Chapter 66 Nightmare City (XIV)



Zeus: "... Stop pretending, I know you guys are pestering Zhou Zhou every day."

Zeus knew a lot of things. These little dolls knew Zhou Zhou earlier than he did, and they even went to the amusement park together. He was so jealous.

"You must listen to me from now on. I am Zhou Zhou's favorite person." Zeus said shamelessly.

Faced with such an arrogant person, the little dolls were not to be trifled with and they all started to curse at Zeus.

"I don't want to listen to you."

"Who are you? We have never seen you before."

"Zhou Zhou never told you anything, you must have sneaked in!"

"He doesn't like you, you're ugly!"

Zeus: “!!!” His appearance has been optimized by the system, how could he be ugly?

"You are ugly!"

Zeus and the dolls attacked each other verbally and even came to blows.

The dolls surrounded Zeus and wanted to hit him, but Zeus threw each doll far away, and rubbed the small dolls, which were not even as big as his palm.

The little octopus, who was trying to take advantage of the situation, stood on the table, waving its tentacles excitedly, as if cheering for Zeus, and occasionally attacked Zeus by puffing at him.

The house suddenly became chaotic and bustling.

Zhou Zhou went to the store to buy clothes for Zeus. When he came back with the clothes, he found the atmosphere inside was a bit strange as soon as he entered the door.

Little Whale sat on the sofa with a well-behaved posture.

The little octopus stood on the table, baring its teeth and waving its claws.

All the little dolls stood on the ground, gathered together and stared at the little whale, with their fur in disarray.

The three parties ignored each other and remained in a stalemate until Zhou Zhou appeared, when the atmosphere eased. The little dolls ran towards Zhou Zhou while calling his name, and the little octopus also quickly tried to climb down from the table.

Zeus was naturally faster than these short-legged guys. He took a few steps and was the first to arrive in front of Zhou Zhou.

"Zhou Zhou, you've been out for a long time." Zeus blocked the way for others and complained to Zhou Zhou.

Zhou Zhou: A long time? He just picked out a few pieces of clothing, and it only took about ten minutes from the time he left the house.

"Are you playing together?" Zhou Zhou asked.

Before the little dolls could complain, Zeus smiled and said, "Yeah, it was fun!"

Having fun means that he unilaterally laughed at the little octopus and fought with the doll. If he didn't feel that Zhou Zhou was about to come back, they would have continued fighting.

Anyway, the elves didn't feel any pain after possessing the doll. To be honest, they beat him up in groups, showing no martial ethics at all. None of them could fight. Their tiny fists were not even as big as his fingers. When they hit him, they were soft and had no killing power at all.

The little dolls stood behind Zeus aggrievedly, wanting to come over but being blocked. This guy was clearly talking to Zhou Zhou directly, but it seemed as if he had eyes on his back, moving left and right to block their route to Zhou Zhou.

But the little dolls were not pushovers. There were more than a dozen of them. If one was blocked, the others would change direction. How could Zeus, with only a pair of legs, possibly stop everyone? They still broke through the defense line and ran towards Zhou Zhou.

"Zhou Zhou! He bullied us." The little dolls hugged Zhou Zhou's calves and complained.

Zhou Zhou looked down at the little dolls, then looked at Zeus in confusion.

Zeus was not flustered at all. Instead, he pretended to be more aggrieved and looked at the dolls who were hugging Zhou Zhou's calves: "I have never heard of the game you play before, and I really don't know how to play it, but I can learn. Can you take me with you to play? Don't complain to Zhou Zhou, I have nowhere else to go."

The poor little thing makes people cry and feel soft-hearted.

The children had never seen such a scheming person before, and they were stunned when they looked at Zeus.

It was obvious that when Zhou Zhou was not at home, this guy grabbed their dolls by the bodies and threw them up and down, causing the fur to become a mess. Now he looked like he was being bullied by them.

Zhou Zhou looked at the silent children, and then at Zeus who was about to cry. He didn't know what had happened, but if the matter between the children was not a big problem, it would be better to let them solve it themselves.

"You guys should have fun and not fight." Zhou Zhou said to both sides.

Zeus held Zhou Zhou's arm and nodded obediently: "Okay, I'll listen to you."

"Xiao Jing, your current clothes don't fit you. I bought some and you can change into new ones." Zhou Zhou said, looking at the loose clothes on Zeus.

Zeus held Zhou Zhou's arm and walked towards the bedroom with him. Then he turned around and gave a provocative smile to the little doll on the ground who was stunned and didn't know how to react.

Little dolls: Ahhhh, they are so mad!

While everyone was talking, the little octopus ran all the way towards Zhou Zhou, and finally returned to his own territory - Zhou Zhou's shoulder. This is his territory, and even that bad guy can't shake his status.

When Zhou Zhou was around, Zeus became particularly well-behaved and would do whatever he asked him to do without arguing with him. The clothes I bought were very suitable, and Zeus looked even more well-behaved and cute after changing his clothes.

