Their commission was suspicious.

Number 17 now wants to know what Chen Luo added to him, and why the communication between him and his backup body is still so smooth even though they are almost separated by an ocean.

Unfortunately, the train has already departed, making it unrealistic for Chen Luo to return to the Moth Chaser and leave some more gold coins, and sending them by courier is even less feasible.

So we can only wait until Chen Luo returns in 15 days before discussing it further.

In order not to make Dr. Mei anxious on the other end of the communicator, No. 17 did not tell Dr. Mei that Chen Luo had a lot of Paradise coins.

This is for Dr. Mei on the 17th. Yes, that's it.

While feeding Isamara, Chen Luo also sensed Number 17's mental state. He couldn't help but marvel at the Herrscher of Corruption's natural advantage over mechanical beings.

Sigh, if it weren't for the fact that forced relationships are never sweet, Chen Luo would have gone crazy holding onto No. 17 long ago.

A forced relationship is never sweet, but it does quench thirst... This saying only applies when the fruit doesn't belong to you.

Hmph, number 17 will fall into Chen Luo's hands sooner or later!

After all, the future No. 17 is going to carry out the Stigmata Project, infiltrating himself into the Honkai consciousness as a spy—or rather, becoming part of the Honkai consciousness.

Isn't this home delivery?

……

"What kind of ending would be worthy of all the hardships and wanderings along the way?"

"...Dr. Chen Luo, right? Did anything happen to you on the way?" The staff member from the Mu Continent government looked at Chen Luo, whose eyes were often filled with tears, and then glanced at the sea of ​​people coming and going behind Chen Luo, and began to worry.

The members of the Firemoth in front of me don't seem to be injured.

The passengers pouring out behind us, though agitated, showed no signs of panic, which seemed to prove that there hadn't been many unexpected incidents during the process.

However... the government official who came to pick up Chen Luo and the others knew the extraordinary nature of the mysterious force, the Fire Moth. Since Chen Luo said there was some kind of accident, then there must be an accident.

Even if it's not obvious on the surface, it definitely has a deeper meaning.

Perhaps they secretly dealt with some Honkai Beasts or something. Thinking about this, the government worker became nervous.

"Oh, don't worry about it. I just thought it would be cool to say that after taking the high-speed rail for so long."

To be honest, Chen Luo has always felt that this is one of the 100 things everyone should say in life.

This has been officially certified by special props!

Does certification for a two-star item count as official certification?

"...It's good that nothing unexpected happened." The government worker had nothing to say, but breathed a sigh of relief.

I heard that Dr. Chen Luo from the headquarters of the Fire Moth is a medical doctor and a mechanical engineering doctor, and is also a top expert in fusion surgery. He also has the special ability to prevent those who fail fusion surgery from dying.

The doctoral degree is not that important. After all, the previous civilization was so vast that although not everyone could be a genius, geniuses continued to emerge.

While a doctorate is rare, it is precisely the latter reason that makes people more anxious about Dr. Chen Luo's safety.

There's no need to elaborate on how powerful the Fusion Warriors are, right?

I've heard that powerful fusion warriors can even kill Herrschers.

What excites the UN leadership most is that as fusion warriors, they will have virtually unlimited lifespans.

Although it may lead to physical transformation, I've heard that the super-transformation surgery is becoming increasingly sophisticated, so if nothing unexpected happens, there shouldn't be much physical transformation.

If they are unlucky enough to experience physical mutation after becoming fusion warriors, then they are simply unlucky.

But as unlucky as it may be, no one can remain calm in the face of an endless lifespan.

Moreover, this government official also heard that the reason Dr. Chen Luo was sent here for a mere seminar on armed puppets was because the UN high command had made a huge exchange of interests with the Moth of Fire.

Dr. Chen Luo cannot afford any mistakes!

A high success rate for fusion surgery is not important, since even the highest success rate for this kind of surgery can't be that high.

But the complete lack of a failure rate is terrifying.

Even with these messy thoughts on their minds, the government staff did not forget to welcome Dr. Chen Luo to the mainland for guidance with the utmost enthusiasm.

Therefore, after Chen Luo left the Fire Moth, his privileges not only did not decrease, but actually increased.

The extent of Chen Luo's privileges within a faction depends entirely on how much the faction's higher-ups desire the power of immortality.

Coincidentally, unlike the Moths of Fire, many of the high-ranking government officials on the Mu Continent are old men. Their desire for immortality is even stronger than that of the Moths of Fire's leadership.

