Garbled Phone Number

"It seems you already have an idea. What are you holding in your hand?" Mobius looked at what Chen Luo was holding.

"Breakfast for Cang Xuan and Danzhu. I told them that I'm a great cook, and for some reason they wanted to eat my cooking, so I brought some for them."

Chen Luo finds it hard to refuse Primogem, especially when they come in such an easy situation.

"That's not what I'm asking. I'm asking what that stack of papers in your left hand is?" Mobius said, shaking his head.

"Oh, you mean this? This is the lab safety rules that I copied for Danzhu 100 times. Well, to be precise, it wasn't me who copied it, but one of my Armed Puppet," Chen Luo said.

It took Book of Cang Xuan a whole afternoon to finish writing the 100 versions of the laboratory safety rules using the super-fast typing speed of Armed Puppet.

Chen Luo has agreed to take it to see Fu Hua, but of course not now.

Instead, I'll do it today when I have some free time.

"Do you have Primogem?" Mobius asked.

After Chen Luo used an analogy in front of Mobius, and after mentioning the name of the Primogem on another occasion, Mobius knew of its existence.

"Of course there are Primogem, and there are 100 of them." Chen Luo nodded.

Chen Luo didn't really need to hide the Primogem, because to outsiders, Primogem were just like Mora —a currency from Different World that he had never seen before.

"..." Mobius, who had ordered Danzhu to copy the laboratory safety rules 100 times, remained silent.

"Oh, and remember to keep this a secret from Danzhu. Don't tell me I told you about this," Chen Luo said casually.

"Of course. By the way, should I punish her another 100 times?" Mobius suddenly said.

"Huh? Why?" Chen Luo was taken aback.

"I punish her by making her copy the safety rules, and she then passes the buck to you, which gives you a reward, while I suffer no loss. Why not give it a try?" Mobius said.

Mobius wasn't really upset about Danzhu having someone else write the paper. After all, it wasn't a big deal; it was just about Danzhu secretly sleeping in at the lab. Danzhu had done that kind of thing countless times before.

Mobius was simply annoyed by the other party's poor ability to lie through their teeth.

"This... is that really necessary?" After hearing Mobius's words, Chen Luo was both tempted and hesitant.

What a wonderful wife... cough cough, what a great helper! She even knows how to help me earn Primogem.

From a purely rational perspective, this is indeed a possibility, but is it perhaps a bit too much for Danzhu himself?

Tragic, Danzhu, tragic.

"It's fine to issue a penalty every few days, but don't make me copy texts every day," Chen Luo suddenly said.

Chen Luo suddenly remembered that Cang Xuan and Dan Zhu, those two unlucky kids, had eaten his Insanely Modified Heavenly Scented Cardamom.

For some reason, Chen Luo couldn't tell the two people how to use Heavenly Scented Cardamom, so the two people probably didn't realize what mistake they had made.

These were two Revival Coin, and these two people just ate them without even realizing it.

"Forget it, even though she's been unkind to me, I can't be unjust to her." But after thinking about it again, Chen Luo still waved his hand.

At least these two senior sisters took care of me, even though they seemed more like the ones I needed to take care of.

"..." Mobius glanced at Chen Luo, who kept changing his mind, with a puzzled look.

Although Mobius found Chen Luo's attitude strange, he figured the other party probably felt it was a bit unfair, as if he were heartless.

"If I remember correctly, the knowledge of the Tree and Sea that I had you buy cost a total of 5,000 Primogem, right?" Mobius suddenly asked.

"Yes, what's wrong?" Chen Luo still felt a pang of heartache as he said this.

"To be precise, it was seven thousand Primogem. Because my brain was almost damaged at the time, I spent another 2,000 Primogem to turn that knowledge into something similar to Stigmata." Chen Luo raised his hand and showed Mobius the [Imaginary Number] Stigmata on the back of his hand.

"I see..."

If 100 repetitions of the Lab Safety Rules equal 100 Primogem, then 7000 Primogem would require 7000 repetitions of the Lab Safety Rules, right?

