The Fusion Surgery Performed by Chen Luo
"But thinking about it carefully, Doctor Mobius wouldn't do something like that." Danzhu breathed a sigh of relief.
"..."
You know what, that's not necessarily true.
Chen Luo felt that if the Herrscher of Knowledge hadn't been squeezed out of his sea of consciousness after he fell into a coma and hadn't stayed by his side, Mobius might have actually given him something.
While it won't involve surgery, things like drawing blood or plucking a hair are possible.
"Thank you for your concern, Senior Danzhu. It's just a minor health issue. I was working too long before coming to the lab, staying up until 1 a. m., and then my cousin woke me up at 5 a. m. So I was sleep-deprived. That's why I passed out. It's nothing serious; I just need to get some more sleep." Chen Luo casually made up a lie.
But the most truthful lie is a lie that contains the truth.
Chen Luo did work at the bar until 1 a. m., and was then woken up by Su Yuan at 5 a. m.
"Is it a health problem? Then you need to be even more careful. And you actually worked overtime until 1 a. m. Where did you originally work? How can you be so heartless?" Danzhu was a little surprised to hear that Chen Luo had worked until 1 a. m.
"You don't need to worry after you come to our lab. Our lab is very humane. We close at 5 pm, and you can refuse to work overtime. Who would work overtime? Are you going to work overtime?" Danzhu turned to look at Cang Xuan.
"I won't add it." Cang Xuan shook his head.
LOL, who's working overtime?
"Uh, my two senior sisters may have misunderstood. I run my own shop, which is that milk tea shop."
"It's our own shop, so there's nothing we can do. But you stay up so late every day, do you have time to do anything else? 996, no, this isn't even 996, it should be called 007. Isn't this a complete lack of leisure time?" Danzhu looked at Chen Luo with a hint of pity in her eyes.
"Senior Sister Danzhu, you've misunderstood again. Running this shop is just a side job. I usually open it from 8:00 PM to 12:00 AM. During the day, I mostly work as a detective, helping others with tasks for payment. It's not too tiring, just a bit troublesome at times," Chen Luo said.
While explaining himself, Chen Luo didn't forget to promote his own business.
"Ah, Junior Brother, you really have it tough. You work as a detective during the day to earn money, and then you have to run a milk tea shop until 1 a. m., and then your cousin has to wake you up at 5 a. m.," Danzhu said with emotion, looking at Chen Luo, who wasn't too pessimistic about his experiences.
Danzhu has already engraved a tragic drama of at least 200,000 words in her mind.
Because of financial difficulties at home, he worked hard as a detective during the day to earn money, and ran a milk tea shop at night. In his spare time, he would also read books.
Finally, through his own study and hard work, he gained the appreciation of Mobius and successfully entered the laboratory, becoming a formally employed assistant.
My junior brother is in such a sorry state.
I must teach him more things in the future.
Even Danzhu, whose character is heavily involved in romantic subplots, wondered if Chen Luo's parents died because of Honkai. She then imagined that Chen Luo joined the Fire Moth to contribute to the fight against the Honkai.
Honkai is absolutely awful.
The Herrscher are even more despicable, for causing so many people to be displaced.
"..." Chen Luo was a little confused as he felt Dan Zhu's gaze change three times in 10 seconds.
However, Chen Luo could sense through some of the characteristics of the Herrscher of Knowledge that the other party seemed to pity him.
Hmm, is it really that pitiful to sleep at 1 am and wake up at 5 am?
"Idiot Danzhu, no matter how much the Doctor thinks about it, he wouldn't lay a hand on his own lab assistant who's on the payroll. Besides, didn't you see how anxious Doctor Mobius was, even though he didn't say anything?" Cang Xuan, who had been standing silently to the side for a long time, said.
"Oh, really? Doctor Mobius is actually in a hurry?" Danzhu was somewhat surprised.
"Shouldn't you be able to tell if you pay attention? Although the Doctor seems to be fine, the error rate during experiments has subtly increased quite a bit."
"Luo, what's your relationship with Doctor Mobius? Putting aside the fact that Mobius was anxious after you fell into a coma, I saw in the data entered into your lab that you're only 18 years old, right? Doctor Mobius is very strict when it comes to choosing people. How did Doctor Mobius choose you?" Danzhu asked curiously.
