed over the online information about Kagami-ryu to Kagami-ryu.

Chen Li allowed it because Jing Liu couldn't possibly refuse the artifact that Chen Li had created for her that could potentially summon Bai Heng.

"Then go ahead and swipe it."

"Refreshing a commission requires the power of miracles."

"How do you earn the power of miracles? I'll help you earn it."

"Don't worry about that. Just stay home and relax. I'll let you know if there's any news," Chen Li said.

"Are you leaving now?"

"Yes, my time is very precious." Chen Li nodded.

Chen Li had achieved his goal and was now ready to take his leave.

“Okay, wait for me a moment, I’ll pack up and go home with you.” Kaguya Houraisan stood up.

"Oh, come home with me?"

"Yeah, I've already offered myself to you, and you still won't let me move into your house?"

"……to be honest."

"I'm so poor I'm practically eating bamboo shoots. If you don't take me in, I'll be so poor I'll be eating dirt. I won't die, but starving to death is really awful," Kaguya Houraisan confessed.

Kaguya Houraisan hadn't anticipated Chen Li and Kagami's arrival. She certainly hadn't expected them to come at lunchtime.

This made things even worse for Kaguya Houraisan's already impoverished living expenses.

"How come you're so poor? Where's the money I gave you?"

Chen Li has a fixed monthly expense that is used to purchase the immortal remains of Kaguya of Hourai Mountain, which is a considerable sum.

All of this money was earned by Chen Li himself.

Blacksmiths of rank one or higher will never lack money.

“I paid for it.” Kaguya Houraisan said straightforwardly.

"..."

“I will pay the rent, with my body… I mean, the immortal remains.”

"No need for that. Just use your Eternal Power to make me some fake medicine."

"Fake medicine? Okay." Kaguya Houraisan nodded.

"Let's go then. Anyway, I'm used to the occasional person I pick up staying at my place."

“Okay.” Although Chen Li’s words sounded strange, Kaguya Houraisan was in a hurry to pack her luggage and didn’t ask any further questions.

Chen Li, Jing Liu, and Kaguya Houraisan arrived at the apartment entrance, where Kaguya Houraisan stretched out her fair hand towards the bamboo grove in the living room.

The once enormous bamboo forest transformed into a crystal ball after the shifts in time and the upheaval of heaven and earth. Kaguya Houraisan took it into her hand and pressed it into her body.

This is the inner world.

"Then, Jingliu-sensei, you..." Chen Li tentatively spoke, looking at Jingliu who had been silent for a long time after reading the basic information of [Honkai: Star Railway].

"Do me a favor," Jingliu said, looking up.

"whats the matter?"

“I will choose not to retain the memories of this projection; you will keep them for me. Once you have forged the unique artifact that will help me suppress the demonic body, you will give these memories to the real me,” Jingliu said.

The projection summoned using Pale Justice can be chosen not to save the memory of this projection.

"Master Jingliu, are you worried that your true form can't withstand such a huge impact?" Chen Li asked.

“No, I have confidence in myself and believe I’m not some character from a game. I’m just afraid that if I, who am already on the verge of demonic possession, learn this information, I might do something even crazier,” Jingliu said.

At least for now, Jingliu thinks the current plan shown in the game's progress is good enough and doesn't need to be changed.

But Jingliu also knows that he is now in a normal state, not the state on the verge of becoming a demon.
