Double O swap life!

Chen Nian and Shaffley went back to the box together.

I wanted to hook up with Chen Nian, but turned out to be Shaffery by accident. Antonio was completely honest, and the three of them finished their meals in the second half and prepared to go back to their respective homes.

Shaffley sat in the car, not saying a word.

He didn't really want to talk about Antonio's problem. It was a friendship of more than ten years. They had attended classes together, trained together, and traveled together since they were young. It was just this morning that an irreparable rift had formed.

Perhaps it's the same with any relationship, long hours of nurturing it together can sustain it, and it only takes a few little things to ruin it.

And the other instigator was sitting beside him in a happy mood, humming a ditty.

Chen Nian was indeed very happy.

Antonio thought he was a hunter, but was played around by him. Chen Nian loved to watch this kind of drama that was kept in the dark.

Maybe Antonio will never know the truth, immersed in the illusion created by his self-imagining and his performance, or one day the truth will be revealed, showing a shocked expression like being struck by lightning.

Either way, it's fun to think about.

Chen Nian didn't feel guilty at all. Antonio's ability to pin his ideas on him and dare to flirt with his good friend's behavior has already proved that he is not a good person.

Maybe the top floor has had a lot of secrets about the royal family that are really messed up like this before, and Antonio was able to hook him up so boldly and without psychological burden.

Only Shaffley grew more irritable.

Shafelai couldn't get angry with Chen Nian. On the contrary, he had to thank Chen Nian for letting him see the true face of his good friend.

It's just that he can't get over the hurdle in his heart for the time being.

That was his best friend for ten years, ten years!How could it be like this!

Of course Chen Nian knew that Shaffley was in a bad mood, as long as anyone with eyes could see the clouds on the First Prince's face.

He stopped humming, so as not to annoy the other party if he didn't pay attention. After half a minute of silence, he asked, "What are you going to do this afternoon?"

Shaffley: "I'm busy with some important things in the afternoon, so I can't accompany you. Find something to do by yourself, can you?"

"Okay." Chen Nian agreed, he was not eight years old, he had already passed the age where he must be accompanied.

Besides, Shaffley had something to do, which only meant that he couldn't leave the palace, but he could call his friends over to play.

"By the way, what did you study before?" Shafele asked Chen Nian, thinking of the questions he had been thinking about just after class.

"Just finish high school normally."

Before that, Jiang Dai often took Chen Nian to move. Basically, he only lived in each area for two or three years before leaving. Chen Nian kept changing schools and had no sense of belonging to the school.

For the vast majority of people living in dungeons, if they are not research materials, it is normal to go to work after high school to realize their labor value.

But Chen Nian is now using the status of the princess and concubine, even if there is no exchange in the future, he is still a child of the Chen family, and he should have the opportunity to continue his studies.

"I'll find you a tutor and study a few lessons."

When Chen Nian heard that he was going to school again, he was a little unhappy: "Why?"

It is never a bad thing to receive education and improve yourself. Chen Nian obviously still has the idea of ​​​​growing up in the dungeon, and only cares about the present.

Shaffley patiently explained to him: "As long as it is a powerful family, it will allow its children to receive education as much as possible. You are the child of Marshal Chen Wei. If it weren't for the accident that year, you would definitely continue to study."

"But what if, the reality is that I have lived in the dungeon for 18 years, have graduated from high school, and can go to work."

"So can you go to work now?"

Chen Nian blinked and said, "I came to the top floor to enjoy life? Wouldn't it be miserable to go to school again?"

Shaffley: "The meaning of the statement should not be to ask you to simply eat, drink and have fun. He wants you to take back your own identity."

Chen Nian: "What about my brother? He's not on the top floor now, and he doesn't have to go to school."

Shaffley: "Chen Ci has finished his university courses, and he has been receiving the best education in the White Tower."

Chen Nian was startled, Chen Ci was the same as him, obviously the only one, why did he already finish college?

"Of course, I'm not forcing you, you can choose the direction you like to study. Otherwise, I often have things to do, and I can't go out with you. You can't find something to do in the palace, isn't it a bit boring? "

Chen Nian thought about it and felt that what he said made sense.

"What major does my brother study?"

"Ocean Science."

In an era when seawater floods the entire earth, marine science is definitely a well-deserved ace major.

