Strange Knowledge Transfer in Progress

However, Blanca gave a subtle look. "Ahem... Aili, just put her down. This child can run and jump, so there's no need to carry her all the time."

"If you won't hug me, I will." Mobius jumped out, intercepted Gretel halfway, and pulled her into his arms. "Hey, little girl, do you know who I am?"

"Aunt Mobius."

Gretel answered calmly in a childlike voice.

The more Mobius looked at the girl's expression, the more he liked her.

"By the way, Gretel, would you like to learn from Aunt Mobius?"

Chapter 399 Strange Knowledge Infusion

"Are you really planning to harm my daughter?" Blanca looked at the scene before her speechlessly.

However, Blanca wasn't worried at all about her daughter being fooled by Mobius. After all, as her mother, Blanca knew her shy and obedient daughter very well.

If she encounters a problem, Gretel's first reaction is definitely to ask herself, as a mother, for help.

As expected, Gretel looked at her mother with pleading eyes.

However... what followed was the dangerous gaze of Mobius's cold, serpentine eyes.

If you dare refuse, you're dead meat.

Sensing the threat posed by the Mobius experiment, Blanca fell silent.

So, who should I, as a mother, turn to for help?

Blanca looked helpless.

Blanca really wanted to tell Doctor that if he wanted to play around, he could have his own babies, but considering that saying so might provoke Mobius even more, Blanca held back.

"Well... it's fine for Gretel to learn from you, Doctor, as long as you don't teach Gretel any weird or strange things."

Blanca eventually gave in.

However, Mobius rolled his eyes at Blanca. What does it mean to be ungrateful after getting a good deal? Blanca is a perfect example.

She wouldn't teach others even when they begged her. If it weren't for Su's sweet talk and status, she would have sent Su elsewhere to learn on her own long ago.

Moreover, Sue has already made a name for herself by learning her own medical skills, and now she's planning to raise little Gretel as her successor. To put it bluntly, Blanca is making a killing.

"What do you mean by 'don't teach weird things'? Do you think I'm a weird person in your eyes, Blanca?"

While teasing Gretel, Mobius rolled his eyes at Blanca.

Yes, it's strange... As the person who knew Mobius best before Klein, Blanca nodded silently to herself.

Of course, she didn't think Mobius was strange like others did because of some rumors about Mobius; rather, she was saying... about her own doctor's current state of mind.

To say that he was love-struck is obviously inaccurate, since Mobius's IQ didn't drop at all.

But if you say she isn't, she'll still manage to steer the conversation towards romance from time to time.

Blanca was genuinely worried that her sweet little Gretel would have her views on love distorted by Mobius.

Blanca wasn't worried about his worldview, since Mobius was self-aware enough not to spread it around carelessly—if Mobius hadn't been self-aware, he would already be a terrifying antisocial scientist.

"Eh... she was just kidnapped like that." Elysia smiled as she watched this scene. "I think it wouldn't be bad for Gretel to learn from Eden and debut as an idol."

Nobody paid any attention to Elysia's nonsense.

Becoming an idol... Unless you can achieve Eden's "art in itself," in today's social climate, anyone who does it will be doomed.

"Enough with the useless nonsense, Aili." Mobius looked at Elysia sternly. "Now, please leave."

"Hey! How can you kick us out like that! Aren't we best friends?"

"... Who said you're my best friend!"

Mobius felt a pang in his heart. The term "good sister" wasn't entirely wrong, really.

But Mobius vehemently denied it—admitting it would make her feel like she was degrading herself.

"Doctor is too arrogant~?" Elysia looked at Mobius with a smile.

"Get out of here! I don't want to repeat myself!"

(Are you shy now?)

(She's shy.)

(She was definitely shy.)

The trio of Su, Danzhu, and Klein simultaneously cursed in their hearts.

"Okay, then I'm going to find Liu Bai to play with!"

"... You should stay."

After a brief silence, Mobius opted for a compromise.

"Pour yourself whatever you want to drink."

Rather than letting this girl seduce Liu Bai, it's better to let her continue to cause trouble for herself here.

This is what is meant by choosing the lesser of two evils.

"Hmm~" Elysia found a seat with practiced ease. "By the way, Doctor, speaking of little Gretel, will you be having babies or laying eggs in the future?"

"..."

Everyone present fell silent without prior agreement.

Elysia is probably the only one who would dare to ask such a question directly. Even if someone else were more difficult, they might not be able to ask such a question... and even a normal person might not think of this aspect.

"If it's an egg-laying operation, does it need to be incubated? Should the doctor incubate it himself, or should an incubator be used? Will the newly hatched babies mistake the first person they see for their mother?"

Elysia, completely oblivious to the tense atmosphere, continued to bombard the audience with questions with great enthusiasm.

Mobius's vision went black.

Yes, literally, it means everything goes black.

As expected of Elysia, her ability to jump between ideas is simply amazing...

"... I only incorporated a small amount of genes! It doesn't mean I turned into a snake!"

Mobius spat out each word through gritted teeth.

"I won't lay eggs or incubate them, and the baby won't hatch! And you even have to recognize a mother... Are you trying to steal my daughter or son in the future?"

Mobius answered the first few questions with a dark face, but when it came to the last question, Mobius suddenly realized that Elysia had ulterior motives and actually wanted to steal his child to play with. Was there no law at all?

