Strange Rules of the Game: Starting with Playing Little Grey Wolf!

A series of teeth-grinding mechanical cutting sounds and the evaporating sound of heavy objects falling into lava could be heard.

The world is quiet now.

[Ding! Congratulations, host, for successfully eliminating the chosen one of the Beacon of Heaven (John Smith).]

[Rewards: All attributes +10, Stamina Potion x1.]

[The player has been confirmed dead; the national punishment of the Beacon of Light is about to befall them.]

Su Mu patted the dust off its paws, in a good mood.

Get one sorted out.

Who's next?

He turned around, humming an unknown tune, and slowly walked out of the basement.

Meanwhile, the outside world was in an uproar.

At the very moment John died, the live stream in the United States, which was broadcasting live, suddenly started shaking violently and then turned into a sea of ​​blood-red static.

Immediately afterwards, that cold and ruthless global announcement resounded throughout every corner of the Earth.

[Announcement! Announcement!]

John Smith, the chosen one of the United States, has been confirmed dead!

[Cause of death: Strangulated/melted down by Wolfsburg's defense system.]

[Punishment Arrives: Acid rain will fall randomly across the entire United States for three days, reducing the physical fitness of the population by 10% and depleting freshwater resources by 20%.]

At this moment, the entire nation of the United States mourned.

On the Chinese internet, although the live stream room was still black, everyone was in an uproar.

"Holy crap! Is the US really dead?!"

"The cause of death was the Wolfsburg defense system? Wasn't that where Su Mu was just now?"

"This is terrifying to think about, everyone! Su Mu didn't die, but the American player died on Su Mu's territory..."

"Could it be... that Su Muqian really did it?"

"Impossible, right? Su Mu has that kind of ability? John probably just foolishly triggered the mechanism himself, didn't he?"

"Whether it's true or not, it feels great! Let those foreign devils be arrogant! Now it's their turn to eat dirt!"

……

The next morning.

The first rays of sunlight struggled to pierce through the gray-yellow clouds over the green grassland, falling upon this eerie land.

In the bedroom at Wolfsburg.

Su Mu was fast asleep on the soft bed. After dealing with John last night, he browsed the system store and planned his next "scam" scheme, so he went to bed a little late.

"Bang bang bang!"

A series of urgent knocks woke him up.

Immediately afterwards, Red Wolf pushed open the door and entered, carrying a small pink schoolbag in her hand, with an eager expression on her face that seemed to say, "I hope my son will become a dragon."

"Son! Get up! The sun's already high in the sky!"

Red Wolf yanked off the blanket, ignoring the fact that Su Mu was still a sleepy cub, and picked him up.

"Today is Big Fat Sheep School's open day! Mom went to great lengths to pull some strings with that Slow Sheep Village Chief so you could audit a class!"

"To sit in on the proceedings?"

Su Mu rubbed his eyes sleepily, his wolf ears twitching. "Go to school in the sheep village?"

"yes!"

Red Wolf kept chattering as she dressed Su Mu.

"Your father is useless; he can't catch any sheep. We can't count on him. You need to go to school and study hard! Especially, you need to learn how to tell which sheep is the fattest and which has the tenderest meat!"

"This is what they call... knowing yourself and your enemy, you will win every battle!"

Upon hearing this, Su Mu immediately perked up.

Go to Sheep Village?

Wouldn't that mean we'd get to see the legendary "freaks" like Pleasant Goat and Pretty Goat?

Moreover, according to the information updated by the system last night, it seems that many surviving players from other countries have gone to great lengths to sneak into the Sheep Village in order to avoid the dangers of the night, and some have even become "laborers" or "experiments" in the Sheep Village.

This doesn't look like going to school.

This is clearly a "harvesting" operation!

"Okay, Mom! I will definitely study hard!"

Su Mu nodded obediently, and then gave Red Wolf a quick kiss on the cheek. "I will definitely bring back all...knowledge!"

"Good girl!"

Red Wolf was overjoyed and immediately handed Su Mu a bottle of purple potion.

"This is Mom's special sheep-repelling spray. If any bad sheep bother you, spray it in their eyes! Remember, don't embarrass me!"

……

Half an hour later.

Su Mu, carrying a pink backpack, walked alone on the path leading to the sheep village.

To avoid attracting attention, Grey Wolf didn't give him a gift, but instead protected him secretly.

From time to time, rustling sounds could be heard from the roadside bushes.

Those were survivors lurking in the shadows.

Although the player from the United States died, there were hundreds of people who entered the instance this time, and dozens of them are still barely clinging to life.

Suddenly, a figure appeared at the intersection ahead.

He was a middle-aged man wearing a kimono and thick glasses.

The contestant from the Sakura Country, Meikawa Kuko.

He looked disheveled, his clothes tattered and covered in mud and grass. But in his eyes, a near-mad light shone.

He was staring intently at the gate of the sheep village, muttering to himself:

"As long as I sneak in... as long as I sneak in, I can survive... the rules say Sheep Village is safe..."

Just then, he saw Su Mu walking down the path.

That "Demon King Little Wolf" that appeared in the live stream, riding on Grey Wolf's neck.

Mei Chuan Kuzi froze, instinctively wanting to run away.

But the next second, he realized that the little wolf was actually a person (wolf), and it was carrying a backpack and looked... harmless?

Greed instantly triumphed over fear.

If... if we could catch this little wolf...

Could it then threaten Grey Wolf? Or could it be offered to the sheep village as a "pledge of allegiance"?

Mei Chuan Kuzi swallowed hard, pulled a moldy piece of bread from his pocket, and put on an extremely lewd smile as he slowly approached Su Mu.

"Little puppy... sweetie...do you want to go to the sheep village too?"

Mei Chuan Kuzi said in a coaxing tone, as if he were talking to a child, "Uncle will take you, okay? Uncle has some delicious food here..."

Su Mu stopped and tilted his head to look at this player who was living a good life despite his recklessness.

In the live stream (from the perspective of Japan), the viewers were going crazy.

"Baka! What are you doing, Meichuan-kun?! That's a demon!"

"Don't go near it! Run!"

"Oh no, I think Mei Chuan-kun has lost his mind."

However, the Shetland Sheepdog did not exhibit any aggression.

Instead, he gave a naive smile and even wagged his tail.

"Uncle, are you going to take me to the sheep village?"

Su Mu asked in his childish voice, "But Mommy said we can't eat food from strangers. And..."

He pointed in the direction behind Mei Chuan Kuzi, "And, it looks like there's something watching you from that bush."

Mei Chuan Kuzi was taken aback and subconsciously turned around.

"Whoosh—!"

A huge, barbed vine suddenly shot out of the grass and wrapped around Mei Chuan Kuzi's waist!

Those are the tentacles of a man-eating flower!

"What?!"

Mei Chuan Kuzi was terrified and struggled desperately.

But the vines were incredibly strong, dragging him directly into the depths of the grass.

"Help! Little Wolf, help me!"
