Their commission was suspicious.

"And why do I feel like you're all in the exact same position as before I left? Don't tell me I was up there for so long and you didn't move an inch down there." Chen Luo looked at the people in front of him in surprise.

Although Chen Luo could understand that the other party's relationship was indeed extremely chaotic.

Chen Luo hadn't expected things to be this chaotic.

"Stop, I don't want to hear what you have to say. If you've decided when you want to travel to another world, just tell me, and I'll take you." Chen Luo interrupted Yae Sakura's spellcasting as she was about to speak.

"And the three of you really should leave now. Or perhaps you'd like to have dinner here?" Chen Luo glanced at the time on his talent panel.

There are still three hours until dinner.

"Eat?" Karen suddenly perked up when she heard that word.

"..."

"What foodie?" Chen Luo looked at Karen with surprise.

"I'm hungry, let's have lunch together?" Karen invited the two people in front of her.

"..."

"can."

What could Yae Sakura and Otto say? How could those two possibly refuse?

[Ding! You have a new request!]

"Sigh, let's go, let's go to the first floor." Chen Luo sighed and took the lead towards the first floor.

Chen Luo originally wanted to get rid of these three troublesome people, but since they had already issued the commission, he naturally couldn't be polite.

No one can stop Chen Luo from earning raw stones except Chen Luo himself.

......

"This Kallen is really too heartless, how can she still eat?" The Herrscher of Knowledge, who was sitting in the bar with Chen Luo, leaned on the bar counter and looked at Kallen, Otto, and Yae Sakura eating in the distance.

To be precise, it was Kallen eating, and Yae Sakura and Otto watching Kallen eat.

“I think anyone has the right to say that, but you are the only one who doesn’t,” Chen Luo said, glancing at the Herrscher of Knowledge.

What a joke! If we're talking about being heartless and ruthless, who can compare to the Lawgiver of Knowledge?

"What's wrong with me?" The Herald of Knowledge said unhappily, as if he had understood the implication in Chen Luo's words.

"No, you're very cute, really," Chen Luo said, half sincerely and half perfunctorily.

"When are these three people leaving? I want to go home," Chen Luo suddenly said, watching Karen eating and drinking heartily.

"What's wrong? Suddenly feeling homesick?"

"It's not that I miss home, I just want to give myself a half-day off that I haven't had in a long time, uh, three hours off, since I have to open the bar tonight."

"Sigh, thinking about it carefully, it suddenly feels like this month of summer vacation has passed in the blink of an eye, because it's been so incredibly busy that there's basically no time to rest." Chen Luo's thoughts wandered as he fiddled with the Friendship Revolver in his hand.

"Speaking of which, I remember high school students have very short summer vacations, right?"

“Yes, so what do you want to say?” Chen Luo nodded.

Have you done your summer homework?

"...Wait...uh, didn't Yunxia say she'd be in charge of finding someone to help me with my summer homework? That shouldn't be a problem, right?"

"I see. Then it seems you can finally get some rest, since you only have a few days left on your vacation." The Herrscher of Knowledge nodded.

"Holiday... Let me count, it seems like there are still 17 days left. There are only 17 days until school starts. But I have a feeling that even if school starts, I might skip classes. After all, I can't really tolerate spending long hours in class and not completing tasks to earn rewards," Chen Luo sighed.

Previously, Chen Luo thought that attending classes properly was not a problem, since class time was a rare rest time for him in the previous two years.

Unless there are some particularly annoying jerks who take up Chen Luo's time during class, Chen Luo is most relaxed during class.

But now Chen Luo feels that instead of attending classes obediently, it would be better to go to the Möbius Lab and do some experiments.

"How can Yunxia and the others endure attending classes at school every day? Don't they cultivate?" Chen Luo was completely baffled.

In Chen Luo's opinion, attending classes was already a luxury.

Instead of spending time in class, Chen Luo would learn more from textbooks, and at a higher efficiency.

Meanwhile, since the bar business got on track, Chen Luo has been receiving tasks almost every day during the day, and completing them will bring him considerable profits.

