Zeus' appetite was whetted by Zhou Zhou's half-sentence, but Zhou Zhou didn't seem to want to continue talking. Instead, he went to see what they were going to eat in the evening.
"Zhou Zhou, I know a lot. No matter what questions you ask, I can answer them." Zeus was circling around Zhou Zhou, anxiously.
Zhou Zhou put down the food in his hand, thought for a moment, then looked at him and asked, "Then do you know anything about love?"
Zeus: ...I never expected it to be a topic like this. Although he has lived for a long time and has mastered a lot of knowledge, he has never had much interest in human love and affection. These topics are indeed a little beyond his scope.
Zeus looked at Zhou Zhou with an expression that said, "Just you see, I told you you don't know," which immediately aroused his fighting spirit. Zhou Zhou finally had a question to ask him, so how could he just let it go? Even if he was not interested, he knew a lot about the relevant legal knowledge in this area.
If the question Zhou Zhou asked was difficult, he could search on Starnet now, and someone would definitely know the answer.
"Tell me your question first, and I'll see if I can answer it." Zeus said conservatively.
Zhou Zhou recalled what Al had asked in the car, and asked Zeus, "Why can't we date many people?"
This question is very simple.
Zeus: "Of course, why not? You can only marry one person, otherwise it is against the law. There is no such requirement for dating."
But Al and the driver didn't say that. Zhou Zhou lowered his head and thought for a while, then said the key point: "I'm not thinking about getting married. I mean, what about dating many people at the same time? Is that okay?"
Zeus opened his mouth wide: "Huh?"
Although he is just an artificial intelligence and has no interest in love between humans, he is accustomed to human views on love and morality, so Zhou Zhou's words do have a huge impact on him.
"Is it not possible?"
Zeus scratched his head and said with some embarrassment: "Although there is no law that requires one to be loyal in love, but people like this..."
He thought about what people called him on the Internet. "Generally, he is called a scumbag, a sea king, or someone who has multiple relationships. It is a very immoral thing. Anyway, there are many such topics on the Internet. They have never stopped since ancient times, and they are always popular. Once such a topic appears, everyone will curse it severely."
Zeus is not interested in human love affairs, but that doesn't mean he doesn't like to join in the fun. When encountering such a hot topic, he will still go and take a look.
And if Zhou Zhou needed it, he could immediately search out thousands of cases.
Scumbag? Neptune? Having one foot in multiple boats? Being scolded?
He did the same thing before, and everyone was praising him, so why was he being scolded for the same thing here?
He didn't understand, but he was shocked.
So that's why Al and the driver were so surprised when he expressed his opinion?
So in this world, he can only date one person? Can't talk with everyone? Zhou Zhou opened the contacts on his communication channel and looked at the dozens of people. He really had no way of choosing just one person.
"Alas~" Zhou Zhou felt melancholy.
"Ah~" The little octopus on his shoulder also imitated his sigh.
"Zhou Zhou?" Zeus asked in confusion, "What's wrong with you?"
Zhou Zhou shook his head: "It's okay."
Although he had said before that he wanted to integrate into this world, now that he has met so many people, he wants to be with everyone forever. But now he is faced with a difficult choice. It is really hard to choose.
Zhou Zhou, who has always been decisive, acted like a coward for the first time. Forget it, let’s talk about this later. Let’s eat first. Eating is the most important thing.
After dinner, Shirley and Keli sent a message to Zhou Zhou, saying that they were in the game and invited Zhou Zhou to go out and play. Because these two people have to work during the day, they can only go online at night or on weekends.
I'm off work now, so I contacted Zhou Zhou after dinner.
Zhou Zhou looked at the two people's invitations and was in a dilemma for a moment. It was okay that he didn't know that what he did was wrong before. Now that he knew, it became very difficult to face Shirley and Koli, these two people were the first people he met in this world, and if it weren't for them, he would still be alone in the Love Academy.
