The Artifact Forger from the Beginning of Collapse

At least Jingliu didn't want anything else to provoke him.

“See, even mental patients know that mental patients are not to be trifled with,” Kaguya Houraisan whispered.

"Okay, I promise you. Take care, Kagami-sensei."

"Well, goodbye." Jingliu glanced at Houraisan Kaguya before his body slowly dissipated, leaving behind only a [Knight's Training] card and a ball of light containing the "experience".

"Hey, Li Bao." Kaguya Houraisan suddenly called out to Chen Li.

"Please don't call me that anymore, okay? What's wrong? Is there something you need?"

"You just called Kagami-sensei?"

"Yes, I'm learning swordsmanship from her."

"Swordsmanship? Teacher? Would you be interested in becoming a rebellious disciple? I can help you." Kaguya Houraisan's eyes lit up.

"Huh?" Chen Li was shocked by how quickly Kaguya Houraisan changed the subject.

"But we have a deal, if you lash out at her, you can't lash out at me, okay?" Kaguya Houraisan said cautiously.

"???"

Chapter 43 The Professional Counterfeit Drug Dealer – Kaguya Houraisan

"Is this room just for me, or can everyone who comes to your house stay here?" Houraisan Kaguya asked with a resentful tone, watching Chen Li skillfully arrange the room and make the bed after bringing her home.

"Stay if you want, leave if you don't."

"I was wrong, I'm sorry. By the way, give me the money, I want to spend it on in-game purchases." Kaguya Houraisan generously extended her hand to Chen Li.

"How can you ask for money so confidently?" Chen Li looked at Houraisan Kaguya with considerable surprise.

"Money is definitely out of the question, but I want my wages. Didn't I make dozens of fake medicines for you?" Kaguya Raiyama said matter-of-factly.

"Well... alright." Thinking that these fake pills could be exchanged for more entries from people in other worlds, Chen Li agreed and transferred the money directly to Kaguya Houraisan.

The medicine that Kaguya Houraisan made for Chen Li was supposedly fake, but it could indeed extend one's lifespan by about 10 years.

The power of eternity is indeed useful.

But it will be mine soon!

The "Eternity and Fleeting Power" model has been built, currently at 10% proficiency. It can be tried, but the results are unsatisfactory.

Indeed, observing the opponent use their abilities is the most efficient way to improve proficiency using star stones.

However, considering that I am still not proficient, and that making fake medicine myself requires star stones with poor results, while having Kaguya Houraisan make fake medicine only requires paying for a meal, it is indeed more cost-effective to use Kaguya Houraisan!

"Chen Li, since you can forge wondrous objects, why can't you forge one that can find coordinates in other worlds?" Kaguya Houraisan, satisfied after receiving the transfer, suddenly asked.

“Theoretically, yes, but I didn’t have that need before I met you,” Chen Li said.

Finding the Honkai World doesn't require coordinates, because the Honkai World and the Honkai World are within the same large world.

If Walter could travel between these two worlds, there's no reason why Chen Li couldn't.

And the "Seeking Requests" feature includes a "Miracle Request" function...

"So now, are you going to forge a special artifact for me?" Kaguya Houraisan asked, leaning closer to Chen Li.

[Going Home]: Forge a wondrous artifact for Kaguya Houraisan that will allow her to quickly return to the world.

Posted by: Kaguya Houraisan.

Reward: 30~100 Crystals

Risk: Medium to Very High

"???"

"What's wrong?" Seeing Chen Li's blank stare, Kaguya Houraisan asked curiously.

"Why don't you just not go back to Gensokyo?" Chen Li suddenly turned his head and said.

The little sprite originally added a feature for Chen Li that allowed him to view the number of Star Stones he could normally gain after completing a task.

However, considering that Chen Li never plays by the rules, this feature was removed.

Wouldn't it be more profitable to beat up the client after completing the commission?

Don't let the number of rewards limit the limits of your imagination!

"Huh? I'm not going back to Gensokyo, so you'll give me a home?"

"The main thing is to take you home, which is a bit risky," Chen Li said, stroking his chin.

Because the risk was too high, Chen Li used his prophetic ability for a brief moment just now.

This time, unlike in fairy tales, Kaguya Houraisan's request was very vague, so Chen Li only vaguely saw two images.

One scene shows the Dragon God chasing and beating up Kaguya of Houraisan. The narration states that the Dragon God has a strong aversion to strange objects that might disrupt the workings of the world.

