Their commission was suspicious.

"Hey, hey, hey, what are you thinking about?" Seeing that Danzhu's expression was getting more and more strange, Chen Luo knew that she had misunderstood, without even needing the humanized plugin to remind her.

"nothing."

"Since the files were used to threaten Cangxuan and Danzhu, then who is this flute used to threaten?" After seeing that another item had been destroyed by Cangxuan and Danzhu, Alicia simply took the flute into her hand.

Aside from Klein, who was too busy to join the conversation, there was only one other person present who didn't seem to have any reservations about Möbius, so naturally, the choice would be between the two of them.

"Right now, whoever looks at you with the scariest eyes and the most unpleasant expression is the one you're using to threaten," Chen Luo said.

Almost simultaneously, Alicia felt Mebius's murderous gaze.

"Could this be used to threaten Möbius? Is this unassuming flute really that powerful? How do you use it? Do you just blow it?" Alicia exclaimed.

"Put it down." Mebius threatened Alicia after giving Chen Luo a hard punch.

"...If you don't even care about Chen Luo, why should I?" Alicia raised an eyebrow.

"Forget it, you'd better return it quickly," Chen Luo hurriedly put the flute away, lest Alicia actually play it, and then Chen Luo might never have a peaceful day again.

"And what about Eden? Isn't there nothing that threatens Eden?"

"..."

"Why are you staring straight at me?" Alicia asked curiously.

"Why would I threaten Eden? After all, Eden is just an ordinary person now, and he does have things to offer. I can use my 'beauty radar' to lure you in, and then use you to lure Eden in, right? For example, I can mail Eden a card with a picture of a strand of pink hair attached, and write: 'Eden, you don't want anything to happen to Alicia, do you?'"

"Wow, that's so despicable!" Alicia's eyes widened.

"I've stooped so low as to threaten Eden, why should I worry about being called despicable?"

"Eden, you absolutely mustn't talk to Chen Luo when I'm not around, or he might infect you with his perverted nature," Alicia warned Eden, who was sitting next to her.

Eden just smiled and didn't say anything.

"Although I enjoyed chatting with you all, I have a scheduled event to attend this afternoon, so I have to leave now," Eden said, standing up as the time was right.

"Big stars are really busy. Remember to make time for the fusion surgery in half a month. See you in half a month." Chen Luo waved to Eden.

"See you in two weeks. Goodbye, Ellie."

"Goodbye, everyone." Alicia stood up and, arm in arm with Eden, walked to the laboratory door.

Of course, Alicia didn't forget to bring the beautiful girl radar with her.

“Oh, right, a gift for the new friend,” Eden suddenly said.

“A new friend? Do you mean me?” Pado asked cautiously.

“That’s right.” Eden looked at Paddo with loving eyes.

For some reason, even though it was their first meeting, Eden found Pado very pleasing to the eye. Perhaps it was fate.

"Since I wasn't prepared, I can only use this gem as a gift. I hope you don't mind." Eden, who didn't know what to give, took off the gem from his chest and placed it in Paddy's hand.

"!!!" Pado stared at the high-quality gem she had suddenly obtained, completely stunned.

This is a jewel plucked from Eden's body. The jewel's inherent value would make it very valuable, but Eden would make it even more valuable.

This gem is worth more than all the wealth Padre has accumulated since she can remember.

The overwhelming surprise left Pado speechless.

"What's wrong? My friend, don't you like this gift?" Eden waved his hand in front of Paddo.

"Don't disturb Paddo. It's not that she doesn't like your gift, it's that she likes it too much. Let her stay in her sweet dream a little longer," Chen Luo said.

"Oh, right, speaking of which, there's something else I need to ask you, Lolo," Alicia suddenly said.

"What's up now? If it's something too difficult, I'll max out your salary card."

"It's nothing troublesome, just a small favor." Alicia beckoned to Chen Luo.

After Chen Luo walked to Alicia's side, Alicia leaned close to Chen Luo's ear and whispered something.

Chen Luo's eyes widened slowly.

"you……"

"Shh. I'm leaving this to you. As payment, you can spend whatever you want from my salary card. After all, you definitely have a higher success rate."

