Absolute Zone Zero: I am a Succubus in Six Points Street

Zhe was not in a hurry to go to the supermarket to buy ingredients at this time. After all, the ingredients would be on sale if he went any later.

It would have been much cheaper to buy it then, since now I have an artificial intelligence at home that costs five times more electricity, and I no longer have Phaethon's account.

If I don't manage my household more frugally, I'm afraid I'll have to use my emotional points to exchange for Dinny.

"Hmm? Did my tail get in your way?"

After noticing that Zhe was approaching and standing next to her, Ailian mistakenly thought that he was a customer who wanted to enter the game hall.

Just as I was thinking of making way, I suddenly noticed Zhe's appearance, and my eyes grew a few pixels larger.

A pretty good-looking guy, does he live nearby? If they saw him, they would definitely want his contact information, right?

The 'they' here naturally refers to Ailian's classmates, who are also her good friends.

Ailian's favorability increases by 20 points. The current favorability is 20, and the emotional value gains are 200 points.

"No, I just saw you playing this game."

Zhe said as he pointed at the mini-game displayed on the screen of the game console in front of Airen, who explained nonchalantly upon seeing this.

"Well, I just saw it on my way home from school. I thought it was interesting, so I decided to play with it for a while."

"Oh, I've played it before, want to compete?"

"Hmm? Can you?"

As Ailian spoke, he looked Zhe up and down. He didn't look like the type who was good at playing games.

When Zhe heard what Ailian said, he immediately refused. What did he mean by "Can you?"

"Don't underestimate me. Although I don't play games often, I'm not bad in terms of skills."

After hearing this, Ailian said no more, and then made way a little, looking at Zhe, obviously letting him try.

When Zhe saw this, he immediately demonstrated it. Because he hadn't played for a while, his skills had regressed, but fortunately he didn't fail.

"Oh, that's amazing. I didn't expect you to be the player with the highest score who brought the second place player up to almost half their score."

Zhe had nothing to feel embarrassed about hearing Ailian's praise, but he still had to be humble.

“No, I’m just more skilled, and I see you play pretty well.

By the way, I haven’t asked you your name yet. My name is Zhe, and I’m the owner of that video store over there.”

"A video store?"

"Well, what's wrong?"

"No, nothing. My name is Ailian, and I'm still a student. Also, if it's not too much trouble, could you add my contact information?"

As Ailian spoke, she took out her cell phone, and as if she was afraid that Zhe would misunderstand, she added.

"Because I remembered that a friend of mine seemed to like watching videos recently, and I thought it would be more convenient if I had their contact information."

"Oh, that's no problem. If you need anything, you can contact me anytime, or come to our store to choose. We have very good internet speed."

Ailian nodded after hearing this, and then the two added each other's contact information.

Then Ailian left early, saying, "It's getting late and I need to go home in a hurry."

At this time, Zhe can go to the supermarket to buy the ingredients that are on sale that day. If he buys a little more and puts them in the refrigerator, he can still eat them tomorrow.

He bought discounted ingredients and added Ailian's contact information. Everything seemed to be going well, but Zhe forgot one important thing.

Back at the video store...

"Hmm? Why does brother smell like a girl again? Hmm...and it's not Ambi's!"

Oh no, did I accidentally bump into Ellen while playing games, so I got stuck with her?

"So how did you smell it?"

"Don't change the subject! Explain it to me clearly!"

"I suggest that next time you take a shower before your master comes back, you won't be discovered."

"Fairy, please stop causing trouble!"

Chapter 21 Zhe's Thoughts

"Huh? What do you mean you saw a girl playing games on your way to buy groceries? And then you went up to her and started playing with her?"

In the room on the first floor of the video store, Ling sat on the sofa and looked fiercely at Zhe who was standing in front of her. It was obvious that she was not satisfied with this statement.

"But that's really how it is, because I thought I'd be able to buy some discounted ingredients later, so..."

"So you went to hook up?"

Ling summed up the key point immediately, but it was obviously impossible to admit it, especially since he hadn't done anything yet.

"No, how can it be called flirting? And Ellen doesn't have any intention in that regard."

"Ha~ So that girl's name is Ailian. Now that I know her name, I guess I've got her contact information too."

Zhe felt a little embarrassed when he heard this. Although he didn't ask for it on his own initiative, he did have the contact information. Ling on the other side noticed something was wrong when she saw this.

"What? Did you really get the contact information, brother? Humph, so it's just a flirtation, and to a girl who is so much younger than him."

"Wait a minute, Ling, you make me feel like..."

"Of course, this behavior of the master should be called a pickup, and it's a very successful case."

"Fairy, don't you forget who is paying your five-fold electricity bill?"

"...Actually, just adding contact information wouldn't be considered a flirtation. From what I know about the host, we're probably just in-game friends."

Fairy's understanding of the current situation made Ling unable to help but complain.

"Fairy, your AI is a little too human. Besides, how long have you been with your brother? How can you say that this is based on your understanding?"

