Urban Giant Wolf Legend (I)
Chapter 2: Legend of the Urban Giant Wolf (T-1)
The shock Liang Qing received was no less than what she had just witnessed. She almost dropped the swaddling clothes.
The owner of the little hand seemed to notice her uneasiness. The little hand groped in the air for a while, and suddenly grasped the hat rope of Liang Qing's sweatshirt tightly, and the twisting of the body also stopped.
Liang Qing looked at the deep dimple on the fat hand. After a moment, he gently opened the swaddling clothes: a round, sleeping little face was revealed inside.
This is a three-month-old baby. The child has long eyelashes, slightly curly hair on the forehead, a round nose, and full ears. He is as beautiful as a little angel.
Liang Qing held the child in her arms, maintaining a vigilant posture. Outside, the satiated beast slowly left the fifth floor.
The world fell silent for a moment.
The little baby slept soundly, as if everything happening around him had nothing to do with him. His breathing was deep and calm, with a kind of hypnotic power. Gradually, Liang Qing also drifted off.
"Welcome to Doomsday Game! Here, you will personally participate in the survival game of the jungle! Compete with other players for the last remaining spot and become the king of doomsday survival!"
Liang Qing woke up from his light sleep with a start.
The sound continued—
"The 'Urban Giant Wolf Legend' dungeon is currently 1/3 complete! 164 players were eliminated on the first night, leaving 2139 players. Congratulations on successfully entering the next day! The system will send you your current account information at 6:00 AM. The wolf pack will take a short break before 6:00 PM. Players, please continue actively seeking allies and clues to complete the game during the day!"
The sound was the same as last night's in the elevator: an eerily cheerful electronic female voice. Outside the window, the dawn was hazy. Some light seeped into the room through the gaps in the curtains.
Liang Qing's brain switched on from the extreme tension before falling asleep, and she lowered her head first to check the swaddling clothes in her arms.
She met a pair of beautiful brown eyes.
The little boy had just woken up. When he opened his eyes and saw Liang Qing, he almost immediately broke into a very cute smile. A dimple flashed across his round face, and Liang Qing's heart warmed at the sight.
A real, warm, chubby baby was lying in her arms. This was not a dream.
She also smiled at the baby, waved her hand, and solemnly placed the child on the sofa beside her. As soon as she put it down, the baby immediately burst into loud crying.
Liang Qing immediately jumped up from the sofa, staring at the little boy's mouth opening and closing. The impolite crying made her scalp tighten. Fortunately, it was daytime now. If it was night, this sound would be a living target.
"Hungry?" Liang Qing dared to guess an answer.
When the kid heard Liang Qing speak, he stopped crying for a few seconds, and looked at Liang Qing with his beautiful big eyes misted with tears... and then he cried even louder.
Liang Qing held her forehead. She had lived for 23 years, and she had never even been in a relationship, let alone raising a child.
During the few seconds that Liang Qing hesitated, the baby's crying became sharper and sharper. He waved his arms and legs excitedly, and the swaddling clothes fell off him, revealing his chubby calves and... a bulging diaper.
The air was filled with the subtle smell of stinky milk.
Liang Qing: Oh, I pooped.
A minute later, she carried the little boy under the faucet. As the warm water flowed over his little bottom, he immediately stopped crying and sucked his hands with relish, watching Liang Qing wash his bottom with a complicated expression.
After washing him clean, Liang Qing wiped the kid's butt with a towel, put him down and started looking for something around the house.
Diapers were out of the question in this house. After turning around, Liang Qing pulled out her nightwear.
Who would have thought that one day this thing could be used to help babies? Human wisdom is truly endless.
The waist of the pants was a little too big, so she pinned it and looked at it carefully. The result was okay. She patted the little guy's butt and said, "It fits quite well. I'll make do with it."
The little cub seemed to understand what she said, blinking his eyes and chewing his fist quietly.
At this moment, a new message popped up on my phone, which had been frozen all night. [Congratulations, you've unlocked the "Change a Bonded Character's Diaper for the First Time" achievement and received a system reward of 3 points!]
