Their commission was suspicious.

If the employer has a bad temper, Jeanne Alter might not only not pay wages, but might also have to give the employer some compensation to make up for the emotional distress.

Although Jeanne Alter was initially quite interested in working for Chen Luo, after all, she could stab the magical girl Teriri once she had saved up enough wages.

But later Jeanne Alter realized that since she had already signed the contract of servitude, she would definitely have plenty of time in the future, so she could slowly save up her wages.

I'll save enough eventually!

Jeanne Alter just wanted to be a laid-back worker. Anyway, Chen Luo would always have plenty of things for Jeanne and Jeanne d'Arc. Now all she needed to do was give Jeanne d'Arc the young with some gifts. She could save up for a week or two and give her a nice gift.

Jeanne Alter is the kind of laid-back worker that all capitalists hate the most; she's the real deal when it comes to giving up.

Chen Luo admired Jeanne d'Arc's attitude, but when he remembered that he was the heartless capitalist, he decided to change everything.

Chen Luo isn't exactly a true capitalist, but with Jeanne d'Arc Alter acting like this, Chen Luo really sees no hope of completing Jeanne d'Arc's mission. Even if she's just a wage earner, Jeanne d'Arc Alter is still a lazy wage earner.

"Oh, by the way, just a little reminder, Jeanne d'Arc's salary is now higher than yours," Chen Luo suddenly said to Jeanne d'Arc Alter.

"What?" Jeanne Alter sat up straight instantly.

This was one of the new rules that Chen Luo was forced to add later, and it was also due to Joan of Arc's cooperation.

Joan of Arc offered to work as well, and then earn a wage to buy gifts for Jeanne d'Arc (Black).

Although she didn't say it, Jeanne Alter's mood visibly improved, and she seemed quite satisfied with the care shown to Jeanne d'Arc.

Even though Jeanne Alter was saying, "Who needs your gifts? You need to understand, I'm willing to support you not because I like you, but because I have no choice."

So Chen Luo made two watches and gave one to Black Joan of Arc and the other to Little Joan of Arc.

The watch can display the current accumulated wages of Jeanne Alter and Jeanne d'Arc Jr.

After Jeanne Alter and Jeanne d'Arc I, Jeanne d'Arc II, earned their wages, they could not spend them on themselves, but only on each other.

"No way, no way, Joan of Arc, you can't even compare to yourself as a child? It's one thing to be less mature than you were as a child, but now even your salary after starting work is lower than your childhood salary, you..." Chen Luo looked at Black Joan of Arc, hesitating to speak.

Jeanne Alter could not tolerate Chen Luo's words at all.

"How could Jeanne d'Arc make money so fast?" Black Jeanne d'Arc couldn't help but look at Jeanne d'Arc, and saw Abby operating something on Jeanne d'Arc's watch wrist.

When Jeanne Alter looked down, she saw Jeanne d'Arc's rapidly increasing salary.

To motivate Jeanne Alter, Chen Luo specially added a salary comparison function to the watch.

“He cheated!” Jeanne Alter exclaimed.

“This isn’t cheating, it’s tipping. Joan of Arc’s job is different from yours. Your job is to help me, while Joan of Arc’s job is to play with Abby. So Abby is entitled to tip Joan of Arc, and there’s no limit,” Chen Luo explained.

Joan of Arc's job was indeed to keep Abby company, since there were so many people in the bar, but Abby had very few companions.

Unlike Chen Luo, Abby doesn't have much rest time during the day and is always busy, so Abby must get bored sometimes.

"Then why can't I receive tips?"

"Because only I can give you a reward, but you still want a reward with this work attitude and efficiency? By the way, the rate at which you and Joan of Arc's regular salary increases are determined by the rate at which Abby and I are satisfied with you two."

Chen Luo tapped on the empty table in front of Mebius, his meaning clear.

"This……"

Jeanne Alter was aware that her work attitude was not very serious, but she had no intention of changing it.

"Friendly reminder, Joan of Arc's salary is now 10 times yours. Joan of Arc, you're not planning to be supported by your younger self, are you? So you can live a life of luxury while little Joan of Arc suffers from hunger and poverty?" Chen Luo's tone was filled with surprise, incomprehension, disbelief, and a hint of contempt...

"You just wait. It's just work, it's about satisfaction, it's about being considerate."

"Master, is there anything you need?" Jeanne Alter took a deep breath, reopened her eyes, and forced a smile as she asked Chen Luo.

