"Yes, that's right."

Mobius at Klein and said, "So, Klein, this time we really don't need to analyze any experimental data, right, Ling Xi?"

"Yes, that's right."

When his wife spoke up, Ling Xi naturally had to chime in.

"Well... Klein, you go ahead and do your thing, I'm going to rest now."

After saying that, Mobius hurried upstairs; it was time to... rest.

"Yes, Doctor..."

Klein remained calm and nodded, then watched Mobius go upstairs. Something about the Doctor's walking posture seemed a little strange... hmm...

It must be my imagination.

In Changkong City, a certain S-level member of the Poisoned Pupae received a new order...

[Mission Rank: S!]

[Target: Mobius's assistant— Ling Xi!]

[Address: XX Street, XX Household]

Mission: Assassinate and eliminate!

[Task Authorizers: Councilor X, Councilor Y!]

[Mission Status: Top Secret!]

"Clear the mission..."

In the darkness, the pink-clad girl slowly polished her Katana. An S-rank target, and in Changkong City no less. She... didn't even have a reason to refuse!

Although I no longer want to, and am even tired of, doing this kind of thing, but...

As people of this world, we should do what is right here!

I had no choice in the matter!

Chapter 97: A Hot Spring Trip (Reservation)!

When are you planning to move in?

In the bathtub on the second floor of the laboratory, Mobius leaned against Ling Xi, stretching his body with his arms raised, looking completely languid.

"Well..."

Ling Xi hugged Mobius's waist, playing with her Doctor's green hair as she laughed, "I was originally planning to move this afternoon, but didn't the Doctor ask me to accompany you to do experiments?"

"Hmph, you're getting the benefits and then acting innocent."

Mobius snorted irritably, then looked up at Ling Xi behind him. "Ling Xi, although you don't have much stuff, you still need to move some. Tonight, take my car back, pack it up a bit, and move it over tomorrow morning."

"Okay, sure."

Ling Xi naturally did not refuse her Doctor's kind offer. Although the Doctor's car could not carry much, she didn't have much herself.

"Ah... that feels so good..."

At this moment, Mobius also closed his eyes and lay in Ling Xi's arms with a look of enjoyment, quietly feeling the temperature of the bathtub water.

After being overworked, soaking in warm water is the most refreshing thing.

"Doctor, how about we go to a hot spring another day?"

Seeing Mobius's blissful expression, Ling Xi felt a warmth in her heart and brought up the idea of going to the hot springs again.

"Hot springs?"

Mobius thought for a moment and laughed, "Great! Compared to the Mu Continent, there are more natural hot springs in the Far East. It's a pity that since I came to Changkong City, I haven't been to one on average even once a year."

"How about we go another day?"

Ling Xi immediately made a suggestion, laughing, "Let's treat this as... our last trip to the Far East Hot Springs before we leave Changkong City."

"Yes, that's fine."

Mobius smiled and nodded, then added, "By the way, this time... let's invite Klein and the others along. Anyway, we don't have much work lately, so it might be nice to go out and relax together."

"Hmm... Doctor, you should have done this a long time ago."

Hearing Mobius's words, Ling Xi naturally had no objections. She gently hugged Mobius and smiled, "After all, no matter how busy you are, you must remember to balance work and rest, otherwise your work efficiency will decrease."

"So, this is your excuse for slacking off at work?"

Mobius glared at Ling Xi, clearly annoyed.

"I wasn't slacking off, I was..."

Ling Xi deliberately pinched Mebius's waist, "To contribute to the Doctor's experiment."

Mobius "..."

"Fine, I can't be bothered to talk to you..."

Mobius pursed his lips, then closed his eyes again. "You can take charge of arranging the hot springs. Any day is fine, but remember to let us know in advance, otherwise we might not be able to make it at the right time."

"Don't worry, Doctor, I've got it covered."

Ling Xi nodded to indicate that it was no problem. Although she was considered an outsider in the lab, she could still handle this small matter.

"Don't worry about the price. This is our team building activity, so the lab will cover the expenses."

Mobius added that she didn't want Ling Xi to ruin everyone's fun by trying to save money, since... this really was the last time they would soak in a hot spring in the Far East.

"In addition..."

Mobius chuckled again, "If you have any friends, you can invite them along too, but of course, only female friends, absolutely no male friends!"

"Um... okay, thank you, Doctor."

As soon as Mobius spoke, Ling Xi instantly understood: the Doctor was telling her to call Seele.

"You're welcome, after all..."

Mobius smiled slightly and said, "I will only help you in the Far East. Once we get to the Mu Continent, how Seele will handle things is your business. By the way... remember to protect yourself. I don't want to be widowed right after getting married."

Ling Xi: "..." In the end, you're going to hold my head and sail away again, right...?

