Mobius and Mei

"But the problem is it's only 5 o'clock now."

"But the sun is already up," Su Yuan said, pointing to the bright sky.

"Hey, cousin, how old are you? You still sleep with a doll in your arms." Su Yuan said, pointing to the doll lying next to Chen Luo.

"Just kidding, I'm a puppeteer. I don't sleep with puppets, I sleep with you! Okay, Xiao You, wake up." Chen Luo patted the Armed Puppet sleeping next to him.

Surprised? The one sleeping next to Chen Luo today is the Holy Sword Durandal.

This isn't about Chen Luo abandoning Sirin after starting a relationship, or a new generation replacing the old. It's mainly because Sirin was taken away by the Herrscher of Knowledge.

Chen Luo didn't know when Sirin and Xiao Shi had become so close. In any case, although Sirin was unwilling at first, after the Herrscher of Knowledge whispered something in Sirin's ear, Sirin seemed very shocked. After thinking for a while, she nodded with a strange expression.

After losing Sirin, Chen Luo naturally needed to find another doll to hold.

Chen Luo likes to hug something when he sleeps. Although he can hug a blanket after losing Sirin, is hugging a blanket the same as hugging Armed Puppet?

Chen Luo had fairly and openly consulted with the two Armed Puppet, Sirin Xiao You and Cang Xiao Xuan, asking which of them was willing to volunteer, but both puppets refused.

I won't go into the reasons, so as not to upset Chen Luo further.

The little fox was very enthusiastic, but Chen Luo was disgusted.

Because the little fox has a lot of fur, it's okay in winter, but it gets really hot in summer.

And the little fox sheds fur.

This made the little fox so angry that it bit Chen Luo's arm for a full half hour without letting go.

As for why Xiao You ended up in Chen Luo's bed later...

"Hmm... what time is it? Why are you up so early?" Xiao You, who likes to be lazy, showed the same attitude as Chen Luo.

"Because I was woken up," Chen Luo said.

"So what if you were woken up? What does that have to do with me? I'm not awake yet."

"That's why I woke you up." Chen Luo revealed his true intentions.

"... Haha, you're so annoying! Hurry up and give me Durandal's photobook. I'm going back to my room to catch up on some sleep."

Yes, that's right. Do you think Chen Luo got Xiao You into bed because of his personal charm?

No, it's all about bribery.

Originally, the two dolls weren't interested in being Chen Luo's body pillows, until Chen Luo took out a Durandal Photo Album. Then, Xiao You said she could reluctantly show some love to Chen Luo, this lonely little brat.

Although Chen Luo was quite unhappy with Xiao You's description, he let it go when he saw that there was Armed Puppet to hug.

"Here you go." Chen Luo said, taking a photo out of his backpack and handing it to Xiao You.

"Hmm, wait a minute? This is..." Xiao You looked at the baby in the photo with a blank expression.

"Durandal as an infant. Isn't that obvious?"

"Ha?"

"We agreed that we could only get one at a time. Alright, go back to your room and catch up on your sleep."

"Wait a minute, while Bianca was indeed quite cute as a child, and baby Bianca had a unique charm, if we keep giving her pictures one by one like this, when will I ever see the latest version of Durandal? You said you'd give her pictures one by one, but you didn't say you'd start giving her pictures from infancy!" Xiao You looked completely bewildered and shocked.

"Emmm, sorry, this thing has exclusive rights. I bet even Durandal herself hasn't kept such a detailed record of every period of her life. Don't you really want to collect them all?" Chen Luo's words were full of temptation.

[Durandal Photo Album]

A two-star item, a collection of photos documenting all of Durandal's life.

And it also has a variety of special poses.

Posing for photos, sleeping, taking a shower... cough cough.

If you can think of it, this place has it.

Although the description says it was taken by Rita, Chen Luo suspects that such detailed photos were indeed taken by Rita.

As for how many photos are actually in this photobook...

Chen Luo could only say that this thing was thicker than all the books he had ever read.

Otherwise, it wouldn't have been able to be promoted to a two-star item just because it's a photo album of one person.

Xiao You's plan to collect all of Chen Luo's photo albums by using him as a body pillow is a long and arduous task.

