Chapter 2

In Qiao Ye's eyes, the giant was a young, ordinary office worker. In order to save time, Zhao Wenhai always ate breakfast on his way to the company. Today, as usual, he was on his fixed route to the company when he unexpectedly saw a cute primitive man staring at him expectantly, so he couldn't help but stop.

He carefully observed the primitive pet dressed in the clothes of a Coen woman. Judging from the dirtiness of the clothes, it must have been a stray for a long time. He didn't know if it had been lost by its owner or if a bored Coen had taken the opportunity to put a funny outfit on it.

Because Joe didn't look as dirty as a stray dog, nor was he aggressive, and even made a surprised and adorable expression, it instantly stirred up his heart for someone who never had the chance to keep a native human pet.

The young man didn't dare touch it. Firstly, he was eating breakfast and thought it was dirty, which would be bad for his hands. Secondly, he was afraid it would bite him. He squatted down a little distance away from it, looking at its longing yet slightly frightened eyes. He glanced at the bun in his hand, ate a few large bites quickly, leaving a third of it, and then handed it to Qiao Ye, saying, "What an adorable little Yuanren! Here, take it!"

Joe saw the monstrous giant approaching him like a mountain, but he was currently leaning against the corner of the wall. However, it seemed that the giant wasn't a bad guy and was preparing to feed him? Then he heard a string of gibberish and saw the leftover buns, which confirmed his guess.

Qiao Ye stepped back, getting even closer to the corner of the wall. He looked at the remaining saliva-covered meat bun, which had been gnawed clean, and instinctively swallowed hard. Then, he instinctively took the bun. After taking it, Qiao Ye realized what he had done and stared at the food in his hand, not knowing what to do.

Joe observed the other party, not intending to eat. Even if he turned into a dog, he wouldn't eat food offered by a strange person, let alone food with the meat filling bitten off and drool left on it! Joe frowned.

The young man was quite surprised to see him holding the food without eating it. He muttered to himself, "I didn't expect this native to be so vigilant, like he's been trained. Could it be that he got lost from his owner?"

Without making a sound, he activated the holographic camera function on his personal wrist terminal, took a holographic photo of it, and then tentatively tried to touch his neck.

Joe didn't know what he was saying, but he felt a small blue screen appear briefly. He guessed it might be a technological product of this world. When he saw the other person's hands, which could snap his neck, reaching out to touch him, he suddenly felt a sense of crisis. Startled, he slipped away and ran away.

After getting some distance away, Qiao turned back defensively and saw the other person stand up, glance at her, and then leave.

"That's terrifying!"

Qiao patted his chest and breathed a sigh of relief. Remembering that he was now a pet in this dream world, he pinched his face to feel the texture. It was probably normal for the ruler of this world to want to pet him because he was so cute and adorable. Wasn't that how he reacted when he saw a cute cat?

However, looking at his dark, wounded skin and long fingernails, he couldn't really be considered cute.

The thought of being a pet made him feel uncomfortable all over. Being petted didn't seem like something to be proud of.

Zhao Wenhai, who took the holographic photo of Qiao Ye, happily uploaded it to his WeChat Moments on the social messaging app miTu, with the caption:

On my way to work, I encountered a very wary creature. It wouldn't eat the food I gave it; it must have been trained. It looked like it was lost.

—— [Hologram]

The technology of the Cohen people is very advanced. The network is connected to the Cohen people's brain mental domain through a personal terminal implanted in their wrist. As long as the brain issues a command, it can easily connect to the network, and pictures and videos can be directly projected onto their retina. By adjusting, they can even be holographically immersive and perceive the touch and breath of the hologram.

When this hologram was uploaded to WeChat Moments, people immediately clicked to view it, experiencing it firsthand and even touching the original human figure. One person commented:

—Hao Ge: Wow, this primitive human feels amazing, so soft! I can almost smell a pleasant primitive human scent, it doesn't feel like it's been wandering for a long time.

—Zhao Wenhai: I was very wary of it because I couldn't actually touch it; I was afraid of being bitten.

——Cheng Cheng: This one looks like it got lost. We can take it home and raise it. It doesn't eat much. My dog ​​is so cute. When I get home from get off work, I can't stop touching it!

—Zhao Wenhai: Sigh, I can't even support myself, so I'd better give up. Raising Yuan people is too troublesome and too expensive.

—Sister Sang: Hahaha, so cute! How come I can see the disgust in his eyes? Did you not give him any meat?

—Zhao Wenhai: After taking a closer look, it's true. This original human was quite picky; he wouldn't even eat the skin of a steamed bun!

—Zhang Chong: Why don't we catch them? Let's have some Primal Hot Pot!

—Zhao Wenhai: I am a fan of the Primitive People. They are so cute, how could you bring yourself to bite them?

—Zhang Chong: I've tried it, and it tastes pretty good. You'll know once you try it, really!

—Zhao Wenhai: Don't tell me this, I'm speechless...

Joe was unaware that he had been scanned and photographed with a hologram, nor did he know what others thought. He didn't throw away the piece of steamed bun in his hand; he didn't intend to eat it. He was only holding it because he couldn't find a trash can. He didn't have the habit of littering, and besides, he looked at the street, which was very clean, and he couldn't bear to ruin the clean environment.

He immediately saw the automated robots cleaning the streets. They would accurately clean up any litter, such as leaves or debris. Qiao was amazed. This saved sanitation workers from being exposed to the wind, sun, and rain. This technology is really great.

