Their commission was suspicious.

Although Kal'tsit, as a doctor, did not consider Chen Luo's treatment to be a proper cure.

Take all the Originium that has fused with a person's cells, discard the internal organs if they exist, cut off the limbs if they exist, and then recreate the limbs or internal organs...

How can this be considered treatment?

Are they building with blocks?

But you know what, this method actually works.

It's strange, very strange.

"So where exactly did you meet Chen Luo? And if I'm not mistaken, Chen Luo suddenly appeared on Rhodes Island a few days ago. Did you bring him here?" Kal'tsit noticed this.

Did you bring Chen Luo here?

Rhodes Island asked me to pass on a message to you... Don't side with outsiders!

Before Skadi's return to Rhodes Island this time, Chen Luo had never suddenly appeared on Rhodes Island before; he usually just taunted her face-to-face rather than sneaking in.

"Almost?" Skadi wasn't quite sure how to comment on Chen Luo's manner of entry.

"But I can't tell you any more details."

But Skadi remembered Chen Luo saying not to mention the bar to the people of Rhodes Island.

Because Chen Luo was chased to a bar and then called to work overtime by the people from Rhodes Island...

too frightening.

After the bar is open for 4 hours, they're still being forced to work overtime until 4 a.m....

What kind of unscrupulous company is this?

You won't let operators rest until they're completely exhausted, right?

“…Alright, then take Specter to the medical department first, have her mental state assessed, and then bring me the results. If she passes the test, the restrictions on Specter can be lifted.” Kal'tsit said, glancing at Specter next to Skadi.

Kal'tsit trusted Chen Luo's methods; at least Chen Luo had never made a mistake in judging people.

If Chen Luo says someone is about to die, then that person really is about to die.

However, as one of the managers, Kal'tsit still needs to submit written reports. This also helps to alleviate the other operators' suspicion of Specter.

As for Chen Luo's question?

Chen Luo already has enough secrets, one more won't make a difference.

As long as Chen Luo still remembers that he is a doctor from Rhodes Island, that's fine.

Can Chen Luo's secret be any bigger than the cure for Oripathy?

Chen Luo has already told me this secret, so what is there to be afraid of?

Speaking of which, it's not just Amiya who thinks Chen Luo is more active and more authentic now; Kal'tsit feels the same way.

"By the way, Doctor, I'd like to apply for dormitory renovations and to add another dormitory room," Ghost Shark said, raising his hand.

"Ok?"

“I feel that my current dormitory is no longer suitable for me, nor for my future self, so I need to renovate it. For example, the hospital bed with the abdominal binder and the chair used by medical staff need to be thrown out, and a comfortable bed and a bedside table with a lamp should be placed in it.”

"If possible, I would also like to hang a few paintings on the wall and display some collectibles in the cabinet. It would also be best to get a music playback system."

"Of course, the most important thing is to buy a set of carving tools and suitable stone. I'm no longer a patient, but an operator, a deep-sea hunter, a ghost shark..."

...also Laurentina.

"Okay." Kal'tsit nodded after considering for a moment.

"But you have to do a mental health assessment first. Once you pass, I'll stamp your application, and then you can go to the logistics department to ask Lucille for your equipment. Oh, by the way, it seems like Rhodes Island's logistics department is out of carpets, so you probably won't be able to get any."

"Also, another complete dormitory room would be best if it were across from mine or to my left or right. This is for another version of myself," Ghost Shark reminded him.

"I understand. I'll reserve some space for it, but we'll discuss the specifics of the renovations after Chen Luo brings out the other you."

Kal'tsit was actually quite curious about how Chen Luo would create a body for another Specter.

If the soul can be extracted and used to create a body for another ghost shark, does that mean Chen Luo can transfer the soul of a patient suffering from severe Oripathy into a healthy body?

No… Kal'tsit immediately realized that this idea would inevitably be met with resistance.

This treatment method is only suitable for people who are truly desperate and should not be made public.

Otherwise, the leaders of other interest groups whose attitudes are so disgusting they make people want to vomit would be spouting incomprehensible rhetoric while waving the banner of humanity.

