The Flawless Klein-Please Keep Working Overtime! (Continued)
"In short, be careful, Mobius. You and I both know how fragile and precious life is, and that has nothing to do with whether or not we can be resurrected."
"Since you've said so, Bai Ge, then alright. I'll let you know next time there's an experiment."
"Hmm~ then there's no problem."
Bai Ge touched Mobius's cheek and slender waist. The Snakey's waist was a deadly weapon, a weapon that even the Pink Fairy could not match. He liked the Snakey very much.
Mobius licked her lips, her snake-like eyes revealing excitement. She had been feeling frustrated by the unsuccessful experiment, but her mood instantly brightened upon seeing Bai Ge.
Wow, I'm so envious...
"Doctor, you're cunning..."
Dan Zhu and Cang Xuan's eyes revealed the envy, jealousy, and resentment of single people. The two sisters looked at the Snakey with deep sorrow and resentment. Although Cang Xuan was expressionless, Dan Zhu was blowing air into the straw, making the milk tea gurgle.
Those two sisters are definitely pretty girls.
But no one ever dared to pursue them, mainly because they were members of the Mobius Laboratory.
Even beautiful girls wouldn't dare work in this place known as the 'Devil's Lair'.
But if everyone were single, that would be one thing. However, the culprit, Mobius, happens to have Bai Ge, an outrageously handsome and dream-like partner with top-notch qualities in every aspect.
The two sisters were incredibly envious.
Of course, they were also aware of the competitive relationship between their Dr. Mobius and Elysia, Sakura, Mei, Eden, and others, and knew the cruelty and danger of this love war.
But so what if it's a love war? There are so many competitors. At least Mobius can go to the battlefield, unlike single people like them who can only generate electricity by looking at notebooks.
Rustling sounds...
"Huh? Dan Zhu, what are you doing?"
Hearing a strange noise Cang Xuan turned around and saw his younger sister drawing something.
"Sister, please make way. It's rare for Bai Ge to come to the lab, so I need to gather some inspiration."
"... Send me a copy when you're done drawing."
Cang Xuan glanced at the content of the painting and raised an eyebrow, thinking that he had almost forgotten that this girl was also a master. Dan Zhu was good at sculpting figurines, drawing fan art, and writing novels. She had created many classic works that were secretly spread Moth Chasing Fire.
His current representative work is a beautiful white-haired boy with golden eyes, and his daily life in a love triangle with several female characters. It can only be said that the work has nothing to do with reality. If there are any similarities, it is not a coincidence.
"Bai Ge, we're planning to go out for a nice meal after work. Do you want to come along?" Klein said to him after finally finishing organizing the documents on the table.
"Okay, wait a minute, are you off work?"
Bai Ge showed a clearly surprised expression. He stared blankly at the green-haired girl in front of him with dark circles under her eyes that were almost as thick as a panda's. He was so shocked that he couldn't put his words into words.
Good heavens! What did I just hear?
The Immaculate One Klein said she was going home!
"... I think I might have been hallucinating just now. Klein, could you say it again?"
Bai Ge was dumbfounded. Klein was going home? You might as well have told me that the Herrscher of Finality was about to descend; I'd believe the latter more.
"Alright, Bai Ge, stop making that face. It's like I never give Klein a vacation."
"Snakey, put your hand on your heart and tell me, have you ever given Klein a vacation?"
"Forehead..."
Mobius silently looked away. She felt that she might have had that experience, although she didn't seem to remember it, but she probably just forgot it.
"Yes, I'm going home now."
Klein wore a happy expression, as if she had finally made it through. She hadn't left the lab for a week and had been working overtime for more than 20 consecutive days.
And at this very moment, she was Miracle??? granted a moment of leisure!
Klein vowed to make the most of every minute and second to completely relax herself.
Suddenly she swayed and was about to fall when Bai Ge caught her.
"Klein, are you alright?"
"Thank you for your concern, Bai Ge. I'm fine, but after working for 20 consecutive days, my body seems to have reached its limit before my mind. The doctor said I should go home and rest for half a day to adjust, and then come back in six hours."
After working continuously for nearly a month, Klein finally got a full half-day of rest.
It was so difficult, so incredibly difficult. She thought she would be working like this for the rest of her life, but she never expected to have a day when she could finally get off work.
