Their commission was suspicious.

Because of financial difficulties at home, he worked hard as a detective during the day to earn money, and ran a milk tea shop at night. In his spare time, he would also read books.

Finally, through his own study and hard work, he gained the appreciation of Möbius and successfully entered the laboratory, becoming a formally employed assistant.

My junior brother is in such a sorry state.

I must teach him more things in the future.

Even Danzhu, whose character is heavily involved in romantic subplots, wondered if Chen Luo's parents died because of the Honkai. She then imagined that Chen Luo joined the Firemoth to contribute to the fight against the Honkai.

Honkai is absolutely awful.

The law enforcers are even more despicable, for causing so many people to be displaced.

"..." Chen Luo was a little confused as he felt Dan Zhu's gaze change three times in 10 seconds.

However, Chen Luo could sense through some of the characteristics of the Herrscher of Knowledge that the other party seemed to pity him.

Hmm, is it really that pitiful to sleep at 1 am and wake up at 5 am?

"Idiot Danzhu, no matter how much the Doctor thinks about it, he wouldn't lay a hand on his own lab assistant who's on the payroll. Besides, didn't you see how anxious Dr. Mebius was, even though he didn't say anything?" Cang Xuan, who had been standing silently to the side for a long time, said.

"Oh, really? Dr. Mebius is actually in a hurry?" Danzhu was somewhat surprised.

"Shouldn't you be able to tell if you pay attention? Although the doctor seems to be fine, the error rate during experiments has subtly increased quite a bit."

"Luo, what's your relationship with Dr. Möbius? Putting aside the fact that Möbius was anxious after you fell into a coma, I saw in the data entered into your lab that you're only 18 years old, right? Dr. Möbius is very strict when it comes to choosing people. How did Dr. Möbius choose you?" Danzhu asked curiously.

"Well, actually I knew Dr. Möbius before I came to the lab. The first time we met was not long ago. I happened to run into Dr. Möbius, who was drunk and dizzy. He just happened to come to my bubble tea shop..." Chen Luo recounted his first encounter with Dr. Möbius with some modifications.

In short, it's the story of how, after being picked up while drunk, Möbius discovered Chen Luo's intelligence and recruited him into his laboratory.

perhaps......

"Oh, I remember now. I remember when Senior Sister Klein went to pick up Dr. Möbius, she couldn't find him and even called me and Cangxuan. So that was the time." Danzhu suddenly realized.

"So it was just good luck," Chen Luo said.

"Hmm... Hey, Chen Luo, what are you doing here? Oh, I remember now?" Senior Sister Klein, who was a little dizzy after finishing her work and was on her way to eat in the cafeteria, was quite surprised when she passed by Chen Luo.

"It's been a long time, Klein."

"Long time no see. By the way, I'd like to drink milk tea." Klein looked at Chen Luo with some longing.

Since no one was late today, Klein hasn't had any milk tea yet.

The reason Möbius arranged for a latecomer to invite everyone in the lab to drink milk tea was not because he wanted to drink it himself, but because Klein loved it.

Seeing Chen Luo now is like seeing a savior.

The milk tea at Chen Luo Bar is the best milk tea I've ever had, bar none.

[Ding! You have a new request!]

"Okay, no problem, wait a moment." After saying that, Chen Luo turned around and ran towards Möbius's laboratory.

It would be very easy for Chen Luo to produce milk tea, but if it suddenly appeared out of thin air, it would inevitably scare Cang Xuan and Dan Zhu.

"Senior Sister Klein, Luo is so pitiful. You must remember to take good care of him." After Chen Luo left, Danzhu leaned close to Klein and said.

“???” Klein tilted her head.

No, wait a minute?

Is Chen Luo pitiful?

He's not pitiful at all.

He owns a bar that spans countless worlds, and every day all sorts of customers come to his bar to spend money. Even gods and demons have to respectfully call him "Manager" when they come to the bar.

The key is that you can drink all the milk tea you want, achieving true milk tea freedom!

I'm so envious...

However, Klein then wondered if this situation was deliberately created by Chen Luo, perhaps to fabricate a tragic backstory to make his identity more believable.

Klein nodded at this thought.

“Indeed. They have no fixed abode every day and are constantly on the move.” Klein’s imagination was rather limited, so this was the kind of story she could come up with.

