The Warm and Cheerful Prince of Chiba Academy-Kevin

It's not that May would change after becoming the leader of the Fire Moth, but rather that after reaching that point, May would have more to consider.

But not now. Now May can devote half her attention to research and the other half to Kevin.

After all, while the impending Honkai is indeed putting a lot of pressure on everyone, it hasn't reached the point where everyone is in danger.

Kevin's feelings weren't one-sided, so this was a happy thing for both Kevin and May.

"Give me two minutes. Kevin, come here." After confirming that Dr. Mei did have time, Chen Luo beckoned to Kevin.

Although Chen Luo could use the Imaginary Stigmata to suppress Kevin's Ice Pig Physique in a very short time.

The problem is that Chen Luo is currently pretending to be a newbie.

Therefore, it takes a bit longer.

[Ding! Mission complete]

"Phew, this is really suffering." Chen Luo shook his hands, which felt extremely cold to the touch.

Because Chen Luo had to apply a weakness buff to himself while suppressing the opponent's Ice Pig physique to make himself appear less strong, he suffered quite a bit.

Making one's physical strength only slightly stronger than that of an ordinary person, while simultaneously enduring Kevin's icy body, was indeed quite difficult.

However, 300 Primogem were indeed quite satisfactory to Chen Luo.

Furthermore, there's a random ice-type item waiting for Chen Luo...

"What amazing power!" But before Chen Luo could even open the box, someone crowded around him.

"Vill-V ..." Chen Luo narrowed his eyes warily as the other person approached.

"Don't be so wary of me. This is Fire Moth. I won't do anything excessive to you. Besides, you're Mobius's assistant, and Mobius and I are friends, so we're friends too, aren't we?"

"Doctor Mobius said I should stay away from you," Chen Luo said honestly.

"Oh dear, Mobius is really a little wary of me. I don't have any interest in human research like she does, so why is she so worried about you?" Vill-V shook her head and sighed, as if she was quite saddened by Mobius's distrust.

"..."

No, you may have misunderstood. Mobius is worried about your safety.

"Oh dear, to ease the tension between us, how about... I perform a magic trick for you?" Vill-V changed the subject.

[Ding! You have a new request!]

"Huh? Did we jump to that topic so quickly?"

"So, young man, do you want to watch?" Vill-V looked at Chen Luo expectantly.

"Hmm, I have a feeling that even if I don't want to watch, you'll still put on a show for me. So, please begin your performance." Chen Luo found a stool and sat down.

The key is that there are Primogem.

"Oh my, such a well-behaved audience member is truly touching. So, young man, what kind of magic tricks would you like to see? I can conjure up anything!" Vill-V seemed quite pleased with Chen Luo's behavior.

"Well, Great Magician, can you conjure up a wife for me?" Chen Luo asked expectantly.

"... Do I look like your wife to you? Are you trying to sabotage me? Just kidding. The magic show is about to begin. First up is the basic skill of all Magus: retrieving a dove from a hat." Vill-V removed her hat.

"But... Great Magician Vill-V, didn't you say you could transform anything? Then I want a wife. If not, a girlfriend will do too," Chen Luo said, raising his hand somewhat persistently.

"Oh dear, it seems the audience is quite picky. Is turning pigeons no longer enough to satisfy your appetite? Then let's try something new. Next up is the gear magic trick."

"Um, I'm not interested in gear magic, I think..."

No, you don't want to.

"I think..."

"You! Don't! Want to!"

Chapter 481 The Warm and Cheerful Prince of the Senba Academy — Kevin

"Are you two done playing?" Half a minute is a very short time, not even enough time to cook the instant noodles. Mei, who quickly reappeared, asked Chen Luo and Vill-V.

In fact, May and Kevin didn't go to any other room. They ran to a corner of the lab and hugged each other gently, and that was the end of it.

After all, you really can't do anything in half a minute.

However, it seems that neither May nor Kevin has any complaints about this.

Kevin, who always had a cold, expressionless face, seemed to have become slightly more cheerful, but only slightly.

"It seems that the limit of power is probably here. Today's quota has been used up. If you want to experience the full version, please recharge to unlock it in time." Chen Luo turned to Mei and Kevin and said.

