The sickly little one was adopted by a wealthy foreigner and became a favorite.

When Ulan and Wu Yaochen, both covered in wounds, helped each other into the palace, they saw Richard sitting alone on the palace floor.

The tenderness he had shown to Wutu just now had completely vanished.

Wu Yaochen, dragging his dying sister, looked up at Richard.

At that moment, he couldn't care about anything else; he only asked:

"Where's the black rabbit?"

Richard then opened his eyes expressionlessly and approached Ulan:

"What's wrong with her?"

Wu Yaochen replied, "Those people tried to break in just now, and even if my sister had amazing props, she couldn't stop so many people by herself..."

Richard looked at Ulan calmly and said, "She can still be saved. I can help her."

"But have you thought this through? You've already declared yourselves enemies of the human race. Even if I heal you now, when you return to your world, the humans will all see you as traitors."

Wu Yaochen hesitated for a long time. Looking at his still unconscious sister, he could only grit his teeth and make a decision:

"Can you turn us into NPCs?"

Wu Yaochen knew, of course, that even if the two of them managed to get out of this instance today, they wouldn't be able to explain it to the others.

Moreover, his sister has made it clear that she would rather be the bad guy than not protect Wutu.

So if they go out and return to the real world, they will actually face more trouble and more threats.

It would be better to stay here and keep the crow company.

If it were Ulan, she would definitely make the same choice.

Richard understood Wu Yaochen's thoughts and nodded:

"Can."

That was Richard's original intention.

He could see how much the little guy cared about his family, but human lifespan is short and people are prone to death.

So Richard immediately decided to bewitch Ulan and the others into becoming monsters as well.

The little one will be happier with more family members around.

I hope the little one will like this gift.

……

The black rabbit was unaware that Richard had done this for him.

He was immersed in the instinct to devour flesh and blood, to feed...

Only after he had finished eating did he raise his eyes blankly and see Winston holding him.

Wu Tu found herself being gently supported by her father. Even though Winston was now being pressed into a chair by the little guy, Winston's attitude was still like that of a cat or dog that had come over to lean on its owner.

The little guy never expected that he would make such a forceful move without realizing it.

He meowed and cried out in shame, "No! I didn't do that!"

Winston kept trying to appease the little one: "Yes, yes, it wasn't you who did it, it was Daddy's fault."

The black cat was so anxious that it couldn't help but bite its fingernails again.

Winston pulled the little guy's hand out. He was thinking about how to distract the child when Richard returned with Ulan and Wu Yaochen.

The little one was startled when he saw his mother.

"Mommy, Mommy, Mommy!" The little guy suddenly appeared in front of Wulan. Wutu hadn't noticed Wulan's arrival at all while they were in the dungeon.

Now the little guy immediately clings to her, even neglecting his father, who has always been Wu Tu's favorite.

Richard wanted the same result.

Since Winston could treat him this way, could steal the black rabbit, and could let him experience what it's like to be neglected by the little guy, then Richard also needs to find more leverage to let Winston taste this feeling as well.

However, Winston remained focused on the black crow.

Regardless of who the black clown likes or is close to, Winston doesn't care about that person.

He only cares about the crow itself.

He only cares about this one little guy now, and that's enough for him.

When Wutu learned that his mother had become an NPC for his sake, he burst into tears.

Who doesn't know? Becoming an NPC is equivalent to losing your freedom, losing a normal life and happiness, and being trapped in the curse of this bizarre world for life, unable to escape.

And when Mom got hurt, it must have been in so much pain...

But Ulan chose to protect him and stand by his side without hesitation.

This is the real mother the little one has longed for for so long.

She is his mother who loves him the most.

A mother will never abandon her child.

It was only at this moment that the little one finally understood what a mother's love meant.

Like my father's love, it is profound and warm.

The little guy immediately hugged Ulan tightly.

The novelty of the black rabbit hadn't worn off yet; it was practically a natural part of Ulan.

It sticks to everything wherever it goes, a veritable reincarnation of a sticky bag.

Ulan never expected that her child would have such a gentle and innocent personality.

It's definitely related to Winston's upbringing.

The black clown was well protected by Winston.

In front of his family, the little guy is just an enthusiastic puppy.

Even at night, Ulan would still recall the little guy calling for his mother all day long.

Wu Yaochen, of course, was not spared either.

First, as NPCs, they need training. Then, NPCs also need to go to work and study, just like fulfilling their persona and responsibilities.

Then, after finishing his studies and work every day, he still had to come home and act like Andy Lau, taking care of the kids.

Wu Yaochen has now become the little guy's exclusive servant.

However, seeing that Wu Yaochen looked like he had a hard life, the little guy still reached out and gave Wu Yaochen a rating.

This way, Wu Yaochen won't be punished by sleeping in a dark room, nor will he be kicked out to get rained on.

These are all experiences from when Wutu was acting as an NPC alone.

He hadn't said it before, but now he's let it slip to his family.

The little guy thought that's how it is when you first become an NPC.

Unexpectedly, after hearing this, his father, brother, and mother all fell silent.

Only Wu Yaochen chuckled foolishly and said, "That's amazing? Awesome!"

Ulan completely overwhelmed Wu Yaochen.

Then Ulan looked at her child with heartache and vowed to protect him.

So she told Winston and the others about the activities of the humans outside.

"These people definitely won't give up yet. Why don't we let Wu Tu stay in the Crimson Manor, a more difficult dungeon? The other dungeons are too unsafe."

"They'll definitely try to kill Wu Tu as soon as anyone comes in."

Winston and the others heard what Ulan said, but they didn't show any signs of nervousness.

Kailan, who was standing next to her, also came over.

He said casually, "Why are we hiding? We're not as cowardly as humans, bullying such a small child."

"We will not restrict our baby's freedom because of these ants."

"Let them come all they want. My instance is still under my control."

"In such a dangerous environment... do these people still have the mind to care about others?"

Just as Wulan had predicted, these people were lying in ambush in various instances where Wutu appeared, tracking his movements and waiting for him to come to them.

But each time, these people met a tragic end, dying without a complete corpse.

And every announcement from the system sent chills down my spine:

"The Diamond Duel Arena has been upgraded from an A-rank dungeon to an S-rank dungeon; the Rotten New World has been upgraded from an A-rank dungeon to an S-rank dungeon; and the Crimson Manor has been upgraded from an S-rank dungeon to an S+-rank dungeon..."
