Chapter 10 The Blessing of the Earth God

Chen Fu didn't sleep very well all night.

He always felt like someone was blowing cold air into his ear!

Is the air conditioning set too low?

Chen Fu thought so, but he didn't want to get up to adjust, so he simply covered his head with the blanket and continued to sleep.

The ghost groom, floating beside him, looked helpless and tried to wake Chen Fu, but he couldn't manage it.

He was unaware that the state of being bound by threads shielded him from Chen Fu's influence.

Until the sun rises, the ghost groom has to leave temporarily and come back again in the evening.

Chen Fu opened his eyes, stretched, and slipped on his slippers to go to the bathroom to wash up.

He glanced at the air conditioner thermostat on the wall; it was only 26 degrees Celsius. Why was it so cold at night?

Chen Fu felt it was due to the temperature difference between day and night, but since it was already September, he didn't pay much attention to it.

After washing up, breakfast was brought over by the nurse. After eating, Chen Fu turned on his phone, but Song Shuangwei still hadn't replied to his messages.

What on earth is this person doing? Could it be that he's been doing something else behind my back? Chen Fu was puzzled and was about to make a call when the ward door was pushed open and a nurse called him to go for a checkup.

Perhaps I'll run into her during the check-up, and I can ask her in person then... Chen Fu agreed and stepped out of the ward.

The inspection process was very thorough, and even though this was just the Bureau of Paranormal Investigation's official statement, it was done flawlessly.

Chen Fu still couldn't find Song Shuangwei.

As it was nearing the end, he saw the man in the black suit from yesterday walking over.

Du Fanyu looked at the handsome young man in front of him and tried his best to appear friendly: "How did you sleep last night?"

"It's alright, but I always feel a chill in the air conditioning." Chen Fu briefly explained the situation, then changed the subject and asked, "Where's the girl who was with me?"

The ghost marriage incident must have made everyone accept the investigation by the Paranormal Investigation Bureau.

If they couldn't contact Song Shuangwei, asking the man in the black suit was the quickest way.

"She had an emergency and has already left. You can contact her by phone."

Du Fanyu replied calmly, not seeming to be lying.

"You left? What about me?" Chen Fu seized the opportunity to push his luck.

If Song Shuangwei can walk, he should be able to too.

"I suggest you stay in the hospital. If something really happens, you can report it, and we'll discuss it and give you an answer."

Du Fanyu's words were somewhat formal; he didn't want the person Captain Zhou had his eye on to slip away.

To dispel any doubts, he took out his phone, added Chen Fu's contact information, and said that if he didn't want to contact Captain Zhou, he could talk to him about anything.

Chen Fu seemed to obediently agree, but he had other thoughts in his heart. After returning to the ward, he immediately called Song Shuangwei.

"Hey, why did you leave me all alone and run away?"

The moment the call connected, Chen Fu began his "deliberate reproach".

"Well, I had no choice. There was a problem with the cadaver, and as a medical student who also knows the amusement park owner, I had to explain the situation in person."

Song Shuangwei's voice was exactly the same as before, and there was nothing wrong with it.

She continued, "Anyway, the police department is giving you free rest, so just stay in the hospital. When you get out, I'll pick you up, and we'll go eat hot pot."

Chen Fu pursed his lips.

What does it have to do with you, a student, if there's a problem with the cadaver? You can't even come up with a proper excuse for lying.

He didn't dwell on it; as long as Song Shuangwei didn't get into trouble, that was fine.

After exchanging a few more words, Chen Fu hung up the phone.

Putting aside why Song Shuangwei was able to leave, getting a vacation is still quite comfortable, and it's a good opportunity to continue playing the game.

Calculating the time, the sixteen-hour physical punishment was over. Chen Fu leaned against the hospital bed, found a comfortable position, and started playing the game.

Today, we will make the bandits pay a bloody price!

The game text remained unchanged from yesterday, but with Chen Fu's arrival, other text began to be generated.

"You opened your eyes, and sunlight streamed through the windows of the dilapidated temple, bathing you in its glow. A new day began on earth amidst beauty and chaos."

"After sixteen hours of rest, you feel incredibly energetic and back to your peak condition, eager to embark on your journey again and conquer this land."

"Future Lord of the Mortal World, your courage is truly moving. I wonder how many steps you will take this time, and where you will perish."

Damn it, can't you say something nice? You're just being sarcastic and sarcastic from the start.

Where are my silver needles? I'll stab you to death!

Chen Fu cursed while playing.

"This time, which direction will you choose to continue the unfinished great cause? Please push open the temple door first."

Based on yesterday's plot, there was no danger in pushing open the temple door, and the bandits wouldn't block the door, so Chen Fu immediately selected the option.

"Looking at the familiar road, a sense of emotion welled up in your heart."

"Yes, you were supposed to leave yesterday, but who would have thought that you, the chosen one, the future ruler of this mortal world, would still be stuck in the same place?"

Chen Fu clenched his fingers, as if he could see a face full of mockery.

Ugh, what a trash game!

"You noticed something unusual outside the dilapidated temple, something different from what you've seen before."

"In a corner, there was a small temple about half a person's height, and it was emitting light."

As Chen Fu looked at the lines of text, he sensed something was amiss.

Based on yesterday's experience, I wondered if being killed at the start of the game was a necessary part of the process?

Otherwise, how could such a coincidence happen that the "small temple" storyline was triggered after resting?

Of course, these are all his own guesses and cannot be verified. After all, it's just a word game, and all the information sources are right in front of him, so there's nothing more to see.

He could only piece together everything in this world called the mortal realm through words.

"You approached the glowing temple. Did you reach out to touch it and observe it?"

Chen Fu did not immediately select "yes".

He then thought of another problem.

If I click, will a bandit jump out of the temple and chop me up?

That's impossible; what bandit could possibly squeeze into a tiny temple that's only half a person's height?

Although the other party emitted a red glow as they died yesterday, judging from their size, it is impossible for anyone who is not a demon or monster to do so.

What if you hide to the side?

Chen Fu felt like he was having a bit of a persecution complex. Since there were no other options, he decided to click on it first.

"You examined the glowing little temple closely."

"You've discovered the blessing from the Earth God."

"The Earth God is a deity in the mortal world who possesses divine power and controls the functions of 'preservation' and 'transfer.' He was the most trusted partner of the former Lord of the Mortal World."

"After the Lord of the Mortal World fell, the Earth God quietly went into hiding, attempting to avoid the disturbances of demons and monsters in this way."

"But he did not succumb to despair. When he sensed that the chosen one was about to enter the mortal world, he set up local temples in various places in advance to wait for the arrival of the chosen one."

"My chosen one, you may receive the blessings of the local earth god by offering incense and making a wish. After that, you will be able to remember the points in your journey and instantly travel to the earth god temple where you offered incense."

"When your footprints have covered all corners of the world, illuminating every earth temple scattered across the land, you can travel freely between heaven and earth, and every step you take will be a smooth road."

Save progress and teleportation point?

Chen Fu quickly understood the function of the Earth God Temple.

According to the game text, you only need to offer incense to teleport, but it's unclear what you'll need to do in return.

"Please select whether to offer incense and light up the earth god shrine next to the dilapidated temple."

Chen Fu thought for a moment. The dilapidated temple was connected to a stone tablet left behind by the gods, which could be used to enter a dungeon. Activating it would make things much more convenient in the future.

Furthermore, he also needed to save his game progress, so he immediately chose to offer incense.

"Incense rises from the dilapidated temple, and land deeds are re-established."

"You lit up the earth god shrine next to the dilapidated temple."

"You have obtained the right to use the Earth God Temple."
