Their commission was suspicious.

Even if the Sea of ​​Quanta can help Chen Luo, that help is limited. It can't just give you whatever you want, can it?

Chen Luo isn't Quantum Ocean's favorite son.

As Chen Luo was thinking this, he suddenly felt a pain on the back of his right hand.

Chen Luo, who was leaning against the door, was suddenly pulled. Caught off guard, he stumbled and his right hand, which had been burned, was pulled out of the bar and placed in the Quantum Sea.

Immediately afterwards, Chen Luo felt as if something had been taken away from him by some being.

Chen Luo was a little confused and didn't know what had happened.

Has the Quantum Ocean manifested itself? Or is it angry?

Chen Luo couldn't help but look at the quantum holy mark on the back of his right hand.

[You're now a qualified darling of the Quantum Sea. Learn to use your prime years to attract its attention with loud crying. By the way, it seems 12 strands of your Root Essence were taken from you.]

"???"

So, the way Quantum Sea shows its favor is by opening a wish exchange shop?

Chapter 1055 Chen Luo: Take off this white coat, I can fight even better than Kevin!

Time: Noon

Location: Canteen

"Alice, don't forget Kevin's birthday the day after tomorrow," Chen Luo suddenly said while eating lunch.

After Cangxuan and Danzhu completed their fusion surgery, Chen Luo also had twelve strands of his Root Aura "snatched" away by the Quantum Sea. Although he didn't know what had happened or whether Xier would appear in three days, Chen Luo should be able to make an appearance in the previous civilization.

Alicia led Aponia to sit opposite Chen Luo with practiced ease, greeted him, and then began to eat.

But Chen Luo keenly sensed that Alicia seemed to want to say something to him, which is why he said the above.

"?!?!" Alicia's mouth dropped open onto the dining table.

Chen Luo's shamelessness once again exceeded Alicia's expectations.

"you you you……"

"Don't worry, since I reminded you, I certainly won't forget. Do you think everyone is as careless as you?" Chen Luo looked at Alicia with affection, as if he were looking at his little scatterbrain.

"I I I..."

"Don't worry, I know you didn't forget on purpose, and I definitely won't bring it up with Kevin." Chen Luo reassured Alicia not to worry too much.

"I've never seen such a shameless person. How could I possibly forget Kevin's birthday? It's clearly you who's been forgetting, isn't it?" Alicia looked at Chen Luo in disbelief.

"You can't say that. I was the one who asked you first." Chen Luo waved his hand casually.

"Wow, Lolo, I've discovered that as long as I'm friends with you, I'll never have to worry about low blood pressure." Even though Alicia is known for her "Though there be millions of Honkai Beasts, I will go" attitude, Chen Luo still managed to make her frown.

"Keep your voice down. Everyone's looking this way. Don't attract too much attention and disturb their meal, or they might think I'm bullying you." Chen Luo sighed, scolding Alicia for her immaturity.

Chen Luo had anticipated Alicia's prediction.

As soon as Alicia sat down opposite him and started eating, Chen Luo saw the words floating above Alicia's head, so he decided to take the initiative.

Chen Luo and Alicia have a good relationship, but there is one thing that Chen Luo hates.

Why would Alicia say she would forget Kevin's birthday? Kevin's birthday is such an important event, of course Chen Luo wouldn't forget!

Whom do you look down on?

So Chen Luo took the initiative and gave Alicia a little bit of a shock to Kevin.

"What do you mean you thought I was bullying you? You were clearly bullying me! The real deal!" Alicia puffed out her cheeks.

"If I could reach your face, I'd definitely poke you." Looking at Alicia's puffed-up expression, Chen Luo felt a little tempted.

"..."

"Lolo, apologize," Aponia, who was sitting next to him, suddenly spoke up.

"Huh? Apologize to whom?" Chen Luo was completely clueless.

“Ellie specifically wanted to remind you, the head chef, not to forget such an important matter, not to tease you,” Aponia said earnestly.

Before sitting down opposite Chen Luo, Alicia had already expressed to Aponia, to a limited extent, her concern that Chen Luo might forget Kevin's birthday.

"I think..."

Even if it's just a joke between friends, you should apologize if the other person gets angry.

"No, I'm not angry..." Alicia was caught off guard by Aponia's serious expression.

"I'm sorry, dear Miss Alicia," Chen Luo immediately admitted his mistake.

Apologizing is something that's easy to say.

And friendships often crumble because of these little things, Chen Luo thought Aponia was right.

"Wow, you actually admitted you were wrong? That's amazing. Say 'sorry' again!" Alicia's eyes lit up as if she had seen something new and exciting.

"No. I was just joking today, why do I have to apologize twice?"

Chen Luo did agree with Aponia, but Alicia's demand for two apologies was unreasonable.

"Let's do it again. If you go too far with your jokes, you should apologize."

"No."

"That joke went too far; you should apologize twice."

"Heh, I, Chen Luo, am just stating my position today..."

"Please say another apology, I really want to hear it."

[Ding! You have a new request!]

"Sorry! I'm leaving it at that. I'll say as many words as you want." Chen Luo revealed a resolute and unyielding expression.

However, Chen Luo's expression and words were completely incompatible.

"Hmph hmph hmph." Alicia looked very happy to see Chen Luo's compromise.

"What are you guys talking about?" Kevin asked, walking over as he noticed the lively scene.

"Huh? Where's Mei?" It's strange that I saw Kevin but not Mei.

“Working,” Kevin said.

"There seemed to be quite a commotion over here just now."

And Kevin seemed to hear his own name called.

"..." Alicia, hearing that Kevin wasn't willing to listen to Chen Luo's attempt to change the subject, quickly gave Chen Luo a wink.

