Their commission was suspicious.

……

"How's the discussion about Aponia going? Meow," Chen Luo asked as he walked with Mebius.

"...We are currently observing. Because of Alicia, Aponia is occasionally allowed to move freely, but so far we haven't been able to observe anything."

“If nothing unexpected happens, Aponia will probably be left to fend for itself in the end. The most important thing right now is Thousand Calamities,” Mebius said.

The Fire-Chasing Moth observed for a day but couldn't see anything special about Aponia, nor did it seem like it had any inside information.

Aponia appeared quite unfamiliar with the Fire-Chasing Moth.

The Moth Chaser is not a brutal organization, nor is it an organization that kills people at the drop of a hat. The Moth Chaser's mission is to resist the Honkai, so they cannot indiscriminately kill innocent people.

While it is true that Aponia took in a large number of Honkai patients, leading to the Honkai outbreak, her culpability would certainly be much less if she was unaware of it.

The original timeline would have handled it perfectly: Aponia would have undergone the fusion surgery, and if she died, it would have been her just deserts; if she survived, she would have become a fusion warrior and could have been used by the Firemoth.

"Oh, right, don't let it slip, Snake. Just say that the reason I added 'meow' to the end of every sentence was because you asked me to. Meow," Chen Luo said.

“…I understand.” Möbius was aware that Chen Luo added a “meow” to the end of every sentence, but he always felt very strange when he heard it.

What is Chen Luo trying to do to look cute?

“However, if you really want to perform the fusion surgery on Aponia, you need to demonstrate your dangerousness first. Otherwise, given your reputation with the Firemoth, having you perform the fusion surgery on Aponia would be a reward, not a punishment,” Möbius said.

Chen Luo rarely hides anything from Möbius; he is usually very open and honest. Therefore, Möbius is aware of Chen Luo's thoughts.

"Then I'll wait until my abilities are depleted after I've completed four surgeries before performing the fusion surgery on her. Besides, I can always perform the fusion surgery on Aponia by myself. I'll use the excuse that 'using abilities and performing surgery cannot be done simultaneously' to shut up those higher-ups. Meow," Chen Luo said.

There are Chen Luo's people among the high-level officials, and their numbers are increasing.

Those high-ranking members are indeed rarely seen, but they can't go without water. The entire Firemoth was flooded with orange juice, and many of the high-ranking members who stayed in the Firemoth were also affected. Although it didn't immediately turn them into puppets, it would subtly influence them a little.

“Hmm.” Mebius did not deny Chen Luo’s idea.

In fact, Möbius felt that he was the biggest destabilizing factor in the entire pre-civilization because he knew far too much.

Fortunately, I only know a part of it, not everything.

Meanwhile, in order to complete Chen Luo's plan, Mebius was also intentionally filtering out things he had previously been interested in.

In the past, Mebius longed to learn more from the Second Civilization Era in order to accelerate his research.

As for the possibility that the First Civilization Era might actually succeed in defeating the Herrscher of the End, thus preventing the Second Civilization Era from disappearing?

What does that have to do with Mebius?

In any civilization, as long as Möbius doesn't want to die, he can't die.

But after Chen Luo joined the fray, Mebius unusually chose to concede.

Mebius did nothing, yet that was his greatest contribution to the Second Civilization Era.

What a...annoying man.

Mebius glanced at Chen Luo.

So why didn't I meet him first? Instead, it was just some lowly law-abiding person.

It wasn't due to emotional entanglement, but rather because if Chen Luo had encountered Möbius first, he wouldn't have been entangled with the Second Civilization Era, and thus wouldn't have had to bear the immense pressure of choosing between the two civilizations.

Naturally, they would no longer have to bear the unimaginable responsibility of storing the entire civilization in a collection of dolls.

As for whether the form of dollification is a kind of constraint.

Möbius, however, felt that the method of continuously downloading capabilities from a network to replenish oneself could be considered a kind of universal infinity.

Although it's not truly infinite, it's enough for ordinary people.

