Their commission was suspicious.

"Oh, really? But Luo Luo, your bone age is only 17 years old." Alicia said, pinching Chen Luo's arm.

"...Okay, there's a mistake on the ID card."

"Really, is it that simple?" Alicia's tone became even more mysterious.

"real."

"I don't believe you unless you call me Sister Ellie."

"..." Chen Luo, who was cooking in the kitchen, turned his head to look at Alicia, who was causing trouble beside him.

"Hmm, are you sure?"

“Of course I’m sure. After all… Lolo, you don’t want Mei to know that your real age doesn’t match the age on your ID card, right?” Alicia blinked her cute one eye.

“…You can shout, but don’t regret it,” Chen Luo said silently.

"No regrets."

"...Sister Aili, can you please leave now? Don't bother me in the kitchen anymore, thank you," Chen Luo said irritably.

"Okay! Little Lolo," Alicia said cheerfully.

It's clear that Alicia is in a good mood.

Chen Luo turned back for one last look at Alicia's departing figure.

Poor Alicia, she'll never know what kind of Pandora's box her actions have opened. Alicia will ultimately pay a heavy price for her deeds.

Chapter 1146 Eden-chan, I'm your fan!

"Are you the Lolo that Ellie often mentions?" An elegant woman with long, wine-red hair looked at Chen Luo with great interest.

“Yes, hello. Eden-chan, I’m your fan… Ah, that doesn’t seem quite right to say it here. I’ll ask for your autograph when I get back from my trip in a month. Enjoy your meal.” Chen Luo took out the bottle of Deep Space Tears he had carefully prepared and poured it into Eden’s glass.

As mentioned earlier, tonight's dinner consists of only Eden and Ellie.

Chen Luo? He's just a tool for cooking.

However, since the candlelight dinner needed another waiter, and Alicia had made another request...

The bar owner is also a bartender, no problem!

Chen Luo guessed that although he was involved in tonight's banquet, the dinner for the two of them was probably Eden's idea, because if it were up to Alicia's idea, such a ceremony would require a rather large welcome party.

But for Eden, the most important thing was to share his feelings with his dear Ellie first.

"What about mine? What about mine?" After seeing Chen Luo pour wine for Eden but not for herself, Alicia waved her hand.

"Lolo, you're really not doing a good job as a bartender. Were you too shocked after seeing Eden?"

“No, although it does feel a bit like meeting a big star, I have more of a surprise for you, so this bottle of wine belongs to Eden,” Chen Luo said after placing the bottle next to Eden.

"Aren't you curious about what the other bottle of wine I took out is? Wait a minute..." After Chen Luo finished speaking, he slowly disappeared into the candlelight and vanished into the darkness.

"So? He's a very interesting person, isn't he?" Alicia looked at Eden sitting opposite her.

"Hmm, I was indeed a bit curious about the identity of the person who could produce such wine. I didn't expect that he would just be a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy. And the way he looked at me just now, although it was like looking at an idol, was very different from the audience I've seen before." Eden nodded and began to think about how Chen Luo was viewing him.

That look was less like looking at a celebrity and more like looking at a... friend and hero.

Very strange.

But it doesn't make people reject it.

"You'll understand once you spend more time with him. Not only does Luo Luo seem very approachable, but he's also quite easy to get along with. Although he occasionally plays pranks, it doesn't detract from his kind nature. Otherwise, he wouldn't have specifically chosen Hua as his personal assistant."

Alicia was quite satisfied that Chen Luo was able to maintain his composure in front of Eden.

At least it didn't happen like I imagined—she pounced on him, hugged his leg, and shouted, "Eden-chan, I'm your fan!"

Chen Luo returned shortly afterward.

In Chen Luo's hand, he held another bottle of wine, a... pink bottle of wine.

When Alicia saw the bottle of wine, her eyes lit up, and even Eden couldn't help but glance at it sideways.

What are the ingredients of this pink liquor?

