Their commission was suspicious.

Chen Luo knew this in advance from the Herrscher of Knowledge, because half an afternoon was enough time for the Herrscher of Knowledge to collect 1 crystals.

This isn't teaming up, it's just asking for help in battle!

As we all know, the assist characters in Honkai Impact 3rd don't support you from beginning to end; they only support you for a period of time.

In some levels, the assist skill is simply giving you a buff.

Moreover, the 1 crystals here refers to the other party's 1 crystals.

Killing 2000 assassins will earn you 1 crystals, but since it was a teammate (assistant) who killed them, Chen Luo will only receive 5000 crystals.

This was something Chen Luo had never expected.

However, seemingly due to a special relationship, the share given to Chen Luo by the aid of the Law Enforcer was not 5%.

If the Herrscher of Knowledge kills an ordinary assassin, Chen Luo will receive three crystals, which means his share will increase from 50% to 60%.

So after the Herrscher of Knowledge gave Chen Luo 6000 crystals, she stopped doing anything else. No matter what Honkai Beast she killed, she could no longer give Chen Luo any more crystals.

Since none of Chen Luo's teammates had ever reached 1 crystals before, Chen Luo was unaware of this rule, but today the Herrscher of Knowledge accomplished it.

"Chen Luo, listen to me, one shouldn't be so fickle and abandonful; one should see things through to the end," Raven said, patting Chen Luo's shoulder and earnestly advising him.

The lowest-ranking assassin is paid $1000. Raven has never encountered anything like this in his life. Now the cooked duck is about to fly away.

Two million US dollars does sound like a lot, but human greed is insatiable.

"Alright, that's enough. As long as you help me kill 2000 assassins, I'll give you 500 million US dollars. How about that? Not double the price, but 2.5 times the price," Chen Luo said, unusually generous.

"Well... that's fine too." Seeing that Chen Luo seemed to have something he couldn't say, Raven was very understanding.

Anyway, it seems the other party has made up their mind, so it looks like we really can't squeeze any more money out of them.

So it's better to just agree to the other person's request and get more "breakup fee".

"Does the end of the employment relationship mean you're no longer going to care about this survivor base?" Raven asked.

"How could I not care? Don't worry, I will definitely help you build this survivor base," Chen Luo assured him, patting his chest.

Just kidding, it would be foolish not to make money from raw stones.

“But once you’ve completed the target of two thousand assassins by tomorrow, or even today, let’s act together tomorrow,” Chen Luo suddenly said to Raven.

"Hmm? Hmm, okay." Although Raven was a little puzzled by Chen Luo's idea, after thinking about it, Raven realized that there was no harm in doing it this way.

Furthermore, Raven was thinking even further: if she continued to act alongside Chen Luo, she could uncover more of Chen Luo's hidden cards. This way, she could be well-prepared to decide whether to persuade him to go to World Serpent or to kidnap him directly.

Let's use a joint action to gain their trust.

"Let's use a joint operation to gain their trust," said the Herrscher of Knowledge, sitting on Chen Luo's other side.

"Mmm," Chen Luo replied softly.

Under the influence of the Herrscher of Knowledge, none of the people present, except for Chen Luo, could see the Herrscher of Knowledge, including Raven.

"The higher the intimacy level, the easier it is to influence the other party. The lower the other party's guard, the easier it is to be influenced."

"Raven is quite capable, and not weak at all. Of course, that doesn't mean I can't influence her, but I'm not sure if I can influence her 100%. To ensure the plan works, you should work on building up her favorability over the next couple of days."

“Such as bringing each other some drinks, showing concern for each other, asking if the other person is tired, or even going to a rescue mission together and fighting side by side, can easily cultivate camaraderie.”

"And didn't you say that completing that mission would give Raven a 30-point favor bonus? With those 30 points of favor, Raven should be more likely to lower her guard against you," the Herrscher of Knowledge said confidently.

The Lawbringer is sparing no effort to help Chen Luo increase Raven's favorability.

This was also so that Chen Luo could obtain the other party's third divine key with 100% certainty.

