Their commission was suspicious.

Damn! I almost forgot, this really isn't a system, it's my talent.

It's all because this thing looks so much like a system that Chen Luo got confused.

Chen Luo was somewhat disappointed.

The saying "the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment" is exactly true.

And most importantly, no matter how Chen Luo looked at this traveler who claimed to have EX-level talent, he couldn't find anything particularly impressive about him.

Well, it was utterly unremarkable in every way, and Chen Luo didn't even know how to use it.

This talent is terrible; it made me wait so long for nothing, and the description sounded so impressive...

Chen Luo immediately became sullen.

The problem is, I can't feel happy.

[Ding! You have 1000 Primogems waiting to be claimed. Would you like to claim them?]

"???" Upon hearing this voice, Chen Luo's body inexplicably trembled.

For some reason, Chen Luo's spirits lifted as soon as he heard the word "raw stone".

"Why are there 1000 raw stones?" Chen Luo was completely puzzled.

That's talent! How could there be a newbie gift pack?

But then, a strange, indescribable memory suddenly flooded into Chen Luo's mind.

【manual】

After a while, Chen Luo shook his head, which felt a bit swollen, in frustration.

Why didn't you take out the instruction manual earlier?

After a while, Chen Luo finally finished processing that memory.

Then Chen Luo realized that the 1000 raw stones were the reward for the nearly 1000 acts of kindness he had done.

There could have been more, but because the talent wasn't fully awakened at the time, the maximum number of talent gems that could be accumulated was only 1000.

However, it seems that the extra, unobtainable gems can be accumulated into "Fortune" and used on the first draw. According to the instructions, the accumulated Fortune currently guarantees an extremely rare special five-star character on the first ten-draw—one in a million among five-stars—and this benefit won't be available afterward. That sounds pretty good…

The source of raw stones is through completing quests, helping others to obtain varying amounts of raw stones, and also through monster drops.

Moreover, since this talent is named Traveler, Chen Luo will also receive some Primogems as a reward when he sees scenery that moves him. Not much, but enough.

Various quirky achievements are also a source of Primogem rewards.

These raw stones can be used for lotteries and... to buy skills?

The lottery system is easy to understand. Once Chen Luo has accumulated 1600 Primogems, he can unlock the lottery system and participate in the lottery.

The prize pool contains everything from star destroyer motherships to sugary drinks, and you can even draw character cards to get a virtual wife. But what you actually get in the end depends on your luck.

As for the skill purchase function...

Simply put, it means you can buy other people's talents or special skills, but you have to spend Primogems.

In the Traveler's talent, raw gems are omnipotent.

However, the prerequisite for purchasing skills is that the other party must be your friend.

That's right. If the other person isn't your friend, then all you can do is kill them and see if they drop any skill scrolls or the like.

In that case, the skill scroll obtained is random, and there is a significant chance that it is not a skill that you already possess.

The more Chen Luo looked at this Traveler's Talent, the more it seemed like a game.

And beating someone to death... is such violence really okay?

However, Chen Luo glanced at his empty friend list and immediately fell silent.

"If" here means "if".

If I manage to kill a tardigrade, is it possible for me to gain the tardigrade's near-immortality?

From a generally rational perspective, it's probably possible, but only if the traveler's innate ability truly identifies the tardigrade as an "enemy."

"Ring ring!" The bell rang, signaling the end of get out of class and the start of the holiday.

The last class on Friday afternoon is always the most grueling, but Chen Luo was so engrossed in all sorts of bizarre things that the time seemed to fly by.

"Chen Luo, it's my turn to clean today, but I have something urgent to do. Can you help me out?" Just as the homeroom teacher on the stage left, a boy rushed to Chen Luo's deskmate's desk.

[Ding! You have a new commission.]

[Cleaning]: A classmate who is in a hurry to see his girlfriend and doesn't want to clean at all wants you to help him clean.

Reward: 5 Primogems

Difficulty: 0 stars

“But…” Chen Luo said helplessly.

Although... earning raw stones isn't something to be ashamed of.

[Ding! You have a new commission.]

【Take in the Herrscher of Knowledge】(Limited-time commission): The Herrscher of Knowledge, who was just scammed by her own mother, was swept into a time portal by a time-space turbulence and is seriously injured. Go and give her a home!

Reward: 600 Primogems + Mastery of any weapon

Difficulty: 0 stars

Countdown: 20 minutes.

(This is a time-limited mission. If you do not arrive at the mission location to accept the mission by the deadline, it will automatically disappear.)

(Note: This mission is extremely rare, please choose carefully.)

"Is that okay? Thanks then." The male student said without any gratitude.

"Sigh..." Chen Luo's deskmate sighed.

Doesn't it take one person 20 minutes to clean? I guess I'll have to help him out.

What a tragedy! How did I end up with such a deskmate?

"Go to hell with that! Do your own thing!"

Five raw gems? Are you trying to appease a beggar?

A tool? I'm not doing that anymore!!!

I hope you stay out late cleaning and get stabbed in the kidney by a blue rifleman!

After giving the other person the middle finger, Chen Luo flipped over the desk and ran out of the classroom at top speed.