"Get some pastries for Mebius, make sure they look delicious," Chen Luo repeated.

"Yes, Master, please wait a moment." Jeanne Alter turned and left.

"Are you toying with her?" Möbius said calmly, watching Jeanne Alter's departing figure.

"No, I just took on a mission to give her more motivation in life," Chen Luo shook his head.

The methods Chen Luo is currently using will be completely useless if they encounter someone with a low moral standard. On the contrary, that person will be quite happy, since wouldn't it be better to reap the benefits without sowing?

Others work hard, and the salary is theirs... What a wonderful idea! Others can only dream of it.

But Jeanne Alter clearly couldn't accept these things.

"Clumsy and adorable" is probably a label that Jeanne d'Arc Alter can never shake off.

Jeanne Alter's strong competitive spirit, stemming from her tsundere nature, also prevented her from being inferior to Jeanne d'Arc in terms of making money, and she then comfortably enjoyed the fruits of Jeanne d'Arc's hard work.

Perhaps Jeanne Alter now has a new understanding of involution.

As for whether Jeanne Alter surpasses Jeanne d'Arc?

Seeing how satisfied Abby was with her new friend, and the little hand that kept tipping her on her watch, Chen Luo knew that this was probably never going to happen.

Chapter 1032 Möbius: Didn't we become lovers a long time ago?

"Did Dr. Mebius and Dr. Lowe fail to complete the fusion surgery even after working together?" Upon hearing the news of the failed surgery, the people waiting outside the operating room were both surprised and disappointed.

The maturation of a technology is often not easy. Although the theory of fusion surgery was proposed a long time ago, the first practical application was on Kevin, and it has only been about two months since Kevin became a fusion warrior.

During this period of practice, although the technology has become increasingly capable of forming a complete technology chain, the success rate is still frighteningly low.

"The success rate of fusion surgery is very low, but whether it will succeed at all is practically impossible. They are inherently incapable of success unless they are incredibly lucky enough to have three meteorites hit them simultaneously. Otherwise, no matter who comes, it's impossible for them to successfully become fusion warriors," Mebius said calmly.

Kevin, the first fusion warrior, was able to succeed because he was Kevin.

The man who, through his own efforts and training, became a soldier at the pinnacle of humanity.

Before becoming a fusion warrior, Kevin, with the body of an ordinary person, was able to score higher than Alicia in training matches. Although this does not necessarily mean that Kevin was stronger than Alicia at the time, it was still a terrifying thing.

The second successful person is Alicia, but to be honest, it's hard to say whether Alicia is a fusion warrior now.

The third successful person was Möbius, and the fourth successful person was Sakura.

At this stage, those who can become Fusion Warriors either have enough strength or enough luck to find the Honkai Beast gene that best matches them and pray that they don't encounter a quack doctor.

Especially in the early stages, those who could become fusion warriors through an immature fusion surgery were one in a million.

They are all fusion warriors who can earn a reputation for heroism in the later stages... provided they can survive to the end.

"Such unprofessional words coming from your mouth make me doubt whether you are qualified to be a medical graduate student. Should we discuss with Dr. Mei about strengthening the review of personnel's professional knowledge?" Möbius's casual remark scared away the doctor who wanted to know where the problem lay.

"I'm so envious. He's even a graduate student..." Chen Luo looked at the white coat running away with some envy.

Education in China is already a relatively fair process, and the recognition of academic qualifications is particularly evident here. Even a graduate student from a slightly less prestigious university is still a graduate student.

"To be able to get into Moth of Fire during graduate school is quite a feat, but none of that matters. He made me miss lunch."

That's why Mebius scared the researcher.

If that person knew Möbius well enough, they would know that Möbius was a person who had no interest in most things except for research.

Let alone discussing academic qualifications with Dr. May, Möbius wouldn't even bother to have a chat with Dr. May in his office if it wasn't for research purposes.

"What do you want for lunch? I'll feed you." Chen Luo and Mebius walked together towards the cafeteria.

“No need.” Mebius glanced at Chen Luo, his disdain quite obvious.

"emmm..."

"Speaking of which, when I watched Cangxuan and Danzhu perform the fusion surgery today, they seemed quite skilled. Shouldn't we give them more training?" Mebius began to ponder.

Chen Luo thought that Mebius thought this way probably because if Cangxuan and Danzhu were nurtured, they would be able to help Chen Luo and Mebius more in 5 years, giving them more time to rest.

They completely treated Cangxuan and Danzhu as mere tools.

