Their commission was suspicious.

“Besides, anyone can say that, except you. At least the two of us can work in the lab for more than 8 hours a day. And the only reason you, as a formal assistant, would return to the lab is to see Dr. Möbius,” Cang Xuan added.

"This... I had fusion surgery this morning!"

"Kehua told us you could take care of the children!"

Chen Luo was able to entrust this matter to Hua because he instructed Hua not to keep it a secret.

"What are you saying? Does that mean I'm not me if I'm being managed? If you're so capable, why don't you manage my affairs too?" Chen Luo scoffed.

"I'm so envious that you were able to entrust your body with the fusion surgery you had this morning. But I have a question: after you entrusted your body with the special item you obtained, what was your mind doing?" Danzhu asked curiously.

"Playing games. Puzzle games, super challenging brain-teasing single-player murder mystery games. In short, you don't have to worry about being bored."

"Junior brother, we've known each other for so long, and I've never asked you for anything. Can I borrow your summoning items?" Danzhu flipped over his Seven Sages Summoning Card Table, ran to Chen Luo's side, and picked him up, pleading.

"..." Cang Xuan, who had already prepared for the nuclear explosion and was just waiting for his turn to launch the attack, glared angrily at Dan Zhu after Dan Zhu overturned the card table.

"No, what would I do if I lent it to you?"

"Chen Luo! Don't force me to kneel down and beg you! Believe me or not, I'll burst into tears right here!"

"Go ahead and cry. If you can burst into tears and show me, I'll let you take a look at the childcare equipment."

"Wow!"

Unlike Yakumo Yukari and Chen Luo, Danzhu actually burst into tears.

This directly shocked Chen Luo for an entire year!

"What happened?" Klein, who was buried in a pile of documents and engrossed in his work, looked up and glanced at the scene with a helpless expression.

The flawless one has arrived!

"Alright, alright, stop crying, I'll show you, okay?" Chen Luo casually took out a ball of experience from the group network, rolled it into a ball, and placed it in front of Danzhu.

"Great! I can start using the game from tomorrow!" Danzhu took the experience orb and tucked it into her bosom, treating it like a precious treasure.

"I didn't say I'd lend it to you, I just said you could take a look."

"Please, lend it to me, just for one day!"

[Ding! You have a new request!]

"...Okay." Chen Luo was tempted by the raw stone.

Anyway, Chen Luo wasn't really entrusting it to someone else; he was just directing the Void Treasury to do the work for him.

Furthermore, this cluster of experience orbs can indeed serve as an extension of the group network to achieve hosting.

In fact, each doll has the skill of being cared for.

"Really?"

"Really. Just a heads up, this item needs to be set for a specific time beforehand. Unless you're subjected to a severe attack, the management effect cannot be canceled before the time expires. Also, the managed tasks must be ones you can complete, and you can only manage a maximum of three areas at a time," Chen Luo said.

“I’m fine with it, since my job only involves performing fusion surgeries, but are you really capable?”

"Let's give it a try, what if it works? Can I use it now?" Danzhu asked excitedly.

"That's possible, but I hope you won't regret it." Chen Luo nodded.

"Let's play another round of Seven Sages Summoning! The loser has to bring breakfast tomorrow!" Danzhu ran up to Cangxuan with great enthusiasm.

"Okay." Cang Xuan nodded.

Under Chen Luo's guidance, Dan Zhu also used an experience orb to enter the auto-play mode, with the time set until the end of this Seven Saints Summoning Duel.

Then, Danzhu, whose eyes were slightly vacant, began his match against Cangxuan's Seven Sages Summoning, which was now in a hands-free mode.

Not only was Cang Xuan interested in this unique duel mode, but even Hua and Klein came over to see the effect of Danzhu's trusteeship.

"He seems no different from Danzhu in his normal state; his skill level is still pitifully low," Cangxuan said.

In the realm of the Seven Sages Summoning, Danzhu has always been the one who is both bad at the game and loves to play.

So, unsurprisingly, Danzhu lost.