Blanca looked up at the pristine white ceiling and couldn't help but sigh.

Elysia wasn't intimidated at all, and replied in her usual playful voice, "Aren't we best friends~"

However, to be fair, Elysia was also quite worried about reproduction, after all, the union of Herrscher and a human... was unheard of.

Although Elysia pretends to be a normal, beautiful human girl all day long, she can't deny that there are some differences in her nature.

It wasn't so bad before, but seeing Gretel, a real member of the next generation, Elysia couldn't help but start thinking about this issue.

Well, actually, even "half-human, half-beast" beings like Fusion Warrior might not have as high a reproductive capacity as she, the "Herrscher of Human"...

Elysia only casually asked about the child snatching incident; what she was really curious about were the first few questions.

Like Mobius laying eggs or something, just thinking about it is pretty exciting...

Well, it's quite exciting to snatch Mobius's kids to play with in itself.

"But speaking of which, Dr. Mobius, your answer was quite forceful... Could it be that you've already secretly had a medical check-up, Doctor??"

Elysia wore a teasing expression.

Although I was just trying to tease you, your answer is really problematic!

When the others present heard what Elysia said, they all had a look of sudden realization on their faces—that's right, you only finished the experiment a few days ago, how can you be so sure?

When the group looked at him, Mobius blushed, a rare sight for him, in front of his subordinates and juniors.

As someone who joked about her cloaca right after surgery, did she focus on checking for any fertility issues during her physical examination?

"Are you all just hoping I'll lay an egg?!"

Enraged, Mobius glared at the group, a threatening glint in his eyes.

"Actually, everyone is still somewhat interested, right?" Elysia crossed her arms and looked at the furious Mobius with a smile, clearly enjoying his expression.

The next moment, Elysia for a moment, took out her phone from her pocket, and pointed the camera at Mobius.

"Come on, Doctor, have a cheese!"

"You big idiot!"

Unable to bear it any longer, Mobius put Gretel down and leaped towards Elysia.

"Delete it!"

"Don't be so stingy! I'll only share with Liu Bai... maybe add a small group with Eden at most!" Elysia easily dodged Mobius's attack.

"Even Liu Bai won't do—and you guys even have a small group!?"

"Haha... Xiaoqun has quite a lot to say."

Elysia explained as she casually slammed Mobius, who was lunging at her again, to the ground.

Although Liu Bai is the core of their circle, there are many smaller sub-circles that can be formed outside of him.

There are small groups for students, small groups for ELM (Elastic Learning) members, small groups for team leaders, small groups for these two experimental departments... and if we go into more detail, there are also groups for close female friends and such...

Well, not counting the group that Vil-V created on her own alternate account, Elysia would have called her crazy for doing that.

"Dr. Mobius must have been secretly creating a private group chat behind my back, right?"

"Hmm..." Mobius had just been questioning me so confidently, silently turned his head away.

Of course she did, since there's no conflict between her good relationship with Elysia and her seeing Elysia's headaches.

"Hmm... Could it be that Dr. Mobius, Eden, and Hua also have a small group?"

As a woman who knows how to navigate social situations, Elysia only needed a moment's thought to guess who Mobius had been secretly chatting with behind her back.

Who can blame Mobius for not having many friends? Besides those few work groups, who else can he be in a group with? Just himself, Eden, and Hua.

As for Danzhu Cangxuan, although the relationship is okay, once you add them, it's practically no different from a work group...

"... You've never used your brain for anything worthwhile."

Mobius sighed, which was tantamount to acknowledging Elysia's statement.

Isn't it normal that your best friends don't include Elysia in their group chat? It's because Elysia is always making a ruckus.

"I'm heartbroken. I'm going to create a couples' group chat with Liu Bai and everyone else, but I won't include Dr. Mobius!"

Elysia puffed up her cheeks in a huff.

"Then they'll show off their love and flirt every day, and then forward it to you, Doctor!"

"... I won't play such childish games with you."

After a while, Mobius realized he had no chance of getting the phone, and sat back down, muttering to himself in frustration.

Actually, she felt that Elysia didn't need to go through all that trouble. Generally speaking, Elysia being with Liu Bai was enough to give a bunch of people a headache, since Elysia's personality was just too aggressive.

As for the relatively low defense... when Elysia and Liu Bai are together and Alicia needs to use her defense, that's already a great success for Elysia.

To put it bluntly, this group of people was actually attacking Liu Bai, since Liu Bai had taken the initiative to attack... Of course, if Liu Bai had taken the initiative to attack someone, the others would have exploded too.

"To be honest..." Blanca, who had been watching from the sidelines, finally couldn't hold back any longer, "Could you two please keep this kind of topic away from the children?"

Blanca couldn't help but watch Gretel, who had been quietly being held in Mobius's arms again, being held back by him.

My daughter's strength is that she's quiet, but that's also her weakness. If she were a naughty child, she would show up the next day if she learned something strange, making it easier for parents to correct her.

But with a child like Gretel who never speaks and is always quietly lost in thought, you have no idea what you've unintentionally taught her, and it might be too late to correct it later.

"Uh..." Mobius and Elysia both looked at the expressionless little Gretel at the same time, and fell silent without prior agreement.

It seems... that's indeed the case.

"Ahem, little Gretel, don't take what the aunties said to heart."

"What aunties, they're sisters!" Elysia corrected. "They're not that old."
