Chapter 52 : No more staying late
No more staying late (Chapter 52)
The working hours at the research institute are extremely consistent—every day begins with waking up at five in the morning.
After tidying up and having breakfast, one has to reach the workplace before six to prepare for the day.
A new day begins!
Unfortunately, the newly-appointed Ye Sheng wasn’t feeling very enthusiastic.

Last night, she tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep. In the end, she forced herself to close her eyes, but it barely helped—if anything, it only made her miss her little one even more.
Thus, with her eyes closed, she endured until daybreak—she’d suffered from insomnia.

It was surprising!
After all, in the dangerous wilderness before, she could fall asleep in seconds.
But now, in the safety of the research institute, she found herself unable to sleep.
Perhaps it was because her little one wasn’t by her side…

To avoid feeling drowsy after staying up all night and then oversleeping, Ye Sheng decided to just get up, wash up, and get ready.
She went to the cafeteria for breakfast.
Unfortunately, the side effects of staying up late were obvious, and among them, the loss of appetite made even eating feel unappealing to Ye Sheng.
How annoying! She vowed never to stay up late again.

“B30, B30...”
Using her work ID to swipe the card, the elevator quickly stopped on the 30th basement level. As the elevator doors closed behind her, Ye Sheng walked down the corridor.
The place was eerily quiet. Black-painted walls combined with strange paintings hanging along them created an unsettling atmosphere, leaving a chill of fear in her heart.
The abstract paintings didn’t awaken Ye Sheng’s sense of aesthetics; instead, she thought the crooked mouths and slanted eyes of the figures in the paintings resembled monsters.
Maybe her aesthetic taste couldn’t keep up with the trends of art!
Shrinking into herself, Ye Sheng nervously hugged her arms and braved her way to the door, trembling slightly.

“Knock, knock.”
She raised her hand and knocked lightly. Since no one had briefed her on how to interact with Sen Lan, she decided to everything with caution.
When she had passed through the corridor earlier, Ye Sheng deliberately glanced at the floor plan displayed on the wall. This massive 30th basement floor was inhabited by only one person: Senlan.
The entire area had been remodeled specifically for his activities.
From this, it was evident how much importance the institute placed on Sen Lan, making Ye Sheng even more cautious.
If possible, she’d rather not have to interact with someone so significant—who knows what unexpected events might happen? Oh no, she shouldn’t jinx herself before even meeting the person!

“Come in.”

Just as Ye Sheng lowered her hand after knocking, a voice immediately responded from within the room.
Perhaps it was because the door separated them, but to Ye Sheng’s ears, the voice carried an ethereal, almost otherworldly quality.
A beautiful, deep male voice.
When Ye Sheng pushed the door open and stepped inside, seeing Sen Lan in person confirmed that his voice was as good as his looks.

He had short, lake-blue hair and crystal-clear blue eyes that resembled the boundless ocean.
His slender frame was draped in a loose white robe, resembling an ancient Greek deity in a painting.
When his gaze fell on her, it felt exceptionally calm and posed no sense of threat.
“Hello, I’m Ye Sheng, a temporary assistant for three days. I’m responsible for observing the changes in your physical data. Please take care of me,” she introduced herself politely, unaffected by his charm.

Although Sen Lan was indeed handsome, Ye Sheng wasn’t easily swayed—after all, her little little at home could outshine anyone.
With practiced ease, she courteously introduced herself.
En̂ǔm̌ а́ .і̃ď
Sen Lan’s demeanor was warm and friendly. He smiled at Ye Sheng and said, “No need to be so formal; just call me Sen Lan.”
Ye Sheng’s first impression of Senlan was a good one.
At the same time, she gained further insights into the transformation potion used in the base.
As a user of the transformation serum, Sen Lan currently appeared to be in good condition.
Physically, there were no signs of abnormal changes, nor had his mind become twisted or disturbed. His disposition was calm and gentle. As for any special abilities that might have emerged, she hadn’t yet had the opportunity to witness them.
The transformation potion seemed to be effective—Ye Sheng kept this in mind as she began her work.

Although the job was supposed to involve monitoring all of Sen Lan's data fluctuations, in practice, it was hardly different from being a hired personal assistant.
In fact, it was even more leisurely.
Senlan wasn’t the kind of person who avoided manual work; on the contrary, he would pour tea for Ye Sheng, share little cakes, and tell amusing stories. Sitting on the sofa, sipping tea and enjoying desserts, Ye Sheng felt utterly relaxed and at ease.
So this was the sweetness of having connections?
She didn’t feel like a working professional at all; it was more like getting paid to enjoy life!
A very relaxing morning passed. Since Sen Lan couldn’t leave the 30th basement floor, Ye Sheng bid him goodbye and headed to the cafeteria. This time, she arrived during peak lunch hours, and a long line had formed for meals.

“Sheng Sheng, over here! I’ve already gotten food for you!”
As Ye Sheng hesitated, debating whether to join the lengthy queue, Su Su’s angelic voice called out.

