Their commission was suspicious.

If she had just called her by her real name, that would have been fine, but she called her by her nickname.

Who would call someone by a nickname when they're a complete stranger?

She definitely knows me!

If something happens to Isamara, and Chen Luo later discovers that Isamara is indeed close to him, then Chen Luo will not be able to sleep for at least three days.

I laugh and joke around all day, but then at night, snuggled in bed, I think to myself: I'm so stupid.

After being teleported to the bar entrance, Chen Luo saw the bar's open door and Isamara, who was about to go up to the basement to look for him.

White boots clattered on the steps leading to the ground, and Isamara's voice sounded somewhat sorrowful.

Meanwhile, the time calculator above Isamara's head was plummeting rapidly.

The original five-hour duration was reduced to less than four hours in just four or five seconds.

If Chen Luo had been just 15 seconds later, Isamara, who had already stepped onto the stairs and was eagerly running down to the ground, would have been killed instantly.

Chen Luo glanced at the blue kettle that Isamara had just tossed aside, which she had been treating like a treasure, then gently knocked on the bar door, making a sound that attracted Isamara's attention as she was about to leave the basement and run to the surface.

Upon hearing the noise, Isamara instinctively turned around to look. When she saw Chen Luo standing at the bar entrance, her sad expression instantly turned into one of surprise and joy. She then ran straight to the bar entrance and, not far from Chen Luo, jumped up and pounced on him.

Chen Luo looked at the rapidly decreasing countdown above Isamara's head and felt a chill run down his spine.

Even though the countdown was over and she was about to die, Isamara didn't seem to care much, but Chen Luo was terrified.

Seeing Isamara lunging at him, Chen Luo wondered if he should take a step or two back and let Isamara experience the harshness of society...

But she's Titi, or at least she looks like Titi.

Although Chen Luo didn't shamelessly shout that Skadi had given him her heart when Arknights launched, his affection for the white-haired, red-eyed girl was certainly evident.

At least Chen Luo's computer desktop used to be a special Skadi scene wallpaper that could be shaken, featuring a woman in a formal dress.

Later, after the computer was used by the Book of Cangxuan to help Chen Luo with his online classes, the computer screen was changed to Fu Hua.

This time, however, Chen Luo was smarter. Before Isamara could pounce on him and give him a killer whale-style apology, he first covered his mouth with his hand.

With his palm facing outwards, he could cover Isamara's mouth perfectly without accidentally hitting her face hard due to the bones on the back of his hand.

However, Chen Luo underestimated Isamara.

Although Chen Luo did stop Isamara from molesting him again, he felt something wet lick his hand that was covering Isamara's...

You're truly incorrigible!

If it weren't for the fact that Chen Luo had actually spoken normally with Isamara before she took off her hood, Chen Luo would have really thought that Isamara couldn't say anything other than the word "Luo".

[A little orca with a clear purpose; her idea is simple: to molest you.]

As expected, just as the humanized plugin said, after Isamara entered the bar, the biggest obstacle to talent—the world's rejection—disappeared, and talent could now read more from Isamara.

“I’m not asking you to watch these random things. I’m asking you to watch something serious. If you cause any more trouble, I’ll put you in solitary confinement for 24 hours.”

I'm sorry, I'm trying!

This time, the humanized plugin seemed even more nervous and afraid than when Chen Luo said he would put him in solitary confinement for 7 days.

After all, when a chat group admin says they're going to ban you for a month, it's probably a joke. Banning you for a month is less efficient than kicking you out directly.

But if he says he'll ban you for 24 hours, it's very likely he really is.

Ignoring the overly dramatic, human-like plugin, Chen Luo chose to push Isamara away, who was trying to cling to him, but she was holding on too tightly.

Chen Luo felt like his back was about to break.

Although there is room for collision in a bar, when Isamara wrapped her arms around Chen Luo's waist and intertwined her fingers around his lower back, refusing to let go, Chen Luo was unable to push her away.

