Their commission was suspicious.

"Huh? Are you going back to your dorm? We're going the same way, how about we go back together?" Alicia blinked.

Alicia had originally come to talk to Mebius after combat training because she had nothing else to do, but now Chen Luobi was more interesting to Alicia than Mebius, so she decisively changed her mind and moved on.

“…Okay.” Chen Luo nodded, looking at the obvious lie.

However, Chen Luo was not opposed to getting closer to Alicia first.

After Chen Luo and Alicia left without saying goodbye, a while later Mebius and Velvet walked out of the room containing the core of the Herrscher of Flame.

"Strange... why does it feel like the Honkai energy concentration in this Herrscher core storage room has subtly decreased a little?" Velvet, who came out carrying a small black box, asked Mebius with some confusion.

This situation has not occurred in at least the previous Herrscher core transfers. After all, according to Velvet's observation, the rate at which the Honkai energy of the Herrscher core is lost is constant, which means that you can calculate the storage time by testing the Honkai energy concentration in the storage room. However, this time the storage time is not proportional to the Honkai energy concentration.

Honkai energy has inexplicably decreased.

"I don't know." Mebius did not give Vervi a definite answer.

"Who went to the Herrscher's core storage room during that time?"

“The entire laboratory staff, since no one would refuse to take a look at something like this,” Möbius replied casually.

"So that includes that new guy, Luo, from your lab?" Velvi asked with interest.

"What are you planning to do? Here's a piece of advice: don't get curious about him." Upon hearing Chen Luo's name from Vervier, Möbius narrowed his eyes, something he hadn't done in a long time.

"Don't look at me with such a dangerous gaze. But the more you care about him, the more curious I become about your relationship and how important the other is to you..." After seeing Möbius's gaze, Velvi moved to the side.

“I warned you not to have any unnecessary curiosity about him,” Möbius reiterated.

"Oh, are you in a hurry? The more anxious you are, the more curious I become. Okay, okay, I'll listen to you, alright?" When she saw Mebius stop and look at her, Velvi immediately gave in.

However, while admitting defeat, Velvet also confirmed some things: even if Chen Luo had nothing to do with the decrease in Honkai energy concentration, his relationship with Mebius was very special, or rather, his very existence was quite special.

“Mébius, you know me. I’m always very receptive to advice, and I wouldn’t have any strange thoughts about your Lo. I’m just a mechanic, not some biologist.” Velvi received the message.

"Ha, listen to advice? If you really listened to advice, you wouldn't have joined the Fire Moth in the first place." Möbius sneered.

As for Chen Luo's safety?

Not to mention Vervies, even Möbius wanted to study Chen Luo. But could that be done?

Vervi is indeed a genius, and in some ways she is similar to Mebius, but... what makes Vervi capable of doing what Mebius couldn't?

Based on her personality?

"Alright, let's not talk about that anymore. Let's talk about the fusion surgery. I have a feeling that you've become more dangerous since you had the fusion surgery, and I mean in a physical and martial sense," Velvi casually mentioned.

“What? You’re interested in fusion surgery too? It’s not a mature technique, and the mortality rate is very high,” Mebius said.

Although Möbius and Vervie weren't exactly inseparable, Möbius still didn't want his fellow human to die in such a foolish way.

“Isn’t that your little assistant? He can save the other person’s life even if the fusion surgery fails… This is quite a story among the Fire Moths. Why don’t we just have him perform the surgery for me? At worst, we’ll have to wait in line for a while longer,” Velvi tentatively suggested.

"Hmm, so that's what you're thinking? Well... of course, if you want, I can have him schedule another fusion surgery tomorrow. After all, limits can be broken with a little effort. So, are you coming tomorrow?" For some reason, Mebius suddenly smiled and asked.

“Uh, no need, I’ll think about it some more.” Seeing Mebius’s expression, Velvi immediately refused.

Verviel doesn't understand what Möbius is playing, so naturally she won't join the game.

Let's take a look first, there's no rush...

Chapter 470 Close the door and release Alicia!

"Alice, you're quite popular among the Firemoths."

