Chen Ci finally adjusted his mask and hat and boarded the elevator to the top floor.
Today was not an important day, and not many people were traveling early in the morning. People kept going up and down the elevator, and when it finally reached the water supply station, Chen Ci was the only one left.
There were still four hundred meters to the top floor, and the elevator stopped at the height of the farm.
Chen Ci raised his hand and swiped his pass on the ID card.
The elevator lit up green again, allowing passengers to travel, and continued upward.
He quietly looked at the shadow reflected on the inner wall of the elevator. The boy had his sportswear pulled up to the top, with the raised collar covering his neck. His hands were in his pockets, and his grey clothes and pants were ordinary.
The elevator finally stops at the station on the top floor.
Chen Ci swiped his pass again, and the door opened to the sides in front of him. He walked out, and the moment he stepped onto the floor of the room, he left the dungeon.
Just like when he came, quietly and without attracting any attention.
Chen Ci didn't say goodbye to anyone, including Fu Tianhe.
Maybe the Alpha is still looking forward to the day when they meet again and wants to teach him more about the operation skills of CNC machine tools.
This pass, which cost 10,500 Auggies, was declared invalid when Chen Ci stepped out of the station and swiped the card for the last time.
Chen Ci looked towards the bell tower, took one last look around, and walked towards the bell tower alone.
As he had done many times before, Chen Ci climbed up the stairs to the top of the bell tower and entered the bathroom where he and Chen Nian met for the first time.
Chen Ci waited quietly, his mental power radiating out quietly, spreading like a net, locking onto the entire bell tower, and no movement could escape detection.
After more than half an hour, he sensed that the elevator was rising and stopped at this floor.
Soon Chen Ci heard brisk footsteps. A few seconds later, the footsteps came outside the bathroom and the closed door was pushed open.
Chen Ci finally met Chen Nian again.
Chen Nian changed into easy-to-put-on-and-off clothes for today's meeting. The specially tailored fabric outlines his boyish figure, and the light color scheme makes him look more youthful and energetic.
Chen Ci pulled off his mask, and before he could say anything, Chen Nian took a step forward, opened his arms and gave him a big hug without saying a word.
Chen Nian hugged Chen Ci so hard that he almost lifted his feet off the ground.
The sudden large-area physical contact made Chen Ci freeze for a moment, but perhaps because the other person was his brother, he did not feel a strong sense of discomfort or disgust.
Chen Ci hesitated for a moment, raised his hand, placed it on Chen Nian's back, and patted her gently twice.
Chen Nian's joy seemed to have spread to him, making Chen Ci feel relaxed.
Chen Nian let go of Chen Ci and looked at his brother whom he hadn't seen for five days. This was only their second meeting. "How are you? Are you okay?"
"No problem." Chen Ci shook his head. "What about you? Are you used to it?"
"I'm too used to it. You don't know, I've been having so much fun these days." Chen Nian pulled Chen Ci to sit on the steps, eager to tell Chen Ci about his "glorious deeds".
Chen Ci was stunned when he heard that Chen Nian asked Shafley to take him out almost every day.
"I also attended the royal dinner. You have no idea how many Omegas were there who wanted to pester Shaflay. It was simply too much."
Chen Ci had heard before that he had a bad relationship with Shaflay and never appeared in public, which made many noble Omegas want to replace him and become the prince's consort.
Chen Ci was too lazy to pay attention to it, but he didn't expect Chen Nian to vent his anger for him.
However, Chen Ci didn't care about these. Seeing Chen Nian being towards him like this, he couldn't help but feel some unfamiliar warm emotions in his heart.
Is this... family?
Chen Nian talked for a while, and seeing that Chen Ci was just listening, he poked him with his arm and asked, "Don't just listen, brother, how do you feel in the dungeon?"
Chen Ci: "It was good. I visited many places."
Chen Nian: "Is it impossible to compare with the top level?"
Chen Ci said, "No, I like the bottom one."
Chen Nian was surprised and asked, "Really?"
"Yeah, I also met... No, nothing much."
"That's great. I was worried that you wouldn't be able to adapt." Chen Nian breathed a sigh of relief and didn't care about Chen Ci's final change of words.
The two sat on the steps and talked about their experiences over the past five days.
Strangely enough, this was only their second meeting, but when they talked about it now, it felt like they had known each other for a long time.
