Their commission was suspicious.

It's really dark!

This is much faster than stealing!

Of course, unscrupulous merchants don't deserve sympathy either.

Because they also get a 50% discount when buying items from the back-end store, and the higher the merchant's level, the greater the discount. These merchants then sell these items at the original price or even at a premium!

"Book of Akasha, what kind of merchant do you think I should be to reap the greatest rewards?" Chen Luo asked the Book of Akasha while using his reconnaissance ability to search for all the treasure chests he could see.

They managed to conduct both investigations and work at the library.

[Unique Faction Merchants. All merchants have a faction type. Although each merchant's backing is unique, high-level merchants within the same faction have a chance to obtain special items to purchase items from other merchants' backings. Merchants from different factions also have different item preferences. Unique faction merchants avoid these problems and can also hoard goods for speculation, thus reaping the greatest profits.]

Are there still any merchants representing a single faction?

There are still spots available.

"several?"

[Three. But all require completing an extremely complex series of tasks.]

"So little?"

The traveling merchant profession only appeared ten months ago and was officially opened to non-NPCs two months ago. Before that, it was held by residents of the Abyss Passage. If you had come two months ago, there were unique faction merchant slots everywhere.

"...Just two months ago, I had only just become a Talented Person. How could I possibly have obtained a Merchant's Backpack? Back then, Merchant's Backpacks were still a hot commodity, weren't they?"

[Found]

"How could that be? I don't believe it! Unless you tell me how you found it!"

[It will take 1 to 365 hours to find out the answer to this question. Would you like to proceed?]

"...You can just say it directly, that you don't want to tell me."

It seems that Chen Luo... has learned something else?

"Can the NPC I'm looking for this time provide me with a cool and flashy name? Can it attract other people's attention?" Chen Luo asked the Book of Akasha.

Chen Luo has excellent reconnaissance skills; he can basically figure out the general situation from anything he can see.

Perhaps you might encounter unknown beings outside the world, or the effect might be selectively weakened when watching someone with equally explosive combat power.

So if you're within the world, you should ask the Book of Akasha if you can.

Generally, the Book of Akasha would offer Chen Luo an extremely favorable price for anything he could obtain through his investigative abilities, such as... a search time of only 0.01 seconds.

Chen Luo mostly used his investigative abilities in bars, because the Book of Akasha was not available in bars.

【Can. 】

"What is your name?"

[Query time may take 1-100 minutes. Would you like to proceed?]

"……don't want."

It's clear that this isn't a particularly special or important piece of information, but it is indeed somewhat unusual.

With a bit of luck, it would only take a minute. But Chen Luo suspected the world was still targeting him, and he'd already used all his dice, so he decided not to take the risk…

Why waste time here when you can see things with your own eyes?

Even if you search for the treasure chest while also looking for the NPC, you should be able to get there in 100 minutes, barring any unforeseen circumstances.

Well, barring any unforeseen circumstances...

If nothing unexpected happens, something unexpected will definitely happen when Chen Luo thinks of this.

What's strange this time is the source of the accident. It's not that you suddenly see a ferocious beast in this world, but rather it comes from the bar.

"What's going on? Are they going to let me do the quest or not?"

However, it's not a big problem. Although the process is a bit bumpy, we'll be able to hand over the kettle to the other party sooner or later.

The bar is more important right now, but hopefully the people in the bar aren't looking for Chen Luo because of something unimportant, otherwise Chen Luo really doesn't have much time to waste outside the abyss passage.

Since he didn't want to get involved in the fight between the Herrscher of Knowledge and Bai Zhi yesterday, Chen Luo went straight back to the bar to sleep. He originally thought that spending the whole day in the Abyss Passage would be enough to accumulate enough time for the game tester, but if he had to spend the entire day, then the time would be a bit tight.

"By the way, Akasha, won't that NPC starve to death?"

The mission will not fail within 24 hours, 39 minutes, and 46 seconds.

"So, it means that if it exceeds 24 hours, 39 minutes, and 46 seconds, it might fail?"

With such precision, Chen Luo began to suspect that the NPC might have met with some misfortune 24 hours, 39 minutes, and 46 seconds later...

Don't panic.

As a traveler with the ability to resurrect, even if the other party dies a second before Chen Luo arrives, Chen Luo can still pull the NPC up and force that NPC to issue a quest.

No way, really?

I've been looking for you for three days. Do you want to die before I even issue this commission?

"I'm going back to the bar, who's going back?" Chen Luo asked, and then only Chen Luo and Liu Huaixi were left on the magic carpet...

Those guys got back to the bar much faster than Chen Luo.

Chen Luo suspected that these people were also tired of exploring the abyss passage.

It's not that the Abyss Passage is boring, but watching Chen Luo use cheat codes is boring.

Aside from going to the arena, these people barely touched the ground today, spending the entire time watching Chen Luo sit on the magic carpet and loot the treasure chests across the land.

Hopefully, they won't completely lose interest in the Abyss Passage while Chen Luo isn't exploring it.

"What about you? Are you going to stay here alone? It's okay, I can send Qiu Bi to protect you, or do you want Xiao Xuan to protect you?" Chen Luo lifted Cang Xiao Xuan, who was lying on the magic carpet and clutching her round belly.

“I’m going to a bar,” Liu Huaixi said quite decisively.

It's clear that Liu Huaixi doesn't quite trust Qiu Bi, nor does he trust the Cangxuan Book, which he's currently eating and can't even stand up straight.

After putting the magic carpet under his feet into his backpack, Chen Luo also went into the bar.

Inside the bar, a person was repeatedly banging on the notice board at the bar entrance.

To ensure that both new and old customers could easily find him if they had any urgent matters when they came to the bar, Chen Luo specially created a notification system. If they wanted to see Chen Luo, they could simply knock on the notice board.

