Their commission was suspicious.

Chen Luo originally wanted to ask Crispy Shark how he planned to deal with his alternate personality, but Crispy Shark just laughed himself to death.

This problem isn't actually that difficult to solve, since Ghost Shark is also a part of the shark's personality, and the two are essentially one and the same.

After regaining their own memories and personality, unless they experience very special stimuli, the alternate personality should not reappear.

Ghost Shark's situation is unlike Seele and Black Seele, or Herrscher of the Void and Kiana; it's simply a case of split personality.

When someone plays a game and creates multiple accounts, whether it's their main account or a secondary account, they are all their own.

However, before helping others solve their problems, Chen Luo always likes to ask about their plans first.

However, Ghost Shark laughed so hard that he passed out from laughing.

"Sigh, poor child." Looking at Ghost Shark, whose eyes had regained their blankness and madness, Chen Luo rubbed his head.

But this time, Chen Luo suppressed his passive desire to pat the head. Chen Luo just wanted to pat Specter's head simply, after all, Specter's experience was indeed somewhat tragic.

Don't advise others to do good if you haven't experienced their suffering. Chen Luo couldn't judge whether the pain caused by Skadi and Turbid Skadi was greater than the pain caused by Specter and Returning Nether Specter.

However, the torment and suffering that Ghost Shark endured in the Deep Sea Church were indeed etched on Ghost Shark's body, and Chen Luo saw them all.

Chen Luo doesn't need to separate Ghost Shark and Guiming Ghost Shark, or create a body specifically to accommodate the other's personality like Isamara did.

A soul extractor can do that, but not every instance of amnesia requires such a drastic measure.

Under Chen Luo's caress, although Chen Luo suppressed the ability to remove mental frenzy and curses, the sense of security brought by the head pat still calmed Ghost Shark down.

"You...know me before I lost my memory?" Ghost Shark asked, looking somewhat pained.

That is the pain that comes from the disconnect between memory and reality.

For Ghost Shark in its current state, forcing itself to recall the past is not a good thing.

"I know him." Chen Luo nodded, without denying it.

Chen Luo did not intend to completely cure Crispy Shark in the short term; a slow cure had its advantages.

Crispy Shark is actually a little envious of Ghost Shark, because Ghost Shark is crazy enough. For Crispy Shark, a sculptor who pursues art, madness is also a kind of inspiration.

Chen Luo never tried to hide his identity in this world from others; he was just too lazy to mention it.

He deliberately revealed his identity to Crispy Shark so that he could better help her with her treatment and prevent her from resisting.

Chen Luo didn't reveal his identity to Skadi because he felt there was no need to.

I'm just a simple psychologist, what's the point of making this public?

Whether it worked or not, you know in your heart! The poor little orca, you've completely fooled it!

To shut up.

"Sleep well, have a peaceful dream," Chen Luo coaxed the Ghost Shark, who had regained its tranquility.

"Please...don't leave me, okay?" Ghost Shark asked Chen Luo after hesitating for a moment.

[Ding! You have a new request!]

Don't overthink it. The Specter's mind has been slightly affected by the torment she suffered at the hands of that church; strange things occasionally appear in her dreams, and a gentle head pat brings her some peace.

The mentally unstable Ghost Shark was too straightforward and didn't mince words. She needed Chen Luo, so she directly called out to him.

"Of course, I'll stay by your side until you fall asleep." Chen Luo nodded gently.

"Merciful messenger, please guard my dreams and protect my heart..."

Having been confined in the church for so long, Ghost Shark was forced to learn what prayer was, and over time it became one of her habits.

But Ghost Shark fell asleep much faster than it could have imagined.

[Ding! Mission complete]

"It's done!"

Seeing the ghost shark fall into a peaceful sleep in a second, Chen Luo knew his job was done.

Although Chen Luo doesn't possess the Nightmare ability of the Herrscher of Knowledge, he can use his Inner Demon ability in reverse to create a beautiful dream for others.

Aside from its mental purifying effect, the head pat also seems to have a good sleep-inducing effect.

Seeing that Ghost Shark had fallen into a deep sleep in the blink of an eye, Chen Luo glanced at the tag on its body and then removed the restraints from Ghost Shark's body.

At least until noon tomorrow, Ghost Shark will be in good spirits, so he doesn't need to stay in this hospital bed any longer.

If possible, Chen Luo would like to remind her to change into a comfortable set of pajamas, but Ghost Shark was already asleep, so there was no need to wake her up for that reason.

Chen Luo would never do something like [breaking into his children's rooms late at night, waking them up, and then asking them if they were asleep].