You are not allowed to use the technology that we cannot master!

……

"Mr. Angel Killer, you actually know how to come? Why don't you just starve to death out there?" Chen Luo received a warm welcome from Exusiai as soon as he entered the dormitory of Penguin Logistics.

After Chen Luo revealed his name, the only person who still referred to him as "Mr. Angel Killer" was Exia.

At this moment, Exusiai's face was plastered with a fake smile.

It felt as if Exusiai would slam the door shut today if Chen Luo didn't give a reasonable explanation.

[You still have the nerve to come back? You've been away from home for so long, how dare you come back? Hmm, why does Exusiai look so much like a wife waiting at home for her husband to come home from having an affair?]

There are always things in the world that even the Book of Akasha cannot understand, such as human nature, which often teeters on the edge of the bizarre. Even the humanistic plugin doesn't comprehend them.

The humanized plugin knows Exusiai's current mood, but it doesn't know why Exusiai is in this mood.

"I went back to Rhodes Island..."

Exusiai's smile remained unchanged after Chen Luo finished speaking, but this also meant that Exusiai was not very satisfied with Chen Luo's answer.

"Hmm, Exusiai, guess which one I was looking for for the escaped substitute doctor that I had just promised the leader of a certain faction, but then I turned around and kidnapped the substitute doctor, and then another Lateran from that faction's management, who witnessed the crime scene, took care of the aftermath?" Chen Luo tilted his head.

“Uh…” When Chen Luo brought up this matter, Exusiai subconsciously took a step back.

Why does this story seem so familiar?

"Um... Mr. Angel Killer, thank you for your hard work. Are you hungry? It's almost noon. Would you like me to make you an apple pie? I'm really good at making apple pies." Exusiai's fake smile instantly turned into a genuinely friendly one. She then enthusiastically grabbed Chen Luo's hand and pulled him into the Penguin Logistics dormitory.

"Heh." Chen Luo chuckled dismissively.

Chen Luo was just letting Exusiai guess; he didn't directly say that his trip to Rhodes Island was for Exusiai.

Imagining things... can this be considered wordplay?

"No need for apple pie. Although I did have something to do this time, I was gone for so long without telling you, which may have made you worry. So, lunch is on me today," Chen Luo said.

Chen Luo didn't mind Exusiai's attitude. The harder Exusiai was to fool, the more important Exusiai valued Chen Luo.

Of course, the current level of concern is limited to a strange worry that their household deity might go out and cause trouble.

Chen Luo didn't understand why Exusiai viewed him with such a motherly attitude. Did he really seem that unreliable?

"Mr. Angel Killer, do you have money?"

"No. But I have ingredients and utensils, I can cook, and I'm a very good cook," Chen Luo said proudly.

……

"So... what does eating hot pot have to do with cooking skills?" Exusiai looked at the hot pot in front of her, somewhat puzzled.

"Does hot pot really require culinary skills?" Croissant was also a little unsure.

Longmen is a mobile city belonging to the Yan Kingdom, so Longmen has many Yan Kingdom elements, including hot pot.

This type of dining, originating from Sichuan, doesn't require highly skilled chefs, thus saving a lot of labor costs. That's why there are still a few hot pot restaurants in Longmen.

Besides hot pot, snacks like fish balls are also must-try delicacies.

"You don't understand, knife skills are also a cooking skill," Chen Luo said, picking up a piece of freshly cooked meat.

"Your knife skills are indeed excellent, but Mr. Angel Killer, are these vegetables really not pre-cut and bought directly?"

"Of course not, that kind of hot pot has no soul. Come on, eat up." Chen Luo put the piece of meat he had picked up into Exusiai's bowl, trying to shut Exusiai up from her incessant chatter.

"But... why is this dipping sauce different from the ones we eat at other hot pot restaurants in Lungmen?"

"This is a unique dipping sauce from northern China."

"Chen Luo!" Before Exusiai could even start eating, a strong voice rang out from downstairs at the Penguin Logistics dormitory.

