Their commission was suspicious.

"So what if you were woken up? What does that have to do with me? I'm not awake yet."

"That's why I woke you up." Chen Luotu revealed his true intentions.

"...Haha, you're so annoying! Hurry up and give me Durandal's photobook. I'm going back to my room to catch up on some sleep."

Yes, that's right. Do you think Chen Luo got Xiao You into bed because of his personal charm?

No, it's all about bribery.

Originally, the two dolls weren't interested in being Chen Luo's body pillows, until Chen Luo took out a photo album of Durandal. Then, Durandal said she could reluctantly show some love to Chen Luo, this lonely little brat.

Although Chen Luo was quite unhappy with Xiao You's description, he let it go when he saw that there was an armed doll to hug.

"Here you go." Chen Luo said, taking a photo out of his backpack and handing it to Xiao You.

"Hmm, wait a minute? This is..." Xiao You looked at the baby in the photo with a blank expression.

"Durandal as an infant. Isn't that obvious?"

"what?"

"We agreed that we could only get one at a time. Alright, go back to your room and catch up on your sleep."

"Wait a minute, while Bianca was indeed quite cute as a child, and baby Bianca had a unique charm, if we keep giving her pictures one by one like this, when will I ever see the latest version of Durandal? You said you'd give her pictures one by one, but you didn't say you'd start giving her pictures from infancy!" Xiao You looked completely bewildered and shocked.

"Emmm, sorry, this thing has exclusive rights. I bet even Durandal herself hasn't kept such a detailed record of every period of her life. Don't you really want to collect them all?" Chen Luo's words were full of temptation.

【Youlandel Photo Album】

A two-star item, a collection of photos documenting all of Durandal's life.

And it also has a variety of special poses.

Posing for photos, sleeping, taking a shower... cough cough.

If you can think of it, this place has it.

Although the description says it was taken by Rita, Chen Luozhen suspects that such detailed photos were indeed taken by Rita.

As for how many photos are actually in this photobook...

Chen Luo could only say that this thing was thicker than all the books he had ever read.

Otherwise, it wouldn't have been able to be promoted to a two-star item just because it's a photo album of one person.

Xiao You's plan to collect all of Chen Luo's photo albums by using him as a body pillow is a long and arduous task.

Most importantly, this thing increases in real time.

Chen Luo even saw the image of Durandal, with her full head of blonde hair, sleeping with Cecilia in her arms.

Her sleeping face was as peaceful as a child's.

Tsk tsk.

After that, Xiao You was tricked by Chen Luo into going back to her room to sleep.

"Xiao Yuan, what time did you get up every day when you were on the mountain?"

"Get up when the sun rises. Get up early in summer and late in winter. This is in accordance with the laws of the solar system. It is the law of heaven and earth."

"You even know about the solar system?"

"Wow, cousin, don't treat me like some kind of wild man, okay? There's internet access up here now, although I find practicing swordsmanship more enjoyable than surfing the internet, so I rarely go online. Besides, I've received the basic knowledge of nine years of compulsory education, okay? My master is responsible for teaching me my lessons."

"Is your master that amazing?"

"Of course. My master is the most highly qualified person in our sect."

"Ha, I originally thought that sects and the like were all about mysterious cultivation and not studying. It seems that I had a deep misunderstanding about you."

“Cousin, have you forgotten something? The cultivation civilization actually had a 500-year hiatus. So don’t think too highly of the people in the sects. They only started cultivating after the invasion of the Abyss Plane, when their ancestors left behind cultivation methods. In a sense, we were actually among the first to reap the benefits,” Su Yuan explained.

"Ah, that makes sense." Chen Luo suddenly realized.

Because he had previously imagined sects to be incredibly powerful and Su Yuan's identity as a sword immortal to be too mysterious, Chen Luo overthought things.

"Then how much stronger is your master than you?" Chen Luo asked.

Chen Luo planned to test whether his strength was considered high in this world.

"My master? If we're only talking about fighting, my master isn't as strong as me."

"what?"

"The first 50 years of spiritual energy revival were the era of gifted individuals. No matter how fast a cultivator progressed, they would still be slightly inferior to those with advanced talents. S-rank talents are extremely rare in this era, while my master is only an A-rank talent. Although she started cultivating a few years earlier than me, I have an S-rank talent, and it is the talent most suited to cultivation. My master's A-rank talent is a support talent, so if we're really talking about fighting, I'm stronger than her."

