It wasn't out of sympathy for the dwarf Duer, but he suddenly felt that the world seemed to be beginning to show him a completely different side.

A side he had never noticed before.

Chapter Twenty-One: Something Dirty?

Luo Tian felt that his daily life was more leisurely after changing jobs.

Although many people travel to the Star World every year, Ming City is still just a small place.

Even though the guesthouse in the suburbs of Mingcheng covers several nearby small towns, the number of transmigrators from other worlds that the guesthouse can accommodate each year is still very limited.

During the week-long job change, Luo Tian only hosted two ordinary people who had transmigrated. After staying at the guesthouse for two days, they were reassigned to other places. Their miserable experience was comparable to being crushed by a strongman and pushed to the second tower, which made Luo Tian quite distressed.

During these past few days, Luo Tian also noticed that Yin Qianyu seemed to have undergone some subtle changes.

Specifically, before each night's story time, Yin Qianyu would look at him with an extremely enthusiastic and expectant gaze.

Luo Tian knew very well that when he was playing games and drawing cards on Earth, his fervent and expectant gaze was almost identical to Yin Qianyu's.

"Am I now a gacha-playing cheat character?"

The thought that such a thing was possible inexplicably popped into Luo Tian's mind.

Moreover, during this period, Yin Qianyu listened to Luo Tian's stories no longer limited to games and movies, but even took the initiative to invite Luo Tian to tell her some science fiction stories.

She talked about utopia, dystopia, wasteland, steampunk, cyberpunk, and so on, while also occasionally offering her opinions to Luo Tian, ​​almost making him think that Yin Qianyu was preparing to start a world war and reshape this corrupt and backward world.

However, Luo Tian still hasn't figured out what Yin Qianyu is planning to do, but he feels that the possibility of reshaping the world is unlikely.

Although Luo Tian also disliked some of the disgusting things about this prosperous world, he knew very well that this was something that no single person or force could solve.

"The simplest solution would be to wait until I have the ability to fix this world in one go, and then ask Aurelion Sol to come and rebuild it."

Luo Tian rambled on to the knight as usual.

However, the only response the Cavaliers gave him was a glare.

Time passed day by day, and Luo Tian, ​​as usual, took a car to the guesthouse in the suburbs to start his daily work and slack off.

Actually, judging from the exterior of the guesthouse alone, it's quite nice.

This is a large villa with a noble manor style, with a slightly rustic decoration style but an undeniable air of nobility.

The committee sends people to clean and maintain the guesthouse every now and then, so the environment here is actually very good.

The only regret is that it's too deserted. Luo Tian and the two old gatekeepers, whose combined teeth don't even amount to a single tooth, are the only staff members in the entire guesthouse.

Three meals a day are delivered on time, but the delivery people leave in a hurry after dropping off the food, as if they are avoiding a plague.

The remote location and small number of personnel are all measures taken to prevent these extraordinary individuals, whose backgrounds are not yet fully understood, from causing any major incidents.

Previously, in the capital city of the Dayin Empire, a major battle broke out among superhumans in a guesthouse, destroying a small part of the city.

It was because of this incident that Mingcheng's guesthouse was located in the suburbs.

The taxi stopped at the entrance, causing the elderly gatekeeper to glance at Luo Tian, ​​who had gotten out with the knight, and a smile to appear in his eyes.

"Hello, Mr. Luo!"

Luo Tian nodded slightly.

Good morning, Uncle Qin.

As he spoke, Luo Tian felt a pang of unease, as if he instinctively resisted being addressed as "Uncle Qin."

This feeling had been lingering for a while now. Luo Tian had a vague feeling that it was related to the missing part of his memory, but he couldn't find any relevant information.

"It seems that next time I tell Qianyu a story, I should try to recall the relevant content and see if I can remember the story."

As Luo Tian entered the guesthouse with these thoughts in mind, the gatekeeper, Old Qin, suddenly slapped his forehead and said to him:

"By the way, Mr. Luo, Director Qin said that a transmigrator from another world will be coming to the guesthouse today to stay for a while."

This time traveler possesses certain extraordinary abilities; Mr. Luo, you must be careful!

Luo Tian's eyes lit up, and after thanking Grandpa Qin, he smiled and nodded in agreement.

Luo Tian was naturally very interested in the experience that was offered to him.

Upon entering the guesthouse, Luo Tian spent the time in the lobby reading newspapers and novels, waiting for the upcoming transmigrator.

Luo waited for almost half a day until the sun began to set before he heard footsteps outside.

"Excuse me, are you Mr. Luo?"

"Please come in."

A middle-aged man wearing brown overalls, with short blond hair and round-framed glasses, walked into the room.

The middle-aged man had a gentle smile on his face, but his demeanor seemed a little restrained. After entering the room, he kept carefully observing his surroundings, as if he was worried about something.

