Don't use yourself as payment for the commission!

After a slight smile, Bai Xun turned to look at the trash can next to the table, but didn't find her diary.

This made him frown slightly.

He remembered that he should have thrown the diary directly into the trash can, so how could it be gone?

Although he threw away the diary himself, it was still a ritual, much like how some people delete Bilibili, JM, P-site, e-site, Lao Wang and VPN when they decide to quit pornography.

I'm just temporarily deleting it to make it look like I'm doing it. If he can't find the link and can't download it again later, see how anxious he gets.

"Holy crap, is there something weird in this house?"

Bai Xun sensed something was amiss and began to ponder.

"Or is it that some super beautiful girl has a crush on me without my knowledge, and is constantly spying on me, taking my diary that I threw away when I went out and keeping it as a keepsake?"

Bai Xun was amused by his own fantasies at this point.

However, he wasn't worried about losing his diary. Firstly, the content was written in Chinese and no one could understand it, and secondly, the Tiger Talisman would help him easily retrieve his diary.

Although people often complain that the Tiger Talisman is useless, it is actually a conceptual item. In addition to the ability to balance Yin and Yang and split, the Tiger Talisman can also be used to find the missing parts of an object and restore it to its original state.

Bai Xun picked up a piece of altered paper from the table. It was something he had casually torn from his diary, and he never expected it to come in handy at this moment.

"Tiger Talisman, activate!"

The Tiger God's power buried within her body was triggered by Bai Xun's will, and the strong and clear guidance instantly allowed Bai Xun to locate the position of her lost diary.

So close, so very close, right behind me?

"Ok?"

Turning around with some confusion, Bai Xun's gaze fell on the landscape ink painting hanging on the wall.

After a moment of confusion, he couldn't help but reveal a meaningful smile.

The Tiger Talisman clearly told him that the diary was in this painting. Who could bring something into the painting and still reside in the Great Yan? It's really hard to guess!

I just randomly found a treasure on Taobao.

"Oh well, it's just a diary. If it's lost, it's lost. Anyway, there wasn't anything shameful written in it."

Somewhat, Ke Qing said this, so Bai Xun put the matter aside for the time being.

I'll wait until the time is right to find a way to enter the world of the painting and have an in-depth conversation with Xi Gua.

Otherwise, with my current small size, I probably wouldn't be able to get out of the painting.

[Host, we have guests. Please prepare to receive them.]

"Holy crap, why do you make it sound like you're in that kind of business?"

After grumbling about the suddenly appearing panel, Bai Xun sat back down in his seat, interlacing his fingers in a pose that looked very cool.

Silently watching a beautiful green figure slowly emerge from the silvery-white gate of light.

At first glance, she appears to be just a pretty, uniquely dressed green-haired girl, but her amber snake eyes, scrutinizing Bai Xun, instantly reveal the girl's special nature.

Like a cold and arrogant snake eyeing a white mouse about to fall into its mouth, it scrutinizes everything before it with a mixture of scrutiny and curiosity.

"Who are you? Where is this...?"

The girl, as graceful and charming as a snake, possessed a sweet voice that matched her appearance.

It's Miss Green Snake!

Bai Xun instantly recognized the guest's identity—Infinity Serpent Mebius.

One of the thirteen heroes of the Moth of Fire, an anti-Honkai organization from the pre-Honkai era, ranked "X" and marked with "Infinity," a mad scientist who constantly shouts "Join the glorious evolution!"

Although she appears cold-blooded and crazy, she is actually a super tsundere who is all bark and no bite, as can be seen from the fact that her arrows toward Airi are always blue.

However, it's not quite right to say that, since who wouldn't like Alicia?

“Miss Mebius, I am Xu Xian... cough cough, just kidding, my name is Bai Xun.”

Bai Xun subconsciously gave this answer, causing Mebius to frown instantly.

Does this man know me? And who the hell is having fun with me? That pink fat woman?

The moment he stepped into this new space, Möbius realized that this was not a world of memories like the paradise of the past, but the real world.

He had simply pushed open a door to leave the Paradise of the Past and come to this place, and he could exist stably in reality as a memory without a physical body. Moreover, this strange man who knew his name... all of this made Möbius's desire to explore rise uncontrollably.

It felt like Mai-senpai was crawling all over me.

At the same time, the panel prompts reappeared in front of Bai Xun's eyes.

[The guest, Möbius, is a memory entity and does not yet possess a physical body. He can only exist within the agency's premises. If he leaves the agency's premises, he will be forcibly returned to his original world.]

Chapter 17 Mebius: Are you out of your mind?

[The guest, Möbius, is a memory entity and does not yet possess a physical body. He can only exist within the agency's premises. If he leaves the agency's premises, he will be forcibly returned to his original world.]

So it was a memory snake.

But it doesn't matter, whether it's a memory snake or a real snake, I'll fuck it the same!

Realizing that the person in front of him, Mebius, was the one who had come to his paradise, Bai Xun pondered how to entertain this "unwelcome guest" while reminding Mebius of something.

"Friendly reminder: you are still just a memory. It's just that the special rules of this store allow you to appear stably in reality for the time being. As soon as you step out of this door, you will be sent back to the Paradise of the Past."

"interesting..."

Möbius withdrew his gaze from the bustling city outside the window and asked with a light laugh.

