Their commission was suspicious.

Chen Luo discovered that the spider puppet was quite useful, especially since it was convenient for climbing on roofs and removing tiles to go anywhere.

Of course, it was just a spider puppet, not a real spider. It wasn't impossible, but Chen Luo still felt a bit uneasy about a live spider puppet…

Chen Luo installed malicious reconnaissance components on all the spider puppets he had placed near his home. These were some of the strange items he had drawn from the gacha pool. Combined with the Void Treasury's copy, he created a malicious reconnaissance barrier that covered his home and even expanded outwards.

For this reason, Chen Luo reduced the level of surveillance on his own home. After all, if someone with malicious intent came, they would be detected, but if someone without malicious intent came, so be it.

The main reason is that people do frequently come and go from Chen Luo's house, including but not limited to Su Yuan, Ye Yunshang, Bai Zhi, and Xiao Ke'er who occasionally comes to visit, actually for delicious snacks.

Chen Luo suspects that Xiao Ke'er is trying to help Bai Zhi steal the secret recipe for the Delicious Crab Burger!

"Oh? Isn't this... Liu Huaixi?" Chen Luo's eyes lit up when he saw the guest who had come to visit.

Chen Luo still can't forget Liu Huaixi, because Liu Huaixi's talent is just too enviable.

If Chen Luo had had that talent just now, he could have seen through what exactly the Herrscher of Knowledge had put in the rose cake at a glance.

Moreover, Chen Luo didn't believe that the Lawbringer of Knowledge had only obtained one vial of medicine from Eien-tei; he conservatively estimated at least 10 bottles!

Therefore, for your own safety, it's best to be careful with anything that has passed through the hands of the Law Enforcer.

Those who understand the laws will certainly not harm Chen Luo, but they will certainly cause trouble.

However, given the special effects of this talent, Chen Luo wouldn't tell the Herrscher of Knowledge even if he bought it...

Well, Chen Luo mainly wanted to see the Herrscher of Knowledge suffer the consequences of her own actions, just like what happened earlier.

Life always needs a bit of ritual... I watched him build a tall building, watched him entertain guests, and watched his building collapse...

Chen Luo admitted that he just wanted to have some fun.

In order to purchase this talent at the lowest possible price, Chen Luo will go down and cultivate goodwill!

Well, as for Fafnir's favorability and such...

Since I can't gather 20 [Friendship of the Dragons] in time to become a Dragon Knight, I might as well get a talent first.

It would be even better if this talent could be accompanied by a detailed character guide, preferably a guide to the character-specific Primal Stone Quest...

……

"So you finally know how to come down, huh? We have guests!" Ye Yunshang glared at Chen Luo as he came down from the second floor.

"It's just cultivation. Can you not put in some effort when you're cultivating?"

"It really wasn't because I stayed up late, but I ended up sleeping until after 2 a.m."

"Do you think I'm like you?" Chen Luo rolled her eyes at Ye Yunshang.

While Chen Luo and Mebius were sleeping in each other's arms, the Herrscher of Knowledge went downstairs to help Chen Luo deal with the fact that he wasn't home for lunch; it was just a matter of cultivation anyway.

Deceiving Ye Yunshang is very simple. Not to mention that the Herald of Consciousness can modify Ye Yunshang's consciousness at any time, Ye Yunshang is also lazy. Even if she wanted to see if Chen Luo hadn't gotten up, she would have Su Yuan do it.

But Su Yuan, that fake sweetheart, had already betrayed them.

"What's wrong with Xiao Shi? Why did you seal your mouth with tape?" Ye Yunshang asked curiously.

"I accidentally ingested a drug that helps me sleep, but the side effect is that it makes me tell the truth. In order not to reveal my special fetish, I plan to keep my mouth shut." Chen Luo said, glancing at Liu Huaixi, who was sitting on the sofa in the living room, looking somewhat uneasy.

"Are you a child?" Ye Yunshang asked in surprise.

Ye Yunshang wasn't curious about magical items; there was everything in the abyss passage anyway...

However, the fact that one could accidentally ingest a magical item certainly makes one look at things differently.

After all, it's a miracle that someone so stupid could survive this long.

"!!!" The Herald of Knowledge glared at Ye Yunshang.

Who are you calling a child?

Ye Yunshang was not afraid at all of the glare from the Law Enforcer.

It's like you're asking me to bite you.

Oh, your mouth is sealed shut, so you can't bite.

