Their commission was suspicious.

"The River of Time is the water drawn from the River of Time, and today it was taken from a great figure in our world."

"Let me see." Kaguya Houraisan blinked, her face filled with innocent curiosity.

“…Let’s go to a bar,” Chen Luo said casually.

"It's fine here. Are you worried that I'll drink that stuff after I finish reading it? You don't trust me at all!" Kaguya Houraisan pretended to be angry.

"No, I just meant that because that thing was obtained from a big shot in this world, it can't be taken out here... As for the idea you mentioned, I really hadn't considered it. Thanks for reminding me," Chen Luo said, stroking his chin.

“Hahaha…” Kaguya Houraisan scratched her head.

"Exactly! With valuable items like this, you really need to think carefully about the possibility of someone trying to steal it. You must be careful in the future, especially with Yakumo Yukari." Kaguya Houraisan seized the opportunity to throw mud at Yakumo Yukari.

Chen Luo believed that if the mysterious scholar were here now, he would definitely see a "hypocritical" label on Kaguya Houraisan's head.

"Let's go then."

"But it's a game..."

"Let me unplug the network cable for you." Chen Luo reached for the computer.

"Hey, no, wait until I finish this game, then I'll go. Right now! I just pulled ahead of that idiot on the other side in terms of gold, and although I got killed once, it's not a big deal!" Kaguya Houraisan quickly stopped her.

Even with the presence of the River of Time, something that seemed to be "destined" for her, Kaguya Houraisan was unwilling to give up the game.

This is no longer just a simple game; it's a matter of dignity for gamers! It has even escalated to the level of personal attacks!

……

"I thought it was something serious, but it's just this. Don't worry, it's fine." Upon arriving at the bar and hearing about Misaki Shokuhou's problem, Kaguya Houraisan assured her it was no problem.

"Chen Luo, hurry up and give Yakumo Yukari some cocoons so she can help treat the patient. Then prepare to send Kamijou Touma to Eientei. Quick, quick, let's go up to the second floor!" Houraisan Kaguya urged urgently.

"You were the one wasting time playing games, weren't you?" Chen Luo complained.

Immediately afterwards, Chen Luo handed the cocoon he had prepared while waiting for Kaguya Houraisan to play the game to Yukari Yakumo.

"Remember to bring the rest back for me. They're useful." Chen Luo was a little stingy.

"Oh, right, Kaguya Houraisan and I are going upstairs to the second floor to discuss something in a bit. If Touma Kamijou comes, remember to call me. Although I can't cure the root cause, I can temporarily install an external memory storage device for Touma Kamijou so that he can maintain his impression of you until he hits his own head," Chen Luo said to Misaki Shokuhou.

Chen Luo was capable of doing this, as Misaki Shokuhou had known before. However, the biggest limitation was that Touma Kamijou couldn't touch his head, and Touma Kamijou really liked touching heads, so this method only worked for a short time.

"Okay, thank you for your help." Misaki Shokuhou nodded gratefully.

Before Chen Luo could say anything more after she finished speaking, he was dragged to the second floor by Kaguya Houraisan.

The bar isn't quite lively yet, and no one has come up to the second floor.

Unless discussing serious matters, few people use the second floor.

"Hurry up and take it out," Kaguya Houraisan urged.

"What's the rush?" Chen Luo rolled his eyes at Houraisan Kaguya and said.

Then Chen Luo took out a cup that looked like it was made of jade from his backpack, with clear water flowing slowly at the bottom of the cup.

This is 1/32 of a cup of the River of Time.

The Heavenly Emperor did give him 1/4, but Chen Luo felt it should be divided into several portions, so he asked the Heavenly Emperor to divide it into 8 more portions for him.

Chen Luo originally wanted the Heavenly Emperor to take a larger share, but seeing the Heavenly Emperor's reluctant expression, Chen Luo realized that the container capable of holding the River of Time was not a cheap item.

"Give it to me, give it to me, give it to me, give it to me..." Upon seeing the 1/32 cup of the River of Time, Kaguya Houraisan seemed to be attracted by something and hurriedly reached out her hand towards the cup.

Even though Chen Luo had already shoved his other hand, which wasn't holding the cup, into Houraisan Kaguya's face, Houraisan Kaguya seemed unwilling to give up.