Furthermore, Klein was unaware of what Chen Luo had said to them, so this was all she could say.

Upon hearing this, Cang Xuan, who had initially thought Dan Zhu was overthinking things, couldn't help but begin to wonder if Chen Luo was really in a terrible situation.

"Sigh, if Luo wants to borrow money from me, I'll lend it to him," Danzhu sighed.

The highest form of etiquette in modern times is the willingness to lend money to others.

……

"Huh? Why are you all looking at me so strangely?" Chen Luo asked as he walked out of Mebius's laboratory, carrying four cups of milk tea.

Although Chen Luo wanted to invite Möbius out for a meal, since skipping meals isn't good for one's health, Möbius first gave him a task, asking him to bring her a meal directly from the bar, and then another task, asking him not to bother her, even though it only cost 50 Primogems in total...

But Chen Luo compromised.

So in a sense, Chen Luo is really easy to deal with.

"Ah, it's nothing." Danzhu quickly shook her head.

Danzhu knew that some people had a strong sense of self-respect, especially someone like Chen Luo who became a tenured assistant through his own efforts, and might not like receiving charity from others.

Therefore, the thoughtful Danzhu decided not to reveal that they were discussing how to secretly subsidize Chen Luo.

Danzhu is familiar with the idea of ​​doing good deeds anonymously.

“If you’re careful with Cangxuan and Danzhu, those two can be quite mischievous. Of course, they’re both genuinely good people, so you don’t need to worry about them too much,” said the Herrscher of Knowledge, sitting idly on the Tree of Imaginary Numbers.

From a purely rational perspective, it's entirely possible to consider the Herrscher of Consciousness as Fu Hua, since their memories are identical. Therefore, the Herrscher of Consciousness is quite familiar with Cang Xuan and Dan Zhu.

"...Let's have some milk tea from the three senior sisters. Let's go eat in the cafeteria. I'm quite curious about the cafeteria at the Fire Moth." Chen Luo said excitedly.

Chen Luo didn't sense any malice from his two senior sisters, but he genuinely didn't know what had happened after he left, and why they were looking at him so strangely.

The Fire Moth is a United Nations-affiliated organization established specifically to combat the Honkai.

In this increasingly chaotic world, the power of the Moths is gradually increasing, along with their responsibilities and obligations.

Regardless of other factors, those who follow the flame have at least very high wages and food standards.

The soldiers of the Fire Moth are fighting bravely against the Honkai outside, so it's normal for them to enjoy relatively good treatment inside the base. Even the treatment of ordinary soldiers is quite good.

Researchers receive even better treatment than soldiers.

After all, technology is the primary productive force, a fact that is almost universally acknowledged in modern times.

As one of the most productive laboratories, especially with the recent success of the fusion surgery, the Möbius Laboratory has gained an even higher status.

However, compared to the contributions of the Möbius Lab, the Möbius Lab's reputation as a demon was further cemented by this incident.

After all, even under Mebius's guidance, the success rate of fusion surgery was pitifully low.

They weren't afraid of or repulsed by the lab researchers other than Mebius, but their unusually curious gazes still made them feel slightly uncomfortable.

In the end, the one who was a demon was only Mebius.

The world was only achieved with Mebius injured.

So Chen Luo and his friends finally managed to find a peaceful spot in a corner.

"The Moth Chaser's canteen is packed with people at lunchtime," Chen Luo remarked.

"You'll get used to it. Hmm, the hot dry noodles are especially delicious today. The milk tea is also very good," Danzhu said with a sigh.

“Indeed, the milk tea is good enough, it’s a lifesaver.” Klein nodded in agreement.

"The milk tea is delicious, but... how did you manage to get it from Dr. Mebius's lounge, and such a fresh one at that?" Cang Xuan asked, puzzled.

"Oh right." Danzhu, who had been so engrossed in the milk tea, also remembered this.

Klein did know, but it was clearly not something that could be discussed.

Just as Chen Luo was thinking about how to gloss over the situation, he suddenly heard a commotion.

When Chen Luo turned his head, he saw someone who was different from ordinary people.

A girl with long pink hair.

But what makes this girl different from the others is the pair of pink ears on her head.

