Despite saying he was fine, Möbius covered his red nose with his hand, tears welling up in his eyes. After his body became younger, his tolerance for pain had also decreased considerably.

The little snake glared fiercely at Alicia, who was snickering to herself. Just you wait, she'll get what's coming to her.

Zhou Si wore a concerned expression, but inwardly she was extremely relieved that her phone's camera was silent; otherwise, she would likely have incurred Möbius's wrath as well.

This is my research mentor; I absolutely have to build a good relationship with him.

"Mébius, it's so good to see you're safe and sound!"

"You seem to be having a very happy laugh."

Mebius sneered, dismissing Alicia's concern with disdain.

Then, looking at Zhou Si beside him, he reached out and pinched his arm, then showed a satisfied expression.

"Very good, then cooperate with my experiment."

"That's no problem, but Dr. Mebius, why don't you explain the situation here?"

Looking at the tiny snake, Zhou Si's last bit of tension and fear had completely vanished.

Mebius tore the white coat that had just tripped him into a suitable length, and then walked up to Lei Honglong.

Haki, who had just been breathing on Alicia, now lowered his head to Mebius like an obedient kitten, letting her small, tender hand stroke his head.

"This is a monster I created using the remaining Thunder Dragon corpse, your cells, and Honkai energy."

Mebius calmly recounted the origins of the monster.

"Wait! My cells???"

Zhou Si noticed the key point in Möbius's words, not that she disliked Möbius using his own cells for experiments.

The main problem is that Zhou Si had never met Mebius before, so where did she get her own cells from?

"You gave it to me yourself."

The monster materials that Zhou Si delivered to Mebius, aside from the portion paid by the guild, were almost all hunted by Zhou Si himself.

At Mebius's insistence, materials were specifically chosen from parts of the monsters that could potentially harm Zhou Si.

Given the sheer quantity, they extracted a considerable amount of Zhou Si's body tissue fragments from them, and if they were lucky, they might even get some high-end items like blood.

While these things weren't enough for Möbius to actually figure anything out, they were always worth trying his luck.

In most cases, those few somatic cells are of no use and have no research value.

But Zhou Si's cells ultimately gave Möbius a huge surprise.

Take, for example, the Thunder Dragon in front of us.

"This guy is the only success story. Although its current power is far less than that of the original body, its growth potential has far exceeded my expectations."

"This is all thanks to you."

The fact that such results could be achieved simply by adding a little bit of Zhou Si's body tissue during the experiment makes Möbius unable to contain his emotions just thinking about the future if he could find the true secrets within Zhou Si's body.

"Be my guinea pig. With you by my side, I'm sure I can find true infinity..."

Möbius slowly walked up to Zhou Si, his voice gradually becoming more excited.

Brockovich brought his mouth close to Zhou Si's ear and whispered in a voice that could only be described as sweet:

"I'm willing to pay any price, as long as you're willing."

Zhou Si looked at Möbius, who was so close to him. He had thought about this question before he came.

First of all, Dr. Mebius has been providing him with tremendous help all along. Regardless of her initial purpose, in the end, Zhou Si has benefited greatly from her.

Secondly, Möbius himself was not a bad person; in fact, among that group of researchers, his high moral standards were almost too unconventional.

At least Zhou Si rarely saw a researcher whose first human experiment subject was themselves.

Out of consideration for others, Mebius had helped Zhou Si a lot.

Logically speaking, Mebius wouldn't do anything immoral, especially since Zhou Si would be keeping a close eye on her.

In conclusion, Zhou Si's answer is quite obvious.

"It's not impossible."

"It's okay if you don't agree, we still have time... what?!"

Mebius exclaimed in surprise, even she herself was very surprised that Zhou Si would agree so readily.

She was quite aware of her reputation; the mere mention of "Mébius" was enough to stop children from crying at night within the Firemoth organization.

Zhou Si clearly couldn't be unaware of how she was perceived by outsiders.

"...Why?"

Although Zhou Si's direct agreement was undoubtedly the best outcome for Mebius, she still wanted to know why Zhou Si had agreed, if it was just because of the few small favors she had done for her before.

He doesn't need to go to that extent.

"Because I believe in Dr. Mebius, and I believe in myself."

Zhou Si's tone was full of confidence. He might not be strong enough now, but he was definitely top-notch in terms of endurance.

“I am somewhat aware of the opinions about you from the outside world, but I still believe more in the facts I have seen myself.”

"You guy..."

Zhou Si's direct remarks left Mebius momentarily speechless; she had never anticipated this scene.

"But then again, Doctor, you still have to agree to a few conditions first."

