It should be noted that jade in this era neither contained any energy nor was it extremely rare; only royalty and nobility had the leisure to adorn themselves with jade.
What are you looking at?
The boss suddenly shuddered.
Not daring to look any longer, he lowered his head and stared at the floor, leading the two to the top floor.
The top floor and the bottom floor have two different styles. A crystal chandelier illuminates the entire room, and a flower is even used for decoration—which is one of the most precious materials on a garbage planet.
Before the boss could even breathe a sigh of relief as the menacing figure entered the room, an oppressive force followed.
That's a pheromone that only the highest-level aplha releases.
It is also an absolute pressure.
Under the interference of these pheromones, the boss couldn't even straighten up.
Just as he was about to kneel down in front of the two, the pheromones suddenly disappeared.
He furtively raised his head and glanced at their city lord.
Gu Yunzhou was looking at Ji Zhaoming.
He suppressed all his pheromones, afraid of startling the people around him.
With a creak, the door closed.
The boss collapsed to the ground with a thud, only then realizing that his back was covered in sweat.
In his mind, he heard the words Gu Yunzhou had said before closing the door.
"Pay attention to what you can see and what you shouldn't see."

Chapter 32
What are you hiding from?
Ji Zhaoming had no way of knowing about the bloody conflict between the two.
Once inside, Ji Zhaoming looked away, trying to avoid being blinded by the overly bright lights.
It was really difficult for him to adapt to this desolate place after just emerging from a barren, garbage planet.
Gu Yunzhou had a set of clothes brought up.
After adjusting the heating to a comfortable temperature, Gu Yunzhou asked, "Do you want to change your clothes?"
Ji Zhaoming smiled: "Do I still have the right to refuse?"
This person may seem easygoing, but deep down he is a man of his word. It's only when dealing with Ji Zhaoming that Gu Yunzhou's attitude softens a bit.
Gu Yunzhou pursed his lips and remained silent for a moment before replying, "Yes."
There were a few chairs in the bedroom. Gu Yunzhou gave the most comfortable chair to Ji Zhaoming and moved a small stool over to sit on.
The tall and strong Gu Yunzhou was curled up on the small stool, looking quite awkward.
Ji Zhaoming knew nothing about Gu Yunzhou's glorious history; all his knowledge of him was limited to "amnesia, city lord, and seemingly a very scary person."
"So easy to talk to, be careful, the position of city lord may not be easy to hold." Facing Gu Yunzhou like this, Ji Zhaoming actually relaxed a bit and lay down on the chair like Gu Yunzhou.
"..." Gu Yunzhou said, "Only you."
He paused for a moment, afraid that Ji Zhaoming wouldn't believe him, and then added, "The position of city lord can also be given to you."
Ji Zhaoming asked with a smile why he wanted the position of city lord.
Gu Yunzhou was not discouraged and said, "Then you are my city lord."
A city lord who belongs to him alone, doesn't seem so bad?
Gu Yunzhou said, "Master."
Ji Zhaoming was stunned.
The person in front of me was backlit, sitting on a pitifully small chair, head bowed, looking incredibly docile.
He looks exactly like Gu Yunzhou from the previous world.
Even though their appearances are different, their speech and actions are the same as Gu Yunzhou's; it's a quirk that Gu Yunzhou can't change even if he tries.
Who exactly is he?
What exactly are these strange missions?
And, if this person really is Gu Yunzhou, then in his world, will he be able to reunite with Gu Yunzhou and the robots he didn't have time to say goodbye to?
System: [Please rest assured, host, the previous world has been frozen. You can return at any time after completing the mission.]
freeze?
This term is used very strangely. In other words, isn't it just a game save file?
But in the real world, there's no such thing as saving your progress. What makes us feel most powerless is the passage of time, which is beyond human control.
Many people can only watch time slip away before their eyes, helpless to stop it.
What are these worlds really like?
Realizing he had let something slip, the system stopped appearing. Ji Zhaoming closed his eyes and quietly pondered.
