Newton's FirstSecond Law of Motion - Net Force Vs. Velocity

I am wondering about a question regarding Newton's FirstSecond Law of Motion.

For an object to have a constant velocity, it means the total net force is 0 since there is no acceleration. Does that mean there is no net force at all? From what I think, there is still a net force but it's just 0 because of the forces in all directions cancel out, it doesn't mean there is "no" net force. Thus, I am wondering would it be responsible to say there is a net force, but it is just 0.
