Pardo Felis and the Cat Teaser

"False Sky? What a perfunctory job." Chen Luo complained as he looked at the planet gradually taking shape in the Puppet Collection Vault.

Because Chen Luo only copied Earth, the planets outside Earth were naturally not included. Therefore, Earth was missing two crucial elements: the sun and the moon.

But how can an Earth exist without the sun and the moon?

Perhaps because the exterior card replicates the entire Earth, in addition to Earth, the exterior card also includes a False Sky a bonus.

In other words, Chen Luo's Puppet Collection Vault contains the sun and moon, and even the movement of constellations is incredibly realistic. But while it looks realistic, it is still fake.

It really is buy one get one free.

Looking at this thing, Chen Luo couldn't help but think of the Teyvat Continent.

Within the Puppet Collection Vault, Chen Luo has a god-like perspective, so Chen Luo can look wherever he wants. Furthermore, since all the exterior cards, except for certain high-value items, can be copied, this means that Chen Luo can observe this fake Earth to understand the life trajectories of everyone in the real Previous Era, and even things like diaries.

"I'm suddenly really curious about what's in Brother Jie's closet..." Chen Luo's eyes suddenly lit up.

Chen Luo had heard Pardofelis mention before when he was going through the story that there were many strange things in the Elysian Realm, such as Brother Jie's wardrobe...

"Uh, I don't think I know where Chijie lives. I miscalculated..." Chen Luo shook his head and sighed.

However, Chen Luo did see the devastating destruction that the Seventh Herrscher Himiko, had caused to the entire Australia.

"Tsk, as expected of the Seventh Herrscher, known for her destructive power."

"Ah, speaking of which, although I don't know where Chijie's wardrobe is, I can look at Mobius's wardrobe."

Mobius lived right next to Chen Luo; the place was quite easy to find.

"..." A second later, Chen Luo immediately turned off the God's View.

"That bastard Mobius, is he planning to make a puppet of me first, and then stab me with voodoo dolls?"

After seeing Mobius's room, Chen Luo began to wonder what he had done to offend Mobius.

Could it be because of the time I called the other person older?

How stingy!

Chapter 439 Pardo Phyllis and the Cat Teaser Stick

"Jingle!"

"Boss! Waaaaah, boss, I've missed you so much!"

After the wind chimes rang, this time the guest gave Chen Luo a big surprise.

The girl, as agile as a cat, pounced on Chen Luo behind the bar.

Then Chen Luo tackled him and threw him to the ground.

"Ouch! Uh... it doesn't hurt?" The girl, who had actually been thrown to the ground, was puzzled when she realized it didn't hurt.

"Boss, what are you doing?" The girl turned to look at Chen Luo, her face full of dissatisfaction.

"..." Raven's eyes sharpened upon hearing the girl's words.

So, you're saying you weren't thinking of firing me?

Now even the employees are coming to us.

Looking at the other person, Raven felt quite awkward.

"Honestly, if you saw a stranger suddenly hug you, what would you do? Why are you asking me?" Chen Luo said, hands on his hips.

Chen Luo is feeling this way right now.

"Wow, really? So heartless? I'm Pardo, Pardo Felice. Boss, what's wrong with you? Have you lost your memory?" The scantily clad girl pointed to herself, then looked at Chen Luo with some concern.

Pardo Felice, the Fire Moth, is one of the Thirteen Flame-Chasers.

Kevin once said that every Flame-Chasers has the ability to kill Herrscher in one fell swoop.

Except for Pardo.

The proprietress of the "Elysian Realm" shop, the last of the Thirteen Flame-Chasers, with the inscription "Aether Dream". She claims to be the weakest of the Flame-Chasers, and usually slacks off and never participates in missions.

Indeed, he was the weakest of the Flame-Chasers.

At first glance, you might think she's just being modest when she claims to be weak, but once you see her being chased by Tank-class Honkai Beast, you'll realize she really is weak.

A carefree girl like a cat, she is also a shrewd businesswoman. As the owner of a shop in the Elysian Realm, she enjoys collecting all kinds of glittering gold coins and gems, or extremely rare items.

However, the other party's luck was absolutely unmatched by anyone in the entire Previous Era.

After "voluntarily" undergoing fusion surgery for a special reason, he was fortunate enough to become Flame-Chaser.

As a result, she also gained heterochromatic eyes, cat ears, and a cat tail that is now gently swaying behind her.