Regardless of whether this wine tastes good or not, it's a decent gift for Alicia. At least its dreamy and gorgeous pink color is a perfect match for her.

"Want a drink?" Chen Luo asked, holding up the glass.

“I want to drink it.” Alicia nodded decisively.

"So how much money do you have on you right now?"

"Sigh, money? I think it's only 352? The rest will be used to buy raw materials for Aponia," Alicia replied after thinking for a moment.

"That's good! Let me introduce it. This bottle of wine is called 'True Self,' and it was specially prepared for you."

"A good name, and it's also very pretty."

"But... Eden's bottle of Deep Space Tears was given away for free with this dinner, but this bottle of wine costs money. Honesty, 353."

"..."

Alicia gave Chen Luo a disgruntled look.

You're pushing the limits, right?

"What a swindler!"

"Of course, if you really want to drink this wine but don't have enough money, kind-hearted Luo can make an exception. Just call me Brother Luo Luo and I can help you pay one yuan off," Chen Luo said generously.

Therefore, you never know what kind of Pandora's box you've opened.

"Gu..."

“My dear Eden…” Alicia looked at Eden for help.

“Ellie, there’s nothing I can do about this. After all, I don’t usually carry money with me when I go out. I do have a fairly valuable gem, but I feel like this Lolo isn’t interested in money,” Eden said with a helpless smile.

Even if a bottle of red wine is inexpensive, its delicate and dreamy pink color alone is enough to make it worth tens of thousands.

Besides, Eden had drunk many fine wines, but no matter how delicious the wine was, none suited his taste as well as the cup of Deep Space Tears beside him.

If Chen Luo were greedy for money, he could have easily secured a worry-free life with just this one bottle of wine.

"Alright, Brother Lolo, you win, considering the color of this wine and its name."

"Congratulations, little sister Alicia. Next, I will open this one-of-a-kind bottle of fine wine." Chen Luo nodded in satisfaction, then uncorked the bottle and slowly poured the dreamlike wine into Alicia's glass.

This gift is worth 5 raw stones. Chen Luo wouldn't have been willing to give it away for free to anyone else.

"Well then, I wish you both a pleasant meal. I'll go find Aponia in the deepest depths now." Chen Luo bowed slightly and then left Alicia's dormitory.

"Don't worry, I'll come see you tomorrow."

After watching Chen Luo's figure disappear, Alicia stared at the pink wine, paused for a moment, and then raised her glass towards Eden.

Next up was some time alone with the beautiful girl.

After leaving Alicia's dormitory, Chen Luo headed towards his own dormitory.

As the sun began to set, Chen Luo quickened his pace.

When Chen Luo returned to his dormitory, he saw the person he expected—Vilvie, who was holding a small package.

Vervi truly meant what she said; she genuinely intended to go to the deepest depths with Chen Luo.

While others were terrified of the Deepest Abyss, Vilvi felt nothing special about it, since she herself had designed and built it.

Given Vilvi's personality, she must have left a back door in this supposedly inescapable place.

Just like there's a backdoor to Vilvie even in the Void Treasury.

……

"Alright, Hua, that's enough for now. You'll be on your own for the next month. If you can, make some friends. If you find this task too difficult, try to visit Cang Xuan and Dan Zhu occasionally. They're quite good at comedy." Chen Luo said his final farewell to Hua.

"Come on, come on, stop dawdling. Let me, the designer, show you around the most perfect place in the deepest depths. This is a prison from which no one can escape."

Compared to the other prisoners about to enter the deepest part, Velvi's behavior was quite unusual.

Unusual excitement

"What are you so excited about? You're the one who's going to be locked up, not the one showing me around."

"Not much difference. Oh, by the way, it's worth mentioning that perhaps when this Deepest Place was first designed, the higher-ups had the idea of ​​using it for something, so the prisoners inside have a considerable degree of freedom. It's like... a jar that holds countless poisonous insects."

