Chapter 174. Zero-distance Contact
Arc 6 : Sci-fi Rom-com Movie Nightmare
Zeus stopped a few meters away from Du Yan and did not get any closer.
Only then did Du Yan realize that there seemed to be an almost transparent barrier between the two of them.
Seeing that Du Yan seemed to have discovered the existence of the barrier, Zeus explained: “Please don’t misunderstand me, because I haven’t passed the final Earth environment adaptability test, so I can’t have zero-distance contact with you for the time being.”
Du Yan knew what Zeus meant. He had just come from Earth, and the bacteria on his body would have an unpredictable impact on the Sagoru people who had not adapted to the Earth’s environment.
He didn’t care about that and said: “You’d better not use the term ‘zero-distance contact’ indiscriminately.”
Zeus was stunned and looked a little confused: “Why? Doesn’t zero-distance contact mean contact between two people without any obstacles?”
Du Yan was somewhat helpless, and for a while, he couldn’t explain to Zeus the double meaning in the Chinese civilization on Earth.
He changed the subject and asked: “Now that we are face to face, explain why you insist on taking me aboard the starship?”
Du Yan didn’t think that the Sagoru people, who had never been cunning, would go further and think that there would be more troubles after Luo Ruoqing kicked him out of school.
Zeus said: “This is the etiquette of the Sagoru people. In the previous room, you have already acknowledged that I am your lover. So, I must give you in person the gift that the Sagoru people only give to a suitable partner.”
Sure enough, Zeus’s thoughts were completely different from Du Yan’s.
Du Yan finally understood why this dream tasted so sweet because the Lord of Dreams was completely obsessed with love, and everything he did was based on love.
Insisting on his own character, Du Yan said: “You also saw what happened in that office just now. I just wanted to use your name to take revenge on those people. I didn’t really admit that you are my lover.”
Du Yan paused and asked: “Even if the purpose is so impure, you don’t mind?”
Zeus shook his head and said: “As long as you are willing to acknowledge my identity, I don’t mind if you have other purposes. As for making those unimportant earthlings pay the price, it is the treatment you should enjoy as the Empress of the Sagoru stellar system.”
Du Yan sighed in his heart. Sure enough, for a love-minded person, everything else except falling in love is not important.
However, since he had chosen to open the app to contact Zeus and let the other party hear the words acknowledging their relationship, Du Yan would not regret it.
Du Yan has a very good impression of Zeus and is not opposed to developing a closer relationship with him.
Because in his mind, Zeus and the dream masters in the previous dream worlds are the same person. They have been through so many dreams together, and they are considered an old couple. There is nothing to be pretentious about.
Seeing that Du Yan seemed to have acknowledged what he said, Zeus’s facial pattern lit up, turning an extremely hot red.
Du Yan now remembered everything, including the moods represented by the pattern colors he learned from the movie materials. The bright red pattern on Zeus’s face indicated that he was extremely excited and nervous, which was completely different from the indifference on his face.
Seeing Zeus in front of him, Du Yan thought of Shao Lingheng in real life. He was a person with few expressions and looked quite cold in daily life.
Du Yan originally thought that he was just a subordinate to Shao Lingheng, which was why the other party behaved like this. The personality Zeus showed now made him feel that Shao Lingheng also had rich inner thoughts in his daily life, but he just didn’t show it on his face.
Otherwise, a person without rich emotions will not be able to express the character’s characteristics in the movie deeply.
Does this mean that many of Shao Lingheng’s actions are not as simple as they appear on the surface but have deeper meanings?
In the few minutes that Du Yan was thinking, Zeus had already prepared the gifts that the Sagoru people would give to their suitable partners.
“This is the etiquette of us Sagoru people, showing the highest trust and respect to our partners.”
Du Yan turned around and looked up. He was stunned by what he saw. The pattern on Zeus’s face gradually lit up. It was a dazzling golden color, like stars, beautiful beyond measure.
The pattern gradually floated out into the air, forming the same mysterious pattern in the air, passing through the barrier, and flying towards Du Yan.
Du Yan was startled, but he did not retreat because he knew that Zeus would not hurt him.
After the pattern touched Du Yan’s skin, it slowly penetrated in. Of course, Du Yan felt almost nothing, he could only see everything that happened through the mirror facing that direction.
He raised his hand and touched his face, saying: “Will I be like you in the future, with the lines on my face changing depending on my mood?”
Zeus explained: “No, this is just to put a mark of mine in your brain waves. From now on, you can share everything I have, from power and status to all my property.”
Du Yan glanced at him and said: “Are you forcing an imprint on me? In Earth’s culture, dating is not the same as getting married.”
