The natural system started off strong, but the navy finally reached its peak!

"For example, you can tell me directly what you want instead of biting me."

“Hmm…” Libo tilted her head and thought for a moment, then grinned, “Alright! Now I want you to teach me that ability to make carrots jump out!”

Gern raised an eyebrow: "You want to learn vibration abilities?"

“Yes!” Lipo nodded excitedly. “That way, harvesting carrots won’t be so troublesome anymore!”

Looking at her expectant eyes, Gern couldn't help but smile.

The simplicity and directness of the fur tribe are indeed irresistible.

“It is possible, but…” he deliberately dragged out the words, “you have to take me to the village first and let me eat my fill before we talk about it.”

"Deal!" Libo cheered, grabbing Gern's hand and pulling him forward. "Quick, quick! There's so much good food in the village!"

Lippo giggled and skipped ahead to lead the way, her long, drooping ears swaying gently with her movements.

The two walked along the forest path, and the surrounding trees gradually thinned out, replaced by an open farmland.

Libo pointed to the village in the distance and said excitedly, "Look! That's Crescent Village!"

Gern looked in the direction she pointed and saw a village made of stone and wood buildings sitting there.

Smoke curled from the chimneys, and the sounds of cheerful laughter and singing could be faintly heard.

“Let’s go!” Libo grabbed Gern’s wrist and dragged him forward.

Gern stumbled a few steps as she pulled him along, and looking at the lively bunny-eared girl in front of him, the corners of his mouth unconsciously turned up.

Perhaps this trip to the furry duchy was much more interesting than he had imagined.

Chapter 77 Lipo Goes Bankrupt by Being Eaten Up

Inside an ordinary restaurant in Crescent Village, in the Fluffy Principality.

On the long wooden table, plates were piled high, and every dish was devoured.

Gern's eating speed was terrifying; his fork was practically a blur, and a plate of roast meat was reduced to bones in the blink of an eye as soon as it was served.

The chefs in the restaurant were so busy they barely had time to breathe, and beads of sweat kept rolling down their foreheads, but they still couldn't keep up with Gern's pace.

"Another extra-large grilled meat steak!" Gern raised his hand, his mouth still stuffed with food, and shouted indistinctly.

"You want more?!" The restaurant owner's eyes widened, and he almost dropped the spatula in his hand.

"Guests, we've used up all our meat reserves..."

"Then ten more cakes, please!" Gern grinned, his eyes scanning the menu for dishes he hadn't tried yet.

The fur-bearers in the restaurant all stopped what they were doing and stared in disbelief at the scene.

Whispers rose and fell

"Is this guy's stomach a bottomless pit?"

He ate all the food in the restaurant by himself!

"Where did Libo bring this 'guy' from? Could he be here to bankrupt us on purpose?"

Meanwhile, Libo, sitting at the dining table, clutched her carrot-shaped purse tightly in both hands.

My wallet, which used to be bulging, has now shrunk like a wilted vegetable leaf.

"Ugh..." She trembled as she turned her wallet upside down, and a lone coin clattered onto the table.

Her ears drooped completely, and her pink pupils glistened with moisture.

At the table, Gern was devouring his twenty-seventh plate of roast meat when the head chef, panting, handed over his thirtieth stew.

When Gern reached out to take the last piece of carrot cake in front of Lipo, the lop-eared rabbit girl finally snapped.

"Whoaaaaah!!" Lipo leaped onto Gern's back, wrapping her legs tightly around his waist and desperately pulling at his collar with her hands.

"Stop eating! Libo's wallet is starving!" Her tears fell like broken pearls, all smearing onto Gern's navy cloak.

"Do you know that this money is what Libo saved up for three months to buy new seeds!"

"Libor is going bankrupt! Waaah..."

Guern coughed twice, the cake on his fork wobbling precariously, "Wait, wait..."

"No!" Libo bit Gern's ear (not hard), her voice trembling with tears, "Is your stomach connected to the sea?"

"Ribo, this can't be serious!!"

"How could it not be?!" Libo suddenly looked up, her eyes brimming with tears, glaring at him. "You ate all of Libo's money!!"

Gern paused for a moment, then scratched his head awkwardly: "Uh... sorry, I'm just too hungry."

"What good is an apology?!" Lipo suddenly grabbed his collar and shook him violently.

Gern was so dizzy from being shaken that he said helplessly, "Stop shaking me, I'll make it up to you..."

"Compensate? What are you going to use to compensate?!" Libo angrily let go of her hand, plopped back into her chair, crossed her arms, and huffed.

"Libo doesn't even have money left to buy carrot seeds! She thought it would just be for one meal..."

Just then, the restaurant door was pushed open, and two small figures walked in.

One is Wanda, a dog-fur tribe member with a ponytail, and the other is Pedro, a leopard-cat-fur tribe member dressed like a ranger.

The two were stunned by the scene before them as soon as they entered.

A table full of empty plates, an exhausted chef, a happy boss, and... Lipo, slumped over the table with tears in her eyes.

“Sister Lippo?” Wanda blinked and walked over curiously. “Why are you crying?”

"Hmm?" Libo looked up, saw the two of them, and as if seeing saviors, she reached out her hand with teary eyes.

"Wanda, Pedro...did you bring any money?"

Wanda and Pedro exchanged a glance, their lips twitching simultaneously.

"Sister Lippo, you've been wasting money again?" Wanda asked helplessly as she handed Lippo her allowance.

