Their commission was suspicious.

This method of achieving immortality is truly astonishing.

This is exactly the method that the higher-ups of the Fire Moths want; they don't need to have great power, but at least they need to have the ability to live forever.

Throughout history, no ruler has ever refrained from pursuing immortality.

"Alright, all three surgeries for today are finished. The rest is up to you, Snake. When you implant the doll marks into them later, remember to help measure the accuracy of the doll marks," Chen Luo said.

Currently, only Chen Luo and Mebius are capable of performing the fusion surgery. Dr. Mei should also be able to, but he doesn't have the time.

The other party's current focus should be on the Stigmata Project.

"Understood." Möbius nodded.

However, Mebius's current expression still proves that he is still immersed in the techniques Chen Luo used during the fusion surgery.

Mebius is now slowly absorbing Chen Luo's mastery of fusion surgery techniques to improve his own skills.

Although Chen Luo would usually give Mebius some knowledge about pre-civilizations, he never dared to give anything too outrageous because the stronger a civilization's development, the stronger its collapse would be. He also strongly urged Mebius not to leak this knowledge.

Therefore, Möbius remained passionate about his research, to the point that even Chen Luo was somewhat afraid.

Chen Luo became even more frightened when he felt that Möbius was planning to test his skills on him.

"Um, Kevin, what are you doing here?" After Chen Luo pushed Volunteer No. 3, who had just undergone surgery and failed, out of the operating room, he was surprised to see Kevin outside the operating room.

Next, the operating room will be entirely given to Möbius. Although Dr. Möbius could refuse such frequent surgical procedures, after watching Chen Luo's fusion surgery demonstration, he couldn't wait to ask Moth Chaser to send new volunteers as soon as possible.

Mebius said he took a white mouse in one bite, and that wasn't just a random nickname.

Chen Luo didn't care about this, since there was a doll mark anyway.

Therefore, after Chen Luo pushes the other person out alone this time, he will not return to the operating room.

"Did the surgery fail again?" Kevin asked coldly, looking at volunteer number 3, who was sitting in a wheelchair, looking pale and seemingly still under the effects of anesthesia.

Don't misunderstand, Kevin wasn't wearing a cold face because Chen Luo's surgery failed, but because he's always had a cold face.

Kevin couldn't sense a strong Honkai energy aura from the opponent, which meant that the opponent must have failed.

"Fusion surgery is not that simple. Kevin, you should know the pain you endure during fusion surgery. It is completely above the limit of anesthesia. People who are not determined, not physically strong, and not lucky simply cannot succeed. This fusion surgery is practically a life-threatening operation. So failure is very normal."

Although Volunteer #3 has indeed become a fusion warrior, the first fusion surgery did fail.

"Luo, this is all we can do now," Kevin said gravely after glancing at Chen Luo.

After years of fighting, Kevin has now become a young and powerful qualified warrior, meaning that he is actually older than Chen Luo.

Kevin now looks at Chen Luo like he's a child, which makes Chen Luo feel a little awkward.

Although I am indeed just a child.

"Don't tell me these things, I understand them all. After all, I'm someone who has truly faced the Honkai directly," Chen Luo said.

“Indeed, the Sixth Herrscher…” Upon hearing Chen Luo’s words, Kevin seemed to fall into some kind of reminiscence.

"..."

Um, you might have misunderstood. When I said "facing the Honkai," I meant facing the Honkai consciousness.

Never mind.

“We have paid too much and lost too much in the fight against the Honkai. Although your ability has indeed greatly guaranteed the lives of volunteers after failed surgeries, it has not been done enough,” Kevin said, looking at the third volunteer who had failed in his surgery.

"Given the current state of the battle, the Herrschers that emerge in the future may become increasingly powerful, so the plan to fuse warriors cannot be halted. It may even extend beyond the Firemoth warriors and involve soliciting volunteers from outside."

"Currently, there are very few people in the entire Moth Chaser organization who can perform fusion surgery, but that may not be the case in the future. The number of fusion surgeries per day may surge dramatically, and the three life-saving quotas per day will not be enough to meet everyone's needs."

Kevin has a fairly good understanding of the Fire-Chasing Moths, or rather, of their upper echelons.

With the collapse drawing ever closer, the enemy will absolutely not abandon the Fusion Warriors plan because of the high mortality rate. They may temporarily shelve the plan due to public opinion or for their own potential political gains, but the plan will ultimately continue.

Whether in the open or in the shadows.

"Moths that chase fire? Volunteers? The upper echelons of the Moths that chase fire..." Upon hearing Kevin's words, a sudden flash of inspiration struck Chen Luo.

