I think you can't even imagine the happiness of a warlock.

The news of the hero has spread throughout the world during this period of time, and even the tavern owner has heard of it.

Although he had met guests from all over the world, this was the first time he heard Shushu's strange accent, and it was hard not to have some strange associations.

"Yes, I am the hero who will defeat the Demon King."

The boss, who was just joking at first, actually heard the words of revealing his identity. However, when he looked at the other party in shock, he found that the man who claimed to be a hero had disappeared out of thin air.

An inconspicuous hamster slid across the floor and behind the counter.

"It's weird, where are the people?"

Was that just an illusion or hallucination?

The boss attributed it to some kind of special ability rather than his own eyesight, and decided to organize his words a little before spreading the news that the hero had visited his tavern.

Jerry, who sneaked in, hid in a cave in the corner. He beat up the local rats inside and cast a spell to clean them up. Then he carefully observed the feedback from the drone.

It has always been so cost-effective...

As it traveled during this period, it gradually realized that there seemed to be something wrong with this world.

It's like seeing flowers in the fog, even the most ordinary things give people a feeling of alienation.

It was like a bad actor, making the rat feel out of place no matter how he watched it.

It was as bizarre as if in a dream or drunk...

“Is there something wrong with this world?”

It raised questions to the two spectators.

"This is a big problem. First of all, calling non-humans and non-humanoid races monsters is a serious discrimination. Does that mean dragons are also monsters?"

"In many planes, dragons are indeed classified as a monster race, and heroes are mostly proud of slaying dragons."

"That's a generalization. Dragons don't just come in five colors."

For ordinary people who may not see a spellcaster or supernatural creature once in their lifetime, whether it is a five-colored dragon, a metallic dragon, a ferrous dragon, a gem dragon or any other dragon, they all look the same.

Even Chen Zhou sometimes felt that the Carnival Dragon, the Elf Dragon and the Le Tu Dragon were similar. He even thought that if the Le Tu Dragon stopped overeating and lost weight, it might look like an Elf Dragon.

"It's a pity that Lily has never seen Le Tulong lose weight. Maybe we can find a way to convince him to plan his diet properly."

Lily sighed. A real dragon's digestive system could handle any amount of energy, but the obesity caused by overeating in the Le Tu Dragon had always made her very cautious about her food, and she didn't dare to eat dried fish as much as she wanted.

"But healthy eating is not the topic today. Apart from that, don't you think this world is weird?"

Chen Zhou hesitated to speak after hearing this. In fact, the drone-type ice beast he released into the Demon King's City a few days ago was also shot down for the first time.

So he put all his efforts into prophecy, and finally after careful investigation, he traced back what happened in the entire plane within one or two hundred years.

Where he hesitated was whether or not to reveal the truth.

Spoilers are a very disrespectful and rude act.

"Then Rat, tell me your guess first?"

"Okay, okay, so it's related to the Circle of God after all? Could it be that someone is creating gods again?"

Jerry shook his head and expressed his opinion while watching the screen in front of him.

"I suspect that the situation in this world is similar to that of the Blue Planet. It is either a large-scale, long-term social experiment, or a super-large-scale reality show."

"Do you remember the doubts that Rat and the tavern owner just raised?"

It raises questions about how the population of the County of Siver has been maintained to this extent.

Compared with many races, human reproductive ability is actually not outstanding, and survival rate is the key to human development.

An orc tribe can give birth to hundreds or even thousands of individuals in one winter, and some of them even have the ability to fight and can go to war in the spring.

Although the kobolds are not as powerful, they can still fill the tribe's caves like a subway during rush hour.

The boss’ answer was “the damage ratio is different”.

But Jerry couldn't imagine how exaggerated the casualty ratio had to be in order for the human population of the Earldom of Svir to maintain its numbers.

Even if there were such exaggerated war losses, it would not be consistent with the racial capabilities of humans.

"Indeed, according to them, humans have already won the war, but maybe it's just that the people in the rear are not aware of the war on the front line. Maybe we can find out the specific reason when we go to the front line?"

Shushu agreed with this, but before that he planned to start a side quest - to participate in Count Casper's tournament election.

"Want to go?"

Chen Zhou took a look at Shushu's size.

"Using Transfiguration to become a human will cause you to lose your current..."

Wait, even if changing the caster's race through "Transfiguration" will change physical abilities, Jerry's situation is different from Chen Zhou's.

Chen Zhou's transformation is a debuff, but Jerry, a hamster, transforming into a human is a positive buff.

"No, can't I just go and participate in person?"

As a hero, what does it matter if you show your true face?

Until Jerry actually signed up for the competition as a hamster, Chen Zhou thought it was just a joke...

……

A month later, in Lionheart City, before the annual royal tournament began, an incredible piece of news spread like wildfire.

A hamster driving an iron golem signed up to participate in this conference.

Hamster?

That rodent that's not even as big as a human palm! ?

Many people thought this was just a cover-up, some kind of witty joke like voting for dogs as ministers.

But there are still people who place part of their bets on the mysterious hamster knight just for fun.

At the same time, Count Casper, who had been waiting for the hero for a long time but had no news, became furious when he heard this and immediately ordered his men to arrest the man who had made a joke in such an important event as the competition.

However, when they really found the person in charge of registration, they learned the information from him.

There was indeed a hamster that sneaked into this martial arts competition!

Chen Zhou couldn't figure it out: "In this kind of competition, you can't drive a mecha, transform into a magical girl, or cast a spell. How is Jerry going to win?"

"Rat Pack?"

Lily recalled the cat-and-mouse martial arts that Chen Zhou and Jerry had learned a long time ago.

"Impossible. Only when Crouching Lion Style and Rat Swarm Style are used together can it be a cat and mouse game. It is difficult for one person to exert the effect of that martial art alone."

What's more, after practicing so many martial arts, Chen Zhou only had the "Strength of Iron Heart" and the "Normal Attack" that returned to its original state. Even if he and Jerry were on stage at the same time now, they could not bring out the effect of the cat-and-mouse martial arts.

Lily was also confused and worried, so she quickly went to the bartender and ordered several snacks and drinks.

"Look, the rat's game has already begun."
