A Psychiatrist's Bizarre Game Journey / Dream of the Mist

"You're the same way! How many blind dates have you messed up?!"

Zhou Ke'er shamelessly questioned the sand between her fingers, never expecting that she was in the same situation.

"What can I do? I haven't had enough fun yet! I don't want to get married!"

Zhijiansha, who usually acts quite rationally in the game, is starting to become more and more like Zhou Ke'er when she encounters this situation in real life.

## Chapter 508, Section 503: What are you thinking about?!

"Wait, something's not right!"

Just then, as if remembering something, Zhijiansha looked at Zhou Ke'er with a shocked expression—wasn't this guy having an affair with Honghe? Why is he being forced to go on a blind date now?

Could it be...?

Got it! It must be because Honghe isn't from any of these families, so their marriage isn't allowed by the elders, right? That means... Zhou Ke'er is just playing around with Honghe?

That's so awful!

Zhijiansha couldn't help but look at Zhou Ke'er with the eyes of someone looking at scum, and immediately took two steps back.

However, Zhou Ke'er didn't care how many steps the sand between his fingers had retreated; it was meaningless to him. Instead, after the initial agitation, Zhou Ke'er gradually regained his composure and began to think calmly.

Although being forced into blind dates seems urgent, just thinking about all the things that will happen next, such as the game's first major event—a disaster with a wide impact and that looks like it will last a long time—makes it all worthwhile.

Given this sudden and unexpected turn of events, the family members will likely lose interest in Zhou Ke'er's marriage plans.

In other words... as long as you can get through this predicament on the spot, then you'll be free to do whatever you want.

At that point, nobody will care about such things anymore.

Just as Zhou Ke'er was pondering to herself, Zhijiansha on the other side obviously didn't just stand there dumbfounded. He also started a wave of "rational" analysis.

Obviously, as long as the premise is that "Zhou Ke'er is a scumbag", Zhijiansha suddenly realized a series of small details that he had noticed but had not paid attention to before - for example, Zhou Ke'er, besides Honghe, is also in a mess with Chen Tian, ​​right?

This can be seen from the last time we explored the main world. Moreover, Chen Tian insisted on traveling with Zhou Ke'er. If there wasn't something fishy going on, who would believe it?

Oh, right! And that guy, Cold-Cooked Rabbit, he and Zhou Ke'er always seem to hate each other, but in reality, they're always bickering and joking around without any barriers, right? Isn't that the perfect template for a bickering couple?!

Even someone as childish as someone experiencing spring drowsiness or autumn fatigue, Zhou Ke'er could take advantage of her under the guise of "helping her treat her mental illness," and now, who knows how far things are going...

But no matter how you look at it, this guy is an absolutely terrifying scumbag! He deserves to be torn apart by five horses!

Of all the women in the team, only she, the perceptive and insightful Zhijiansha, hadn't yet fallen victim to Zhou Ke'er's wickedness. But unexpectedly, he was so eager to make his move on her so quickly!

This child is terrifying!

The quick-witted girl's mind immediately began to work – if the premise was that Zhou Ke'er wanted to make a move on her, then this so-called forced blind date was actually for another purpose! In fact, it was Zhou Ke'er's own suggestion, not something she was forced into!

The reason he acted as if he was very troubled by this matter in front of her was obviously to lower her guard and to make her sympathize with Zhou Ke'er, who was in the same situation.

Just watch, if she's not mistaken, Zhou Ke'er will say something next, making the two of them pretend in front of their parents that nothing actually happened—this kind of cliché may be old-fashioned, but since it's old-fashioned, it means that it's a completely effective strategy in the most likely cases!

Under such a long pretense, who knows if something might actually happen?

I never expected Zhou Ke'er to have planned this far. This wicked and evil bastard is truly terrifying!

If it weren't for her cleverness in handling the sand between her fingers, she would have really fallen for his trick!

Sure enough, Zhou Ke'er seemed to snap out of her reverie, as if she had given it considerable thought, and said to her, "Hey... it seems like this is the only way right now. Let's pretend..."

Alright, there's no need to listen anymore. What she said was exactly what she had predicted!

