Their commission was suspicious.

Chen Luo was somewhat uncertain about the probability that if he lay on Möbius's experimental table, he would remain in his original state after getting off.

What if you get an extra tail after getting off the lab bench?

Or perhaps it has an extra ear?

"Well, don't be so quick to refuse. After all, there's plenty of time. You might agree at any time."

"Emmm... Doctor, could you give me a scalpel?" Chen Luo stroked his chin and stared at Mebius as he spoke.

Chen Luo wanted to learn about anatomy to understand how dangerous it would be for him to be on the operating table.

"Hmm, should I go back to the lab to get it for you?" Möbius paused for a moment.

"Give it to me now, I'll just use it for a bit and then return it to you," Chen Luo said after glancing at the exchange list on Mebius's body.

“How could someone carry a scalpel with them?” Mebius looked at Chen Luo strangely.

"..." Chen Luo just looked at Möbius quietly without saying a word.

“Well, as a lab worker, it’s normal to carry a scalpel for self-defense, right?” Looking at Chen Luo’s confident gaze, Möbius suspected that when he was acting drunk at Chen Luo’s place a couple of days ago, Chen Luo had touched the scalpel.

As for why one would bring a scalpel to an investor's reception...

As a delicate woman, it's perfectly normal for me to carry a scalpel for self-defense, right?

Taking the scalpel, still warm from Möbius's body, Chen Luo fell into deep thought.

The moment Chen Luo touched the scalpel, he instantly and temporarily mastered [Surgical Proficiency], [Anatomy Proficiency], [Super-Transformation Surgery Proficiency], [Human Body Modification Proficiency]...

Mebius, what exactly have you done with this scalpel?

But scalpels are disposable, right? No, the handle of a scalpel is not disposable, but the blade is.

Or is it because this scalpel is Mebius's scalpel that it's so amazing?

Fortunately, there was nothing like "Assassination Mastery" on this scalpel.

Chen Luo originally borrowed the other party's scalpel to learn some medical knowledge and see if the other party might dissect him or something like that.

Now Chen Luo does indeed know the answer to this matter.

If you dare to cut a slice of an extremely precious, rare, and unique sample, then... if you have a mentor, you'll be beaten to death by your mentor with a spiked club.

However, Chen Luo really didn't expect that he could learn how to perform super-transformation surgery just by borrowing a scalpel. Who could resist that?

In some respects, Chen Luo and Mebius are now at the same level, because Mebius's own pediatric surgery is only at the proficiency level.

"Can I have this scalpel? I can give you some more samples of the little evil god's flesh." Chen Luo looked up at Mebius and said.

Because some of the technologies associated with this scalpel are not universal, Chen Luo can only use them when he has this scalpel in his possession.

For example, the "Super Transformation Surgery Mastery" course.

Chen Luo can achieve mastery by touching certain objects; for example, he can learn swordsmanship by holding a sword and knife by holding a knife.

To put it another way, Chen Luo is now almost a master of all eighteen martial arts, but he is only a master; he doesn't possess any unique skills.

But when Chen Luo gripped that scalpel, he learned a unique skill.

This might be due to the special nature of this scalpel; at least Chen Luo didn't learn gun-fu when he touched Kiana's weapon...

“No need, I still have quite a few of those samples left. You can take this scalpel if you like. Consider it a small gift.” Möbius waved his hand and said.

After undergoing the super-transformation surgery, Möbius, who gained superpowers, no longer needed a scalpel for self-defense.

I still carry it with me simply out of habit.

[Ding! You have received a favorability gift (Möbius's Personal Scalpel)]

"Affection-boosting gifts..."

Another unfamiliar term.

"If I may ask, do you need an assistant in your lab?" Chen Luo suddenly asked Möbius.

Chen Luo wondered if Möbius's laboratory had more than one such good thing.

"Hmm? What? You want to be my assistant in the lab? Of course you can." Möbius hesitated for a moment before readily agreeing.

If we can lure Chen Luo to our lab, wouldn't we have countless opportunities to obtain samples from him?

"...You agreed so readily, it scared me a little. Never mind, I'll go later."

"Alright then." Mebius was a little disappointed.

There was once an extremely precious, unique, and rare sample placed before me, but I did not cherish it...

"Since you don't want me to study you, then give me some samples, um, bodily fluid samples."

"Specifically, it refers to..."

"Blood, saliva, sweat, and **"

"..."

"Oh dear, little mouse, why are you blushing?" Mebius had been leaning forward without turning back, and now he directly lifted Chen Luo's chin with his finger.

"..." Although Chen Luo knew that these four bodily fluids were the easiest to obtain, it was still a bit hard for him to accept that Möbius had said them so directly.

"Why aren't you saying anything, little guinea pig?" Perhaps it was because he had undergone the super transformation surgery and his own strength had increased significantly, or perhaps it was because he had become familiar with Chen Luo, but in any case, Mebius's aggressiveness had greatly increased.

[Ding! You have a new request!]

"Ahem, no way," Chen Luo said directly.

Chen Luo also refused the mission.

How could I possibly agree to such a request, even if it were worth 500 Primogems?

Chen Luo was very worried about Mebius. If he wasn't supervising him in person, Chen Luo was concerned that Mebius might do something to his genetic sample.

“It seems you’re being too cautious and don’t understand me at all. Everyone who knows me knows that I, Möbius, am a scientist of impeccable character. I would never harm you…” Seeing Chen Luo’s insistence, Möbius could only sit back down in his seat.

“Good character… alright.” Chen Luo didn’t want to argue with Mebius about this.

"So, have you added any strange or unusual items to your collection lately? Like the flesh of an evil god or something?" Mebius asked.