"Well, actually I knew Doctor Mobius before I came to the lab. The first time we met was not long ago. I happened to run into Doctor Mobius, who was drunk and dizzy. He just happened to come to my bubble tea shop..." Chen Luo recounted his first encounter with Doctor Mobius with some modifications.
In short, it's the story of how, after being picked up while drunk, Mobius discovered Chen Luo's intelligence and recruited him into his laboratory.
Perhaps...
"Oh, I remember now. I remember when Senior Sister Klein went to pick up Doctor Mobius, she couldn't find him and even called me and Cang Xuan. So that was the time." Danzhu suddenly realized.
"So it was just good luck," Chen Luo said.
"Hmm... Hey, Chen Luo, what are you doing here? Oh, I remember now?" Senior Sister Klein, who was a little dizzy after finishing her work and was on her way to eat in the cafeteria, was quite surprised when she passed by Chen Luo.
"It's been a long time, Klein."
"Long time no see. By the way, I'd like to drink milk tea." Klein looked at Chen Luo with some longing.
Since no one was late today, Klein hasn't had any milk tea yet.
The reason Mobius arranged for a latecomer to invite everyone in the lab to drink milk tea was not because he wanted to drink it himself, but because Klein loved it.
Seeing Chen Luo now is like seeing a savior.
The milk tea at Chen Luo Bar is the best milk tea I've ever had, Klein none.
[Ding! You have a new request!]
"Okay, no problem, wait a moment." After saying that, Chen Luo turned around and ran towards Mobius's laboratory.
It would be very easy for Chen Luo to produce milk tea, but if it suddenly appeared out of thin air, it would inevitably scare Cang Xuan and Dan Zhu.
"Senior Sister Klein, Luo is so pitiful. You must remember to take good care of him." After Chen Luo left, Danzhu leaned close to Klein and said.
"???" Klein tilted her head.
No, wait a minute?
Is Chen Luo pitiful?
He's not pitiful at all.
He owns a bar that spans countless worlds, and every day all sorts of customers come to his bar to spend money. Even gods and demons have to respectfully call him "Manager" when they come to the bar.
The key is that you can drink all the milk tea you want, achieving true milk tea freedom!
I'm so envious...
However, Klein then wondered if this situation was deliberately created by Chen Luo, perhaps to fabricate a tragic backstory to make his identity more believable.
Klein nodded at this thought.
"Indeed. They have no fixed abode every day and are constantly on the move." Klein's imagination was rather limited, so this was the kind of story she could come up with.
Furthermore, Klein was unaware of what Chen Luo had said to them, so this was all she could say.
Upon hearing this, Cang Xuan, who had initially thought Dan Zhu was overthinking things, couldn't help but begin to wonder if Chen Luo was really in a terrible situation.
"Sigh, if Luo wants to borrow money from me, I'll lend it to him," Danzhu sighed.
The highest form of etiquette in modern times is the willingness to lend money to others.
"Huh? Why are you all looking at me so strangely?" Chen Luo asked as he walked out of Mobius's laboratory, carrying four cups of milk tea.
Although Chen Luo wanted to invite Mobius out for a meal, since skipping meals isn't good for one's health, Mobius first gave him a task, asking Chen Luo to bring her a meal directly from the bar, and then another task, asking Chen Luo not to bother her, even though it only cost 50 Primogem in total...
But Chen Luo compromised.
So in a sense, Chen Luo is really easy to deal with.
"Ah, it's nothing." Danzhu quickly shook her head.
Danzhu knew that some people had a strong sense of self-respect, especially someone like Chen Luo who became a tenured assistant through his own efforts, and might not like receiving charity from others.
Therefore, the thoughtful Danzhu decided not to reveal that they were discussing how to secretly subsidize Chen Luo.
Danzhu is familiar with the idea of doing good deeds anonymously.
"If you're careful with Cang Xuan and Danzhu, those two can be quite mischievous. Of course, they're both genuinely good people, so you don't need to worry about them too much," said the Herrscher of Knowledge, sitting Imaginary Tree.
From a purely rational perspective, it's entirely possible to consider the Herrscher of Knowledge as Fu Hua, since their memories are identical. Therefore, the Herrscher of Knowledge is quite familiar with Cang Xuan and Dan Zhu.
"... Let's have some milk tea from the three senior sisters. Let's go eat in the cafeteria. I'm quite curious about the cafeteria at the Fire Moth." Chen Luo said excitedly.