Looking at Chen Luo, who was supporting his face with one hand and holding a cup far away from him with the other, Kaguya Houraisan felt like a salted fish that had lost all hope.

In other words, people shouldn't hurt each other in the bar, otherwise Chen Luo felt that Kaguya Houraisan might do something even more radical.

However, Kaguya Houraisan seemed unwilling to give up so easily and even tried to touch the cup.

Perhaps, as the Heavenly Emperor said, this River of Time is an irresistible treasure for cultivators of the Time System.

[Ding! You have a new request!]

[River of Time]: River of Time, River of Time, River of Time! Kaguya Houraisan has longed for it to the extreme. If the River of Time were placed before her, Kaguya Houraisan would never give up. She will use any means necessary to drink the River of Time! But she needs at least 1/16 of a cup.

Rewards: 600 Primogems + 40 points of affinity with Kaguya Houraisan + random rewards.

Difficulty: 3 stars

"Alright, alright, here, have some, but wait until I throw it into the river first and make it triple, okay? That way you can drink three times as much." Chen Luo was quite happy with this task.

"Mmm-hmm-hmm." Kaguya Houraisan nodded her head frantically.

Although Kaguya Houraisan is currently fanatical, she is not stupid.

If a slight wait would give her more time to catch the river, Kaguya Houraisan wouldn't mind waiting a few more seconds.

Chen Luo tentatively released his grip on Houraisan Kaguya. He could tell that Houraisan Kaguya was trying her best to control herself, and she only subconsciously leaned closer to Chen Luo without making any violent movements.

After letting out a sigh of relief, Chen Luo drew out the River of Time, and then, under the greedy and eager gaze of Kaguya Houraisan, threw the jade cup in his hand, along with the river water inside, into the illusory River of Time.

Chen Luo breathed a sigh of relief when three cups of different colors appeared in front of him.

The River of Time cannot be replicated through the Void Treasury, because the River of Time is essentially a manifestation of rules.

Therefore, if Chen Luo wants to have more time to drink water, he can only replicate it using the River God's ability.

"Take it yourself," Chen Luo gestured to Kaguya Houraisan.

Kaguya Houraisan impatiently reached for the golden cup.

"She's quite clever," Chen Luo commented.

"Where's the water?!" But then Chen Luo heard Kaguya Houraisan's urgent voice.

"Huh?" Chen Luo was stunned for a moment before picking up the jade cup and looking down to find that it was indeed empty.

"..."

"..."

Kaguya Houraisan and Chen Luo locked eyes.

"Um, I suddenly realized something. Although I am a river god and can control the river, and can definitely turn anything thrown into the river into gold, silver, or its original form, what would happen if I threw water into it?" Chen Luo asked cautiously, looking at Kaguya Houraisan's murderous expression.

If you threw water from the River of Time into an ordinary body of water, perhaps nothing so dramatic would happen, but what Chen Luo was facing was the River of Time itself.

"!!!"

"Hey, what are you trying to do? Calm down."

Only after Chen Luo's earnest persuasion did Kaguya Houraisan manage to retain her last shred of rationality.

"I actually still have..."

Before Chen Luo could finish speaking, he suddenly sensed something unusual.

Chen Luo turned his head to look at the illusory river of time that he had not yet dissipated. The originally calm river of time began to surge. Chen Luo had never seen this before, which made him subconsciously pull Kaguya Houraisan behind him.

The next moment, a large ladle of water suddenly gushed out from that illusory river of time, spraying directly at Chen Luo's face, soaking him completely.

[You're poisoning the river, you know that? Do you even know what real river water is? Pah!]

Chen Luo seemed to hear the River of Time cursing, and then the River of Time spat at Chen Luo.

“…Damn it.” Feeling as if he had been mocked, Chen Luo simply dispersed the River of Time.

"Kaguya, are you alright... Uh, Kaguya, what's with that look?" Chen Luo was about to ask Kaguya Houraisan for help, but when he turned around, he found that Kaguya's gaze seemed a bit strange.

Chen Luo took a step back, startled by Kaguya Houraisan's fanatical gaze.

"River water, River of Time..." Kaguya Houraisan muttered to herself as she took a step forward, closing in on Chen Luo.