In fact, this was the main purpose of Möbius's visit. Möbius never expected to get Chen Luo to agree to his research request in one go.

"How could such a strange thing be so easy to obtain? So we don't have it for now." Chen Luo shook his head.

"In that case, I'll be going. But remember to save something good for me next time," Möbius said decisively.

Then he stood up and got up to leave.

"Wait a minute," Chen Luo suddenly called out to Mebius.

"What are you doing?" Mebius asked, turning around.

"You haven't eaten yet, have you?"

“Hmm, it seems so…” Mebius thought for a moment and nodded.

"Then wait for me for half a minute."

After Chen Luo finished speaking, he ignored Mebius's reaction and went straight into the small kitchen.

Chen Luo could indeed buy things directly from the store, but if he wanted to pack them up, he had to go to the small kitchen to pack them.

Half a minute later, Chen Luo did indeed come out, carrying two items in his hands.

"Use this for your and Klein's dinner: spicy lobster instant noodles and red bean, pearl, and coconut milk tea." Chen Luo placed two identical lunch bags in front of Mebius.

"Instant noodles? Hmm, that sounds pretty good." Möbius took the two food bags.

In fact, Mebius quite likes instant noodles.

"If you're doing experiments too late, but it's not past 2 a.m., you can come here for dinner. This tavern isn't just a tavern, it's also a restaurant," Chen Luo said considerately.

This time I won't charge you any raw stones, but once you've tasted this incredibly delicious spicy lobster ramen, you'll definitely want to eat it again. Next time, I'll have to charge you.

Chen Luo would not let go of any opportunity to earn raw stones.

Chen Luo deeply understood the principle that "a long line is needed to catch a big fish."

"Okay, I understand." Möbius gave Chen Luo a deep look.

When Klein accompanied me here last time, I ordered a milk tea. Did she remember that?

She is indeed a very meticulous person.

"Seriously, Alo, they didn't ask for it, so why did you give it to them? That's blatant discrimination!" Wendy, who was sitting at the bar, protested after Möbius left, slamming her hand on the table.

“Exactly. I’ve never been treated so well before. I’ll remember this grudge.” Yura nodded in agreement.

"What do you two know? He's a tech talent, a treasure of the world. How can he starve?"

“What are you saying? I’m still the best bard in Teyvat,” Wendy said, displeased.

"But you can withstand hunger."

You don't even have to eat; you won't starve.

"And me? I'm a guerrilla captain. I'm responsible for guarding the safety of Mondstadt." Having visited so many times, Yura's mood had brightened a bit.

After all, nobody here really cares about his status as a sinner; they're from completely different worlds anyway.

“That makes sense. So, how about chilled tomato and meat jelly egg rolls?” Chen Luo nodded and asked.

"Huh, do I really have it?" Yura was stunned for a moment.

Yura was just joking.

"Aren't you on duty in the field? Why don't you grab a bite to eat here?"

"That's certainly possible..." However, Yura was a little unaccustomed to this sudden act of kindness.

"Wait, hey, why..." Wendy was about to protest when Chen Luo placed a plate of food in front of him.

"Here's your apple pie, please enjoy."

"Oh ho, Alo, as expected of you, you really understand me." For Wendy, who loves apples, apple pie is quite a delicious treat.

"But Alo, why did you suddenly decide to give it away for free?"

"Yes, let's give back to the community."

After all, we've taken so many benefits from these deals, it's really time to give back to society.

The wool comes from the sheep's back.

"Alright, you guys eat first, I'm going to play Battle Royale now." Chen Luo waved to the two of them, then took a lunchbox from the small kitchen and left the tavern.

When Chen Luo reappeared, he was in a restaurant that he didn't recognize.

The restaurant owner has been beheaded by Chen Luo with a single sword strike.

Incidentally, Chen Luo also obtained 5 primal stones, no, 5 crystals.

Chen Luo placed the dishes he had bought for 0.1 raw stones on the restaurant table and lit a candle he had found in the restaurant for a candlelight dinner.

Chen Luo also left a note.

"Goddess of Destiny, come and chase me! If you catch me, I'll let you have your way with me."

"Xiao Shi, do you think the other person would smash this lunchbox if they saw it?" Chen Luo asked.

"Given Durandal's personality, she wouldn't. She would only check if the thing is poisonous, but she would never eat it," the Herrscher of Knowledge said.

"Is that so? That sounds quite possible." Chen Luo nodded.

"Hmm? It seems we've covered almost 3 kilometers. We should go." Chen Luo sensed the small-range search talisman in his backpack that was already moving, then opened the restaurant door, walked out, and set off a firecracker into the sky.

Then, Chen Luo reopened the door and went into the bar.

Then, amidst Wendy and Yura's puzzled gazes, he opened the door again and reappeared atop the TV tower.

Chen Luo has already set the top of the TV tower as a fixed anchor point, so if he wants to change it in the future, he can reset it, so it's not a big problem.

The reason Chen Luo appeared in the restaurant earlier was because he entered the bar from the restaurant; his current appearance at the top of the tower is due to his use of a fixed anchor point.

Chen Luo jumped off the top of the TV tower again, flying in the opposite direction from the restaurant.

As long as there is a small-range locator talisman, then Yulandel will not be able to get within 3 kilometers of Chen Luo.

"Let's go check out the biggest gold shop in Changkong City." Chen Luo said to Xiao Xiaoshi while adjusting the flight angle, looking at the location of the gold shop marked on the mini-map of Changkong City that came with the talent panel.

In this collapsed apocalypse, money has lost all meaning for the people here.
