Before the collapse of civilization, kiss Mebius at the beginning

The time flies, and in a blink of an eye, it is a month later——

"Here, little white mouse, this is what I promised to give you."

In the research institute early that morning, Mobius waved to Xu Ziling and threw a badge.

After Xu Ziling raised his hand to take it, he put the badge in his hand and looked at it, and then smiled.

[Identity: Xu Ziling]

[Affiliation: Mobius Research Institute]

[Authorization: VI]

[Identity has been certified by the Personnel and News Department of the Mu Federation (Fire Moth)]

Yes, this is an internal identity card of the Fire Moth, and it is also a work card of the Mobius Research Institute.

In theory, all research institutes under the Fire Moth must carry work badges, but Mobius is an exception. She does not need to report to other research institutes, nor does she need to communicate with other research institutes.

And there are only a few people in her own research institute, so naturally she does not need to pay attention to these things.

So much so that Xu Ziling made breakfast for Sheshe for seven days in a row and finally asked for this work badge.

As for why...

[Ding~! It is detected that the pioneering task has reached the stage goal, and the pioneering task has been updated to the second stage! ]

[Pioneering task: Workers in the collapsed world]

[Phase 1 task requirements: Find a suitable job to get rid of the label of "freeloader" (completed);]

[Phase 2 task requirements: The host needs to create an organization that belongs to the host alone within the next year (currently only 11 months left), and recruit at least ten members for your organization! ]

[Task status: Organization established (0/1), recruiting members (0/10). ]

[Task Rewards: Demon God Task Refresh, 4-star Character Selection Box*1, Designated Card Pool*1. Xing Qiong*1600, Special Ticket*(Host finally recruits personnel for the organization -10). ]

The system's development task is divided into two stages. The completion time limit for the second stage is one year, while the completion time limit for the first stage is only one month.

Coincidentally, today is the deadline for the first stage task, which is why Xu Ziling asked Mebius for his work card today.

As for the second stage task...

To be honest, Xu Ziling is not in a hurry. It's not that he doesn't covet the final task reward, but the final reward in the development task, the "Demon God Task" refresh, really caught Xu Ziling's heartstrings.

Because according to Xu Ziling's understanding of his own system these days, he knows that the release of system tasks is divided into daily, development, and demon gods.

Among them, the daily task is already an old acquaintance. It is usually easy to assign some strange tasks every day, which is equivalent to 150 Xing Qiong for free.

The pioneering mission is a growth mission customized by the system according to the timeline and situation he is in now. For example, his current pioneering mission is to guide him to get rid of the label of "living off a gigolo"; to create an organization and transform from a mediocre lower-level person to a superior of the organization.

Finally, there is the Demon God mission. The system said that the release of the Demon God mission must be related to "collapse".

The last Demon God mission required Xu Ziling to survive for thirty days and kill at least one chariot-level or higher-level collapse beast.

The next Demon God mission refresh, although it is not to say that he will fight the unborn Lei Lu, it should also be a bounty for a powerful collapse beast.

However, Xu Ziling is now in Mu Continent and is still a civilian beside Mebius. There is no reason to go out to fight the collapse beast.

And the lack of reason is the key. Secondly, Xu Ziling is reluctant to give up his current life. Going to the Collapse means that his current life will be destroyed. He finally settled down in Mu Continent. He didn't spend a few days with Sheshe to improve his goodwill. Why would he go to the Collapse when he has nothing to do?

Finally, there was no suitable candidate. The system asked him to recruit members and establish an organization. However, the most important thing for the development of an organization is the gathering of talents in the early stage. This cannot be sloppy, but Xu Ziling has not found the talents he likes, so this task has been delayed.

Can't dig Mobius into his own organization?

That's ridiculous, and Xu Ziling can't afford the funding for the research institute at all, and he has to go to Tianjin to blackmail.

All these reasons combined made Xu Ziling not so anxious to complete the pioneering task. Anyway, there are still 11 months before the deadline for the pioneering task. Now the second collapse

It just ended. The birth interval between the Thunder Law and the Void Law is the longest besides the Reason and Void Law. What Xu Ziling lacks the least now is time.

