Their commission was suspicious.

According to the Book of Akasha, Chen Luo's optimal timeframe for plot jumps is a little over a month.

Chen Luo could spend a month in the deepest part of the world.

As for whether staying in the deepest places is dangerous?

Ha, the danger lies with the others in the deepest depths.

Upon learning that the punishment was given by Möbius himself, Chen Luo couldn't help but wonder if Möbius had done it on purpose.

Chen Luo was in the same laboratory as Mebius at the time. Besides drinking milk tea together, they also talked about his plan to jump to a month in the storyline.

At the time, Chen Luo joked that if Mebius planned to get close to Chen Luo within the next month, he should first open the bar door and pull Chen Luo's consciousness back.

But instead of Möbius, he sent Chen Luo to the deepest place to stay for a month!

Out of sight out of mind.

Although it sounds like Chen Luo has been punished, Chen Luo himself doesn't care about safety issues.

In the deepest depths, anyone who latches onto either Aponia or Qianjie can do whatever they want, and Chen Luo simply clings to both of them!

However, Cangxuan, Danzhu, and Hua were unaware that Chen Luo had been imprisoned in the deepest place; otherwise, they would be even more worried now.

With Wilvi speaking up for Chen Luo, Cang Xuan, Dan Zhu, and Hua temporarily believed that Chen Luo wouldn't face too harsh treatment. Moreover, since they had stayed for far too long, they could only gradually leave the observation room amidst Chen Luo's reluctant gaze.

Now, only Chen Luo and Vervi were left in the observation room.

"Sigh, speaking of which, I'm currently working on the fifth Divine Key. But I don't really like this Divine Key." As she said this, Velvi's tone became melancholy again, and she even stopped performing magic tricks.

"What's wrong, my great inventor?" Chen Luo asked.

[Vilvie, who has a strong urge to confide in others]

Even geniuses need to confide in others, and since Chen Luo, an audience member, is currently in the observation room with Wilvie, it's a perfect opportunity to discuss related issues.

At least Chen Luo, who can even fight the higher-ups of the Fire Moth, certainly doesn't have much respect for the Fire Moth.

"Those high-ranking members of the Fire-Chasing Moths are simply blind! They insist on making some incredibly powerful weapons. My Fourth Divine Key! What a brilliant idea! It could restore the entire planet's ecosystem! But they're not satisfied; they still want me to make some extremely destructive weapons..."

Vilvi looked annoyed.

The fourth key to the divine, a... satellite.

Its only purpose is to orbit around a space station periodically and then restore the ecosystem.

In fact, this Divine Key has already begun to function, used to repair the enormous damage caused to Australia by the Seventh Herrscher.

The Seventh Herrscher set Australia ablaze, and although the fire only burned for a week, the cleanup was far more complicated.

"And Dr. Mei actually plans to cut my project budget by 80%! This also means that the Fifth Divine Key has to be made into a powerful weapon or something... Sigh." Velvi sighed heavily.

"So, what do you think, my audience? Do you think destructive weapons of mass destruction are better, or functional weapons are better?" Velvi asked Chen Luo.

"Then it must be functional. Forgive my bluntness, but all destructive items are garbage! Functional items are the real gods!" Chen Luo said directly and firmly.

Ninety percent of Chen Luo's items are functional items, and each of these items alone is formidable. If combined, they could easily handle three to five Heavenly Emperors.

Although it's unclear when Xiao Jiu became a combat unit, that's the reality.

Once you put on the Friendship N-piece set, even the Heavenly Emperor would have to lie on the ground laughing for ages.

Of course, Chen Luo wasn't saying that offensive items weren't important.

In fact, the Gungnir and the Eden Star of Gravity that Chen Luo frequently uses have a decisive influence on him.

“Right, right? The second Divine Key I made is so perfect, a locomotive, no one would believe it’s the second Divine Key, right? And it can also be used to observe other parallel worlds, this is the true use of the Second Herrscher’s Herrscher Core!” Velvi said with great pride.

"But unfortunately, there probably won't be any more interesting Divine Keys like this in the future," Chen Luo remarked.