"Don't worry about us, we get along really well. Vill-V has been trying to do me a magic trick, saying she'd conjure up a girlfriend for me," Chen Luo said.

"No, I didn't say that! And can't you think about anything other than your girlfriend?" Vill-V sighed after categorically denying the matter.

The audience these days is getting harder and harder to manage, and An even produced an audience member like Chen Luo who completely refused to cooperate with the Magus's performance.

"But you said you could transform into anything, you Great Magician."

"It seems the audience has really high expectations of me this time, even making such a request. You could conjure up Mobius for you if you wanted it, but you insist on having a girlfriend..." Vill-V, slightly troubled.

Chen Luo's request is truly too difficult for people.

How could Vill-V possibly know what Chen Luo's ideal girlfriend would look like?

"By the way, dear viewers, what do you think of Elysia?" Vill-V suddenly asked Chen Luo.

"Yeah, I think Elysia is the kind of person who would definitely get sacked if left out in the open," Chen Luo said.

"The one who died must be the one in the sack," Kevin added coldly.

As a comrade-in-arms Kevin knows best how powerful Elysia is.

After all, before Kevin arrived, Elysia was the most powerful warrior in the entire Fire Moth.

One punch can smash a Temple-class Honkai Beast to pieces.

Elysia's position in the Fire Moth was the same as Durandal's position in Schicksal.

Just as Elysia was able to deal with the Second Herrscher, Elysia can also easily deal with the person who put a sack over her head.

"Hmm, dear audience, your idea is very dangerous." Even Vill-V couldn't help but comment on the potential negative effects of Chen Luo's actions.

"It's dangerous for you," Vill-V added.

"Then... the great Great Magician Vill-V, if I really want to put a sack over Elysia's head, how can I do it without her beating me to death?" Chen Luo tilted his head and asked.

"That's not difficult. First, you need to have a good relationship with the other person. If you're a beautiful girl, it will be even better. Second, you need to tell them half a day or a day in advance that you're going to give them a surprise the next day... Some skilled people can tell whose footsteps are behind them. If you meet these two conditions, and then add some special little tricks, you can ensure that you won't get punched and have your intestines spilled out when you're putting Elysia's sack on her."

"Of course, if possible, be sure to change the sack to a color that Elysia likes. That way, Elysia, who gets angry after being covered in it, might spare your life because of the sack," Vill-V said confidently.

"What kind of little trick is it?" Chen Luo pressed.

"Wait... no, how did the topic veer off course like this? I was originally going to ask you what you thought of Elysia, right?" Vill-V suddenly asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Elysia is very good, very beautiful, and very strong. She's the kind of person who'd easily get caught in a sack if she went out into the world," Chen Luo said again, this time adding a few more adjectives.

"Can you please stop thinking about your sack? Although I think the chances of getting Elysia to willingly put a sack over her head are quite high if we use the excuse of performing a magic trick to make a beautiful girl disappear into a sack." Having been subtly led astray by Chen Luo, Vill-V began to think.

Originally, Vill-V wanted to ask if Elysia met Chen Luo's criteria for finding a girlfriend or wife.

But as we talked, the conversation drifted to another magic trick involving making a person appear out of nowhere.

emmm...

In particular, since Vill-V was somewhat interested in the magic trick of making a person disappear, the topic of conversation completely veered off course.

"If you were just playing a prank and put a sack over Elysia's head, Elysia might not be angry, but you might get beaten up afterwards. Or you'd have to spend even more effort to appease her," Kevin said with a sigh.

"However, if possible, I don't recommend causing trouble for Elysia. Pranks are also not recommended."

"Alright, you two shouldn't be discussing magic-related things in such a serious place as the lab," Mei said with a hint of exasperation.

Mei's current status can only be considered relatively high, and the heavy responsibility of resisting Honkai has not fallen on her shoulders, so she is still relatively shy and gentle.

For example, May was even willing to provide Chen Luo with a fake identity so that Mobius could attend Kevin's birthday party later.

In terms of cost-effectiveness alone, the effort put in was completely disproportionate to the reward, but Mei still did it.