"Dr. Chen Luo, the hotel you are about to stay in has been prepared. It is the most famous seven-star hotel in Mu Continent, and it is invested by Ms. Eden. It will definitely give you the most comfortable experience."

"Eden...? That's wonderful."

Hearing the joy in Dr. Firemoth's voice, the government staff recalled a rumor—Eden and Firemoth had recently become very close, apparently because a member of Firemoth had saved her life.

"Please follow me..." Amid the hustle and bustle of the high-speed train, the Moth Chaser soldiers, who had emerged from a special carriage, carefully checked the documents, and the government staff of Mu Continent completed the handover of the Moth Chaser attendees.

Chen Luo and others got into a limousine with government staff.

With no obstacles along the way, Chen Luo finally arrived at one of the most luxurious seven-star hotels on the Mu Continent, invested in by Eden...

"So why is there a hospital that looks newly built next to this hotel? And it's a private hospital? Do people in Mu Continent like to build hospitals next to luxury hotels?" Chen Luo couldn't help but look at the brightly decorated hospital next to him.

"Uh... to help you quickly familiarize yourself with the Qi Mu Continent after arriving and enjoy a home-away-from-home experience, we've specially prepared a luxurious private hospital for you. In case you suddenly want to have a super-transformation surgery... you can also come to this hospital, which is just for you, to practice." The man in the suit said apologetically.

"...Wow, thank you so much. If I accidentally kill a volunteer while practicing, you won't mind, right?" Chen Luo asked, holding a kettle of hot water.

"It's best...not to," the staff member said, forcing a smile.

After all, these volunteers came because they believed Chen Luo's fusion surgery would not fail.

Most importantly, the positions are generally not low... or rather, very high!

"You guys really went all out, making these dumplings just for this vinegar dish." Chen Luo sighed.

"But didn't I come to Mu Continent for tourism?"

"We'll cover all your expenses for the next two weeks," a staff member nearby quickly said, noticing the dissatisfaction in Chen Luo's tone.

"There's sincerity, but it doesn't seem like much." Chen Luo narrowed his eyes.

"Then what do you want..."

"How about this, I'll receive an armed doll for every surgery I perform. That's not too much to ask, is it? But I have to choose the armed doll myself."

"Okay! No problem! Whatever makes you happy!"

Chapter 1736 Virvie, who secretly came to Mu Continent for a tour, decided to bring Chen Luo along.

"Give him an armed doll for every surgery he performs?" Einstein Borges, with a tuft of red highlights in his hair, sat in a chair, listening to the man in the suit in front of him.

“That’s right, Dr. Einstein, you see…” The man in the suit who had just received the Moth of Fire attendees from afar asked the doctor in a very humble manner.

There are differences between doctors. Ordinary doctors have a high status, but they don't make men in suits bow down. However, doctors of the caliber of Dr. Möbius, Dr. May, and Dr. Einstein have a lot of influence.

For them, a doctorate simply represents their lower limit. Just like for Qingque, eight hours of slacking off a day is the legal limit for working hours, not Qingque's limit.

In particular, Dr. Einstein is currently an artificial life form known as an Armored Doll. On a societal level, his contributions to the world are immense.

“I can guess without you saying it that you must have already agreed to this request beforehand, right?” Dr. Einstein said.

"That...is true." The man in the suit wiped his sweat.

Dr. Einstein also had a very strong presence, and this pressure would be even greater when making requests of others.

But this man in the suit is also under a lot of pressure.

Because the higher-ups demand that one obtain the qualification to perform the super-transformation surgery from Chen Luo, regardless of the cost!

Chen Luo didn't bring up anything about wealth or power; he only wanted some armed dolls, which, in the eyes of the man in the suit and the higher-ups, was practically a freebie.

Since armed dolls can replace human soldiers, the most important requirement for reducing human casualties is that they can be mass-produced.

Since it's something that can be mass-produced, we shouldn't worry too much about sending out a few, right?

Therefore, Chen Luo's request was seen by everyone as the one that would incur the least cost for their side, and there was no reason not to fulfill it.

"You people... I've said it before, haven't I? My sole purpose in creating these armed dolls is to reduce human losses in the war against the Honkai. Don't treat them as bargaining chips," Einstein said, frowning.

But Einstein also knew that this was probably irreversible.

Because anyone with eyes can see the allure of immortality for those in positions of power.

