The restaurant was dimly lit with warm orange light. The musician was playing the piano on the stage, and the melodious sound from the elegant fingers pressing against the keys flowed in the hall. This restaurant attaches great importance to the privacy of guests and is famous in Black City for being exclusively run by a top player in the A-zone. Each table is separated by a green wall and a solid wood wine rack.

Chao Bin cut up the delicate matcha custard cake on the plate, forked a piece, and put it in his mouth. The fragrance of matcha custard blended with the softness of the cake, and it melted in his mouth. He couldn't help but squint happily, looking at the hand of the man in front of him. Who in direct contrast to him was cutting a juicy steak. Those hands were fair and slender, with perfect shapes, and when they held the knife and fork, they were even more pleasing to the eye. After the last instance, Tang Shun had quickly found it and gave him a prop to help wash away the negative effects of the curse that was placed on his body.

Chao Bin supported his chin with one hand, licked the cream on his fork, and then forked another piece of cake and put it in his mouth. This meal was a far cry from the mush they had eaten for thirty days in the Institute. Tang Shun lifted his head and glanced at the boy in front of him, the amber eyes were defused with a happy glow, unlike the agonized and painful look when he found him hunched over in front of the screen, suppressing painful screams.

He didn't know when but Chao Bin had been targeted with a curse, a particularly vicious one that would rapidly drain most of the host's soul and essentially allow the user to gain twice the strength and luck for a brief moment. The feeling of someone's soul tearing was equivalent to thousands of cuts being slowly sliced into the skin. 

Before he could trace the source, the copy had ended but It didn't matter he would slowly find him in any case. He glanced at his watch, the invitation had been sent out and he had established contact.

They would meet again on the day of the auction.

*****

In another restaurant, there was a faint knock on the door. In the VIP box at the back of the room, a small window for delivering wine was opened, revealing two slender and beautiful hands wearing white fingerless gloves. The fingers crossed each other leisurely, and on the thumb of the right hand was a white square ring with a rose flower engraved on it. 

Just looking at those two hands, you can already imagine a graceful gentleman, with two long legs crossed. Relaxed and Content.

The waiter outsider got some sort of signal, opened the door, and walked in. Tapping on the partition before him.

Seeing that the person opposite him didn't respond, the waiter tapped the window with his hand again, a silent urging. As if getting some sort of signal, slowly a clear film was pushed over and appeared in the man's field of vision. The man on the other side examined the photo with interest.

Almost immediately, the glaring bright red eyes from the man in the photo made his crossed hands stagnate for a moment, and then he laughed with interest. "Is It him?"

The waiter nodded surreptitiously,

The man on the other revealed a strange bloody grin, "He seems very....delicious."

The waiter inexplicably shuddered, feeling a type of pity for the man in the photo.

Although he behaves and talks like a lunatic, his appearance except for the ghost face mask was too neat and clean, it can even be called elegant, but only a beast lives in this beautiful skin. 

The man pulled back the photo and in one a dark red bloody Mary suddenly appeared. The crimson red liquid sloshed faintly inside the transparent glass, contrasting sharply against the cold white gloves the man wore. He took a sip, the burning sting traveling down his throat to his stomach. The arc on his lips grew wider and from the dark box, the voice appeared again.

"Call my trash of a younger brother here."

The waiter nodded and turned away, unable to see that from behind him, in the cup of wine, a strange red flower had bloomed.

******

Chu Yi felt that his body was too tightly wound. Since clearing the instance, he had been stuck in a perpetual state of heightened vigilance and excitement to the point where even in his sleep, his mind would still be replaying the scenes of the Institute back to him. This was a problem he had overlooked, days of high stress had inevitably taken their toll on him. Unless he found a way to calm his nerves, the next instance would become very difficult.

He needed to relax.

After a few nights of restless sleep, he finally remembered the pamphlet that he had gotten on his first day in Black City. It listed all the services offered by the system to players. Although it took him an hour of rummaging before he eventually found it, discarded at the bottom of his bed.

The services listed there ranged from training centers to massage parlors.

After a quick scan, he found what he was looking for.