"Alas, dear audience, it seems there's no time to prepare a magic trick for you. We'll have to perform it another time. Well, a magic show that ends without a beginning is, in a way, a surprise, isn't it?"

"Huh? Wait, you're not going to do magic anymore? No, Vill-V, at least do a little magic trick, anything will do." Chen Luo had been being unreasonable while Vilvie was doing a little magic trick, but now that she didn't want to do any magic tricks anymore, Chen Luo panicked.

"Now it's time to get back to work, dear audience. I appreciate your enthusiasm, but this really can only happen next time," Vill-V sighed.

"..."

My quest! My 50 Primogem!

Since the request from Vill-V required watching Vill-V's performance to obtain the Primogem, Chen Luo, who did not watch Vill-V's performance at all, naturally could not obtain the Primogem.

Chen Luo was at a loss for words, unsure whether to regret his decision or try harder.

"Um... great Magus, shouldn't there be a bonus scene after a magic show? At least give me a bonus scene, right?" Chen Luo said, still somewhat unwilling to give up.

That's 50 Primogem!

It's unbearable to repair!

"Wow, this is the first time I've met such an enthusiastic audience member. Since you insist, then..."

Vill-V felt somewhat helpless about Chen Luo's enthusiasm.

Vill-V sensed Chen Luo's passion for magic and his undisguised desire.

So Vill-V suddenly took two steps forward and approached Chen Luo, her fingers brushing past Chen Luo's ear, and then she lightly snapped her fingers.

"Snap!" A bouquet of flowers suddenly appeared in Vill-V's hands.

"As a bonus, this bouquet of flowers is for our dear audience. Such enthusiastic viewers are almost overwhelming," Vill-V exclaimed.

Although Vill-V said it was a bit troublesome, Vill-V still looked quite happy.

[Ding! Mission complete]

"As expected of Great Magician, he's truly amazing," Chen Luo clapped.

Great, the mission is finally complete, here are my fifty Primogem!

"If you ever want to perform magic in the Vill-V, please consider me. Thank you."

If you ever want to send me Primogem again, please remember to call me.

"In a sense, I guess I'm being idolized too?" Vill-V tilted her head and thought to herself.

"..."

That's a real shame. Your only fan isn't attracted to your personal charm, your magic tricks, or even your body; they're attracted to your Primogem.

hhhhc

After taking up half a minute of Dr. Mei's time, Kevin and Chen Luo stepped back, leaving the space to Dr. Mei and Vill-V.

Kevin needs to continue training to better master his ability to manipulate ice and snow, and Chen Luo should also return to the Mei Biu Si Laboratory.

"Kevin, I think your concerns are valid. If we can guarantee a 100% success rate in preventing death after a failed surgery, then if something really goes wrong, the other person's family might fight me to the death," Chen Luo said on the way back to the Mei Biu Si Laboratory.

Why did you suddenly bring up this issue?

"It was just something I felt compelled to say."

The main reason was that Chen Luo remembered the last volunteer of the day, who hadn't sent out any requests.

Logically speaking, those who come for fusion surgery must have a wish: either to survive or to become Flame-Chaser.

But that person simply didn't issue any commission.

It's impossible to be without desires or wants, so the only explanation is that the other party believed that Chen Luo could guarantee their survival even if the surgery failed.

Meanwhile, the other party is just a volunteer who was forced into this role by higher-ups and had no intention of becoming Flame-Chaser, so there won't be any requests from either party.

"That might indeed have some impact, but it's clearly stated on the notice board. You can only guarantee about an 80% chance of survival after a failed surgery; that's a high probability of success, not a guarantee. Otherwise, those high-ranking members of the Fire Moth, those who vehemently oppose this plan, would definitely be very interested in the fusion surgery," Kevin said.

After a period of research, the medical department has discovered that even those who did not become Flame-Chaser after a failed fusion surgery still experienced some improvement in their physical condition.

These are all things that the higher-ups who are paying attention to this matter should know.

The reason the other party hasn't come to Chen Luo yet to ask him to perform the fusion surgery is because they doubt the success rate.

Although the fact that Cannon Fodder No. 1 took the lead in testing the waters alone attracted the interest of many high-ranking officials, it is a pity that these people are too unlucky, as they need a sufficient number of experimental subjects.
