"I'm sorry, Alo," Danzhu suddenly apologized.

"Huh? What's wrong?" Chen Luo was taken aback.

"I shouldn't have denied your ideals. Changing an imperfect world into the way you hope is indeed an ideal worth being proud of and striving for. And even in the face of such a desperate situation, you still have hope... I was presumptuous just now." Danzhu's face was full of apology.

All of the other person's relatives and friends have passed away, but they still want to change the whole world, completely drive out the Honkai, and create a truly beautiful world.

Based on this alone, Danzhu felt that her earlier mockery... well, it couldn't be called mockery, but rather a knowing smile at someone's chuunibyou (delusional) remarks... but it was indeed a bit too much.

"Oh... you don't need to apologize, your apology makes me..."

If you apologize like this, how am I supposed to deal with you tonight?

Smile again.

The happier you laugh, the more at ease I'll feel when I make you kneel on durians and copy things as punishment tonight.

Looking at Danzhu, who was full of apologies and apologizing to him, Chen Luo felt depressed.

"Okay, I'll head back to my dorm now," Chen Luo said after greeting Elysia and Danzhu Cang Xuan.

"Sigh, it's not even 11 o'clock yet, and your lab is already closed?" Elysia turned to look at Cang Xuan and Danzhu.

"We haven't finished get off work yet, but he has. I remember he came back after performing three surgeries in a row and just stood here in a daze for about 20 minutes. Considering his workload, he's finished his day's get off work and can definitely go home," Danzhu said with some envy, but she knew she couldn't be envious.

Watching a fusion surgery experiment is stressful enough, let alone being an assistant, especially for three consecutive surgeries.

"Alright, don't be so envious of me. After all, performing three surgeries in a row, even as an assistant, has indeed taken a lot of physical exertion. And compared to the physical exertion, the mental exertion is even greater, since I have to control my abilities, which is a very mentally taxing task," Chen Luo said, waving his hand.

In fact, Chen Luo was indeed a bit tired. After all, creating three Flame-Chaser in a row had yielded a total of 400 Primogem, but he was still exhausted.

Chen Luo originally thought that the three surgeries today would be enough to implant three Puppet Mark, but various unexpected events turned Chen Luo casual approach into a successful operation for all three people.

Well.

"Huh? Are you going back to your dorm? We're going the same way, how about we go back together?" Elysia blinked.

Alicia had originally come to talk to Mebius after combat training because she had nothing else to do, but now Chen Luobi was more interesting to Alicia than Mebius, so she decisively changed her mind and moved on.

"...Okay." Chen Luo nodded, looking at the obvious lie.

However, Chen Luo was not opposed to getting closer to Elysia first.

After Chen Luo and Elysia left without saying goodbye, a while later Mobius and Vill-V walked out of the room containing the Herrscher Core of Flame.

"Strange... why does it feel like the Honkai energy concentration in this Herrscher Core storage room has subtly decreased a little?" Vill-V, who came out carrying a small black box, asked Mobius with some confusion.

This situation has not occurred in at least the previous Herrscher Core transfers. After all, according to Vill-V's observation, the rate at which the Honkai energy of the Herrscher Core is lost is constant, which means that you can calculate the storage time by testing the Honkai energy concentration in the storage room. However, this time the storage time is not proportional to the Honkai energy concentration.

Honkai energy has inexplicably decreased.

"I don't know." Mobius did not give Vill-V a definite answer.

"Who went to the Herrscher Core storage room during that time?"

"The entire laboratory staff, since no one would refuse to take a look at something like this," Mobius replied casually.

"So that includes that new guy, Luo, from your lab?" Vill-V asked with interest.

"What are you planning to do? Here's a piece of advice: don't get curious about him." Upon hearing Chen Luo's name from Vill-V, Mobius narrowed his eyes, something he hadn't done in a long time.

"Don't look at me with such a dangerous gaze. But the more you care about him, the more curious I become about your relationship and how important the other is to you..." After seeing Mobius's gaze, Vill-V moved to the side.

"I warned you not to have any unnecessary curiosity about him," Mobius reiterated.

