Pre-Collapse Civilization, My Wife is a Snake Oh

However, this energy was not one that Ling Xi had ever discovered, nor was it Honkai Energy. In short, it was an entirely new, but very powerful energy!

But because the Superpower Cells could not be cultured through division or cloning, both conventional research routes were completely blocked. Therefore, Mobius could only try a new approach, which was... transplantation.

To transplant Ling Xi's Superpower Cells into other animals, and then find a way to eliminate the rejection reaction, allowing the Superpower Cells to exist within the animal's body, and then observe whether the target organism could gain corresponding power.

If so, then humans might be able to upgrade themselves with the help of Ling Xi. Of course, this was on the premise of being able to obtain superpowers, and... solving the problem of the Superpower Cells not being able to divide. Otherwise, even if they squeezed Ling Xi dry, it wouldn't be enough!

First, let's start with multicellular microorganisms in nature.

It's a shame Ling Xi has already gone home. Otherwise, I could try to have him help me with some experiments right now, after all...

Regardless of whether Ling Xi becomes my student or something else in the future, one thing is certain... experiments are a must!

"Ling Xi, welcome to my home."

On the other side, Elysia had already brought Ling Xi to her place.

Of course, calling it a home was just her temporary residence at the research institute; it was definitely not her real home.

However...

Ling Xi looked around carefully. Yes, although it wasn't her real home, it was decorated very warmly and had a very girlish style!

And this three-bedroom, one-living-room layout was already more luxurious than many people's actual homes!

"How is it? Not bad, right?"

Seeing Ling Xi looking around her home, Elysia smiled and brought him a drink, saying, "Everything in this home was personally decorated by me. What do you think, does it meet your standards?"

"It's very nice, it has a warm feeling."

Ling Xi nodded, gave a polite compliment, and took the drink Elysia offered.

"Mmm, so perfunctory."

Elysia spread her hands but didn't say much. She opened her drink and sat next to Ling Xi, smiling, "Compared to Mobius's room, which one do you think looks better, my room or hers?"

"I haven't been to the Doctor's room, how would I know?"

Ling Xi shrugged, indicating he hadn't been there. After all, he had limited time at the laboratory, and who knew what secrets Mobius's room held? What if he went and never came back?

"Eh... you haven't been there yet? I've been."

Elysia looked disappointed, then suddenly leaned closer to Ling Xi, smiling, "By the way, do you want to quit Mobius's laboratory and come work for me? I know she only offered you 8,000 salary, but me... hehe..."

Elysia directly held up two fingers!

"Two hundred thousand?"

Ling Xi asked curiously...

"Pfft..."

The drink in Elysia's mouth sprayed out. "You really dare to think that big? It's twenty thousand. Compared to Mobius's place, the work here is much easier."

"Sorry, not interested."

Ling Xi refused without hesitation. What a joke, was he here at Mobius's laboratory for the salary? Of course not, it was for the powerful backing!

Although Elysia was also a powerful figure, and even ranked second in the future, but...

Compared to someone like Elysia who spoke carelessly and made it impossible to distinguish whether her words were true or false, he would rather trust his own Doctor. At least... Mobius didn't give off a dangerous feeling the moment she spoke, unlike Elysia.

"Oh dear, so heartless, even though I invited you so warmly."

Elysia spread her hands helplessly. Of course, she knew Ling Xi wouldn't agree, but she still wanted to ask.

"Elysia, what do you actually want from me?"

At this moment, Ling Xi no longer wanted to play guessing games with Elysia. They were both smart people, why not be more direct?

"Hehe, it's really nothing, I just wanted to get to know you."

Elysia still wore that sweet smile and said, "Of course, I am a bit interested in the power you used yesterday. After all, this is my first... no, it should be the second time I've seen this kind of power. The last time... it seemed to be in a video that came from H City."

Ling Xi: "..."

Speaking of which, which idiot filmed that video back then? If I had known this would happen, I would have rather not received any reward than save those idiots!

Chapter 43: Your Ling Xi is at my place!

"If you want to understand my power, then I can only say that you'll be disappointed."

Ling Xi sighed and smiled, "Actually, I don't even understand my own power. Besides, Doctor Mobius is currently researching this matter, but there haven't been any results yet. So if you ask me, I can only say I don't know."

"Hehe, you can fool Mobius with that, but you can't fool me."

Elysia smiled slightly, "Your micro-expressions just now gave you away. So, I'm very sure of one thing: you... understand your power very well, you just... don't want to tell others, right?"

"Think whatever you want."

Ling Xi spread his hands helplessly. He was too lazy to explain too much. After all, the more lies you tell, the more loopholes there will be. At this time, silence was the best option.

"Hehe..."

Seeing Ling Xi's reaction, Elysia smiled and didn't continue the topic.

"Ling Xi, what I said earlier is still valid."

With that, Elysia stretched lazily and smiled, "You can come to me anytime you want. I'll always have a spot saved for you."

"I appreciate the offer, but I'm quite happy in the Doctor's laboratory right now, so no thank you."

Ling Xi refused with a smile. Why would he switch jobs when he could slack off in the Doctor's lab?

