Their commission was suspicious.

Chen Luo has always kept his distance from the existence of demonic scientists.

Mebius is an exception.

Although Möbius sounds like a devil, he actually always tested himself first before conducting any experiment.

In a sense, it's truly remarkable that Möbius survived to adulthood.

Moreover, Möbius doesn't just randomly grab people for experiments; he's a senior scientist in a large laboratory.

The experiments conducted were all quite professional.

At least that's the case for Möbius at the moment.

Although Möbius was labeled a devil, it was only because his ideology leaned towards being inhuman.

The fact that Cangxuan and Danzhu could stay in the Möbius Laboratory for so long proves that the experimental results in the Möbius Laboratory are quite normal.

Later, Cangxuan and Danzhu left simply because of their differing ideologies.

Möbius pursued infinite evolution, and therefore was somewhat detached from the human element.

Considering a person's good or evil also requires considering the environment in which they live.

The post-apocalyptic world that Mebius lived in was actually quite unique.

The two great scientists of the previous era, Möbius and Möbius, were both of a relatively detached nature.

But it was precisely these two factors that provided humanity with a greater chance of survival in the post-apocalyptic environment of the previous era.

Although it ultimately failed.

But no one can deny Möbius's contribution to the continuation of humanity.

At least in the pre-apocalyptic era, Möbius was a hero who saved the world, a savior-like figure.

Or rather, all thirteen heroes were like this.

"But you don't seem to have placed any restrictions on this traveler. Can you guarantee his cooperation with the experiment?" the jackal asked the raven.

"Sciora...can you give me an explanation?" Chen Luo's voice trailed off, and his body appeared behind Raven at some point.

Its ghostly appearance sent a chill down the raven's spine.

"Hey, hey, hey, Jackal, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want. I did take your commission a while ago to bring this traveler, ah, no, Chen Luo, back, but didn't I give up later?" Raven quickly explained.

"Sigh, but you still managed to capture him, didn't you?" Even someone as emotionally unintelligent as Jackal could realize that the current situation seemed to be different from what he had imagined.

When the jackal makes its move, it's bound to ruin its teammates!

"I didn't bring him here. I'm showing him around the World Serpent because Gray Serpent asked me to. Chen Luo, you have to believe me," Raven quickly grabbed Chen Luo's hand and said.

“10 work points,” Chen Luo said calmly from behind Raven.

"Wait, no, this can also deduct work points?" Raven was dumbfounded.

Aren't work points meant to fulfill wishes?

"Four."

"Why are you raising the price again? You... Stop, 15 it is, I guess I'm just unlucky." Seeing that Chen Luo was about to speak, Raven immediately covered Chen Luo's mouth.

Stop talking, stop talking, or the child will cry.

I haven't done anything yet, and I've already lost 15 work points.

However, Raven didn't think Chen Luo was going too far.

At least Chen Luo was willing to believe him when he heard what the jackal said, which moved Raven quite a bit; otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to hold onto him.

But that's 15 work points!

"You're quick to speak, that makes 15." Chen Luo nodded.

Chen Luo naturally knew that Raven wouldn't sell himself for a small reward.

However, the other party did admit that they had tried to arrest him in exchange for a bonus, so Chen Luo couldn't just leave without making any response.

Chapter 226 Gray Serpent: Doctor, it's been a long time.

"Hmm? Gray Serpent wants you to show him around the World Serpent headquarters? Does this mean this traveler wants to join the World Serpent?" Jackal was quite surprised by this.

"Grey Serpent didn't say whether or not to let him join the World Serpent, but I feel that he should at least be an ally or something, right?" Raven replied after thinking for a moment.

That damned jackal made me lose 15 work points.

Although Raven wanted to say that, she had wanted the bonus herself and had taken on the mission herself, so she could only say that she was unlucky.

We lost money, but not a complete loss.

I'm having bad luck, but not completely bad luck.

Damn jackals.

However, if Jackal hadn't said what he just said, he wouldn't have suffered a loss.

15 work points...

"Oh, so that means you're not a low-level member?" Jackal was somewhat disappointed.

It is not true that lower-ranking members are not qualified to order others to cooperate with their experiments.

"Oh, right, if I remember correctly, your self-introduction as a traveler is that you can grant people's wishes, right? So, if I want you to assist me in an experiment, is that possible?" The jackal suddenly thought of something.

Before Chen Luo and Raven formed a friendship, Raven diligently carried out its missions, including the wish-granting task that Chen Luo mentioned.

Of course, Chen Luo didn't really intend to keep this a secret.

Therefore, the jackal was aware of this characteristic, but did not understand it.

However, it's not a big problem. Characteristics are something that needs to be discovered through experimentation step by step. Scientists tend to be overly confident in what they know and have a certain degree of skepticism about other information.

This is a very good quality, especially in the context of scientific experiments.

[Ding! You have a new request!]

[The Mad Scientist's Research Desires]: Jackal hopes you can assist her in conducting some scientific research; she wants to do this and that to you.

Reward: 300 Primogems + random reward.

Difficulty: 3 stars.

To be fair, the reward is not bad; tasks with random rewards are usually considered high-quality tasks.

"No." Chen Luo refused outright.

Chen Luo has many interests, but being studied by others is definitely not one of them.