"Some treacherous commoner is trying to harm me!" Chen Luo instinctively dodged to the side.

The next moment, a hand reached out to grab Chen Luo.

After Chen Luo released the restraints, Ghost Shark's hands were also freed. Perhaps because Chen Luo's hands were no longer above Ghost Shark's head, Ghost Shark felt a little empty, so its hands subconsciously reached out to the side...

Fortunately, Chen Luo dodged quickly.

After thinking for a moment, Chen Luo took out a red orca plush toy from his backpack and stuffed it into Ghost Shark's arms.

Chen Luo manufactured many of these ordinary red orca dolls to make them indistinguishable from real ones.

Perhaps because there was something to grab, the ghost shark calmed down while holding the red orca.

After taking one last look at Ghost Shark with his reconnaissance ability to confirm that nothing unexpected would happen, Chen Luo used the teleportation anchor point to return to the bar.

Chen Luo didn't need to bother Exusiai and Texas any further; he would find out when they left Rhodes Island tomorrow.

Chen Luo hoped they could rush back to Lungmen overnight and not stay on Rhodes Island for even a moment longer, but Terra was indeed dangerous at night, so it would be better to set off early tomorrow morning.

Exusiai and the others will eventually have to get used to Chen Luo's elusive nature; otherwise, having to explain himself to them every time he leaves would be too much trouble.

……

"Little Shi, don't work so hard. It's good to rest when you're tired," Chen Luo said, patting the Herrscher of Knowledge's head.

"No, I can still do commissions! Let me up, I can still do them!" The Herrscher of Knowledge waved her hands wildly.

“…Alright.” Seeing the Herrscher of Knowledge’s unwavering determination, Chen Luo released his hand from the head massage she was giving her.

"I need to do some more quests, save up a little more, and I'll reach 3 gold coins. Once I have 3 gold coins, I'll stop." After lying on Chen Luo's lap for a while, the Herrscher of Knowledge finally struggled to get up.

[Impossible! The Herald of Knowledge's words are like saying I *don't* believe it—completely unreliable!]

"Sigh, I should have set the limited-time event for 8 a.m. today instead of midnight." Chen Luo complained, looking at the overly excited Herrscher of Knowledge.

When Chen Luo returned to the bar, it hadn't opened yet. He had gone there at 6 PM and returned around 7 PM.

After resting for a while in the bar, the Herrscher of Knowledge returned and pulled Chen Luo to the corner of a rectangular table. He pressed Chen Luo down there and lay down on Chen Luo's lap to enjoy a lap pillow.

The bar offers seats of various sizes to cater to different preferences.

The person who knows the law is currently in a state where they have worked all day but are reluctant to give up the remaining 4 hours when they could make money because of the high wages they have earned.

I can still earn coins! I still have stamina! I'm going to use up all the stamina I've accumulated over the past two years!

"It's my turn, it's my turn. Cousin, please reply to me quickly, I'm so tired." Before Chen Luo could even stand up, or even watch the Herrscher of Knowledge leave, he was pressed back into his seat. Immediately afterward, Su Yuan lay down on Chen Luo's lap, asking for a massage.

"...Okay, okay."

They clearly earned the gold coins to spend at Chen Luo's place, but now they need Chen Luo to give them massages. This world is so unfair.

But seeing that Su Yuan seemed really tired, Chen Luo decided to help her out.

However, Shi Zhilu came to Chen Luo twice today seeking comfort, simply because she rarely separated from Chen Luo for such a long time. Being tired was secondary; the main issue was mental exhaustion.

Moreover, since the Law of Knowledge was used to physical contact with Chen Luo, Chen Luo didn't need to worry about massages or anything like that.

Su Yuan was different; she simply looked on with envy.

"So after you finish resting, you'll continue to take on commissions?"

"Of course! Wouldn't it be a waste not to give this one-day limited-time event a try?" Su Yuan said matter-of-factly.

"Although I really want to encourage you, the thought of what you plan to do with the gold coins makes me unhappy." Chen Luo ruffled Su Yuan's hair and continued to massage her head.

For Su Yuan, mental exhaustion was even more severe than physical fatigue.

Repeating the same task throughout the day is already frustrating enough. And since Su Yuan and her group don't have a teleportation point and have to fly there themselves in this tedious way, it's even more frustrating.

"Hehe... Cousin, don't go back on your word. You said you could use the gold coins for whatever you wanted." Su Yuan wasn't embarrassed at all that her little scheme had been seen through, after all, it was what she deserved.

If Chen Luo hadn't tricked her, Su Yuan would never have signed that contract!

"Yes, yes, yes, we agreed that it can be used to fulfill any wish, so I definitely won't lie to you."

