Their commission was suspicious.

A gun is fast and accurate from seven paces away to within seven paces.

They must be out of their minds...

"Ah!" One of the two middle-aged men revealed a ferocious look, a specially made knife that didn't appear to be made of iron suddenly appearing in his hand. He flashed behind the other middle-aged man, and as the guards behind Chen Luo raised their guns, he charged at a young girl with the knife.

But after seeing the man's actions, the two Moth Chasers lowered their guns and stared at each other.

"boom!"

"Crack!"

"what!"

When Hua realized what had happened, he saw a middle-aged man lying on the ground groaning in pain, his elbow broken by his own hand.

Hua's reaction at that moment was truly instinctive.

In fact, the fact that this person is still alive is a testament to Hua's ruthlessness.

After all, Hua's duty as a guard is to eliminate any factors that could potentially harm Chen Luo at all costs.

However, since Sakura's sister was there, Hua didn't go too far.

"Let's go, the train police will handle the rest," Chen Luo said to Ling, who had been hiding behind him.

"Wow, this young lady's martial arts are amazing!" Ling's eyes sparkled.

"...Alright, let's come to our carriage, it's all empty seats."

Chen Luo was too embarrassed to tell Ling that her older sister would be even more amazing.

After all, in Ling's mind, her older sister was just a corporate slave who often worked overtime. This was also the character design that Sakura wanted.

After Ling followed Chen Luo to the special carriage for the Moth Chasing Fire, she was surprised to find that this carriage was different from the others.

The luxury of this carriage is such that it doesn't feel like a carriage at all, but rather like a luxurious living room.

"Brother Luo, why are you able to occupy a whole carriage by yourself?" Ling asked curiously.

In Ling's memory, her sister's company seemed to be a pretty big company, but her sister was just a corporate slave.

Chen Luo is so young, and although I've heard he's some kind of genius researcher, isn't this making quite a stir?

It's already surprising enough that they chartered an entire carriage, but they also provided soldiers with live ammunition and a skilled and handsome female bodyguard.

"Because we are exchanging something very magical!" Chen Luo's expression turned serious at some point.

"W-What kind of magical thing?" Ling began to get nervous as the atmosphere changed.

"This is it!" Chen Luo brought over the kettle.

“This is…” Ling looked at the ordinary kettle with curiosity.

"I'm going to tell you something beyond your comprehension. Are you ready?" Chen Luo asked.

"Ready!" Ling clenched her fists.

"The internet in the world today is divided into four major regions, each consisting of a core component that transmits signals via fiber optic cables. And this kettle in front of you is one of those core components! Its name is—Gryffindor!"

"........."

"Huh? Ling, why aren't you saying anything? Aren't you surprised?"

"...Brother Luo, I'm 16 this year."

"so what?"

"These tricks that fool an 8-year-old can't fool me anymore! If you don't want to talk about it, just say so!" Ling suspected that Chen Luo was insulting her intelligence.

"Okay, okay, I admit that what I said earlier was a bit of an exaggeration. Actually, this thing is just an ordinary storage item." Under Ling's angry gaze, Chen Luo raised his hands in surrender.

"Ha, I already told you, I'm 16 years old this year. These tricks that fool 8-year-olds won't fool me anymore!!!"

Ling was talking animatedly when she noticed Chen Luo suddenly pull a large suitcase out of a small kettle!

"!!!"

Oh my god!

Storage devices really do exist in the world!

Don't be so surprised.

"W-w-how could I not be surprised? So, the technology to create storage items already exists?"

"That's right. Ling, have you ever heard of the Fire-Chasing Moth?"

"I've heard of it, you know, that rumored special organization that resists the Honkai? Do you work at Moth of Flames, Brother Luo?" Ling swallowed hard.

Luo Ge and his sister are colleagues. If Chen Luo is a member of the Fire Moth, then wouldn't that mean...?

"Of course... impossible. What are you thinking? This was something our company found during construction, but those damned Firemoths demanded we hand it over after receiving the news!"

"Huh? So this thing might be an alien artifact or something? Then why give it to the Fire-Chasing Moth?" Ling felt indignant on behalf of her sister's colleague.

"Maybe it's because the Fire Moths gave out just too many?" Chen Luo said, stroking his chin.

"Oh, that's alright then. How much?" Ling was still very curious.

"How would I know? I'm just a low-level employee."

"Brother Luo, why are you so angry?"

"Because I found this kettle! You damned fire-chasing moth!"

"Please accept my condolences. You damned moth to a flame!" Ling patted Chen Luo on the shoulder to comfort him.

Sigh, isn't owning a storage device or something the dream of every young person?

So it's normal to feel sad after losing something, right?

"..." Pado, standing next to her, touched her tail, which she had hidden away because it was too conspicuous, through her clothes, feeling somewhat uncomfortable.

Boss, if I didn't know you were the doctor from the Firemoth, I would have actually believed your nonsense.

Pado dressed like this because she was afraid of scaring Ling.

Although some people have already seen the existence of Fusion Warriors, even when Fusion Warriors go out to carry out missions or even kill Honkai Beasts, the people they rescue often feel a sense of fear and alienation towards them.

To put it bluntly, it's disgust.

Humans are always wary of beings with extraordinary power, regardless of what those beings are thinking. They might even be afraid of Alicia.

But this is only natural, and Pado couldn't really say anything about it.

That's why, even though Chen Luo kept saying that Pado was really cute, Pado still put on her hood and hid her tail.

Chapter 1735 Number 17 Delivering to Your Door? I Won't Be Polite!

"Phew, she's finally gone." After seeing Ling get off the high-speed train, Pado breathed a sigh of relief, then took off her cloak, revealing her ears and tail.