Most importantly, this thing increases in real time.

Chen Luo even saw the image of Durandal, with her full head of blonde hair, sleeping with Cecilia in her arms.

Her sleeping face was as peaceful as a child's.

Tsk tsk.

After that, Xiao You was tricked by Chen Luo into going back to her room to sleep.

"Xiao Yuan, what time did you get up every day when you were on the mountain?"

"Get up when the sun rises. Get up early in summer and late in winter. This is in accordance with the laws of the solar system. It is the law of heaven and earth."

"You even know about the solar system?"

"Wow, cousin, don't treat me like some kind of wild man, okay? There's internet access up here now, although I find practicing swordsmanship more enjoyable than surfing the internet, so I rarely go online. Besides, I've received the basic knowledge of nine years of compulsory education, okay? My master is responsible for teaching me my lessons."

"Is your master that amazing?"

"Of course. My master is the most highly qualified person in our sect."

"Ha, I originally thought that sects and the like were all about mysterious cultivation and not studying. It seems that I had a deep misunderstanding about you."

"Cousin, have you forgotten something? The cultivation civilization actually had a 500-year hiatus. So don't think too highly of the people in the sects. They only started cultivating after the invasion of the Abyss Plane, when their ancestors left behind cultivation methods. In a sense, we were actually among the first to reap the benefits," Su Yuan explained.

"Ah, that makes sense." Chen Luo suddenly realized.

Because he had previously imagined sects to be incredibly powerful and Su Yuan's identity as a sword immortal to be too mysterious, Chen Luo overthought things.

"Then how much stronger is your master than you?" Chen Luo asked.

Chen Luo planned to test whether his strength was considered high in this world.

"My master? If we're only talking about fighting, my master isn't as strong as me."

"Ha?"

"The first 50 years of Spiritual Energy Revival were the era of Talent User. No matter how fast a cultivator progressed, they would still be slightly inferior to those with Talent User. S-rank Talent User are extremely rare in this era, while my master is only an A-rank Talent User. Although she started cultivating a few years earlier than me, I have S-rank Talent, and it's the talent most suited to cultivation. My master's A-rank Talent is a support talent, so if we're really just talking about fighting, I'm stronger than her."

"So... bro, do you have some misunderstanding about S-rank Talent? Even if you haven't trained much in a sect, an average S-rank Talent is enough to make you invincible in this world."

"Of course, this only applies to Earth. As for outside Earth and the Abyss Plane, S-rank Talent User are still very inexperienced. They have strength, but at most they are considered outstanding among the younger generation. After all, there is no such thing as a 'millennium' in the Abyss Plane. Those ancient beings can come out at will."

"So as long as we don't go to other worlds, I can completely protect you, cousin, within our world." A sharp sword intent emanated from Su Yuan, demonstrating her confidence.

"Go to another world?" Chen Luo asked.

"Then you'll have to protect me, cousin. Didn't you say you're good at running away? If you can't win, just run away. Master said that running away isn't shameful, what's shameful is being defeated and giving up. All swords are forged through countless trials, and the immortal sword is no exception," Su Yuan said matter-of-factly.

"Very good, I like your personality." Chen Luo finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Su Yuan wasn't so stubborn.

"So what are we going to do today? Challenge those three S-rank Talent User?" Su Yuan asked excitedly.

"No, I have some business to attend to in Different World today. You should rest at home for a day, and I'll take you there later," Chen Luo said directly.

"Uh, Different World... it really is an amazing existence. But never mind, since I've already promised my cousin to keep it a secret, I'll definitely keep it a secret to the end. But if there's ever a really strong swordsman or anything like that, remember to call me, and I'll spar with them." Su Yuan said, clenching her fist.

It's clear that although Su Yuan says she'll run away if she can't fight, she actually seems quite enthusiastic about fighting.

"Sure, no problem. A swordsman, right? I'll keep an eye out." Chen Luo thought for a moment and then nodded.

"Actually, it doesn't necessarily have to be a swordsman; anything else will do," Su Yuan changed her mind.