"So... bro, do you have some misunderstanding about S-rank talent? Even if you haven't trained much in a sect, an average S-rank talent is enough to make you invincible in this world."

"Of course, this only applies to Earth. As for the outside world and the Abyss Plane, S-class talents are still very inexperienced. They have strength, but at most they are considered outstanding among the younger generation. After all, there is no such thing as a 'millennium' in the Abyss Plane. Those ancient relics can come out at will."

"So as long as we don't go to other worlds, I can completely protect you, cousin, within our world." A sharp sword intent emanated from Su Yuan, demonstrating her confidence.

"Go to another world?" Chen Luo asked.

"Then you'll have to protect me, cousin. Didn't you say you're good at running away? If you can't win, just run away. Master said that running away isn't shameful, what's shameful is being defeated and giving up. All swords are forged through countless trials, and the immortal sword is no exception," Su Yuan said matter-of-factly.

"Very good, I like your personality." Chen Luo finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Su Yuan wasn't so stubborn.

"So what are we going to do today? Challenge those three S-level talents?" Su Yuan asked excitedly.

“No, I have some business to attend to in another world today. You should rest at home for a day, and I’ll take you there later,” Chen Luo said directly.

"Uh, another world... it really is an amazing existence. But never mind, since I've already promised my cousin to keep it a secret, I'll definitely keep it a secret to the end. But if there's ever a really strong swordsman or anything like that, remember to call me, and I'll spar with them." Su Yuan said, clenching her fist.

It's clear that although Su Yuan says she'll run away if she can't fight, she actually seems quite enthusiastic about fighting.

“Sure, no problem. A swordsman, right? I’ll keep an eye out.” Chen Luo thought for a moment and then nodded.

“Actually, it doesn’t necessarily have to be a swordsman; anything else will do,” Su Yuan changed her mind.

"Oh, is that so? You're not picky at all? In that case, Xiao Yuan, how about you watch the house for me all day, and I'll find someone to play a game with you? It's still early, so we should be able to find a few suitable people." Chen Luo said, glancing at the fact that it was only a little past 5 o'clock.

Chen Luo and Mebius agreed to meet at 9 a.m., and there are still 4 hours until 9 a.m., so there is still time to play with Su Yuan for a while.

"Really? That's great. I'll take the job." Su Yuan nodded quickly.

"This is a good opportunity to give Xiao Ke'er a break, so she won't complain about being my little brother all year round," Chen Luo said.

Because of Xiao Ke'er's complaints, Chen Luo is now thinking about when to make a fully intelligent doll so that it can monitor her house in Xiao Ke'er's place and also remind Chen Luo.

For now, let Su Yuan fill in for me.

After Chen Luo glanced at Su Yuan, the two of them instantly disappeared from the room.

When it reappeared, it was on a patch of ice, next to a dilapidated ruin scorched by flames.

Suddenly appearing on the sea, Su Yuan quickly regained her balance after realizing that her feet had slipped. She then stepped onto the flying sword that had appeared out of nowhere and flew above the sea.

Chen Luo looked at the environment and gently blew a breath. Ice elemental power instantly surged around him, freezing the churning waves on the sea into a frozen lake.

Of course, fighting should take place in the realm of war.

The chosen location was naturally Guyun Pavilion.

To be precise, it was the Guyun Pavilion that was destroyed.

"Now it depends on your luck. But thankfully, we still have four hours to test our luck. Eventually, a suitable opponent will appear." Chen Luo glanced at the battlefield he had created with satisfaction and gently rang the bell in his hand.

"Ring ring..."

The cooldown time for the Soul-Summoning Bell is half an hour.

……

"I'm leaving the house-keeping job to you," Chen Luo said.

"Okay," Su Yuan said weakly.

"To be honest, Yakumo Yukari's fighting style was absolutely disgusting." At the same time, Su Yuan didn't forget to complain about the battle she had just experienced.

"This is their fighting style. What can we do?"

"Hmm." Su Yuan lay on the sofa and hummed twice in dissatisfaction, but didn't say anything.

Chen Luo pushed open the bar door as usual and went inside, while Su Yuan, who was lying on the sofa, lit up when she saw the bar.

When Chen Luo arrived at the bar, Mebius seemed to have been waiting there for a long time.