"Alright, let me introduce you. This is Liu Huaixi, whom I told you about a while ago. You can also just call her Huaixi. Huaixi, this is the support-type talent you've been wanting to meet. Hmm, why do you look like you've seen a ghost?" Ye Yunshang asked curiously.

"Could it be that I saw some remarkable affix on him?"

Ye Yunshang's question also represented Chen Luo's thoughts.

Ever since Liu Huaixi saw him, the strange expression on his face had never left.

Chen Luo found it difficult to describe Liu Huaixi's expression. Chen Luo suspected that if he had Liu Huaixi's talent now, he would be able to read at least 10 adjectives from Liu Huaixi's face.

"I've heard Aunt Yunshang mention your name too, nice to meet you. But you don't need to hide anything, just speak your mind." Chen Luo was genuinely curious about how Liu Huaixi would evaluate his talent after he lost his divine aura.

"Uh..." Huai Xi's expression still seemed somewhat unsettled.

Chen Luo came down the stairs from the second floor, getting closer to Huai Xi. This way, if Chen Luo intended to make a move, he could do so more quickly.

Although Chen Luo felt that the conflict between him and Liu Huaixi should not develop to that extent, what if it did?

The Lawbringer looked at Liu Huaixi with some wariness. Could this guy have figured something out?

But then he relaxed, walked over to Ye Yunshang, and sat down.

If this person in front of him really poses any threat, Chen Luo can handle it himself. Not everyone is like Chen Luo, using an extremely outrageous auxiliary talent to cover up their even more outrageous talents and abilities.

But the one who understands the law still intends to lightly activate the mind-reading ability—a small activation is not a full activation!

"Um, do you... do you still remember Xia Yuhe by Daming Lake?" Liu Huaixi asked Chen Luo tentatively after hesitating for a moment.

"Huh?" Chen Luo tilted his head.

Chen Luo had considered all sorts of outrageous answers Liu Huaixi might give, such as "This child is extraordinary and will surely achieve great things in the future; we cannot let him live," or "His background is complex," and he might even display a bunch of gibberish. But Chen Luo really didn't expect Liu Huaixi to blurt out such a line.

Big, fierce sister, are you here to be funny?

"This is truly one of the three affixes on you that my talent reveals. I don't know why, but unless there's a life-threatening situation, this talent of mine always seems to produce some riddles," Liu Huaixi quickly explained, sensing the strange looks from everyone.

In fact, Liu Huaixi herself was a little embarrassed when she asked that question.

"Three? Which three? Can you tell me about them?" Chen Luo asked as he invited Liu Huaixi to sit down.

"The first one is what I just mentioned, 'Do you still remember Xia Yuhe by the Daming Lake?' The second one is... is... 'Do you see the young man's thighs in front of you? Quick, hug him!'" Liu Huaixi's feelings were somewhat complicated as she said the last sentence.

"And what's the last sentence?"

"The first two sentences seem like a riddle and a hint, but the last sentence is very strange." Liu Huaixi said with a peculiar expression.

"Tell me already, stop keeping me in suspense," Chen Luo said, full of interest.

Looking at the last note on Chen Luo's profile, Liu Huaixi read it aloud: "[I can't tell, I really can't tell]"

Chapter 1037 Riddler, get out of Terra!

The first sentence: "Do you still remember Xia Yuhe by the Daming Lake?"

Chen Luo suspected that he might have had dealings with Xia Yu and Liu Huaixi before, because in their later conversations, Chen Luo discovered that Liu Huaixi was also from Xinghai City... How could Xinghai City produce so many S-level talents?

Or is it that wherever the Abyss Passage is located, there will be more S-class talents in that area?

That explains why the Forbidden City and Xinghai City have a slightly higher rate of S-level talent users...

"Have we met before?" Chen Luo asked, arms crossed.

If we're talking about solving riddles, then Chen Luo can only approach it from this angle.

Xia Yuhe by Daming Lake, old friends reunite, yet they do not recognize each other...

That's roughly the idea.

Chen Luo felt that if he bought this talent in the future, and this broken talent was still so confusing, Chen Luo might not be able to resist banishing it to the back of the palace!

Well, at least it was a talent bought with raw gems. Chen Luo probably would rather drag this talent out and beat it up!

Chen Luo hates riddle tellers more than anything in his life! That's why Chen Luo never watches the Arknights storyline.

Pooh!

Riddler, get out of Terra!

Therefore, Chen Luo's favorite character in Terra is W. Apart from W, everyone else is a riddle person!