Thinking of this, Xu Ziling looked at his Xingqiong balance again:

[Xingqiong: 10200-10000+150*30=4700]

[Special Ticket: 20]

[System God Key Expansion: One Thousand Realms]

Yes, One Thousand Realms, this God Key that can drive the authority of [Sub-Void] has been forged by Xu Ziling through the God Key forging function of the system. The raw materials he needs to provide are the core of the Void Herrscher and a full 10,000 Xingqiong.

The cost of making this God Key seems a bit high, but in fact, the core of the Void Herrscher is an additional reward for Xu Ziling to complete the task, which does not conflict with the one he and Mebius are studying now. As for Xingqiong, the system's daily tasks can give 150, which is equivalent to getting the God Key for free.

The only flaw is that the Thousand Worlds One Vehicle created by the system through the core of the Herrscher of the Void is directly built into the system function. Xu Ziling can use the system's God Key function to drive the authority of the Sub-Void, but the Thousand Worlds One Vehicle built into the system cannot be taken out and cannot be used by others.

However, strictly speaking, these are not disadvantages, after all, at this time. If Xu Ziling really took out the Thousand Worlds One Vehicle with the appearance of a mud truck, Mobius, who was still painstakingly studying the core of the Herrscher of the Void, would probably fall into a brainstorm.

Now that the system has directly built it into the system function, it can be regarded as saving the suspicion plot after the second core of the Void Law is discovered.

"Little white mouse, what are you daydreaming about?"

Seeing Xu Ziling standing there without saying anything, Mebius stretched out his hand and waved it in front of Xu Ziling, saying,

"You haven't been infected with laziness by Alicia, have you... Tsk, I told you to stay away from that woman. Oh, by the way... there's one more thing I'm curious about. Didn't I solve your identity problem a long time ago? Why are you so persistent in asking me for a work card?"

"Well... Ha~ Doctor, I just want to keep a memory."

Xu Ziling smiled and said,

"After all, in my opinion... this work card can be regarded as proof that you and I have lived together. I want to keep it well."

"Tsk..."

Hearing Xu Ziling say this, Mebius Bius scratched his head unnaturally, then waved his hand and said,

"Stop, stop, stop, little white mouse. You said that as if I would leave you in the future... or are you going to leave me? Humph, I advise you to give up this idea as soon as possible. After all, you have admitted that your future life belongs to me. Even if you want to leave, I will not agree to it."

"Haha~"

Hearing this, Xu Ziling touched his smooth chin helplessly, then walked over and took Mobius's hand and said:

"Well. As long as you don't abandon me first, I will certainly never leave you."

After Xu Ziling finished speaking, the expression on Mobius's face became more unnatural. She was not good at expressing her emotions to others, and she was not good at it before.

Mebius simply turned his face away and said:

"Come on... Little white mouse. You have nothing else to do now, right? Do you remember what day it is today? That bastard Hen has returned from Changkong City, and now he is going to pick up little Grayshu with Blanca."

"Huh?"

Xu Ziling was startled, and then understood.

He has basically been helping Mebius with projects related to Honkai for the past month, studying the core of the Second Herrscher, and has not paid much attention to little Grayshu. Usually, it is Alicia who takes her out to play. Unexpectedly, little Grayshu is about to leave in the blink of an eye.

But if you think about it carefully, this is also reasonable. Even Hen, who was dealing with Honkai incidents on the front line in Changkong City, should have returned to Mu Continent half a month ago.

After all, the Herrschers over there are dead, and the source of the Great Honkai has fallen. Hen stayed there with a group of combat soldiers, just to suppress the small number of Honkai beasts scattered in the ruins of the city. There is no specific task to work, and it is definitely not busy.

It's just that the bloated mission system of the Fire Moth has been delaying Hen's mission reporting, which made him return to Mu Continent half a month late.

Blanca was also worried about her husband, and during this period she had been providing satellite assistance to Hen through the equipment of the Fire Moth branch in Mu Continent. Now that the collapse of Changkong City is over, they certainly have a reason to take their children back.

Now that Gray Xiu is leaving, although she is reluctant, she is just reluctant. Now the collapse is only developing

There is still a lot of time for human development between Sora and Lei, and they will meet again in the future.

Following Mobius out of the laboratory of the institute and into the living room, a couple was already chatting with their daughter and "daughter's sister" here.

"Haha! Grayshu, do you miss me, your dad? Dad, I miss you so much! Come and let Dad hug you."

