Touching Grass Gu

Touching Grass Gu was a legendary Gu described in 'The Legends of Ren Zu.'

After Ren Zu had managed to escape from the peril of the Predicaments by giving his heart to Hope Gu, lacking any relevant job qualifications, he found himself unemployed. 

He soon managed to find some work as a Discord Moderator with some of the servers managed by the variant humans.

And so, he spent his time in a cave, all by himself, moderating things and eating beesechurgers as he grew fatter and lazier.

Soon, he had managed to cultivate and rizz up Diabeetus Gu, Hypertension Gu, Obesity Gu, and Cholesterol Gu.

"Yummy!" Diabeetus Gu said as it began munching on one of the leftover beesechurgers. "Ayo fam, can we get more of these?"

"No problem," Ren Zu said, calling for another delivery of beesechurgers. 

Needless to say, Hope Gu was not happy with all of this. 

"Ayo, Ren Zu," Hope Gu said. "You sure this is all you wanna be doing with your life? Sitting here until you die of a heart attack?"

"Don't listen to him," Complacency Gu, which had just recently emerged, said. "If you go out, you'll just end up getting into another risky situation. Best to just sit here, and be safe, you know what I mean?"

"That's right," Ren Zu said, relaxing and ignoring Hope Gu entirely.

Months passed like this, and by then Hope Gu had practically given up all hope on Ren Zu ever changing. 

However, circumstances can always change. One day, there was a huge commotion outside of the cave that Ren Zu was dwelling in. 

"What's going on?" Ren Zu wondered. Why were there so many angry wild Gu worms near the entrance?

"I think your new resident did something," Hope Gu said.

"Ragebait Gu," Ren Zu said, turning to Ragebait Gu. "What's going on?"

"Oh, I don't know," Ragebait Gu said. "I just shared my opinion on the Internet. Why would that make all those wild Gu so angry?"

"What kind of opinion was it?" Ren Zu asked. 

"Oh, you know, nothing controversial, just an average milquetoast opinion," Ragebait Gu said.

"Lemme see..." Ren Zu said. 

"Guys, I think we need to lower the age of consent. If she's old enough to count, she's old enough to mount, right?" - a post by Ragebait Gu under Ren Zu's username (as a Discord Mod). 

"Why are you trying to strangle me bruh?" Ragebait Gu screamed as Ren Zu started to squeeze it so hard it felt like its eyes were going to pop out of its head. "I was just tryin' to ask a question, I didn't mean anything by that!"

"Because of you, a horde of Terminally Online Gu, Cancellation Gu, Twitter Mob Gu, and Redditor Gu are outside of the cave, waiting to attack me!" Ren Zu screamed. "What do I do?"

"There is one way out of this," Hope Gu said. "Right over there - do you see that?"

"A toilet?"

"Not just a toilet, but a Skibidi Toilet," Hope Gu said. "If you can use it to refine Brainrot Gu, you can deal with the wild Gu outside."

"Alright," Ren Zu said, quickly using various TikTok reels to refine Brainrot Gu. 

"Ren Zu! Apologize for your actions and then we'll kill you!" Cancellation Gu yelled out.

"Don't you mean or we'll kill you?"

"No!" Cancellation Gu said. "Apologize first and then we'll kill you!"

With no choice, Ren Zu activated Brainrot Gu.

Within seconds, the attention spans of the attackers had gone to 0.069 (nice!) seconds. They couldn't even remember why they were here in the first place, and soon left the place, having forgotten about the whole ordeal.

Unfortunately, Ren Zu had not been spared from the effects of the Brainrot Gu. He couldn't even do his job - that was just how much the brainrot had affected him. "Ayo guys, what were we doing just a while ago?"

Hope Gu sighed. "Ren Zu, you've been permanently addled by Brainrot Gu. The only way to escape its influence is to refine Touching Grass Gu."

Unfortunately, by then, Ren Zu had already forgotten what his question was. "Gosh, what should we do next?"

Hope Gu, seeing only one way out of this, said, "Hey, try going outside."

"Outside?" Ren Zu said, now scared. Outside was away from his computer and video games, did they even have beesechurger deliveries in the outside world?

Actually, come to think of it, he had come from outside once. He just couldn't remember it.

Eventually, after days spent in the darkness of the cave, it began to smell too much for even him to handle and he went out.

"What is that?" Ren Zu wondered, gazing up.

"That's called the sky," Hope Gu said. "Now look! Over there! There's grass! Just touch it, and you'll refine Touching Grass Gu!"

"Grass?" Ren Zu wondered, wandering over to the area on the ground where there was something... very odd. "What is that? What is this odd green stuff on the dirt?" He approached the field of grass like it was a venomous snake. 

Hope Gu sighed. The effects of Brainrot Gu still persisted. "That's grass. Go touch it."

"Grass? You mean like weed?" Ren Zu asked, remembering fond memories of getting baked in his cave.

"No!" Hope Gu said, all of its hope almost completely gone by now as Ren Zu had been so exposed to Brainrot that he couldn't keep attention on anything for longer than a few seconds. 

"Hmm," Ren Zu said, finally extending his hand. "Is it poisonous?"

"No," Hope Gu said.

"Wait, this actually feels kinda nice," Ren Zu said, gently picking up a single blade of grass. "Come to think of it, I think I do remember what this is." He tenderly put his hand on the grass. "Hmm, it doesn't hurt me when I touch it."

Once he was done, a Gu worm popped out of the grass.

Touching Grass Gu!

With its help, the effects of Brainrot Gu were eliminated, and clarity finally returned to Ren Zu. Brainrot Gu then flew off, not wanting to be associated with Touching Grass Gu. 

"Ayo, I've been wasting so much of my time and life doing brainrot stuff!" Ren Zu realized.

"Finally!" Hope Gu said. "Now, maybe we can finally achieve something..."