According to Chen Luo, if he wants the Void Archives to be able to fully simulate the power of the Third Divine Key after exceeding the limit, Chen Luo needs to personally touch it and understand its structure.

Just like the data on the Heavenly Judgment of Fire is in the Void Treasury, it can be directly simulated. But the problem is that even after exceeding the limit, if the original data is used for simulation, only a weakened version of the Heavenly Judgment of Fire can be simulated.

To simulate the complete version of the Heavenly Judgment, Chen Luo needs to personally make contact with it.

Although the Herrscher of Consciousness did not modify Raven's consciousness without complete certainty, it was not that the Herrscher of Consciousness discovered nothing.

For example... Raven seems to really want Chen Luo to go to World Serpent.

And this idea can also be exploited.

Once you increase the level of goodwill and lower the other person's guard, then using this idea as a starting point, guiding them becomes very easy.

After dinner, Chen Luo and Raven both went out to hunt down the assassins.

Although it's dinner time now, it's only around 6 pm. We can continue the killing spree before the sun sets.

Moreover, even after the sun sets, it doesn't stop Raven from continuing its rampage, since the sniper rifle form of the third Divine Key is immune to darkness.

However, Chen Luo doesn't have this advantage. Chen Luo needs to go back to the bar to run it at night, firstly because it's too dark and affects his monster-hunting efficiency, and secondly because the bar is also a key revenue-generating project.

Under Chen Luo's subtle influence, the customers have now gotten used to coming to the bar after 8 or 9 pm.

……

"Xiao Shi, have you figured out how to explain your identity?" Chen Luo, sitting inside the bar, asked the Herrscher of Knowledge next to him while carving a wooden movable figure with a carving knife.

“You should have realized it by now, as the number of guests increases, so do the number of acquaintances. You can’t keep this a secret forever,” Chen Luo said.

As the number of guests increases, so does the number of people associated with the Lawgiver.

"That's simple. I am the future Fu Hua, that's a fact." The Herrscher of Knowledge clapped her hands and said.

"But do you think Fu Hua herself can believe it?" Chen Luo rolled his eyes at the Herrscher of Knowledge.

"Hmm, she probably doesn't believe it, but what does it matter whether she believes it or not? It's fine as long as everyone else believes it, right?" The Herrscher of Knowledge shrugged.

Gaining trust is an easy thing for someone who understands the laws of nature, isn't it?

"Chen Luo, you actually betrayed me!" The door of Chen Luo's bar was kicked open, and a girl with long white hair rushed in angrily.

The long hair was still dripping wet, so it looked like she had just washed it not long ago.

"Kiana, why are you so angry?" The Herrscher of Knowledge sat on the bar, crossed her legs, and asked with a smile.

"Hey, you, you, you... are you Fu Hua? What are you doing here?" Kiana was clearly startled to see the Herrscher of Knowledge here.

"Oh dear, you don't even call me class monitor... That's going to make me sad, Kiana." The Herrscher of Knowledge's smile deepened as she looked at Kiana.

"Are we that close?" Kiana stared warily at the Herrscher of Knowledge.

"And are you and Alo very familiar?" Kiana's heart skipped a beat as she looked at Chen Luo, who was standing next to the Herrscher of Knowledge.

In all the days since Kiana arrived, she has never seen anyone sit at the bar without being kicked off by Chen Luo.

Moreover, the statue that Chen Luo was carving in his hand seemed to resemble the Herrscher of Knowledge, as the sharp-eyed Kiana noticed.

Kiana knew that this statue was carved by Chen Luo for each guest, specifically in the order of their arrival.

The first one to arrive was the drunken poet Wendy, which is why there was only a Wendy statue on the liquor cabinet behind Chen Luo. But why was the second one Fu Hua?

"You mean A-Luo? We're very close. Very close." The Herrscher of Knowledge, who could see through appearances to the essence, seemed to see what Kiana cared about most, and placed her hand directly on Chen Luo's hair, patting his head.

Chen Luo completely ignored the Lawgiver and continued carving.

Sculpting requires complete concentration.

Seeing this scene, Kiana's gaze towards the Herrscher of Knowledge became even more wary.

What's going on with this person?

