Their commission was suspicious.

"Oh, didn't we already do that?"

"...Are you dreaming? Ever since you said you were going to Mu Continent to discuss the matter of the armed puppets before the Ninth Herrscher sank it, and then promised Eden you'd perform the fusion surgery on her in half a month, you haven't mentioned it again. Are you dreaming about it?" Alicia gently tapped Chen Luo's head.

"Oh, I remember now," Chen Luo said suddenly.

Eden is a very busy person, and after the fusion surgery, he usually needs to take one or two days to recuperate and familiarize himself with his powers. Therefore, Eden did not have any free time before the Ninth Herrscher sank the Mu Continent.

After the Ninth Herrscher Chen eliminated Mu Continent, the whole world became busy. Eden was also busy doing charity work in various places to stabilize people's hearts, so he had even less time, and thus it was delayed until now.

“If possible, let’s finish this job that’s been dragging on for months right now,” Alicia said.

"No problem." Chen Luo nodded.

Chen Luo actually remembered the 15-day agreement... at least he had it written down in his memo.

However, the user-friendly plugin did not give Chen Luo any notification, and he didn't know why.

[Because even if you, my lord, have plenty of time, Eden doesn't. Besides, while the pre-time-jumped civilization has indeed been here for a considerable time, not much time has passed in reality, has it? The 15-day agreement hasn't been broken yet.]

"Oh, not 15 days?"

No. You probably don't realize how busy you are every day, but if you were to interview Greta, he would give you an answer you wouldn't expect.

What answer?

"A day spent running around with you is more fulfilling than 100 years of her traveling alone."

"..."

And so, Chen Luo was taken away by Alicia.

Klein, on the other hand, gathered all the disinfection equipment in the laboratory and, after mentally preparing himself, entered the same laboratory that Möbius and Chen Luo had just come out of.

Then I realized the whole house was excessively clean...

"Sigh..." Klein sighed.

It seems they made the room even messier than expected, otherwise they wouldn't have done such a thorough cleaning.

Mebius temporarily put aside his work, took out his betrothal gift—the Book of the Soul—and continued reading.

Today, the goal of the Möbius Laboratory is... to rest.

Chen Luo has collected too few elements. Mebius had already gotten tired of playing the game earlier and had almost figured out how to use the two five-star items.

As for the six-star items in this lottery...

No.

Chen Luo drew 319 times, stopping just before triggering the guaranteed reward.

What do you mean by "stopping at the last minute"?

The user complained about the lack of user-friendly plugins.

"Isn't it because if we held the lottery in real life instead of in a bar, it would cause a huge commotion? We'd better play it safe." Chen Luo still remembered how much of a commotion his last new SSS-level talent caused on the Immortal Ship.

Although the power of lies should be less perceptible than the power of corruption, who knows what outrageous phenomena it might cause?

For example, making all the lies told by everyone in the pre-civilization at this moment come true?

"Eden, I'm ready." After putting on his medical gear, Chen Luo said to Eden, who was already wearing a hospital gown and lying on the operating table in front of him.

"Yes, I'm ready too."

"Aili, administer the anesthesia," Chen Luo said to his assistant.

Alicia, dressed in a nurse's uniform, also has a unique charm.

“Okay.” Alicia nodded and began to work.

Although Alicia is not a professional, the anesthesia technique of the Fire Moth is also very advanced, and anesthesia can be achieved with just one patch.

The reason for having Alicia come was to give her a sense of participation.

Although Chen Luo felt that anesthesia was useless for fusion surgery because the pain had exceeded the limits of anesthesia.

However, Chen Luo and Alicia, especially the latter, couldn't help feeling too sorry for Eden.

"How long does it take for me to faint after being given anesthesia..." Eden was about to ask this question after being given anesthesia when he immediately fainted.

"Still want to ask how long it will take to faint? If you can last 5 seconds, I'll let you be the Herrscher of Fusion Surgery!" Chen Luo sneered, and then began the surgery.

"What a strange title for a Herrscher... But the Honkai Beast gene that Eden chose is indeed in line with Eden's usual style. The most dazzling Honkai Beast—Vrona."

"Alright, don't get distracted. Let's witness Eden's rebirth... To be honest, I'd really like to see what Eden looks like with cat ears, like Paddo. It's a pity that the fusion surgery is so advanced now. As long as the Honkai Beast genes chosen aren't too obscure, there won't be any accidents." Chen Luo's tone seemed somewhat disappointed.

"If you want to see, I can show you, but we need to do the surgery now! And... will it be successful on the first try? A fusion surgery is a real ordeal," Alicia said with some worry.

[Ding! You have a new request!]

"...Don't worry, it'll be successful on the first try. By the way, Alice, did you give the Dust Song Pot that I asked you to pass on to Eden?"

"I gave it to you, so what?"

"Well... hopefully Eden will be more comfortable when fusing with the Honkai genes."

[Ding! The commission has been posted!]

"I hope so. Sigh... Why is Eden blushing? Shouldn't it be very painful after the surgery starts?"

"...How would I know? Maybe it's because my face turned red from the pain?"

My second wish... is not to be too comfortable, otherwise it will seem strange.

[Ding! The commission has been posted!]

……

"..." Alicia's gaze kept shifting between Chen Luo and his body.

"Eden, are you really not feeling any discomfort? Didn't you feel much pain during the surgery?" Alicia asked again to confirm.

"I really didn't feel uncomfortable at all. On the contrary, it felt like my fatigue had been eliminated, just like I had taken a nap," Eden said again with certainty.

"...Lolo, did you use some kind of prop?" Alicia was even more puzzled.

Alicia heard from other people who had undergone fusion surgery that the procedure was incredibly painful.

"What are you saying? I don't understand." Chen Luo could only look at him with a confused and innocent expression.

