Their commission was suspicious.

"???" Kaname Madoka doubted that the older brother in front of her did not understand her meaning at all.

"It's just a handmade toy. If you like it, take it. Maybe we'll meet again in the future. Let's just consider it fate."

When Chen Luo forced three necklaces on the middle school student, he gently pushed her away.

Watching the three girls gathered together in the sunset, discussing and pointing in their direction, Chen Luo continued to stand on the street in a daze.

Due to the timeline reset, although it was almost time for Chen Luo's bar to open, it was still only afternoon in the magical girl world.

The world line has only recently been reset, so presumably no transfer student named Homura Akemi has yet joined Madoka Kaname's class.

The gears of fate had not yet begun to turn, but Chen Luo's investigative abilities revealed countless causes and effects in Xiao Yuan.

At this point, Madoka and her friends have neither met Mami Tomoe nor seen Kyubey.

The bad guy Chen Luo was referring to was naturally Cupid.

Unfortunately, the necklaces Chen Luo gave them probably couldn't protect them from all the bad guys; at least, Qubi couldn't.

Those three necklaces were just little props that Chen Luo made using his ability to determine fate when he had nothing else to do.

But it's only to the extent that small amounts of luck accumulate on you; finding money is probably no problem, but avoiding the fate of meeting Kyubey is probably out of the question.

After all, in Kyubey's eyes, Madoka Kaname, who was entangled with countless causes and effects, was like the bright moon among countless stars.

What a huge order!

As for why Madoka Kaname came to find Chen Luo after seeing him, it was probably because Chen Luo seemed somewhat friendly.

Although saying this might be illegal, Chen Luo has actually achieved quite a few things that increase the affection level of lolis.

Or rather, for Chen Luo, the easiest group to win over is girls in the loli category.

"I'm back." Qiu Bi used Chen Luo's clothes as a step to climb onto Chen Luo's shoulder.

Chen Luo didn't even ask about the outcome of Qiu Bi's return.

"Judging from your expression, you should know roughly what happened. It seems this world has entered a cycle, but don't worry, even though time has been reversed, the contract doesn't seem to have been canceled. The memories have been shared, so there's nothing to worry about," Qiu Bi reported to Chen Luo.

“I was never worried that the contract would be canceled because of this. It was just expected.”

Just kidding. If contracts could be so easily broken by time reversal, this contract wouldn't have given even the demon god Othinus such a headache.

Ever since signing the contract that he couldn't destroy the world unless he won against Chen Luo in a game of hide-and-seek, Othinus has insisted on harassing Chen Luo every day.

However, the frequency of harassment has recently decreased from 10 times a day to once a day, and it has become routine.

It's hard to say how much more of Othinus's desire to destroy the world remains, and Chen Luo can try to create the remaining few Rose Dolls.

However, the contract will certainly remain intact, but the success of the persuasion may not necessarily be the case.

The main reason why Qiu Bi was willing to follow Chen Luo around and serve as bait and tool for Chen Luo was because the great success of persuasion made Qiu Bi firmly believe that Chen Luo was the optimal way to solve the problem of entropy increase.

But now it seems that it wasn't the countless Kyubeys after the time reset who convinced the Shadow Kyubey, but rather the Shadow Kyubeys who convinced all the normal Kyubeys after the timeline reset.

The results of this resounding success are still outstanding!

Because the consciousness of a Cupid can be shared, Chen Luo's ability to persuade one Cupid is equivalent to persuading all Cupids.

However, a successful persuasion does not mean that Kyubey must listen to everything Chen Luo says. At the very least, if Chen Luo tells Kyubey not to develop magical girls for now, Kyubey may not listen.

Because in Qubi's view, Chen Luo might indeed be the best way to solve the problem of entropy increase, but Qubi's own habit is that he cannot waste anything.

It's always good to collect more energy!

Because the contract still applies even though the timeline has been reversed, the other Kyubey accidentally ended up at the bar less than a day after the time reversal.

This is also cause and effect in another sense.

Otherwise, why would Kyubey be the one to come to the bar, instead of Homura Akemi, Madoka Kaname, or Mami Tomoe?

Is it because there are many Cupids and a large base number that the probability of selecting them is high?

"Um, big brother, this is a return gift." Xiao Yuan returned to Chen Luo's side again, and this time she brought the three exquisite necklaces as a return gift.

Chen Luo glanced at the three items in Xiao Yuan's hand.

A small mirror, a fountain pen, and a cute keychain.

These are all common items.

Chen Luo looked at the other two little friends of the small circle standing not far away.

Perhaps noticing Chen Luo looking in their direction, the other two girls also waved gently in greeting.

It seems that Madoka Kaname and her two companions really like Chen Luosong's delicate little pendant.

This at least proves that Chen Luo's aesthetic sense is still on point.

Little girls can never resist cute things.

"Yes, I'll accept these three return gifts. Remember to wear those three pendants carefully; they've been blessed and can bring good luck."

"It's clear you have two very kind friends. I hope you can maintain your friendship."

After understanding Xiaoyuan's persistence through his investigative skills, Chen Luo chose to accept the three items.

"Big brother, is this your pet?" Kaname Madoka looked at Kyubey, who was sitting obediently on Chen Luo's shoulder, with shining eyes.

If you don't have any prejudice, you have to admit that Kyubey is indeed quite cute.

And coincidentally, the kind of animal that Madoka likes is small and soft to the touch, so Kyubey hit Madoka's ball perfectly into her strike zone.

"Girl, would you like to sign a contract with me and become a magical girl?"

This was Kyubey's first thought after seeing Madoka Kaname, and it also strengthened Kyubey's suspicion that he was trapped in a time loop because of a magical girl's ability.

