Their commission was suspicious.

However, Chen Luo quite likes Xiao Xi'er. After all, if Xiao Xi'er hadn't been injured and turned into Da Xi'er, Chen Luo and Xiao Xi'er would probably have had a lot of fun.

At least Chen Luo will have a lot of fun.

Chen Luo likes to discipline naughty children.

"Keep eating the lollipop, it tastes good, doesn't it? Oh, by the way, the next class starts in 10 minutes, do you want to try another class?" Chen Luo said before Xi'er could take out the lollipop and throw it away.

"No, no need. One class is enough. I'm definitely not cut out for school." Seele quickly shook her head.

The last class was already enough to wear Chen Luo out; if they continued for a while, Xi'er was afraid she would completely ruin him.

"Don't say that. Some people are born to learn, and some are born to fight. When you were little, you only had no desire to learn because you knew that I could help you acquire knowledge. But you really don't need to stay in elementary school forever. Let's go back to Natasha's clinic."

Although Chen Luo didn't think it was a big deal, Xi'er didn't seem to want to mention her "excellent" performance in class.

After all, it's not something to be proud of for an adult to be outdone by a child in a primary school classroom after growing up.

……

"Hmm? What's wrong with Seele?" Although Seele didn't show any signs of distress on the surface, Natasha, who knew Seele very well, immediately noticed that Seele seemed to be in a different state than before.

"It's nothing. I just showed her a classroom in a lower-level school, so Xi'er probably got some insights. But the bad news is that there are really too few students. Is the publicity not enough?" Chen Luo said, stroking his chin.

“You’ve only been in the Lower City for a few days. It will take time for the Lower City to accept you, and some kids are helping their parents, so they might not be able to go. There are all sorts of reasons, but you can ask Di Huo to help you promote it,” Sang Bo said.

"You actually came back? I thought you were going to be locked up for decades." Chen Luo glanced at Sang Bo.

"So, you reported me under these circumstances? That's outrageous! You not only stole the reward money, but you also tried to cheat me!"

"So how long is the sentence the people in the Upper City have set for you?" Chen Luo asked curiously.

"I felt like I could be locked up until I died, but I didn't hear exactly how many years, before I escaped." Sangbo shook his head.

"Regarding the student numbers, I'll have Earthfire help out, and they can also go to places like the wanderer's camp to spread the word. The current low student population is probably due to insufficient promotion. But anyway, thank you for providing the teaching staff. The school is a good thing," Natasha said.

"When expressing gratitude, one should show... never mind, never mind what I said. What I meant was that the resources I can provide to the lower city are limited. Because I cannot allow the people of the lower city to become dependent on me, which would be fatal for a civilization. Therefore, I will cease providing aid to the lower city in 5 days."

"But during this period, I will have my people gradually transfer schools, factories, production lines, crop cultivation techniques, and so on to the people in the lower city."

"However, the person chosen to take over the high-tech products through the consumption of memory bread needs to be decided by your people in the lower city."

Chen Luo glanced at the 90% completion rate of the urban renewal project in the lower district and said.

With the combined power of the entire pre-civilization's Fire-Chasing Moths helping the people in the lower tiers, reaching this level in two or three days wouldn't be difficult.

If the structure of the lower level area allowed, Chen Luo would have moved the nuclear power plant to the lower level long ago, which would have accelerated the renovation process.

“It seems you’re only a few steps away from achieving your goal.” Sangbo glanced at Chen Luo and then at Natasha.

Sambo hadn't forgotten that Chen Luo had said he was helping the lower-level district in order to woo Natasha.

Although it may seem like an excuse now, an excuse can be "transformed" into intelligence.

"Lend your auspicious words."

"Ding dong!"

"Cousin, do you have any more Poké Balls? Give me a few more." Haruhi Suzumiya said to Chen Luo as she ran into Natasha's clinic.

"Didn't I give you a Poké Ball?"

This was a prop that Chen Luo casually tossed to Haruhi Suzumiya, intending to see if Haruhi could have a chemical reaction with it.

Chen Luo's original words at the time were: This is a more magical Poké Ball than a regular Poké Ball; you might need it.

"It's completely full. You know what, cousin, this Poké Ball can actually catch those Boundary Monsters, and the success rate is 100%! It's just that the capacity of this Poké Ball isn't enough; one Poké Ball can only catch a maximum of 10 Boundary Monsters."