In other words, if he punishes Danzhu or Cang Xuan by making them recite the laboratory safety rules 7,000 times, Chen Luo can make up for the loss of 7,000 Primogem?

Mobius began to calculate in his mind.

Chapter 419 The Garbled Phone Number

"Cang Xuan, my right eyelid keeps twitching. According to Eastern sayings, a twitching left eyelid means good fortune, while a twitching right eyelid means bad luck. Does this mean we're going to have bad luck?" Danzhu asked Cang Xuan with some concern.

Danzhu, who had arrived at the lab early (5 minutes ago) and checked in, felt that her right eyelid had been twitching for the past three minutes.

"You're overthinking it," Cang Xuan said dismissively.

"Beep!" The sound of clocking in caught Danzhu's attention. Danzhu turned her head and saw Mobius had just finished clocking in, and Chen Luo, who was clocking in.

In Chen Luo's hands, one hand held two breakfasts and a cup of milk tea, and the other held a bag.

Mobius sipped his coffee and walked into his lounge on his own.

The lab work is very busy, but it's not starting to get busy right now.

"Here's your breakfast, senior sisters," Chen Luo said, holding up the two breakfasts in his hands.

"Luo, aren't you angry?" Danzhu asked weakly.

"What are you angry about?" Chen Luo asked as he placed the two breakfasts on the table.

"It's about Danzhu and me eating your seed," Cang Xuan said.

"It's okay, I'm not angry. It's not anything valuable anyway."

Oh well, it's just two Revival Coin. I'll just eat them. Do I, Chen Luo, look like such a petty person?

emmm...

I don't know why, but I still feel a little heartbroken.

"Hey, isn't it something valuable? How about two more? It's quite delicious," Danzhu said, raising her hand.

"..." Chen Luo's face darkened instantly.

"Idiot, didn't you realize that what Luo said wasn't valuable, and was just to comfort us?" Cang Xuan covered his forehead helplessly.

"Oh, really? So that means that thing is really valuable?"

"I wouldn't say it's extremely valuable, but I only have 10 of these right now. Two have been used, so I only have 6 left. At least so far, I haven't seen anyone else with this besides myself. Putting aside whether it's expensive or not, it's definitely rare," Chen Luo said with a sigh.

If this thing could be bought with Primogem, Chen Luo would definitely stock up on a lot more.

I'll give one to each of my parents when summer vacation is almost over, or when they come back.

Chen Luo hasn't decided who to give the last one to yet.

The Void Archive is said to be able to copy all items below 6 stars, but only if Chen Luo can analyze it. This Insanely Modified Heavenly Scented Cardamom is somewhat difficult for Chen Luo to analyze.

To this day, Chen Luo still doesn't understand how this thing works.

Or is this thing a little unconventional?

Or what if all random items are impossible to duplicate?

At least things like the Friendship Revolver and other Void Archive cannot be replicated.

"Luo, did you learn math from the PE teacher? There were 10 in total, and the two of us ate two, so there are still 8 left, right? How come there are still 6 left?" Danzhu corrected.

"... The beans you ate were meant to be used in pairs; they only work when eaten in pairs. Otherwise, why do you think I gave Klein two beans directly instead of giving her one first?" Chen Luo said with a dark face.

Yes, yes, you ate the first one, not the second one, right?

After we dig you out of Chi You's body, we'll just take you two home and use you as specimens, you believe me?

"Hey, what's the effect? Since we've already eaten one, why don't you give us the other one?" Danzhu asked tentatively.

Danzhu thought that Heavenly Scented Cardamom was quite delicious.

"Just eat me up," Chen Luo said dismissively.

Before one is on the verge of death, eating any number of the Insanely Modified Heavenly Scented Cardamom will have the same effect.

"Don't be like that, we were just asking you about the effects."

"You two definitely won't need the effects right now. You'll know what they're like once the Heavenly Scented Cardamom takes effect." For various reasons, Chen Luo didn't reveal the effects of the Heavenly Scented Cardamom.

"I always felt that hiding it like this gave me the feeling that I might have taken some kind of poison."

