Their commission was suspicious.

Chen Luo knew that Zhong Li would definitely be very interested in this thing.

"Then what's the truth?" Although Wendy still felt that Chen Luo's lies made a lot of sense, that's precisely why Wendy wanted to know what the lies were.

"Well, the lie is... I forgot."

"Forgot? What do you mean by 'forgot'?"

"I forgot, that's all. I forgot I could use the Heart of God to mix drinks," Chen Luo said innocently.

To be honest, before obtaining this 10-minute limited edition Heart of God, Chen Luo had completely forgotten that he could replicate a Heart of God that could only last for a short period of time for use in bartending.

Honestly, the Heart of God is so precious, who would use it to make cocktails? Even Wendy himself didn't think of it.

How could you make things difficult for Chen Luo to remember this?

"That's a very typical explanation of yours," Wendy said, her voice filled with mixed emotions.

“Yes, I can feel that this is indeed the true Heart of God. Regardless of whether what you said about it only lasting for 10 minutes is true or false, it seems to me that it is real enough to fool people.” After examining the Heart of God for a moment, Zhongli returned it to Chen Luo.

Zhongli didn't want to delve into why Chen Luo was able to obtain the Heart of God, because it was up to the other party to decide whether to say it or not, and the key point was that Zhongli himself couldn't force him.

Putting that aside for now, Zhongli is experiencing the people's sentiments with the heart of an ordinary mortal.

Even if Morax were to take action given his status and strength, it remains to be seen whether he could defeat his opponent.

Therefore, Zhongli chose not to investigate further.

"So, would you like a drink?"

“Of course.” Zhongli nodded.

Zhongli has seen all sorts of grand occasions, but he has never seen anything like mixing drinks with the Heart of God.

After all, even Zhongli, who didn't care about the Heart of God, knew its importance.

Although Zhongli usually prefers tea, he is not unfamiliar with drinking alcohol, but he is different from Wendy, who is a drunkard.

[Ding! You have a new request!]

【Divine Wine】: Give Morax, the Geo Archon, a drink made with the heart of the Geo Archon.

Reward: 100 Primogems

Difficulty: Two stars

Chen Luo didn't comment too much on the reward. In fact, the reward was indeed a little less than what Chen Luo had put in, but if it was really this price, Chen Luo was confident that he could bring the other party a great success or even a huge success.

After putting the Heart of God that Zhong Li had returned into his backpack, Chen Luo, under Zhong Li's questioning gaze, took the half-formed Honkai crystal next to him, crushed it, and poured the pure Honkai energy into the Void Treasury.

As the Honkai energy gradually dissipated, two God Hearts, each radiating a strong sense of their own presence, appeared before Chen Luo. One was naturally the Heart of the Rock God, and the other was the Heart of the Wind God.

"Oh, am I included too?" Wendy was slightly flattered when she saw the Heart of the Wind God.

"What? Don't you want to try some?"

"Of course I want to!" Upon seeing the Heart of God, Wendy immediately downed the glass of wine in her hand.

Although he had just drunk a cup of wine made with the Immortal Ancestor's Demise, Venti wouldn't mind having another cup made with the Heart of the Wind God. After all, when it comes to alcohol, Venti will drink as much as he's offered.

[Ding! You have a new request!]

The Wine of the Gods

Reward: 200 Primogems + Venti's Affinity Increase by 10

Difficulty: Two stars

Look at this, this is the reward that the Wine of the Gods should give.

Then, under the watchful eyes of the two gods, Chen Luo personally used his special power to grind the divine hearts held by the two gods into powder, and then put them into two cocktail bottles to start mixing drinks.

A short while later, Chen Luo placed two glasses of wine of different colors on the table.

"Please try this, but it's best to drink it quickly, as the effects only last for 10 minutes," Chen Luo said, pushing two glasses of wine toward the two men simultaneously.

Wendy and Zhongli exchanged a glance, then raised their glasses, clinked them together, and drank their drinks in one gulp.

[Ding! Mission complete]

[Ding! Mission complete, mission a great success! Primogem reward doubled, Zhongli's favorability +10]

The first one was Wendy's reward, and the second one was naturally Zhongli's reward. Although it wasn't a huge success, it left Chen Luo slightly disappointed.

However, to be fair, the money you can make from these raw stones is much faster than working yourself to the bone to complete tasks, but unfortunately it can't last.

