Their commission was suspicious.

"The deepest part... always feels like a magical place."

“Don’t be unnecessarily curious about that kind of place. If you’re really curious, you can go find Wilvi. Given her habit of always leaving a backdoor in everything, there’s bound to be a backdoor she left deep inside as well,” May said.

“I do know that the deepest part is a prison designed and built by Vilvi.” Chen Luo nodded.

“But I feel that even that prison might not be able to completely contain Qian Jie. With his power, which is comparable to that of a fusion warrior, there is no prison that can contain him, right?” Chen Luo then asked.

"Although I don't know why, Qianjie expressed some dissatisfaction with the Fire-Chasing Moth, but he didn't have any intention of escaping from it," Mei said.

This is good news.

"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. Luo, have you decided who you want as your fusion surgery assistant?" Mei asked Chen Luo.

"Huh? Can't I continue performing surgery with Möbius?"

“Obviously not. Mebius has more important things to do besides the fusion surgery, and since you can now perform surgery alone, it’s natural to exclude you from the duo,” Mebius said.

Moth Chaser has a lot to do right now. Although Mebius is very interested in fusion surgery, separating Chen Luo and Mebius would double the efficiency, wouldn't it?

Although doing so might lead to the death of volunteers undergoing fusion surgery experiments under Möbius's care, however...

Sometimes, if an experiment is completely injury-free, it is actually more difficult to learn from the surgery and make improvements.

In a sense, Chen Luo's resurrection card, which could guarantee the surgeon's survival, actually prevented the fusion surgery from progressing further.

Besides, it's impossible for Chen Luo to handle all the fusion surgeries by himself.

Even if Chen Luo does it three times a day, it would only amount to about 1 times in 10 years.

By then, the ashes of the previous civilization will have been scattered by the Herrscher of the End.

"Given the current available options, we will prioritize selecting serious offenders for fusion surgery, rather than soldiers from the Moth Chaser organization or recruits from the general public," Mei continued, perhaps concerned that Chen Luo might have reservations.

"Hmm, if I absolutely have to have an assistant, how about Danzhu?" Chen Luo said.

"...Are you serious?" Mei couldn't help but glance at him slightly.

"Give it a try, it doesn't cost any money."

"Then you should be prepared for Danzhu to expose the news that you, as a junior brother, committed such an atrocity against your senior sister on the internal network of Song of Fire." Mei did not reject the suggestion.

The two paparazzi known as "Moths to Fire" are no joke.

The two paparazzi are Danzhu and Erwin.

A man who only exists in the legends of the Thirteen Heroes [Reminiscence].

Chapter 833 Danzhu: I like you...

"Chen Luo! You heartless bastard! You actually made me accompany you to the fusion surgery? Do you have any heart at all? I even brought you breakfast when you were imprisoned! Is this how you repay your senior sister?" Dan Zhu's desperate voice came from the communicator.

Clearly, Danzhu probably already knows that Chen Luo will begin performing fusion surgeries independently tomorrow, and that she will be taking Danzhu with her as an assistant.

Upon hearing Danzhu's words, Chen Luo handed the communicator in his hand to the person in front of him and then gestured to her.

"Don't worry, just say it. The communicator has been processed with a voice changer, so she'll only hear my voice," Chen Luo said.

"Sigh, me?" The person sitting opposite Chen Luo was clearly incredulous.

"Why are you being so fussy, acting like a woman?" Chen Luo shoved the communicator directly into the other person's hand.

"Chen Luo, if you've got the guts, give me the assistant. If you've got the guts, then say something, or I'll go to your dorm and bite you!" Dan Zhu's voice, clearly still tinged with resentment, came through the communicator.

“Uh, well… actually, the fusion surgery isn’t a very scary surgery. If you’re just an assistant, it’ll just be wiping sweat and stuff, and you can learn another skill.” Danzhu, sitting opposite Chen Luo, said tentatively with a hesitant look on her face.

That's right, the person answering Danzhu's call now is Danzhu from 5 years in the future.

Chen Luo didn't know why he saw Cang Xuan and Dan Zhu waiting there as soon as he entered the bar. The most important thing was that before Chen Luo could say anything, a communication request from Dan Zhu of the previous civilization rang.

It can only be said that fate plays tricks on people.

Or perhaps it's just too much of a coincidence.

But since there was such a good opportunity, and it wasn't intentional, Chen Luo could only see it as fate wanting Danzhu and Danzhu to communicate.

"You're not me, how do you know if I'm scared?"

"..." Danzhu, fifty thousand years later, was speechless for a long time after hearing Danzhu's words from fifty thousand years ago.

