Joyce and Wendy were taken aback by what they heard.

Using the bodies of Herrscher of a Thousand to develop a drug? To be honest, doesn't that sound a bit inhumane?

Okay, let's not talk about inhumanity with the Herrscher of a Thousand.

Joyce and Wendy both had expressions on their faces that said, "I don't quite understand, but it sounds really impressive."

As for inquiring... sorry, they have absolutely no desire to have anything to do with mad scientists.

"Okay, I guarantee I'll finish the task by the weekend... no, by the day after tomorrow."

Capturing him alive would be incredibly easy for Joyce Herrscher of Reason can manipulate anything with her bare hands.

It wouldn't be difficult to conjure up a giant iron ball out of thin air and put a Herrscher of a Thousand inside it.

After finishing their business, Joyce started chatting about family matters.

"By the way, Brother Liu Bai, if you don't mind, could you tell me who the girl in your arms is right now?"

When Joyce saw that Liu Bai was holding a cat-eared girl, he felt like the sky had fallen.

Why isn't Dr. Einstein sitting in their Alliance Leader's lap? Instead, it's some cat head that seems to have appeared out of nowhere.

It's cute, but something's not right! Even if it were Dr. Tesla in a shy state sitting on it, that would be nice!

"Oh, I forgot to tell you, the Flame-Chasers of the Previous Era have awakened, and she is one of them—'Pet' Pardo."

"Huh? Aren't we just dreaming?"

Go eat your food.

"Oh..."

Pardo lowered her head again, looking somewhat confused.

"A pet?" Joyce fell silent.

He really wants to say that none of his family members are doing as well as their pet.

What kind of nonsense is this?

Joyce silently noted down the picture of the cat-eared girl sitting in Liu Bai.

"On another note, was Kevin's departure due to this?"

"You could say it's somewhat related," Liu Bai said calmly. "Essentially, it's about him paying off a debt."

"Okay, it sounds like something from the Previous Era."

Joyce didn't care much about Kevin, since they didn't need another pure fighter like him.

But how did my own place get robbed?

I was originally thinking of developing Kevin's relationship with my network and seeing if I could make him an informant, but now it seems that guy might be in trouble himself.

"Then I'll hang up now."

"Okay, then I won't disturb your work any longer."

After hanging up Liu Bai's call, Joyce did not immediately get back to work, but instead made a video call to Tesla.

A moment later, the call was answered, and Tesla, dressed in thick work clothes, appeared in front of Joyce: "Joyce? What brings you to call me?"

Tesla was slightly taken aback, never expecting that it was Joyce who was calling him.

"Are you missing any weapons? I happen to have some new design blueprints here..."

"No, no, there's something else."

Joyce quickly called out to Tesla, who was rummaging through things.

"Dr. Tesla! I've discovered a huge secret!"

"Huh? A big secret?" Tesla raised an eyebrow. "What is it? Tell me?"

Although Joyce was an Einstein supporter, Joyce actually had a good relationship with Tesla, since they all lived with Liu Bai back then and were roommates.

So when Tesla heard Joyce come to share the secret, a curious expression immediately appeared on his face.

"Doctor! Liu Bai called me. I found out he's having an affair! Look!"

Joyce held up the photograph she had just created.

"She's snuggling in Liu Bai's arms; who knows, they might be feeding each other mouth-to-mouth over the phone!"

"What the hell!?"

Tesla's twin tails started shaking.

"How could he do this! In broad daylight! Shameless!"

Tesla blushed instantly, and for a moment Joyce couldn't tell whether Tesla was blushing from anger or embarrassment.

"Yeah, how could Brother Liu Bai do that! Before hanging up, he told me not to tell anyone he was in Sister Reanna's room." Joyce also looked indignant.

Why did Joyce, a member of the Einstein Party, approach Tesla first?

That's why we need someone to scout ahead!

Of course, as a friend, Joyce wouldn't actually swindle Tesla, although... well, although it's using Tesla stepping stone, if handled properly, it could also be an opportunity to build goodwill!

For example, you could first criticize him, then casually suggest "let me sit down too," and if Dr. Tesla had the guts, you could go straight into feeding play... However, in Joyce's opinion, Dr. Tesla would never have the guts to do that.

If it were Dr. Einstein, the plot would definitely have progressed to this point.

The relationship between Einstein and Tesla is like that of two Seele. The Dark Seele seems unrestrained, but when it comes to really dirty talk, the White Seele can outdo ten of them.

It's not that Joyce looked down on Tesla, but to be honest, if Liu Bai hadn't been a ghost back then, and there were only N choices, it would most likely have been a choice between Einstein and Planck, and everyone else would have had to hide in a corner and cry.

In terms of "good women in a strange sense," Planck and Einstein are practically the only ones who can pass on this lineage, representing the pinnacle of the Anti-Entropy doctors' abilities.

"Still in Reanna's room!?" Tesla felt like his brain was about to explode. "Alright! I'll treat you to dinner next time I come back! I'm going to catch them cheating right now!"

