Their commission was suspicious.

Just as Sambo was about to tell Natasha what Chen Luo had just told him, he felt as if he had been shot in the knee (Golden Friendship Revolver).

"Hahahaha... How is that possible? Didn't Chen Luo run far away? Hahahaha, and how could this bullet go through a wall? Hahahaha..."

Sambo's expression now contained three parts surprise, three parts pain, three parts regret, and one part disbelief.

The remaining 90 points are all for tanking.

Damn it, I'm going to laugh for another 10 minutes. What a mess.

"This prop... I don't know much about it, but I've heard that this bullet has a guaranteed hit attribute, and Chen Luo seems to have some kind of ability to see the future, although Chen Luo himself complains that he often fails. So what exactly do you want to tell me? Since you're laughing now, why don't you... insist on saying something?" Natasha was genuinely curious about what Sambo and she wanted to say.

"Hahaha, boss, let me tell you...it hurts!" Another bullet, seemingly from nowhere, struck Sambo's knee, and Sambo clutched his knee, rolling on the ground in agony.

"I really didn't know about this feature." Natasha looked innocently at Sambo, whose eyes were full of questions.

Natasha only stayed in the bar for four hours, how could she possibly know so much?

"But I can ask for you." Natasha took out the cell phone that Chen Luo had given her before he left yesterday.

However, this phone can only communicate with people in the other world through a group network, because there is no network in the lower area.

“Oh, I found it. If someone shot with this gun is shot again while laughing, they will randomly experience a special sensation, such as pain, itching, numbness, or something similar,” Natasha said to Sambo after getting the answer from the other Natasha.

"So can't you just hold on a little longer and tell me your intelligence? We've exchanged information, you know," Natasha said with a smile.

Sometimes Natasha can be quite cunning.

After all, being too naive won't get you anywhere in the lower levels, let alone make it to the leader of the Earth Fire.

"Actually... it itches, it itches so much. I'm sorry, I won't say anymore, okay? I won't say anymore. I'll compensate you with corresponding supplies for the intelligence information. Hahahaha..."

"This time we've completely lost money, hahaha..."

The agreement was that the memory bread would be sold at a 20/80 split, but now, in order to compensate for the price of the intelligence, we can't even get the remaining two layers.

Watching Sambo bounce around on the ground like a salted fish that had lost its dreams, Natasha smiled and then began to greet the other patients who came to the clinic.

Although the four doctors' treatment methods were indeed quite professional, the people in the lower districts were unfamiliar with them, so the clinic still relied on Natasha.

"Do you want to take a break?" Natasha asked the group who had been busy.

“No need, we’re in good physical condition. This job is so easy, we should be able to accumulate enough points to exchange for the Third Law in no time. In the point evaluation, whether you work hard will also affect your point earnings.” One of the four puppets declined Natasha’s offer.

"You bastard, didn't you say you were saving up to buy the fusion surgery method? I even pre-ordered the first one," said a puppet next to me.

"Plans can't keep up with changes. We're about to leap into the stars now, and you're still thinking about your Fusion Warrior? Isn't the third magic, Soul Materialization, which grants immortality, infinity, and unlimited mana, better than the Fusion Warrior? Your Fusion Warrior is already outdated."

"Pah! Fusion warriors are the strongest! Alicia is the best in the world."

"What's it to you if Alicia is number one in the world? She's the Herrscher of Origin, aren't you?"

"Then Kevin is the best in the world."

"Ha, Kevin is nothing but a piece of trash. I, the Third Mage, can destroy him with a flick of my wrist."

"Just blow it."

"Alright, alright, stop arguing. If you ask me, magical girl plus soul materialization is the strongest. It would be even better if we could get a Stand too. I want the invincible Star Platinum... never mind, as long as it's not the Purple Hermit. So when is our boss going to that world to retrieve arrows?"

"Who knows? But you actually want to become a magical girl... Oh, you're a girl to begin with, so never mind."

"How the hell did you think of me before...?"

"Speaking of which, the points for materializing souls are already expensive enough, and then you add a magical girl on top of that... can you afford it?"

"Didn't you know these two are bundled together? If you exchange for the materialized soul, the discount for exchanging for the magical girl qualification is as low as 10%."

"..."

Why aren't you saying anything?

"I'm a little tempted..."

"You want to buy a magical girl qualification? You're a guy? Are you crazy?"