Rose Castle. 

A Suana.

Since he decided so something, he didn't delay any further. Grabbing a black mask and a pair of glasses, Chu Yi walked out. Entirely without the consciousness of being a man with a bounty on his head. What he found, was a large building situated a few streets across from him. From the outside, the Rose Castle looked like a majestic building complex, but from the inside, it was a huge high-tech city that is connected. It was surrounded by numerous rose bushes whereby it got its name.

The entire building was devoid of human life, however, it wasn't empty. The multiple flashing screens and robots moving around the building showed that this entire place was being run autonomously.

There didn't seem to be anyone other than him here, and after confirming the transfer of world coins, Chu Yi was directed to a large screen to choose his assistant. From cute to charming, anything that the customer could desire was displayed on the screen. However, only one robot caught his attention.

The robot's temperament on the screen seemed gloomy, its expression was indifferent, with an extremely strong sense of abstinence. Covered a little by the long black hair, there was a raised Adam's apple in the middle, and the shape perfectly sit against the fair background, like the forbidden fruit created by God in the Garden of Eden.

——It seems that people were born to be bitten greedily and slowly.

Chu Yi's eyes flashed with interest and he slowly clicked onto the robot's page to confirm. The screen seemed to pause before another prompt came up, 

[Are you sure about Robot: 880 as your assistant?]

Chu Yi grinned wickedly, "Yes."

The screen then flashed twice before directing Chu Yi to the elevator on the side of the building.

When he was riding up the glass elevator, he looked to the back of the building. In the afterglow of the sunset, the back garden was shrouded in a layer of light mist. It could only be seen vaguely, that there seems to be a fountain hidden deep in the rose bushes.

He was directed to the sauna by a flashing green sign in the empty corridor.

Inside was his assistant. When he entered, the robot bowed deeply at him, "Good day, sir. I am your personal assistant Ruezhen. I will be here to serve you to the best of my abilities" Nevertheless, the indifferent expression on its face did not drop.

Chu Yi nodded lazily and looked past him, 

The bath was huge and the steam billowed out in the thick white mist. Springwater was continuously being poured into the bath from the large stone carvings on the side. There are countless exquisite reliefs on the walls of the pool, and the top was a colorful stained glass.

A faint light entered through the glass dome, and the dense steam filled the air with a dreamy and blurred effect. It reminded Chu Yi of the holy ponds that were only used for sacred events.

"What a beautiful bath." Sighing softly, he raised his hand to touch the button of his shirt, thought for a while, then suddenly turned his face and smiled at the robot standing behind him. "Sir, do you want to wash together?" 

The young man's voice was hoarse, with a bit of laziness, as if it was just a casual invitation.

His white shirt was soaked through, framing the slender shoulder blades and the slightly sunken waist. When he turned his head to look back, there were still droplets of water dripping down his sharp chin.

Perhaps the steam in the bath was too strong, or perhaps the clothes on his body were wrapped too tightly, the cold robot fell the illusion of being hot. His gloved hands stiffened slightly, and he said coldly, "I'm not allowed to go outside of my duties, Sir.."

"Is that so?" Chu Yi clicked his tongue faintly as if regretting something, "Oh, I was waiting for another type of service. I guess I won't find it here."

The robot Ruezhen felt as if its circuits had short-circuited.

What...what kind of service...

Looking at the young man's soft and beautiful eyebrows, the robot smelled the aroma of roses on the tip of its nose. He was silent for a moment, then said, "...Guest can enjoy the best services within the policies of the hotel ."

Chu Yi stared at him with red eyes, his eyelashes stained with water droplets blinked, and his lips curved slightly.

"Okay, Ruezhen."

The teasing emotion in his heart only got, stronger. As if seeing a tightly wrapped gift package, the only thing he wanted to do was rip it apart and peak at the contents inside.

The softly dragging lilt felt like a feather being brushed against his heart.

On the agate stone table next to the bathtub, there were a few bath towels and various toiletries. Chu Yi walked to the table and sat down, with his back to Ruezhen, raised his hand, and unbuttoned his shirt.

