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

It would be great if I could ask her to modify my car while I have money~"

"Don't ever say that. You're the expert on the practical aspects of internal combustion engines, and you've given me a lot of inspiration.

If you let me sit in your passenger seat, we can definitely chat for three days and three nights!"

Grace praised Paipai modestly and enthusiastically, and the two looked like good friends who had not seen each other for many years.

Chapter 462: As big as an arm... (referring to the earthworm drawn by Ailian)

"So how are we going to handle the fish frying..."

Seeing that Paipai seemed to have forgotten what he was supposed to do, Zhe reminded him, and the latter was stunned for a moment.

"Fried fish? What fish? ...Oh...I remember now...Is it about Grace's exquisite fishing equipment?"

Apparently, he'd forgotten about it. And what was it about "exquisite"? After chatting for a while, his attitude had completely changed.

"What happened to the child?"

When Grace heard the conversation between the two, she was suddenly confused, while Paipai quickly waved her hands.

"No! Absolutely not! To be honest, when I first saw the machine, I thought it was just ordinary...

But after taking a closer look at the structure and listening to Grace explain how it works—this person almost cried.”

Paipai described it in an exaggerated way, then looked at Zhe beside him.

"Can you understand? That's the beauty of machinery. While the core of that machine should be the intelligent components, the mechanical parts beyond that are surprisingly simple and exquisite..."

Anyone who has been moved by a four-cylinder engine...will also be moved by Grace's new invention..."

"Wow! What you said makes me embarrassed. This is the first time I've felt this embarrassed because of someone other than Zhe."

Grace's face flushed slightly. It was really a happy thing to be praised by like-minded friends.

"At this point, whether or not to fry the fish is no longer important. I'm just happy to have made a friend like Grace."

"Nice to meet you too! I remember you introduced yourself. You're from the Outer Ring..."

"Bernice. My name is Bernice. I remembered I have something urgent to do, so we'll be leaving first... Zhe, let's go."

I don’t know why, but after saying this, Paipai pushed and pulled Zhe and walked away.

Seeing this, Grace scratched her head in confusion, but didn't say much. Since the other party knew Zhe, she could just go back and ask the latter.

She hasn't found anything wrong yet...

After the two people on the other side walked away, Paipai suddenly sighed.

"...Ha, now the world is peaceful."

Then, like a magic trick, Paipai pulled out the control chip of the fish frying machine from his baggy pants...

"When was it taken away..."

"Shh..."

Paipai put his index finger to his lips, signaling Zhe to keep quiet, and then spoke again.

"Give this thing to the organizers for safekeeping. I'll return it to your lovely engineer friend after the fishing tournament is over."

Paipai seemed to have thought of something when he said this, and added.

"If she asks you how to contact Bernice in the Outer Ring, give her Bernice's contact information.

I'll show up with Bernice and take her for a ride. I'll explain what happened today so it won't cause you any trouble...or affect your relationship with her."

"I understand the logic, so did Paipai intend to do this from the beginning?"

Zhe couldn't help but ask. He was really deceived at that time. Looking at the two people getting along harmoniously, he even thought about finding a time to ask them out together.

By then, this combination of one big and one small will definitely be very good...

"Mechanic geeks understand mechanic geeks best. We're the most stubborn of the bunch. I'm just a truck driver from the outer ring, and I never intended to convince a young genius like Grace with just my words...

Fortunately, I don't need to convince her. I can also protect this tranquility in my own way... This precious quiet time belongs to all fishing enthusiasts."

Faced with Paipai, who had such experienced handling of the matter, Zhe couldn't help but step forward and pinch her little face.

"My Paipai is really amazing~"

"Hehe, come on. This guy just wants to avoid trouble and fish in peace."

"I understand. But when Grace comes to see you later, I'll come with her. I know her personality. As long as I explain it well, she won't be angry."

Then Zhe enjoyed some quiet fishing time with Paipai, and after that, Grace's message was also sent to him.

After a brief explanation, Grace seemed a little angry, but not because of Paipai's behavior, but because Zhe did not explain it to her directly.

"Even though I'm looking forward to winning the championship with the fish-frying machine, I'll listen if you explain it to me clearly!"

But her anger was fleeting, and she immediately began to ask Zhe about Paipai.

Zhe did not give the other party Bernice's contact information, but after discussing with Paipai, he gave the other party Paipai's contact information.

……

The next afternoon, Zhe came to Epis Port again. The competition had ended, but Ies had made a few friends here in the past few days and made plans to act together.

So Zhe came here with it and planned to go back together later. He was thinking that it might not be such a coincidence that he would run into a girl he knew again this time.

The next moment, he saw four figures not far away.

"Oh, what a hassle..."

"Don't complain, I told you before that you can't pass this kind of homework..."

"Then you can help me draw..."

