As the steel bars, cement, and bricks flew, Yan Huan's head was bloodied by the shockwave of the explosion.

But he still smiled indifferently.

Because in the Simulated Universe, he had disabled the pain receptors.

Before long, his body returned to its initial state.

After watching the smoke for a while longer, Yan Huan suddenly felt something was wrong.

"Why hasn't the map changed yet? I've already dealt with all three Puffballs."

As he was wondering, someone patted his shoulder from behind.

He turned around and blinked.

Yan Huan froze.

"Dude, why are you stealing my scene?" a humanoid big bad wolf stood behind him, looking confused.

"Huh? What are you talking about?" Yan Huan frowned.

There was a big bad wolf in the Simulated Universe?

The big bad wolf in front of him looked adorably clumsy, and even flashed a "Jian Bao" smile when he spoke to Yan Huan.

"I mean, this is my scene."

The big bad wolf pointed to the collapsed thatched hut behind him, then to the devastated wooden house.

Finally, he pointed to the ruined tiled house in front of him, which had been blown into ruins, and said to Yan Huan:

"I should be the one dealing with those three Puffballs. You're stealing my spotlight."

"Uh..."

At this moment, it wasn't just Yan Huan.

The staff in the space station were also stunned.

Why would there be such a plot in the Simulated Universe project?

Some of the staff had heard of the fairy tale of the three little pigs and the big bad wolf.

It was roughly about three little pigs building houses. Two of them, to be lazy, built thatched huts and wooden houses, which were easily destroyed by the big bad wolf.

In the end, the diligent pig's brick and tile house withstood the big bad wolf's attack.

But the problem was, those weren't three little pigs, but three "Puffballs." What did the big bad wolf have to do with it?

"No, something's wrong," Herta said gravely.

She remembered that there was no such project in the Simulated Universe at all.

There were indeed three "Puffballs," but definitely no unnecessary thatched huts, wooden houses, or tiled houses.

And also... that big bad wolf of unknown identity.

On the screen, Yan Huan waved his hand:

"Sorry, I think I'm in the wrong scene. So, what happens next?"

The big bad wolf asked confusedly, "What do you mean?"

Yan Huan: "I mean, what do you want to do?"

The big bad wolf scratched his head, "There's nothing we can do. This scene can't be filmed anymore. I'm going to the next scene."

The big bad wolf took out a patched yellow cloth hat from his pocket and skillfully put it on his head.

Then, he used a black pen to draw a scar on his cheek.

"Do you know where Sheep Village is? I have another scene with that little sheep named Xi Yangyang, but I don't know the way."

Hearing this, Yan Huan immediately understood.

He took out paper and a pen and drew carefully on the ground:

"Sheep Village, right? I'm familiar with this. You need to go to the Green Grassland first, then find Wolf Castle. From here, go through the forest, and then..."

"Mhm, mhm." The big bad wolf listened carefully from the side, nodding as Yan Huan spoke.

He seemed to be taking notes diligently.

This harmonious scene left the staff bewildered.

"What's going on? It's even about Sheep Village?"

"Is Brother Huan serious? He's actually drawing a map for him."

At this moment, the space station was in chaos.

Meanwhile, Herta quietly stared at the screen, observing the man and the wolf studying the route.

Then, she placed her hand on her earpiece.

"All staff, concentrate from now on. You can begin observing."

The entire space station's broadcast carried Herta's command.

"Ah, what did Miss Herta want us to observe?"

"Observe Brother Huan?"

"No."

At this point, some people had already realized something and were staring intently at the wolf.

"I'm afraid that's an Aeon."

On the screen, Yan Huan had already finished drawing from the Green Grassland to the Gugugu Realm, still chattering away to the big grey wolf, explaining the Sheep Village's combat system and the enemies it might encounter:

"See, your opponents aren't just the little sheep; you also have to be careful of their helpers."

The big grey wolf nodded, only the corners of its mouth starting to twitch.

After a long while, Yan Huan was still chattering, showing no signs of stopping.

He became more and more excited as he spoke.

The big grey wolf beside him, however, gradually lost its smile, as if it hadn't expected the human in front of it to talk for so long.

From seriousness at the beginning, it gradually became absentminded, and then irritable.

Finally.

It impatiently grabbed Yan Huan's hand, stopping him from drawing any further.

Veins bulged on its forehead, and it yelled hoarsely:

"Kid, are you sick? When the hell are you going to finish?!"

The moment it cursed, a fleeting golden-red mask appeared on its face.

The mask disappeared quickly, but many researchers still noticed it.

They all began to observe with solemnity.

Yan Huan shook off the big grey wolf's hand and said seriously:

"Buddy, you can't underestimate them. You have to plan carefully for everything."

"Hehehehe…" The big grey wolf, angered into laughter, its entire wolfish face began to contort.

Suddenly, a fierce wind raged.

The entire sky darkened.

The big grey wolf's figure vanished in the gale, replaced by a strange golden-red energy body, with many masks of various expressions floating on the outside.

Herta, in her office, had a grave expression.

She said in a deep voice:

"As expected, with Yan Huan's methods, the Aeon most likely to be attracted is Him."

Yan Huan stood in the storm, curiously looking at the mass of masks in front of him:

"Old man, are you still going to the Sheep Village?"

But what followed was His wild laughter:

"Hahahaha… Go? Why the hell would I go! You're really something else, you know that?!"

The storm gradually subsided, and He transformed into a human form, still wearing a mask, looking at Yan Huan in disbelief:

"What screw came loose in your head, to actually draw this stuff for me."

He pointed to the ground, at the dense troop movements, utterly speechless:

"How bored do you usually have to be to remember this kind of thing?"

Standing before Yan Huan was none other than the Overgod of the Path of Joy, the virtual body of Aha.

Even the virtual body of the Aeon Aha was constantly complaining about Yan Huan's actions.

This scene instantly stunned the researchers on the space station.

That was the Aeon of Joy.

Even he thought Yan Huan was sick; did this mean he had gained the Aeon's approval?

"Kid, you're carrying my Path, aren't you? Let me see!" The Aeon of Joy directly opened his information panel in the Simulated Universe in front of Yan Huan.

It would have been better if he hadn't looked, but the moment he did, he was rendered speechless.

"This shouldn't be. You're clearly more suited to my Path. Why are you carrying [Abundance] in this virtual world? Can these virtual monsters even make you bleed?"

At this moment, all the researchers gasped.

The virtual body of the Aeon of Joy already knew he was in the Simulated Universe.

Facing the Aeon of Joy's questioning, Yan Huan replied as a matter of course:

"She looked the best in the illustration book. Who doesn't love a fair-skinned, beautiful big sister?"

The Aeon of Joy frowned:

"How can you assume Her gender? Who told you that was a female?"

Yan Huan: "..."

Seeing the Aeon of Joy flip through his information panel, Yan Huan asked:

"You're the Aeon of Joy, right? When did you get here?"

Aha: "When you turned into an Autobot."

Yan Huan: "..."

He sniffed:

"So, right from the start."

"Yep," Aha nodded.
