Old Bug, You and I Hit It Off at First Sight

"To be honest, if it costs me 200 Mora to open the bar door once, then multiplying that number by 100 would be enough to buy your ability. But now I only need 1/10000 of your ability sample."

If it weren't for the fact that the other party's talent couldn't be sold separately, Chen Luo's 200 Primogem could indeed buy a 1% sample of the other party's ability.

"... Deal. But a contract must be signed first." After thinking for a while, Yakumo Yukari reopened her folding fan.

"Furthermore, besides this world, if we encounter a suitable world, you must let me in as well. We don't need a written contract; a verbal agreement will suffice."

Because signing a contract is useless.

After all, Yakumo Yukari didn't know those worlds, and Yakumo Yukari was fooled by Chen Luo without even realizing it.

"It's a pleasure to cooperate with you." Chen Luo extended his right hand to Yakumo Yukari.

"I entrust my body to you, please cherish it well." Yakumo Yukari didn't use telepathy, but spoke directly, looking quite pitiful.

"!!!" ×N

"Damn it!" Feeling the various ambiguous but somewhat contemptuous and annoyed gazes cast from all over the bar, Chen Luo almost swore.

Yakumo Yukari, you tricked me!

Chapter 546 Old Worm, We've One Sight Like Old Friends

[Ding! You have a new request!]

[My body]: To give Yakumo Yukari a suitable identity to enter the Type-Moon World.

Rewards: 400 Primogem + random rewards + 10 points of affinity with Yakumo Yukari

Difficulty: 3 stars

Damn it!

Are you there? Why did you choose such a task name?

Where in the entire quest is it written that it relates to "my body"?

And if I say I'll only let the other person go to the Type-Moon World for a minimum of 400 Primogem, will I really give them a minimum of 400 Primogem?

Fine, I'll let it slide since there's a random reward.

Sigh, random rewards are getting harder and harder to come by lately.

"Alright, the contract has been signed." Chen Luo said, handing the contract to Yakumo Yukari.

Generally, after a contract is signed, it is handed over to the other party. Only after the contract is completed will Chen Luo's Book of Contracts record the contract.

"Jingle"

"Uh, Chen Luo, why are there so many disgusting bugs at your doorstep?" The wind chimes rang out, and as soon as Mobius entered the bar, he saw a huge swarm of bugs, densely packed at the Bar Door, making it impossible to step out.

"Uh, it was an accident, but it's not a big deal. Anyway, you don't have to leave." Chen Luo waved his hand after seeing that it was Little Mei Biu Si.

Anyway, Mobius never had to walk; Mobius simply sat on the floating robot that Vill-V had made and floated around.

"However, this thing is indeed a problem."

If it weren't Mobius but someone else, seeing these insects would indeed easily Herrscher of the Heart disgust, and it would be impossible to step over these densely packed, somewhat bulky insects to enter the bar.

With a wave of his hand, Chen Luo all the insects that had been transformed into his puppets.

"What are these things?" Mobius asked, frowning.

"A bunch of bugs from Different World, they're definitely not good stuff, kids will get styes if they look at them."

"Chen Luo, how many times have I told you? Don't try to coax me like you're a child!" Mobius said, sounding unusually agitated after hearing Chen Luo's words.

"Hey, you didn't tell me?" Chen Luo was taken aback.

"... Fine. Just remember not to talk to me like that. And don't call me a child," Mobius said, annoyed.

"So... Snake Snake, do you think there's still a possibility that your figure can grow?" Chen Luo asked curiously.

"Mind your own business!" Mobius glared at Chen Luo.

After realizing that his gaze couldn't kill, Mobius poked the insects with his fingers, which were covered in metal cots.

Mobius was somewhat interested in the insects from Different World.

Although it does look a bit disgusting.

"We're going to explore other worlds soon, Snake Snake, do you want to come?"

"... Do you think I can go? Or do you allow me to go?" Mobius rolled his eyes at Chen Luo.

"Uh, okay, never mind."

Mobius is only able to come to the bar because of the special circumstances there; going to Different World would indeed seem a bit of a stretch.

