Each person's commission costs 100 Primogem.

In other words, Chen Luo just earned 20 Primogem in one go.

This shows that the future Danzhu was not so harsh on his past self, and the conditions for completing the mission were not so demanding.

Was what happened just now unlucky? Yes, it was unlucky, but what did I lose? I lost an egg.

Therefore, from a general rational point of view, this task is not difficult to complete, and the standards are not demanding.

It just made Cang Xuan and Danzhu feel a little unlucky.

Seeing the slightly trembling Threads of Destiny on the two of them, Chen Luo gently hooked two of the threads and then flicked them.

"Cough cough." Chen Luo suddenly coughed twice.

"What's wrong? Xiao Luo, have you caught a cold?" Dan Zhu asked with concern.

"N-nothing, I just stayed up late again last night. Besides, my ability to suppress Honkai energy occasionally flares up, which is a side effect. So just ignore it," Chen Luo said, mixing truth with lies.

It is indeed a side effect of the ability, but it is a side effect that occurs after the Threads of Destiny have been manipulated.

The ability of the Fate Threads is indeed outrageous, and changing one's fate ultimately requires some sacrifice.

However, Chen Luo only caused Cang Xuan and Dan Zhu to have a few minor misfortunes, limited to things like a perfectly wrapped egg falling to the ground.

But if you think that the cost of such a change is low, you are wrong. First, such a change requires a constant number of times. Second, such a change also requires a constant upper limit of bad luck, while not specifying when bad luck will occur.

Therefore, this level of trouble is even more difficult than getting the other party to have a major misfortune.

As a result, Chen Luo's physical strength was greatly depleted, which is why Chen Luo coughed twice after sensing something was wrong.

However, on the other hand, using such a lofty power as destiny to do these things always feels like a waste, but Chen Luo doesn't think earning Primogem is shameful.

"I'll go find Doctor Mobius and arrange the three surgeries this morning," Chen Luo said to Cang Xuan and Dan Zhu.

"Hmm, three surgeries in one morning? Don't you need to rest? Surgery must be very physically demanding, right?" Cang Xuan asked.

"The problem is that I've already rested for two days. If I were to explain my abilities using the mana bar in a game, it would mean that I only have enough mana to cast three spells. Now, after casting them, I can recover full mana in a whole day."

"Besides, I have to do three surgeries a day anyway. Once I'm done in the morning, I can slack off in the afternoon, right?"

"Besides, I'm just an assistant, it won't take much of my energy."

"By the way, Danzhu, you'd better hand in those 100 repetitions while I'm calling the Doctor to perform the surgery. That way, the Doctor won't have time to check them carefully, and the chances of getting away with it will be much higher," Chen Luo added.

"That makes sense." Danzhu nodded heavily.

"Are you really planning to finish this battle in one morning?" Mobius asked Chen Luo.

"Why not?" Chen Luo countered.

"That will definitely make others think that you have spare capacity."

"It doesn't matter. If they have any doubts, let them come and reason with me. We'll see who wins the argument then. If their power is above that of Cannon Fodder No. 1, then we can just create a Cannon Fodder No. 2. Anyway, if all these politicians of the Fire Moth are killed, there will basically be no wrongful convictions."

"That's true." Mobius nodded.

The Fire Moth was a pretty big pie, at least at the beginning. It had a lot of power, a wide range of management, and relatively few problems, since some people didn't pay enough attention to the Honkai at the beginning.

Therefore, everyone treated the Fire Moth as a delicious cake and came to fight for it. Those who could snatch it were those with exceptional strength and methods.

Those with particularly ruthless methods are all clean hands.

As the Honkai intensifies, the pie for those Fire Moth grows larger and larger, and those who dare to squeeze in to try and get a slice of the pie are hardly good people.

These people aren't good-for-nothings; they're just not good people.

These people value their lives highly, and they will not let Chen Luo go, especially since they are certain that Chen Luo can guarantee he will not die if the surgery fails.

In short, Chen Luo is bound to have a conflict with these kinds of people; either Chen Luo will back down or they will.

To some extent, the fusion surgery was not under the control of these people, partly due to the extremely high uncertainty of the procedure.

