Their commission was suspicious.

At least when Chen Luo was in the Collapsed World, the Herrscher of Knowledge was no match for the Quantum Sea, which had the true Quantum Sea as its backer.

“This volunteer had the potential to become a fusion warrior, but unfortunately, he fell short, which is why the surgery took a little longer. Let’s go.” Chen Luo said after returning the third volunteer to the volunteer’s teammate.

The main reason was that after performing surgery on the volunteer, Chen Luo also performed plastic surgery on Lancelot.

"Hua, come here." Seeing Chen Luo's conflicted expression, Alicia led Hua aside and whispered something in Hua's ear.

"Cang Xuan, want to go have lunch together?" Chen Luo asked from the other side.

"No, I want to go home and lie down right now!" Cang Xuan shook his head.

"Alice, let's go..." Chen Luo had just turned around, wanting to take Alice to the cafeteria, when he felt a woman rush into his arms.

Chen Luo glanced down at Hua, who was holding him, and then at Alicia, who was secretly laughing beside him...

"Doctor, thank you. You didn't treat me differently because I'm a witch's companion; instead, you accepted me." Hua said, hugging Chen Luo.

"..." Chen Luo clenched his fist at Alicia, out of Hua's sight.

Hua doesn't seem like the type to say these things; these words were definitely taught to her by Alicia.

"Doctor?" Hua, who hadn't received a reply from Chen Luo for a long time, looked up at Chen Luo.

“Hua, actually, from the first moment I saw you, I knew that we would be entangled for the rest of our lives, and neither of us would be able to let the other go, so there’s no need to listen to what Alicia is saying… Also, could you use a little less force? My ribs are about to break.” Chen Luo said with a mournful face.

"Wow, what kind of confession is this? Neither of them will let the other get away with it..." Alicia covered her mouth in surprise.

Cang Xuan, who was standing nearby, immediately covered his ears and ran away.

This is not something Little Cangxuan can understand.

However, what Chen Luo said was true, because the Law Master of Knowledge had never intended to let Chen Luo go.

Xiao Shi can't let go of Chen Luo, and Fu Hua can't let go of Xiao Shi, which means Fu Hua can't let go of Chen Luo.

What a tragic fate.

"Oops, did I hurt you? I'm sorry, Doctor." Hua quickly let go of Chen Luo's arms, looking at him apologetically.

"Showing your belly when apologizing is basic common sense," Chen Luo said, rubbing his lower back.

If Hua were a little bigger, Chen Luo might have an easier time.

When Hua hugged Chen Luo, Chen Luo could feel softness, but not much.

"But..." Hua looked down at her clothes with a troubled expression.

Logically speaking, showing one's belly is not an excessive request.

But today I'm wearing the Fire Moth's combat suit, and the Fire Moth's combat suit is... a bodysuit.

"Stop, stop thinking like that, or you'll be exposed to censored content." Chen Luo didn't dare let Hua continue to overthink.

Hua is truly honest, and his "tool" attributes are maxed out.

If Chen Luo really continues to insist, who knows what kind of crazy things Hua might do.

“Okay, Doctor.” Hua breathed a sigh of relief.

If Chen Luo really insists, Hua might actually use scissors to cut the bodysuit in half and expose her stomach as an apology.

Is it a special custom on the Doctor's side to apologize by exposing one's belly?

Chen Luo looked at Alicia, who was standing next to him with her back turned, covering her mouth and her shoulders shaking, and felt a surge of anger.

Oh my God, I really want to kick your ass with my size 43 foot!

But there was nothing he could do; after all, in the previous civilization, Chen Luo's apparent combat strength was no match for Alicia.

……

"Aili, what's your least favorite food?" Chen Luo asked, standing at the kitchen door after arriving at the luxurious single-person kitchen that Alicia had prepared for him.

Alicia is taking Chen Luo and Aponia to visit Qianjie today, and the main reason for inviting Chen Luo is to cook.

