The Artifact Forger from the Beginning of Collapse

Qingque had a lot of complaints about this.

Dad: ...

Qingque: Right?

Dad: ...

Qingque: I! Just! Know! Then you should go find the Heavenly Ship Bureau.

Dad: No, don't worry, I will definitely reason with you and appeal to your emotions, and I will try my best to be gentle. Besides, it's too late now even if you don't want to.

Qingque: What do you mean?

Dad: Because I'm on top of you now.

"Hmm?" When Qingque subconsciously looked up after receiving the news, she saw a figure falling from an amber-colored hole in the sky.

It fell with a thud onto the delivery box next to it.

"Hiss... It doesn't hurt, but the teleportation is completely inaccurate." Chen Li said as he climbed up from the box.

Chen Li pondered that whether he asked Qing Que to be his guide and teleport him to the vicinity, or used the Herrscher of the Void's ability to teleport to the vicinity, he would have to spend Star Stones. He might as well use them on the latter to increase his proficiency.

The location tracking was done by using the location information of Chen Li's friends on WeChat Moments.

The noise from the outside world gradually reached Chen Li's ears. Chen Li looked closely and found that he was in a small alley.

The alley wasn't narrow, and it was bustling with people coming and going. The noise here was completely drowned out by the outside noise and didn't attract anyone's attention.

"Qingque, where did you go? I just glanced down to check the updated wanted poster and you vanished." Fu Xuan's voice rang out from outside the alley.

"Leave the rest to me." Chen Li gave Qing Que a thumbs up and ran straight towards the direction of Fu Xuan's voice.

"Huh?" Qingque felt uneasy and quickly chased after him.

"Lord Fu Xuan, I have something to discuss with you that concerns the safety of the entire Immortal Ship."

Qingque peeked out of the alley and overheard Chen Li and Fu Xuan's conversation.

"Huh? Wait, you're that wanted criminal?!" Although Fu Xuan felt that Chen Li's words seemed quite sincere, he was still very wary of Chen Li.

Chen Li's childlike innocence had an effect on Fu Xuan.

"That's right. By the way, Lord Fu Xuan, what color burlap sack do you prefer?"

"Huh? If I had to say, I'd say pink." Fu Xuan was completely taken aback by Chen Li's abrupt change of topic.

"Okay." Chen Li nodded, then used "Intimidate" on Fu Xuan.

Although it sounds strange, Fu Xuan and the other immortals from the Immortal Ship, being long-lived beings, are clearly not ordinary people. When facing Chen Li, they will also trigger the intimidation effect of the Miracle Card. (Effect: Any demons, monsters, ghosts, or evil people will first face an intimidation effect when facing you.)

This Miracle Card's effect is a first-time kill; the effect is best on the first use.

So Qingque watched helplessly as Fu Xuan stood there dumbfounded, then Chen Li pulled out a pink sack from who-knows-where, put it in his pocket, hoisted it up, and ran straight into a new amber-colored portal.

"Oh my god! The wanted criminal has arrested the Grand Diviner!" Chen Li's act of violence in broad daylight caused an uproar.

Qingque, on the other hand, squatted down with her head in her hands.

Qingque was completely numb.

……

"You bastard! I actually believed you for a moment!" Fu Xuan glared fiercely at Chen Li.

"Lord Fu Xuan, I really didn't lie to you. I truly have something important to discuss with you, concerning the survival of the entire Luo Fu Immortal Ship," Chen Li said earnestly.

"Is this how you negotiate with others?" Fu Xuan looked down at the thing that was trapping him, and became even angrier.

A burlap sack, a pink burlap sack.

Have you considered my feelings?

Did you even consider how I felt when you stuffed me into a sack and carried me away in front of everyone?

If you do this, how am I supposed to become a general?

You really only think about yourself!

After Fu Xuan was put into the sack, Chen Li loosened a small opening in the sack, allowing Fu Xuan to stick his head out, and then quickly tied it tight.

Fu Xuan tried his best to break free of the sack, but even he, a dignified Grand Diviner, was helpless against it.

"Alright, Lord Taibu, stop trying to struggle. You can't break free, at least not within a day."

Although Chen Li was telling the truth and Fu Xuan believed him, Fu Xuan was not convinced at all.

"What material did you use for this burlap sack?!" Fu Xuan said, quite annoyed, after trying it for a long time.

"It's based on my achievements in slaying demons and monsters," Chen Li said.

