"It's quite normal, or rather, it's already quite generous of me that Durandal took so long to report this to Otto. Speaking of which, why hasn't Durandal come to the bar? Has she forgotten about this?" Chen Luo muttered.

"As for how to answer... just answer the truth, after all, everyone is a guest. But if possible, could you notify Otto a few days later?"

Durandal, Durandal, please come quickly, I can help you find your parents.

The requirements aren't high; you just need to get a three-star commission.

If all else fails, two stars will do.

Considering our relationship, one star is fine too.

Well, well... even a little bit is acceptable, but at least give me something, right?

It can't be less than a lollipop, right?

"It's possible, but is that the point? And what do you want Durandal to do here? Are you trying to fleece her?" Theresa looked at Chen Luo warily.

Although Theresa and Durandal's relationship wasn't overly close, they were still comrades-in-arms.

"Look at what you're saying. Let me ask you, did I make you suffer a loss by using you to complete quests?" Chen Luo asked, arms crossed.

“Uh, I didn’t lose out,” Theresa said after thinking for a while.

After all, Chen Luo really provided him with good food and drink, and even helped him find a niece.

"Maybe Alo knows what kind of request Durandal might have? Didn't Alo spend some time with Durandal? Maybe he figured something out." Raiden Mei unconsciously started speaking up for Chen Luo.

“Mei is the smartest. Durandal’s secrets are no less significant than the secrets you all have,” Chen Luo said, pointing to Theresa, Himeko, Raiden Mei, Bronya, and Kiana one by one.

"Wait, I understand that Mei has a secret, but what secret do I have?" Kiana asked, puzzled.

"Kiana, don't underestimate yourself. Your secret is no less significant than Mei's. By the way, your long hair looks beautiful."

Kiana didn't have her hair braided today, which is unusual, since she had just washed it.

"Really? Hehe, it's not that pretty..." Kiana said somewhat shyly.

"Hey, wait a minute, Kiana, don't get too carried away with your self-admiration. Chen Luo, you need to explain yourself clearly, what secrets does Kiana have?" In the end, it was Kiana's aunt Theresa who remained rational.

Anyway, it wasn't Theresa who was being praised, so Theresa wasn't happy about it.

"Well... it's a secret for now, it's not the right time to talk about it yet." Chen Luo shook his head.

Kiana's secret is truly enormous, and since Chen Luo has said that Kiana has a secret, it naturally means that Chen Luo intends to take action to resolve this matter.

The conflict between Kiana's two personalities, Kiana and her Queen consciousness, is indeed a complex and difficult issue to explain.

I wouldn't say I was heartbroken, but I was definitely conflicted.

In short, I feel a bit uneasy.

But for the two of them, it seemed like fate, almost inevitable.

Kiana and Sirin are actually the same person, somewhat like a Herrscher consciousness, but their situation is not quite the same as Raiden Mei's Herrscher consciousness.

The fact that Chen Luo spoke at this moment meant that he already had half a solution.

The Queen's consciousness remained deep within Kiana's consciousness, occasionally emerging to cause trouble, and indeed posed a very high potential danger.

Although Kiana did grow after those events, it was a painful process, and the price she paid was quite high.

Kiana and Chen Luo are also friends and have fought side by side. Although she may not have Primogems, Chen Luo will still help her in this way.

Of course, it would be even better if a new quest appeared along the way.

It's like even if Wendy didn't give him a request, Chen Luo would still be willing to help him beat up Stormterror once.

It was just something I could do; I'll help if I can.

Of course, this only applies to throwing Stormterror into the battlefield.

"Alo, I'll have an ice cream," Kiana called out.

[Ding! You have a new request!]

"Good."

And look, given Kiana's personality, getting 20 Primogems every day is no problem at all; she'll only get more, not less.

If you persist for 15 days, you'll get 300 raw gems, right?

If you persist for a month, this will yield 600 raw stones.

Therefore, someone who always prioritizes quests and Originium is definitely not a qualified traveler.

Why does the world have to be so dark and cruel? Wouldn't it be better if it were more ordinary?

"Kiana, you're eating ice cream again. You've already had two servings today. You can't have any more."

"Oh, Auntie, I only ate two servings." Kiana looked at Theresa with a slightly aggrieved expression.

"Theresa, you've already had two cups of bitter melon juice today, you can't drink any more," Chen Luo said coldly.

"Sigh, I only had two drinks." Theresa looked at Chen Luo with a somewhat aggrieved expression.

"I was just kidding."

"Yay! Another one, please!"

"Sigh..." Raiden Mei couldn't help but facepalm.

"By the way, Bronya, how have you been doing at St. Freya Academy these past few days?" Chen Luo asked Bronya in a tone of a parent looking at a child.

Anyway, it won't be long before Cocolia becomes his doll, so naturally Chen Luo will be of the same generation as Cocolia, or even a generation older, so there's absolutely no problem with using this tone.

"What did you just call me?" Bronya's eyes suddenly sharpened.

"Spain?" Chen Luo asked curiously.

“…” Bronya looked at Chen Luo scrutinizingly, but couldn’t sense anything wrong with him.

The other person was just speaking a little fast, but...

“Very good, thank you for your concern.” Bronya downed her glass of vodka.

