Their commission was suspicious.

Chapter 121 Armed Dolls and the Repair of the Book of Azure Mystery

As time passed, the 24-hour countdown gradually reached zero.

Chen Luo opened the talent panel that he hadn't closed, and now it started to move.

The distance between the talent panel and Chen Luo's face should be at least 30 to 40 centimeters, which is also the optimal viewing distance.

But at the very moment the countdown reached zero, the distance on the talent panel subtly shifted backward by more than half a meter, and then...

The talent panel slammed directly into Chen Luo's face, shattering instantly. But Chen Luo sat up abruptly as if he had just had a nightmare.

"Holy crap, what happened?" Chen Luo, who suddenly felt an extremely terrifying palpitation for some reason, was instantly awakened from his sleep.

"What's wrong with you? Nothing happened?" The Herrscher of Knowledge appeared in front of Chen Luo instantly and sat down by Chen Luo's bedside.

The current scene is strikingly similar to the first meeting between the Lawgiver and Chen Luo.

At that time, Shi Zhilu was lying on the bed while Chen Luo was sitting by the bedside; now, Chen Luo is lying on the bed while Shi Zhilu is sitting by the bedside.

"It's probably nothing, just my imagination." Chen Luo touched his face and breathed a sigh of relief after finding no abnormalities, wounds, or pain.

Maybe I slept for too long, which is why I had nightmares?

After all, sleeping for too long can feel really uncomfortable.

"How are you feeling now? Has the talent panel modified your body? Are you having any breathing difficulties?" Seeing that Chen Luo seemed fine, the Herrscher of Knowledge quickly asked.

"Has 24 hours already passed?" Chen Luo lay on the bed, looking at the sky outside the window.

It's around 4 p.m., but the sky outside is still very bright.

This made Chen Luo doubt whether he had slept for 24 hours.

"That's right, it's been 24 hours. During these 24 hours, you've maintained the most even breathing and the best sleep. Of course, you can also feel your physical strength slowly decreasing," said the Herrscher of Knowledge.

"You've been watching over me for 24 hours?" Chen Luo looked at the Herrscher of Knowledge with a hint of surprise.

For someone who understands the laws of nature, staying at home for 24 hours straight without going anywhere is indeed quite a challenge.

"Of course, I, the Herrscher of Knowledge, will naturally keep my promise. I didn't even go to the bar, although the bar wouldn't be able to open without you at all," the Herrscher of Knowledge said with considerable pride.

Because no matter what, being able to stay by someone's side for 24 hours and being discovered by them is something to be happy about.

Silent dedication isn't necessarily foolish; it just means that children often crave praise from their parents.

To be honest, which child who helps with housework doesn't stand there with a broom in hand, head held high, waiting for their parents' praise?

"Honestly, you really touched me. What you did was absolutely amazing. Is there anything you'd like to eat? Or how about we go shopping together? Or maybe we could go back to the Honkai world and cause some trouble, maybe even sabotage Destiny?"

Hearing the words of the Herrscher of Knowledge, Chen Luo was also somewhat moved. It was only after spending a long time with the Herrscher of Knowledge that he realized how busy she was. It was truly difficult for her to stay at home 24 hours a day and even stand by his bedside for a long time to observe him.

So it's perfectly normal for Chen Luo to want to give some reward.

As for why the last one to suggest dismantling Destiny was because Chen Luo thought that this might make the Lawgiver happy.

Besides, Otto specifically sent people to capture him, and Chen Luo needs time to repay this favor.

Another possibility is to see if I can meet Otto and get a 5-star quest.

Chen Luo genuinely believed that given Otto's obsession with Kallen, it was entirely possible for him to generate a five-star commission.

"As for a reward... there really is one. A Luo, aren't you a puppeteer? Can you repair puppets?" The Herrscher of Knowledge thought carefully before speaking to Chen Luo.

"Repairing a doll? Well, that depends on what kind of doll it is. If it's an ordinary doll, it can be repaired, but if it's a humanoid doll or a high-level doll with its own intelligence made of other materials, it will be more difficult." Hearing that the Herrscher of Knowledge actually had a wish, Chen Luo thought about it seriously.

Although it sounds a bit much for Chen Luo to have achieved this level, don't forget that Chen Luo only obtained the puppeteer profession a few days ago.

It hasn't even been a week yet.

Chen Luo hasn't even made a single proper doll yet.