[Ding! You have a new request!]

"Alright." Chen Luo sighed.

"But shouldn't you have said something like this immediately? Are you perhaps so preoccupied with your 'beauty radar' that you've forgotten all about it?"

Chen Luo seriously doubted that if Eden hadn't given Paddo a gem, leaving her stunned for so long, Alicia might have truly forgotten about it.

"How could that be?" Alicia said innocently.

……

"..." by Chen Luo.

"..." by Aponia.

Chen Luo and Aponia looked at each other in silence.

"In Aponia, the higher-ups of the Firemoth have indeed agreed to the request to release Thousand Calamities," Chen Luo said.

“…You know I won’t refuse you if you ask, so there’s no need to lie.” Aponia said softly in the darkness.

"Really," Chen Luo assured him.

"【please】……"

"Stop, stop, stop. I admit there might be some misunderstandings, but the higher-ups have indeed agreed to let me take Qianjie out of the deepest abyss," Chen Luo said.

Chen Luo hated hearing the word "please" from Aponia's mouth. It was practically a conditioned reflex.

"What's the reason? For example... because Aponia has already established rules for Thousand Calamities to ensure that innocent people will not be harmed, so it's safe to use?" Aponia asked.

"...It seems you're becoming increasingly adept at controlling your destiny. Aponia, your growth has exceeded my expectations," Chen Luo exclaimed.

They then changed the subject.

“But it’s not powerful. In my original vision, this was supposed to be Ellie saying these words to me. But for some reason it was you who said it,” Aponia said.

Aponia didn't seem too surprised that her abilities failed in front of Chen Luo, after all, Aponia already knew how special Chen Luo was.

"I have to admit, Alicia is really amazing. She knows how to achieve her goals by confusing the cause and effect of things," Chen Luo said.

Inside the Mebius Laboratory, Alicia and Chen Luo discussed having Chen Luo bring Qian Jie out.

Alicia always felt it was a shame to keep such a passionate boy in such a dark and deep place.

Alicia had already done the preliminary work, which was to report to the higher-ups that Aponia had placed a discipline on Qianjie before even making contact with him.

Taking into account the power of the Aponian Commandments, the Firemoth leadership agreed to the request to move Thousand Calamities out of the Deeper Abyss.

Alicia's task for Chen Luo was to go to the Deepest Abyss, tell the higher-ups of Aponia that they had agreed to transfer Qian Jie out of the Deepest Abyss, and then have Aponia impose a commandment on Qian Jie.

Finally, he took Qianjie out with him.

“I understand this matter. Go find Qianjie. I placed the precepts on Qianjie before you came. But how to lead Qianjie away from the deepest place is your business,” Aponia said.

"..." Chen Luo didn't speak, but just silently stared at Aponia.

“…Alright, come with me. But you’re not allowed to cling to me.” Although Aponia wanted Chen Luo to be self-reliant, she compromised under Chen Luo’s watchful gaze.

Chen Luo doesn't try to curry favor with Aponia, but Aponia is willing to let Chen Luo use her influence.

Chen Luo is not as cute as Alicia. Alicia's suggestion was to promise Qian Jie an endless war. Although it was just an excuse for Alicia, it would be very unbelievable if Chen Luo said it.

Therefore, Chen Luo decided to use another method—physical persuasion.

For example, the head pat.

However, he is likely to get beaten up during the process, so Chen Luo needs Aponia's help.

"Get out of here."

As expected, Qianjie did not seem to agree with the suggestion of leaving the deepest place.

You can't just let me in and I can't just leave whenever you tell me to.

Otherwise, where would I put my mask of a thousand tribulations?

“Thousand Calamities, please be polite,” Aponia said softly.

“…Please get out of my way,” Qianjie said politely.

Chapter 1712, Number 17: Chen Luo, come to me and act crazy!

"I really don't know if Qianjie is so angry because of Aponia or because of me, but at least Alicia's request has been completed." Chen Luo thought to himself as he left the deepest place.

[Ding! Mission complete]

Hearing this beautiful sound, Chen Luo felt happy.

