The Researcher Being Studied in Mobius's Lab

Honkai is meant to filter civilizations, not individuals, especially since the person answering this question was someone else taking it for them.

"In short, unless absolutely necessary, don't take off this necklace, so you won't not have enough Honkai energy revive after you die."

"So, this necklace is actually a life-saving item?" Mobius asked lazily, tilting his head slightly.

"You could say that."

"Hmm, little white mouse, you're so nice to me... are you pursuing me? Like courtship behavior in humans? Actually, I don't dislike you at all." Having received a clear answer, Mobius smiled even more happily, and her smile became even more ambiguous.

"Emmm, you're overthinking it, Aunt Mobius." Chen Luo used his hand to push away Mobius's increasingly close face.

"Ah, Auntie?" Mobius's face visibly darkened.

"Jingle!"

"The Doctor? Is the Doctor here? The appointed time has arrived." The wind chimes rang, and a green-haired figure in a white lab coat walked in, calling out in a calm tone.

"Klein! Alright, you're finally here. Hurry up and take your the Doctor away!" Chen Luo shouted as soon as he saw Klein.

Chen Luo finally understood one thing: even Mobius was somewhat concerned about age.

"...It seems the Doctor isn't here. Come back in 10 minutes." Klein glanced at Chen Luo and Mobius, who was standing on a stool and grabbing Chen Luo's collar. After a pause, she walked toward the door that was not closed.

Okay, I'll come back in 10 minutes.

"They just released a new milk tea, QQ Nipple Milk Tea! It's super good!" Chen Luo shouted at Klein's retreating figure.

"Ah, the Doctor, you're here." Klein stood at the door with her back to Chen Luo and Mobius, but after three seconds she finally turned around and walked towards them.

Chapter 162 The Researchers in the Mei Biu Si Laboratory

"Klein, what kind of milk tea would you like to drink today?"

"Uh, it's that super delicious milk tea you were talking about earlier, something like 'So Delicious'," Klein said, rubbing her temples in annoyance.

I only managed to pick up the Doctor student after finishing most of my work, so my mind was a bit overworked and I naturally didn't remember all the names of the milk teas Chen Luo mentioned.

[Ding! You have a new request!]

"Oh, you mean QQ Nipple Milk Tea?" Chen Luo suddenly realized.

"Yes, that's it. I'd like a cup, please." Hearing such a long name Klein was indeed a bit of a headache.

"What kind of drink?"

"It's that thing you just mentioned... Yi... It's so delicious, oh my..." Klein's mind was a bit of a mess.

"Alright, alright, I'm just teasing you. Next time, try to stay up less and work less overtime. You'll ruin your health if you keep doing this. I added something special to this milk tea for you, you're welcome." Chen Luo pulled a cup of milk tea from under the bar and patted it on Klein's forehead.

"Ah!" The sudden attack made Klein tremble.

[Ding! Mission complete]

"That's true, but there's a lot of work. Also, Researcher Chen Luo, when can you start working at the research institute?" Klein looked at Chen Luo expectantly after taking the milk tea.

"Besides, shouldn't you, store manager, have some knowledge of medical theories and common sense?"

Klein desperately needs someone to help her with the workload.

"Uh, well... it might take a little more time," Chen Luo said somewhat awkwardly.

Chen Luo remembered that in order to join the Fire Moth, he did ask Mobius to give him an identity in the laboratory, which now seemed to be a researcher or assistant or something like that.

But Chen Luo has been really busy lately, busy saving the world.

To be honest, Chen Luo has been encountering quite a few special guests lately, so Chen Luo's been busy completing his commissions.

Chen Luo's schedule has been quite full lately. First, he needs to rescue Tevyat tomorrow morning, and then find Ying's brother, Kong, within the same day and try to arrange for them to meet. As for what happens after they meet, that's not Chen Luo's business, and Chen Luo can't control it.

Then on the second day, they had to think about whether or not to go to World Serpent, since Chen Luo had promised Raven to go to World Serpent within 5 days.

Next, we'll have to deal with the Herrscher Core. After all, Chen Luo always felt that Herrscher Core and the Herrscher Core in Schicksal's hands would only cause people suffering, so it would be better for him to keep them himself.

Of course, Chen Luo would definitely be compensated for what he did, such as helping Otto revive Kallen. For Otto, these gems are not as important as reviving Kallen, so it's not a big problem.

The exact timeframe for their resurrection is uncertain.

This takes up three days, and it's uncertain whether other individuals will post commissions within those three days.

This summer vacation is even more tiring than when Chen Luo was in school.

Moreover, each of the three-day events could potentially extend from one day to two or even three days.