Maybe it's because they live in each other's room, and every detail they observe helps them understand each other better.
Until the terminal on Chen Nian's wrist buzzed.
"Shafulai is urging us." Chen Nian took a look and quickly replied "right away". He said to Chen Nian, "He is waiting on the first floor of the clock tower. Let's switch back."
Chen Ci nodded, and the two brothers quickly took off their clothes and exchanged them.
Chen Nian put on a shirt and a gray sports suit, while Chen Ci lowered his head to button up his royal robe. After five days of madness, they returned to their respective life tracks.
But obviously, a lot has changed.
Chen Nian didn't say it, but Chen Ci could tell that Chen Nian really enjoyed life at the top and enjoyed it more than he did.
Now that my brother has experienced the luxurious life he should have lived, is it considered cruel to let him go back to the dungeon?
"Chen Nian." Chen Ci called softly.
"Um?"
"Do you want to continue?"
"Continue what?" Chen Nian exclaimed, "Continue switching back and forth?"
"Um."
Chen Nian smiled: "Of course I do, but it doesn't matter to me. I can be anywhere."
Chen Ci: "This time next Monday, if you want to exchange identities again, wait for me here. If everything goes well, you can stay on the top floor for three weeks."
Chen Nian saw that he was not joking and became serious: "Really?"
"Um."
"But you're going to live in the dungeon for three weeks. Is that really possible?"
"It's okay." Chen Ci hesitated for a moment and said, "I still have a favor to repay."
"Favor?" Chen Nian became curious. He thought for a moment and guessed, "Ah, a pass?"
Chen Ci did not answer. From his expression, Chen Nian knew almost everything.
"Okay, that's settled then." Chen Nian punched his palm and became excited. "It's really fun to think about it."
"By the way, there have been a lot of things going on these days, and there may be some things I haven't had time to tell you. I have written them down in the diary according to your request. Be sure to read it!"
"Okay." Chen Ci agreed. Seeing Chen Nian's excitement, a hint of warmth appeared in his cold eyes. "I've also written down everything."
"I also asked Shafley for this." Chen Nian took the chip of the long-term pass out of Chen Ci's terminal and put it into his own terminal. "I have the pass with me, so I can get up smoothly when the time comes."
The two brothers quickly worked out their next plan.
Shafley was still waiting, and Chen Ci didn't hesitate to say goodbye to Chen Nian.
Chen Ci walked out of the bathroom and came to the first floor of the clock tower, where Shafley was sitting on a chair waiting.
Hearing his return, Shafley immediately looked up, closed the game forum, put away the terminal, and stood up to greet Chen Ci: "What took you so long?"
"Let's look at the scenery for a while." Chen Ci said in a calm voice, "Let's go."
Chen Ci and Shafley left the bell tower and took a bus back to the White Tower.
Shafulai had something to do in the morning, but at Chen Nian's request, he took a special leave to take Chen Nian out. After sending Chen Nian back to the White Tower, he had to rush over immediately.
Chen Ci sat by the window, looking outside quietly. He returned to the top floor again. It seemed like a long time had passed in just five short days.
This was the silence that Schafflei was accustomed to.
Shafley looked at Chen Ci for several times. For some reason, he always felt that something was wrong.
He couldn't put it into words. The subtle temperament of each person was difficult to describe in words, but when you were really close to them, you could feel it clearly.
The car stopped in the open space in front of the White Tower. Seeing Chen Ci about to go in, Shafulai asked, "Do you need me to accompany you to the base tomorrow?"
Chen Ci glanced at him and said coldly and politely, "No, thank you."
This was his normal attitude when facing Shafla, or rather, Chen Ci was like this to everyone.
"Oh." Shafley pursed his lips, feeling a little uncomfortable with the rejection.
In these few days, he has never refused Chen Ci. No matter what he has to do, as long as Chen Ci wants to go out, he will turn down the offer to accompany him.
Now he took the initiative to ask for companionship, but was rejected.
Shafley did not force it. He watched Chen Ci walk into the White Tower and returned to the car silently.
Chen Ci had no idea that the Crown Prince had become so sensitive under Chen Nian's subtle training.
He stepped into the elevator and fished the temporary pass from his pocket.
The tiny chip has failed.
Chen Ci will never forget how it came into his hands.