The little dolls were so angry that they went back early. They wanted to go back and think of a countermeasure. They were indeed no match for Zeus in terms of scheming, but they could go home and ask other people for advice. They would definitely get their revenge when the time came.

Zeus had no idea about the dolls' psychological activities, and even if he knew, it would not matter to him. He had learned much more from humans anyway.

At night, Zeus slept on Zhou Zhou's bed, while Zhou Zhou went to sleep in the study.

There is also a bed in the study, which is a hidden bed. When needed, the study can be turned into another bedroom by adjustment. If not needed, it can be restored to a study. It is very convenient.

Originally the bedroom was bigger, and Zhou Zhou wanted the little octopus to stay here with Zeus, but the little octopus clung to Zhou Zhou's shoulders and refused to leave, so he had to take him to the study.

Zeus smiled and waved at Zhou Zhou, but his eyes were always fixed on the little octopus. If he had known earlier that he could also turn into such a tiny creature, maybe he could have slept with Zhou Zhou at night.

But when he thought that the octopus would leave tomorrow, Zeus' mood improved again. He lay on the bed, his eyes, which were originally black and white, flashing with blue light, and all kinds of data codes flashing through his eyes.

He never sleeps. He usually runs around the entire network or carries out repairs and reinforcements, etc. There is nothing important to do today, so he goes to other holographic devices to watch the mecha competition.

Zeus' body is still here, but his consciousness has gone to other games via the Internet.

The next morning, when Zhou Zhou opened his eyes on time, he saw Zeus wandering around with a smile on his face brighter than the sun.

Zhou Zhou blinked, feeling a little confused. He was a light sleeper and would wake up immediately if there was any movement around him. He closed the door last night, so when did Xiao Jing come in? Why didn't he notice it at all?

Was I too tired yesterday?

"Zhou Zhou Zhou, how about we go to the lake today?" Zeus asked.

The captain was released today, and he is now at the lakeside, so it is a good opportunity to return the little octopus. This way, Zhou Zhou will be the only one at home.

Zhou Zhou did not speak out his doubts. After getting up, he bought breakfast and brought it home to eat with everyone. Although he asked Zeus to help with cooking, he could not really let him cook every meal.

While eating, Zhou Zhou fed the little octopus and asked Zeus curiously, "Little Whale, can you still turn into a whale?"

"Of course, Zhou Zhou, do you want to see it?" Zeus asked. Not to mention a whale, he could even transform into a mecha, a rocket, or Elvia.

Zhou Zhou shook his head: "You must remember not to turn into a whale in front of other people, otherwise someone will notice your abnormality and hurt you."

Hurt him? He really didn't know who could hurt him. His true form was just a string of data, and he had countless clones that existed in every corner of the empire. Even if one's body is destroyed, as long as he is transferred in time, he will never die.

It is estimated that the only way to kill him is to blow up the entire empire at the same time. Of course, no one can do this. The empire has more than one planet. If countless galaxies disappear at the same time, even the most powerful weapons in existence cannot do it.

However, Zeus did not refute Zhou Zhou, but nodded with a smile: "I know, I won't let anyone else find out." Hehe, Zhou Zhou cares about him.

Because Zeus looked like a child and could not be seen by other players, after dinner Zhou Zhou took the little octopus and the things left by the captain and went out.

By the Colt Lake, a man with a bulging belly was lying on a lounge chair basking in the sun. At this time, the fog on the lake was not very thick, the air was just the right amount of moisture, and the sun's rays were not very dazzling. The bearded man was lying on a bamboo lounge chair, his feet crossed, looking very comfortable.

"Captain?" Zhou Zhou asked as he approached. The captain's beard and belly are indeed very conspicuous, and you can notice his erect belly at first glance.

The captain heard the voice, opened his eyes and looked over: "It's you."

"Well, you were finally released today. I've been waiting for you for a long time."

This sounded strange, as if he had just been released from prison: "What's the matter?"

"Your stuff that day fell by the lake." Zhou Zhou raised the things in his hand, put down the small stool and bucket, and handed the fishing rod to the captain.

The captain glanced at the ground indifferently, then took the fishing rod and said, "Thank you, but these things are not very valuable. There is no need to wait for me here."

He swung the fishing rod and threw the hook into the lake. He held the fishing rod in one hand and said, "I haven't caught a single fish here with this broken fishing rod. I'm just killing time. If anyone enters the dungeon, I'll sell the boat to them."

Never caught a fish?

Zhou Zhou looked at the motionless fishing rod and the lake: "I caught it here yesterday, I used your fishing rod."

The captain still looked lazy and yawned. "Impossible, there are no fish in this lake. What did you catch? It couldn't be a player."

"Really, I caught a lot of fish."

"Really? Then catch another one for me." The captain handed the fishing rod to Zhou Zhou. When he saw that he took it, he put his hands behind his head, looking drowsy.

