Their commission was suspicious.

"Huh?" The Herrscher of Knowledge was taken aback.

"Chen Luo, didn't you say you sent Catherine, whom you had abducted, back home?"

“Yes, the original Catherine has been sent over; this is the golden Catherine,” Chen Luo said after blinking.

"Well, how should I put it? The original Catherine is highly intelligent; she can converse freely and handle problems. The golden Catherine is even more intelligent, so... after I created her, she doesn't seem to want to disappear." Chen Luo's expression became complicated as he said this.

"Machine crisis?"

"However, it's not that; it's just a biological survival instinct. After obtaining Catherine's consent, I left Catherine here."

Katherine's original memories were also erased, and she was sent back to the Mondstadt Adventurers' Guild on the Teyvat continent.

“I just don’t want to disappear immediately after I come into existence,” Catherine said with a smile.

"Why didn't other people react this way when they were made to have their own silver and gold forms?" Su Yuan asked curiously.

"The most fundamental difference between the two is that when an ordinary person is thrown into the river, three versions of themselves emerge, one of them being a future version of himself with doubled abilities. However, when Catherine is thrown into the river, only an enhanced version of herself emerges, not a future version."

"Moreover, the intelligence gap between the golden doll and the original doll is too great. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that the current golden Catherine is an artificial intelligence with emotions. This is an extremely rare case. Since she is willing to continue living, I naturally won't be so cruel as to send her away."

Continuing with this logic, even if Chen Luo cancels the Golden Catherine and then immediately summons a new one, this Golden Catherine will not be the same Golden Catherine as the previous one.

Silver Catherine doesn't have this problem, because her level of self-awareness hasn't reached the point where she has a survival instinct.

Golden Catherine didn't become overly eager to survive like Liu Huaixi; she simply didn't want to waste this life.

Since it's a gold-level Catherine, and there's a puppeteer of Chen Luo's caliber nearby, it's unlikely that the gold-level Catherine will die, barring any unforeseen circumstances.

"So that means...we can take on jobs from home from now on? Catherine, give me a few jobs quickly." Bai Zhi moved closer to Catherine.

“I’m sorry, the regional commissions are all independent, and these slots are allocated to each Catherine, and I don’t have that quota.” Catherine shook her head.

"Sigh, so what can you do?"

"Don't be so disrespectful. This is the first normal, emotional doll I've ever created. Show her some respect." Chen Luo, sitting next to Su Yuan, flicked her forehead.

Mercury lamps? That's an exception.

"Sigh, but cousin, you just threw her into the river, you didn't make her yourself."

"The river god's power is also my power. Is there a problem?"

"Uh, no."

“Although I don’t have such a quota, I will remind Miss Su Yuan if there are any bounty missions in the future,” Catherine said politely, her hands folded over her stomach.

"Catherine Unit-01 isn't actually in a work position, but rather a management position. Her status is almost equivalent to Misaka Sisters in the Misaka Sisters series. Cough cough, she's Last Order. Although she has the lowest potential of all the Catherines."

“Your Excellency Chen Luo, you are free to leave out the last sentence,” Catherine said with a smile.

"Sigh, why?" Although, Su Yuan was really curious.

"Because she is a golden Catherine, while the other Catherines are merely original Catherines created based on her, so while other Catherines can be promoted to golden golden Catherines, she alone cannot be further enhanced," Chen Luo explained.

"But don't panic, I'm trying to enhance her puppetry skills, and I'll create a +13 Catherine sooner or later. This is also my promise to Catherine. After all, it's a management position, so it should have some special features."

Although the most unique dish is indeed unique, Catherine doesn't seem to really like that kind of uniqueness.

"Oh, can Catherine post commissions?" Su Yuan asked, somewhat surprised.

"Of course. And it's a four-star long-term commission."

[Life's Initial Wish]: For life, the most important thing is to have life. Do not cancel the summoning of Golden Catherine, and be responsible for Catherine's subsequent maintenance and enhancement.

Rewards: 1000 Primogems + random rewards + maximum control over Catherine (distributed in advance)

Difficulty: Four stars

This mission... who knows when this long-term mission will be completed? Probably when Catherine feels it's about time, the mission will be finished, right?