Even though they had only known each other for a short time, the Alpha named Fu Tianhe was willing to stay up late to work for him and spend a huge amount of money to buy a pass of unknown purpose.
Chen Ci left the dungeon without saying goodbye to Fu Tianhe.
——Because it is not needed for the time being.
Chen Ci returned to the bedroom and as soon as he entered the door he saw a huge ecological tank placed in the most conspicuous place, almost the size of an entire wall.
He was stunned for a moment, then reached out and gently touched the slightly cool glass. The low vegetation and water circles, the translucent swimming fish, and the frogs hunting presented the most realistic natural scene before his eyes.
Did Chen Nian get this?
Chen Ci stood beside the ecological tank and looked at it attentively for a while. Just as Chen Nian thought, he liked it very much.
As for the rest of the day... he had to look at the log first to learn more about what happened to Chen Nian.
At the same time, Chen Nian successfully went down to the Cinnabar No. 13 information processing area.
As soon as he got off the elevator, Chen Nian ran straight to the station. He took a look at his final balance and was surprised to find that Chen Ci had hardly spent any money.
His brother, who lived a lavish life, was actually a frugal man.
It was time to buy medicine, so Chen Nian breathed a sigh of relief and his already high liking for Chen Ci increased even more.
——Is Shafla blind? He actually ignores his brother who is so kind and perfect.
Chen Nian came to the drugstore and bought all the medicines that Jiang Dai needed, leaving only 2,000 yuan in the account balance.
When I got home, it was already two o'clock in the afternoon.
The lights on the second floor were not on again. Chen Nian checked and saw the wires in the meter box that had been bitten off. He immediately understood what was going on.
Well, it's ruined by the damn rats again.
It's on the upper floor and no one came to repair it, so I guess he will have to do it in the end.
Chen Nian passed three identity locks and finally stepped into the house again after five days.
"I'm back." He shouted out of habit.
The sound of a chair being pushed away was heard in the study, and Jiang Dai staggered out. The moment he saw Chen Nian, he breathed a sigh of relief imperceptibly.
"Where did you go?" Jiang Dai asked.
Chen Nian didn't notice the subtle lightness in Jiang Dai's tone and replied, "I found a friend."
He put the medicine into the almost empty medicine cabinet, sorted them out, and said to Jiang Dai without turning his head: "Uncle Jiang, I may be back a little late tonight, don't wait for me."
"I'm worried."
"What are you worried about?" Chen Nian laughed. "I'm eighteen, not eight. You should go to bed on time. Staying up late will only hurt your body."
After some discussion, Jiang Dai finally agreed not to wait for him.
Chen Nian took five days off without the foreman's permission. Now that he was back in the dungeon, he had to hurry to his workplace.
He has to take on as much work as possible tonight. After experiencing the life of the prince's wife for a few days, Chen Nian truly realized how good it is to have money.
Chen Nian placed the medicines that Jiang Dai needed to take in the past week in the most conspicuous place on the study desk, reminding Jiang Dai not to forget to take them every day.
Then he took the flashlight and checked Jiang Dai's injured eyes.
“Is the field of view still getting smaller?”
"It's no problem."
"No, I still have to go and take a look." Chen Nian was worried.
Over the past few years, Jiang Dai's eyesight has been getting worse and worse, and his field of vision has begun to shrink. Now he can only see in a circle, and the scope of the circle is gradually shrinking.
This is a precursor to blindness.
Chen Nian has always wanted to take Jiang Dai to the hospital, but Jiang Dai disagreed, perhaps because he was afraid that his identity would be discovered. Chen Nian also did not have enough money, so he could only rely on taking medicine to get through it until now.
"Let's wait and see next month. If the condition continues to worsen, I will have to go to the hospital."
Chen Nian looked serious. Seeing that Jiang Dai wanted to say something, he immediately said, "You must listen to me on this matter. Besides, we have lived here for so many years, there should be no problem."
This time, for some reason, Jiang Dai stopped arguing with Chen Nian and agreed.
Chen Nian took care of Jiang Dai's lunch break while she quickly cleaned up the housework.
Of course, he couldn't expect Chen Ci to do any housework during the few days he was there, but Chen Nian was already very happy that Chen Ci didn't complain about the poor conditions.