Tesla quickly removed the video.

"I have a feeling that Mr. Joyce is doing something very unethical."

Anna, who had watched the whole thing, turned to look at Wendy.

Anna and Wendy, having emerged from their inner demons, were already quite familiar with each other, so they spoke without any reservations.

"Don't think so, it is." Wendy turned her head to the side, as a model student, she disliked this matter.

"Ahem! Get to work, Wendy, Anna, you two go to Sector C and wait for them to come to you." Joyce looked embarrassed after being teased by the two girls, but then she became indifferent.

He's over sixty years old, and all he has is a thick skin. You can't survive without it.

Didn't you see that he didn't ask Tesla to cover for him?

Anyway, once this matter is reviewed, it's undeniable that he's involved. What need is there for cover-ups?

As long as I'm thick-skinned enough, I'm invincible!

"Einstein—!"

Wearing his work clothes, Tesla barged rudely into Einstein's office.

"Good afternoon, Dr. Tesla. What brings you here to see Dr. Einstein?" Einstein asked casually as he continued writing at his desk.

"There's no time to explain! Come with me!"

Tesla gave Einstein no time to react, pulling Einstein from his seat, tucking him under his arm, and rushing out.

"Wait! I haven't finished calculating yet—"

Einstein, unusually, showed a look of astonishment.

However, as the saying goes, how could someone sitting in an office possibly compete with frontline engineers like those at Tesla?

Einstein was being held under Tesla's arm, patted Tesla a few times before realizing he couldn't break free. So he could only enjoy the swaying of the "Tesla" while slowly taking out a chocolate from his chest pocket and putting it in his mouth.

Tesla was fast on his feet, and in just ten minutes, Tesla rushed from the experimental site to the stairwell where Reanna's dormitory was located.

"It's a shame Dr. Tesla didn't become an athlete."

Seeing Tesla lying on the ground panting like a dead dog, Einstein calmly straightened his clothes.

Dormitory...

Einstein looked thoughtful, took out hairspray and a small mirror from his pocket, and tidied up his messy, unkempt hair.

"So, what caused Dr. Tesla to unleash human potential?"

"Reanna... Reanna's dorm room!"

Tesla regained some strength and, after composing himself, replied.

"Liu Bai is sneaking food behind our backs again!"

"Oh...?" Einstein tilted his head. "Who is the other party?"

"A girl I don't even know! Wearing cat ears and sitting on a man's lap, what kind of good person could she be!"

"Cat ears..."

Einstein looked around and then pulled out a blue cat-ear headband and put it on his head.

Then cup your hands together like cat paws and hold them in front of your chest.

"Meow~~—Is this one?"

"You you you you you—!"

Tesla stared in horror at Einstein was now dressed as a cat.

Just kidding, for a moment she actually found Einstein quite adorable.

"How come you're so skilled at this!"

"That's nothing. Dr. Einstein also kept gloves, bells, pockets, a red nose, and other such items in his office."

"... Wait a minute, what kind of cat costume needs a pocket and a red nose?" Tesla was a little overloaded, causing his question to stray from the topic.

She never expected that Einstein would have such a side to him... especially since Tesla, a proud and stubborn person who was good at finding fault, actually thought Einstein was really suitable.

"Just kidding, it's actually a very normal cat paw glove, collar and bell... no, let's just pretend Dr. Einstein didn't say anything."

Einstein, somewhat disappointed, shifted his gaze away from Tesla, who had completely missed the point.

"I think the collar is also abnormal!" Tesla felt that the physical strength he had finally managed to recover was rapidly disappearing again.

"Forget it! Let's not dwell on these things! Let's go see Liu Bai first!"

Tesla had known Einstein for so many years; he wouldn't be so easily swayed by Einstein.

"I'd like to see who has the audacity to steal food now! If I find out, I'll definitely teach her a lesson with my flaming sword!"

Einstein completely ignored the indignant Tesla, adjusted his cat ears, and struck a cute pose in front of the mirror with a blank expression.

Meow~~

Very good, in good condition.

Chapter 484 The Round Between Einstein and Tesla

Should I... not have brought Einstein with me?

Tesla watched as Einstein, who was already engrossed in meowing like a cat in front of the mirror, fell into deep thought.

She brought Einstein along mainly to bolster her courage, since Tesla had absolutely no experience in catching someone cheating... Rita, a veteran who led a group to clear dungeons, obviously couldn't be considered an expert.

Moreover, Tesla was completely unprepared to yell at Liu Bai.

She's fine yelling at Edison and Einstein, but asking her to yell at Liu Bai... Tesla was a little reluctant. She's just a bit rough around the edges, not a real tomboy.

To be honest, Tesla might have been the softest of these scientists.

"Do you have any wine?" Tesla felt he couldn't go on like this.

I need to have a drink.

As for the claim that alcohol emboldens cowards, Tesla admits it.

So what if she's a coward!