Möbius had wanted to experience what it felt like to be a doll more than once, but Chen Luo had refused him each time.

After the conversation, Chen Luo snapped his fingers and released Hua's consciousness control.

……

When Chen Luo arrived at the lab and kept calling out "meow," Cang Xuan and Dan Zhu, as expected, collectively started laughing at him.

Then... Chen Luo confiscated their breakfasts, leaving them with long faces all morning.

Today, Chen Luo underwent four more fusion surgeries. Those higher-ups have truly mastered the art of exploiting labor.

Moreover, Chen Luo also discovered a serious problem: the will to live of those undergoing fusion surgery was getting lower and lower, because they seemed to know that they would definitely survive.

Moreover, some people simply want to try their luck, which makes their desire to become fusion warriors not very high. This means that Chen Luo can only get a maximum of two missions a day, earning 400 primal stones.

Seeing this, Chen Luo really wanted to stab each of them to stimulate their will to survive. However, Chen Luo was not so desperate as to ruin his reputation and destroy a person's life for these raw stones.

[Ding! Mission complete]

"It's hard to imagine that someone could become a true Fusion Warrior through sheer luck, even though history hasn't changed much."

Chen Luo looked at the young man in front of him with some surprise.

Fusion surgery is really a matter of luck. If you're lucky and there are a large number of patients, you're bound to succeed with one or two.

For example... this young man in front of me.

Of course, it was also a pity that... because the threat level suddenly increased significantly, Chen Luo had no choice but to apologize to the young man in front of him and simply turn him into a puppet. Then he restricted the fusion warrior's physique and external appearance.

Although I don't understand why, sometimes adding a fusion warrior can disrupt the original destiny and cause greater fluctuations in power.

Even though he could have become a Fusion Warrior through his own efforts.

This is why, despite actually having dozens of fusion warriors, the Fire Moth only has a handful of fusion warriors on paper.

However, the fusion warriors that appear normally in the early stages seem to have great potential.

Kevin, Alicia, Mebius, Sylvanas, Dobia, Scar, Aponia...

These were the original seven Fusion Warriors.

"Lolo, what are you looking at?" Alicia asked Chen Luo after he changed his clothes and left the operating room.

"It's nothing, just feeling a bit wistful about his luck. He has great potential, just one step away from a successful fusion surgery. Maybe he'll really become a fusion warrior after he recovers properly next time," Chen Luo said, turning his gaze away from the departing fusion warrior.

Moreover, this fusion warrior is also very talented.

Time Freeze: 4000 Originium (Original Price 8000 Originium)

Whether this fusion warrior can become one of the 13 Heroes is unclear, but he should definitely achieve great things.

[Ding! Please add the closing remarks as soon as possible]

"……Meow."

"Hahaha, it's actually true! Lolo, you really do add a 'meow' to the end of every sentence!" Alicia, who had been looking at Chen Luo with some disappointment, suddenly had a smile on her face.

"Aponia, come laugh with Lolo, meow meow meow. Hahaha..." Alicia Alicia laughed, clutching her stomach.

“Cangxuan, Danzhu… Meow.” Chen Luo narrowed his eyes.

Currently, only Cang Xuan, Dan Zhu, Klein, Hua, and Mebius know that Chen Luo would say such things, so it's quite obvious who did it, right?

“Aili…” Aponia shook her head helplessly.

"Oh, right. Cough cough, Lolo, I came to see you this time because I have something to say." Upon hearing Aponia's voice, Alicia suddenly remembered something and stopped trusting Chen Luo.

"No way. Meow."

"Sigh, I haven't even said what it is yet."

"In short, I'm not doing it. Meow." Chen Luo said decisively.

"Please, please." Alicia looked at Chen Luo expectantly.

[Ding! You have a new request!]

【For Aponia】: Cooperate with Alicia to ensure that Aponia's life is not endangered by the punishment of the Firemoth.

Reward: 400 Primogems + random reward

Difficulty: 3 stars

"Okay. Meow." Chen Luo could only nod after glancing at Alicia, who had already begun to learn how to use herself.

