I am doing evil in the collapsed world

Mebius nodded heavily. "It's okay. Some researchers also like to do some odd jobs occasionally before conducting research. It's important to adjust your mindset."

Xia hesitated for a moment, "I may not be able to give a satisfactory answer."

Mebius: "I believe you. This formation is a brand new system for us. As long as you hand it over, I will definitely be satisfied."

Xia Kuanxin was relieved.

Xia: "I also occasionally try other businesses to make a little money."

Mebius: "This is my supplementary gold card. At Fire Moth, as long as the annual expenditure does not exceed 10 million Mu Yuan, it will be fine."

Every founder of the Fire Moth has something that Mebius usually spends every year on purchasing materials. Even if he exceeds the limit, it will not cause any waves in the parliament. After all, everyone exceeds the limit, it’s just a matter of how much he overspends.

The action of Mebius standing upright to take out the supplementary gold card made her white coat fit closer, and the proportion of her waist and hips looked more perfect. It was very beautiful. It was a bit hard to put into words, but it really resembled the waist-to-hip proportions in those highly photoshopped pictures of beautiful women that Xia had seen on short videos.

As for their highly photoshopped pictures, for Mebius, even a white coat can look seductive, not to mention photoshopped ones.

Xia wasn't sure whether it was Mobius's waist and hips or the supplementary gold card in her hand that was so attractive. Maybe it was the supplementary gold card in Mobius' hand that made her look more beautiful.

Xia took the supplementary gold card, feeling a little lost, but didn't want to use it anymore.

Paris is a gigolo, something like that is impossible for a man like him who came back from the ancient times from the Demon Realm.

Having stayed in the Demon Realm longer than in modern times, Xia even felt it was shameful to use a woman's dowry, not to mention that he hadn't even had a romantic relationship, but was just a subordinate and used the leader's gold card to spend money.

If it was a man, Xia would have accepted it against his conscience, but if someone used a woman's money to improve himself, Xia felt that was the same as his master.

For years, people in the Demon Realm have been saying that his master is a gigolo, but when it finally comes to him... If Mobius is older than him, Xia would feel better, but Mobius looks to be only twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, and Xia feels like he is trying to trick a young girl into spending money on him.

Xia took the supplementary gold card in his hand and looked at it for a few seconds before returning it. "I don't need it for now. I'm not so poor as to spend a girl's money."

After returning the supplementary gold card, Xia felt as if he had accomplished some kind of achievement. Besides... he had already reached the seventh level, the Venerable Realm. What could those few things in the Mobius Card do for him? How many materials could he buy with them?

If the money was increased a hundred times, or if Xia was still at the third level, Xia would have accepted it while saying that his master was a gigolo, but for this little money, he really couldn't bend his back.

Mebius: "Keep the card for now. Even if you don't need it to buy materials, it's still enough for daily expenses. I have the main card, and I have the money."

The First Research Institute is still a research institute after all, and it is the first research institute of the Fire Moth. Even if the money is deducted, it cannot make up for the small number of people in the First Research Institute. There must be enough money. Otherwise, how could Mobius have persisted in the Fusion Warrior Project and the experiment of making humans immortal for so long.

Xia thought about it and decided to grow some hair for humans, make some hair growth water and sell it to earn some money for Mebius' research, which would be enough to offset the 10 million Mu Yuan he earned every year.

Giving money to each other doesn't count as being a gigolo.

Xia: "Mei, please get me some human scalps so I can study them."

Mei immediately entered the working state, "Do you want one from a hundred years ago or modern times? I may need to apply for one for modern times."

Xia: "A hundred years ago? A scalp from a hundred years ago can still be found today... Oh, it's from America, right? No problem, anything from a hundred years ago will do."

Xia snapped his fingers. As a dignified demon cultivator and array master at the Venerable Realm, he was making hair growth water. He should set a small goal first and finish it within a day.

"Are you going to get back to work so soon? You're not going to take a day off."

Mebius was surprised for a moment, then spoke as he saw Mei going to her warehouse to look for scalps.

Xia: "I need to produce some results first before I can rest. Otherwise, I'll just be a gigolo."

Mei became Xia's assistant in a short time. She didn't understand how Xia operated, but he did this and that, and the next day he said he succeeded, and then took out a... bloodstained teacup?

Xia took the teacup and placed it in front of Mebius. "Pour water into this teacup, and it will become hair growth water when you pour it out. But you need to give the water half a minute to react. The longer the reaction time, the better the hair growth effect."

"What are you doing with this thing?"

Mebius was confused. She thought Xia was researching some advanced biotechnology, which was why he looked so serious yesterday. But it turned out to be hair growth?

Xia: "To make money."

Xia said casually, sitting in front of Mebius' seat.

Mebius: "You can't make money with this. I can also make hair tonics, but there are so few bald people. I don't think sales will be very good."

Xia thought Mebius was so stupid. She said seriously that hair growth water couldn't make money, as if she was telling the truth. Xia couldn't help but rub her hair, even though Mebius's hair was already messy enough.

"Silly child, do you know what the most profitable things for humans are?"

Silly, silly child?