So the two of them have different meanings. In addition, Shirley and Keli take good care of him, and Zhou Zhou also likes to do dungeons with them. But what should he do now? Is he going to lose them?
After sitting at home in silence for a while, Zhou Zhou went out. No matter what, he still had to talk things out in person. He could ask Shirley and Keli for their opinions and see what they thought.
There is no way to solve this problem by keeping it to oneself. He does not understand the customs and habits of this world. Now that he knows that he has made a mistake, he must stop the loss in time and cannot continue to make the same mistake.
The lights in Nightmare City were bright at night, even more lively than during the day. Players who made appointments to complete quests, play in the holographic world, and have parties and chats all had bright smiles on their faces. Zhou Zhou wore a beige scarf, hiding half of his face underneath it, but the sadness emanating from him was out of tune with the people around him.
Although he was meeting a friend in the game, his steps were very heavy, as if he was not going to a party but to serve a sentence.
After sighing a few times, he finally arrived at the agreed place.
This is a famous scenic spot in Nightmare City, located on a low mountain.
The city of Nightmare City is very large, but no matter how large the scope is, it has its limits. The entire city not only contains large and small lakes and seas, but also high mountain basins. Very far away from them, at the edge of the Nightmare City, is a city wall. The towering wall surrounds the vast city.
Few players would go to the most remote places to see the city walls, and no one has ever gone out from the city walls.
Some people have talked about it in the game forum. After all, the name of the game, Nightmare City, is the novice village for the entire game. Maybe more maps will be developed outside the city walls in the future. Of course, there are still many places in the Novice Village that have not been explored, so everyone’s main interest is still focused on the city.
The low mountain was not far from where Zhou Zhou lived, and he wanted to delay some time, so he just walked. It took about twenty minutes to walk from the foot of the mountain to the top. There was nothing worth seeing on the mountain, it was just bare. There were so many players that they almost filled the entire mountain.
Zhou Zhou had to squeeze through the crowd to find the place where he and Shirley had agreed to meet.
However, the lively scene around dispelled some of the sadness. Everyone looked very happy and looked up at the sky from time to time.
Zhou Zhou also looked up at the sky, but it was pitch black and there was nothing in it.
"Zhou Zhou!" Shirley stood on a high ground and waved excitedly at Zhou Zhou.
Zhou Zhou looked over when he heard the sound and saw Shirley and Keli standing there, so he also walked over there.
"Zhou Zhou, come here quickly. I saw on Star Online that the sky here is especially beautiful every Monday night."
Shirley pulled Zhou Zhou, who was walking slowly, to her side. There were too many people nearby, so it would be better for them to stand together in case they got squeezed and lost.
Half of Zhou Zhou's face was buried in the scarf, and his big eyes stared at Shirley and Keli, making them look very young. However, the two people he was staring at had already looked up at the sky, and were checking the time from time to time.
"It's out, it's out, Zhou Zhou, look!" Shirley shouted excitedly, pointing at the sky.
Zhou Zhou looked up at the sky. The dark sky was filled with gorgeous meteor showers. Silver light streaked across the sky, leaving behind short and dazzling streaks of light.
The crowd around also exclaimed in amazement. The scenery in the sky was different every week, so the players were very much looking forward to it every time. Sure enough, today's meteor shower did not disappoint everyone's expectations. It gradually ended after half an hour. During this time, Zhou Zhou and Shirley were only busy looking up at the sky and had no time to talk at all.
It was not until the last meteor that almost lit up half the night disappeared into the sky with a reddish glow that Shirley excitedly said to Zhou Zhou, "How is it? Isn't it beautiful? I wanted to come and see it before, but Keli was too lazy to do a dungeon. The dungeon is right there and you can't run away. You can't see such scenery at any time. You men really don't understand life."
Ke Li: "I was dragged here by you in the end, and doesn't this happen every week?"
Shirley snorted, "Every week is different. There won't be a meteor shower next week. What do you think, Zhou Zhou? Isn't it beautiful?"
