Chapter 2002 Grey Wolf's Mission Reward: [Reward: Bond Resonance - Guardian Heart]
“Rick himself is part of that despair, an epitome and representative of the collective struggle of ‘humanity’ to survive in dire circumstances.”
"Therefore, the reward given to Rick by the chat group is 'the overall sublimation of human civilization +1'."
"That was a desire rooted in the deepest part of his soul."
"Therefore, the lack of such a reward can only be attributed to the fact that I am not as deep, as pure, and as absolute in my 'love' for humanity as Rick."
Tony's heartfelt sentiment was accompanied by an unflinching admission of this fact.
Although he also loves humanity and the world, and is willing to give everything for it, including his life, this love is indeed different from Rick's love, which is born from purgatory, is bound to the fate of his race, and sees it as the entirety of his existence.
His love is a mixture of responsibility, pride, affection for specific individuals, and the genius-driven desire to "shape" and "protect" the world in the way he believes is right.
The two are completely different.
"Alright, time for the sentimentality is over."
Tony patted his cheeks.
"Now, let me look at another interesting question beyond the reminder brought about by this gap in 'love'."
His gaze fell on the chat group interface, where Grey Wolf's avatar was still quietly displayed, without him saying a word.
“Richard’s reward is the ‘overall sublimation of human civilization,’ which aligns with his identity as the ‘leader of humanity’ and the ‘one god’ and his ultimate ideal.”
"Loki's reward is 'Asgard's enhancement,' which suits his identity as 'God-King' and his need to continue civilization."
"My reward is 'enhanced scientific research talent,' which matches my greatest potential as a 'scientist.'"
"So, what about Grey Wolf?"
For Grey Wolf, who possesses a bug-level ability to "invent by whims," what would be the most "fitting" reward the chat group would offer, or rather, what would be the best reward for him?
"The parents have been found, and the family is reunited."
"The obsession with eating mutton doesn't need such a high-level reward to satisfy it."
"A slight improvement in invention ability?"
Tony wasn't the only one thinking about this; many people in the chat group were too.
After Rick finished explaining his reward, Grey Wolf uploaded it to the chat group.

[Reward: Bond Resonance - Heart of Protection]
[Ability Description: The ability to sense strong "calls" and "prayer" from "parallel universes" that are related to you or someone you cherish.]
When "them" in a parallel universe encounters a major crisis, falls into dire straits, or faces a matter of world survival that they cannot overcome on their own, and desperately yearn for assistance, you have a certain probability of "hearing" this call that transcends time and space.
[Responding to the Call: When you "hear" the call and decide to respond, you can expend your own physical energy to briefly open a portal to that parallel universe. You can choose to go to provide assistance as your main body or by projecting a portion of your consciousness.]
[Gift of Guardian Power: After responding to the call and helping your companions in parallel universes resolve crises, you will receive feedback from the concepts of "bond" and "guardian" themselves, depending on the level of assistance you provided and the positive impact of resolving the crisis on the "overall possibility".
This feedback may manifest as:
1. Temporarily or permanently increase one of your basic attributes by a small margin, such as strength, speed, stamina, intelligence, or inspiration.
2. Gaining a sliver of "insight" or "trait" related to a specific event or emotion in that parallel universe may help you solve some problems in your own world.
3. Subtly enhances the emotional bond and understanding between you and the people you cherish in your own world.
4. There is an extremely low probability of obtaining a "souvenir" or "fragment of knowledge" of special significance from this parallel universe.
[Ability Limitations and Characteristics:]
1. Passively triggered, cannot be actively searched. The call must originate from an individual with a deep bond with you or someone you cherish, and the call must be strong and positive, such as for survival, protection, hope, etc.; malicious or selfish calls are invalid.
2. Responding to a call is not an obligation; you can choose whether or not to go. However, choosing to go and do your best to help usually yields richer bond rewards.
3. Traveling through parallel universes carries risks; you may face unknown environments, differences in rules, and the threat of the crisis itself.
Your abilities and inventions may be affected or weakened to varying degrees in different times and spaces.
4. The core of this ability lies in "bonds" and "protection," not in combat or conquest. Forcing its use for other purposes will yield extremely poor results and may even trigger a backlash or render the ability ineffective.
