The Doctor's Dedicated Gofer! (Continued)
Ling Xi summoned the flames of the Herrscher of Flame, completely reducing Shesha's corpse to ashes.
However, the various samples were not sent to the Mu Continent immediately, but were temporarily stored in the base. Shesha's heart was kept separately in an underground warehouse. Ling Xi was resting in the upstairs lounge in the basement, waiting for time to pass...
According to the analysis of Mobius and others, even if Shesha were to be resurrected after the autopsy, it would most likely be through the heart. Therefore, Ling Xi was specifically stationed here to ensure that nothing went wrong.
"Ling Xi, are you tired? Would you like some watermelon?"
Just then, Elysia walked in, carrying a plate of sliced watermelon, and said with a smile, "Hey, the watermelons here in Changkong City are much more expensive than in the Mu Continent."
"Forget it, I can't eat right now..."
Ling Xi shook her head and said with some disgust, "Now when I look at a watermelon, I feel like it's blood."
"Haha, really? You have such a low tolerance for stress?"
As Elysia picked up a slice of watermelon and ate it, she said with a smile, "You can't do that. As a warrior, you have to get used to eating to replenish your energy in any situation. That's the way to survive."
Ling Xi "..."
Are you sure you don't want to eat?
Elysia picked up a slice of watermelon and handed it to her.
Okay, thanks.
In the end, Ling Xi decided to eat a little. Compared to helping dissect Shesha for several hours straight without eating a single grain of rice, of course, you'd be a true warrior if you could eat in that situation!
Fortunately, I had been with Dr. Mobius for several months, and during that time in Doctor lab, I had been influenced by his teachings; otherwise, the situation might have been even worse.
Taking a bite of watermelon, the sweet taste and juiciness immediately filled my mouth, and I instantly felt much more energetic.
"Hey, Ling Xi, what happened today..."
Elysia hesitated for a moment before asking, "And how much did you pay?"
Because she knew that Ling Xi would have to pay a price to use this power, and given their current relationship, how could she not be worried?
"Don't worry, it's just a little bit."
Ling Xi smiled slightly and said, "It's just a drop in the ocean."
Elysia didn't reply, but just stared straight at Ling Xi, as if trying to see if Ling Xi was lying.
"Okay, I told you not to worry."
Ling Xi wanted to hug Elysia, since physical contact seemed to be one of the more effective methods when comforting someone.
"Don't!"
Elysia grabbed Ling Xi's hand and whispered with a laugh, "Idiot, aren't you afraid there are surveillance cameras in here?"
Ling Xi "..."
Seeing Ling Xi's conflicted expression, Elysia continued to chuckle softly, "Although I just checked and there's nothing wrong, this isn't home after all, so let's be careful. At least... I can hug you first, but you can't do it first, okay?"
"Um... okay."
Ling Xi reluctantly withdrew his hand. It seemed he had been spending too much time with Elysia lately, and in his relaxed state, he had forgotten even basic precautions. He should know...
My relationship with Elysia is currently a complete secret.
"Hehe, let's talk about it when we get back..."
Elysia whispered this, then stepped aside from Ling Xi and said with a smile, "There's food in the restaurant downstairs. Would you like something to eat? I can bring it up for you."
"Mmm..."
Ling Xi hesitated for a moment, then smiled and said, "Let's go together then."
"Okay!"
Of course, Elysia wouldn't refuse, but she still smiled and said, "However, as the hero who saved Changkong City, you should be prepared to be watched by everyone."
Ling Xi "..."
At 10 p. m., after confirming that Shesha would not suddenly revive, Ling Xi and Elysia took a private jet back to the Mu Continent. Of course, the various samples from Shesha were also randomly transported back.
The plane landed near the research institute where Mobius was located. After all, it was a large research institute, so it was reasonable for there to be an airport nearby.
"Thank you for your hard work, Ling Xi."
At the airport, Mobius immediately came over and hugged Ling Xi, laughing, "You're truly my little guinea pig, amazing!"
"Hehe, Doctor, you don't need to be so polite. You saw the battle firsthand, so why say you had to go through all that trouble?"
Ling Xi smiled at Mobius, then complained, "But it was really tough, especially when dissecting Shesha. I didn't have it this hard when I Herrscher of Thunder last time."
"..."
Hearing Ling Xi's words, Mobius rolled his eyes at Ling Xi and said irritably, "I'm telling you, you're my lab assistant, and you've been here for several months now. If other people knew you were afraid of dissections, wouldn't you be ashamed?"
"There's nothing I can do, I just don't like it. Anyway, you can call me if you ever get into a fight, as for dissections..."
Ling Xi rubbed her forehead, spread her hands, and smiled helplessly, "Doctor, you should find someone else."
"I say, you've only been apart for half a day, do you have so much to catch up on?"
Just as Mobius was about to say something, Elysia walked over and said with a smile, "Dr. Mobius, don't you think we should quickly transfer the samples to the laboratory for storage? After all, these samples are very easy to spoil under natural conditions."
"Hmm..."
Although Mobius wanted to refute, Elysia's words were not wrong at all. On the contrary, it was his own fault for not transferring the sample to a dedicated place for protection in time, which was the real dereliction of duty.
"Doctor."
Seeing that Mobius was a little embarrassed, Klein also came over and said with a smile, "The samples have already been arranged to be moved."
Without Mobius's instructions, she was already directing the transfer of samples the moment the plane landed. After all, as Dr. Mobius's personal tool... cough cough, personal assistant, she was already very experienced in these matters.
"Hmm, not bad, Klein."
Seeing Klein instantly come to his rescue, Mobius smiled with satisfaction and said to Elysia, "I'm sorry, Elysia, this matter was handled by my assistant Klein."
