"President..."
"It's little Xiong, you've returned?"
"I'm sorry, President, I've let you down."
"I already know. Your senior actually predicted this long ago... let the failure be. Just make sure you grasp the next opportunity firmly. You know as well as I do that there are many who wish to join the Student Council. But it's always better to have more of our own people in the council."
"Yes, President..."
"Seize it well. Although you were introduced by that brat Bai Ao, for the sake of fairness, I can only give you all one more chance."
"Yes."
"How is it, are there any decent seedlings this time?"
"There are a few. But... their lifespans are just too short. That kid has 7 points of intelligence, but only 34 years of lifespan. It's truly too little."
"Lifespan? Heh, does that sort of thing have any meaning? Since he's decent, try cultivating him and see. 7 points of intelligence counts as talent."
"Yes, I will certainly do a good job of working on his mindset."
"...Forget it, let Bai Ao go instead. He's the most skilled at sweet-talking people. Didn't you exchange for that Werewolf bloodline because he suddenly wanted to build a 'Werewolf Association' and tricked you into it just to fill the numbers?"
"...But, President, I just heard that because Senior Bai lost a bet to Senior Chang and Senior Sun, he seems... seems to be required to wear a rose wreath and run a lap around the school. Given Senior Bai's personality, he's probably hiding somewhere."
"Haha! Betting against Chang Qing and Sun Qiankun, that guy has always lost more than he's won. Fine, since that's the case, you go and try. Try your best not to let the people from 'that side' get there first."
"Yes, President. Then, President, I shall take my leave."
"Go. Give my regards to Xiao Wenzi and Xiao Zhai."
"Yes, President."
"Notification: 'Freshman' Yin Kuang, your right arm has entered a 'Paralysis' state and will be incapacitated for 4 hours."
The moment Yin Kuang stood on his tiptoes and touched that rose wreath, a notification suddenly appeared in his mind.
Almost simultaneously, he felt as if his right arm had been pierced by high-voltage electricity; it went numb and swollen, and then the entire arm lost all sensation and dropped to his side. Because his right hand had already gripped the rose wreath, it remained in a grasping state due to the paralysis, and as his arm fell, the tug pulled the rose wreath right off.
"Hiss! Damn that wretched woman, she actually placed a 'Binding Curse' on it! This tug pulled out my fur—do you have any idea how hard it is to maintain this hairstyle?" The giant wolf head bared its bloody maw, its terrifying teeth clattering together. "Hey, kid, you alright? I forgot to tell you, the top was hit with a 'Compound Curse' by that wretched woman... but whatever, the wreath is off anyway."
Only then did the giant wolf notice Yin Kuang, who was not even as tall as its eyelids, and spoke.
The giant wolf stood before Yin Kuang, yet to Yin Kuang, it felt as if a massive mountain range were looming over him. Even just looking at it gave him a suffocating sensation that made it hard to breathe, so he unconsciously kept his distance, hoping to alleviate that pressure.
Yin Kuang said, "I'm fine, my right arm is just under a 4-hour paralysis debuff." Then, he couldn't help but ask, "Actually, Senior, you could have taken it off yourself, why did you have to make me do it?"
"What's that, kid?" The white wolf stretched its head forward. "You have complaints about me assigning you a task? It's just 4 hours of arm paralysis, what's the big deal? Fine, since you took the curse for me, I'll tell you—it's a matter of a man's credibility, understand?"
Yin Kuang stared blankly and nodded, though he didn't understand at all.
"Don't just nod like an idiot," the white wolf said. "Forget it, why am I talking so much to a little sprout? Ah! The most important thing is that I'm free now. No more lying here counting seconds to pass the days. Sigh, to think that I, a dignified President, had to turn into a wolf and run around the school wearing a wreath of roses—it feels no different from when I used to hug a utility pole under the girls' dormitory and shout that I was a pervert."
