Their commission was suspicious.

"Hmm? Why are you suddenly interested in this? Of course, you can if you want," the Herrscher of Knowledge said happily after a moment of surprise.

"The old fogey taught Kiana, so I'll teach you. You can go and beat Kiana up later. Aren't they saying I'm stronger than the old fogey?" The Herrscher of Knowledge thought of something very funny.

"..." Chen Luo suddenly felt that he had entrusted himself to the wrong person.

Chapter 22 The World's Strongest Alliance

"Um, I suddenly remembered something, I need to go out for a bit." Looking at the Herrscher of Knowledge who was muttering about how to train Chen Luo, Chen Luo suddenly had the urge to back out.

"Hey, how can that be? I just figured out how to train you, how can you run away? Martial arts is like rowing against the current, if you don't advance, you fall behind." The Herald of Knowledge grabbed Chen Luo's hand.

No matter how strong Chen Luo might become in the future, he's already going to be utterly crushed by the Herrscher of Knowledge right now.

“But I haven’t even started practicing martial arts yet, so I can’t back down.” Chen Luo tried to reason with the Herald of Knowledge.

"That makes a lot of sense... No, how can you think like that? Tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow, how many tomorrows there are! If I live waiting for tomorrow, everything will be wasted. If you keep procrastinating, this habit is not good." The Herald of Knowledge, who had almost been trapped by Chen Luo, once again denied Chen Luo.

“I usually work as a caregiver at the hospital on Saturday mornings unless I have something else to do. Luckily, you set my hypnosis session for two hours instead of three, or I would have been late. Oh, by the way, I probably won’t be back for lunch. You’ll have to make do with something to eat. Your late-night snack from last night is still warm. Even if it gets cold in two hours, you can reheat it in the microwave.” Chen Luo instructed Shi Zhiluzhe like an old father.

"I see..." The Herald of Knowledge sensed that Chen Luo didn't seem to be lying, so he released Chen Luo's hand.

Even if someone with a strong sense of justice doesn't want to work as a caregiver in a hospital, they can't stop others from doing so.

"I always feel like you'd be at a disadvantage if you became a caregiver." The Herrscher of Knowledge stroked his chin.

"How about I go with you?" The Herald of Knowledge offered a suggestion.

"Huh? You're coming with me? How are we going to get there?" Chen Luo was taken aback.

"Please, I am the Herrscher of Consciousness. Is it so hard to hide inside someone else's body? Although I gained a physical form for some reason when I traveled through worlds, I can still transform back into feathers. The Herrscher of Consciousness is an existence that originally roams in the ocean of consciousness," the Herrscher of Consciousness said proudly.

"Sure, I don't mind you coming with me, but I don't think you'll be interested in watching me read with someone else for two hours straight."

"Huh? Studying? Never mind, you can go by yourself." The Herald of Knowledge waved his hand dismissively at Chen Luo.

"..." Not liking to read is not a good habit.

"I'll be back around 2 p.m., so you stay home and behave yourself." Chen Luo glanced at the clock, which was almost 10 p.m.

"Wait, it's 10 o'clock now. Isn't it 12 o'clock in two hours?" The Herrscher of Knowledge said, looking at the clock in the living room.

"You don't spend time traveling, and you don't spend time coming back. When you get there, you just read books and chat with others, don't you?" Chen Luo retorted.

“Oh, right… You’d better come back soon. I’ll use this time to think about how to train you,” the Herrscher of Knowledge said somewhat dejectedly.

The expression on Shi Zhilu's face reminded Chen Luo of a child watching their parents go to work, feeling very reluctant to let them go all day.

"Okay, I'll try to come back early today." Chen Luo unconsciously patted the Herrscher of Knowledge's head before getting up and walking towards the door.

Perhaps it's because of that father-daughter relationship, but Chen Luo is paying more and more attention to the physical and mental health of those who understand the laws of knowledge.

"Oh, right, you should be aware of your current identity. There are quite a few people playing Honkai Impact 3, so don't let anyone recognize you. If anyone comes to the door, no matter what they say, don't open the door for them," Chen Luo said, turning back to instruct him before leaving.

"Okay." The Herrscher of Knowledge replied lazily, then continued scrolling through the Honkai Impact 3 comics on her phone.

