Mobius: There's No Place for You in the Lab Anymore!

To be honest, from Mobius's perspective, it's not wrong that he wouldn't think much of an ordinary the Doctor, since talented people often have eccentric personalities.

As one of the most outstanding scientists of the entire Previous Era, Mobius could say whatever he wanted, and few people would object.

"Judging from your tone, you sound like one of those people who want to squeeze people into my lab through connections. But the problem is, you don't even know the Doctor from our world, do you? I'm quite curious, who do you want to put in? For your sake, if the person isn't too useless, I might be willing to make an exception." Mobius looked at Chen Luo curiously.

Mobius was basically certain that he was the only one from the Previous Era who had the honor of coming to the bar; Klein didn't count, as he had brought Klein with him.

But listening to Chen Luo's words now, it was as if the other party still knew the Doctor of his own world. This made Mobius very concerned.

After all, being downgraded from unique to special is something that, although Mobius doesn't really care about, still makes him unhappy.

"Is it possible that I am that the Doctor?" Chen Luo asked tentatively, pointing to himself.

"Pfft, hahaha, Chen Luo, I admit you made me laugh." Upon hearing Chen Luo's words, Mobius laughed heartily.

"Although if you can digest some of the knowledge I have, in terms of practicality alone, you've already surpassed some the Doctor. But I don't have that much power to quietly turn someone into the Doctor. A graduate student is my limit; after all, I'm just a researcher with no physical strength." After laughing for a while, Mobius mercilessly struck.

One-tenth of an infinite number is still an infinite number.

Mobius was very confident in himself, so he was also very confident in Chen Luo, who had learned most of his skills through some special means. However, having confidence did not mean that the other party could become the Doctor.

The other party didn't even have Identity Proof in their own world. It took Mobius a lot of effort to get Identity Proof for Chen Luo and add qualifications that would qualify him to apply for a researcher position.

"A researcher who can't even kill a chicken..." Upon hearing this, Chen Luo couldn't help but glance at Mobius again.

When you say someone is "incapable of killing a chicken", do you mean someone who can kill an Emperor-class Honkai Beast with a single slap?

According to Kevin, every Flame-Chaser... every Flame-Chasers has the ability to independently kill a Herrscher.

Uh, please ignore Pardo Phyllis for now.

Mobius may not be the most skilled fighter among these Flame-Chasers, but he is certainly one of the most dangerous.

"What? Don't you believe me?" Mobius's eyes narrowed slightly.

"Uh, you misunderstood. I trusted you too much to believe your claim that you're weak as a chicken. Doctor Mobius is omnipotent," Chen Luo said confidently.

"Hmm, you're quite the talker." Mobius nodded in satisfaction.

As it turns out, even Mobius enjoyed hearing compliments.

Of course, this also depends on who is saying nice things.

"Actually, I don't need you to get me the Doctor. In fact, I could become the Doctor any minute now if I wanted to," Chen Luo said with considerable confidence.

All of this is thanks to Chen Luo's unique title.

[The Doctor]

This is Chen Luo's only title. Unlike achievements, it doesn't have any inherent special effects. Instead, it requires spending Primogem to activate.

You can spend a certain amount of Primogem at a very low price to buy the Doctor diploma and the Doctor knowledge.

At the same time, you can enjoy price discounts when purchasing other knowledge-based learning materials.

In other words, if Chen Luo wanted to, Chen Luo could become the Doctor- level talent in an instant.

Moreover, in Chen Luo's view, the most valuable aspect of this title is not that he can buy knowledge at any time, but that it allows Chen Luo to have a legitimate identity.

After all, the officially recognized the Doctor degree mentioned in the introduction can prove that Chen Luo has indeed left his mark on this world and possesses proof of his identity. The series of reactions arising from this are naturally included in the purchase price.

In other words, it's like buying knowledge along with an identity.

Although Chen Luo's current Identity Proof at the Mei Biu Si Laboratory is fake, as long as Chen Luo purchases a certain knowledge from the other world, Chen Luo can become a real the Doctor with official credentials, and it will be officially certified so that no loopholes can be found.

"You have so many strange things about you, but that's precisely why I'm increasingly interested in studying you more. Little lab rat, please don't pique my curiosity any further, okay?" Mobius sighed.

Mobius felt that Chen Luo had never understood him.

She couldn't understand how she managed to restrain her desire to study him, while he continued to seduce her.

Isn't this making me increasingly eager to study it?

"Calm down a bit. Anyway... never mind, let's just stick to being researchers."