If you ask me, my lord, you should have made a wish back then to transform pain into comfort.

"..." Chen Luo felt that the humanized plugin should just shut up.

"In short, Eden, your experience during the fusion surgery was different from others. This is probably because everyone's constitution is different, which is normal. You don't need to tell others. Also, please rest well in the days following the surgery and avoid overexertion."

"I have a few packets of health-preserving tea here. Eden, you can take them back and drink them occasionally." Chen Luo took out the three-star item health-preserving tea he had just drawn from his Adventure Token and placed it in Eden's hand, who was sitting in Chen Luo's wheelchair.

"Thank you, Luo."

"You're welcome. Just remember to bring the wheelchair back when you've recovered."

"Alright, Alice, let's go." Eden smiled gently and patted Alice's hand as she held onto the wheelchair.

"See you tomorrow." After saying goodbye to Chen Luo, Alicia pushed Eden away.

Alicia didn't care what secrets Chen Luo had, anyway... they probably weren't as big as her own secrets.

perhaps?

Watching Alicia and Eden disappear into the distance, Chen Luo opened his hand, which had been tightly clenched, revealing the small fragment inside.

"The elements of art and wealth... do indeed fit the inscription of gold." While helping Eden with the fusion surgery, Chen Luo also took the time to gather some elements.

Fortunately, the Whip of Elements can be forged into the Whip of the Mind through mental power to extract elements; otherwise, Chen Luo would have been glared to death by Alicia, who was always standing by.

In addition to these two elements, there are also the elements of pain, comfort, and desire.

The elements of a person are not static.

Just like when a person is in extreme pain, they are in extreme pain.

The wish element was extracted because Chen Luo used the magic lamp to make a wish to Eden.

Chen Luo even possesses the elements of [pleasure] and [happiness]... which he obtained from Mebius.

However, these factors are temporary and rarely remain with a person for long...

Unless one is constantly in a state of anger like Qianjie, one might fix the element of anger onto oneself.

When Chen Luo was experimenting with the Whip of Elements, the reason he didn't obtain the temporary element was because Möbius was in a dormant state, and the humanized plugin didn't show any emotional fluctuations; the root cause was simply a holographic projection...

Incidentally, while Möbius doesn't exhibit this trait while sleeping, he often displays an additional element during his daily activities—his tsundere personality.

"What would happen if we could strip away the anger element from Qian Jie and then fill him with a lethal dose of pleasure element?"

Why can't it be a element of romance? What did love-struck fools ever do to you?

"..."

Chen Luo felt that the humanized plugin was more suitable to be the God of Joy than Aha.

"Doctor? It's time for lunch." Not long after Chen Luo pushed Eden into the operating room, Hua had already arrived outside the operating room to keep watch.

Hua had already gotten used to Chen Luo's elusive whereabouts.

My assistant is more of a nanny than a bodyguard.

Responsible for daily tasks such as bringing meals and reminding people to go to bed.

"Oh." Chen Luo nodded slightly in response.

The fusion surgery took quite a while, and given that Chen Luo arrived in this world relatively late, it was already lunchtime before we knew it.

Fortunately, Chen Luo didn't connect the bar to the time of the previous civilization...

"Hey, Doctor, what's that in your hand?" Hua asked curiously.

"Emotional Candy, want to try some?" Chen Luo picked up a fragment of the [Comfort] element and placed it in Hua's hand. Hua hesitated for a moment after taking the element, then put it in her mouth.

A smile slowly appeared on Hua's face, which had been stern, as if she were recalling those days before the Honkai ravages.

"Hmm?" Hua suddenly glanced in Chen Luo's direction subconsciously.

But after seeing that Chen Luo was not acting strangely, he scratched his head again, feeling a bit puzzled. It seemed like something had touched him, something like a mosquito, but the contact area seemed larger and longer... Maybe it was his hair, but Chen Luo's hair wasn't that long.

[If you whip me, you whip me hard; if you whip someone who slips, you only lightly touch them... Double standards!]

"How can this be the same? Besides, look at what other people's elements are." Chen Luo spread his hands and looked at the extra elements that others could hardly notice.

"It's just 'loyalty,' isn't it? If I weren't inhuman..." the humanized plugin muttered to itself.

The humanized plugin is not a person, or even a spirit; you could even interpret it as Chen Luo's "illusion" or a translator.

Therefore, the element of loyalty will not arise, but there is no need to worry about betrayal.

On the way to the cafeteria, Chen Luo drew prizes from Fu Hua nearly a hundred times.

Because the force used is negligible, the element size is also pitifully small; it's replenished in the time it takes to eat a meal.

But Chen Luo's main purpose was to unlock the encyclopedia.

Loyalty, dependence, ordinariness, perseverance...

Fu Hua doesn't possess the same dazzling brilliance as Mebius and Eden, nor do she have any of the elemental attributes that sound extremely precious, extremely rare, or extremely dazzling...

But it's hard to imagine that someone could use perseverance and ordinariness as core elements, while still achieving feats that could shake the entire world.

The fact that a temporary element like persistence can become an inherent element proves the reason for the other party's success.

The more common a temporary element is, the more likely it is to be transformed into an inherent element, or even a core element, the more limitless the potential of the other party's future.

Just give him a little bit of time.

Of course, growth in some areas may ultimately be limited, since everything is predetermined in the grand scheme of things.

"Doctor, I have a feeling you're thinking something very rude." Hua, who was sitting next to Chen Luo, raised his hand and tapped Chen Luo on the head.

"Emmm..." Chen Luo didn't dare to reply.

It was probably, perhaps, indeed a bit rude...

"Does it hurt?" Hua couldn't help but ask, seeing Chen Luo's silence.

"It doesn't hurt, but I'm thinking about something."

"What is it?"
