[ The first thing that Zhongli does after getting situated is set out for a nice, pleasant walk. It takes about five minutes before the "nice, pleasant" part of that plan goes sideways and a tentacle plant manages to grab him by the forearm by surprise. ]

Hmm?

[ He gives it a gentle little tug. Finding that his polite attempt to disentangle does nothing, though, he backs off from trying to do anything by force. What if the plant is venomous? That's... not actually a huge problem for him, but given the state of things, Zhongli wonders if he should be trying to be considerate of the natural ecosystem.

He looks stupidly calm as that tentacle plant begins wrapping itself around his arm in earnest. Maybe you, dearest passerby, can help him help himself... ]

Excuse me. Are you familiar with this kind of plant?

[ But does the riding crop say it all, though? Or the pair of handcuffs, or the cock ring? ... Actually, it does, but one could be forgiven for initially thinking that Zhongli has no idea what he's looking at, based on how his lack of a reaction to the unsubtle sex gear strewn about. ]

If I've understood the situation correctly, I think this — [ he gestures to the nearest sex toy, an anal plug with a lovely golden tint ] — can be taken more as a... suggestion, or provocation, rather than a requirement. We were merely asked to contribute our time, and I was told that there is "no manual labor required". So if you prefer to sit here for two hours... that would not be an unreasonable course of action.

[ Zhongli reads the fine print, always. But. ]

That said, succeeding at a task generally increases the rewards from it. So perhaps it's a suggestion worth responding to...? What do you think?

[ Sure, why not, take a gander into his very normal human eyes, which definitely belong to a normal human. Zhongli isn't shy about protracted eye contact in the least. ]

I look forward to getting to know you. You may call me Zhongli. I'm not sure about the questions provided... [ Mostly because he has no answers to the vast majority of them. ] But there is one thing I'd like to ask. What do you make of this Nameless Island?

I have been looking at this "Auspicious Acts And Acquisitions App" and have several questions about what some of this content is meant to imply, but first of all: what precisely is meant by the phrase "bringing the most fortune"?

[ H-hello? Some terms and conditions, please?? ]