Chen Luo was pleased to see the Thousand Tribulations pulled from the deepest abyss.

After all, Qianjie has been staying in the deepest place all this time. What should he do if he gets depressed?

Contrary to what Alicia thought, Chen Luo had actually prepared for this during the Eighth Herrscher incident. For example, Chen Luo had applied to allow Qian Jie, a person with a very complicated background, to enter the Herrscher of Consciousness's dream, arguing that Qian Jie was just idling around anyway.

Although Qian Jie made very little contribution to the Eighth Law, he at least caught the eye of the higher-ups of the Fire Moth, and remarkably, it was in a positive light.

Rounding up, this is equivalent to Chen Luo getting hundreds of Originium from Alicia for free.

Furthermore, given Qianjie's record of being powerful enough to kill the Fifth Herrscher and fight to a draw with the Fusion Warrior Sakura even before becoming a Fusion Warrior, simply letting Qianjie sit obediently in prison is not a wise move.

But then again, aren't all the higher-ups at Firemoth now your people?

"...That's not important. What's important is that Chen Lang's brilliant plan will bring peace to the world!"

【Oh.】

"Moreover, although I have turned all the high-ranking members of the Moth of Fire into puppets, I have not made them activate puppet mode. Instead, they are in a state of self-discipline. Although their judgment is affected to some extent by me, they are still following their own path."

The difference between this state and complete dollification is that complete dollification considers not only Chen Luo's feelings in various aspects, but also the impact of certain actions taken by oneself on Chen Luo.

In this semi-doll state, she only cares about Chen Luo's feelings and has little impact on things she does that cause Chen Luo to suffer.

"Lolo, are you listening?" Dr. Mei tapped the table.

"Huh? Oh, I'm listening." Chen Luo nodded.

"...Then repeat what I just said?"

"..." Chen Luo turned his head to look at number 17 next to him.

"..." Number 17 turned his head away.

“Lolo, I’ll say it again, the fusion warrior you chose had unbelievably low combat power during the test. She’s fine as a logistics worker, but using her as your bodyguard as a reason to bring her to the Mu Continent is going too far,” Dr. Mei said.

Dr. Mei didn't really care about having one more person going to Mu Continent, since Chen Luo and the others were using public funds to go there, and Chen Luo would pay for his own expenses. However, Dr. Mei was very concerned about why Chen Luo would make such a choice.

Dr. Mei wasn't afraid that Chen Luo was bewitched by the cat; Dr. Mei suspected that Chen Luo had seen something.

After the Proof of Adventure appeared in Chen Luo's hands, Dr. Mei's expectations for Chen Luo grew higher and higher.

Dr. Mei isn't worried that Chen Luo might suddenly harm himself, but if you told Dr. Mei that Chen Luo might suddenly return to his own world in the next second, Dr. Mei wouldn't be too surprised.

Therefore, Dr. Mei felt that Chen Luo's trip must have a deeper meaning.

“Because I think Paddo is really lucky, Mei, don’t you think so?” Chen Luo said.

“…Luck?” Dr. Mei frowned slightly.

This reason was somewhat beyond Dr. May's imagination.

Dr. Mei had expected a more serious or less serious answer.

"You've probably seen my report about Pado's experiences, right? Pado's luck surprised everyone. How about this, I won't ask Pado to come with me to Mu Continent. On the 17th, there's a lottery in the entire Firemoth world. First prize is 1000 yuan, second prize is 500 yuan, and the grand prize is yet to be announced. Whoever wins the grand prize, come with me to Mu Continent, how about it?" Chen Luo said.

“…No need, I trust you. Since you’re so sure that Pado is special, then let her accompany you to the Mu Continent. I believe you wouldn’t risk your safety.” Mei shook her head.

"Are you sure you don't need to?"

"Really, it's not necessary. After all, I can't possibly take the prize money for the first and second prizes, can I? Number 17 is my assistant; if she posts the lottery, am I supposed to foot the bill?" Dr. Mei rolled her eyes at Chen Luo.

Chen Luo only mentioned the lottery, but never said who would provide the prize money.

"..." Chen Luo looked away.
