Whose General Is This Dog? Wait, Pepe?

With Wen Shiling in the ban position, the pressure on the Yan Huan team increased significantly.

Although they didn't understand Yan Huan's intentions, the Yan Huan team knew that they just had to support him unconditionally.

Since Yan Huan vehemently denied being crazy, they would do their best to help clear his name.

As for whether Yan Huan actually wanted the Aeon of Joy's power, that was outside their consideration.

"Alright everyone, next up is the information provided by Mr. Aha. I hope everyone will share their opinions enthusiastically!" Asta looked at the big screen with her usual enthusiasm.

Suddenly, the screen flashed with a blinding white light.

"Shh—!!"

Everyone present felt a sharp pain in their eyes.

They immediately closed their eyes.

"Autobots, transform, roll out!" A familiar voice came from the screen.

The audience immediately understood what was being shown.

Everyone: "..."

It was clear that this was something Yan Huan had done as soon as he entered the Simulated Universe.

At the time, almost everyone was speechless because the behavior was simply too bizarre.

Why go to such lengths when a normal fight could eliminate the monsters?

"Boom—!!"

A magnificent mushroom cloud appeared in everyone's sight again.

"Magic, activate!"

"Combine, everyone, I'll form the..."

Everyone: "..."

Some scientists in the audience couldn't bear to watch and lowered their heads to play with their phones.

"Is there even a point in watching this? The conclusion is already clear," someone suddenly urged.

"What normal person would solve problems in such strange ways? This is clearly unnecessary."

Without General Wen's participation, the Yan Huan team's strength was greatly reduced.

At this moment, all the Yan Huan supporters clenched their fists. They wanted to retort, but they couldn't find a suitable entry point.

The situation had become passive.

Would their Yan Huan team stop here?!

"Woof woof~ (Wait!)"

Suddenly, a sharp bark rang out, its tone firm and powerful.

"Who? Who's speaking?!"

Everyone looked around. Even Aha and Yan Huan, sitting in the guest seats, were puzzled.

Where was that voice coming from?

"Thump—!!"

A spotlight shone on the edge of the stage!

It was a small, pure white canine, staring intently at the screen.

On its head, it wore a canine language translator and a matching amplifier.

The entire white dog stood out like a valiant warrior!

Everyone: "???"

Asta's eyes widened. Ignoring everyone's gaze, she stumbled forward and scooped up the white dog.

She exclaimed in shock:

"Peipei? What are you doing?!"

The one who had spoken was Asta's beloved dog, Peipei.

Everyone: "???"

Aha looked at Yan Huan in shock:

"You, you even invited a dog, you bastard?"

Yan Huan calmly replied:

"Peipei has always been taken care of by Arlan. What does that have to do with me, Yan?"

Asta hugged Peipei and looked at Arlan with confusion: "Arlan, why is Peipei here?"

"Uh..."

Feeling Asta's questioning gaze, Arlan became timid and explained hesitantly:

"Um, it's probably because Mr. Yan Huan used to feed Peipei whenever he had free time. He fed it pretty much everything we wouldn't give it, like hamburgers, pizza... stuff like that."

Hearing this, Asta's eyes widened. She turned to look at Yan Huan in the guest seats and said playfully, "Yan Huan, how could you feed Peipei that kind of thing?!"

Yan Huan waved his hands innocently.

"What do you mean? It wanted to eat, so I shared some with it. After that, it started coming every day. What could I do?"

"You...!" Asta bit her lower lip, unsure of what else to say.

Just as whispers began to spread through the audience, Peipei suddenly let out two "woof woof~" sounds.

Through the loudspeaker, a translated electronic voice echoed: (Don't I have the qualifications to compete?)

"Uh." Asta was stunned.

It seemed there wasn't a rule against dogs speaking.

"Peipei, are you... are you serious?"

Asta hugged Peipei tightly, tucking her neck as she looked around.

Above, Herta was still slumped over the table.

