The Artifact Forger from the Beginning of Collapse

……

"Aaaaaah!" A heart-wrenching scream echoed throughout the entire noble manor.

Unable to fulfill their wishes and desires, they wept and lamented.

No techniques, all emotion!

"The local gangs are so rude!" Chen Li stomped on the noble young lady Arya while enjoying the delicious food in front of him.

It has to be said that the nobles in the capital are indeed wealthy. They actually have quite a few of these dangerous ingredients that look incredibly valuable at first glance.

Although Chen Li can eat raw meat, he tries to avoid it as much as possible.

So after knocking the whole family unconscious with three punches, Chen Li found all the family's servants one by one and persuaded them to process all the precious ingredients in the house into dishes and serve them to Chen Li.

The specific method is to punch them in the stomach, beat them until they kneel down, then take out forced transaction coins and ask them if they are willing to exchange giving them a punch in exchange for selling their lives to him.

Unwilling to risk your life? Then give me another punch.

But next time it won't be so light.

Forced gold trading is indeed useful when you're dominating newbies.

There are indeed several powerful individuals in noble families, but Chen Li didn't eat so many Honkai Beasts for nothing.

In just one day, Chen Li gained far more attribute points than he had in several years. Coupled with the sword techniques taught by Jing Liu, Chen Li was able to easily crush everyone present.

It seems there's absolutely no limit to the attribute points gained from using one-star rare food cells.

There will be no limit until you reach the level 3 Rare Item Forger rank cap.

Reaching the limit? Then allocate your increased physical abilities to other areas and continue increasing your physical abilities.

Although Chen Li felt that his rate of becoming stronger was nowhere near the rate of his rank improvement.

"Aaaaah!" Arya was still screaming in agony.

"Stop yelling, stop yelling! You're disturbing my dinner, you know that?" Chen Li stomped his foot, and then heard a clear cracking sound.

Arya's scream paused for a moment, then became even more piercing.

“Kids these days are so fussy, they can’t even handle this little bit of hardship, don’t you think?” Chen Li turned to look at the side.

“You’re right, you’re right,” the nobleman standing beside him nodded repeatedly.

The nobleman's collar was straight, and his posture was impeccable... The only problem was that his body was somewhat transparent.

[Peace Longbow] Effect 2: Soul Slayer: Arrows will have the effect of directly striking the soul. After inflicting a wound on the soul, it will devour the opponent's soul, storing that portion of the soul within the longbow. Pain and despair will also serve as the energy source, powering the weapon. If an enemy is successfully killed, a complete soul can be obtained, which can be released and used to control the opponent when necessary.

Because there was only one needle, punishing two people would require stringing them together, which wasn't very aesthetically pleasing. Therefore, Chen Li adopted three different methods for dealing with the three "demons" in this family.

Arya was pinned to the ground by needles over a meter long, while Chen Li stepped on her to prevent her from struggling.

The nobleman was sent to meet God by Chen Li.

The noblewoman... Chen Li didn't know where she was. He simply had her confidant drag her to the torture chamber where she had tortured others, and then let her use all the torture instruments.

Chen Li even gave her a longevity elixir because he was worried that she wouldn't be able to endure all the torture instruments on her.

With the blessing of eternal power, he shouldn't die within three days.

After doing all this, Chen Li felt no guilt, because his merit coins had increased by several hundred.

For ordinary people, it's already terrifying to accumulate several hundred merits.

Chen Li saved a high school student who was almost hit by a truck and sent to another world, and only received a few words of praise for his lofty morality.

A golden scale was placed next to Chen Li.

On one side was the tragic appearance of the entire noble family, and on the other side were 327 words of praise for lofty morality, with hundreds of transparent phantoms faintly visible on them, their hands clasped in gratitude.

Chapter 89 What is this Ten Thousand Souls Banner? That's called the Human Emperor's Bow!

"If I want to acquire some dangerous species flesh and blood, and obtain some Imperial Arms, do you have any good ideas?" Chen Li rested his chin on one hand and looked at the noble lord beside him who had already turned into a "Chang Gui".

"My lord, I can recommend you to the ministers of the empire. As long as you can gain their favor, power and wealth will naturally come to you. Then you can control the ministers just as you control me to achieve a leap in social class, and then control the entire empire." The nobleman was quite dedicated to giving Chen Li advice.

Although the plan wasn't particularly good, it was already an extraordinary achievement for this nobleman who basically didn't use his brain for anything except tormenting and manipulating country folk.

"Tsk, if it weren't for the lack of suitable materials to create an artifact that automatically picks up loot, I would have cleaned the entire place long ago," Chen Li sighed.