In a bar, the most invincible thing is actually hair or body. As long as a hair long enough is tied to a person's arm, theoretically, since it cannot harm the person with the hair, even Chen Luo cannot break that hair.

Isamara fully utilized her initiative, making it impossible for Chen Luo to break free.

"I'm warning you, you'd better separate right now, or I'll beat you up."

Because Chen Luo was afraid that if he turned off Isamara's mutual harm switch, her time would pass by rapidly, Chen Luo could only make a harsh statement first.

But Isamara kept rubbing against Chen Luo.

She won't change at all!

[She probably won't be afraid of what you're saying. She's not even afraid of death, so why would she be afraid of getting beaten up? You should tell her: If you don't let go, I'll disappear.]

Chen Luo thought the talent analogy made a lot of sense.

"If you don't let go, I'll disappear."

But as soon as Chen Luo said those words, Isamara hugged him even tighter, as if afraid he would disappear from her sight again.

"I will teleport, no matter how tightly you hold on, it won't help."

"Oh." Upon hearing this, Isamara reluctantly separated her arms from Chen Luo's waist.

I almost forgot that Chen Luo can teleport.

Between continuing to stick on Chen Luo for a while longer and being unable to stick on Chen Luo any longer, Isamara chose to temporarily give up.

This musical scale was also the first sound Isamara made besides the word "Luo" after seeing Chen Luo's true face.

"So before you hug me, could you explain things clearly? Maybe I'm not the person you know from that time period?" Chen Luo asked.

“It smells wonderful, no doubt about it,” Isamara said earnestly, shaking her head.

"Smell? Do I have some kind of odor?" Chen Luo was taken aback.

[The Legendary Investigator's passive ability. It makes chaotic creatures that like you like you even more. Isamara is probably referring to aura. When you're wearing the hood, you suppress your passive ability; it only regenerates after you remove it.]

It's worth mentioning that turning off the positive passive effect of the achievement is a difficult task, because Chen Luo needs to constantly keep the passive effect in mind, otherwise it will be released instantly.

Of course, this effect only applies to positive passive effects. If there are both positive and negative effects, you can simply turn it off.

Of course, Chen Luo could choose to turn off the entire achievement, but this achievement is really useful, so Chen Luo can only choose to suppress some of the passive abilities of the achievement first.

However, Isamara's desire to sexually assault herself was probably not entirely due to passive reasons.

Passive achievements will only make you stand out among certain groups of people...

If a cat lover sees an incredibly gentle and adorable cat, they'll definitely want to cuddle it. But if that cat scratches three marks on your face, you'll think about giving it a back throw.

All achievements that increase initial favorability are based on similar principles.

It didn't say that the increased favorability wouldn't decrease...

Isamara is clearly the chaotic creature.

"Can you not be so arbitrary? Can you consider other elements?" Chen Luo tried to persuade Isamara to temporarily stop getting so close to him.

"You can see my real face, right?"

"Uh, yes."

"The Magic Mirror said when it cast the curse on me that only the destined one can see my true thoughts, so it's true." Isamara seemed to have already made up her mind, so no matter what Chen Luo said, Isamara didn't seem to intend to change her mind.

Chapter 1113 has no world-ending plotline (not a tragedy).

"Can we talk this out properly? You've probably already figured it out, I don't know you," Chen Luo said with a sigh.

But Isamara's next actions caught Chen Luo off guard and left him completely bewildered.

Isamara suddenly brought her face close to Chen Luo's, and Chen Luo instinctively covered his lips, but Isamara lightly licked Chen Luo's cheek.

This taste...it tastes like a lie!

“Lying is bad,” Isamara said seriously to Chen Luo.

"Okay, I admit, I know you a little bit, but it's just something I've heard of. Let's get things straight first, okay? Once we've got it all sorted out, you can do whatever you want..."

"Really?"

"real."