After hearing this, Fairy chose to remain silent, and Ling also gave Zhe a chance to explain.

After learning that Ailian added Zhe's contact information in order to borrow the videotape later, Ling reluctantly accepted it, but then looked at Zhe seriously.

“Brother, if you really want to cheat, as your sister, although I don’t agree, if it really happens, I won’t tell Anbi.

But as a friend, I hope you won't do anything to let her down, at least not to let Ambi down."

Hearing Ling say these words so seriously for Ambi, Zhe also felt that he should make some promises.

"Well, don't worry, Ling, I will never let Ambi down."

And I will never let down any good girl.

Zhe added this sentence in his heart, but before he could say anything else, Ling on the other side suddenly pointed at his nose, as if to say, "As expected."

"Okay, brother, you really do want to cheat! This is an unforgivable sin!"

Oops, I was careless!

Seeing this, Zhe secretly thought that it was not good, but it didn't matter. As long as he insisted that he had no such thoughts, he would be fine.

In the end, Zhe managed to get away with this matter. After all, they hadn't had dinner yet, and Ling was hungry so she didn't pursue the matter any further.

Although he said that, Zhe actually felt that Ling seemed to vaguely support him in doing so.

Regardless of whether it was an illusion or not, Zhe had to apologize to Ling in advance.

After all, as a normal man, it is normal to want to have many beautiful girls, not to mention that he has such a system.

So what he has to do is to try his best to take responsibility for the girl who likes and falls in love with him.

It was getting late, so after dinner, the two of them took a shower and went back to their rooms to sleep.

It is worth mentioning that this time Ling found another lame excuse and wanted to sleep with Zhe, and the latter had no choice but to agree.

Ling was very happy to see this. She happily lay down on the bed first, then patted the pillow and signaled Zhe to come up quickly.

Well, sleeping together isn't actually a big deal.

The next morning came, because Phaethon's account was lost, and a new Fairy came, consuming five times the electricity.

This decrease and increase forced the brother and sister to start running the video store business seriously.

Considering that they haven't purchased new videotapes for a long time, Zhe and Ling are discussing the purchasing plan.

Just then, a familiar-looking young girl seemed to have heard their conversation and suddenly walked over.

"What? You're getting new stock? That's great! I've already watched every video the store has 10 times."

“Ten times…”

Ling just felt that this was a bit too exaggerated. What motivated her to continue watching like this?

"Yes, my name is Heidi, and I'm a super loyal customer of your store. Although I complain a lot [about the store], [they only have a few videotapes over and over again. Do you really want to close it?]

But the owner’s taste is very much in tune with mine, so I can’t help but come back.”

When Hedi said this, she couldn't help but look towards Zhe, which made Ling couldn't help but complain.

"Is it really just because of the matching tastes?"

"Ahem, well, of course..."

Current favorability target:

Name: Hetty

Gender: Female

Charm value: 88 (P.S.: This charm value is determined by the author's own XP, so it may not be accurate.)

Features: Slightly

Hobbies: Watching videos

Current state: Excited, happy

Current favorability towards the owner: 80

Comment: A warm and nice girl, but sometimes she can be very sharp-tongued.

Inner thoughts: This store manager seems to have gotten much better looking recently, so I can enjoy the sight of him when I come to borrow videotapes. Oh, it would be even better if I could get his contact information.

The data provided by the system has already explained a lot, but it can still be seen that the other party really likes watching videotapes.

"Anyway, it looks like you're finally planning to get back on your feet."

Actually, I finally have time to run the video store seriously...

Ling thought so in her heart, but of course she would never say it out loud.

"Yeah, we used to run the business in a loose manner, but now we're ready to take it seriously. However, if we want to keep the video store running smoothly, we still have to think of a way."

"Is that so? Then do you need my help? I can help promote the store!"

Hetty volunteered to help, and when it came to publicity, she naturally had to mention Xiao 18 who had been in charge of this matter.

"Yeah, yeah (If you have any questions, you can ask me.'"

"Thank you so much, Little 18, oh no, Senior 18."

As Hetty spoke, she excitedly petted Little 18 like a cat. Wait, is this your real purpose?

Chapter 22 Ailian's Friend

So the motive may be a little impure, but since Hedy is willing to help promote the video store, there is nothing to complain about.

After all, he has temporarily lost the Phaethon account that could charge high commissions. Before the small account is up and running, he can only rely on the income from the video store.

There was nothing to do in the store at the moment, and just when Zhe was about to go out and take a look, he suddenly received a message.

"Well, what's wrong, brother? You look so serious, is there something important?"

Suzumi Tetsu asked with some concern, but the latter shook his head to indicate that it was nothing, and then replied.

"It's a message from 'Shepherd'. He asked me to meet him at the coffee shop. I don't know where he got the information from. Okay, I'm going out for a while. You keep an eye on the store."

"I see. Oh, by the way, brother, remember to bring me some delicious food!"

"Okay, okay, there's really nothing I can do about you."
