Their commission was suspicious.

Extremely strong will to survive ( )

Now it seems... the reason why my talent was able to be displayed so exceptionally well and see Xiao Jiu's needs might have been because of Chen Luo's reminder.

"..." Since Liu Huaixi had said that, Xiao Jiu had no choice but to accept it.

As Liu Huaixi said, Liu Huaixi is only an S-level talent user. Putting aside the fact that Xiao Jiu is surrounded by the aura of time, even in her juvenile form, her strength is quite formidable...

Just take Xiao Jiu himself as an example; he is an SS-level talent.

Although the presence of this talent diminished considerably after he became the Heavenly Emperor, it has continued to play a role.

Aside from the possibility that Liu Huaixi deliberately framed him, the only other explanation is that it was a coincidence.

However, Xiao Jiu doesn't really believe in fate, so Xiao Jiu still wants to be a fan!

"Xiaoxi, hurry up and look for the last special gold coin! Quick, look again, we're just one coin short!"

I'm just one short! If I find just one more gold coin, I'll convene a meeting of the immortals in a moment!

Just one more...

"Uh, is 1/3 okay?" Liu Huaixi asked hesitantly.

"Ah, 1/3?" Xiao Jiu's voice rose a little!

What the heck?

Do you want to listen to what you're saying?

“That’s right, one-third. You know I’m working with Little Fox and Yvette on commissions because there are too many, and we just happened to have an extra gold coin when it came time to distribute them…”

"They originally intended to give me this gold coin, but at Chen Luo's suggestion, the three of us divided it into three pieces as proof of our pleasant cooperation."

"You mean... if I want to collect this gold coin, besides finding you, I also need to find Yvette and the little fox?" Xiao Jiu's face was contorted with embarrassment.

That's outrageous!

But how do you get gold coins from other people?

Don't even think about it.

Aside from Liu Huaixi, who is desperately short of money, no one else would do business with Xiao Jiu.

They would still be useful if they had gold coins.

Xiao Jiu even suspected that Chen Luo had specifically told others not to sell the last gold coin to her.

Don't blame Xiao Jiu for overthinking; Xiao Jiu never hesitates to speculate about Chen Luo with the utmost malice!

Even if he lets himself eat and drink for free!

Although money is tempting, neither Su Yuan nor Bai Zhi seemed to be short of money. Moreover, if they were in trouble, they could just tell Chen Luo and get help without even needing gold coins.

Only Liu Huaixi was too embarrassed to bother Chen Luo too often.

As for the little fox and Yvette?

One is Chen Luo's pet, and the other is Chen Luo's doll. Getting those gold coins from them... seems so difficult.

Most importantly, since Xiao Jiu's gold coins are stuck at 9999 for various reasons, the mischievous Chen Luo might deliberately make things difficult for Xiao Jiu.

It's not for any other reason than because it's fun.

This is why Xiao Jiu wants physical gold coins, because transactions using physical gold coins do not require Chen Luo to transfer funds.

As expected, everyone else's gold coins should have been stored with Chen Luo, turning into virtual currency, which is prone to being blocked.

So now the only possibility is the remaining 2/3 of real-world gold coins.

Because the coins were cut up, they might not care, which gave Xiao Jiu an opportunity!

No, I have to find a way to get the remaining 2/3 of the gold coins!

Xiao Jiu's gaze shifted to the little fox who was curled up sleeping on the bar counter.

The little fox had been sleeping ever since Chen Luo took it out of the previous civilization, and Xiao Jiu could tell that the little fox was digesting something.

Although Xiao Jiu really wanted to slap the little fox twice to make her get up and get some life advice, she decided to wait patiently for a while, thinking about the one-third of the gold coins in the other's hand.

"Oh, by the way, don't tell Chen Luo about the 999 gold coins and the 1/3 of the gold coins," Xiao Jiu said to Liu Huaixi, somewhat sadly putting away the gold coins on the table.

“…Okay.” Liu Huaixi hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded.

Actually... Liu Huaixi felt that even if she didn't say anything, Chen Luo would be able to tell.

But if Xiao Jiu liked me deceiving myself, Liu Huaixi wouldn't have shattered her illusions.

"Ding-a-ling!" The wind chimes rang, and Chen Luo walked in from outside the bar.

Upon seeing Chen Luo walk in, Xiao Jiu quickly gripped the one-third of the gold coin in her hand.

Xiao Jiu had already collected the gold coins from the other tables, leaving only one-third of the gold coins to be displayed.

小九是不太希望陈洛知道自己手中有1/3金币，而且只差剩下2/3没金币就可以集齐1万金币的这件事情。

To prevent Chen Luo from playing tricks.

If we don't go through Chen Luo to conduct cryptocurrency transactions, maybe we can keep it from him...?

Never mind, it's normal for kids to like to deceive themselves, right?

Isn't a juvenile body just a child?

"Wake up, wake up." Chen Luo didn't pay much attention to Liu Huaixi and Xiao Jiu standing together, but went straight to the bar and picked up the little fox.

"Waaah..." the little fox cried out weakly.

Sometimes, even after waking up, you might still feel sleepy, not because you slept too little, but because you slept for too long. The little fox is an example of the latter.

But the little fox still wanted to sleep.

