Their commission was suspicious.

Moreover, from another perspective, if Chen Luo develops this ability well, wouldn't he become a fusion warrior killer?

Although Chen Luo's current strength may not be up to that level, using his blood to make something like a fusion warrior inhibitor could cause significant problems.

"Don't worry about that. Although my direct combat strength may not be very strong, I'm very fast at running away. In fact, the more seriously injured I am, the faster I can run. This has been proven by experiments," Chen Luo said.

Full health, playing the erhu; low health, roaming the entire map.

The effect is that once Chen Luo's health drops below 50%, the lower his health, the higher his evasion ability.

"That's true, but as a friend, I still suggest you don't go out."

"But in that case, we might not be able to find a way to make our abilities even slightly stronger."

"...Then I suggest you find a bodyguard," Dr. Mei suggested, realizing that things seemed to have reached a dead end.

Just like Kevin was Mei's bodyguard, if Chen Luo really wanted to go out, he would have better find a bodyguard.

Mei has Kevin's protection, and Mebius himself is a Fusion Warrior, but Mei has never seen anyone like Chen Luo who is neither a Fusion Warrior nor a wanderer around the world.

"How am I supposed to find them? I'm just an ordinary assistant in the lab with a formal position. How could I possibly have the authority to mobilize guards?" Chen Luo said, sounding quite innocent.

“But you are not now,” Mebius said.

“If you need, I can make time to go out with you to gather materials,” Kevin, who was sitting a little away from Mei, suddenly said.

"Hmm?" Kevin was still a little surprised to hear about the plum.

Why are these two suddenly so close?

"No, you're too cold. Besides, you should protect Dr. Mei." Chen Luo shook his head.

"..."

From a purely rational perspective, Chen Luo's refusal was indeed reasonable, but the fact that he refused so quickly was truly surprising to Kevin...

"I can apply to the higher-ups to get you a bodyguard, um..."

After Dr. Mei finished speaking, she began to think about the candidates.

If we're talking about bodyguards, the first person Mei thinks of is Sakura.

However, Sakura's presence would be too obvious, and the other party is not good at being a bodyguard; they are more suited to assassination than guarding.

Moreover, judging from Chen Luo's tone, he would probably stay outside for a long time, which would leave Ying with no other time to do anything else.

However, Sakura's strength is indeed formidable, and her combat power is certainly guaranteed after becoming a fusion warrior.

"How about this, until the higher-ups approve the application, Ying will protect you for now?" Mei said after hesitating for a moment.

If it's just a matter of having Sakura fill in for a few days temporarily, it should be fine.

"I don't care," Chen Luo said.

"And you, do you agree with this move?" May looked at Möbius.

“The best option would actually be for me to accompany Alo outside to collect materials, gather samples, and look for ways to enhance him. But I don’t have that much time… I personally acknowledge his ability to escape, but if you insist on assigning him a guard, that’s fine too.”

Mebius never worried about Chen Luo's safety at all.

At least in this world, there's no problem as long as Chen Luo doesn't provoke the Herrscher of the End from afar.

Worried about Chen Luo? You should be more worried about the people who targeted Chen Luo.

"Hopefully, those higher-ups won't send their own people this time, otherwise we might still need to find our own guards." Dr. May didn't hold back in expressing his concerns about those higher-ups to Chen Luo and Mebius.

Mei and Möbius have a good relationship, and Möbius and Chen Luo also have a good relationship, so it's understandable that they would think this way simply out of concern.

"The Moth Chaser sounds like it's in a lot of chaos. Can it really withstand the Honkai?" Chen Luo, who had only been in the Moth Chaser for a few days, asked.

"Many of the high-ranking members of the Moth Chaser are cunning like ordinary politicians. Although their abilities cannot be denied, they are ultimately products of power struggles. Their hearts are not in resisting the collapse at all."

"They simply don't understand how cruel Honkai is to ordinary people. As long as things don't affect them, they remain indifferent."

"Even if some people recognize the cruelty of the Honkai, they still cannot change their power-hungry nature when resisting the Honkai."

Or rather, unless faced with a major global catastrophe, humanity can never unite.

Moreover, even when resisting alien invasion, the desire for internal strife will not cease, but will only diminish to a limited extent.