Chen Nian rubbed his chin and fell into deep thought. Not only did his brother finish the most professional college courses, he mastered many skills such as flower arrangement, cooking, musical instruments, etc., and he also had mental power strong enough to move things with his mind.

Compared with Chen Ci, he is indeed far behind, and it seems that he should continue to study.

He asked Shaffley: "What major do you think I am suitable for?"

Shaffley: "You need to choose by yourself. You can think about what you are most interested in, or find someone to introduce you to the content of various subjects, and then make a choice after you understand it."

"Okay, then let me find out what subjects are there."

Seeing that Chen Nian agreed, Shafelai secretly heaved a sigh of relief. Most of the time, Chen Nian was very reasonable: "I will specifically find a tutor. Do you have any special requirements?"

"Alpha, it's better to be a boy, younger and more handsome." Chen Nian said without thinking.

Shafele was taken aback, and couldn't help reminding: "The teacher is invited here to study, not to fall in love."

"I know. But if there is a teacher who matches my aesthetics, I will feel better in class and learn things faster."

Shaffley: ………

What Chen Nian said was so straightforward, it was a matter of course, even though he was quite unwilling in his heart, Shaffley reluctantly agreed.

Back in the palace, the two went into their rooms to take a lunch break.

Chen Nian didn't have the habit of resting at noon, but during those days in the White Tower, he needed to arrange activities according to the time provided by the smart housekeeper, and slowly began to take a nap.

Maybe it's because the sun can be seen on the top floor, and noon is the hottest time, so Chen Nian also feels very comfortable to sleep.

He woke up an hour and a half later, lay on the bed and watched the video for a while, and lingered until three o'clock before leaving the bed.

Chen Nian waved his hand, and the curtain hidden in the wall immediately became transparent, and the whole room recovered from the darkness most suitable for sleeping.

The afternoon sun slanted in from the floor-to-ceiling windows, bringing the gentlest warmth.

It happened to be the time he and Gui Zhiqi had agreed upon, so Chen Nian changed her clothes and waited for her at the gate of the palace.

Yesterday he told the waiter who was taking care of the big goose not to feed it anymore, and now he happened to go there with Gui Zhiqi to let the big goose know who is the owner.

And in the tsavorite bedroom separated by a wall.

Shaffley got up an hour earlier than Chen Nian, and he only took a 10-minute break at noon, which was the best length of lunch break.

Alpha is sitting in front of the table, and the 12-yuan virtual screens are unfolded to surround him in an arc.

Lines of code are being displayed on the virtual screen, and the radiant light is reflected on the goggles, illuminating Shaffley's face, making his expression more serious.

On the largest screen on the right hand side, a huge database is displayed.

This is what Shaffley needs to do every week - check the core procedures of Cinnabar.

As a supercomputer, Cinnabar can repair and adjust itself, but it still needs some manual maintenance. After all, no matter how sophisticated a computer is, it may make mistakes. At this time, human judgment is crucial.

Only members of the royal family have such authority.

There are three Shaffley brothers and sisters. Except for him, the two princesses have no interest in computers. Aphrodite and Yelena have also studied related things. This is not because they are Alpha or Omega. any changes.

But unfortunately, one of his two sisters became upset and lost his temper when he saw the code, and the other can only output one line of "hello, world" so far.

Both Afro and Yelena have their own fields of interest. Afro prefers aerospace engineering to boring code, while Yelena has shown amazing talent in chemistry.

The emperor also felt that it was cruel to force them to study a major that they were not interested in at all. Fortunately, Shaffery was a genius in related fields since he was a child, and he was able to pass the burden on to his eldest son.

Shaffley spent two hours to make sure that there was no error in the operation of the surface code and that the database was basically normal.

But that's just the first step in checking.

Shaffley opened the drawer and took out a special neural adapter.

This silver-gray neural adapter seems ordinary, but it actually uses the most advanced technology and requires strong mental power to drive. There are only seven in the world.

And he only uses it at this time of the week.

Shaffley pressed the button on the side of the table, and the seat fixed to the wall bounced off. He sat on it, and the restraint belt stretched out immediately, firmly fixing his whole body.

Shaffley was bound by leather goods and could not move at all. He took a deep breath and said, "Let's start."

The butler's robotic arm picks up the neural adapter and puts it on his head.