Only the male classmate and Chen Luo's deskmate were left, bewildered in the wind.

The difference was that, while Chen Luo's deskmate was in a state of confusion, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

Chapter 3: Another way to complete the commissioned task!

Although Chen Luo knew that his behavior just now was very different from his usual "good guy" code of conduct, the problem was that Chen Luo himself was not a "good guy".

It's all just a task assigned by the Traveler's talent.

If it's just normal helping others, Chen Luo wouldn't mind doing it.

But you're a high school student with hands and feet, why do you need someone else to clean for you? Don't you have hands and feet?

Furthermore, Chen Luo discovered that the commission system within his talent, besides allowing him to accept missions, could also reveal certain information.

For example, how did this talent know that the male classmate had pushed the work onto Chen Luo because he was looking for a girlfriend?

Although Chen Luo couldn't understand it, he had seen even more incredible things before, so he could accept this.

The most important thing now is to complete that time-limited task as soon as possible.

Please, that limited-time mission is really valuable, okay?

600 raw stones! That's more than half of all the raw stones I've earned through my hard work over the past two years.

And that special weapon mastery reward... it's really tempting.

Chen Luo's home is not far from the school, and today Chen Luo came by bicycle, which only takes 5 minutes at most to get home from school.

If nothing unexpected happens...

But if nothing unexpected happens, something unexpected will definitely happen.

As soon as Chen Luo ran to the bicycle storage area, he saw his bicycle in the spot where someone was violently attacking the rear tire.

"You damn blondie, you're unloading my car again!" Chen Luo was furious at the sight of the bastard with dyed blond hair.

"Holy crap, how come you got here so fast today?" The blond guy with a screwdriver was shocked to see Chen Luo come out so quickly.

Logically speaking, Chen Luo is responsible for all the cleaning in Chen Luo's class every day, which has almost become the norm.

"Damn it!" Under normal circumstances, Chen Luo wouldn't care much about the other party. At most, he would make a phone call to inform the teacher or call the security guard.

But Chen Luo is very anxious today.

Chen Luo discovered that the location of the Herald of Knowledge was right in front of his house, which explained why he received this request.

And that blond-haired Chen Luo was no stranger; he was the school bully who was almost traumatized by the phrase "a mop covered in poop, Lu Bu reborn."

That's how the feud between the two started.

"Since you've seen it, I won't pretend anymore. I'm the one who took your old bicycle." Seeing that Chen Luo had discovered the secret, Huang Mao didn't hide it anymore.

I'm not pretending anymore, I'm laying my cards on the table.

Chen Luo stormed forward.

"What? You dare to hit me?" The blond-haired man stood on tiptoe and looked at Chen Luo, who was slightly shorter than him, and couldn't help but laugh.

Chen Luo walked to the back seat of his bicycle, put his schoolbag on it, and then rummaged through the bag.

"What? Is that all the courage you have? Now that we're not in the bathroom, you don't even have the guts to fight anymore?" The blond-haired guy sneered twice.

Then, the blond-haired man's smug smile slowly froze. He actually saw Chen Luo slowly pull a... brick?! from his backpack!

"Snapped!"

While the other person was still stunned, Chen Luo smashed a brick into their head.

As we all know, Chen Luo likes to help others, so it's normal for him to bring some "equipment" in order to do so, right?

Bricks, being easy to find and easy to discard, naturally became Chen Luo's first choice.

Chen Luo stood there, coldly watching the blond-haired man being knocked down by a brick.

I was a model student who once hit a bank robber with a brick when I was robbed. You dare to fight me?

Chen Luo really wanted to give the other person a couple more whacks on the head, but seeing the mission countdown, he gave up.

Chen Luo threw his schoolbag into his bicycle basket, grabbed a brick, and ran towards the school gate.

Forget the backpack! The raw gem is more important!

As for why he was carrying a brick? Well, it was obviously to cover up the crime.

As for that blond guy?

Haha, if there were surveillance cameras in the bicycle storage area, Huang Mao would have been caught long ago, so there's no need to worry about surveillance issues.

What if Huang Mao turns around and identifies Chen Luo as the attacker?

Please, one is a recognized model student and a good-natured person who has received a banner from the police station, and the other is a blond guy. Do you think the police will believe him?

……

"Luckily, school is on holiday, and there are usually plenty of taxis at the gate, otherwise I almost wouldn't have been able to complete the task." After getting out of the taxi, Chen Luo breathed a sigh of relief as he looked at the task with 12 minutes left on the countdown.

The reason we wasted 8 minutes was mainly because the traffic jam was extremely bad.

Moreover, in order to prevent the taxi driver from picking up more passengers and wasting his already limited time, Chen Luo directly paid three times the price.

To ensure the mission wouldn't be disturbed, Chen Luo got out of the car a short distance from his home.

"Chen Luo? Why are you out of school so soon? Oh, right, come and talk to Xiao Lin, tell her to stop eating lollipops. She won't listen to me, she only listens to you." A beautiful young woman saw Chen Luo, and the worry on her face immediately disappeared.
