Their commission was suspicious.

Previously, Chen Luo's ability to separate things was based on ability or talent, until he encountered an element that was smaller, more basic, but also more generalized than talent.

As long as his investigative abilities are able to see it, Chen Luo can peel it away... provided that the other party has swallowed elements from someone else that have not yet been digested, such elements are particularly conspicuous in Chen Luo's eyes.

Once the elements have been digested, they can only be "extracted" using the Whip of Elements.

So ultimately, the reason why these elements weren't involved before was because our investigative capabilities were inadequate!

[...Do you want to listen to yourself and see if you're even speaking human language?]

Although there's only a thin veil separating investigative capabilities from key elements—otherwise, investigative capabilities wouldn't have been incorporated into the system so quickly—you first need to find out where that thin veil is.

This is often the most difficult part.

Having the ability but lacking the method is often the most powerless and futile effort.

Just like many math problems... especially those involving triangles, whether or not they can be solved often comes down to drawing an auxiliary line.

Of course, that's something for high school students; college students have already given up on thinking about it.

Chen Luo's eyes gleamed with a mysterious light, as if they had seen through all truths.

Chen Luo was using his reconnaissance ability to see through things, but it wasn't as lewd as he had imagined... because Chen Luo's vision was too thorough; now, looking at Snake was like looking at an X-ray photograph.

After the element representing divinity was swallowed by Mebius, it was slowly digested. At the same time, Mebius's temperament also changed slightly. When Chen Luo withdrew his reconnaissance ability and looked up to meet Mebius's gaze, the effect of divinity became more obvious in Chen Luo's eyes.

At this moment, Möbius's eyes were filled with indifference and coldness, as if he were examining Chen Luo from a God's perspective.

Chen Luo's heart skipped a beat.

Oh no, is Möbius planning to break up with me now that he's become smarter?

What does this case teach us? It teaches us that it's best not to give our partner an intelligence-boosting item as a proposal gift. Otherwise, what if they become smarter...?

"..."

However, you don't need to worry so much. The element of truth is what makes you smarter, while the element of divinity becomes "cold."

"Mebius?" Chen Luo asked tentatively in a low voice.

"Hmm?" Mebius tilted his head slightly.

How are you feeling right now?

“I’m actually considering your plan to divide my phases into 18 parts using an archiver, then lock them in a room to devour each other, and finally hand over the name Möbius to the person who comes out. That might be the true infinity…” Möbius’s eyes flickered.

Since a single Möbius cannot achieve infinity, let all Möbius crowdfund to create a Möbius that is sufficiently "infinite".

[She's serious! If her statement before consuming the divine fragment was just to tease you, this time she's genuinely serious!]

[Oh no! The divine element hasn't suppressed the taboo; instead, it's made it even more rampant. A taboo version of detachment from worldly gains and losses. Unmoved by external influences, resolutely taking steps towards the forbidden path.]

"what?"

Chen Luo found it hard to believe.

There is only one way to solve this problem now.

"What method?"

[Kiss him. Love is the best way to temper divinity. If you do something even more outrageous than a kiss, that's fine too; the effect will be even better. Hurry, or it'll be too late.]

"Huh? Oh."

Chen Luo wrapped his arms around Mebius's waist and pulled him towards himself.

Mebius consuming divine elements doesn't mean she's as powerful as a god, so Chen Luo easily pulled her into his arms.

When their lips met, a tingling, electric-like sensation and a feeling of pleasure coursed through Möbius's entire body, instantly shattering the indifference in his eyes.

[Phew, thank goodness I made it in time...] The user-friendly plugin breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, if they don't hurry, Mebius will recover on his own.

As a high-quality talent drop, the elemental fragments are definitely high-quality elemental fragments, but the problem is that Mebius consumes very few.

However, the human-centered plugins are not without purpose. Although they are few, they will still have an impact once they are truly digested. Using the element of "humanity" to offset them is the best way, but using emotions is also not an option.

This human-centered plugin—isn't it meant to help Chen Luosheng with the "humanity" element?

"Doctor..." Just as the two were getting intimate, Klein pushed open the door and entered.

"...I may have come at the wrong time." But when Klein saw the two of them, he blushed, retreated, and closed the door.

[Continue, ignore Klein.]

Just as Chen Luo was considering whether to stop for a while, the user-friendly plugin spoke up.

……

"So you mean, forcibly kissing me was for my own good?" Mebius lay in Chen Luo's arms, looking at the several different documents in his hands.

"Yeah, why would I lie to you? Isn't this to help you dilute your divinity?"

"Then... why don't you use [Humanity]?" Mebius picked up a fragment of the [Humanity] element and held it up to the sunlight streaming in from outside the laboratory. The fragment shimmered with stunning colors.

Is this the brilliance of humanity?

"..." Chen Luo glanced at the fragment of the [Humanity] element in Möbius's hand, then at the six black dots in front of him— [...]

"Hmph, if you want to kiss, then kiss. What's there to hold back? Take this opportunity to do more?" Mebius asked after getting up from Chen Luo's embrace.

"what?"

"Don't just stand there, put all these items away. They're getting in the way. I feel like I still have the idea of ​​trying to divide them into 18 equal parts and fuse them to create a new Möbius. That won't do... From a divine perspective, it's indeed a perfect plan. But from a human perspective... you can only have one Möbius!"

Memory Möbius? That's just a toy!

"Ugh?"

“So… I’ll borrow your humanity for a moment.” After Chen Luo put away all the items he had won in the lottery, Mebius threw his white coat aside.

It's in the way and it gets dirty easily.

The word "borrow" is used well.

Upon seeing the humanized plugin's message, Chen Luo hesitated for a moment, then kicked the humanized plugin into the blacklist and cut off the source's communication with him.

