Don't Eat Anything Mobius Gives You!

"I don't know." Kevin shook his head.

"N-I don't know?" Chen Luo stammered for a moment.

You're telling me such important information—I don't know!

What else can you do besides being obsessed?

"This is a secret between the two of you, how would I know? It's just that every time Aponia meets you, there's always a strange look in her eyes," Kevin said, shaking his head.

"Strange colors? Could it be referring to that thing you just mentioned about someone outside who follows my religion? Is Aponia a follower of that religion?" Chen Luo recalled this matter.

Although helping people establish a religion sounds absurd, it is not surprising in the context of a post-apocalyptic world. Since no one has experienced the post-apocalyptic world, no one knows how absurd it really is.

So is it possible that the people who believed in Chen Luo established a religion, and that the saint of the religion was Aponia?

The ideal is very rich, but the reality is very harsh.

If Chen Luo remembered correctly, before the birth of the Sixth Herrscher, Chijie and Aponia were taken to the Deepest Place of the Fire Moth by Sakura, the Fire Moth warrior, because of the Fifth Herrscher - the Herrscher of Ice incident.

Therefore, it is unlikely in terms of time. The time that Chen Luo is currently in contact Mobius is after the Seventh Herrscher has been destroyed, and Mobius himself has even become Flame-Chaser.

"No. You're overthinking it." Kevin's denial shattered Chen Luo's last shred of unrealistic fantasy.

You have to have fantasies, after all, Aponia is really big.

"Am I overthinking things? Or are you saying too little?" Chen Luo now had the urge to give him the Herrscher Authority of Knowledge.

Kevin responded to Chen Luo with silence.

"Hmm, wait a minute, do you really not know or just don't want to tell me?" Chen Luo looked at the silent Kevin and suddenly thought of a question.

"Kevin, why aren't you here yet? Hurry up and come over, the party is about to start." Just then, Elysia poked her head out from the bar, which was still open.

"I'm leaving," Kevin said to Chen Luo before walking into the bar.

"..." This time, Chen Luo fell silent.

"Bye-bye, see you later." Elysia greeted Chen Luo warmly before turning her head back and closing the door behind her.

"Could these guys actually believe Elysia's nonsense? Are they planning to tell me about the Previous Civilization Era?" Chen Luo muttered to himself, a headache in his eyes, as he watched Elysia disappear.

"I thought only Eden, Elysia's good friend, would be willing to go along with Elysia's nonsense. I didn't expect that Kevin, with his thick eyebrows and big eyes, would also be going along with Elysia's nonsense."

"If I knew more about the Previous Era, wouldn't I be able to save you better? What are you trying to achieve?"

Chen Luo was quite puzzled as to why these people could be so mischievous.

Or did these Herrscher of the Heart agree to something?

"Do you know, Klein?" Chen Luo looked at Klein at his feet.

Klein shook his head.

"I am not human and cannot understand their thoughts. Well, I think perhaps they don't want you to get too deeply involved in the Previous Era. Or perhaps they are already quite satisfied with the current situation."

"But why are they satisfied with the current situation?" Chen Luo looked around at the Elysian Realm.

"At least they no longer have any deep regrets, or rather, you've made up for all their regrets in various ways. If they had to do it all over again, they're not sure if they would still be in the same situation," Klein said.

"The disturbances of time may bring not only benefits, but more likely harms."

"Hmm, I always feel that you are somewhat different from the Klein I remember," Chen Luo said, looking Klein up and down.

"Are you referring to the 'me' in the Honkai Impact 3rd game? Knowing more will naturally lead to some changes."

"You know about Honkai Impact 3rd?" This time, Chen Luo was genuinely surprised.

"I even helped you conquer the Abyss," Klein said quietly.

"Dr. Chen Luo, you always manage to give me some trivial game-related tasks when I'm busy with other work, thus increasing my workload."

"..." Chen Luo was speechless for a moment.