In fact, starting with the sixth Divine Key, these Divine Keys changed from functional Divine Keys to offensive Divine Keys.

Each one is a weapon designed for direct confrontation against the Honkai, without exception.

However, upon closer inspection, it becomes clear that the Divine Keys that play a decisive role in the next civilization and provide the greatest help to people are actually the Divine Keys preceding the Sixth Divine Key.

The First Key to Godhood, the Void Treasury

The Second Divine Key, A Thousand Realms in One

The Fourth Divine Key, a certain satellite

The Fifth Key of God, the Key of Stagnation: All Things Go to Sleep.

The last Divine Key was indeed originally designed by Velvi to be a terrifying ice weapon used to annihilate enemies, just as Velvi has now designed it. However, it was later dismantled by Velvi and transformed into a cryogenic chamber.

Vilvi, an absolute genius!

"Sigh." Hearing Chen Luo say this, Wilvi also became depressed again.

However, despite the frustration, there was also some consolation.

Unexpectedly, my first encounter with a kindred spirit in mechanical manufacturing concepts happened in the observation room of the moth chasing the flame.

Originally, Vivi thought Chen Luo was only a confidant in magic, but she didn't expect that their ideas on machinery and weapons manufacturing were so similar.

“Alright, let’s not talk about those unpleasant things anymore. Since we’re in the observation room with nothing to do, I’ll teach you how to make a small robot. Are you interested?” Velvi asked.

"It's not impossible, but do you have the materials right now?"

“Of course. A qualified magician must always carry enough props to surprise others.” As she spoke, Velvi took off her hat and then removed some parts from it.

“Okay, next I will explain it to you. This is the hat, and these are the parts. Now you can put the hat that I just took apart back on. Consider this your first lesson in mechanics.” Wilvi laid out the parts and the hat on the ground, and then sat down on the ground.

"...Are you serious?" Chen Luo was taken aback.

"What's wrong? Is something the problem? You just saw me take the parts off the hat, so putting them back together should be easy, right?" Virvi asked, puzzled.

"..."

What does Virvi's statement mean?

This is roughly equivalent to a basic attack and a dodge. Got it? Alright, now you can go and beat Sekiro without taking damage!

Those geniuses are like that, always silently undermining the confidence of ordinary people. After all, in Wilvi's view, easily reassembling the hat was a very simple matter. Isn't that something anyone can do with their hands? Using their feet? That's just a little more troublesome!

Chen Luo just saw that this hat looks simple, but it has at least dozens, almost a hundred, parts.

Having many parts isn't a problem; the key issue is that these parts are small...

"Move it." Wilvi looked at Chen Luo expectantly.

[Ding! You have a new request!]

Just moments ago, Chen Luo was contemplating whether to bury his mechanical talent, but after hearing this voice, he had no choice.

Okay, it's just a hat, right? It's just some slightly complicated mechanical parts, right?

As long as you provide the right amount of raw gems, I'll not only give you a hat, but I'll even craft a Divine Key for you with my bare hands!

Chen Luo simply recalled the general steps that Wilvi took to disassemble these mechanical parts, and then began to reverse engineer them to put them back in their original positions.

Chen Luo hadn't looked carefully enough. He initially thought that Vilvie was going to disassemble the parts and assemble them into a small robot, but he didn't expect her to ask him to reassemble the hat.

But no problem.

Chen Luo is a blacksmith of unparalleled skill.

Although it sounds a bit extreme, Chen Luo managed to raise his forging skills to a superb level by simply feeding Liu Wenxuan bread.

I originally reached the Grandmaster level after two bread-making quests, but the Imperial Craftsman identity quest gave me another breakthrough stone...

Forging skills are now one of Chen Luo's only three superb skills.

The first two are bubble wrap popping and thread manipulation.

However, Chen Luo did not feel proud of his superb forging skills.

Because Velvi was also at a superb level...

It's... pretty outrageous.

Moreover, Velvi has more than one superb skill.

All of this is thanks to the Mind Splitting talent that Velvet possessed even before becoming a Fusion Warrior, which allows her to concentrate her talents on a single skill...