"Say something! Do you have any other reason? If you don't, I'll go to your dorm and bite you to death, then I'll kill myself," Danzhu said with a hint of resentment.

"Danzhu, I love you..."

"Huh?!!" Danzhu's surprised and flustered voice came from the other end of the communicator.

"But, but... we've only known each other for a short time, isn't this progress a bit too fast? And competing with the Doctor for a man... isn't that a bit too difficult? Will I be drowned in the river?" Danzhu started rambling incoherently.

"..." Chen Luo sighed upon hearing Danzhu's outrageous actions.

Indeed, one should not expect Danzhu to speak any human language.

"!!!" Feeling a cold, cylindrical object pressed against her forehead, Danzhu looked up and saw Chen Luo holding the Friendship Revolver, looking at her with a cold expression.

And he was about to pull the trigger.

"Danzhu, I love your seriousness, meticulousness, and organizedness! Dear senior sister, please help me out. Think about it, I've been at the Fire Moth for so long, and besides the people in our lab, who else do I know? Suddenly I need to find an assistant, how am I supposed to know who to ask? So I can only ask my dear senior sister to cover for me for a couple of days." With the Friendship Revolver pressing against his head, Danzhu's thoughts raced, and he said in a pleading tone.

"Phew, that scared me to death. I even had the feeling that Dr. Möbius was standing right behind me. Next time, don't breathe so heavily. Alright, since you really don't seem to know anyone outside the lab, I'll be your assistant for two days." Danzhu said helplessly.

"But remember to find a replacement soon."

Danzhu's tone even sounded somewhat indulgent.

Thinking about it carefully, Chen Luo, as the youngest person in the laboratory, and whose background sounds rather tragic, certainly deserves this kind of treatment.

"Alright, that's settled. Let my future self call my past self and persuade him to listen to you. You're such a devil, junior brother." After hanging up the communicator, Danzhu said to Chen Luo in an annoyed tone.

Danzhu never expected that her visit to Chen Luo would result in her being used as a tool.

But then again, teasing your past self feels pretty good.

It's like having a revolver of friendship pointed at your forehead; it's a bit scary.

Come to think of it, there really was such a phone 5 years ago, and someone was indeed harassing me.

Is this a playful jest that transcends time and space?

"Aren't you enjoying it too? I was just curious what it would be like to have a conversation spanning 5 years, but now I realize it's not that special. After all, you're not the kind of person who's all bitter and resentful. I think it would be more fun to have Hua and Hua talk to each other." Chen Luo said, stroking his chin.

“That makes sense. I think so too. How could an optimist like me have any big worries? Hua should be the one to do this kind of thing. One is the Crimson Iris Immortal who has guarded the Divine Land for 5000 years, and the other is Hua, a clueless warrior who is now your assistant. Their conversation should be quite interesting.”

Although Danzhu has many feelings about Fu Hua's somewhat bumpy and difficult life, and is now trying his best to make amends, it is not a bad thing to let Fu Hua recall the past.

"You two are in cahoots. And Danzhu, don't forget what we're here for this time," Cangxuan sighed and reminded him.

"Oh, right, A Luo, the main reason we asked you to come here this time is to get us some identification. I heard from the Cangxuan Book that you've already gotten identification documents for Xiao Shi and Shen He." Dan Zhu moved her seat to the side and then moved next to Chen Luo.

[Ding! You have a new request!]

[Identity Documents]: Valid identity documents for Danzhu and Cangxuan.

Reward: 200 Primogems

Difficulty: 3 stars

“You’re late. I’m currently processing the identity for the Cangxuan Book. But I’ll remember your identities and process them later,” Chen Luo said.

Even without a commission, Chen Luo would still remember to handle it, since Cang Xuan and Dan Zhu had been thinking about coming to Chen Luo's world for a while.

What would a world without collapse be like? Cangxuan and Danzhu were both very curious.

Or rather, anyone living in that dire and chaotic environment would yearn for a world that hadn't collapsed.

If Chen Luo is speaking hypothetically, there is a special disease called Oripathy, which has swept across the entire continent since some unknown time, and so far there is no good cure. As a result, the entire continent of Terra is plunged into a state of dire straits because of this disease, and there is no way to see when it will end.

There will always be people who yearn for a world without this disease.

And don't forget that Honkai is extremely deadly.

The mortality rate of people who contract Honkai disease is 100%, and the infection rate is also extremely high, making it much more severe than Oripathy.

"What? The Cangxuan Book's identity certificate was processed before the two of us? You heartless bastard, I'm supposed to be your assistant tomorrow."

"To be honest, the person who was my assistant was the past you, not the present you. And if you wanted it, you should have told me in advance. If you had just said it a day earlier..." Chen Luo felt very innocent.

