Their commission was suspicious.

"Good girl, call me sister and you'll get candy." Xiao Shi approached the group of Rose Maidens, took out a piece of candy, and after thinking for a moment, took out five more pieces of candy.

"..."

Then the atmosphere suddenly went cold.

The armed puppets that almost completely covered Chen Luo's body all stared blankly at Xiao Shi without saying a word.

Xiao Shi felt a chill run down his spine as he was stared at by the six armed puppets, wondering what he had said wrong.

These Rozen Maidens are so adorable!

“This is the Herrscher of Knowledge, a member of this family. If you want some candy, please do so. Don’t be shy or embarrassed.” Chen Luo’s voice broke the silence.

"Remember to thank your sister when you take the candy," Chen Luo added.

"Thank you sister."

As a Rose Maiden created by Chen Luo himself, the Rose Dolls see Xiao Shi as a formidable enemy when they sense that Chen Luo's friendliness towards the girl in front of them far exceeds his affection for them.

However, now that they sensed Chen Luo's desire for everyone to live in peace, the Rose Maidens, who regarded Chen Luo's orders as essential laws of life, naturally showed their goodwill to Xiao Shi.

Xiao Shi breathed a sigh of relief after the Rozen Maidens accepted the candy and thanked her one by one.

Well, these rose dolls are actually quite cute.

"Father, have some." A cute doll dressed in a sweet pink Lolita outfit and with short blonde hair unwrapped a candy and put it to Chen Luo's mouth.

Rozen Maiden's 6th doll - Hinaichigo.

"You guys eat, and after you're done, hurry up and make breakfast, it's time to eat." Chen Luo smiled and ruffled Chu Mei's hair.

Are you kidding me? If you eat one rose doll candy, you have to eat the other five too. Who eats six candies first thing in the morning without eating breakfast?

"Wait a minute. If they call you Father and me Sister, wouldn't I be at a huge disadvantage in terms of seniority?" Xiao Shi suddenly had a flash of inspiration and discovered a key point.

"Then should I have them call you 'Auntie'?"

“…Never mind.” Xiao Shi refused.

Xiao Shi shook his head when he heard the term "auntie".

In fact, Chen Luo didn't think there was anything wrong with this seniority, after all, Xiao Shi's current status as his friend was the most special.

Chen Luo still doesn't dare to talk to Xiao Shi about this topic, otherwise... based on Chen Luo's understanding of Xiao Shi, if Xiao Shi knew that this relationship couldn't be changed, she would probably explode at the slightest provocation!

At present, it seems that Xiaoshi's 10% discount is the limit; it's unlikely that he'll give away the talent for free. Probably...

However, Chen Luo no longer needs to focus on acquiring more talents. Instead, he is exploring his existing SSS-level talents in depth... excluding new SSS-level talents.

As living beings created by the puppeteer, dolls will not rebel against the puppeteer unless there are special circumstances, such as harming the puppeteer. At least Chen Luo can make these little dolls sit obediently in their seats and wait for their meal.

After being released by the puppets, Chen Luo finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Mercury Lamp, why do you seem a little unhappy?" Xiao Shi glanced at the six Rose Maidens who were reluctantly leaving Chen Luo's body, then looked at Mercury Lamp sitting upright next to Chen Luo in the main seat and asked in a low voice.

Mercury Lamp glanced at Xiao Shi but didn't say anything more.

Suigintou doesn't actually dislike her sisters, as long as their presence doesn't distract her father from her attention.

Not long after Suigintou was created, she knew that the day would come when all seven Rozen Maidens would appear. Instead of completely resisting this moment, Suigintou actively sought to imprint her image in Chen Luo's heart.

It wasn't that the mercury lamp was particularly generous; rather, it was that the mercury lamp had no other choice.

If they were normal humans, even a father's own daughter would eventually leave her father and soar through the sky alone. But the relationship between a doll and its puppeteer is much purer.

If a doll loses its own puppeteer, it will have nothing.

Since Chen Luo wants a peaceful and loving Rozen Maiden, then naturally there will be a peaceful and loving Rozen Maiden, but...

Mercury Lamp believes it's important to distinguish who's the boss and who's the second-in-command.