She was only here to make an appearance and didn't actually handle anything.

To the left were Aha and Yan Huan in the guest seats.

Those two were already amused.

Asta: "..."

To the right was the judges' table. March 7th was frozen in place, while the others remained calm.

"Woof woof~ Woof woof woof! (Master, I'm very serious!)"

"Alright then." Asta awkwardly put Peipei down from her embrace, her heart unable to settle for a long time.

That Yan Huan fellow, he was truly the worst.

"Hmm? Wait a moment."

Asta's eyes lit up. She spotted several stickers on Peipei's collar.

They were Yan Huan's photo stickers, covering the entire collar.

"Peipei, who... who put these on you?" Asta asked, her voice trembling.

"Woof woof~ (Brother Arlan)."

Asta shot Arlan a speechless sideways glance: "..."

"Uh." Arlan took two steps back, quickly waving his hands. "Miss, I, I didn't mean to... It was when I was taking Peipei for a walk, and someone was selling stickers by the aisle. Peipei just went over, and it wouldn't leave if I didn't buy them, so I..."

Asta furrowed her brows slightly and instructed Arlan, "From now on... don't let Peipei run around and don't stick any more strange things on it."

Arlan scratched his head and said sheepishly, "Y-yes, Miss. I'll keep a close eye on Peipei from now on."

"Woof woof woof woof~ (I heard you.)"

Asta and Arlan: "..."

The small, snow-white creature leaped to the center of the stage.

It looked at Yan Huan on the screen, who was in the midst of a dramatic transformation, and retorted to everyone:

"Woof~ Woof woof woof woof~ (Brother Yan Huan doing this isn't necessarily wrong!)"

"?" Asta put her hands on her hips and frowned. "Brother Yan Huan?"

Peipei ignored Asta and continued barking:

"Woof woof woof~ Woof woof~ Woof woof woof woof! (Think about it, if any one of you staff members entered a virtual reality scene like this, how many could resist doing things they normally wouldn't be able to do?)"

"Woof woof woof woof~ Woof~ Woof woof woof woof~ (This is just a normal human reaction. Besides, Brother Yan Huan is different from many people. You see those monsters as enemies, but with Brother Yan Huan's strength, he doesn't even take them seriously, so it's normal for him to relax and do fun things, right?)"

Guided by Peipei's explanation, many people suddenly understood.

"Bang--!!"

Someone immediately stood up abruptly, realizing the truth.

"That's right! Brother Huan can even instantly defeat a Trooper Trampler, so how could virtual monsters in the Simulated Universe make him serious? I'd play around too!"

"Peipei makes a lot of sense. We've been looking at it from our own perspective and completely failed to consider Brother Huan's strength."

From the audience, people discussed:

"From our perspective, if the enemy were a swarm of ants, how many of us would take them seriously? Wouldn't we just step on them or find a lighter to burn them?"

"Exactly, exactly." Another staff member raised their hand. "On my home planet, I used to like pouring molten aluminum into ant nests!"

"See? That's exactly it! Everyone hasn't been thinking from Brother Huan's perspective!"

Instantly, the discussions in the audience became even more fervent, with opinions flying in all directions.

The Peipei, entirely snow-white, sat in the center of the stage, sticking out its tongue, looking very pleased.

"Swish—!!"

Yan Huan also stood up abruptly, excitedly cupping his hands towards Peipei and saying, "General Peipei, what do you want to eat tonight? Just say the word, and I, Yan, will gladly oblige."

"Bah!" Asta immediately scooped up Peipei, hiding it tightly in her arms, and warned Yan Huan vigilantly:

"Yan Huan, I'm warning you, stay away from Peipei!"

Yan Huan raised an eyebrow:

"But what if General Peipei gets hungry? Miss Asta, you're trying to cripple one of my most important generals."

Asta waved her hand as if to shoo him away, saying playfully and with a hint of annoyance:

"Get lost, get lost, get lost..."