"We're about to head back to the spiritual plane, get up quickly."

"Whoa, whoa..."

"Fine, let's go back. You could have just held me. Why did you wake me up?" the little fox complained.

"Of course, I can't stand seeing you so comfortable, since I'm in charge of getting you on the road," Chen Luo said matter-of-factly.

"Whoa, whoa..."

[Ding! You have a new request!]

【Let me sleep for another five...five hours!】: Unless absolutely necessary, do not disturb the little fox's sleep!

Reward: 200 rough stones + favorability of the Eightfold God Son 20

Difficulty: 3 stars

"..."

Is your favorability rating so cheap?

This is the first time Chen Luo has raised the little fox's favorability. Perhaps it's because the 15 days spent in the previous civilization made the little fox's intelligence more mature?

Well, for the sake of the raw stone, I won't let you suffer with me.

"By the way, Yu, I've found a way for you to talk freely without having to stay in the bar," Chen Luo said to Yu, who was idly playing a game beside him, after hugging the little fox in his arms.

"Really?" Yu was pleasantly surprised.

Although Yu thought staying in the bar was fine, it would definitely be more interesting to be able to talk normally while playing in other worlds.

Yu has many places she wants to go, but the bar is too small...

"Really, I've found a method, but it's not certain if it will be 100% successful. I need to test it again, but I don't have time right now," Chen Luo said.

"Sigh, You're leaving the bar too? Does that mean I'll be the only regular customer left?" Xiao Jiu asked, a little reluctant.

Xiao Jiu needs to stay in the bar to avoid being hunted down by strange beings in the river of time, so she needs to stay in the bar all day long.

Fortunately, there are occasional customers in the bar, and Xiaoyou is unable to leave the bar, so Xiaojiu has a companion.

Now that Xiaoyou is leaving, Xiaojiu will be all alone in the bar. Xiaojiu can only feel less lonely when other people come to the bar occasionally…

“This is a necessary step for adults; you’re too young to understand. Anyway, I’ll help You with the test whenever I have time this afternoon,” Chen Luo said, patting Xiao Jiu’s head.

"..."

Will you help with testing whenever you have time?

If Chen Luo doesn't have time, then that's fine, isn't it?

"I'm going back to the River of Time." With that thought, Xiao Jiu returned to the River of Time and closed the door behind her.

"You, please wait a few more hours. Once I've resolved things on my end, I'll test it for you."

"Mm." He nodded slightly.

……

Chen Luo left the bar carrying the little fox, and then led everyone on a magic carpet to fly towards the nearest Void Gate.

The abyss passage has this inconvenience: unless you have special items, you need to find a void portal to return to the blank hall.

Generally speaking, virtual doors are quite far from safe points.

Therefore, if Chen Luo and the others want to return to the spiritual energy plane, they have to go to the nearest void gate.

This suggestion has been criticized by many people, and even Chen Luo has raised his opinion, but the consciousness of the Abyss Passage does not seem to want to change it.

It seems to enjoy watching the "players" constantly running around.

This is how the game is; if you don't like it, don't play!

"Little Twelve, can't you think of a way to help get Yueyue out too?" Chen Luo asked, sitting at the very front of the magic carpet and looking up.

"No way! Calling me 'Little Twelve' again! Besides, I haven't gotten revenge for the time you made me twist my neck!"

Listen to trigger it!

"To be honest, didn't you slap me last time? Using Catherine's body?" Chen Luo tried to remind the consciousness of the Abyss Passage.

"That was last time! Besides, it was Catherine who did it, what does it have to do with me, Twelfth... what does it have to do with me?"

"Please, please help me. The Book of Akasha told me that the easiest way is to find you. Otherwise, I would have to go to the Abyss Passage in the capital to get a special item with a very complicated acquisition process, which would take a lot of time."

"Now you know to beg me? No way!"

"Little Twelfth Sister, please."

What's the point of calling me "sister"? Calling me "ma"...

*Click!*

Before the consciousness of the abyss passage could finish speaking, Chen Luo heard an extremely crisp sound of bones dislocating.

"Little Twelfth Sister? Little Twelfth? Abyss Passage Consciousness? Strange, why did she disconnect? Little Thirteen, what do you think?"

[My lord, there must be something fishy about this. By the way, don't name me Little Thirteen; it sounds awful. Besides, didn't I arrive earlier than the Abyss Passage Consciousness and Isamara? Why am I ranked 13th?]

"..."

What a strange obsession.

Can't I just forget? You didn't remind me.

Can you hear me?

"I can hear you. What happened just now? Why did you suddenly disconnect? And why does your voice sound a little strange?" Chen Luo asked, puzzled.

"It's nothing, I just twisted my neck and then fell, my face is swollen, but it's nothing serious."

When listening to the trigger, Chen Luo could clearly feel that Xiao Shier's voice didn't sound very clear.

"So, Little Twelfth Sister..."

"No, even if you call me 'adult,' it's still better than 'sister.'"

"Then, young master twelfth, do you have any connections?"

"Yes, you really do. But you'll have to pay."

"What channel?"

"An arena match is about to begin; the opponent's reward is the ability to carry a creature out of the abyss passage. You can participate."

The voice of the twelfth young master returned to normal at a speed that could be heard by the naked ear.
