Their commission was suspicious.

A world may not have an absolute protagonist, but in the continent of Terra, Rhodes Island certainly holds a very special position.

"Rhode Island has a lot of talented people, and they're all nice to talk to. You might be able to find quite a few actors willing to make trashy movies with you."

"Hmm, what do you mean by a trash movie? If you keep saying that, I'll beat you up." Nian raised his fan, absolutely refusing to admit that the movie he made was trash.

Chen Luo must have said that because he was jealous of his own filmmaking talent.

“But there really are members from all the factions on Terra there. You might be able to find some outstanding movie actors there. Mature, steady, aloof, or goofy... You could say that you could make a movie about the deeds of any elite operator from Rhodes Island. Their life stories are really fascinating,” Chen Luo said.

Each operator has a backstory, and each operator's backstory often has some profound meaning and is worth exploring.

For example, Ifrit, whom Chen Luo is going to meet tomorrow, has an experience that could be made into a disaster movie.

Take Eyjafjalla the sheep, for example; her story is an inspirational tale.

Hearing Chen Luo's high praise for Rhodes Island, Nian couldn't help but become somewhat interested.

It's rare to hear Chen Luo praise a force so highly these days. Even when it comes to Yan Kingdom forces like the Si Sui Tai, the Six Ministries, and the Dali Temple, Chen Luo's evaluation is simply "boring."

"So here's my question: what is your status on Rhodes Island?"

“Acting PhD, I guess I’m part of the management team,” Chen Luo replied.

"In fact, I am currently working hard to build Rhodes Island and recruit talent for it. Even if these talents do not intend to work for Rhodes Island, but simply stay there as visitors, I will be satisfied."

Does Chen Luo want Rhodes Island? No, Chen Luo wants operators.

The bar is too small; although it can hold a few hundred people, Rhodes Island can hold tens of thousands.

Chen Luo was already imagining himself on Rhodes Island, receiving a request as soon as he stepped out of his house in the morning, another request while walking down the street, and yet another request while having lunch at the cafeteria at noon...

Chen Luo will stop once he has earned 3,000 million.

3,000 million rough stones.

"Chen Luo!" Just as Nian was pondering Chen Luo's suggestion, a familiar voice rang out again downstairs at Penguin Logistics.

"Exusiai, bring me the file I just gave you. You don't need to make a special trip; someone's looking for you."

After obtaining the file from Exusiai, Chen Luo floated downstairs.

Thinking about what Chen Luo had just done, and considering the personality of the owner of that familiar voice, Exusiai gave Texas a wink before they went downstairs together with some concern.

As soon as the two went downstairs, they saw Chen Zheng making things difficult for Chen Luo.

"We're all from the same root, why are you so eager to harm each other? We both have the surname Chen, who knows... well, we can't possibly be from the same family. But don't get so worked up."

Chen Zheng locked Chen Luo's throat in a bizarre posture.

"And you're still trying to incite a natural disaster outside Lungmen? A thunderstorm disaster, no less?!"

"But that natural disaster only brewed for a few seconds and then disappeared, didn't it? And coincidentally, I suddenly have a natural disaster investigation report here. Isn't that a coincidence?"

"You filthy Longmen language!"

"Hey, don't swear. Just tell me, did that natural disaster outside cause any casualties in Lungmen? No, right? And how can you assume that I caused that disaster?"

"Why are you so angry? It can't be that someone from the Lungmen Guard Bureau became infected because of that natural disaster that only lasted a few seconds, right?"

"There are no infected in the Lungmen Guard Bureau. Although that thunderstorm omen that lasted only a few seconds didn't have any impact on Lungmen, that's no excuse for you to inflate your performance! Besides, the duties of a senior disaster advisor in the Lungmen Guard Bureau don't require you to produce anything regularly. You just need to stay home every day and you'll get paid. Why are you causing trouble? You idiot!"

However... although the Lungmen Guard Bureau doesn't have any performance requirements for Chen Luo, he does have missions related to Yan Kingdom.

Of course, this doesn't mean Chen Luo has to achieve his performance targets in this way, but...

add……

"The taste of a lie." Chen Luo, whose throat was being held by Chen's forearm, looked at Chen's face, which was so close to his own, and lightly licked it.

"What are you doing?" Chen subconsciously released Chen Luo.

