Weird Sanctum
Chen Ji strolled along the commercial street.
Catfolk and Dogfolk lurking in the shadows can be seen almost everywhere.
A pair of sharp eyes, watching intently.
They seemed to be secretly surprised as well.
How did the King of Cats and the Demon Dog end up together?!
And... who exactly is this man?!
Chen Ji silently observed everything.
I couldn't help but feel a sense of emotion. This was a rare haven, free from wild and untamed creatures, and even home to two distinct tribes, Meow-Woof with its own clearly defined territory.
There are countless Intermediate Aberration occurrences!
This made him even more curious about the legendary Wang Ba.
Could it be that Wang Ba isn't just High-Level Weird, but an Ultimate Weird?!
"Arrive!"
"My father is inside!"
Demon Dog pointed to a duplex building in front of him.
A glint of light flashed in Chen Ji's eyes.
I almost cried out in surprise.
This building has a simple and unadorned exterior, full of retro charm, and features a huge skylight on its roof.
It... it looks exactly like the New York Sanctum!
How did the New York Sanctum end up in this Weird World?
Could it be, as he suspected, that the precursor to this Weird World was also one of countless parallel universes?
Was it because it was fragmented but still possessed collectible value that the Ancient Gods included it within the frame?
Three question marks in a row.
This is enough to prove Chen Ji's surprise.
As he delved deeper into his exploration, he didn't uncover the Mystery of this Weird World, but instead, more questions arose!
Push open the door.
A staircase leading up to the two floors of the building was visible.
Chen Ji suddenly realized that the interior structure of this building was also extremely similar to that of the New York Sanctum, except that it lacked common magical artifacts and exuded a sense of dilapidation and gloom.
There were signs of battle everywhere, and bloodstains that couldn't be washed away. Candles were lit in the passageway.
Each of these large, powerful Dogfolk, dressed in simple armor and wielding wooden sticks, stood guard at key positions.
Upon seeing strangers enter and exit, they immediately bared their fangs, revealing their ferocious nature, and surrounded them.
"Second Dog!"
"Who gave you permission to bring a stranger to Dog Tyrant's Stronghold?"
"You were bribed with just a big bone?"
"Don't you know the trolls are gathering power and trying to wipe us all out?!"
A large, Dogfolk suddenly grabbed the dog by the Demon Dog and lifted it up in one swift motion.
The fierce and menacing face startled Ninja Cat and Sugar; the aura of this Big Dog...
It's clearly at Powerful Aberration level!
"Elder brother!"
"Don't hit me!"
"He gave too much! And he seems like a nice person too. Look, even Ninja Cat is here, isn't she?"
"You don't believe me, but you don't believe Ninja Cat?"
The Second Dog pried open the Big Dog's fingers and landed steadily.
These words made Big Dog take Chen Ji seriously, his eyes darting between Ninja Cat and Sugar.
However, he never let his guard down. He spread his five fingers and immediately extended his sharp claws, as if he was about to attack Chen Ji at any moment!
[Name]: Boss Wang
[Identity]: The Weird Parkmaster
[Entry]: When one dog is in trouble, eight dogs come to its aid (blue), Dog Roar Technique (green), Future Dog Lord (blue).
[When one dog is in trouble, eight dogs come to its aid] (Blue): With a single command from Boss Wang, eight giant dogs can be summoned. The dogs advance and retreat together, combining offense and defense, Unstoppable.
[Dog Roar Technique] (Green): He has learned the ancient Lion's Roar Technique. Due to the limitations of his race, its power has been weakened, but it is still not to be underestimated.
[Future Dog Lord] (Blue): He has enormous potential and is on the verge of evolution. If he gets a fortuitous encounter, he will surely become a leader among dogs.
"Um?!"
"Boss Wang?"
"He has a name!"
"Then how can I bestow a name upon him? How can I become his companion?"
Chen Ji's eyes widened in surprise.
The biggest difference between bizarre creatures and intelligent creatures is whether or not the entry displays their names!
The Boss Wang in front of us actually has a name!
Who named him?
Chen Ji was secretly anxious.
Is his plan to subdue Wang Ba doomed to fail?
