The Artifact Forger from the Beginning of Collapse

All I can say is that it's like resisting.

[Dad]: Your Majesty?

Chen Li sent another message to his dear queen, and then casually tossed her some soda and snacks.

[Queen of the Sky]: Here.

[Dad]: Is there anything unusual?

[Queen of the Sky]: I don't know.

[Father]: As long as Your Majesty is still here, there is nothing wrong with me.

[Queen of the Sky]: ...

Look, the Herrscher of the Void is still here, which means that Chen Li's influence on the previous civilization has not caused any substantial disruption to the current civilization.

A cloud of boiling mist!

"It seems I really do need to take action. So, my beloved concubine, would you be interested in joining me to save the world?" Chen Li extended his hand to Alicia, who was harassing his personal guard.

"Right now, I'd rather find a place to have a drink with Sakura," Alicia said earnestly.

"Stop drinking! Hurry up and come with me to save the world! Otherwise, I'll forge a strange artifact that will prevent you from ever seeing a beautiful girl again!"

"What could possibly forge such a vicious and wondrous object? Your Majesty! Consort Alicia is ready! What shall we do now?"

"Could you help me figure out how to make my live stream more entertaining?"

"What do you mean? What are you going to do?"

"I plan to... debut."

"what?"

Chapter 133: Loading the barrage...fire!

Flames burned fiercely on the Miracle Forging Table.

Chen Li threw a beautiful metal ring into the Miracle Flame.

"Is this the real thing behind WeChat Moments?" Alicia asked curiously, examining the metal circle.

"Yes." Chen Li nodded.

Chen Li plans to begin his first attempt at refining a rare artifact.

The item that Chen Li had posted on social media, which cost him a lot of crystals and which he thought was already quite perfect, is now outdated.

Well, the main problem is that the price for this rare teleportation item is just too expensive.

However, not all beginner artifacts can't keep up with Chen Li's progress.

The Forced Transaction Gold Coin is a rare item that would be perfect for dealing with Chen Li's current opponents.

After all, normally speaking, there aren't any high-level enemies in Chen Li's beginner dungeon, [Collapse World], that are so powerful that they can escape the control of forced gold trading.

But Chen Li couldn't resist going to the Iron Collapse World to court death.

The merit scales remain relevant even today because what matters is not the scales themselves, but the merit itself.

Even if Chen Li strengthens the Scales of Merit, it will likely only increase the channels through which Chen Li can obtain praise for high moral character.

For example, adding the "joy" entry might allow you to gain merit by watching others have fun.

However, considering that the "Joy" attribute doesn't quite match "Merit" and "Abundance," some rather bizarre chemical reactions might occur.

For example... one could use good deeds to offset the jokes of hell?

“Although this item from WeChat Moments is quite effective, my need for it is growing daily. Watch carefully; I'll only demonstrate once. How much you learn depends on yourself,” Chen Li gestured to Wilvie.

"...I figured even if I completely understood your forging method, I still wouldn't be able to create any extraordinary items, would I?" Velvi retorted.

After learning some of the principles behind Chen Li's creation of wondrous objects, Velvet no longer felt capable of crafting such amazing items. Therefore, Velvet was now more interested in analyzing the crafting table.

Vervi felt that there was still a slight chance of success in imitating the synthesizer.

"That's not how it works. How can a wondrous object be so inconvenient? I'll just forge one that will allow you to create wondrous objects later, won't that be better?"

"Huh?" Virvi was taken aback.

Do you want to hear what you are saying?

Are strange objects really that convenient?

But while Vervi was still in a daze, Chen Li had already begun rebuilding his social circle and was no longer willing to listen to a single complaint from Vervi.

Chen Li threw a large number of crystals into the Miracle Fire.

Although Chen Li felt heartbroken watching this, he knew it was a necessary sacrifice.

As old terms are enhanced and new terms are added, the Moments feed shines ever brighter amidst the flames of miracles.

……

[Moments on WeChat] (One Star): All men are brothers! If we've met, we know each other; if we know each other, we're friends; and if you're a friend, come and help me take a hit on Moments!

Familiar introduction, familiar effects.

Thanks to Chen Li's tireless efforts, all the functions of the Moments feature have been enhanced.

Effect 1: Communication. Now, not only are there no time limits for simulated projection communication, but you can also spend 5 star stones to teleport within this world, or spend 30 star stones to teleport across worlds. Or... you can teleport by clearing your chat history.

Effect 2: Product sales. The shipping fee has been eliminated, or rather, it has been transformed into another type of payment—payment can be made using chat logs shared on social media.