"How much?" Chen Luo was taken aback.

"Ten of them." Haruhi Suzumiya took out her Poké Balls.

"Doesn't the [10] on this Poké Ball mean that I can catch a maximum of 10?" Haruhi Suzumiya said, pointing to the number on the Poké Ball in her hand.

Since it's a Poké Ball that's even more magical than a regular Poké Ball, wouldn't it be reasonable for it to hold more Pokémon?

“…That’s right, that’s common sense.” Chen Luo thought for a moment and nodded subtly.

But actually, that "[10]" refers to ball number 10, not the ability to catch 10 balls. Chen Luo hadn't expected Haruhi Suzumiya to understand it that way.

How do you fit 10 monsters into one Poké Ball?

And can Poké Balls, which were originally used to store Honkai Beasts, actually catch Rift Monsters?

That's right, Chen Luo was just fooling Haruhi Suzumiya. He wanted to see just how special Haruhi Suzumiya's "specialness" really was.

However, Chen Luo also arranged for three S-rank assassins to act as bodyguards for Haruhi Suzumiya, ensuring her safety.

In retrospect, it's fortunate that Chen Luo gave Haruhi Suzumiya the number 10 ball.

Although these Poké Balls are of little use to Chen Luo, since he can capture and enslave monsters from the Rift Realm himself, at least they give Haruhi Suzumiya something to do in this world and allow her to have some peace and quiet.

And this is a good start...

[Because this is "common sense" for Haruhi Suzumiya, this item can capture so many Rift Realm monsters.]

The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya is truly terrifying!

No wonder her sister and Chen Luo said that Haruhi Suzumiya could be used as a tool...

This tool is so useful!

[Actually, you can do it too, as long as you're willing to spend the raw gems.]

Just kidding, why should I spend Primogems on a tool I got for free through my own abilities?

【…】

Looking at the Poké Ball filled with ten Rift Monsters and Haruhi Suzumiya asking for a Poké Ball, Chen Luo gradually came up with a formula in his mind:

[Persuasion] + [Haruhi Suzumiya] = [Wishing Machine]

Is it possible that others see you this way too?

"Can they be the same? Haruhi Suzumiya is a real wish-granting machine, while I just know a few more things."

Well, let's just say that's how it is.

Chapter 1451 [60% Off Full Subscription] Special Abyss Gold Coins Become Bar Currency

"One person can only bring a maximum of 6 Poké Balls? Hmm, I understand."

"Want to return the extra Poké Balls to you? No problem! But you're Professor Oak, aren't you?"

"They can only bring a maximum of 6 Pokémon with Poké Balls, but I can bring 60 Rift Monsters. Wouldn't that just be a free kill?"

"Fortunately, the Poké Balls allow the Rift Monsters to slowly recover their health; otherwise, after a long battle, we might have lost several of these Pokémon!"

Seeing Haruhi Suzumiya with six Poké Balls on her belt, preparing to collect her Pokémon, Chen Luo gave her some instructions.

"These Poké Balls can only be used in this world. Remember to put the Poké Balls in the bar when you return to your own world, otherwise you won't be able to get back."

"Know it!"

That being said, although Chen Luo entrusted Haruhi Suzumiya with many things, the Poké Ball was actually just a Poké Ball in appearance. It was originally used to imprison Chen Luo's humanized Honkai Beasts, so it had neither the ability to capture nor the ability to heal.

All I can say is that Haruhi Suzumiya is indeed terrifying, or perhaps she has a lot of prestige...

[Haruhi Suzumiya didn't change that gadget solely through her own abilities and special circumstances. While those factors certainly played a part, she relied more on her colleagues' favors.]

If Haruhi Suzumiya were to modify the Poké Ball herself, she might not have been able to do it so perfectly. But since everyone is part of the same world consciousness, they will inevitably visit each other in the future. So as long as Haruhi Suzumiya doesn't go too far, Haruhi Suzumiya's "common sense" can be achieved.

From this theoretical perspective, it's fine to ask Haruhi Suzumiya for a small favor, but it's completely unnecessary to make her work as an assembly line worker.

After all, this Poké Ball was useless to Chen Luo; it could only be used as a little diversion in his life.

That being said, Haruhi Suzumiya's potential is still quite high. After all, for the world as a whole, everything else is trivial unless it concerns the entire world.

While user-friendly plugins often backfire, the fault doesn't lie with the plugins themselves.

