Their commission was suspicious.

“But there are emergency food supplies in the biological laboratory,” Möbius said.

"Koro said that there aren't that many experiments in the world that can't be delayed. I think that's very true."

Kevin knew he couldn't win an argument with Möbius, so bringing up Chen Luo to persuade him was the best solution at the moment.

“…” Mebius was speechless.

"Okay, anyway, eating emergency food is definitely not good for your health. But speaking of which, where's your husband? Why isn't he eating in the cafeteria?" Mei asked curiously.

If Mei is not mistaken, Chen Luo should have been next to Möbius when he called Kevin.

Why don't we have lunch together?

"Him? His cooking is much better than the cafeteria's, so don't worry about him."

If others don't understand Chen Luo, how could Mebius not understand him?

After making the Oath of Judah, Chen Luo was completely pampered, with everything done for him. There was no need for me to worry about what he would eat for lunch.

"That's true, but has Luo ever tried making lunch for you? Like a love lunch or something? I feel like Luo wouldn't mind doing these things."

Mei had no doubt that Chen Luo was a good cook, after all, she had actually eaten Chen Luo's cooking.

“I have to do an experiment soon, so eating fast food in the cafeteria is the least time-consuming option I can tolerate. Lo knows that too,” Möbius replied.

"Besides, Luo just had surgery, and it would be too much to ask him to make lunch himself now. But we don't have a special lunch, though we have had a special breakfast."

"..." Kevin fell into thought after hearing Mebius's words.

Should I follow Chen Luo's example and make breakfast for Mei?

But... will people die?

Kevin was fairly aware of his and May's cooking abilities.

"!!!" Desdobia, who was eating lunch quietly on the side, was not quite understanding, but she was greatly shocked.

It's no secret that Kevin and May are a couple in The Moth.

Kevin joined the Firemoth just to be with May, which is why the Firemoth gained another soldier standing at the pinnacle of humanity.

While this wasn't common knowledge among the Firemoths, Desdobia certainly knew about it.

However, the relationship between Mebius and Lo became somewhat ambiguous in the words of the three people in front of them...

Add to that Chen Luo's tough stance at the entrance of the operations department and Dr. Möbius's unusual show of yielding...

Is the rumor true?

But if Desdovia remembers correctly, the Fire Moths of Lora didn't last very long, right?

But a lovingly prepared breakfast doesn't sound like something an ordinary assistant would make for the doctor.

"Alright, lunch's finished, time to go. We have a lot to do this afternoon, so let's finish the experiments early; there's other stuff to do too," Möbius said, standing up.

"..." Desdovia glanced at her lunch, which she had barely eaten due to her shock, and then quickly began stuffing it into her mouth.

Curiosity may not kill the cat, but it may starve it.

……

"How does it feel to be managed?" May asked Möbius as they walked toward the laboratory.

“Troublesome,” Mebius said casually.

"Then let me ask you a different question. How does it feel to be cared for?" Seeing the stubborn Möbius, Möbius decided to change his approach.

“As a fellow researcher, he’s not easily fooled. Perhaps I shouldn’t have taught him too much about biotechnology,” Möbius said after a moment of silence.

“Mebius, you should know what I mean.”

May admitted that Möbius was very good at changing the subject, and May was also quite curious about Chen Luo's level.

But it's no use! That's not the point right now!

“…Not bad.” After saying that, Möbius unconsciously quickened his pace toward the laboratory.

Chapter 931 Aponia's Forced Corruption

"Is this the ring you carved? Aponia, your craftsmanship is quite impressive," Chen Luo said, looking at the ring in his hand.

"Thank you! I will keep this ring safe."

After Chen Luo asked Cang Xuan for the character card, they parted ways.

Chen Luo didn't know what Cang Xuan was doing, but Chen Luo went back to his dormitory.

At that time, they were still missing a Kevin character card to complete Danzhu's mission. However, Chen Luo didn't need to find it himself; he simply sent Kevin a message and got the character card.

Having completed his mission, Chen Luo was about to return to the spiritual world when he encountered Aponia on his way back to his dormitory.

Upon seeing Chen Luo, Aponia took out a ring that she had prepared beforehand and handed it to him.

“I’m glad you like it. The power of discipline is too dangerous and too powerful. To remind me not to use it recklessly, I’ve decided to give a ring to everyone I’ve placed a discipline on. And you, as the first person to sense this power, should be the first to receive this ring.” Aponia smiled gently.

Aponia even borrowed some money from Alicia because of this.

There aren't many places in Firemoth where money is used, except for the outsider Aponia.

"It's really impressive that you have this kind of awareness. After all, if an ordinary person had the ability to control others like you, their first reaction would definitely be to use this ability to do whatever they want."

Chen Luo has always thought that people with self-control are really amazing.

For example, people who successfully lose weight.

And those who hoard Primogems and refuse to use them for any gacha pulls.

After glancing at his existing raw stones, Chen Luo gave himself a big thumbs up.

Ah, so I am the kind of person who has self-control.

I'm so amazing!

It wasn't that Chen Luo didn't want to spend the raw stones, but rather that he had too many places where he could spend them. If he opened a hole, he was certain that all 3+ raw stones would be gone within an hour.

"Thank you for the compliment." After responding to Chen Luo's praise, Aponia continued to stare blankly at Chen Luo.