Sitting on the sofa, Luo Tian glanced at the middle-aged man and felt inexplicably familiar with him.

The middle-aged man walked respectfully to Luo Tian's desk and took out a file from his pocket.

Luo Tian gestured for the middle-aged man to sit down, then looked at the file in his hand.

Name: Xiu Tal

Age: 41 years old

Occupation: Alchemist

Realm: Not yet in the Transcendent Realm (Alchemists tend to focus on functionality; the value of this realm is for reference only).

......

"An alchemist!"

Luo Tian rubbed his temples, feeling a sudden twitching in his right eyelid.

He could sense that this was a powerful warning from his own instincts.

This warning doesn't seem to foreshadow danger, but rather suggests that Luo Tian has encountered something unclean.

Luo Tian slightly raised his eyelids and looked at the middle-aged man in front of him with a gentle smile. Although his face was ordinary, his smile was quite friendly and gave people a very comfortable feeling.

"Dirty thing? Could it be that there is some ancient vengeful spirit or a personal old man on him?"

It's really hard to say whether he was an unlucky person or a lucky one in some way.

Luo Tian never thought about helping others or averting disasters in this kind of situation. As someone who had been slacking off and learning from experience, he knew very well what he shouldn't get involved in.

After signing his name and stamping the document, Luo Tian pointed to the right side of the first floor.

"Room 044 on the first floor is available for immediate check-in."

You can make any requests in advance, and we will generally try to accommodate them if possible.

Upon hearing Luo Tian's words, the middle-aged man's eyes lit up.

The middle-aged man swallowed imperceptibly, a look of surprise appearing on his face.

"As Mr. Luo can see, I am an alchemist, and alchemy is my livelihood."

However, for some reason I haven't touched alchemy for a long time. I wonder if the inn can provide me with alchemical materials?

Luo Tian raised an eyebrow, took out a document from the drawer to write it down, and casually gave instructions.

"What kind of alchemical materials do you need? We certainly won't provide you with anything too precious."

On the middle-aged man's face, a mixture of greed, surprise, and hesitation mingled, like a painting by a master depicting the lives of ordinary people in the world.

On that absurd expression, Luo Tian inexplicably sensed a trace of depravity and madness.

"I have prepared the other materials. Please...please provide me with a live animal, preferably a...dog!"

"Crack!"

The pen tip that Luo Tian had raised broke, and a name suddenly popped into his mind.

"Shu Tucker".

Chapter Twenty-Two: Life is part of the cycle of reincarnation!

Shuttak, from Fullmetal Alchemist, is the source of countless childhood nightmares.

Shutak was a State Alchemist with the title of Life Alchemist and the first person to perform biotransformation.

In the world of Fullmetal Alchemist, in order to perform human transmutation, Shutak first transmuted his wife into a chimera that could understand human speech, and then transmuted his daughter Nina and his pet dog into chimeras.

The phrase "Big brother" uttered by the chimera became a childhood trauma and nightmare for countless people.

When Shutak first appeared before Luo Tian, ​​Luo Tian did not realize that this guy was the same disgusting fellow.

Because Shutak not only changed his name, but also did not reveal his title of Life-Binding Alchemist.

It wasn't until Shutak, stubborn as ever, mentioned dogs when seeking alchemical materials from Luo Tian that Luo Tian pieced together the name from fragments of his memory.

In that instant, Luo Tian felt the rage in his heart pour out along with the countless souls and wills he had devoured, and even space seemed to distort slightly under the powerful will that interfered with reality.

Shutak in front of him seemed completely unaware of this, only slightly narrowing his eyes and showing a gentle smile.

Luo Tian knew very well that all of this was just a facade. Only when Shutak truly revealed his true thoughts would people realize how extremely ugly and wicked human nature could be.

If it were merely a case of bloodthirsty nature, Luo Tian wouldn't be angry, and might not even have the mind to deal with the other party.

The problem is that Shutak's actions have far exceeded the comprehension of human morality. Even Poppy, who advocates despair and giving up, would surely bury him in the shadows if she saw this guy.

Luo Tian suddenly felt an itch in his fists.

However, after calming down a bit, Luo Tian did not rush to make a move.

He wanted to see if his heart was as corrupt as it was in the world of Fullmetal Alchemist, a world he could experience firsthand.

Luo Tian casually tossed aside the pen in his hand and scratched his head, feigning frustration.

"This pen is of really poor quality."

Then Luo Tian looked at Xiutak and asked with a calm expression:

"You only want one dog, right? I'm too lazy to write down anything else you're asking for. I'll just bring it over from the committee next time."

Shutak nodded repeatedly, his face beaming with joy.

"Thank you, Mr. Luo."

"Just a little thing."