"Oh, are you in a hurry? The more anxious you are, the more curious I become. Okay, okay, I'll listen to you, alright?" When she saw Mobius stop and look at her, Vill-V immediately gave in.

However, while admitting defeat, Vill-V also confirmed some things: even if Chen Luo had nothing to do with the decrease in Honkai energy concentration, his relationship with Mobius was very special, or rather, his very existence was quite special.

"Mobius, you know me. I'm always very receptive to advice, and I wouldn't have any strange thoughts about your Lo. I'm just a mechanic, not some biologist." Vill-V received the message.

"Ha, listen to advice? If you really listened to advice, you wouldn't have joined the Fire Moth in the first place." Mobius sneered.

As for Chen Luo's safety?

Not to mention Vill-V, even Mobius wanted to study Chen Luo. But could that be done?

Vill-V is indeed a genius, and in some ways she is similar to Mobius, but... what makes Vill-V capable of doing what Mobius couldn't?

Based on her personality?

"Alright, let's not talk about that anymore. Let's talk about the fusion surgery. I have a feeling that Mobius 've become more dangerous since you had the fusion surgery, and I mean in a physical and martial sense," Vill-V casually mentioned.

"What? You're interested in fusion surgery too? It's not a mature technique, and the mortality rate is very high," Mobius said.

Although Mobius and Vill-V weren't exactly inseparable, Mobius still didn't want his fellow human to die in such a foolish way.

"Isn't that your little assistant? He can save the other person's life even if the fusion surgery fails... This is quite a story among the Fire Moth. Why don't we just have him perform the surgery for me? At worst, we'll have to wait in line for a while longer," Vill-V tentatively suggested.

"Hmm, so that's what you're thinking? Well... of course, if you want, I can have him schedule another fusion surgery tomorrow. After all, limits can be broken with a little effort. So, are you coming tomorrow?" For some reason, Mobius suddenly smiled and asked.

"Uh, no need, I'll think about it some more." Seeing Mobius's expression, Vill-V immediately refused.

Vill-V doesn't understand what Mobius is playing, so naturally she won't join the game.

Let's take a look first, there's no rush...

Chapter 470 Close the door and release Elysia!

"Elysia, you're quite popular among the Fire Moth."

Along the way, Chen Luo noticed that almost every member of the Fire Moth he encountered, whether they were soldiers, researchers, or ordinary staff, would greet Elysia.

Elysia's popularity in Fire Moth is indeed high, ridiculously high.

"There's no way around it, a cute girl's heart can do anything. How about you try becoming a cute girl, Little Luoluo? I think..."

"Not good at all!" Chen Luo refused outright.

I will never wear women's clothing. I will never wear women's clothing in my lifetime.

Unless... more money!

"Sigh, but I really want to see it." Elysia said with some anticipation.

Chen Luo usually appears to be rather thin and weak. The physique boost from the Infinite Serpent Chen Luo the power boost from the Semi-Conceptual Physique rarely manifest in Chen Luo muscles. The same applies to the enhancements he receives after completing missions. Therefore, Chen Luo not become a muscular giant.

In fact, this kind of highly deceptive image is the kind of image that Chen Luo considers acceptable.

A support role should act like a support role.

Those who are relatively thin and still have a childlike appearance are good candidates for cross-dressing.

Although Elysia had never had this idea before, it came to Elysia when she saw Chen Luo.

[Ding! You have a new request!]

"No." Chen Luo refused decisively.

Hilarious! Even though Chen Luo isn't someone who can't resist Primogem, he should at least give him more. Who are you trying to fool with Primogem?

"Alright." Seeing that Chen Luo refused, Elysia didn't insist anymore.

Anyway, it was just a flash of inspiration, not some wish or anything.

"By the way, do you need me to teach you how to be more welcoming?"

"Hmm... not really necessary." Chen Luo shook his head.

Chen Luo had figured it out; coming here every day to perform a few fusion surgeries would surely bring him considerable profits.

Some were seeking survival, while others aspired to become Flame-Chaser.

Great, just like a bar, now there's a fixed income.