As he spoke, the giant white wolf stretched out its massive body, so much so that even when Yin Kuang tilted his head back, he could only see its chin. By accident, his line of sight passed between the wolf's forelimbs, looking toward its lower abdomen...
So big...!!
"Hey! You brat, where are you looking?!"
The giant wolf jumped up like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, leaning forward and baring its teeth at Yin Kuang. The hot air it exhaled almost blew Yin Kuang away. "Careful or I'll swallow you whole!!" Yin Kuang didn't doubt it for a second given its ferocious appearance.
Yin Kuang's heart trembled, and he quickly lowered his head.
Just because, in that split second, he had suddenly felt as if his entire body had been pierced by steel needles.
As expected... none of these seniors are easy to mess with... I just took a look at your big bird. We're both males, and you're so well-endowed, being shy is one thing, but what's there to be angry about? Yin Kuang thought to himself.
"Hmm?"
Suddenly, the giant wolf's lantern-sized eyes scanned Yin Kuang, then it leaned in close, sniffing with a nose like a black hole. "Kid, not bad. You have plenty of spiritual energy on you. It has the scent of true essence, yet it's not... wait, that's not right. You're a rookie, how could you have the scent of true essence? Could it be..." The giant wolf tilted its head, pondering. "It seems you must be carrying a spiritual treasure. Hey, kid, don't mind showing it to me, right? Don't worry, I'm just curious. This spiritual energy is special, but there's too little of it; I don't have any use for it, nor do I want it. I won't snatch it from you."
Yin Kuang was stunned and said, "On me? I don't have any spiritual treasures. I just have an amulet... my mom got it for me. If you want to see it, Senior, go ahead."
Since only he could use the Kitchen God Amulet, Yin Kuang wasn't afraid of this giant wolf senior—well, it seemed he had the same Werewolf bloodline enhancement as Xiong Ba—he surely wouldn't steal something he couldn't use. Besides, Yin Kuang had his reasons for handing it over so readily. Whether he was proactive or not, the giant wolf would likely get what it wanted anyway; he might as well be cooperative and perhaps leave a good impression.
"Hmm... hmm... not bad, very good. So it's not spiritual energy... but refined divine power. And it's the divine power of the 'Kitchen God'. No wonder the scent is so unique, it smells like cooking smoke..."
Hearing the giant wolf's muttering, a bead of cold sweat trickled down Yin Kuang's forehead.
Yin Kuang hung the Kitchen God Amulet back around his neck, feeling the warmth against his chest, his heart feeling as if it were bathed in sunlight. Mom... and Dad, little sister, wait for me. I will definitely survive until I can stand before you all again!
The giant wolf said, "Kid, you should be grateful that you have a good mother. The hidden attribute 'Luck +3' is a very powerful effect. Furthermore, the 'Selfless Maternal Love' attached to it is even stronger than the Kitchen God's power... so, live well. Otherwise, how could you face them?"
Yin Kuang smiled, his expression firm as he said, "Thank you for the advice, Senior. I will definitely survive."
"By the way, kid," the giant wolf suddenly said, "I find you quite agreeable. You haven't exchanged for any attribute enhancements yet, have you?"
Yin Kuang was taken aback, clearly unable to keep up with the giant wolf senior's 360-degree shift in topic. "I... not yet. And the teaching assistant also said not to exchange for any enhancements for the time being. I think the teaching assistant knows more than we do, so listening to him should be the right thing to do."
"Heh heh."
For no reason, the giant wolf senior bared its large mouth and suddenly changed its tone, saying, "Kid, ahem, as your senior's senior, I have a bright path to point out to you... ahem, a very, very promising path, smooth and unobstructed, a golden road. Interested?"
"This..."
Yin Kuang felt that he truly could not keep up with the thought process of this giant wolf senior; it was far too erratic. Moreover, looking at that expression with the corners of his mouth stretched to his ears, why did he look so much like the Big Bad Wolf enticing Little Red Riding Hood?
The Big Bad Wolf?
Little Red Riding Hood?!