As Airen and Rin were talking, Ruby noticed Zhe walking over.

"Oh! Isn't this Zhe? What a coincidence, meeting you here!"

"Ah ho~"

Ailian also greeted cutely. At this moment, she was wearing a black stocking JK student uniform. The youthful and energetic outfit, coupled with her lazy look, had a unique charm.

"Ah, you guys come here to play too?"

"No, I'm here to redo my final assignment, or I'll fail the course."

"Help her with her homework."

"plus one."

"Plus two."

Ailian spoke calmly, as if she was not the one who failed the exam, but looking at the four people in front of him, Zhe couldn't help but feel a little confused.

"Isn't Ailian usually able to fly at low altitude? Why did he miss this time?"

"It's the teacher's fault for not making the requirements for the final assignment clear."

Ellen pouted in dissatisfaction, and Ruby started to explain at this time.

"To put it simply, we both took art to get some credits, and the assignment required us to draw two animal sketches. But the teacher said the subjects Ailian chose were too simple."

"What did you draw?"

Zhe asked curiously, and Ailian blinked and replied calmly with two words.

"earthworm."

"Very good, it fits the character!"

Zhe nodded. His own round shark always reveals its cute side unconsciously.

"Huh? So that's really an earthworm? It's as big as my arm. I thought it was a snake."

Mona couldn't help but speak at this time, and after hearing this, Ailian, who had been nothing at first, seemed to have thought of something, and his eyes subconsciously looked at Zhe, and then his face turned red.

Chapter 463: Ailian always cleans up carefully~ (referring to cleaning)

But realizing that something was wrong, Ailian quickly coughed twice and turned his gaze back to Zhe's face.

That was just an accidental association, because she had thought it was interesting before and compared it with her own arm...

"Because I think if I draw something bigger, it will appear more serious. But unfortunately I can't draw earthworms, so I plan to draw a fish or something."

Ailian deliberately changed the subject, but realizing what the other person was thinking, Zhe couldn't help but smile.

"So you came here for the competition?"

"Yeah, I thought there would be a lot of people competing here, so we should be able to draw the fish we caught, but we came too late and the competition was over."

Ailen shrugged helplessly, feeling a little regretful, while Rin on the side made a suggestion.

"Let's draw a seagull. If we hesitate any longer, there'll be a long line at the store we've got our eyes on."

"No, it's hard to draw something with legs."

"That's ok, just draw the fish. I can catch it for you."

Seeing Ailian refusing because it was too troublesome, Zhe took the initiative to suggest it, even though she always cleaned up very carefully.

"Wow, Zhe can fish too!"

Ruby looked amazed, and Rin seemed to remember something and couldn't help but speak.

"When I saw the competition announcement just now, I thought it was a duplicate... Turns out that Zhe who won the championship is really you!"

"Should I say he's worthy of being Ellen's boyfriend?"

"Oh formidable."

Compared to the astonished Mona and the other two, Ailian answered very calmly. In her impression, there seemed to be nothing that Zhe could not do.

"The tone could have been a little more emotional."

"Wow↑oh↓~~~~that's awesome~~~!"

This time the emotions seem a little too deliberate, but it's still very cute.

"Anyway, I'll leave the sketching subject up to you! Airen, just to be safe, you need to draw two different ones."

"Ah, no, it's fine as it is."

“No!!!”×3

The three best friends were so determined that Ailian could only nod in agreement helplessly, and then followed Zhe to the fishing spot.

"I heard that fishing here is pretty good."

"Well, don't worry, it will be quick!"

"Hmm...wait a minute, they're still here..."

"Aren't the three of them very far away? Besides, I was just holding hands."

Zhe acted very confidently and did not let go of his hand. Ailian only resisted twice symbolically.

Although the three best friends had not followed her down recently, based on Ailian's understanding of them, they must be watching from a distance.

When Ailian thought of this, he turned around suddenly and saw three figures quickly retreating behind the guardrail.

It was very strange. I was worried that Ruby and the others would feel embarrassed, so I deliberately avoided any overly intimate actions with Zhe in front of them.

But now it seems that they still seem to like watching it so much. I really don’t understand. Forget it.

"Would you like to take home the fish we caught later, Ailian?"

"No, after you catch it, I will take pictures from all angles and trace and paint it when I get home, so don't worry about the fish dying."

It's not like Ailian hadn't thought about taking the fish back, but that would be too troublesome. Besides, if she took it back, it would definitely be taken over by Lina, who was researching new dishes.

Although the jam pie made by the other party tasted quite novel, Lekaan and Xiao Kelin couldn't accept it, so they decided not to take it back.

"By the way, let's go to the restaurant for dinner later, together?"

"Okay."

Without rejecting Ailian's invitation, Zhe cast his rod and started fishing.

Snapped!