"What poison? That's a valuable item. So many people want it but don't have it." Chen Luo rolled his eyes at Danzhu.

"Then tell me about the effects."

"I don't know about the effects, but I do know that if you don't eat soon, breakfast will get cold," Chen Luo said, pointing to the breakfast he had brought.

"You guys enjoy your meal. I'm going to deliver some milk tea to Senior Sister Klein first," Chen Luo said, raising the cup of milk tea in his hand.

Klein doesn't need breakfast; all she needs is milk tea.

"Wow, Luo, your cooking is really delicious! These steamed buns are the best I've ever eaten." When Chen Luo returned, he saw Cang Xuan and Dan Zhu resting in chairs.

"Thank you for the compliment."

"Alo, you're wasting your talents as an assistant. Why don't you go work in the cafeteria? It's a shame that someone with your culinary skills isn't being shown to everyone," Danzhu sighed.

"Well, I have reasons why I have to come to the lab," Chen Luo sighed.

"If you like, I can bring you breakfast every day."

If I don't come to the lab, I won't be able to meet so many members of the Fire Moth.

Then Chen Luo's grand plan to salvage the Primogem might fall through.

"What's this about having no choice but to come to the lab...?"

Before Danzhu could finish asking her question, Cang Xuan tugged at her sleeve.

"Oh, I'm sorry," Danzhu apologized immediately.

Perhaps, as previously discussed and speculated, something really did happen to Luo's parents. Otherwise, how could normal parents allow their child to work as an assistant in such a dangerous place as the Mei Biu Si Laboratory?

Danzhu felt she should apologize after bringing up the other person's painful past.

"???" Chen Luo was a little confused by the other party's hesitation.

What happened?

"Oh, right, that bag over there contains the 100-point lab safety rules I made for you, Senior Sister Danzhu. It's copied entirely in your handwriting," Chen Luo said, pointing to the bag beside him.

Too lazy to get up, Danzhu sat in the chair and slowly slid it along, like someone in a wheelchair, until she reached the bag and opened it.

Chen Luo felt that perhaps he should sell the other party a wheelchair.

"It's actually copied in my handwriting, and it's so realistic that even I can't tell the difference." Danzhu looked at the neatly copied 100 copies of the laboratory safety rules and seemed somewhat surprised.

"Hurry up and find Doctor Mobius, or we might have to copy more lines as punishment. We're about to go over time," Chen Luo said, pointing to the clock.

"Oh, okay." Danju nodded and reluctantly got up and ran towards Mobius's lounge.

After Danzhu left, Chen Luo immediately took Danzhu's seat and sat next to Cang Xuan.

"Senior Sister Cang Xuan, what do you usually do in the lab?" Chen Luo asked Cang Xuan.

"Wash bottles?" Cang Xuan tilted his head and said.

"I'm asking you a question, don't answer with that questioning tone."

"Just kidding. Washing bottles is done by interns and staff responsible for equipment maintenance. Our job is usually to do all sorts of experiments."

"The experiments we usually do are relatively simple ones that Doctor Mobius was capable of doing but didn't have time to do. However, even these experiments must be taken seriously, and we cannot afford to make any mistakes."

"Of course, if something goes wrong, you can ask Senior Sister Klein for help, or you can handle it yourself."

"But if you're handling it yourself, it'll require some skill. Come, let me tell you, fooling Doctor Mobius isn't easy. I have a few tips..."

Although Chen Luo didn't know why the topic had shifted from what he needed to do to how to fool Mobius after the experiment went wrong, Cang Xuan's little tricks did indeed benefit Chen Luo a lot.

What a talent!

Of course, Cang Xuan and Danzhu are indeed outstanding talents. Although they are sometimes a bit rash, their intelligence cannot be denied.

Cang Xuan and Danzhu are talents that even Mobius has recognized.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have taken on the role of assisting the person in charge of the Seed Project.

"Of course, we can't do too much of this. It's one thing to fool Doctor Mobius if the experiment fails, but we still need to complete the experiment after dealing with the evidence. After all, this is not something to be taken lightly."