Along the way, Chen Luo noticed that almost every member of the Fire Moth he encountered, whether they were soldiers, researchers, or ordinary staff, would greet Alicia.

Alicia's popularity in Moth of Flame is indeed high, ridiculously high.

"There's no way around it, a cute girl's heart can do anything. How about you try becoming a cute girl, little Luo Luo? I think..."

"Not good at all!" Chen Luo refused outright.

I will never wear women's clothing. I will never wear women's clothing in my lifetime.

Unless... more money!

"Sigh, but I really want to see it." Alicia said with some anticipation.

Chen Luo usually appears to be rather thin and weak. The physique boost from the Infinite Serpent and the power boost from the semi-conceptual physiques rarely manifest in his muscles. The same applies to the enhancements he receives after completing missions. Therefore, Chen Luo will not become a muscular giant.

In fact, this kind of highly deceptive image is the kind of image that Chen Luo considers acceptable.

A support role should act like a support role.

Those who are relatively thin and still have a childlike appearance are good candidates for cross-dressing.

Although Alicia had never had this idea before, it came to her when she saw Chen Luo.

[Ding! You have a new request!]

"No." Chen Luo refused decisively.

Hilarious! Even though Chen Luo isn't someone who can't resist raw stones, he should at least give him more. Who are you trying to fool with 100 raw stones?

"Alright." Seeing that Chen Luo refused, Alicia didn't insist anymore.

Anyway, it was just a flash of inspiration, not some wish or anything.

"By the way, do you need me to teach you how to be more welcoming?"

"Hmm...not really necessary." Chen Luo shook his head.

Chen Luo had figured it out; coming here every day to perform a few fusion surgeries would surely bring him considerable profits.

Some were seeking survival, while others aspired to become fusion warriors.

Great, just like a bar, now there's a fixed income.

"Alright, I don't think you're interested in a single man's dorm, so I won't invite you in." Chen Luo waved to Alicia as he walked to his dorm room door without realizing it, then pushed open the door, went inside, and closed it behind him.

Chen Luo should go home.

Therefore, inviting others into one's room would undoubtedly delay one's return home.

Chen Luo would never do something like that.

"..." As the door slowly closed, Alicia still had a smile on her face.

Unlike others who said goodbye to their friends, Alicia stood quietly at Chen Luo's door, smiling as she looked at his room. She didn't leave.

[Ding! You have a new request!]

I feel like going in to take a look.

"..."

Looking at the commission of fifty raw stones that had just appeared, Chen Luo was conflicted.

I'll definitely accept this task, but whether I can complete it is another matter.

If he finishes it, his return home might be delayed, but if he doesn't, those 50 primal stones will just slip away. Chen Luo was unwilling to accept that.

"Ahem, I've been thinking, inviting a beautiful girl like you to my house would surely brighten my whole day. So please come in and have a seat." Chen Luo finally opened his door and said to Alicia, who was standing quietly in front of it with a smile.

“Okay,” Alicia readily agreed.

After the other party agreed, Chen Luo had no choice but to bring them in.

Chen Luo had figured it out; aside from the fact that he really couldn't refuse the 50 raw stones...

Alicia just stood at her door, it wasn't a big deal!

If the other party doesn't leave, Chen Luo doesn't dare to open the bar and go back.

What if I leave and the other party suddenly tries to break in?

So tell the other person to look at it quickly and leave as soon as they're done.

"So, Xiao Luoluo, you really are a gentle person. You couldn't bear to see a lonely girl standing in front of the door."

"..."

[Ding! Mission complete]

No, you've misunderstood. I only want the raw gem.

You can leave now.

Chen Luo really suspected that if he didn't open the door for the other party, the other party might stand in front of his door for half a day.

If he were to kick the other person out now, the other person would have to look at him with a puffy face for the next three days.

I can't hold on any longer, I can't hold on any longer.

"Hmm, a very... very tidy room." After entering Chen Luo's room, Alicia looked around for a while before finally choosing this description.

The reason for this predicament is that Chen Luo's room really only contained the things that the Fire Moth dormitory originally brought with it, and basically nothing else that he brought with him.

