Their commission was suspicious.

Chapter 61 Getting Rich Overnight? Card Draw! (4K)

Chen Luo stared at the raw stone interface, lost in thought over the 4954 raw stones.

Then Chen Luo reached for the talent panel, and when he pulled his hand back, a shiny object appeared in his hand.

"One rough stone can produce one gem, so what about a 4954 rough stone?" Chen Luo muttered.

Then Chen Luo understood the next moment.

After Chen Luo's thoughts raced, the space where Chen Luo's talent panel was located seemed to have a huge hole, and countless gems flowed out, instantly covering the entire ground.

"Ah... raw gems." Chen Luo lay down directly in the pile of gems, revealing a happy smile.

Chen Luo suspected that even if these raw stones weren't used for the lottery, selling a single one could fetch a considerable price.

After all, it really does look like a perfect, oddly shaped, and very natural gemstone.

"Wow, what are you doing?" The Herrscher of Knowledge pushed open the door and saw Chen Luo lying on a pile of glittering gems, pretending to be dead.

When the Herrscher of Knowledge opened the door, some of the gems piled up at the entrance even spilled out, causing Chen Luo to sit up instantly. With a thought, all the gems returned to his talent panel.

"Ahem, it's nothing. What brings you to a bar?" Chen Luo coughed twice and said.

"Just now, my right eyelid suddenly started twitching, and I had a feeling that you were in some kind of crisis, so I rushed back to check on you. I found your bicycle parked outside, but you weren't there, so I came into the bar to check. Now it seems that I was just imagining things," said the Herrscher of Knowledge, rubbing his temples.

"Eating too much at once is really not a good thing," the Herrscher of Knowledge complained.

"No, you really aren't mistaken. I did encounter a crisis just now, but I resolved it and also took down an S-rank talent user in the process." Chen Luo said as he threw out the corpse of the other party.

It's unclear whether it's because the lingering angelic power of the deceased was still at work, but the fatal wound on the neck was slowly healing after it was removed.

However, it is certain that the other party is indeed dead.

What Chen Luo was more concerned about was the strange connection between himself and the Lawgiver of Consciousness. Could this be a special connection that came with becoming family? Was it similar to the telepathic connection between twins?

"An S-rank talent? You can defeat an S-rank talent?" The Herrscher of Knowledge asked incredulously.

If you say Chen Luo is very strong, the Lawbringer of Knowledge doesn't deny that, but the current Chen Luo is really not even as strong as he can be defeated with one hand.

In terms of the Honkai world, an S-rank talent is equivalent to a Herrscher, but that only means they have that potential.

From the perspective of the Herrscher of Knowledge, the S-rank talents in this world who have just awakened their talents should not be as strong as those who have just become Herrschers.

After all, acquiring Herrscher powers is instantaneous, but talent still needs time to grow, although it grows very quickly.

However, the most outstanding thing about the talented people in this world is that they can grow and can break through levels to become SS-level talented people.

"How did you manage to defeat him? Judging from his corpse, you could tell he was definitely a powerful figure in life." Although the facts were already presented, the Herrscher of Knowledge was particularly curious about the reason.

“If the other party were an S-class talent with other talents, I would definitely have to run away and ask you to deal with her, but the problem is that she is an angel.”

"So what if she's an angel? Angels are strong too... emmm, that elementary school kid's flying kick?"

"It's not a primary school student's flying kick, it's a little evil god's flying kick," Chen Luo corrected.

Since Chen Luo had already tested this little evil god's flying kick, the best target would naturally be the Herrscher of Knowledge.

Therefore, those who understand the laws of nature have a deep understanding of the power of this thing.

A genuine elementary school student's flying kick.

"That's really tragic," the Herrscher of Knowledge remarked.

A strong person with the same potential as himself died from a primary school student's flying kick.

The other party probably died with their eyes wide open in disbelief.

"How many Primal Stones did you get for killing an S-rank expert?" Xiao Shi asked.

“1000, but her equipment was more expensive, it sold for 1500,” Chen Luo explained simply.

