The Artifact Forger from the Beginning of Collapse

Is this a benefit? Isn't this torture?

"Speaking of which, I think I could rent out my friend slots. After all, friends should definitely pay for something like this where they can get double experience points at the same time," Chen Li thought to himself.

"Wait, do you mean that in the future you'll summon our projections to help you fight, and we'll have to pay for it?" Alicia covered her forehead, trying to understand Chen Li's words.

"I'll definitely not charge for helping me fight, but I'll have to pay if I want to participate in the double experience event. And because it's in the trial phase, there are limited spots available," Chen Li explained.

"...You're a genius! But I think this business of yours will fail. How could anyone possibly pay for this? Don't you all agree?" Alicia waved her hand, clearly expressing her skepticism about Chen Li's business.

“Indeed.” Mebius nodded.

“No problem.” Velvi agreed as well.

"How could anyone possibly pay to provide an assist?"

Seeing these people confidently expressing their pessimism about their business, Chen Li thought that his business really had no future... If it weren't for the constant vibration in Chen Li's private chat channel, Chen Li would almost have believed it.

【Pink Fairy】: Please reserve a double experience card slot for me, thank you.

[Green Twisty Snake]: I want a double experience card slot.

[Engineer with 100% participation rate]: I want to participate in the double experience event. I'll owe you Star Stones for now, and I'll pay you back with double experience later. Don't ask me who the "double" event is.

Chapter 152 Guide to Forging Rare Items: My Code Takes Priority Over Yours!

"...Alicia, didn't you say there was no way anyone would pay for this business? Why are you here too?"

"You ask me? I'd like to ask you why you're here? Möbius, didn't you say you had a very important surgery to perform?"

"You guys are so despicable!"

"Vilvie, how dare you talk to us like that? Didn't you say you were going to work hard in the Engineering Department, find a way to get rid of Chen Li, the Engineering Department Minister who only occupies the position but doesn't do any work, and then climb to the top of the Moth Chaser?"

"Yes, I'm working hard in the engineering department right now, but what does that have to do with my projector?"

“Yes, I am indeed performing a very important surgery. But I also think exploring other worlds is important.”

"Hmm, why didn't Qianjie come? Could it be that Qianjie is the only honest person here?"

"That's outrageous! You guys just bully honest people!"

"Don't laugh at someone who's only slightly better than you. You're not much better than the rest of us, really."

"Don't say that. I'm seeking Chen Li's advice on forging techniques, which is quite serious."

"Believe it or not!"

"By the way, did any of you suddenly get an extra personal panel?"

"Have."

"I originally thought this was a personal panel that Chen Li set up just for me, but I didn't expect everyone to have one..."

"So, what are your professions?"

"I am a Valkyrie and... Herrscher." Seeing the two classes on her character panel, Alicia was a little confused.

Alicia knew she was special when the predecessor of the Flame Chaser searched her orphanage. Her travels around the world at a young age further reinforced her belief that she was special, but Alicia still couldn't be sure that she was really a Herrscher.

Although he had already clearly learned about this reality from the online encyclopedia link provided by Chen Li, this was the first time he had so intuitively realized that he was a Herrscher.

Of course, Alicia does not reject her identity as a Herrscher.

“A Herrscher? Alicia, I think you need to come to my lab for a thorough physical examination.”

"Let's leave it at that, Dr. Möbius. Unless..."

"Unless what?"

"Unless you're willing to wear the pink dress that Chen Li kindly provided."

"Hmph, fine, if you don't want to, then forget it."

"Is this condition really too much to ask?" Alicia pondered.

"What is your profession, Mebius?" Velvi asked.

"...The demon scientist."

"Hahaha!" Vilvi laughed without any restraint after getting the answer.

"You're laughing so happily. So what's your profession?"

"genius."

"Yes, yes, I know you're a genius, so what's your profession?" Mebius nodded perfunctorily.

Those who can be considered scientists and thus join the ranks of the Thirteen Heroes—aren't they all geniuses?

Although there were only two scientists among the Thirteen Heroes: Mebius and Vervière.