"Excuse me for a moment, an old friend has arrived." After saying this, Chen Luo immediately entered a stealthy state and floated downstairs.

When Exusiai and the others heard that Chen Luo's old friend had arrived, although they couldn't float downstairs like Chen Luo did, they all crowded to the window and looked down.

"That's Officer Chen and...who?" Exusiai tilted her head.

"do not know."

"Long time no see, Nian. Why are you hanging out with Chen?" Chen Luo asked curiously, looking at the woman beside Nian.

"That's because I don't have an ID card anymore, so I can't enter Lungmen. I didn't want to force my way in, so I had no choice but to go to the Guard Bureau," Nian said casually.

Then Nian moved directly next to Chen Luo, looking at his old friend whom he hadn't seen in a long time.

"Hmm, you know Chen?" Chen Luo then looked at Chen.

“I don’t know Chen, but you do, right? I don’t need to guess to know that the first thing you do when you arrive in a city is to join the local government. And it turns out I was right,” Nian said with a hint of pride.

"Since she's someone you know, Chen Luo, she's definitely not someone who won't cause trouble. But since she's here to see you, Chen Luo, remember to keep an eye on her." As he spoke, Chen Luo seemed to be seeing a major problem finally leave, and he took his leave.

"Hey, don't go! We're having hot pot right now, Chen, do you want to come join us?"

"Hot pot? What hot pot? Don't tell me it's a half-and-half pot?" Nian placed her hand on Chen Luo's shoulder, and unconsciously tightened her grip.

Chen ignored Chen Luo's shouts.

"of course not."

"That's fine then. I'll tell you, I don't eat spicy food when I eat hot pot..."

"It's a 3x3 grid."

"Huh??? What kind of unorthodox way of eating is that? Why isn't it in a copper pot?" Nian's grip tightened.

"Hey, wait a minute, why don't you ask me why I'm eating the nine-compartment hot pot?"

"Oh, why?"

"Because I like it."

"Hmm?" Nian raised his fan, as if to strike.

"Wait a minute, why don't you ask me what dipping sauce I used?"

"That's right, what kind of oil dish did you mix?"

"Sesame paste! Only sesame paste!" Chen Luo said proudly.

"...Today I will rid Sichuan and its people of this scourge! I'll beat you to death, you idiot!"

Finally, Nian couldn't hold back any longer.

Chen Luo is repeatedly teetering on the edge of the year, and he makes no attempt to hide it.

Chapter 1286 Year: Let's go play with Xi together!

“That’s more like it. Although I’m quite unhappy about the fact that we’re eating a hot pot with two broths, but…” Nian glanced at the members of Penguin Logistics sitting around the copper pot.

Although Nian really wanted to eat a fully spicy hot pot, having previously visited Longmen and tasted its hot pot, Nian could only say this...

Longmen is indeed a nice place, but the food is too bland. Even the extra spicy broth at hot pot restaurants seems a bit lacking to me.

If it were just Nian and Chen Luo, Nian definitely wouldn't be polite and would directly ask Chen Luo to change the pot and the soup base, just like Chen Luo had just made.

No nine-compartment hot pot is as fragrant as a copper pot.

But Nian "understood" that others might not be as good at eating spicy food as he was, and more importantly, he was a guest at the time, so he temporarily stopped the urge.

I heard that even Chen Luo is just someone who freeloads, so I guess I'll have to lower my expectations a bit.

Next time I have hot pot with Chen Luo alone, I must make him try the spicy broth so he can understand what true deliciousness is!

"If you dare force me to eat spicy hot pot next time, I'll use you as a hot pot dipping sauce," Chen Luo couldn't help but say upon seeing Nian's thoughts.

"Hey, why don't you try the spicy broth? Every time we have hot pot, you choose the half-and-half pot, it's so boring. And how am I supposed to cook in it? Are you going to slice up your 'old friend'?"

"Didn't you say you have 1400 degrees in your body?"

“I can make you a heat-conducting hot pot,” Chen Luo said.