"Lolo is so good to me, I'm so touched," Alicia said.

"Consider it a wish I promised you I'd help you fulfill. Meow." Before Alicia could be moved for long, Chen Luo suddenly said.

"Huh, a wish? Which wish?" Alicia was taken aback.

"Of course, it's because I once put a pink burlap sack over your head, and then you said you'd only forgive me if I granted you one request. Meow," Chen Luo reminded him.

"Sigh, but back then my wish was to..."

"What? You think you can get something for nothing from me?" Chen Luo retorted.

Chen Luo knew, of course, that Alicia's wish was for him to perform a fusion surgery on Eden so that Eden wouldn't die if the surgery failed. But Alicia didn't say it out loud at the time.

Chen Luo knew that he had received this mission because of his talent.

"Okay. Lolo is no longer the friendly Lolo I remember." After glancing at Aponia, Alicia said "sadly."

It is now clear that Aponia needs this opportunity more. Although the higher-ups have not yet issued a verdict, Alicia has already vaguely guessed the punishment that Aponia may face.

"Alright, don't be so sad. At worst, when you come looking for me again, I'll just give you another chance to grant your wish, okay? Meow."

"Really? Lolo is so sweet!"

"Thanks for the compliment. Oh, by the way, remember to use your exact weight to exchange for more wish attempts. Meow." Chen Luo said, arms crossed.

"?!!"

"Lolo, are you a devil?" Alicia looked at Chen Luo in disbelief.

How could you say such cold words from a mouth that's only 37 degrees Celsius!

"Whether it's the devil or not, let's put that aside for now. You should tell me what you want me to do. Meow," Chen Luo reminded him.

Chapter 796 Kevin's Lame Jokes

Although Chen Luo would grant Alicia one more wish, Alicia was very happy, but she was very unhappy with the conditions Chen Luo proposed.

Alicia's wish to Chen Luo was for him to perform a fusion surgery on Eden, but she didn't say it at the time. Now, she has inadvertently given the spot to Aponia.

Alicia has many good friends, but her best friend is Eden.

At least for now.

However, considering that Eden probably doesn't want to become a Fusion Warrior right now, giving it to Aponia for now isn't a bad idea.

Anyway, at worst, I can just give Chen Luo a false weight number, right?

Despite saying that, Alicia was still bothered by Chen Luo's request, so even when she pulled Chen Luo aside to discuss it privately, Alicia's eyes looked like she wanted to kill him.

"To be honest, if you keep looking at me like that, I'm going to call for help. I'm just a weak, pitiful, and helpless researcher who's been talking to you, a fusion warrior, in a corner. You should know how much I trust you, right? So please stop looking at me like that, okay? Meow."

"Hmm... If you agree to give up on finding my biggest secret, I won't look at you like that anymore, okay?"

"Then you might as well just kill me. Meow." Chen Luo stretched out his neck and said.

If you won't let me flirt with Alicia, then you might as well just kill me.

"Forget it, now is not the time to discuss this. You should grant my wish."

"Of course, please tell me, what is your wish, meow."

“I want you to perform a fusion surgery on Aponia,” Alicia said, staring intently into Chen Luo’s eyes, as if wanting to see his reaction.

Sometimes a person's first reaction can reveal some of their tendencies.

“Sure. Meow.” Chen Luo nodded.

"Wow, that was easy?"

"Aili...do you have some misunderstanding about me? Meow." Chen Luo said in a strange tone.

Why do you think I would refuse this request, meow?

“No, I didn’t expect you to refuse, but I didn’t expect you to agree so readily. But never mind, none of that matters. The problem is, Lolo, tell me honestly, how many fusion surgeries can you perform in a day at most?” Alicia asked.

"Do it as many times as you want. Meow," Chen Luo said.

“Oh, that’s not what I meant. I meant how many fusion surgeries can you perform in a day, provided he doesn’t die even if the surgery fails?” Alicia poked Chen Luo’s soft waist and said.

"Three times. Meow."
