In the shadows, Nihilux curled the corners of her mouth.
Another laugh.
She had indeed heard it, and she understood the reason why Aha had chosen Silver Wolf.
Aha walked the human world with billions of faces, yet no one had ever been able to find its figure.
However, it was rumored that a Mourning Actor had still managed to find the Lord of Elation.
“How did you find me?” Aha asked.
“Your followers seek you out in places with the most laughter, but I did the opposite.
In the laughter that inevitably erupts after a child’s cries, you have nowhere to hide,” the Actor replied.
So…
this story teaches us a lesson.
Aha is a lolicon, especially fond of little girls.
Nihilux’s smile deepened, and her paintbrush never stopped.
As expected, art comes from reality but transcends it; she had more material for the sweet daily life of the landlady and the Wolf Cub.
So, the tutorial is finished.
What should I issue as the next mission?
The little Wolf Cub should practice leveling up in the beginner village a bit more.
Even for a genius, I reckon basic mechanical knowledge and Aether Editing techniques would be enough to give this girl a headache.
After all, the basics here are universal textbook-level standards, including nano-chip research and development, circuit engineering design, general hacking techniques, artificial intelligence coding…
Nihilux didn’t consider whether this was too difficult for a child.
After all, the knowledge was right there; she could take it as an elective.
Besides, someone chosen by Aha couldn’t be a loser, right?
If Aha didn’t have any objections, what did she have to worry about?
At the very least, isn’t there Stark by her side…
This guy knows a thing or two, right?
She flicked her finger and clicked publish.
[New Mission:]
[No Games Here!]
[The first step to the legend of Punklorde: break all the game records in the Arcade.
No time limit for the mission.]
[Reward: LV increases by 5, Talent: Game Pleasure (Playing games can eliminate worries, never get tired of it, it’s just that simple).]
Meanwhile, in the basement, inside the Arcade.
The legendary Wolf Lord didn’t fall before her enemies, but fell into her father’s arms.
She stared blankly at the new mission, feeling that something was a bit off…
It’s so serious?
It’s as if the previous and current missions were issued by two different people.
Strange, but there’s no time to think about it.
She used her hand to push away Stark’s head as he leaned in, her face turning bright red.
She kept feeling like this guy was up to no good with her face—was he trying to kiss her?
Regardless of what anyone says.
It’s a bit too fast.
She refused that; cuddling was already the limit!
“Don’t mess around…”
“Sigh, Wolfie, you have no idea how much I like you.
How could I possibly hold back?
I’ve been following you from Honkai Impact 3rd to Honkai: Star Rail!”
“Don’t worry, I won’t go against a woman’s will.
But then again, you’re still young and lack a sense of responsibility, so your guardian acts with full authority…”
“And that guardian is me, right?”
Stark discovered the blind spot once again.
“???” Silver Wolf looked shocked and confused.
He kept saying things no one could understand.
To think she actually felt he was handsome for a split second just now…
Meanwhile, in a corner no one cared about.
Willis, having escaped disaster, stared at this scene, dazed.
The sensation of being flicked on the forehead hadn’t faded for a long time.
Strange.
He covered the spot where he was flicked, his face feeling hot.
Willis couldn’t figure it out—why didn’t Silver Wolf beat him up?
In his mind, that smile he had glimpsed when he first opened his eyes still lingered—a smile from the heart.
It was like…
an angel.
Looking closely.
Actually, Silver Wolf really was very cute.
Her silver hair was fluffy after being washed, her features were delicate, and she was so small.
The way she looked shy while being held by Stark was even cuter.
Willis didn’t understand what was wrong with him.
As if possessed.
He leaned in.
“Next time, can I come to the Arcade next time?”
“…”
Stark narrowed his eyes slightly.
Why was this kid with shifty eyes staring at the Wolf Cub in his arms, and blushing too…
What, does he have a masochistic fetish?
He wouldn’t mind giving this brat a few more slaps on the butt.
Willis shivered; he felt the killing intent from the old father and slowly stepped back.
Fortunately, at this moment, Silver Wolf looked at Stark.
It saved his life.
“Um…
will the landlady be angry?”
“You think this Arcade makes much money?
She won’t care.
It’s fine, at worst, the two of us will work to pay it off.”
Stark curled his lip.
That person was probably just watching the show.
Why would she side with an outsider instead of protecting her own employee?
“Oh…”
“Then what should we do with him?”
“Wolf Cub, you decide…”
“…I’ll leave it to you.”
Silver Wolf shook her head, feeling a bit uncomfortable under Willis’s eager gaze.
It was creepy…
Although she had imagined the scene of being the center of attention after getting the game cartridge, it seemed like actually receiving others’ admiration wasn’t all that great.
She didn’t mind Stark looking at her that way.
As for others…
She chose to stay out of sight and out of mind, and besides, Stark didn’t seem to want her to interact with this group, so she wouldn’t.
Stark narrowed his eyes slightly and put Silver Wolf down.
He had to set some rules for the Arcade.
For that…
even if it meant bullying the weak, he didn’t care.
“Willis, right?
And the others from just now.”
“Come out with me.”
The few punks trembled all over.
Oh no, they didn’t use Flash in time.
They subconsciously wanted to run, but Stark was agile.
Those who could stay here wouldn’t be anyone powerful.
Most were below LV10.
“Tsk tsk, I’m not a bad guy, why are you running?
I have something to discuss with you.
Don’t worry, I don’t hit hard.”
“Wolf Cub, don’t come out…”
“It’s not suitable for children.”
Soon, they were smilingly ushered out the door by Stark with his arms around their shoulders.
Silver Wolf stood in place, staring at her toes, and immediately heard a chorus of wailing and screaming at the door…
“Uncle, I was wrong.”
“Who’s your uncle?
Am I that old?
Call me bro, and keep it down.
What if my daughter hears you?”
“Bro, I really know I was wrong.”
“We will definitely be polite and not swear in the future…”
“You don’t know you were wrong; you just know you’re about to get beaten.
Are you going to bend over yourself, or should I do it?”
“Waaaah—”
Can boys cry?
Yes…
Silver Wolf’s mouth curled up, and she burst into laughter.
Bullying the weak, so shameless, even bullying kids.
But for some reason, Silver Wolf just felt that Stark wouldn’t go too hard…
Outside, what exactly is happening?
She really wanted to know.
Taking a peek, it should be fine, right…
At this moment.
In the dark alley, Stark stretched his limbs.
Nothing special, he had just farmed Basic Combat Arts from the Wolf Cub.
He told the punks to grab their sticks and attack together to practice.
If they could beat him, it was their own skill.
If they couldn’t, they’d get beaten up.
That was fair.
“My kid is soft-hearted, it’s fine.
Uncle’s fists here are rock hard.
Do you like it?”
“…”