"Both of them are very qualified, you can see that, otherwise how could they have gotten into your biology lab? But they don't seem to be interested in working overtime."

What researcher doesn't work overtime?

What professional researcher doesn't work overtime?

"In that case, how about we borrow your involution system? It just so happens that Cangxuan and Danzhu are sisters, just like Joan of Arc and Little Joan of Arc..."

"No, I've already paid a heavy price by having those two perform the fusion surgery for me. If they knew that the involution system that might appear in the future originated from me, they would eat me alive." Chen Luo quickly shook his head.

“Then we’ll discuss it again. But I’m curious to know, besides the women I’ve met who have been to the bar, what other women have you been seeing behind my back? Hmm, pretty women.” Möbius added a special note at the end.

"What do you mean by 'behind your back'? Can't this matter be left alone? I didn't hide anything from anyone when I was live-streaming about the First Singularity yesterday... Oh, right, it was morning when I was live-streaming, and you weren't there." Chen Luo felt quite wronged.

“Answer my question.”

"...There's probably only one, right? Have you heard of Esdeath? I got an identity document in another world, and Esdeath is the elder sister of that identity. This identity was arranged by the world itself, not something I specifically requested," Chen Luo emphasized.

Why emphasize this? Maybe it's because they feel guilty?

"Understood." Möbius nodded, his expression unreadable.

"Hello, Dr. Möbius." Möbius and Chen Luo were walking down the street when, surprisingly, someone dared to greet Möbius.

They're probably tired of living...

"Hmm." Möbius nodded slightly.

"Hello, are you a friend of Möbius? It's a pleasure to meet you. Come find me anytime you want to have the fusion surgery, and I'll make a special arrangement for you." Chen Luo was quite moved to see that someone was willing to take the initiative to greet Möbius, and immediately made a promise.

Since it's Cangxuan Danzhu and the other two who will be performing the fusion surgery, any promises will suffice.

"No, no need. Besides, Dr. Möbius and I aren't exactly good friends. We've only had some joint research experience." The female researcher quickly shook her head.

What a social genius! Greeting someone and giving them a gift—a fusion surgery slot?

But it sounds kind of tempting.

After all, the person in front of them was the doctor who could guarantee that the patient wouldn't die if the fusion surgery failed.

"You must be Luo, Dr. Möbius's boyfriend, right? I've seen your photo on the intranet, but I've never met you in person. Nice to meet you." The female researcher extended her hand to Chen Luo.

"That's because I usually stay home a lot, only in the mornings... wait, you might have misunderstood something, I'm not Dr. Möbius's boyfriend." Chen Luo realized a fatal problem halfway through his polite conversation.

He's probably another person who believed rumors like "Chen Luo was Mebius's childhood sweetheart."

Seriously, is this rumor really that credible?

"Ah, I'm sorry. It's because people on the intranet often say that Dr. Luo and Dr. Mebius are frequently seen together, and that they live in adjacent dormitories with a passageway connecting them... so I misunderstood."

“Wait, isn’t that right?” Möbius frowned.

"Not what?" Chen Luo was taken aback.

"A couple."

"??? Us?" Chen Luo was shocked.

A leaf obscuring the view... Oh, it seems that Xiaoshi is still at Eientei, so there's no need to be blinded by a leaf.

But Chen Luo was so stunned by Mebius that he couldn't speak.

"Could it be that I've misunderstood?" Mebius's voice held a hint of doubt.

"Or are you saying you're unwilling?"

"It's not that I'm unwilling... but how come I didn't know we were a couple? When did this happen?"

Chen Luo originally thought he was familiar enough with Möbius, but now it seems he might not be familiar enough.

As for whether Chen Luo had this idea... could Chen Luo say no?

If Chen Luo didn't like Möbius, he must have lost his mind to let Möbius sleep with his head on his lap all morning.

It was both tingling and numb, and I couldn't move. Only Chen Luo, with his power as a Law Enforcer, could have endured it.

But Chen Luozhen didn't know when Mebius had this idea.

“From, from…” Mebius suddenly realized that he didn’t seem to know when it started.

"Oh, right, it all started with that kiss in the lounge."

A leaf obscuring the view... Oh, no need for obscuring.

Chen Luo and Mebius were trying to figure out whether they were in a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship and when it started, while the female researcher on the other side remained where she was.

What's going on with these two?

Or should we say, "As expected of Mebius"?

Or are neither of these two people quite normal?
