The game is only half finished, and the entire internet is begging for an update!

The people at Gaochi were dumbfounded.

"No, buddy!"

"I risked my life to save the fox! I even performed CPR on you across species boundaries, and the first thing you did when you woke up was talk about superiors and subordinates?"

In the scene, Ning Chang'an slumped onto the deck, his chest heaving violently, his breathing not yet fully calmed.

He looked at the sunset: "So, should I just watch you drown?"

Evening Glow lay flat on the deck, its red fox-like face showing an unnatural expression, as if trying to hide its earlier panic.

"Saving people... is possible."

"After all, the greatest ship's captain would never abandon her best sailors!"

"You have to do the same!"

The two stared at each other silently for a few seconds.

"You still have the energy to talk back to me, so it seems you're alright."

Ning Chang'an sighed, propped himself up on the deck, and prepared to go to the cabin to get a dry towel.

He had just turned around.

Suddenly, the hem of my clothes was gently tugged from behind.

Ning Chang'an turned around.

Evening Glow remained lying on the deck, not looking at him.

She simply spread her hands.

In the palm of my hand lay two smooth, dark blue stones.

The stone's surface was covered with fine, scattered silver spots that shimmered slightly in the sunlight.

Ning Chang'an paused for a moment.

"What is this?"

The evening sun gazed at the sky above.

Do you know why this place is called Sinking Star Bay?

"have no idea."

"There is a long fault line on the seabed here."

"When the weather is nice, sunlight shines in from above. The minerals below reflect the light, making the whole area glow, like stars sinking into the sea."

Evening light shone down as she glanced at the stone in her hand.

"So some people say that if it's your first time diving at Chenxing Bay, you can bring back two rocks from there."

"One for myself. One for my diving buddy."

Ning Chang'an looked at her.

"and then?"

The evening light gently closed his hands.

"When we find a place more beautiful or more memorable than Chenxing Bay in the future..."

"Throw them all back out together."

Upon hearing this, Gao Chi raised his eyebrows.

"Goodness."

"This is hardly a diving custom!"

At this point, Wan Zhao paused, her voice barely audible.

"Thank you for earlier."

"If someone else fell in, would you jump into the sea without hesitation?"

As the evening light posed its question, the game screen froze instantly.

Then, choose to emerge.

Yes, we're all friends, I wouldn't stand by and watch someone die.

This assumption is meaningless; it's good that everything is alright now.

I don't know, I didn't have time to think about it just now.

I'm a zookeeper; I'll rescue any animal in the park if anything happens to them.

Gao Chi looked at the four options and hesitated for a moment.

"How do I choose?"

"Why does everything feel so blurry?"

Gao Chi thought about it carefully.

"No, that won't work."

"If someone gets into trouble right in front of you, would you refuse to help just because they're not someone you like?"

"That's way too low."

As he spoke, he hovered the mouse over the last option.

Ning Chang'an looked at the evening light and answered quite naturally.

"meeting."

The evening light paused slightly.

Ning Chang'an continued:

"I am the zookeeper."

"I will save any animal in the park if anything happens to them."

Gao Chi didn't notice anything amiss; instead, he nodded in satisfaction.

"The protagonist's professionalism is impeccable."

"A real man treats everyone equally!"

Even the sunset in the game quieted down.

She stared at Ning Chang'an for two or three seconds before slowly turning her head back.

"oh."

Ning Chang'an seemed completely oblivious to the problem.

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing much."

Evening Glow propped herself up on the deck and sat up, reverting to her carefree demeanor from before.

"You really are a hard worker and dedicated to your job."

"I'll order a banner for you when we get back."

"It says above..."

She cleared her throat.

"Love knows no bounds, and all beings are equal."

The players behind them finally couldn't hold back any longer.

"Ha ha ha ha!"

"It's over, the yin and yang have become intertwined!"

"The concept of equality for all beings has been brought up!"

"I think it's great, everyone gets a share! It's very memorable!"

Gao Chi looked at the screen again, only then realizing what had happened.

"Wait a moment."

Was she testing me just now?

Several people behind him turned to look at him.

"You finally figured it out? You're pretty fast!"

"When someone asks you if you'd save someone else, the standard answer is definitely, 'You're different!'"

"You come up with the statement that all animals in the zoo are treated equally."

"This is like your girlfriend asking you what's different about you compared to other people, and you saying, 'We're all primates, what's the difference?'"

Gao Chi: "..."

It seems there really is a problem.

Just then, game prompts popped up one after another.

[Evening Glow Exclusive Event: The Captain and the Sailors]

Current progress: Incomplete

Location file unlocked: Sinking Star Bay

This is a diving spot that is highly valued by the sunset industry.

The last line of text paused for a moment before slowly appearing.

It seems the evening light still has something to say to you.

Gao Chi stared at the last prompt, scratched his head, and turned to the player behind him with a blank expression, asking:

"Why does it show as incomplete? Is there something else she didn't finish saying?"

"Dude, shut up and get on with the plot!"

The people behind him urged him on frantically.

In the video, Wan Zhao did not provide further explanation or mention the stone again.

After she recovered, she picked up a waterproof camera and pulled Ning Chang'an over to take a photo of them together at the bow of the boat.

In the photo, the two stand side by side with a large expanse of shimmering sea behind them.

Evening Glow was all smiles, while Ning Chang'an looked completely bewildered.

[Commemorative photo: Captain and sailors]

[Received Souvenir: Sunken Star Stone]

After the yacht returned to port, the sea voyage officially ended.

The scene then returns to the large, sunny map of Senyu Zoo.

Gao Chi did not continue to seek out character interactions; instead, he controlled the character to wander aimlessly around the zoo.

"Guys, don't you guys think something's a bit off?"

"The game is called 'Love Requires Talking to People'... but I've been playing from the beginning and haven't seen a single person!"

"Aren't you really considering any transformation grass items?"

"Although I'm very adaptable, I still lack a bit of immersion!"

"Maybe... I'm not twisted enough!"

The game didn't give him an answer right away.

The people behind Gao Chi ignored him.

Dude, you're swearing, aren't you?! We like it so much, we're so invested in it! Are you indirectly criticizing us?

Gao Chi circled the map, his gaze finally settling on the [Psychological Counseling Room] in the corner.

Dr. Wu's profile picture is still lit up.

"never mind."

"For professional questions, ask the professionals."

Gao Chi Click Consultation Room.

Screen switch.

The room remained quiet.

Dr. Wu was sitting on the sofa, looking down as he sorted through several records.

She didn't even look up when she heard footsteps.

"You're here?"

Ning Chang'an sat down opposite him.

"Um."

Dr. Wu turned to a page of the record.

"What are you having trouble distinguishing this time?" Dr. Wu asked calmly.

Soon, several answers popped up on the game interface.

I think I'm attracted to a fox.

I might really have a problem.

Doctor, I can't tell the difference anymore.

It's nothing, I was just passing by.