"Xuehua Qijing, get off Father, it's time for breakfast." Suiyindeng raised her head slightly and looked at the only rose doll that hadn't left Chen Luo.

The seventh doll, Xuehua Qijing.

With her long, wavy, pinkish-white hair and the white rose that replaced her right eye, this rose doll exudes a morbid beauty.

"Big sister, I don't have a physical body, so I can't eat. I'll just have to accept it and absorb Father's essence." Xuehua Qijing looked at Suigintou with a wronged expression, then gently licked Chen Luo's face.

As Chen Luo's last puppet, Xuehua Qijing could have actually had a physical form... but because Chen Luo felt that the best wood at present was not as good as the World Tree, he could have created a spirit first and made a body later, so the seventh puppet did not have a physical form.

But Chen Luo just asked, if Xuehua Qijing needs it, Chen Luo can make a body for her first, and then replace it after the World Tree doll is made.

However, Xuehua Qijing refused.

How can a rose doll without a physical body maintain its own movement?

That's obviously absorbing people's vital energy.

Although absorbing spiritual energy is sufficient to sustain movement in this world brimming with spiritual energy, the essence that Chen Luo, as a top expert, unintentionally exudes is of even higher quality.

Moreover, as a puppet made by Chen Luo himself, it absorbed Chen Luo's essence without any hindrance.

Chen Luo originally wanted to directly give Xuehua Qijing his magic power or river god power, but Xuehua Qijing said...

"Father, I am already extremely grateful for your creation. I cannot let you spend any more money. One sip of your life essence is enough. Although it will be much slower, I am willing to stay with you forever." As she spoke, she licked her lips again.

The mercury lamp was so angry it was itching to bite.

"Slap!" Just as Suigintou was thinking about how to deal with this seventh doll, a slender jade hand grabbed the collar of the incorporeal Xuehua Qijing and threw her directly onto the ninth seat at the dining table.

Then, to everyone's astonishment, she sat directly on Chen Luo's lap.

"Master~ You won't say it'll definitely be tomorrow again today, right?" The Divine Child sat on Chen Luo's lap, wrapped her other arm around Chen Luo's neck, and said with a charming expression.

“Go! I’ll go in a bit!” Chen Luo nodded immediately when he saw the divine child lightly lick his lips from an angle where no one else could see.

When the God Child goes berserk, even the berserk Humanization Plugin has to admit defeat.

"Is that so?" Upon hearing Chen Luo's affirmative reply, Shenzi's face showed a look of regret.

"I'll go right now!" Chen Luo said seriously.

“Actually, there’s no need to rush. Going tomorrow is fine too… I’ve already made all the preparations,” Yae no Miko hinted, giving him a flirtatious wink.

She's lusting after you, and she'll be even more perverted than yesterday.

"...No, I must go today!"

Chapter 1955 Chen Luo: After I finish this month's work, I'll go back to my hometown to get married!

Xuehua Qijing looked at Yae Shinji across from her with a wary expression.

The dining table in Chen Luo's family has always been a dog-eat-dog world. After all, the table is only so long, and if someone arrives late, they don't even have the right to sit at the table.

Especially with the addition of 6 new Rozen Maidens at home.

Didn't you see that Ye Yunshang and Su Yuan both went to the sofa and ate by the coffee table?

Yae no Miko, being one of the first to arrive, happened to be face-to-face with Xuehua Qijing, whom Yae no Miko had pulled off Chen Luo.

Xuehua Qijing watched Yae Miko, who was eating fried tofu, with great vigilance.

Because Xuehua Qijing's intuition told her that the pink-haired fox in front of her was definitely a more cunning and manipulative woman than herself... oh no, she should be called her master/father's thoughtful little sister.

The competition in this family is really fierce.

Xuehua Qijing thought that the first doll, Suigintou, who had appeared long before her, was already difficult enough to deal with, but she didn't expect that there were so many experts in her house.

Leaving aside the Herald of Knowledge who seems to hold a special place in Chen Luo's heart, this pink-haired girl, whose words and actions exude a captivating charm yet evoke extraordinary sympathy, is a formidable rival.

However, Xuehua Qijing was not the only one with this idea; in fact, all of Chen Luo's dolls had their own thoughts.

Within permissible limits, the normal practice for dolls is to vie for the puppeteer's favor to their heart's content.

