Wolf Pack

"Next, I can consider how to pass the trial smoothly."

Thinking this, Li Wei continued to cultivate the wheat field. When he returned to the camp in the evening, he suddenly saw a gray mist drifting outside the camp. After a few seconds, a figure of a man appeared within the mist. He was about twenty years old, equally thin, but a bit taller than Li Wei.

Undoubtedly, this was the newly arrived player, Penny's fiancé, Sam!

"Sam! You're finally here, I thought you were dead, that's great, I'm so happy."

At this moment, Penny threw herself into the man's arms like a little bird, kissing him madly and showing her affection, likely using this method to remind the new player of their relationship.

The man called Sam was still in a daze, just like Li Wei when he first arrived.

Logically, he should have received a system notification by now, and at the very least, he should have been a little cautious.

But in the next second, Li Wei heard the new player say:

"Who are you? Why am I here? Is this the Main God's Reincarnation World? Are you a veteran? Or an NPC! Why is my name Sam?"

His words came out like popping beans, or a machine gun firing. Penny couldn't stop him even if she wanted to, and her frantic winks were useless.

Didn't this guy see the warning message?

But in the next second, the guy's face turned as ugly as dog shit.

Well, he wasn't eliminated, but there would definitely be a punishment.

Now he quieted down, his pair of terrified eyes looking at Penny, then at Li Wei, then at Phila, who looked indifferent and only showed a kind smile, completely at a loss.

"Sam, this is my Mother Phila, and this is my brother George. From now on, we are a family. It's a pity Father is gone, otherwise, he would be very happy to see us get married and have children, strengthening this family."

Penny tightly gripped the new player's hand, squeezing it until his face turned blue. Penny could now chop ten trees a day, her hands as hard as iron sand palms.

This almost cheating-like hint finally made the new player understand. Although Penny might also be punished for this spoiler, it was probably worth it.

At least until this Sam figured out the core logic of this trial, he was Penny's lapdog.

"Let's go!"

Giving Sam no chance to say anything else, Penny pulled him into the house. Soon after, sounds that were not suitable for children could be heard.

So fierce!

And so ruthless!

This was the legendary "Consort Yu forces herself upon the King," wasn't it!

Li Wei didn't return to his house. He had just finished sowing his crops today. Since there was no fence, he had to keep watch to prevent small animals from digging up the newly planted seeds. Although he wasn't sure if such a thing would happen, it was better to be safe than sorry.

As night deepened, Li Wei lit three bonfires at the edge of the wheat field and prepared plenty of firewood.

Thanks to Penny's frantic logging during this period, there was a lot of firewood at home, enough for several months.

Holding two wooden spears, Li Wei patrolled within the area illuminated by the bonfires. The surroundings were not quiet; insect chirps rose and fell, along with the mournful sound of the mountain wind blowing through the forest. Occasionally, a beast's howl could be heard in the distance. A few bats flew rapidly across the night sky, adding a touch of mystery and the unknown to the night.

Li Wei felt a bit hesitant. This was a communal wheat field, and he didn't need to work this hard.

But the thought quickly vanished because he still wanted to pass the trial. This newly sown wheat field was a favorite of small animals.

And the output from the wheat field was the most important support for surviving the winter.

If he wanted to improve his trial evaluation, he couldn't be careless.

He glanced back in the direction of the camp. Behind the wall, he could vaguely see the light of the bonfires, and the wall itself brought him a sense of security.

That's right, even though he didn't get along with Penny, Li Wei still admired her. Just this seemingly sturdy wall gave him a bit more courage to patrol at night.

As he was thinking this, Li Wei suddenly looked ahead and broke out in a cold sweat.

Because about fifty meters ahead to his right, at the edge of the wheat field, he saw a pair of green eyes in the dim firelight.

Then came a second pair, and a third.

At this moment, the hair on his scalp stood on end. His first thought was ghosts, and only then did he realize it might be wolves!

His third thought was a wolf pack.

But this time, Li Wei wasn't scared to death or paralyzed with fear. He immediately ran towards his own wheat field a few steps away, where there was a brightly burning bonfire and a wooden fence.

And almost the moment he started running, those wolves also coordinated their approach, as if they had seen through Li Wei's weakness.

But they quickly stopped because Li Wei was leaning against the fence, with a blazing bonfire beside him, holding a wooden spear, and looking fierce. At this moment, he was ready to fight to the death.

Shadows flickered constantly on the opposite side, and the wolves were looking for an opening to attack.

But they couldn't find one. Behind Li Wei's wheat field fence was the wall Penny had built, and the entrance was blocked after dark. The cow was also in the shed.

So Li Wei didn't have to worry about his rear.

And this so-called wolf pack seemed to consist of only five wolves.

They stood in a silent standoff for about half an hour. Faced with Li Wei's wooden spear and the blazing bonfire, they finally did not attack and disappeared into the darkness as silently as they had come, as if they had never been there.

Li Wei, on the other hand, was truly terrified.

He didn't even dare to patrol the wheat field anymore, just hiding by the bonfire, ears pricked, not daring to move.

It was a long night, but in the end, nothing happened. Thanks to the three bonfires, no small animals came in, at least none that Li Wei saw.

As dawn broke, the sound of Phila cooking drifted from the courtyard. Li Wei returned then, only to see Penny and her fiancé, Sam, already up and busy in the yard, setting up a brick kiln. They even seemed to want to try building a small blast furnace for iron smelting. It was clear that the potential of a Professional Craftsman was beyond a Farmer's comprehension.

She had already completed the tasks assigned by the Head of the Family, and now it was free work time; all work results belonged to the individual.

Speaking of which, her plan to develop handicrafts had been delayed for nearly half a month. However, the initial losses weren't too significant, and she had even accumulated a batch of fully dried green bricks.

At this moment, Penny was operating with practiced skill. As expected of a Professional Craftsman, this time, it would probably succeed.

Li Wei felt a pang of envy, but could only envy.

Penny's fiancé, Sam, was assisting her, flustered and not quite accustomed to it, but very enthusiastic. He was clearly triggering positive feedback.

Li Wei was quite looking forward to the look on this kid's face when he discovered none of them were Natives.