"Let's go. Remember to buy the knowledge of trees and seas as soon as you've finished signing in." Möbius seemed even more impatient than Chen Luo, kicking open the door that Chen Luo had just closed and taking Chen Luo's hand as they walked out.

After being led to the other world by Mebius, Chen Luo looked up at the slightly gloomy sky.

Moth drawn to flame, here I come!

The first journey of the Moth Chasing the Flame begins!

"Oh, by the way, did you bring Klein some milk tea? You promised her yesterday," Möbius suddenly asked.

"Uh... I'll go back and get it." Chen Luo hesitated for a moment, then pushed open the bar door again.

The first journey of the Moth Chasing the Flame has come to an end!

Exploration time: 12 seconds.

Exploration findings: None

Conclusion: I just arrived at the bar and you brought me into this world, how could I have had time to prepare milk tea? Don't blame it all on me, okay?

Chapter 393 Möbius and Mei

"So why should I drive?" Chen Luo asked, puzzled.

"I'm the guest, aren't I?" Chen Luo asked Möbius, who was admiring the scenery beside him, while driving.

Although Chen Luo had always ridden a bicycle to and from school and had never even taken a driving test, his expertise in furniture made him an all-around master.

Chen Luo could even give the opponent a ditch drift.

But the other party probably doesn't like it.

“No, you are my assistant now, my personal assistant,” Mebius said somewhat lazily.

Möbius wasn't interested in chatting with Chen Luo; what he was really interested in was getting Chen Luo to clock in at the lab as soon as possible, and then getting him to buy the knowledge about trees and the sea.

Chen Luo is absolutely wicked. He told me about the knowledge of trees and the sea, letting me know how great an opportunity was right in front of me, and then... he didn't buy it.

He actually decided not to buy it, the reason being that he had to clock in at his own lab. How can anyone be such a jerk?

"Um... a life assistant? It may be a bit presumptuous, but I still want to ask, Möbius, do you even have a life?"

"What do you mean?" Mebius turned to look at Chen Luo.

"From what I know of you, you're probably a madman who spends 80% of his time holed up in the lab. Where would you find the time to go out and enjoy life? Besides, if you really had any sense of life, you wouldn't have come out to pick me up in this white coat. And also, isn't Klein your assistant? What do you need me for if you have Klein?" Chen Luo complained.

Although Klein was Möbius's research assistant, Möbius usually went to Klein for help whenever he needed anything.

"Oh, you mean this? I was working all night in the lab, but I only remembered I was supposed to pick you up after my alarm went off, so I just slept on the bed in the lab break room and came to pick you up without changing my clothes. Shouldn't you feel honored?"

"Yes, yes, I'm so honored, but to be honest, staying up late is bad for your health."

“I don’t want to discuss health issues with someone like you who goes to bed at least after 1 a.m. every day.” Möbius glanced at Chen Luo.

Does Mebius know what time Chen Luo's bar stays open every day?

"But speaking of which, why did you take such a long detour?" Chen Luo asked, looking at the navigation and having driven for 10 minutes without reaching his destination.

"Do you think the Fire Moths are all useless? Their surveillance of their base is all-encompassing. If they want to bring you, an undocumented immigrant whose origins are completely unknown, they'll have to go somewhere far away, at least to a normal residential area."

"I could drag you straight from the bar to the lab to clock in, in fact I really want to do that, but then you wouldn't have the record of the Fire Moth entering."

"I've gone to great lengths to deal with you, this unregistered resident," Möbius sighed.

As a UN-affiliated organization dedicated to resisting the collapse, Moth Chaser possesses considerable strength; otherwise, it wouldn't have been able to withstand destruction for so long. Therefore, its personnel vetting process is naturally quite rigorous.

If you see someone appearing in the Firemoth's base without any entry credentials, you'd be doing Firemoth a disservice by not thoroughly investigating.

"Can you please stop calling me an undocumented immigrant? I'm a traveler, after all."

"But you are an unregistered person in this world."

"Speaking of unregistered residents, I'm really curious. Möbius, how did you manage to get me into your lab? Logically speaking, as one of the important labs of the Fire Moth, it shouldn't be a big problem to put people into your lab, but to get a series of identity documents is a bit difficult, right?" Chen Luo was genuinely curious about this matter.

If we're talking about creating a fusion warrior, Mebius is good at it, but when it comes to relationships, frankly speaking, Mebius doesn't seem to be someone who has any expertise or influence in that area.
