Their commission was suspicious.

Chapter 1115 Isamara's Attempt to Get By Using "Cuteness" to Pass the Gate

Through his actions, Chen Luo proved that blood is indeed more efficient than saliva in the exchange of bodily fluids.

Neither magic nor any strange liquid that can prolong Isamara's existence can compare to blood.

Ishamara sat in the corner of the bar, looking somewhat resentfully at Chen Luo, who had a revolver lying beside him and was lightly tapping his fingers on the table.

Beside Chen Luo were cocoons of life, each woven from a long silk thread.

However, unlike the cocoons that are usually used as a vessel for healing others to help them break free and transform, these life cocoons are red.

Chen Luo's ability to manipulate silk threads is unparalleled, and one of the characteristics of his control ability is that he can condense various types of silk threads. Chen Luo injects his blood into these tiny silk threads, and then weaves these threads into a cocoon, forming a solid that resembles a red candy.

These candies look only the size of peanuts, but they contain a whopping 200 milliliters of blood.

Concentrated is the essence.

Beside Chen Luo's hand were 30 peanuts the size of Wowo.

With so much blood, it should have been enough to drain Chen Luo dry.

Fortunately, in addition to having a variety of resurrection abilities, Chen Luo also has a fairly strong recovery ability.

The ability to break free from the cocoon and transform into a butterfly allows Chen Luo's blood expenditure to keep pace with his blood production rate.

"Alright." When 50 red peanuts appeared next to Chen Luo, the doll he was weaving was also successfully completed.

The blood from those 50 red peanuts was enough to drain two adults dry, but thankfully Chen Luo recovered quickly.

Upon hearing Chen Luo's voice, Isamara happily moved closer to him, then stared intently at the doll in his hand.

It was an exquisite doll woven from threads of different colors, a spirit doll.

The bright red dress and long, white hair perfectly identified the girl sitting next to Chen Luo.

Although Chen Luo didn't feel that he had let Isamara down, Isamara's constant staring at him made Chen Luo easily mistakenly believe that he had done something very bad.

So Chen Luo helped Isamara weave a puppet made of silk threads.

Aside from not wanting to be constantly watched by Isamara, Isamara's wish for 200 gems was just a side effect.

Since this spirit doll was also one of the requirements for the job change quest, Chen Luo made a delicate one for Isamara, but not a perfect one.

The job change quest has three stages. The first stage is not just about carving a puppet. In addition to puppets, there are also various strange-sounding people such as spirit puppets and combat puppets.

What Chen Luo probably wants most is the damage transfer doll from the middle of the second phase.

However, Chen Luo is currently only in the first stage of the job change task.

To be fair, this gold-plated 3-in-1 Puppeteer Job Certificate is quite something.

Chen Luo felt a sense of relief as he watched Isamara happily and carefully cradling the spirit doll woven from silk threads in her hands.

As a doll maker, the happiest thing is naturally seeing the dolls I make loved by people.

Of course, it would be even better if we could have raw gemstones.

[Ding! Mission complete]

Isamara was overjoyed, and Chen Luo was satisfied with his earnings and the Primal Stone—it should have been a doubly happy occasion. But Chen Luo was somewhat bewildered when he saw Isamara, beaming with delight, toss the spirit doll in her hand into the blue thermos.

"What are you doing?" Chen Luo asked Isamara, puzzled.

“Good stuff, put it in the kettle. You used to do it this way too,” Isamara said after placing the spirit doll into the kettle.

"???" Chen Luo thought to himself that even if he had the world in the lake and all the good stuff, he should put it in his backpack, since a backpack is the safest place.

Wait, a puppet, a person, a world within a pot?

"Excuse me, what are those 'good things' you're referring to that were put into the lake? Are they things that are similar in shape to dolls?" Chen Luo asked.

"Yes." Isamara nodded vigorously.

"..." Although Chen Luo wasn't entirely clear on what would happen in the future, he knew that, given his personality, what he would likely throw into the lake would be... a person?