Well, if something called a coronavirus were to appear in the world in the future, then each country would naturally develop a corresponding vaccine.

Once a vaccine is available, it will naturally be administered to people across the country.

So here's the problem: what if we mix the doll's mark into the vaccine, and use the excuse of maximizing the Honkai disease adaptability of everyone in the world to give the vaccine to people all over the world for free?

How many of those suffering from the collapse would believe that?

If the other party resists, is it permissible to administer the injection by force?

If the doll mark continues to spread along with these vaccines, is it possible for the entire world's population to be marked with the doll mark?

The doll's mark doesn't necessarily have to be displayed in the form of raw stone; that's just Chen Luo's perverse sense of humor, like condensing the puppeteer's threads into crystal.

The doll's mark can turn into a raw stone, and naturally it can also become a kind of liquid.

However, if one really wants to force everyone to be injected with this vaccine that contains doll marks, firstly, one must have considerable power to have sufficient credibility, and secondly, this vaccine must actually have a certain effect.

However, the effect cannot be too obvious, because if the effect is too obvious, and everyone in the entire First Civilization Era gains enough Honkai resistance, what if a Herrscher specifically designed to counter Honkai appears, given the characteristic that Honkai will specifically grant Herrscher powers?

Moreover, this technology itself requires extremely high levels of expertise, something that previous civilizations could not possibly possess.

Therefore... Chen Luo's gaze involuntarily fell upon the Imaginary Number Mark on the back of his left hand.

The fact that the pre-civilization did not have it does not mean that the countless knowledge within the Imaginary Stigmata was not there.

"Thanks for the reminder. I'll leave him to you. I'm heading back to the lab now." Chen Luo patted Kevin on the shoulder and ran off into the distance.

"..." Kevin was somewhat confused as he watched Chen Luo pat his shoulder and then shake his hand as if he were cold.

What did I remind myself of?

Chapter 468 Alicia and V2V

"From a purely rational perspective, Honkai is a selection mechanism on the Imaginary Tree. So, how to resist Honkai should also be considered knowledge within the Imaginary Tree. Let me look carefully... Ah, I found it." As soon as Chen Luo finished speaking and entered the Stigmata space of the Imaginary Tree, a book slowly and actively floated to Chen Luo's front.

How to Increase Honkai Impact Resistance by Just a Little Bit

"What a simple and easy-to-understand title!" Chen Luo suddenly felt that this imaginary space was much more useful than the Void Treasury.

The key is that the knowledge in the vast universe is presented in individual books. To truly understand it, one sometimes needs to read several books that are not closely related to each other in order to improve upon a basic level.

However, the Imaginary Stigmata and Quantum Stigmata are different. There are no fixed books in the Imaginary Stigmata and Quantum Stigmata. The books are combined according to your needs.

It's like the difference between a library and the human brain.

You have to search for books in the library one by one, but if you have a brain that has learned all the knowledge, wouldn't the thing you want to look for appear in your mind in an instant?

Although addition and multiplication are both fundamental algorithms, they are located in different areas of the library.

But it's much easier to think about it in your mind.

"Hmm, I see. I understand now." After carefully reading the book, which practically had its contents written all over its face, Chen Luo roughly understood how to make a special vaccine that could slightly increase resistance to Honkai disease.

And most importantly, the upper limit of this technology is only to increase resistance slightly.

Chen Luo doesn't need to worry that anyone will use this thing to research a stronger way to resist Honkai disease, and at the same time, use it to research how to increase Honkai energy adaptability.

The increased Honkai resistance falls somewhere in between—it's something that can be widely adopted, but the effect isn't exceptionally outstanding, and there's not much benefit to it.

The best way to promote vaccines without causing trouble for the public is to ensure that there is no profit to be made.

Because once something becomes profitable, no matter how good the other party's original intention is, there will always be some people who can turn something that heals and saves lives into a business.

Even though there's no profit to be made, which might make those promoting it less interested, isn't it enough as long as the order comes from above?

"Perhaps I really should find a few more scapegoats among the higher-ups at Flame Chaser, or go directly to the United Nations and find a few powerful but not exactly ethical scapegoats..."

After having a vaccine, Chen Luo began to think.

Since arriving in the pre-civilization era, Chen Luo has never actively expanded his puppet's sphere of influence, but now, in order to spread the puppet's mark as far as possible, Chen Luo has this idea.

If Chen Luo only wanted to expand his power, he didn't need to care about ordinary people. Since they wouldn't provide much enhancement to him after becoming puppets, he could focus on the fusion warriors.