"And Klein, if I went to Mobius's lab, all I could do was avoid causing you trouble. As for how much work I could help you with, that would be a real problem. Because I'm very busy myself," Chen Luo said with a hint of helplessness.

"Sigh!" Klein sighed heavily.

Klein desperately wanted an angel to save him, or at least help reduce his workload by a tenth.

[Ding! You have a new request!]

[Klein's Angel]: The arrival of a researcher can reduce Klein's workload in the research lab by at least 10% for at least a week.

Rewards: 200 Primogem + 30 Klein Affinity + Random Items.

"But don't worry, Klein, I will definitely help you. This is my promise to you," Chen Luo said sincerely.

"Oh, really? If possible, please do it as soon as possible." Klein looked at Chen Luo with gratitude.

"Hmm. Why would I lie to you? Also, if you want milk tea anytime, just summon the bar. You don't have to come here only when you're looking for Mobius. You're welcome to have milk tea anytime between 8:00 PM and 12:00 AM. Of course, you can also take it away. Our bar's milk tea is very well sealed and has a shelf life of up to two days without any loss of taste."

"Really? Then give me four cups, no, eight cups of milk tea." Klein looked at Chen Luo expectantly.

[Ding! You have a new request!]

"Can you finish all this?" Chen Luo asked while preparing milk tea for Klein.

"Two cups a day is fine. But since I've started drinking, I can't drink it all by myself," Klein said honestly.

"Are there only four people in your research lab?" Chen Luo asked curiously upon hearing this.

When Chen Luo watched the short film "Mobius's Laboratory" before, he felt something was strange. Although Chen Luo had never participated in the research lab and had not heard of or understood it much, were four people a bit too few?

"Well, that's quite a lot. After all, Doctor Mobius's experiments are notorious... cough cough, the selection process is very strict, everyone is an elite, so the number is very small." Klein paused for a moment before saying this rather reluctantly.

Klein couldn't very well say that the experiment she was in was infamous, known as the "Devil's Lab," or that it was devoid of humanity, could it? Wouldn't that mean she'd driven away the only researcher who seemed relatively reliable?

"..." Well, you Klein, with your thick eyebrows and big eyes, actually know how to lie.

Chen Luo rolled his eyes at Klein and then packed the eight cups of milk tea into a bag.

However, Chen Luo didn't intend to criticize Klein, since Klein in Mobius's laboratory was indeed a bit of a struggle.

Although Chen Luo accepted Klein's mission, he didn't say when he would go. Missions are something you accept first and then figure out later. What if it expires?

"Klein, give Chen Luo a good beating!" Mobius muttered, being supported by Klein.

"... What did you do to offend the Doctor?" Klein asked curiously.

"Ahem, that's a secret. Anyway, Möbius will forget about it once he sobers up, so let's not talk about it. Bye-bye, take care." Chen Luo waved to Möbius.

Seeing Chen Luo looking somewhat timid, Klein sighed and helped Mobius slowly walk out of the bar. However, when passing by the Book of Book of Cang Xuan, he took another look at it.

After all, this Book of Cang Xuan really does look somewhat like Cang Xuan, and there is a Cang Xuan in Mobius's laboratory.

Fortunately, Klein's thinking and imagination were not broad enough, so he did not make any connection between the two.

Furthermore, at this point in time, the technology for Armed Puppet has not yet been developed.

So Klein was just curious, and didn't suspect anything.

"That just now... could it have been Mobius and Klein?" After watching Klein take Mobius away and close the door, Book of Cang Xuan, who had been silently observing everything without saying a word, finally spoke.

Book of Cang Xuan wasn't stupid either. In the crowded situation just now, he naturally couldn't shout. And now, Venti was the only outsider in the entire bar, and he was already drunk, so there was no need to worry.

"That's right, it's the Mobius and Klein you're imagining." The Herrscher of Knowledge nodded from the side.

"I never imagined that your bar could not only connect to Different World, but also to different timelines. It's amazing," Book of Cang Xuan exclaimed.

"But then I'm very curious about something: if you changed the past, what would the future be like?" Book of Cang Xuan asked.

"It's probably that the big picture remains the same, but the details change," said the Herrscher of Knowledge after secretly taking a small fox's fried tofu and putting it in her mouth.

"Eek!" The little fox began to bare its teeth at the Herrscher of Knowledge.

"Smack!" The Herrscher of Knowledge flicked the little fox on the head, leaving it dazed, and then snatched a fried tofu.

From the perspective of the Herrscher of Knowledge, since there are so many fried tofu pieces and the other party can't finish them all, it's only to help them by eating a few.