It could be said that Chen Luo was getting stronger almost every moment while completing the mission.

Moreover, having witnessed countless other worlds, Chen Luo is filled with curiosity about even more of them.

This may be Chen Luo's nature, and also the origin of Chen Luo's talent as a traveler.

"But the problem is, apart from Yunxia, ​​it seems that the other two have stopped going to school," the Herrscher of Knowledge reminded him.

"Ah, right." Chen Luo suddenly realized.

"I used to wonder why Yun Lian'er would stay in her hospital room all day instead of going to school, but now I suddenly understand. If she had time to go to school, she might as well spend it in the hospital room learning more magic spells and putting them in the Great Library. Isn't that more valuable than sitting obediently in school?"

"It seems that Liu Wenxuan hasn't gone to school for two months after he awakened his ability. I almost thought he transferred schools."

"So, it seems that Yunxia, ​​who goes to school normally, is the odd one out," Chen Luo suddenly realized.

It turns out that it wasn't just me who preferred to focus on increasing my power after gaining it; rather, most teenagers who suddenly acquired power enjoyed doing the same thing.

"Yunxia may be able to enjoy campus life with peace of mind because she has already awakened her talent for two years and has passed the golden period of novelty and strength improvement."

"Although this problem could be solved by creating a puppet to take my place at school, I feel like I'm becoming more and more disconnected from my main world and my normal life over the past month or so," Chen Luo said, frowning.

"How could the rift not be severe? Let me do the math. We officially met a week before summer vacation started, and you awakened your talent. And now, only 27 days have passed since summer vacation began."

"That means you've only been away from becoming a Talented Person for 34 days. That's a little over a month and four days, which is more than the increase I've made in 50,000 years. I feel pretty resentful about that." The Herrscher of Knowledge stood with her hands on her hips, looking at Chen Luo, who was slightly taller than her, her face full of dissatisfaction.

"Things can't be compared like that. If you're going to say that, then what about you? You were born and, just a second later, you already had the ability to go toe-to-toe with Kevin. Did I say anything? You, the Herrscher of Knowledge, who didn't even have a childhood in terms of strength, have no right to say that."

"Huh? You think that's how it works? Fine, fine, even if that's how it works, I've been alive for several months now, while you awakened your abilities even earlier than I was born, and you're stronger than me now. So why am I the one who's more outrageous?"

"Why not? Although I only awakened my talent a little over a month ago, I prepared for a long time—two whole years. So I'm the one who's worse."

"???" The Lawbringer didn't quite understand Chen Luo's calculation method.

"Stop. Don't calculate it anymore, really. Bianca, you be the judge." Chen Luo turned to look at Durandal, who was sitting at the bar.

“…I feel I have nothing to say.” Durandal sighed.

Durandal thought the two people in front of her were quite outrageous.

Of course, if we're talking about something outrageous, it has to be Chen Luo, after all, Yulandel watched him grow up.

When I met him, he was a cheerful newbie with an exceptional ability to escape.

But now he's become incredibly good at infuriating people.

"As expected, I'm the most ordinary one. You guys can rely on talent, but I can only rely on hard work."

"..." Chen Luo looked at Durandal in surprise, who seemed to be in Versailles.

"Oh, right, Bianca, could you do me a favor and give this videotape to Theresa?" Chen Luo said, taking a USB drive out of his backpack.

"Don't look at me like that. USB drives and videotapes are just for storing videos. As long as they work, that's all that matters, right? Hurry up and go. I'll treat you to dinner when you get back." Chen Luo quickly said, seeing Bianca's bewildered look as she held the USB drive.

"What's in here?" Durandal asked, frowning.

“This is a great find. Theresa will be very surprised when she sees it. You can take a look too,” Chen Luo said.

"..." Yulandel did not get up, because Yulandel always felt that Chen Luo, this treacherous commoner, wanted to harm her.

"Why don't you go and give this to Theresa yourself?"

"Because I have to watch the shop," Chen Luo said, pointing to Otto and the others.

"Okay, I'll go."