In the world of Akame ga Kill!, the empire Chen Li is currently in is a nation with a thousand-year-old civilization, and the imperial capital, located in its political and economic center, is where the empire and its ministers reside.

Although it was the center of the empire, it was corrupt and decadent, and the people lived in great poverty.

Chen Li's client this time, Arya, is a noble girl who is beautiful and youthful on the outside, but is actually vicious and wicked on the inside. Her favorite thing to do is to lure country people who come to the capital from other places to make a living to her home and then torture them to death.

How despicable! Did the country folk offend you?

So you only know how to pick the softest persimmons, right?

Of course, their parents weren't much better. Each of them had their own penchant for cruelty.

And this kind of nobleman is everywhere in this capital city right now.

If all the officials and nobles in the capital were to be killed, there might indeed be one or two mistakenly killed, because there are still a few conscientious people in the empire who are not so deserving of death.

However, if you kill 10 nobles or officials and then let one go, there will definitely be some who escape.

The imperial ministers mentioned by the noblemen were even more important.

Minister Ernest, after personally murdering the young emperor's biological parents, helped the emperor rise above many other heirs, then seized power in the empire, and implemented an endless tyrannical regime.

Although the capital city is a place where demons and monsters roam freely, it would be troublesome for Chen Li to use the Peace Longbow to clean up the capital city, because those villains cannot gather together.

There are many bad guys, but they are scattered. This is the worst situation to avoid when using the Peace Longbow's "Cleansing Moment".

Creating strange objects to attract them together is also troublesome, because they don't share the same high degree of commonality as the ghosts and monsters of the Miko world.

Therefore, Chen Li had to wait until enough evil spirits had accumulated in the Peace Longbow before proceeding.

"Speaking of which, what year is it this year?" Chen Li suddenly asked.

"Ah, this..."

"Never mind, no need to answer." Chen Li suddenly remembered that the anime he watched didn't seem to have a timeline either.

That's fine.

"Let's change the subject. Did your world's general Esdeath quell the rebellion of the northern alien tribes?" Chen Li continued.

"I've already gone." Although he didn't know how Chen Li knew about this, the nobleman answered the question quite honestly.

"I see... then I know roughly when that will happen." Chen Li nodded.

It was not long before the plot began, right?

Chen Li wasn't entirely clear on the specifics.

After much deliberation, Chen Li still couldn't decide whether to help the revolutionary army or the empire.

The empire was corrupt, the revolutionary army was incompetent, and they were also colluding with foreign tribes in the north.

Therefore, regardless of which side Chen Li helps, there's a relatively quick way to pass the level. However, if both choices make him feel uncomfortable, then he'll have to find another way.

Chen Li didn't want to choose either chocolate-flavored poop or poop-flavored chocolate.

As it happened, Chen Li had a good idea.

"Take me to see Minister Ernest," Chen Li said, turning to the nobleman.

"Ah, me? Now?" The nobleman pointed to himself incredulously.

Although offering some treasures as a nobleman would allow him to see the ministers, how could he possibly go out in this wretched state?

"Useless. Fine, you should know where the minister lives, right? Just take me there in a bit." Chen Li clenched his fist and stood up from the chair, but his left foot was still on Arya.

"Oh, I know that." The nobleman nodded repeatedly, frantically trying to assert his presence and value.

Because the nobleman really didn't want to return to the Peace Longbow.

The Peace Longbow draws its energy from the pain and suffering of evil spirits, a place that can only be described as hell for evil spirits.

The killer is forever trapped in the mountain of corpses he created, pierced by thorns growing from the fingernails of the dead.

The traitor is torn apart by millions of faces, each a copy of someone he once harmed.

The greedy soul is encased in liquid gold, suffocating as it ingests more metal with each breath...

Everything is illusion, everything is reality.

That's hell! Real hell.

Is that a proper peace bow? Or is that a banner of ten thousand souls?

"Reporting, sir, there are two survivors in the warehouse. However, they are both unconscious and seriously injured." Just as Chen Li was thinking of starting with Ernest and taking down the Imperial Arms, a guard walked in and said to Chen Li.

"Huh? There are two survivors? They're really lucky to have run into me."

"But he's dying soon."

"Oh, that's alright. As long as he's still breathing, I can save him. Saving a life is more meritorious than building a seven-story pagoda. I want to see just how much moral praise I can gain by saving someone," Chen Li said with considerable interest.

Although it may seem disrespectful to the injured, as a divine physician from the Immortal Ship, Chen Li has indeed not seriously treated many people.
