The Artifact Forger from the Beginning of Collapse

"I'm thinking about it in my mind," Chen Li said casually.

In Chen Li's opinion, the most important thing about the ability to "eat books" is that it saves him some brainpower.

Memorizing knowledge is not the same as learning knowledge.

Learning is harder than memorizing.

Reading and trying to understand at the same time left Chen Li feeling dizzy and confused all morning.

But now that's not necessary. Chen Li only needs to remember, and he can "digest" what he understands by eating.

Moreover, this also allows Chen Li to appreciate the beauty of knowledge.

The setting sun and the lone wild goose fly together, and the autumn water and the sky are the same color.

When I was reciting this sentence, I just felt a little cool.

But only by truly understanding it can one appreciate how exquisite this poem is!

People often joke that they encountered the most beautiful poetry at an age when they couldn't understand beauty at all. It's a classic case of "a wild boar can't eat fine chaff."

Experiencing the beauty of knowledge sounds strange and is of no use to Chen Li.

But what if we add "Sincerity"?

The pure-hearted knight Silver Branch possesses a childlike innocence. Under his tutelage, Chen Li acquired a sincere heart, though he was slightly inferior.

But in the future, Chen Li may even surpass Yin Zhi.

Because Chen Li now felt that Qing Que, who was lying listlessly on the desk in the library, had a kind of "non-action" beauty about her.

"Uh, Chen Li, why are you looking at me like that?" Qing Que asked, feeling a little embarrassed by Chen Li's stare.

“I’m just trying to understand non-action,” Chen Li said.

"Hmm, do you also want to embark on the path of slacking off? I'll teach you. First, you need to learn how to fight Emperor Yuan Qiongyu. Let me tell you, a life without fighting Emperor Yuan Qiongyu is absolutely boring." Qingque instantly became interested.

“…Okay, that sounds interesting.” Chen Li nodded.

"Great! Finally, I have a card-playing buddy in the library!" Qingque cheered.

"Oh, by the way, Qingque, if you're really bored in the library, I can recommend a way to pass the time," Chen Li said.

"Let me tell you, I finished all my work before I started slacking off, so how can you say I was bored? I was just making good use of my time." Qingque denied that she was slacking off.

"...If you don't want to hear it, then forget it."

"Listen, listen, listen."

"Because I haven't crafted any rare items for you yet, I haven't added you to the rare item group on my WeChat Moments. Now that I've added you, you can create a mini-game program in the group. You can then play online against the Imperial Jade. Although it won't be as exciting as playing offline, at least it can relieve some boredom," Chen Li said.

Although there is no feature to create games on WeChat Moments yet, you can upload games by scanning a QR code.

This is equivalent to uploading the data to the group file.

For example, there are already many online games uploaded by Houraisan Kaguya in the Oddities group, but unfortunately no one plays with her.

Chen Li had been trying to find her gaming partners, but hadn't been able to.

Yes, I'll definitely look for it today!

“Interesting…” Qingque became interested in this.

"Beep beep!" Just as Chen Li pulled Qing Que into the Qi Wu group and saw the group full of people copying and pasting photos of the newcomer in women's clothing, but instantly losing interest after learning that Qing Que was a girl, Chen Li's communication device rang.

"What's wrong? Robin, is something the matter?" Chen Li directly answered the emergency communication sent by the Strange Item Forging Guide.

Chen Li has already told many people that they should use the communication module of the Strange Item Forging Guide to contact each other only if there is an emergency, and use their WeChat Moments to contact each other if there is no emergency.

Because you can read posts on WeChat Moments without replying.

This is especially true for the fireworks that bother me every morning and on Sundays.

"Chen Li, something's happened."

"What's wrong? It can't be that someone is causing you trouble because of the sleepless night, right? Didn't I clearly put all the blame on Master Boshi?" Chen Li asked, puzzled.

"Hmm?" Qingque, completely unconcerned, turned her head and glanced at Chen Li.

What did I just hear?

"No, that's not it. It was King Screwgoom of Screw Star who came to me with an invitation from the Genius Club," the robin said nervously.

"Huh? Miss Robin, you've been invited to the Genius Club?" Bluebird, who was already quite surprised to see that the person in the video was the famous singer Robin, was dumbfounded.

Could it be that Chen Li accidentally took me away from the original timeline?

The famous singer Robin has started to pursue scientific research and academic excellence.