It's just a bounced check, no big deal.

It's illegal to scam idiots!!!

What's it to you?

Hearing Chen Luo's promise, Isamara reluctantly and slowly released Chen Luo.

Chen Luo breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Isamara maintained the greatest distance in history, at least 20 centimeters away from him.

Chen Luo was under a lot of pressure just now.

Even though Chen Luo had used the power of the Herrscher of Knowledge to suppress his urge to stick close to them, there was a real possibility that something inappropriate for children would have happened in public on the first floor of the bar. And what if someone had come into the bar...

But now that the two have separated for a while, Chen Luo does feel a little reluctant to part.

Please, this is Skadi! Who wouldn't be tempted?

But Chen Luo felt that solving the mystery surrounding Skadi was definitely more important right now!

"So what exactly happened? And what is our relationship?" Chen Luo invited Isamara to sit at an empty table, took out a bottle of juice, and began to formally get to know each other.

Su Yuan, Xiao Shi, Yun Xia, and Yun Lian'er don't need to worry for now. They are currently in treasure hunting mode and won't be able to search the entire town in less than an hour or two.

This is a big town, after all, and it's also home to all sorts of monsters.

Chen Luo looked at Isamara in front of him and suddenly felt confused. Where should he start asking her questions?

"Hmm, that kettle, don't you want it anymore?" Chen Luo pondered for a moment, then pointed to the kettle that Isamara had thrown on the ground and hadn't picked up yet, and asked.

"Oh!" Reminded, Isamara realized that she had left the kettle aside for a long time before hurriedly getting up from her seat and picking it up from the floor next to her.

"Here you go." Isamara handed the blue kettle directly to Chen Luo.

"Hmm?" Chen Luo tilted his head.

“This is what you gave me, asking me to keep it for you. Now, I’m returning it to you,” Isamara said.

"Huh?" Chen Luo took the pot, somewhat confused, and began to examine it.

But frankly, no matter how Chen Luo sees it, it looks like an ordinary blue kettle.

If there's any problem, it's that this blue kettle seems to be able to produce hot water anytime, which is amazing, but not entirely amazing, because Chen Luo has many amazing things in his possession.

Or perhaps my talent just went blind for once?

Speaking of which, this kettle looks similar to the kettle at the beginning of Arknights Roguelike, but it doesn't have the Rhodes Island logo.

Because there were quite a few stitched-up items in the abyss passage, Chen Luo didn't think about it that way at all when he saw the kettle.

After all, sometimes you can even see edible Originium Bugs in the Abyss Passage.

Of course, that's just how it looks; there's no Originium inside the insect.

Just like slimes, the slimes in this world are not exactly the same as the slimes on the continent of Teyvat, only their appearances are very similar.

I'm not blind; this really is just a two-star kettle. Its only function is to produce hot water. The advantage is that it doesn't need electricity, and the hot water is instant. Plus, the water is filtered and absorbed from the air.

This isn't some incomprehensible gadget like a pistol with unlimited ammo; it's just an ordinary item that's slightly unusual.

"How do you use this?" Chen Luo asked Isamara.

“Make hot water and pack things,” Isamara replied.

That's it?

"It's gone."

"Is this really mine?"

“Really.” Isamara nodded.

"..."

Although he didn't know what had happened, Chen Luo roughly understood one thing: he used what Isamara intended to return to him to get more than 1000 raw stones from Isamara.

No wonder the listening skill that was triggered told Chen Luo that if he didn't want to lose this commission, he should wear a hood.

If he hadn't been wearing that hood, Isamara's first reaction upon seeing Chen Luo would have been to rush over rather than issue a commission.

Isamara wanted the kettle, probably just to return it to Chen Luo, but if the kettle was already in Chen Luo's hands, why would Isamara want it back?

Although I'm troubled by the fact that the listener is so enigmatic, even knowing what might happen, I have to admit that the listening trigger is very important.