You are lying.

"When did I lie?" Chen looked at Chen Luo with a look of disgust.

"You just said there are no infected people in the Lungmen Guard Bureau."

Is there a problem with this?

"Are you sure?" Chen Luo stared intently at Chen.

“If you’ve seen my resume, you should understand that no one can fool me,” Chen Luo said.

As everyone knows, no one can deceive the Lawgiver of Knowledge.

"...What do you want to say?" Chen suddenly fell silent for a moment.

"Chen...you don't want the other members of the Lungmen Guard to know that you're an Infected, do you?" Chen Luo glanced at Exusiai and Texas, who were walking down from the dormitory building and looking at them with concern, made a gesture to reassure them, and then whispered in Chen's ear.

"..."

"What... what do you want to do? Speak up!" Chen suppressed his turbulent emotions and stared intently at Chen Luo.

Chen is a man who has no desire for power. He became the police superintendent of Lungmen simply to better manage Lungmen.

However, Lungmen has always rejected infected individuals.

If the news that Chen is infected gets out, even Chen will probably have no choice but to leave Lungmen under pressure.

Although Wei Yanwu knew Chen's identity as an infected person, he still allowed Chen to serve as a senior superintendent of Lungmen and the head of the special inspection team, but others would not be so rational.

Even if Chen Luo doesn't have concrete evidence right now, as long as he publicizes this matter, he will be forced to release the medical examination report to the public under pressure.

Even if Wei Yanwu's connections allowed him to alter the medical examination report, but...

"I love seeing people like you with secrets being blackmailed with those secrets, looking so unwilling yet helpless... Hey, hey, hey, don't hit me! I just want to see that expression. I promise I won't tell anyone. Don't hit me!"

Chen Luo instinctively dodged to the side, and the next moment, Chen's knife slid past the hem of Chen Luo's clothes.

Texas and Exusiai, who were standing nearby, were very nervous and wanted to rush over, but Chen Luo stopped them.

Chen Luo's evasion skill points have been maxed out, so at least Chen can't hurt Chen Luo.

"Anyway, are you satisfied now?" Chen sheathed the sword he had just drawn, looking at Chen Luo with a hint of humiliation.

That guy is a real bastard.

"I'm satisfied. It would be even better if Inspector Chen could give me a raise."

"Alright, since you're satisfied, please come with me. You are charged with harassment, coercion, and endangering public safety." Chen pulled out a pair of silver bracelets.

"Really? If you say that, then I'll really have to commit a crime first before I go back with you."

"...It's fake. But if you use this kind of rhetoric to threaten other unsuspecting underage girls next time, I'll arrest you." Chen glared at Chen Luo.

"Don't be so serious. Now that I know your biggest secret, I'm no longer an outsider. I'm practically family..."

"Bang!" Upon hearing the two words, Chen lowered his head, intending to poke Chen Luo with the horn on his head.

Unfortunately, Chen Luo stopped him.

"I was just joking. Revealing your secret wasn't a casual remark. I just wanted to ask if you need any help?" Chen Luo asked seriously.

"Help? What help? Just don't tell anyone about this, that's the biggest help you can give me."

"The truth will always come out eventually. Hiding your identity and not receiving timely treatment, although your regular lifestyle may prevent the disease from affecting you much, it's still causing some trouble. I can help you. I can help you cure Oripathy."

"...Is this a joke?" Chen raised an eyebrow.

"No, I'm serious." Chen Luo shook his head.

Chen is among the infected individuals with a slightly lower level of infection.

Although Chen contracted Oripathy relatively early and did not receive adequate treatment, her very regular lifestyle and habits prevented Oripathy from having a significant impact on her health. Chen's somatic cells had a fusion rate with the Originium, which was only 4%, and her blood Originium crystal density was only 0.18.

It is only 0.06 higher than the 0.12 of the non-infected Exusiai.

To treat Chen, Chen only needs to cut off her hand, then make a new one, and finally pat her head.

Because Chen is a person with a strong sense of justice, and perhaps part of that sense of justice stems from certain principles, but Chen is clearly not the kind of person who would experience severe side effects after being treated with a head pat.

A reduction of 0.06 only requires touching the head for a short while.

"No need," Chen said without hesitation.

