Their commission was suspicious.

But that is at least a possibility.

"Come to think of it, I don't think I've recognized all thirteen heroes yet. There are still three missing: Wilvie, Gretchen, and the lolicon," Chen Luo muttered.

From a purely rational perspective, if all the heroes Chen Luo currently knows offer him a 5% discount, then the other three should also offer the same.

As one of only two end-of-life Honkai Beast fusion users, Chen Luo was quite interested in Kosmo.

"Lolicon? Who's that?"

"Of course it's Kosmo, who else could it be but me?" Chen Luo rolled his eyes at the cat.

"Uh, um, boss... it's not really appropriate for us to talk behind people's backs like this, and besides, Amo isn't a lolicon."

"Really? I don't believe it."

If you're saying Kosmo isn't a lolicon, you need to provide evidence.

"..."

Although no sound came out, a strange aura came from behind Chen Luo. Chen Luo turned his head and saw a dark green-clad boy.

"Oh, it's Kosmo!" Chen Luo greeted the boy behind him warmly.

"Should I say it's been a long time, or is it our first time meeting?"

"...Long time no see." Kosmo said slowly after scrutinizing Chen Luo for a while.

"When did you arrive? Did you hear anything just now?"

"..." Kosmo did not answer, but the expressions on his face were extremely varied.

"Alright, no need to say anything more, I understand. Where's Gresh? Logically speaking, you should be taking care of her, right?" Chen Luo turned his head to look, but didn't see Gresh anywhere.

This is truly quite surprising.

“…She’s with Aponia. And Aponia asked me to come to the hall,” Kosmo said.

"Aponia is really a dangerous person," Chen Luo remarked.

The other person's ability to foresee the future was a great help to Chen Luo, especially in finding things.

"..." Kosmo fell silent, but the expression on his face became even more interesting.

"Can you explain this to me?" Chen Luo turned to look at Pado.

"Amo is probably trying to say that you, the boss, are not qualified to say this."

"Hmm? Why do you say that?" Chen Luo asked, somewhat puzzled.

“Because it was you who performed the fusion surgery on Aponia and Ammo, they should think you were even more terrifying,” Pado said.

"Really? I don't believe it."

"What don't you believe? Among all 13 Heroes, who hasn't been on your operating table, boss? Some have even been on it more than once. Of course, it's not just limited to fusion surgeries," Pado whispered.

“Speaking of fusion surgery, I just performed the fusion surgery on Desdovia today, and I’m currently in that timeline.” After saying this, Chen Luo secretly observed Kosmo’s expression.

Chen Luo brought this up not to satirize Kosmo's sad story, but simply to see Kosmo's reaction and to learn some information from it.

"..." Kosmo, on whom Chen Luo had placed high hopes, remained silent.

Chen Luo almost forgot that Kosmo had a rich inner world. Although those who knew him well could naturally tell what he wanted to say, Chen Luo was not that type of person yet.

"Kosmo, don't just stay silent," Chen Luo said with a sigh.

"...Now is not the time," Kosmo shook his head and said.

"Emmm." Looking at Kosmo's outstretched hand, Chen Luo hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.

Kosmo.

5.0 off

Unsurprisingly, it was a 5.0% discount, a discount that Chen Luo vehemently disliked.

Because after reaching this discount, it means that when Chen Luo encounters favorability tasks, he can only watch helplessly as the favorability points overflow.

However, Chen Luo still doesn't know how to form a special relationship with someone to remove this restriction.

"Alright, I should go back now. I'm a little worried about leaving Gretsch with Aponia." Kosmos was unusually silent before speaking, and he didn't remain silent after speaking either.

"Hmm, kitties, what exactly do you know?" After Kosmo left, Chen Luo asked Pado curiously.

"What? What?" The cat tilted its head.

"Why is Kosmo so calm?"

"How would I know? The only thing I know is that before the final battle, you seemed to have said something to Ah Mo, or rather, you said something to everyone individually." Cat shook her head.

"Oh, then what was I telling you?" Chen Luo asked curiously.

"Hmm, a raise?" Pado said after a moment's thought.

Chapter 516 The Collapsed Consciousness Rejects Your Entry

"Oh, Chen Luo, Chen Luo, you heartless man, are you finally willing to come see me?"

"Please don't portray me as some heartless man who abandoned his wife and children, okay?" Chen Luo sighed.

"Heh, there's no reason for such kindness. Tell me, my busy man, what brings you to Paradise to see me?" Alicia sat on the sofa in the lounge, crossed her legs, and looked at Chen Luo with a teasing expression.

"I came to ask you if you prefer pink burlap sacks, right?" Chen Luo asked obediently.

"...Can we not talk about that?" Hearing Chen Luo's question, Alicia was unusually silent for a moment.

"But the problem is I'm going to put a sack over your head tomorrow. After all, I promised to give you a surprise."

"This is a complete scare without any joy. Even if you really like a girl, you can't just snatch her away with a sack. You won't win her heart that way," Alicia said seriously.

However, Alicia now knows where she is in the progress of the previous civilization dungeon.

"Since I can't win a girl's heart, then of course I should win her body, otherwise wouldn't that be a huge loss?" Chen Luo shrugged.

"What kind of robber logic is this?" Alicia was surprised.

"Forced melons won't be sweet, but who cares if they are sweet or not? Bitter melons aren't inedible."

