Their commission was suspicious.

Chen Luo still came to the bar in the evening. His hands were almost useless after shooting arrows all day, so he naturally needed a rest. Fortunately, Chen Luo had learned a simple spiritual healing technique, which allowed him to heal his hands and arms.

As for why not use firearms? Well, there isn't enough ammunition.

"Wouldn't that be very dangerous for you? Hurry up and come to St. Freya Academy. At least it seems pretty good today." Kiana looked at Chen Luo with some concern, while also setting up a mahjong set in front of her.

"Are S-rank Valkyries really that strong?" Raiden Mei, sitting next to Chen Luo, couldn't help but worry.

"You'll have to ask Theresa about that."

“As defined by the lore, S-rank Valkyries are beings capable of barely resisting Herrschers. Therefore, every S-rank Valkyrie is extremely strong, without a doubt,” Theresa said very seriously.

Of course, Theresa's stool, which was raised two tiers high, completely destroyed any semblance of seriousness.

"A Herrscher... Since Alo can defeat Mei in her Herrscher form, does that mean Alo is equivalent to an S-rank Valkyrie?" Kiana couldn't help but ask.

Ultimately, after a brief encounter with St. Freya Academy, Raiden Mei revealed that she was a Herrscher, because it was something that could not be hidden at all.

If Mei didn't want to hurt the people around her, she had no choice but to tell them.

After losing the Eye of God and being suppressed by the continuous absorption of Honkai energy, the Herrscher consciousness may reappear before long if no measures are taken.

Then Chen Luo won't be there to help defeat the Herrscher's consciousness.

“How could that be? S-rank Valkyries aren’t so easy to defeat, and Mei isn’t a normal Herrscher either.” Theresa shook her head.

However, Theresa had some difficulty explaining to Kiana what an S-class Valkyrie was.

"To put it simply, Durandal fighting that Honkai Emperor we encountered is just like Kiana fighting ordinary assassins." Chen Luo finally offered a suitable analogy.

"Wow, an S-rank Valkyrie is too strong! Aren't you in great danger, Aro?" Kiana exclaimed again.

"Don't worry, it's not a big problem. Although I can't beat her, she won't kill me. She just wants to capture me. As long as she won't kill me, it's easy to escape, like hiding in a bar, just like now," Chen Luo said without fear.

“That makes sense, but then again, you could have taken us away from the bar instantly, so why did you have to rush?” Kiana asked.

"Seriously, Kiana? You've already forgotten that it was you who insisted on going to the TV station to find Dad? If you hadn't insisted on going to the TV station, you would have been at St. Freya Academy by now. But then you wouldn't have met Bronya, so it's a trade-off." Chen Luo rolled his eyes at Kiana.

"What? What do you mean by gains and losses? I should have just left with you back then. After saving Bronya, he even stole my chicken leg, and we didn't get anything from the TV station. We couldn't find any trace of Dad..." Kiana muttered.

"Kiana, don't say that about Bronya..." Mei said.

"It was just that the idiot Kiana was too slow." Bronya, holding a Homu plushie, looked at Kiana with disdain.

"you……"

"jingle!"

"We have guests, Mei. You go play first, I'll go greet the guests." Chen Luo gave his seat to Mei and then went down to the second floor.

That's right, in order to avoid making the guests on the first floor feel noisy, Chen Luo put the mahjong set on the second floor.

"I'll definitely buy a fully automatic mahjong machine later!"

Arranging the cards yourself is just too much trouble.

After going down to the first floor, I saw Wendy and Yura talking.

These two were the first two people to arrive at Chen Luo's shop after it opened today.

Wendy arrives early every day, while Yura comes to the tavern to rest after finishing off some monsters on a mission.

According to Yura, having a safe and quiet place to rest after chasing monsters is a very luxurious idea.

But this bar perfectly met all her requirements, even providing alcohol.

However, the focus now is clearly not on the two drunkards, but on the one who just arrived, Miss Mebius.

"Long time no see, Miss Mebius. How's the research on that evil god's flesh going?" Chen Luo greeted Mebius.

However, sensing the dangerous aura that Mebius brought him, which was different from before, Chen Luo could tell that the other party had indeed undergone super transformation surgery.