Yin Kuang felt he was on the verge of a breakdown. "Since it is... is the senior's advice, I will certainly listen."
The giant wolf senior suddenly widened his eyes and glared at Yin Kuang. "Kid, what is that expression? Do you think I would lie to you? I am certain you are thinking that I am the Big Bad Wolf tricking Little Red Riding Hood, and you are that Little Red Riding Hood. Am I right?!"
Yin Kuang took a step back, his mouth twitching slightly. "Senior, please calm your anger, calm your anger. With your heroic and majestic bearing, how could you be that Big Bad Wolf? Besides, look at me, in what way do I resemble Little Red Riding Hood?"
"Hmph, hmph!" The giant wolf laughed coldly. "Kid, remember, in front of a senior, the first thing you must do is be respectful, and the second thing is to be honest. Every junior-year senior can easily read your inner thoughts. This time, I will spare you because you helped me once. Next time, I will throw you into the Spirit Cleansing Lake for a bath; I guarantee it will be a memory that lasts a lifetime."
Yin Kuang's heart skipped a beat, and his calves trembled. "I... I am sorry, I..."
"Enough nonsense." The giant wolf senior shook his massive head and said, "I will only ask you this: are you interested in strengthening your Werewolf bloodline? You should know that the Werewolf bloodline is extremely powerful. Among all bloodlines, it ranks near the top. To put it most simply, look at me, then look at yourself. Think about it, one swipe of my claw would be enough to kill you a hundred times over. You freshmen in your first year should be redeeming this bloodline. You can transform into a wolf, all your attributes will increase significantly, and you will have strong resistance to various negative effects. More importantly, in the early stages, the redemption price for the first-year Werewolf bloodline is quite cheap. This bloodline is practically tailor-made for you freshmen. How about it, are you interested? And let me tell you, once you redeem the Werewolf bloodline, you can join the Colored Werewolf Association. This Seat can provide you with a recommendation."
"Oh! Right, I haven't introduced myself yet! I am the president of the 'Colored Werewolf Association.' You can call me Bai, or you can call me President. Sigh, originally the association's name didn't have the word 'Colored' in it, but without that word, the combination of the characters for 'color' and 'wolf' was censored by the Headmaster. However, even if the name isn't imposing enough, the strength of this association is beyond doubt. Hehe, little sprout, having a proper president like me recommend you, you should feel honored."
Unbelievable!
Yin Kuang's first instinct was that the words of this President Bai were absolutely not to be trusted.
There was no other reason; if a senior really wanted to introduce a high-potential bloodline enhancement to a newcomer, they would never talk so much just to point out how good and how powerful that bloodline was. With Yin Kuang's intellect, how could he not understand that this giant wolf senior was clearly trying to swindle him?
One had to know that redemption was a matter of life and death, so how could Yin Kuang possibly act recklessly? Yet, he could not directly refuse, as that would clearly offend the werewolf senior before him.
Therefore, silence was the only thing Yin Kuang could offer.
The giant wolf stared at Yin Kuang with eyes the size of lanterns and said, "Hey, kid, are you doubting me?" In reality, the giant wolf was feeling quite puzzled and conflicted inside. As expected... someone with 7 points of intelligence is not so easy to swindle. Xiong Ba was much more obedient; he was convinced in just a few sentences. Sigh, I can't force this kid to redeem the Werewolf bloodline. That would be too embarrassing. If others found out, they would laugh me to death. Wouldn't that be like human trafficking? But... if I drag this kid to the 'Iron Rooster,' I could at least pluck a few feathers off him. Ah, the conflict, the conflict.
The more he thought about it, the more bored he felt, so he shook his massive head and said, "Fine, fine, believe it or not. Don't come crying to me later, kid. Hmph!"
After speaking, the giant wolf senior wiggled his massive rear and left, swaying from side to side. "Hurry back and change your clothes; a white tailcoat looks much better than white fur anyway..."
What... exactly is this play all about?
