Their commission was suspicious.

Logically speaking, Einstein wouldn't have lingered long at an ordinary street magic show, but this magic performance truly surprised him.

The female magician's wonderful performance was unforgettable, bringing surprises at every turn and drawing applause from the audience on the street.

But what caught Einstein's attention even more was the other party's magic assistant... the boy who was performing magic with a half-dead work attitude.

The other party was clearly not a skilled magician, because before covering the kettle with a black cloth, they didn't even let the audience see if there was anything inside.

Generally speaking, if you just conjure up a dove like that, the audience definitely won't buy it. After all, even though everyone knows the magic trick is fake and there's definitely a dove hidden in the hat, it's going too far if you're not even willing to put on a perfunctory act.

Until Einstein's eyes twitched as he watched the other person somehow pull a... person out of the kettle?

"???"

Everyone thought you were going to turn into a pigeon, but instead you pulled a magic trick and became a living person?

More importantly, the male magician's assistant was completely empty-handed, and the black cloth barely covered the kettle. There shouldn't have been much room for maneuver, so conjuring up a pigeon would have been difficult enough, let alone a person.

Einstein simply couldn't imagine where this person came from.

No, buddy, everyone else is doing magic tricks, and you're the only one doing magic, right?

Isn't it common sense that you can't use magic in front of Muggles?

Furthermore, Einstein noticed that while the magician's assistant was performing that incredibly astonishing magic trick, the female magician beside him seemed rather sullen.

It feels strange.

By the time Dr. Einstein came to his senses, the magic show was over.

While the female magician's performance was certainly eye-catching, the magic assistant's "magic" was the real highlight.

After everyone had left, having given tips, and after the magic show was over, Einstein slowly walked towards the performance area, offered his tip, and then stared intently at the magician's assistant's kettle.

Einstein had just noticed that all of the magician's assistant's performances revolved around this kettle. He would either take something out or put something in, but because it was so amazing, and because the magician's assistant only performed it occasionally to stir up emotions, no one got bored.

"Nice to meet you, Dr. Einstein. I never expected to meet you in this setting." Seeing that Einstein's gaze was fixed on his blue thermos, Chen Luo calmly put the thermos away and extended his hand to Einstein.

“Hmm? You are…” Einstein frowned.

"Dr. Chen Luo, what are you doing here? Ah, it seems you've already met with Dr. Einstein." The man in the suit walked around upstairs and found that only Dr. Chen Luo's bodyguards were still in the hotel, but the doctor himself had disappeared. He then went downstairs again and found that Dr. Einstein was meeting with Dr. Chen Luo.

The man in the suit didn't notice Chen Luo at first because Chen Luo, the magician's assistant, hadn't appeared yet.

“You’re Chen Luo? And who’s this next to you…” Einstein turned his head to look at Vervie.

"My mentor in mechanical engineering—Vilvie. The youngest owner of the Spiral Workshop, a world-renowned magician!" Chen Luo introduced Wilvie.

Velvi is a woman with many titles, but her favorite title is the Thirteen Heroes... but unfortunately, Velvi doesn't have that title yet.

"Nice to meet you, but... I've heard so much about you." After a brief handshake with Chen Luo, Einstein extended his hand to Vervie.

If Einstein remembers correctly, the name Vervi is the name of the creator of the Divine Key series.

Moreover, Velvi's legendary career only began before she joined the Firemoth.

But just as everyone believed Dr. Mebius was long dead, yet she was alive and well within the Firemoth, Velvet, having joined the Firemoth, also disappeared for a long time.

“Dr. Einstein, hello.” And Verviel also shook the hand that Einstein extended.

"The three doctors...would you like to go back to the suite first?" the man in the suit asked, wiping his sweat.

Meeting two PhDs was already a headache, but now it's become three.

"Let's go," said Wilvi after packing up her things from the performance and stuffing them into Chen Luo's thermos.

Seeing this, Einstein became even more curious about the blue kettle.

If this blue kettle seems magical when performing magic, that's one thing, but why can it also be used in everyday life?

"Gentlemen, I may not be able to accompany you. I need to go perform a super-transformation surgery on an old man." Chen Luo pointed to a simple, unassuming car parked in front of a private hospital not far from the seven-star hotel, but whose license plate was enough to send chills down one's spine.

