Their commission was suspicious.

"No, no, no, please. There are too many people here." Chen Luo shook his head frantically.
"Oh, that's a real shame." Mebius sighed, then continued to cling to Chen Luo.
It turns out that drinking can lead to trouble.
If it were a normal Mebius, how could he not have noticed the subtle relationship between the Herrscher of Knowledge and Hua, the sole survivor of the Seventh Herrscher incident?
But Mebius, when drunk, was indeed unable to detect it.
What she cared about was another "key point".
"Alright, don't be so disappointed. Where's Klein? Why didn't she come to pick you up?" Chen Luo quickly put the bottle of water into his backpack before continuing to ask.
“Klein? Klein should still be in the lab, right? I’ve already told her that she doesn’t need to pick me up after the party tonight. We can just come to this bar, and that way we can quickly return to the lab across space,” Möbius said.
"You guys really know how to make a bar special, without even considering whether I'd approve of you visiting each other's places," Chen Luo muttered under his breath.
"But then again, why haven't you been to the bar lately?" Chen Luo was quite curious about this.
Chen Luo wasn't saying he missed Möbius or anything like that; it's just that, logically speaking, shouldn't someone like Möbius, after coming to a bar once, want to come back a few more times?
After all, this is a bar connected to countless worlds, so there should be quite a few valuable items.
For example, although Chen Luo hasn't done it yet, if he wanted to, he could get a lot of gene samples of demons and monsters from Yakumo Yukari.
Chen Luo, who possesses the Mebius scalpel, can create all sorts of strange things using these gene or body samples, let alone Mebius himself.
“You’ve been working on an important experiment lately and haven’t been able to find the time to come? You’re not angry that I haven’t come for so long, are you?” Möbius said, poking Chen Luo’s cheek.
Mebius in a drunken state is completely different from Mebius in a normal state.
After all, how could Mebius in his normal state possibly be singing and dancing with someone?
"I'm not angry, just curious. Oh, here, take this, don't lose it." Chen Luo said, pulling away Mebius's hand that was holding him and taking out a necklace.
"This is a special edition Möbius necklace that I made for you. Remember to wear it around your neck as much as possible in the future, unless you're deliberately courting death, in which case remember to take it off." Chen Luo said as he placed the necklace in Möbius's hand.
However, after thinking about it, Chen Luo took it back from Mebius and then spent a lot of effort putting it around Mebius's neck while he was drunk.
At this point, we can also see the full picture of the necklace that Chen Luo gave to Mebius.
The necklace was exactly the same as the earrings that Möbius's mother had given him, except that it was much smaller, only about four centimeters in size.
That's why Chen Luo said it was a special edition necklace by Mebius.
"What is this? It feels weird to wear," Mebius asked, stroking the necklace with his fingers.
"This necklace is formed from the condensation and deformation of Honkai crystals. It contains an extremely high concentration of Honkai energy. If you are ever injured and die and need to absorb Honkai energy, you should absorb the Honkai energy in the necklace first," Chen Luo explained.
Do you know how difficult it is to compress a Honkai crystal the size of a human head into a necklace that is only about one cubic centimeter after being folded?
Okay, it's not actually that difficult, it's more about the time it takes.
Chen Luo is really worried sick about Mebius and Klein.
The Honkai Core necklace, after being modified by Chen Luo, has a very high concentration. It can support Mebius's resurrection at least 10 times, and its priority is much higher than those crudely made Herrscher cores.
Chen Luo, who can handcraft the core of a thousand Herrschers, can attest that the Honkai energy concentration of this thing is indeed higher than that of the core of a thousand Herrschers.
So even if Mebius is really killed by Klein, he will probably absorb the Honkai core first, right?
"I feel like I've gotten the short end of the stick," Chen Luo muttered to himself after giving the necklace to Möbius.
Logically speaking, Chen Luo should first pique the client's interest, then mention what he possesses that the client desperately needs, and finally give the item to the client and receive the raw stone in return.
But this time Chen Luo didn't do that.
This is mainly because Chen Luo simply cannot explain how he could have foreseen that Klein would be stabbed to death by Möbius.
Since that's the case, just give the other party a Honkai Crystal. After all, the other party has already given Chen Luo a 5% discount on his own items and provided him with a lot of convenience.
After all, the ability to come back to life is indeed a bug, and Chen Luo has benefited quite a bit from it.
Chen Luo has always been somewhat afraid of changing the world of the previous era's civilization, but saving just one person is not a big problem.
The key point is that Chen Luo didn't save a world-renowned scientist, but just a poor guy who works overtime every day.
