Their commission was suspicious.

"Is that not allowed?"

[Nonsense, if it were possible, you wouldn't even have had the chance to lock me up in that little dark room!]

"Pity……"

This is truly a pity. Compared to others who can farm commissions, Chen Luo would undoubtedly have a much easier time farming commissions using the user-friendly plugin.

Since wanting to die can be a request, wanting to be put in a dark room is naturally also a request.

[Ding! Mission complete]

"Sakura, the food is here. I'm going out for a bit. Remember to wash the dishes after you finish eating," Chen Luo called upstairs.

"Okay," came Sakura's soft voice from upstairs.

He seemed listless and weak, probably from being a corporate slave.

Dreams are a reflection of reality. Sakura, trapped in the poisonous pupa of the fire-chasing moth, was destined to do the dirty work, which was also probably the most tiring.

Working day and night has become the norm for Sakura, so in her dream, Sakura's identity is that of a corporate slave who works overtime every day.

Because Sakura rarely has time to spend with her younger sister Rin, as she is always working at the Fire Moth, Sakura and Rin are now separated in the dream world as well.

However, despite the fact that we see each other less often than we are together, the number of times we want to meet and the level of happiness at work are still much better than the reality.

Although work itself doesn't offer much happiness.

Living a peaceful life with her younger sister was Sakura's dream all along. Simple, yet beautiful...

After receiving feedback from Sakura, Chen Luo slowly withdrew from the dream he had created.

It's such a shame that the number of shady merchants only increased by one tonight.

It's okay. Once there are more people around, the number of unscrupulous merchants should also increase, right?

Although the things Chen Luo sold in the dream were cheap, those magical gadgets themselves were worthless.

Although the money in the dream was worthless, what Chen Luo actually wanted was not the money in the dream.

After receiving the money in the dream, Chen Luo would come to reality and use the power of the Herrscher of Corruption to take a few dollars from the other party's card.

That's why Chen Luo was too embarrassed to ask for a higher price.

It's one thing to cheat them out of one or two dollars, but to cheat them out of thousands or hundreds of dollars is going too far.

Using real money to buy props in the dream world, how could Sakura and the others possibly make a profit?

It's like spending money on in-game purchases: a little spending is fine, but too much can be harmful.

However, unlike those unscrupulous merchants' games, Chen Luo will return the money to Ying and the others in another way.

As for the Eighth Herrscher server? Ha, what does a server cost?

Chen Luo didn't really care whether this business would be profitable or not, as long as he could get the number of times he could use the unscrupulous merchant.

Once all 13 heroes of the Fire Chaser have arrived at the Golden Garden, it won't be long before Chen Luo is able to collect the 100 times he needs to use the cunning merchant skill.

The Golden Garden is the golden garden of the 13 Heroes!

Chen Luo? Chen Luo is neither the landlord nor a resident of Golden Garden...

Chen Luo is Xiao Hei downstairs! (The all-purpose prop provider)

Chapter 1270 Hua: Please respond to me, Doctor!

"Luo, how is it?"

"The surgery was successful. The patient didn't die, but he also didn't become a fusion warrior," Chen Luo said as he walked out of the operating room.

"I see..." Alicia, who was waiting for the surgery results outside the operating room, nodded without saying anything more.

"Are you tired?" Alicia asked with concern.

"No. I'm fine. But you two don't come to my operating room very often." Chen Luo looked at Alicia and Kevin beside him.

How could Chen Luo be tired? Chen Luo only needs to use the humanization plugin to see if the other party can become a fusion warrior this time. If not, he can just stab him to death and wait for him to resurrect.

That's why Chen Luo had time to go into the dream world to cook for Ying.

The time in the dream is the opposite of the time in reality. It is around noon now, so it is around midnight in the dream.

But Chen Luo was considering whether to adjust the time flow in the dream...

However, it's quite unusual that Kevin and Alicia are here.

Normally, Kevin and Alicia wouldn't have time to wait outside Chen Luo's operating room, especially now that the Eighth Herrscher has appeared but hasn't been accurately located.

These two strongest warriors of the Fire Moth should have been on standby at all times.