When it comes to deciding who to send to fight the aliens and who to be in charge of logistics in the rear, it can be a real battleground.

After all, if a country suffers a great loss, it will be at a disadvantage in subsequent global competition after it has withstood this disaster.

The struggle in the shadows never ends.

Expecting these high-level executives to make any shrewd and correct decisions without any personal bias is really asking too much of them.

Chapter 425 Sakura's Invitation to the Amusement Park

“There are three slots each day. One slot is for the higher-ups, one slot is for ordinary volunteers, and the third slot is reserved for Mei… If all goes well, a successful fusion surgery takes less than an hour, maybe even half an hour. And if the surgery fails, it's quick, only a dozen minutes. That means you only need to dedicate less than two hours a day.” After Mei and Kevin left, Chen Luo estimated his time in this world.

Although staying in the previous civilization gave Chen Luo the feeling of being a highly educated intellectual, he couldn't stay there forever.

In fact, it's already quite good that Chen Luo was able to spare two hours.

However, Chen Luo doesn't have tasks every day; like today, Chen Luo doesn't have any tasks.

When there are no missions, Chen Luo is quite free, which is a good opportunity to run around this near-apocalyptic place and complete some quests.

Although others later discovered that Chen Luo's time in the previous civilization seemed to be getting shorter and shorter, there was nothing they could do if they couldn't find Chen Luo. Besides, even if they suspected Chen Luo, could they really arrest him?

Putting aside whether they can catch Chen Luo, even if they do, what can they do?

If Chen Luo is unwilling to perform surgery on them, can they force him?

Even if they really dare to force...

Therefore, sometimes having force means you can do whatever you want.

"Oh, I remember now, I think I was supposed to cleanse Xiao's karma today." Chen Luo suddenly remembered.

The agreed time is noon, which means there are still two hours, so there shouldn't be any problem.

Chen Luo suddenly felt a little envious of his previous days when he was overly busy. Because there were many world dungeons in the early stages, and many characters in them, and these were all NPCs who had not done world quests, there were many quests to accept.

But now that all the quests on each NPC are almost finished, it means we're about to enter a lull period.

After all, there is a limit to the number of tasks each person can have.

Chen Luo carefully reviewed the tasks he had accepted but had not yet completed.

Then they discovered that there were indeed tasks that could be completed, such as taking their cousin to challenge the three S-level talents in Xinghai City.

"I'll practice my puppeteer skills for a while, then go clear Xiao's karma around noon. In the afternoon, I'll perform surgery, then go back to the main world to find Liu Wenxuan or have a fight. In the evening, I'll take the Book of Azure Profound to see Fu Hua... Perfect!"

Call me the Time Management Master!

"By the way, Mebius, how about we discuss my treatment?" Chen Luo suddenly spoke up, addressing Mebius, who was reading a book.

"Hmm? What kind of treatment?" Möbius frowned.

“It’s about my treatment. Think about it. Originally, I was just an assistant, so my salary was paid like an assistant. But now I’m a one-in-a-million genius in fusion surgery. Shouldn’t you give me a raise? And shouldn’t you also change my other benefits?” Chen Luo said.

"...Are you short of money?" Mebius glanced at Chen Luo.

"Money is not the problem; the problem lies in things like clocking in."

Chen Luo still has the gold he obtained from Changkong City in his backpack, so he doesn't care much about money.

Moreover, this is a Lawbringer of Modern Civilization's Invasion; why would he be afraid of not having money in modern times?

“Just like Mei and I just said, I’ll only do two... three surgeries a day, and I can use the rest of the time as I please. Plus, I won’t work overtime on Saturdays and Sundays,” Chen Luo said.

"If possible, I would also prefer not to have to clock in."

"...Why are you bothered by such strange questions? Anyway, you don't care about money, so do whatever you want. You can have as many surgeries as you want in a day, but you still have to clock in and out, otherwise you won't get paid."

"...Since I can use the remaining time as I please, why do I still need to clock in?" Chen Luo looked at Mebius with some disbelief.

Is there something wrong with your lab?

But Mebius ignored Chen Luo and continued reading the book he had obtained from Chen Luo.

This book doesn't contain knowledge from the Sea of ​​Quanta or the Tree of Imaginary Numbers, but rather from papers published later in the vast archives of the void.