It wasn't that Chen didn't trust Chen Luo, but rather that, to date, Chen had never heard of any force that could successfully cure Oripathy.

"It's normal not to believe me, but keep this business card safe. Come find me whenever you've figured things out. Whatever your wish, I can help you fulfill it, for a small fee." Chen Luo handed the bar's business card to Chen.

Unlike his other old friends, Chen Luo and Chen were just acquaintances, so there was absolutely no problem with Chen Luo revealing his identity.

"I look forward to your arrival." Before following Exusiai and Texas upstairs, Chen Luo turned to Chen and said.

Chapter 1288 Sharing a Chocolate Bar with Texas

"Lappland, come out! I don't know where you are, but wherever there's Texas, there's bound to be you!" Chen Luo shouted loudly from downstairs at the Penguin Logistics dormitory building.

Now that we've finished eating, it's time to sort out our accommodation for the year.

Although Chen Luo wasn't exactly a host in Longmen, Nian was, after all, a guest who had come to see Chen Luo.

"..." Texas, with a chocolate bar in her mouth, fell silent.

When Texas was first brought downstairs by Chen Luo, she thought he needed her help with something important. But to her surprise, the first thing Chen Luo said after bringing Texas down was this.

"Not coming out? Come on, Texas, feed me a chocolate bar." Chen Luo opened his mouth towards Texas.

"..." Texas glanced at the empty box, then at the chocolate bar she had just eaten half of, struggled internally for a moment, then broke the chocolate bar in half and put it into Chen Luo's mouth.

"Whoosh!" Just as the chocolate bar was about to be put into Chen Luo's mouth, a dagger flew out from the shadows and shot towards Chen Luo.

Before Chen Luo could even speak, Texas stepped in front of him, using the two Primal Stone Swords that Chen Luo had summoned through his River God abilities to block the dagger and deflect it.

"Tch." Lappland emerged from the shadows with a displeased expression.

The dagger that was knocked away was caught by Nian, who was following behind Chen Luo and Texas.

"..." Faced with Lappland, Texas could only remain silent, then walked to the side, revealing Chen Luo, who had been hidden behind her.

Texas understood that Chen Luo had no need for her protection given his strength, but what she did just now was merely a subconscious act.

Texas knew perfectly well that the dagger Lappland threw would accurately strike the chocolate bar without harming either of them, but she still made her move.

"What do you want?" Lappland asked Chen Luo in an unfriendly tone.

Lappland didn't initially intend to hurt Chen Luo, but she was very unhappy with Chen Luo's "showing affection" to Texas in front of her.

“Take her to my house. This is my friend,” Chen Luo said, pointing at Nian.

“No need for that trouble. I’ll be leaving Longmen soon. Since you’ve already agreed to take Xi with me, I’m naturally going to find her,” Nian said, waving his hand.

Longmen does have a Yan Kingdom style, and there are some other unique things, but when it comes to playing in Longmen, nothing beats Xi!

If you don't use your little sister as a toy, then she's meaningless.

Nian has already planned out a huge firecracker to wake Xi up.

As the youngest sister, Xi was destined to be toyed with by her older sister, Nian!

cough cough...

The year calmed down my somewhat excited emotions.

"Don't be in such a hurry, at least come to my house for a while."

"You talk like you own a mine. If you're not interested, you're not interested." Nian waved his hand.

"Oh, alright then, Lappland, you can go now," Chen Luo said to Lappland.

"If you tell me to come and I come, and you tell me to leave and I leave, wouldn't I lose face?"

"Then you can stay here, but I'm leaving. Texas, remember to say goodbye to Exusiai for me." Chen Luo waved to Texas, then his figure began to fade until he disappeared.

"It's still this strange way of disappearing." Looking at this familiar way of disappearing, Nian even felt a sense of familiarity for a moment.

"Texas, would you be interested in hearing a story about Chen Luo?" Lappland suddenly approached Texas, who was staring at the spot where Chen Luo had disappeared, and asked with a smile.

“Not interested.” Texas shook her head.

Texas has absolutely no interest.

What exactly is Chen Luo's identity, what stories have happened to him, and what is his relationship with me?

Yes, Chen Luo's identity as an angel assassin is indeed surprising, but so what?

No matter how fantastical Chen Luo's identity is, when I'm next to him, I'll inevitably subconsciously listen to his "opinions".