[Note: This ability stems from your complex and profound "protection" obsession with your family, friends, and even the Green Green Grassland. In every crisis that arises, you have never truly stood aside.]
The chat group was silent for a few seconds.
This reward was completely unexpected by most people.
It is not about reinforcing inventions, giving power, or satisfying one's appetite, but rather an ability to transcend time and space, respond to calls, and help others.
But soon, a realization dawned on everyone.
That wolf who always shouts "I will definitely come back!" seems to have the lifelong pursuit of eating sheep, but when has he ever been absent when the Green Green Grassland or even the world faced a real catastrophe?
Perhaps his relationship with the sheep is not yet as deep as that of family in some future timelines, but for Grey Wolf and Happy Sheep, it is only a matter of time.
As for Grey Wolf himself, he doesn't really lack anything substantial.
He has Red Wolf and Little Grey Wolf, who love him deeply and whom he loves deeply, and his family is happy and harmonious; he has the "sheep-catching business" that he enjoys despite his failures as a life goal and source of fun.
He possesses an almost supernatural, idealistic ability to invent things, capable of conjuring all sorts of outrageous gadgets out of thin air. His life is filled with minor troubles, but also with simple happiness.
Especially after joining the chat group and learning about the future, almost all his worries disappeared.
She didn't need to catch sheep; she found her parents and became friends with Pleasant Goat and the others.
But what about the "Big Bad Wolf" and the "Pleasant Goat" in other worlds?
What about those "them" who, amidst the endless branches of possibility, may have encountered even more desperate crises, fallen into deeper predicaments, lost important people, or even faced the collapse of the world?
Those "Grey Wolf" characters from different timelines, due to their different "versions," may have had their inventive abilities significantly weakened, bearing everything alone and praying in solitude.
The current Grey Wolf is "the strongest Grey Wolf in Season 1".
He possessed near-peak inventive abilities and the capacity to resolve any disaster.
The reward in the chat group is to share and pass on his current "strength" to those who are in a "weak season" or in dire straits, as well as to his "friends".
A bond that transcends time and space.
This is the connection between Grey Wolf and Pleasant Goat.
Sheep Village Guardian: "Although I, King Grey Wolf, don't really mind helping those little sheep, is this all the reward I can get?"
Contrary to everyone's expectations, Grey Wolf didn't seem particularly excited about the reward.
He certainly didn't dislike this ability, since the people he was helping were his other selves and the little sheep from other worlds. But this was not quite the "reward" he had expected!
He admitted that his relationship with the lambs is now okay.
We no longer need to catch sheep, and we can all play together normally; we're practically friends.
Although they are sometimes naughty and make him angry, King Grey Wolf is broad-minded and doesn't hold it against them.
But he didn't intend to help them in other worlds.
He hasn't even fully resolved the problems in his own world, so how can he have time to care about other worlds?
Most importantly, the reward he initially expected was something that would greatly increase his strength, or give him a 100% success rate in inventing something, or make his sheep-catching skills improve by leaps and bounds, so that he could catch the sheep when playing hide-and-seek with them!
But does he really think that King Grey Wolf is their babysitter?
An ordinary group owner said, "Because you are Grey Wolf, Grey Wolf's reward has to be this."
Su Yun said it was only natural.
Why is this the most fitting reward for him? Because he's Grey Wolf, it's that simple.
Do you think the chat group name "Sheep Village Guardian" was given to him for nothing?
The Sheep Village was created thanks to Grey Wolf.
Now that other worlds are facing crises, of course they need you, Grey Wolf, to help.
Sheep Village Guardian: "."
If that's what you're saying, then what can he say?
"But oh well, thinking about it carefully, this reward isn't so bad."
Grey Wolf pouted, flicked his tail, and started trying to save face.
He looked at the description of the ability again, and some thoughts that made him feel happy began to pop into his mind.
"What if we went to other worlds?"
"Hehe, then wouldn't this great king be able to see firsthand how miserable 'me' is in other worlds? And Pleasant Goat and the others might be chased so badly they'd be crying for their parents and have to wait for this great king to come to their rescue!"
Grey Wolf's mouth began to stretch uncontrollably upwards, revealing a smug smile.