But you'd better send Chen Luo a wish after you call him to the bar, otherwise Chen Luo might choose to give you an unforgettable memory.

This rule will not inadvertently harm those who simply want to see Chen Luo, because even if they just want to see Chen Luo, they will still be given a task.

“Bronya? Alright, alright, stop knocking. You should have known I heard you when Xiaoyuan and the others went into the bar, right? And why are you wearing that cat-like face?” Chen Luo looked at Bronya with some confusion.

If Chen Luo remembers correctly, Bronya should still be searching for Seele in the Sea of ​​Quanta, right?

[Because he failed to find Seele, he decided to vent his frustrations on someone, hence his disheveled, cat-like expression.]

“You said that as long as I search for Seele for three days, I will find her.” Bronya stopped tapping the notice board and put away her spear.

This spear was part of Bronya's armor.

On her second day in the Sea of ​​Quanta, Bronya unlocked other forms of the Magical Girl Teriri armor through her own exploration.

In addition to transforming into the magical girl Teriri, this armor can also create suitable crops based on the user's own power.

Because only this original armor has the ability to explore the Quanta Sea, Bronya uses the original version, hence this special effect.

Chen Luo didn't understand why Bronya, who used cannons, would switch to using guns, and even long guns at that.

"Probably. I remember I said the Sea of ​​Quanta promised to help you find Seele, so why didn't it work? It's been three days now... oh, exactly three days." Chen Luo glanced at the time and paused.

"Found it, but not quite there," Bronya said with a long face.

He looked unusually disappointed.

"What do you mean?" Chen Luo asked, somewhat curious.

“I did find a Seele, but she’s completely different from the Seele I’m looking for. Although she’s also called Seele, and her appearance and abilities seem quite similar to Seele, she’s much older, an adult!” Bronya said after gathering her thoughts.

"Huh? Could it be Seele as an adult?"

"Impossible, because she doesn't know Bronya. Bronya thinks that should be Seele from a parallel world."

Where did you meet her? In the Sea of ​​Quanta?

“Hmm. According to Bronya’s initial assessment, that person was pulled from her original world by the Sea of ​​Quanta and brought to Bronya’s presence. However, since it’s not the Seele she’s looking for, Bronya will use the power of this armor to send him back.” Bronya said, looking at the armor she was wearing.

"This armor has this effect?" Chen Luo was astonished.

"You didn't know?" Bronya asked in surprise.

"Of course I don't know. Just kidding. Who in their right mind would transform into a magical girl like Teriri?" Chen Luo said with a look of disgust.

"...In short, I found Seele, but it's not that Seele, it's not Seele." Bronya's feelings were extremely conflicted.

Bronya's emotions were like a rollercoaster, going up and down so much that she didn't know how to face Chen Luo.

There was definitely a lot of gratitude, since finding Xier showed that Chen Luo had indeed put in the effort.

But Bronya is looking for Seele, not Seele.

"...Don't worry, I'll have the Quantum Sea give you an explanation. The goods don't match," Chen Luo promised Bronya.

No one can get Chen Luo for free!

Chen Luo has already figured out a way to deal with the Sea of ​​Quanta!

As Chen Luo spoke, he pushed open the bar door that Bronya had come through and looked out at the Quantum Sea.

Everyone watched Chen Luo expectantly, wondering what method he would use to "teach the Quantum Sea a lesson."

Feeling the expectant gazes of those behind him, Chen Luo took a deep breath, walked out of the Sea of ​​Quanta, and then closed the door behind him.

What happens next is not suitable for children.

Chen Luo took a deep breath, his gaze turning cold as he looked at the unknown entity, and then...

...and burst into tears.

!!!

Chapter 1107 Coordinates Leading to Another World Where Seele Lives

"Alright, it's resolved." After returning from the Sea of ​​Quanta, Chen Luo immediately closed the bar door.

"Cousin, what have you done? Why do you look so complicated?" Su Yuan asked, puzzled.

"Please understand, after all, we are negotiating with an entity of the Quantum Sea level. I have already done my best." Chen Luo sighed.

"And what was the result?" Bronya asked expectantly.

"After my reasoned arguments, sharp rebuttals, and constant back and forth, I barely managed to resolve this issue. At the latest, you should be able to see your good friend Xi'er tonight," Chen Luo said with a heavy expression.

"Thank you!" Bronya walked up to Chen Luo.

Bronya looked up at Chen Luo, moved closer, and hugged him.

Okay, hug my waist.

Because I'm too short...

“Although I don’t know exactly what happened, communicating with the Quantum Sea and reaching a conclusion must have been very difficult and required a lot of effort.” Bronya expressed her gratitude to Chen Luo, then rubbed her face against Chen Luo’s stomach.

Bronya simply couldn't imagine how intense the battle would be.

"...As long as you're happy." Chen Luo placed his hand on Bronya's head and sighed deeply.

[Hahaha! Arguing logically, countering each other head-on, constantly pulling and tugging. It's hilarious, damn it!]

"..." Chen Luo's face grew increasingly dark.

【…】

"I'll give you an afternoon to write a 3000-word apology letter, and I mean an apology to me. Otherwise, I can guarantee you won't be able to leave the dark room for seven days."

【! ! ! 】

【No, I'm just a user-friendly plugin. You're making things too difficult for me!】

"That makes sense... Remember to add another condition: the plagiarism rate cannot exceed 1%. If it exceeds 1%, even one percent more will result in an extra day of solitary confinement." Since the humanized plugin had already said so much, Chen Luo felt a little embarrassed, so he relaxed the requirements.

Chen Luo did not set any rigid requirements; he simply added some appropriate punishments.