"I don't really understand how much pleasure those meaningless, repetitive abyss-digging activities can bring you. After all, those crystals are just a drop in the ocean for you," Klein added as a final blow.

"What do you know? The rewards for these daily tasks are like the commissions in Genshin Impact. Even if you're rich and a whale, you still have to do the daily commissions, right? You still have to complete the mail delivery quests, right? Even if you hate the 'Sparrow Disturbs Sword Intent' quest, you still have to go and collect the Qingxin, right? Oh, by the way, you've played Genshin Impact, haven't you?" Chen Luo asked casually.

"Yes, I'm also in charge of the daily quests and Abyss runs in Genshin Impact. And the daily grinding in Arknights, the regular map clearing in Azur Lane, plus event map unlocking. And also, all the various FGO events and the corresponding four-star character acquisition— the Doctor, you've entrusted all of these to me." Kero Klein silently recounted Chen Luo's sins.

"..."

Ah, this...

My future self is so awful.

Although Chen Luo hasn't played those games yet, it sounds like a huge amount of work.

"Alright, Dr. Chen Luo, please hurry and come with me to Dr. Möbius's laboratory. After showing you the way, I still have a lot of work to do and can't waste any more time. The daily maintenance of Paradise, the cleanup after the unfinished celebration banquet, the cleaning of fireworks and ribbons..." Klein began to mutter to himself and calculate the things he needed to do next.

"If we don't hurry, the work won't be finished," Klein added as a final sentence.

"..." Okay, she's still the same workaholic Klein.

Things have changed, but not completely.

Perhaps it's just that he knows more, but he remains a workaholic as always.

"Okay, let's go then. Oh, by the way, how's Klein?"

"I don't know," said little Klein, who was walking ahead.

"Well?"

"Or rather, I can't tell you. It's up to the Doctor to decide whether or not to tell you," Klein said.

"But I am the Doctor." Chen Luo, who has not yet become the Doctor, said this.

"...I was referring to Doctor Mobius." Klein seemed immune to Chen Luo's antics, remaining completely unfazed.

"Knock knock knock!" Klein knocked on the laboratory door.

"Please come in." A pleasant voice, tinged with a touch of childishness, rang out.

"The Doctor, I've brought the Doctor with me," Klein said as she pushed open the door to the figure busy at the lab table.

"Alright, just put it there," said the petite green figure.

"Hey, hey, hey, I'm not some kind of object, how can you describe me as 'placed'?" Chen Luo said, looking around at the equipment in the laboratory.

Moreover, Chen Luo noticed that the current Mobius and the Big Mei Biu Si did indeed have different voices and tones.

This is similar to the original storyline, where it seems that after shrinking, Mobius learned Elysia's tone of voice to lure some guinea pigs.

The combination with Mobius's Kero figure was indeed very effective.

"Hey, aren't you an object? If you're not an object, how come you haven't come home for so long? Even lab mice know to come home for food when they're hungry. But you've been away from home... for 50,000 years!" Mobius even gritted his teeth as he finished speaking.

At this moment, Mobius finally turned his head.

Wearing a fitted green dress, Mobius sat on a mechanical floating board, looking at Chen Luo with a gaze that mixed with anger and strange emotions.

The outfits, a blend of innocence and allure, make one feel grateful to Eden.

After all, the clothes Mobius is wearing now are team uniforms designed by Eden.

Eden's art and design skills are truly excellent.

"Haha... um... uh..." Looking at Mobius, Chen Luo didn't know what to say for a moment.

Hmm, what should I say now?

Chapter 240 Don't eat what Mobius gives you!

"You might not believe it, but I'm actually..."

As soon as Chen Luo opened his mouth, he decided to push all the blame onto his future self, since it was indeed his future self who had done it.

Actually, if you think about it carefully, this idea seems pretty great.

First, the past self shifted the blame to the future self, then the future self simply abandoned the responsibility, waiting for the past self to shift the blame onto the future self.