Aponia desperately wanted to glean something from the bright red line of fate that ran across Chen Luo's body.

"...Would you like to come sit in my dorm?" Chen Luo invited Aponia, who clearly wasn't letting him off the hook.

“Okay.” Aponia nodded readily.

Seeing Aponia enjoying herself so much, Chen Luo felt a pang of regret.

Dear Aponia, how long do you plan to stay in my dorm?

Although he had such doubts, since Chen Luo had invited her and she had accepted the invitation, he couldn't very well tell Aponia that he had something to do and therefore didn't plan to invite her into his dorm, could he?

Moreover, Chen Luo has been looking for an opportunity to confront Aponia, and this timing seems to be quite good.

If Chen Luo had revealed his identity in the previous civilization, the culprit would definitely be one of the following four people.

Aponia, Sue, May, and Vervière.

Mei is the only one among the four who is simply too smart.

The other three psychic fusion warriors each have their own unique characteristics to varying degrees.

Aponia can see the fates of others, and Sue can deduce the cause and effect of an event through her keen insight—a truly terrifying ability.

Velvi? She's just here to make up the numbers.

However, for a genius like Vervie, discovering Chen Luo's true identity wasn't so unbelievable.

As for Prometheus, the super artificial intelligence that oversaw the entire pre-civilization?

Dear Prometheus, now that you have taken over my summoning of the Seven Saints, you must obey my orders from now on.

If Prometheus wants to successfully take over the Seven Sages summoned by Chen Luo through a lottery, he will ultimately have to pay a price.

Although Chen Luo didn't know much about electronics, he was still a Herrscher of Corruption.

Prometheus was strong, but not strong enough!

Chen Luo didn't do much to the Seven Saints' Summoning, but he didn't mind using this little trick to make Prometheus ignore the irrationality of his behavior.

However, compared to the mental perception type fusion warriors, Chen Luo still preferred Qian Jie and the others.

Although Qianjie likes fighting, he doesn't like using his brain.

Chen Luo will try to be as cautious as possible with Dr. Mei, but Dr. Mei is just an ordinary person, so there is no need to be too nervous.

Su hasn't joined the Fire Moth yet. Even if she did, she would still be an ordinary person for now, so there's no need to worry about her.

But now that Aponia has identified Chen Luo as an extremely special chosen one, persuading her is an urgent task.

Coincidentally, Chen Luo had several cards in his hand that could be considered a royal flush for Aponia.

Chen Luo was helpless and desperate, but it wasn't his fault that his fate was so conspicuous.

While thinking about this, Chen Luo dodged to the side, avoiding Aponia's hand reaching for his red thread.

"Don't move around," Chen Luo said irritably.

“Oh.” Aponia lowered her head, like a primary school student caught fidgeting in class.

However, Chen Luo's almost blatant claim that he could see the "red line" made Aponia's curiosity, which had been gradually calming down, surge even more intensely.

Can Chen Luo really see the lines he sees?

Aponia was filled with trepidation.

The thrill of finding a kindred spirit among countless oddities is indescribable.

Aponia, who is currently feeling lost about her abilities, is even more eager to find someone to help her prove them.

After discovering Chen Luo, the chosen one, Aponia, who was already paying attention to Chen Luo, became even more interested in watching his every move.

Why is it that only Chen Luo's silk thread is this bright red thread?

Why does Chen Luosi exist in a way that is different from others?

Why is it that Chen Luo's silk thread ends in his own hand, while everyone else's silk thread is broken?

Why does Chen Luo seem to be able to sense my desire to touch his threads?

These questions that touched the depths of Aponia's heart aroused her curiosity, and she couldn't help but want to explore them. So much so that Aponia herself didn't even know when she had followed Chen Luo into his dormitory and sat opposite him.

Once Aponia came to her senses, she suppressed the surprise on her face and quietly looked at Chen Luo.

"You seem to have a lot of questions, don't you?"

The delicate aroma of tea filled the entire room as Chen Luo poured the teapot.

“Yes.” Aponia nodded without hesitation.

Aponia was indeed very curious about this.

However, Aponia was not quite sure whether the question Chen Luo raised was the same one she had in her heart.

"Have a taste of this tea first. We can talk about anything after we finish our tea," Chen Luo said.

Aponia picked up her teacup and drank the tea in one gulp.

"...Who drinks tea like that? Aren't you afraid of burning yourself?" Chen Luo said with a dark face.

"I haven't drunk much tea; I prefer alcohol," Aponia said obediently after putting down her teacup.

As for the heat? Fusion warriors are fearless!

"Aponia, do you like to drink?" Chen Luo asked, somewhat surprised.

Chen Luo originally thought that someone with Aponia's temperament shouldn't drink alcohol.

But then Chen Luo thought about it again, and realized that Aponia seemed to have drunk quite a bit at the bar.

"I don't really like it, but it's drinkable."

"Now that we've finished our tea, may we talk about something?" Aponia asked impatiently.

"Alright, go ahead and ask." Chen Luo nodded helplessly.

Chen Luo originally planned to act like a hermit, hoping to change Aponia's mindset, and then use that as an opportunity to delve into some of the conversation topics that Aponia cared about.

While pretending to be a reclusive sage might seem useless, it could potentially boost the [Persuasion] skill.