Isn't she afraid of her career collapsing because of her falsified academic credentials?

She's so brave!

"It wasn't me. He's looking for Chen Li. Since he can't find Chen Li, he can only come to me." Although the robin didn't know who the bluebird was, he still answered the bluebird's question.

"Oh, I remember now. Master Boshi did mention this to me." Chen Li slammed his right fist against his left palm, as if he had remembered something.

The invitation from the Genius Club was personally sent by Bo Shizun, who probably really wanted to keep Chen Li in his notebook and pay close attention to him. However, at the time, Bo Shizun didn't provide any contact information or anything like that.

Perhaps he was speechless because Chen Li kept pestering him to help take away the trash from the concert venue?

Therefore, Chen Li felt that Bo Shizun might have changed his mind and didn't want him to join the Genius Club, lest he ruin the Genius Club's reputation.

Now that I think about it, it seems the Genius Club really isn't afraid of having its reputation tarnished.

Because it has absolutely no reputation!

Chapter 83 Screw Gum: [Rich Bro, VIP me 50, let's see your strength!]

"Hmm, I see... Chen Li, you're actually a genius!"

“You didn’t understand at all, did you? What I mean is, it’s not because I’m a genius, but because this power has attracted the extra attention of the Venerable Master of Knowledge,” Chen Li said, tossing a crystal in his hand.

"Don't be so modest. Think about it, not everyone who has the potential to destroy the world is invited to the Genius Club. The fact that you were invited to the Genius Club means you must have something special about you. Think about it from another perspective, isn't forging rare artifacts your own skill? Why are you being so modest?" Qingque patted Chen Li on the shoulder.

"Then who do you think could destroy the world but wasn't invited to the Genius Club?" Chen Li countered.

"The Ancestor of Destruction, also known as the God of Destruction."

"...Qingque, are you a genius?" Chen Li looked at Qingque in surprise.

The God of Wisdom shouldn't have invited me; he should have invited you to the Genius Club.

"Keep it low-key, just don't let Lord Taibu know about this," Qingque said modestly.

"..."

"So... what should we do now? This invitation..." Robin on the other end of the video call asked, looking at a very simple envelope in her hand.

"Just send it to me. Oh, and give these little gadgets to Screwbug as a greeting gift." Chen Li took out five phones that represented his WeChat Moments status and sent them to Robin via the Strange Item Forging Guide.

Sending items through the Oddity Forging Guide is free, but sending items through Moments costs money.

I really need to upgrade my WeChat Moments.

"5?"

“Screw Gum definitely won’t need five, but he can send those qualifications to other members of the Genius Club,” Chen Li said.

Chen Li was very interested in the Black Tower, or more precisely, he was very interested in the strange object in the Black Tower's possession.

In the world of Honkai Impact 3rd, when talking about rare items, the first thing that comes to mind is naturally the Black Tower Space Station, which is full of rare items.

Rare items are quite suitable as forging materials.

"Aren't you going to hand these items over to Screwgoom yourself?" Robin asked, looking at the five items that had already been transferred to her.

"Yeah, that's right."

The other party went to great lengths to find the robin, handed the invitation to the robin, and asked the robin to pass it on. Chen Li naturally couldn't refuse to meet with it.

"Qingque, I'm going to buy some oranges. You stay here and don't move," Chen Li said, turning to Qingque.

"Okay, go ahead, I'll only eat two, the rest are yours," Qingque said casually while playing on her phone.

Chen Li's heart skipped a beat; he knew he had encountered a master.

"You're going to eat two more? Just soak some orange peels in water and drink it," Chen Li said seriously.

Then I saw Qingque's bewildered face, as if she didn't understand why Chen Li said that.

Wait, something's not right... How did Qingque know about this meme?

Chen Li glanced at Qing Que's phone suspiciously, then checked her WeChat Moments history.

Emperor's Jade Master: I don't know why Chen Li went to see the Genius Club members, but said he would buy me oranges. Never mind, let's continue talking about the rules of Emperor's Jade.

The princess who escaped from the bamboo forest: Buy oranges? Here's what you need to say to him right now...

"I really need to make a weirdo that can slap someone through the internet cable," Chen Li muttered as he walked into the newly opened portal.

……

Although Chen Li didn't know the specific procedures for geniuses to be invited into the Genius Club by the Star God of Wisdom, he knew that there must be something wrong with the process for him, otherwise Screw Gum wouldn't have personally delivered the invitation.