Although Durandal knew that Chen Luo's USB drive definitely didn't contain anything good, and it wasn't a reward either.

But Chen Luo successfully aroused Durandal's curiosity.

Yulandel, holding the USB drive, walked towards the bar door that Chen Luo had already opened.

There, a door with a sign that reads "Dean's Office" is right across from the bar's entrance.

......

"Please come in." After tearing the latest version of the Houmu comic in her hand into invisible fragments with lightning speed, Theresa said, feigning composure.

"Oh no. Since the other party knocked, it means it's not Himeko! I tore it up for nothing!" But after tearing it up, Theresa felt a pang of regret.

In order to maintain her image as dean, Theresa had to at least present an image of being a hard-working person in front of other faculty and students.

But Theresa couldn't possibly love her job, and she really wanted to read the Houmu comics, so she could only pretend.

The move that can tear the Houmu comic to shreds in an instant is the one that Theresa mastered after practicing hard for several months.

Because Himeko never knocks on doors, there was no time to hide her body; the only option was to destroy the evidence.

"Ah, it's Durandal. What are you doing here?" Theresa's face was full of reluctance when she saw that the visitor was Durandal.

However, she was also slightly relieved that she had disposed of the body so thoroughly, since, in some ways, Durandal and Himeko were the kind of people who would nag Theresa.

Just like when Theresa and Durandal were on a mission together before, Durandal often scolded Theresa for being indecent.

Even after Theresa learned that Durandal was actually her real niece, this remained true.

Or perhaps it was because this identity was made public that Theresa had to maintain her dignity as Aunt Flo in front of Durandal.

"Auntie, you're reading comics again," Durandal said, glancing at Theresa's empty desk.

"What? How did you figure that out?" Theresa exclaimed in surprise.

"...I won't tell you. After all, if I tell you, you'll hide it even more deeply next time." Durandal shook her head.

The truth is, who would stare at an empty table when they have nothing better to do?

"Sigh, Bianca, you... never mind, what do you need me for?"

"This is a video that Chen Luo asked me to give you." Durandal placed the USB drive that Chen Luo had given her directly on Theresa's table.

"What is this?" Theresa looked at the USB drive curiously.

"I don't know, Chen Luo gave it to me, saying it could be a surprise for you." Yulandel shook her head.

"Honestly, Chen Luo is always causing me trouble." Theresa muttered to herself as she turned on her computer.

"All they do is stuff strange people into St. Freya Academy all day long. Siegfried, Raiden Ryoma and the others are one thing, but how can they stuff those ancient people into the academy?"

"Although Cangxuan and Danzhu are indeed outstanding researchers, it feels strange that they are working at my school."

"Now they've sent another video, I don't know what it is. I have a feeling Chen Luo has ill intentions."

"We definitely need to have a serious talk with Chen Luo later, otherwise St. Freya Academy will be in a terrible state because of him."

While Theresa was complaining about Chen Luo, her computer successfully booted up. After inserting the USB drive, she found only one folder inside, which made it easy for Theresa to figure out what Chen Luo wanted to show her.

Durandal raised an eyebrow as she looked at the filename.

[Thus Spoke Apocalypse]

This video... Durandal seems to have seen it before, but it was the animated version.

The cover of this video features a real-life Otto.

"What is it? I'm so curious." Just as Durandal was hesitating whether to stop Theresa from watching the video, Theresa opened the folder and started watching the video without hesitation.

Theresa, your grandfather is gone.

It started with a bombshell.

"what?"

Chapter 535 Anchor Points for Teleportation in Time and Space

"Chen Luo! How dare you lie to me!"

"Bang!" A very violent kicking sound rang out as Theresa dragged Judas, who weighed over 100 kilograms, through the door.

And faint tear stains could still be seen in Theresa's eyes.

Clearly, the heavily modified "Thus Spoke Apocalypse" dealt a severe blow to Theresa's young mind.

Although Theresa hasn't experienced the series of events yet and wouldn't have much of a reaction to the original video, Chen Luo is quite skilled at editing.