……

"Speaking of which, did I forget to explain my talent to the Herrscher of Knowledge?" Chen Luo muttered to himself as he walked down the street after leaving home.

Then, with the security guard's reminder, Chen Luo found his deflated bicycle.

"Yun Xia is really a good friend. Not only did she get the schoolbag back, but she also got the bicycle back, and more importantly, she even fixed the bicycle."

After getting his own bicycle, Chen Luo no longer needed to squeeze onto buses and subways.

As Chen Luo rode his bicycle toward the hospital, he pondered in his mind how to explain his talent to the Herald of Knowledge.

After all, I already agreed to it yesterday.

Chen Luo did this not because he immediately trusted the Herrscher of Knowledge after becoming family, but because he could see that the Herrscher of Knowledge would be spending a lot of time with him in the future, and these things would eventually be exposed.

There's nothing wrong with telling the other person about this in advance to increase trust.

Besides, the secrets of the Herrscher of Knowledge are far greater than mine. I am a person of this world, with only a slightly peculiar talent, but the Herrscher of Knowledge is a person of another world.

If there were two strangers forming an alliance in the world, then the Law of Knowledge and Chen Luo could be considered the strongest alliance.

They each possessed the other's greatest secret.

However, we need to carefully consider how to say this.

Not long after, Chen Luo rode his bicycle to the vicinity of the hospital.

The hospital wasn't too far from Chen Luo's home, and Chen Luo had used the Wind-type Divine Eye to speed up his journey.

It can only be said that the Wind-type Eye of God is indeed quite versatile.

Chen Luo knew this hospital inside and out. After greeting the security guard familiarly, he parked his bicycle there.

Where could be safer than parking right under a security guard's nose?

Of course, Chen Luo didn't forget to toss two apples to the other person.

Chen Luo bought the fruit from a nearby fruit stand, and he also had a bag of oranges in his hand.

The three most popular fruits in hospitals are apples, bananas, and oranges.

The former is due to habit, while the latter two are more because in the hospital environment, fruits that can be peeled directly are undoubtedly more popular.

After greeting the nurse at the front desk with practiced ease, Chen Luo headed upstairs on his own.

Some hospitals have very inhumane floor layouts; sometimes you simply can't find the elevator. Generally speaking, even if you've been there several times, you can still get disoriented sometimes, but that doesn't apply to Chen Luo.

Three minutes later, Chen Luo stood in front of the luxurious private room on the top floor of the entire hospital and gently knocked on the door.

Chapter 23 Chen Luo: I think I can understand relativity

"Please come in." A clear, melodious voice, full of girlish charm, rang out.

After Chen Luo pushed open the door, he saw a maid in white silk stockings standing in front of him.

This maid didn't look much older than Chen Luo. She had delicate features and a stunning figure, especially the white stockings below her absolute territory, which gave one the urge to lick them.

Chen Luo had always felt that the maid's attire was inappropriate, but he had no proof.

Whose legitimate maid is wearing a miniskirt?

If the person being served was a man, Chen Luo would be certain that he was a lecherous old man, but unfortunately, the person being served was a woman, and her looks and figure were no less than those of the maid.

"Sister Meng." Chen Luo handed the orange in his hand to her.

"I told you, come on over, don't bring any more fruit, Miss can't finish it all every time." The maid in white silk complained to Chen Luo as she took the fruit from his hand.

"If she can't finish it, why don't you eat it? You're a grown woman, how can you let a bag of oranges kill you?" Chen Luo remained unrepentant, while looking at the person leaning against the hospital bed.

She had long, flowing black hair and was holding a thick book in her hand, studying it carefully. She exuded the aura of a literary young woman, but her face was a little pale, and she looked like she had been ill for a long time.

A sickly, long-haired, black-haired, busty literary girl—this buff is stacked to its maximum.

Especially given her exquisite appearance, she would definitely be a senior-type female protagonist in an anime.

"Lian'er, how are you feeling? Have you gotten any better?" Chen Luo asked with concern.

Two years ago, when Chen Luo first accompanied her to school, she looked sickly, and now, two years later, she still looks sickly.

"I'm much better, thank you for your concern." The girl named Yun Lian'er looked up and smiled at Chen Luo.