Ling Xi: "..." As expected of you, Klein...
Elysia: "..." What's so smug about? Without Klein, you're just a piece of trash...
In short, Klein was in charge of the transportation, while Mobius took Ling Xi and Elysia back to the research institute to discuss the samples...
"Ling Xi, we obtained a lot of samples this time, but I definitely won't be able to use all of them, so..."
Mobius looked at Ling Xi with a smile. "I'd like to ask for your opinion: should we sell it to headquarters at a certain price, or give it to them for free?"
"Why don't you just decide this yourself, Doctor? Why are you asking me?"
Ling Xi scratched her head, somewhat speechless. She had already said that she was not good at this kind of thing, so why did her Doctor still ask her?
"After all, you were the one who eliminated Shesha, so even if it's just the two of us, shouldn't we ask for each other's opinions?"
Mobius smiled as he looked at Ling Xi, then at Elysia, "Elysia, you were involved in this too. What are your thoughts?"
"I share the same thoughts as Ling Xi."
Elysia grabbed Ling Xi's arm and laughed, "After all, I'm just going to watch the show in this operation, so whatever Ling Xi says goes, I have no objections."
"Ahem... then let's talk properly and not get physical!"
Mobius silently stepped between the two, pushing Elysia aside, and then looked at Ling Xi. "In that case, I plan to hand it over to headquarters free of charge. Although there may not be any substantial benefits in the short term, the hidden benefits are definitely more worthwhile than a fixed price. Besides..."
Mobius shrugged and smiled helplessly, "I didn't need that many samples in the first place. After all, this is for research, not for making hot pot. A portion is enough."
"Hmm... okay!"
Ling Xi had no objections to this, although she was still somewhat unhappy with some of the headquarters' previous actions, but...
Compared to this, her own Doctor's perspective was truly much broader. In any case, after this incident, her Doctor's reputation should improve considerably, although she wouldn't care about such things.
"Then it's decided."
Seeing that Ling Xi had no objections, Mobius made the decision. Then he looked at Ling Xi and smiled, "Ling Xi, why don't you go and rest first? I might need to spend some more time collecting information. Can we meet again when I have more free time?"
"No problem, Doctor!"
Ling Xi naturally had no objection to this. She yawned and said, "Then I'll go to sleep first. Doctor, you should rest early too."
"I understand, don't worry."
Mobius nodded with a smile, but what he was really thinking was... he must rest before dawn!
"Ling Xi, wait for me..."
Elysia immediately wanted to follow...
"Elysia, you stay here!"
Mobius decisively grabbed Elysia and said with a smile, "I'm so busy right now, shouldn't you stay and help me out as my best friend?"
"Um... are we that close?"
Elysia clearly didn't want to stay and help, since what followed would definitely be troublesome.
"Oh, if we're not familiar with each other, then why is someone still staying at our house? And..."
Mobius looked at Elysia with a smile and continued, "You must have been bullying Ling Xi quite a bit lately, right..."
"Hey... what are you saying? He's so amazing, how could I dare to bully him?"
Elysia had an awkward smile on her face, but she was also a little nervous. Could it be that she had been getting too close to Ling Xi lately and had done something too outrageous, which led to her being discovered?
"That would be best..."
However, Mobius didn't say anything in the end. Although she did suspect that the relationship between the two was inappropriate, based on her understanding of Elysia, this girl was the kind of person who was very cheerful but actually quite conservative. To describe her in an idiom...
That is, this girl appears to be unrestrained and wild on the surface, but in reality, she is chaste and pure, so...
I was probably overthinking it.
Elysia: "..." It seems like everything's really alright...
"Haaah..."
On the other side, Ling Xi yawned as she walked towards her room in the research institute. Although she didn't live there often anymore, the room was still there.
"Ah..."
Suddenly, Ling Xi felt as if she had bumped into something.
"Klein!"
Opening her eyes, Ling Xi immediately saw Klein, who had been knocked backward by her collision. She quickly reached out and grabbed her waist, managing to catch her in a very dangerous situation.
"Phew... Senior Sister Klein, are you alright?"
Seeing that Klein hadn't fallen, Ling Xi breathed a sigh of relief. Thank goodness.
"Sorry, I was so sleepy, I even walked with my eyes closed..."
Klein apologized, rubbing his eyes as he said, "Ling Xi, Doctor in the lab? The samples have been transferred, and I'll be accompanying Doctor for the experiment..."
"I'm telling you, shouldn't you take a break?"
Ling Xi looked at Klein's face speechlessly, noticing that the girl's dark eyes were already quite prominent, and yet she still had to go to work...
Although the Doctor is my wife, I still want to say that this kind of exploitation of employees is simply inhumane!
"It's okay, I can go to sleep after working for another eight hours..."
Klein shook his head and smiled, "The Doctor is looking forward to these samples, so he will definitely start studying them as soon as possible. As the Doctor's assistant, I have to help."
Ling Xi: "..." If Danzhu Cangxuan were even a tenth as dedicated as you, you wouldn't be in this state...
"Excuse me, could you please let me go? I need to go to the Doctor's office."
Seeing that Ling Xi was still hugging her, Klein's face showed a hint of embarrassment. However, for her, it was not shyness. After all, she was Mobius's assistant. She had been following the Doctor in experiments for so many years and had seen all kinds of situations.
Ling Xi "..."
In the end, Ling Xi could only let go of Klein and watch the girl slowly walk towards Mobius's laboratory.
"Hmm..."
Before Ling Xi could even turn around and leave, she discovered that Klein was already crouching on the ground...
"Hey, senior sister!"
