"What you said makes sense... but if there really were a chance to live forever right in front of you, would you really not be tempted?" The girl blinked and looked at Zhou Xiao as she asked.
Zhou Xiao did not answer this question.
It would be a lie to say I wasn't tempted.
When the prospect of immortality doesn't fall into one's lap, anyone could say they wouldn't be tempted...
It's just about immortality, living that long is all about wear and tear, all about suffering...
But what if a chance to achieve immortality were truly presented before you, something you could easily obtain with just a nod...?
Ordinary people, even sages, would find it hard to resist...
Human nature includes greed... Even if you try your best to restrain it, it still influences your mind and even dictates your behavior.
"Look, look...you're silent, which means you can't refuse either, right?" The girl chuckled when Zhou Xiao didn't answer.
"No one can resist immortality, whether they hold a high position of power or are ordinary people like us..."
"I'm leaving..." Zhou Xiao glanced at the time; it was almost time to go back.
"You're leaving?" The girl's previously cheerful face slowly calmed down upon hearing this. "Thank you so much for talking to me for so long..."
"It's okay... fifty for half an hour."
"???"
"You're charging a fee?!"
"Otherwise what?"
"Please, I'm about to die, can't you be a human being?" The girl had never seen Zhou Xiao like this before.
"Then... how about a discount? Forty?"
“...”
Family! Does anyone know anything about this...? I was just chatting casually when I went out today, and I ran into a guy trying to rip me off! What a jerk.
...
Zhou Xiao happily took the money and returned to Pigeon Inn.
Do you think he really needs those forty?
Of course, we don't lack any.
The reason for taking the girl's money was simply to give her a chance to realize the truth.
He wanted the girl to understand that most things in this world come at a price...
If you find yourself having a pleasant conversation with someone you don't know, you'll inevitably have to pay a price.
Similarly, assuming one truly obtains the immortality ability of the celestial vessel, one would inevitably have to pay the price of potentially becoming a demonic being...
cost...
Zhou Xiaoming realized this truth after experiencing the illusion last time, when the nameless power surged and the wind power gradually weakened.
Back in his room, Zhou Xiao was about to look at some e-books when Silver Wolf started spamming his screen.
Silver Wolf: Zhou Niuma!
Silver Wolf: Zhou Niuma, get out here!
Silver Wolf: Aaaaaah! My account got banned! Zhou Niuma!!!
Silver Wolf: Stop playing dead! I have your address!
Silver Wolf: You're not going to reply to me, are you?!
Silver Wolf: Give me back my account!
Some numbers, once missed, can never be regained.
Silver Wolf originally wanted to log in to check her stats and see if Zhou Xiao had completed his daily tasks, but before she could even log in, she saw the ban that ranged from one to seven days. She was stunned on the spot and immediately bombarded Zhou Xiao, who owned her game account.
...
Little silver wolf...
How ridiculous, how ridiculous...
Zhou Xiao looked at the message from Silver Wolf and shook his head.
If we don't teach her a lesson... she'll really take him for granted.
He put his phone aside, then went downstairs to ask the innkeeper for a book about immortals and ships to read...
...
Not long after Zhou Xiao returned to his room, a flash of imaginary purple light appeared, and the silver wolf smoothly slid onto his bed with a thud.
"Zhou Niu Ma... I'll fight you to the death!" Silver Wolf said through gritted teeth, staring at Zhou Xiao.
Zhou Xiao clearly did not expect Silver Wolf to appear in his room in this way.
A silver wolf fell from the sky?!
Why are you here?
"How did I get here? You didn't reply to my messages! I had no choice but to come find you through the internet!" Silver Wolf's pouty appearance was somewhat endearing, as he saw her extend her hand:
"Give me back my account!"
"This is a small punishment for what you called me, Zhou Niumao," Zhou Xiao replied calmly, sitting in his chair.
"That's what you said yourself... What does it have to do with me?" Silver Wolf indicated that the concept of cattle and horses was proposed by Zhou Xiao.
"Do you even know... those accounts are my flesh and blood... how much effort I put into them... and you've ruined them all!"
"Seven days, it'll be quick."
"Seven days...do you know how I'm going to spend the next seven days?!" Silver Wolf said.
"Just live life as it comes... take it or leave it. If you call me Zhou Niuma again, I'll report you for cheating."
Upon hearing Zhou Xiao's words, Silver Wolf declared righteously, "I, Silver Wolf, did not use any cheats!"
"Oh? Are you sure?"
"It's a science fiction game! It's perfectly normal for me to use some technology!" Silver Wolf argued earnestly.
"Tsk tsk tsk... Go ahead and appeal, see if the authorities believe your story..."
Silver Wolf's expression changed, his clenched fist trembled slightly, and he stared at Zhou Xiao for a moment, as if he had let go of something.
"Fine, I won't call you that! You can forget about playing this account! I'll change the password in a bit!"
"Yes, thank you," Zhou Xiao replied calmly.
Seeing Zhou Xiao's attitude, Silver Wolf frowned slightly: "From now on, you can't play my games either! I won't play games with you anymore!"
"Mmm...okay."
"You...!" Seeing that Zhou Xiao was still unmoved, Silver Wolf was really helpless against him. After stomping on Zhou Xiao's blanket twice, he disappeared from the room.
After Silver Wolf left, Zhou Xiao frowned as he looked at the two footprints on the bed.
All she can do is take her anger out on the blanket...
...
The night was deep.
After completing his pre-sleep routine, Zhou Xiao lay in bed and soon drifted off to sleep.
In a secluded corner of the Luofu Immortal Ship, Kafka yawned, then looked in a certain direction, and her lazy voice slowly rang out:
"Hmm... according to the script, it's about time..."
"snort!"
Beside her stood the still angry silver wolf. Seeing how angry the silver wolf was, she sighed.
"My dearest friend, your account got banned by Ah Xiao, and you're crying so pitifully..."
Kafka really didn't miss any opportunity to tease Silver Wolf.
Upon hearing this, Silver Wolf retorted without any politeness: "Well, you're doing great! Your words of power failed, and you were even counter-controlled, leaving you in such a sorry state. You're the one who's pathetic!"
Kafka: "..."
Is this something that can't be let go of?
This will become a stain on my life, Kafka?
Kafka looked a little upset: "Can we not talk about it anymore?"
"Who told you to tease me..." Silver Wolf sneered.
The saying goes, "Everything has its counter." Looking at the relationships among the Star Core Hunters on the Luo Fu Immortal Ship, Zhou Xiao counters Kafka, Silver Wolf, and Blade; Kafka counters Blade; and Silver Wolf and Kafka counter each other...
