Their commission was suspicious.

Come to think of it, I promised Mébius less than half a month ago that I would go to Mébius's lab in Moth of Fire for an internship, and the day before yesterday I promised Mébius that I would go tomorrow. But it seems that I will have to stand him up for another day because of fighting the Vortex Demon God Oser.

Although Chen Luo hasn't received a mission to defeat the Vortex Demon God Osel, he has received a mission to help Yingmei meet the Immortal Ancestor's demise. This mission, at least, requires Chen Luo's participation.

In other words, Chen Luo needs to reach a certain level of participation in this task in order to receive the reward.

Moreover, Chen Luo had already figured out how to ultimately and decisively help Yingmei.

Although I haven't received the quest to fight the Vortex Demon God Oser yet, isn't it just a matter of time? As a qualified traveler, you need to learn to entice others to post quests even before they post them.

Besides, it wouldn't be a loss for Chen Luofa to entrust someone else with the task.

Chen Luo's talent is probably, perhaps, possibly harvesting the desires and wishes of others and turning them into raw materials that can fulfill all wishes, but such desires and wishes are of little use to others.

The other party hasn't suffered any losses, so why not issue a task?

Send it, send it! If you don't send it, one of us will have to lie down today.

“If you don’t come to my lab soon, one of us will be in bed today,” Möbius said menacingly.

Being favored makes one fearless... Well, it's not that much favoritism, at least the other person probably hasn't felt it yet.

But Mebius has already given Chen Luo his only two assistant positions, so why isn't this guy coming? Does he think the treatment isn't good enough?

"No, don't say that. You might not believe it, but I really want to go to your lab. Tomorrow, oh no, the day after tomorrow, definitely the day after tomorrow," Chen Luo promised.

Although Chen Luo felt that his guarantee didn't have much weight.

After all, they've really been standing up Mebius for quite a while now.

“I don’t believe it,” Mebius said simply and clearly.

In fact, it's perfectly normal for Mebius not to believe it.

“But I really have something to do tomorrow. I’m going to save a country,” Chen Luo said to Möbius with a sincere expression.

Although that country won't be in trouble even if it doesn't save itself.

“Your country…” Mebius’s tone softened somewhat.

Although Möbius personally didn't feel any sense of belonging to his country, he could understand the sense of belonging that ordinary people have to their country, so it would be understandable if he were to go and save his own country.

"Ah, no, it's a country from another world..." Chen Luo muttered under his breath.

"What? You'd rather save other countries than come to my lab? Is my lab some kind of den of dragons and tigers? Or... are you afraid of me?" Although Möbius was rather irritable in the first few sentences, he loosened his grip on Chen Luo's hand when he said the last sentence.

After Chen Luo looked up in confusion, he noticed that even Mebius's eyes had dimmed somewhat.

"I didn't expect even you to be afraid of me..."

"Uh, um, Mebius, don't be sad, I really..." Chen Luomeng was stunned.

Why are you so heartbroken so quickly?

"Heh, poor acting." But before Chen Luo could finish speaking, the memory entity Mebius looked at Mebius with a mocking expression.

Besides Klein, who in the world understands Möbius better than Möbius?

Since Mebius had never studied acting before, nor had he ever done anything like that, it was easy for others to be caught off guard. But in the eyes of the memory Mebius, Mebius's acting was obviously fake.

"You... if you can't speak, then shut your mouth. Judging from your performance, I have reason to choose not to create you again." Mebius stared at the memory body Mebius with a dangerous glint in his eyes.

"Emmm..." Chen Luo felt a mix of emotions as he realized that he had actually been fooled by Mebius.

Who would have thought, Mebius, that you with your thick eyebrows and big eyes would actually learn to lie. Oh no, I mean, to act.

"I..." Chen Luo hesitated, wanting to speak but stopping himself.

“Shut up. You absolutely have to come to my lab the day after tomorrow. If you don’t come, I might just drag you straight from the bar into the lab. And now it’s time to teach this clueless guy a lesson.” Chen Luo had barely uttered a word when Möbius put his finger to Chen Luo’s lips, effectively silencing him.

