The Artifact Forger from the Beginning of Collapse

172

After Chapter 172, "Lost," they encountered the Void Envoy, Huang Quan.

"It's Hanabi! Ms. Hanabi has stated that she will take responsibility for the series of events." Chen Li's expression was serious, his gaze solemn, but he was saying things that were incomprehensible to others.

Wake up! Hanabi hasn't conceded defeat in her 1v1 battle against the God of Joy in the Octagon yet, so you can't put all the blame on her.

Oh, so that’s how it is?

"Fireworks? Who is that? Come to think of it, this is the first time I've seen your true face, Master Blacksmith." Estella tilted her head.

"Just take a look yourself, don't spread my image around," Chen Li said.

"Ok."

"Don't listen to his nonsense. In short, Estella, forget everything you just saw," said the elegant and poised lady sitting on the sofa, sipping her tea.

“Yes, Ms. Black Tower. May I ask what brings you to the Black Tower Space Station in person?” Estella asked somewhat nervously.

Even though Estelle was incredibly wealthy, she still seemed so ordinary compared to the achievements of the Lady of the Black Tower.

"Don't be nervous, Estella, you did a great job. I just came here to..."

"Let's establish a crown prince," Little Black Tower (The Unique Black Tower) suddenly said.

"The Crown Prince?" Estella was taken aback.

“That’s right, remember me. I am now the Crown Prince of the Black Tower Space Station. I am a Black Tower Doll with a machine soul, and besides the Great Black Tower Lady, I am a rational Black Tower Doll recognized by the Black Tower Lady,” Little Black Tower explained.

"Ugh?"

“Of course, I am still the Black Tower Doll, just a little special, so you, Estádio, will still be in charge of managing the Black Tower Space Station and such. I just wanted you to know the subtle differences between me and Lady Black Tower,” the little Black Tower continued.

"Lady Black Tower..." A somewhat bewildered woman turned to Lady Black Tower for help.

Could this be a prank by that damned Masked Fool?

"Listen to her, that's a rather interesting way to address someone." The Great Black Tower nodded elegantly and calmly.

The Little Black Tower is equipped with the personality mapping module installed by the Big Black Tower. The reason why the Little Black Tower is so different from ordinary Black Tower dolls is mainly due to the slight influence of the machine soul.

The machine spirit will not necessarily cause the puppets to rebel; it will only give them the ability to make judgments.

While this may not necessarily be a bad thing, the Great Black Tower doesn't care.

As long as the personality mapping module is still functioning normally, the Big Black Tower is looking forward to seeing what the Little Black Tower can do next.

“Yes, Ms. Black Tower, I’ll go and announce it right away.” Estella nodded.

"No need to announce it, you can keep it to yourself." But Little Black Tower shook his head.

“Okay…Ms. Little Black Tower.” Estella scratched her head and came up with this title.

"Estella, go back to your work."

"Well, goodbye Lady Black Tower, goodbye Mr. Curious Craftsman, goodbye Ms. Ruan Mei, goodbye Little Lady Black Tower." Aista bowed slightly and then left the room.

"Tell me, little one, why do you want this title of Crown Prince?" After Estádio left, the Great Black Tower asked the Little Black Tower with great interest.

"How can there be a prince who only lasts 50 seconds! Chen Li, join me in rebelling against the Great Black Tower!" Little Black Tower suddenly raised his arms and shouted.

"You're already thinking about usurping the throne after just 50 seconds?" Chen Li snapped at the little black tower with a flick on the forehead.

"Just kidding. Everyone knows about the Great Black Tower's stunning beauty and exceptional intelligence, but my uniqueness shouldn't go unnoticed either," the Little Black Tower explained.

"Makes sense."

“Since everyone is here, I’ll go into the trash can one more time. After my time in the trash can is up, Chen Li, you can send me back,” the Big Black Tower said.

"No problem, but I have to remind you. Even if this trash can doesn't have the power to imprison you, you might not be able to get out if you sit directly on it, but you can get out normally if you squat down inside."

"Magic can solve everything." The Great Black Tower dismissed Chen Li's reminder with disdain.

……

"Chen Li, Ruan Mei, help me up."

"...Big Black Tower, are you kidding me?"

"How do I know this trash can will automatically block all attacks? And even prevent me from using magic?"

"Because they're afraid someone might attack the trash can because they can't escape its confinement. That's why this trash can is magic-free," Chen Li said helplessly.

"It's all Chen Li's fault, your props always have some weird attributes. Speaking of which... why do I feel like I've been so unlucky after using the Pleasure Dice? Could it be that your Pleasure Dice has some side effect where people other than you would do something irrational after using it?" Da Heita asked uncertainly.

"Oh, it might not be a problem with the Pleasure Dice, it might be a problem with me."

"Your question? What do you mean?"