After the match ended, Danzhu's eyes regained their liveliness, and then...

She burst into tears again.

"What's wrong? Even if you lost the game, you don't have to cry, do you?" Cang Xuan asked, somewhat surprised.

"Why? Why do I have to do math problems after the tutoring? And they're advanced math problems! What happened to the puzzle games and the single-player horror-themed murder mystery games?"

Danzhu felt that no one could possibly understand the intense psychological imbalance she felt when she was doing advanced math problems while pitifully watching her being cared for in a small, dark room as she played the Seven Sages Summoning game.

Why can the computer (hosted) play Seven Sages Summoning outside, while I have to do my homework in a dark room? Who is the one being hosted?

Thinking about this, Danzhu cried even harder.

Chapter 1661 Möbius: You're the one who sent Prometheus to steal my man?

After Chen Luo was kicked out of the experimental area and moved to the office area by Möbius, he was then kicked out of the office area by Danzhu. Now Chen Luo had no way to stay in Möbius's laboratory.

"Doctor." Hua, who had also been kicked out, looked at Chen Luo with great helplessness.

"Hua, you be the judge. Tell me, is advanced mathematics really that hard on the brain? Tell me, isn't the process of solving problems a puzzle? I'm clearly right, so why is Danzhu angry?" Chen Luo looked extremely indignant.

"Doctor~~"

"Okay, okay, I know my description might be a bit off, but she doesn't need to burst into tears just because she's trapped in a dark room doing advanced math. Is it really necessary?" Chen Luo reluctantly accepted this unfounded accusation.

In fact, all of Chen Luo's puppets, regardless of their reputation level, would be locked in a dark room to do exercises if they used the "management" ability.

It could also be for training purposes.

In any case, it's impossible to easily spend a meaningless day.

AFK (away from keyboard) requires network memory, so it's not allowed unless you're extremely bored at work. And when you're AFK, don't expect to relax; just focus on improving yourself.

AFK (away from keyboard) allows you to ignore repetitive tasks that don't yield any economic benefits, while also enriching your problem-solving experience—a win-win situation!

Although Danzhu used AFK (away from keyboard) software made from experience orbs, this AFK software was connected to a group network.

So Danzhu also has to do problems!

Although Danzhu firmly stated that she didn't want such an unlucky thing, Chen Luo ultimately lent it to Danzhu for a day, after all, he had to complete the mission.

Hopefully, Cangxuan won't let his curiosity get the better of him and try to use this thing, otherwise, there will be two people crying out in pain.

"Where do we go now?" Hua asked, somewhat confused.

Chen Luo doesn't have his own office because he's either performing surgery in the operating room, observing patients in the Möbius lab, or sleeping at home.

Moreover, Chen Luo is still nominally an assistant in the Möbius Laboratory.

What does an assistant need an office for?

That's why Chen Luo and Hua usually have free time in the afternoon after their surgeries in the morning.

High emotional intelligence: Free time.

Low emotional intelligence: nowhere to go.

Hua could train in the training room for an afternoon, but Chen Luo probably wouldn't be interested.

"Why do I suddenly feel like the two of us are just street thugs?" Chen Luo was suddenly shocked after figuring this out.

"Of course, didn't you say this was called flexible employment just a couple of days ago?"

"That's not important. No, I need to apply for an office of my own! Come on, let's go find Mei!" Chen Luo patted Hua on the shoulder. Then they walked in one direction.

"Wait for me, Doctor."

……

“Mei, I think with my skill level I am perfectly capable of being a fusion surgery consultant and naturally have an office.”

"So that's why you came to my office and wouldn't let go of my assistant?" May said impatiently.

"Does it matter? It doesn't matter," Chen Luo said while holding Prometheus.

"And I wasn't just holding her; I was examining her body, checking if her mechanical body was functioning properly. It seems my technique is working perfectly fine," Chen Luo said.

"Now that the check is complete, could you please let her go? My coffee is still in her hand." Mei sighed.

Mei could tell that Chen Luo really liked Prometheus, but she didn't quite understand why.