Mebius now feels it's time to deal with this Memory Mebius.

[Ding! You have a new request!]

【nmd, why aren't you here?】: Be on time for the Möbius Laboratory of the pre-civilization the day after tomorrow. No more delays, no more standing up Möbius.

Reward: 300 Primogems + Random Skill Level +1 (Skills obtained from Mebius are limited to this reward)

Difficulty: 3 stars

Look how angry Mebius is, he's even issued a three-star commission.

This shows that Mebius truly "loves" Chen Luo, the guy who always fools him.

However, the reward of a random skill level increase of 1 is indeed good, the only pity is that it is only available to Mebius.

If this restriction weren't present, it would be wonderful to add this reward to [Furniture Mastery].

Perhaps then I can upgrade to become a furniture master.

To be honest, the most useful skill Chen Luo possesses, and the one that helps him the most, is his mastery of furniture. It's an old-school skill that's still incredibly powerful.

However, the scope of this is a bit too broad. Strictly speaking, Chen Luo only obtained two skills from Mebius: resurrection and Infinite Serpent.

But the key point is that Mebius gave him a favor gift—a scalpel with dozens of skills attached.

Chen Luo wasn't sure whether this range referred to [Resurrection + Infinite Serpent] or all skills.

Or... when we draw the reward, should we return that favorability gift to Mebius first?

Hmm, Chen Luo is a little afraid of getting beaten up...

And the key point is that it may not be effective at all.

"Heh, you won't create me? Do you really think that counts as creation? What do you think I am to you? Such a big mouth, be careful you don't hurt your back." At the same time, the memory entity Mebius took over Chen Luo's position and launched an attack on Mebius.

Moreover, the results are outstanding.

"History is inevitable. My existence now means that I will eventually exist, and your disappearance means that you will eventually vanish. The future belongs to me."

Mebius's words undoubtedly hit a nerve.

"Hmm? You're quite arrogant. The future is uncertain, so how do you know that time cannot be changed? Besides, what makes you think that your current memory is your true memory and hasn't been tampered with?" Möbius retorted, offering various hypotheses, all based on reality.

"Hmm, that actually makes a lot of sense. When you get back to the lab, you should check if you've damaged your brain. To even come up with such a suggestion, tsk tsk tsk. Do you think I wouldn't be able to tell the difference with such a clumsy method? Tampering with memories? You're really something."

"..."

Feeling the chilling murderous intent emanating from this conversation, which lacked any visible weapons, Chen Luo admitted that he was slightly afraid.

You're saying they're both Möbius, so why is there such a bad relationship between them?

Chen Luo thought that if both Alicia existed at the same time, they would probably be praising each other's looks and trying to get closer to their other selves.

After all, the highest level of enlightenment is being with oneself.

As for Brother Jie... I'm really not sure.

As for Kevin, it depends on which period of Kevin we're talking about. If it's Kevin during his student days, he's like an ice block and a passionate young man. If it's Kevin in his later years, it's like two ice blocks standing there, applying a cold buff to each other.

The atmosphere around Sakura should be quite friendly.

Sue's words suggest that they are two riddle-solving people.

Kosmo's words might be like two people standing there, frantically thinking about something in their hearts, but ultimately unable to say it out loud, ending up like a Sichuan opera face-changing performance.

The only one who would tear each other apart like dogs is probably Mebius, but they are the only two who can meet.

To maintain a stable future timeline, Chen Luo will not allow the others to see their future selves in the present.

The only one who could see the other was Mebius, who wanted to cut the other into pieces. It was truly a cruel twist of fate.

"As expected, I am my own biggest hater." Chen Luo stood at a distance and looked at the two Mebius who were radiating a low pressure and whose surrounding area was empty of people within the two tables. He sighed.

That's right, Chen Luo shamefully slipped away.

But Chen Luo didn't feel ashamed. After all, even Alicia wouldn't dare to join in that kind of atmosphere, right?

My bar counter is still the safest.

What does it mean to love and hate each other? This is what it means to love and hate each other.

"Can you stop generalizing? Normally, the mainstream is for the past self and the future self to live in harmony, right?" Raven, sitting at one of the bar seats, complained about Chen Luo's words.