Even if Klein were still alive, she wouldn't have much of an impact on the world.
After all, previous civilizations were destined to be destroyed, and now there's no hope for them.
If Chen Luo had opened the pre-civilization era 10 years earlier, he might have been able to save the pre-civilization to some extent, but now it's too late, it's too late.
Honkai gave them a test set by themselves. If there were 20 questions in total, the previous civilization had already answered 16 of them, and the score for the first 16 questions was basically 0.
Even if you answer all four last big questions correctly, you still won't get a passing score.
Although Chen Luo does possess the skill "Honkai Terminator," and after several months of development, through various coincidences and clever maneuvers, he might be able to easily defeat the Herrscher of the End, but Chen Luo is not from their world.
Honkai is meant to filter civilizations, not individuals, especially since the person answering this question was someone else taking it for them.
"In short, unless absolutely necessary, don't take off this necklace, so you won't not have enough Honkai energy to revive after you die."
"So, this necklace is actually a life-saving item?" Möbius asked lazily, tilting his head slightly.
"You could say that."
"Hmm, little white mouse, you're so nice to me... are you pursuing me? Like courtship behavior in humans? Actually, I don't dislike you at all." Having received a clear answer, Möbius smiled even more happily, and her smile became even more ambiguous.
"Emmm, you're overthinking it, Aunt Mebius." Chen Luo used his hand to push away Mebius's increasingly close face.
"Ah, Auntie?" Mebius's face visibly darkened.
"jingle!"
"Doctor? Is the Doctor here? The appointed time has arrived." The wind chimes rang, and a green-haired figure in a white lab coat walked in, calling out in a calm tone.
"Klein! Alright, you're finally here. Hurry up and take your doctor away!" Chen Luo shouted as soon as he saw Klein.
Chen Luo finally understood one thing: even Mebius was somewhat concerned about age.
“…It seems the Doctor isn’t here. Come back in 10 minutes.” Klein glanced at Chen Luo and Mebius, who was standing on a stool and grabbing Chen Luo’s collar. After a pause, she walked toward the door that was not closed.
Okay, I'll come back in 10 minutes.
"They just released a new milk tea, it's so cute and delicious! Super yummy!" Chen Luo shouted at Klein's retreating figure.
"Ah, Doctor, you're here." Klein stood at the door with her back to Chen Luo and Mebius, but after three seconds she finally turned around and walked towards them.
Chapter 162 The Researchers in the Möbius Laboratory
"Klein, what kind of milk tea would you like to drink today?"
"Uh, it's that super delicious milk tea you were talking about earlier, something like 'So Delicious'," Klein said, rubbing her temples in annoyance.
I only managed to pick up the PhD student after finishing most of my work, so my mind was a bit overworked and I naturally didn't remember all the names of the milk teas Chen Luo mentioned.
[Ding! You have a new request!]
"Oh, you mean QQㄋㄟㄋㄟ好喝到咩噗茶?" Chen Luo suddenly realized.
"Yes, that's it. I'd like a cup, please." Hearing such a long name as Klein was indeed a bit of a headache.
"What kind of drink?"
"It's that thing you just mentioned... Yi... It's so delicious, oh my..." Klein's mind was a bit of a mess.
"Alright, alright, I'm just teasing you. Next time, try to stay up less and work less overtime. You'll ruin your health if you keep doing this. I added something special to this milk tea for you, you're welcome." Chen Luo pulled a cup of milk tea from under the bar and patted it on Klein's forehead.
"Ah!" The sudden attack made Klein tremble.
[Ding! Mission complete]
"That's true, but there's a lot of work. Also, Researcher Chen Luo, when can you start working at the research institute?" Klein looked at Chen Luo expectantly after taking the milk tea.
"Besides, shouldn't you, store manager, have some knowledge of medical theories and common sense?"
Klein desperately needs someone to help her with the workload.
"Uh, well... it might take a little more time," Chen Luo said somewhat awkwardly.
Chen Luo remembered that in order to join the Fire Moth, he did ask Mebius to give him an identity in the laboratory, which now seemed to be a researcher or assistant or something like that.
But Chen Luo has been really busy lately, busy saving the world.
To be honest, Chen Luo has been encountering quite a few special guests lately, so he's been busy completing his commissions.
Chen Luo's schedule has been quite full lately. First, he needs to rescue Tvalin tomorrow morning, and then find Ying's brother, Kong, within the same day and try to arrange for them to meet. As for what happens after they meet, that's not Chen Luo's business, and he can't control it.