"nice."
Zhou Zhou nodded. It was really beautiful. He had not been to many places in the game. Every place and every scenery was a new experience for him.
Shirley is a girl after all, and she immediately discovered that Zhou Zhou seemed a little abnormal today. Normally, Zhou Zhou would be very excited to see such a scene, but today he was particularly silent and seemed to be in a bad mood.
"Zhou Zhou, are you worried about something today?" Shirley asked.
Keli also looked over with concern.
Zhou Zhou originally wanted to delay for a while, but Shirley noticed something unusual. He shrank his neck and buried himself in his scarf, as if he thought that this way he could play ostrich and keep silent.
After a long while, he spoke slowly.
"Shirley, Keli, if we can't be a couple, can we still continue to do dungeons together?" Zhou Zhou didn't say it clearly, but shrank his neck, only revealing a pair of big eyes looking at the two of them expectantly.
? ? ?
What does this mean?
Shirley and Keli looked at each other and saw confusion in each other's eyes.
Shirley felt a little guilty. Could it be that Zhou Zhou saw that she wanted to take him home? Is that why you ask? But who wouldn’t want to take such a cute boy home?
Keli felt a little puzzled, and his thoughts began to wander. Could it be that Shirley had confessed her love to Zhou Zhou and said that they would break up if they couldn't be together? That's why Zhou Zhou was scared and he was eager to know if they could still be friends?
He looked at his sister suspiciously, and found that Shirley's eyes were wandering and she looked guilty. It was obvious that there was something wrong!
Knowing that Zhou Zhou has a simple personality and is not the kind of worldly-wise or smooth-talking person, he still forces him to make a choice. Even though Shirley was his biological sister, he would never take her side this time.
Keli took a step forward, looked at the anxious Zhou Zhou, and said seriously: "I have always regarded you as my younger brother. From now on, we are brothers. We can do dungeons together at any time."
Zhou Zhou is younger than him, and they have such a good relationship, so aren’t they brothers?
brother?
When Shirley saw Keli glaring at her, she said guiltily, "Aren't we good friends now? Whether we are friends, lovers, brothers and sisters, etc., we can play games together. Lovers are actually just friends who have a very good relationship that goes beyond the boundaries of friendship... cough cough cough"
There was nothing wrong with wanting to secretly popularize the idea of couples, but Keli glared at her again. Shirley coughed a few times and pretended that she hadn't said anything in the last sentence.
Zhou Zhou listened to what the two said and tried to digest it: "You mean, we want to play together, not just as couples, but also brothers, sisters and friends?"
Shirley and Keli nodded in unison.
Keli looked at Zhou Zhou and seemed to be still hesitating about something. Was he afraid of ruining their previous relationship? Did Shirley get hurt?
"In fact, the relationship between friends and brothers is more solid than that between lovers. After all, there are many cases where lovers quarrel because they are too close and disagree with each other. On the contrary, it is better for friends to keep a certain distance and have a better relationship."
There is no mention of quarrels between friends and brothers. Keli just wanted Zhou Zhou to feel no pressure.
Zhou Zhou: "Can I have many friends at the same time?"
Shirley: “Of course.”
After hearing what they said, Zhou Zhou suddenly understood. Isn’t it said that having many relationships is problematic? In this case, he won’t have a romantic relationship. He can just make friends with other people directly, or form a brother-sister relationship with them. This way, there will be no problem even if he plays with many people.
The sadness just now disappeared, Zhou Zhou poked his whole face out from the scarf, his eyebrows curved, and said happily: "Then we won't be in love anymore, we will just be brothers from now on."
Seeing Zhou Zhou return to normal, Keli and Shirley both breathed a sigh of relief. It didn't matter whether they were just friends or brothers and sisters, it wouldn't affect their relationship.
Just like that, the two people who were unaware of the whole process from dating to breaking up were dumped by Zhou Zhou without hesitation.
And they themselves tried their best to persuade them.
