"Doesn''t this mean that we white wolves can evolve and gain any attribute we want after being named?", Shin asked.


    The dragon waspletely speechless when he heard this.


    He never once thought about it in that manner. All he imagined was that the white wolves were quite weak and couldn''t survive in the world.


    While that was true and the same happened a lot – many white wolf pups died – there were many that survived too.


    The humans hunt the white wolves because they were an easier target. The rates for them were quite low because anyone could hunt them, but that was long ago.


    Due to their greatly reduced number, now it was quite hard to find them.


    Obviously, the rate rose too. Of course, it wasn''t that high, but it could be considered as a decent amount whenpared with other wolves and beasts.


    Yes, for humans, beasts were not only ssified with ranks, they were ssified in terms of coins and stars at the same time.


    Especially the named beasts, almost all of them ranged from one gold coin to a hundred.


    This was for the lower ones. For stronger ones, one could easily earn 1000 gold coins by hunting them!


    Though, that would be quite difficult.


    In any case, that was not the topic of discussion at the moment.


    The dragon was just awed by Shin''s thinking. The way he thought and did things were abnormal.


    He looked at Shin''s hunting techniques which were not just about brute strength, he used tactics too such as luring the enemy out of their territory or hunting them while taking the higher ground.


    Such extraordinary thinking could only be disyed by extremely intelligent beings and extraordinary beasts that can fight on an equal level with dragons.


    Exceptions included humans, dwarves, and other simr races.


    "Are you sure you are a white wolf?", the dragon asked.


    He was genuinely surprised.


    There were three things that surprised the dragon.


    One – such a small wolf was able to hold a conversation with such a mighty dragon as himself.


    It might have been because the dragon had be his ve, but yes, the fact remained.


    Second – a wolf was as smart as a human or dragon.


    This could be seen in some wolves but they would be highly evolved ones.


    The dragon could see how small Shin was due to which he was surprised when he saw and heard the way Shin hunted and talked.


    These three reasons were more than enough to force the dragon to ask him such a question.


    "Haha, I believe I am.", Shinughed while answering.


    "…"


    The dragon became a bit suspicious because of theughter.


    There was nothing tough at here so yes, a bit of suspicion rose due to that.


    Shin felt a sense of uneasiness due to which he said something which finally prevented the dragon from being suspicious.


    "You might be wondering how such a small wolf is so strong and so intelligent…"


    It was as if Shin was boasting by saying that.


    "Yes.", the dragon replied.


    "Well, it''s because…"


    "Because?"


    "It''s because I have a name.", Shin thought that it was wise to say this rather than saying about the system and reincarnation bullsh*t.


    "Huh?"


    The dragon thought that it was misheard due to which he asked Shin to repeat himself.


    "What did you say?"


    "…"


    "I repeat, I am not a nameless beast!"


    "I have a name!"


    The moment he mentioned that the dragon froze for a moment.


    "…"


    He never imagined that the small wolf that he was looking down on was a named beast.


    Named beasts are naturally thought to be better survivors of nature due to which they automatically receive more luck and blessing from nature.


    Of course, that put them in a much higher position automatically.


    "Are you for real?", the dragon asked.


    He received a shock simr to the one during betrayal.


    "Yes."


    "Haha, what''s wrong?", Shinughed because the dragon had a weird expression on its face.


    He was somewhat jealous because a small wolf had a name while a mighty dragon like himself had no name.


    Shin understood this and thought of doing something fun.


    "Want me to name you?", he asked.


    "You?"


    "Naming me?"


    "Hahahaha!", the dragon burst intoughter when he heard that.


    ''?''


    "Did I say something funny?", Shin asked.


    "Haha."


    "No, it''s just that, a small wolf such as you was thinking of naming someone as me…"


    "That was quite funny!"


    "Hahaha!"


    As it was already mentioned, intelligent beasts could name themselves. It held true for a dragon too, however, if they were to name themselves, then they would receive almost no power boosts.


    That was the only reason why the dragon hadn''t named itself and was waiting for some stronger dragon or some stronger being toe and name him.


    And while waiting for that, he met Shin whom he considered tiny, who was ready to name him.


    Shin red at the dragon because he felt that the dragon was making fun of him by saying that.


    "Do you think that I can''t name you?", Shin asked.


    The dragon shook his head while continuing theughter.


    "Haha, of course, you can''t!"


    "Do you think lower ranked beasts can name a higher ranked one?", the dragonughed again and again which started to annoy Shin.


    ''Actually, I am curious about that too…''


    ''I wonder if I can name someone stronger than me…'', Shin wondered.


    He decided to name the dragon and started to think of a name.


    "Fine then, I will name you right now!", Shin got agitated and decided to name the dragon immediately.


    "Huh?"


    "Wait…"


    All of a sudden the dragon ceased theughter.


    Well, there was another rule in the world, a named beast could name an unnamed beast. Of course, the condition for that was that the unnamed beast would be the named beast''s subordinate or would obtain a lower rank!


    "Terran…"


    "From today, your name will be Terran!"


    "No!", the dragon raised his voice but unfortunately, Shin already named him after thinking for a moment.


    "…"