After all, even if the food is good, you'll get tired of it if you keep eating it. For example, Yuyuko used to give 100 Primogems every time she ate the Judgment, but now she only gives 90.

And that's still considered good.

A cup of Venti's Anemo Brew used to cost 80 Primogems, but now it's down to 50.

Prices are dropping faster than inflation.

Because Chen Luo recklessly tried to quickly extract raw stones from the other party, he got his comeuppance. Sure enough, he should have kept the other party's appetite dangling and occasionally offered a drink; otherwise, the price wouldn't have dropped.

Or develop new products, such as the true divine wine.

The intensity of a person's desire is inversely proportional to the frequency of fulfilling it. The more times a person receives their desire, the less pure their desire becomes. This can be seen as a different kind of "a little kindness is appreciated, but too much kindness breeds resentment."

Of course, the other party won't hold a grudge against Chen Luo, but they will lower their expectations a little for something they used to like to drink, which is something that can't be helped.

The easier something is to obtain, the less it is valued. Although this is human nature, Chen Luo still plans to give Wendy and Zhongli this kind of wine at most once every three days.

Don't blame me for being too cruel.

This was already Chen Luo's bottom line.

However, as everyone knows, travelers have no bottom line.

If the other party gives too much, then pretend Chen Luo didn't say anything.

After all, the purpose of a bottom line is to be lowered.

Unless it's a matter of moral bottom line.

"Ding-a-ling!" The wind chimes rang out.

Chen Luo glanced at the two gods who were closing their eyes as if they were having some kind of enlightenment, hesitated for a moment, then greeted Raven and walked out of the bar.

"Mebius, you're here." After watching the other person walk straight to a secluded corner of the bar, Chen Luo, holding a glass of wine, approached him.

I don’t know if it’s because the people who come to this bar are all sorts of strange people, but a rather strange phenomenon has emerged in this bar.

That is, there were far more people huddled in the corners than in the main area, making it look nothing like a proper bar.

"Hmm, what are you doing here? Are you here to tell me again that you don't have time to come to my lab tomorrow?" Möbius took the glass of wine from the other person and rolled his eyes at Chen Luo.

In Mebius's view, Chen Luo's unsolicited kindness was either malicious or thieving.

"Hmm? A non-alcoholic beverage?" Möbius frowned after taking a sip of the drink.

"You're not a big drinker, so I changed it to a non-alcoholic beverage for you. And I didn't come here to tell you I didn't have time to go tomorrow; I came to tell you I'll be there on time tomorrow," Chen Luo explained.

Chen Luo thought to himself that he had already stood the other party up for many days, and he was too embarrassed to stand them up again. Since he didn't have anything to do tomorrow, he could go to the former civilization.

Of course, there's also the fact that the other party has already issued a request, and Chen Luo has to go for the sake of the raw stones.

"Oh? That's quite unexpected." Having gotten used to Chen Luo's own Möbius, she was slightly surprised when she heard that Chen Luo would be coming to her lab tomorrow.

You actually know how to come, huh?

If you don't come soon, there won't be a place for you in the lab.

Chapter 387 [Research on the Tree of Imaginary Numbers and the Sea of ​​Quantum] I am the PhD!

"Haha, I really meant it before. I just didn't have time, that's why I couldn't go. Of course I'll go when I have time. When have I ever lied to you?" Chen Luo laughed awkwardly.

“You’ve been lying to me all along. You’ve kept saying, ‘I’ll definitely go to my lab tomorrow,’ but you haven’t actually gone yet,” Möbius said, glancing at Chen Luo.

"Ahem, when have I ever lied to you, except for this matter?"

"Oh, you said that yourself. Since you said you wouldn't lie to me, then tell me, do you prefer the current me or the me of that memory?" Möbius rested his chin on his hand, looking at Chen Luo with great interest.

"To be honest, I don't even know what kind of work I'll be doing in the lab..." Chen Luo, a complete novice in the lab, asked.

Chen Luo did not deceive Möbius, but he could have chosen to change the subject.

"Tch. You don't need to do anything, just cooperate with me and do the experiment properly."

"Uh, experiment on me?" Chen Luo asked uncertainly.

“Yes, that’s a good suggestion. I agree.” Möbius nodded in strong agreement.

