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

Su Mu crawled toward the sound of the fan.

As it turned out, his intuition was correct. The pipe on the right was now crawling with countless mechanical spiders, each with venomous fangs.

But things aren't going well for him either.

The huge industrial exhaust fan is spinning at high speed, its blades like sharp guillotines, hissing as they cut the air.

To pass through, one must squeeze through the gaps in the rotating blades.

This tests not only speed, but also mental fortitude.

"I'm a wolf! I have an agility bonus!"

Su Mu encouraged himself. He stared at the spinning blades, silently counting the rhythm in his mind.

1……2……3……Jump!

Su Mu suddenly leaped up, his body curling into a ball in mid-air.

"brush!"

The fan blades almost brushed past the tip of his tail, shaving off a few gray wolf hairs.

"Phew...that was close!"

Su Mu rolled twice after landing, and before he could stand up, he heard a buzzing sound behind him.

Several drones, no bigger than the palm of a hand but equipped with miniature machine guns, caught up with us.

"Da da da da da!"

Bullets rained down on the pipe walls, sending sparks flying.

"This is like a live version of Resident Evil!"

Su Mu ran wildly with the box in his arms, using the bends in the pipes to dodge bullets.

Finally, a glimmer of light appeared ahead.

That's the exit!

Without a second thought, Su Mu smashed through the fragile wire mesh and flew out of the pipe.

"Bang!"

He fell heavily to the ground and rolled several times before stopping.

I looked up.

This isn't outside the sheep village, but... the main gate square of the sheep village.

At this moment, the gate was tightly closed.

Dozens of Boiling Sheep mechs and mechanical sheep guards had already surrounded the area. And standing at the very front was none other than Happy Sheep.

Pleasant Goat pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses, looked at the disheveled Su Mu, and a cold smile curled at the corner of his mouth:

"Little Grey, why are you in such a hurry to leave? School's not over yet."

"And...that thing you're holding doesn't look like a textbook from school, does it?"

Su Mu, carrying the box, got up from the ground and dusted himself off.

Faced with this desperate situation, he actually smiled.

"Brother Pleasant Goat, is this how your sheep village treats its guests?"

Su Mu pointed to the box

"I just found this in the lab and wanted to give it to Grandpa Village Chief, but that metal thing tried to kill me. I'm so scared."

"Found it?"

Pleasant Goat sneers

"Found it in a locked room with triple passwords? Do you think I'm that idiot Boiling Sheep?"

"Hand over the box, and I might consider leaving you with a whole corpse."

With a wave of his hand, Pleasant Goat caused the surrounding mechs to raise their weapons in unison.

Su Mu stared at the dark muzzle of the gun, mentally calculating his escape route.

A direct confrontation is definitely not going to work. If those mechs fired a volley, he'd be riddled with holes.

The only way... is that.

Su Mu secretly reached into his schoolbag and touched the red remote control—the "Grey Wolf's SOS Device."

This is the last lifeline Grey Wolf gave him. Pressing it will send out a distress signal unique to wolves, and Grey Wolf will arrive immediately, no matter where he is.

However, using this would mean dragging Grey Wolf into the fray. Facing the combined firepower of the entire sheep village, Grey Wolf, despite his immortality, might still suffer a great loss.

Moreover, and most importantly, if Grey Wolf comes, how will Su Mu explain why he stole the box?

Just as Su Mu was hesitating.

Pleasant Goat seems to have lost patience.

"Looks like you won't shed a tear until you see the coffin."

"Fire!"

"boom!"

Dozens of lasers were fired simultaneously.

Su Mu's pupils suddenly contracted.

Done!

At this critical moment.

The silver briefcase that Su Mu had been holding in his arms suddenly emitted a strange red light.

"Beep beep beep—High-energy attack detected! Defense system automatically activated!"

The box actually talked?

Immediately afterwards, the box opened automatically, revealing no blueprints, but instead... a transparent energy shield popped out!

"Buzz!"

All the lasers that hit the shield were either deflected or absorbed.

Su Mu stood unharmed in the center of the shield, completely bewildered.

This box... is it a piece of defensive equipment?

What about the blueprints?

"Damn it! That's the village chief's prototype absolute defense!"

Pleasant Goat's expression changed

"Don't stop! Keep bombarding it! It'll break when its energy runs out!"

Su Mu realized what was happening.

This box isn't some ultimate weapon blueprint at all, or rather, it's just a decoy!

This system is messing with me!

[Ding! Item detected: Pseudo-Ultimate Weapon (Defense Module)]

[True blueprint clue: Hidden in a compartment of the box.]

"Depend on!"

Su Mu cursed under his breath. But now that he had this tortoise shell, at least he could hold out for a while.

"Since you are so heartless, don't blame me for being ruthless in return!"

Su Mu decisively pressed the red remote control in his hand.

"drop--!"

A blinding red flare shot into the sky, exploding into a giant wolf head pattern in the dark night.

"Dad! Help! These sheep are going to kill me!"

Su Mu shouted at the top of his lungs, his voice so mournful it sounded as if he had suffered a great injustice.

A few seconds later.

A furious roar came from the distant sky.

"Who dares to touch my son?!"

The sound was like rolling thunder, shaking the entire sheep village.

Immediately afterwards, a huge dark shadow blocked out the moonlight.

That's Grey Wolf piloting a heavily modified version of the "Sirius" fighter jet!

The fighter jets were armed with countless missiles painted with skulls, their muzzles pointed directly at the gate of Sheep Village.

"Pleasant Goat! How dare you bully my son! I'll blast you to smithereens!"

Grey Wolf's eyes were bloodshot, clearly on the verge of going berserk.

"That's... Grey Wolf?"

Pleasant Goat's face turned ugly.

"Damn it, how did that mad dog get here so fast?"

"Retreat! Activate air defense systems!"

Pleasant Goat decisively gave the order. Faced with the rampaging Big Bad Wolf, even the current sheep village dared not confront him head-on.

Taking advantage of the chaos, Su Mu, shielded by his shield, strode towards the gate with his short legs.

"Dad! I'm here!"

Su Mu waved as he ran.

Upon seeing his son, Grey Wolf immediately maneuvered his fighter jet to swoop down, extending a giant mechanical claw that grabbed Su Mu.

"Son! Are you alright?"

Grey Wolf's concerned voice came from the loudspeaker.

"No! It just scared me to death!" Su Mu immediately switched to cute mode.

"Hmph! At least those sheep ran fast!"

Grey Wolf spit angrily at the sheep village's defensive structures that had retreated underground.

"We'll settle the score with them next time! Let's go home and have dinner!"

The fighter jet spewed blue flames and carried the father and son into the night sky.

Only in the Sheep Village Square remained Happy Sheep, his face gloomy, staring at the schoolbag that Su Mu had discarded on the ground, a hint of murderous intent flashing in his eyes.

"Little Grey...you're lucky this time."

"Next time, you won't be so lucky."
