“… I do not know,” Lun Tai shook his head “Zero City’s location is top secret Every time I coht, sometimes it would be day, sometimes you can see the skies and sooing on Perhaps the sun and sky are artificially created”

“Why are those fellows vacationing here?” Roddy stared at a bikini wearing big-breasted woman as on the beach He stared for quite soaze

“Because this place is safe,” Lun Tai pondered for a while before forcing out a smile “First: when you are here, you will not encounter those Awakened ones who… perhaps you are not aware of this The relationship between Awakened ones in the outside world is not too good Awith unacquainted Awakened ones could potentially lead to a battle for life Surely you understand the concept of killing others for their treasures and equipment”

Chen Xiaolian immediately recalled the incident outside the waterfall before he entered the Mausoleu He nodded his head

“Zero City is very safe Furthermore, it is only here that Awakened ones could truly experience a certain… sense of realism That is because everyone here is Awakened ones Here, everyone can coexist peacefully

“There is another important factor that you probably do not know of Look at this artificially made beach There is a special nickname for this place in Zero City”

“Special nickname? What is it?”

“Sea of Love,” Lun Tai blushed as he smiled

“Sea… of Love?” In that instant, Chen Xiaolian and the other youngsters were all left dumbfounded

“Truth be told, hed He stared at the artificial beach and continued in a low voice “After beco an Awakened, many of them will feel a myriad of emotions from lost, hesitant, irrational and others Additionally… after you become an Awakened, after you understand that this world and yourself… and soher Upper Plane world, a virtual object… would you still have the courage to pursue those so-called feelings?

“When facing an ordinary person, regardless if you are going out, ether…

“Your heart will feel uncomfortable You will alonder: Is all of this real?

“From tieon to cos and could potentially die in any of the someone from the ordinary world would be very difficult

“I heard fro to bed with an ordinary wo it with an inflatable doll

“Under these circumstances, Awakened ones could only somewhat distract the with other Awakened ones like them Only then could they somehow avoid the unbearable illusion of reality and pretence

“Awakened ones are lonely beings, that loneliness becomes even more pronounced for those who do not have their other half

“That is akened ones tend to only accept other Awakened ones as their other half – this Zero City is the safest place to be Thus, Awakened couples would often be acquainted with one another thanks to this place

“The cafes along this southern residential district riverbank and that artificial beach are the best place for Awakened ones tothat, Lun Tai looked at Chen Xiaolian before turning to Roddy “Guild Leader has no such need But, Roddy and Xiaolei, if you two are fine with it, then tonight I will bring you two for a cup of wine in the riverbank’s pub Perhaps, you will have a memorable encounter there”

Roddy’s eyes suddenly flashed out! He discarded the thoughts about o now?”