"Hey, class president?" Following Kiana, who was fuming, came Raiden Mei.

But when Raiden Mei saw the scene before her, she was also greatly startled.

What's going on here?

"Alright, it's a success." After taking back the last penny, Chen Luo tossed the figurine directly to the Herrscher of Knowledge.

"Yo, Kiana, Mei, you're here." After finishing carving the dolls, Chen Luo greeted Kiana and Raiden Mei.

"Aro, who is this Fu Hua class monitor...?" Raiden Mei asked, pointing to the Herrscher of Knowledge beside her.

“She’s not Fu Hua, or rather, she’s not the Fu Hua you know. She’s Fu Hua from the future,” Chen Luo said directly.

"Huh?" Both of them were taken aback.

"You guys don't know this, do you? This tavern can not only accommodate guests from different worlds, but also guests from different times, like Kiana, and that Mebius you met yesterday."

"Oh, you mean that guy in the white coat, right?" Kiana clearly remembered Mebius.

“That’s right, she was a scientist from the previous civilization in your world 5 years ago,” Chen Luo said.

"Sigh, does our world still have a previous civilization?" Kiana exclaimed in surprise.

"Of course, Kiana, you weren't paying attention in history class again." Raiden Mei, sitting next to Kiana, rubbed her temples with a slight headache.

"Have you forgotten? The academy headmaster's oath of Judah is not a product of this era."

"..."

Kiana suddenly felt...

I feel like I've embarrassed myself.

Chapter 103: What happens when Honkai Energy Adaptability reaches 200%?

"Are you really the future class monitor?" Kiana looked the Herrscher of Knowledge up and down in disbelief.

“Of course, it’s the real deal,” said the Herald of Knowledge.

“Although I’ve only been at St. Freya Academy for a few days, I always feel that you are a little bit different from the current class president,” Kiana said, stroking her chin.

Kiana has only just started school.

Her only impression of Fu Hua was that he was hard to understand, using all sorts of idioms, making him sound a bit like a complete idiom speaker.

Although Kiana wasn't very familiar with Fu Hua, she vaguely felt that the person in front of her was different from the somewhat old-fashioned one.

"Hmm, so you're trying to say I'm not Fu Hua again?" The Herrscher of Knowledge nodded, then looked at Kiana with an extremely dangerous gaze.

Kiana, you're so annoying!

"Uh, what does 'again' mean?" Kiana was startled and instinctively took a step back.

"Hmm, it's nothing, I just remembered something unpleasant." The Herrscher of Knowledge smiled and shook her head.

Isn't it just that the other party doesn't acknowledge that they are Fu Hua and even attacked them?

It's okay, I'm not angry.

"Then, class monitor, how can you prove that you are the future class monitor?" Kiana couldn't help but ask.

“I know what the history exam questions will be tomorrow,” said the Lawgiver of Knowledge.

"Huh?" Kiana tilted her head.

"Really? Tell me quickly." Kiana's eyes lit up with anticipation, as if stars were shining in them.

“Kiana…” Raiden Mei tugged at Kiana’s clothes.

For a good student like Raiden Mei, leaking exam questions was indeed beyond her wildest imagination.

"Hey, Mei, don't stop me. I'm not doing this for myself. I'm just trying to prove whether the class monitor in front of me is the real class monitor!" Kiana said righteously.

"This..." Raiden Mei didn't know how to refute Kiana's reasoning.

"So, class monitor, please tell me all the history exam questions you know. If possible, please tell me all the other subjects as well." Kiana stepped forward and grabbed the Herrscher of Knowledge's hand.

"..." The Lawbringer was speechless for a moment.

I went to so much trouble before I traveled through time, but I still couldn't get the other person to sincerely call me "class monitor".

Now look what's happened, they're calling themselves so affectionately over a useless exam question.

Did I overestimate Kiana?

The person who understood the law was momentarily filled with doubt about life.

"Want to know all the questions for the next exam?" The Herrscher of Knowledge asked, after a moment of silence, while holding Kiana's shoulder.

"Yes, please tell me, class monitor."

"Dream on." The Herrscher of Knowledge rolled her eyes at Kiana.

"Ugh?"