Although Mei herself liked it quite a bit, she knew that this liking was different from others.

It's perfectly normal for anyone to love the best work they create, but Chen Luo himself seems to be a little abnormal about it.

"After I let go of her, and she finishes bringing you the coffee, can I hug her for a little while longer?"

No. But you must let go.

"You stingy guy." Chen Luo muttered as he released Prometheus. Prometheus glanced at Chen Luo calmly and then brought the coffee he had made to Mei.

“Let’s get back to what you said at the beginning: you want an office? Why?” Mei asked.

"Because after being kicked out of the experimental area by Mebius and then kicked out of the laboratory office area by Danzhu, I had nowhere to go. Then I realized that I, a top fusion surgeon of the Fire Moth, didn't even have a consultation room or office," Chen Luo said.

"I won't ask why you were kicked out by both Mebius and Danju... Applying for an office isn't difficult for you; it would even be easier if you went to the high-ranking official you successfully turned into a fusion warrior for approval. But I want to know what your career plans are after you have your own office?" (The question was left unanswered.)

May is not yet the absolute leader of the later Moth of Fire; there are many people with more power than May now.

The success of the Fusion Warrior program did greatly enhance May's prestige within the Firemoth, but it only placed her in a high-ranking position, not as the sole leader.

“Mei, you can’t think like that. We’re friends, you know. My relationship with those high-ranking officials was just a charade.”

"I didn't say we weren't friends; I was just stating the facts."

"But I could see they really disliked it."

"...Okay, let's talk about the planning for the office you applied for. What position do you want, and what kind of budget do you want?"

Mei agreed with Chen Luo's words.

"Like I said, I think that even without the special skill that allows me to survive a failed surgery, my fusion surgery skills are among the best in the entire Moth Chaser organization. So I think I have no problem being a consultant."

"In order to better handle my work as an advisor, I've requested that a small portion of Prometheus's computing power be allocated to me. I can create a mechanical body for this Prometheus myself, at my own expense," Chen Luo said.

Splitting off a portion of Prometheus is already considered a standard procedure.

For example, within each Divine Key, a portion of the Prometheus AI governs the Divine Key, making it serve the purpose of defeating the Honkai.

The most prominent example is the vastness of space.

"You came to see me not because you consider me a friend, but simply because you're after my Prometheus, right?" Mei rolled her eyes at Chen Luo.

Ultimate authority over Prometheus, the super artificial intelligence created by Dr. May, rests with Dr. May.

Chen Luo's map of the Yan Kingdom is a bit short.

"How could that be?" Chen Luo completely denied it.

"And... if I may ask, the kind of consultant job you're imagining isn't just about drinking tea and chatting in an office, answering questions casually, and having no other job, is it?" Seeing Chen Luo's attitude, Mei felt a sense of unease.

"Oh, really? Isn't this how everyone usually scams funding?" Chen Luo was quite surprised.

“I have two pieces of news to tell you. One is good, and the other is bad. Which do you want to hear first?” Mei asked.

"Ok."

"You've received your medical doctorate. In recognition of your exceptional contributions to the Firefly Moth project and your achievements in medicine, we have made a special exception and awarded you the medical doctorate." Mei picked up a certificate from the table.

"Great, what's the bad news?"

“It’s gone now.” Dr. Mei tossed the certificate into the drawer in front of Chen Luo and then closed it.

"what?"

"You're already swindling funding from the medical department while you're just a PhD in mechanical engineering. Wouldn't it be even worse if you became a medical doctor?"

"what?"

"That's it, so is there anything else you want to say?" Mei asked Chen Luo.

"My office..."

“I can approve it for you, although I would prefer you to also serve as a professor of super-transformation surgery and train doctors, but you probably wouldn’t want that. But if you just want a place to rest after being kicked out of the lab, that’s fine too. Remember to take charge of your advisory duties,” Mei said.

"My Prometheus..."

“It’s mine… no, it’s Prometheus of the Fire-Chasing Moth. Your job is too simple, so you don’t need Prometheus’s help.”