"Huh?" Chen Luo was stunned for a moment after hearing Kaguya Houraisan's words, and then subconsciously looked down.

I just got a huge mouthful of saliva from the River of Time, and I'm covered in it, especially on my face...

After all, spitting in someone's face is the biggest insult.

Seeing Kaguya Houraisan's expression, Chen Luo suddenly recalled a line from her mission: "If the River of Time were placed before her, Kaguya Houraisan would never give up. She would use any means necessary to drink from it!"

No matter what methods are used...

"Holy crap, Kaguya Houraisan, calm down, don't come any closer!" Having figured this out, Chen Luo slowly began to move towards the first floor.

"River of Time! Don't run!" Kaguya Houraisan's eyes flashed with a fierce light.

Chen Luo was about to use the teleportation anchor point to teleport...

[Ding! You have a new request!]

A voice brought Chen Luo to an abrupt halt.

Taking advantage of this pause, Kaguya Houraisan pounced.

The 200 raw cricket stones became Chen Luo's death warrant.

"Be gentle..."

[Ding! Mission complete]

[Ding! Mission complete]

Chapter 1017 Xiao Shi: Kaguya! I treated you like a best friend, and you actually wanted to sleep with my man?! (Bonus Chapter)

"Hmm, why do you two look like that? What happened?" Yakumo Yukari looked at Chen Luo and Houraisan Kaguya, who had been silent and had strange expressions since coming down from the second floor.

Especially Chen Luo's expression, which was full of despair.

Moreover, Chen Luo's body was still somewhat damp.

Chen Luo didn't answer, and neither did Kaguya Houraisan. Strangely, however, the distance between Kaguya Houraisan and Chen Luo was never more than 10 centimeters; she was practically walking right next to him.

Yukari Yakumo was a little curious; when did these two become so close?

Seeing that the two were unwilling to answer her, Yukari Yakumo could only look at Misaki Shokuhou, who had gone up to call them.

“I don’t know, they were both silent when I went up.” Misaki Shokuhou shook her head.

Moreover, the clothes seemed somewhat disheveled.

Although Yukari Yakumo put in a lot of effort to help her treat Touma Kamijou, Misaki Shokuhou still understood who her true benefactor was.

Without Chen Luo, she would never have known about such a magical bar. Without Chen Luo's introduction, she would never have received the help of that doctor named Yagokoro Eirin.

Moreover, this Kaguya Houraisan is a close friend of Dr. Eirin Yagokoro...

Therefore, Misaki Shokuhou chose to keep this matter firmly in her heart.

The weak have their own ways of dealing with things. Although no one would dare to say that Misaki Shokuhou is weak, it is not an exaggeration to say that she is in a bar.

"Yeah, you called me down here so I could install that memory module on Touma Kamijou, right?" Chen Luo looked at Touma Kamijou, who looked like he had just arrived at the bar.

Meanwhile, Index, who was standing nearby, was already captivated by the enormous amount of delicious food that Misaki Shokuhou could buy with a lot of money, according to Misaki Shokuhou.

The bar is nice, but it's only open for 4 hours.

Index can eat 24 hours a day.

"Mm." Misaki Shokuhou nodded.

"So do you agree? After all, we're going to install a consciousness accessory on you." Chen Luo looked at Touma Kamijou.

"Yes." Touma Kamijou glanced at Misaki Shokuhou, whose eyes were full of expectation, and nodded heavily.

Touma Kamijou is such a hopelessly kind-hearted person.

“Okay, I’ve already made the keychain based on Misaki Shokuhou’s memories. It’s easy to put on, but remember not to touch your head with your hands after you put it on, or it will immediately deactivate,” Chen Luo reminded him.

"I'll do my best." Touma Kamijou pointed to the thin string on his right hand that was connected to his waistband.

The length of the thin rope was neither too long nor too short, and its maximum distance was just enough for Touma Kamijou to touch his neck at most.

However, since it is a thin rope, it is not very strong and only serves to remind Kamijou Touma.

If any danger occurs, Touma Kamijou can immediately enter battle mode after forcefully snapping the thin rope.

Chen Luo took two steps forward and walked up to Touma Kamijou, intending to attach the memory pendant to him.

Seeing that Chen Luo was far away from her, Kaguya Houraisan took two steps forward and moved closer to Chen Luo.