And there is...

Chen Luo discovers that he has two friends who are close to Möbius.

One is the memory version of Möbius, and the other is the real Möbius.

Regardless of which Möbius offers the discount, it's always 5% off.

Moreover, Chen Luo didn't know if it was because he still knew Möbius, who was still alive, that both of Möbius's friend slots were lit up.

This made Chen Luo somewhat unsure whether the real Möbius in the next civilization was alive or truly dead.

However, the fact that one person took up two of Chen Luo's friend slots was something Chen Luo found hard to accept.

Chen Luo originally had 50 friend slots, and now each person is taking up two... I wonder if the friend slots can be expanded.

"That meat... I don't know if it's because the world is different, but in my research, it looks exactly like ordinary snake meat, but its owner's terrifying regeneration and resurrection abilities are real..."

Mebius walked to a table and sat down, and Chen Luo sat down opposite him.

“As I said, the differences between worlds also lead to different laws. There is no Demon Realm where you are, so it is normal that the flesh of the Evil God cannot work,” Chen Luo said.

“But now it seems you also possess some strange powers, right? You exude a dangerous aura.” Chen Luo looked Mebius up and down.

Chen Luo looked at this Mebius and saw that he looked no different from the Mebius who came last time. He wondered if the other person had died before.

"Yes, I underwent a super-transformation surgery, transplanting the genes of a magical creature. After the successful surgery, I gained the ability to resurrect. But it seems I can't display this power in this tavern." Möbius stretched out his hand, examining his pristine white fingers.

"That's normal. It's a tavern, after all. Harmony brings wealth, so naturally, we won't let customers fight here. So you didn't use that little evil god's flesh?" Chen Luo asked.

“No, I used it. In my opinion, this little evil god should be a higher-dimensional life form. Although it seems a bit absurd and unruly, its inexplicable rebirth is indeed hard to explain. And coincidentally, the genes extracted from that little evil god's flesh have a very high degree of compatibility with the genes of the Honkai Beast I fused with, so I implanted them into my body together,” Mebius said with a smile.

"You dare to implant it without even understanding what it is? Aren't you worried about something going wrong?" Chen Luo was genuinely surprised by this.

Chen Luo knew Mebius was crazy, but he didn't expect him to be this crazy.

"Are you... concerned about me?" Möbius placed his hands on the table and stared intently at Chen Luo.

"Uh..." Chen Luo was speechless for a moment.

Could this be the effect of that damn favorability rating?

Try to maximize your popularity with the other person within the maximum level of their favorability.

I did care a little, but from the other person's perspective, it had already become something else entirely.

"Dr. Möbius, what brings you here this time? It can't be just for drinking, can it? Alcohol is bad for your health, and you have a low alcohol tolerance, so I don't recommend you drink."

"I'm not here for a drink, I'm here to buy some goods," Möbius said with a smile and a shake of his head.

"And when did you become as long-winded as Klein?"

"It's not that I'm being long-winded, but speaking of Klein... Doctor, when you were resurrected, you always had to pay a price, right?"

"There is indeed a price to pay, just a slight reduction in physical age and the need to replenish a certain amount of Honkai energy. Do you understand Honkai energy? It's a type of energy unique to our world. Roughly..."

For some reason, after undergoing the super-transformation surgery, Mebius seemed to find Chen Luo more agreeable, and was even willing to share less important secrets with him.

[Non-human friend]

It's uncertain whether the old Mebius could be considered inhuman, but the current Mebius is definitely inhuman.

Or rather, all 13 heroes were non-human.

"Then I suggest you carry a Honkai energy crystal with you at all times, so that you don't run out of energy to absorb when you revive and end up attacking some precious Honkai beast specimens. Wouldn't that mean you'd lose a lot of valuable samples?"

Chen Luo couldn't explain to the other party that the other party might be killed by Klein, and then Klein would be killed again because Honkai energy was needed for resurrection.

Therefore, we can only use other warnings to make the other party take this matter seriously.

"What you said makes a good point, thank you for your concern."

"No need to thank me, just remember it." Chen Luo shook his head.

