"Damn you, Herrscher of Sentience! Humanity will definitely defeat the Honkai!" Chen Luo roared at the Herrscher of Sentience the moment he woke up and snatched his phone back.
"Tch, no need to be so mad. I didn't even spend that much! And my luck was insane, okay?" The Herrscher waved him off dismissively.
"How much is 'not that much'?" Chen Luo gritted his teeth as he opened his message inbox.
No matter which payment method she'd used, there'd be transaction records.
If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have linked my phone number to the account. One verification code, and she logged right in.
"Multiple recharge records… 648, 328, 198, 98…"
"I get the 648s, but why so many 30s?! And you call this 'not much'?! This adds up to over 2,000! You blew all the money I earned from my justice yesterday!" Chen Luo's veins bulged as he scrolled through the receipts.
"Monthly passes, duh. The 648s had double bonuses, so obviously I went for those. The rest? Best value for long-term gains. Money comes and goes, but Herrscher of Sentience's banner won't! Priorities, A'Luo!" She lectured him like a wise elder.
"So you bought 27 months of monthly passes?! Wow, you really are furgal!" Chen Luo's face twisted at the sight of the two-year-plus subscription.
At this rate, he'd finish Honkai Impact's story before using up all those passes.
On one hand, she was "frugal" enough to invest in monthly passes. On the other, she'd dropped 2,000 yuan to pull for the battlesuit, weapon, and stigmata.
And I don't know if it's because she is the Herrscher of sentience, but a mere 2,000 yuan actually allowed her to pull her weapon, stigmata and even upgrade the character to SS rank. I don't know about other people, at least Chen Luo has never seen two Herrscher of Sentience in a single 10-pull.
Chen Luo silently locked his phone, then pulled Red Wolf's Frying Pan from his Inventory.
"W-What are you doing?!" Seeing Chen Luo, the Herrscher flinched.
Sure, she could obliterate Chen Luo, but the problem was it would make her feel guilty.
"What else? Going to ask our generous sponsor if he's got more cash. Unless you'd prefer a refund request for minors?" Chen Luo stalked toward the door.
The "sponsor" was the blond delinquent, who was hopefully awake by now.
As for a minor refund—whether the Herrscher counted as a "minor" was debatable, and even if it worked, the account would likely get banned.
"Wait, I'll help!" Relieved Chen Luo wasn't coming for her, but the yellow haired delinquent, the Herrscher of Sentience bounced after him.
Chen Luo is someone you can count on—when something happens, he really steps up. And the fact that he didn't delete the account is honestly such a relief. Chen Luo is someone worth being friends with—when he's angry, he takes it out on outsiders.
Chen Luo's community protects privacy very well. Unless someone is walking around like the old man yesterday, no one can find things hidden in the backyard.
Chen Luo lifted the bricks and kicked aside the bucket, startling the buried delinquent, Li Hao'er, awake.
"Mmph! Mmmph—!" Li Hao'er's eyes bulged in terror at the sight of Chen Luo looming over him with a frying pan and looking down at him.
"He's calling you a psycho and begging for mercy. Says he'll never do it again," the Herrscher translated cheerfully.
Chen Luo glanced at her—now clad in a full-body dinosaur onesie—and sighed in relief.
At least she didn't wear a skirt.
Chen Luo also found out since last night, the Herrscher of Sentience didn't seem to read his mind very much. She just read his mood, such as happiness, anger, etc. But she seemed to still keep the habit of reading other people's minds.
"Hm? you seem to be worried about me?" The Herrscher of Sentience looked at Chen Luo in surprise.
What was there to worry about?
"Nothing." Chen Luo shook his head, then crouched and sliced through the 10 layers of duct tape sealing Li Hao'er's mouth layer by layer with a pocket knife.
Because Chen Luo was worried that this guy would spit out the stuff blocking his mouth last night, he wrapped 10 layers of tape. Now he is too lazy to remove them layer by layer, so it is more convenient to cut them. It is convenient for Chen Luo, but for the blond delinquent who feels the cold blade, the experience is traumatizing.
This guy's a fucking psychopath!
What nice person, if you say he is a murderer, I believe it! The blond delinquent was almost scared stupid.
If someone said that Chen Luo was just a gangster, the blond delinquent felt that Chen Luo was more like a killer, cold and ruthless. He might also suffer from schizophrenia, after all, he actually spoke to the air just now.
Wait? Schizophrenia?
When in school, use one of his personalities to try to pretend to be a good person, and then release his real personality at night. When a crime is committed, no one will doubt him because of his good reputation...
Devil! This is definitely a devil!
A murderer! A perverted murderer!
The blond delinquent looked at Chen Luo with more and more fear, but the more frightened he was, the less he dared to move.
"What's wrong with him?" After Chen Luo removed the tape and took out the rag from his mouth, he looked at the blond delinquent who was so scared that he couldn't speak, and ask the Herrscher of Sentience
Although the ground might be a bit damp and chilly, and being trapped in a barrel enduring the darkness might have frightened him, it was still rather strange that he didn't scream or shout after the gag in their mouth was removed.
"Nothing, it's just that this person has a hyperactive imagination and thinks you are a perverted murderer. In short, to put it simply, you have broken his psychological defense. Now he will answer whatever you ask." The Herrscher of Sentience said.
"Is his imagination that intense? I don't know why, but this is good news. Do you want me to let you out?" Chen Luo nodded to the Herrscher of Sentience and then looked at the blond delinquent who was trembling.
"Yes, yes, yes!" Hearing Chen Luo's words, the blond delinquent nodded frantically, but then shook his head frantically after thinking of something.
Help! Someone is going to kill me so I keep silent? He is going to dismember me!
After reading the blond delinquent's mind, the Herrscher of Sentience stop the mental intimidation with satisfaction.
[Ding! New Commission!]
["Let Me Out"]: Li Hao'er hopes Chen Luo will release him alive, instead of cutting him into pieces and throwing his body into the wilderness.
Reward: 30 Primogems
Difficulty: 0 star
"..." After seeing this commission, Chen Luo couldn't help but agree with the Herrscher of Sentience
This guy's imagination really is next-level.