But Chen Luo always felt that he should do something in the previous civilization.

Watching a civilization rush headlong into an unstoppable abyss without any attempt to stop it was already incredibly frustrating for Chen Luo, a participant in that civilization.

If Chen Luo didn't do something, he would feel like he had come all this way for nothing.

Of course, doing so wouldn't be entirely without benefits for Chen Luo.

What was the puppeteer's initial introduction? It was about treating the entire world as a puppet to be manipulated at will.

Chen Luo cannot control the entire world, but controlling an Earth is a very rare experience for him.

Moreover, with so many people in the world, there are bound to be a few ordinary people who possess special abilities like Pado.

Before joining the Fire Moth, Pado was an unknown figure, and even after joining, none of the Fire Moth's higher-ups remembered her.

After the S-rank Herrscher of Domination's ability was transformed into a Domination Authority, there was no longer an upper limit to the number of puppets that could be controlled, and it was quite different from the initial Herrscher of Domination Authority.

For example, the more people one controls, the greater the benefits one receives.

Chen Luo could clearly feel that as the number of puppets increased, the strength of the group network was also constantly increasing.

The increase in intensity is very slight, but what if it were a planetary inhabitant?

In other words, what if it were a fusion warrior from a single planet?

"I want to transform this imperfect world into the one I envision!"

The deeper Chen Luo became involved with the collapsing world, the stronger this thought became.

It turns out that not only was Chen Luo trying to increase the favorability of other people in the Honkai Impact world, but the Honkai Impact world itself was also trying to increase Chen Luo's favorability.

As Chen Luo gets to know more and more people in the Honkai world, including Shi Bao, Fu Hua, Mebius, Kiana, Theresa, Himeko, Mei, Bronya, Cang Xuan, Dan Zhu, Alicia...

The reason why a person feels a sense of belonging to the world, the country, and the city is because they have more and more ties with the people they know in this place.

The more ties you have, the harder it is to let go.

However, Chen Luo still has a clear understanding of himself. He is not a savior, nor does he have any idea of ​​saving the world or risking his life for it. The world does not hold that much weight in Chen Luo's heart.

But Chen Luo still wanted to do his part for the world, however small.

"Clap clap clap!" A burst of applause immediately brought Chen Luo back to reality from his somewhat excited state of mind.

Chen Luo turned his head and saw Cang Xuan and Dan Zhu clapping beside him.

Senior Sister Klein was nodding drowsily.

"...When did you three arrive?" Chen Luo asked after a moment of silence.

“Alo, don’t you know you’ve been standing there in a daze for a long time?” Danzhu said.

"So... what did you all hear and see?" Chen Luo asked somewhat nervously.

"I want to transform this imperfect world into the one I envision!" Danzhu said earnestly.

"Hahahaha, I can't take it anymore, I never expected my junior brother to have such a chuunibyou side." But after saying this seriously, Danzhu instantly broke down and burst into laughter.

"..." Chen Luo immediately covered his forehead.

Damn it, my attention was completely focused on the Imaginary Stigmata, and I was thinking about quite a lot of things, so I temporarily ignored everything around me.

The key point is that Cangxuan, Danzhu, and Klein had no ill intentions towards Chen Luo, and they were also a little far away from Chen Luo, so Chen Luo's instincts did not detect any danger.

"Junior brother, I think your ideal is really great—to turn this imperfect world into the way you expect it to be. We believe you can definitely do it." Cang Xuan was different from Dan Zhu; at least Cang Xuan was encouraging Chen Luo in a more serious manner.

"Hahahaha..." Danzhu laughed as she bent over and held Cangxuan's shoulder.

"Ideals are lofty, but reality is harsh. Even so, without people like you, junior brother, to change the world, it will remain unchanged..."

"Hahahaha..." Danzhu continued to laugh.

"...The world may not change because of one person, but it will change because of a group of people like you, junior brother. Although we may not be able to do that, and we may fail under the increasingly powerful Honkai, as long as we have tried our best, we will have no regrets."

"Besides, the outcome is still uncertain, and it's not certain who will win or lose."

"Hahahaha..." Danzhu was still laughing.

"...Danzhu! You've been laughing the whole time, you haven't stopped at all!" Chen Luo said to Danzhu, somewhat embarrassed and angry.

Although Cangxuan was trying to suppress his laughter and encourage Chen Luo to make him feel less awkward, Danzhu kept laughing.

Danzhu's laughter kept Chen Luo from concentrating on listening to Cangxuan speak.

"Hahaha... I'm sorry, but it really... really was interesting." Danzhu said with a little bit of embarrassment.
