Their commission was suspicious.

“If you feel it’s too abrupt, we can break up first,” Mebius suggested.

"No way, I didn't say I didn't want to. If I get dumped before I even confess, wouldn't that be awful?" Chen Luo isn't stupid; how could he possibly agree to Möbius's suggestion?

"And this is also your fault. What kind of girlfriend are you? A girlfriend who can only see you at noon and in the evening?"

"busy."

"So when I talk to other girls, you don't stop me?"

That's the biggest problem.

Chen Luo was somewhat self-aware, or rather, somewhat self-aware of his bar.

More than 80% of the customers in the bar are women, and Chen Luo has to deal with bar customers frequently because he takes on commissions.

Whether it's due to his unfortunate love life or not, a large proportion of the new customers at the bar are women, resulting in an unimaginable, even suffocating, number of women surrounding Chen Luo.

But Mebius didn't seem to show any unusual feelings about this. Whenever he had free time, he would sit quietly and watch Chen Luo go around making various wishes.

It was precisely because of Mebius's nonchalance that Chen Luo was completely unaware.

Chen Luo originally thought that if he established a special relationship with Mebius, he would be strictly controlled.

After all, it's Mebius...

"Speaking of which, should I stay away from other women, like Alicia and the others?" Chen Luo muttered.

“No need. You have your career, I have mine. You just need to provide me with emotional support.” Möbius shook his head.

Just as Mebius knew that it would be very difficult for Chen Luo to give up the path of evolution, he also knew that it would be very difficult and not beneficial for Chen Luo to give up earning primal stones.

It's okay to sacrifice some things for your job, your wishes, and your dreams.

Mebius sacrificed time and the possibility of future failures in new experiments.

Chen Luo, on the other hand, devoted a great deal of time and energy to it.

"Only providing emotional value?" Chen Luo looked at Mebius with surprise.

Chen Luo always felt that Möbius's views on love seemed to be different from those of normal people.

"I don't want children right now. I'll think about it after the collapse ends. Then I can commit suicide to reach a suitable age for having children..."

"No, there's no need for that. I mean, is my only role to provide emotional value?" Chen Luo quickly shook his head.

“Isn’t that the greatest function of lovers?” Mebius retorted.

Perhaps in Möbius's simple values, the concepts of lovers, partners, and even legally married couples are quite different from what most people understand.

However, Chen Luo always felt that Mebius's attitude towards him was different from that of the memory body Mebius. This was not in terms of favorability, but in terms of how Chen Luo interacted with others.

"You two continue your conversation, I'll be going now." Sensing that what was about to happen was not something she could hear, the female researcher quickly took her leave.

Chen Luo bid the other party amicably and asked them not to reveal certain things that shouldn't be said.

"Speaking of which... how about I make a memory for you in advance, and then let her stay in the previous civilization while you move to my world? I can get you an identity document."

“…I think I understand why my memories are so hostile towards me,” Möbius said, stroking his chin.

Inheriting Mebius's memories and emotions, yet forced to work in the previous civilization in Mebius's place, watching Chen Luo and the original Mebius go on their honeymoon...

If Chen Luozhen were to do something like that, it would be strange if the memory entity Mebius didn't feel resentful.

"……so?"

“No need. I need to continue my research in the previous civilization.” Möbius rejected the proposal.

"That's why I said you only need to provide me with emotional value. You don't need to be there for me, I have Klein."

"...Generally speaking, Klein has indeed spent more time with you than I have." Because Chen Luo was wandering around, he didn't have much time to spend with Möbius.

Chen Luo didn't even spend a single full afternoon in the previous civilization.

"Um...can we hold hands?" Chen Luo asked tentatively.

"can."

"Phew..." Chen Luo looked around nervously, and after making sure no one was around, he moved closer to Mebius and took his hand.

Mebius acted quite naturally, as if it were a matter of course.

“We’re not in a relationship like May and Kevin, where we can do anything lovers would do. If you need me, you can come to my room tonight, but I often work late, so the chances might be fewer. And if we really do want to do it, we should be careful to avoid it…”

"Stop! It's not appropriate to say this here." Chen Luo felt a little embarrassed to hear Mebius talking about these things in public, luckily no one was around.

"Is there a problem? Reproduction is simply a social behavior of human beings."

"I thought you might hate children..."

“No, it’s not that I hate it…” When the topic came up, Möbius suddenly fell into memories.