With just a big bone stick, there's absolutely no chance!
"Huh."
"Etc!"
"The essence of bestowing a name can also be understood as... assigning a target term! A name is not only a written word, but also a personal identification code!"
"Is it possible for me to directly consume Luck Value to generate specific affixes?"
"If affixes can be integrated into Rune, Rune should also be able to... trigger affixes!"
A thought flashed through Chen Ji's mind.
After all, he is a [Super Genius], [Born Knowing], and also [has Lucky Emperor Physique]!
He was at least 70% confident in creating the affixes using Rune!
70%!
That's enough!
But he didn't try it immediately.
Because Boss Wang's eyes were wide open!
"Who are you?"
Why do you want to see Wang Ba?
The Boss Wang had a deep, gruff voice with a hint of ferocity, and all the Dogfolk, hearing the commotion, gathered around.
You can call me... Chen.
"I want to see Wang Ba, also to defeat the trolls. I am truly to blame for the trolls' evolution."
Chen Ji told the truth.
According to his speculation, the evolution of the Weird Troll will occur when it devours the Weird Rat King!
If he hadn't killed the Weird Rat King, the Weird Troll wouldn't have been able to transform.
"You?!"
"Did the trolls evolve because of you?"
"Do you know how to evolve to the next stage?"
"Tell me!"
Boss Wang's expression changed, his eyes revealing joy and longing; he was simply too excited to contain himself!
He was only a hair's breadth away from evolution, yet he couldn't break through it.
Even Wang Ba at a loss; it was clearly beyond his knowledge.
"Do you really want to know?"
"But you should understand that everything comes at a price."
What payment do you want to make to me?
Chen Ji raised the corners of his mouth, secretly rejoicing.
They've taken the bait!
It seems that once every strange creature gains intelligence, its desires also grow. As long as you understand the desires of your target, you can control it!
"Remuneration?"
"I will take you to see Wang Ba."
"Furthermore, I can promise to join forces with you to defeat the trolls and allow you to stay in Paradise."
Boss Wang looked dignified. In this Weird Amusement Park, his status was second only to Wang Ba, far above Ninja Cat and Demon Dog.
As Wang Ba grew older, he took over almost all the events and even severely injured the Weird Troll once!
The Weird Troll [Nine Lives] lost one of its lives, and that was done by Boss Wang!
"I see."
"However, we should discuss your evolution with Wang Ba first. I have many questions that I need him to answer."
Chen Ji shook his head.
The more anxious Boss Wang, the more composed he had to remain!
At this moment, the supply and demand relationship between the two has been reversed. As long as he doesn't budge, Boss Wang will absolutely cooperate in every way!
And it turned out just as he had guessed.
Boss Wang quickly dismantled all defenses and led Chen Ji and his group briskly up to the second floor.
Walk through the long corridor.
Open the door to the storage room.
Then I saw a emaciated, old Chihuahua lying on its side on the sofa, lazily raising its eyelids.
'Is this Wang Ba?!'
"Holy crap!"
"Isn't the art style a bit too bizarre?"
Chen Ji's gaze froze.
I immediately checked the Entry Panel for Chihuahuas.
[Name]: Wang Ba
[Identity]: Weird Overlord
[Entry]: Steady as an Old Dog (blue), Heavenly Law, Earthly Form (purple), Death's Approach (black).
[Steady as an Old Dog] (Blue): He is both steady and irritable. All his actions are intentional. In fact, he is extremely rational and has a wisdom of +50%.
[Heavenly Law, Earthly Form] (Purple): Do not be contemptuous of him because of his size. He can use the technique of multiplication, and all his attributes will increase dramatically.
[Death's Approach] (Black): Time waits for no man, nor for a dog. Having endured countless battles, he is now at his wit's end.
"Oh, this..."
"That's outrageous!"
"He can actually Heavenly Law, Earthly Form?"
Chen Ji was dumbfounded.
The Heavenly Law, Earthly Form!
This is a skill that Monkey King has used.
Where did this Wang Ba learn that from?
And now he knows why the Weird Troll avoided this commercial street!
Not to mention the Weird Troll, even Chen Ji was panicked!
Newbie here, begging for votes~ Waaah~