However, this leisure time did not last long, and Ji Zhaoming soon saw himself in the mirror.
They were filthy, even their hands were covered in dust, and from head to toe, probably only their eyes were presentable.
How long has he been looking like this?
They had been running all along and hadn't had time to think about anything else, but once they were in a comfortable environment, Ji Zhaoming wrinkled his nose.
Gu Yunzhou took the initiative to prepare the hot water.
Soaking in the hot bath made Ji Zhaoming completely relax, with half of his head submerged in the bubbling water.
He hadn't run such strenuous exercise in a long time. Halfway through, he started to feel sleepy and drifted into a hazy, half-asleep state.
"Owner?"
Someone outside was calling him. Ji Zhaoming's brain was already in a state of disarray. Hearing this address, he thought he was in the previous world.
No matter what happens, Gu Yunzhou will protect him.
Too tired to even lift a finger, Ji Zhaoming remained silent.
Seemingly noticing that the person inside hadn't spoken yet, the person outside called out again, "Master?"
Ji Zhaoming then hummed in response.
He forgot he was still in the water, choked on some water, and jumped up, splashing water everywhere.
The person standing outside the door lost patience and pushed the door open with a whoosh. Seeing Ji Zhaoming, soaking wet, climbing out of the bathtub, there was a hint of helplessness in their eyes.
Ji Zhaoming completely forgot that he was taking a shower and didn't even have time to grab a towel.
There's nothing wrong with two men being completely honest with each other, but Ji Zhaoming always felt inexplicably shy around Gu Yunzhou.
A blast of cold air drifted into the bathroom from outside, making Ji Zhaoming shiver.
Gu Yunzhou closed the door behind him.
Now, the mist drifted outside, and Gu Yunzhou could clearly see what Ji Zhaoming looked like.
His upper body was bare. A drop of water ran down his hair, past his collarbone, and finally traced an arc on his crimson skin before dripping into the water with a soft sound.
Gu Yunzhou's ears twitched.
A rich aroma filled the air, becoming increasingly pronounced as the temperature rose.
Gu Yunzhou unconsciously took a few steps forward: "You really smell so good and taste so sweet."
He drew closer and closer, until he was only one step away from Ji Zhaoming.
Ji Zhaoming was naked and had to huddle in the pool. Smoke swirled around him, and water from his bangs fell into his eyes. He rubbed his eyes and asked timidly, "What's that smell?"
He should have already washed himself clean.
Gu Yunzhou bent down.
His breath was naked against Ji Zhaoming's neck, constantly pounding against his heart.
In particular, large areas of Ji Zhaoming's skin were exposed.
"What smell do I have left?" Ji Zhaoming complained.
Then, he paused.
As a small, weak animal, it can always sense the first danger through its intuition.
He quickly looked up and saw the deep blackness in Gu Yunzhou's eyes, and Wuming felt afraid.
He could vaguely smell the fragrance that Gu Yunzhou had mentioned.
But it wasn't as fragrant as Gu Yunzhou had described. Instead, it had a slightly pungent, spicy smell that was both irritating and pleasant. For some reason, Ji Zhaoming even associated the scent with Gu Yunzhou.
That's the feeling it gives people too.
However, looking into Gu Yunzhou's eyes, Ji Zhaoming felt that he had nowhere to escape.
He flinched, when suddenly a hand reached out from the side.
Ji Zhaoming almost fell back into the bathtub.
However, those hands were merely holding onto Ji Zhaoming to prevent him from falling.
At the same time, she stretched out her other hand and handed over the clothes: "You forgot to change your clothes."
"Thank you." Ji Zhaoming pointed to the side. "You can put it there."
Gu Yunzhou stood still.
The two of them were occupying a dangerous spot, and Ji Zhaoming, enraged, shouted, "What are you doing?"
Gu Yunzhou blinked: "I'm smelling your scent."
That was too blunt! Ji Zhaoming stormed out of the bathroom.