The things in the dormitory are the dormitory's things, and everyone can decorate their dormitory according to their own wishes.

Therefore, each person's dormitory may have a different style.

Chen Luo hadn't paid much attention to this matter since arriving in this world, so his room had absolutely no personal style; he even brought his water cup from Mebius's dormitory.

"Thank you for the compliment."

"This is not a compliment. You've been here for several days now, and you haven't even bothered to renovate your dorm room."

"Although Moth Chaser says this is a dormitory, as long as there are no casualties or other problems, the dormitory will not be taken back. It's like giving you a home directly. Moreover, if you have made outstanding contributions, even if you die due to special reasons, this dormitory will be specially preserved for you."

"Of course, I'm referring to the soldiers' dormitories. The researchers shouldn't be in any immediate danger. So, you should renovate your own rooms. Speaking of which, I have some pink wallpaper left over from my dorm; do you need it?"

Even Alicia didn't have any particular feeling about the frequent deaths among the Fire Moths. Because it was normal.

Alicia is saddened by the passing of everyone, but she doesn't show much grief when talking about it.

"Pink wallpaper... never mind. Sit down, I'll get you a glass of water. Or would you like a drink? Black tea or cola?"

"Orange juice, thank you," said Alicia, who sat on the sofa looking quite docile.

However, Alicia's constantly shifting eyes indicated that she was still observing the dormitory.

The dormitory where Chen Luo lives is the highest-level dormitory in the Candle Moth community. Logically speaking, Chen Luo shouldn't be able to live here; he should live in a lower-level dormitory, but the lower-level dormitory isn't bad either.

But why did Chen Luo choose the dormitory next to Möbius's dormitory?

Anyway, there were several dormitories next to Dr. Möbius's dormitory that were unoccupied, and the people there were brought by Möbius himself, so we just went along with it.

Chen Luo benefited from Mebius's influence this time.

"...Why did you follow me into the kitchen?" Chen Luo asked after taking a bottle of juice from the refrigerator and handing it to Alicia, who was following behind him.

“My intuition tells me that you, Xiao Luoluo, are the kind of person who can do all the housework, use all the furniture, and cook very well, so I came to the kitchen specifically to verify this,” Alicia said after examining the pots and pans in the kitchen, which showed signs of having been tampered with.

"My cooking skills are pretty good, so I rarely go to the cafeteria by myself except when I'm with Cang Xuan and Dan Zhu. I just make do at home. Anyway, I don't have to go to work, so I'm too lazy to go," Chen Luo said.

At least the fried egg in the breakfast that Chen Luo brought to Cang Xuan Dan Zhu was made here, because Chen Luo wanted to leave some traces of the dormitory.

Unfortunately, poor Danzhu was talking to Chen Luo the whole time, and Cang Xuan stole her fried egg, so she didn't get to eat either of the two eggs (fried egg and boiled egg).

"How have you been doing in the dorm these past few days? Have you gotten used to the environment of the Firemoth? If you need any help, just let me know, don't be shy." Alicia said while sitting back down in the living room and drinking her juice.

"Yeah, you're even more nagging than my mom. But thanks for your concern, I'm doing alright," Chen Luo said.

Chen Luo didn't know why Alicia seemed so interested in him even though it was their first meeting.

Is it because the other person has some special ability to see a glimpse of one's talent? Or is it because they are not a friend of humanity?

But it can't be because he's a Herrscher, right?

"It's a bit much to call a beautiful young girl so old. Hurry up and comfort me, or I'll get angry."

I was just trying to be kind and caring, and the other person actually said I was old. That's just awful.

"Oh, wait a moment." After hearing Alicia's request, Chen Luo stood up and walked towards the bedroom.

The fact that the other party didn't issue a request means they're not angry, but Chen Luo can indeed take this opportunity to complete a request.

It's not about putting a sack over someone's head. You put a sack over someone's head when they're walking down the street. What's the point of doing it at home?

Moreover, this is not a delegation.

However, when Chen Luo came out of the bedroom, he had nothing in his hands. Instead, he reached out to Alicia, asking to borrow her communicator.