Whether actively or passively, intentionally or unintentionally, the Rozen Maidens have all displayed their charm to Chen Luo to varying degrees. For example, the morbid love of the 7th doll, Yukina Kiraki.

The second doll is Canary, the third doll is Suiseiseki, the fourth doll is Souseiseki, the fifth doll is Shinku, and there is no sixth doll, Hinaichigo...

Before Xiaoshi went downstairs, they were all expressing their love for the puppeteer in their own ways.

"I'm going to Inazuma today," Chen Luo suddenly said after finishing breakfast.

"Hmm?" Fox Palace stretched its neck instantly, and even Raiden, who was engrossed in playing the game, paused his game.

As for Mikoto Chiyo? That little rascal went to school this morning.

Because she took on the task of attending school in place of Chen Luo, Miyuki Chiyo now harbors a great deal of resentment.

If Chen Luo hadn't explicitly forbidden Miyuki Chiyo from blowing up the entire Xinghai No. 1 Middle School, the school would have already been abandoned by reality.

See that? With this level of study intensity in the final year of high school, even a ghost would shake its head in disbelief.

Su Yuan took the day off today, and she's been taking a month's worth of leave ever since!

Because it's currently the final round of the Abyss Compendium in the Abyss Passage. As the strongest talent in China at present, Su Yuan doesn't even have time to explore the Dimensional Sea; she can only kill monsters and clear dungeons.

Yes, that's right, the Abyss Compendium competition isn't over yet.

This is absolutely outrageous!

"I've saved so many worlds already, why isn't that stupid encyclopedia event over yet?"

Chen Luo wasn't exaggerating. Putting aside the Immortal Ship, even without Chen Luo, the people on the Starry Sky Train could have prevented the disaster, but Yalilo was truly incapable.

Without Chen Luo, it would take Yalilo at least hundreds or thousands of years to improve the planet.

Saying they were saved might be an exaggeration, but without Chen Luo, their lives certainly wouldn't have become so easy.

In addition, Chen Luo even created a world.

[...Do you want to hear what you're saying? Is it possible that it's not that the encyclopedia event lasts a long time, but rather that your sense of time has become completely disordered?]

"..."

Clearly, the Abyss Passage is not to blame.

The Abyss Passage only allows for a little over half a month of competition between the Abyss Plane and the Spiritual Plane for the Abyss Compendium, which is really not a long time.

One of Honkai Impact 3's events can last for another month.

Chen Luo rubbed his temples.

Generally speaking, Chen Luo has traveled through quite a few worlds recently, which has caused some confusion in his sense of time. This is indeed the case, especially in the pre-civilization, a place where Chen Luo constantly jumps through time, which makes his already limited life experience even more rushed.

"After I finish this month's work, I'll go back to my hometown to get married," Chen Luo sighed.

Chen Luo felt it was time for him to take a break, not the kind of break that occurs within a time jump, but a real break.

Sometimes, lying on the sofa like a salted fish, not thinking about anything, is actually a very pleasant thing.

Don't think you're wasting your life, because as long as you feel happy, it's not wasting your life! That's meaningful time.

Meaning is not a concept imposed on you by others, but rather something you genuinely recognize and accept.

Take a cue from the god of joy, Aha, and just let yourself go, then watch the fun unfold. It's actually quite nice to make yourself happy.

[Marriage? With whom?]

"With you," Chen Luo said irritably.

【…】

"..."

【…】

"Say something, will you?" Chen Luo would rather the humanized plugin say something witty to break the silence.

"Ugh, what more do you want from me? Do you expect me to accept your marriage proposal? I'm just a plugin, you know. How about this, we'll make a deal: I'll help you seduce 10 beautiful girls, and you can stop trying to seduce me."

"……roll."

Okay.

"Speaking of which, do any of you plan to return to Inazuma now?" Chen Luo asked Fox Palace and Raiden Shin.

"It's always been there, hasn't it? It's just that you won't let me go back," Fox Palace couldn't help but say.

“That’s right, Ichizoku is still waiting in the Forest of Guardians for Lord Kitsuri to find it.” Yae nods.

"Ahem, what I mean is... a change of image," Chen Luo explained.

"A change of image?"

"Really, how much do you know about your sister?" Chen Luo asked.