Zhou Zhou held the fishing rod in both hands, did not argue with the other party, and looked at the lake quietly.

The captain is about to fall asleep. No one has come to do his copy today, and no one has come to buy the ship. He is so idle.

"I caught it." A clear and pleasant voice suddenly came to the captain's ears, and at the same time there were a few drops of coolness on his face.

He frowned and touched the coolness on his face, only to find that it was just a few drops of water splashed on it. When he opened his eyes, he met the eyes of a fish with its eyes rolled back. The fish was swinging its tail hard, and the water from its body splashed onto his face and clothes.

Zhou Zhou quickly lifted the fish farther away.

The captain looked at the fish that was jumping and hanging on the hook, and asked doubtfully: "Did you catch this? Or did you buy one and hang it here, pretending it looked pretty good."

"I'm not pretending." Zhou Zhou put the fish in the bucket and threw the hook into the lake.

This time the captain did not sleep again. Instead, he sat up from the recliner and stared at Zhou Zhou and the fishing rod without blinking.

After a few minutes, there was movement on the fishing rod.

The captain couldn't sit still any longer. He got up from the lounge chair and walked to the lake. Seeing Zhou Zhou slowly reeling in the line, he grabbed the line and lifted it up. A lively fish jumped out of the water with the hook in its mouth. The captain raised his eyebrows and said, "Okay."

The captain took the fishing rod from Zhou Zhou again, but he waited for a long time and there was still no movement.

He touched his beard in confusion and tentatively handed the fishing rod to Zhou Zhou. A few minutes later, Zhou Zhou caught another fish.

Captain: “…” This fishing rod discriminates!

The captain's mouth twitched. He had been fishing here for several days without catching any fish. He thought there were no fish in the lake. How come this guy always caught one? Does fishing also depend on luck?

Not understanding how sad and angry the captain was, Zhou Zhou put the fish in the bucket and touched the head of the little octopus on his shoulder. Although he had not spent much time with the little octopus, he was a little reluctant to let it go.

Taking the little octopus off his shoulder, Zhou Zhou gently grasped the little octopus and handed it to the captain who was still studying the fishing rod: "This is your little octopus."

The captain had just stretched out his hand, and before he could touch the octopus, the little pink octopus quickly crawled back to Zhou Zhou's shoulder, very quickly, using all eight tentacles.

Captain: ...Not only the fishing rod, now even the octopus has rebelled!

Zhou Zhou also couldn't bear to part with the little octopus. It curled up around his neck and didn't move, trying to minimize its presence, but sooner or later it would have to go back.

He tried to gently pull the small octopus off with his hands, but it used its tentacle suction cups to firmly fix itself on its neck. Zhou Zhou did not dare to use force for fear of hurting it.

"Come down, your master is on the other side."

The little octopus buried its head in Zhou Zhou's neck, neither listening nor looking.

"Come down." Zhou Zhou coaxed softly.

Captain: “…” Why does he seem like a villain who destroys other people’s families?

"Forget it, forget it. Since it doesn't want to follow me, just take it back." The captain waved his hand indifferently.

Zhou Zhou was stunned: "What about your copy? Isn't there still a little octopus in it..."

Before Zhou Zhou finished speaking, the captain interrupted him immediately: "Shh! Don't mention this, what if I get banned again? Don't worry about this, if we lose the octopus, we still have the squid, if we lose the squid, we still have the turtle, they can all be used."

The little octopus understood what the captain said and immediately became excited. It no longer pretended to be dead like before, but waved its tentacles and twisted around.

Zhou Zhou didn't want to be separated from the little octopus, but he was a little embarrassed despite being happy: "Is there anything I can do to help?"

Captain: "Teach me how to fish."

Zhou Zhou thought about it and decided that he just needed to put the fishing hook down and wait. There was nothing to be taught.

"I just put the hook down and wait." Zhou Zhou said honestly.

Then he put the fishing hook down again. He could catch a fish every few minutes. It seemed like the fish in the lake were queuing up for him to catch them. One after another, the bucket was almost full, and the captain's mouth twitched.

How to learn this? There is no skill to learn at all. In his opinion, the fish just take the bait voluntarily!

Why couldn’t he catch any fish? Was it really because of his looks? The captain stroked his beard and began to doubt his life.

No, it must be the fishing rod!

The captain couldn't believe that he was so unlucky, he wanted to get a new fishing rod! After changing his fishing rod, he was able to catch so many fish!

"Take the fishing rod away too. This fishing rod doesn't suit me, so I can't catch any fish." The captain said confidently.

Zhou Zhou originally wanted to help, but was driven away by the captain, who said that Zhou Zhou's presence here was affecting his luck.

Zhou Zhou was not angry even though he was chased away. He took his fishing rod and the little octopus and went home happily.

Zeus thought he could send the octopus away: “…” Why is it back again?