"No, I mean don't study me." Chen Luo quickly shook his head.

"Hmph. Then why are you asking? Since you possess something like the Void Treasury, if you study it properly and combine it with the scientific knowledge you learned from me through strange means, you'll be more than qualified to be a research assistant."

Although the Void Archives were created using the First Herrscher's core, they were the last to be created. However, the Memory Mébius seemed quite familiar with them, casually mentioning them to Mébius.

The Void Archives contain all the knowledge of the entire pre-civilization, including but not limited to information on each Herrscher, data on the Divine Keys, and how to use them.

It crammed in almost everything that could be crammed in during the previous civilization.

Hmm, you asked why Otto, despite possessing the Void Treasury, doesn't know much about the Moon Throne and hasn't used any other forms of the Divine Keys that he himself hasn't seen?

LOL, you need to understand the permissions.

The Void Treasury encompasses everything, including information on the Key of God and the Throne of Moonlight.

However, the Void Archives do not grant Otto indexing permissions.

Imagine searching for a book in a library, but finding no index or cover, and having to slowly flip through each book one by one—that's how Otto felt.

Speaking of research, if you ask Mebius to be honest, he really wants to study Chen Luo carefully, but he knows Chen Luo won't agree.

But don't panic. Once the other party arrives at your lab, whether they agree or not is no longer up to them.

However, according to his future self, Chen Luo's ability to escape is exceptional, so this is something that needs to be carefully considered.

"Ah, speaking of research assistants... is it possible for a lab to have two PhDs?" Chen Luo asked.

Chen Luo really doesn't know much about this.

“Logically speaking, having a few more PhDs in a lab shouldn’t be a problem, but I don’t need those useless PhDs who are just good for nothing. What’s wrong?” Möbius asked.

"Ah? I see..." Chen Luo fell into deep thought after hearing Möbius's words.

Those who graduate with a doctorate have some real skills to them, after all, they have studied for so many years, they would not be able to graduate if they did not have some real ability.

To be honest, from Möbius's perspective, it's not wrong that he wouldn't think much of an ordinary PhD, since talented people often have eccentric personalities.

As one of the most outstanding scientists of the entire pre-civilization, Möbius could say whatever he wanted, and few people would object.

"Judging from your tone, you sound like one of those people who want to squeeze people into my lab through connections. But the problem is, you don't even know any PhDs from our world, do you? I'm quite curious, who do you want to put in? For your sake, if the person isn't too useless, I might be willing to make an exception." Möbius looked at Chen Luo curiously.

Mebius was basically certain that he was the only one from the previous civilization who had the honor of coming to the bar; Klein didn't count, as he had brought Klein with him.

But listening to Chen Luo's words now, it was as if the other party still knew the doctor of his own world. This made Möbius very concerned.

After all, being downgraded from unique to special is something that, although Mebius doesn't really care about, still makes him unhappy.

"Is it possible that I am that doctor?" Chen Luo asked tentatively, pointing to himself.

"Pfft, hahaha, Chen Luo, I admit you made me laugh." Upon hearing Chen Luo's words, Möbius laughed heartily.

"Although if you can digest some of the knowledge I have, in terms of practicality alone, you've already surpassed some PhDs. But I don't have that much power to quietly turn someone into a PhD. A graduate student is my limit; after all, I'm just a researcher with no physical strength." After laughing for a while, Möbius mercilessly struck.

One-tenth of an infinite number is still an infinite number.

Möbius was very confident in himself, so he was also very confident in Chen Luo, who had learned most of his skills through some special means. However, having confidence did not mean that the other party could become a doctor.

The other party didn't even have identification in their own world. It took Möbius a lot of effort to get identification for Chen Luo and add qualifications that would qualify him to apply for a researcher position.

"A researcher who can't even kill a chicken..." Upon hearing this, Chen Luo couldn't help but glance at Möbius again.

When you say someone is "too weak to even kill a chicken," do you mean someone who can take down an Emperor-level Honkai Beast with a single slap?

According to Kevin, every Fusion Warrior... every Hero has the ability to independently kill a Regular Being.

Uh, please ignore Paddo Phyllis for now.

Mebius may not be the most skilled fighter among these heroes, but he is certainly one of the most dangerous.

"What? Don't you believe me?" Mebius's eyes narrowed slightly.