Damn! Why were all the geniuses from the previous civilization so amazing?!

Is this what they mean by "when a nation is about to perish, monsters will appear everywhere"?

Xiao Shi doesn't possess any extraordinary skills, but Fu Hua does. However, she only acquired them after fully recovering her memories.

As for why Xiaoshi didn't know?

Even if Xiao Shi possesses Fu Hua's memories, wouldn't he still be completely outmatched by Fu Hua in chess, a game that simply tests one's thinking and skills?

As for Hua from the pre-civilization era... it can only be said that compared to geniuses like Vervi, Mebius, and Mei, Hua is the kind of hard-working, late-stage character.

Very talented, but needs to develop.

Kevin is the kind of player who's invincible in the early, mid, and late game – a true cheater.

However, to his shame, as a puppeteer, Chen Luo had actually leveled up his blacksmithing skills to the highest level first. His puppeteer skills were still hovering around the master level.

[Ding! Mission complete]

"My dear audience, your talent in mechanical assembly far exceeds my expectations. Would you be interested in joining the engineering department?"

When Vilvi saw that Chen Luo had not only reassembled the hat but had even made some minor modifications, her eyes lit up.

"Luo Luo!" But before Chen Luo could answer, he heard a very sad voice.

"You died a terrible death."

Chen Luo's face instantly darkened.

"I'm not dead yet." Chen Luo stood up, walked to the communicator, and shouted at the person on the other end.

"It's almost here, your punishment is coming. You're going to spend a month in the deepest place. What's the difference between that and dying?" Alicia, who was separated from Chen Luo by only a pane of glass, said while wiping away her tears.

"...Alright, stop pretending to be sad. Also, put your eye drops on." After a moment of silence, Chen Luo said irritably.

"Huh? You figured it out?" Alicia exclaimed in surprise.

"You're still too green to act in front of me." Chen Luo waved his hand.

You need to raise your acting skills to an unparalleled level to have even the slightest chance of fooling the "scouts".

No, there's not even the slightest possibility.

“But I am truly heartbroken about it,” Alicia said earnestly, her face genuinely showing sadness.

This time, she was serious. But...

Upon seeing the talent, Chen Luo was slightly surprised. Had he misunderstood Alicia?

"After all, if you get locked up in the deepest place this afternoon, what will happen to the dinner you promised?" Alicia said with a disappointed look.

But she's just craving your cooking.

"...Alicia! Give me back that 0.01 second of feeling I had!"

"Oh, only 0.01 seconds? How heartbreaking. So what am I going to do about the dinner I promised to have tonight?" Alicia said, distressed.

"Can't you worry about me first? I'm going to the deepest place, you know." Chen Luo pointed to himself.

"What's there to worry about? Aponia is also in the Deepest Place. I'm actually a little envious that you can spend a month alone with Aponia." Alicia looked at Chen Luo with envy.

She was genuinely envious; she wasn't lying. Even with Aponia by your side, she still had some worries, but Alicia didn't intend to voice them.

[Because Alicia didn't want you to worry about her because you found out she was worried about you. And she tried to lighten the mood with some cheerful topics.]

"Don't worry, I'll visit you often this month. With a beautiful girl by your side, and another beautiful girl outside prison thinking about you... How about it? Don't you feel a kind of happiness as a scumbag?" Alicia asked curiously.

"Could you describe it another way... like 'a winner in life'?"

Chapter 1142 Alicia's Dinner Invitation

"What about me? What about me? Doesn't anyone care about me?" Velvi leaned closer again.

Alicia not only interrupted Velvi's teaching career, but also didn't say a single word of concern, which really hurt Velvi deeply.

As for why she was heartbroken, all I can say is that Alicia, that heart-stealing scumbag, is just too amazing.

Back then, when Velvet mistakenly believed that the Fire Moth was the culprit behind the Honkai, she single-handedly fought against the entire Fire Moth. After being captured, she was thinking about how to handle the situation properly, but Alicia appeared and chose to be Velvet's guarantor.

Alicia's attack power against beautiful girls has always been widely acknowledged.
