Book 4: Chapter 43: Chen Heng’s Outlandish Way of Thinking
He Who Knows Fate: Don’t look down on Wolffy for being a wolf. He is someone who can create rockets out of basic materials. Furthermore, those rockets can reach the moon. @Kal’tsit, you can hire him to research the medicine you buy. Perhaps he can reverse-engineer them.
17-Year-Old Beautiful Young Lady: The more comical an anime, the more terrifying the characters, as they would not function on logic.
King Wolffy: I saw it earlier. Mutton is very cheap. According to what you said, I get 10 points for the daily check-in? That means I can get plenty of mutton while doing nothing every day. If so, why should I take missions?
Was Wolffy stupid? Of course not. Could a fool create rockets? Furthermore, his EQ was not low. How could a person with a low EQ successfully woo Wolnie? Wolnie had been a belle when she was young, or so she claimed.
He Who Knows Fate: Wolffy, that’s too shallow. You are the man who wants to become the king of wolves. How can you be so short-sighted?
King Wolffy: What do you mean?
He Who Knows Fate: Here’s a question: Do you want to be the wolf king?
King Wolffy: I do.
He Who Knows Fate: What do the wolves want?
King Wolffy: To eat lambs.
He Who Knows Fate: Are the lambs easy to catch?
King Wolffy: They are extremely hard to catch.
He Who Knows Fate: There you go. Even a smart wolf like you cannot catch lambs, what more the other wolves? Now that you have mutton, you control the wolves’ lifeblood. By then, becoming the wolf king is just a matter of declaring it.
King Wolffy: That does make sense.
He Who Knows Fate: Furthermore, are you only going to set your sights on ordinary lambs? Your ambition is too small.
He Who Knows Fate: Are you joking? Luo Li, Jeanne d’Arc, and Sirin are still children. How can I make a move on them? As for Mo Qingtong, have you never heard this saying: A childhood friend can never beat a sudden romantic interest?
Lord of the White Night: You can’t pick none, right?
He Who Knows Fate: Pick? What is there to pick? Is a girlfriend as fun as games? Is a girlfriend better than a 2D waifu? Can a girlfriend be more interesting than growing stronger? Since they can’t, why do I want a girlfriend?
Umaru-chan: But your clan has been a single line of descent. If you don’t get married, what are you going to do for descendants?
He Who Knows Fate: How is that my problem? Don’t I still have an ancestor? Let him propagate the next generation. In any case, I don’t mind having a little ancestor.
God Sai: This way of doing things...
Kal’tsit: Your strange way of thinking is going to get you hurt. You want your ancestor to continue the family name while you talk about love with two-dimensional waifus? To think you can say such things.
He Who Knows Fate: This should be the case in the first place. That ancestor caused this problem, so he should settle it. He is the reason for the Chen Clan’s single line of descent, so he should work to pass on the family line. What’s wrong? Is there anything wrong with the logic?
Efreet: Although it is logical, I think this way of thinking is ludicrous.
Faillen Angel Gabriel: No matter what, your ancestor is at least two thousand years old already. To think you want him to propagate the family name! If your ancestor heard you, he might even beat you to death for being unfilial.
17-Year-Old Beautiful Young Lady: Furthermore, the stronger one is, the harder it is to have children. Although I don’t know how strong your ancestor is, he should be very strong since he could cause your clan’s luck to be reduced for so long and not recover yet. Your plan might be hard to realize.
Magus of Flowers: Speaking of two-dimensional waifus, don’t Jeanne d’Arc and Sirin count? What about the girls in the association?
He Who Knows Fate: That is to say, you want me to have a relationship with a child less than a month old and a child less than 14 years old. A rabbit does not eat grass by their burrows; romance is forbidden within the office. Furthermore, when a two-dimensional waifu appears before you, she is no longer two-dimensional, so she is no longer a waifu.
17-Year-Old Beautiful Young Lady: ...Alright, there’s no hope for you. Just wait for your ancestor to beat you to death. You are the last descendant, but you don’t want to find a partner. The Chen Clan will be ruined in your hands.
Efreet: Furthermore, your requirements are very strange. You want a two-dimensional waifu, but when they become real, they are no longer your waifus. This is just a never-ending cycle.
He Who Knows Fate: That’s why I say real girls are all the same; two-dimensional waifus are unique. I will have to put in a lot of effort and time to humor a girlfriend. I might as well look at a two-dimensional person and show some care and invest some feelings into them. Furthermore, I can have many in one go. Real girls also bring family problems. I’m already busy enough with the association.