Chen Luo didn't sense any malice from his two senior sisters, but Chen Luo genuinely didn't know what had happened after he left, and why they were looking at him so strangely.
The Fire Moth are a United Nations -affiliated organization established specifically to combat the Honkai.
In this Honkai chaotic world, the power of the Fire Moth is gradually increasing, along with their responsibilities and obligations.
Regardless of other factors, those Fire Moth have at least very high wages and food standards.
The soldiers of the Fire Moth are fighting bravely against the Honkai outside, so it's normal for them to enjoy relatively good treatment inside the base. Even the treatment of ordinary soldiers is quite good.
Researchers receive even better treatment than soldiers.
After all, technology is the primary productive force, a fact that is almost universally acknowledged in modern times.
As one of the most productive laboratories, especially with the recent success of the fusion surgery, the Mei Biu Si Laboratory gained an even higher status.
However, compared to the contributions of the Mei Biu Si Laboratory, the Mei Biu Si Laboratory's reputation as a demon was further cemented by this incident.
After all, even under Mobius's guidance, the success rate of fusion surgery was pitifully low.
They weren't afraid of or repulsed by the lab researchers other than Mobius, but their unusually curious gazes still Herrscher of the Heart slightly uncomfortable.
In the end, the one who was a demon was only Mobius.
The world was only achieved with Mobius injured.
So Chen Luo and his friends finally managed to find a peaceful spot in a corner.
"The Fire Moth's canteen is packed with people at lunchtime," Chen Luo remarked.
"You'll get used to it. Hmm, the hot dry noodles are especially delicious today. The milk tea is also very good," Danzhu said with a sigh.
"Indeed, the milk tea is good enough, it's a lifesaver." Klein nodded in agreement.
"The milk tea is delicious, but... how did you manage to get it from Doctor Mobius's lounge, and such a fresh one at that?" Cang Xuan asked, puzzled.
"Oh right." Danzhu, who had been so engrossed in the milk tea, also remembered this.
Klein did know, but it was clearly not something that could be discussed.
Just as Chen Luo was thinking about how to gloss over the situation, he suddenly heard a commotion.
When Chen Luo turned his head, he saw someone who was different from ordinary people.
A girl with long pink hair.
But what makes this girl different from the others is the pair of pink ears on her head.
The soldiers and researchers around them seemed to have a natural fear and aversion to this being whose appearance was completely different from their own.
Those who are not of our kind will surely have different hearts.
Especially since the other party fused with the genes of Honkai Beasts to become a monster.
The Flame-Chaser humanity's most powerful fighting force and guardians against the Honkai, but humanity doesn't thank them.
For example, the person who slowly walked up to Chen Luo and the others.
"Hello, would you like a cup of milk tea?" Just as the other person was about to speak, Chen Luo handed them his unopened milk tea and asked.
Chapter 399 Chen Luo's Fusion Surgery
"Aren't you... afraid of me?" Sakura looked at the boy in front of her with some curiosity.
For some reason, when Ying first saw Chen Luo, she felt that Chen Luo was quite pleasing to the eye.
Sakura came to Chen Luo's place for dinner not only because almost all of the employees of Fire Moth felt a deep-seated fear when they saw her, so she wanted to find a quiet corner.
Furthermore, it was because Ying had already determined her goal the moment she saw Chen Luo.
There were still a few empty seats in the corner of the restaurant, but Ying kept quietly adjusting her route and coincidentally walked to Chen Luo and the others. She then tried to find a reasonable excuse to sit down next to Chen Luo and observe him.
Sakura doesn't care much about how others see her. Besides, other people's rejection and disgust are also a useful tool for completing the mission. For example, if others weren't afraid of her, she wouldn't be able to approach this place in a more reasonable way.
Of course, Sakura is not entirely used to the current situation either, as she has just undergone fusion surgery.
It's unclear how many Hyper-Evolution Surgery have been performed in the past, but currently there are only four successful cases in the entire Fire Moth.
First is Kevin, second is Elysia, third is Mobius, and fourth is Sakura.
Sakura had only recently come off the operating table.
Chen Luo's act of treating him to milk tea truly surprised him.
"A Flame-Chaser, of course I know." Chen Luo nodded.
"So what's your opinion on Flame-Chaser?" Sakura asked after confirming that the other person didn't seem to care about her identity as a Flame-Chaser.
After hesitating for a moment, Ying accepted the cup of milk tea that Chen Luo handed her.