"So cheap? This is all the raw stones an S-rank expert is giving away? Who are they trying to fool?" Xiao Shi said with dissatisfaction.

Do you know how difficult it is to kill a Herrscher? You finally manage to kill a Herrscher, and all you get are these few Primogems?

"My talent is more inclined to harvest desires to complete commissions. Perhaps that's why I get fewer Primogems from killing." Chen Luo shrugged helplessly.

"Alright, since you're alright, I'll go get something else to eat. I'm almost back to my previous level, but I feel like I can still eat more, as if my upper limit has increased."

After seeing that Chen Luo was indeed out of danger, Xiao Shi greeted Chen Luo and then left.

Are you still going to eat dinner?

"Of course I ate it. Can spiritual food be the same as physical food?" Xiao Shi rolled her eyes at Chen Luo.

After seeing the other party leave, Chen Luo looked at the Origin Stone interface once again.

"I've already done 30 consecutive draws. Should I try one first?" Chen Luo was tempted by the huge sum of over 4000 primal stones.

"No, no, I need to save up for 100 consecutive draws before I see if there's anything good." Chen Luo's rationality stopped him.

"It's like playing Genshin Impact. You can't just start using Primogems to draw prizes as soon as you get them, because you won't get anything good that way. After all, there's a pity system, which is both good and bad." Chen Luo suppressed his urge to draw prizes.

[Ding! Detected sufficient raw gem reserves, therefore a limited-time event has been activated. During the event, your first 10-pull will be discounted by 9.9%.]

A notification sound suddenly came from the talent panel.

"That's hilarious. A 9.9% discount only saves you 16 raw stones. Who would hesitate to save raw stones just for a 16-stone discount?" Chen Luo revealed a contemptuous smile.

……

Yes, that's me. I'm the one who couldn't save up my Originium because of the 16 Originium discount.

Seeing his hand uncontrollably clicking towards the ten-hit combo, Chen Luo looked on in despair.

Please, that's 16 Primogems! That's more than stealing three little girls' lollipops! Who can resist that?

"Damn it!" Looking at the blue sky and white clouds and a purple light, Chen Luo had already given up hope before he could see anything.

My terrible talent stats have misled me!

However, Chen Luo was already mentally prepared. After all, how could he possibly get a five-star gold item that only has a guaranteed drop once every 100 pulls on his first 10-pull?

Oh, not counting the last 10-pull, that was a newbie bonus that guaranteed a gold item in every 10 pulls.

Five stars: None

Four-star: Pet Egg (Unhatched)

Samsung: 5x All-Around Network, Small-Scale Person Search Talisman

Two stars: Extreme Karting

One star: Diamond ring, 10 decoy mines

"Damn it! What are you going to do with giving me so many networks from all directions?"

This network of prizes, with each item representing a different prize, resulted in Chen Luo receiving five of them.

Chen Luo didn't quite understand why he was the one who was getting all this junk.

The Four Directions Net (Advanced Version): Can be used to capture and subdue some intelligent but weak creatures.

As for that one and only four-star item pet egg...

Pet Egg (Armed Doll Limited Edition): Can hatch one armed doll, but requires the infusion of soul, personality, and consciousness fragments; otherwise, it cannot be hatched.

What use is an egg that can't hatch?

What, do I need to stuff a soul into it before it can be used?

Wait, if it's someone who understands the laws, is that alright?

Although Chen Luo's thinking was very divergent, after his right eyelid twitched several times, he happily gave up on this idea, since it could potentially kill someone.

"I have a feeling this pet egg could be used by Klein. Isn't Klein going to die soon? No, wait, Mebius seems to have the ability to create artificial life forms. In that case, there's no need to bother myself..."

Chen Luo had some confidence in Möbius's technique, but the key question was whether Möbius understood the existence of the soul and the transfer of consciousness.

However, no matter what, Chen Luo couldn't just give away this priceless treasure, which he bought for 1600 raw stones, to Mebius for free, unless she offered a higher price.

"Today was truly exciting." Chen Luo finally sighed, putting a comma at the end of the day.

