Chapter 113
Danzhu jumped up and down in anger.
She strongly suspected that Cang Xuan was deliberately not waking her up just so he could drink her milk tea.
Chapter 187 The Workload for Three People
[Being one minute late means having to buy everyone milk tea. Danzhu felt she was losing out big time. If she had known she would be late, she wouldn't have rushed over so hastily. She hadn't even had breakfast yet.]
Just then, she looked around and suddenly realized that even the most diligent person was nowhere to be seen.
"Ah, wait, it seems like Senior Sister Klein isn't here either."
The two men scanned the laboratory, but Klein was nowhere to be seen.
"Yeah! I'm not the last one!"
"That's impossible. Senior Sister Klein is always the first one to arrive."
"Ah!!!"
Behind that huge pile of white documents, Cang Xuan and Danzhu finally found Klein slumped over the table.
"A locked-room murder?"
"Pah, you jinx! Senior Sister Klein, isn't she still talking in her sleep?"
The two walked over, and as they slowly approached Klein, they gradually became able to hear what she was saying.
"Okay, I'll give it to you before I leave work today..."
Wow! It's come back to life!
Klein suddenly sat up, files flying everywhere from his head. "Oh no, I fell asleep! What time is it? What? It's already eight o'clock? Oh dear!"
"I haven't finished compiling the reference list for the PhD students, and I've only completed half of the data analysis from the last experiment. I also need to prepare the conference materials for this afternoon..."
With his eyes still blurry with sleep, Klein picked up file after file, his mind consumed by work.
Durandal: "Hmm... Although as Valkyrie of Schicksal, I have no right to question the Fire Moth's policies, isn't Klein doing a bit too much work?"
This is exploitation, absolutely exploitation to the point of death!
Whether or not the thick stack of work on the table can be finished is another matter; the only problem is that I worked overtime all night and fell asleep, only to wake up at eight o'clock the next morning still thinking about work.
He actually dreams about work all the time; isn't Klein a bit too pitiful?
Kiana: "The Fire Moth are exploiting their employees! I'm going to report them to Boss Eden!"
Eden: "These matters are not my responsibility. I'm just an investor. As for the specific internal affairs of the Fire Moth, Elysia is mainly handling them."
Raiden Mei: "Elysia..."
Elysia: "?! Don't look at me! It wasn't me who made Klein work overtime. You should really ask Mobius about this."
Looking for Mobius? Forget about that.
Raiden Mei already kept her distance from Mobius, and now that she didn't even know if he was dead or alive, where was she supposed to find Mobius?
With his ability to regenerate Infinity, Mobius shouldn't be so easy to kill.
Bronya: "Bronya thought it was just the heavy workload of the ELF Klein in the Previous Era Elysian Realm, but she didn't expect that Klein himself had been working overtime all the time?"
Elysia: "Hmm, when Mobius created the Klein doll, it seems he also added a workaholic element to it, as a tribute to Klein."
Theresa: "I seriously doubt that this person's purpose is simply to reminisce about the deceased."
Poor Klein, you were already working overtime in your lifetime, but Mobius created ELF and made you work overtime for Fifty Thousand Years in the Previous Era Elysian Realm.
Himeko Murata: "Speaking of which, although Klein's workload seems heavy, doesn't Mobius's lab actually have two assistants, Danzhu and Cang Xuan? If you divide one person's workload among three people, they should still be able to finish it, right?"
The Herrscher of Reason: "No, actually, if you divide one person's workload among three people, it becomes the workload of five people."
Cang Xuan: "Especially the part that Danzhu messed up, which made Senior Sister Klein redo it."
Danzhu: "Cang Xuan, you!!!"
Okay, now we know Klein works so hard.
Originally, Mobius's laboratory workload was limited. Although the amount of work was already enormous, it was divided into three parts and given to Klein, Danzhu, and Cang Xuan.
However, thanks to the meddling of the two little devils, Klein's workload, which was originally meant for three people, has now become a five-person workload.
Kiana: "Should I say that you two are truly Mobius's most capable allies?"
Danzhu: "Hehe, I'm not actually that amazing, no need to praise me."
Cang Xuan: "Actually, many of the tasks were taken on voluntarily by Senior Sister Klein, but I don't know the specific reasons."
Theresa: "?!!"
Volunteering for work—are there really people in the world so willing to dedicate themselves?
Not only did Theresa not believe it, but no one else did either; at least, they would never volunteer to work overtime.
In the scene, Klein is still collecting data on the ground in a daze, while Danzhu and Cang Xuan look at her seriously and responsibly with puzzled expressions.
"I'm not saying this to be mean, but isn't Senior Sister Klein's workload a bit too much every day?" Danzhu asked.
Cang Xuan nodded. "We also need to add the part that Danzhu messed up and had to give to Senior Sister Klein to rework."
"Ugh! The background music is so loud, I can't hear it!"
Danzhu covered her ears, refusing to admit that she was the biggest obstacle to Klein achieving his daily work targets.
With a thud.
In Klein stepped on the documents and tripped.
"Senior Sister!"
"I'm fine, I can still work... work..."
Klein stood up unsteadily, his mouth full of dedication to his work.
"Klein, Klein, are you there?" Dr. Mobius also came to the laboratory.
"Doctor, I'm sorry, the conference materials will take a little longer."
