Their commission was suspicious.

Chen Luo had said that if Klein minded, he could help her remove the doll mark and mark her as a special person to stop receiving doll marks, but Klein refused.

Klein felt quite safe having the doll's mark inside her; at least her death wasn't the end.

Since it's a doll, there's no need to worry about the fear of collapse, right?

As for skipping work, Klein was already used to it.

If the subjects are Cangxuan and Danzhu, then it's even more normal.

"Nice! Perfect timing to browse around the Firemoth during work hours." Cang Xuan's mood visibly improved.

"But haven't we already visited Moth Chaser and such many times?"

"What do you know? This is a perfectly legitimate reason for skipping work to go out and explore the world of moths. How can it be the same?" Cang Xuan shook his head and said.

In any case, Cangxuan felt that the pleasure brought by spending public funds on food and drink was incomparable to that of ordinary travel.

Isn't it great to get something for free?

Is Aloy, a 5-star character in Genshin Impact, strong?

Its presence is almost zero.

But she can get it for free.

So it's very nice!

And so, Cangxuan and Danzhu, along with Hua, openly strolled around the Moth Chaser during working hours.

Of course, these two senior sisters were somewhat considerate and knew the purpose of their trip, so they led Hua obediently towards the engineering department where Wilvi was located.

"Hmm? You're looking for Vervie? Well, you're a bit too late. It seems like Dr. Luo from your lab came to see Vervie just now. The two of them discussed something, and it seems they reached some kind of agreement, so Vervie just openly skipped work," said an employee from the engineering department.

Why can Virvi skip work so openly?

Yes, geniuses are always unconventional.

“Good news, Lolo did indeed come to see Vervie,” Cang Xuan said, turning around.

"Another piece of news that's not so bad is that we're a step too late."

"So what do we do now? Should we keep looking? Or go back to the lab? If we keep looking, we should go find that high-ranking member of the Firemoth who withheld the plans, right? But Dr. Möbius only said 'high-ranking member,' he didn't say which one..."

There are many more high-ranking members who are like moths chasing the flame.

"Well, I have a way. The Firemoth's lounge! The biggest gossip hub in the Firemoth. There's bound to be relevant information there, and I happen to know someone..." Cang Xuan patted his chest, indicating that the rest was up to her.

Cangxuan, along with Danzhu and Hua, prepared to head to the Fire Moth's rest room and then find Erwin, who was passing by, to inquire about the latest gossip.

Meanwhile, Chen Luo also hooked up with Vervi.

"My dearest audience, are you really planning to do this?"

"Of course, my dear magician, are you afraid?"

"I'm not afraid, but I don't want my most beloved audience to fall into this trap."

Although Vervi spoke words of concern, she couldn't stop smiling.

Caring is a matter of courtesy that friends should have.

The smile, however, stems from the passion that a magician should possess.

A qualified magician, in addition to putting on a sufficient performance before the show begins, must also be prepared to perform magic tricks urgently at any time.

A true magician is a professional performer who is passionate about magic performances under any circumstances.

"But Vilvie, are you really sure you can get me into their office?"

"Are you kidding me? Who am I? I'm Velvey. A proper magician must always have a backdoor in mind, no matter what! Besides, when you chose me as your assistant, didn't you already have your mind made up?"

"Vilvie said with considerable pride."

"I remember Dr. Mei saying something like, you're not allowed to leave any backdoors when designing any buildings for the Fire Moth." Chen Luo seemed to recall something.

"Alright, my dearest audience, instead of worrying about whether I'll get scolded for leaving a backdoor after Dr. Mei finds out, you should worry about how you'll be treated afterwards."

"Heh. What am I afraid of? I'm incredibly brave, okay? One trick is all I need. If someone else had my skills, they'd be strutting around like crazy, wouldn't they? I'm just beating someone up, so what? Besides, when you agreed to help me, didn't you already decide in your heart whether I would face any severe punishment?" Chen Luo retorted.

"That's true..."

A qualified magician would never put their audience in real danger.

A magic show is just a magic show.

Audience members can participate in the magic show, but they cannot become victims of the magic show.

"But it's settled then, as payment for hiring a great magician to perform, remember to do the super transformation surgery for me."

[Ding! You have a new request!]

[Fusion Warrior]: Don't you like the eight parts of Velvet? Help Velvet become a Fusion Warrior.

Reward: 600 Primogems + 30 points of affinity with Velvi

Difficulty: 3 stars

It's clear that Velvet is indeed interested in becoming a Fusion Warrior, but not very interested.

However, this was still a pleasant surprise.

"Don't worry, I guarantee I'll complete the mission. If it doesn't work the first time, we'll try again. Besides, I feel that a genius magician like you, Vilvie, definitely has the potential to become a fusion warrior."

Chen Luo had consulted with the Book of Akasha beforehand and was told that making Velvi a fusion warrior ahead of time would not cause any uncontrollable impact on the previous civilization, which is why he agreed.

With the library providing access to the Book of Akasha, Chen Luo no longer worried about his pre-civilization threat level progress bar exploding.

"Let's save the remaining praise after the performance is a success. I'll be waiting for your feedback." Wilvi patted Chen Luo on the shoulder.

"rest assured."

"Then... let the excitement begin!"

Looking at the office not far ahead, which appeared to have only one bodyguard but was actually heavily guarded, Velvi smiled.

……

"Hmm, this is clearly a matter for your Möbius Biological Laboratory, why are you asking me?"

"Sigh, who doesn't know that you, Erwin, are the most well-informed person in the Firemoth?"

"That's true... You've said a lot of nice things, but Cang Xuan, you have no sincerity at all."