Chen Nian wiped the water off her hands, and the thin silk on the palms was a little chapped. For someone who often does housework, this is normal.
After cleaning the house, Chen Nian straightened up and breathed a sigh of relief. He had just taken a bath in the White Pagoda this morning and felt refreshed.
Chen Nian closed the door of her bedroom and saw the tidy desk and the folded quilt. She couldn't help but exclaim.
——His brother is still a snail girl.
Chen Nian sat down on the edge of the bed and touched the smooth bed. There was a faint scent of tuberose in the air, which was left by Chen Ci.
Strangely enough, they have exactly the same appearance and pheromones, but their personalities and habits are completely different.
Chen Nian didn't hesitate too much. He took out the spray from the cupboard, shook it, sat down at the table, faced the mirror, and pressed the plunger.
Red powder sprayed out, densely covering the soft black hair. Chen Niansu played with her hair with her white fingertips, staring at herself in the mirror, allowing more parts of her body to be dyed with the passionate red.
After making sure that every strand of black hair was dyed red, Chen Nian put down the hair spray, went to the mirror to examine it carefully, and casually created a hairstyle that did not require hairspray, then stood up.
After taking off the striped shirt that Chen Ci had chosen, Chen Nian stood naked in front of the open closet. After pondering for a moment, he took out a gauze tight-fitting top and denim shorts.
The top ties at the back waist, exposing the entire upper back, showing off the beautiful shoulders and butterfly bones. The soft fabric fits closely to the body, outlining the lines of the waist and abdomen and the slightly concave navel.
Chen Nian adjusted his trousers and put on a leg ring. He opened the jewelry box and ran his fingertips through a variety of anti-bite collars, finally taking out one with a buckle.
The necklace and pendant fit the Omega boy's neck and collarbone, and the cold metal was being warmed up little by little by his skin.
Chen Nian finally took out his colored contact lenses. He closed his eyes slightly, and when he opened them again, his originally amber eyes had changed. His right eye was clear green, while his left eye was an evil red.
In just twenty minutes, Chen Nian transformed herself completely and got rid of the image of "Prince's Consort".
He once again became the Chen Nian that the dungeon Alphas were familiar with.
Jiang Dai was still resting. Chen Nian put on a denim jacket, tiptoed out of the door, and headed straight for the "Black Box" nightclub where he worked in the West District.
Chen Nian sent a message to the foreman in advance, and when he entered through the back door of this most famous nightclub in Information Processing Area 13, the boss was already waiting in the backstage lounge.
The female Alpha wore delicate makeup, suspenders and a tight skirt. She had a great figure, and only the fine lines around her eyes and lips showed that she was no longer young.
Seeing Chen Nian finally coming over, the boss Li Shu stood up, looked at the boy whom he hadn't seen for several days, and asked, "Where have you been these days?"
"It's urgent." Chen Nian walked over with a smile and took her arm. "Sister Li, please be considerate of me. I have been here for quite a while, and this is the first time I have asked for a long vacation."
No one could get angry at the boy's smiling eyes, not even someone as capable as Li Shu.
She sighed and said, "Okay, just remember to come back. When you were away, people kept looking for you—"
Chen Nian immediately said, "I'll go over now."
The boy's sensible look made Li Shu feel much better.
Since Chen Nian came to Black Box eight months ago, he has surpassed other Omegas who have been working there for several years and has become the most popular hostess.
Every day, countless Alphas ask for Chen Nian's company, but only those who offer the highest price have the chance to meet the boy.
Of course, the fact that the underground city opened its doors to the public is no secret.
Under the temptation of top-level pheromones, Chen Nian's openness made the Alphas eager to become the chosen one to break his virginity.
Only what you can't get is the best.
Li Shu knew very well how much extra value Chen Nian, as a virgin, could bring to the black box.
She specifically instructed Chen Nian about this and never let Chen Nian be alone in a room with guests.
At least now is not the right time.
Chen Nian was also very obedient. He drank with the guests, laughed heartily, showed off his young body and extremely seductive Omega pheromones, but firmly guarded the last bottom line.
Who doesn’t like a child who is capable in business and is obedient and sensible?
So even if Chen Nian suddenly asked for five days off without saying anything, Li Shu didn't make things difficult for him and still paid his salary.
She knew that Chen Nian was short of money, and it was precisely because of this that she could keep him firmly under her control.
