Their commission was suspicious.

"What did you say?"

"It sounds weird, but I did receive your package. Boss, who else do you know in Academy City besides me? This thing was personally delivered to my room by the dormitory supervisor this afternoon. It seems like the supervisor values ​​it quite a bit. Boss, do you have any other underlings in Academy City besides me?" Misaka Mikoto asked with some doubt.

“I only have you as my brother, but I’m not so sure about the other relationships. At least I know Accelerator, don’t I?” Chen Luo said.

"So this was sent by Accelerator?" Misaka Mikoto looked at the box in her hand with a look of disgust.

"It shouldn't be. After all, if Accelerator wanted to give me something, he could have just brought it himself. But didn't you even ask your dorm supervisor what it was? Why are you asking me now? How would I know who it is?" Chen Luo retorted.

"Uh, I was too scared at the time, and I didn't have time to ask. By the time I wanted to ask, the dorm supervisor had already gone back to her room, and I didn't have the courage to go to her room to ask her..." Misaka Mikoto muttered softly.

"...You're a LV5, the third-ranked esper, codenamed Railgun."

"But she's the dormitory supervisor!" Misaka Mikoto said, still shaken.

It seems that Misaka Mikoto has suffered quite a bit under that dormitory supervisor's tutelage.

"Tsk tsk." Chen Luo was amazed by Misaka Mikoto's attitude towards the dormitory supervisor.

"Alright, bring it here. Have you opened this package?"

"No, it's your package after all, boss. It's not good to open other people's packages. I'm not a hater," Misaka Mikoto said as she walked over.

"Kuroko's reputation... Okay, let's get back to the delivery." Chen Luo originally wanted to say that Kuroko's reputation was being unfairly affected, but after thinking about it carefully, Shirai Kuroko didn't seem to have a good reputation.

The other person's perversion matched their voice.

After Chen Luo took the rectangular package from Misaka Mikoto and unpacked it, a black box appeared in front of him.

Chen Luo gently opened the box, and dozens of larger capsules appeared before him. These capsules were arranged neatly in the box.

"It really is this thing." Chen Luo picked up a capsule and examined it.

"what?"

“Hmm, not suitable for children,” Chen Luo said after a moment of thought.

"...Don't try to fool me." Misaka Mikoto rolled her eyes and ran towards the computer that several people were surrounding.

Misaka Mikoto has always had a great passion for playing video games.

Otherwise, they wouldn't use game coins as items to launch the railgun.

Thinking about this, Chen Luo wondered if he should use special steel to customize some nails or something similar for Misaka Mikoto.

In terms of sheer power, the metal used for the game coins, which isn't made of very good material, makes the railgun's power far too weak.

The greater the distance, the more energy is wasted.

"What is this?" the Herald of Knowledge asked curiously as he approached.

“Yes, the second batch of hovering loops,” Chen Luo said.

"The Void Recurve? Is that the device Aleister used to monitor the entire Academy City?" asked the Herrscher of Knowledge, who recognized the name.

“That’s right.” Chen Luo nodded.

"What do you need these things for? Or rather, why did he give them to you?"

"These hover loops are all hover loops that I corrupted once with the power of the Herrscher of Corruption. After I invaded them with a virus, the other party abandoned these hover loops because they couldn't be sure if I had made any modifications to them. So they simply gave them all to me. They gave me the first batch last time, and this is the second batch that I invaded the day before yesterday," Chen Luo said.

"But what use do you have for these things?"

“Useful, of course it’s useful. This thing might be able to be used to monitor Xinghe City.” Chen Luo tossed the capsule in his hand, which looked small but contained nearly a million hovering loops.

"After all, in the modern era when spiritual energy has just been revived, although the cultivation civilization is gradually recovering, the technological civilization has not made much progress."

"Besides, even if you can't use this thing, you can sell it. If you can't sell it, you can keep it as a collectible."

As a collector, Chen Luo said this.

The key is not to take advantage of freebies.

Mutual exchanges are the foundation for deepening cooperation.

Chapter 479 I gave you an advance on your salary, and you used it to support a mistress?

"Snake, do you know Twilight Street?" Chen Luo asked Mebius the next day.

"Twilight Street? I've heard of it." Möbius nodded casually.

“But I don’t know,” Möbius said just as Chen Luo was about to ask.

"Uh...you might as well have just said you didn't know anything from the start. You piqued my curiosity and then ignored me. What kind of scumbag woman is that?"

“…” Upon hearing Chen Luo’s words, Mebius’s hand slipped.