Considering that Kaguya Houraisan wanted a wondrous artifact that could traverse the world, it's understandable that the Dragon God would have this idea.

Secondly, Yukari Yakumo uses a gap to spy on Kaguya Houraisan, who has already returned to Eientei. The narration states that the danger stems from Yukari Yakumo's desire for control and her sense of crisis regarding anything that might threaten Gensokyo.

"High risk? Where is it high? Traveling through worlds has always been this risky," Kaguya Houraisan said somewhat anxiously.

"But don't worry, it's not a big problem. Don't worry, just stay home and be a couch potato, I'll take care of the rest," Chen Li comforted him.

The Dragon God is both a dragon and a god; with both debuffs combined, dealing with Him is easy.

However, Yukari Yakumo is in a bit of a predicament because rare items like the Demon-Binding Rope have very limited applications, and it would be a waste to create one specifically for her.

"Your language is so vulgar," Kaguya Houraisan retorted.

"In short, if there are suitable keywords, I'll forge artifacts; if not, I'll wait for me to build up my reputation as an artifact forger! Once my reputation is established, I might receive requests from Gensokyo." Chen Li said, while casually flipping through the artifact forging guide and looking at his personal panel.

Reputation: Lv1 (28/100)

P.S.: Your reputation is virtually unknown.

This is a new attribute bar that appeared after Chen Li refreshed the Miracle Request for the first time.

While this assessment may sound somewhat derogatory, there is a level 0 to this level of fame. The assessment at that time was—your reputation is unknown.

Chen Li didn't quite understand the principle, but when he used crystals to refresh miracle commissions, he could increase his reputation points. As his reputation level increased, miracles might come to him because of his reputation and appear in the commission list on their own.

Miracle requests that are "connected" to Chen Li have a higher probability of being automatically refreshed.

After Kaguya Houraisan came into contact with Chen Li, a connection naturally formed between them.

The reason it's 28 reputation points is because you gain one reputation point for each crystal you invest in and each Miracle Quest you capture, and you gain a lot of reputation for completing a Quest.

Chen Li completed 7 commissions in total, gaining 7 reputation points.

Completing the cat's unlimited cat food request earned 10 reputation points, while completing Kikyo's request earned 21 reputation points.

It takes 10 reputation points to go from level 0 to level 1.

“No problem, I can wait.” Kaguya Houraisan accepted Chen Li’s offer.

Kaguya Houraisan has already waited two years, so she doesn't mind waiting another two years.

"Oh, right. If it's a rare artifact, you can only have the right to use it." Chen Li intended to make this clear beforehand.

If he were to create a wondrous artifact that could traverse the world, Chen Li would likely be able to use it frequently.

For example, you can summon a knight using the Pale Justice and then locate the opponent's coordinates through projection.

If there are no lucky encounters, then create them!

That said, does defeating a Heroic Spirit drop Heroic Spirit attributes?

"No way, I offered myself to you and all I got in return was the right to use it?" Kaguya Houraisan asked, somewhat surprised.

"If you say that again, I'll take it seriously."

"Just kidding." Kaguya Houraisan shrank back.

The thought that she now had to listen to Chen Li in everything she did made Kaguya Houraisan dare not continue teasing him.

"Tch." Chen Li said that he had seen plenty of trash talkers.

"Anyway, I don't plan to continue traveling to other worlds, so I don't need that kind of thing. Is everything alright now? Can I go play the game now?" Kaguya Houraisan, who hadn't played games for several hours, was getting a little itchy.

Kaguya Houraisan would rather stay home and die than travel to different worlds.

"Go have fun." Chen Li waved his hand.

"Goodbye!" Kaguya Houraisan ran off excitedly.

Watching Kaguya Houraisan's retreating figure, Chen Li pondered a feasible plan.

If Chen Li were to poke Kaguya of Houraisan with the Peace Longbow and trigger the "Eliminate the Weeds" effect, would he be able to track down Eirin Yagokoro, who is located in countless worlds?

"Even finding the coordinates of the Gensokyo world won't allow us to send Kaguya Houraisan back, but perhaps we can use the Peace Longbow to aim at Eirin Yagokoro and send a message across worlds. It's just that Eirin might feel a little pain..."

"Forget it, what if the flying arrow accidentally poks a hole in the Gensokyo Great Barrier? Yakumo Yukari would come after me to my death."

Taking this possibility into consideration, Chen Li decisively abandoned this somewhat inhuman idea.
