Book 4: Chapter 42: Wolffy? That Was My Childhood
Rhodes Island’s group had sneaked into Chernobog at nine in the morning. Finding Doctor’s location had taken less than an hour. Rescuing her and resting had taken less than an hour. However, the group had spent two hours escaping from Chernobog and another five hours traveling from Chernobog to Rhodes Island.
So...it was time for dinner.
Chen Heng used his communicator to invite Blue Poison, Exusiai, and Texas. He also called the operators who had come on this operation who were free.
Chen Heng ended up having dinner with ten or so people. However, that was not conspicuous, as operators might gather and eat dinner at Rhodes Island’s canteen after an operation ended.
“Exusiai, I’m done with my work, so I plan to visit Lungmen. Don’t forget our agreement.”
Chen Heng was planning to use Exusiai as free labor. Leaving immediately after doing that would be extremely thrilling.
“How could I forget? Rather, I’m happy you remembered.” Exusiai felt happy, as this meant she could bring Chen Heng back to Lateran after visiting Lungmen.
“He Who Knows Fate, are you going to Lungmen?”
“That’s right. Blue Poison, do you want to come along?”
“This...” Blue Poison felt tempted since Lungmen was the bustling capital of commerce. She would be lying if she said she did not.
“What’s wrong? Is something preventing you from doing so?”
“I’m going on a mission tomorrow, so...”
“Then come after completing your mission. I will be in Lungmen for quite a while.”
“He Who Knows Fate, He Who Knows Fate! Do you want me to come with you?” Blue Poison had not agreed yet, but Doctor had already pushed her way over. This woman still had not given up on raising Chen Heng’s Trust value.
What? Are you still trying to conquer me?
“Doctor, you cannot go to Lungmen yet. You’ve just arrived in Rhodes Island and have a lot of work to do.”
“Ah! This...Amiya, can I skip out on those?”
“No way!”
Doctor did not even remove her hood when eating. How badly does she not want people to see her appearance?
Shining walked over with Nightingale after picking her food, then sat across from Chen Heng. “He Who Knows Fate, can you bring Nightingale to Lungmen?”
After Shining spoke, both Chen Heng and Nightingale looked at her.
“After we returned, I sought Nightingale’s opinion. She decided to take the medicine you gave her yesterday. She said incomplete memories mean an incomplete life. I have already told her those were not pleasant memories.” Shining looked at Nightingale with pity and doting.
Blank Never Loses: He Who Knows Fate, you know him?
He Who Knows Fate: For me, he is my childhood. I recommend you watch Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf. It is a cartoon for children.
King Wolffy: How did you know I’m Wolffy? Do you know Happy too? What is this? A mind control device?
I Have a Strong Presence: Please see the group announcements to clarify your doubts.
King Wolffy: Group announcements...
Magus of Flowers: Chen Heng, this is too much. You muted me before I said anything.
He Who Knows Fate: Don’t I know you yet? We’ve been in the same group for some time already. What’s the point of pretending? Who does not know yet?
Magus of Flowers: ...
Queen of Ice and Snow: That makes sense.
17-Year-Old Beautiful Young Lady: I used the earlier moment to check the introduction of Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf. It is indeed a cartoon for children. However, children’s comedy cartoons might result in characters with ridiculous combat prowess.
Blank Never Loses: You found the newcomer’s cartoon already? That’s fast...
Faillen Angel Gabriel: I suddenly realized He Who Knows Fate is different from us. Practically all of us come from animes, games, or light novels. Only He Who Knows Fate alone comes from a web novel.
[TL Note: In case the reader is not clear on the difference between light novels and web novels, there actually isn’t too much difference between them. The main difference is that light novels are picked up, published, and sold by traditional publishing companies, while web novels are self-published and usually free to read. Light novels tend to be more polished, as there is a professional team to help edit, review, and refine the story. It also would feel less episodic compared to web novels, where chapters are released online over a period of time. It is possible for a web novel to be picked up by a publishing house to become a light novel.]
He Who Knows Fate: Is that my fault? I’m not the author. Who knows why I come from a novel—a web novel, of all things?
Iron Fist Teacher: Perhaps it’s not suitable for children?
He Who Knows Fate: How is it not suitable for children? You’d better clarify that.
Lord of the White Night: Violence, murder, human experiments, erotica...are these enough? Furthermore, I feel that these genres would be quite expensive to make into animes.
He Who Knows Fate: Wait, I acknowledge the rest. What’s up with erotica?
17-Year-Old Beautiful Young Lady: I know this. Around chapter 300 or so...
He Who Knows Fate: Hold up. I’m not listening. Goodbye.
King Wolffy: I finished reading the group announcements and roughly understood the situation. Will I get lambs to eat by joining this association?
He Who Knows Fate: You will. How can you not? Do you see the symbol for checking in? The first day gives you 100 points. After that, you get 10 points every day. You can go to the store to take a look. Just 1 point can buy many lambs, which means you don’t even have to do anything every day, and you can get many lambs. Of course, if you use your smarts and take some missions, you can get more points.