"Hmm, I get the feeling you're being really malicious today." Alicia stroked her chin, looking at Chen Luo with curiosity.

Alicia is definitely not worried that Chen Luo will actually force himself on her, the problem is that Chen Luo seems particularly interesting today.

"Could it be because you're tired of playing hide-and-seek with someone?" Chen Luo said quietly.

"Hmm?" Alicia tilted her head.

"It's nothing, I just like you too much," Chen Luo said irritably.

This morning, aside from handling official business, Chen Luo spent the rest of his time playing hide-and-seek with Alicia.

And honestly, even now, Alicia from the previous civilization is probably still searching for Chen Luo everywhere.

Evidence? The evidence is that Chen Luo's communicator is being constantly harassed by Alicia.

They've been harassing us constantly, it hasn't stopped at all!

"Wow, what a passionate confession!" Alicia exclaimed.

"Just kidding, don't take it seriously."

"Hmm, confessing your feelings to a girl without permission and then saying you were just joking is an unforgivable sin for a girl," Alicia said, sounding somewhat angry.

"Alright, the main reason I came to see you this time is to discuss the matter of apologizing tomorrow," Chen Luo said.

"What apology?" Alicia tilted her head.

"That's right, I'll apologize to you after I put a sack over your head," Chen Luo said honestly.

"...Is there any possibility that you won't put the sack over my head, so you won't have to apologize?" Alicia tried to suggest a possibility.

"I don't think it will work," Chen Luo shook his head.

"But I'll be angry if you do that."

"That's why I came to ask you how to coax you after I've put the sack over your head."

"Sigh..." Alicia sighed deeply.

Does this person have some serious illness?

"Although your request sounds infuriating, what can I do? You're Lolo, so I'll just tell you the perfect solution anyway," Alicia said helplessly.

"Oh, what's the answer?" Chen Luo asked, quite curious.

"Wrap yourself up, stuff yourself into a gift box, and then have someone leave the box outside my dorm. When I open the box and find you inside, I'll be absolutely thrilled," Alicia suggested, offering a rather constructive idea.

"...Are you kidding me?" Chen Luo said, somewhat disbelieving.

Chen Luo didn't realize he had such great charm.

"You were the one who joked with me first. You made my past self angry, and now you're asking my future self for ways to appease yourself? How could you do something like this?" Alicia said coldly.

"Ahem, okay, okay. Actually, that's not my main purpose for coming here this time. I just wanted to ask, Alicia, do you have nothing to do in Paradise of the Past every day?" Chen Luo asked.

“There really is nothing to do.” Alicia nodded.

"I was thinking about whether to throw a few Herrschers into the Paradise of the Dead and have you take care of them," Chen Luo said.

"Herrschers? Or several? Oh, you mean Raiden Mei and the others, right?" Alicia suddenly realized.

Although Alicia doesn't go to bars often, she has seen Raiden Mei and Kiana.

Although Alicia hadn't spoken to them much, she could tell from the other people's conversations that they seemed to be Herrschers.

This piqued Alicia's interest.

However, the reason I didn't approach them before was mainly because I was afraid of scaring them.

"That's right, it's them. And they happen to be Ling's classmates. It feels pretty smooth to let them get a taste of the harsh realities of life after Ling gets out of school."

“After all, training Valkyries through schools can bring joyful education, but it can never compare to real combat,” Chen Luo said.

For example, the difference between Durandal and Kiana.

Durandal is out of the question; she's not suitable for the Paradise of the Past, mainly because her combat power is far too excessive. While she definitely couldn't defeat Alicia and Kevin in their true forms, she could certainly beat the cat.

Of course, none of that matters. What matters is that Durandal has her own motivation to become stronger, and she also has her own tasks to complete. Kiana and the others clearly do not have this same motivation to train hard every day.

The fact that three people, including two Herrschers, couldn't defeat a bunch of Titan mechs was something Chen Luo found hard to accept.

Kiana, who are you? You're the one who bankrupted Anti-Entropy.

How can you be afraid of the Anti-Entropy Mech? Anyone can be afraid, but you can't be.

Therefore, Chen Luo felt it was necessary to give them some special training.

Of course, it would be fine for Fu Hua to train in this kind of thing, but the main reason is that Chen Luo felt that the Paradise of the Past was too deserted.

And for some reason, these people from Paradise of the Past don't come to the bar very often, so Chen Luo plans to add a few more training subjects for them.

Training new recruits would obviously pique their interest.

This idea suddenly came to Chen Luo before he went to search for the Honkai consciousness.

"The key is that they're all beautiful girls," Chen Luo specifically reminded Alicia.

"No problem, leave it to me." Alicia immediately assured her!

"You agreed so readily."

“When has Lolo ever asked me to do something and I haven’t been willing to agree?” Alicia retorted.

"Please, just stand here and let me put the sack over your head a few more times. This is my lifelong request."

"..."

"Alright, it seems they're not going to agree. If there's nothing else, I'll be going now."

"Sigh, you've finally made it to Paradise, and you're leaving so soon? Aren't you going to keep Dr. Möbius company? She misses you terribly."

"She's probably really keen to study me, isn't she?"

In fact, even though Chen Luo and Möbius were that close, Chen Luo knew that Möbius was indeed thinking of doing some in-depth research on him.

In fact, not only Mebius, but Chen Luo also wants to study himself.