Suddenly, a dirty, thin human appeared. Qiao Ye saw him staring at him as if he was about to pounce. Qiao Ye was startled. Looking at the wolf-like eyes of the other man and the bun in his hand, he realized that the man wanted to snatch the bun. He quickly put the bun behind his back.

Just as I was thinking that if the robot attacked me, I would throw it to it to eat, I saw the human walk up to the garbage robot and start punching and kicking it, then making a sound: "Aba aba aba, ah..."

Joe was also baffled, wondering what he was up to. He was acting like a lunatic. Didn't the people here speak human language? Even if they became pets, didn't people of the same species have their own language? Had humanity degenerated to the point of losing its language and civilization?

Then, he saw the robot emit a blue light and scan the person up and down, and then it said: "Original human has been detected approaching and attacking. Based on the judgment, he needs edible food waste from the wet garbage. 500 grams can be given."

Joe only heard the robot babbling an audio message before some trash—discarded food—fell out.

The skinny man immediately picked it up and started eating it, not caring about the dirt at all. Qiao felt nauseous watching him and couldn't bear to watch anymore!

He wanted to know if the man could speak, so he said, "Hey, this is dirty! You can't eat it! You'll get sick!"

The man glanced at him warily, his expression fierce, as if he were protecting the food from him.

Qiao Ye: "..."

He sighed and muttered to himself, "Forget it, why bother arguing with a madman..."

The thought that he was also a crazy, beastly class made Qiao feel depressed. This dream was really not a good experience. Is there a worse experience than dreaming of being a homeless animal?

He moved a little further away from the madman who ate garbage, stopping thinking about the scene. He looked at the steamed bun in his hand, and his body instinctively made him swallow. He rubbed his stomach; he was really hungry.

The feeling of hunger was too real, and Joe was filled with anxiety. What should he do if he didn't wake up?

Could it be that he really traveled through time? To another world?

Unable to resist the nausea of ​​hunger, Qiao finally gave in. She carefully removed most of the saliva-covered side of the bun with her hand, feeling it was clean enough, and then ate it with peace of mind. The taste... was so delicious! It seemed she was really hungry; everything tasted good!

He held the trash in his hand high and threw it into the trash can, which was taller than himself. Just then, a Cohen child saw him throwing away trash and pointed at him in surprise, exclaiming, "Dad, look! That primitive man can throw trash into the trash can!"

Joe also heard the exclamation. Although he didn't know what was being said, he immediately realized it was because of his own actions. He thought about his social class and realized that if he saw a dog picking up trash and throwing it in a trash can, it would also attract attention. He was now playing the role of that dog.

What a terrible analogy! He didn't want to attract any attention, so he quietly slipped away.

He was still very hungry. Looking at the position of the sun, it was almost ten o'clock.

Walking along the main road, he arrived at the center of a commercial city with many giants. Although there were many giants, he was very cautious and tried to stay in the corners to avoid attracting attention.

There were many food stalls here, and the aroma made his mouth water.

He observed for a moment and realized that many of the foods here were familiar to him, not much different from those in his own world. The only oddity was the enormous size of the food, two or three times the size of what he was used to! He even saw a potato that was the size of a basketball!

These giants were queuing up at the window to buy food. When they saw Joe standing nearby, some of them would instinctively move away, probably because he was very clean and therefore didn't seem to be disliked much.

Suddenly, a slender female giant monster handed a bamboo skewer of meat to Qiao Ye: "What an adorable little Yuanren, want some?"

"Be careful, he might grab you!" A male giant stood beside the female giant, looking somewhat wary of Joe.

"It's okay, look how cute he is, he's still wearing clothes!"

Joe was taken aback. The giantess's voice was quite gentle, and her attitude was very careful and kind. Was she feeding him?

Joe glanced at the two of them; they seemed to be a couple. Unable to resist his hunger, he leaned closer to smell the aroma of the meat. "Eat up! Eat up! Why wouldn't you eat what I'm being offered!"

He carefully reached out and took the skewer, put the meat in his mouth, and although he didn't know what kind of meat it was, it was very chewy and absolutely delicious!

The girl was stunned. She didn't expect this primitive man to take her bamboo skewer so naturally and eat it. He was so human-like. He must have been trained. Was he lost?

The girl was clearly delighted and reached out to touch his head. Joe noticed and immediately jumped away from her large hand. Food can be fed, but people cannot be touched! This is a matter of principle and also a matter of safety!

The girl was pulled away by the man, while Joe stood there, holding a skewer and taking a bite of meat. His cheeks were bulging, and his mouth was full of oil. He didn't know how cute he looked in the eyes of the Cohen people, instantly attracting the attention of many young Cohen people around him.

"Wow, Xiao Yuanren looks so cute eating! Should we give him some food?"

"He seems quite docile, he shouldn't scratch or bite anyone, right?"

"Look at him eating, he's just like a human being!"

...

Being watched by so many Titans made Joe a little scared, but when he found out that Titans were offering him food, how could he refuse? Soon, he had several skewers of meat in his hand.

He only accepted clean food; he wouldn't accept leftovers or food thrown on the ground. This choice surprised the Cohens, who discovered the intelligence of this primitive man and even deliberately let Joe choose as well.

"It's so smart! Look, it won't eat the food you've already eaten!"

"I've never seen this primitive human on this street before. Is it new here?"

"It seems to have an owner, but it's probably lost."

"Oh, it won't let anyone touch it, it's a proud beast."

Joe couldn't understand what they were saying, but he could understand their tone and read some of their expressions.

A lowly Earthling, suddenly transported to another world and reduced to a pet, can only survive by being cute. What a pity!