Of course, Raven also knew that Mebius himself was not normal.

After all, Raven had experienced it firsthand; Möbius was extremely dangerous.

So Raven was surprised to find that he didn't find it strange at all that the two Mebius would fight each other whenever they met.

"Then you're wrong. To be honest, in the cases I know of where the past self meets the future self, 80% of them are in order to travel back in time and kill the past self," Chen Luo retorted.

Someone capable of traveling to the past and seeing themselves is unlikely to be an ordinary person. Such a person would have a special reason for traveling to the past and seeing themselves; it couldn't just be for a casual meeting. For example, someone like Emiya who wanted to cut off his own elbow.

Simply put, what is considered normal by others is the most abnormal thing in the exceptional case.

Among geniuses, mediocrity is the greatest extraordinary.

In the broken world, non-love is the rarest form of romance.

Among those who can travel to the past to see themselves, only a minority would not want to cut off their past selves.

Simple and easy to understand.

"Really?" Raven asked, somewhat skeptical.

Life is so precious, why kill yourself? After killing yourself, will your future self be able to live?

"Why would I lie to you? You work as a bartender in this bar, and sooner or later you'll see some strange things," Chen Luo said.

"But speaking of which, you don't seem as excited as I expected. You should be happier to see your brother and have a villa island." Chen Luo asked, leaning on the bar counter with his left hand and looking at the raven on his right.

"It's not that I'm unhappy, it's just that I've been happy for over a day, and I'm tired of being happy," Raven said helplessly.

Being happy can actually be quite mentally taxing; excessive emotional fluctuations can easily lead to mental exhaustion.

After learning yesterday that her brother was still alive, and shortly after receiving the message from Gray Serpent, Raven was reunited with her long-lost brother.

"I'm happy as I am, and I should thank you, but ultimately I feel that all of this happened too fast."

"I don't have any grand ambitions. I only have two goals right now: one is to own my own villa island, and the other is to find my brother."

"I really didn't expect it. After working as a bartender here for a few days, all my wishes have come true. It was so sudden that I feel a little empty now," Raven said, shrugging his shoulders.

"...Are you showing off?" Chen Luo glanced at Raven.

Just like a child, if they get a perfect score, even if they say it's nothing, they will always try to make their presence known to their parents in various ways.

"How could that be? I'm really empty inside. If I could, I really want to have another goal to strive for. Chen Luo, aren't you amazing? How about you grant my wish?" Although Raven's tone sounded like she was asking Chen Luo for help, the smile on her face was completely undisguised.

Yes, that's right, I was just showing off.

Chapter 343 Otto: Kallen, where is my Kallen?

"A person can't live without ambition; after all, humans are creatures that need hope. Work points can be deducted so easily, and they come so easily anyway, and taking out a loan doesn't feel like a real thing."

Crucially, the money used to pay for the villa island remained in Raven's account.

This gave the raven the illusion that its wishes had suddenly come true even though it hadn't put in any effort.

[Ding! You have a new request!]

[Goal]: To have a new goal to strive for.

Reward: 20 Primogems

Difficulty: Minor

Chen Luo was stunned for a moment when he heard the task prompt.

Oh ho? You can joke around as you please, but if you issue a commission, then the nature of the matter changes.

Chen Luo's gaze towards the raven suddenly deepened.

"Hmm, why are you looking at me like that?" Raven asked, noticing the slightly strange look in Chen Luo's eyes.

"It's nothing, I'm just envious. I'm envious that all your wishes have come true," Chen Luo said, shaking his head.

"Don't be envious, you can do it one day." Raven patted Chen Luo on the shoulder.

"..." To be honest, I'm the boss, right?

I should be the one feeding you chicken soup, not the other way around.

Oh well, just be happy for now. Who knows how long you can stay happy?

"Oh, by the way, my villa on the island will be almost finished tomorrow. Destiny's technology is really fast; the construction speed and quality are both excellent. After the villa on the island is completed tomorrow, I'll invite you to dinner on the island tonight, and I'll cook," Raven said casually.