“No, that’s not it!” Lippo pointed at Gern and said, looking aggrieved. “It was him! He ate all my money!”

"Him?" Only then did Wanda and Pedro notice the smiling Guern.

“A human?!” Upon seeing Gern, Pedro frowned and asked warily, “How did you get here? Why did you come to the Woolly Duchy?”

Gern wiped his mouth, about to answer, when Libo jumped up first, hands on her hips, and said proudly.

"He is a hero of justice—Gern! He came specifically to find me!"

"A hero of justice?" Wanda, who also had little contact with the outside world, tilted her head and looked at Gern with curiosity.

When Pedro heard the word "justice," he visibly froze, even though he was associated with Nekomamushi and Inuarashi.

Before their two bosses went on an adventure, they gathered a lot of information from the outside world.

Therefore, he knows a lot about what's happening outside!

Thinking of this, Pedro subconsciously moved behind Guern.

When his gaze fell on the cloak of justice behind Gern, his pupils contracted slightly, as if he recognized something.

"You're in the Navy?!"

“Wanda, Sister Ribo! His cape… that’s the navy insignia.”

"Navy?" Wanda was taken aback. "What's that?"

Of course, Libo wasn't much better off, staring at Pedro with a bewildered tilt of her head.

Pedro did not answer the two men, but looked directly at Guern and asked in a deep voice, "Why is the Navy here?"

“Me?” Gern put down his cutlery, slowly stood up, and a faint smile appeared on his lips: “Don’t worry, I’m not here to arrest anyone.”

He paused, his gaze sweeping over the crowd before finally settling on Pedro: "I'm only interested in the Woolen Duchy."

By the way...find a suitable partner.

"Partner?" Ribo blinked, then suddenly leaned closer. "You want Ribo to be your partner?"

Gern looked at her and chuckled softly, "If you'd like."

Lipo's eyes lit up instantly, her eyes crinkling with excitement as she exclaimed, "Then Lipo wants to be a hero's partner!"

Looking at the naive Ribo, Pedro frowned and stepped forward: "Ribo, don't be impulsive! The Navy and we are not on the same side!"

Gren looked at Pedro and said calmly, "Pedro, right? You seem to know something about the outside world."

Pedro raised his hand and gripped the hilt of the sword on his back, without denying it.

At that moment, Wanda tugged at Pedro's sleeve and whispered, "Pedro, he doesn't look like a bad person. His smile is so gentle..."

“Wanda, a gentle smile doesn’t mean you’re a good person!” Pedro replied helplessly.

Just then, the restaurant owner walked over, holding a large bag of money, and said to Lippo with a smile, "Lippo, this is your money."

Libo looked at the bag of money, and tears welled up in her eyes again: "My money...it's back?"

"This guest gave me several gold coins as soon as he walked in, so you don't need to pay anything."

(The Woolen Principality doesn't use Beli, but gold is the hard currency.)

However, thanks to you bringing this guest, we've sold out of all our ingredients!

“I know exactly how much I can eat,” Gern patted her shoulder and laughed. “Your little carrot wallet isn’t even enough to fill a tooth gap!”

“Sister Lipo, he…” Pedro was about to say something when Lipo interrupted him.

"Pedro goes without saying, Guern is absolutely, absolutely a good person!"

Chapter 78 Gaining Trust

In Crescent Village, outside the restaurant, sunlight filters through the leaves, casting dappled shadows.

Pedro pulled Wanda and Lipo under a large tree, his expression serious and his voice low.

"Listen to me, the navy is not a group of heroes!"

They are the World Government's army, specifically tasked with capturing pirates!

"Pirates?" Wanda tilted her head, her fluffy tail swaying gently. "What are pirates?"

"They're bad guys!" Pedro clenched his fists, trying to recall the information that Nekomamushi and Inuarashi had mentioned.

"They burned, killed, looted, and committed all sorts of atrocities!"

"Then aren't the Navy heroes for catching bad guys?" Ribo blinked her pink eyes and asked innocently.

Pedro was momentarily speechless, his ears twitching involuntarily: "Uh... well, I heard that adventurers were also..."

"Hey! Pedro." Wanda's expression darkened. "You don't actually like pirates who commit murder, arson, and all sorts of evil deeds, do you?"

“No! Wanda.” Pedro waved his hand hurriedly, “I…I…” Pedro was speechless for a moment, having gotten himself into a mess.

"It was Libo who was treating, but Gern still paid for the meal in advance!" Libo said, hands on her hips, with a straight face.

"So, he's clearly a good person! You also said the Navy is righteous."

"Sister Lipo, things aren't that simple!" Pedro was so anxious he was scratching his head.

"Boss Nekomamushi said that although the Navy catches pirates, they also..."

"Also what?" Wanda pressed coldly, now strongly suspecting that her friend had been led astray.

Pedro opened his mouth, only to find that his knowledge of the Navy was limited to a few words.

After stammering for a while, he could only manage to squeeze out, "Anyway, they're not good people!"

"Hmph!" Libo puffed out her cheeks and gave Pedro's head a hard tap.

Nekomamushi and Inuarashi both went out to adventure.

Their fate is unknown, and you're still listening to them? Do you also intend to sneak out?

“I…” Pedro covered his head, which was throbbing from the blow, and was speechless for a moment.

"And!" Libo's eyes suddenly lit up, and she jumped up excitedly.

"Gern can make carrots jump out of the ground by themselves!"
