(*´∀`)ノ Conveying the truth of Zero Island to you today.

The forest coverage rate on Purple Island is about 37%, and the concept of living in harmony with nature has been passed down from generation to generation.

Not only are there koalas and wild rabbits in the wild forests, but also wild boars and big snakes.

Be careful when visiting the forest~

·

In the wilderness, the night forest.

A child with an unearthly appearance by the stream, singing nursery rhymes from eerie stories.

This scene would really suit an ancient ghost story, except that the horror often comes from the protagonist’s lack of ability to fight back.

If every horror movie hero had standard equipment produced by the city of Cangqiong, those horror films would have turned into gunfight films; if the ghost movie protagonists were replaced with white-coated university folks, the film could be directly changed to a new plan for “Approaching Science.”

Thus, Gongsun Ce felt no fear at all, only that the creature was quite uniquely shaped, possibly one of the countless concealed gods on Zero Island, one of the so-called “million gods.”

And what happened next made him even more relaxed.

The hooded Miss Chuyun squatted down, eye to eye with the little bean-washing child: “Wandering God, they are guests of the shrine.

If you take the offering and then play tricks, we’ll exorcise you.”

Shiyu Ling’s expression didn’t change, a look of habituation.

Gongsun Ce, a foreigner, could only marvel at the martial virtue of the local witches on Zero Island, daring even to mention the word ‘exorcise’ to a Lord of God.

“Ya, ya…” the bean-washing child called out twice, “But, Linai, he’s unlucky today!

He will get lost, yes, he will get lost before he leaves the forest.”

Unlucky, this was the second time the bean-washing child mentioned this notion.

Gongsun Ce was intrigued and asked, “May I speak with him?”

“Don’t be too rough, this guy doesn’t hurt people.”

After Linai instructed, she stood up, and Gongsun Ce squatted by the river, staring eye to eye with the strange creature.

The superpower user seriously said: “Wandering God, I’ve noticed your voice is very clear!”

“…Huh?” The bean-washing child was obviously stunned.

“It’s the age lacking stellar child actors, have you considered entering showbiz?

With your unique inborn appearance, you’re truly one of a kind; I think quite a few companies would love to invite you for advertisements.”

Shiyu Ling facepalmed, thinking you can really talk nonsense even with a hidden god.

The bean-washing child scratched its chin and grinned widely.

“Ya, ya!

Really?

Really?

You, you have quite the eye!”

“I never lie.” Gongsun Ce said smilingly, “See, someone with my discerning eye knows how to avoid risks—how could my luck be bad?”

The bean-washing child shook its head continuously, laughing: “It’s gray, your contact.

Bad luck, bad luck.” It then flashed those two beans: “Do you want beans?

Do you want sticky rice cakes?”

Gongsun Ce’s hair was indeed gray, but now the programmer he was impersonating was a black-haired man.

He didn’t think hair color would affect “luck”; the gray the bean-washing child spoke of was probably something he was unaware of…

and more likely, the little guy was just making fun of him.

Gongsun Ce asked the witch: “Miss Linai, in Zero Island’s traditional customs, what does it signify if a Lord of God offers food?”

Linai, hands in her pockets, said: “Each hidden god has a different character; there’s no commonality, so I can’t tell you if it’s good or bad.

Wandering God’s character is simple, if he gives you something, he won’t mean to harm you.

However…” Chuyun Linai pondered and added, “If you refuse the gift, the Lord of God will get angry, as many stories indicate.”

Accepting a gift had unpredictable consequences, but refusing would anger the hidden god—he committed this custom to memory.

He then looked towards Shiyu Ling, who, also from Zero Island, remained silent from the start, which he interpreted as disdain.

This glance, however, made him wary—

Beside a large tree behind Shiyu Ling, a gray sleeve was visible, seemingly a part of a garment.

It was either his eyes deceiving him, or someone was indeed standing behind the tree, spying on the events here!

Gongsun Ce maintained his head-turning motion, looking at his companion, “What do you think?”

Shiyu Ling rolled her eyes: “I don’t believe in these things.”

She hadn’t noticed anything amiss.

Neither Qiluo nor Chuyun Linai issued a warning, so…

it was probably the Netherworld Eyes again, letting him see things that ought not to be seen!

The Wandering God was still squatting in front of him, waiting for his response.

In a flash of thought, the superpower user made up his mind.

“Wandering God, I’d like some beans.” He took out an energy bar, a high-energy food supplement from the plane, “But I, a mere mortal, feel embarrassed to just take something from a Lord of God.

May I trade this with you?”

“Ya…” The bean-washing child sniffed it, “Three sticks.

It takes three sticks!”

Without another word, Gongsun Ce took out two more energy bars, placing them in the child’s hands.

The Wandering God happily handed back a red bean.

“You, today, won’t get lost.” After these words, it grabbed a basket and jumped into the stream, drifting away with the current.

Linai bent down, her smiling face reminding him of a little fox.

“You, coming from the city of Cangqiong, really respect the Lord of God,” the lazy witch said.

“It’s a good thing.

Someone who respects the Lord of God like you will have good luck.”