[Cleanup Master] Effect 2: You can manipulate any container capable of holding trash to imprison others. The duration and intensity of imprisonment depend on the sins committed by the imprisoned individual. (A deluxe version of the container can be woven using merit points, which will enhance its effect.)

Burlap sacks are also containers for holding garbage.

Although Fu Xuan had not committed any sins, the deluxe sack was obviously not something he could easily break free from.

With the added intimidation effect, this sack gives Chen Li a 95% chance of using it to trap and carry away someone who is not an ordinary person.

Chen Li didn't care about the consumption of merit points, because the consumption was not much to begin with.

Besides, what is Chen Li's purpose in earning merit? Isn't it just to make things easier for Chen Li himself? Just like now.

You can earn more when you run out.

Randomly choose an unfortunate world and help them clean up the filth that ravages the world. Earn some crystals and starstones in the process.

"What it is?"

"Alright, let's talk about serious matters," Chen Li said, putting his arm around Fu Xuan's shoulder.

"Let me go first."

"No, if I let you go, you'll beat me up." Chen Li shook his head.

"You're quite self-aware. Well, at least tell me where you've taken me, right?"

"I don't know, I just randomly teleported to this place. Speaking of which, where is this?" Chen Li looked around the room he was in with curiosity.

“Unauthorized trespassing is an even more serious crime!” said Fu Xuan, who was standing nearby.

"Hey, I've already abducted the Grand Diviner of the Imperial Astrology Bureau, why would I be afraid of this charge? Anyway, just add this charge to my name, and you'll be the ones with headaches when you help me clear my name." Chen Li waved his hand, not caring about Fu Xuan's words.

Just kidding, I'm a righteous partner who saves the world!

How could he possibly be a wanted criminal forever?

Hmm... it's not impossible.

Chen Li's eyes lit up.

In fact, Chen Li had tested this in his own main world. If he deliberately delayed getting involved in trouble, the trouble seemed to significantly increase his gains, because trouble and gains are necessarily equal.

The word "seems" is used because Chen Li did not have a clear control group.

In the Immortal Ship, after his talents were enhanced by the Miracle System, he could give it a try.

If you were wanted in every world you visited, would your earnings in each world be significantly higher?

Although he was wearing a restraint bracelet, the restraint bracelet naturally knew when he needed the passive effect of "Fate Vortex" to take effect.

The restraint bracelet is for this purpose.

"Master Taibu, you are simply a genius."

"Then you still need to tell me?"

"Then, Lord Taibu, do you have any way to quickly get me on the Interstellar Peace Corporation's wanted list?"

"What?" Fu Xuan looked at the madman in front of him in confusion.

Fu Xuan would not belittle Xianzhou, but compared to the Interstellar Peace Corporation, whose influence spans most of the known universe, the spread of Xianzhou's wanted posters would be weaker.

Once you're on the Interstellar Peace Corporation's wanted list, you're really in for a rough time, unless you go to a planet that has never had any contact with the Interstellar Peace Corporation.

"I didn't expect that even the dignified Grand Diviner couldn't come up with such a method. Then I seriously doubt your ability to save the Immortal Ship." Chen Li used reverse psychology while searching for useful information in the room.

"Who says I can't think of anything? The fastest way to increase your bounty is naturally to commit evil deeds, especially to commit evil deeds at the headquarters of the Interstellar Peace Corporation."

"We won't do anything illegal or disorderly," Chen Li shook his head.

“...Another way is to join an established criminal gang, such as the Star Core Hunters.” Fu Xuan’s gaze toward Chen Li became increasingly strange.

Fu Xuan could hear the sincerity in Chen Li's words, but how could someone who had kidnapped the Grand Diviner of the Grand Divination Bureau in public say such a thing?

“That makes sense. Speaking of which, one of my teachers and one of the Star Core Hunters were sworn brothers.” Chen Li held up one finger.

Chen Li refers to Mirror Flow and Blade.

"You still say you won't do anything illegal or disorderly?"

"You can't say that, Lord Taibu. How can you judge people with prejudice? My teacher has a life-and-death friendship with one of the Star Core Hunters, but that doesn't mean my teacher is a wanted criminal. Oh no, she really is a wanted criminal on the Immortal Ship, but that doesn't mean I would do anything illegal."

"A wanted criminal from the Immortal Ship? Who?"

"Guess? Oh, I found it. The owner of this house was named... Tingyun? I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry for disturbing the deceased's belongings." Chen Li quickly apologized.

An ancient Chinese saying goes: "Respect the dead."
