Su Ze's gaze fell on the girl's ample chest. 🌷🐙  ♪♟

This was a natural reaction carved into men's genes.

Unless they forcibly restrained themselves, their eyes would naturally drift toward wherever they longed to look.

I think he was just looking at my boobs...

No wonder people said women always knew whether a man had been sneaking glances at them...

That insight was comparable to a blue-grade talent.

Su Ze silently withdrew his gaze and casually asked, "Have you ever been in a relationship?"

Here it comes...

"No." Chen Keqing answered cleanly and decisively, then added proudly, "My family strictly forbids puppy love. I wasn't allowed to date before college."

Relationships that don't aim for marriage are all hooliganism...

I'm not some casual girl. Besides, if my mom knew I was even thinking about puppy love...

Sob, Mom... Mom isn't here anymore...

Thinking of something sad, even the food in her bowl no longer tasted as good.

Chen Keqing hurriedly took two large bites, using food to bury her sadness, as though she was afraid of letting any flaw show...

But I'm already eighteen. Strictly speaking, it shouldn't count as puppy love anymore, right...

Why do I suddenly feel so embarrassed? I'm already this old, yet I'm still refusing puppy love...

My old classmates have all become adults in college by now, haven't they...

Strange. Why did he go silent after asking just one question... So, so awkward.

Silent?

Not at all. Eighteen-year-old girl, I was listening to you talk.

Su Ze laughed inwardly.

"College students can date however they want, right?" After the silence dragged on too long, Chen Keqing had no choice but to find a topic herself.

"Yeah." Su Ze responded.

"I see..." Chen Keqing nodded solemnly, then added, "My high school was really strict. Boys and girls basically had to stay more than a meter apart."

"Is that so?" Su Ze remained stingy with his words.

"My old classmates have all gone to college." Chen Keqing forced herself to say another sentence.

What am I even talking about...

I sound like an idiot. College students can date however they want? Is that even something that needs asking? Chen Keqing, Chen Keqing, are you really that stupid...

You've been on illegal websites and watched countless little movies. You're a fourth-year senior with abundant theoretical knowledge. Don't act like you don't understand anything. It's too idiotic...

When it came to being horny, women were not much different from men.

So Su Ze completely understood Chen Keqing's curiosity about such knowledge.

He could only say that she truly was the girl who had played role-playing games with him in the simulation.

She really did know a lot.

"Can you stop making me come up with all the topics?" After a few awkward exchanges, Chen Keqing said weakly.

"Yeah, sure..." Su Ze pondered for a moment, then asked, "Qin Shi Huang never actually died, all civilizations in the universe are armed hunters, the Bermuda Triangle is a lie fabricated by the news, and used condoms often appear on the back mountain of Su University. Which topic do you want to hear?"

"Uh..." Chen Keqing nearly choked to death.

"I knew you'd want to hear the last one. You've probably been to Su University, right? Do you know the back mountain..."

At first, Chen Keqing had refused to discuss such suggestive topics with Su Ze.

But Su Ze's descriptions were extremely objective and carried no personal feelings.

So Chen Keqing unconsciously got drawn into the conversation, and the atmosphere became much less awkward.

It was only when it was nearly time for Chen Keqing to return to school for class that the hotpot meal finally came to an end...

"Remember to go home with your other classmates."

Before they parted, Su Ze suddenly gave her a reminder like an old father.

"Oh..."

Chen Keqing answered blankly, then turned and left.

That boyfriend-like tone...

Does he actually like me or not? If he likes me, shouldn't he come pick me up? Hiss, could this be that legendary playing hard to get...

Playing hard to get?

Not really.

Su Ze simply knew that Chen Keqing had not completely let down her guard around strangers.

If he really offered to pick her up and drop her off, Chen Keqing would probably refuse...

Besides, he had no intention of becoming some considerate nice guy. His only reason for inviting Chen Keqing out today was to leave some space for this girl in the Safe House.

Achieving that goal was enough.

Apocalypse countdown: 4 days, 5 hours, 30 minutes

The Simulator's cooldown would end at around seven in the evening.

Therefore, he could begin the simulation earlier than on the previous days.

After parting with Chen Keqing, Su Ze quickly returned home as well.

Yesterday's simulation had been very short.

Because the Gold Talent had appeared too quickly.

His original wish to obtain more information had naturally fallen through as a result.

After all, in yesterday's simulations, the longest he had survived was less than sixty days.

With such a brief journey through the apocalypse, it was naturally impossible to obtain enough information about the apocalypse...

So.

Today, Su Ze sat at his desk with paper and pen, clearly writing down the apocalypse information he needed to understand and grasp during today's simulation.

For example...

Just how safe Avalon could be.

What exactly those terrifying and powerful "Contained Objects" were.

The path to becoming an Awakened...

What the six incantations each meant...

All of this was information Su Ze wanted to learn and master.

The Apocalypse Simulator's cooldown has ended...

Once the time came, the Simulator in Su Ze's vision showed that he could begin another simulation.

Without wasting any time.

Su Ze immediately started the simulation.

Doomsday Simulation has begun... Please choose any one of the following three talents as your inherent talent for this simulation! Explosive Drummer (Green): You are exceptionally skilled at using musical instruments. The music you play will increase all attributes of your allies. Running Ace (White): You excel at running. If you enter a marathon, winning first place will be almost guaranteed. Flame User (Green): You can control flames and use them to attack. However, if you do not rely on flames that already exist in nature, your attacks will consume a great deal of stamina.

Three utterly ordinary talent options appeared before Su Ze.

He could not expect useful talents to appear in every simulation...

In fact.

The probability of Gold Talents appearing was very low. Even purple ones were rare.

In the simulations over the past two days, Su Ze had quickly found Gold Talents twice. That was simply because he had been rather lucky...

As for the options before him.

Su Ze set his gaze on the talent, "Flame User."

Although it was only a green inherent talent, having it was better than having nothing.

There was no need to consider the other green talent.

Su Ze had already planned out today's simulation in his mind.

If there was a Combat Talent, he would choose a Combat Talent.

Supportive talents like "Explosive Drummer" could be forgotten...

After all.

He wanted to survive longer in today's simulation and see a broader view of the apocalypse.

Therefore, a Combat Talent was indispensable.

Inherent talent selected: Flame User (Green) Simulation begins...