"In addition to managing and coordinating the other Catherines, Catherine has other duties. Catherine, show us."

"...Do we really have to do this?" Catherine hesitated, unable to finish her sentence.

"Don't be shy."

“Okay…” Catherine slowly closed her eyes.

When Catherine opened her eyes a second later, her pupils had turned gold, and she raised her hand, slapping Chen Luo across the face.

After that slap, Catherine's pupils returned to their original color.

The Abyss Passage's consciousness, after its initial attack, declared: "Hit and run, that's so exciting!"

Chapter 1192 Chen Luo: Xiao Shi, guess who's missing from the sticky gathering later?

"So the one who just slapped you, cousin, was actually the consciousness of the Abyss Passage?"

The group, who had initially thought that Catherine's other job was to satisfy Chen Luo's strange masochistic desires, reluctantly accepted Chen Luo's explanation after he offered his justification.

"Really, I'm not some kind of pervert who likes getting beaten up. If I really liked getting beaten up, why wouldn't I let the Herrscher of Knowledge beat me up? She even has a whip." Chen Luo said irritably.

"Do you need it? Do you need it? Do you need it? If you need it... I'd be happy to help." The Herrscher of Knowledge blinked and asked excitedly after hearing Chen Luo call her name.

"..." Chen Luo glared fiercely at the Herald of Knowledge.

There's going to be a sticker party at the Möbius Labs in a little while. Guess who's not showing up?

"!!!"

Although the Herrscher of Knowledge did not have the ability to see signs like Liu Huaixi and Chen Luo, and the Herrscher of Knowledge's ability could not be used in the bar, the Herrscher of Knowledge keenly sensed a kind of malice coming towards it.

Moreover, this malice came from Chen Luo, so the Lawbringer quickly sat back down, obediently placing his hands on his knees and listening attentively to Chen Luo's explanation.

Elementary school students' sitting posture while listening to lectures.

Those who understand the laws may not be the most alert, but they are certainly sharp enough!

"That's the truth. Perhaps it's because when she first brought Catherine to the Abyss Passage, the Abyss Passage possessed her, so she ended up with this job."

"Is slapping your cousin a job when you have nothing better to do?"

"...It's a task to inspect the people's conditions!"

"It was precisely because of this special job that she was exceptionally granted the status of the Last Order by the consciousness of the Abyss Passage. Not only was she connected to a special network that only Catherine of the Abyss Passage could access, but she also didn't have to work."

"So the price is that the Abyss Passage can slap you in the face anytime, cousin?"

"That's enough! You've been talking about this non-stop!"

"Cousin, you were hit by Catherine."

"..." Looking at Su Yuan, who had already reached her rebellious phase, Chen Luo began to think about how to make Su Yuan understand the meaning of respect for elders and juniors.

Oh, Su Yuan is my aunt, right?

That's fine.

"I'm going to work in the former civilization. If you have any questions, just ask Catherine herself. Do you want to come?" Chen Luo turned to look at the Herrscher of Knowledge.

"I'm not going, I'm going to do a commission! I want to see why you're so obsessed with commissions, Lolo." Surprisingly, the Herrscher of Knowledge shook her head.

Seeing that the Lawbringer of Knowledge had surprisingly refused him, Chen Luo nodded with satisfaction.

The child has grown up and finally knows how to leave home.

In this way, I won't have to be blinded by a single leaf when I'm with Möbius later.

Good news!

Chen Luo felt that the Herrscher of Knowledge was gradually becoming more skeptical of the "Blinded by a Leaf" skill, so he decided to use it as little as possible.

"Well then, to motivate you and let you experience my joy, all the gold coins you earn today by completing tasks will be counted as special gold coins. And you can use these special gold coins to exchange for some wishes with me."

"But this only counts the gold coins earned through commissions. Don't try to fool me; you can't hide anything from my eyes."

"Furthermore, you are not allowed to post commissions for yourself, nor are you allowed to delegate commissions to others. You can only accept commissions from the Adventurers' Guild through normal means and then obtain gold coins."

"Don't think I can't see it; I actually know everything."

Chen Luo said this because he had thought for a long time about how to cleverly complete commissions, so he had a lot of experience in it.

“But you never refused when I made wishes to you before,” Bai Zhi objected.