Using the silent killing method of Honkai Sickness to eliminate others is not the exclusive domain of Cannon Fodder No. 1. In fact, if these high-ranking officials were to unite and want to silence people, they could simply guide Honkai Sickness to gather in a certain place and quietly wait for the Honkai to erupt.

For example... Dusk Street.

"Hey, Snake Snake, do you really think you'll die in the future?" Chen Luo suddenly asked, looking at Snake's beautiful appearance.

"Huh? What a silly question!" Mobius frowned.

"Is it possible that one day in the future, you might feel that your pursuit of infinity has reached its end, and you will perish along with the Previous Era?" Chen Luo asked.

"What you're saying, 'Is it possible,' could be my future fate?" Upon hearing Chen Luo's question, Mobius closed the book in his hand.

"After all, it seems like my future self has never shown up. Otherwise, wouldn't it be more like the three of me together to see what you're looking for?" Mobius said.

"Hmm, three Snake Snake ..." Chen Luo actually started thinking.

"Alright, stop thinking about it. If I didn't have you in the future, I should die, but with you, I obviously won't."

Mobius had been studying the concept of time, but he had never been able to fully understand it.

Especially since Chen Luo, the true practitioner, never gave himself any parameters, and the other Mobius preferred to give himself incomplete information, leaving him confused but unable to provide any answers, the research progress was truly disrupted.

"Having witnessed the vastness of many worlds, the idea of perishing alongside Previous Era is not the right ending for me. With my abilities, I won't die if I don't want to. The fact that I had that thought must mean I was influenced by something, or that I wanted to do something, or that I had some backup plan."

"But now someone has come along who has a greater influence on me." Mobius said, glancing at Chen Luo.

"If possible, if the Previous Era were to perish, I have no interest in hiding behind the scenes forever. Could you take me with you...?"

... Give me access to the bar and take me to other worlds to pursue true infinity?

The world is so big, Mobius wants to see it.

Mobius had long known that there are limits to being human.

So Mobius stopped being a human being a long time ago.

Mobius had long suspected that Chen Luo was hiding something from him, not because Chen Luo didn't want to share, but because he couldn't.

Mobius the insightful journalist Chen Luo once remarked. "Everything in the world has its own destiny. When there is no destiny, it is easy to change; but once destiny is established, it is extremely difficult to change." Fortunately, fate cannot be changed, but it can be manipulated.

Perhaps only after he had truly lived out his destined fate would the other party be willing to reveal those things that were even more exciting for Mobius.

Mobius was pursuing the evolution of humankind.

However, judging from the situation of the next civilization, it seems that it has not succeeded.

So the only way to break this deadlock is to go to other worlds.

"The Doctor, here are the 100 times you requested as punishment." Just as Mobius was organizing his thoughts, wanting to express his wishes to Chen Luo hear his reply, someone cheerfully entered the lounge without even knocking.

"..." The atmosphere that was originally going smoothly was completely disrupted, and Mobius was immediately silenced.

If someone had appeared a few seconds earlier and hadn't raised the question, Mobius wouldn't have had any expectations.

If he had appeared a few seconds later, after asking the question and waiting for the other person to leave Mobius could have had Chen Luo answer his question.

But now, Mobius can't ask the question anymore.

It's like sneezing. Nothing happens before or after you sneeze, but if someone pats you on the back just as you're about to sneeze but can't, you might feel like strangling them for a moment.

Therefore, Mobius is very angry now.

So, someone's going to be in trouble.

"Alright, just leave the punishment writing there," Mobius said with a cold face.

"Okay, I'll be going now, the Doctor." Danzhu nodded happily and winked at Chen Luo.

Upon seeing this, Mobius's face grew even colder.

"Oh, right, Danju." Mobius suddenly called out to Danju, who was about to leave.

"Hmm? The Doctor, is there something you need?" Danzhu turned her head and asked.

"After work, come to my lounge, I'll give you..." Mobius pushed up his non-prescription glasses that reflected a cold light and slowly uttered words that were completely inconsistent with his 37-degree body temperature.

