Their commission was suspicious.

"What's outside this world? There's the Dimensional Sea." Luo Li's tone on the phone sounded as if she didn't understand why Chen Luo would ask such a silly question.

"...Then tell me, what's in the Dimensional Sea? I've never been to the Dimensional Sea, how would I know what's there?" Chen Luo said helplessly.

At Xiao Jiu's insistence, Chen Luo asked his mother about it.

"Oh...that's true. Since you're curious, I'll tell you. The so-called Dimensional Sea is a general term for places outside the world. You can think of this vast universe as a river with countless grains of sand in it, and these grains of sand are individual worlds...this is actually the concept of the 'Worlds of Countless Sands,' and it's indeed true. Those who can leave this world and reach other worlds through certain special means are called 'Boundary Breakers.' Of course, this is like a rare title for players; it doesn't represent a level of strength, only a qualification."

“Strictly speaking, all those bottles and jars in our house can be considered boundary breakers, because they have transcended their original worlds and come to other worlds. However, they are not stable, so they can only be considered half.”

"Well... the Breaker is pretty cheap, huh?" Chen Luo remarked.

I never expected that Chen Luo's family already had so many boundary breakers.

"These things are just a matter of probability, so don't worry about them. And what seems like chaos outside the world is actually a territory even larger than the world itself. Anything can happen outside the world... Think of it this way: that abyss passage is basically a low-budget version of the dimensional sea. You've been to the abyss passage, haven't you?"

"I've been there, and I've encountered a lot of strange and unusual things."

"That's about right. But actually, there's not much to explore in the Dimensional Sea. The moment you actually go to explore the Dimensional Sea, it means you've reached your limit in terms of resources in this world. But Xiao Luo, with your talent... I think that for you, the wealth within this world is greater and more important than the wealth outside of it," Luo Li advised Chen Luo.

You have a fortune of hundreds of millions that you can inherit slowly, so why do you want to deliver food?

In Luo Li's understanding, that's how things are.

As for wishes, your parents have already collected all the wishes in the Dimensional Sea, which is why you exist. For others, having their wishes collected once might not have much of an impact; the Dimensional Sea is still a place containing countless treasures.

But for Chen Luo, there was really nothing left to explore in the Dimensional Sea, which he had already collected once.

While wishes are like leeks—you can keep harvesting them—a large-scale set of wishes still needs time to grow.

Conversely, within the world, with the help of understanding the plot and the Book of Akasha (which can be used for spoilers in worlds where there is no corresponding work on Earth), Chen Luo can grow faster. However, outside of that world, the Book of Akasha becomes useless.

Luo Li found it hard to believe that someone would choose the hardest difficulty in a game instead of the normal or easy difficulty... although Luo Li usually chose the hellish difficulty.

To be honest, copying homework is really satisfying, especially when the levels are full of all sorts of troublemakers. Copying homework is definitely better for your mental and physical health.

“That’s true…” Chen Luo did not refute his mother’s point of view.

Although Chen Luo was very curious about the world beyond, once that veil was lifted, he lost interest.

Think about it carefully, what does Chen Luo need from outside this world?

Chen Luo has never even seen anything beyond this world, so why would he want something?

If there's nothing you want, why go?

If you have time, go explore other story worlds to collect some Primogems, buy some talents, and draw some cards. Wouldn't that bring you all sorts of resources?

Chen Luo now needs props, he needs abilities, what else does he need?

Unless the dimensional sea is filled with raw gems!

Otherwise, wouldn't the rewards be much greater for completing quests like the Endless August or resolving the God of War's challenges?

The former, in particular, only needed to say a few words according to the script to obtain more than 3000 Primogems.

Thinking about it this way, Chen Luo didn't seem to be that curious about the Dimensional Sea anymore.

After all, Chen Luo still hasn't used up all the three- and four-star byproducts he got from drawing six-star talents and items, so there's no need for him to expand his storage again.

Even a two-star item, after being enhanced by the River God's power, would be at least a four-star item.

"So, Mom and Dad, you two have already crossed the Dimensional Sea, right? What world are you in? Do you need your son to come and help you?" After temporarily putting aside his curiosity about the Dimensional Sea, Chen Luo began to inquire about his parents' specific situation.

“There’s no need for that. The main problem is that we don’t know which world this is, and you wouldn’t hear us if we said the code name… Besides, you don’t have a vessel to carry you here. But it’s not a big problem. For your parents, the problems here can be easily solved. Just think of it as a vacation. Your dad and I will go back after the vacation, no later than the 15th of August, which is your birthday,” Luo Li said.

"Besides, your dad and I had a lot of fun here. The owner was really hospitable to us. Considering how helpful she was, I think I should at least try to match the owner with the boy she likes... Oh, I've said too much. Xiao Luo, is there anything else? If not, I'm going to go have some fun."