“I mean any wish,” Chen Luo said expressionlessly.

"..." Su Yuan was the first to pick up the sword next to the table, and walked straight up toward the bar door that was not closed.

[I really want to hear my cousin call me "Auntie" for a whole day! No way, I'm making this wish come true!]

First and foremost, you need to grind for tasks!

However, Su Yuan only had one quest and 200 gold coins, so she planned to go to the entrance of the Adventurers' Guild to ask if anyone wanted to sell a quest.

The power of attorney is transferable!

"No way, are you playing this high?" The Herrscher of Knowledge was shocked, and then followed him out of the bar.

The Lawbringer of Knowledge has no desires, but he needs enough gold coins to prevent Chen Luo from fulfilling the desires of others!

Those who understand the laws of nature are aware of their situation; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say it's fraught with danger.

Who knows what kind of wishes these guys around Chen Luo will make?

Since that gold coin can grant any wish, then as long as I offer a high enough price, I should be able to prevent Chen Luo from fulfilling the wishes they posted, right?

Although one person can't defeat so many people, stopping one is one less!

"Um, I just remembered I have something to take care of, so I'll head out first." Seeing the few people still left in the bar, Yun Xia quickly chased after the Herrscher of Knowledge.

"I'm afraid something might have happened to Yun Xia, I'm going to check on her." Yun Lian'er stood up and slowly walked outside.

Yun Lian'er wasn't panicked, because her biggest advantage in this abyss passage was that she had her own familiar!

Yun Lian'er believed that Mengmeng was definitely included among the people Chen Luo mentioned.

There might not be a silver-haired succubus named Yueyue, but there will definitely be a Mengmeng!

If not, then let Mengmeng seduce Chen Luo!

And the familiar's gold coins are the master's gold coins!

Therefore, Yun Lian'er was not flustered at all.

"Luckily, I arrived early enough to receive three tasks." Bai Zhi looked at the three tasks in her hand with some relief.

Although Bai Zhi arrived quite late, she was one position ahead of Su Yuan in the queue. Before Chen Luo announced the news, these commissions were just a game for Su Yuan and the others, so they didn't take them seriously. As a result, Bai Zhi got a great advantage!

The three tasks cost a total of 800 gold coins. Although it's unclear what level of wish these gold coins can buy from Chen Luo, it's still a higher starting point than others.

With beautiful dreams in her heart, Bai Zhi also walked out of the bar.

"Xiaoxi, aren't you going?" Chen Luo looked at the last member of the group.

"Huh? Am I included too?" Liu Huaixi was somewhat flattered.

"...If I didn't include you, how would that be fair to you, considering you rushed into the Adventurers' Guild first thing this morning and took on every single quest you could get?" Chen Luo said irritably.

"Um... I was just curious about the mission. Really," Liu Huaixi said shyly.

"Alright, hurry up and do your quests. Compared to those people who are thinking about how to get more quests, your problem now is how to finish all the quests you have. Oh, right, bring Little Fox along too, she can take on 10 of you. We can bribe her by exchanging some fried tofu for her later," Chen Luo said.

"Waaah!" At Chen Luo's request, the little goddess transformed back into her fox form and protested, raising her little fists.

I'm not that easy to bribe.

“Golden fried tofu,” Chen Luo interrupted.

"!!!" The little fox's ears perked up instantly.

To prevent the little fox from eating too much good fried tofu and becoming picky later, Chen Luo often controlled the quality of the fried tofu for the little fox.

Others are also considering forming alliances, and Liu Huaixi is a good candidate, but the current situation is that there are many people but few commissions.

Moreover, no one knew that Liu Huaixi had gone to the entrance of the Adventurers' Guild at around 5 a.m. that morning to wait. After the Adventurers' Guild opened, while everyone else was interested in Catherine, Liu Huaixi took down all the available commission notices from the bulletin board.

Moreover, because she picked too many, Liu Huaixi is currently facing a fine of 10000 gold coins.

10000 Abyss Gold Coins are equivalent to 1000 Low-Grade Spirit Stones.

So... you can imagine just how many requests Liu Huaixi has on her hands.

For Liu Huaixi, whose combat strength is low due to the lack of allies, the little fox is a good choice.

Because the little fox is easy to bribe and is also quite powerful.
