Wolf Venerable Isn't a Noob!!!

After Silver Wolf finished bathing, she finally felt much more comfortable.

She changed into a cute bunny pajama skin.

After putting it on, she looked less sharp than usual and a little more lazily adorable.

She glanced at herself in the mirror.

Silver Wolf casually adjusted the bunny ears on her pajama hood, then with a thump—

She flopped straight onto the bed. The mattress sank slightly, and the soft blanket quickly wrapped around her.

Silver Wolf comfortably rolled over and checked her status panel at the same time:

[Cartridge LV80→99 (Maximum Level Reached)]

[Hidden: Unknown Save Cartridge LV999]

[Load: Low]

[Blessings: Forest Moon God, Phanes, Goddess of Life]

[Remaining Cartridge Time: 21s]

[Perhaps you truly are embarking on a path of Trailblaze]

"It actually capped out?" Silver Wolf recalled how to break through the level limit. "But how am I supposed to find Aha and unlock it?"

Silver Wolf took out her game console. The game on its screen was still running.

But after playing for a few minutes, her attention gradually drifted away from the game. She glanced at the time.

"Come to think of it, it's almost eleven. Why aren't those two sisters home yet?"

Silver Wolf became a little curious. Where could an older sister take her mobility-impaired younger sister so late at night?

She lowered the game console she had been holding overhead, abruptly sat up on the bed, and rapidly tapped at the keyboard.

"Just listening in."

After confirming the device had connected, Silver Wolf quietly waited to hear what they were doing.

Very soon.

A somewhat muffled conversation sounded in her ears.

"Little sister." It was Yan Zhiting's voice, carrying some real-world exhaustion. "You can't keep relying on Silver Wolf."

Kawaba Mutsumi fell silent for a while. "I know."

"Do you really?" Kawaba Yue's tone was not harsh, but her concern was obvious.

"You should understand very clearly that she isn't an ordinary person. She isn't even from this world. We still don't know her true identity, and Silver Wolf might not even be her real name."

Kawaba Mutsumi softly said, "Sister, you don't understand her."

"Mm, I haven't gotten as close to her as you have. But I want you to be more cautious. I'm really afraid you'll help someone count their money after they've scolded you."

"Wolf Venerable treats me very well." Her voice was soft, but without hesitation. "I trust her."

"I mean, don't rely on her. We may merely be a scenic stop in her life, perhaps just passing travelers."

"Oh, oh..."

"You must be tired today, little sister."

"No, no..."

"We have no choice but to take the matters in the game seriously. I hope we can find a solution that benefits everyone."

"Sister, should we talk to Phanes?"

"We aren't qualified yet. We need to grasp their weakness, or at least know what They want, before we can make a deal."

"Wouldn't that leave us stuck on both sides?"

"No. According to the information from Bai, Phanes also has things They don't know."

"That's true. Otherwise, They wouldn't have given us a mission..."

"We aren't the only ones anxious. That Phanes is anxious too."

"Sister, do we still need to look after them in the game?"

"Them? Oh—this is a necessary transaction. Once the company is acquired by the Federation, they'll assist us with matters in reality. From then on, your sister won't be held up by procedural issues anymore."

"That's great."

"Yeah."

Listening to their muddled conversation, Silver Wolf could only feel that a speck of dust from the era became a mountain when it landed on an individual.

So Mutsumi's sister has been busy with real-world matters? Did she take Mutsumi to a meeting this time?

Are they the Federation? Could it be that the Federation authorities here had already entered the game and begun making arrangements?

Right, Phanes said before that They hadn't reached a partnership with the Primordial here.

Silver Wolf suddenly realized something as well: since this place possessed the concept of the Primordial—

Then where was the Primordial here?

"Oh god..." Silver Wolf's head instantly started aching. "There are actually other experts?"

"Forget it, forget it. When water comes, build a dam; when soldiers come, block them with earth."

Silver Wolf rolled onto her side and began playing her game console.

"If it's all going to be Game Over, then what did they bring me here for? Aha definitely wants me to be the MVP, not the SVP."

"There's definitely no rush right now."

With that, Silver Wolf began operating the controls. It was a racing game set to hell difficulty.

Just as the sisters arrived home, she successfully cleared it as well—and with a massive lead. "OK, done."

Kawaba Yue took Kawaba Mutsumi to the bedroom.