Although it seems rather strange from a purely rational perspective that the Doctor would forge a researcher's diploma to enter Mobius's laboratory, if he used the excuse of seeking higher development and acquiring more knowledge, then it would be understandable if Chen Luo were exposed later.

This researcher status was also a kind gesture from Mobius.

"Snake Snake, could you give me some advice?"

"Refer to what?" Mobius was slightly surprised to hear Chen Luo call him Snake Snake.

Offering unsolicited favors is either a sign of malice or theft.

"Here's the thing, my ability allows me to directly acquire the Doctor -level knowledge in a specific discipline within a world by paying a certain price, but only once, so the choice is very important," Chen Luo said.

"So I'd like to ask you, one of the most knowledgeable and accomplished scientists in this civilization, what discipline should I choose as my knowledge in this world?" Chen Luo asked.

"Oh, right, there's also this one-time opportunity. Besides purchasing existing disciplines, you can also purchase disciplines that have a certain foundation and system, but haven't yet reached their highest level, which means they are still developing."

In some ways, that's what makes this opportunity so valuable.

Because if it were simply a matter of purchasing academic knowledge, Chen Luo could simply find the Doctor specializing in the subject he wanted to study and buy that knowledge from them.

The absurdity of this opportunity is no less than having the Doctor in the field of Orehaze research in the early stages of Orehaze development on the Terra Continent.

If that were the case, the development of Orehaze, and even the development of the entire world, might take a different turn.

To possess the Doctor -level knowledge before the system is fully developed is, in a sense, somewhat cheating.

Yes, that's blatant cheating.

"Oh? I take back what I just said. This isn't some strange or weird thing. It's an opportunity to defy fate. Although, judging from current history, it seems that our [Previous Era] didn't actually defy fate."

Although the matter had been discussed to this point, Mobius, who knew the ending, was neither disappointed nor desperate.

After all, Mobius learned from Chen Luo that although the predetermined outcome could not be changed, fate could still be manipulated.

Besides, human civilization has still been able to continue, hasn't it?

Having learned the truth about the bar, Mobius found renewed motivation to pursue his goals in other directions.

Since pursuing infinity in this world is a troublesome thing, because even if we achieve it, it may only be a pseudo-infinity, then wouldn't it be a more ambitious goal to seek a more ultimate infinity in a truly infinite world?

"As for your question... it's a stupid question, so stupid that you shouldn't even have asked it. But I'm still quite pleased that you've shared this level of secret with me."

"Isn't it obvious what to choose in this Honkai world? With Honkai energy as a special energy source, if you don't choose Honkai energy, are you going to choose oil?" Mobius rolled his eyes at Chen Luo.

"The Fire Moth has already researched Honkai energy and achieved some results. At least the fusion surgery represents some of these results. So, in terms of academic foundation and system, the Honkai energy research in this world is already sufficient."

"Furthermore, doesn't your current civilization already have systematic Valkyrie training and Honkai energy research?"

"No, that's not right. Wait, is your ability based solely on this world or on an infinite world?" But Mobius, who had just given the suggestion, suddenly froze on his face with a look of disdain.

"Sigh, you thought of that too?" Chen Luo sighed.

"So, your skill really isn't limited to any particular world?" Hearing Chen Luo's sigh, Mobius narrowed his eyes.

Mobius has been frequenting bars lately, not because Mobius enjoys drinking. In fact, Mobius has a very low alcohol tolerance, and Mobius it himself.

The main reason is that Mobius recently met a very interesting person, and someone whose attitude was somewhat ambiguous.

Otto Apocalypse, the one who always seemed to be on good terms with me.

Seeing the other person's eyes, Mobius could roughly guess that the other person seemed to want to save something, something that had already passed away.

After all, as a scientist from Previous Era, this was probably the only place he could utilize.

But what if they were using each other? Mobius was also very interested in the other's research and gained a lot from their conversations.

For example... Tree and Sea.

The Imaginary Tree and the Sea of Quantum.

Is it possible that Chen Luo could try purchasing the Doctor -level knowledge in this specific field?

Although the Previous Era did not conduct much research in this area, the current civilization, which has inherited the knowledge of the Previous Era, must already have a theoretical system, right?

So, if we really want to talk about the most worthwhile research directions...

Tree and Sea, aren't they the most precious things?

Those the Doctor in modern civilization?

Ha, those are scholars who study Honkai, they can't even be called Honkai Studies the Doctor, let alone Tree and Sea.

The Doctor is the highest academic degree, and its upper limit is... very high.