He didn't seem to care too much about whether there were people around him. He peeled off his soaked clothes, revealing his bareback, the pants on him had not been taken off, but he bent down slightly and leaned over to get a basket of rose petals on the table.

The basket is far away, when he stretched the waistline on his back was deeply bent, and the two lumbar dimples at his tailbone were more obvious. As if they were born from nature, allowing people to comfortably hold his waist with both hands, and crush them with heavy thumbs.

He didn't seem to be aware of it himself. He took the basket of petals, hugged it in his arms, and walked over to the steaming water.

Chu Yi poured all the rose petals into the bathtub, took off his pants, shoes, and socks slowly, before stepping into the pool.

The water was hot.

It was so hot that he narrowed his eyes comfortably, and the residual chill in his body dissipated. The sound of hot water pouring into the pool through the stone carvings clattered, and he licked his lips, feeling a little hungry.

However, he didn't know what he was hungry for.

He sank himself into the water, came out, the water pouting from his head, turned, and hooked at the robot.

"Come over."

Ruezhen walked over according to the words.

"Press my shoulders." He leaned against the pool and instructed lazily. 

Ruezhen seemed to freeze for a moment before the program responded, squatted down, and pressed the cold robotic hand onto his shoulder. When he pressed the white shoulder, Chu Yi's back suddenly trembled, and he immediately felt a familiar breath encasing him.

Warm, scorching, rich.

Although it was very little compared to the others, almost as if it had been stripped of him.

But it was there.

He looked back at the robot who was rubbing his shoulders. The robot's movements were stiff as if there was no such instruction in his program, and it was the first time as learned clumsily. The force of pressing and kneading was a little too heavy but this didn't seem deliberate.

Chu Yi's cheeks were already flushed from the steam. He narrowed his eyes slightly, observing the other side's appearance. Without a doubt, this was a very beautiful robot. It can even be described as handsome. The lines were smooth and sharp, except that they are not completely in pine with human mechanical aesthetics.

But considering this was a robot that was worked in the Rose Palace, would it be unskilled in serving guests.

This seems unlikely.

Unless...Chu Yi's lips curved slightly, this robot was never meant for servicing.

But in any case, he didn't stop it but the interest in the bottom of his eyes only grew deeper. Like a cat that had finally seen its favorite toy.

"Ruezhen, can you get wet?" Chu Yi suddenly asked. The robot did not answer, and still silently pressed his shoulder. Chu Yi stared at it for a moment, then smiled deviously.

"Forget it, if I break you later, what should I do in the future, Rue?"

He raised his hand and grabbed the robot's hand on his shoulder, interlocking his five fingers, and using the pulling strength, he bent his knees and climbed up from the high bath, kneeling on the edge of the pool.

The robot's movements have completely frozen.

The young man in front of him was very close, his long black seaweed-like hair curled along his cheeks, on his shoulders, and his chest.

His whole body was dripping wet, his skin was red from the hot spring, and his lips were red as if he was a coquettish ghost, ready to devour him.

"Ruezhen," he said in a low voice, "go, get that bottle of rose essential oil on the table over there. Rub my back."

After he finished speaking, he crouched down on the edge of the hot tub, before the robot could react. He didn't have any clothes on, so he stretched out in the steam. The black rose tattoo would be around his wrist, only adding to this taboo beauty. The fair skin and the slender muscles on his back were visible to the naked eye, and some places go further down the waistline, which made Ruezhen scared to go further down.

The robot didn't move, it seemed that something went wrong with its program.

Chu Yi waited for a little impatiently.

He turned his head slightly, raised his eyes in confusion, and said dumbly.

"Why don't you move, sir, didn't you say that you'd perform the services within your hotel's policies. I'm pretty sure massage is one of them"

"Go get the oil and give me a message."

He raised his leg and kicked the robot.

Before his leg could fall, a large hand suddenly grasped the frail ankle. When he looked back up, Chu Yi was surprised to see that the entire robot was now glowing a bright pink!

Unconsciously Chu Yi paused,

Can a robot get shy?.....