Silver Wolf also noticed that the two sisters had returned.

Rather than disturbing them, Silver Wolf thought, Should I go challenge Kawaba Mutsumi one-on-one again?

She was still hung up on not having beaten Mutsumi before. She, Silver Wolf, was a gaming expert!

Wolf Venerable had never been a noob.

So Wolf Venerable wasn't a noob!!

In the end, after Kawaba Mutsumi finished bathing with Kawaba Yue's help and Kawaba Yue left—

Silver Wolf quietly teleported into Kawaba Mutsumi's room.

Kawaba Mutsumi looked at Silver Wolf's outfit and froze at once. "W-Wolf Venerable, you..."

"What? Isn't it cute?"

Kawaba Mutsumi looked at the drooping bunny ears. "Cute... such huge bunny ears."

"Don't go to sleep yet. Let's play a round."

Silver Wolf handed her the game console.

Kawaba Mutsumi accepted it and dazedly asked, "Then... what are we playing?"

"You chose last time, so I'm choosing this time. A racing game!"

"Look, this is for moving, this is for drifting, and this is for nitro boost."

Kawaba Mutsumi followed Silver Wolf's finger and watched her explanation. "Oh, oh."

"OK, you completely get it now. Let's jump straight into a real match."

Silver Wolf directly sent Kawaba Mutsumi an invitation.

Kawaba Mutsumi accepted it in a muddle, and their game PK began.

Besides Kawaba Mutsumi and Silver Wolf, the entire track was filled with hell-difficulty AI racers.

"Oh, and if you hit the timing window at the start, you get a speed boost too!" Silver Wolf hurriedly reminded her.

Kawaba Mutsumi immediately understood and perfectly hit the timing window for a launch boost.

The instant the race began, Silver Wolf shot out almost scraping the edge of the track. Throughout the first half, she held first place.

Until they reached a turn.

"Tch."

An AI by the track suddenly made an interference move. Silver Wolf was forced to correct her direction, her car scraped the guardrail, and her speed instantly dropped.

The racer in second immediately passed her. Silver Wolf stared at the car ahead, her expression changing. "You want to win? Did you ask me first?!"

She slammed on the boost and began attempting extreme corner cuts.

The first time, she successfully triggered nitro.

The second time, she succeeded again and retook the lead.

At the third turn, she misjudged it.

Her car violently spun out, leaving her a stretch behind her opponent.

"Ah..."

She was falling behind.

Just as Silver Wolf was about to chase again, Kawaba Mutsumi behind her suddenly surged forward.

She did not follow Silver Wolf's previous route. Instead, at the very last moment, she used the track's edge to pull off an extreme change of direction.

Boom!

Her car skimmed past the guardrail.

Kawaba Mutsumi overtook her.

Silver Wolf froze for a moment. "You learned that already?"

"Not bad, right?"

Kawaba Mutsumi's voice sounded beside her ear.

For the rest of the track, Kawaba Mutsumi kept trying and correcting herself.

She did not possess Silver Wolf's nearly instinctive control, but she kept learning.

At the final turn, the two cars charged out almost side by side.

Kawaba Mutsumi suddenly crossed the line.

[First Place: Kawaba Mutsumi]

[Second Place: Silver Wolf]

Silver Wolf stared at the results screen in silence for two seconds, then finally let out a long sigh and demanded, "You used cheats, didn't you?"

Kawaba Mutsumi scratched her head with an embarrassed little laugh. She honestly felt that this game was somewhat easy.

"How could I? You were right beside me."

Silver Wolf was utterly shocked. "Could you really be some kind of genius? You can even do this?" She knew exactly how difficult these hell-difficulty AI racers were from having raced them before.

For Kawaba Mutsumi to take first place on her first exposure, when she did not even know the track?

"Comparing people really makes people furious. Can't learn it, can't learn it..."

In the end, Silver Wolf understood Kawaba Mutsumi's skill level. Though she had not reached Firefly's level yet, she was definitely above Silver Wolf.

Was Silver Wolf really a noob?

Just a noob??

Damn it, don't underestimate the bond of our Elation Warship!

Shinju!

Virtual Reflection!

Fusion Up!!

The complete Elation Warship! Time to settle the score!

Clutching her wonderful dream ending, Silver Wolf returned to her room and peacefully went to play other games.

Wolf Venerable isn't a noob!!