Seven days have passed since the birth of the Eighth Herrscher, but because Chen Luo uses time travel to quickly browse the plot, his bar has not yet opened, and he can even stay in the previous civilization for a few more hours.

Over the past seven days, the Eighth Herrscher has become increasingly adept at using her abilities and has learned how to try to find more accurate keywords to put more people into a coma.

Sleeping sickness incidents are now occurring all over the world.

Victims suddenly fall asleep while using the internet and never wake up again; this happens every day.

Although Dr. Spassey of the 5th Research Department conducted research on dreams under Dr. May's orders, the results have been minimal so far.

On the other hand, Moth Chaser uses Prometheus, an artificial intelligence, to analyze the web pages visited by the victims and find frequently occurring keywords for technical blocking.

Whenever the Eighth Herrscher discovers that the words she customized for distortion and contamination have become prohibited words, and that they will turn into ■■■■ as soon as they appear on the Internet, she will continue to change the keywords.

Even if the Eighth Herrscher is incredibly stupid, she would know that there might be an official organization that has already noticed her actions and taken countermeasures.

Therefore, while the Fire-Chasing Moth was searching for the Eighth Herrscher, the Eighth Herrscher was also searching for the Fire-Chasing Moth, beginning to look for keywords to locate the Fire-Chasing Moth.

It hasn't been found yet, but it's only a matter of time.

In the past seven days, nearly 300,000 people have fallen into a coma, and these people suffering from sleeping sickness have overwhelmed hospitals. Although they are still able to continue to treat patients, it will not be long before the hospitals reach their capacity limit.

Those suffering from sleeping sickness who cannot receive help can only die peacefully in their sleep.

For someone like Sakura, who receives ample aid from the Fire Moths and even has a life pod to sustain her life, staying for another month would be perfectly fine.

A sleeping person is no different from a person in a vegetative state, is he?

Because things are becoming increasingly urgent, Chen Luo has increased his daily surgeries from four to five.

Each fusion surgery focuses on psychic-sensory fusion warriors.

“You seem to want to say something to me. Go ahead and say it,” Chen Luo said.

“It’s like this… As you know, more and more people need to undergo fusion surgery recently because no one knows when the Eighth Herrscher will be able to locate Moth of Flame, so it’s also uncertain when you will fall into a deep sleep.”

“There are only so many suitable candidates among the Fire Moths, and even without using your abilities, you are an extremely skilled fusion surgeon. So…” Alicia began with some difficulty.

"So you want me to continue performing fusion surgeries on others even after I've used up all my [magic power] and can no longer use [magic], right?" Chen Luo asked without blinking.

“…Yes.” Alicia nodded.

Alicia didn't expect Chen Luo to agree to this immediately, so she didn't have any desire for it.

Alicia knew that this was cruel enough for Chen Luo.

Although Chen Luo has now joined the Fire Chaser, not a single patient has died under his care so far, thanks to his superb surgical skills and abilities.

Zero mortality is a terrifying thing in surgery.

Alicia was worried that Chen Luo might have developed extreme emotions because he had never faced death directly, so she didn't want to force him to do anything.

Many promising young surgeons are deeply affected by the inability to face the loss of patients' lives in their own hands.

"understood."

To Alicia's surprise, Chen Luo simply nodded and agreed to the matter.

Chen Luo noticed Alicia's worries, but he hoped she would be more assertive and give him a commission.

"Then I'll leave it to you. Alicia, I already told you, Luo isn't that fragile," Kevin said coldly from the side.

[Ding! You have a new request!]

[Overtime!]: What office worker doesn't work overtime? Don't you work overtime? Of course you do!

Reward: 654 Primogems

Difficulty: 3 stars

This task is very interesting.

What's interesting about him is that as long as Chen Luo accepts the task, Chen Luo can complete it.

Because Chen Luo himself has absolutely no ability to suppress the Honkai Beast genes of the person whose fusion surgery is about to fail.

Therefore, Chen Luo can complete this task as long as he is willing to undergo surgery.

However, in order to play his role well, Chen Luo will also take this task seriously.

So please, me during the plot jumps!

