Their commission was suspicious.

"Sell your talent? Chen Luo, are you crazy?" Xiao Jiu was stunned for a moment.

“Of course not. You should know about puppetization, right? And the group networks you all use all the time. After being enhanced, this ability can now grant you talents without causing uncontrollable soul puppetization,” Chen Luo said.

"So that's why you're happy? But if you're going to sell me your talent, forget it. I don't need one or two more S-rank talents right now." Xiao Jiu shook her head.

In fact, the phenomenon of acquiring other people's talents has occurred countless times throughout history.

It is indeed possible to acquire someone else's innate spiritual roots or even special physique through a method similar to possession, but the side effects are significant. Someone like Xiao Jiu, who has already established a fixed Dao foundation, would definitely not do it.

While Chen Luo's ability to directly sell talent is indeed convenient enough, it is useless to Xiao Jiu.

Only those with low-level talents are interested in increasing the number of their talents; those with high-level talents only want to raise the level of their talents as much as possible before their souls are filled with talents.

After all, the capacity of a person's soul is limited.

The situation where Chen Luo increases the amount of talent more frequently than eating three meals a day is not considered.

“If you’re not interested in S-rank or lower talents, SS-rank isn’t out of the question.” Chen Luo gritted his teeth.

"Huh?" Xiao Jiu was genuinely surprised this time.

"Are you planning to unleash your Herrscher of Knowledge powers?"

“Of course not, but I have a special talent that can randomly replace myself and my other talents with any other talent. If I’m lucky, I might even get a time-related talent,” Chen Luo said.

Chen Luo had no intention of handing over the Herrscher of Knowledge talent to anyone.

"You have this kind of talent? You've got all sorts of weird and wonderful talents. Tell me, what do you want from me?" Xiao Jiu crossed her arms, already prepared for Chen Luo to make an outrageous demand.

"10 special abyss gold coins. And that can only be exchanged for one temporary SS-grade talent skill book," Chen Luo said.

"10? Why don't you just rob someone? I only have less than 1 on me right now." Xiao Jiu's eyes widened.

"Do you think crafting skill books is simple? Downloading talents from the mass network doesn't require many resources, but converting them into skill books requires a lot of resources, and those resources are unique to the mass network. Crafting even a temporary SS-level talent skill book has drained me dry."

That's right, Chen Luo was referring to [experience], or rather, soul-type energy.

Actually, either soulfire or a real soul will do; both can be used to create talent books and skill books. This is because talents themselves are related to the soul.

Instead, creating ordinary magic skill books only requires magic power.

However, Chen Luo doesn't have many Soul Fires to begin with, and the only soul-type energy he can obtain in large quantities is the more expensive [Experience].

Chen Luo couldn't possibly kill off a lot of A-level talent users and extract their souls to make SS-level talent skill books, could he?

Before he could acquire large quantities of soul-type resources, Chen Luo could only use [experience] as a substitute for the raw materials needed to create talent books.

"But I really don't have 10 gold coins. How about you exchange them for something else? Like a divine artifact or something?" Xiao Jiu asked.

Do I look like someone who lacks what you're talking about? Or do you think I'm lacking props?

Xiao Jiu instantly thought of Chen Luo's Friendship Revolver and a whole bunch of strange props, then shook her head.

Chen Luo's props were indeed more abundant and more magical than his own.

"However, if you really don't have enough Abyss Coins, you can exchange your knowledge or even talents for Abyss Coins by uploading them to the community network."

"So you were waiting here, kid?" Xiao Jiu sneered.

“But it’s not impossible…” But then Xiao Jiu changed her tone.

Although it can be awkward to see others with the same talents as her, Xiao Jiu is confident enough to ensure that even if others have the same talents as her, they are no match for her.

Compared to this psychological discomfort, the real-world experience of the improvements brought by other SS-level time-related talents was far more tempting to Xiao Jiu.

Moreover, Xiao Jiu has quite a bit of knowledge. At worst, Xiao Jiu can exchange her knowledge for gold coins; she doesn't necessarily have to exchange her talent for them.

This deal is a great one!