"So... do you think Theresa, Himeko, Kiana, and Mei are good to you?" Chen Luo asked with a smile.

“If Kiana is removed, everything is fine,” Bronya said after a moment’s hesitation.

"Hey, hey, hey, what do you mean by removing me? Haven't I been good to you?" Kiana became dissatisfied.

"So, do you like your current life?" Chen Luo and Bronya both tacitly ignored Kiana.

“I like it. But it would be even better if Seele were there, so when are you going to finish your mission?” Bronya asked.

"Uh, don't be so hasty. That's not the point right now. The point is, what if... Cocolia wants to ruin your life right now?" Chen Luo whispered the last sentence into Bronya's ear, so no one else could hear it.

"!!!" Bronya's pupils trembled slightly.

"Do not……"

"Don't say it's impossible, you know it's very possible." Before Bronya could finish speaking, Chen Luo interrupted her.

"..." Bronya didn't speak, because she knew Chen Luo was telling the truth.

Bronya knows Cocolia all too well.

During this time of living in the same house with everyone, Bronya felt a long-lost sense of warmth.

Himeko Murata is lazy yet exceptionally responsible.

Raiden Mei is gentle, considerate, and caring towards herself.

Kiana is earnest yet silly, but she brings joy.

Theresa, the mascot.

If Seele could come to my side, that would be a truly perfect life.

And honestly, after being at the Zero Point Bar for so long, Bronya felt that having Chen Luo take her to bring Seele out of the Quantum Sea was much more reliable than having Cocolia do it herself.

If you can travel back and forth between different worlds, is it really that difficult to go to the Sea of ​​Quanta?

"So, do you need my help?" Chen Luo asked, pressing his advantage.

"Hmm?" Bronya looked up at Chen Luo.

Is this guy planning to use himself to farm commissions?

This was Bronya's first reaction, but she wasn't offended.

After all, who wouldn't like it if someone could help them, and for free?

Bronya guessed that what the other party was collecting was probably just the desires, hopes, and longings that arose when she wanted to resolve this matter.

But this stuff is completely useless to Bronya.

To give an example, this thing is not even as valuable to Bronya as the gold coins she earned in the game.

You're asking if you'd be willing to exchange Mora earned in the Genshin Impact game for someone else to grant your wish.

"Speaking of which, have I ever told you that I am a Herrscher?" Chen Luo suddenly remembered this.

"Oh right, Chen Luo, you've become a Herrscher, right? What Herrscher?" Theresa remembered this.

“The Herrscher of Corruption. And coincidentally, the Herrscher of Corruption is quite adept at dealing with biochips, so…” Chen Luo winked at Bronya, his meaning already quite clear.

The Law of Domination won't talk to them anymore; it's pointless. What's important now is the Law of Corruption.

[Ding! You have a new request!]

Okay, we're on track!

Chen Luo looked at Bronya with admiration.

This person is intelligent and easy to get along with.

"Let's go, Bronya, come upstairs with me." After saying that, Chen Luo walked directly out from behind the bar and headed towards the second floor.

"Hmm? Bronya, what are you up to now?" Theresa asked curiously.

Theresa was used to this kind of situation; it was simply that Bronya had issued a mission, and Chen Luo had accepted it.

But if they don't speak up, Theresa and the others, as bystanders, will have no way of knowing the details of the deal.

"It's nothing, wait for me, I'll be right down." Bronya shook her head, not telling the truth.

After all, Bronya didn't want to ruin the current atmosphere.

I will be honest about it later, but not now.

After Bronya followed Chen Luo up to the second floor, she found that Chen Luo still did not stop, but instead headed towards the third floor, which had never been open to the public before.

"What do you want to do? Where are you taking me?" Bronya's tone was wary, but she did not stop walking.

He was truly a hypocrite.

“Of course, I’ll go to the attic, where I rest. I can treat you anywhere, but I’m afraid you won’t be used to it. Since I’ve never modified a biological core before, I’m not sure if you’ll feel anything special. If you scream, it’ll cause a big misunderstanding. Mei and the others are still downstairs.” Chen Luo said as he opened the attic door and went upstairs.

"Huh? It can even make noises?" Bronya suddenly felt that Chen Luo was unreliable.

Is your treatment really legitimate?

"Don't ask me that. I haven't tried it. I only know that it works," Chen Luo said innocently.

Hilarious! The Herrscher of Corruption from the previous era wouldn't care if the people whose biochips were invaded were in pain. She would have wanted to kill everyone.

"Wait, you've never performed this type of 'surgery' on anyone before?" Even Bronya, who was born without any skills or knowledge, expressed her deep doubts and distrust.

"Don't worry, you won't hurt yourself no matter what you do in this bar, so you can focus on getting treatment here."

"Besides, you're the first person to come to my three-story attic besides me. Aren't you really going to go in and take a look?" Chen Luo asked, standing on the lowered stairs.

"..." It has to be said, Bronya was tempted.

Bronya was genuinely curious.

……

"Hey, Bronya, what's wrong? Why do you look like you've been deceived?" Bronya came downstairs with a blank expression.

But not all expressions are the same.

"And why is your face so red?"

Bronya's face was expressionless, but she gave the impression that she had just finished strenuous exercise.

"It's nothing, I'm just extremely disappointed."