Concentrate your mental power, firmly protect your own thinking, and keep your consciousness.

The moment the neural adapter is turned on, everything stands still.

The passage of time stops, sound waves prohibit vibration, photons no longer jump, the circle of electrons stops, and electrical signals impact the brain nerves——

The strong stimulation that is enough to make people instantly stupid is buffered by layers of mental power, and when it really touches the level of consciousness, it is already gentle enough.

Both eyes lost their ability to see objects, but the "vision" soon became bright again. That was not what he really saw, but the product of the electrical signal directly acting on the optic nerve.

Like a box being opened, the cube is spread out into a plane, and the six sides each extend infinitely towards the surroundings. The space appears from under Shavory's feet, leading to an endless end.

Shaffley took a few steps forward and wrote a line of code in the air.

The "door" was created and appeared in front of him out of thin air, a layer thinner than paper.

Shaffley pushed it away and stepped inside.

The water flows from the ground to the sky, and the reverse rain curtain is glowing with a faint red, reflecting crystal light, like some kind of precious minerals.

Shaffley stepped on the water, ripples spread layer by layer, the data was disturbed, and finally turned into particle effects, floating and transparent, returning to the water surface.

In the center of this data still water, sat a faint figure.

Shaffley approached step by step, the rising rain wet his legs, but his shoulders and hair were dry.

He doesn't feel cold or wet. He is just a series of signals in this virtual space. The so-called body is completely fitted by pixels.

As he got closer, the figure became slightly clearer, but it was still faint, like a layer whose transparency had been adjusted, drifting outside this world.

Shaffley stood three meters behind it and said softly, "Good day, Cinnabar."

The too short figure finally moved and turned around.

It looked like a little girl about three or four years old, with soft black hair that could reach her shoulders, and a scarlet robe.

The dress was too big for her, with the cuffs and hem hanging down and sweeping into the water.

On her forehead, there is a vertical eye drawn with red cinnabar, which is quietly closed.

——It came earlier than I expected today.

She pursed her lips tightly, but her voice echoed in Shaffley's consciousness, unable to recognize the timbre.

"I'll do a program check for you."

She nodded slightly, still sitting in the air, but her whole body stretched to both sides like taffy.

The head is deformed, the eyes are separated, the neck and shoulders are getting wider and wider, but the pair of glass-like clear eyes are still staring lightly at Shaffley in front of him.

Finally at a certain moment, her whole body was torn apart.

But no blood flowed out, the girl split into two, and became two identical individuals in the form of violating the principle of mass conservation.

Such a strange scene, but Shaffley has long been familiar with it.

The girl in front of her is the core of Cinnabar. She was brought here by her father for the first time when she was 15 years old. It has been nearly ten years since then, during which she has always looked like a three or four-year-old girl and has never changed.

Cinnabar finished backing up the core programs, one of which reached out to Shaffley.

Shaffley took the little hand.

Countless codes flooded into his mind in an instant like a tsunami wave.

Shaffley saw a lot, but he didn't seem to see anything. The only thing that allowed him to focus was the program composed of those boring letters and symbols.

The rain stood still in the air for a moment, but soon, it resumed its reverse flow, bypassing Tsavorite and Cinnabar, pouring into the endless false sky.

The backup is being checked by Tsavorite, and the other Cinnabar still sits in the center of this side of the world.

The sky is black, the surface of the water is black, but in the middle there is a mixture of emptiness and whiteness, which finally melts into a touch of delicate gray.

Boundless sky and ocean surrounded her.

Her red eyes reflected only nothingness, except for endless calculations, all Chensha could do was to communicate with other beacons through the cloud array in the sky, but she didn't like to talk very much.

The Beacon channel is full of gags by Lan Fan and Xing Ye, San Shui and Smoke Jing will interject a few words from time to time, Chen Sha silently watches the screen, and Yue Guang's last message was sent nine years ago.

The prince who came here every week, and his more senior father, were the few humans that Cinnabar could touch.

After an unknown amount of time, suddenly, the tightly closed red pupils on Cinnabar's forehead moved slightly.

She raised her head as if feeling something, and looked at a place farther than the sky through the rising rain curtain.

The statement looked back.

Behind is a large stretch of ashes and ruins. The building has been abandoned for many years, and it has long lost its original shape due to wind, sun and rain.