The soldiers and researchers around them seemed to have a natural fear and aversion to this being whose appearance was completely different from their own.

Non-my family, its heart must be different.

Especially considering that the other party fused with the genes of Honkai Beasts to become a monster.

The Fusion Warriors are humanity's most powerful fighting force and guardians against the Honkai, but humanity doesn't thank them.

For example, the person who slowly walked up to Chen Luo and the others.

"Hello, would you like a cup of milk tea?" Just as the other person was about to speak, Chen Luo handed them his unopened milk tea and asked.

Chapter 399 Chen Luo's Fusion Surgery

"Aren't you... afraid of me?" Sakura looked at the boy in front of her with some curiosity.

For some reason, when Ying first saw Chen Luo, she felt that Chen Luo was quite pleasing to the eye.

Sakura came to Chen Luo's place for dinner not only because almost all of the employees of Fire Chaser felt a deep-seated fear when they saw her, so she wanted to find a quiet corner.

Furthermore, it was because Ying had already determined her goal the moment she saw Chen Luo.

There were still a few empty seats in the corner of the restaurant, but Ying kept quietly adjusting her route and coincidentally walked to Chen Luo and the others. She then tried to find a reasonable excuse to sit down next to Chen Luo and observe him.

Sakura doesn't care much about how others see her. Besides, other people's rejection and disgust are also a useful tool for completing the mission. For example, if others weren't afraid of her, she wouldn't be able to approach this place in a more reasonable way.

Of course, Sakura is not entirely used to the current situation either, as she has just undergone fusion surgery.

It's unclear how many super-transformation surgeries have been performed in the past, but currently there are only four successful cases in the entire Moth Chaser organization.

First is Kevin, second is Alicia, third is Mebius, and fourth is Sakura.

Sakura had only recently come off the operating table.

Chen Luo's act of treating him to milk tea truly surprised him.

"A fusion warrior, of course I know." Chen Luo nodded.

"So what's your opinion on fusion warriors?" Sakura asked after confirming that the other person didn't seem to care about her identity as a fusion warrior.

After hesitating for a moment, Ying accepted the cup of milk tea that Chen Luo handed her.

In Sakura's view, this was an opportunity to communicate with the mission target.

This is also to achieve the goal set by Dr. Mei.

[Investigation of Luo]

Dr. Mei wasn't particularly interested in Chen Luo's sudden appearance, but she was also somewhat wary of him.

However, trusting Möbius, they didn't demand a thorough investigation, only an assessment of the level of danger. After all, it was a forged document they had created themselves, so naturally, a more meticulous investigation was necessary.

The most important aspect of assessing the level of danger is investigating his attitude towards many issues. Sometimes, unintentional remarks may reveal potentially fatal information.

"A hero who protects humanity? A guardian deity who tears apart the Herrschers? That's probably it?" Chen Luo thought for a moment and said.

Chen Luo has been to so many other worlds and has seen all sorts of storms; the existence of fusion warriors is actually quite normal for him.

Furthermore, from the perspective of someone who came later, the Fusion Warriors did indeed bear these responsibilities. Regardless of their original intentions, they may just be ordinary people with their own wishes and selfish motives, but their actions were undoubtedly aimed at saving humanity.

"Hero? Guardian? Ha, what a strange concept. Before becoming Fusion Warriors, they were just ordinary people. Even after becoming Fusion Warriors, they still have their own selfish motives. Calling them heroes is already a bit much, let alone guardians." Sakura said with a hint of self-deprecation.

"You don't mind if I sit here, do you?" Sakura asked.

"Of course." Chen Luo nodded.

Step 1: Building rapport, successfully completed.

After putting down the food she had brought, Sakura hesitated for a moment before tearing open the straw packaging and inserting it into the milk tea Chen Luo had given her.

Generally speaking, Sakura should not accept something from a stranger who doesn't know her, but seeing that the other person has a cup of milk tea and the person who gave her the milk tea is sitting next to her, Sakura still took a sip for the sake of her mission.

If both parties have a cup of milk tea, then the safety of that milk tea is beyond doubt.

It's at least worth a try.

"Mmm, it's delicious." Even if it didn't taste good, Sakura would have used it as a topic to start a conversation with the other person, but Sakura didn't expect this milk tea to be so delicious.