Mebius was not bothered by Xia's question, but by the way Xia addressed her. Her heartbeat quickened, causing Mebius to raise her hand and remove Xia's hand from her head.

Mebius: "What a foolish child."

Xia: "Strengthening yang, promoting hair growth, and giving birth to children—those three things are incredibly effective in people's daily lives. And guess what, I happen to have some of them."

Xia then showed Mebius his grand blueprint. He had not brought it out when he was in school because he did not have the capital or the support of experts. Even if he had brought it out, it would have been imitated by others.

Now with the support of Mobius and the world's largest medical organization, Fire Moth, it will definitely make a lot of money.

Mebius: "Ah, this"

Xia: "I can adjust whether you want a boy or a girl. I can choose a cute daughter or a naughty son."

Blanca just opened the door when she heard the second half of Xia's words. Looking at Mebius's bewildered expression, Blanca didn't know whether to go in or out. "Um... am I here at the wrong time?"

Xia: "No, you came at the right time. I was talking to Mebius about the future."

Blanca: "Are we going to talk about a basketball team or a football team? I think this topic should be put off until we have some free time. Sorry, Axia, it's not time to rest yet."

Seeing Blanca come in, Mebius breathed a sigh of relief. "Asha, can this kind of cup be mass-produced? If there is only one, then the hair growth water may not be able to take care of ordinary people."

Xia: "I've already done some research and can build a few more."

Xia was in a very good mood. After all, he finally didn't have to earn small amounts of money from writing books and singing. Now that he was at the Venerable Realm, it was time to start some business. Otherwise, he wouldn't even be able to maintain a larger formation.

Mebius: "Then build a few more. I'll use my company to promote them, and all the profits will be yours."

Xia: "I'll just take one-third. After all, it's thanks to your fame and the support of the Fire Moth."

Xia thought that Blanca might have something to do with Mebius. Blanca was standing at the door, and Xia didn't want to talk to Mebius for long, so he went out.

In the past two days, he also noticed that Mebius didn't seem to eat seriously. Alas, why did he only meet problem girls? Xia was still hoping that Mebius could live a few more years. After all, this girl was pretty good.

After Xia left, Blanca closed the door. Mebius smiled and said, "Do you feel that Xia is like a patriarch? He has only been here for two days and he is already ready to take care of us."

124

Chapter 124 It seems that I have come to the right place.

Blanca placed the documents she was holding on Mebius's desk. "This is our income and expenditure report for this month. The Fire Moth's finance department has cut our funding by another 0.7 percent, citing health concerns. The logistics department rejected our application for human experiments on criminals."

Blanca sat down next to Mebius, poured herself a glass of water, and drank it down in gulps. She looked quite unhappy. "Isn't it ridiculous that they actually said this was immoral?"

Mobius: "...That's nothing strange. Morality is always about being lenient with oneself and strict with others. If they treat other people's morality the same as their own, then what's the point of them fighting so hard to reach the top of the Fire Moth?"

Mebius just thought it was funny and didn't think it was abnormal. Although she herself was not like that, she still used these words to comfort Blanca and told her not to be so angry.

Blanca: "Forget about the fusion warrior experiment for the entire month. We don't have anyone who can do the experiment. Just stay quiet and make hair growth water with Xia. Next month, I'll try to use some connections to see if I can get some back from Mu Continent."

Mebius: "Thank you."

"You're welcome. I'm about to retire anyway, so I'll just help you out one last time. My daughter needs to start school soon, and that's going to be a lot more troublesome. I can't stay at the institute full-time and work ten hours a day. The best I can do is help you occasionally."

Blanca has been with Mebius for several years, from before she met Hen until now when her child is about to go to school. When talking about leaving, Blanca is still a little sad, but there is nothing she can do about it. People always have to abandon their ideals and face reality. Blanca has finally reached the age to face life.

Mebius was silent. Blanca said, "Occasionally, on Saturdays and Sundays, when the kids are out of school, I can bring them over and help you."

Mebius: "No..., it's okay. I wish you a happy life in the future."

Blanca: "Thank you, and I wish you a happy future as well."

Blanca left and left the office. Mebius knew that all good things must come to an end, but when he really had to face Blanca's departure, Mebius still found it hard to accept it.

Not only Mebius, but Blanca was also a little reluctant and leaned against the wall outside the office. Although separated by a wall, the two of them felt roughly the same.

Xia was drinking an iced drink. They actually sold some sweet drinks at the Fire Moth, but there were also some local drinks from the Mu Continent. Xia wanted to try those local drinks first to see if they tasted good.

Xia walked back to the institute with bags of drinks and saw Blanca outside Mebius' office, looking melancholy. He handed her a bottle of room-temperature red date-flavored drink and said, "Are you feeling down, Ms. Blanca? Tell me what happened. Maybe I can help you."

Blanca took the drink, opened it and took a sip. It tasted sweet, but she still felt melancholy. After all, Xia had only been here for a few days, and she had said that she wanted to retire, which would definitely make Xia feel that the First Research Institute was not doing well.

"The Fire Moth rejected my application for human prisoner experiments, so I'm a little disappointed. We won't be able to conduct the Fusion Warrior experiment this month."