Chen Luo was able to do what he just mentioned thanks to his expertise in furniture.

The profession of puppeteer sounds like a side job that requires a lot of effort, so it's normal that it takes time to grow.

“What if it’s an armed doll?” the Herrscher of Knowledge asked again.

"Armed puppets?" Chen Luo was taken aback.

Chen Luo was no stranger to armed dolls; he currently had an unhatched armed doll pet egg in his storage space.

Chen Luo still hasn't figured out what to use to incubate this pet egg.

In fact, armed dolls are a product of a pre-civilization era.

Its official name is "Equipment:Living Form," an autonomous weapon created by scientists from the pre-civilization era of Mu Continent to preserve humanity's fighting power.

In a sense, armed dolls are a combination of dolls and artificial life forms, rather than simply dolls.

Klein was created by Möbius himself.

The technical skill required to create armed dolls is also very high, but it is not a skill that only a few people can use.

Chen Luo learned about several armed puppets and their creators, including Möbius, the creator of Klein, and Cang Xuan and Dan Zhu, the creators of the Book of Azure Mystery.

Wait, the Book of Azure Mystery...

"Xiao Shi, you don't mean you want me to repair the Book of Cangxuan, do you?" When Chen Luo thought of the Book of Cangxuan and connected it with Fu Hua, a flash of inspiration struck him.

The Book of Azure Mystery was created by Azure Mystery and Danzhu to take care of Fu Hua's daily life.

"How did you know?" The Herald of Knowledge was greatly surprised.

"Well, after all, the only armed puppet I can think of related to you is the Book of Azure Mystery," Chen Luo said honestly.

"So, can you actually repair the Book of Azure Mystery?" the Herald of Knowledge asked.

"Yes, of course I can. Why not? The Book of Azure Profound isn't broken; it's of excellent quality. It's just out of energy. Let alone repairing the Book of Azure Profound, even if you asked me to create one, I could barely manage to do so if I had the materials," Chen Luo said confidently.

This is not only because Chen Luo's puppeteer skills have reached the master level.

Another reason is the favorability gift that Mebius gave him, "Mebius's Scalpel," which came with a whole bunch of professional skills.

This includes the creation of artificial life forms.

So if it's just a matter of repair, Chen Luo will be fine.

Chen Luo wasn't sure if Mebius, who had come to his bar, was now creating artificial life forms, but Mebius's scalpel certainly was.

For example, Mebius's super-transformation surgery is not yet very proficient, and may even only be at the skilled level, but Mebius's scalpel comes with a proficiency level.

In short, you might not believe it, but in some fields, Mebius's scalpel might be even more powerful than Mebius's.

This is probably what makes the favorability gift so amazing.

However, what's rather frustrating is that the skills included with this favorability gift are all only at the mastery level.

Chen Luo didn't know if all favorability gifts were like this, or if it was just Möbius's favorability, or if it was because his furniture mastery was only at the master level.

Honestly, Chen Luo really hopes to get some kind of skill upgrade stone so he can upgrade his furniture mastery to furniture master.

"Really? You're not just spouting nonsense, are you? If it can't be repaired, it can't be repaired. I don't care." The Herrscher of Knowledge looked at Chen Luo with some disbelief.

Because Chen Luo agreed too readily.

"Why would I lie to you? Even if you don't believe me, you should at least believe in Furniture Mastery, right? I really can repair Armored Dolls. And even if I really can't, I can just touch the Book of Azure Profound with my Furniture Mastery skill, right? Besides, the Book of Azure Profound is just out of power; it's really easy to add some energy to it. Have you forgotten? Don't we have Honkai Energy Crystals?" Chen Luo rolled his eyes at the Herrscher of Knowledge.

Chen Luo wasn't quite sure what kind of energy Cang Xuan and Dan Zhu used when they created the Book of Cang Xuan, but among all the items created in the Honkai World, Honkai Crystals were truly a universal energy source.

For any weapon or item related to Honkai, Honkai Crystals are always a safe bet.

Even if the models don't match, Chen Luo can adjust the Honkai Crystal to make it compatible.

"Alright, I believe you." The Herrscher of Knowledge nodded.

Because those who understand the laws know that Chen Luo rarely exaggerates; in some ways, Chen Luo is quite honest.

[Ding! You have a new request!]

【Repair the Book of Azure Profound】: Awaken the Book of Azure Profound, which has fallen into hibernation due to energy depletion, and restore its normal function.

