Their commission was suspicious.

"Thank you for the compliment. This is what I made. Although I can't say I'm very good at other things, I dare to say that I'm second to none when it comes to making drinks and food. That's my pride!" Chen Luo said proudly.

Of course, this is on the premise that it takes place in a bar.

Outside of the kitchen, Chen Luo's culinary skills are only at the proficient level, at most a five-star chef.

"Wow, Luo, is your cooking really that good? Next time, could you get some for me and Cangxuan? We'll pay for it." Danzhu said immediately after hearing this.

In a sense, this does seem to be a way to help the other party quietly.

Exchanging labor for payment shouldn't hurt the other person's self-esteem, right?

[Ding! You have a new request!]

"Of course, that's fine. As for payment, there's no need for that. I just hope my two senior sisters can teach me some useful things. After all, I've only just arrived at the lab and I'm not familiar with many things here," Chen Luo said modestly.

"That won't do. Tomorrow or tonight, we'll use the dinner you brought to decide the price. If it's too bad, we won't pay," Danzhu said sternly.

"Those two senior sisters might go bankrupt, after all, there's no dish in this world that I can't cook, and no dish that I can't cook well," Chen Luo said, having casually accepted the task.

When Ying saw them discussing Chen Luo, she silently ate her meal and recorded their conversation with a voice recorder.

Chen Luo, who possesses the powers of the Herrscher of Corruption and the Herrscher of Thunder, is naturally extremely sensitive to electronic products, but he doesn't care.

Chen Luo already knew that Ying was Mei's person.

"Speaking of which, Luo, what have you studied? I'd like to help you more accurately. I'm the most capable person in the entire lab besides Dr. Mebius and the Klein World. There's a lot I can teach you," Danlun Zhu asked.

"Heh." Cang Xuan chuckled coldly from the side.

“It’s a pity that Dr. Möbius and Senior Sister Klein are both quite busy. So it’s just that I have to teach the new students. Even if I encounter something I don’t understand, I can still ask Senior Sister Klein for help. You agree, right, Senior Sister?” Danzhu looked at Klein.

“...Either is fine,” Klein said vaguely.

Don't drag me into your bragging.

I can't teach them anything.

Danzhu and Cangxuan may not know, but doesn't Klein know?

Klein had heard from Möbius that Chen Luo seemed to have something that could directly teach the other person's skills, and he had learned a lot from Möbius.

Klein didn't think she could teach Chen Luo anything.

Moreover, if Chen Luo doesn't understand something, he can just go and ask Mebius.

However, Klein was quite curious about what Chen Luo knew and what his responsibilities were in the lab.

"What do I know... Well, I have quite a bit of knowledge about modern science, but due to certain special reasons, although I have learned a lot, I can only be considered proficient."

"He's the kind of researcher who's learned a little bit of everything, knows a little bit about everything, but hasn't gone all the way down any one path," Chen Luo said.

Chen Luo is proficient in many things, all thanks to his mastery of furniture, but there are only a few things he is proficient in beyond that, perhaps ten to twenty.

"Of course, if I had to say what I'm best at, besides helping others solve their problems, it would probably be chess. I'm very good at all kinds of chess, the kind where I can win even if you give me two pieces in a row," Chen Luo said.

"Huh? Gomoku? Are you kidding me? I'm the Gomoku champion from the lab, I won't listen to you saying that." Danzhu expressed her dissatisfaction.

"What Gomoku champion?" Klein asked, puzzled.

“I recently organized a Gomoku (Five in a Row) tournament right here in the lab,” Danzhu said.

"How come I didn't know?"

"The only contestants are me and Cangxuan."

"..."

"Let's settle this with a game of Gomoku next time," Danzhu said, pointing at Chen Luo.

"Okay, I can give you four coins."

"???"

......

"Are you asking me what my main research area will be in the lab next? This is probably Dr. Möbius's assistant." Chen Luo said after hearing Cang Xuan's question.

“We are all Dr. Möbius’s assistants,” Cang Xuan said, pointing to himself, Danzhu, and Klein.

"If I had to pinpoint a direction... Miss Sakura, when did you have the fusion surgery?" Chen Luo asked.

"Huh? Me? Two days ago, what happened?" Sakura, who had just finished her meal and was about to leave to continue her investigation, paused for a moment.