"Ah, what a shame..."

Elysia chuckled with feigned regret, but she didn't try to persuade him further. She could tell that Ling Xi genuinely wanted to stay with Mobius!

"Then... let's change the subject. For example..."

Elysia leaned slightly closer to Ling Xi and smiled, "Who is Mobius, and what is she researching? Do you know these things?"

"I do."

Ling Xi also smiled and said generously, "I'm very clear about Doctor Mobius's research. She hasn't hidden anything from me. Although many people oppose and criticize her, believing her work is inhumane and goes against human ethics, her research is constantly under scrutiny, but..."

Ling Xi stated calmly, "I don't think Doctor Mobius is wrong. If I had to say anything, Mobius's only mistake is being too arrogant. To the point that even when misunderstood, she disdains to explain."

"Is that so..."

Seeing that Ling Xi actually knew about Mobius's research, Elysia was a little surprised. "Since you know all that, why do you still want to stay with her? Aren't you afraid she might decide to research you one day on a whim?"

Actually, Elysia wanted to bring Ling Xi to her side. While she was interested in Ling Xi's power, she also felt a desire to protect him. After all, Mobius was a madwoman who would abandon anything for her research!

And Mobius, with Ling Xi's powerful and mysterious abilities, would undoubtedly be interested. So... she was a little worried that Mobius might suddenly get a crazy idea and trick Ling Xi into some strange experiments.

"Uh..."

Ling Xi scratched his head and asked, "Isn't the Doctor already researching? My hair, blood, and some cells – aren't those enough for her to research?"

"Mmmph..."

Elysia couldn't refute that. Normally, having those things would be sufficient for scientific research, but... that was under normal circumstances, and Mobius was definitely not a normal person.

"Alright, since you prefer to stay there, I won't say anything more."

Finally, Elysia smiled slightly, "However, if you ever need help with anything, you can always come to me."

"Mhm."

Ling Xi didn't refuse Elysia's expressed goodwill. He nodded and smiled, "I know, thank you Elysia, little..."

"Hey!"

Elysia glared at Ling Xi...

"Elysia..."

Ling Xi quickly corrected himself, dropping the final honorific.

"That's better..."

Elysia, acting very familiar, ruffled Ling Xi's hair and said with a smile, "Alright, since we're done talking, I won't keep you. I have other things to do, so you can go back now."

"Okay, see you next time, Elysia."

Seeing that Elysia was asking him to leave, Ling Xi didn't linger. After saying goodbye, he left immediately...

Watching Ling Xi gradually walk away, Elysia showed a meaningful smile. "Heh, Ling Xi... to have someone other than Klein support you so much, Mobius, you're really something..."

Five minutes later...

Mobius's laboratory.

"Doctor."

Klein opened the door to Laboratory No. 3 and walked in.

"What is it, Klein?"

Mobius was busy transplanting Superpower Cells at the moment. Even after hearing Klein's voice, she didn't turn around.

"We have a guest,"

Klein said quietly.

"A guest?"

Mobius was clearly taken aback. What was going on? A guest in this place that was called a devil's den? Even food delivery drivers were afraid to come in usually.

"Hi, Mobius, I came to visit you..."

As soon as Mobius spoke, Elysia popped out from behind Klein, waving her hand and smiling, "How is it? You must be happy to have a good friend like me visiting, right? Don't be shy."

Mobius: "..."

"Klein, next time you let someone in, can you make sure you see clearly before opening the door? This isn't a guest."

Mobius looked displeased and turned back to fiddle with her experimental equipment. "Go back, Elysia. I'm very busy right now and don't have time to argue with you."

"Oh dear, oh dear, you're making me sound like a bad person."

Elysia put on an act of being wronged, then with a smile, she said, "Don't worry, I'm not here to argue with you. I... want to talk to you about Ling Xi."

Mobius merely glanced at Elysia, showing no interest in speaking with her. Ling Xi? What business is it of yours regarding my Ling Xi?

"Oh right, Mobius, I have something to tell you. Just five minutes ago..."

Elysia grinned, saying softly, "Ling Xi just left my place."

Mobius: "..."

"Put away your little tricks, Elysia. This won't work on me."

Although Mobius was a bit shaken, she clearly wouldn't be easily deceived by Elysia. After all, nine out of ten words from this girl were nonsense, and the tenth was a lie.

"Oh my, oh my, how could I possibly lie to you? After all... we're good friends, aren't we?"

As she spoke, Elysia took out her phone and opened a photo she had taken earlier of Ling Xi sitting on her sofa. It clearly showed Ling Xi sitting with Elysia, smiling and chatting...

Mobius: (▼皿▼＃)

Chapter 44: The Doctor Seems a Little Unhappy...

The next day...

Ling Xi arrived at the laboratory early in the morning and swiped his card.

"Ding!"

Finally, he wasn't late today.

Of course, Ling Xi didn't come to the laboratory just to swipe his card, but for something else.

"Morning, Senior Sister Klein."

Seeing Klein already seated on the sofa and starting her work, Ling Xi quickly went over.

"Mm, Ling Xi, good morning."
