Doghead

In the end.

This Level 1 treasure chest still fell into Lu Xingyuan's hands.

Bai Xiao was not the kind of man who indulged women.

Lu Xingyuan was even less so.

Still, he could not help but sigh inwardly.

Sister Qing really was the best.

They were both women, so why was the difference so huge?

Sister Qing was truly loyal!

Zhao Rui was furious, but there was nothing she could do.

She knew very well how great the gap was between herself and Lu Xingyuan and Bai Xiao.

She could barely handle even one of them, let alone make enemies of both.

She silently remembered this grudge in her heart.

"Then I get first pick of the treasure chests. You don't have any objections, right?"

Bai Xiao thought about it and decided to forget it. He could not be bothered arguing with her any longer. What was the harm in letting her choose first?

But after Zhao Rui made her selection, she set her sights on the treasure chest in Lu Xingyuan's hands, feeling that her own chest did not seem as good as his.

Lu Xingyuan had no intention of indulging her.

She had made her own choice. Who could she blame?

Zhao Rui gritted her teeth in anger.

Just then, she caught a glimpse of a figure hidden in the darkness and jumped in fright.

"There's a monster!"

Instinctively, she summoned the chains, displaying intense hostility.

Lu Xingyuan's eyelids twitched.

He clearly remembered what Gu Wanqing had said.

This Doghead was a terrifying existence at least Level 5 or higher!

Zhao Rui had better not get herself killed!

Bai Xiao noticed it too, and his expression changed slightly. Just as he was about to say something, he saw Lu Xingyuan raise a hand to stop them.

"Don't be nervous. It's a neutral creature and won't attack us on its own."

A neutral creature?

Bai Xiao was surprised and curious at the same time.

How did Lu Xingyuan know all this?

Still, he believed Lu Xingyuan.

After all, no matter what, Lu Xingyuan would not joke around with his own life.

Lu Xingyuan was nervous too.

No matter how you put it, this was a terrifying existence above Level 5!

If it happened to be in a bad mood, he would not even be able to escape.

But he still chose to trust Gu Wanqing.

Don't ask. The answer was loyalty.

He cautiously stepped toward the Doghead.

At last, he saw what it looked like clearly.

It was a humanoid creature with an enormous dog's head.

Its entire body was covered in thick, dense fur.

Its head looked somewhat like a Labrador's, and its gaze was profound.

For some reason, Lu Xingyuan read a faint, inexplicable sorrow in its eyes.

"Oh, another Train Conductor has arrived."

The Doghead spoke.

It slightly lifted its eyelids, glanced at Lu Xingyuan, then yawned.

It really would not attack him on its own.

"Great Doghead General."

Lu Xingyuan cleared his throat, trying to make his tone sound as sincere as possible.

"Oh? You've heard of my story too?"

The Doghead perked up slightly.

"Of course I have."

Lu Xingyuan inwardly grumbled, Who doesn't know you're an expert at hiding in the top-lane brush and leeching experience? And you keep saying to give you another thirty minutes, then you'll make the whole match explode.

After a brief round of flattery, Lu Xingyuan got to the point and took out the stir-fried mushrooms he had prepared in advance from his Spatial Bracelet.

At once, a rich mushroom fragrance spread out with savage force, powerfully burrowing into everyone's nostrils and constantly stimulating their taste buds.

Even Bai Xiao and Zhao Rui could not stop themselves from swallowing, let alone the Doghead, which was born greedy for food.

It jolted, instantly sprang to its feet, then rushed madly in front of Lu Xingyuan. Its dog eyes widened as it stared fixedly at the stir-fried mushrooms before it, not blinking for a long while.

A drip-drip sound rang out. Tears had flowed uncontrollably from the corners of its mouth, cascading like a waterfall.

"General Doghead..."

Lu Xingyuan tried his best not to laugh.

"This is a humble offering from your little brother."

"I heard that you love fine food most of all, so I specially brought you a plate of super delicious stir-fried mushrooms. Please accept it."

The Doghead wiped the drool from the corners of its mouth twice. "Accept it? Of course I'll accept it!"

"Then what are you waiting for?"

Lu Xingyuan pushed the stir-fried mushrooms closer to it.

The Doghead could no longer maintain its composure. It snatched up the plate of stir-fried mushrooms, opened its huge mouth, and dumped the entire thing into it in one go.

Chew, chew, and chew some more.

Instinctively, it wanted to swallow.

But it forcefully held back. No, how could such delicious food be swallowed so carelessly? It had to savor it a little longer.

It chewed it another three to five times before finally, with no other choice, swallowing it.

"This is simply a delicacy from heaven!"

The Doghead closed its eyes, its face still wearing an expression of bliss.

Then, a prompt only Lu Xingyuan could see appeared before him:

[Doghead's favorability toward you +60. Current favorability: 65.]

Holy shit.

Its favorability had gone up by 60 points just like that?

"Thank you, little brother. This gift of yours truly suits my taste. It's been a long time since I last ate something this delicious. It's even more delicious than what that little girl gave me last time."

A furry hand landed on Lu Xingyuan's shoulder.

The Doghead had completely begun treating him like a brother.

Lu Xingyuan could not help feeling flattered. This was a terrifying existence above Level 5, after all!

With such a big shot as his elder brother, would he not be able to swagger around from now on?

Though most likely, the other party could only operate on this platform.

"Since we're one of our own now, it would be rather inexcusable if I didn't show you something in return."

The Doghead's words made Lu Xingyuan perk up again.

It's here, it's here! The most exciting moment is finally coming! Didn't I go through all this trouble for this very moment?

"My doghouse contains treasures I've collected over the years. Pick any one you like and take it as my return gift."

"This... wouldn't that be a little inappropriate? I simply admire you. I wasn't after your treasures."

He still had to put on an act. It was a traditional virtue cultivated from accepting red envelopes during New Year visits.

[Doghead's favorability toward you +5.]

[Current favorability: 70.]

See? A little restraint was still necessary. That way, he would not seem frivolous and greedy.

"If you refuse me, you're looking down on me."

"Then I definitely can't look down on you!"

Pointing at the dog hole carved into the stone wall, the Doghead told Lu Xingyuan to crawl through it.

After hesitating for a moment, Lu Xingyuan obediently did as he was told.

Who had not crawled through a dog hole as a child? This counted as reliving his childhood.
