Heaven's Chosen Lucky King Lured Giant Wolves to Their Deaths Without Spending a Drop of Chakra

"Caw, caw, caw!"

After Raijin's loud shout, nothing stirred in the woods except his echo and the cries of a few crows.

"My idea should be right. Where exactly did I go wrong?"

Raijin stared at the quiet sky, unwilling to give up. He tried several more times in succession, but just as before, nothing changed in the sky.

The sun set and rose, and time quickly passed.

For several days straight, the players worked hard grinding Daily Missions. They stockpiled plenty of chakra energy within their bodies and had learned most of the ninjutsu.

As they gathered outside the forest, ready to hunt monsters, a system notification flashed above their heads.

[Congratulations to player Emperor of Sinking for successfully killing the Wolf King and earning 120 contribution points!]

The moment the notification appeared, every player stopped in their tracks.

"The... the Wolf King's dead?"

"We struggled so much just fighting the little wolves before, and now someone's already taken down the Wolf King?"

"Emperor of Sinking? Isn't he the expert who was the first to buy chakra energy?"

"That's freaking insane! How on earth did he do it?"

Killing even one Ninja Beast was already unbelievable.

As for the Wolf King...

That was downright impossible!

How had he done it?

"Forget about that for now. Let's hurry into the forest! Even the Wolf King's dead. If we keep dragging our feet, there won't be any mobs left."

Dai Xiaomei was impatient by nature, and she charged into the forest as soon as she finished speaking.

But once inside, they saw no sign of Emperor of Sinking, and there were still just as many giant wolves as before. They couldn't help wondering what was going on.

Still, they didn't dwell on it. Following their earlier plan, they positioned themselves somewhere relatively safe while two players went ahead to lure a wolf over.

The players behind them reacted swiftly, calling down lightning and working together to kill it.

Everyone cheered and jumped for joy.

Then Dai Xiaomei and the others set to work again, using the same method.

In less than half a day, they killed nearly ten wolves, and the fighting continued.

With enough chakra energy stored in their bodies, they didn't feel tired at all despite fighting all morning.

"Killing these mobs feels so damn good!"

After taking down another giant wolf, the players sat on the ground, their faces filled with delight.

"After getting our asses handed to us for days, we finally get to hold our heads high!"

"You know, this is my first time eating wolf meat! It actually tastes pretty good."

One player casually chopped off a tree branch, built a fire right there, and started roasting wolf meat. Before long, the aroma of roasted meat spread through the forest.

"Give me a piece too!" Dai Xiaomei was practically drooling. She took a piece of wolf leg and bit off a huge mouthful, utterly satisfied.

"This game is way too much fun. I can actually taste it!"

Dai Xiaomei was a little foodie in the real world. Now, as though she had discovered a whole new world, she wolfed down the meat without the slightest concern for appearances.

"Really? Let me try!"

The players who hadn't been particularly interested all gave it a thumbs-up after tasting the roasted wolf meat, exclaiming in amazement between bites.

At the edge of the forest, a young man in flowing white clothes stood on a cliff, bent at the waist and looking around like a thief.

A gust of wind carried a peculiar aroma to him, making his mouth water.

"Why do I smell roasted meat? Am I hallucinating?"

The lucky king, Emperor of Sinking, looked around in confusion, but quickly ducked back down.

"Awooo!"

A deafening howl rang through the entire valley. A giant wolf had arrived!

Emperor of Sinking hurried aside and took out the chicken drumsticks he had prepared beforehand. He strung them together with a rope, then tied its ends to two trees at the cliff's edge.

When the giant wolf pounced, the rope would snap, and the wolf would fall to its death.

He had just killed the Wolf King using this very method. As for how he had discovered this spot and come up with the idea, that had been a complete accident.

A few days earlier, after being brutally slaughtered by wolves several times, he had given up hunting them. Instead, he wandered through the forest and chased a wild rabbit all the way to this cliff.

When the rabbit accidentally fell over the edge while fleeing him and was killed, he stared down the deep drop at the rabbit's mangled remains, and an idea came to him.

What he hadn't expected was that his very first trap would lure in the Wolf King. At the sight of the beast towering over three meters tall, he had thought he was done for.

Yet the Wolf King had acted like it was starving, with eyes only for the chicken drumsticks. It hadn't noticed him at all, so... it had fallen to its death!

After tasting success, Emperor of Sinking was beside himself with excitement. He designated this place his secret base, planning to repeat the trick and use the cliff to become one of the game's top players.

Watching this scene, Ye Chen didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He hadn't expected this lovable idiot to get so lucky every single time.

"Some people really are born lucky. You've just got to hand it to them!"

"Wee-woo, wee-woo, wee-woo!"

A shrill alarm sounded, and the smile instantly froze on Ye Chen's face.

This was the village alarm. It normally rang only when an enemy invaded, and only he could hear it.

Sure enough, a glaring red line of text appeared before Ye Chen the next second.

[Attention, host: enemies have infiltrated Junying Village.]

"Track the enemy's exact location immediately."

Ye Chen reacted swiftly, using his system privileges to activate the Energy Ball and scan every part of the village.

Soon, he spotted someone dressed as a villager skulking around a secluded area on the village's western side.

Although the man looked like a harmless villager, Ye Chen could tell at a glance that something was wrong.

First, that area on the west side was wasteland, and villagers rarely went there. The few residents nearby were all elderly people living alone. There were no young people at all.

Second, although he was dressed as a villager and bent at the waist, his steps were powerful. His movements seemed slow, but his gaze was exceptionally sharp.

Another obvious flaw was that he stayed bent over the entire time he walked. How could an ordinary young man's back be bent like that? He was overdoing the act.

"Heh. Interesting!"

Ye Chen sneered. Who were they trying to insult by sending such a weakling?

Rather than alerting the man right away, he continued observing his movements.

The infiltrating ninja walked from the western side of the village to its busiest area. At first, he was cautious, keeping his head lowered and not daring to talk to anyone.

After walking for a while and realizing everyone was busy with their own affairs and no one was paying him any attention, he grew bolder and began chatting with the villagers.

After exchanging small talk for a while, he started asking about the village.

His questions were thorough, going so far as to ask how many dogs each household kept. The villagers weren't on guard at all. They answered every question, telling the ninja everything they knew.

The ninja probably hadn't expected to complete his mission so easily that day. Once he had asked most of his questions, he left the village center in high spirits, planning to wander around a little more before returning to report.

His steps were light as he left, and he had grown much bolder. He no longer even stooped. Clearly, he thought nothing of Junying Village and considered everyone there a weakling.

Little did he know that his every move was under surveillance.