With a holographic projection hovering nearby, Chen Luo felt a little uncomfortable.

"Be careful, the snake's greed is limitless," Mebius said with a hint of excitement.

"Or... are you more interested in the divine Mebius? If you want to borrow the tool, I don't mind..."

Although the user-friendly plugin has been put on the blacklist, it remains unfazed.

Because everything is going according to plan!

include……

"Huh? They're conducting a top-secret experiment, and we can't let outsiders interfere? If I want to get in, I need to go through dozens of disinfection procedures? Okay, I'll wait outside for a bit." As soon as she heard that she would have to be sprayed with disinfectant, Alicia lost interest in entering the laboratory.

Little Klein looked at the door he had locked when he came out, a hint of worry in his eyes.

Hopefully they can get there sooner.

Fortunately, Klein witnessed that scene beforehand, otherwise he wouldn't have stopped Alicia from barging in.

……

"You two are so slow." Alicia, who had already fought several rounds of the Seven Sages Summoning with Cangxuan and Danzhu, complained to Mebius and Chen Luo as they walked out of the laboratory.

"A beautiful day ends with seeing Alicia," Mebius said casually.

"That's really harsh." Alicia wasn't surprised by Mebius's comment.

After all, Mebius is just that arrogant... at least that's how Alicia sees him.

"Speaking of which... Lolo, why do you look so listless?" Alicia asked curiously.

"...I collaborated with Möbius on an experiment about human nature, which was an extreme waste of energy." Chen Luo yawned.

Little Klein, on the other hand, has already gone off to work... Although Klein is small in stature, it doesn't mean he can't work.

However, Klein No. 1 shares the same memories as the other Kleins.

Klein's gaze fell on Mebius's legs.

Klein vaguely remembered that Mebius seemed to have worn black stockings, so why are they gone?

Don't ask, it's just dirty!

"..." Seeing the user-friendly plugin pop up, Chen Luo, unusually, did not express any complaints about the plugin's prior "concealment".

Forget it.

"Experiments about human nature? Is it something like binding the body, blindfolding the eyes, and making a cut on the hand that doesn't draw blood but simulates the sound of water dripping, to see if the person imagines they are bleeding and is about to die?" Alicia, a layman who isn't a professional, thinks of this kind of famous experiment when she talks about human nature.

"More or less, there's some overlap in the content." Chen Luo waved his hand.

"Isn't this kind of experiment too dangerous?" Alicia complained to Mebius.

"If I don't even feel sorry for you, why should you feel sorry for me?"

“Well… Lolo, Virvi wants you to forge the Ninth Divine Key.” Alicia decisively changed the subject.

"So this is why you came to the Möbius Lab? You must have a lot of free time!" Chen Luo complained.

"It's not that I'm idle, it's that I'm efficient. Lolo, the Love Poem you made for me is really useful. After I finished killing my own Honkai Beast quota, I completed an extra 50% of the quota, which is why I have so much free time," Alicia corrected.

“I see. Use whichever you find convenient… But I have a feeling that your purpose in coming to the lab isn’t entirely pure; it’s just to deliver a message. After all, if it’s just about passing on a message, you could use a communicator,” Chen Luo said.

The reason Chen Luo said this was because he could see a purple exclamation mark rising above Alicia's head!

Chen Luo didn't believe there was no commission involved.

"Although I can indeed contact you using a communicator, and there is indeed something else going on this time, I must remind you—Lolora, your communicator is broken, and the message cannot be sent."

"Huh? Oh. I really did break this thing." Chen Luo said belatedly after glancing at his communicator.

As for how Chen Luo broke the communicator... that's a very serious matter, with no element of anything unserious about it.

The main reason was that Chen Luo successfully obtained a large number of element fragments by switching back and forth between the Element Whip and the Saver in the user-friendly plugin.

Humanity, divinity, reason, and truth.

Out of curiosity, Chen Luo put the concept of "rationality" into the communicator to test whether a non-living being could communicate verbally if it acquired sufficient rationality.

It turned out to be true.

The meaning of this "rationality" element is that it is an element that an entity that would not normally possess rationality will acquire and manifest after unexpectedly gaining the ability to communicate with others.

Theoretically speaking, if Chen Luo were to invest a sufficient amount of the two elements of "rationality" and "truth" into this communicator, he could cultivate a new learned and erudite individual.

However, considering that it is extremely irresponsible to give birth but not raise the child, Chen Luo removed the element of "rationality" before the other party could start thinking.

Then the communicator was broken.

[Actually, if you could find the Venerable Vajrapani, extract all the desire essence from him, and then feed it to this machine, you might be able to create a Venerable Vajrapani much faster. But perhaps just having the elements isn't enough; you'd need to add something else.]

From a rational perspective, if you find a sliver of spirituality and infuse it with your core elements and those of Möbius, you can have an unconventional child.

"..."

That sounds even more irresponsible.

[However... what do you think would happen if the elements of the Hunting Star God and the Abundance Star God were combined and nurtured into an intelligent being?]

"..."

Chen Luo wasn't sure what would happen; all he knew was that this user-friendly plugin was truly amazing.

But will anyone actually invest in this project...?

Because it's just so much fun.

"Mebius, stop it, I'll take this room first." Alicia said to Mebius, tugging at Chen Luo's sleeve.

"Take it with you, we're already tired of playing with it anyway."

"What you're saying could easily be misunderstood... But aren't you going to ask me why I took him there?"

"I don't know, I don't care, it doesn't matter."

"Hmm... Lolo, don't you think Mebius is acting strange? Why does he seem so laid-back?" Alicia whispered after pulling Chen Luo aside.

"Who knows? So what's your real purpose in contacting me?"

"Perform a fusion surgery on Eden."
