Pre-Collapse Civilization, My Wife is a Snake Oh

Ling Xi: "..." Doctor, you're really pushing it too far. This insult... I'll remember it!

Chapter 64: Doctor, Sign a Contract With Me!

"Mmmph..."

After finishing her coffee, Mobius closed her eyes in enjoyment before looking at Ling Xi. "Good afternoon, Ling Xi."

Ling Xi: "..." Doctor, isn't that greeting a bit late?

"What, is there something you need from me today?"

Mobius continued to smile at Ling Xi. For some reason, seeing Ling Xi always put her in a good mood.

"Can't I come see you if I don't need anything?"

Ling Xi shrugged, smiling casually. "I'm your assistant, after all, aren't I?"

"Eh... just an assistant?"

Mobius let out a soft hum, looking at Ling Xi with a half-smile. "If you're just an assistant, then... what just happened won't happen again."

"Uh..."

Ling Xi froze, unsure how to respond. After all, if he directly called her "wife," he might feel a bit awkward, and Mobius would probably feel embarrassed too.

"Alright, alright, let's not dwell on the term of address."

Mobius waved her hand, signaling Ling Xi to drop the topic. She then continued, "Ling Xi, since you've agreed to me, we're truly one of our own now. So, there are some things I don't want to hide from you anymore. Although... you can probably guess what I want to do in the future."

"I said, no matter what you do, Doctor, I'll be on your side."

A smile spread across Ling Xi's face. Whether it was because he had seen the script or because Mobius was now his wife, he would stand behind her.

"Of course, I believe you. It's just..."

Mobius chuckled, "Some things... hehe... never mind, it's nothing."

Ling Xi: "..." You're doing this on purpose, aren't you? You must be!

"Right, since you've agreed to me now, then..."

Mobius asked with a smile, "What about your junior, Seele? What are your plans for her?"

"Seele..."

Speaking of which, Ling Xi really didn't know what to do. After all...

"Whatever, we'll talk about it later."

Mobius interrupted Ling Xi directly, smiling. "I won't be making our relationship public for now. You should focus on figuring out your junior first. Honestly, I don't dislike that girl. If possible, I'd even like to have her work in my lab in the future."

"..."

Regarding this, Ling Xi could only say that Seele had been trying to persuade him to stay away from her lab for three consecutive days.

"By the way, Doctor, I have something I'd like to discuss with you."

Ling Xi decided to put Seele's matter aside for now. After all, Mobius had clearly told him what to do. Even though he didn't know why she was doing this, it wasn't important now. What Ling Xi wanted more was to resolve the issue between himself and Mobius.

"Oh? It's rare for you to seek me out. What is it? Tell me."

Hearing that Ling Xi actually had something to discuss with her, Mobius was a little surprised and immediately told him to speak freely.

"It's just..."

Ling Xi paused for a long moment before finally finding a way to start. "Doctor, I actually have a special ability called... Contract!"

"Contract? What the heck is that?"

Mobius's face showed confusion. She understood the meaning of the word "contract," but... what was a "contract" as an ability?

"It's like this, Doctor. This ability of mine can greatly increase my strength, but there are certain prerequisites and limitations."

Because telling Mobius directly might be very troublesome to explain, Ling Xi rephrased the ability of [Infinite]. "First, I need to find someone who is willing to believe me and enter into a contract with me. Then, I can form a contract with that person. Once the contract is successful, my strength will increase to a certain extent."

"Eh..."

After listening to Ling Xi's explanation, Mobius looked very curious. This felt... like playing a game.

"Are there any side effects after the contract? For example..."

Mobius smirked, "Forcing the other party to obey any command, controlling their life and death, or absorbing their life force or power?"

Ling Xi: "..."

"Don't worry, even if there were, I wouldn't refuse. After all..."

Mobius smiled slightly, "I'm not against certain ways of playing!"

Ling Xi: "..." Doctor, please stop!

"No!"

Ling Xi rubbed his forehead with some helplessness. "Doctor, the abilities you mentioned are too exaggerated. My contract ability doesn't have any side effects; it's just a form. Although this is all the information I have for now, but..."

Ling Xi spread his hands and smiled at Mobius, "I won't lie to you about this."

Since Ling Xi considered Mobius his true wife, he naturally wouldn't cheat her. Did he still want the hibernation pod? Did he still want to cling to her thigh? Did he still want to kiss his wife?

"Not even a single side effect, that's truly a little surprising."

Mobius shot Ling Xi a glance filled with a hint of suspicion, but he didn't feel like Ling Xi was lying. After all, given their current relationship, Ling Xi could ask her to do anything, and there was no need to deceive her this way. Moreover...

A contract, was this some new power? If she could research it, wouldn't that be... wonderful?

"If it's a contract, I can agree, but..."