"Oh, by the way, this shop does not accept any type of talent above S-rank at the moment."

"why?"

"Because it can't be contained."

"Tch, so this is all the talent you have?" Xiao Jiu sneered.

"Heh, that's because I've already registered an SS-level talent," Chen Luo said.

The simulated innovation diagram that Chen Luo possesses is of unknown origin.

After being promoted to SSS-level talent, the new Domination talent already had the ability to accommodate SS-level talents, so Chen Luo immediately recorded this talent into it.

In a sense, once Chen Luo possessed this talent that could be transformed into other talents, his social network would never lack new talents.

"There are also special Abyss Gold Coins that need a name change. How about calling them Paradise Gold Coins? Hmm, that's a pretty nice name."

Why is it called Paradise Coin?

"Because don't you think my doll world really resembles Eternal Paradise? And doll coins sound a bit strange."

"So the special Abyss Coins were discontinued?"

“Of course not. You can come here and exchange them for Paradise Gold Coins. The purchasing power will remain the same,” Chen Luo said.

"That's good..." Xiao Jiu was quite afraid that the gold coins she had painstakingly saved would suddenly become useless.

"So you're going to sell knowledge now?"

"No." Xiao Jiu shook her head.

Xiao Jiu dares not sell knowledge now, otherwise her true identity as a person from the spiritual plane would be exposed.

Xiao Jiu was still thinking about her persona as a powerful figure in a subordinate dimension of the Abyss Plane.

"We'll talk about this later," Xiao Jiu said.

"Heh." Chen Luo sneered.

Are you still clinging to that weird persona you've created?

Have you ever considered that people outside of the spiritual plane and the abyss plane actually don't have any "talent"?

Talent is actually a product unique to the spiritual plane.

Other worlds' abilities, such as Herrscher powers, shouldn't be called talents either. They're just collectively referred to as talents for the sake of statistics and to make it easier for Chen Luo to purchase them.

In the end, everything will be conceptualized anyway, so whether it's "talent" or not doesn't really make a difference.

Despite having a way to obtain Paradise Coins, Xiao Jiu has fallen into a vicious cycle where she can't get any.

Because their identities cannot be revealed, they cannot exchange knowledge for Paradise Coins.

Once Xiao Jiu's identity is revealed, which is when the Heavenly Laws are promulgated, she may not need gold coins as much.

"Um...cousin, can I use that skill book?" Haruhi Suzumiya asked eagerly and excitedly.

"I always feel like using special abilities would be really cool!"

"..."

Haruhi Suzumiya, you might not believe it, but you're way more handsome than those gifted individuals.

[Ding! You have a new request!]

【No, no, no】: 400 raw gems

"It's a pity, but it won't work," Chen Luo shook his head and refused.

[Ding! Mission complete]

The tree behind Haruhi Suzumiya was shaking its head so hard it could practically be used as an electric fan.

It is precisely because Haruhi Suzumiya is bound by common sense that the world is still safe and sound. If Haruhi Suzumiya were to realize that she has superhuman powers, the whole world would be doomed!

"The soul capacity of ordinary people is insufficient. The world you live in is an ordinary world, so you cannot possess special abilities. This is common sense."

"You can learn skill books to increase your knowledge level and learn abilities that humans can learn, such as stealth, tailoring, and puppetry, but you can't use talent skill books," Chen Luo said.

Even if Koizumi Itsuki, Haruhi Suzumiya's good friend, hadn't betrayed her, Chen Luo wouldn't have given Haruhi Suzumiya the opportunity to become a gifted individual.

The thought of that scene is terrifying.

"Huh? A regular skill book? I'm not interested." Haruhi Suzumiya said disappointedly.

"However, I can lend you some special items. Your cousin is also an item-based player."

“Okay, okay!” Haruhi Suzumiya nodded quickly.

Chen Luo does lend Haruhi Suzumiya some items, but whether they're special or not is hard to say.

Who knows, a regular water gun might turn into a shotgun when it's brought back.

Chen Luo is Doraemon, but Haruhi Suzumiya is the 4-dimensional pocket.

Although the effect is definitely not as good as random items, getting something for free is so much better.

