Their commission was suspicious.

When Mebius finished dressing, grabbed his breakfast, and walked out of the bedroom, he saw Chen Luo lying on the sofa, manipulating a humanoid puppet woven from silk threads to clean the room.

"You're out? Why didn't you finish breakfast first?" Chen Luo said without turning his head after hearing the noise.

“Who eats breakfast in their bedroom?” Mebius said irritably.

"But your living room is so messy it's better to eat in the bedroom," Chen Luo muttered under his breath.

"What did you say?"

"Ahem, I was saying you could do some cleaning occasionally. If you really can't, ask Klein, and if you can't find Klein, ask me." Chen Luo changed the subject.

"I slept quite well tonight."

"That's fine."

"To be continued later."

"??? This could kill someone." Chen Luo turned his head and looked at Mebius in horror.

"Didn't you say there was no consumption?" Mebius looked down at Chen Luo.

"Ahem, I mean you'll get yourself killed. After all, staying up this late isn't a good idea."

"Oh, in what way did someone die?" Mebius asked Chen Luo, his tone slightly ambiguous.

"??? Something's wrong with you." Chen Luo covered himself with his hands.

"Heh. Alright, I'm not kidding anymore. Are you going to St. Freya Academy for a celebration today?" Mebius asked, sitting next to Chen Luo and placing his breakfast on the coffee table before starting to eat.

"Mm." Chen Luo nodded.

"So you're planning to finish the surgery early today?"

"If possible, it'd better be quick."

“It’s very simple. Just kill them at the start of each surgery, and then you can turn them into puppets. They can’t possibly succeed anyway,” Möbius proposed the simplest, most effective, and feasible method.

This can indeed increase efficiency.

"No, no, it's not that bad. What if someone succeeds?" Chen Luo waved his hand.

"Only one in ten thousand can become a fusion warrior. The fusion surgery is still immature, so it's unlikely to succeed unless we use the resistance gained after death to keep stacking it." Mebius didn't have much hope for this.

"Perhaps we could study some of the more obvious characteristics that are common to becoming a Fusion Warrior, and use that to test whether someone has the aptitude to become one. This could reduce a lot of waste," Mebius pondered.

"If you can't finish it, you can eat it for me." After thinking for a while, Mebius pushed his half-eaten breakfast directly in front of Chen Luo.

"...Did you eat instant noodles again when you got home last night?" Chen Luo frowned.

“Hmm.” Mebius’s voice was much softer.

"Don't eat it next time. Didn't I put a lot of food in your storage ring?"

"But instant noodles are actually quite delicious. Okay, okay, I know, I'll try my best." Looking at Chen Luo's serious gaze, Möbius sighed.

"Hey, I thought the person Mei specially shoved in was special, but I didn't expect him to be someone who died after just one fusion surgery." Chen Luo said, watching the last fusion surgery volunteer being pushed away in a wheelchair.

Chen Luo and Mebius arrived at the lab early today to prepare for the surgery, and then specifically notified the volunteers to arrive an hour early.

Normally, I finish three surgeries around 11 o'clock, but now I finish four surgeries around 10 o'clock.

“That’s normal. The early stages of fusion surgery are bound to be fraught with danger, often involving the loss of lives. By the way, when do you plan to start performing fusion surgeries on your own?” Möbius asked Chen Luo.

"The snake doesn't like me anymore. Waaaaah~~"

“Be serious,” Mebius said expressionlessly.

“Okay, to get permission from above to perform fusion surgery independently, I first need sufficient observation experience, and secondly, I need a suitable opportunity. There’s no rush now,” Chen Luo said.

"Hey!" A toy hammer fell from the sky and smashed straight into Chen Luo's head.

The toy hammer called "dun" is made of balloons; no matter how hard you hit it, it won't cause any injury.

But the key point is the person who used this toy hammer to hit Chen Luo.

"Mebius, Alicia bullied me." After being hit by a hammer, Chen Luo turned his head to look at the attacker before hiding behind Mebius.

"If I really wanted to bully you, I would have used a real hammer." Alicia held the toy hammer and looked at Chen Luo with displeasure.

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have called you that yesterday," Chen Luo said, hiding behind Mebius.

"Now you know how to apologize? Too late! I'll show you what the Pink Fairy's wrath is all about!" Alicia was quite concerned about the four words "pink fat woman" that Chen Luo used.

Although Alicia knew Chen Luo was joking, since he knew her secret about her weight, she shouldn't leave him alive.

"Protect the Emperor!" Chen Luo shouted.

"Doctor, I'm here." Upon hearing Chen Luo's voice, Hua, who was talking to Kevin, instantly turned around and ran towards him.

Kevin came again after Chen Luo resumed his old ways today. After all, if Chen Luo accidentally killed someone after taking a few days off, Kevin would have to give him some advice.

Try persuasion with words first; if that doesn't work, then use force.

Upon seeing Hua at the operating room entrance, Kevin couldn't help but exchange a few words with her.

Although Kevin was deeply saddened by killing the opposing team's captain with his own hands—after all, they were comrades-in-arms—he knew that Hua must be even more heartbroken.

Upon seeing Hua running towards her, Alicia knew that her time was running out.

So he immediately pulled Mebius aside and pounced on Chen Luo, then grabbed him by the throat, initiating a maneuver to control Chen Luo.

"Snake, you didn't stop her at all." Chen Luo looked at Mebius with some sadness.

As a fusion warrior, Mebius should at least be able to hold off Alicia; he can't just be pulled aside like that.

“I’m just a researcher,” Möbius said.

"Hua, don't come any closer. If you get any closer, I'll smash Luo Luo to death with this toy hammer." Alicia had one hand locked around Chen Luo's throat while holding the toy hammer against Chen Luo's head.