"Alright, I don't think you're interested in a single man's dorm, so I won't invite you in." Chen Luo waved to Elysia as he walked to his dorm room door without realizing it, then pushed open the door, went inside, and closed it behind him.

Chen Luo should go home.

Therefore, inviting others into one's room would undoubtedly delay one's return home.

Chen Luo would never do something like that.

"..." As the door slowly closed, Elysia still had a smile on her face.

Unlike others who said goodbye to their friends, Elysia stood quietly at Chen Luo's door, smiling as she looked at Chen Luo room. She didn't leave.

[Ding! You have a new request!]

I feel like going in to take a look.

"..."

Looking at the commission of fifty Primogem that had just appeared, Chen Luo was conflicted.

I'll definitely accept this task, but whether I can complete it is another matter.

If he finishes it, his return home might be delayed, but if he doesn't, those 50 Primogem will just slip away. Chen Luo was unwilling to accept that.

"Ahem, I've been thinking, inviting a beautiful girl like you to my house would surely brighten my whole day. So please come in and have a seat." Chen Luo finally opened his door and said to Elysia was standing quietly in front of it with a smile.

"Okay," Elysia readily agreed.

After the other party agreed, Chen Luo had no choice but to bring them in.

Chen Luo had figured it out; aside from the fact that he really couldn't refuse the 50 Primogem...

Elysia just stood at her door, it wasn't a big deal!

If the other party doesn't leave, Chen Luo doesn't dare to open the bar and go back.

What if I leave and the other party suddenly tries to break in?

So tell the other person to look at it quickly and leave as soon as they're done.

"So, Little Luoluo, you really are a gentle person. You couldn't bear to see a Lonely Girl standing in front of the door."

"..."

[Ding! Mission complete]

No, you've misunderstood. I only want the Primogem.

You can leave now.

Chen Luo really suspected that if he didn't open the door for the other party, the other party might stand in front of his door for half a day.

If he were to kick the other person out now, the other person would have to look at him with a puffy face for the next three days.

I can't hold on any longer, I can't hold on any longer.

"Hmm, a very... very tidy room." Elysia entering Chen Luo 'Chen Luo room, Alicia looked around for a while before finally choosing this description.

The reason for this predicament is that Chen Luo's room really only contained the things that the Fire Moth dormitory originally brought with it, and basically nothing else that he brought with him.

The things in the dormitory are the dormitory's things, and everyone can decorate their dormitory according to their own wishes.

Therefore, each person's dormitory may have a different style.

Chen Luo hadn't paid much attention to this matter since arriving in this world, so Chen Luo room had absolutely no personal style; he even brought his water cup from Mobius's dormitory.

"Thank you for the compliment."

"This is not a compliment. You've been here for several days now, and you haven't even bothered to renovate your dorm room."

"Although Fire Moth says this is a dormitory, as long as there are no casualties or other problems, the dormitory will not be taken back. It's like giving you a home directly. Moreover, if you have made outstanding contributions, even if you die due to special reasons, this dormitory will be specially preserved for you."

"Of course, I'm referring to the soldiers' dormitories. The researchers shouldn't be in any immediate danger. So, you should renovate your own rooms. Speaking of which, I have some pink wallpaper left over from my dorm; do you need it?"

Even Elysia didn't have any particular feeling about the frequent deaths among the Fire Moth. Because it was normal.

Elysia is saddened by the passing of everyone, but she doesn't show much grief when talking about it.

"Pink wallpaper... never mind. Sit down, I'll get you a glass of water. Or would you like a drink? Black tea or cola?"

"Orange juice, thank you," said Elysia, who sat on the sofa looking quite docile.

However, Elysia's constantly shifting eyes indicated that Elysia was still observing the dormitory.

The dormitory Chen Luo lives in is the highest-level dormitory in the Candle Moth community. Logically speaking, Chen Luo shouldn't be able to live here; he should live in a lower-level dormitory, but the lower-level dormitory isn't bad either.

But why did Chen Luo choose the dormitory next to Mobius's dormitory?

Anyway, there were several dormitories next to Doctor Mobius's dormitory that were unoccupied, and the people there were brought by Mobius himself, so we just went along with it.