"Elysia, since you brought her here, didn't you explain anything to her?" Chen Luo turned his head and looked at Elysia, who was standing at the Bar Door.

"Oh dear, wasn't this to surprise you? Besides, Pardo woke up from who-knows-where and was so excited to hear you were there that she immediately clung to me and asked me to bring her. So don't blame me for not explaining this clearly," Elysia said with a rather self-righteous air.

"If it's not your fault, is it mine?"

"Sister Elysia and Boss, stop arguing! What's going on?" Pardo, who was standing next to Chen Luo, waved her hand and quickly interrupted the blame game between Chen Luo and Elysia.

"Here's the thing. Your current boss isn't the boss you know. Your boss has the ability to travel between two civilizations. In other words, the Chen Luo you're talking about hasn't met your Chen Luo yet."

"Uh, I don't quite understand." Pardo personally felt that Elysia's words were a little difficult to understand.

"Elysia means that I can travel through time. I have already traveled to the past, but I haven't met you yet. Of course, you can also think of it as you traveling to the past and meeting me before I met you."

"Oh, so you mean you haven't actually met me yet, right, boss?" Pardo's eyes lit up instantly.

"That's roughly the idea."

"Ahem, let me introduce myself. My name is Pardo Felice, and I'm your most beloved employee, boss. For me, you even went so far as to hand over all the money you earned from the Fire Moth to me to manage." Pardo coughed twice and then said solemnly.

"..." Upon hearing this, the Raven narrowed its eyes slightly.

"!!!" Just as Pardo was about to instill in Chen Luo how to better provide benefits to his employees, she suddenly tensed up, then did a beautiful somersault and "flew" out of the bar, then nervously looked around.

"There's a murderous aura!"

"... Pardo, don't try to raise your salary on your own initiative. You need to understand one thing: destiny cannot be changed. Everything is predetermined. What you have experienced is what I will do in the future."

"In other words..." After suddenly sensing the disappearance of that faint killing intent, Pardo Felice was instantly drawn to Chen Luo's words.

Killing intent and murderous aura are not quite the same.

Sometimes your mom sees you not eating properly and staying up late every day, so she wants to give you a good beating with a rolling pin and meat. That's called "killing intent".

But murderous intent only arises when the other party wants to kill you.

"In other words, it's impossible for me to get a raise, it's impossible for me to get a raise in my entire life." Chen Luo shattered Pardo's fantasy.

"Hmm..." Pardo suddenly looked a little disappointed, and even her ears and tail drooped limply.

What's the point of looking forward to a life where you can't get a raise?

"Meow..." The chubby kitten that Elysia had been holding in her arms suddenly jumped up and landed steadily on Elysia 'Pardofelis head.

"Don't try to comfort me, Canned Food. A life without a raise is just too terrible."

"..." Looking at Pardo, who seemed to be very obsessed with getting a raise, Chen Luo couldn't help but sigh.

Was the salary I paid the other party really that little in the past?

"Ring ring ring!" A series of bells rang out, and Pardo was instantly drawn to the sound. Then, Pardo saw an extremely evil creature.

"!!! Boss, didn't you say you'd never seen me before? Are you the boss from the past? Why would you have something like this?" Pardo said, somewhat startled, as she lunged at Chen Luo.

"Although they say no, their actions are surprisingly honest," Chen Luo remarked, waving Cat Teaser Stick around.

"I told you, boss, stop teasing me with that Cat Teaser Stick! I really don't like it!" Pardo cried as she kept grabbing at the moving Cat Teaser Stick.

The Canned Food sitting on Pardo's head also seemed to be very interested in the Cat Teaser Stick.

"Heh." Chen Luo sneered at Pardo, Tsundere.

Okay, whether Pardo likes the Cat Teaser Stick or not is another matter, but she definitely can't resist this Cat Teaser Stick.

It's a random item after all, and most cats can't resist it, including Pardo Felice.

"Alo, um... could you lend me this Cat Teaser Stick?" Elysia blinked longingly.

Elysia had wanted this Cat Teaser Stick for a long time. Elysia had tried to use the Cat Teaser Stick to tease Pardo before, but Pardo was somewhat interested but not completely interested, and would always run away quickly after seeing the Cat Teaser Stick.

Only Chen Luo's Cat Teaser Stick could make Pardo immediately come running whenever it was moved.