Su is a doctor.

"My profession is 'genius.' Envious, aren't you? Although I prefer the title 'heroic genius.' But unfortunately, I don't have that title," Wilvi said with great regret.

“Hmm…” Mebius looked at Vervies with suspicion.

Mebius did not doubt that Vervie was a genius, but he did not believe that Vervie's profession itself made her a genius.

Based on Alicia's observations, and considering Mebius's own profession, Mebius could probably conclude that everyone's profession is their identity in their original world.

It's a very interesting world where people treat their identity as a profession.

“So, dear guardian, can you see our occupation details?” Möbius asked as he walked up to Chen Li.

Mebius's guardian is Chen Li, and Mebius believes that the other guardians are the same.

"Okay." Chen Li nodded.

Just as Chen Li, as Jing Liu's guardian, can see her profession and level, so too can the likes of Sirin, Mebius, Alicia, and Velvet, who were brought to this world by Chen Li.

Chen Li could see that Wilvi's profession was not that of a genius, but rather that of a "fraudster".

However, on the other hand, Vilvi's public statements are quite consistent with the behavior of a fraudster.

"Why ask Chen Li? If you want to know my profession, why don't you just look at it?" Velvi summoned her profession panel without changing her expression and showed it to Mebius.

Möbius thus saw Vervière's profession—[genius].

"Do you believe me now?"

"Okay." Mebius said, admitting he was truly exasperated by the lousy judgment criteria of this panel.

Why is he considered a demon scientist while the other person is a genius?

Chen Li was truly impressed by Wilvi's skill in deception.

You can even fake a job panel, right?

Then you are this one (thumbs up).

At the same time, Chen Li watched as Wilvi's level went directly from lv0 to lv2.

Clearly, besides Chen Li's companions, the fraud brought Vervi a considerable amount of experience points.

“I love this world; as long as you work hard, you will be rewarded,” Virvi suddenly said.

What have you been trying to achieve?

"Never mind that. Anyway, Xiao Li, can you think of a way to keep this panel on your WeChat Moments?" Velvi asked.

“Well… I’ll have the little elf try it out later,” Chen Li agreed.

However, barring any unforeseen circumstances, Chen Li will likely need to add the entry first.

"…Don't give me any more work. I'm already going bald from fixing bugs in WeChat Moments."

"Alright, I've finished looking at my world. What do you think? Like I said, it wasn't very interesting, was it?" Chen Li said to everyone.

Chen Li originally intended to take everyone to the Immortal Ship, but some people expressed a strong interest in the world Chen Li was in.

"Isn't this personal panel quite interesting?"

“You’re projections now, so you can’t bring your experience back… No, maybe you really can, because the clever logic of a friend’s support projection is to feed back the memories and experience you gained when you were summoned.” Chen Li suddenly gasped.

Normally, unless it's a permanent improvement in physical attributes due to leveling up, the personal panel level will remain in Chen Li's world after going to another world, and will not be brought back to the other world.

However, the friend summoning logic in the Oddity Forging Guide is to pass on the memories and experience gained by the projection to the friend.

that……

"As expected, it actually worked. You guys actually got personal panels by exploiting a bug... although they're pretty badly incomplete." After Chen Li sent back and then summoned back the only one among them who had raised her level to 2, he came to this conclusion through Velvie.

What's this wave called? This wave is called "My code takes priority over yours!"

Jingliu's personal panel could not be saved, purely because Jingliu suffered a loss not from Chen Li's friend, but from being summoned by Pale Justice.

"However, it's a shame that the panel is incomplete, only showing the profession, experience level, and profession traits. I'll upgrade the social circle later to solve this problem," Chen Li said.

The Moments feature, as a rare item, is not low-level; it just lacks the corresponding functions. The Moments terminal could be transformed into a virtual panel, perhaps used to load personal panels for this world. We can just open an interface for it later.

In Chen Li's opinion, the fact that Mebius and Alicia's personal panels didn't have guardians was like having a wife cake without a wife—completely soulless!

How can Chen Li control them now?
