The game is only half finished, and the entire internet is begging for an update!

After a brief silence, a burst of complaints erupted from the audience.

"Good grief! Playing a dating sim requires comprehension of classical Chinese poetry?!"

"Does the 'day and night games' suggest that we don't read enough books?"

"Dude, choose now! This is absolutely the key option that determines your hidden personality or the direction of the subsequent plot!"

Gao Chi glanced at it quickly and stopped the mouse on the third item.

"If I understand correctly, the first sentence is too flamboyant, the second too Zen-like, and the third emphasizes self-consistency and cheerfulness!"

"Perfect, that's exactly the mindset I need every day when delivering food!"

Click to confirm.

A few seconds later, the screen lit up again.

Ning Chang'an opened his eyes and tossed the coin high into the fountain behind him.

The coin fell into the water.

Evening Glow followed closely by throwing out his own.

Two white splashes of water spread out on the surface of the water one after the other, the ripples continued to expand, and finally, the two ripples slowly converged and collided together.

A gentle notification appears on the side of the screen:

The evening glow seems to have decided to repay you.

Gao Chi's interest was piqued upon seeing this prompt.

"Repayment? That's interesting!"

How will a fox repay its zookeeper?

The players behind him immediately started responding with a barrage of jokes.

"How else can we repay this kindness? A fox spirit repaying a debt of gratitude! Isn't the name Ning Chang'an based on Ning Caichen? It's straight out of a ghost story!"

"That's right, this zoo is Lanruo Temple. The fox's first step in repaying our kindness will be catching you a wild pheasant in the mountains tonight to nourish you!"

"Bro, this fox storyline is so engaging! I suggest you stick with it!"

Gao Chi nodded.

After experiencing it all, the evening glow route is indeed the one that best meets his requirements!

Time flew by in the game, and before we knew it, it was already afternoon.

Gao Chi finished his patrol for the day. The other animal areas on the map could still be explored, but he didn't want to look at them anymore. Soon, a game notification popped up.

Today's work is complete.

You can continue to stay in the park and interact with the animals you've already met.

Alternatively, you can return to your accommodation to end your tiring day.

[Animal records have been updated.]

The game automatically saved the next second.

Gao Chi leaned back in his chair.

"I have to say, the pacing of this game is really well controlled. I've only played for a short while and I've already encountered four animals with very different personalities."

But if you had to say which character left the deepest impression on Gao Chi, without a doubt it would be the fox, because he felt the most involved!

Moreover, the fox said he wanted to repay him. How could he repay him?

He opened the map and clicked directly on "Employee Accommodation".

The screen briefly darkened.

In the game, it was already night, and the sky outside the window had completely darkened.

A communication message suddenly popped up in the lower right corner of the screen.

[Evening Glow: Are you home yet?]

Gao Chi raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised.

"You can even message me proactively?"

He opened the communication interface.

In the chat box, the profile picture of Wanzhao is that of a vast ocean.

Ning Chang'an replied with a single sentence.

[Almost there]

At the top of the dialog box, the message "[The other party is typing...]" will immediately appear.

A few seconds later, a new message popped up.

[Evening Glow: Very good.]

[Evening Glow: Spend more time outside and don't go home yet.]

? ? ? ?

Gao Chi was completely bewildered.

"What do you mean by 'don't go home for now'?"

"She's just a fox living in a zoo, and she's meddling in everything?"

However, the next moment.

The scene has switched to Ning Chang'an's dormitory.

The screen has just opened.

"Bang!!!"

A muffled explosion suddenly came from the direction of the kitchen, causing the entire screen to shake violently!

Ning Chang'an stood in the living room, his whole body visibly stiff.

Gao Chi, sitting in front of the computer, also gasped and fell silent instantly.

"Wait a minute."

Gao Chi swallowed hard and pointed at the screen.

"That explosion...came from my house?!"

The game quickly presents three crisis response options.

Go check on the situation in the kitchen.

[Grab the mop behind the door for self-defense.]

[First, send a message to Wanzhao to verify.]

Gao Chi glanced at it quickly, and the mouse locked onto the second item without hesitation.

"Of course! In a situation like this, you'd grab your weapon first!"

"Although I'm a zookeeper full of love, this game doesn't explicitly state that zookeepers can't have safety awareness, does it?"

"This game can't possibly have any combat elements, can it?"

Ning Shuchen picked up the mop behind the door and cautiously approached the kitchen.

Before I even reached the door, a smoke effect appeared as smoke drifted out.

Gao Chi's expression grew increasingly strange.

The kitchen door was pushed open, and smoke filled the room.

And in the very center where the smoke gradually dissipated...

Wearing a light-colored apron, she stood in front of the stove, holding a spatula in one hand and a mobile phone in the other, with an instructional video still playing on the screen.

The chef in the video had just finished saying "hot pan, cold oil".

The pot in front of her had started to emit black smoke.

But what really made Gao Chi and all the players nervous was the other side of the stove.

There was a small pile of wishing well coins, still damp, neatly stacked there. Next to them was a plastic bag printed with "Good Luck Fresh Supermarket". Inside the bag, a plump, live carp was slapping its tail, barely alive.

The character name tags reappear.

【Red Fox - Evening Glow】

Good heavens! This fox cooked for him!

Is this animal even allowed to leave the zoo?!

This can't be some kind of fairy godmother!

Although this fairy godmother doesn't seem to know much about cooking...

When Wan Zhao saw Ning Chang'an rushing in with a mop, she was startled and dropped the spatula in her hand with a clatter.

[Ahem... You're back?]

The voice acting was as clean and crisp as ever, with not a hint of apprehension in his tone.

She pointed to the pile of coins at the wishing well next to her, then to the live fish in the plastic bag, and said matter-of-factly:

I keep my word. We agreed to split the coins in the fountain 50/50, right?

I went downstairs to the supermarket and bought a fish. I said I'd repay you, and I mean it—dinner's on me!

At this point, Wan Zhao glanced at the still-smoking iron pot with lingering fear, her ears drooping.

But... the video clearly says to heat the pan and add cold oil, his tutorial doesn't seem right!!

"Hahahaha! What the hell is this?! Hot pan, cold oil!!"

"This animal actually managed to leave the zoo and sneak into the staff dormitory?! No, I just want to know, how did a fox manage to haggle with the supermarket owner and buy a carp? Didn't the owner call the police?!"

A group of people behind them were talking amongst themselves.

Gao Chi was also dumbfounded in front of the screen.

He looked at the red fox in the picture, covered in cigarette ash and still trying to save face, and then at the terrible kitchen.

There's an unexpected and endearing contrast to it.

The game screen froze at this moment, and Ning Chang'an looked at the evening light.

"How did you get in?"

"There's a spare key at the door."

How did you know?

Evening light paused for a moment.

"Just a guess."

"Generally, the keys are hidden under the floor mat."

"However, besides the fish, this stir-fried pork with chili peppers was already prepared in advance. Would you like to try it?"

After saying that, Wan Zhao picked up her chopsticks, took a piece of something that was barely recognizable from another plate, and handed it to Cheng Yan.

Soon, three options reappeared on the game screen.

Open your mouth!

[Put down your chopsticks, I'll do it myself.]

Refuse to eat objects of unknown origin.