"But... materializing the soul doesn't provide much combat power."

In Natasha's view, the four part-time doctors who were Chen Luo's subordinates spoke strangely and were difficult to understand.

But when Natasha recalled the work points she had earned after working four hours at Chenluo's bar the day before, it became easy to understand what they were talking about.

"I always felt like...the things they were talking about were really impressive."

Natasha wondered if the people in the lower districts could find work with Chen Luo. But she felt it would be too much of a burden on Chen Luo, since he was already exhausted from providing comprehensive assistance to the lower districts, and Natasha felt embarrassed to trouble him further in other ways.

Actually, the lower-level areas weren't lacking in manpower, but rather in resources and skilled workers. The lower-level areas were mostly populated by miners engaged in manual labor.

However, Chen Luo must have paid a high price to cultivate so many talents, right?

Chapter 1401 Xi'er's Ambition: This Time, I Want to Be on Top!

"The standard of living in the lower district is really..." Chen Luo followed Xi'er along the road in the lower district and commented on everything he saw.

“It’s terrible, isn’t it? Don’t worry about how I feel, just tell me,” Seele said.

(The Seele below refers to Seele from Star Railway. She will be specifically indicated when introducing Seele in Honkai Impact 3.)

After all, Seele had a clear understanding of the difference between the upper and lower zones, even though that understanding came more than a decade ago.

"It's clear that you come from a relatively affluent place, right? I met Bronya once in that very special place and we chatted for a while."

“You may not understand the living conditions in the lower districts, but it is precisely these lower districts that support the people of the lower half of the city and sustain the other half.” When Seele spoke about the current situation in the lower districts, she made no attempt to hide anything.

The Lower District is indeed not good enough right now, but Seele believes she should be able to see a brighter future for it.

Seele had a premonition.

The biggest difference between Seele and others in terms of their ability to accept things is that Seele has actually been to another world. As for how Seele was swept up to the Sea of ​​Quanta and began her wanderings, Chen Luo had no idea...

Okay, it's probably Chen Luo's fault.

No, to be more precise, it was the fault of that special being. Chen Luo wanted both Black Seele and White Seele, but it's possible that the special being was momentarily distracted and pulled Seele out of its own world, then put her in front of Bronya.

However, the reason that special entity did this was because Chen Luo paid for it, so even though Chen Luo didn't do it on purpose, he definitely can't escape responsibility.

To express his apology, Chen Luo decided to give Xi'er something.

Xi'er didn't pay attention to Chen Luo's thoughts. Instead, she led Chen Luo through the lower area while looking for places where she could help.

The lower district is indeed not as good as the upper district, much less as good as the affluent area where Chen Luo and his friends lived, but it is still the place where I grew up.

"Lolo, I always feel like the people in the lower districts are having a hard time. Can you help them?" Kiana asked, leaning closer to Chen Luo.

[Ding! You have a new request!]

"It's possible, but when did you become so kind? I didn't mean anything by it, Kiana, you are indeed kind enough, but it's surprising that you suddenly made this request."

"Because I just heard that the people in the upper district live a very luxurious life. Isn't that unfair to the people in the lower district?"

"It's not so much unfair as it is infuriating, but it's certainly infuriating to talk about. That despicable High Warden made life in the Lower District even more difficult after sealing off the passage between the Upper and Lower Districts. Sooner or later, that High Warden will pay the price," Seele said fiercely.

[Ding! You have a new request!]

【That despicable Cocolia】: Make Cocolia pay the price.

Reward: 345 Primogems + Seele's Affection Level 15

Difficulty: 3 stars

“The Great Guardian who made this decision will pay the price for her words and deeds sooner or later, and I will help the Lower District move towards a better life. That is why I am here,” Chen Luo said.

"And what I meant to say at the beginning was not that the environment in the lower levels was terrible, but that it was fantastic."

"Hmm?" For a moment, Xi'er wondered if Chen Luo was mocking her or the lower-level district.

"You don't need to doubt it, you heard me right. Although it may sound a bit extreme, my purpose in coming here is to deliver a satisfactory report on the transformation of the lower districts for Natasha."

“If we convert the happiness and satisfaction of residents in the lower-level areas into scores, it might only be 20 points now. But raising it from 20 to 60 points is much simpler than raising it from 60 to 100 points,” Chen Luo said.