"carrot!"

“…Then let’s have a whole carrot feast today!” Chen Luoxin’s heart tightened instantly upon hearing the ingredients Alicia mentioned.

What a coincidence, I don't like carrots either.

Don't panic, Chen Luo can modify his own consciousness, but Alicia can't!

"That's cruel? Mebius said you don't like carrots either, right?" Alicia was shocked.

It's clear that Chen Luo is ruthless not only to others, but also to himself.

Indeed, those who dare to challenge their own consciousness are ruthless.

"I'll risk my life to accompany you!" Chen Luo thought fiercely.

Today I'm going to make an all-carrot feast, even God couldn't save me, I'm telling you!

“But Mebius doesn’t like carrots either?” Alicia murmured.

"..." Chen Luo's hand, which was holding the carrot, suddenly stopped.

"Do you like eating the Manchu Han Imperial Feast?" Chen Luo asked, turning his head.

"Ah, a Manchu Han Imperial Feast? No need to go to such lengths. Although you'll definitely bring a portion for Mebius after you finish cooking, Mebius isn't really a picky eater. Just make the all-radish feast you originally wanted to make." Alicia waved her hand gently.

"I think we should probably consider Aponia. Aponia might not like carrots." Chen Luo tossed the carrot aside.

"Really, it's not necessary. I asked around, and Aponia actually likes carrots. Although Mebius doesn't like whole carrot feasts, and neither do I, I think I can put up with it. Besides, I suddenly feel like challenging myself today." Alicia raised her little fist, as if cheering herself on.

"..." After realizing that Alicia had no intention of letting him down the steps she had laid out, and was even constantly dismantling them for him, Chen Luo's face turned cold.

"How about this then? We'll have a Manchu Han Imperial Feast, and you can have a carrot feast. Don't worry, I'll definitely make the carrots taste delicious. Based on what you said, you should be able to put up with it, right?"

"Huh? I think you don't need to go to all that trouble. You should just make a full Manchu Han Imperial Feast." Alicia was a little flustered.

"No trouble at all. Didn't you want to challenge yourself? Well, as your best friend, I'll naturally grant your wish," Chen Luo sneered.

"No, no need."

"It's okay, I can do it."

"...Alright then, Lolo, let's put the carrot thing behind us. As compensation, I can tell you a little insider information."

"Not interested." Chen Luo took the carrot back, and also took a few more.

"Rumors about the sudden appearance of a Möbius suitor in The Moths of Fire."

Alicia originally planned to snatch the carrot from Chen Luo's hand while he was distracted after hearing the news, but Chen Luo didn't seem to react.

"Give me a response!" Alicia nudged Chen Luo.

"Ha, if Mebius had any suitors, Kevin would be flirting with respectable women."

Alicia's statement is so unbelievable that even Gretsch doesn't believe it.

Perhaps only people with extremely complex personalities would like Möbius?

“Hey, Mebius, what brings you here? Let me tell you, Lolo just told me…” Alicia said, turning her head.

"Snap!" Chen Luo slammed the knife into the cutting board.

"Wow, a carrot carving? Luo Luo's knife skills are pretty impressive." Alicia praised Chen Luo, who presented her with a carrot carving to shut her up.

The carvings are indeed beautiful, but praising them would be insincere.

"Just tell me what you'd like for lunch," Chen Luo said expressionlessly.

"I want Lolo to feed me..." Alicia picked up the carrot flower and moved closer to Chen Luo.

“Alice…” A cold glint flashed in Mebius’s eyes as he stood at the kitchen door.

"Hmph, of course I was just joking. Anything is fine as long as it's not a carrot." Alicia smiled smugly as she looked at Chen Luo and Mebius, whom she had completely manipulated.

[Ding! You have a new request!]

"What's for lunch?" Watching Alicia's departing figure, Möbius walked to Chen Luo's side, picked up an apron, and wrapped his arms around Chen Luo from behind.