Zeus said: “But don’t you Chinese have a famous saying that dating without the purpose of marriage is hooliganism?”
Du Yan glared at him: “Oh? It seems that you have studied Chinese culture very thoroughly.”
Zeus was silent for a moment, and then he spoke with some grievance: “This mark only affects me unilaterally. The Saguru people only have one partner and one lover in their lifetime. If you don’t like it, just leave, and this mark will not affect your life.”
Du Yan still did not give up the plan to make this dream less sweet, so he did not comfort Zeus, nor did he make too many promises.
He just changed the subject: “How should I use this mind imprint of yours, and how can I share your memory and wealth?”
Du Yan was very satisfied with self reaction, perfectly implementing the character of a money-worshiping villain. It is only a matter of time before the cream cake becomes a low-sugar version.
Seeing this, Zeus began to guide Du Yan’s brain waves after being imprinted with the Sagoru pattern.
Du Yan is a very fast learner. After just a few hours, he was able to independently read all the data stored in the Interstellar Optical Brain.
After sharing the rights of Zeus, Du Yan accidentally discovered something very interesting, which is the origin of Zeus’s full name.
In the tradition of Sagoru civilization, they only have their first and last names after birth, and the middle name is given by the partner after they have fully acknowledged each other’s identity.
This information did not appear in the movie, and after Du Yan recovered his memory, he could not remember Zeus’s introduction of his full name for a while.
It turns out that when the app was installed initially, Zeus asked him to pick a name, and this name from him was regarded by Zeus as his middle name.
Du Yan glanced at Zeus with a half-smile and said meaningfully: “Lingheng?”
Zeus’s face froze, and he said: “This is my fault. I had blind confidence in myself at the beginning…”
Zeus directly confessed everything about the seven-day return to the Sagoru stellar system. After all, the Sagoru people never lie, and they will never hide anything from their partners.
Du Yan smiled and said: “From the first time we met to now, it has been several weeks. Do the citizens of the Sagoru stellar system feel that the image of their Emperor as the one who has the final say has completely collapsed?”
Zeus said: “No, all Sagoru people who are in a relationship understand this and have even experienced it. It is an integral part of being a typical Sagaru.”
“……”
Du Yan has discovered that in this romantic comedy, the Sagoru people are a race obsessed with love.
***
As a homeboy who was expelled from school, Du Yan started a new life on the starship from that day on.
Zeus was very busy and had to spend a lot of time on adaptation training to the Earth’s environment. In fact, he didn’t actually have much time to spend with Du Yan.
Zeus expressed great guilt for this and increased the intensity of his training to be able to spend every day with Du Yan as soon as possible.
Du Yan actually doesn’t care about these. After sharing Zeus’s authority, he has a lot to do.
Although Du Yan was going to depart for the Sagoru stellar system with Zeus in the end, he was never one to repay evil with kindness. Of course, before leaving, he would definitely make the Luo family suffer, which was in line with his usual style.
Du Yan was lying on the sofa with his eyes closed, looking like he was resting, but in fact, he was monitoring what was happening somewhere on Earth through the starship computer.
As a Sagoru, Zeus has his own principles and bottom line, and he never monitors Du Yan’s every move. But Du Yan, an earthling, is not so particular, he directly monitors the behavior of the Luo family’s related people.
Just a few days ago, Du Zhiping went to the school to handle the withdrawal procedures for Du Yan, and the matter was finally brought to the attention of Patriarch Luo. Of course, Luo Ruoqing’s Jiujiu, Luo Feng also knew about this matter.
The final result of the Luo family’s discussion is in line with the Luo family’s style of doing things. Since the incident has already happened, for the sake of Luo Feng’s future, it is safest to let Du Yan disappear by accident.
Du Yan’s disappearance can not only hide the past but also avoid the troubles that will come later, killing two birds with one stone.
To the Luo family, Du Yan’s ant-like life is just a small stone that can be crushed and kicked away at will on the road to the Luo family’s upward climb.
One day ago, Du Yan received a very important message.
Luo Feng used some secret means to find a fugitive criminal who was wanted nationwide and had killed many people. He promised to send the other party’s family abroad and gave them a large sum of money.
The exchange condition for these is to let the fugitive go to a place to rob, kill people, and burn them.
The address Luo Feng gave was exactly Du Yan’s address.
After Du Yan got the news, he asked Zeus for a set of micro holographic projection equipment and tried to send it back to his home.
All the arrangements were complete, just waiting for Luo Feng to fall into the trap, and then it’s time to watch the show.