"Looks like I'm late. If I had come two days earlier, I might have been Dr. Mebius's assistant, performing the fusion surgery for you," Chen Luo said jokingly.

"Huh?" Ying didn't quite believe Chen Luo's words.

After all, fusion surgery is very important, and even if you are assisting as an assistant, you need someone with some assistant experience.

"Lo, your assistant's direction is to assist Dr. Mebius in the fusion surgery? I don't believe it." Danzhu expressed his disbelief.

In fact, the fusion surgery is only in its rudimentary stage, with a shockingly low success rate.

Fusion Warriors can be described as one in a million.

Therefore, after the eleventh and twelfth Herrschers, humanity could no longer afford to use human lives to predict the success rate of Fusion Warriors.

Because there are hardly any people left.

Although it seems like so much time has passed since the first Fusion Warrior appeared, and there have been four Fusion Warriors, the number of deaths is hundreds of times that of successful cases.

That's why Mebius rarely came to Chen Luo's bar recently, because he was busy with the fusion surgery.

"Don't believe me? That's the right thing to do. I'm like a brick; I'll go wherever I'm needed. I don't even know what I'm supposed to be doing in the lab to help Möbius." Chen Luo shrugged.

"In fact, Mebius might be more interested in studying me," Chen Luo thought to himself.

"Beep beep beep!" Klein's communicator suddenly emitted an urgent sound.

"Hmm? Dr. Mebius? Another job?" Klein sighed after taking a sip of her milk tea, looking at the sender.

"Wow, Dr. Mebius is going too far! He even made Senior Sister Klein work overtime during dinner!" Danzhu said angrily.

“Uh…it seems they weren’t looking for me, they were looking for you.” Klein looked at Chen Luo.

"what?"

“Because your communicator is not activated, the Doctor cannot contact you, so he can only contact you through me,” Klein explained.

"So, is there something you need?"

"Yes, Dr. Möbius wants you to go back to the lab as soon as you finish your meal. A new fusion surgery is about to be performed, and he needs you to come over," Klein said.

"Oh, I see." Chen Luo nodded calmly and quickened his eating pace.

"Luo, are you really in charge of assisting with the fusion surgery?" Danzhu looked at Chen Luo in surprise.

"It's just assisting from the sidelines, there's not much technical skill involved." After finishing the rest of his lunch at lightning speed, Chen Luo stood up with his tray.

"I'm leaving now, you guys enjoy your meal." After saying goodbye, Chen Luo walked towards the dish return area.

Klein, sitting in her seat, glanced at Sakura, then at Cangxuan and Danzhu, but did not reveal the rest of the message.

Actually, Chen Luo was the main surgeon for this fusion operation...

......

"Are we really going to do it? It's definitely going to fail." Holding a scalpel, Chen Luo looked at the random passerby lying in front of him and said helplessly to Mebius.

“Of course we’ll do it. The surgical protocol has already been signed. As for whether the other person can pull through, we’ll have to do our best and leave the rest to fate,” Möbius said from the side.

"But his success rate was already extremely low in the face of fate, and yet he chose the same Honkai Beast gene as Kevin. Did he think he was Kevin?"

"This is like playing Russian roulette, but with six bullets, and you're betting on the bullets getting stuck." Chen Luo looked at the person lying on the operating table in front of him, feeling very troubled.

To put it nicely, the other side has an extremely low success rate; to put it bluntly, the other side is doomed.

"Hurry up and get started. This is what they insisted on; no one forced him. It'll also be a good opportunity for me to see your so-called expert-level fusion surgery. What if it succeeds?" Möbius said coldly.

"Well... alright then." Chen Luo sighed helplessly and then held out the scalpel.

The surgery was extremely tense and exciting. Mebius, who was acting as Chen Luo's assistant, was about to hand him some scissors when he discovered that Chen Luo was able to complete the surgery by himself under the control of the threads.

The entire super-transformation surgery proceeded exceptionally smoothly. Although it was Chen Luo's first time performing super-transformation surgery on someone else, he seemed to be very familiar with the procedure.

In Mebius's view, the other party's current level of expertise in super-transformation surgery is indeed slightly higher than his own.

