Their commission was suspicious.

"what?"

"Like I said, I really don't know where to spend my salary in our lab, so how about we get a contract?"

"What contract?" Pado was taken aback.

"From now on, become my employee, my personal employee. If you want anything, I'll come to you. How about it? As compensation, I can give you a quarter of my salary."

"Uh……"

"Don't underestimate this quarter of my salary. I just joined the lab, and in less than two months, my salary has already reached 20,000 yuan, not including performance bonuses and performance-based pay. Once I become a PhD, my salary will definitely be even higher."

"So much? Uh, I think I'll pass. It just feels a bit awkward." Although she was surprised that Chen Luo had just joined the company and was already earning such a high salary at such a young age, Pado felt very constrained at the thought of becoming some kind of exclusive employee.

"Oh, Pado, don't try so hard, I'll take care of you."

"No, no need. Boss, can you please not be so enthusiastic?"

Chen Luo's excessive enthusiasm and friendliness made Pado a little nervous.

Paddo's feline instincts didn't sense any danger, but it was the warmth of the situation that frightened her more.

Cats are afraid of fire, and people who have been lonely since childhood are also afraid of passion.

"Alright, think it over carefully. The terms are negotiable."

"Okay, okay, let's not bring this up now." The cat was getting a little anxious.

[You're too hasty. Sometimes being too enthusiastic towards friends can make them feel distant. If you want to get closer to the cat, maybe you could try owing her something...]

"Oh, right, Pado, I think I forgot to bring the payment for making the locks. Can I give it to you next time I need to buy more?" Chen Luo said, taking into account the suggestion given by Tianfu.

"Huh? Wasn't the money I put in the box just now all the money for the birthday package and repairing the box?" The cat was stunned for a moment.

"What are you thinking? Of course not. That money was originally given to me by my friend to buy a birthday meal. There might be a little extra, but she won't mind. I'll just introduce you to her later."

"Uh, boss, your friend..."

"Don't worry, she's a very cute girl who loves making friends."

"Oh, I see. Then no problem." The cat breathed a sigh of relief.

……

"Hua, why did Pado seem relieved when I didn't give her the full amount of compensation and even owed her some money?" Chen Luo couldn't help but ask, watching the cat walk away with such ease.

"I don't know," Hua shook his head.

"Library, let me ask you a question. Why do I feel like the world is targeting me these past few days? I've had really bad luck." Chen Luo asked out of boredom, seeing that Alicia hadn't arrived at the rendezvous point yet.

[If one day, your little fox suddenly could talk and even read your mind, so you could no longer have random thoughts when you were with it, what would you do?]

"Hmm, deduct all the fried tofu from its next three days... Wait, did you just say something that's sensitive?" After answering, Chen Luo came back to his senses and paused for a moment.

[The query period is 1 to 1024 hours. Would you like to query?]

"???"

Chapter 1095 The Lawbringer of Knowledge: Why is this tree always shedding leaves?

"What's wrong? What are you thinking about?" Mebius asked with his eyes closed, lying in Chen Luo's arms.

"I'm wondering if my luck will be this bad these next few days..." Chen Luo hugged Mebius while lying on the deck chair.

"Bad luck? How come I didn't notice?"

“No, it’s not that I encounter unpleasant situations when doing things; that doesn’t really affect me. The key is that my luck was extremely bad when opening treasure chests and rolling dice.” Chen Luo said, holding Möbius in his arms while gently playing with Möbius’s slender fingers.

"Since it won't affect what we're doing, we don't need to worry about it."

“It’s not something you can just ignore. For example… I recently gained an ability to ask the world questions, and the world will respond to me. Just now, I asked the world how to improve the fusion surgery, and the world gave me an answer.”

"The Book of Akasha?"

"Uh, um." Chen Luo nodded.

Chen Luo didn't bother to find out if the Book of Akasha existed in the previous civilization, otherwise he wouldn't have used such a euphemistic term.

"Isn't this a good thing? And why didn't you say so sooner that there's such a convenient tool?"

"I just acquired this ability too. You should have told me where I was going earlier!" Chen Luo gently blew a breath of warm, moist air into Mebius's ear. Mebius, who had become somewhat sensitive to temperature due to the fusion surgery, subconsciously shrank his neck.

“That’s certainly a good thing, but the problem is that there’s a time limit for searching this question, it could be one minute or 45 minutes, and I just threw in the 45-minute option. And this has been happening a lot lately.” Chen Luo quieted down after being lightly nudged with his elbow by Mebius.

"So... how did you offend the world?"

"Well, to put it simply, the very existence of this ability of mine is its original sin. At least for the next few days, don't expect any good luck."

"Then there's nothing I can do. Even I have my limits. Trying to scheme against the world... you should ask Mei for that." Möbius lay lazily in Chen Luo's arms.

"I certainly wouldn't dare to scheme against you, but Snake, have you shrunk a little again? Did you die again?"

"Yes, I died once while researching the Herrscher core of the Seventh Herrscher. Even fusion warriors are prone to making mistakes when facing a Herrscher core with extremely high Honkai energy concentration at close range," Mebius said calmly.