Beside the vehicle stood a group of bodyguards dressed in black suits, exuding an aura of unapproachability.

Seeing the license plate number and the car model of the man in the suit, I now wish I could cover my ears.

I didn't hear anything!

“Then we two will go up first,” Vervie said, pointing to herself and Einstein.

"Okay, but Sister Wilvi, remember to get a mobile surgical cart for super-transformation surgery."

“I understand. But wouldn’t it be better to let them handle these things? Hello, this mobile surgical vehicle is for those important people. It needs to be delivered to the hotel by tomorrow. Is that alright?” Velvi said to the man in the suit.

"A mobile surgical vehicle? I see." The man in the suit didn't quite understand why they would need a surgical vehicle when there was a private hospital right next door, but he had no say in the matter.

The thought that these cars might be used by important people immediately made the man in the suit start to consider what configuration to use.

A regular ambulance might not be enough; we need something bigger!

"Speaking of which, you seemed to express dissatisfaction when Dr. Chen Luo was performing magic earlier, didn't you? Why? I felt his magic had become quite amazing," Einstein asked as he and Wilhelm went upstairs.

"Because that wasn't magic at all!" Velvi said indignantly.

As a great magician, Velvet knew that magic was simply a false illusion created using visual effects, props, and so on.

But it is precisely because of this that this is the limit of human capability, and the universal surprise it can bring to mankind.

As for Chen Luo, he was simply using a magical storage device to impersonate magic.

Who uses storage containers like this?

No, I'll have to teach Chen Luo a few real magic tricks later.

"Not a magic trick? What do you mean?"

"You'll find out later. I'm sure it will bring you a pleasant surprise." Velvi smiled but didn't elaborate on the matter.

After all, matters concerning the kettle were considered a secret among the Moths of Fire, so naturally they couldn't tell everyone they met.

If Chen Luozhen decides to tell Dr. Einstein about this, then the information about the kettle will naturally bring Dr. Einstein a considerable degree of surprise or shock.

"By the way, why are you suddenly performing magic tricks on the roadside?" Einstein asked again.

“I originally came to Mu Continent for a tour, and Chen Luo will be my magic performance assistant starting today,” Vervi explained.

"Oh, then what about the super-transformation surgery?"

“Of course, it was done using that mobile operating room while we were traveling around. Those old geezers agreed to that. But to accommodate them, I'll have to change my tour itinerary. I feel so sorry for the audience who won't be able to see my performances,” Wilvi sighed.

Meanwhile, Chen Luo had already dressed and entered the operating room.

Seeing the old man lying awake on the operating table, Chen Luo took out a dagger and stabbed it near the man's ear.

"Would you rather die yourself or let me do it? You're the worst quality new recruit I've seen recently. You need to die at least three times to increase your resistance to the fusion surgery," Chen Luo said disdainfully.

However, considering that the other party had made a request to become a fusion warrior before being completely turned into a puppet, Chen Luo felt that there was still hope for this person.

At least let him die after I've completed my mission.

Chapter 1740 Ai Yin: Since you're Mebius's assistant, it's normal for you to be so perverted.

"According to the agreement, I have already helped an old man with the fusion surgery, and even exceeded the mission by turning him into a fusion warrior. What about the armed puppet that you promised me?"

After Chen Luo helped that old man fulfill his wish to become a fusion warrior and completed the mission, he couldn't wait to return to his suite and sit down in front of Dr. Einstein.

Since he rarely received a commission, Chen Luo took it seriously.

In fact, Chen Luo originally planned to take a two-week vacation in the previous civilization and not do any commissions.

But Chen Luo overestimated his self-control... If a commission were placed in front of him, he would indeed not be able to refuse.

Chen Luo has already modified the connection between the previous civilization and the bar. If nothing unexpected happens, Chen Luo should return to the main world after spending half a month in the previous civilization, and it should only be evening by then.

Chen Luo found himself rather strange. He could refuse requests unless they were presented to him directly, but when a request was offered to him outright, even 20 Originium Stones would tempt him.

