: Disperse, disperse—there's no way people actually believe that, right?
: Brother Fan is probably just joking with us.
: I'll admit, this talking wolf with a name and everything does seem pretty smart, but calling him the greatest inventor? Sorry, I'm not buying it.
: If you say he's an inventor among wolves, that I can maybe accept.
: Yeah, no way his inventions can compare to our Blue Star's scientists.
Watching the bullet screen fill with skeptical messages, Yuuto Kagami gave a dry cough.
He glanced over at Gray Wolf beside him—
Who was now completely frozen, looking like he'd turned to stone. Even his fur seemed to have gone pale with shock.
Clearly, he'd been emotionally wrecked by the bullet chat.
Yuuto Kagami sighed helplessly.
Turning back to the camera, he began explaining seriously.
"I know a lot of you are doubting what I just said."
"But I have to emphasize something clearly."
"Gray Wolf's invention and creation abilities—"
"Even by Blue Star standards, he would still be considered one of the greatest inventors in history!"
As soon as the words left his mouth—
The chat collectively paused, stunned.
Especially when they saw Yuuto Kagami's serious expression—
A shiver ran through their hearts.
Brother Fan… seemed dead serious.
Realizing this, the livestream fell into a rare moment of silence.
Then—
BOOM!
The bullet screen exploded in a frenzy of disbelief and excitement!
: HOLY SHT HOLY SHT!!
: Judging by Brother Fan's face, he's dead serious about this!
: No joke?? This Gray Wolf really has unimaginable invention and creation capabilities?
: Wait, even by Blue Star standards, he's one of the greatest?! That's… that's insane!
: The most advanced thing I've seen so far is the Anywhere Door. Are we saying this wolf is on that level??
: If he's truly an inventor, then name a few of his actual inventions!
: Yeah, Brother Fan, talk is cheap. Show us the goods. Tell us what he's invented. Otherwise, it's hard to believe!
Yuuto Kagami nodded and held up his fingers, counting them one by one.
"Let's see... First, there's the Time Machine—as the name suggests, a machine that lets you travel through time!"
"Then there's the Bye-Bye Machine. The name sounds a bit silly, but its function is seriously overpowered—it can break the dimensional wall and let you enter any movie or TV world!"
"Next, the Weather Cube—a device capable of controlling the weather of an entire planet! Yes, you heard that right!"
"Then we have a Youth Restoration Potion, a high-tech battleship that transforms into a castle, a super transporter that lets you teleport just by creating a chat group, and even a fusion-separation machine that can combine or split any living beings at will... and so on!"
At first—
Some viewers were still scoffing.
A slightly intelligent wolf? Big deal. How impressive could his inventions be?
But the more Yuuto Kagami listed...
The more those viewers' faces darkened. Everyone else? Stunned into silence, hearts pounding.
: Time machine? Teleporter?
: A cube that controls weather? Size-changing pills? Magnetic weapons? Spring shoes??
: Okay, now this just sounds like a madman's fantasy.
: Hold up, the Bye-Bye Machine lets you enter movie worlds?? BROTHER FAN, YOU SERIOUS?! That stuff's fiction! How do you enter fiction?? Unless you're saying he built the world himself?!
: If that machine really exists, I've got an idea...
: OMG, I think I get what you're thinking, bro!
: Wait a sec—this Bye-Bye Machine kinda sounds like that What-If Phone Booth from Doraemon!
: Honestly? These inventions rival the ones from Doraemon's world!
: Actually—if all of these really came from Gray Wolf alone, then he might be even more OP than Doraemon! Doraemon's gadgets are from a whole future world, but Gray Wolf made all of his by himself!!
: Dude. I never thought of it that way, but you're right!
At this point—
Gray Wolf, who had been frozen in shock, slowly started to recover.
But as he listened to Yuuto Kagami go on and on about his inventions...
He started feeling... strangely proud?
Wait a second... am I really that impressive?
Yuuto Kagami continued, summarizing thoughtfully:
"Gray Wolf's invention abilities—are more than just technical. They're practically conceptual in nature."
"They're like a special kind of power: what I call 'I Think, Therefore I Build.'"
"In other words: if he wants to invent something, he just thinks about it—and he can make it."
: 'I Think, Therefore I Build'?
: A concept-level invention ability?!
: That's basically wish-fulfillment!!
: And honestly… it makes sense. Because those inventions aren't remotely possible through conventional science.
: And the scariest part? ALL of this was made... just to catch sheep?! My scalp is tingling, man.
: Seriously—if sheep knew that a wolf made a freakin' TIME MACHINE just to catch them… I think they'd die with no regrets.
By now, every viewer was completely stunned.
Even Zhou Hongwei and the others—who had been standing off to the side—were inching closer, unable to stay still any longer.
"Gray Wolf, in this world, you probably won't be going back anytime soon."
Yuuto Kagami noticed Zhou Hongwei approaching and turned to address Gray Wolf.
"So you might as well settle down somewhere—and I recommend joining them."
"'Them'?"
Gray Wolf turned to look at Zhou Hongwei and the group.
Yuuto Kagami nodded. "They're officials from this country. They can offer you the best possible conditions."
"But…"
Gray Wolf hesitated.
From what Yuuto Kagami had explained earlier, he already knew he'd somehow ended up in another world.
And so far—
There was no known way to return to Green Green Grassland.
Facing a foreign land, a foreign country, and unfamiliar people—
He instinctively wanted to stick with Yuuto Kagami, the only person who knew him here.
But just as Gray Wolf stood there in hesitant silence—
Yuuto Kagami suddenly added:
"If you join the government… there'll be unlimited mutton."
"I'LL JOIN!!"
Gray Wolf didn't even wait for Yuuto Kagami to finish the sentence.
The moment he heard "unlimited mutton," his eyes lit up, and his demeanor did a 180.
With a serious expression, he strode forward, grasped Yuuto Kagami's hand, and declared:
"Please let me join!!"
: ???
: WHAT kind of reaction was that?!
: Hahahaha! He agreed the second he heard "mutton"!
: Dude, you're the greatest inventor of all time and you're selling your genius for mutton?!
: No but seriously—if Gray Wolf joins our country's tech division, are we about to enter a full-blown sci-fi age?