"Who came to see him today?" Li Shu asked the foreman beside him.
"Nick Foley, deputy general manager of United Foods."
Li Shu nodded and said, "Let Charlie follow Chen Nian as well."
Chen Nian pushed open the door of the private room.
Five or six Alphas were sprawled out on the leather sofa, drinking. When they saw someone push the door open, they raised their eyelids casually.
The moment they noticed who was coming, everyone suddenly woke up.
"Hey, look who's this?" The Alphas were obviously excited, and no matter how pretty the hostesses beside them were, they could no longer attract their attention.
"Sorry for the long wait." Chen Nian walked to the leading Alpha in a relaxed manner and sat down beside him.
"We came here two days ago, but the boss said you were not there."
Nico stretched out his arms and naturally put them around Chen Nian's shoulders. His hands slid down and tore open Chen Nian's open coat, then he grasped the Omega boy's bare shoulders.
"I was busy these few days and just got back today." Chen Nian leaned into Alpha's arms, took the wine glass from Nico, and took a sip.
The dim light fell on him, his curled eyelashes drooped heavily as if carrying an unnecessary weight, and the wine moistened his light-colored lips, giving them a special fragrance.
Nick rubbed Chen Nian's skin with his fingers and immediately ordered a bottle of very expensive wine. Listening to his lavish order, Chen Nian seemed to hear a crisp reminder sound of the bonus being credited.
Chen Nian did not resist such contact. Normally, he would hug Alpha's neck with a smile and do some more intimate actions.
But today, everything seems to have become boring.
There is no harm without comparison. After meeting the high-quality Alphas at the royal dinner, Chen Nian returned to the arms of these people in the dungeon. No matter their pheromones or behaviors, they could no longer arouse any more reaction in him.
Originally, he thought it was exciting to be the one that everyone wanted but couldn't get, but now he feels...it's just like that.
No matter how exciting it is, it can't compare to the adrenaline rush of dealing with many proud men of heaven and hunting as prey.
For the first time, Chen Nian felt like doing things in a businesslike manner.
He accompanied the deputy manager of United Foods, drinking and joking with him, and even felt that time was passing a little slowly.
Finally, when the other party deliberately poured the wine on his collarbone, and the flowing wine soaked his clothes and stuck to his chest coolly, Chen Nian gently pushed Nick's shoulder, smiled and stood up: "I'm going to the bathroom."
Chen Nian hurried to the bathroom, turned on the faucet, and used the water to clean his collarbone.
This is a very normal situation at work. Just take a shower and it will be fine. At worst you can go backstage and change clothes.
Chen Nian stared at herself in the mirror, her fingers wet in the flowing water.
At this moment someone suddenly bumped into him from behind.
The collision was so strong that Chen Nian stumbled forward, his hips hitting the hard sink and he hissed in pain.
Chen Nian frowned and turned around. The Alpha who had just come out of the bathroom was so drunk that his face was red and he could hardly walk steadily.
Perhaps it was because of the alcohol that made him bolder, he stared at Chen Nian with a rather explicit look, muttered some dirty words, and wanted to come closer again.
Chen Nian nimbly dodged to the side, and he immediately turned the faucet to the maximum, pressing his palm on the water outlet——
The cool stream of water immediately spurted out, hitting the Alpha's face with incredible precision.
Alpha immediately howled and tried to dodge, but as a drunk, how could he escape the water flow whose direction was controlled by Chen Nian?
Chen Nian didn't let go until a waiter came running after hearing the noise.
He turned off the faucet, shook the water droplets off his hands, walked slowly to the Alpha who had staggered backwards and fallen to the ground, and bent down slightly.
"Are you awake now?"
The boy's voice was gentle, his brows were slightly furrowed, and his heterochromatic eyes reflected the drenched and wolfish look of the Alpha, as if he really cared about his situation.
Alpha stared at him blankly for a moment and nodded randomly.
His mind, which had been washed by the cool water, became clear for a moment, and he naturally understood the scene before him as an unexpected meaning - he was drunk, and Chen Nian was helping him.
Chen Nian smiled, stood up and was about to leave when he heard Alpha's vague and urgent voice behind him:
"Chen... Chen Nian..."
Chen Nian took the towel from the waiter with an expressionless face, wiped the water off his hands and neck, and left without looking back.