Although you can't accept quests during story jumps, you can still complete them!

“After all, I’ve crawled out of piles of corpses. Although it’s hard to accept the dead, I can temporarily ignore them in the face of the bigger picture. So… did you bring me the list?” Chen Luo asked.

“No, Dr. Mei will be having a meeting in a bit. You can ask her for a list then.” Alicia shook her head.

Alicia and Kevin came specifically to tell Chen Luo this terrible news, but Chen Luo didn't seem to care.

"Understood, Hua, let's go."

……

"Is this the list? I thought Su's name would be on it," Chen Luo said, looking at the surgery list for the next few days in his hand.

“…Su is not suitable,” Kevin said.

“You should know better than I that Suhe is not suitable. There are many suitable candidates among the Moths of Fire, and Suhe is one of them. However, the current situation is not so critical that even Suhe needs to go to the battlefield.”

Fusion surgery is no longer performed haphazardly as it used to. At least now, it's possible to select suitable candidates for the procedure. Although the chances of a suitable candidate successfully undergoing fusion surgery are still slim, it's still better than for an unsuitable candidate. Mei was one of those unsuitable candidates.

"The Eighth Herrscher is really dangerous, Kevin. Were the Herrschers you encountered before this difficult to deal with? I mean, psychologically difficult," Chen Luo asked.

“You should ask Alicia; she’s more qualified to answer that than I am,” Kevin said.

“Yes, every confrontation with a Herrscher feels like a test for this civilization. But compared to other Herrschers who are either elusive or powerful, the Eighth Herrscher’s abilities are even more bizarre. I have a bad feeling… I feel that the Eighth Herrscher’s special targeting is just the beginning, and future Herrschers will become increasingly difficult to deal with.” Alicia frowned.

The Fire Moths have faced difficulties before. For example, when the Second Herrscher appeared, it posed a great danger to them. At that time, the Fire Moths were no match for the Second Herrscher. It was only with the help of Alicia that the Second Herrscher was finally defeated.

Each encounter with a Herrscher is a tremendous test for the Flame Chaser.

But this Eighth Herrscher is different. His abilities are just as terrifying as the other Herrschers, but this terror is so great that even Kevin, the strongest warrior of the Flame Chaser, feels fear.

According to the other members of the Fire Moths, Kevin should be the one who is most difficult to break free from the Eighth Herrscher's spell.

According to Dr. Spassey, the head of the 5th Science Division, these people are probably just daydreaming.

Of all the members of the Fire Moth, Kevin probably yearns for dreams the most.

Kevin is well aware of this.

After all, reality is just awful.

After bidding farewell to Alicia and Kevin, Chen Luo walked inside the Fire Moth.

Although the Eighth Herrscher has not yet located the keywords for finding the Flame Chaser, it has still caused panic among the members of the Flame Chaser, because not everyone in the Flame Chaser has been infected.

For example, cherry blossoms.

The people of the Fire Moth were terrified by the fact that Sakura, who had slain countless enemies and served as a cleaner within the poisonous pupa for so long, was instantly captivated by the dream of the Eighth Herrscher.

Even someone with such a resolute will could be drawn into a dream by the Eighth Herrscher, then...

"Hua, your heart is not at peace," Chen Luo said on the way to the cafeteria.

"Yes, Doctor." Hua nodded, not denying the matter.

Hua is no longer the calm and resilient warrior she was 5 years from now; she is now just an ordinary soldier chasing a flame, an ordinary female college student who should be in college...

The terror of the Herrschers had deeply penetrated Hua's heart. For example, the Third Herrscher almost cost Hua his life, the Seventh Herrscher made Hua feel isolated and helpless, and the Eighth Herrscher who made Hua not know when he would fall into a deep sleep.

"Don't worry, Hua, I will protect you."

"Doctor, I should be the one to say that."

"Heh, at least I don't have any mental vulnerabilities. I might be able to escape when faced with the Eighth Herrscher's consciousness infection, but you're different... But don't worry, if you really fall into a coma, I won't abandon you. It's just the Eighth Herrscher. If you really become addicted to your dream and don't want to wake up, I'll come find you."