"...Luo, how did you offend Alicia?" Hua asked after sighing.

"Haha... Is this something I should say?" Chen Luo turned his head with difficulty to look at Alicia.

“Don’t tell me, or I’ll smash you to death with a toy hammer,” Alicia said.

“…I’m sorry, I was wrong. Can I treat you to a meal?” Chen Luo said.

"Are you kidding? You hurt a girl's self-esteem, how could I let you off so easily?"

"I made it myself."

"Hmm... Mebius, is Lolo's cooking good?" Alicia looked at Mebius after hearing this.

"Delicious," Mebius commented fairly and objectively.

“Then I want it twice,” Alicia threatened, brandishing her toy hammer.

"no problem!"

"I also want to be able to bring people to eat here!"

"No problem."

"I'll let you off this time, but let me tell you, if you dare leak this information, even Mebius won't be able to save you," Alicia said fiercely, holding a toy hammer.

"Understood." Unable to reveal his strength, Chen Luo could only submit to Alicia's tyranny. Of course, the more important reason was that it was his own fault, so he had to bear the consequences.

"Where did you get this toy hammer?" Chen Luo asked, scratching the back of his head after Alicia let go of him.

Although Alicia was a little overweight, her body was well-proportioned, so she had a great figure. And since she had just been choked, the back of her head felt very good.

Upon seeing Chen Luo's actions, a glint flashed in Möbius's eyes. He then took a few steps forward, but "accidentally" stepped on Chen Luo's foot as he passed by.

“Oh, this? I took it from Velvi’s magic props. She didn’t mind lending it to me. Especially when I said it was for hitting you, there seemed to be a hint of interest in her eyes,” Alicia said.

"Lolo, you've made a lot of enemies."

"No, is it possible that I don't have many enemies, but that the other party is just someone who enjoys themselves?" Chen Luo suggested a possibility.

The portable scale that Chen Luo used to measure Alicia's weight was provided by Vilvi, and the hammer that Alicia used to hit Chen Luo was also provided by Vilvi.

I understand, Vilvi is the god of civil war.

"When do you plan to eat my cooking?" Chen Luo asked Alicia.

"Tomorrow, I'll try your cooking first. If it's really good, I'll bring my friends over," Alicia said after thinking for a moment.

“Sure. What kind of food do you prefer?” Chen Luo asked as he reached out and took the hammer from Alicia’s hand. Alicia was thinking about Chen Luo’s question, so she didn’t pay attention.

"That depends on what your specialty dishes are."

"I'm good at cooking everything. How about stewed Honkai Beasts?"

"This is way too extreme! Are you really a chef?"

"The finest ingredients often require only the simplest cooking methods." Chen Luo slowly walked to Hua's side and handed him the hammer. Hua took the hammer somewhat bewildered, and then Chen Luo pulled him in front of him.

"Go, Hua, take the hammer and beat her up!" Chen Luo said, pointing at Alicia.

"Huh?" Hua and Alicia were both startled.

Chen Luo had already run towards Kevin, who was standing some distance away.

"Kevin, help me!"

"..."

Kevin felt that Chen Luo had brought this upon himself, so he simply retreated to the side.

……

After being beaten by Alicia, Chen Luo went to his bedroom under the pretext of recuperating.

This is Chen Luo's retreat route.

As soon as Chen Luo entered the bar, he saw Xilin casually eating a huge sundae.

Upon hearing the wind chimes, Xilin turned around and flew over after recognizing Chen Luo.

"Master, you're finally here! You're late!"

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. The surgery was a bit complicated, so it was delayed a while," Chen Luo said, glancing at the time.

Half an hour has passed since Chen Luo initially agreed to the time.

However, under Chen Luo's sweet words, Xiao Xilin forgave him.

Then, Xiao Xilin led Chen Luo to a relatively remote place in St. Freya Academy, and then joined the celebration.

St. Freya Academy is quite large and quite luxurious.

If you saw St. Freya Academy without knowing it was a Valkyrie school, you might mistake it for a royal or aristocratic school. Both its size and facilities are incredibly luxurious.

This also shows Otto's affection for Theresa.

St. Freya Academy is much more lively than before.

During the St. Freya Academy Festival, when Valkyrie parents could be invited to visit, countless people flocked to this school that is normally never open to the public.

Especially when viewed from Chen Luo's direction, it felt like walking into a food street, with various food stalls lining both sides of the road.

"Where are Fu Hua and the others?" Chen Luo asked as he walked with Xiao Xilin.

"They went to rehearsal."

"Hmm, wasn't the rehearsal work we did before enough?"

"Isn't this because of a last-minute change of actors, Cheng Lixue?" Xiao Xilin said.

"Class monitor? Want to try some takoyaki?" A student who had just finished working looked up at Chen Luo and the others at the entrance and waved.

"Oh, it's Lina. Thank you for your hard work. Three servings, please." The Herrscher of Knowledge, who had just woken up and was standing next to Chen Luo, coughed twice and said.

The Herrscher of Knowledge possesses Fu Hua's memories, so she naturally knows Fu Hua's classmates. As for impersonating Fu Hua, the Herrscher of Knowledge seems quite adept at it.

After collecting a card from Chen Luo and Xilin respectively, the Herrscher of Knowledge walked proudly toward the student who called him class monitor.

Although everything during the celebration is paid for by Destiny, it is still necessary to calculate the sales amount in order to determine the sales revenue. The method for calculating the sales revenue this time is to count how many stamps are on a card.

Each stall has its own numbered stamp, which is collected and tallied at the end of the day.

Of course, stamping is not arbitrary; a stamp can only be applied for each item sold. If any item is falsified, the entire result will be invalidated.