Unfortunately, despite paying a high price, Elysia couldn't get Chen Luo to lend her the Cat Teaser Stick.

"You couldn't borrow it before, so why do you think you can now?" Chen Luo glanced at Elysia and then continued to tease the cat.

Yes, two cats.

Chen Luo wasn't stupid. Since Elysia wanted the Cat Teaser Stick so much, it meant that Chen Luo had never lent it to her before.

"Ugh... I even forgave you for putting a sack over my head! You stingy guy," Elysia said, puffing out her cheeks.

"Ah, speaking of which, you reminded me. If I remember correctly, you're coming to be my bodyguard in a couple of days. Once we get to know each other better, I can start putting a sack on you," Chen Luo suddenly said.

While it's not impossible to use a trap now, the key issue is that Chen Luo and Elysia aren't familiar with each other. Chen Luo's current persona is that of a weak and helpless researcher. If he's not familiar with Elysia, and she punches him right after he tries to Elysia, Chen Luo will either expose his identity or be beaten to his knees and cough up blood on the spot.

"..." Hearing Chen Luo's words, Elysia became even angrier, as if she had thought of something.

"Boss, stop teasing me with that Cat Teaser Stick! Oh, right, I just remembered, you left me a letter saying I could use it to get back the wages you owe me for all these years. Put the Cat Teaser Stick away, I'll go get it for you right now."

"Huh? Believe?" Chen Luo was stunned for a moment after hearing Pardo's words. In that moment of Chen Luo's stunned silence, Pardo grabbed the Cat Teaser Stick that had stopped moving.

"Hehe." Pardo chuckled as she caught the Cat Teaser Stick, but then quickly came to her senses.

"Yes, it's a letter. I can give the letter to you, boss, but you have to pay back the 50,000 yuan in wages you've owed me for over 50 years," Pardo emphasized, holding Cat Teaser Stick in one hand.

"...50,000 yuan in wages? Why don't you just rob someone?" Chen Luo blurted out instantly.

"Just like you said, boss, there's no way to make money faster than taking wages."

When did I say that?

"The future!" Pardo Felice declared confidently.

Because Pardo knew that Chen Luo didn't know about the future, she could make things up however she wanted.

"Oh, right, boss, you can't renege on your debt. We signed a contract, and you said I could collect the back wages from all these years based on the contract. The price is that I have to give you the letter you gave me the first time I see you. You wait here, I'll go get the letter for you right now." After giving the now-still-shaking Cat Teaser Stick one last reluctant look, Pardo quickly pushed the bar door open again.

Not long after, Pardofelis pushed the door open and entered again.

As soon as Pardofelis entered, she saw Chang Wei... Chen Luo was teasing Elysia with Cat Teaser Stick.

Elysia is unaffected by the Cat Teaser Stick, but Elysia wants to get the Cat Teaser Stick and then use it to Cat Teaser Stick Pardo.

This creates a vicious cycle.

"Oh, you're here?" Upon seeing Pardo return, Chen Luo immediately put the Cat Teaser Stick into his backpack.

"Here it comes." Pardo said, while clutching the letter in her arms and slapping the paper, made of some unknown material, onto the bar.

Show the contract to Chen Luo first, and let Chen Luo decide whether or not to make up for the overdue wages.

Then we can talk about the letter.

That's 50,000 years' worth of wages! What an enormous sum of money!

It's suffocating to even think about it.

Chen Luo gently picked up the contract and then confirmed that it was indeed torn from the Book of Contracts.

This is a genuine contract, a just contract.

The above content is indeed as Pardo said. Chen Luo's last task for Pardo in the Previous Era was to keep this letter safe and give it to Chen Luo next time they met. As a reward for Pardo fulfilling her duty, Chen Luo would pay Pardo her salary every month as usual.

It's probably similar to paid leave or something like that.

The salary Chen Luo paid to Pardo was one-quarter of Chen Luo monthly salary at the Fire Moth.

Regardless of whether Chen Luo's salary increases or decreases, this standard will not change.

The salaries of researchers working on the Fire Moth are quite high, especially after Chen Luo acquired the technology to ensure that people wouldn't die even after a failed surgery, which significantly increased his salary.

Although it couldn't compare to Mobius's salary, it strangely surpassed that of Cang Xuan and Danzhu.

Even based on Chen Luo's current salary level, 50,000 yuan a year is an astronomical sum.