A strange object, isn't it amazing?

Now, "communication" itself has become a form of currency.

Effect 3: Friends received a buff, but there were no substantial changes; they were all about consuming friends to withstand attacks.

Here, Chen Li needs to make a special statement: it's not that Chen Li doesn't cherish his friends, nor is it that he's heartbroken over his crystals, but rather that doing this is really cost-effective.

Please, is there anything more precious (or cheap) than friends?

The newly added effect 4 is the reason for the qualitative change between effect 2 and effect 2.

[Barrage Loading]: "Communication" itself is "value." Every chat message consumed by a friend will be fired as a barrage at enemies in the friend circle. In addition to their inherent attack power, different friends' [barrages] are also affected by the friend's own power nature, resulting in different effects.

Because of this effect 4, every member of the Moments can now see their own Friend Value. Friend Value represents the number of chat records they have. When the Friend Value reaches a certain amount, the Friend Value Shop can be unlocked.

Inside the store, you can buy all sorts of items... such as cool avatar frames, special effects for your social media posts, special fonts, and more.

"I have a strange sense of déjà vu about this 'friendship value'. The word 'friendship' starts with 'p,' so let's just call it 'P-coin,' it's simple and clear."

Because of this fourth effect, Moments has now become a developmental artifact, becoming more powerful as Moments becomes more active and Chen Li's number of friends increases.

Fortunately, the core of the Moments feature hasn't changed fundamentally, so the old chat history is still there, giving the newly added features a basic fighting force right from the start.

"I originally thought that adding the 'complaint' tag to my Moments would give me some kind of protective effect when I'm live streaming on Moments, or that the more complaints viewers make about my live stream, the more I'll receive 'complaint energy feedback' or something like that. I never expected it to be added here..." Chen Li scratched his head as he looked at the effect of the new Moments item.

That's right, it's a [complaint], Chen Li added [complaint].

I even learned some formulas for creating good live-streaming effects from Alicia, but it turned out I didn't need them at all.

However, to be fair, Chen Li felt that using the chat history as delivery fees, or even as bullet comments for shooting, was indeed quite effective, so Chen Li didn't plan to dismantle and remake this strange item.

In short, Chen Li successfully and effectively utilized this吐槽 (tu cao, a type of online commentary) entry from Ah Xu.

"It seems like there's been a huge update to Moments this time." Alicia was looking at the announcement Chen Li had just posted on her Moments device.

"It is indeed a big update, so you guys take your time reading it. I have to go save the world," Chen Li said after stretching.

"So what exactly is this 'saving the world' thing you're talking about?" Vivi, who had just acquired the WeChat Moments terminal, also had doubts.

"I can't say, at least not now, otherwise it won't work," Chen Li shook his head.

"By the way, Sakura, remember to have those higher-ups record and refine all my ideas about fabricating the history of civilization. Even if I disappear temporarily, you must still follow this process and carry it out to the end." This was the order Chen Li gave to Sakura before he left.

“Yes, sir.” Sakura nodded and accepted the order.

As subordinates who were also forced to sell themselves to Chen Li through gold coins, Ying would do her best to carry out Chen Li's orders, and the higher-ups who received Ying's orders would do the same.

The entry for "[Fictional Historian]" is being extracted...

Progress: 1/100 (Progress increases when fictional history is remembered by civilization)

The process of creating a fictional civilization has already begun, and Chen Li is not worried at all about whether he can obtain this entry.

Because Chen Li is about to travel to the present civilization to challenge the Herrscher of the Void.

If Chen Li fails to extract the term "modern civilization" by the time he arrives, he'll travel back in time and torture those high-ranking officials for three days and three nights! Then he'll fine-tune the plan for the fictional civilization.

Chen Li wants to create a world with fictional historians!

"Goodbye everyone. I am about to embark on a long voyage. Is there anything you would like to say to me?" Chen Li asked Vervi, Sakura, and Alicia.

“I don’t know what you’re going to do, but I have a feeling you’re going to do something big? Aren’t you going to say goodbye to Mebius?” Alicia suggested.

"Hmm, you're right. I've been feeling lately that Mebius is completely obsessed with the resurrection ads and hasn't been doing the experiments seriously. If she doesn't do the experiments, how am I going to collect my patent fees? No, I have to go and urge her to update it." Reminded by Alicia, Chen Li remembered this matter.

"I didn't mean goodbye in that sense!"

"Anyway, what you said makes sense. By the way, Sakura, could you go and check if the Houmu doll costume I asked the higher-ups to make out of Soul Steel is finished?" Chen Li said to Sakura.