Chapter 388 Mobius: There's no place for you in the lab anymore!

The Previous Era also Herrscher of Void, so naturally the other party should understand at this stage that this world is not just their own.

Previous Era the later stages of the Previous Era -civilization, their research on Imaginary Number and the Sea of Quantum goes without saying, and even now, they have some understanding of them.

Moreover, although Otto is sometimes a bit unreasonable, he does know a lot. If he talks nonsense to Mobius's access to information will be greatly increased.

Thinking of this, Chen Luo glared fiercely at Otto was drinking a glass of wine and gathering intelligence in the bar.

"..." Otto, who had been staying nearby for a while, shrugged innocently.

There's nothing we can do about it, isn't there?

"So it's really possible to purchase the Doctor -level knowledge of the Tree and Sea?" Seeing Chen Luo's expression, Mobius was pretty sure.

"It's possible, but it's expensive." Chen Luo nodded with a hint of heartache.

"How expensive?" Mobius asked curiously.

"If, and I mean if, purchasing the Doctor -level knowledge of Honkai energy costs 1000 Mora, then purchasing the Doctor- level knowledge of the Tree and Sea costs 5000 Mora. But the good news is that the Doctor -level knowledge of the Tree and Sea includes the Doctor- level knowledge of Honkai energy."

Chen Luo's use of "Mora" here definitely refers to the Primogem.

This is already an "extremely low" price after a huge discount, which shows just how valuable this knowledge is.

To be honest, this price isn't that surprising, considering that the entire Honkai World is made up of two main parts: Imaginary Number and the Sea of Quantum.

Simply put, these two things are ridiculously high-class.

The Imaginary Tree and the Sea of Quantum are in competition, and Honkai, as a filtering mechanism on the Imaginary Tree, naturally falls within the knowledge scope of the Tree and Sea.

Compared to the Imaginary Tree and the Sea of Quantum, things like the Honkai energy the Doctor, the Khaenri'ah Puppetology the Doctor, and the Alchemy the Doctor are simply weaklings, okay?

Of all the worlds Chen Luo has visited and will visit in the future, there are certainly many with alchemy and puppeteers, but only this one has the Imaginary Number and the Sea of Quantum.

It's a limited edition.

And it's the kind of item that will absolutely never be re-released.

Moreover, just like in Irena's world, the Doctor level of magical knowledge can reach the highest level of witches and come with many professional series of spells, Chen Luo didn't believe that the diploma he bought for 5,000 Primogem only contained a little knowledge and didn't come with any "magical" knowledge.

And have you ever thought about this: if you choose to become a Honkai energy the Doctor, at least you have the "official" authority Fire Moth, to award you the degree, since this kind of knowledge is within the scope of human understanding?

Then... who will award the Doctor degrees in the Sea of Quantum and Imaginary Number?

It's said to be an officially awarded degree...

What about the official stance of the Tree and Sea?

Of course, Tree and Sea are just metaphors; in reality, they are high-dimensional existences that three-dimensional beings simply cannot comprehend.

"5,000 Mora? That sounds pretty cheap. After all, if this kind of knowledge can be bought with money, it's definitely worth it, right?" Mobius said without any regard for cost.

Just kidding, why not just apply for research funding from higher-ups?

If something like this, a priceless treasure, can be bought with money, then why don't you hurry up and buy it?

"But... have you considered a possibility? The Mora I mentioned is just a figure of speech, and I don't even have 5,000 Mora in all my possessions?" Chen Luo raised a question.

"Oh, you can't afford it?" Mobius, who had never been troubled by research funding, asked in surprise.

The Mei Biu Si Laboratory has indeed had its research funding withheld or reduced for various reasons, but it has never been without research funding.

After all, although Mobius's laboratory had a somewhat bad reputation, its achievements were truly substantial.

So what if it's a demon lab? As long as it produces something, that's good, especially in this post-apocalyptic environment.

"I can afford it, but for me, that's a sixth of the price," Chen Luo said with some heartache.

"If we can afford it, we'll buy it," Mobius said decisively.

"You don't know the cost of firewood and rice until you're in charge of the household," that's exactly what I'm talking about, my dear Snake Snake.

"But the problem is, you've been agonizing over this for so long, won't you still end up buying it? Now that there's a better option, I don't believe you'll choose a slightly less desirable one. After all, you can keep making money with Mora, but this kind of opportunity, as you said, only comes once." Mobius subconsciously ignored Chen Luo's "darling" and crossed his arms.
