The Classic Big-Sister Scenario

Liu Bai followed Mobius.

"By the way, are you expecting something?"

Mobius glanced at Liu Bai behind him with interest.

"I'm looking forward to it, but it certainly won't be those, right?"

"Hmm~" Mobius led Liu Bai into the laboratory.

"Good morning, senior lab rat."

In the rest room of the laboratory, Dan Zhu, full of energy, greeted Liu Bai's father.

"Good morning, Danzhu, have you finished your experiment? Weren't you supposed to record the data for 72 hours?"

"It's a shift. My sister just finished, and now it's Klein's turn."

Danzhu pointed to Cangxuan was drowsy beside him.

Hmm, it looks like these two little ones are still working.

Congratulations! Congratulations!

"Senior, are you here today to conduct an experiment with the Doctor?"

Chapter Seventy-Seven: Classic Big Sister Plot

"Obviously not."

"So, that means we're going to do something naughty?"

Danzhu looked at him with a mocking expression.

"Ahhh~ Is this something I can watch without paying?"

"..."

This shut-in girl suddenly started getting excited for no reason.

"Ignore her. I'll show her what cruelty is when I get paid."

Mobius curled his lip.

"Come here."

Danzhu's expression froze upon hearing this.

Withholding wages... well, she doesn't seem to care about money as much as her older sister.

However, in order to prepare for the figure that will be released next month, it seems like I should cut back on being a bit cheeky.

"Deduct wages!?" Cangxuan, who had just fallen asleep next to him, was startled awake upon hearing the words "deduct wages."

"It's deducting from my salary, it has nothing to do with you, sis."

Danzhu looked at her older sister, who had a headache on her face.

"That won't do! Danzhu, your money is my money!"

"Sis, you might as well drown yourself while hugging your little piggy bank!"

Mobius looked helplessly at the two sisters arguing over there. "It's so noisy, I might as well just fire them."

"Mmm." Bai nodded perfunctorily.

A classic case of someone with a sharp tongue but a soft heart.

It's possible that these two left on their own initiative, but expecting Mobius to fire them is just wishful thinking.

"... You think I wouldn't dare fire these two?"

Upon hearing Liu Bai's perfunctory tone, Mobius immediately raised his eyebrows, as if to say, "If you don't believe me, I'll show you."

"Um... then why don't you try firing me?" Bai stroked his chin. "Anyway, it's not like you're firing me."

"..."

Very good, a very strong reason.

This successfully dispelled Mobius's idea of "let's see how he gets fired."

But this feeling of being outdone whether you get fired or not is really unpleasant.

"Come here, lie down."

Mobius shook off his distracting thoughts, sat on the sofa, and patted his thigh.

"A lap pillow?" Bai seemed to understand what Mobius was going to do.

"Don't look so dissatisfied. As a guinea pig, I'm already pretty good to be treated like this—besides, this is probably the first time I've ever given someone a lap pillow."

Mobius raised an eyebrow after he finished speaking.

"Are you shy, little mouse?"

"... It cannot be denied that there is indeed a bit of that."

Liu Bai slowly sat down on the sofa and then lay down flat.

Hmm... This voluptuous feeling is something the future Mobius could never have.

"Saying one thing and doing another, you can't believe that... Well, I knew I wasn't wrong, you're quite interesting, little lab rat."

"Interesting? In what way?"

"Stirring up trouble? No, I should say I realized from the first moment I saw you, little lab rat, that you were no ordinary person?"

This is probably because of the maxed-out Charisma attribute...

"I think you'll understand... no, never mind, it's nothing, come on, give me a hand."

Mobius pulled out an ear pick from somewhere.

"A lap pillow paired with ear cleaning, this is truly the quintessential older sister storyline," Bai remarked.

"What's wrong? Don't you like this reward? But this is all we have."

"No, it's just that the reward is a little different from what I expected..."

Liu Bai obediently turned to lie on his side.

"Hmph, is this all the dreams of teenage boys?" Mebius's merciless mockery contrasted sharply with Wen Qirou's ear-picking gesture.

"There's nothing I can do about it. But speaking of which, how old are you today, the Doctor?"

"You said I + now" If we were to directly discuss this matter, Qi would dig out her ears and pierce her ears... huh...