Chapter 466 Heroic Spirit? Self-Destruction? Low-Star? Stella!

"Uh, uh, uh..." Chen Luo couldn't help but feel pity as he watched Danzhu walk out blankly like a zombie.

"Snake Snake, why are you suddenly angry?" Chen Luo asked curiously.

Herrscher of the Heart is truly unfathomable; we were just having a pleasant conversation when Danzhu walked in and her expression changed instantly.

"I'm not angry." Mobius said coldly as he opened the book he was only halfway through reading.

"Danzhu, what's wrong? Why do you look so lifeless? Did you fail to fool me 100 times?" Cang Xuan asked in a low voice.

"No, the Doctor didn't even look at it, so he must have just brushed it off."

"That's a good thing, why are you looking so gloomy?" Cang Xuan asked, puzzled.

"But Mobius, I mean, she wants me to work overtime tonight. She'll give me a vivid and engaging lesson on fusion surgery. The worst part is, there's no overtime pay..." Danju said, sounding almost like she was about to cry.

For Danzhu...

Working overtime after get off work.

Assisting with fusion surgery.

There is no overtime pay.

Alone with Doctor Mobius (specifically referring to Mobius's teaching methods)

There are four extremely terrifying options.

However, now all four options are combined.

"Kill me! I don't want to live anymore!" Danzhu was almost crying.

"Ah, how did you offend Doctor Mobius?" Cang Xuan was shocked.

According to Cang Xuan's understanding, if Doctor Mobius could do something so harmful and self-defeating, Danzhu must have said something he shouldn't have said, or seen something he shouldn't have seen.

After all, for Doctor Mobius, giving Danzhu a lesson was not exactly a pleasant experience.

"I don't know. I didn't say anything. I just went in and told the Doctor that I had finished copying the punishment. Could it be because I didn't knock?" Danzhu said uncertainly.

"Didn't you knock? What did you see in the lounge when you went in? Who did you see? Was there anything unusual?"

"No, I didn't see anything special. Doctor Mobius and Alop were just sitting in the lounge, nothing special," Danju said after recalling for a moment.

"Oh, it was just the Doctor and Alo? When you went in, were Alo and Doctor Mobius close together? After you opened the door, were they disheveled or blushing?"

Cang Xuan suddenly had an extremely bold idea.

Cang Xuan had previously noticed that the relationship between Chen Luo and Doctor Mobius seemed to be more than just that of the Doctor and his assistant.

Could it be...?

"No, Cang Xuan, why are you asking this?"

"Oh." Cang Xuan was a little disappointed for a moment, which was the disdain of a bystander for a greenhorn.

Hey, this is so boring.

"Cang Xuan, please help me! How am I supposed to get through this crisis? Why don't you pretend to be me and go to Doctor Mobius's class? I'll treat you to three days' worth of meals!" The clever Danzhu came up with another brilliant plan.

"Let's set aside the fact that the Doctor will definitely recognize the two of us, and do you think I'll go just because you don't want to?" Cang Xuan looked at Dan Zhu with some disdain.

Who are you trying to fool with three days' worth of meals?

"Besides, it's just after-school tutoring, what are you afraid of?"

"It's just after-school tutoring. If you're not afraid, why don't you go?" Danzhu looked down on Cang Xuan, who was talking without any sense of responsibility.

"Me? Ahem, I suddenly remembered I have something to do tonight..."

"... Then do you think if I go to the Doctor now and tell her I'm willing to write the lab safety rules 100 times, could she exempt me from this punishment?" Danzhu thought of another brilliant idea.

"I don't think that will work. Also, don't make a living by copying lab safety rules. The person responsible for writing the lab safety rules for you is just incredibly unlucky," Cang Xuan complained.

I don't know which unlucky kid or which few unlucky kids were responsible for helping Danzhu copy the laboratory safety rules.

That's so pitiful.

Because of Chen Luo's insistence, after slacking off in the lounge for an hour, Chen Luo received three surgery notification messages in quick succession.

It's not that Chen Luo looks down on them, but most of those who were sent here for fusion surgery in the early stages were really just cannon fodder.
