The good news is that they were lucky; after walking for a short while, they found a place that resembled a village, and they did not encounter any further danger along the way.

The bad news is that they haven't figured out a single rule about this world yet.

Since there are villages, there must be people.

"What an adorable little puppy!"

Wen Ya initially thought the person was talking about Ning Bao, until she was patted on the head several times.

She didn't understand how someone as big as her could be considered cute.

Looking up again, well… okay, the adults here are all over two meters tall, and the tallest is even over three meters. Compared to that, her own size really isn't much different from a small dog.

As for Ningbao and Baigao, their size is probably about the same as a small hamster.

Then, in just two hours, the three of them were adopted by a family. It was clear that although the people here were all physically strong, they were exceptionally tolerant of cute things.

"He looks a lot like Chun-huan, the older brother."

Ningbao licked the milk that the little girl who had brought her back had specially poured for her, and turned her head to speak to Wenya.

"That's really good news."

Wenya was struggling with a large, medium-rare steak. What? You said she just ate? Oh dear, she'd already walked quite a distance; her digestion would be quick.

As for whether being someone else's pet would challenge her self-esteem... Well... Wenya, having eaten and drunk her fill, lay on the ground watching the male owner outside who was carrying planks to build them their own little house.

Not at all.

Ah~ It's time for a nap. When they wake up, their little wooden house will probably be finished.

Even Wenya is taking a nap, so how could Ningbao and Baigao, those two little guys, possibly go out to look for clues? Of course, they'd fall asleep on the spot!

It has to be said that, in terms of mindset alone, Ningbao and her classmates are far ahead of the competition. They don't engage in infighting or internal conflicts; they're completely relaxed. If it weren't for that messed-up timeline, Ningbao would probably still be in kindergarten now, and then, like other children, she would have entered primary school normally.

No one woke them up, and they slept until they naturally woke up. By the time all three of them were awake, it was already past 2 p.m.

Ningbao stretched out a big yawn, but because she wasn't familiar with the puppy's body, she almost rolled over again.

"Alright, Sister Wenya, let's go find the rules."

The husky puppy, now awake and full of energy, is eager to get things going.

Wenya, however, showed little interest in this, feeling it was truly unnecessary. The people here had lived here for so long; they must be very familiar with the rules. They could easily gather a lot of information by staying longer and observing carefully, without needing to risk their lives.

Based on her years of experience watching TV dramas and horror movies, she believes that the more dangerous the place, the less you should try to do something reckless. Trying it could lead to your death; curiosity really can kill the cat.

Moreover, Wenya was extremely experienced in this kind of pampered life. Not long ago, she was a potential wolf king, diligently and conscientiously learning this and that every day. Until she signed a contract with Ningbao…

Her daily routine became this: the first thing she did upon waking up was wait for Mumu to feed her, then she would space out, watch TV, occasionally do some tasks outside to supplement her income, then wait for Mumu to feed her again, then go to the balcony to sunbathe, then take a nap, then continue watching TV, continue spacing out, and continue waiting for Mumu to feed her...

Although I occasionally get annoyed by Ningbao and the group of younger pet cubs that Ningbao has contracted, overall, life is still quite happy.

What? You said Ningbao is the one she's contracted with, so why is Mumu feeding her? What does that have to do with anything? Every single one of the kids in the house is fed by Mumu, and Ningbao is fed by Mumu too.

Wenya instinctively wanted to find a TV to watch, but then discovered a terrifying truth: there was no TV or cell phone in this world!

This was absolutely terrible, worse than being chased by monsters. Wenya lay idly in the yard for half an hour, watching Ningbao chase after a butterfly like a fool for ages. The worst part was that she didn't even manage to catch it, and ended up getting herself all dirty.

Ah, alright, alright, let them look for clues instead. It's so boring. They need to finish the task quickly so they can go back. Wen Ya would rather go back to Ning Bao's mental world and play cards with the other kids than stand around outside doing nothing.

Then, one afternoon passed without any results.

Wenya: ...

If only she had played a few more puzzle games on her phone before, she wouldn't have been able to figure it out at all now.

Ningbao is visibly in a great mood. Although she didn't find anything in the afternoon, she had a lot of fun, and right now she's happily rushing towards the kitchen.

"Sister Wenya, dinner's ready!"

Wenya was only annoyed for a few seconds before immediately following along; nothing could stop her from eating.

After dinner, the little girl led them to the small wooden house that had been built especially for them during the day:

"You absolutely mustn't come out, even if you hear your family members' voices."

A flawless version after careful inspection!

The little girl squatted down and patted each dog's head. Ningbao was especially happy and nuzzled her head against the dog.

Wenya was thinking, "Oh ho, no going out at night, finally found a rule, but it's probably not complete yet."

"One, two, three, one, two, three..."

"Ningbao, what are you counting?"

"Ningbao is counting the number of people. Sister Wenya, look, there are three people in each room. One, two, three, there are three of us too."

Ningbao happily raised her little paw and pointed. Wenya looked in the direction Ningbao pointed, and sure enough, not only were there three people in each room, but every room was also full.

She finally realized something was wrong. Normally, people don't adopt three kittens or puppies at once, right? Judging from the villagers' reactions, they never considered separating the three of them. And the villagers seemed to think that having three of them was perfectly normal.

At the time, Wenya didn't think much of it, only that the villagers were kind-hearted and that they were indeed very good to the cute creatures.

And then there's this little wooden house they're living in now. Wenya used to think this family was kind; after all, buying a pet bed for a pet isn't really a strange thing. But now, looking at this room…

Having a kind heart is one thing, but there's probably also an element of principle involved.

However, with only one family, the observation subjects were still too few. Wenya wanted to go to other houses to see if they were the same, but after looking up at the darkening sky, she remembered the little girl's advice. She decided to stay in the small house and not go out to cause trouble on the first day.
