What is love?
Louis: "I am willing to give my life for you, that is love."
Qi Qi paused, looking at him with pity, thinking to herself: [Then I might never learn to love. From birth, I've known I would never give my life to someone else.]
I thought it was selfishness, but if this is love, it must be blind love. I like many things, but I don't like this.
The system's database shows: "That's right, big data shows that love is just a disease; few people are truly awake, but many are hopelessly incurable."
Qi Qi said: "[Louis looks quite ill now, but I'm actually...liking him even more.]"
A sweet smile bloomed again, and the robot, enveloped in love, once again experienced the beauty of human emotions.
He said softly, "Thank you for your love, I really like it."
"If you can, please love a little more."
Looking at the poor patient's face, Qi Qi lowered his head.
A light kiss landed on Louis's forehead.
...
Looking at Jason, who was excited after being called, Sterling expressionlessly popped a mint into his mouth.
Calm and soothing, produced by the system, one pill costs only one point.
He said coldly, "Something's strange. The protagonist has already fallen for it, so we need to be more clear-headed."
"If you get lost in the songs of the mermaids, you'll become a fool like Louis."
"They're just pretty NPCs, is that more attractive than 100 points?"
Hilllo popped two mints into his mouth and said coldly, "You're right, she's just a little prettier and cuter, but 100 points are still more important."
Jason ate five mints, then resumed his icy demeanor and said, "That's right, points..."
Jason, do you like to eat fish?
Qi, a beautiful mermaid, held the fish that had been offered to her by its tail in both hands, staring longingly at Jason. Her rosy lips opened and closed, silently expressing her desire.
Sterling sneered: "Low-level tactics."
"Bang... Crash..."
A huge splash of water rang out.
The idiot teammate who said points were more important was already grinning from ear to ear as he went to eat fish.
Sterling: "..."
Sillo retorted expressionlessly, "Idiot."
Then she gave herself two more mints.
Sterling: "..."
...
Qi Qi successfully reached the shore, wearing a human cloak, his face filled with arrogance and pride.
He walked at the front like a triumphant general, his mind still counting the 5880 points he had earned.
【I'm the best! Wow, so many points, I can't possibly spend them all, hahaha...】
[There are still dozens of people who haven't made it back yet! And there are still 200 humans on the shore! So much money, hahaha...]
later.
Jason, holding the fish, said with a serious expression, "I was just pretending to be captivated by him. Don't you guys think this NPC is really weird?"
Strangely fascinating.
"We need to lower his guard and gain his trust before we can continue with the plan. Don't worry, I have my own pace."
Sillo: "Rhythm Bro, you're really smart."
Sterling: "Ha."
Back at the long dining table, the servants, blushing, rushed to set out lamps and serve fine wine and food.
Qi Qi, sitting in the head seat, said solemnly, "I need your help with something."
Louis took Qi Qi's hand and gave it a gentlemanly kiss: "Please tell me, what is troubling you?"
Qi Qi discreetly observed the expressions of the three mission takers and said, "Regarding the origins of the ancient merfolk, and also, perhaps you know the origin of the black gem in the castle? It's a very large one, this big."
He made a shape with his hand.
Big eyes are really not suitable for peeking; his little gestures are obviously adorable.
Sterling immediately looked intently at Qi Qi, his tone serious as he asked, "Oh? What kind of black gemstone are you talking about?"
Louis: "Uncle, please be polite and don't speak to our dear friend like that."
"Regarding the origins of the Sosia merfolk, I feel utterly ashamed for our ancestors. I've been researching merfolk history from hundreds of years ago these past few days, which I'll explain to you later. As for the black gemstone..."
Louis pondered for a moment: "There was indeed a black gem in the island's history. It was the prized possession of the island's largest merchant, and its name originated from Paradise Island. It was called 'Heart of the Angel.' The records should still be there. Qi, how did you know about this gem? Do you need to learn about it?"
The heart of an angel? It's more like the heart of hell.
Qi Qi immediately replied, "Yes, I'm very interested in this gem."
Louis immediately looked at him with deep affection: "Alright, then let's take a look at the gem information first. Actually, I also have many gems in my private treasury, red, green, black and yellow, and sapphires as beautiful as your eyes... No, they are far less than one-tenth or one-hundredth of yours. If you are still willing to come back to the country with me, I want to give them all to you."
Qi Qi said earnestly, "If there's a chance in the future, but we need to hurry, I really want to know the story of that black gem! I want to know it very, very soon."
"Okay!" Louis was already on fire, eager to find the information and show it to Xinshangjiao right now.
Qi Qi naturally supported him: "Then go ahead, Louis, good luck!"
Louis stood up, carrying the lamp, and walked away excitedly.
Qi Qi dismissed the servants, and the atmosphere at the dining table fell silent.
There are four people left: Qi Qi, Sterling, Hilllow, and Jason.
There were many candles and oil lamps lit, so the light wasn't dim, but it made Sterling and his companions look mysterious and unpredictable.
Sterling asked, "Is that black gem in your possession now?"
Qi Qi couldn't directly admit his identity, even though he had already been exposed and his true identity was pretty much revealed because of the fence incident.
Maintaining his villainous persona, he dropped his gentle and coaxing demeanor, grinned, and snorted coldly, "Didn't expect that, did you! This prince has fully recovered, and your petty tricks can no longer threaten me."
"Gemstones and such are none of your concern. All you need to do is find the answer I'm looking for!"
She stared coldly at the group, trying to show her ferocity, but little did she know that when a pretty person makes a small expression, it doesn't look fierce at all; it only makes her look more beautiful.
Moreover, there was no malice in his glaring eyes, only a cute, feigned fierceness.
Sterling paused for a moment, then quickly lowered his eyes and stuffed a few things into his mouth.
Then, his tone became even colder: "So, what answer do you need?"