"You said."

Mebius wasn't surprised. If there were no requirements, then she would have to consider whether there were any traps involved.

Zhou Si's requirements were very simple.

First, Mebius wanted to share all of his research findings with him.

Secondly, he will cooperate with Möbius's experiments and will not interfere with their content. However, Möbius cannot hide the specific purpose of the experiments from Zhou Si, and he will refuse any experiments that go against Zhou Si's wishes.

"There are no other requirements for the time being, but..."

After hesitating for a moment, Zhou Si looked at Mebius and said.

"Dr. Mebius, would you be interested in joining the Hunter's Guild?"

"Hmm↘, hmm↗?"

Before Möbius could react, Alicia, who was listening in, jumped out and raised her hand to ask a question.

"Wait, wait, wait, how did the topic suddenly turn into poaching people?"

"Although I have a good relationship with Zhou Si, I can't hand Dr. Möbius over to you for the time being."

Alicia pulled the little snake into her arms. She had no objection to the research between the two of them, but Zhou Si's poaching was absolutely unacceptable.

Only Alicia and the other warriors fighting on the front lines truly know who among the Firemoths was the one who helped them the most.

The existence of logistics and research departments is the guarantee for these soldiers, even though Mebius has a bad reputation among the Fire Moths.

But everyone knows that she is an indispensable member of the Fire Moth.

"..."

Mebius did not reply, but her silence spoke volumes.

If the pursuit of infinity is her lifelong dream, then defeating the Honkai is her obsession.

"Don't misunderstand, Doctor. What I mean is, how about setting up a lab here as well?"

Zhou Si quickly spoke up to explain, and then told Mebius about the portal.

He wanted to place a portal to another world in Mebius's area, partly to facilitate future visits to the Honkai world.

Another benefit is that with Mebius's help, their research on monster corruption will definitely progress by leaps and bounds.

"no problem."

Mebius agreed without a second thought; it was like a windfall for her.

Zhou Si and Mebius thus reached a pleasant cooperation agreement.

"It's almost time."

Mebius said something out of the blue, and then opened his arms to Zhou Si.

"We should go."

"Wait! What do you mean?"

Alicia exclaimed again, "Didn't we just agree not to switch jobs?"

“I can’t appear in front of those old men like this, and there are some things I need to do by temporarily leaving the Moth of Fire.”

As he explained, Mebius jumped into Zhou Si's arms.

"Then what about me?"

Alicia was so anxious that tears welled up in her eyes. What was she going to do now that Zhou Si and Mebius had run away?

"Blanca will get you out of here."

They left through the secret passage, their eyes filled with the utter death of Alicia.

It almost made it into the top ten of the new book charts, so the reward has been increased! (It's time to take down those who have been patiently nurturing this book!)

The bounty has been settled after more than a week. Thank you all so much for your support! The results are as follows:

Monthly ticket: 467

刀片 : 164

There are a total of 5 chapters. To pay off the debt, I will add 2000 more chapters for every additional 4000 chapters I write per day.

Because the author has a regular job in addition to writing, he is exhausted from working and writing every day. He has only been sleeping about 6 hours a day recently, and he is already feeling a bit numb.

However, it's currently on the new book chart and only needs a little over 120 monthly votes to break into the top ten.

Therefore, it has been decided to extend this bounty until May! Furthermore, the bonus chapters for monthly votes will be reduced, and the following rules will apply:

50 monthly tickets

One chapter for every 10000 donations

100 blades per change

Both have no upper limit, and this might be the author's best chance to get on the new book charts in his life. He's risking his life.

Please, lend me your power!

Chapter 3: We Have Received Professional Training (4k)

On the slightly dirty and messy street, Zhou Si sat at a table by the roadside of a ramen shop. Next to him sat Xiao Xiao She, whose hair had been temporarily dyed black, and called out to the owner inside.

"Boss, two bowls of noodles, please."

"Okay, do you and your daughter have any dietary restrictions?"

"...No"

And where did you get the idea that we're father and daughter?

Zhou Si muttered to himself.

Although Mebius put on a little disguise, did Zhou Si and her have even the slightest resemblance? Apart from both being human.

Mebius, standing to the side, didn't react much, but kept his eyes glued to the tablet in his hand, occasionally raising his head to observe the surrounding situation.

"Guest, your noodles are here. Please enjoy."

"Thank you."

Zhou Si nodded in agreement and then pushed a bowl of noodles in front of Dr. Möbius.

"Doctor, so what are we doing here?"

“Site selection.” Mebius was still looking down at the tablet, but after a few seconds he added, “And just call me Mebius.”
