The one-eyed werewolf was truly grateful to this new King. The previous King had never cared about the lives of those at the bottom of the tribe, sometimes even demanding they sacrifice themselves just to achieve a pretty victory.
Someone like this human, who actually looked after every single werewolf... the one-eyed werewolf had lived for so long and had never encountered such a thing before.
Su Rui stood to the side listening and couldn't help but scratch her head. On the way here, she and Cheng Shuili had discussed issues regarding manor construction, such as building defensive works and reclaiming farmland; these were things they had talked about.
Cheng Shuili's manor was already absolutely safe and did not require defensive works, but the fact that Old Wolf had communicated this to the pack could be considered adapting to local conditions, right?
Although that guy Old Wolf wasn't very smart, his emotional intelligence was certainly high.
Cheng Shuili nodded and told the one-eyed werewolf to stand up first.
The one-eyed werewolf obediently rose to her feet and hesitated for a moment before asking, "King, would you like to return to the tribe to have a look?"
Her eye was full of anticipation, and her expression made Cheng Shuili feel a bit embarrassed.
Cheng Shuili did want to go back and see, but she suspected that humans probably couldn't enter that kind of place.
However, since the tribe members were right here, rather than guessing back and forth, it was better to just ask directly.
Cheng Shuili pondered for a moment and asked gently, "As a human, can I enter your tribal lands? Will there be any restrictions or dangers?"
She paused and added, "Also, if I were to go, is there any preparation I need to make? Such as special rituals or items?"
The one-eyed werewolf was genuinely startled by the latter half of the question. Her good eye widened visibly, and she took a deep breath, her lips trembling several times before she found her voice: "King... you are the King! Who would ever demand that you do anything?"
That made sense...
Cheng Shuili was a bit silent; she had been messed with by the system too many times and had indeed become accustomed to it.
The one-eyed werewolf frowned again, and only after a while did she say, "How a human would enter... I am not entirely sure. King, please forgive me. After I return to the tribe, I will ask the priest. If she doesn't know, then no one among the tribe members will know either."
There's a priest too?!
Cheng Shuili blinked. She felt that this one-eyed werewolf was quite reliable, so she thought for a moment and asked, "What is your name?"
"King, my name is Lang Jiu."
"Alright, Lang Jiu, the matter here is resolved. You may go attend to other things."
"Yes!"
Lang Jiu nodded very solemnly. She bowed slightly, her voice low but full of respect: "As you command, King. I will return to the tribe immediately and ask the priest about the details of you entering our lands."
She paused and added, "If the priest has a way, I will report it to you immediately. If... if there is no suitable way for now, I will also tell you truthfully. I will never let you take any risks."
There was a hint of nervousness in her tone, fearing that this kind new King would be disappointed.
But soon, she straightened her back again, as if encouraging herself, and said, "Please rest assured, the wolf race will never let you be troubled!"
After speaking, she performed a crisp salute and turned to leave, but hesitated for a moment before taking a step. She turned back and asked cautiously, "King... do you have any other instructions?"
A single order and she had been talking to herself for so long...
Cheng Shuili shook her head slightly. The other party seemed a bit disappointed, but she still led the tribe members away.
The backs of the group of wolf-race beastmen made Cheng Shuili feel a pang of sadness. She was a King now, yet she didn't even have the contact information for a single tribe member; she could only see these wolves when she called for help.
This was so unreasonable!
Come out and get scolded, you dog system!
The two watched the wolf-race beastmen disappear. Su Rui gave a dry cough and intended to comfort Cheng Shuili, only to notice that this person had already started studying the drops from the Gold Supply Crate.
Uh...?
Wasn't she the one with wet eyes just a moment ago?
Among the three items, the one Cheng Shuili was most curious about was the small wooden box that Egg Boss had stepped on.
She picked it up only to find that this thing wasn't a wooden box at all, but a rectangular wooden stick.
Why would there be something like this in a Gold Supply Crate?
Out of curiosity, Cheng Shuili checked the item's description.
【The Screaming Chicken's Stage】
The moment she saw the name, Cheng Shuili understood; this was something the Screaming Chicken carried.
【Description: Just as you see, this is just a small wooden stick, but for the Screaming Chicken, this is its best stage! Standing on it! Singing its heart out! It is its lifelong dream!】
Cheng Shuili: "......"
She pinched the small wooden stick engraved with patterns and hesitated for a moment, but still stuffed it into her territory. Since it was a lifelong dream, she might as well bring it along.
The remaining two items were indeed props.
Cheng Shuili first picked up the card that glowed with purple light.
【Special Equipment Evolution Card】
What is this?
Cheng Shuili's breathing became rapid all of a sudden. She read the name of the card again!
Special Equipment Evolution Card!
For evolving special equipment?
Cheng Shuili brushed her finger gently over the Abyss Ring she was wearing. Ring, oh ring, your good fortune has arrived!
【Special Equipment Evolution Card】
【Description: A legendary card of miracles forged by a weapon master from a fallen star, capable of turning the special into the extraordinary. Can be used on any bound special equipment. After use, it can break through the current quality limit and evolve into a higher-level form. The evolved equipment will retain its original characteristics and randomly awaken 1 new ability consistent with the essence of the equipment (may trigger a qualitative change). Note! Each piece of equipment can only be evolved once! Please use with caution!】
Very good! There were no word games this time; it really was used to evolve special equipment!
Cheng Shuili did not hesitate at all and directly selected the Abyss Ring on her finger.
Nothing else to say, this ring was the special equipment with the highest usage rate in her hands!
If you want to evolve, of course, you evolve the one you use most often!
Cheng Shuili took a deep breath, her fingertips trembling slightly as she pinched the 【Special Equipment Evolution Card】, feeling both excited and nervous.
She chose to use it, and the system immediately popped up a prompt:
【Detected target equipment: Abyss Ring】
【Evolution requirements: First, Special Equipment Evolution Card (satisfied)
Second, Abyss Stone ×3 (unsatisfied)
Third, Shadow Essence ×1 (unsatisfied)】
Cheng Shuili: "......"
What is this?!
Previous cards were all used directly, right? What kind of trick is this playing again?
Cheng Shuili frowned. As expected, the system was still the same system; it would never let her succeed easily!
She stared at the unfulfilled conditions, her brows locked tightly.
Abyss Stone and Shadow Essence did not sound like ordinary materials, and she had never heard of them at all. Where could she find them?
Su Rui noticed the change in her expression and leaned over to ask, "What's wrong? What good things did you open?"