Hmph, Zhou Ke'er, there's only one reason for your defeat! It's because when we were together in the game, I, Zhijiansha, saw right through your scumbag nature and all your scheming tricks!

With her hands clasped to her chest, her eyes gleaming with wisdom, and the corners of her mouth turned up in a wild grin.

"Why don't you pretend to have a sudden illness and rush to the hospital? Let's get out of here first, and we can deal with the rest later... Hey! Are you even listening to me?"

Seeing that Zhijiansha had suddenly started to make a crooked, war-god-like face, clearly lost in thought, Zhou Ke'er waved her hand in front of her eyes and asked with a frown.

"Huh? What?"

The sand between her fingers finally snapped out of her daze, and subconsciously thought back—wait, what's going on? It's not like what she expected? Zhou Ke'er predicted my prediction?!

Tsk, as expected of Zhou Ke'er, is this some kind of feigned indifference? Hmph, what an interesting man. But unfortunately, I saw through your little trick!

"But I refuse! Why should I be the one faking illness? If we get caught, I'll be in big trouble. Why isn't it you who's faking illness?"

Zhijiansha immediately crossed her hands to indicate "what?" and rejected Zhou Ke'er's suggestion without thinking.

"I have something to do later, so I can't pretend to be sick now..."

Zhou Ke'er sighed helplessly. He couldn't very well tell Zhijiansha the truth, could he? He could only try to gloss over it like this.

A smirk played on her lips. Just as she thought, saying she had something to do later was just a vague excuse to try and brush it off!

However, all your little tricks have been exposed and I've seen right through them!

Zhijiansha felt she had figured everything out, so how could she possibly agree to Zhou Ke'er's request? Of course, she retorted matter-of-factly, "But I have things to do too. I need to go back and play games later! If I get into trouble with my parents because of this, and you get away with nothing, what good will that do me?"

"No...it's your blind date, not your parents'! Just say you don't agree! What are you afraid of?"

Zhou Ke'er finally couldn't help but ask directly.

"How dare you say such a thing? Why don't you just say you disagree? Why don't you just go out and tell your parents that you don't like me?"

Finger Sand was amused by Zhou Ke'er's words, "Come on, when it comes to blind dates, if you can make such a mess of things in front of your parents, we're all in the same boat, so let's not laugh at each other!"

"Tsk."

Zhou Ke'er pursed her lips. Why is Zhijiansha acting like he's been hit by a firecracker today? Is he on his period?

No, this can't go on...

Zhou Ke'er's youth is not over yet!

It seems we'll have to resort to some underhanded tactics!

## Chapter 509, Question 504: Is it too much to use some tricks?

Since arguing and coercion won't work, the only option left is to offer bribes.

Since the Sand Between Fingers also belongs to these families, if Renault didn't lie to Zhou Ke'er, then it means that there shouldn't be any evil spirits in her body either.

That means...

Zhou Ke'er stepped forward, placed her hands on Zhijiansha's shoulders, and looked at her earnestly, saying, "Let's make a deal. If you agree to my conditions, I'll... teach you how to cultivate immortality."

Although Zhou Ke'er himself had long since gone astray in his cultivation due to his evil nature, and the cultivation techniques in the game were all the kind that complemented his evil nature—don't forget, he still has a book that normal people can learn called "Two Years of Qi Refining and Three Years of Foundation Building"!

Anyway, Zhou Ke'er had already memorized that textbook in her spare time. As long as nothing goes wrong, it's normal for her to teach people how to practice Qi.

"Huh? Cultivating immortality... Are you out of your mind? Oh wait, you definitely have a problem with your mind, I asked the wrong question..."

At first, Zhijiansha thought Zhou Ke'er couldn't hold back and was about to make a move, but he didn't expect her to say such absurd things with such a serious face. Did she suddenly have a mental breakdown?

Seeing that the sand between her fingers didn't believe her, Zhou Ke'er stretched out her hand, snapped her fingers in front of her, and chanted, "Sink the Qi to the Dantian, use the Qi as a guide, borrow the fire!"

Then, with a "bang," a small flame appeared out of thin air at Zhou Ke'er's fingertip.

