Chapter 6

【Emotion Points: 245,124】

【Skills: Puppet Summoning, Puppet Recall (No cooldown for short-range recall; 72-hour cooldown for long-range recall.)】

At this time, after letting the Sin Archbishop of Sloth go and cause trouble in the town last time, Lin Cheng’s Emotion Points had already reached over 200,000.

Because Jackal had a self-destruct function, the Sin Archbishop of Sloth had been dragged into mutual destruction by Jackal once.

However, because of the existence of the ten C-rank puppets "Fingertips," the Sin Archbishop of Sloth was able to resurrect.

The subordinate puppets of the A-rank puppet Sin Archbishop of Sloth refresh every twenty-four hours.

As long as the Sin Archbishop of Sloth isn't killed eleven times within twenty-four hours, the Sin Archbishop of Sloth can basically do whatever he wants.

It is equivalent to the Sin Archbishop of Sloth having eleven lives; after wasting ten times, he can hide and wait for twenty-four hours, and after twenty-four hours, he becomes eleven lives again—it is simply unsolvable.

'However, Emotion Points seem to be much more precious than I imagined.'

'The upper limit of Emotion Points for each person is different; although they can be farmed repeatedly, the daily limit is only so much.'

Lin Cheng discovered this yesterday when he was controlling the Sin Archbishop of Sloth to cause trouble.

The people in the small town didn't contribute many Emotion Points to him, contributing at most about 100,000 Emotion Points.

Conversely, the Emotion Points provided by Tartaros were even higher, reaching 140,000.

Originally, Lin Cheng thought Emotion Points were easy to farm; when he finished off the Enhanced Demon Kyôka before, just Kyôka alone contributed nearly 3,000 Emotion Points to Lin Cheng.

Later, there was a wave of tens of thousands of Emotion Points; if there was no accident, it was probably that Underworld King—it was simply a gold mine.

'As for the script, relying on just one A-rank puppet is definitely not enough.'

'However, 240,000 Emotion Points can only allow for two consecutive draws, drawing two guaranteed C-rank puppets.'

'At the very least, I need a B-rank puppet.'

Lin Cheng thought quietly.

At this time, besides keeping the A-rank puppet Sin Archbishop of Sloth and five C-rank puppets "Fingertips" in his system inventory, Lin Cheng had set all the other 105 puppets to artificial intelligence Sage Mode and thrown them out to act freely.

They blended into the small town. ===== CHAPTER 14 =====

As long as the emotions influenced by the puppets are generated, they will be transformed into Lin Cheng’s Emotion Points.

Without extreme behavior, on average, one puppet can bring Lin Cheng 100-500 daily Emotion Points; combined, it can make Lin Cheng’s daily Emotion Point income reach about 20,000 to 30,000.

If Lin Cheng doesn't cause any more trouble, it will take about a month for Lin Cheng to gather 1,000,000 Emotion Points to perform a guaranteed B-rank puppet draw.

If he is lucky and gets another A-rank puppet, then he will truly be invincible.

Time passed, and a month flew by in the blink of an eye.

During this month, Lin Cheng seemed to have no difference from his previous life, as if he had never obtained a golden finger, living a simple daily life with Eclair and Momon every day.

Of course, there were differences.

Lin Cheng was no longer short of money.

After more than a hundred puppets turned on smart Sage Mode, almost all of them found a decent job; except for some basic expenses needed to maintain their personas, the money went into Lin Cheng’s pocket.

This made Lin Cheng think of a joke.

'If you have 100,000 dead soldiers, what would you do?'

'Have them go to a factory that provides food and housing to work, with a monthly salary of 4,000, and I would have a monthly income of 400 million.'

Puppets are almost no different from dead soldiers.

Even if more than a hundred puppets work in remote areas, the total monthly salary is not a small amount.

Eclair and Momon were naturally somewhat suspicious about Lin Cheng suddenly having money.

After all, it wasn't the first time they had known Lin Cheng; having spent a year with Lin Cheng, they knew him somewhat.

Facing the confused Eclair and Momon, Lin Cheng easily laundered his money using the money-laundering methods from his previous life, turning it into so-called legitimate income.

For example, Lin Cheng now opened a small tavern.

Every day, there is always a fixed group of customers who come to consume in batches; these are Lin Cheng’s puppets.

Of course, the puppets acting as "shills" also drove some consumption by local residents, so at Lin Cheng’s small tavern, besides some random puppets coming to consume in their spare time, there were also some local residents with spare money who came to consume.

For a time, Lin Cheng’s newly opened small tavern was actually quite lively.

Lin Cheng himself didn't expect that, driven by the puppets, the business of the small tavern would actually show signs of flourishing.

Originally, Lin Cheng purely wanted to use the small tavern as a place for money laundering in the short term, but he didn't expect that he would actually make the tavern’s business successful.

Eclair and Momon acted as servers in the small tavern; Lin Cheng knew that Eclair didn't dislike the lively living environment every day.

What Eclair truly disliked was the moment when the liveliness dissipated due to irresistible factors.

Late at night, it was time for the tavern to close.

"Wow, so fragrant."

"Lin Cheng, what dish are we eating today?"

Momon looked at Lin Cheng, who was busy in the kitchen, with a hint of moisture at the corner of its mouth, and said expectantly, "The tavern’s business is getting better and better; I don't even have time to eat, I’m almost starving to death."

"Eclair, don't you think so?"

"Hmm..."

Hearing Momon’s question, Eclair replied somewhat absent-mindedly.

From the gaze Eclair occasionally "inadvertently" swept toward the kitchen, it could be seen that Eclair was also quite expectant of the food Lin Cheng was preparing.

"Hahaha, business is good, I can't help it."

"So that’s why I specially prepared new dishes to reward you two."

Hearing Momon’s words, Lin Cheng laughed loudly in the kitchen, and walked out of the kitchen with a few freshly made dishes in his hands, saying, "Come, Teppanyaki Beef, Sweet and Sour Pork Tenderloin, and Braised Pork Ribs!"

"Eclair, don't just sit there."

"Come and taste how my cooking is."

The three dishes, emitting faint heat, were placed on the table in a triangular shape by Lin Cheng.

Before transmigrating, in order to save money on ordering takeout every day, Lin Cheng bought groceries and cooked every day; over time, he naturally developed some culinary skills.

Not to say how amazing they were, but they were quite decent.

And following the falling of Lin Cheng’s voice, Eclair didn't stand on ceremony and directly picked up her chopsticks; although Eclair was still the same, she could already let go of herself in front of Lin Cheng.

No longer like a year ago, ignoring Lin Cheng completely, only helping Lin Cheng when he needed help.

"Very delicious."

This was Eclair’s evaluation of Lin Cheng’s cooking.

After eating and drinking to his heart’s content.

Lin Cheng returned to his room.

【The Strongest Puppet System】

【Host: Lin Cheng】

【Puppets: None】

【Emotion Points: 1,042,487】

【Skills: Puppet Summoning, Puppet Recall】

'Finally reached 1,000,000 Emotion Points.'

'If I use 1,000,000 Emotion Points for a draw, then it’s guaranteed to be a B-rank puppet, and an A-rank puppet is not impossible.'

Looking at the system interface in his mind, Lin Cheng didn't have any hesitation and directly chose to consume 1,000,000 Emotion Points to perform a Golden Draw.

Well, Lin Cheng named the draws for 10,000, 100,000, and 1,000,000 Emotion Points Bronze Draw, Silver Draw, and Golden Draw, respectively. ===== CHAPTER 15 =====