In the case of Haruhi Suzumiya, some subtle human-centered elements can still be seen.

For example, the unique "logic" of Haruhi Suzumiya's special characteristics when they are brought into play—another kind of "power of my own thinking".

According to the humanized plugin, this logic is very practical and analytical, and may help Chen Luo in the future. Therefore, the humanized plugin has always focused its attention on Haruhi Suzumiya, and only maintains some computing functions on Chen Luo, so as to ensure that Chen Luo will never have any problems.

"At the latest by tomorrow, I can help you acquire a special energy hub. Energy is very important, especially for more advanced energy utilization methods. But I have other matters to attend to now, so I'll be going now."

The more advanced the energy utilization method, the more time is allocated to the transformation of the lower-level areas.

The final straw that breaks the camel's back may well be energy.

The goal of a lower-level region surpassing an upper-level region is not to surpass it in every aspect. However, if a particular achievement is outstanding, the level of civilization will be greatly enhanced. For example, one of the most important things for a civilization is energy.

"Goodbye." Natasha and Seele watched Chen Luo leave.

[Of course, the most important thing is that energy is replicable, and there are low-end alternatives. You're here to help the lower districts develop, not to help them crush the upper districts. The one who's wrong is Cocolia's thinking, not the people in the upper districts.]

"really."

As an outsider, Chen Luo couldn't judge the relationship between the lower and upper districts, but people in the lower district had relatives living in the upper district, and people in the upper district also had relatives living in the lower district.

Initially, there was no clear boundary between the upper and lower zones. The people who came to the lower zone were not necessarily poor; they were mostly there voluntarily to develop the earth marrow in order to maintain the continuation of civilization.

Fortunately, although the upper and lower districts have been cut off from each other for more than a decade, it has only been a decade or so, and the resentment has not accumulated to the point of a life-or-death struggle.

Chen Luo was just an outsider.

Wendy once said: Let the people in the upper and lower districts handle the things in the upper and lower districts.

What Chen Luo needs to do now is...

"Smack!" Chen Luo flicked Yakumo Yukari's forehead.

It was just to take advantage of Yukari Yakumo while she was playing a game.

While Yakumo Yukari was taking off her gaming helmet, Chen Luo immediately moved away from her.

"Ouch! Chen Luo, what are you doing?"

"I'm telling you to go to Gensokyo and summon the golden Gensokyo, but you've been playing games the whole time."

"..." Yakumo Yukari suspected that Chen Luo was taking advantage of her, but she had no evidence.

Damn it, there's no way to get that flick on the head back now.

There was no other way; we needed Chen Luo's help right now.

Since he couldn't beat them in a fight and they needed his help, they had no choice but to back down.

Are you two children? You get hit and then you hit back.

"Mind your own business, you're less than a month old, it's a 17-year-old's business."

【…】

Chen Luo and Yakumo Yukari are both 17 years old, the difference is that one is truly 17 years old, and the other is 17 years and N months old.

"Yukari Yakumo, I know you want to hit me, but please look at the distant Gensokyo."

"Tch! Chen Luo, you despicable scoundrel!"

"Hehe, I'm still a child, would you really hit me?"

"Willing to give it up!"

"Family members, look at Gensokyo in the distance."

"Gan!"

"Alright, hurry up and leave. I'm doing this for you, aren't I? What's wrong with letting me have my way?" Chen Luo floated to the bar door and then pushed open the door leading to Gensokyo.

"Just wait and see, fortunes change every thirty years, don't underestimate the young and weak."

"Young demon? Ha." Chen Luo sneered and entered Gensokyo first.

"Once you've finished setting up Gensokyo, I'll smash your head in!" Yakumo Yukari said slyly, following behind Chen Luo.

“I can hear you.”

"I know, I'm just saying this for you."

Yukari Yakumo and Chen Luo signed an agreement to ensure that Chen Luo would not cancel the summoning of Gensokyo Gold and Silver after creating a copy of Gensokyo Gold and Silver for Yukari Yakumo. Moreover, the contract was signed using the Book of Contracts.

It took a lot of Yakumo Yukari's demonic power and precious items to fill the Book of Contracts' belly.

Yukari Yakumo understands that the higher the quality of the food consumed by the Book of Contracts, the stronger its binding force, and that no one can violate it, including Chen Luo. That's why Yukari Yakumo is so at ease letting Chen Luo help her replicate Gensokyo.