It's not a period because there might be something even more exciting tonight.

You never know whether an accident or a new guest will come first.

"How about we get some playing cards and mahjong in the tavern? That way they won't get bored. After all, the longer they stay in the tavern, the more raw stones we can squeeze out of them. Hmm, that's what we'll do!" Chen Luo slapped his thigh, then pushed open the door and went out.

I just hope Chen Luo's tavern won't turn into a card and mahjong parlor in the future, but it shouldn't be that big of a problem.

But as soon as Chen Luo stepped out of the bar, his phone rang.

"Yunxia?" Chen Luo's heart stirred.

If Chen Luo wasn't mistaken, this phone call was probably related to... the Angel of War.

Hmm, her name was Yvette, but Chen Luo always forgot her name.

"Hello." Chen Luo answered the phone.

"Alo, are you home yet?"

"Oh, I just got home. What's up?"

"Well, you're going on a trip during summer vacation, right? If you're going on a trip, you probably won't have time to do your summer homework, right?" Yunxia asked.

"???" Good grief, did you call specifically to ask about my summer homework?

"It's not a big problem. At most, we can just say we lost our summer homework after school starts," Chen Luo replied casually.

"That's too risky. I have a machine here that can automatically imitate handwriting to write homework. I'll write your homework while I'm at it."

"There are machines like this? You people in the underworld are really strange." Chen Luo exclaimed in surprise.

"Also, did you have this machine do your homework before?" Chen Luo asked casually.

"How could that be? I'm a model student, how could I do something like that? If it weren't for your trip, I wouldn't have had to use this machine. Anyway, I'll have someone pick up your homework later, remember to give it to him."

"Oh, okay." Chen Luo nodded.

Even after the other party hung up the phone, Chen Luo was still completely bewildered.

Chen Luo initially thought the other party might be contacting him because of Yvette, but he didn't expect it to be for this reason. Chen Luo felt something was off.

Chen Luo's intuition told him that this matter was not so simple, but he couldn't quite put his finger on what was wrong.

"Ding-a-ling!" The doorbell rang at Chen Luo's house.

"Holy crap, so fast?" Chen Luo was instinctively startled.

Although he was quite surprised by the other party's efficiency, Chen Luo still took out his schoolbag at a leisurely pace.

Carrying his schoolbag in his left hand, Chen Luo walked to the door, glanced at the other person through the peephole, and then opened the door.

"Are you here to pick up your homework?" Chen Luo looked at the other person with some wariness.

The person I've never seen before is not Yunxia's bodyguard.

Chen Luo couldn't sense any power fluctuations from the other person, but his intuition told him that this person seemed very strong.

It is at least stronger than its own regular combat force.

"Yes." The man in the black suit nodded and took the backpack that Chen Luo handed him.

"Please check carefully to see if all the assignments are here?" The man in the suit opened his backpack while staring intently at Chen Luo.

The man in the suit didn't seem like he was there to collect homework; he seemed like he was there to kill him.

Chen Luo reluctantly opened the schoolbag and checked the summer homework, which was at least 10 centimeters thick, covering various subjects. Then he handed the schoolbag back to the other person.

Chen Luo only breathed a sigh of relief after the other person left.

The visitor seemed hostile, but they didn't make a move.

This puzzled Chen Luo.

……

“Your Excellency, we found nothing unusual. He was indeed just a low-level talent with some wind element fluctuations. He was even weaker than me in terms of strength perception. He couldn’t possibly have the strength to kill Lady Yvette. Moreover, we didn’t see any traces of battle on him, nor any remnants of curses or the aura of the Ring of Life.”

After leaving the residential area, the man in the suit tossed his backpack onto the passenger seat, took out a satellite phone, and respectfully spoke to the person on the other end of the line.

"Hmm." The person on the other end of the phone simply hummed in response before hanging up.

The owner of the phone was standing on a high-rise building, looking down at the entire city.

On the edge of the rooftop next to the phone owner, a young girl was sitting, playing with a dragon-shaped jade pendant in her hand.