The blue-haired man with an unruly hairstyle laughed at the little Grayshu next to Alicia across the sofa, and opened his arms to hug his daughter.

However, Grayshu blinked, decisively avoided the hug of her father, and then shifted her center of gravity and threw herself into the arms of Blanca next to Hen.

Blanca was stunned for a moment, then smiled with relief, hugged her daughter, raised her eyebrows proudly at Hen, and said,

"I said that Gray Xiu must be closer to her mother, don't you think?"

"This... ahem..."

Hen, who was hit by a smudge, didn't feel embarrassed at all, but smiled heartily and said,

"We are all family, so who is closer and who is not? I just think that little Gray Xiu is getting close to me, haha!"

"Well... no..."

At this time, little Gray Xiu in Blanca's arms poked her head out, raised one of her fingers seriously, and said,

"Alicia... my sister said... it's civilized for girls to be close to each other. But... Daddy is a boy, so... it's not good..."

"Puff!... Haha."

"... ah?"

Hearing little Gray Xiu's babyish but extremely serious words, Blanca really couldn't help laughing directly. Hen slowly typed out a question mark, looked at Ailishiya across the sofa with some annoyance, and said,

"No... Senior Ailishiya, is this how you teach your children?"

However, facing Hen's questioning, Ailishiya shook her head innocently and said:

"What are you talking about? Aili doesn't know?"

"..."

"Haha~Okay, okay♪~Just kidding, let's talk about business now."

Ailishiya smiled and waved to Hen.

Hen paused for a moment, then turned to look at Blanca and Grayxiu on the sofa beside him, and said:

"Blanca, take little Grayxiu away for a while... I have something to say to Senior Alicia."

Hearing this, Blanca's vigilance was immediately raised. After looking at Hen and Alicia on the sofa opposite with some suspicion, he said:

"Hen, you are not going to take this opportunity to ask for Senior Alicia's autograph, right?"

"This!... Ahem... Slander! Naked slander! Blanca, I said it was an accident last time, you have to believe me!"

Hen said, and stretched out his hand to pat his chest, saying,

"When have I ever lied to you? This time I really have something important to say..."

"You'd better..."

Looking at Hen like this, Blanca couldn't help but mutter in a low voice, but still stood up and prepared to hold little Grayxiu and leave the living room first.

However, she was stunned as soon as she turned around, and after reacting, she quickly said:

"Hey!... Dr. Mobius, and Ziling... You are here too..."

"Yeah."

Mobius nodded, then hugged his chest, looked at Blanca, and said meaningfully,

"Blanca, you are going to leave now after just meeting?"

"Ah... Doctor, I..."

Almost at the moment of seeing Mobius, the hostess who was relatively strong just now instantly wilted and turned back into the panicked senior sister.

"He... Ha~ Look at how nervous you are, I'm just teasing you."

Looking at Blanca like this, Mobius rarely smiled, then patted her shoulder and said,

"Blanca, since you have graduated from me, you don't have to be as reserved as before, show me your pride, don't let me look down on you."

"This... um..."

Blanca bit her lip, then nodded heavily.

"Senior Blanca."

Seeing this senior with blue hair again, Xu Ziling waved to her, then glanced at Mobius behind him and said,

"Senior, you can go outside the institute and wait for a while. The doctor should be done soon... To be honest, senior. A few days ago, the doctor knew that you were coming to see him, but he couldn't sleep. She also planned to buy some gifts for little Gray as souvenirs... Of course, some of them are for you, to make up for the last time I was so abrupt... Hey!"

Xu Ziling hasn't finished speaking yet,

Then Mobius grabbed his ear and said angrily:

"Little white mouse, who asked you? Don't say what you shouldn't say! It's just a reunion with the graduating students... Humph! I didn't toss and turn and couldn't sleep..."

"Uh... cough cough cough..."

Xu Ziling, whose ears were grabbed, was forced to bend down and agreed helplessly,

"Yes... Blanca, I was just being sentimental just now. Please don't take it seriously... Anyway, go outside and wait for us. I believe that what Mr. Hen wants to say won't be too... Hey! Doctor, be gentle..."

"This..."

Blanca looked at Xu Ziling being grabbed by the ear and taken away by Mobius, and her whole expression froze. Then she showed a helpless and relieved smile and nodded slightly,

"Yeah."