"This shop? Oh, my all-powerful owner, may I ask what you sell here?"

"This is not a shop, but a dimensional agency."

Bai Xun shook his head and corrected Möbius's misunderstanding.

"As an agency that connects all worlds, any being from any world may come here—power, life, unfulfilled desires. As long as the payment is right, I will fulfill any request for you."

"anything?"

Upon noticing the keyword, Mebius couldn't help but scrutinize Bai Xun from head to toe, his thin lips curving into a very dangerous arc.

Before Mebius could speak, Bai Xun smiled first.

"Yes, anything, including fulfilling your greatest wish right now—to provide you with a physical body that can perfectly bear your infinite imprints."

Once again, Bai Xun's preemptive strike shattered Möbius's thoughts. He remained silent for a moment, then looked at Bai Xun with a hint of amusement in his eyes.

"You seem to know a lot?"

"Not many, just the former civilization, the thirteen heroes, Klein, and the Paradise of the Past."

Mebius scoffed and offered no comment.

"Manager, let's stop wasting each other's time with this nonsense."

"I do need a physical body to leave the Pure Land of the Afterlife, but what do you want from me?"

The serpentine young woman swayed her petite yet alluring body as she slowly approached Bai Xun, as if she were on her own turf despite being a guest.

With an air of elegance and composure, as if everything was under control, her alluring red lips curved slightly into a smile.

"What you're looking for: research, technology, and wisdom?"

All of the past paradises and even pre-civilizations.

Or is it...?

Möbius walked up to Bai Xun, stood on tiptoe, and leaned his upper body on the front desk to get closer to Bai Xun. His amber snake eyes stared intently at the young man who was so close to him.

"Or is it that what you want is me?"

"Hey, girl, is this how you bend over?"

Bai Xun leaned back slightly, creating some distance between himself and Mebius, and looked at the green snake spirit lady in front of him with disdain.

"Sorry, I like Azur Lane, not Azur Archives. What I crave is Big Thunder. If you had said this before, I might have felt something, but now you and your Little Thunder just make me laugh!"

Mebius was furious!

"Vulgar and foolish!"

Möbius frowned slightly and retorted.

"That loser is dead! I survived, traversing the end and fifty thousand years! I have surpassed that loser; I am the true Infinite Serpent, the true Mebius!"

The real me!

"Do you mean by 'crossing the end' you mean hiding in the paradise of the past and playing house without even getting a body?"

True damage is the most real damage. The Mebius Memory was indeed trapped in the Paradise of the Past for a full 50,000 years, just as Haku Xun said.

Craving infinite [immortality], she could not be satisfied with existing merely as a memory. She desperately longed to escape the paradise of her past life, reshape her physical body, and embark once again on the path of pursuing infinity.

The mysterious store manager in front of me may be my best and only opportunity.

"Then please name your price, store manager."

Mebius shrugged helplessly and chose to relinquish control.

That's not quite right either, since she didn't actually have the power to control things; she was just trying to fight for it.

If she weren't so unsure, she would have even considered directly taking over Bai Xun's body.

"I'll do anything as long as you can provide me with a perfect body that satisfies me."

What was originally just a show of weakness turned into a chill the moment Mebius uttered the words. Even as a memory, she couldn't escape this instinctive heart palpitation.

At the same time, a request notification popped up in front of Bai Xun.

[Triggering the quest [Infinite Serpent]]

[Commission Description: The Infinite Serpent Mebius yearns to escape the paradise of the past, regain a physical body, and pursue infinity. If you can sculpt a body that perfectly satisfies her, you will gain everything she has.]

[Compensation: [Infinite Serpent] Mebius]

Chapter 18 Hai Si doesn't have flesh and blood, so let's use a silicone doll as a substitute for now.

[Compensation: [Infinite Serpent] Mebius]

It seems our green snake spirit didn't expect that a casual remark would sell her out completely.

Endure, endure it!

But how could I possibly hold back something so funny!

Bai Xun couldn't help but chuckle softly, which made Mebius instinctively feel that something was wrong.

“Miss Mebius, I accept your commission.”

Suppressing his smile, Bai Xun tried to make his expression appear serious.

"But since I'm also a novice and still in the early stages of starting a business, it may take me a long time to complete your request."

"what?"

Möbius's serpentine eyes narrowed as he stared intently at Bai Xun, who was making empty promises to him.

Are you kidding me?

"It's not a joke."

To appease Möbius, who was showing a hint of hostility towards him, Bai Xun continued to explain.

"It's easy to give you a body that you can temporarily possess, but creating a [infinite] body that perfectly meets your needs is by no means easy. Of course, I have some ideas."

“There is a kind of creature in our world called Haisi, which has the characteristic of infinite evolution based on external environmental stimuli. I think Miss Mebius should be quite interested in Haisi’s flesh and blood.”

"Ha, what a grand vision! I've heard plenty of these high-sounding words before."

Möbius smiled dismissively, but ultimately nodded slightly.

"However, I agree. Let me look forward to the beautiful flesh and blood of the sea creature you spoke of, shopkeeper. Snakes are quite patient creatures..."

Even if it's worse, it's still better than playing house in the paradise of the past. That limited and locked world of memories cannot bear the infinity that Möbius craves.

As long as he can obtain a body, even if it is not perfect, Mebius can use it as a basis to reshape a more suitable body for himself.