It's like the cat used all its luck to open a door to somewhere when the Herrscher of the End appeared, and then it was gone too.

Even though the cat became a fusion warrior, it couldn't withstand that concentration of Honkai energy, so the cat died.

"Do you prefer the current me, the me who never died before, or the me in the memory form?" Mebius suddenly asked.

"Huh?" Chen Luo was taken aback.

"Library, help!"

The query will take 1 to 30 minutes. Would you like to proceed?

"...No need. Let alone 30 minutes, even if you are silent for just one minute, you might not see me the next day."

[Clearly, this is a death trap. Do you need me to simulate it for you?] Reconnaissance ability activated.

[You mean you don't like me as I am now?]

[I liked you the way you were at the beginning: So you're disgusted by how I look now?]

[If you like memory chip-sized devices... then there's no need for simulation; those who know, know.]

[I like them all: Oh, so you've thought about holding my memory copy in your arms like this?]

[I like you now and you in the past: Did you deliberately avoid mentioning the memory space? So you mean, if I die a few more times, you'll stop liking me?]

[Summary: This is a death trap; there's no hope.]

"Snake, turn your head around," Chen Luo said to Mebius.

"Hmm? Uh..."

Mebius turned his head away in confusion, only to be met with Chen Luo covering his mouth.

But Chen Luo's hands were intertwined with Möbius's hands. Guess what they were using to cover their mouths?

[Don't say a word, just kiss her!]

Although Chen Luo's actions were too abrupt, the only restraint he could exert was to interlock his fingers with Möbius's; Möbius could easily dodge if he wanted to.

But Mebius didn't seem to be too opposed to it.

Don't forget that a single leaf can block your view.

A leaf before the eyes

No matter how busy life gets, don't forget this.

It's quite difficult to get Shi Bao to accept his stepmother, or rather, it's quite difficult to get him to accept his biological mother.

once.

Chen Luo made a grand vow during the lottery draw: he would use the "Blinding the View with a Leaf" technique on Xiao Shi a maximum of 10 times a day. He has only used it once so far, and there are still many opportunities left.

Don't panic, don't panic at all.

Aunt: Cousin, are you there? It's already noon, and we're about to start the treasure hunt according to your instructions. Would you like to come and watch the process to make sure nothing goes wrong?

Chen Luo heard the message from the group network.

[Chen Luo: I'm busy right now, you guys look for it first, and come find me if you can't find it. Don't come to me for everything; learn to think independently.]

Aunt: Oh

Okay, continue...

"Clang clang clang!"

A sudden knocking sounded at the door.

Upon hearing the noise, Möbius released Chen Luo, licked his lips with lingering satisfaction, and then turned to look at the doorway.

At the entrance, Klein stood beside the long-open door, one hand on the door, watching Chen Luo and Mebius, who seemed very close.

"Doctor, it seems I've come at the wrong time."

“No, you’ve come at just the right time.” Möbius shook his head.

"Hmm?" Chen Luo couldn't help but glance sideways.

Oh no, I'm not the scumbag, it's Mebius!

Hmm, we need to find a way to render Klein harmless.

"Library, do you think Möbius prefers me or Klein?"

I like you

"Oh, you don't like Klein?"

[Mebius and Klein were close friends, but their relationship was not the same.]

"Then tell me, how should I render Klein harmless?"

She was harmless to begin with.

"How should I put it? That's not what I meant, you understand?"

[He proposed a new method to improve the fusion surgery, then appointed Klein as his assistant, and NTR'd Klein away from Möbius.]

What will be the consequences?

[Query time is 1-108 hours. Would you like to query?]

"..."

The Book of Akasha's judgment is strange. Some seemingly important questions will be answered automatically in less than a second, but when it comes to some strange areas, it may give you a very high time limit.

Therefore, it is clear that the method provided by the Book of Akasha is feasible, but the outcome is uncontrollable.

"So, can we try another method?"

The way to a girl's heart is through her stomach.

"I get it! You want me to make Mebius a loving breakfast! So that Snake can't live without me!"

[No, the suggestion here is to give Klein the divine milk tea made by the Judah Oath through the bar every day, then throw it into the golden milk tea produced in the river, so that you can firmly bind Klein's stomach, making her unable to resist you, and thus forever unable to leave you.]

"...What? You actually gave me this idea? Do you think I would do something so despicable just to compete with Klein for Möbius?"

Chen Luo found it hard to imagine what kind of image he would have in the Book of Akasha.

"Klein, would you like some golden milk tea made with the Oath of Judah? It's Sunday, but I'm still troubling you and Snake to work overtime. Thank you for your hard work. As compensation, you can choose how many cups you want," Chen Luo said to Klein with a smile.

"Ten cups!" Klein said, swallowing hard.

Golden milk tea, or milk tea made with the Oath of Judah, is delicious enough. Klein doesn't even dare to imagine how powerful the combination of the two would be.

[Ding! You have a new request!]

Okay.

Chen Luo wouldn't do something so despicable just to compete with Klein for Mebius.

But if it's to fulfill Klein's own wishes...

Well, anyway, Klein suffered no loss at all.

After all, who can resist super delicious milk tea?

"Add coconut jelly," Klein requested.