"Speaking of which, what did Nata give you that made you willing to come to the lower districts to help? And what help can you possibly offer?" Seele had always found this matter rather strange.

When Seele asks Bronya, the other Seele, and Mei, they always choose to change the subject. Even Kiana, who seems a little bit dim-witted, chooses to remain silent about the matter.

Even Kiana knew that some things couldn't be said by her, especially those concerning Chen Luo's purpose in coming to this lower district. She should ask Chen Luo directly.

"This is a complicated issue. One reason is that I need a stepping stone in this world, and this planet can provide that, right? If possible, I need some land, some land outside of Belberg, exposed to the wind and snow."

"What do you need territory outside of Beloborg for? If Rift creatures can feel the cold, they wouldn't even go to that awful place. It's freezing cold." Seele was even more puzzled.

"That's not important. Besides the reasons mentioned above, the more important one might be fate. After all, it's already quite a coincidence that Natasha was able to come to the bar by chance, and that coincidence might be because of you."

"I?"

“That’s right. The bar I just mentioned is a place that connects to other worlds. Whether you can come to the bar depends on fate. Perhaps it’s because you had contact with Bronya that I have a connection with this lower district. And Natasha, as the leader of the Earth Fire, accidentally came to my bar.”

"Speaking of which, you and Bronya met in the Sea of ​​Quanta. Although I don't know exactly what happened during that time, Bronya probably received a lot of care from you. So, as an adult in her family, if you have any wishes, feel free to tell me," Chen Luo said to Seele while stroking Bronya's duck head.

“No, you might have misunderstood. It was actually Bronya who took care of me back then, since I knew nothing about this Quantum Sea. She was the one who brought me back.” Seele shook her head.

"You don't need to be so modest. Just tell me what you want, and maybe I can help you fulfill it. You agree, right, Duck?"

"???"

It was clearly you who caused this mess, so why are you using me as an excuse?

Bronya figured out the truth after thinking about it.

Chen Luo once said that he had made a deal with a certain being, promising to let Bronya meet Seele within three days. However, Bronya ended up meeting Seele from this lower district instead.

Bronya doesn't believe that Seele was just wandering around the lower districts and suddenly got transported to the Sea of ​​Quanta, and that it had nothing to do with that special being.

Bronya is super smart, okay?

However, Bronya wouldn't be foolish enough to reveal the whole story, lest Seele get carried away with some unnecessary speculation and cause any trouble.

Moreover, it was common knowledge in the bar that Chen Luo was very interested in, or rather, very in need of, wishes.

Bronya provided an assist.

“That’s right. You can treat Chen Luo like an animal.” Bronya said coldly.

Although Bronya had reservations about Chen Luo referring to himself as "an adult of the Bronya family," she didn't mind giving Chen Luo a reason.

"Any wish is allowed?"

"Any wish is acceptable."

"Then... I want to make the lower district even better than the upper district, and then make those big shots in the upper district envious of the lower district, teach them a lesson, and make them put away their arrogant and condescending attitude!" At this thought, the flames in Seele's eyes began to burn fiercely.

The vast differences she experienced when she went to the Upper District as a child remain vivid in Seele's memory, and she still can't forget them.

For Seele, being able to be a member of the high and mighty Upper District as a member of the Lower District even once was already an extraordinary achievement.

[Ding! You have a new request!]

[Seele's Ambition]: This time, despite her ill-fated relationship with Bronya, Seele has decided to be on top! From this moment forward, the Lower District Redevelopment Project officially begins.

Rewards: 888 Primogems + Seele's Affinity + 30 + Random Reward + [Flash Spell] (Light Pollution Technique)

Difficulty: 3 stars

If it weren't for the fact that I just posted a request to deal with the Grand Guardian, Seele's request might have gotten 4 stars.

But there's not much difference.

Even after reaching 4 stars, the cost is generally fixed at around 1000 Primogems.

888+345 is greater than 1000.

As long as the reward wasn't reduced, that's good.

In any case, these two commissions can be completed simultaneously.

Renovation progress: 1%

Because Seele wants the lower zone to surpass the upper zone, the lower zone needs to surpass the upper zone in more than half of the aspects.

And now, some have already surpassed that.

For example... in the medical field.

Of the four doctors who remained at Natasha's clinic, one had already purchased the B-grade talent, Butterfly Transformation.

No matter how skilled the doctors in the upper tiers are, can they directly reattach a severed arm?