Even Möbius still has feelings for his parents. Möbius is not absolutely heartless. For example, he still wears the earring (an heirloom) left to him by his mother.

“Don’t forget my research area is biological genetics. So I’m not averse to these things, I just think they’re inefficient. I just… don’t want my child to be born into such a morbid world.” Möbius sighed.

Mebius's own family background was a tragedy... calling it a tragedy might be an exaggeration, but it wasn't pleasant either.

"Oh, right, there's something I forgot to tell you," Chen Luo suddenly said.

"What is it?" Mebius frowned.

"I'm only 17 years old this year, not even 18 yet."

"so?"

"Mebius, do you know what you've done? You've broken the law!"

“...But in this world, your fake identity is already over 18 years old. So I haven’t broken the law,” Möbius denied.

Chapter 1033 Stop it, Chen Luo, there are bad women outside!

"Hmm? Lolo, I rarely see you looking so gloomy. What's wrong today? What happened? Tell me what's wrong, so I can make fun of you." When Alicia brought her lunch to Chen Luo's side, she saw Chen Luo looking worried.

"It's nothing." Chen Luo shook his head.

"That's a lie."

"That's right, I was just lying to you. I was afraid you would laugh at me if I told you the truth."

"Oh, you admitted it so readily! Don't worry, tell me. Alicia never makes fun of people." Alicia was genuinely curious.

"I won't tell you." Chen Luo shook his head again.

Okay, Chen Luo was actually thinking about Möbius's age.

Chen Luo wasn't referring to how old Möbius was. Although Möbius might be approaching 30 (twenty-six, twenty-seven, twenty-eight...), his biological age is probably only twenty-three or twenty-four, because he's already died several times.

But Chen Luo thought to himself, even if she was twenty-three or twenty-four, she looked older than him.

Can my parents really accept that my girlfriend is more than 5 years older than me?

Chen Luo began to think about this problem.

After the initial surprise at suddenly having a girlfriend, Chen Luo quickly regained his composure, as if he had quickly entered into the state of an old married couple.

Mebius is now a Fusion Warrior; as long as she doesn't do anything reckless, she should be able to live for at least 10,000 years.

Chen Luo is now the River God, and even if he does something reckless, he can live for 5 years.

There's nothing to scrutinize about this relationship; it just naturally developed from a point of mutual attraction.

If this relationship were to be announced suddenly, Chen Luo would need to carefully consider how to treat female customers at the bar after becoming Mebius's boyfriend.

However, after learning that Mebius had been treating him like a boyfriend for some time and hadn't cared about him, Chen Luo realized that he just needed to keep up with his original pace.

As for the advancement of his relationship with Möbius, or even the advancement of his physical relationship... Chen Luo probably shared the same thought as Möbius—he had the idea, but no strong impulse.

Chen Luo suspected that Möbius's interest in this area was definitely not as great as his interest in studying Chen Luo's body.

Even if Chen Luo were to lie in bed completely clean, Mebius would probably still be thinking about how to get Chen Luo onto the operating table without letting Chen Luo resist.

As for Chen Luo's attitude in this regard... Chen Luo enjoys the atmosphere of being in a relationship even more.

More importantly, although in Mebius's perception, Chen Luo and Mebius had been a couple for some time, Chen Luo had only just found out about it.

Chen Luo needs some time to calm down.

"You're so stingy. Fine, don't tell me then. But where's Hua? Why isn't Hua with you? That's unusual." Alicia wasn't very interested in Chen Luo's annoyances, but she was quite surprised by this matter.

Hua has been very dedicated to her job ever since she became Chen Luo's assistant.

"Oh, that? Hua lost her job today," Chen Luocheng said with little interest.

Even for a Herald of Consciousness who can completely control and restrain his consciousness and desires, today's events were too much of a shock to Chen Luo.

Therefore, Chen Luo is currently not interested in anything.

"what?"

“Because I performed the fusion surgery with Möbius today, with Möbius present, Hua, this armed bodyguard, is dispensable,” Chen Luo replied.

Although Möbius always claims to be a researcher, those who know, know...

Even if Mebius were not a psycho-sensory fusion warrior, he would still be extremely effective against enemy teams composed of individuals.

Or perhaps it's more accurate to say that the psychic-sensory fusion warriors were originally designed to fight against humans; each one is a god-tier warrior in civil war.