The documents on my desk are still a mess; it will definitely take a little time to finish.
"Ah, those kinds of meetings don't matter."
Dr. Mobius waved his hand, picked up his white coat, and there was a clear burn mark at his feet.
"Klein, my clothes have a hole burned in them by an alcohol lamp. Can you mend it for me?"
"This shouldn't be within the scope of a lab assistant's work, and wouldn't it be better to just get a new one?"
"Hmm, that's fine, but I like this one." Mobius made a pitiful expression.
"It'll be a real hassle to patch up such a big hole."
Klein said it was troublesome, but he didn't refuse, which Mobius interpreted as a tacit agreement.
But I like this one.
Mobius repeated, head bowed like a child.
"Okay, okay, I understand."
Klein sighed; his workload was going to increase again for no apparent reason today.
"Yay! I want the Mobius pattern."
"Oh."
And so, unable to resist Mobius's temper, Klein had no choice but to mend her clothes.
Raiden Mei: "This is... Mobius?"
Chapter 188 The Refined Lady and the Fu Warrior
Mei wasn't making a fuss; this wasn't the first time she'd seen Mobius. The last time Mei, a chuunibyou (Mei, faced Mobius in the Elysian Realm, it was a life-or-death battle.
But the Mobius in the laboratory in front of her was completely different from the Memory Body she remembered that wanted to take over her body.
Pardofelis: "Sister Mei, is there something you're curious about? This is Sister Snake."
Danzhu: "The real Dr. Mobius."
Raiden Mei: "No, I know she's Mobius, but the question is, why is there such a big difference between her and the Memory Body in the Elysian Realm?"
Elysia: "You mean her figure? Indeed, Mobius from the Elysian Realm Memory Body has shed her skin many times, and her figure has become quite small."
Elysia knew the inside story about how Mobius had been getting smaller and smaller.
Pardofelis: "When the Memory Body of the Previous Era Elysian Realm was created, it could only replicate the Flame-Chasers and their memories from that time. At that time, Sister Snake had already become very small."
Raiden Mei: "No, I wasn't asking about body shape."
Admittedly, the figure of Mobius in this laboratory is that of a mature and caring older sister, while the Mobius in the Previous Era Elysian Realm is a bit childish... innocent and cute.
Mei was also curious, but it was clear that she was more interested in the changes in Mobius's personality before and after.
Cang Xuan: "You mean this? Actually, Dr. Mobius used to be a very nice person, but after Senior Sister Klein died, the doctor did change quite a bit."
Danzhu: "After all, Senior Sister is the only one who can understand the Doctor."
Although she and Cang Xuan worked with Klein in Dr. Mobius's laboratory, in Mobius's heart, they could not replace Klein's position.
At least when it comes to working overtime, they can't replace Klein.
Theresa: "Is it just my imagination? Why do I always feel that the relationship between Klein and Dr. Mobius is a bit like..."
Elysia: "Best friend?"
Theresa: "Mom and daughter."
It must be my imagination, but thinking about it more carefully, the girl went to her mother for help mending a hole in her clothes—isn't that just a daughter?
Fu Hua: "Dean, where do you find someone whose clothes have a hole and they ask their daughter to mend them?"
The Immortal Crimson Bird completely misunderstood the relationship between the two as described by Theresa, while the Herrscher of Reason simply perpetuated the error.
The Herrscher of Reason: "Why not? Old Timer, my clothes are torn, hurry up and mend them for me."
With a tearing sound, the Herrscher of Reason, relying on his powerful physique, managed to rip a hole in his clothes.
Fu Hua: "Herrscher of Reason, you..."
The Herrscher of Reason: "Stop talking nonsense, are you going to get this Old Timer repaired or not? You bought this shirt for me last time, we each have one of the same style, and I've been reluctant to throw it away."
Fu Hua: "Alright then."
Having promised the Herrscher of Reason to help mend her clothes, Fu Hua naturally had to keep her word.
Although being treated like a daughter left her somewhat helpless, upon reflection, the Immortal Crimson Bird couldn't possibly argue with a child.
"It's just mending clothes, it's not a big deal."
Just a second before picking up the needle and thread to mend the clothes, Fu Hua still had this thought in her mind, but it wasn't until the needle pierced through one end of the garment that she remembered something important.
I don't seem to have any skills in this area; all my talent points have been allocated to combat strength.
The Herrscher of Reason: "Old Timer, you're not going to say you don't know it at all, are you?"
Fu Hua: "How could that be? I'm the Immortal Crimson Bird, with at least five thousand years of life experience. Mending clothes is a piece of cake for me, isn't it?"
Gritting her teeth, Fu Hua figured the needle definitely wouldn't pierce the Fusion Warrior's finger anyway, so she might as well just try anything, even if it seemed hopeless.
In the scene, Klein takes Mobius to the laboratory to mend clothes, while Cang Xuan and Danzhu stand aside whispering to each other.
"Dr. Mobius went too far! How could he bully my senior sister just because she's a nice person?"
After Mobius left, Danzhu stood there indignantly.
"It's not your place to say that, is it?" Cang Xuan glanced at her. "I heard from my senior sister that these jobs weren't forced on her by the professor; she took them all voluntarily."
"No way."
Danzhu's eyes widened. "Who in their right mind works overtime? Do you work overtime?"
"I won't add it."
Cang Xuan shook his head decisively.