Blanca said in a lost tone.

As Blanca had helped clean his house and cooked delicious meals, Xia didn't think this was a particularly serious problem.

"Just before buying drinks, Hua told me she wanted to make some dragon men."

Xia said casually, a smile on his face as he drank his ice drink.

Blanca: "But we have no one to experiment with."

Xia nodded. "If we can't turn humans into Houkai beast-like creatures, can't we turn Houkai beasts into human-like creatures?"

Hua wanted to create a few little dragon men, saying that when the dragon men died, he could absorb the vitality of the little dragon men to cause greater power and less damage to himself.

Xia looked at the content about creating little dragon men in Hua Cheng Long Jue and found that it was about turning dragon monsters into humanoid creatures, sixty-centimeter-tall little dragon men with horns and a big tail.

If you can't find a dragon creature, you can use Hua's blood and monsters to create a similar effect.

We can't make humans become like Honkai beasts, but can't we make Honkai beasts become like humans?

After hearing what Hua said, Xia immediately came to find Mebius with a drink, but saw Blanca, who looked lost, at the door.

Blanka: "Honkaimon...become a human?"

Xia: "A rather magical method that can be used for mass production. However, the little dragons created only listen to Hua, so it can be considered controllable."

Blanca had never thought about turning a Honkai beast into a human. Looking at Xia's expression, it seemed as if he had already determined that it would succeed, and he spoke so relaxedly.

Blanca: "You can give it a try if you think it's appropriate. You can use anything in the institute freely."

Xia smiled and shook his head. "That's not mine, it's Hua's. I only helped her to borrow the materials from the First Research Institute because Hua is too shy."

Xia lifted the drink in his hand and gave Blanca a way out as if it was very heavy. "Do you want to sit down and talk somewhere else? After all, this bag of drinks in my hand is quite heavy."

Blanca smiled and didn't agree, but followed Xia to the rest area of the First Research Institute.

"The top management at Fire Moth is pretty good. Many assistants wanted to recruit me to work under them, but I rejected them all."

Xia found a chair and sat down and put the drink next to him. This was his drink for three days.

"Are all people good people in your eyes?"

Those senior assistants of Fire Moth have become good people in Xia's mouth. Ha, I don't understand what Xia is thinking.

Xia: "I don't think being a good person is a fixed number. It's about comparison. Those who treat me well are good people, no matter how they treat others. Those who treat me badly are bad people. Similarly, I don't care how good they are to others."

Xia took the straw and turned it in the ice drink cup. The ice cubes collided without making any sound. It was really comfortable to drink an ice drink in the hot summer.

Blanca: "In my opinion, the only person who can be considered a good person among the Fire Moth's top management is Dr. Spasi. The others all have some dark spots."

Xia: "Isn't Dr. Mobius a good person too?"

Blanca: "...from my perspective, yes, from an outsider's perspective."

Blanca shook her head and said nothing, but the smile on Xia's face grew even wider.

Xia shrugged and took a sip of his iced drink, "Then it seems I've come to the right place."

Blanca: "What?"

Xia: "I mean, this way I can do whatever I want without any worries."

There is no need to hide anything with Mebius.

Xia: "I met your husband. He's a very nice young man, though a bit frivolous. But he's also a good man, isn't he? Someone killed the Second Herrscher before the Fire Moth. Is there something similar to this in the Second Herrscher's body?"

Xia took out the Herrscher Core from his pocket and shook it. Blanca was almost confused by Xia's sudden change of subject, but after seeing the Herrscher Core in Xia's hand, her pupils shrank slightly and she looked shocked.

"Herrserker Core, where did you get this?"

Xia retrieved the Herrscher Core. "I found it from the corpse of the Third Herrscher. It's my trophy, I guess. I think I should hide it, but considering this world has already experienced three Honkai eruptions, I should have three Herrscher Cores like this... right?"

"The First Herrscher Core is currently at the Fifth Science and Technology Department. They're researching Honkai Disease. After all, it was a product of the Herrschers during the first Honkai outbreak. The Second Herrscher Core should be in Mobius's treasure chest. If you'd like to research it, you can ask Mobius for it."

Blanca shook her head. Most researchers really didn't want to touch the Herrscher Core. After all, each Herrscher had at least hundreds of thousands of people buried with them when it was born, and at most tens of millions of people. Without Mobius's selfless dedication to science, few people would risk being criticized to study this thing.

Blanca: "Not long after the Second Herrscher's death, Dr. Mobius stole the body back, dissected it, and kept the Herrscher Core."

It was also from that time that Dr. Mebius's reputation began to plummet uncontrollably.

Fire Moth still wanted to take back the Second Herrscher Core, but Blanca and Mobius thought that since it had been stolen and scolded, it would be in vain if he returned it. So he simply gave it up and threw it into Mobius's treasure chest.

There are many things in Mebius's treasure chest, including the first gift she received in her life - a teddy bear doll when she was three years old, the first thing she invented when she was six years old, the first photo she took, and many other things that had a profound impact on her in the first half of her life.

But most of them are toys and USB flash drives.