Even Sue, a psychic-sensory fusion warrior who could probably hold his own against almost anyone, didn't go to Earth for the final battle. Instead, he stayed on Earth to defend. It was Mebius, the researcher who was "powerless," who personally went to the lunar battlefield.

"So Hua got a day off today, but when I announced it to him, he didn't seem very interested and went to the training ground. I don't know what he's doing now."

"Lolo, even if you're still young, can you please not be so oblivious when it comes to girls? Hua is clearly feeling guilty because she hasn't fulfilled her only responsibility and duty, and she's trying her best to improve herself. If this continues, it's not impossible for Hua to personally say to you, 'Coach, I want to become a Fusion Warrior.'"

Alicia gave Chen Luo a reproachful look.

In Alicia's view, hurting a beautiful girl, especially one who cares about her, is a grave sin.

"Isn't this a good thing? If Hua asks to become a fusion warrior, I certainly won't refuse to help her with the fusion surgery. Moreover, becoming a fusion warrior in this broken world will give her the ability to protect herself, just like Mebius. I rarely worry about her safety," Chen Luo said.

Of course, Chen Luo wouldn't make Hua a fusion warrior right now, but if Hua begged him very much, Chen Luo would definitely succumb to the temptation of the Primal Stone and perform a fusion surgery on her, but it probably wouldn't be successful...

“You said it yourself, you just rarely worry about Mebius’s safety, it’s not like you never worry at all. Even if he becomes a Fusion Warrior, he’s not safe in this world.”

"And you seem to have forgotten something. If Hua really becomes a fusion warrior, then Hua can no longer be your assistant. Given the current scarcity of fusion warriors, each fusion warrior will be assigned to a more suitable position, except for logistics personnel like the mental perception type fusion warriors." Alicia rolled her eyes at Chen Luo.

At least from the perspective of the current Firemoth, the role of the psycho-sensory fusion warriors is to serve as logistical personnel. It was not until the appearance of the Eighth Herrscher, the Herrscher of Consciousness, that the Firemoth leadership gradually realized the value of psycho-sensory fusion warriors.

"Is letting Hua decide for herself between becoming a fusion warrior and becoming your assistant your way of caring for people? Then your way of caring for people is too cruel, isn't it? So do as I say, go and comfort Hua after lunch, and don't do things that make people lose the meaning of life in the future." Alicia patted Chen Luo on the shoulder.

"Even if Mebius can indeed take over Hua's responsibility for protecting your safety, you can't give Hua a break. That would be a huge blow to someone who has his own goals to strive for."

When Hua was ostracized by everyone because of her identity as a "witch's companion," it was Chen Luo who specifically asked Hua to be his assistant, and Hua worked very hard to protect Chen Luo's safety...

For now, protecting Chen Luo is Hua's only objective.

Hua's journey to becoming a soldier of the Moth of Fire was somewhat muddled. Hua herself did not have the awareness to fight continuously as a warrior; she was merely assigned tasks and rarely put her heart and soul into anything so willingly.

“That’s true, but I feel you don’t understand Hua well enough, at least not as well as I do. Even if Hua has such thoughts, he’s not feeling down right now; he’s working hard to improve himself,” Chen Luo said.

"Do you believe that Hua might still be in the training room right now?"

"Even so, you still need to have a proper talk with Hua later." Alicia persisted, finding Chen Luo's reasoning quite reasonable.

[Ding! You have a new request!]

"..." Upon seeing this request, Chen Luo subconsciously looked at Möbius.

“Don’t look at me, you really should go. And you really want to go, don’t you?” Möbius said without looking up.

"Aren't you angry?"

Before Chen Luo knew, he was very good at handling commissions. Now that he knows he has become Möbius's boyfriend without even realizing it, Chen Luo has become very cautious.

"There's nothing to be angry about, it's your job."

Finding that the anti-fraud 108 method in his arms was unresponsive, Chen Luo breathed a sigh of relief, confirming that Möbius was telling the truth.

But the main point is that there's "nothing to be angry about," or is it "work" again?

"Lolo, why are you being so cautious today? Did you offend Mebius this morning?" Alicia asked curiously.

"No, but it's more serious than you think," Chen Luo sighed.

Today was a magical day for Chen Luo. Although it wasn't quite like becoming a father unexpectedly, it was almost the same.