These things are indeed a great gain for Möbius now, and much better than the obscure and difficult knowledge of the Tree of Imaginary Numbers and the Sea of ​​Quanta.

However, at Chen Luo's insistence, if Möbius intends to publish the paper, he must also list Chen Luo as a second author.

"Luo, someone's here to see you. It's someone with pink ears on their head. I think their name is Sakura." A knock sounded on the door, followed by Cang Xuan's voice.

"Understood." Chen Luo nodded, waved to Möbius, and then walked out.

......

"We meet again. Until the higher-ups of the Firemoth decide on the specific person to guard you, I will be in charge of guarding you for a period of time. Of course, this only applies to guarding people outside of the Firemoth. If you need to leave the Firemoth, please notify me in advance via the communicator." Sakura, who hadn't seen Chen Luo for a while, sat opposite him and began to talk about work.

"Understood, thank you for your help."

"It's no trouble at all, just work. And please don't keep staring at my ears, thank you," Sakura said after a pause.

"emmm......"

Fine, you wait, I'll go back to my paradise and give your ears a good rub.

I can't stroke your ears now, but that doesn't mean I can't stroke your ears in the future.

As for not giving rua?

Sakura, you don't want your sister to be unable to go to school, do you?

"When do you usually go out?" Sakura asked.

"Well... I'm not entirely sure. Okay, just ask me whatever you want. I'm a pretty reasonable person, and for some reason, I felt like we were destined to be together from the first moment I met you, so feel free to say whatever you want." Chen Luo could tell at a glance that Ying seemed to have something on her mind.

Well, Chen Luo immediately realized that the other party seemed to have a request for his services.

"It's like this, tomorrow is Saturday. I originally took a day off, but due to special circumstances, I'll be in charge of your safety starting today. However, I have some urgent matters to attend to..." Sakura said after hesitating for a moment.

[Ding! You have a new request!]

[Accompanying Sister to the Amusement Park]: Please don't disturb Sakura's precious time at the amusement park, which she finally agreed to take Rei to. Thank you. Let Sakura be able to go to the amusement park with her sister as promised tomorrow.

Reward: 200 Primogems + Sakura's Affection Level 10

Difficulty: Two stars

"Hey, I thought it was something serious. Since you have something urgent to do tomorrow, then go ahead. I can guarantee that I won't leave the Firemoth tomorrow, so naturally I don't need you to protect me," Chen Luo said, waving his hand.

Although Chen Luo knew this was a good opportunity to meet Ling, he didn't shamelessly offer to accompany her to handle that urgent matter the next day.

If Chen Luo remembers correctly, Ying is quite protective of her younger sister's information.

When it comes to your sister, who is your Achilles' heel, you can never protect her too well.

Especially for someone like Chen Luo, whom she doesn't know well, if Chen Luo offered to go with her, the other person might just give up on tomorrow's mission.

Sakura's mission is to ensure Chen Luo's safety after he leaves the Fire Moth. This means that as long as Chen Luo doesn't leave the Fire Moth, Sakura doesn't need to be responsible for guarding him. If something happens to him while he's in the Fire Moth, then Chen Luo's safety is truly in jeopardy.

Could it be that it can provide close-range protection?

"Thank you for understanding." Sakura nodded slightly to Chen Luo.

However, Chen Luo noticed that Ying was deliberately not making the nodding gesture too exaggerated.

The long ears on Sakura's head represent that if the other person's head moves too much, the ears will wiggle too frequently.

"Then let's discuss this. During your free time after surgery, what time of day do you usually leave the Firemoth?" Sakura asked.

This is also one of the matters that needs to be inquired about, because Sakura's responsibilities are not limited to protecting Chen Luo's safety.

Sakura has other things to do.

Since it was uncertain how long Chen Luo would need her to act as his temporary bodyguard, Ying needed to ask him beforehand.

"That's really uncertain. Could you give me your communicator? I'll contact you if I go out. Generally speaking, I'd like to go outside the Moth of Flames unless I need surgery."

After all, since arriving in this world, Chen Luo has only patrolled within the range of the Fire Moth. Chen Luo also wants to go outside and see the scenery of the previous civilization.

Waaaaah...

"Is that so? No problem." Sakura nodded.

Although the other party goes out quite frequently, it's not a problem if I'm just guarding them for these few days.
