He wore a patched hat on his head, a yellow scarf around his neck, and the scar on his face revealed a hint of wildness. This wolf was Big Big Wolf from the [Pleasant Goat] world! Despite some unlucky attributes, he was the most powerful inventor in the wolf clan, possessing the highest IQ.
"Welcome, Mr. Big Wolf," Ron greeted him with a smile. Since the system had previously given a reminder about Big Big Wolf's upcoming visit to the tavern, Ron wasn't surprised.
"Ah, you know me?" Big Big Wolf nodded and slowly took a seat at the bar. "It's right to know me. There has been a voice guiding me to this tavern these days," he added with a hint of sadness in his voice, his body covered in large and small wounds. It seemed he had failed to catch sheep that day and turned to drinking to relieve his worries.
"No... What the hell is this place?" Grey Wolf suddenly reacted; his heart filled with strong vigilance. After agreeing to the voice's guidance to come to the tavern, Big Big Wolf felt his eyes go dark, and he appeared at the tavern's door inexplicably. It all seemed too strange to him.
Ron explained with a smile, "You are a scientist; you should have heard of the multiverse."
This explanation seemed plausible. Ron couldn't outright say, "Congratulations, Mr. wolf, you've traveled to a world where you can eat sheep at any time!"
Big Big Wolf's pupils suddenly trembled, and while he scrutinized the tavern, his brain spun rapidly. As he looked out the window at the distant port, he witnessed two groups of pirates fighting. One pirate's body inexplicably transformed into an animal, with both strength and speed increasing several times in an instant. Some pirates even had jet-black armor emerging from their arms, providing defense that could catch bullets with bare hands.
In that moment, Big Big Wolf's worldview was significantly shaken.
Big Big Wolf, a staunch materialist despite being a scientist capable of crafting rockets with his bare hands, found his worldview constantly challenged by the events unfolding around him. The extraordinary happenings made him believe he had indeed entered another world.
Taking in the surroundings, Big Big Wolf pondered and asked, "Boss, what kind of world is this? Are the people fighting outside blessed by the gods?"
Lucoa, stepping into the role of a temporary waitress, brought a bottle of wine and a cup for Big Big Wolf. "Your wine, enjoy it slowly," she said, taking over the duties of Rem and Ram.
Returning to her seat, Lucoa smiled at Ron, showing her willingness to understand the world she had chosen to temporarily reside in.
Ron, lighting a cigarette, replied matter-of-factly, "This is a world where the weak prey on the strong. Pirates are rampant, and the World Government supports a group of descendants who claim to be gods—the so-called Celestial Dragons."
"Scorning human life and disregarding the lives of civilians is what the powerful do," he continued. "As for the blessings of the gods, there is no such thing. Every world has a different power system. Everything you saw just now is a unique product of this world."
Despite everyone's disdain for Celestial Dragons, the desire to become one persists. Unfortunately, those aspiring to Celestial Dragon status often fall short in the cycle of reincarnation.
"I see," Big Big Wolf acknowledged. "However, this power is really strong, far stronger than my inventions."
After receiving this explanation, he sighed softly, taking a sip of wine to release his depression and frustration. Pausing, he continued his train of thought.
"If I could have the power of those people out there, my wife doesn't have to go hungry anymore. She has no other wish now. She just wants to eat a bite of mutton," expressed Big Big Wolf, revealing his heartfelt desires. "It's all because I'm such a loser. As a wolf, I can't even catch a sheep."
Ron offered a reassuring smile and responded, "Don't feel too sorry for yourself. You envy the abilities of outsiders. Likewise, your scientific power can make all the forces in the world flock to you."
Pointing out that Big Big Wolf's scientific prowess could garner him recognition, Ron continued, "If placed in this world, you can definitely become a scientist as famous as Vegapunk, Vinsmoke Judge, Caesar Clown, and others."
However, Big Big Wolf, with his modest dreams of enjoying Mei yayang's mutton, seemed unconvinced. He remarked, "How is that possible? People in this world obviously need science. What you say is really unscientific..."
Ron shook his head, offering a different perspective, "The abilities you see can be replicated through the science of this world. In another world, there is also a scientific research genius like you, who is as good as a god in a mortal body!"
This revelation hit Big Big Wolf like a bomb, shattering his established worldview. The events of the day had far surpassed his understanding. Stunned, he inquired, "Does such a person really exist?"
"Of course, you may have the chance to meet one if you come to the tavern often in the future," Ron reassured with a smile. It wasn't a mere attempt to fool Big Big Wolf; rather, as the tavern continued to upgrade, the likelihood of inviting guests from other worlds would increase.
Tony Stark, a figure as impressive as a god, might be invited to the tavern one day. Ron's words served a dual purpose – not only did he aim to instill trust in Big Big Wolf but also to facilitate the trading of inventions for mutton. To witness Big Big Wolf enjoying mutton would be a satisfying redemption for his unfulfilled childhood desires.
"The wine you have here is delicious. I will come here often," remarked Big Big Wolf as he took a sip of the wine. Lucoa, with her generous demeanor, offered a reward of a hug, which Ron jokingly declined, prompting laughter from everyone present.
As Rem and Ram returned with a cat in their arms, Ron inquired about the availability of mutton in the kitchen. They affirmed its presence but noted that the reserves were not abundant. Ron instructed them to prepare the remaining mutton, seasoned with additional cumin and chili pepper to enhance the flavor.
A sudden slap from Big Big Wolf signaled his realization that everything happening was indeed true. Overwhelmed by the reality of the situation, he found himself on the verge of tears. The surreal events of the day had made an indelible impact on the normally rational and scientific wolf.
