Damn it, I'm surrounded by insane Alphas!

When Shi Ran woke up in the rented room, it was already twelve hours later.

He felt as if he had had an incredibly long dream, and his head was throbbing with pain.

The succubus beta in the instance no longer exists; he has reverted to Shiran in the real world.

An ordinary omega with decent looks.

"Sigh... Only I know the sweet and spicy moments I've experienced along the way."

Shi Ran slumped on the sofa, holding the kitten he hadn't seen for almost ten years, feeling as if he had been in another world.

Just then, the phone on the table vibrated; it was a text message indicating an incoming payment.

[Bank XX] Your account has completed a transaction of RMB +2,000,000.00.

Shi Ran looked at that long string of zeros and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The money has finally arrived.

"Two million..."

He muttered to himself, tapping on a notepad on his phone that recorded expenses, and quickly doing mental calculations, "After paying off the previous ICU bill, the rest... will probably only be enough for three months of chemotherapy."

This money was earned by him through nearly ten years of virtual life.

A year ago, his mother was diagnosed with an extremely rare immune system disease. The effective drugs were expensive and most of them had to be paid out of pocket, which quickly emptied their family's coffers.

His father died early, and he could only rely on Shi Ran, who had just graduated from university.

He borrowed every penny he could, maxed out his credit cards, and even mortgaged his old, dilapidated house, but it was still a drop in the bucket.

Just when he was almost in despair, an overseas medical organization contacted him, inviting him to participate in an experiment and promising to pay him a high reward.

His first reaction was that he had encountered a scammer.

Until the other party transferred 500,000 yuan to his card without saying a word, saying it was "earnest money" so that he could solve his immediate difficulties.

That money was used to pay off the loan hole, which prevented the company from completely collapsing.

With no other options, he signed that thick confidentiality agreement.

He was then taken to a highly confidential research center, and when he woke up, he had become a unique "mimicry Beta".

Simply put, he went from being an omega to a beta who cannot be marked, but he can still release the scent of omega pheromones.

And so began his bizarre journey of traversing five dungeons and conquering those incredibly difficult Alphas.

The length of each instance varied, and in total, he spent almost ten years in these five worlds. However, now that he has returned to reality, only five weeks have passed.

They even made a profit of 2.5 million, so it wasn't a loss.

Even now, he still doesn't understand the purpose of this experiment.

Forget it.

None of that matters anymore. Those men who were once his lovers are now just NPCs sleeping in a dungeon.

He only cared about one thing: there was now hope for his mother's illness.

Hey.

My phone suddenly vibrated; a message came from a name that had become so distant it was almost unfamiliar.

[Shi Ran, you're going back to work tomorrow, right?]

This is Pei Yang, his best friend from university. After graduation, they both interviewed and got into Huanyu Group. Although they weren't in the same department, they were lucky enough.

Shi Ran looked at the messages on the screen and couldn't help but groan.

work?

What a niche vocabulary! After being kept in the cage of those ancestors for so many years, now I have to go back to writing PowerPoint presentations...

It's still better to marry a rich man.

It's just a pity that those wealthy people probably hate him now.

Because in each instance, he always leaves gracefully when the male protagonist loves him the most.

He couldn't help but wonder what would happen if those characters from the dungeon appeared in front of him again...

No, no, no, absolutely not.

The resentment of the five male protagonists is comparable to that of the Evil Sword Immortal.

If they both show up, he definitely won't survive the night.

He rested at home for half a day, and at eight o'clock the next morning, he appeared in the company lobby on time.

He stared at the company logo in the lobby and muttered, "Universal...was this the company's old name?"

It's been so long, I've even forgotten what his company was called.

But how come he remembered that in his first story, the male protagonist had a company called Huanyu? What a coincidence...

As he was thinking, he suddenly realized that he seemed to have unknowingly caused a huge disaster.

Because at this moment, everyone around him was dressed in black suits and white shirts, except for him... who was wearing a very eye-catching and outrageous SpongeBob yellow hoodie.

"Shi Ran, what are you thinking about!"

As he was thinking, Pei Yang pulled him to the back row.

Pei Yang hadn't changed much; his curly hair and chubby, white body made him look like a little figurine. Now, the little figurine looked at Shi Ran with a utterly bewildered expression, "What are you wearing? HR sent two emails emphasizing that formal attire is required!"

Emails... I can't even remember my QQ number and password, so what's the point of checking emails?

"Are you alright? What big thing happened today that warranted such a large commotion?"

"They say they parachuted in a new president, the one who recently saved our company from the brink of collapse."

"A new CEO parachuted in?" Shi Ran smiled and reassured Pei Yang, "Then it's even better. When the big boss arrives, I'll just make a quick trip to the bathroom, and no one will notice."

As soon as Shi Ran finished speaking, the hall suddenly fell silent.

Footsteps came from the direction of the gate, and the crowd automatically parted to make way.

Pei Yang curiously stood on tiptoe, but Shi Ran was not very interested, after all, he had seen the most domineering CEOs in the past few years.

He can collect them all: gentle and affectionate, gloomy and obsessive, aloof and distant, and married men.

He glanced over unintentionally and saw several senior executives escorting a tall, well-built man as he walked over.

The man wore a perfectly tailored dark gray suit, and every step he took was as precise as if it had been measured.

Although she couldn't see the person's face clearly, she frowned and suddenly felt a slight itch in her glands, as if she sensed a familiar scent and became restless.

How could that be...?

The inhibitors on the market now are quite mature and can almost completely block Alpha pheromones. Otherwise, how would these little omegas have the opportunity to go out and work?

Why did it suddenly react?

Just as he looked up, the CEO passed by, a faint, cool scent of cedar drifting past.

My breath hitched for a moment.

I rely on! ! !

How come this CEO looks exactly like the male lead from his first story?

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

Shi Ran subconsciously hid behind Pei Yang; it must be a coincidence!

Moreover, the CEO walked right past him without even glancing at him, and even though he was dressed so conspicuously, the CEO didn't recognize him.

He is definitely not the Gu Chen from the original story.

"Now, please let Mr. Gu say a few words to everyone."

The HR director's voice echoed throughout the lobby through the microphone.

Gu Chen stood on the makeshift stage, his voice deep and resonant: "Thank you for your welcome."

Shi Ran quietly observed the people on stage, and every detail was exactly as she remembered.

In that world, Gu Chen was the same way, always calm and composed, always in control, except for one time when he lost his composure.

That was the day Shi Ran left the instance.

It was a wedding of the century.

The church was packed with guests, all eagerly anticipating the wedding, but Shi Ran slipped away just before it began.

He left only a note: "Gu Chen, I've had my fun, time to move on."

At that moment, a system notification sounded in Shi Ran's ears: "Mission complete, about to be teleported to the next world."

The last thing Shi Ran saw was Gu Chen's hand, his knuckles white as he held the note, and...

A tear in the corner of Gu Chen's eye.

Would someone like him really cry?

You must have misread it.

"I hope everyone will work together."

Gu Chen's closing remarks brought Shi Ran back to reality.

Applause erupted, and the crowd began to disperse.

Shi Ran breathed a sigh of relief, realizing that it was just a resemblance.

He and Pei Yang turned around and squeezed into the elevator, but they didn't notice Gu Chen's last glance at the crowd before entering the elevator.

The moment the elevator doors closed, Gu Chen spoke up, "Go check on that employee who wasn't wearing a suit earlier."

Assistant Wang Cheng was taken aback: "Mr. Gu, is this a reprimand?"

Gu Chen shook his head impatiently. "Go check first. I need all his information."

Wang Cheng nodded immediately, "Okay."