"Ugh, please don't talk about such scary things. This is even scarier than the fan falling down on your head when you're in school."

"Then don't ask women about their age casually—even though I'm someone who doesn't care about age at all."

Mobius gave Liu Bai's earlobe a warning pinch.

Do you really not care?

Your reaction clearly shows that you care a lot!

This the Doctor can be quite unreasonable when he gets capricious...

"I'm saying, aren't you afraid I'll stick the ear pick in?"

"... I told you not to talk about such scary things, it really keeps people up at night."

"So you're afraid too?" Mobius asked, quite intrigued.

"Even if Lin knows you can't do it, just imagining that scene makes you feel a chill down your spine, isn't that perfectly normal?"

The more likely something is to happen in real life, the more chilling it becomes.

"For example, when I was a child, I was afraid that snakes would crawl out of the toilet because of the news."

"It seems that aliens' childhoods are not much different from those of Earthlings... You are also the first guinea pig I have met who did not look at me strangely during my experiments, and even took the initiative. I really wonder what you are thinking."

Liu Bai's initial interest in Mobius may have been fleeting, but after discovering that Liu Bai was genuinely not opposed to experiments using him as a sample, Mobius became truly interested.

"Ah, actually, I sometimes think about it too..."

"Stop it. Let's not talk about those absurd or even scientifically insulting fantasies."

"..."

It was completely predicted.

"Come on, turn over~"

"You're really something, going in in the morning and not coming out until the afternoon. I thought you were boiled in soup by the Highlord."

As soon as Liu Bai left the laboratory, he encountered Natasha and her two companions, along with Gray Serpent, who were resting in chairs.

Natasha mercilessly mocked Liu Bai.

"Stop talking nonsense. Didn't you and Little Gui peek through the door? I saw you two before I fell asleep."

Liu Bai rolled her eyes at Natasha.

"... I'm sorry, I couldn't stop them."

Kujou Sara apologized earnestly from the side.

Guinaifen looked around nervously—she and Natasha had not only been peeping through the crack in the door, but they had also been secretly taking pictures.

I'm just killing time... so I'm going to show this to Firefly?

Guinaifen felt that she had recently become a bit obsessed with persecuting Firefly.

Is this what they call vengefulness?

No, no, Little Gui! You're not such a petty woman!

... But the expressions that Firefly makes when it comes to things related to her Boss Liu are really interesting.

Persecution can be addictive.

Hmm... I guess it's not a good idea to do it this way.

Guinaifen felt guilty and reflected on her actions.

"The Spirit Alliance has nothing to do with V Kujou." Bai found a quiet place to sit down. "Now it should still be possible to set up tactics, Mr. Gray Serpent, thank you for your help."

"This is the first time I've ever seen someone rest their head on the Highlord's lap... I can tell the Highlord's legs are obviously numb, but he didn't move you away."

Natasha was still complaining.

Gray Serpent, expressionless, projected a map of the entire Sky Dome Zone onto the table in front of him.

"This area is the West Suburbs, and it is also the area with the lowest population density in the Sky Dome Zone. There is enough space for you all to fight."

Gray Serpent paused for a moment, waiting for everyone present to process the map, before pointing to an area.

"We plan to deploy several Honkai zombie here to lure Kiana."

"What about the success rate? Will Kiana even show up?"

"Yes, La Signora. Yelan will make a request to Kiana during this period. As long as Kiana doesn't get lost, the success rate of the initial plan is not a problem at all."

As long as you don't get lost...

Liu Bai and Guinaifen exchanged a knowing glance.

Sorry, they've both been a bit stressed about getting lost lately.

"... Is there a problem?" Gray Serpent was somewhat confused by the two people's reactions.

"Gray Serpent, couldn't you have taken getting lost into account as well?"

After thinking for a moment, Liu Bai still offered his opinion.

"If we just place it at the main entrance of the Chamber of Commerce, we can completely eliminate the possibility of getting lost, right?"

"This would affect the Chamber of Commerce's business, so La Signora. Yelan rejected the proposal."

If efficiency were the priority, Gray Serpent even considered throwing the Honkai zombie directly into the merchant guild, but unfortunately, they couldn't.

"Oh... it seems the Chamber of Commerce has indeed been facing a lot of troubles lately..."