Besides, if the reward for being studied is high, why doesn't Chen Luo go to Möbius?

For certain tasks that Chen Luo wanted to take on but wasn't entirely interested in, he would accept them first and then see if he could complete them. This included the laboratory request related to Möbius.

Mebius's experiment request is a four-star quest worth 1200 Primogems, with additional rewards.

That mission offers far greater rewards than the Jackal's mission.

As for the risks... well, Chen Luo felt that it would be dangerous no matter which mad scientist studied it.

At least Mebius's risk should be less, right? After all, the discount is so low.

perhaps.

So what if I die completely? At least Chen Luo has a fried egg. After dying, he can return to normal.

But you only get one chance, so you should use it on something more valuable. Mebius's reward is 1200 Primogems, which is roughly equivalent to a 10-pull. It's definitely more worthwhile than this Jackal.

Besides, Chen Luo and the jackal weren't even familiar with each other.

Therefore, Chen Luo did not accept the Jackal's mission, and there is no possibility of it in the future.

"Sigh, is that all you're going to do?" The jackal was taken aback by Chen Luo's decisive rejection.

“Yes, your request is obviously unreasonable,” Chen Luo said matter-of-factly.

"That shouldn't be the case. Logically speaking, you should at least hesitate. In my opinion, even if someone gave you a mission that couldn't be forced to be completed, you should still hesitate. After all, according to the intelligence that Raven sent back, you didn't seem to have refused anyone, at least not in most of Raven's requests." Jackal stroked his chin, a hint of confusion in his eyes.

"Do you think I'm some kind of magic lamp? Just because you summon me doesn't mean I have to grant you a few wishes. What kind of convenient walking wish-granting device is that?" Chen Luo said disdainfully.

Of course, Chen Luo also glanced at Raven again.

After all, the phrase "according to the intelligence brought back by the raven" mentioned by the jackal is not something that can be ignored.

When Chen Luo turned to look at the raven, the raven was also looking at Chen Luo.

"..."

The raven seemed to say nothing, yet it also seemed to say everything.

"Stop deducting, stop deducting, if you keep deducting, the child will really cry."

The raven now seemed to be saying, "If you dare deduct my work points, I'll cry in your face." Of course, at the same time, the raven also glanced at the jackal, and seemed to have an urge to kill her to silence her.

They didn't give me any bonus, and now they've even deducted fifteen work points from my pay.

Jackal, you are the most wicked of all.

Chen Luo didn't say anything, but simply raised one finger.

"10 work points?" Raven's eyes widened instantly.

That's way too expensive! Why don't you just rob someone?

A flick on the forehead.

Although Chen Luo couldn't read minds, he could tell from the Raven's expression that the other party had misunderstood, so he had no choice but to speak up.

"???" Is there such a way to punish someone?

What kind of weird play is this?

"What? A flick on the head?" Jackal was stunned for a moment after hearing these five words.

"Ahem, it's nothing. Alright, I'm taking Chen Luo to see Gray Snake now, do you want to come?" Raven didn't plan to stay here any longer.

Raven didn't even dare to think about how many more work points he would lose if he let the jackal continue talking after he had already taken the bait and said everything.

Of course, while asking, the raven was also praying that the jackal wouldn't go.

"No, I'm not interested. But if you're so inclined, could you ask Gray Serpent if we could have an experiment with him? Consider those bottles of medicine you have as payment." Jackal said, pointing to the medicine in Raven's hand.

"What the heck? This thing costs money?"

“It was free just now, but now, if you don’t remember to mention it, then it will cost money,” Jackal said.

"Well... alright then, I'll ask for you."

Why even ask? If you're asking for an answer, it's simply no, no means no.

"Let's go, let's go." After agreeing with the jackal, Raven grabbed Chen Luo's wrist and led him outside.

Chen Luo floated straight up in the air, and was pulled away by the raven like a kite.

Chen Luo could certainly fly freely, and his strength during flight was definitely greater than that of the raven. However, Chen Luo felt that being flown like a kite was actually quite fun.

Uh, as for sky lanterns... let's forget about them.

"Alright, I've shown you around the whole world of snakes. Next, I'll take you to see the gray snake. What are your thoughts now?" Raven said, holding Chen Luo's hand.

Raven wasn't necessarily thinking of holding Chen Luo's hand, but if you don't hold Chen Luo's hand, Chen Luo will just float there and won't move.

It looks like a hydrogen balloon.

[Ding! Mission complete]

"My impression is that World Serpent is the most luxurious, most complete, and most powerful Honkai organization I have ever seen among the three major organizations resisting Honkai: Schicksal, Anti-Entropy, and World Serpent." Chen Luo gave World Serpent the highest praise.

"Really?" Raven was taken aback.

Raven was surprised that Chen Luo would praise the World Serpent so highly.

"But when did you go to Destiny and Anti-Entropy?"

“I’ve never been to Destiny or Anti-Entropy, I’ve only been to World Serpent, which is why I said World Serpent is the strongest organization I’ve ever seen,” Chen Luo said.

"...So you don't think the World Serpent is stronger than Destiny and Anti-Entropy because you've only ever seen the World Serpent, is that right?" Raven was speechless.

"Pretty much, I'm a very honest person." Chen Luo, floating in the air like a kite, nodded.