Then on the second day, they had to think about whether or not to go to World Serpent, since Chen Luo had promised Raven to go to World Serpent within 5 days.
Next, we'll have to deal with the Herrscher of Wind's core. After all, Chen Luo always felt that having the Herrscher of Wind's core and the Herrscher of Death's core in Schicksal's hands would only cause people suffering, so it would be better for him to keep them himself.
Of course, Chen Luo would definitely be compensated for what he did, such as helping Otto revive Kallen. For Otto, these gems are not as important as reviving Kallen, so it's not a big problem.
The exact timeframe for their resurrection is uncertain.
This takes up three days, and it's uncertain whether other individuals will post commissions within those three days.
This summer vacation is even more tiring than when Chen Luo was in school.
Moreover, each of the three-day events could potentially extend from one day to two or even three days.
"And Klein, if I went to Möbius's lab, all I could do was avoid causing you trouble. As for how much work I could help you with, that would be a real problem. Because I'm very busy myself," Chen Luo said with a hint of helplessness.
"Sigh!" Klein sighed heavily.
Klein desperately wanted an angel to save him, or at least help reduce his workload by a tenth.
[Ding! You have a new request!]
【Klein's Angel】: The arrival of a researcher can reduce Klein's workload in the research lab by at least 10% for at least a week.
Rewards: 200 Primogems + 30 Klein Affinity + Random Items.
"But don't worry, Klein, I will definitely help you. This is my promise to you," Chen Luo said sincerely.
"Oh, really? If possible, please do it as soon as possible." Klein looked at Chen Luo with gratitude.
"Hmm. Why would I lie to you? Also, if you want milk tea anytime, just summon the bar. You don't have to come here only when you're looking for Mebius. You're welcome to have milk tea anytime between 8:00 PM and 12:00 AM. Of course, you can also take it away. Our bar's milk tea is very well sealed and has a shelf life of up to two days without any loss of taste."
"Really? Then give me four cups, no, eight cups of milk tea." Klein looked at Chen Luo expectantly.
[Ding! You have a new request!]
"Can you finish all this?" Chen Luo asked while preparing milk tea for Klein.
“Two cups a day is fine. But since I’ve started drinking, I can’t drink it all by myself,” Klein said honestly.
"Are there only four people in your research lab?" Chen Luo asked curiously upon hearing this.
When Chen Luo watched the short film "Mébius's Laboratory" before, he felt something was strange. Although Chen Luo had never participated in the research lab and had not heard of or understood it much, were four people a bit too few?
"Well, that's quite a lot. After all, Dr. Möbius's experiments are notorious... cough cough, the selection process is very strict, everyone is an elite, so the number is very small." Klein paused for a moment before saying this rather reluctantly.
Klein couldn't very well say that the experiment she was in was infamous, known as the "Devil's Lab," or that it was devoid of humanity, could it? Wouldn't that mean she'd driven away the only researcher who seemed relatively reliable?
"..." Well, you, Klein, with your thick eyebrows and big eyes, actually know how to lie.
Chen Luo rolled his eyes at Klein and then packed the eight cups of milk tea into a bag.
However, Chen Luo didn't intend to criticize Klein, since Klein's time in Möbius's laboratory was indeed a bit of a struggle.
Although Chen Luo accepted Klein's mission, he didn't say when he would go. Missions are something you accept first and then figure out later. What if it expires?
"Klein, give Chen Luo a good beating!" Möbius muttered, being supported by Klein.
"...What did you do to offend the Doctor?" Klein asked curiously.
"Ahem, that's a secret. Anyway, Möbius will forget about it once he sobers up, so let's not talk about it. Bye-bye, take care." Chen Luo waved to Möbius.
Seeing Chen Luo looking somewhat timid, Klein sighed and helped Mebius slowly walk out of the bar. However, when passing by the Book of Azure Profound, he took another look at it.
After all, this Book of Azure Realm really does look somewhat like Azure Realm, and there is an Azure Realm in Mebius's laboratory.
Fortunately, Klein's thinking and imagination were not broad enough, so he did not make any connection between the two.
Furthermore, at this point in time, the technology for creating armed puppets has not yet been developed.
So Klein was just curious, and didn't suspect anything.
"That just now...could it have been Möbius and Klein?" After watching Klein take Möbius away and close the door, Cangxuan Zhishu, who had been silently observing everything without saying a word, finally spoke.
Cangxuan's Book wasn't stupid either. In the crowded situation just now, he naturally couldn't shout. And now, Wendy was the only outsider in the entire bar, and he was already drunk, so there was no need to worry.