This is?
Liang Qing unlocked the screen and found a message from ten minutes ago, at six o'clock this morning. At this moment, the phone still couldn't find any signal, and the message was from an anonymous number.

Current bond character: A three-month-old baby boy
Single parent, mother. Liang Qing's eyebrows twitched fiercely.
She clicked on the hyperlink of the dungeon titled "Legend of the Urban Giant Wolf," and what unfolded before her was the background setting of the story.
Liang Qing read it again to make sure she hadn't missed any details. She clicked on the hyperlink under the words "three-month-old baby boy"—
"Infants and children are a special player group in Journey to the End of the World, rare and precious. Adult players, after forming a character bond with them, are requested to carefully care for and nurture these children. The system will include the physical and mental health and growth of these children in the adult player's assessment. Remember: Do not abandon or neglect infants without permission! Any intentional behavior that causes injury or death to an infant will trigger a system removal!"
Liang Qing glanced at the pretty kid next to him. Okay, I caught a little one by accident.
Finally, she opened the Points Mall. Liang Qing wasn't sure how many people were participating in the game, but she guessed that with her current ranking and points, she wouldn't be able to exchange for anything good. After opening the link to the Points Mall, as expected.
The mall interface is simple and clear, with a line of small words at the top: The five major categories of props must be obtained from the mall, and the furnishings in the level cannot form actual protection or offense.
Liang Qing looked at the kitchen knife he had held last night and threw it aside.
The mall has five sections: [Survival Equipment], [Attack Equipment], [Transportation], [Housing], and [Other].
The [Survival Equipment] section contains a variety of practical survival tools, ranging from small items like nails, ropes, and winter clothing to larger items like tents, sailboats, and parachutes. The [Transportation] section offers everything from bicycles to luxury sports cars. The [Housing] section provides a rough list of daily rental prices for five different housing categories within each instance. Each house is labeled "Safe House." The cheapest safe house costs 1,000 points per day, and it's still a thatched hut that can't protect you from the elements.
[Others] There are only two things, one clue bar costs 10,000 points, and the trading mall is temporarily gray and not open to Liang Qing.
[Attack Equipment] is what Liang Qing is most interested in. It contains various types of guns, ammunition, knives and hidden weapons, both Western and Chinese, which makes Liang Qing's blood boil.
She went through every section of the mall and found that the cheapest item was a pair of scissors for 20 points.
Those guns and cannons that made Liang Qing jealous were followed by a string of zeros, which seemed like astronomical figures.
Liang Qing's eyes darkened and he was about to close the interface.
A dialog box popped up: "Player, please wait! Is there really no product that suits your taste? Why not spend 15 points to draw a blind box?"
Liang Qing's finger hovered for a second and then pressed the [Draw] button.
A surprise box jumped out and swayed left and right a few times. Out of thin air, Liang Qing saw a small square blue box appear on the coffee table in front of him.
She opened the box and found a pacifier inside. A line of words flashed on her phone:
"Congratulations on winning the magic pacifier worth 999 points! Use it wisely!"
Liang Qing stared at the "999" and "magic" and fell silent: I feel that the system is a bit misleading.
She washed the pacifier and stuffed it into the little boy's arms: "Here, this is a little gift I spent all my money on for you. Hold on for a while, I'll find a supermarket to get you some milk powder."
The moment the little cub saw the pacifier, his eyes lit up and he couldn't wait to grab it and nibble on it. The air was filled with cheerful "tsk tsk" sounds, and Liang Qing felt hungry after hearing them.
She stood up and walked to the window to observe for a while: the entire community and its surroundings were eerily quiet, with occasional figures flashing through the darkness and disappearing before she could catch them.
Liang Qing took out some food from the refrigerator and put it in the training bag. He then padded it with comfort pants and a towel, barely making a nanny bag for the kid.
The training bag had mesh holes on both ends for good breathability. Before zipping it up, Liang Qing patted the baby's face and said, "Little boy, watch me take you on an adventure and fly."