Imagine that scene:
In another world, Grey Wolf's inventions always fail because his "version" is too weak. He can never catch a sheep and gets beaten up by Red Wolf, leaving him with a long face.
Then he, the majestic, wise and brave, and strongest version of Grey Wolf King in Season 1, made a dazzling appearance. With his ingenious inventions and wolfish wisdom, he used the technology to replicate the exact same taste of the mutton he bought from the chat group store, and easily solved the crisis!
At that time, wouldn't the "self" in that world admire him to the point of prostration?
There are also other versions of Pleasant Goat and his friends from other worlds, who are beaten up by the enemy and are crying and shouting on the ground, "King Grey Wolf, please save us!" "Great King Grey Wolf!" Then he descends from the sky and defeats the enemy.
Shouldn't they shout "Long live King Grey Wolf?"
"Hmph, when the time comes, I, the Great King, will definitely give that useless me a good 'instruction'!"
"And Pleasant Goat and his friends, I saved them. Let's see if they dare to look down on me again."
Grey Wolf's imagination ran wild, and he could almost see himself surrounded by "himself" from another world and the sheep, who were all adoring him and respectfully presenting him with a crown.
As for "nanny" and such, cough, that's the care that the strong show to the weak!
Version T0 is a technological upgrade for the sewer system!
Thinking about it this way, this ability suddenly seems much more appealing.
"Chat group, claim your reward."
Grey Wolf finally stopped daydreaming and, filled with anticipation for the "glorious scene" to come, spoke to the chat group.
"Ding! Group member [Sheep Village Guardian] has been detected claiming a reward. Confirm claim?"
"receive!"
Grey Wolf puffed out his chest and said loudly.
"Ding, initiating fusion."
As the chat group notification sound faded, a warm and gentle force, like the softest plush blanket, enveloped Grey Wolf.
An indescribable sense of security and comfort spread through him, causing Grey Wolf to involuntarily relax his tense body, even letting out a big yawn, and his eyelids began to feel heavy.
"Hmm, I'm a little sleepy."
Grey Wolf muttered to himself, shaking his head to try and stay awake, but the warmth grew stronger and stronger, carrying an intoxicating sense of peace.
His consciousness began to blur, and the scene of the invention workshop in front of him seemed to be covered with a soft light.
In that hazy, half-awake state, he seemed to hear many sounds, as if they came from a very far place, or as if they resounded directly in his heart.
He heard Mrs. Red Wolf's voice, tinged with reproach yet unable to hide her concern: "Grey Wolf! Staying up so late again! Go to sleep!"
And then there's Little Grey's soft, cheerful cry: "Daddy! Daddy! Look at my new toy!"
This is the sound of home.
Then, a more complex yet equally familiar cacophony of sounds arose.
It was Pleasant Goat's voice, always carrying a hint of cunning and energy:
"Grey Wolf! What trick are you up to now? We won't fall for it this time!"
It's a challenge from Boiling Sheep in his gruff voice:
"Grey Wolf! Let's duel! I'll definitely defeat you this time!"
It was Warm Sheep's gentle yet slightly worried advice that dissuaded her:
"Everyone, please don't fight."
He even vaguely heard the voices of Commander Hei and Lord Bao.
Some of these sounds came from clear memories, while others were like echoes from some distant time and space. They were mixed together and formed the background music for Grey Wolf's colorful life on the Green Green Grassland.
A warm power flowed through his body, seemingly resonating with the sounds echoing in his consciousness.
Grey Wolf felt as if he had transformed into an invisible tree, with countless unseen, warm "lines" spreading out from him, connecting Red Wolf, Little Grey Wolf, Happy Sheep, Lazy Sheep, Boiling Sheep, Pretty Sheep, Warm Sheep, and Slow Sheep.
It even connects to the grasslands, sky, wolf castle, and sheep village of the Green Green Grassland.
Now, under the influence of this warm force, these "lines" seem to have become more resilient, and even show a tendency to extend further into the distance, towards other possibilities that have subtle connections with him or those he cherishes.
Through these "threads" formed by bonds, he senses the calls from distant times and spaces to those worlds that also possess "Grey Wolf," "Pleasant Goat," "Red Wolf," and "Little Grey Wolf."