"Have you noticed that the Doctor has been spending more time in his room lately?"

In the evening, in the laboratory hall, Danzhu and Cangxuan sat on the sofa together again, slacking off. Of course, it couldn't really be called slacking off, since there really wasn't much work to do right now.

"Of course, because there's hardly any work to begin with!"

Cangxuan sipped his milk tea while looking at his younger sister. "We're all moving to the Mu Continent, so the research here will naturally come to a standstill. Since we're not working, where else can we stay but in our rooms?"

"But Klein is still as busy as ever..."

Danzhu smiled helplessly at this, then looked at Klein was still working overtime.

"Hmm... Senior sister, it's beyond our human comprehension."

Cangxuan took another sip of milk tea...

"Hey, everyone's here."

As the familiar voices appeared, Mobius came downstairs with Ling Xi and saw the three of them in the hall.

"Yes, Doctor."

Danzhu immediately said, "According to the Doctor's orders, most experiments have been temporarily suspended and will resume after we arrive at the new laboratory, so everyone is relatively free."

"For Danzhu, it's probably no different from before."

Cangxuan couldn't help but make a comment.

"Huh? What? I... I'm having a really tough time too, you know?"

Danzhu immediately retorted to Cangxuan's words, "Isn't ordering milk tea part of work? Um... no, I've done a lot of odd jobs myself, especially cleaning the lab. Because of Mobius, the cleaners rarely, if ever, come here, so..."

The lab needs someone to be responsible for cleaning it.

"Alright, alright, everyone has worked hard recently, so let's get some rest now."

At this moment, Mobius also spoke up with a smile, "Also... tonight's dinner is on me."

"What? The Doctor is treating us?"

Upon hearing that he was being treated, Danzhu's eyes immediately lit up, and he asked, "Where shall we eat? Hot pot or something else?"

"What should we eat..."

Mobius shrugged and laughed, "Well, that depends on what's in the cafeteria tonight."

Danzhu: "???"

Everyone was speechless.

In the end, the five of them went to the cafeteria together. It wasn't that Mobius was stingy; it was just that she really didn't want to go out right now. Being able to leave the lab and go to the cafeteria, which was only 200 meters away, was already a big step forward.

However, the food in the research institute's cafeteria is quite good, so it's not a bad idea to treat someone there.

As the five of them were having dinner together, a pink fairy passed by outside. When she saw Ling Xi and Mobius in the cafeteria, a knowing smile immediately appeared on her face...

"Hehe..."

Now that I've met my best "friend," it would be inappropriate not to go over and say hello.

Chapter 98: Which is softer, the Doctor or the Fairy?

"Hi, Mobius, long time no see."

While the group was having their meal, Elysia suddenly appeared, smiling and greeting everyone. Looking at Elysia said, "It was supposed to be just a seminar, but you guys went for a full twelve days! I haven't seen you for twelve whole days, I missed you so much!"

"Is that so, Elysia?"

Mobius smiled slightly and said, "However, I'm actually very happy not to see you."

"You're still so two-faced, Mobius."

Elysia maintained her smile and asked, "By the way, I seem to have heard recently that you want to move your laboratory to the Mu Continent and have already extended invitations to the other two laboratory groups. Is that true?"

The entire research institute is essentially a small circle, so after Klein visited the other two laboratories this morning, the news spread quickly. After all, news related to Mobius spreads very fast.

"Yes."

Mobius didn't deny it, and said calmly, "After all, the Mu Continent has better research resources and manpower, so why not go?"

"Then you should invite me, after all..."

Elysia smiled happily and said, "As your best friend, Mobius, I will definitely say yes."

"Forget it, Elysia."

Mobius smiled gently and said, "I know you like Changkong City, so I won't make things difficult for you. You should continue to live in Changkong City. This city... should suit you very well."

"Pfft... cough cough..."

Upon hearing this, Ling Xi was instantly speechless. Holy crap, Doctor, what you just said... did you wish Elysia would die here?

"Ling Xi, are you alright?"

Hearing Ling Xi choke, Mobius quickly handed Ling Xi his water glass and also took out a tissue.

"I..."

Ling Xi quickly took a sip from the Doctor's water glass, and only then did she feel better. She shook her head and said, "It's... it's nothing, I just choked a little, thank you."

Ling Xi looked at Mobius with some hesitation, and handed the water glass back to her. Speaking of which... her Doctor must be joking, right? It's impossible... he really wants to kill Elysia, right?

"Eat slowly, you idiot..."

Mobius looked at Ling Xi speechlessly, but the concern in his eyes was genuine.

"Understood, Doctor."

Ling Xi glanced at Mobius with a hint of helplessness. If it weren't for your surprising remark, would I have choked on my words?