Because she was afraid of scaring the younger sister of the woman who was supposedly Chen Luo's good friend and also a colleague of the Fire Moth, Pado didn't dare to show her ears and tail the whole way, even inside the private carriage.

“Ling only took the high-speed train for a few stops, but thank you for your hard work, Pado,” Chen Luo said.

“It’s nothing,” Pado shook her head.

After Chen Luo brought Ling to the private carriage, Chen Luo and Ling chatted for a while, something they hadn't done in a long time.

Chen Luo also learned that Ling's trip this time was not intended to go to Mu Continent, but simply to visit another city along the way.

According to Ling, she went to other cities this time to see the concert of the big star Eden.

Moreover, Ling had informed Sakura about this trip beforehand; otherwise, she wouldn't have had the money to buy two seats...

But actually, one of those seats belongs to Sakura, and the other to Rei.

The two sisters had planned to go see the Eden show together, but just two hours before they were to leave, Ling was told by Ying that she had to work overtime again.

Although Ling was disappointed, she also knew that this was the helplessness of adults, so she didn't lose her temper. She just made thorough preparations before boarding the high-speed train for her solo journey.

Chen Luo's human-centric abilities could foresee that if it weren't for him, Ling's wallet might have been stolen, along with the Eden ticket.

Of course, Chen Luo's human-centered plugin could also foresee that if it weren't for him, Ying would have been able to go to Eden's concert with Ling.

But it doesn't mean that Sakura is handling something for Chen Luo's sake; the current situation is just the result of a small butterfly of fate gently stirring things up.

Seeing how excited Ling was, Chen Luo didn't dare tell her that the special carriage she was sitting in was Eden's personal carriage.

That's right, Firemoth wants to thank Eden's big boss once again.

But this is not entirely a coincidence. The high-speed train that Chen Luo was on was an ultra-long sightseeing train that crossed the Mu Continent and the continent where Chen Luo was located.

Besides its beautiful scenery along the way, its convenience is also among the best of all high-speed rail lines.

Because Eden has to rush to work almost every day, and even if he chooses business class, he might cause a disturbance in business class, so Eden simply bought a private carriage on every high-speed train.

This is the power of Eden!

In pre-civilizational times, Eden was not simply a wealthy person; she was a symbol of art and wealth.

However, before Ling left, Chen Luo gave her another roly-poly toy, one with Eden's personal signature.

That's right, it's the one Alicia gave me.

Chen Luo didn't have that kind of fanaticism for the roly-poly toy that Eden personally signed, because Chen Luo could ask Eden for an autograph anytime he wanted.

But for Ling... Ling doesn't really believe that the signature on this roly-poly toy was signed by Eden himself.

Maybe it was forged by the person who made the roly-poly toy? Even if the signature is exactly the same as Eden's signature on the internet, Ling doesn't remember Eden ever making the same roly-poly toy.

But in a sense, if Eden's signature really was forged by Alicia, then this roly-poly toy might be even more valuable.

Although Ling wasn't entirely sure whether the signature on the roly-poly toy came from Eden, the toy was very well made, so she happily accepted it.

As Chen Luo was about to get off the bus, he jokingly said to Ling that if Ling could show this roly-poly toy to Eden, she might get VIP treatment.

Ling got a concert ticket in the first row! It must have been bought by Sakura specifically for Ling.

If Ling keeps holding that roly-poly toy, Eden might actually get to see it.

But after confirming that Ling would not encounter any accidents while going out alone, Chen Luo stopped watching Ling's fate.

Life should always have some small expectations.

Chen Luo wasn't worried that Alicia would be unhappy if she found out about this, even though Alicia had given him the roly-poly toy.

All Alicia would say to Chen Luo was: Bring Ling over so I can have a look at her!

"Wow, it's the seabed!" Pado exclaimed excitedly, pointing to the dreamlike scenery outside the Eden private carriage.

This high-speed train, which spans the ocean and half of the Mu continent, includes a section that is an underwater tunnel. Thanks to the technology of the previous civilization, which far surpasses the level of modern technology, this one of the few underwater tunnels with such a large span was created.

This is why the tickets for this high-speed train are so expensive.

This is why the two robbers bought standing tickets (no assigned seats, also known as unreserved seats. It's possible to find empty seats on a high-speed train, but asking someone to exchange their window seat for yours would be extremely unethical).

"Oh, it's the seabed." Isamara looked at the scenery outside with a bored expression.

"Isamara, why aren't you surprised? You seemed quite excited when the train was moving on land," Paddo asked, somewhat puzzled.

In Pado and the others' minds, Isamara is now a friend who is better than an ordinary friend.

They won't be too intimate, nor too distant.

"Maybe he's been watching too much?" Isamara said coldly.

"Lolo, I want to eat gold coins." But when she looked at Chen Luo, a smile involuntarily appeared on her face.

It's fair to say that Isamara has the word "double standard" written all over her face.

But Isamara was indeed used to the seabed.

What kind of scenery does the unreachable deep sea hold for Isamara? It's not even as attractive as that blue kettle.

There's no need to worry about Isamara having megalophobia underwater, because Isamara is usually the megalophobia itself.

"Yes, yes, yes." Chen Luo then took out a handful of gold coins from the blue kettle and fed them to Isamara one by one.

Isamara, who has Skadi's memories, initially has a very high level of affection for Chen Luo.

In addition, the Paradise Coins were indeed a nutritious and delicious supplement for Isamara, who had just awakened, so she enjoyed them very much.

Only number 17 stood by, dumbfounded, watching Chen Luo waste his amusement park coins.

Although Chen Luo obtained these Paradise Coins by completing tasks, and no one else had any ownership or control over them, Number 17 could still see Dr. Mei carefully picking off a tiny bit of metallic powder from a coin inside the Moth of Fire headquarters for analysis and comparative experiments.