Reward: 200 Primogems + random reward.

Difficulty: 3 stars

"A three-star mission with the lowest reward of raw gems," Chen Luo said, stroking his chin.

Having completed so many missions, Chen Luodao has figured out the upper and lower limits of the rewards for missions of different star levels.

For example, the minimum reward for a three-star mission is 200 Primogems, and anything lower would be a two-star mission.

"What? I got a commission?" Herrscher of Knowledge asked curiously after hearing Chen Luo's words.

Since there was nothing to keep secret from the Lawgiver of Knowledge, Chen Luo just said it directly.

The Law Master, however, did not object to Chen Luo accepting his commission, or perhaps he thought that given his relationship with Chen Luo, he didn't need to entrust him with a commission.

Chen Luo's talent was originally meant to help fulfill wishes, so it's only natural that he would fulfill his own needs.

Moreover, given the relationship between the Herrscher of Knowledge and Chen Luo, the Herrscher of Knowledge would like to create a high-level mission for Chen Luo that is easy to complete and offers high rewards, but the Herrscher of Knowledge simply cannot do it.

“That’s right, it’s a three-star mission, with a reward of 200 Primogems,” Chen Luo said without any hesitation.

"How come it's only 200 Primogems?" The Herrscher of Knowledge was even more dissatisfied than Chen Luo.

"Not bad. I figured you didn't really want to awaken the Book of Azure Mystery. The reason this mission was upgraded to three stars is because of its difficulty. After all, if restoring energy wasn't so troublesome, the Book of Azure Mystery wouldn't have been dormant since the Tang Dynasty and still hasn't been awakened," Chen Luo complained.

Sometimes, huge gaps can indeed form between worlds.

Awakening the Book of Azure Profound is simply a matter of changing the battery. This method might have been feasible for many people in previous civilizations, but very few people in the present civilization know how to do it.

If Chen Luo didn't have the profession of puppeteer, the puppeteer's stigmata, and Mebius's scalpel, he really wouldn't have dared to do this job so easily.

Therefore, the poor Book of Azure Profound is still asleep.

"But speaking of which, why did you revive the Book of Azure Mystery?" Chen Luo couldn't help but ask.

"Keep it a secret, keep it a secret. Also, you're not allowed to take on the same mission from that old relic again, because you have to keep it a secret from him too," the Herrscher of Knowledge said to Chen Luo.

"Okay, okay."

[Ding! You have a new request!]

[Confidential]

Reward: 100 Primogems

Difficulty: Two stars

Good heavens, repairing the Book of Azure only gives 200 Primogems, but a secret mission gives 100 Primogems directly. If you say that reviving the Book of Azure has nothing to do with Fu Hua, Chen Luo will never believe it.

"That's good. Besides, even if you search for it, it probably won't be of much use, because even the old relics might not remember the Book of Cangxuan." Seeing that Chen Luo had agreed, the Herald of Knowledge breathed a sigh of relief.

“This…” Chen Luo was stunned for a moment.

Thinking about it carefully, it makes sense. Fu Hua's head has been damaged several times, and she often teeters on the edge of amnesia. What memories could she possibly have now? Even Fu Hua herself doesn't know.

Moreover, Chen Luo can accept two identical tasks for others without any burden, but if the Law Master specifically instructs him, then he should not accept tasks from others.

Rough stones are very important, but they are not everything.

"Alo, can you get up now?" the Herald of Knowledge asked.

"Don't worry, even though I've been lying in bed all day, I'm not a patient."

“That’s good. Let’s go into the bar, and you can open an entrance to Changkong City for me. I need to go back to Taixu Mountain,” said the Herrscher of Knowledge.

Because the Book of Cangxuan should be in Mount Taixu right now.

Of course, it's also possible that it's in Fu Hua's hands, but the probability is not high.

"Okay." Chen Luo nodded, snapped his fingers to summon the bar door, got out of bed, put on his slippers, and went inside.

This bar is my home; it's okay to go barefoot at home too.

"Wow, what's going on?" Chen Luo had just entered his bar when he saw a figure lying face down on a table, his life hanging in the balance.

"Mona, what's wrong? Mona, wake up! No! Mona!!!" Chen Luo suddenly remembered what he had forgotten?

I forgot to prepare food for Mona.

Tragic Mona Tragic

Is this guy starving to death?