"Hey, Snake, can you please not be so careless when you're performing the fusion surgery? The person died, the person died again, this is the second time already." Chen Luo exclaimed as he looked at the poor volunteer whose fusion surgery had failed instantly.

"Who do you think caused my distraction?" Mebius scoffed.

"How would I know? But it can't be me, can it?" Chen Luo said as he began to revive that extremely pitiful and unlucky child.

"Snake, this is the third time already. You should have succeeded on the second try," Chen Luo reminded her after using a Honkai Crystal to revive her.

“Then you shouldn’t have interrupted me while I was performing the fusion surgery.” Möbius picked up the scalpel again.

"Why are you asking about Twilight Street?" Mebius asked.

“I’ve been thinking of making a trip to Twilight Street lately. It’s a place teeming with talent; three of the thirteen heroes have extremely deep connections there: Qianjie, Aponia, and Pado. So I plan to go there beforehand and spread some puppet imprints, hoping to attract even more talent,” Chen Luo said.

Limited by Chen Luo's own limitations, even if he wanted to bring everyone in the world to Earth, it would take time, and it wouldn't be a short time. During that time, people would continuously die.

These dead people can never be resurrected, because they do not have Chen Luo's puppet mark. People are born and die every moment in the world. The world's population is extremely large. Although the population has been reduced sharply due to the seven Great Collapses, human civilization has remained prosperous until the Ninth Herrscher swallowed up the entire Mu Continent.

The population of the previous civilization was so large that even Chen Luo felt somewhat intimidated. After all, it was extremely difficult for an ordinary person to save the entire Earth, even though Chen Luo was not an ordinary person.

Destruction is easier than salvation.

If it were up to Chen Luo to destroy the entire Earth, he could do it in less than half a month.

However, Chen Luo simply cannot move all the people on Earth to the Outer Earth in a short period of time, or at least leave them with puppet imprints.

Therefore, even with a cruel law of the jungle, the order in which the doll marks are distributed still needs to be determined.

Chen Luo knew very few places in the entire pre-civilization, including Twilight Street.

As for the rest, I really know nothing about them.

Throughout the entire history of pre-civilization, at least in Chen Luo's view, Twilight left a significant mark on pre-civilization.

“I don’t know Qianjie, but judging from the tone of my future self when I talked about her, I can roughly guess what their relationship is. I don’t know Aponia either, and has she ever been to a bar before?” Upon hearing these three unfamiliar names, Möbius asked with a frown.

Although there are no Yingjie like that now, Mebius at least knows what the 13 Yingjie are.

Although the memory entity Mebius always liked to play dirty tricks on Mebius, it was still willing to reveal this kind of basic information. However, the reason why the other party revealed this information was still a mystery.

“Qian Jie might arrive soon, and he should bring Aponia with him. Both of them... are very strong. It goes without saying that they will become Heroes in the future, especially the former. Even without the fusion surgery, he could kill a Herrscher single-handedly.” Chen Luo didn’t mind discussing these matters with Mebius.

Having spent so much time in the bar, Mebius at least knew that the previous civilization was doomed to perish, and judging from the other person's expression, he didn't seem to have any intention of saving the previous civilization.

Therefore, there are some things Chen Luo doesn't mind telling Mebius.

Möbius was always an extremely calm person, almost to the point of indifference. Apart from a few people who could gain his approval, everyone else was no different from lab rats in Möbius's eyes.

Möbius pursued the evolution of humanity as a whole, not the individual like Alicia.

Or rather, beings like Alicia are extremely absurd.

However, the other party's identity and behavior were extremely consistent.

"That Paddo is the little kitten who's been wandering around the bar these past few days, and she seems a bit afraid of me."

"That's right, that's Pado. She's also from Twilight Street. Of course, she doesn't have any special abilities. The reason she was able to get into the 13 Heroes' seats is not because she's strong, but because she's lucky."

Well, I was quite lucky...

That's incredibly lucky.

“I see. But if I remember correctly, I vaguely remember hearing something about how you used the salary I gave you for the Fire Moth to support her, right?” Möbius’s voice still sounded somewhat casual, but Chen Luo sensed something different.

"!!!"

What was supposed to be a casual remark, Chen Luo sensed as a feeling of, "I gave you two months' salary in advance, fed you well, and you're using that money to support your mistress?"

Chen Luo quickly shook his head, banishing the strange thought from his mind.

Who's this next to me? It's Mebius! Why would she care about such a small detail?