Mobius nodded and smiled, "I hope you can agree to one thing."

"Okay!"

Ling Xi agreed without hesitation, then smiled back at his doctor, "May I ask what you hope I'll agree to, Doctor?"

"It's very simple, which is..."

Mobius smiled slightly, "You have to tell me everything about your contract ability. I want to know... the meaning behind this power!"

"Eh?"

Ling Xi was stunned for a moment, appearing somewhat confused.

"What, is that not allowed?"

Mobius smiled and deliberately let out a soft hum.

"No, no, no, it's not that it's not allowed, it's just..."

Ling Xi scratched his head and smiled in surprise, "I thought the Doctor would ask me to promise to never betray you, or something like that. I didn't expect it to be something else."

"Heh, then... will you betray me?"

Mobius smiled at Ling Xi and asked this question.

"Of course not!"

Ling Xi's answer was extremely decisive. Betray Mobius? What a joke.

"Then isn't that settled?"

Mobius leaned closer to Ling Xi again, gently cupped his face, and smiled tenderly, "Since you won't betray me, and I trust you, why would I be redundant and ask you to promise something that's already certain?"

"Uh..."

Hearing Mobius's words, Ling Xi didn't quite know how to respond. So... the Doctor trusted him this much? If what she said was true, then the contract would absolutely not fail!

After all, if Mobius treated him like this and he still couldn't get 90 affection points, then the system was definitely flawed!

"Mhm, I understand, then..."

Ling Xi extended his hand towards Mobius and smiled, "May I ask, esteemed Miss Mobius, are you willing... to form a contract with me?"

"Heh, about that..."

Mobius also extended her hand with a smile, then let Ling Xi take it, and chuckled softly, "I'd be delighted."

Chapter 65: I might have come at the wrong time.

"By the way, does the contract require me to do anything? Swear an oath? Or kneel?"

After Ling Xi took her hand, Mobius looked at him curiously and asked if she needed to do anything.

"No need for such trouble, Doctor just needs to hold my hand. The rest... leave it to me!"

Ling Xi smiled and shook his head, then gently closed his eyes. Finally, he opened them and looked directly at Mobius, chanting, "Infinite Imprint, Contract!"

Instantly, a light screen visible only to the two of them appeared between them!

[Contract Target: Mobius. Target meets contract requirements!]

[Contracting Parties: Ling Xi, Mobius. Confirm?]

"This..."

Seeing the light screen appear before her, Mobius was shocked. Was this... science? Or metaphysics?

In any case, this suddenly appearing light screen was challenging Mobius's perception!

"Thank you, Doctor..."

Looking at the information on the light screen, Ling Xi said thank you. As expected, Mobius met the contract requirements, which meant...

Mobius's affection for him had surpassed 90, meaning she absolutely trusted and cared about him. No wonder... no wonder Mobius had said earlier that she didn't want him to promise to never betray her, because... she had always trusted him.

"What are you thanking me for?"

Mobius looked at Ling Xi with a smile, appearing somewhat curious.

"Because I said that only those who absolutely trust me can form a contract, so..."

Ling Xi smiled at Mobius, "I have to thank you for your trust, Doctor."

"Heh, if you want to thank me, then perform well in the future and satisfy me."

Mobius smiled, and at the same time, she understood Ling Xi's meaning. No wonder this guy wanted to form a contract with her, it turned out that people who weren't absolutely trusted couldn't form a contract. In that case...

It seemed pretty good. At least... it meant there would be no more trust issues between them.

It seems this contract ability might be quite useful.

"Doctor, if there are no issues, then I'll confirm it."

Ling Xi glanced at Mobius and reminded her.

"Mm, confirm it."

Mobius nodded slightly. She didn't think Ling Xi would lie to her, at least... she didn't detect any scent of deceit.

"Contract, generate!"

Ling Xi directly chose to confirm, and then...

The light screen disappeared, transforming into light that merged into both of their bodies. In the depths of their consciousness, both felt a peculiar sensation, a feeling... as if from this moment on, they were connected to each other!

"Is it over?"

After a moment, Mobius spoke first, looking at Ling Xi with some curiosity.

"Mm..."

Ling Xi also nodded with a smile, then checked the [Infinite] imprint in his consciousness space. The panel had already changed!

[Contract Target: Mobius]

[Contract Bonus: 10% All Damage]

[Contestable Number of People: (0/1)]

Undoubtedly, the contract was successful. Mobius had become his summon... err, cough, contractor. However, this contract seemed to have no side effects on the target at all, truly feeling like just a formality!

Still, he figured there would probably be imprints to strengthen contractors in the future. After all, the [Infinite] imprint in the game could boost support Valkyries and dolls, so... once he unlocked more imprints in the future, Mobius should also be able to gain some benefits.

"I don't feel anything..."