"It's nothing, you should go back now, Lady Black Tower."

"Although your attempt to change the subject was terrible, I really should go back." The big black tower nodded, then stood up and flicked the little black tower on the head before disappearing with the golden trash can.

The reason why the Great Black Tower is so unlucky is probably because it used up all the joy points of Chen Li's joy dice.

Chen Li didn't mind explaining the problem to Hei Ta, but the logic was very complicated.

Chen Li's transmigrator talent has a passive effect that makes the risks he takes offset by the gains he receives; the bigger the storm, the more valuable the fish! But today, Chen Li encountered a "world-ending crisis," and the only one who benefited was the Little Black Tower; Chen Li's gains were still insufficient.

Because the Great Black Tower has used up all its Pleasure Points, Chen Li is now in dire need of more Pleasure Points to ensure that he doesn't get screwed over by the Pleasure Dice after using it. Therefore, Chen Li is eager to see some fun.

In addition, since the Little Black Tower originally belonged to the Big Black Tower, and it was the Big Black Tower that used up Chen Li's pleasure points, the Big Black Tower became the one being watched for amusement.

Although Daheita is a genius, the transmigrator Fate Vortex has a passive aura that lowers intelligence.

Otherwise, it wouldn't explain why Chen Li always encountered those classic brainless villain characters in the past.

This wave can be described as divine intervention being no match for destiny.

The benefits that Chen Li was entitled to did not disappear; they simply returned to Chen Li in a different form after going around in circles.

It could be a joke, it could be a farce, or it could be...

[A bizarre mechanism! Even more insidious than the Machine Soul!]

"No, the machine spirit is sinister too?"

"Speaking of which, I haven't encountered any unexpected disasters or troubles lately, so I feel a little out of sorts." Chen Li glanced at the restraint bracelet on his left wrist.

The restraint bracelet can restrict Chen Li's abilities, and when the situation is favorable to Chen Li, it can make the restrained abilities more powerful.

Chen Li wasn't a masochist; he was just wondering if the fact that he hadn't been suddenly teleported to a certain place or encountered some major crisis for so long meant that something "big" was waiting for him.

Greater risks mean greater rewards. In addition, Chen Li now has many friends with whom he has deep bonds, as well as resurrection artifacts. Chen Li doesn't know how he could possibly lose.

How much risk can it possibly get?

Even if Chen Li were to face the Silent Lord right now, he was confident that he could break the Silent Lord's defenses five times within three minutes!

Even if he encounters a Star God, he won't panic. Although he is slightly inferior to the Star God in terms of attack power because he doesn't have a God-slaying artifact, as long as he has friendship and bonds, Chen Li will not be inferior to anyone in terms of defense!

If you can't win, you can run away.

Fortune changes every three days, sometimes east, sometimes west!

"Let me save up some money and upgrade this restraint bracelet into a one-star rare item. Ideally, it should allow the transmigrator to passively receive benefits without any risks." Chen Li looked at his remaining 91 crystals and thought it was a good idea.

Is it too much for Chen Li to want to get something for free? No, not at all.

It’s just human nature.

"Black Tower has already let me know he's safe." Ruan Mei said to Chen Li and Little Black Tower after glancing at the message Black Tower sent on her WeChat Moments device.

"Why didn't you let me know you were safe?" Chen Li asked, puzzled.

"Yeah, yeah, why didn't you let me know you were safe?" Little Black Tower was equally puzzled.

“Maybe… it’s because I’m shy?” Ruan Mei smiled.

Ruan Mei couldn't very well say directly, "If I let you two know I'm safe, you two will surely make the peace of the Great Black Tower less peaceful, right?"

You two better know what you're doing!

"It seems the Big Black Tower might not like us too much. Let's go find Haruhi Suzumiya to play with." Chen Li turned to look at the Little Black Tower.

"What do you want to play?" Little Black Tower asked Chen Li.

"Playing Haruhi Suzumiya, it's so much fun to have your wishes come true."

"..." by Little Black Tower.

My guardian, Chen Li, possesses the qualities of a masked fool!

Listen to yourself, are you even speaking human language?

"If you're not going, then I'm going."

"I didn't say I wasn't going! Come on, come on! Ruan Mei, are you coming? The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya is so much fun." The little black tower didn't forget to invite Ruan Mei.

“No, I should go back and watch the commercials.” Ruan Mei shook her head.

"Alright then. Chen Li, wait... wait, where did Chen Li go? Ruan Mei, did you see him?" Little Black Tower turned his head and found that Chen Li had disappeared, and was obviously stunned for a moment.

"I saw it. Chen Li disappeared the moment he stepped through the sensor door."

"I know! He must have teleported near Haruhi Suzumiya to mess with her first! That damned Masked Fool! Chen Li, you're so despicable these days!"