Ye Sheng hurried over to find Su Su waiting at a table—not alone, though. A few unfamiliar faces were also there, casting scrutinizing gazes at Ye Sheng, as if evaluating her worth.
Ye Sheng, however, remained composed. She smiled faintly at the group and took the seat Su Su had reserved for her.
“Was your observation target hard to deal with? Why are you so late getting off work?”
Su Su seemed oblivious to the others, flitting around Ye Sheng like a little bee. Her eagerness, evident as she handed over chopsticks and acted like she wanted to stick to Ye Sheng, drew puzzled expressions from the people nearby.

The Su family had a significant background. For Su Su to fawn over someone like this, Ye Sheng must be no ordinary individual.
No wonder she could rub shoulders with someone like Fu Ruo.
In the span of a few seconds, the others had re-evaluated their judgments and swiftly replaced their assessing stares with friendly expressions.
Ye Sheng maintained a neutral expression, but inwardly she felt a buzzing anxiety. Were people in the inner city always so quick to change their attitudes?

Meanwhile, Su Su’s eagerness wasn’t purely for Ye Sheng’s sake. She wanted to gather information about Sen Lan—not only to satisfy her curiosity but also to collect valuable intelligence for her family. Who knew when such details might come in handy?
Ye Sheng smiled at Su Su and made a hand gesture, signaling her to speak later in private.
Еn̂ ŭm̄å
Su Su immediately nodded in understanding.
Originally, Su Su had waited alone for Ye Sheng. However, a few acquaintances had run into her and stuck around like glue. Though Su Su couldn’t openly chase them off, their presence was now making her feel tied down—how annoying!
“Su Su, who’s this? Aren’t you going to introduce us?”
Just as Su Su was mentally cursing them, one of the others seized the opportunity to request an introduction.
“Hmm... Sheng Sheng, this is Wang Lan, Xu Ning, and Zhou Qian. We all went to the same school. This is Ye Sheng, a new friend I just met.”
When Su Su introduced the group, she deliberately emphasized “went to the same school,” clearly signaling she wasn’t particularly close to them.

For Su Su’s somewhat uncooperative attitude, the others didn’t seem upset. Instead, they smiled and greeted Ye Sheng warmly. After the introductions, everyone began their lunch.
“We’re all working on the 13th basement floor, responsible for data collection for the third batch of transformation potion test subjects. Ye Sheng, you’re monitoring Sen Lan, right? What’s he like? Easy to get along with?”
“Yeah, Ye Sheng, you’re so lucky! You know, working with Sen Lan is a highly sought-after position!”
“And Su Su’s job is pretty nice too—she just needs to check for missing lab equipment and replace it in time.”
Among the three, Wang Lan was the most talkative.
She had a more mature appearance and looked decent, but after encountering several stunning espers in quick succession—not to mention the unparalleled beauty of her “little one”—Ye Sheng felt utterly unmoved when Wang Lan threw her a coquettish glance.
Е̊ n̄ um̄ а . і̇d̄
In fact, she found it amusing.
Ever since arriving in this wasteland world, Ye Sheng felt as if she’d awakened some sort of “queen bee” aura.

Women always seemed to take the initiative with her.

“Sen Lan is a very kind person, very friendly. But since I’ve only just started working with him this morning, we haven’t talked much, so…”
Ye Sheng continued to maintain a polite and superficial rapport with Wang Lan and her group. She wanted to gather more information about the transformation serum. While her current role observing Sen Lan seemed relaxed, it wasn’t an entirely good thing.

After all, her purpose here wasn’t just for the paycheck.
She also wanted to learn about the transformation potion.
Previously, Ye Sheng hadn’t known that the base’s transformation potions had different tiers. Back then, she had been considering whether she might be able to inject it in the future. Now that she knew, she needed to dig deeper.
After all, according to her little companion, the base’s future was precarious.

Time was running out for her to grow stronger.
“I didn’t expect Sen Lan to be so approachable. Ye Sheng, I heard from my supervisor that this afternoon, Sen Lan could have conversation with polluted creatures. I’m so jealous that you’ll get to witness it firsthand!”
Ën̆ û m а́
Wang Lan’s comment seemed both a casual remark and a deliberate hint.
Up until now, the group had been projecting friendliness. As for their underlying intentions? No need to guess—they simply wanted more information about Sen Lan.
Ye Sheng, however, was genuinely intrigued by the idea. She also wanted to see it for herself.
What might the voice of a polluted lifeform sound like?
With that curiosity in mind, Ye Sheng skipped returning to her dorm after lunch. Instead, she went straight to the 30th basement floor, her heart racing slightly with excitement as she made her way down the corridor to the door.
When she arrived, she noticed the door wasn’t fully closed, and faint voices drifted from within.

“Chen Yuan, I strongly advise against launching an attack today. The research institute’s cage is not so easily broken.”
It was Sen Lan’s voice.
