Mobius did not care about having her funding deducted. No matter how much funding she had, there was nothing she particularly wanted to enjoy anyway.
But Chen Luo actually dared to beat up Fire Moth higher-ups over that reason.
That was genuinely bold.
And he was bold and resourceful, too.
At least he knew to go find Vill-V instead of going up there to beat people alone.
But this also proved that Chen Luo was serious.
"How about a month in solitary confinement?" Dr. Mei said after hesitating for a moment.
Dr. Mei did not have decisive authority among Fire Moth's higher-ups, but she still had some influence.
Dr. Mei had not spoken up solely because of her personal relationship with Chen Luo. Chen Luo's contributions to Fire Moth were indeed considerable.
"No!" The higher-up whose face had been hit was vehemently opposed.
"Exactly," someone echoed.
But before the supported higher-up could rejoice, another higher-up spoke.
"If he gets locked up for a month, who will perform the fusion surgeries? You? My fusion surgery cooldown is about to expire. Maybe next time I'll become a Flame-Chaser." Higher-up Cannon Fodder No. 1 said.
"I knew you only cared about that damn fusion surgery!"
"Like you don't want to become a Flame-Chaser. As long as you choose Honkai Beast genes with weaker combat ability and no obvious external traits, you can live normally like an ordinary person while possessing immense power and endless life..."
...That was it.
It had to be said that the ability Chen Luo had chosen for himself perfectly grasped the little thoughts of these Fire Moth higher-ups.
The more powerful and influential someone was, the less they wanted Chen Luo to come to harm.
At least before social order completely collapsed, these powerful people were still quite useful.
