Book 4: Chapter 43: Chen Heng’s Outlandish Way of ThinkingHe Who Knows Fate: Don’t look down on Wolffy for being a wolf. He is someone who can create rockets out of basic materials. Furthermore, those rockets can reach the moon. @Kal’tsit, you can hire him to research the medicine you buy. Perhaps he can reverse-engineer them.
17-Year-Old Beautiful Young Lady: The more comical an anime, the more terrifying the characters, as they would not function on logic.
King Wolffy: I saw it earlier. Mutton is very cheap. According to what you said, I get 10 points for the daily check-in? That means I can get plenty of mutton while doing nothing every day. If so, why should I take missions?
Was Wolffy stupid? Of course not. Could a fool create rockets? Furthermore, his EQ was not low. How could a person with a low EQ successfully woo Wolnie? Wolnie had been a belle when she was young, or so she claimed.
He Who Knows Fate: Wolffy, that’s too shallow. You are the man who wants to become the king of wolves. How can you be so short-sighted?
King Wolffy: What do you mean?
He Who Knows Fate: Here’s a question: Do you want to be the wolf king?
King Wolffy: I do.
He Who Knows Fate: What do the wolves want?
King Wolffy: To eat lambs.He Who Knows Fate: Are the lambs easy to catch?
King Wolffy: They are extremely hard to catch.
He Who Knows Fate: There you go. Even a smart wolf like you cannot catch lambs, what more the other wolves? Now that you have mutton, you control the wolves’ lifeblood. By then, becoming the wolf king is just a matter of declaring it.
King Wolffy: That does make sense.
He Who Knows Fate: Furthermore, are you only going to set your sights on ordinary lambs? Your ambition is too small.
King Wolffy: What do you mean?
He Who Knows Fate: You are the person who will become the wolf king. How can you eat ordinary lamb like the ordinary wolves? You should set your sights on the high-grade lambs in the association’s store, like the King Kong lamb, golden fleece lamb (the kind that produces golden wool), Conglong (from the Classic of Mountains and Seas; the following varieties are also from the Classic of Mountains and Seas), Tulou, Paoxiao, Qianyang, Boyi, and the other mythical lambs. Just think about it. Ordinary lamb is already very delicious. Wouldn’t these mythical lambs be the best delicacy in the world? Clap if you understand!
[TL Note: The Classic of Mountains and Seas is a Chinese classic text that compiles mythical beasts and geography. Unfortunately, it is hard to find English equivalents of the beasts mentioned above, and directly translating their names might not make sense, so I left them in as transliterations. Just understand that these are mythical beasts that resemble or are related to sheep and lambs. Here is the Wikipedia entry on the Classic of Mountains and Seas: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classic_of_Mountains_and_Seas. You also can find the description and drawings of some of the mystical beasts on this website, including the ones mentioned above: https://cryptidz.fandom.com/wiki/Creatures_and_Beings_of_Chinese_Folklore_and_Lower_Mythology. Conglong is 9.12, Tulou is 9.17, Paoxiao is 9.30, Qianyang is 9.11, and Boyi is 9.4.]
King Wolffy: You make a lot of sense…. Sure. If you need my help in the future, you can hire me with points.
Although Chen Heng could have asked Wolffy to help for free, such a relationship would not last. After the favor was paid, the relationship would come to an end, so he might as well use points to hire Wolffy from the very start.
17-Year-Old Beautiful Young Lady: Do you think those creatures can be eaten? I have read the Classic of Mountains and Seas before.
He Who Knows Fate: Are you joking? Isn’t the Classic of Mountains and Seas practically a menu? What can’t be eaten there? If you think you cannot prepare those beasts, you can ask the association for help. Honestly speaking, I think the association might even directly sell the meat to you. The association probably would not kidnap and sell someone, right?
King Wolffy: It is even better if it directly sells the meat. No, I must buy a few lambs for my wife to try first. To play safe, I’ll get the pre-prepared ones.
He Who Knows Fate: How should I put it? Wolffy is the classic example of doting on his wife. We even have a popular song here saying Wolffy is the best person to marry. Putting everything aside, he is truly good to his wife.
17-Year-Old Beautiful Young Lady: Speaking of wives, He Who Knows Fate, you have so many female supporting characters. Who are you going to choose?
He Who Knows Fate: What do you mean? Female supporting characters?
17-Year-Old Beautiful Young Lady: In other words, Mo Qingtong, Luo Li, Sirin, Jeanne d’Arc, and Fafnir, who do you choose out of the five?
He Who Knows Fate: Wait, wait. Putting the others aside, at least they are human. What’s up with Fafnir?
Solomon: Didn’t you say Fafnir was female?
He Who Knows Fate: I have no desire to be a dragon knight [dragon rider].
Queen of Ice and Snow: That means the other four are viable?
He Who Knows Fate: Are you joking? Luo Li, Jeanne d’Arc, and Sirin are still children. How can I make a move on them? As for Mo Qingtong, have you never heard this saying: A childhood friend can never beat a sudden romantic interest?
Lord of the White Night: You can’t pick none, right?
He Who Knows Fate: Pick? What is there to pick? Is a girlfriend as fun as games? Is a girlfriend better than a 2D waifu? Can a girlfriend be more interesting than growing stronger? Since they can’t, why do I want a girlfriend?
Umaru-chan: But your clan has been a single line of descent. If you don’t get married, what are you going to do for descendants?
He Who Knows Fate: How is that my problem? Don’t I still have an ancestor? Let him propagate the next generation. In any case, I don’t mind having a little ancestor.
God Sai: This way of doing things…
Kal’tsit: Your strange way of thinking is going to get you hurt. You want your ancestor to continue the family name while you talk about love with two-dimensional waifus? To think you can say such things.
He Who Knows Fate: This should be the case in the first place. That ancestor caused this problem, so he should settle it. He is the reason for the Chen Clan’s single line of descent, so he should work to pass on the family line. What’s wrong? Is there anything wrong with the logic?
Efreet: Although it is logical, I think this way of thinking is ludicrous.
Faillen Angel Gabriel: No matter what, your ancestor is at least two thousand years old already. To think you want him to propagate the family name! If your ancestor heard you, he might even beat you to death for being unfilial.
17-Year-Old Beautiful Young Lady: Furthermore, the stronger one is, the harder it is to have children. Although I don’t know how strong your ancestor is, he should be very strong since he could cause your clan’s luck to be reduced for so long and not recover yet. Your plan might be hard to realize.
Magus of Flowers: Speaking of two-dimensional waifus, don’t Jeanne d’Arc and Sirin count? What about the girls in the association?
He Who Knows Fate: That is to say, you want me to have a relationship with a child less than a month old and a child less than 14 years old. A rabbit does not eat grass by their burrows; romance is forbidden within the office. Furthermore, when a two-dimensional waifu appears before you, she is no longer two-dimensional, so she is no longer a waifu.
17-Year-Old Beautiful Young Lady: …Alright, there’s no hope for you. Just wait for your ancestor to beat you to death. You are the last descendant, but you don’t want to find a partner. The Chen Clan will be ruined in your hands.
Efreet: Furthermore, your requirements are very strange. You want a two-dimensional waifu, but when they become real, they are no longer your waifus. This is just a never-ending cycle.
He Who Knows Fate: That’s why I say real girls are all the same; two-dimensional waifus are unique. I will have to put in a lot of effort and time to humor a girlfriend. I might as well look at a two-dimensional person and show some care and invest some feelings into them. Furthermore, I can have many in one go. Real girls also bring family problems. I’m already busy enough with the association.