Luo Li made this call simply to let her son know she was safe.

Although nothing could possibly endanger her and her husband, this had become an unspoken agreement between Luo Li and her husband and Chen Luo.

Otherwise, Chen Luo would really worry about his parents.

Because Chen Luo had done something like waiting by the phone for his parents to call back.

Sigh, it's a happy kind of trouble that kids care so much about their parents.

"Everything's alright now, but where's my dad?"

"He was dragged out to fight. Oh, by the way, speaking of which, Xiao Luo, if you're interested in swordsmanship, you can look in my and your dad's bedroom. There should be a sword-practicing manual on the left bedside table. It's your family's heirloom... although even your dad doesn't know it very well."

"A family secret recipe that even my dad barely knows? What's my dad doing? He can just give up this kind of traditional skill?"

"...Before you talk about your dad, shouldn't you think about yourself?" Luo Li said with a smile.

The pot calling the kettle black is an example of the pot calling the kettle black.

Chen Heng at least practiced swordsmanship from a young age, while Chen Luo had never even touched a sword since childhood.

"Actually, your dad doesn't know much about our family's sword technique because it's a little bit profound. Although your dad doesn't know much, it's enough for him to beat up a lot of people," Luo Li said.

If the maximum proficiency level of the Chen family's traditional sword technique is 100, then Chen Heng's proficiency level is at most 40.

But sorry, even at level 40, you can still give the middle finger to everyone in the max-level (level 10) main world.

I can say I'm bad, but you can't really think I'm bad.

"Should I still learn it?" Chen Luo asked his mother, somewhat troubled.

Chen Luo felt that his Taixu Sword God was actually enough.

After all, Chen Luo is a player who relies on items.

"I can say it's possible, but there's no real need for it. After all, your puppeteer profession isn't much worse than a swordsman's. The difference is that one is melee combat and the other is a mage. If you really want to learn, there is a method for controlling a sword in that manual. You can use that method to borrow the power of the Xuanyuan Sword in our living room and unleash your Taixu Sword God. The power should be quite good."

"Wait, wait, wait, there's so much information, I'm a bit confused. How did you know I'm a puppeteer? Did I mention that? And things like the Void Sword God..."

“Oh, this? It’s from the World Consciousness report. I do work for it, and it keeps an eye on you for me. Isn’t that a normal transaction? As for the puppeteer profession… Xiao Luo, you might have forgotten, but when you were little, you had your first birthday celebration where you chose a doll as the result. So I asked the World Consciousness to help you get the puppeteer profession.” Luo Li said on the phone.

"...So the reason the world consciousness is watching me so closely is because of you, Mom? And you're the one who planted that doll as a side quest for the professional certificate?" Chen Luo suddenly realized.

"Don't blame me. Blame the world consciousness. Don't blame me."

"I'm not blaming you, how could I dare to blame my great mother? Speaking of which, since my dad is skilled in swordsmanship and alchemy, what are you skilled in, Mom?" Chen Luo asked curiously.

"What? You also think our family's sword technique is trash? What a coincidence, I think so too."

Luo Li had long been annoyed by that lousy sword technique!

Chen Luo wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but he vaguely felt that his mother seemed to have become a little more excited.

"If you're interested in my cultivation method, Luo, go to the bedside table on the right. There you'll find the method of proving the Dao through evil. Of course, I don't cultivate that. I cultivate time. That method of proving the Dao through evil is a reward from the world's consciousness," Luo Li added, seemingly having thought of something.

"Hehe." Upon hearing that it was a time-related cultivation method, Xiao Jiu couldn't help but raise her head.

I, Xiao Jiu, am a pioneer of the Great Way of Time in this world.

No matter how capable you, Chen Luo, are, your mother is still my successor.

According to seniority, Chen Luo, you should call me senior.

"To prove the Dao through killing?"

"It's about proving your Dao through killing... although there's not much difference. When you cultivate using this method, you'll gain a portion of your enemy's ability points after defeating them," Luo Li corrected.

"...No need. Actually, my talent also drops rewards after defeating enemies." Chen Luo refused this cultivation method.

After all, if Chen Luo were truly interested in killing, he would probably have even more spoils by now.

For example, defeating Yukari Yakumo might grant you her talent.

But wouldn't it be even better to fulfill Yukari Yakumo's wish, gain her talent, and obtain Primogems at the same time?

"Talent... No wonder he's my son, just like me," Luo Li said with considerable satisfaction.

"Let's talk about time abilities. Actually, I have a friend who's pretty good at time abilities too. Mom, do you want to talk to her?" Chen Luo glanced at Xiao Jiu next to him.

Although Chen Luo was reluctant to admit it, Xiao Jiu was indeed a pioneer of the Great Dao of Time.