"Anyway, it's not like I haven't been there before. I'm not interested. It's just the Type-Moon World, isn't it?" Mobius sneered when he saw Chen Luo's expression.

"Hmm? Oh."

Chen Luo was indeed surprised when he heard the name from Mobius, but upon closer reflection, it wasn't surprising that Mobius, who had been to the bar in the Previous Era, knew these things.

Speaking of foreseeing the future, Chen Luo remembered that he originally planned to summon Raiden Mei tonight, but plans are subject to change, and it seems that he will have to go to other worlds to expand his territory again.

That means I can only summon Raiden Mei when I have some free time before the lottery draw; cramming at the last minute isn't a bad idea.

"Since you know the inside story, Snake Snake, tell me what you'll experience?" After hearing Mobius's words, Chen Luo moved closer to Mobius.

"Don't get so close to me. Stay away from me." Mobius pushed Chen Luo's face away in disgust.

"Don't be so formal, Snake Snake."

"I don't know much about the Type-Moon World. I only know that you've been there, and I've also been there occasionally, but for very short periods. After all, we're not in the same research field, so why would I be interested in that world?"

Mobius's research focused on biology, while the Type-Moon World was more about magical knowledge.

They are definitely not in the same research direction.

"However, that Third Magic: Materialization of the Soul is quite interesting, but unfortunately it's not suitable for me." Mobius rarely showed a regretful expression.

"Soul Materialization, Old Undead ... that's really not suitable for you. After all, Snake Snake, isn't your most important goal right now to grow taller?" Chen Luo patted Mobius's head.

Mobius wasn't pursuing Old Undead; in fact, if it were merely about Old Undead, Mobius had already achieved that.

Immortality is definitely not a problem. If you don't age, whenever you feel old, you can commit suicide and become young again.

If one suicide isn't enough, then commit suicide a few more times.

Furthermore, while Flame-Chaser can indeed grow up and age slowly, Flame-Chaser growth cycle is extremely long. Just look at the Shenzhou tablet, which took 50,000 years... cough

In short, Mobius was pursuing the infinite.

Although the Soul Materialization results in an immortal soul, it is also possible to create a perfect physical body that matches the immortal soul.

But in Mobius's view, there is nothing truly perfect in the world, only things that are more perfect.

"Little lab rat, just say you want to die." It's clear that Mobius was very angry about Chen Luo's insult.

"Don't be angry, come on, smile. And tell me what you want to say." Chen Luo pinched Mobius's face without any politeness and forced a smile on his face.

"Slap!" Mobius angrily slapped Chen Luo's hands away.

However, Mobius didn't seem particularly angry, just annoyed.

"According to the contract, I can't reveal too much to you. Elysia and the others kept your secret on their own initiative, worried that the distortion of history would cause trouble for the new civilization. I'm different; I signed a contract with you, so I can provide you with even less information," Mobius said, pulling Chen Luo's ear.

"Contracts... what a troublesome thing."

Chen Luo knew it was hopeless when he heard about the contract.

Chen Luo was aware of the binding nature of the contract.

"Aren't there any loopholes or anything like that in the contract you signed?" Chen Luo asked again, still somewhat unwilling to give up.

What do you think? Do you believe your future self will leave a flaw in your past that even you can see through?

"Well."

That's what they said, but the fact that there were no loopholes to exploit did indeed disappoint Chen Luo.

"Alright, Snake Snake, you're useless now, you can leave." Chen Luo walked back to the bar in disappointment.

"..." Upon hearing Chen Luo's words, Mobius followed silently and then delivered a hard blow to the back of Chen Luo's head.

Although it's not appropriate to hurt each other in a bar, Mobius was still unhappy if he didn't give Chen Luo a taste of his own medicine.

"Alright, Chen Luo, hurry up and open the door. I'm really looking forward to that Different World." Yakumo Yukari had already signed the contract, urged Chen Luo impatiently.

"Honestly, are you always in such a hurry to rush me? Don't you know how to prepay for the goods or something?"

Chen Luo was definitely referring to a slice of the opponent's abilities.