To be fair, Chen Luo wasn't a very short-tempered person, but he knew some people who, in a way, would be treated the best if he were killed cleanly.

Take Minister Ernest, for example; throwing him into this lake world would be too lenient for him.

However, Orlistan is currently being subjected to slow slicing on the gallows, so there's no rush for now.

Besides Ernest, there are quite a few other puppets in the capital who deserve to be thrown into a pot-shaped world and made to suffer.

Anyway, the doll can come back to life...

If possible, Chen Luo would like to throw some of the people from the Black Bullet into the Lake World, so they can often see what it's like to be chased by monsters without the protection of a loli.

“Next time, don’t put anything that looks like a person into this kettle. This kettle doesn’t have the crystal ball anymore, so it has no storage function. And more importantly, I didn’t throw them into the lake because I liked them. If you really like this spirit doll, just wear it on your body. Don’t worry, it won’t get lost. If it does, I’ll make you two more,” Chen Luo said.

Although Chen Luo knew that Isamara would probably understand something, Isamara seemed a bit silly right now, and Chen Luo felt embarrassed to add anything inappropriate for children.

"Really?" Isamara took the spirit doll woven from silk threads out of the kettle and looked at Chen Luo with a questioning look.

"Really." Chen Luo nodded.

Isamara looked down at the doll in her hand, lost in thought.

[Getting two dolls for throwing away one sounds like a great deal...]

"Wait, what are you trying to do? I'm warning you, if you deliberately threw it away, I won't give it to you. I can tell whether you really threw it away or did it on purpose," Chen Luo warned.

Who taught you to exploit bugs here?

It's clear that Isamara is just a bit simple-minded, but she's not stupid, otherwise she wouldn't have come up with such a method.

“No. It was the first doll Lolo gave me, and I cherish it very much.” Isamara held the light, ethereal doll in her hands, pressing it against her chest.

"..." If I hadn't been able to read your mind, I almost would have believed you.

But she truly cherished it. She was simply considering whether the first doll she received was more valuable, or whether the two dolls together were more precious.

hiss.

A logical genius.

"Hmm? Haven't I given you a doll before? No, I gave you a doll from the future."

That shouldn't be the case... Chen Luo has gotten used to giving a doll to everyone he meets.

These dolls not only serve as visual objects, but also have practical effects.

For example, the spirit doll that Chen Luo created for Isamara has the ability to monitor vital signs and store small items.

To prevent Isamara from suddenly passing away, Chen Luo prepared this special doll for her.

Liu Huaixi's doll is an invisible doll.

“That was for Skadi, not for me,” Isamara replied earnestly, gently stroking the little doll that resembled her.

"emmm......"

Is there a difference?

If Chen Luo remembered correctly, according to the information on that card, Isamara was sent to the crystal ball to recuperate right after being separated from Skadi, right?

Wouldn't the doll that Chen Luo gives to Skadi in the future be equivalent to giving it to Isamara, whose consciousness is hidden in Skadi's body?

You're really stubborn!

What's it to you?

Chen Luo collected all 50 red candies on the table into a bottle, and then threw the bottle into the summoned River of Time.

To be a proper river god, one must think about throwing anything into the river to see what happens.

Although the masterful manipulation of the threads meant Chen Luo felt no pain as his blood was drawn, it was still blood being extracted from his body, so every little bit saved counted.

Throwing it into the river is naturally the best way to use it.

Blood is not an extremely precious substance, so the golden candy reappeared safely on the table.

Realizing that the ordinary plastic bottles could not stop the blood essence from slowly leaking out of the candy, Chen Luo emptied all the candy from the three bottles and put it into the Klein bottle.

The Klein bottle is not named after Klein, but rather it is the bottle that can never be filled.

Chen Luo only learned that the bottle containing the Void Wine was a Klein bottle after he gained the ability to investigate.

The reason we hadn't noticed before was because Chen Luo had never filled the bottle to the brim.

It was only later that we discovered this bottle could never be filled.

