Their commission was suspicious.

Chen Luo was still thinking about developing further in this world, since post-apocalyptic worlds are not easy to encounter. Although there are indeed many post-apocalyptic worlds among countless worlds, Chen Luo has only encountered this pre-civilization world so far.

Moreover, now that he has received the favor of his future self, he should start preparing for his past self. At the very least, he should build good relationships with those heroes in this world, since their abilities are quite enticing.

Upon closer reflection, Chen Luo realized that he had quite a lot to do in the previous civilization, so a base was essential.

"In the cafeteria, you can use your work ID or your meal card to pay, which is like paying with your face. Although the work of the 'Moth Chaser' is somewhat dangerous, the benefits are very good. As long as you don't eat one serving and throw away ten, you won't reach the limit on your meal card. So there's no need to get a special meal card."

"But we need to arrange accommodation, right?"

"No need to do anything. Just use the communicator to notify the welcoming staff that you can sleep in my dorm from now on. It will save you a dorm room and make it easier for you to go home to sleep every day. After all, you can't stay in the lab all day, can you? You're very busy."

When Chen Luo heard Mebius use honorifics, he knew that Mebius was still upset that Chen Luo had stood her up for several days. However, Chen Luo couldn't deny or guarantee anything because he was really busy.

Although Chen Luo didn't know what he was busy with, he was really busy.

From posting missing cat notices to saving the world, Chen Luo would give up all other work as long as he could get the raw stones.

Chen Luo could never imagine what his next mission would be.

Moreover, Chen Luo still has a lot of things to do within his own main world.

However, Chen Luo still has less than half a day of leisure time each day, which he can use to improve his scientific literacy and incidentally collect raw stones.

Yes, it was just a side effect.

In the end times, there are many desires arising from the need to survive.

Although the pre-civilization is not yet the end of the world, it is close. It already has the Honkai disease, and as a Honkai phenomenon, it spreads extremely quickly and over a wide area.

If we were to comment on the world after the 7th Honkai Impact 3rd, there's a fitting description.

That is the continent of Terra.

You can think of the current pre-civilization as the continent of Terra ravaged by Oripathy. It's just that the Honkai disease itself cannot provide the afflicted with that special power.

Although the collapse has claimed countless lives, civilization continues to develop, society continues to progress, and order has not yet broken down.

It's just that the existence of Honkai can no longer be concealed.

Although Chen Luo now has a way to go to Terra, the problem is that it's a pre-civilization, which is more valuable for development.

Besides, Chen Luo only knows one person named Ling in the Terra continent.

......

Under Chen Luo's reasoned argument and insistence, Mebius had no choice but to reluctantly waste another bit of Chen Luo's time and accompany him through the entire procedure.

The process wasn't actually that complicated; Moth Chaser was quite efficient, especially when Mebius was there.

It was impossible not to process the application for Möbius; after all, he was the head of a key laboratory at the Moth of Fire. Besides, these people were also afraid of Möbius.

What if you suddenly faint while walking through the Fire Chaser's Pavilion, and when you wake up you find yourself on Möbius's experimental table...?

No one would have imagined receiving such an honor.

"Oh my, isn't this Mebius? Long time no see. Who is this?" After Mebius finally finished accompanying Chen Luo through the procedures and arranged for Chen Luo to stay next to his dormitory, Mebius ran into someone he didn't want to see right now.

Chen Luo, who was flipping through the newly acquired "Moth Chaser Employee Handbook," looked up after hearing that familiar voice.

"Alicia, is there something you need? If not, I'm leaving." When Mebius saw Alicia approaching, he barely raised his eyelids, and after saying that, he planned to leave with Chen Luo.

Alicia can be considered a rare heartthrob among the Moths of Flame.

Even after the other party became a fusion warrior, this remained the case.

No one dislikes Miss Alicia.

No one could refuse Miss Alicia.

Alicia loves everyone, including Mebius.

Therefore, it's understandable that Alicia would approach and show concern when she saw Mebius being treated with awe by others.

However, Mebius was clearly not interested in this good intention; all he wanted to do was get Chen Luo to the lab to sign in as soon as possible.

"Don't be so cold, it's not easy to meet you. The young man next to you... seems quite friendly. Hello, my name is Alicia, please take care of me in the future." Alicia leaned closer to Chen Luo, glanced at his name tag, and then extended her hand to him.

"Ah, hello, my name is Luo." Chen Luo was not opposed to Alicia's initiative.

After their brief separation, Chen Luo received a message from the other party.

Alicia

Discount: 8.4% (5% off)

The following is Alicia's future favorability discount, while the previous one is clearly the present one.

This discount is undoubtedly slightly lower than the discount a normal person would receive when meeting Chen Luo.

Normally, even with Chen Luo's achievements like "The Great Philanthropist" and "Friend of Non-Humans," the discount should only be 9% at most, because the other party is neither a loli nor a child, nor a citizen of Mondstadt.

Such a low discount shows that the other party truly loves everyone and is friendly to everyone.

"An assistant? To be able to enter Merius's experiment as a research assistant at such a young age is truly remarkable." Alicia was slightly surprised when she saw Chen Luo's identity.

After all, Alicia knew how strict Mebius was in selecting people.

The key point is that the other party is still so young.

"I hope I can get a permanent position in the future. Dr. Möbius has taught me a lot," Chen Luo said.

Chen Luo's age doesn't look like that of an adult at all. However, there isn't much difference between 17 and 18 years old. But one is an adult and the other is a minor, so Mebius raised Chen Luo's age by one year and wrote that he was 18 years old.

"Luo, the way this name is written... are you also from the East? Like Hua and Ying?" Alicia asked after staring at Chen Luo's name and appearance for a while.

"um, yes."