The Herrscher of Knowledge has changed your mind, and now you think the Herrscher of Knowledge is a good person.

"Actually, there are examples in reality. For instance, the only example we know of that had its outcome changed is the Twelfth Herrscher. In my original memory, the Twelfth Herrscher's final fate wasn't good, but in reality, she was sent by Alo to the Elysian Realm to reunite with her sister," the Herrscher of Knowledge said while eating fried tofu.

"Huh, just this one example?" Book of Cang Xuan was surprised.

"It's been so long, and you've only come into contact with anything from Previous Era once? What have you been doing all this time?"

"You, a newly awakened Armed Puppet, have no right to say that. But then again, I still don't understand whether the cause came first and then the effect, or the effect came first and then the cause," the Herrscher of Knowledge muttered.

"Emmm, I don't understand." Book of Cang Xuan shook his head.

"In other words, I have absolutely no memory of Chen Luo, so why does Ling know Chen Luo? It doesn't make sense that Ling knows Chen Luo but Hua doesn't," said the Herrscher of Knowledge, expressing his doubts.

"Is the current Honkai Impact 3rd World the result of Chen Luo's numerous alterations, or does the world line change every time Chen Luo makes an action that alters it?"

"What if something like this happens? We can hear the legends of Cang Xuan and Danzhu when we go to the Honkai Impact 3rd World today. But if Chen Luo goes to the Previous Era and kills Cang Xuan and Danzhu tomorrow, we won't hear the legends of Cang Xuan and Danzhu when we go to the Honkai Impact 3rd World the day after tomorrow?"

"Uh, that's probably not true, and please don't say anything so terrifying, okay?" Book of Cang Xuan suddenly felt that he had lost his appetite for snacks.

After all, he was created by Cang Xuan and Danzhu.

"So I think this world is the result of several minor alterations by Aro, which is why Ling has a Childhood Fun Park. But Aro didn't really change much, or he only changed things that wouldn't affect the course of the world, so it doesn't have much impact on the current timeline," said the Herrscher of Knowledge.

Those Herrscher of Knowledge doubt that Chen Luo, given his personality, would openly and ostentatiously alter the Previous Era, since Chen Luo first encountered the people of the current civilization and then the people of the Previous Era.

If Chen Luo were to allow the Previous Era to continue, then everything in the current civilization would be completely destroyed.

Destroying a thriving world is a huge burden for Chen Luo.

Or rather, this applies to anyone with a conscience.

Especially in this world, you still have your friends.

But not making changes is also impossible.

Didn't you see that Chen Luo has already made changes today? He even gave away the necklace made with the Honkai Core. If Klein dies too, then we can only blame it on the convergence of world lines.

"What are you two discussing? Why are you so excited?" After struggling to drag Venti, who was completely drunk and unconscious, up to the second floor and tossing her onto a sofa, Chen Luo came down and asked.

"We are discussing how much change you can make to the Previous Era," said the Herrscher of Knowledge.

"Well, I don't think it'll be that big, right? Of course, it could be quite big, it all depends on what kind of items I can obtain before the previous civilization is destroyed," Chen Luo said after thinking for a moment.

"Just like how I could only give the Childhood Fun Park Ling after I possessed it. What rewards I might receive and what I might do are all highly uncertain. If one day I acquire a real world, I could simply put the people from the previous civilization into it and then have the Herrscher of the End clean up the remaining 'garbage dump.' That's also possible," Chen Luo said nonchalantly.

After all, what random items Chen Luo can get is truly random.

Even with designated rewards, the randomness is extremely high.

Just like when Chen Luo unleashed a series of spells, he didn't expect to be able to unleash the Fireball Technique series.

When Chen Luo was opening the designated reward for Mobius, he never thought he could get a favorability rating.

"Jingle!"

The bar welcomed customers once again.

This time, the guest made Chen Luo frown, and then he showed an expression as if he had seen a fat sheep.

"Oh, Durandal, it's been a long time. What have you been up to all this time?" Chen Luo greeted her with a smile.

"And one of the two following behind you is Miss Rita, whom I know. And this one... should be the Archbishop of Schicksal, Otto, right?" Chen Luo looked at Otto walking behind Durandal and Rita, a friendly smile on his face.

Otto... It wasn't until Chen Luo joined the Schicksal faction that he realized just how rich Schicksal really was.

Moreover, Chen Luo thought that his first five-star mission as Traveler might happen through Otto.

With this thought in mind, Chen Luo's smile became even more enthusiastic.

Upon seeing that smile, Otto frowned and subconsciously took a half-step back.