"Shouldn't payment be made on a cash-on-delivery basis? Let's talk about it after you've fulfilled my wish," Yakumo Yukari said, shaking her head.

"Alright."

As he spoke, Chen Luo walked towards the Bar Door.

"..."

An Old Worm... An old man who didn't look very kind and was also quite ugly stood at the entrance of the basement, frowning as he looked at the insects surging back and forth inside and the white-haired man floating in the sea of insects.

"What happened?" Although he didn't ask it aloud, the question still echoed in the old man's mind.

"Hey, Yan Ye, you... never mind, judging from your appearance, you probably don't know anything, right?" Looking at the white-haired man whose body had been crawled over by countless insects, the Old Worm hesitated to speak.

The other person's lifeless eyes testified to their current mental state.

Although the other party did persevere in the transformation for a year, their mental state was still in a state of disarray during the "Myriad Worms Devour the Heart" phase.

From a certain perspective, Matou Kariya is indeed a person with extremely strong spirit.

The person standing at the basement door, watching Matou Kariya Myriad Worms Devour the Heart, is Matou Kariya's legal father, but in reality, he is an old monster from hundreds of years ago— Matou Zouken.

An Old Worm that transforms itself into an insect, parasitizing others to prolong its lifespan. Its body is no different from that of a monster. Because of this, it dislikes sunlight and usually hides in dark places.

Although I have indeed had experience as Justice Embodiment,... that's all in the past.

The Old Worm is just an Old Worm now.

The Old Worm looked down at the insects in the basement and Matou Kariya floating in the sea of insects.

The Old Worm indeed sensed that its insects had suddenly lost contact with it, and there were quite a few of them, numbering in the hundreds.

Although they only represent a portion of the insects in the entire insect bank, they are still a force to be reckoned with, especially when the Old Worm came to the basement and found nothing unusual, which made the Old Worm even more vigilant.

To enter one's Magecraft Workshop without warning and then steal one's familiar is something that makes one take the other's existence seriously, as well as their purpose.

After pondering for a moment, the Old Worm tapped the basement floor with its wooden cane. The insects that had been churning in the insect chamber froze for a moment without warning, and then countless pieces of information began to flow into the Old Worm's mind through the connection between its master and its familiar.

Immediately afterward, as if receiving some kind of instruction, the insects quickly and orderly gathered together, and then slowly stacked themselves into a strange shape.

"..." The old table frowned as it looked at the huge door in front of it.

It looks like the door of a bar, with a name written on it.

"Zero Bar?" Old Worm was quite knowledgeable enough to recognize the four Chinese names on the bar's sign.

Why did this thing suddenly appear?

The Old Worm was completely baffled.

Just as the Old Worm was about to order the bugs to break formation and return to normal, a beam of light suddenly flashed in the dark basement. A Bar Door, almost identical to the structure the bugs had built, suddenly appeared in the gloomy basement, only a step away from the door that looked like it had been constructed by the bugs.

Old Worm was stunned for a moment when he saw the Bar Door that suddenly appeared in front of him.

"What's going on?"

The situation here also attracted the attention of a white-haired adult male who was originally floating in the sea of insects.

Just now, this light seemed to appear once, but Matou Kariya didn't pay attention to it because at that time, almost all of his senses were taken away by the pain of the Engraving Insect' invasion, which made Matou Kariya's senses very dull.

At the same time, Yakumo Yukari closed the door so quickly that Matou Kariya didn't even have time to turn around and look at the place where the light was shining before the bar door was closed.

Now it's different. Just now, under the Old Worm's command, all the insects that had inflicted pain on Matou Kariya were used to restore the bar's appearance, so Matou Kariya's pain came to an end, and thus Matou Kariya had the energy to look at the Bar Door.

"Holy crap, what's going on? So many bugs?" A young man's voice came from inside the Bar Door that had suddenly appeared and then suddenly opened.

"Wait a minute, the shape formed by these bugs looks so much like the Bar Door!" Chen Luo, who had spent 200 Primogem to use the coordinates of the hundreds of Engraving Insect to push open the Bar Door, was stunned.

Damn it, could it be that even if I don't open the door, someone will still open it and come looking for me?