"I brought it, I brought it, a collector's edition lollipop from 82."

"Let's ignore the '82' thing. I've heard of Luo, the prominent figure in your lab, and the one who withheld funding and proposals from the Möbius Biological Lab. The former goes without saying; you know your junior colleagues. As for the latter, if I remember correctly..."

Irwin's words came to an abrupt halt as his communicator rang.

Although he was anxious to find out which idiot executive had withheld the funding for the Möbius Biological Laboratory, Cang Xuan still knew what was important and what was urgent.

Cangxuan and Erwin are good friends, especially since they share a strong bond when it comes to gossip.

Cang Xuan naturally knew Erwin's habit, which was to pay special attention to all public accounts or official media that could issue important announcements.

Do you think Erwin earned his title as the most well-informed person from such a low-profile background? Didn't he achieve it step by step through his own hard work?

"...Well, I was going to say that I had some guesses about your junior brother's target, but now I'm basically certain, and I also know where your junior brother is now." After a moment of hesitation, Erwin said to Cangxuan.

"Huh? You know so much about it? As expected of Erwin!"

“No, this isn’t about whether it’s clear or not. If you were willing to open your communicators now, you might receive a similar push notification from the Firemoth’s internal network.” Erwin hesitated, then gestured for Cangxuan to look for himself.

Upon hearing Erwin's words, Cangxuan suddenly had a bad feeling.

Generally speaking, messages that can be pushed out by the Moth Chaser's internal network are not trivial matters.

As soon as Cang Xuan turned on his communicator and entered the Firemoth's internal network, a message popped up. Dan Zhu and Hua, standing behind him, also looked at Cang Xuan's screen.

[Lo, an assistant at the Mebius Biological Laboratory of the Fire-Chasing Moth, colluded with Velvet to assault a high-ranking member of the Fire-Chasing Moth! The nature of the act is extremely egregious! He has now been arrested!]

"?!!"

Chapter 1140 Hua: Doctor, don't you want me anymore either?

"Regarding the verdict on Vilvie, just put her in confinement for three days, and then make her hand over all the backdoors she designed! Moth Chaser shouldn't have hired her as their designer!"

Inside a large conference room, a senior executive slammed his hand on the table and spoke.

"But can you find a designer more talented than Vervie?"

"No, that's why I said I'd only put her in confinement for three days."

"Then... what about Luo?"

When someone asked the question, everyone's eyes turned to the middle-aged man with a red handprint on his face.

"Hmph, why are you looking at me like that? Just follow the rules regarding the punishment." The middle-aged man snorted coldly.

"But the problem is that there has never been a case before where a member of the Firemoth colluded with another member to enter the Firemoth's senior management office just to beat up that senior management."

"And if the evidence at the scene is accurate, it seems he was mainly beating your son? Right? And you were mostly injured accidentally?"

"Don't mention that bastard to me! That idiot!" The Moth of Fire executive got angry whenever his son was mentioned.

"And it wasn't an accident. Don't be fooled by the single handprint; I was actually hit at least ten times! If you don't believe me, get a forensic examination! In short, it was extremely serious and deserves severe punishment!"

The Firemoth executive slammed his hand on the conference room table, then glared angrily at Mebius, who was sitting in a corner.

Here's what happened...

The detention order and the funding application rejection order from the top management of Moth were actually issued by the son of this Moth executive, who impersonated his father.

Before Chen Luo barged into that office, the executive was scolding his son.

Don't get me wrong, this executive wasn't reprimanding his son for doing this; it's just that doing so was too obvious and seemed incredibly idiotic...

...Then Chen Luo ran in, slapped the higher-up, and started beating people with a rubber baton.

Chen Luo doesn't mind showing off his combat power; at least he can take on two opponents by himself, which is within the capabilities of someone who survived the Sixth Honkai Impact.

Later, after hearing the higher-ups' excuses, he started beating the son again.

Which son is he now?

He's lying in the hospital.

Even the higher-ups, his own father, could hardly recognize what that pig-headed guy originally looked like.

“You must give us an explanation regarding this matter, Mebius. The Moth of Fire has never committed such a heinous act since its inception!”

All eyes turned to Möbius, who was sitting in the corner.

“What’s there to explain? It’s just personal grudges,” Möbius said calmly.

"Sigh." Dr. Mei, who was sitting not far from Mebius, couldn't help but cover his forehead.

Dr. Mei used to think that Möbius was the most difficult to deal with, since Möbius had no interest in anything other than research. But she didn't expect that Chen Luo was even more difficult to deal with than Möbius.

Mebius didn't care about the deduction of his budget, because no matter how much money he received, there was nothing he wanted to enjoy anyway.

But Chen Luo really dared to do it, using this reason to beat up the higher-ups of the Fire Moth.

That was true courage.

Moreover, he is both brave and resourceful.

At least he knew to go find Vilvi instead of going up and beating people up by himself.

But this also proves that Chen Luo is really serious.

"How about a month of confinement?" Mei said after hesitating for a moment.

Mei doesn't have decisive power within the Firemoth's upper echelons, but she still wields some influence.

Mei didn't speak up entirely because of her personal relationship with Chen Luo, but because Chen Luo's contributions to the Fire-Chasing Moth were indeed significant.

"No way!" The executive, who had been proven wrong, strongly objected.

“That’s right,” someone echoed.

But before the executive who received support could even rejoice, another executive spoke up.

“If he’s locked up for a month, who’s going to perform the fusion surgery? You? My fusion surgery cooldown is about to expire. Maybe I can become a fusion warrior next time,” said High-ranking (cannon fodder) No. 1.

"I knew it was your lousy fusion surgery!"