Klein gratefully accepted the milk tea and drank it. She felt a warm current that not only soothed her stomach but also warmed her soul.
That's great, even milk tea tastes better after get off work.
She is currently planning to apply for Hypermutation Surgery. Once she becomes Fusion Warrior, she can work overtime as much as she wants without worrying about fainting, vomiting blood, or going into shock.
Bai Ge gave Mobius a reproachful look.
Snakey, if you end up hanging from a streetlight, you deserve it. Even capitalists aren't as ruthless as you, and...
"I'm sorry Klein, it's my fault."
"Hey? Bai Ge? Why are you apologizing?"
Klein was stunned when she saw the White Youth suddenly apologizing to her; she had a very bad feeling about it.
The next second, the Abyss Flower that had been created bloomed on her body, sweeping away all the fatigue and exhaustion she had accumulated over this period. Leaving aside the mental fatigue, at least her body had returned to a healthy state, so...
"That way, you can continue working overtime, right?"
"Wh-what?"
"I'm sorry, I have a new job that requires everyone at the Mobius Laboratory to work overtime. I'll make it up to everyone, so... let's work overtime, Klein."
Bai Ge patted Klein's shoulder solemnly, feeling an unprecedented sense of guilt, but...
(Klein, for the greater good, please sacrifice yourself.)
"..."
Although she didn't know the specifics yet, Klein understood that her long-awaited vacation was ruined, a new job had come up, and she could no longer stand still.
Captain Bai Ge, I thought you were a good person!
"Don't look at me with such pitiful eyes, Klein. Keep it up, you can do it. This world needs you to work overtime. Once you finish this job, I'll decide to give you ten days off!"
"Really?!"
Klein's eyes, which had lost their sparkle, regained their brightness. A ten-day vacation? That's awesome!
You should know that since she Mobius the Möbius Lab, her longest break has never been more than five hours. Let alone ten hours, even ten minutes of rest is precious.
"Wait, Bai Ge! Who gave you the authority to give Klein a break?! Without her, my research efficiency will drop by more than 50%, how are you going to make that decision?!"
Mobius immediately slammed his fist on the table, declaring his disapproval. He said the lab could do without anyone but Klein, and even if she was someone he liked, she couldn't just do as he pleased...
"As the male owner of the Mobius Laboratory, may I make the decision?"
"... Yes! Absolutely!"
Snakey's lips immediately curled up.
As the female owner of the lab, and since Bai Ge calls himself the male owner, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say they're husband and wife, right? Great! Snakey has finally overtaken Elysia!
Bai Ge wore a gentle smile, but Cang Xuan and Dan Zhu seemed to see a white fox tail swaying behind him.
This is a male Fox Spirit!
Dr. Mobius, you've given in already? Where's your pride as a ruthless, yandere, and insane scientist? As your subordinates, we're disappointed! We never expected you to be such a pushover!
The next second, Bai Ge's gaze fell on Cang Xuan Dan Zhu.
"After this is done, Cang Xuan, you'll get this much bonus, and Dan Zhu, I'll buy you as many figurines as you want."
"Get to work, let's get to work! I love working overtime!"
"I'm not going to slack off this time, all for the sake of these figures!"
The twin sisters were instantly won over.
Looking at the high-spirited crowd, Bai Ge smiled with satisfaction. Birds of a feather flock together; everyone in the Snakey Experiment Lab was just as easy to manage as she was.
So the Mobius Laboratory, which had just been preparing to go home for a break, resumed work, Bai Ge solemnly announced.
"The urgent task at hand is to create a medicine that can be made available to everyone and completely cure the Honkai Disease."
"... Huh?" x4
· ······Requesting flowers····· ·
Upon hearing this, Mobius and the others were stunned, and their newly ignited morale visibly waned.
"Bai Ge, how about we switch to another project?"
"Yes, yes, that's really impossible."
"I knew it wouldn't be an easy job..."
"Waaaaah, my vacation seems so far away."
It's not that Mobius and the others lack confidence; it's just that this thing is truly impossible to deal with. Medical experts and biologists all over the world are currently researching treatments for Honkai Disease.
The Moth Chasing Fire was no exception; Mobius had tried to solve it, but the final result was only to delay it, never to cure it.
Honkai Disease is a terminal illness that will inevitably lead to death.