Is this the master-level super-transformation surgery from [Mébius]? Or is it the future Mébius?

Efficient, fast, time-saving, and labor-saving...

As for the outcome of the surgery?

This is not important to Mebius.

Chapter 400 Mei: As long as that Luo isn't a Herrscher, there's no need to worry about it.

"Be careful in the future, and never come here to participate in these dangerous experiments with extremely high mortality rates. Luckily, you ran into me this time."

"And your sister actually signed up for such a dangerous surgery. No wonder you have to stay in bed for a few days." Standing at the door of the operating room, watching his sister—an employee who also works at the Moth of Fire—pull him away after he had just signed up for the experiment, Chen Luo sighed.

"I told you it would never succeed, but you still insisted on doing it. You can't reason with a damn fool," Chen Luo said, leaning against the operating room door.

As for why the other person is still alive despite a failed surgery?

"Using special abilities to transform someone into a puppet when they are on the verge of death, and then using the enhancements that come with giving them the puppet identity to save their life?"

Mebius ignored Chen Luo's complaints about that person and instead began to ponder the scene he had just witnessed.

As Chen Luo said, the experiment failed for two reasons: first, the other party was unlucky; second, the other party's physical condition was indeed too poor; and perhaps there were other reasons as well. But in any case, failure is failure, and there is never any possibility of the fusion surgery ending in survival.

Success means survival, failure means death.

with no exceptions.

That's true, at least for now.

Besides that one just now...

Three things surprised Mebius during the surgery.

Firstly, Chen Luo's fusion surgery skills did surpass mine, but not by a large margin. This might be because Chen Luo learned the technique from that future Möbius, who could see his own influence in the techniques.

Simply by watching Chen Luo perform fusion surgery, one can quickly catch up to Chen Luo's level.

Even if they catch up, the fusion surgery that was originally unsuccessful will still not succeed.

According to Chen Luo's evaluation criteria, Mebius's technical level is skilled, but he is also close to mastering it.

The second thing is Chen Luona's ability to seemingly foresee the future trend of something, and he can tell at a glance that the other party will definitely not succeed.

The third thing is Chen Luo's ability to transform into puppets.

"Alright, stop overthinking it. This is practically snatching a life from the jaws of death. If it weren't for the fact that he has a sister, and she's his only remaining sister, I wouldn't bother with it," Chen Luo said unhappily.

Although he obtained the first doll from the Fire Moth, if Chen Luo wanted to find more dolls, wouldn't it be better to transform some stronger ones?

The stronger one is, the greater the amplification and enhancement after transforming into a puppet.

"I remember when you turned him into a puppet, you seemed to say something like you were letting him off easy. What did you mean?" Mebius looked up at Chen Luo.

"Well, although I can control the puppets that I've transformed, as long as I don't reveal my identity, don't go looking for them, or manipulate them, they're no different from normal people. They won't even be aware that they've become puppets. Their souls will still be their own."

“But the benefits of becoming my puppet are quite high. First, he underwent an enhancement when he was transformed into a puppet. Although this enhancement did not make him a fusion warrior, it was enough to make his physical qualities far exceed those of ordinary people. Secondly, if he accidentally dies, I can revive him at a certain cost. So, it’s a good deal for him,” Chen Luo said.

The doll was revived at a cost. Although the description mentioned Primogems, it wasn't always necessary to use them.

Using Chen Luo's internal magical energy or something similar would work, but in short, Chen Luo would have to pay a price.

If there is no more magic Honkai energy, it is also possible to consume one's own physical flesh, memories, etc.

Chen Luo can use all of his talents and abilities independently without consuming any raw stones.

Otherwise, wouldn't the ability become a mere appendage of the raw gem?

However, using raw stones is undoubtedly simpler, faster, and more efficient for cleaning; after all, using raw stones comes at a price.

"Oh, can you resurrect infinitely?" Mebius's eyes lit up.

"Theoretically speaking, it's possible to resurrect indefinitely, as long as his soul isn't damaged. Even if the soul is damaged, he can still be resurrected, but it consumes a lot of energy. In short, as long as I don't die, my puppets can generally be resurrected," Chen Luo said.

Otherwise, why would this ability be considered an SS-level talent?

Yukari Yakumo's realm ability is only SS level.