W's words are simple and easy to understand—I'll just rant and rave.

Compared to riddles, this level of profanity is more palatable.

"You haven't seen him before, have you? But I feel that Mr. Traveler seems quite friendly," Liu Huaixi said uncertainly.

Liu Huaixi was quite confident in her memory; at least she could recognize familiar strangers she had met a few times. However, Liu Huaixi really had no recollection of Chen Luochen.

However, Xia Yuhe's words by Daming Lake should be referring to the situation where two people may have met before but do not remember each other, right?

That damned talent for riddles!

Liu Huaixi had complained more than once about the riddle-like nature of her talent, but the talent showed no signs of changing. What could Huaixi do? She couldn't just not use it, could she?

"Hmm, maybe it's because I'm a healing-type talent? Support-type talents are generally quite popular," Chen Luo said.

This is not a lie; the emergence of support-type talents is often related to the talent's lifestyle, personality, and experiences.

It's not that their actions led to their talent, but rather that their talent was etched into their souls. It is because of this quality that they do things to help others.

Therefore, those who can awaken support-type talents are people who give more than they receive in their daily lives.

"So, Mr. Traveler must be someone who often helps others, right?"

Perhaps due to her own experiences, Liu Huaixi has a great fondness for people who extend a helping hand to the weak.

"I wouldn't say I frequently help others; it's more like a mutually beneficial arrangement. I help them achieve what they want to achieve, and in return, I receive their gratitude and wishes."

"Self-satisfaction needs?" Liu Huaixi glanced at the line of words floating above Chen Luo's head.

[No problem, bro!]

It seems what they said is true.

"Let's put the first sentence aside for now. It seems we have some connection from the past. Let's just consider us old acquaintances. Let me reintroduce myself. My codename is Traveler, and my real name is Chen Luo. If you encounter any problems in the future, feel free to come to me. Maybe I can help you solve them." Chen Luo extended his hand to Liu Huaixi.

"Chen Luo? That name seems familiar..." Upon hearing the name, Liu Huaixi subconsciously reached out her hand towards Chen Luo as well, and began to ponder.

"You remember my name, not me as a person? Okay, think about it."

Chen Luo felt much better after glancing at Liu Huaixi's current favorability rating.

As expected, for Chen Luo, that divine halo was a negative buff.

It's not that divinity might be targeted, but rather that after using external divinity to conceal his true nature, Chen Luo's achievement of increasing initial favorability became less effective.

It's useful, but not as effective as revealing the true nature of things.

Besides covering his face, it might also be because the slogan on Chen Luo's body when he appeared as the River God was too terrifying to Liu Huaixi.

Originally, the discount was 9.0% when they first met. After Chen Luo gave her several high-grade spirit stones as a gift for a junior, it became 8.0%. But now, after just meeting and not even saying much, it's already down to 7.0%.

Besides the spirit stones given as a bonus for achieving a high level of affection, which has already fully taken effect, there's probably also the reason behind the first slogan—the two may have had some contact.

Although we don't know what kind of contact it is yet, this is certainly helpful in quickly building a closer relationship.

"Oh, I remember now, you were on the news, right? The news about your act of bravery!" Liu Huaixi remembered!

"...That's true." Chen Luo nodded.

"Besides Xia Yuhe by Daming Lake, what's the meaning of 'clinging to someone'? If we're talking about clinging to someone, shouldn't it be Huaixi clinging to Xiao Yuan? Why would she cling to a support talent like you?" Ye Yunshang asked, somewhat puzzled.

Of the three sentences, Ye Yunshang paid the least attention to the first one.

What kind of past relationship Chen Luo and Liu Huaixi had is their business, but when it comes to currying favor, Ye Yunshang is anything but sleepy.

Ye Yunshang is a professional at currying favor with powerful figures; finding someone to curry favor with is one of her specialties.

After all, Ye Yunshang's talent was to cultivate both body and mind, so she naturally sought out Su Yuan, her strongest patron.

Besides being rough, it was also very fair and tender, so Ye Yunshang felt somewhat indignant for Su Yuan.

Why is Chen Luo's leg thicker than Su Yuan's?

"I can revive people, can Xiao Yuan do that?" Chen Luo shut Ye Yunshang up with just one sentence.

"Hmm... Generally speaking, given that Huai Xi has awakened such a strong survival instinct, she probably also has a very strong survival instinct. Thinking about it that way... it doesn't seem like there's anything wrong with Huai Xi clinging to your leg?"
