Money makes the world go round; he could just hire people to collect samples directly.

Anyway, the samples Mobius was talking about were just patients with Destruction Sickness, and Ye Chang'an could easily find those.

He could even induce the sickness in healthy people, since it could be cured anyway.

"Conducting experiments to get results is a long process, and it requires a lot of funding support. Can you provide it?" Mobius asked again.

"Just tell me how much funding you need, and I'll support you with everything I have."

Non-profit concerts could still make money even without ticket sales. In the internet age, live streaming could bring in a lot of money if it was popular.

Ye Chang'an was no longer poor.

"What about experimental facilities? If you can provide them, I'll help you research the Chang'an Melody," Mobius continued, essentially confirming her decision to switch employers.

After all, this was also a problem that could be solved with money.

Ye Chang'an smiled, stood up, and bowed ninety degrees, extending his hand to Mobius in an invitation.

"Dr. Mobius, I can meet any needs or conditions you have. Please help me research the Chang'an Melody."

Mobius also smiled, sitting upright and looking at the white-haired man bowing and requesting before her, her green eyes flashing with a slightly complex expression.

She was very satisfied with Ye Chang'an's attitude, but she also didn't quite understand him.

She didn't understand why he chose her, nor why he presented himself with such an attitude.

There were other experts and big names in the field of biology he could choose from, and he didn't need to be so sincerely earnest.

As a superstar, Ye Chang'an's current words and actions were very uncharacteristic of his status.

He could have solved this with money or status, but he insisted on winning her over with sincerity.

—Perhaps it was precisely because he was this kind of person that he could become a superstar.

Mobius recalled the so-called elites she had encountered in the past. None of them had achieved as much as Ye Chang'an, yet all of them were more arrogant.

She had seen too many hypocritical scumbags.

And Ye Chang'an before her… she actually quite liked him.

Working under someone like him would surely be very easy.

So, she smiled and stood up, also extending her hand to clasp Ye Chang'an's palm.

With a light smile, she asked another question.

"Mr. Chang'an, why do you want to research this?"

—To help civilization overcome the final trial.

This was the answer in Mobius's mind.

"For Eden."

This was the answer Ye Chang'an gave her.

Mobius was stunned.

She didn't understand love or aspire to it, so she couldn't comprehend the connection between loving someone and saving the world, let alone prioritizing the loved one over the world.

It seemed quite romantic, didn't it?

—I kind of want to date a man like this.

She smiled and secretly shook her head, teasingly saying, "If Miss Eden heard this, you'll have a very comfortable night."

"I'm comfortable every night,"

Ye Chang'an retorted with a smile, then sat back down and returned to the main topic.

"Regarding the research on the Chang'an Melody, I'd like to ask Dr. Mobius to start by..."

"From now on, I'm your employee. You can just call me Mobius," Mobius interrupted.

"Then you can call me Chang'an,"

Ye Chang'an accepted with a smile and then continued with the specific details of the research.

Mobius listened to all his requests, as this was a clear research direction, preventing them from just fumbling around blindly.

Furthermore, for comparison, Ye Chang'an also planned to teach her the Sword Heart Art.

They could take their time with it, no rush.

They talked until late into the night, and Mobius clearly showed signs of fatigue. Ye Chang'an promptly stopped talking and arranged for her to rest in a room.

She would share a room with Blanca, who was already asleep.

When Ye Chang'an returned to his own room, he found Eden on the bed, looking resentful.

"Finished talking?"

"Yes, finished talking."

Ye Chang'an nodded, sat on the edge of the bed, pulled Eden into his arms, and whispered an apology.

The whispered content at that time was to have Eden take Blanca to rest on their own, as he and Mobius had important matters to discuss.

Eden was gracious enough to leave, but she was definitely unhappy.

The fact that she had been waiting for him to return without sleeping was proof of that.

An apology was in order, and Eden accepted it; a deep kiss was proof of her forgiveness.

"Chang'an, let's go to sleep."

"Mm."

Ye Chang'an nodded and smiled, then was shocked to see Eden get out of bed to change her clothes. When she came out, she was wearing the same white lab coat as Mobius.