Anyway, Haruhi Suzumiya's sister had already told Chen Luo to treat Haruhi Suzumiya as a tool, and as long as she wasn't exhausted, there wouldn't be any problems.

"So, cousin, do you have anything interesting left? Lend me a few props." Haruhi Suzumiya unceremoniously stretched out her hand to Chen Luo.

Because of the God-Slaying Whip, Haruhi Suzumiya has always been quite obedient, but now it's clear that Haruhi Suzumiya is still the same Haruhi Suzumiya, only she usually doesn't dare to act recklessly because she's intimidated by Chen Luo's tyranny.

He's still quite self-centered, but at least he knows how to listen to others now.

"Here you go, a super shotgun water gun!" Chen Luo handed a water gun to Haruhi Suzumiya.

"You can try it at a bar. This thing is impressive and extremely powerful. It also has a very high water capacity; a five-minute flush provides two hours of use!" Chen Luo said.

"Bang!" Haruhi Suzumiya excitedly pulled the trigger.

A huge splash of water erupted in front of Haruhi Suzumiya, causing massive splash damage to the two squares in front of her and the five squares to her left and right.

At least that's how Haruhi Suzumiya saw it.

Since it's forbidden to hurt each other in a bar, Haruhi Suzumiya had no way of knowing the power of the water gun and could only take Chen Luo's words as the truth.

After all, what bad intentions could Chen Luo possibly have?

However, in reality, this water gun is just a showy tool with no real lethality. It's just a Type II prop, only suitable for water fights in the summer.

The main reason it was able to be promoted to a two-star item is because its water storage capacity is truly enormous.

Chen Luo was eager to see what kind of effect the water gun would have in Haruhi Suzumiya's hands.

Even though the super-powerful water shotgun was useless to Chen Luo, at least it was fun.

"Cousin, is there anything else good? There are five of us here, we need at least one piece of equipment for each person," Haruhi Suzumiya said.

"Hmm... since there are five of you, let's form a team. This is a healing staff, it can heal, but it only has one healing spell, so it's suitable for healers. This is a super shield, it's for absorbing damage, so it's suitable for the main tank. This is a staff, it has two constant spells, one is fireball and the other is ice spike, but the more mental energy it consumes, the more powerful it becomes, so it's suitable for mages. This is a bell, shaking the bell can increase the attack power of teammates and has a chance to stun enemies, so it's suitable for supports."

"Alright, take these five items. Now you have a shield, a healer, a support, a DPS, and a mage. You're a fully-fledged adventure team. But remember, wait until we get to the other world before distributing these items to the others," Chen Luo instructed Haruhi Suzumiya.

Unlike Haruhi Suzumiya's water gun, the other things Chen Luo pulled out did have some effect, but not as exaggerated as Chen Luo claimed.

Chapter 1472 The Star Destroyer Gifted by the Rich Young Lady

"Wow!"

"Looks amazing!"

"But I guess I'll just use a water gun."

Actually, even without Chen Luo's instructions, Haruhi Suzumiya had no intention of distributing the equipment to others.

After all, it has to wait until Haruhi Suzumiya has chosen before it can be given to someone else.

As the leader of the SOS Brigade, isn't it reasonable for him to have the authority to allocate resources?

"I'll use the water gun. Asahina, you're old enough to be the healer. Nagato, you'll be the mage, Koizumi, you'll be the main tank, and Kyon, just stay behind me and boost my attack power!" Haruhi Suzumiya quickly assigned the team composition.

It seems quite reasonable.

Chen Luo, watching from the side, was pleased with the power of the five props he had temporarily lent out.

As expected, Haruhi Suzumiya was able to fully utilize her initiative to enhance the power of the items.

Originally, all five items were three-star except for Haruhi Suzumiya, which was two-star. However, after Haruhi Suzumiya's upgrade, they all became four-star.

This is probably the upper limit that the world allows, right?

I find the power of thought terrifying, even more outrageous than the Law of Reason.

It's just that Haruhi Suzumiya was bound by common sense; otherwise, her strength would have been unparalleled long ago.

Let's see if group networks can replicate these items in bulk.