In pre-civilizational times, people in the East mostly used pinyin for their names, and these names were often single characters.

Such as Su, Mei, Hua...

Chen Luo is also preparing to follow the trend.

"Huh? Is someone calling me?" Just as Chen Luo finished speaking, a voice rang out nearby, and a figure walked out from around the corner.

A trace of sadness still lingered on her beautiful face, her eyes were somewhat dim, and she wore a Moth of Fire combat suit.

The other person looked only slightly older than Chen Luo, at most the age of someone in college.

"Oh, it's Hua. Long time no see."

Chen Luo was too preoccupied to care about the other person at the moment, and instinctively covered his chest.

The Law of Consciousness residing in Chen Luo's sea of ​​consciousness is becoming restless.

[He's an old relic, a young and still immature old relic! Ah, I'm dead!]

This is roughly what the person who understands the laws of nature wanted to say.

It took Chen Luo several seconds to completely subdue Shi Bao. However, after Chen Luo regained consciousness, he found that Mebius had a strange look on his face, Alicia had a teasing look on her face, and Hua seemed to want to avoid Chen Luo's gaze.

"???"

What happened?

"Staring so intently at a girl you just met, could it be... love at first sight?" Alicia asked Chen Luo as she leaned closer.

"!!!"

Chen Luo just realized that during the ten or so seconds he was distracted and trying to comfort Shi Bao, his eyes had been fixed on Hua.

Damn it! Xiao Shi! You've missed dinner!

No, lunch is gone too!

Chapter 395 Cangxuan and Danzhu

Chen Luo covered his face and followed Möbius toward the other's laboratory, feeling utterly hopeless.

I was so embarrassed just now.

Little Shi, you'll see what happens to you later.

Upon seeing a beautiful girl, the first thing that comes to mind is staring at her intently for about ten seconds. Who wouldn't be intimidated by that?

Although Fu Hua didn't show much resistance, the other party's evasive gaze seemed to say it all.

The good news is that when Chen Luo shook hands with the other party, the discount was 9.0%.

Although it's 0.6% less than Alicia's 8.4% discount, firstly, the other party isn't a fusion warrior yet and can't exert the effect of Non-Human Friend, and secondly, Chen Luo's performance just now was indeed a bit abrupt.

Fortunately, a 9% discount is still enough to get a good deal for acquaintances.

“Mebius, just now…”

"You don't need to explain to me. It's your freedom to like whomever you want..." Möbius said calmly as he walked ahead.

"Uh..." Although Mebius told Chen Luo not to worry about it.

But Chen Luo's intuition told him that it was best to explain more now.

Sometimes, talking a lot of nonsense isn't a bad thing.

"You've been to bars before, so you probably know that guy who looks a lot like Hua, right? The one who's always following me around..."

Everyone who had been to the bar knew about the existence of the Herrscher of Knowledge, but Chen Luo had never told the Herrscher of Knowledge what his identity was.

The Herrscher of Knowledge's identity in the bar is actually very complicated. Because the Herrscher of Knowledge loves to have fun, she likes to make up identities for herself. Currently, the Herrscher of Knowledge has identities including, but not limited to, Hua, a warrior from a previous civilization, Fu Hua from the future, and so on.

"Of course I know, but I really don't care. You don't need to tell me these things."

“I know you don’t care, and I’m not going to explain it to you, I’m just stating a fact.” Chen Luo took two steps forward, changing from following behind Mebius to walking alongside him.

No, I sense that you care a lot.

These are Chen Luo's true feelings.

"Her identity is actually..." Just as he was about to reveal the identity of the Herrscher of Knowledge, Chen Luo suddenly stopped.

"Speak up?" Mebius turned to look at Chen Luo.

You still say you don't care.

Chen Luo's eyes were full of teasing, but he didn't dare to actually say the flirtatious words.

Being caught red-handed is one thing, but having someone reveal that red-handed is another.

"Ahem, as for her identity, you should have guessed by now. That's right, she is Hua, or more precisely, 5 years in the future," Chen Luo said.

Now that they are seeking Mebius's forgiveness, they naturally cannot afford to do anything too reckless.

"Is that all you wanted to say? I already know these things without you having to tell me. Say something of value?" Mebius said coldly.

Mebius had clearly noticed the mocking look in Chen Luo's eyes when he looked at him earlier. Now that Chen Luo had revealed so little information, it was obviously not enough to satisfy Mebius.

"If the other party is just Fu Hua from 5 years in the future, then there's nothing to discuss. But what if she's Fu Hua from 5 years in the future, and then two years in the future?"

"In other words, if you move your current time forward by 5 years, you'll reach the timeline where Otto, who was talking to you about the tree and the sea, is located. If you move that timeline forward by another two years, you'll reach the timeline where Fu Hua is located."

“Your timeline in the bar is so confusing,” Mebius remarked upon hearing Chen Luo’s comment.

Won't something go wrong with such a chaotic timeline? Or is the inevitability of time simply unbreakable?

Generally speaking, if a person knows what will happen in the future, they will more or less make changes accordingly. And after the changes in the past, the future will also change accordingly.

If this bar connects two timelines, it should be able to maintain the stability of time, but dealing with three different timelines would be very troublesome.

Is it really safe that nothing will happen?

"and......"

"and?"

"Oh, we've arrived at the lab," Chen Luo suddenly said, pointing to the lab in front of him.

"..."

What a bastard, Chen Luo?

Once it piqued people's interest, they simply abandoned the project.

Forget it, the knowledge of trees and the sea is more important right now. Let's spare their lives for now.

Mebius removed his work badge and affixed it to the scanner in the lab. After authentication, the lab doors slowly opened, and Chen Luo finally saw the true face of Mebius's lab.