"Well, it's because I didn't think about it a few days ago. Well, since you've mentioned it, I'll apply for one for Fu Hua and put her in the queue in advance," Danzhu said, raising her hand.

“Me too. I’ll help Himiko get in line then,” Cangxuan said after thinking for a moment.

"..."

Chen Luo wondered if Cang Xuan and Dan Zhu would give him a double whammy if he said that these two people were actually on the list a long time ago.

Well, sometimes you have to hide your true abilities, don't you?

"No problem," Chen Luo readily agreed.

"Oh, right, you two have come at just the right time. Remember to finish these 50 repetitions of the punishment." Chen Luo looked at Cang Xuan and Dan Zhu sitting in front of him and took out a stack of papers.

"Huh? Copying lines as punishment?" Danzhu took a half step back in fright.

"May I ask, is this punishment copying for me and Danzhu, or for Danzhu?" Cangxuan asked.

"Why couldn't it be your punishment copying?" Chen Luo asked curiously.

"Because my survival instinct wouldn't allow me to make such a big mistake." Cang Xuan had plenty of confidence in his survival instinct.

“Then you guessed right, it’s Danzhu’s punishment of copying texts.” Chen Luo nodded.

“Then I’ll write it ten times at most, and the rest will go to Danzhu,” Cangxuan said after thinking for a moment.

"No, Cangxuan, can we split it in half? Please!" Danzhu pleaded, on the verge of tears.

“It’s not a big problem. Let me discuss it with my junior brother. Maybe we won’t even have to copy it 50 times. Alo, if I remember correctly, Dr. Möbius himself knows that you’re copying it for us as punishment, right?”

"Mm." Chen Luo nodded.

"Then why be so serious? You can copy it hundreds of times and the doctor won't care."

"That's because the Doctor is really angry this time. He originally said it 100 times, but then he added another 100 because he was still angry. The meaning is very clear. I'll take responsibility for 100 times, and you can take responsibility for the remaining 100 times yourselves. Danzhu from 5 years ago will take responsibility for 50 times, and the current Danzhu will take responsibility for 50 times," Chen Luo said helplessly.

"Well, there's nothing I can do then. Persuasion has failed." Cang Xuan shrugged helplessly.

“Because this was specifically requested by the doctor, it can’t be counted in the contracts we signed before. It would have been cheap enough to only have you write it 10 times. This time I really want you to write it 100 times,” Chen Luo said.

"Seriously, what kind of terrible thing did I do in the past? Even the doctor who's on your side is deliberately picking on me."

Such a thing would be unimaginable for Danzhu in the present day.

"It's hard to say, but I still have to copy it. Don't I have to write it by hand 100 times?"

"You want to write by hand too?" Danzhu was genuinely surprised this time.

"Why would I lie to you? I've written it more than a dozen times already."

"Haha. Sorry." Danzhu, who thought it was her fault, felt inexplicably guilty.

"Alright, stop laughing. Go back and copy your punishment papers. Also, are you two in a hurry for identification? If so, I'll let you cut in line," Chen Luo said.

"No rush, no rush," Tang Xuan and Dan Zhu shook their heads.

"Then I should go back and prepare for Ye Yunshang to come knocking on my door."

If Chen Luo remembered correctly, it was already past 12 o'clock, and Ye Yunshang should be getting up by now. And Ye Yunshang should also be handing over the tasks he had entrusted to her to himself.

……

"This is from Longhu Mountain. According to the list, it includes 5 top-grade spirit stones, 500 high-grade spirit stones, and a number of other grades of spirit stones. Please accept it." Ye Yunshang sat in the main seat and began distributing the spirit stone share that Longhu Mountain was entitled to from the Upper Realm, according to the list.

Seeing that Longhu Mountain had obtained such a large share of spirit stones, the other forces were drooling with envy.

Besides spirit stones, there were even some cultivation techniques and secret manuals that I didn't have time to pass on when I was urgently sent down to the mortal realm.

When the Celestial Master of Longhu Mountain saw that all these good things had actually come into his hands, he was overjoyed after comparing the list with Ye Yunshang.

These days, even the Celestial Masters don't have surplus grain.

Although spiritual energy has recovered, the production of spirit stone mines is still very hidden and the quantity is scarce.

This is the best time and the worst time.

The good thing is that the upper realm can provide assistance to the lower realm soon after the spiritual energy revival, but the bad thing is that there are also abyssal planes competing with it in the abyssal passage.

"I'll keep the Shushan ones for myself, and next up is Maoshan..." After confirming the aid items and amounts with the people from Longhushan, Ye Yunshang began announcing the names on the next list.