"Who knows, we might get a warm welcome once we go in, so take this bomb." Wilvi handed Chen Luo a small toy that looked like a ceremonial cannon.

A mere fence could not possibly hold back the prisoners in the deepest place, a fact that Vervier, as the designer of the deepest place, was certainly well aware of.

"No need. If I'm not mistaken, there should be someone waiting for us at the entrance from the deepest part," Chen Luo said.

"Hmm? You have such powerful connections even in the deepest depths?" Velvi asked, somewhat surprised.

Seeing Chen Luo's confident expression, Verri began to ponder: Who was imprisoned in the deepest recesses?

Chen Luo's confidence suggests that the person in question must be able to thrive in the most intricate circles.

Such people are rare.

“Oh, I remember now, it’s Thousand Calamities, right? I’ve heard that the Abyss holds an ordinary person who can fight Sakura, a Fusion Warrior, to a standstill. Sigh, the Abyss simply doesn’t have the capacity to hold someone like that. After all… that person is probably capable of killing a Herrscher. Perhaps, the Herrscher of Ice, was killed by him.” Velvi’s tone was somewhat strange.

Velvet is currently researching the Herrscher Core of the Fifth Herrscher and turning it into a weapon.

Now that she has studied the core of the Herrscher, Velvet naturally wants to understand how Herrschers came to be, and... how they died.

In the previous civilization, the Herrscher of Ice had the weakest presence because she was gone before she even appeared.

Encountering a thousand calamities at the start is the greatest misfortune of this Herrscher of Ice's life.

Especially later, when Velvi was studying the Herrscher of Ice's report, she wrote a rather strange note on it.

[The sanatorium located on Twilight Street. When Qianjie was first found, he had severe frostbite.]

"hiss……"

Velvet suspected that Thousand Calamities might be an even more valuable research subject than a Herrscher, but Velvet's research focus was not on the human body, so she wasn't interested.

As for whether the deepest places can imprison the law enforcers?

Sorry, I didn't think of it that way at first.

Trying to trap a god with human power is really putting Vilvie in a difficult position.

The deepest part is indeed a prison from which escape is impossible, but that doesn't mean a direct confrontation is impossible.

All fear stems from insufficient firepower.

"Perhaps you've misunderstood. Sometimes, for those prisoners in the Deepest Place, certain forms of control are far more terrifying than physical subjugation." As the gates to the Deepest Place slowly opened, Chen Luo and Vervi stepped into the darkness.

On the other side, someone was already waiting there.

"Aponia, long time no see. Have you adapted to the Deeper Realm these past few days?"

Upon hearing that name, Vilvi suddenly realized who it was.

That fusion warrior who can control people's minds.

At the time, the criminal Aponia, who was suspected of trying to trigger the Honkai, was ultimately dealt with by undergoing a fusion surgery and then simply died.

However, this person actually survived the fusion surgery, which has an extremely high mortality rate and a very low success rate.

The surgeon in charge at the time was the fusion surgery specialist sitting next to him.

After Aponia became a Fusion Warrior, the Firemoth lost its ability to imprison her.

"I heard you can control people, so why don't you try imposing some so-called discipline on me?" Velvi interrupted rather inappropriately.

"If you really want to try, wait until you become a fusion warrior. Don't try it now, okay? Don't mess things up and kill yourself," Chen Luo said helplessly from the side.

“Okay…” Wilvi thought for a moment and then nodded.

“I’m sorry, I won’t impose rules on innocent people without my consent.” Aponia shook her head.

"Starting today, I'm asking you to take care of me for a month. Aponia, I'm your fan!" Chen Luo immediately pounced on Aponia's leg and hugged her leg.

After a helpless sigh, Aponia looked at Velvi.

"Let's go, I'll take you two to the two cells that have already been prepared."

"No need, just prepare one, preferably a larger one. Let me think, the largest one should be number 3, right?"