If you add water until it almost covers the bottle opening, it will not overflow even if you continue to add water.

Chen Luo hasn't discovered the upper limit yet, because he's not that bored and keeps adding water.

But in terms of investigative capabilities, there's a limit to how much you can expect from this bottle. After all, it's a free bottle, so what more could you ask for?

But the bottle's seal is really good.

Chen Luo solemnly handed the three bottles to Isamara.

After Isamara took the three bottles, she felt a sense of unease, as if she didn't know where to put them.

Do I have to carry these three bottles with me forever?

“No need for that. The spirit doll you’re wearing around your waist is actually a storage item. Although it can’t hold anything too big, it can hold a few bottles and some odds and ends without any problem.” As Chen Luo spoke, he taught Isamara how to use the spirit doll.

The spirit doll used a hair from Isamara, so it was already bound to Isamara.

With Chen Luo's guidance, Isamara successfully mastered the use of the spirit doll. Besides monitoring Isamara's vital signs and storing small items, this doll could also remind Isamara to take her "medicine" on time.

"Take the red one first, then the silver one, then the gold one," Chen Luo instructed on the order of administration.

Based on calculations and the experiment just conducted, a red candy can extend Isamara's lifespan by one hour. This refers to one hour of real time, not the kind where five minutes are lost with each step.

The silver one should last two hours, and the gold one should last four hours.

These candies will last Isamara a long time.

Only blood can have such a good effect. If it were saliva, it could indeed add an hour per second, but that hour would be the kind where you lose 5 minutes for every step you take.

However, the Book of Akasha did not mislead Chen Luo. The reason why saliva is the best choice is because saliva will not harm the body.

Other bodily fluids besides saliva are also acceptable, and even life force or magic can be transferred, but blood is the best carrier.

In other words, if an illegal immigrant arrives in another world, the best way to prolong their existence in that world is to "eat" people.

Following this logic, Isamara could also return to the crystal ball, as long as she was willing to devour her "blood relatives".

However, these blood relatives were actually prepared for Little A, and Isamara doesn't seem to want to go back to the crystal ball, so let him stay here.

"Isamara, eat some candy to prolong your time. Once your identity is processed, you can come and go freely," Chen Luo said, stroking Isamara's long silver hair.

"Mmm." Isamara nodded vigorously, then took a red candy from her own spirit doll and put it in her mouth, looking rather happy.

Isamara witnessed the process of making these candies, but she didn't care; in fact, she felt a strange sense of "emotion."

In Hai Si's overly simplistic value system, devouring blood relatives is also one of the effective ways to prolong the clan's life.

"As long as Lolo doesn't suddenly disappear, that's fine," Isamara said.

“The candy is delicious, thank you,” Isamara added, savoring the taste of the candy in her mouth.

"Of course, none of those 50 candies taste the same." Since they were candies, Chen Luo would naturally modify the flavor.

We can't let Isamara's mouth taste like blood every day, can we? What if—Chen Luo means what if… what if she pounces on us again?

However, Chen Luo wanted to say that Isamara could actually be swallowed directly.

"Speaking of which, when I first met you, Isamara, you spoke very fluently. Why are you speaking haltingly now?" Chen Luo asked curiously.

"..." Isamara fell silent, lost in thought.

[A naturally adorable Isamara is trying to be even cuter in your eyes, which is why she's using a cute tone of voice when speaking to you. Because Skadi did that before...]

"???"

Chapter 1116 [Isamara's Confession Quotes]? Who buys whom!

After Chen Luo left the bar, Isamara was also led by Chen Luo's hand tentatively out of the bar.

After confirming that she would not feel anything unusual while moving freely, Isamara jumped up happily and nestled into Chen Luo's arms.

For Isamara, who doesn't particularly enjoy sitting quietly for long periods, being able to move around without feeling noticeably weaker is something to be happy about.

Seeing the faint shadow on Isamara's body that wasn't bothersome to Chen Luo, Chen Luo didn't intend to use his peeling ability to remove it for Isamara right now.
