The game comes true, starting with the wandering spirits and gods.

The fat woman's previous arrogance immediately subsided somewhat.

"Lele, come back!" Her tone was tinged with unnatural panic.

The long-haired dog wagged its tail and stood there, stunned.

Zhang Wenhao squinted, but saw bright, ink-like characters appearing on the dog's head.

Low-level creature detected

[Use bitterness on it?]

This absurd sense of virtuality is like a game invading reality, turning the dog in front of you into a monster you can attack.

The ink-wash style lettering is instantly recognizable as the same as that in the film "The Master of Fate".

I glanced around at the people in my peripheral vision; everything seemed normal.

He suppressed his excitement and recalled the skill description of "Bitterness".

"It's a low-level item and only works on certain creatures."

Lower level, some creatures...

Does this dog count?

"Use it," he pondered, silently repeating to himself.

[Ding! You have used bitter poison on the creature "dog"]

The next instant, a purple floating line, unnoticed by anyone, materialized out of thin air and pierced straight into the long-haired dog's forehead.

Zhang Wenhao was startled by the sudden scene.

He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the others didn't react excitedly.

It seems that only I can see it.

The dog started fantasizing.

The dog, which had been quite active, suddenly froze in place, its tongue lolling out, and its tail no longer wagging.

It was like a noisy radio that had suddenly been tuned to the right channel, becoming quiet and orderly.

Seeing this, Zhang Wenhao was overjoyed.

Yes, that's it, let's just immerse ourselves in this world of bitterness...

The only drawback is that I don't seem to be able to actively control it to exit this state.

I tried it several times in my mind, but there was still no change.

"Perhaps, the skill level of Bitterness is too low right now?"

That's his guess.

"Lele? Are you alright?"

The plump woman, who was still waving, saw her dog suddenly freeze in place, not responding to her calls, and her voice rose a half tone.

It had suffered the pain of being cleansed, and when it woke up in the hospital, it endured the pain in its lower body and swallowed a sausage that was offered to it.

Now, the pain there has gently disappeared.

So, it's possible for neutered dogs to still be attached to their testicles...?

Another strange and little-known fact has been added to our collection.

"Lele!"

The fat woman suddenly screamed, and the dog stood there dumbfounded, looking like it was about to have an epileptic seizure.

She frantically patted the long-haired dog's back.

"Don't scare me, baby!"

[External interference detected. Illusion state dispelled.]

[Ding! Skill activation completed, proficiency +1]

"Woof woof woof!"

The long-haired dog seemed to be pulled out of the water, and suddenly became alert.

It howled as if waking from a dream, wagged its tail, and regained control of its limp body.

But when it looked at its owner, there was a hint of confusion in its eyes; it didn't know what had just happened.

"I'll take you to see a doctor."

The overweight woman was unaware that her pet had returned to normal; she only felt that its howling still indicated some discomfort.

She picked up the restless dog and walked outside without looking back.

The restaurant fell silent again.

Seeing her flustered state at the end, Aunt Wang couldn't help but snort coldly, venting her anger.

Zhang Wenhao sat in his seat, not yet fully calmed down.

I didn't feel anything when the skill was just released, but now that I've come to my senses, a faint feeling of fatigue washes over me like a seeping dampness.

This should be what is meant by "appropriately expending mental energy".

However, given that it cannot be used on humans at the moment, this skill is still somewhat useless.

Once used, it cannot be actively removed, and its effectiveness in controlling animals is not even as strong as some modern medical drugs.

Aunt Zhang was still laughing along with Aunt Wang, but then her expression suddenly changed.

She nervously grabbed Zhang Wanning and asked, "Did that dog brush against your leg?"

Zhang Wanning nearly slipped off her chair, yelling, "Mom! What are you doing!"

"Don't move, let me see." Zhang Ma's voice tightened. "That dog was acting strange just now, standing there blankly, drooling all over the place. What if it has rabies?"

"No, no," Zhang Wanning said, pulling her legs back and shaking her head repeatedly. "I dodged when it came close; how could it have touched me!"

"You really didn't touch it?"

"I didn't touch it! I kept far away!"

Across from her, Aurora ignored the noise and focused intently on flipping the grilled meat.

It was as if everything that had just happened—the dog, the fat woman—had nothing to do with her.

Then he put it into Zhang Wenhao's bowl.

"This is cooked...you can have it."

Zhang Wenhao's lips twitched.

Would you consider this a genuine "three-no" girl (no money, no job, no status)?

......

After the dinner, Zhang Wenhao said goodbye to the other four and returned to school alone.

The summer wind is sticky and warm on the face, making it feel a bit stuffy.

He opened the game on his way back to school.

【The ancient deity who cultivated himself with a solitary lamp, you have awakened】

The devout incense bearer has already gone to sleep. Before falling asleep, she lit a lamp and cleaned the idol for you.

[Incense Power +5]

[Incense Power: lv2 (117/1000)]

Your mental energy is at its peak; now is the perfect time for NTR.

The scene shifts from the ancient temple to a young girl sleeping soundly on a straw mat.

A slight upturn at the corners of her mouth suggested that the incense from the lamplight brought her peace of mind.

Preparing for NTR...

You used "Transformation" on A-Yun, the incense bearer.

Your soul has entered her seven orifices.

[Note: Clicking the "Rewind" button will send the incense bearer back to the vicinity of the statue.]

[Looking Back: People who carry incense are devoted to the temple gods, and they will always return no matter how far away they are]

Zhang Wenhao was overjoyed, not expecting to have such a backup plan.

In this way, you can explore the map with peace of mind and teleport immediately if you encounter any problems.

A moment later, the image was distorted by the smoke from the lamplight.

A ripple appeared between the girl's brows.

When she opened her eyes again, her eyes were a dull gray.

Her body is now at your disposal.

Would you like to explore this unfamiliar body for now?

After reading the text and looking at the girl's figure in the picture, Zhang Wenhao couldn't help but ponder it for a moment.

We must explore!

Know yourself and the enemy, a hundred battles will never end.

You chose to explore.

Your consciousness permeates every corner of this body.

[Incense bearer: Ayun]

[Level: lv2]

[Destiny: Mortal Body]

[Physical Body: 2+10 (Blessing from the Temple God)]

[Spirit: 2+10 (Blessings of the Temple God)]

[Introduction: An ordinary incense bearer]

So that's what the exploration was all about...

Ayun's interface is very simple.

The skills section is even empty.

"But it doesn't matter, at least I can move."

Zhang Wenhao shrugged.

At first, I felt like a disabled person, and my understanding of the game world relied almost entirely on the narration.

Now, at least we have more freedom to explore the map.

At this moment, a virtual joystick appears at the bottom right of the game screen.

Try swiping, and the girl will move forward, backward, left, and right accordingly.

This is what a proper RPG game should be like.

Pushing open the wooden door and stepping out of the ancient temple, you enter an old courtyard.

However, despite its age, it still shows signs of being maintained and is not entirely deserted.

This was the first time he had seen anything outside the ancient temple.

The entire ancient temple is like a small house nestled in a courtyard.

[Your first time leaving the ancient temple]

Be careful to avoid demons and monsters; they will hunt down any traveler who has transcended the cycle of reincarnation at all costs.

The person carrying incense is in a state of physical transformation, and the blessings from the temple deity will weaken as they leave.
