Chapter 677 Capability Management
Three males and one female, are they wild wolves that recently started roaming the area?

Ai Liang thought to herself.

Next to the horse farm is their own ranch, where they raise livestock such as cattle and sheep.

These livestock weren't raised to sell for money; rather, Feng Chengfu felt that this vast plain was empty and lifeless, so he bought some animals to graze there as a backdrop.

Thanks to this, the cowboys have an additional weekly task of patrolling the mountains, checking for any long-term carnivorous wild animals in the forest.

Therefore, these four wolves must be out-of-town wolves that recently passed by.

As Ai Liang looked at the four wolves, the four big guys stopped and stared at Ai Liang with their green eyes.

To Ai Liang's surprise, they only looked for a few seconds before lowering their heads and turning around to continue moving forward under the alpha wolf's lead, showing no desire to attack.

"Are they full, or have they sensed my danger?"

Ignored by the wolves, Ai Liang was unsure of their intentions.

Unable to understand, he simply jumped down from the tree and chased after the alpha wolf.

Ai Liang didn't feel anything from the jump, but it startled the four wolves that hadn't gone far. After realizing that the bipedal ape was chasing after them, the four wolves immediately scattered and ran in different directions.

The alpha wolf, in particular, ran the hardest.

Unfortunately, Ai Liang was faster and had better coordination than them. In just a few breaths, the alpha wolf was blocked by Ai Liang.

"Awoo... woof! woof woof!"

Faced with Ai Liang blocking its way, the alpha wolf pawed at the ground and the low growl in its throat turned into a raging howl.

But Ai Liang wasn't intimidated by the two roars. He calmly walked up to the alpha wolf and stared at it.

The alpha wolf's originally fierce eyes instantly became much clearer, its barking was suppressed back into its throat, and its proud head shifted to the lower left.

"Awoo, awoo, woo woo woo."

The alpha wolf raised its front paws and decisively lay on its side on the ground, emitting a whimper that was difficult to decipher.

"This action by canines and felines seems to be a sign of submission."

Ai Liang tentatively reached out to touch the wolf's belly, but the wolf turned its head and bit her wrist.

It didn't break through her defenses, and didn't even leave a red mark, but the residual saliva reacted with the air, which made Ai Liang feel quite uncomfortable.

"It stinks! I wonder if there's any water nearby to wash my hands."

Ai Liang pressed down on the alpha wolf's head with her right hand and wiped the drool off her bitten left hand on the wolf's body.

"Speaking of which, besides my physical functions, I seem to have another ability that I can test."

Ai Liang recalled that when she woke up in the morning, she knew in advance about yesterday's schedule.

The physical changes temporarily lessened his concern about the matter, but now that he had nothing else to do, he could use the test subjects in his hands to test whether it was some kind of premonition or reading other people's thoughts.

Ai Liang focused her attention on the alpha wolf that was being pinned to the ground.

……

Ai Liang stared intently at the alpha wolf's head, while the wolf's head beneath her changed from struggling to whimpering softly.

It really didn't understand why this two-legged creature would press it to the ground for no reason.

After watching for nearly five minutes, Ai Liang's brows furrowed more and more: "I can't get to the point."

Ai Liang stared at the alpha wolf, lost in thought, and before he knew it, his body had returned to normal.

"Physical changes can be regulated and controlled according to self-awareness, but that ability is clearly more inclined towards the ethereal soul or consciousness."

Ai Liang straddled the wolf's back, her right hand still pressing down on the alpha wolf's head to prevent it from escaping: "That guy who claims to be a secondary personality said he appeared to help me control my abilities."

Besides physical functions, does he know anything about consciousness? Should we release him and ask him?

'Although I was created to assist you, I am still a part of your consciousness. Isn't it a bit much to only think of releasing me when you need me?'

"...As long as I have the intention to ask you for help, you will appear no matter what the circumstances, right?"

"It's just that your previous attempts to block my consciousness weren't tight enough. If you had maintained a state of aversion towards me for an extended period, you probably would never have seen me again in your life."

Ai Liang was a little surprised: "You're quite honest. Aren't you worried that I'll really shut you out for the rest of your life?"

'I've said it many times, I am the alternate personality that helps you master your abilities and I will not pose any threat to you, nor will I hide anything from you.'

You can take our conversation as a self-questioning and self-answering exercise. As long as you don't intend to deceive yourself, you can get the answers you want from me.

Furthermore, it doesn't matter if you lock me up forever. As long as you encounter danger, I will still wake up from my dazed state. Locking me up sounds cruel, but for me, it's not much different from taking a nap.

To give a simple example of my existence, imagine your hands and feet could talk. They'd cry out in pain when they bump into something, or complain of tiredness when their arms ached. Even if you made them shut up forever, they wouldn't disappear.

Even if you say that, no normal person would feel at ease accepting if their mind suddenly splits open into a voice that can argue with them.

Ai Liang skipped over this topic that couldn't be discussed in a short time: "We'll talk about this later. You should have seen my memories from yesterday morning, right? What exactly was that ability?"

"Consciousness reading, in layman's terms, is mind reading."

"How do I use it?" Ai Liang asked.

'You've only grasped the basics of body control; without them, I can't use your other abilities for the time being.'

Are you implying how important you are?

'Absolutely not. I'm just stating the facts. If you were born with the ability to control all of this, I wouldn't have been born from your consciousness in the first place.'

“Is that so?” Ai Liang ignored the sarcasm in An Liang’s words: “Since you were born for me, can you explain the principle of mind reading, and by the way, tell me if I have any other undiscovered special abilities?”

There's no real principle behind it, it's just instinct. It's like how humans are born knowing how to breathe. Don't ask me why you can't do it, I don't know either.

As for whether I have any other abilities, I'm not sure either. Even the ability to read minds—I only discovered I had this ability after you read the head maid's mind.

"I understand. You're like the Task Manager in a computer system," Ai Liang summarized.

'It's so great that you finally understand me.'

Anliang made a sarcastic remark that was incredibly annoying and I don't know where he learned it from.

"Help me figure out what this wolf is thinking."

No, you'll need to do that yourself.

Anliang rejected Ailiang's request without even thinking.

'You should try to control your abilities yourself, instead of using me as a transfer station for them.'

'You couldn't access the wolf's consciousness because you lacked my intervention—the safety mechanism that could forcibly terminate the program at any time. Now that I've been awakened, you can access the wolf's consciousness yourself.'

Ai Liang narrowed her eyes: "Reading other people's consciousness can be dangerous?"

'Without mastering the use of your abilities, it's possible that you might become overly immersed in other people's memories, experiencing excessive empathy that could negatively impact your mental well-being.'

Ai Liang chuckled: "That's great. I don't consider myself a four-legged wolf."

After saying that, Ai Liang ignored An Liang and focused her attention on the alpha wolf she was pressing down on.

This time, he quickly sensed an unusual fluctuation.