"From a purely rational perspective, what you're saying makes no problem, but it just sounds very different."

“I’m quite curious, why did you choose her as your employee? According to what you just said, she’s not very capable, she was just a bit lucky,” Möbius asked while performing the surgery.

"That wasn't just a little bit lucky, it was extremely lucky, lucky to the point of being almost supernatural. She always managed to avoid certain impending crises in all sorts of strange ways. And in the end, if she hadn't insisted on going to the moon to commit suicide, the other party wouldn't have died either," Chen Luo said.

Although Chen Luo respected Patona's determination to face the crisis with her companions in the end, if Chen Luo had been there, he would have knocked her unconscious with a blow.

They packed Eden, along with that civilization that wanted to die along with the previous one, into a sack and carried it away.

LOL, if they're in the mood to be buried with the previous civilization, they'd rather be my employees.

At least it can still contribute something in its remaining years.

"Oh? Strong luck?" Upon hearing this word, a hint of interest flashed in Möbius's eyes.

"Yes, that's right, incredible luck. You know how high the death rate is for fusion surgery without me, but even though the other person was very weak, they still survived this extremely terrifying surgery and became a fusion warrior."

"And that's not all. Their incredible luck always leads them to make the right choices in the right places. I really suspect that the reason they didn't become a Fusion Warrior before was because ordinary people could live peacefully in the outside world. Later, they became a Fusion Warrior by chance because ordinary people could no longer survive outside of the Firemoth. That's why their incredible luck led them to become a Fusion Warrior."

Chen Luo made this guess.

It's not that Chen Luo was overthinking things; it's just that Pado's luck was incredibly strong.

It's the kind of incredible luck that allows someone to perfectly avoid all crises in a Final Destination game.

Unless the other party deliberately courts death, they will definitely not die.

This is Padofelis.

Moths that chase fire, thirteen heroes, number 13 - Empty Dream.

However, the opponent's luck was extremely strong, but their strength was genuinely weak.

Even Gretchen was ranked 11th, while Patto was ranked last.

As for who the 12th person is? Of course, it's the lovely, honest Hua.

Hua was ranked 12th due to a combination of factors. The opponent was a very young soldier, and the decision to rank him 12th was made out of a desire to protect him.

And Gretchen... don't underestimate her. While she may not possess the ability to summon special beings in the real world like she does in the Paradise of the Past, her cognitive distortion ability is exceptionally terrifying.

It is said that after witnessing a thousand calamities, Gresh painted a picture that plunged a city into turmoil and ultimately led to its destruction.

Terrifying indeed, terrifying indeed.

"These three heroes from Twilight Street you mentioned sound quite interesting, but you might not know that Wilvi also had connections to Twilight Street. At least before she was captured by the Fire Moth, she worked as a wandering magician there. Whether she was ever a wanderer is unclear, but she was definitely a magician. If you really want to know anything about Twilight Street, you can ask her."

“Of course, I feel that if you were to ask Pado 5 years in the future, it might be clearer,” Möbius said.

"Asking Pado, the person involved, is pointless. I'm just going to take a stroll around Twilight Street anyway. As for how complicated the relationships are, that's not something I need to worry about," Chen Luo said.

That's what they say, but the main reason Chen Luo didn't ask was that Pado seemed to have been told something by Alicia, so she wasn't too willing to talk about these past experiences.

It wasn't that Alicia was deliberately causing trouble; in fact, even the letters Chen Luo received from Pado never mentioned any information about these trivial matters.

In fact, although many such letters could be written, the future Chen Luo would only offer some reminders to the present Chen Luo on major decisions.

It's as if it's saying, "You can get the big questions out of the box, but you can figure out the small ones yourself."

This made Chen Luo suspect that perhaps it wasn't Alicia who told Patob to say it, but rather his future self who told Patob to say more.

Sometimes, knowing too much isn't a good thing, because knowing too much can change a path that could lead to a perfect ending into one that leads to the worst.

Judging from the current situation, Chen Luo's choices in the future may be good enough in his own eyes.

Sometimes, a simple reminder can change a person's life.

For example... in the final round of a quiz competition, faced with a question that is essentially a choice between two options, should you trust the answer provided by a frail, white-haired old man?

And this answer will determine whether your life takes two different paths.

This is especially true given that the random rewards Chen Luo receives after completing a task are truly random.

"Speaking of which, you haven't said why you hired Padofelis yet," Möbius suddenly asked, noticing the atmosphere becoming somewhat strange.