"How are you much better? It's been two years, a full two years. You said that two years ago. I suspect this hospital has been ripping you off all along, otherwise how could they not cure your illness in two years? And you're still so weak." But clearly, Chen Luo didn't believe the other person's words at all.

Chen Luo's first visit to the hospital was probably when he was in his first year of high school. The high school had organized this caregiver program to appease the higher authorities.

And now it's almost summer vacation for my second year of high school, which is practically two years.

Chen Luo knew that the other party must be rich, otherwise they wouldn't be able to afford this luxurious single room on the top floor, let alone stay for two years.

Besides, poor families wouldn't have maids in white stockings.

Of course, Chen Luo's family wasn't poor; it was just that Chen Luo himself was poor, so he didn't covet anything from the other party's family background.

"Alright, stop complaining. You complain more than I do, the patient," Yun Lian'er said with a good-natured smile.

Yun Lian'er knew that the other person must be concerned about her to say that.

"What book do you want to read this time? One Hundred Years of Solitude?" the girl asked.

"No, I read it once before, but after reading a few dozen pages I forgot the beginning of the plot. It's a classic, but I just can't get into it." Chen Luo shook his head.

The literary achievement of One Hundred Years of Solitude is undeniable, but not everyone can appreciate it.

Besides, a book like One Hundred Years of Solitude can't be read in just two hours.

"What would you like to see?" the girl asked after nodding in agreement with Chen Luo's statement.

"Let's go with... relativity." Chen Luo raised his head confidently.

"...You really are something. Alright, alright, it just so happens that I have this book." Yun Lian'er chuckled.

"Sister Meng, go look on the bookshelf." Yun Lian'er looked at the maid in white silk.

"Yes, Miss." Sister Meng nodded and walked towards the bookshelf that filled an entire wall in the luxurious private room.

"I'm curious, why did you decide to study relativity?" the girl asked at the opportune moment.

"It's said that only geniuses can understand relativity, but I think I can do it too," Chen Luo said.

“I think you can only watch for 5 minutes at most, or even less than 5 minutes before you give up.” Yun Lian’er shook her head.

“No, I think it will take at least 6 minutes,” Chen Luo said confidently.

Three minutes later...

"Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing?" Chen Luo stared intently at the preface on page 1 of the theory of relativity.

As it turned out, Chen Luo couldn't even last three minutes.

The girl, who was engrossed in her reading, glanced at Chen Luo, who was lost in thought, smiled, and continued reading.

The reason Chen Luo is able to stare blankly at this book is entirely due to the commission he received.

[Ding! You have a new commission.]

[Studying Accompaniment] (Repetitive Task): Accompany a frail and sickly girl while she studies for at least two hours without causing her any dislike.

Reward: 100 Primogems + Random Art Skill

Difficulty: Two stars

When Chen Luo received this commission, he was completely shocked.

Goodness, is the reward for this quest really that high? It gives 100 Primogems!

Chen Luo knew that accompanying someone in their studies would increase their progress by 0.2 points each time, which was definitely more than regular help, but he didn't expect it to be this much more.

Moreover, the difficulty of that commission was insanely high.

What does that mean? Two stars?

This was the most difficult task Chen Luo had ever undertaken.

Is she some kind of monster? Or is she just bad-tempered, or is she picky and not everyone can study with her?

Or perhaps it's due to that repetitive task.

Thinking back, for almost two years, he would come to accompany me every Saturday morning, and sometimes he would come on Sundays to complete commissions.

During winter and summer vacations, they come even more frequently if they don't have any requests.

After all, it's rare to find a job that pays well, has little work, and is close to home.

Moreover, the task specifically stated that one should not offend the other party, so Chen Luo could only stare blankly at this damned theory of relativity.

I dare not move, I dare not move.

That's 100 Primogems! You'd have to steal 20 lollipops from little girls or beat up blond guys 10 times to get it.

Chen Luo, who was lost in thought, suddenly felt someone approaching him. A dark shadow covered him, and when he looked up, he saw Meng Jie quietly placing a storybook next to him.

"An angel." Chen Luo looked at the other person with emotion, and even had the illusion that angel wings were spreading behind the other person.

Subsequently, Chen Luo placed the storybook between the pages of the book on relativity.

To be honest, this theory of relativity is truly unfathomable. Chen Luo couldn't understand it at all. Just reading the preface was enough to make Chen Luo's mind go completely blank.