This is why Chen Luo dared to stay away from his bar for 15 days, but couldn't refuse to be Wilvie's magic assistant.

Whether or not one has grown is relative. Although Chen Luo did take a 15-day vacation, as long as it only took one day within other people's perceived time, that's enough.

Chen Luo had already seen through this when he learned that the flow rates of different worlds were different before the connection was established.

And most importantly... Chen Luo is trying to get the bar's return reward.

Chen Luo saw a quest on the last page of the Adventurer's Token, a quest that could be done right now.

[Return Reward]: The bar will not operate for 14 days, giving bar patrons a little shock with its temporary closure! (Based on personal perception of the duration.)

(P.S.: Do not remain unconscious for extended periods during this process, and do not frequently use the timer to jump through time.)

This is one of the ultimate tasks on the last page.

The reason Chen Luo didn't finish it before was either because Chen Luo's bar wasn't open, or because Chen Luo lost consciousness while searching in the library, or because he had jumped through time.

It seems that since this is the ultimate mission, it's assumed that Chen Luo already possesses all the talent items, such as the Moon Clock.

So, consider those 15 days in this world as a vacation.

I wonder what the mysterious gift pack is after completing all the ultimate tasks on page 10?

Will there be a surprise?

"Let's get this straight, the one who agreed to your request of giving you an armed puppet for every super-transformation surgery I perform is them, not me." Einstein crossed his arms.

"..." The man in the suit standing next to him wiped away his cold sweat.

The "they" that Einstein was referring to were naturally himself. The man in the suit, now being watched by Chen Luo and Einstein, was under immense pressure, but had nowhere to hide.

So now he can only pretend to be stupid.

This deal was bound to happen sooner or later, especially after the good news spread that Chen Luo had turned a high-level executive into a fusion warrior on his first fusion surgery and that the executive had hardly undergone any mutation. This cooperation was now inevitable.

However, some fluctuations may occur during this transaction.

For someone as insignificant as myself, even a small fluctuation could drown me.

"I heard you specifically requested those defective armed dolls. Can you tell me why?" Einstein turned to Chen Luo after withdrawing his gaze from the man in the suit, making it clear that he shouldn't act on his own initiative again.

"You're coming again?" Wilvi, who was standing to the side, couldn't sit still any longer.

"What do you mean?" Einstein sat up straight.

“If nothing unexpected happens, he probably wants to repair those defective armed dolls himself,” Wilvi said, shrugging.

"Chen Luo seems to have a special interest in making or repairing dolls by hand."

"Why?" Einstein asked, somewhat curious.

"Will you agree to my request after I tell you?" Chen Luo asked.

"We'll see." Einstein didn't give a direct answer.

"No, you have to agree first. Otherwise, I won't tell you." Chen Luo shook his head, seemingly having something difficult to say.

"...Let me make sure you don't need these armed dolls for anything strange, right?"

"Of course not. Let me tell you, I'm a puppeteer. As a puppeteer, I have my own professional ethics. Having love for every puppet is a professional quality of every puppeteer," Chen Luo said.

"You wouldn't choose a defective armed doll because you can't stand seeing those armed dolls being discarded because they're defective, would you?" Einstein thought a lot after hearing Chen Luo's words.

"You have to agree to this condition first before I can tell you the real reason."

"...Alright, I agree to your conditions. Now tell me, what is your real purpose?" Einstein finally agreed to Chen Luo's request.

Because Einstein knew he could not refuse, nor could he refuse.

Firstly, because the armed dolls created by combining weapons with soul steel are, strictly speaking, subordinate to the government.

Secondly, even if they disagree, those old geezers at the higher levels will secretly give it to them.

After talking with Vervier for a while, Einstein managed to gain a basic understanding of Chen Luo.

It seems unlikely that the other party would use an armed doll for evil purposes, and since there are quite a few beautiful girls around them, there's no need to worry about Chen Luo using the armed doll for strange things.

"Have you finished recording?" Chen Luo turned to look at Vervi.

"It's recorded." Velvi gave an OK sign.

“You two…” Einstein was somewhat surprised.

When did these two start planning to trick me?

However, Einstein still had his pride, and since he had made a promise, he naturally wouldn't go back on it.

This is the pride of a genius.