Einstein is a doctor, but the creation of the armed dolls cannot be separated from the government's support, so he will probably have to agree to this request.

Ugh, so annoying, why doesn't the world just end right now?

All the outstanding people among mankind have probably thought about this, and have also lamented the foolishness of humankind.

But they will eventually realize that humanity still has some redeeming qualities.

Humans are truly contradictory creatures.

"Dr. Chen Luo's reason was that he wanted to retrieve the Fire-Chasing Moth for research." Seeing the impatient expression on Dr. Einstein's face, the man in the suit became even more nervous.

Although this matter was bound to happen sooner or later, Dr. Instein, though unable to withstand the pressure from above, could easily kill himself with a single finger.

But the bigger the waves, the more expensive the fish!

As long as I can weather this storm, a promotion and a raise are just around the corner!

"What is this? An excuse that makes me feel a little better?" Einstein sneered.

Although Einstein originally created the Armed Dolls to fight against the Honkai Beasts in place of human soldiers in order to reduce human casualties, Einstein never regarded the Armed Dolls as mere expendable items... Well, that was indeed his initial thought.

Humanity's strength has been greatly depleted in the long-term consumption of Honkai. Although it is certainly not almost gone, it is definitely not enough to withstand a fusion surgery with an extremely low success rate.

Because of the fusion surgery, human life has become the most precious resource, but humanity can no longer accept any more sacrifices.

Resisting the Honkai still requires ordinary human soldiers, because there aren't enough Fusion Warriors. And to increase the number of Fusion Warriors, even more ordinary human soldiers need to be sacrificed as "fodder"...

Which civilization could withstand such depletion?

That's why Dr. Einstein created the Armed Doll, a robot that combines a programmed Soul Steel core with weapons to generate an automated combat robot. These robots inherit the combat data of the weapons and are experienced warriors from the moment they are born.

They are not consumables that can be given away casually! At least they shouldn't be used for something so meaningless.

Dr. Einstein instilled in the Armed Doll Makers the principles of "fighting the Honkai" and "not harming humans," and also gave them an additional rule—"survival."

Einstein felt this was even more appropriate after spending some time with a batch of experimental armed dolls he had created.

Armed dolls also have their own thoughts.

“Um… Dr. Einstein, Dr. Chen Luo added a small condition when he made this request.” Seeing that Dr. Einstein’s expression was becoming increasingly reluctant, the man in the suit tried to salvage the situation.

"What kind of request? You don't mean I have to make these armored dolls into human form, do you?" Dr. Einstein's face clearly showed his disgust.

If the other party dared to make such a request, then Dr. Einstein would be tempted to kill.

“No, Dr. Chen Luo’s additional requirement is… he only wants defective products.”

"Huh? Are you sure?" Dr. Einstein sat up straight instinctively.

Because this requirement is really strange.

"I'm sure." Under Dr. Einstein's powerful pressure, the man in the suit nodded vigorously.

“Emmm…right, I remember that Dr. Chen Luo from the Moth of Fire is…a Doctor of Medicine and a Doctor of Mechanical Engineering, right?” Dr. Einstein suddenly asked.

“That’s right. Maybe Dr. Chen Luo only wants the defective products so he can try to repair them himself,” the man in the suit said, seizing the opportunity.

In the eyes of the man in the suit, these researchers who rarely leave their homes might find a sense of kinship with someone who shares their interests.

If that's the case, then this round of persuasion can be successfully completed!

“Interesting…Take me to meet this…Dr. Chen Luo tomorrow. I want to see what gives him the confidence to repair defective weapons.” Just as the man in the suit thought, Dr. Einstein was indeed intrigued.

Unfortunately, it wasn't mutual respect, but rather a competitive spirit.

The man in the suit was instantly paralyzed.

What are you doing? Ouch!

If Chen Luo and Einstein were to fight over a mere disagreement, it would be a loss for the previous civilization.

The latter is pre-civilization, the former is "corpse," the corpse.

Yes, the man in the suit's own corpse.

If something were to happen to Chen Luo, wouldn't the higher-ups be ripped out of their skin?!

“Dr. Einstein, calm down! I was just saying maybe. Maybe Dr. Chen Luo just likes defective products or something? Some people have this kind of fetish. So why don’t we skip it and meet again when the meeting starts?” The man in the suit tried to salvage the situation.

"That's even worse! I'd like to see who's so twisted as to only like defective products!"