Because of the karma that Madoka Kaname carries, and the fact that the magical girl she becomes has a higher aptitude than before.

The fact that Madoka can see Kyubey also shows that Madoka does indeed have magical talent.

But before Qiu Bi could speak, Chen Luo, who had anticipated what Qiu Bi was about to say, covered his mouth.

This is why, as Chen Luo said, even if Qubi is successfully persuaded by Chen Luo and is willing to act as bait and a tool for Chen Luo, he may still disobey.

Just as Chen Luo successfully persuaded Li Sushang, he only made Li Sushang believe that Chen Luo was her guardian spirit. In other aspects, Li Sushang may not listen to Chen Luo completely.

"Want to pinch it?" Chen Luo invited Xiao Yuan.

The kind where you can kill someone and not have to pay compensation.

Is it really possible?

"Of course." Chen Luo nodded.

Anyway, you won't see him again in a minute.

After Xiaoyuan had been kneading and squeezing Kyubey for a while, she said goodbye with some regret.

It's time to go home; otherwise, my parents will worry.

After watching the three innocent girls leave, Chen Luo turned to look at Qiu Bi beside him.

You deserve to die!

After spending a short time with Xiaoyuan, Chen Luo became even more convinced of this fact.

Xiaoyuan is so cute and innocent, and she doesn't have a single dark thought. How could you have the nerve to lie to her!

"Choose. How many times do you plan to die? Once or ten times?" Chen Luo asked in a deep voice.

"Dying for strange reasons and unnecessarily is a waste... Well, is it okay to die once?" Kyubey clearly understood that Chen Luo didn't seem to agree with his "Theory of Wasting Food."

"You dare choose fewer? You deserve to die! 20 times!"

"...Next time you can just say it 20 times."

Chapter 1180 The Baby Orca's Bathwater?

"jingle!"

"I'm back... Hmm? Why does the atmosphere feel a bit heavy? What happened?" Chen Luo carried the exhausted-looking Qiu Bi into the bar.

Upon entering, I realized that the atmosphere of the bar was slightly off.

"Everyone is discussing my brother's wedding." Seeing that no one else had spoken up first, Abby quickly responded to Chen Luo.

"Good heavens, it must be you again, right?" Upon hearing those two words, Chen Luo's first reaction was to look at Yvette.

Sigh, Yvette hasn't been to a bar in so long, why is she discussing marriage the first thing she does?

Was it because he was too charming that Yvette went from hating him to loving him, and then fell for him?

That can't be!

“It is indeed me. I’ve already edited a report and put it in the group email. You can take a look when you have time.” Yvette sat in Chen Luo’s original seat, seemingly having no intention of getting up to give it to him.

Chen Luo simply sat quietly to the side, watching everyone eat dinner.

Although Chen Luo had been gone for a while, he and the others had just started eating.

Chen Luo wasn't afraid of going hungry, since he had the Judah Oath to provide him with special meals.

"Let me see... Ah, this is it. Don't worry, I understand your difficulties."

Chen Luo glanced at the report Yvette had just sent in the group network, and after a quick look, he knew what Yvette was thinking about.

“If possible… I hope you can at least ensure the church doesn’t suffer too much loss. My sister is still in the church,” Yvette said, putting down her chopsticks.

[Ding! You have a new request!]

"Don't worry, I'm not some kind of demon who doesn't understand human nature. In fact, when I turned others into dolls while retaining their habits, I guessed that this day would come. And this is what I've been looking forward to," Chen Luo said with a smile.

See, the commission has now come knocking on our door.

Chen Luo always remembered the preface on the 5-star Puppet Master job certificate he had obtained.

A qualified puppeteer who merely manipulates emotionless and insensitive puppets is the lowest level and the most unambitious puppeteer.

Are dolls really such inconvenient things?

A truly powerful puppeteer is one who, even when the puppets develop emotions and have their own lives, uses these puppets as a medium to influence the entire world.

Moreover, Chen Luo has now taken a shortcut.

True puppeteers typically rely on their skills to create puppets that are extremely lifelike, then place these puppets in the world, allowing them to be accepted by the world, and in doing so, to influence the world.

Chen Luo is different. He simply turns the people in the world into puppets and then directly influences the world.

The advantage of doing this is that it saves on the cost of making dolls. The bad news is that since these dolls were originally people, they each have their own thoughts, their own fates, and are extremely complex.

Therefore, Chen Luo tried his best not to interfere with their thoughts.

Let the puppets handle the puppet matters.

Of course, there's one more thing...

As potential clients of Chen Luo, the dolls could face consequences if Chen Luo were to change their minds without their consent.

"Thank you," Yvette said without changing her expression.

"Hmm, let me think of a reason... a reason that the church can accept, after all, there is no love without a reason in the world," Chen Luo muttered.

But there is hatred that comes without reason.

[Ding! Mission complete]

Yvette's request was one thing, but on the other hand, Chen Luo really didn't care much about the division of the main body resources that he had previously agreed upon with the church.

After all, gold and silver resources were already enough to make Chen Luo a fortune, but he valued raw stones even more than resources.

It doesn't refer to Yvette's original stone, but rather to the original stone from the church.

Maybe if you increase your favorability rating, a new quest will come along.

Moreover, Yvette's service as Chen Luo's puppet, even if she didn't achieve anything, certainly deserves credit for her hard work.

The angel of death beside her, Bai Zhi, had once received much kindness from the church...

But how to get the church to accept Chen Luo's good intentions without suspicion is a problem.

You're helping us pass supplies up and down the chain of command without asking for anything in return. What are you up to?

There are wise people in the church who surely understand that what is free is often the most expensive.

Alas, has trust between people fallen to this level?