Su Yuan didn't lie on Chen Luo's lap for too long. Although the head pats and head massages were very comfortable, relieving fatigue and making people feel refreshed, which was quite fascinating, Su Yuan's original intention in refreshing herself was to continue working on her commission.

"Ding-a-ling!" The wind chimes rang out, and Yun Xia, who had just walked in after seeing Su Yuan leave Chen Luo's lap, brightened up and ran over as well.

Yunxia stood in front of Chen Luo with her hands on her hips, without saying a word.

[Ding! You have a new request!]

What could Chen Luo do? Of course, he would accept the commission.

The Herrschers and the others are all diligently completing quests at the Adventurers' Guild, so Chen Luo, staying at the bar, certainly wouldn't want to fall behind.

"You don't seem to have come from the Abyss Passage of Xinghai City, do you?" Chen Luo asked while helping Yun Xia relax.

“Yeah, the commission in the Abyss Passage of Xinghai City has already been taken by the three of them: the Herrscher of Knowledge, Su Yuan, and Liu Huaixi. So I went to the Abyss Passage in the capital city. I was thinking of monopolizing the Abyss Passage in the capital city by myself, but I didn’t expect that Yun Lian’er thought the same thing…” Yun Xia said angrily.

Compared to the Abyss Passage in Xinghai City, where everyone's progress is roughly the same, the Abyss Passage in the capital city is the stronghold of Yun Xia and Yun Lian'er, two veteran S-level talents. There, both of them control at least several private virtual gates and have enough connections, making it much easier for them to acquire commissions.

While it's not impossible to go to different adventurer guild outposts in the Abyss Passage of Xinghai City, it's more troublesome than going to the Abyss Passage in the capital city to accept quests, because there are very few virtual portals open in the Abyss Passage of Xinghai City.

You can think of it this way: each abyss passage is like a complete map, but only four or five anchor points are open in the Starsea City abyss passage, while all the anchor points are open in another abyss passage. And the quests you accept cover the entire map, some of which require a long time to complete...

Of course, it's more convenient to go to the abyss passage in the capital!

Furthermore, due to the development of the Abyss Passage in Xinghai City, there are far fewer people in the Abyss Passage in the capital city.

In terms of profit, the Abyss Passage in Xinghai City is definitely more lucrative, because you can explore the wilderness along the way. However, in terms of the wealth of commissions, the Abyss Passage in the capital city is more abundant.

You can earn spirit stones anytime, but special gold coins can only be obtained today, and there are many items that can be exchanged for them.

If, and I mean if... Genshin Impact opened up a system where Mora earned in a day could be used to go on a date with any character (inviting them to a real-world date), and you could choose where to go, and even personally dress up your character—the degree of freedom was extremely high...

So, are you going to log off or not today?

Are you willing to log off until you've used up all the stamina you've converted from resin?

Chapter 1206 General Thunder's Black Silk

"Ha, ha, I can't take it anymore, I'm not coming anymore, I can't take it anymore." Liu Huaixi lay painfully on Chen Luo's lap, looking completely exhausted.

"You really need to work out with your small frame. Of all the participants, you were the only one who collapsed due to exhaustion."

"Ugh..." Liu Huaixi let out a mournful cry like a small animal.

Liu Huaixi is still a child!

This refers not to age, but to ability.

Liu Huaixi became an S-level talent in less than half a month, even shorter than Chen Luo.

Even with spiritual power to enhance her physical strength, it was still not enough to sustain Liu Huaixi's exhaustion for a whole day.

Unlike others who only receive head massages and emotional support, Liu Huaixi wanted a full-body massage.

What does it feel like for a shut-in who's been staying home for a long time to run a marathon? That's exactly how Liu Huaixi feels right now.

Liu Huaixi now feels that her body is no longer her own.

"You still have eight or nine higher-level tasks and some ordinary commissions, so you can't rest yet," Yvette said, standing next to Liu Huaixi who was receiving a full-body massage, holding up several commission lists.

Chen Luo couldn't help but glance at him sideways.

Chen Luo almost mistook Yvette for Amiya.

Amiya told herself the same thing yesterday, and then she managed to finish in two hours what would normally take several days...

"It's yours, don't come back, I quit!" Upon hearing Yvette's urging, Liu Huaixi covered her ears.

I quit! I quit! I quit!

Liu Huaixi has already saved 10 gold coins, which sounds like a lot, right? But in reality, it's not even worth a single high-grade spirit stone.

The suggested retail price for gold coins is 10 gold coins for one high-grade spirit stone, but nobody usually listens to the suggested retail price.