Wear an apron and don't overthink it.

Yes, it's normal to hug your arms for a while after wearing an apron and feeling tired.

A rare moment of time just for the two of us.

After giving the Herrscher of Knowledge a "blind spot" treatment, Chen Luo said, "The Manchu Han Imperial Feast and... Alicia's customized carrot-flavored Manchu Han Imperial Feast."

Chapter 995 Qianjie, who eats two bowls of food, and Aponia, who complains (Bonus Chapter)

"Wow, it looks delicious!" Alicia waited anxiously outside the kitchen, just like a husband waiting outside his pregnant wife's operating room.

Only after seeing the dishes in the transparent insulated box in Chen Luo's hand did Alicia breathe a sigh of relief.

The babies were born safely—sextons!

"This is for you." Chen Luo handed a pink insulated box to Alicia.

Alicia breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the dish in the transparent insulated box that clearly wasn't carrots.

Sigh, I didn't expect Chen Luo to still know how to care about people.

Although I did something a little too much to him, Chen Luo didn't turn my vegetable into a carrot, did he?

Thank goodness.

In Chen Luo's hands were meals for six people: Chen Luo, Mebius, Alicia, Aponia, Hua, and Qianjie.

"I have an experiment to do this afternoon, so I'll be leaving now." Möbius took his lunch and left.

After talking with Chen Luo, Mebius learned that Chen Luo and the others were going to find Qian Jie, so he didn't linger.

A thousand tribulations? I'm really not familiar with that.

If the other party is willing to cooperate with the experiment, Mebius wouldn't mind talking to him a bit more.

"Are we heading to the deepest parts of the world? It's not like we're going on a picnic..."

The only normal person among them—Hua Xiaosheng—said.

Bringing a lunchbox to meet friends for a meal sounds like a picnic, but the thought that the location might be the most dangerous place for moths to fly makes one shudder.

That's the deepest part!

A prison personally built by Vilvi to hold serious criminals and villains, from which there is absolutely no escape.

According to information released by the higher-ups of the Fire Moth organization, the prisoners held inside are a group of extremely wicked people.

"The Deepest Abyss isn't such a scary place. When Velvi built it, she even invited me to visit," Alicia said.

"And the people inside don't need to be too afraid, even though the higher-ups say they're a bunch of extremely wicked people..." Alicia hesitated before continuing.

The deepest depths are indeed the darkness buried by humankind.

Although the Fire Moths are not a conventional organization that deals with humans, their primary responsibility is to combat Honkai Beasts. However, precisely because of this, the Fire Moths can only come into contact with and deal with the darkest aspects of humanity.

No matter how fierce a prisoner is, once they reach the deepest place, they can only become as docile as a lion with its teeth pulled out.

However, humanity's darkest side is not only about vicious prisoners, but also about things that humanity tries to hide.

For example, nameless "heroes," having lost their intrinsic value, but since the moths chasing the flame cannot return them to their ordinary lives, can only be left to obediently remain in the deepest depths.

Therefore, the deepest depths reveal the true dark side of humanity.

While these elements may be present, the deepest parts are certainly not a place a normal person should go.

However... none of you here are normal people.

Of course, more importantly, Chen Luo and the others were going to visit Qian Jie!

Although the Thousand Tribulations only reached the deepest point for a short period, one can imagine...

……

The noisy and malicious footsteps stopped in the darkness. Even though the group of people holding light sources walked through the deepest place as if on a picnic, none of the most vicious prisoners in the deepest place dared to step into the light source.

Besides the fact that someone who can walk so freely in the deepest places must be no ordinary person, there is also the man they are visiting.

The man who sat silently in his own prison cell, yet made everyone in the deepest recesses of the earth unwilling to approach him.

"Wow, I didn't expect that after just a few days, Qianjie, you've become the top courtesan in the deepest place?" Chen Luo knocked on the railing.