This would give Chen Luo enough time to try and win Mobius's forgiveness.

"Hmm, you mean you're not who you will be in the future, right?" But before Chen Luo could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Mobius.

"Ah, yes, that's right." Chen Luo nodded quickly.

"But do you think I care about these things? I'm not as easy to fool as Elysia and the others. Besides, we met a long time ago. I was the one who brought you to the Previous Era." As Mobius said this, he floated over on the floating board.

"Trying to shift the blame to your future self might work for Elysia and the others, but do you think it will work for me?" Mobius looked at Chen Luo, who was standing close by, and licked his lips.

"Wow, Snake Snake, calm down!" Chen Luo subconsciously took a step back.

"How about I join you in cursing my future self?" Chen Luo suggested.

"Not very good." Mobius flatly rejected Chen Luo's suggestion, while Mobius hands were already wandering, touching Chen Luo's face.

"Hehe, hehe, hahaha! Hahahaha!" For some reason, while Chen Luo was looking puzzled, Mobius cupped Chen Luo's face and started laughing, laughing so hard that tears streamed down his face.

"???" Chen Luo was completely dumbfounded.

What happened?

Sister, please stop laughing, okay? I'm scared.

"You are mine now." Mobius suddenly stopped laughing, staring intently into Chen Luo's eyes, the two becoming quite close.

"Ah, right, right, I'm yours, okay? So are you happy now?" Although Chen Luo didn't quite understand, Chen Luo felt he should go along with what Mobius was saying.

"Tch, boring." Seeing Chen Luo admit it so readily, Snake Snake suddenly lost interest.

"Get ready, you'll be doing an experiment with me in a bit," Mobius said to Chen Luo after releasing his hands from Chen Luo's face.

[Ding! You have a new request!]

[Experiment on weakening the Hyper-Evolution Surgery]: Mobius wanted to experiment with how to maximize the effects while reducing the side effects of the Hyper-Evolution Surgery.

Reward: 500 Primogem + random reward

Difficulty: 3 stars

The rewards were plentiful, and Chen Luo wasn't being used as an experiment, which made Chen Luo very satisfied.

But...

"But I don't know how..."

But Chen Luo only has the knowledge gained from the favorability gift from Mobius, and Chen Luo doesn't seem to be very good at that. Is a master level enough to do experiments with Mobius?

"Is that scalpel I gave you just for show? It's not like you're going to lead the experiment. Just come over and lend a hand." After saying that, Mobius walked to the experimental table on his own.

"No problem," Chen Luo readily agreed.

It's just assisting, no big deal.

The key point is that she gave so much.

And to be honest, Chen Luo was quite interested in this technology.

Although Chen Luo never mentioned this matter, Chen Luo still remembered Himeko.

Himeko's lifespan seems to be coming to an end. If possible, Chen Luo wouldn't mind performing a Hyper-Evolution Surgery on her. However, even after all these years of development, the fusion surgery technique is still not considered a mature one, as the probability of failure is too high.

Even if it could be done in a bar, at least Himeko's life could be saved, but we can't let Himeko stay in a bar forever.

If Himeko's surgery fails, she might die as soon as she leaves the bar.

If that time really comes, Chen Luo might be able to use his Herrscher of Domination abilities to turn her into a puppet and let her live, but Chen Luo has never encountered such a situation before, and Chen Luo doesn't know if he can succeed 100%.

Even if one succeeds and becomes a puppet, it's probably unacceptable for a normal person.

Therefore, Mobius's technology came at just the right time. Mobius's understanding of the Hyper-Evolution Surgery was unparalleled, especially since she had studied it in this Elysian Realm for 50,000 years.

If it's the weakening fusion technology produced by Mobius, Chen Luo still believes in it; at least it's safe enough and the effect is good enough.

Besides receiving some human help, Chen Luo felt that Himeko's will to survive was probably quite strong, and she should be able to get a request.