Chen Ci narrowed his eyes slightly, not letting go of every inch of the corner.

Fu Tianhe beside him noticed his vigilance, turned his head to look, and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"

In the end nothing was found.Chen Ci withdrew his gaze, shook his head, and continued on his way without saying a word.

This is the third day since they came to the abandoned suburb.

In the past three days, they explored everywhere, walking among the abandoned buildings, and found many unexpected things.

Food and drinking water are being consumed, but Fu Tianhe's backpack is getting fuller.

Near the coast, there are many mechanical bodies left by primitive creatures, most of which come from various equipment left over from human cities, but they are good things one by one, and the various parts make Fu Tianhe dismantle them.

The scope of the abandoned suburbs is not particularly large, but they haven't finished it yet.

The reason is very simple. When the sun sets, all the areas on the outer wall of the cinnabar will be shrouded in boundless darkness, making it unsuitable to move forward.

And the sun at noon is too hot, without the protection of the gel layer, ultraviolet rays can easily burn people.

So the two of them can only hurry in the morning and afternoon, and then explore around, the pace of progress is of course slowed down.

Fortunately, there is nothing urgent to do. Traveling, it doesn't matter if you take your time.

The whole journey was full of surprises from the first day, and to be honest, Fu Tianhe was taken aback by his actions on the day of his presentation.

The usually indifferent young man stood on the low wall, looking as if he was about to hit the knife immediately. He faced the sea, pointed at the illusory mirage in the wind and snow, and said that he wanted to go there.

His voice was flat but firm, as if he was just stating a fact.

It was the first time for Fu Tianhe to see Chen Ci like this, he was surprised, but also excited, the heavenly palace was overwhelmed, and he uttered bold words under the full moon, how heroic.

But soon he calmed down.

Jiuyue doesn't know much about moonlight, but Fu Tianhe knows a lot.

The moonlight beacon located on the Greenland Ice and Snow Plateau collapsed 19 years ago. The collapse lasted for more than four months. Only [-] residents survived and migrated to other beacons as refugees.

To this day, no one can explain the real reason for the fall of Moonlight, and the surrounding sea area has become a recognized restricted area due to the gathering of too many primitive creatures.

Over the years, there have been different speculations about the moonlight, and that distant mysterious existence has even become some kind of legend.

Some people say that there are countless gold and silver treasures hidden on it, and resources that are vital to human beings.

Some people say that Moonlight has secretly colluded with primitive creatures long ago and betrayed the human world.

Some people say that the fall of Moonlight is actually a pre-set program. In the near future, other beacons will collapse one after another, and human beings will eventually have nowhere to go.

There are all kinds of sayings, and they are all different. Anyway, Fu Tianhe thinks they are all outrageous.

Now that Jiuyue suddenly mentioned it, Fu Tianhe tried his best to tell him everything he knew.

Fu Tianhe specifically emphasized how dangerous Yueguang's current situation is, hoping to dispel the unrealistic idea of ​​​​a young man.

If you want to get from Cinnabar to Moonlight, the only way is to take an aircraft, and the wind and snow are raging on the Greenland ice and snow plateau. It is estimated that it is difficult to find a landing place, let alone there is no official flight route at all. They have to have their own aircraft. .

As for going there by boat, it is even more impossible. The primitive creatures in the ocean are enough to kill them ten thousand times.

But Chen Ci just nodded to show that I understand. From those eyes, Fu Tianhe understood that he was still firm.

Fu Tianhe couldn't persuade him for the time being, so he could only search for more news about Moonlight on the Internet as much as possible.

Fortunately, he didn't mention it again after September, which made him feel relieved slowly.

Maybe it was just a whim?It won't be long before September forgets about it.

The sun was about to set, and the sun shrouded the coast. With the last rays of light, they took the time to find a suitable place to camp.

The tide kept ringing non-stop. Resting near the sea was definitely not a good idea. The two moved inward for another three miles, and stopped only when they were sure they could not hear the sound of the waves.

Fu Tianhe took off his backpack and started camping.

Chen Ci stood beside him, and just about to lend a hand to help, the feeling of being watched appeared again.

He quickly turned his head to look, and there were ruins everywhere, showing a warm color under the last rays of the sun.

Still nothing.

Even the mental power spreading towards the distance couldn't find anything unusual.

But the statement is very firm, it is not an illusion.