In fact, Zhou Ke'er didn't need to recite incantations—because in reality, he didn't have any spiritual power in his body. The fire-starting didn't rely on magic at all, but on the use of evil spirits.

But to make it convincing to show it to the fingertips, it's better to act like it's real.

"??"

Before she could react, Zhijiansha froze on the spot, blinked, looked at Zhou Ke'er who was playing with fire, opened her mouth, but didn't say anything for a moment.

"Heaven and earth are boundless, and the universe borrows from them to govern all things with qi."

Seeing this, Zhou Ke'er took the opportunity to put two fingers of her other hand together and suddenly waved them to the side. Immediately afterward, a teacup on the table flew into the air without warning and began to swirl around her fingers, but not a drop of tea spilled out.

"So, now you believe me, right? I'm very serious about this deal, and I can't offer a better reward. If you still don't want to, then I'll..."

Zhou Ke'er shrugged helplessly, extinguishing the flames on her fingertips and placing the teacup back on the table. But before she could finish speaking, Zhijian Sha looked excited and immediately grabbed Zhou Ke'er's shoulders with both hands, "Yes, yes, yes! I want to learn!"

"Squeak, squeak..."

Just then, the door was suddenly pushed open, and a voice came from inside: "How's your chat going?"

Before Zhijiansha could turn around, Zhou Ke'er saw the four smiling people (both sets of parents) looking at the two of them acting intimately (?), and then they all gave him a thumbs up. Without waiting for Zhou Ke'er and Zhijiansha to reply, they immediately closed the door to indicate that they would not disturb them.

Seeing this, Zhou Ke'er knew she had been completely misunderstood, and immediately lost interest. She brushed the sand from her fingers, slumped listlessly onto the sofa, and said with a lack of enthusiasm, "Forget it, this is boring. I don't want to teach anymore. Whatever. Destroy it."

"Are you kidding me?! You were the one who suggested it first, and now you're just going to back out like this? No way! You have to take responsibility for me!"

Zhijiansha's eyes widened, suspecting that Zhou Ke'er was deliberately teasing her, and she immediately said unhappily, "Believe it or not, I'll just yell that you molested me?"

"That's great! Does that mean we're definitely not going to make it work? Thanks a lot, thanks a lot. If you need to shout it out, please do so as soon as possible. Oh, by the way, do you want me to find you a megaphone?"

Zhou Ke'er asked very considerately.

With her hands on her hips, Zhijiansha retorted confidently, "No! Wouldn't you have to take responsibility then?"

"Oh right? That makes some sense?"

Zhou Ke'er scratched her head; she hadn't expected this. There was actually this trick up her sleeve.

"So? I agree to the deal you just mentioned. You teach me how to cultivate immortality, and I'll go all out and tell my parents that I disagreed, and it has nothing to do with you."

With a sinister look, Zhijian Shayin stared at Zhou Ke'er, "But if I find out you're lying to me, that you're using some kind of trickery, then I'll never forgive you!"

"Hmm... okay, then that's settled."

Zhou Ke'er thought for a moment and seemed to have no better way. "Stretch out your hand, let me take a look at your spiritual root first."

Although there shouldn't be any major problems, after all... who knows if other people's families have married other "normal" people in the New Era? If some evil spirits get mixed in and they lose their spiritual roots, they won't be able to cultivate immortality.

In that case...

Zhou Ke'er could only treat the evil energy as spiritual power and teach Zhijiansha how to "cultivate immortality".

Fortunately, after Zhou Ke'er used her evil spirit to probe, she discovered that the sand between her fingers did indeed have a spiritual root, and the quality of it was quite good.

Perhaps it's because of the repeated purification processes?

If we keep restricting intermarriage like this, isn't it similar to the royal families of Western Europe in the old era? If we keep doing this... won't any abnormalities occur?

Zhou Ke'er wasn't a medical student or a biology student, so she didn't really know much about this area.

Let's put that aside for now and think about how to teach Zhijiansha to cultivate immortality.

He figured that if he directly told Zhijiansha the cultivation techniques in "Two or Three" and let her figure it out on her own, she probably wouldn't understand it and would likely start to doubt whether Zhou Ke'er had misled her.