"Oh, is that so? You're not picky at all? In that case, Xiao Yuan, how about you watch the house for me all day, and I'll find someone to play a game with you? It's still early, so we should be able to find a few suitable people." Chen Luo said, glancing at the fact that it was only a little past 5 o'clock.

Chen Luo and Mobius agreed to meet at 9 a. m., and there are still 4 hours until 9 a. m., so there is still time to play with Su Yuan for a while.

"Really? That's great. I'll take the job." Su Yuan nodded quickly.

"This is a good opportunity to give Xiao Ke'er a break, so she won't complain about being my little brother all year round," Chen Luo said.

Because of Xiao Ke'er's complaints, Chen Luo is now thinking about when to make a fully intelligent doll so that it can monitor her house in Xiao Ke'er's place and also remind Chen Luo.

For now, let Su Yuan fill in for me.

After Chen Luo glanced at Su Yuan, the two of them instantly disappeared from the room.

When it reappeared, it was on a patch of ice, next to a dilapidated ruin scorched by flames.

Suddenly appearing on the sea, Su Yuan quickly regained her balance after realizing that her feet had slipped. She then stepped onto the Flying Sword that had appeared out of nowhere and flew above the sea.

Chen Luo looked at the environment and gently blew a breath. Cryo power instantly surged around him, freezing the churning waves on the sea into a frozen lake.

Of course, fighting should take place in the War Domain.

The chosen location was naturally Gu Yun Pavilion.

To be precise, it was the Gu Yun Pavilion that was destroyed.

"Now it depends on your luck. But thankfully, we still have four hours to test our luck. Eventually, a suitable opponent will appear." Chen Luo glanced at the battlefield he had created with satisfaction and gently rang the bell in his hand.

"Ring ring..."

The cooldown time for the Soul Summoning Bell is half an hour.

"I'm leaving the house-keeping job to you," Chen Luo said.

"Okay," Su Yuan said weakly.

"To be honest, Yakumo Yukari's fighting style was absolutely disgusting." At the same time, Su Yuan didn't forget to complain about the battle she had just experienced.

"This is their fighting style. What can we do?"

"Hmm." Su Yuan lay on the sofa and hummed twice in dissatisfaction, but didn't say anything.

Chen Luo pushed open the bar door as usual and went inside, while Su Yuan, who was lying on the sofa, lit up when she saw the bar.

When Chen Luo arrived at the bar, Mobius seemed to have been waiting there for a long time.

"Let's go. Remember to buy the knowledge of the Tree and Sea as soon as you've finished signing in." Mobius seemed even more impatient than Chen Luo, kicking open the door that Chen Luo had just closed and taking Chen Luo's hand as they walked out.

After being led to the other world by Mobius, Chen Luo looked up at the slightly gloomy sky.

Fire Moth, here I come!

The first journey of the Fire Moth begins!

"Oh, by the way, did you bring Klein some milk tea? You promised her yesterday," Mobius suddenly asked.

"Uh... I'll go back and get it." Chen Luo hesitated for a moment, then pushed open the bar door again.

The first journey of the Fire Moth has come to an end!

Exploration time: 12 seconds.

Exploration findings: None

Conclusion: I just arrived at the bar and you brought me into this world, how could I have had time to prepare milk tea? Don't blame it all on me, okay?

Chapter 393 Mobius and Mei

"So why should I drive?" Chen Luo asked, puzzled.

"I'm the guest, aren't I?" Chen Luo asked Mobius, who was admiring the scenery beside him, while driving.

Although Chen Luo had always ridden a bicycle to and from school and had never even taken a driving test, his Furniture Mastery made Chen Luo an all-around master.

Chen Luo could even give the opponent a ditch drift.

But the other party probably doesn't like it.

"No, you are my assistant now, my personal assistant," Mobius said somewhat lazily.

Mobius wasn't interested in chatting with Chen Luo; what Mobius was really interested in was getting Chen Luo to clock in at the lab as soon as possible, and then getting him to buy the knowledge about the Tree and Sea.

Chen Luo is absolutely wicked. He told me about the knowledge of the Tree and Sea, letting me know how great an opportunity was right in front of me, and then... he didn't buy it.

He actually decided not to buy it, the reason being that he had to clock in at his own lab. How can anyone be such a jerk?