Chen Luo doesn't dare to make any major changes to the future for the time being, for fear of triggering some terrible reactions, but he can help out in some way if it's just these small things.

Klein was no hero; even if he wasn't killed by Möbius, he wouldn't live much longer, probably...

"What would you like to drink? Besides alcohol, I have a lot of other things here," Chen Luo asked.

"Hmm, if possible, could you give me some of your blood?" Mebius stared intently at Chen Luo, licking his lips.

"Of course, other bodily fluids are also acceptable."

"???" Chen Luo instinctively hugged himself tighter.

What are you trying to do, woman?

"Don't worry, I won't hurt you, and no one in this tavern can hurt you, right? I'm just really interested in you."

"What?"

"Why? Isn't someone who has the ability to connect different worlds worth studying? Besides, my intuition tells me that you are hiding an even bigger secret."

Möbius suddenly stood up, leaning forward to brace himself against the table, instantly closing the distance between himself and Chen Luo.

The tables in Chen Luo's bar are all wooden, full of retro style, and they are not very wide, so Chen Luo and Mebius are very close together.

"I'm sorry, I sell my art, not my body." Chen Luo shook his head.

Go to Möbius's experimental table? Who knows what will happen?

"Don't be so quick to refuse. If I'm not mistaken, your tavern doesn't actually not charge a fee, but rather a more unusual kind of fee, like... a person's obsession, desire, joy, or emotion."

“No one does business that loses money entirely. Your bar doesn’t accept currency from other worlds, so naturally you have to charge some peculiar fees. And when I was here last time, I noticed that whenever someone makes a request and you fulfill it, you sometimes laugh even more happily than the other person. And you’re also trying to induce them to spend money, especially on that… uh, bard.” Mebius’s gaze fell on Wendy, who was drinking with Yura.

"Moreover, the commission board at the entrance of the tavern is enough to prove some of my points and confirm some of my ideas."

"So, are my current joys and desires strong enough?" Soon, Möbius turned his head and looked intently at Chen Luo.

For some reason, Mebius felt a strange longing for Chen Luo whenever he saw him again.

His blood, his body samples... even his whole being.

Mebius's snake-like intuition told him that Chen Luozhen truly harbored many secrets and was a near-perfect guinea pig.

[Ding! You have a new request!]

[Möbius's Laboratory]: Möbius now really wants you to lie on her operating table and then do this and that to you.

Rewards: 1200 Primogems + Mebius has additional rewards.

Difficulty: Four stars

"Mebius really knows how to handle a commission," Chen Luo thought to himself.

Currently, it seems that among all the tavern's guests, Möbius and the problem are the ones who understand Chen Luo's needs the most.

Wendy had been taken advantage of by Chen Luo so much, day and night, that she had become almost familiar with his thoughts.

If Wendy doesn't understand what Chen Luo wants, then she's wasted thousands of years of her life.

Mebius, on the other hand, learned about this matter through her exceptional intelligence and keen observation.

Of course, this is also why Chen Luo didn't hide his thoughts at all.

Why hide it?

If the other party knew about this special reward, wouldn't they still patronize the tavern?

Take Wendy for example. Wendy knew what Chen Luo wanted from the beginning, but she still came here every day. For Wendy, it was practically like getting something for free.

Furthermore, Wendy has almost mastered some techniques to make it easier for her to complete commissions.

This is truly a case of being exploited so much that one can now choose a more comfortable way to be exploited.

But none of this does Chen Luo any harm, does it?

In this way, Chen Luo can better complete the mission and obtain the raw stones.

Even if someone uses this mechanism to generate commissions that are detrimental to Chen Luo.

Why doesn't Chen Luo just refuse?

Even stronger than Venti, who frequently generates commissions, is Mebius, who directly generated a four-star commission.

Sigh, Wendy, can't you be a little more ambitious? You could at least get a three-star commission.

Thinking of this, Chen Luo looked angrily at Wendy drinking in the distance.

Wendy's reputation was damaged by public criticism.

Chapter 80 Gifts to Enhance Möbius's Favorability

"I'm sorry, I can't accept this request. I'm scared." Although the four-star request was tempting, Chen Luo shook his head and refused it.