In order to boost his mother's combat power, Chen Luo wouldn't mind switching identities with Xiao Jiu—Chen Luo would become the one who acts spoiled.

"Hmph!" Upon hearing this, Xiao Jiu almost tilted her nose to the sky.

Xiao Jiu tossed Chen Luo's nonsensical conch shell aside, sat down casually in his seat, and acted like a big shot.

"A time-manipulation user? Not interested."

"But they're really strong..."

“I’m not interested in that either. But if you’re interested, Xiao Luo, you can go to the bedside table on the right and get an item, which is also a reward from the world consciousness. Let me think about the effect… It seems that if you are dissatisfied with the future you are in now, you can use that item to take the whole world back to a specific time, and then you can enter another timeline according to your own choices.”

"However, the side effects are also quite significant. It will sever the past of all time-based cultivators in the current world, directly shattering the river of time in the current world. This will prevent time-based cultivators from borrowing power from the past. Without the past, the power of the laws of time can be said to be at least half crippled."

"...Really?"

"Why would I lie to you? The things the World Consciousness gave me are really fake? But the conditions for using them are actually quite strict..."

Hearing this, Xiao Jiu, who had almost lost her composure, breathed a sigh of relief.

Has the world consciousness gone mad?

Why give your proxy such a dangerous thing?

Or are the agents actually a group of item-based players?

"How demanding are they?" Chen Luo asked curiously.

"First, you need to have a high degree of time adaptability. Second, you need to really want to change something, or others want to change something. Finally, and most importantly, you need at least one high-level time-related item."

"Your mom does meet the requirements, since there's no strength requirement to use this item, and I can gather all the necessary world consciousnesses. But I'm not that vengeful; your dad and I have a great relationship, so I've never used this thing. You can't use it either, but you can scare your friend, and then you can do whatever you want to your friend!"

"Oh no!" Upon hearing these three requests, Xiao Jiu was completely stunned.

Chen Luo possesses time adaptability; he can even manipulate the river of time.

There are also people who want to change things, like Yvette.

And time-related high-level items... whether it's the [Endless August] trial card or the Monthly Clock... they all seem to count, right?

Although the idea of ​​severing the river of time and creating a time chasm that prevents time from flowing backward sounds a bit fantastical, aren't all the props Chen Luo brought out fantastical?

Moreover, this is a prop used by the proxy, given by the world consciousness... The authenticity seems, possibly, probably, perhaps... a bit high?

Xiao Jiu silently stood up, then used the chair to pick up the magic conch shell, wiped it with her sleeve, and hugged it to her chest, looking pitifully at Chen Luo.

“…Little guy, you actually have two faces.” Chen Luo pinched Xiao Jiu’s little face.

"But I still prefer your defiant attitude from just now."

Chapter 1427 Little Nine Wants to Become an Agent

"Alright, I won't go back to the past, otherwise all these years of commissions would have been for nothing, right?" Chen Luo comforted Xiao Jiu after patting her head.

"Uh, Xiao Luo, don't tell me your friend was listening in right there."

"That's right, I didn't have time to say it just now," Chen Luo said, suppressing a laugh.

"It seems that threatening your friend on your behalf isn't a very reliable idea," Luo Li sighed on the other end of the phone.

"..."

No, Xiao Jiu felt even more threatened.

Chen Luo's mother didn't know, but Xiao Jiu knew that Chen Luo met all the requirements.

Although Xiao Jiu also understood that Chen Luo wouldn't do such a thing, what if, what if Chen Luo couldn't resist the temptation and tried to trick Yvette into making a wish, and then Yvette found out about it, and Yvette wanted to go to another timeline?

Xiao Jiu figured it out: Yvette seemed to be having a great time with Chen Luo in another timeline.

Xiao Jiu was completely numb; only the world where Xiao Jiu was injured was complete.

"However, Xiao Luo, you might be wrong about something. The rewards you get after completing the mission should not disappear after you return to the past. After all, this is an EX-level talent, and it does have its special characteristics."

"But why would I bother blowing up the river of time if I had nothing better to do?" Chen Luo complained.

"That's fun. It can explode once per world. I haven't tried it yet..." Luo Li felt a little regretful.

Because Luo Li discovered that her counterpart in the other dimensional sea had been blown up.

Damn, I really want to try it...

"Don't harm so many time-manipulation cultivators just because it's fun. Time-manipulation cultivators also have human rights."

"Alright, alright, if you don't want it to explode, then don't. It's not like we're forcing you to. This thing is for risking your life, so it's better if you don't need it."

Hearing Luo Li's words, Chen Luo breathed a sigh of relief, but couldn't help but wonder if the Elliot in the Star Core Hunter's hands could see the future. If the Star Dome Railway world were to explode once... would that person still be able to see the future?