"(⊙o⊙)...This..."

He was dumbfounded, truly dumbfounded.

"Haha, how is it? Do I look good in it?"

Eden asked with a smile as she twirled around. Ye Chang'an nodded blankly.

With her looks and figure, Eden looked good in anything.

"Then let's sleep like this today, hee~"

Eden giggled, licked her lips, and pushed Ye Chang'an down.

Married couples, you know what it means when they say they're going to sleep.

It was just that this sudden impulse to cosplay was somewhat thought-provoking... and also suggestive.

After all, Mobius in her mature state wasn't much different from Eden in terms of figure, just a tiny bit smaller.

Chapter of Creation: Journey to a New World: 23. I Suspect You Are an Arbiter

Mobius jumped ship from Moth of the Fire, and she took her assistant Blanca with her.

When this girl heard that Mobius had switched jobs to work for Ye Chang'an, she begged to continue being Mobius's assistant without a second thought.

As a fan, she naturally wanted to be closer to her idol.

So, both of them became Ye Chang'an's employees. With substantial financial and human resources support, they quickly set up a laboratory and began their research.

Life was infinitely more comfortable than it was at Moth of the Fire.

After all, the composition of Moth of the Fire was a bit complicated, and the constant meddling from various factions was a headache.

Moreover, they couldn't even get experimental subjects recently.

On the other hand, with Ye Chang'an, she could just ask for whatever she wanted and get it as quickly as possible.

Even if she needed Ye Chang'an's assistance, he would immediately rush over with Eden.

Don't ask why he brought Eden; just know that someone was worried.

In short, Ye Chang'an had fulfilled his promise—he could meet any of her needs and conditions.

Therefore, Mobius's research went very smoothly, and she would even hum happily when she made progress.

She didn't dislike music as much anymore.

As for Ye Chang'an... he was very busy, extremely busy.

"Sigh, disasters have occurred in several places at once."

Ye Chang'an sighed helplessly as he browsed disaster news online.

There was only one Sleepless Chang'an, and they had no time to rest. After performing in one place, they had to rush to the next without delay.

If Mobius had more requests, he would be even busier.

He was spread too thin but had to handle everything personally.

Needless to say, Mobius's side was one thing, but the areas that had suffered Destruction disasters also needed Sleepless Chang'an to perform concerts.

This was because only Ye Chang'an and Eden could heal Destruction Sickness by playing the Chang'an Melody; the Chang'an Melody played by others had no effect and was merely a melody.

Furthermore, the Chang'an Melody could not be transmitted and take effect through the internet, further necessitating Sleepless Chang'an's personal involvement.

Ye Chang'an felt very helpless about this and hoped that Mobius's side would produce results as soon as possible.

He had indeed pushed himself to the absolute limit in his efforts to save civilization.

"Chang'an, come to my place for a moment."

Mobius called him.

"Got it, I'll be right there."

Ye Chang'an replied, glanced at the sleeping Eden, and went over alone.

Eden was very tired; he shouldn't disturb her.

Besides, he wouldn't mess around with other women behind Eden's back.

"Hi, Chang'an, you're here. Click~"

Blanca greeted him cheerfully and pulled out her phone for a photo. This girl's favorite thing was taking pictures with him whenever he visited the lab.

It was enough to make 99.99% of fangirls envious.

"Blanca, where's Mobius?"

"The Doctor is waiting for you in the courtyard, you can just head over there."

"Okay, thank you."

Ye Chang'an left in a hurry, and Blanca watched him go before happily flipping through the photos on her phone.

The album was filled with pictures of her and Ye Chang'an. Every time she looked through them, she'd smile with innocent delight.

A maiden's dreams, sometimes just looking at photos was enough to fulfill her fantasies.

Arriving at the courtyard, Mobius was sitting in a chair, basking in the sun. Ye Chang'an walked over and sat down opposite her.

"Mobius, do you need anything?"

He asked, and Mobius raised an eyelid to look at him.

"Aren't you with Eden?"

It was a little unusual; this was the first time she'd seen Ye Chang'an come alone.

"She was tired, so she's resting."