Although it was impossible to keep the fact that Chen Luo would be the head chef for Kevin's birthday party a secret, Alicia subconsciously wanted to keep a little surprise for Kevin, even if it was just a tiny bit.

“Well… we were discussing things for the weekend, which is two days from now.” Chen Luo seemed oblivious to Alicia’s meaningful glance.

Alicia rubbed her forehead in distress.

[Ding! You have a new request!]

"Kevin, this weekend Alicia and I are throwing an amazing party. All the big names will be there, but guess who can't make it?" Chen Luo said with a wicked smile.

"??!" Kevin was stunned.

……

"Hahaha! That was hilarious! Kevin's blank expression was unbearable." After Kevin quickly finished his lunch and took a portion of his food to Mei, Alicia collapsed onto the cafeteria table, laughing so hard she could barely breathe.

"Alright, stop laughing. Did I say anything wrong? Isn't Kevin's birthday party on Sunday?"

"Yes."

"So, Kevin, as the person celebrating his birthday, didn't receive an invitation?"

"Ah, this... there's nothing wrong with that sentence."

“But the problem is, Lolo, the way you put it sounds like you’re isolating and bullying someone,” Aponia sighed.

"Don't worry, Kevin won't mind." Alicia, who was very familiar with Kevin, waved her hand.

"But speaking of which, after hearing what Lolo said, I suddenly really want to throw a party. I remember the first time I met Kevin was at a freshman welcome party." Alicia said nostalgically.

At that time, Kevin was a sunny and cheerful but somewhat introverted young man.

Now it's become cold and indifferent.

"A party? What party?"

"Sure, it's fine with either afternoon tea buffet or a drinking party. As the chef, Lolo, you certainly have the authority to decide."

"Then I want to drive an Impa..."

"Snapped!"

Mebius slapped Chen Luo on the back of the head, interrupting Chen Luo's spellcasting animation.

"Ahem, I mean, why don't you combine these things? You'll have tea, a buffet, and wine. But I can't be the only one providing it; you can't use livestock like that. Wine isn't something you can just conjure up instantly. It needs to be brewed." Chen Luo gave Merius a wronged look before speaking to Alicia.

I felt wronged, but not completely wronged.

Chen Luo deserved the slap he received.

“Great, it’s settled then. But speaking of which, Lolo, what gift are you planning to give Kevin?” Alicia asked curiously.

"I haven't decided yet," Chen Luo said casually.

"Haven't decided yet? Tomorrow's Kevin's birthday, and you still haven't picked out a birthday present?"

"Don't panic, don't panic. It's all set tonight." Chen Luo waved his hand.

"Think about it carefully. If it were you, it wouldn't be a problem to prepare a birthday present for Kevin at the last minute. For example, you could give Kevin 10 gene suppression vouchers. Whenever Kevin wants to suppress his Honkai Beast genes, he can come to you. Kevin will definitely like this gift." Alicia played with the spoon in her hand.

"That makes sense, we'll include it in the shortlist." Chen Luo nodded.

This is indeed a nice gift.

Although Chen Luo hasn't yet fulfilled his promise to suppress Kevin's Honkai Beast genes, that doesn't stop him from writing a few more IOUs.

"Sigh, it's a pity that Mei is clearly not the type to go along with our nonsense, otherwise I really wanted to put Mei in a huge gift box and send her to Kevin." Alicia said with some disappointment.

"Give up that idea. With Kevin's personality, he'll start to get anxious if he doesn't see Mei for 10 minutes." Mebius rejected Alicia's ridiculous suggestion.

Whether from a theoretical or practical perspective, Alicia's idea is impossible to realize.

"Oh, right, Lolo, take a day off tomorrow. Save up your ability, then help Kevin suppress the effects for a bit longer at his birthday party. I'm sure Kevin won't mind hugging Mei at his own birthday celebration," Alicia reminded Chen Luo.

“You can even consider this a complete birthday present.”

Alicia assured Kevin that doing this would absolutely move him to tears.

"What are you saying? Tomorrow is supposed to be my day off."

"Ugh?"

"Why are you so surprised? My job is supposed to be a weekend job."

"What? I don't even have a vacation! Why do you?"

"Is it possible that I am a researcher and you are an armed man?"

"What? You look down on armed personnel?"

"Don't talk nonsense. What I mean is that researchers can decide when to conduct their research, but armed personnel eliminate Honkai Beasts based on where they appear. I have a feeling that even if you take leave, you'll be deprived of your leave if any unexpected situation arises," Chen Luo said.

"Sigh, yeah, sometimes I really envy you researchers. You get regular holidays and work nine-to-five. Unlike me, if there's an emergency, I'll be woken up even in the middle of the night." Alicia sighed.

“No, I sometimes envy your armed forces. At least your workload is basically fixed each day. The sooner you finish killing those Honkai Beasts, the sooner you can have free time. And you get to experience different kinds of excitement every day.” Chen Luo sighed.

Not to brag, but if Chen Luo and Alicia switched roles, Chen Luo could finish Alicia's entire day's workload in half an hour.

Although Alicia can finish a day's worth of work in less than a day, she can get it done in half a day at most.

"So you're saying you're very brave? You talk a big game, but if you were really sent to the battlefield to face Honkai Beasts, wouldn't you be whimpering in fear?" Alicia shook her head, not very optimistic about Chen Luo.

"Just kidding, I can fight better than you if I take off this white coat, do you believe me? A Herrscher? I can knock him out with one punch!" Chen Luo tugged at his white coat.

"You're just bragging. Why don't you say you can beat Kevin until he's crying for breath?" Alicia didn't believe him for a second.

"This is a bit too difficult... I feel like even if I kill Kevin, I won't see Kevin whimpering."
