Chapter 11 I Became a Beast God in the Beast World (Part 1)
When the white light faded, Zhou Jue found himself standing in a dense forest.
The towering ancient trees provided ample shade, with sunlight filtering through their layers of leaves and casting dappled shadows. The air was filled with the scent of grass and flowers, fresher than anywhere else on Earth.
"Brother Tongzi, where are we?" Zhou Jue looked around, gripping a pistol warily.
Current coordinates: Beast World Continent (Energy Level: Low)
[Mission: Survival]
[Time Limit: 7 days]
[Energy Reserve: 5% (2% deducted for travel energy, 1% for normal system mode)]
"Please replenish your energy resources as soon as possible to increase your chances of survival and unlock more system functions."
"The Beast World?" Zhou Jue frowned. "Is there any danger?"
"Data shows that humans in this world can transform into animal forms, known as beastmen. They live in tribes, and no high-level threats have been detected so far."
Zhou Jue breathed a sigh of relief, hid the pistol behind his back, and then took out the notes compiled by Sun Jiuchou to read through.
Article 1: Upon arriving in the new world, observe the environment and only take action after confirming it is safe.
"Okay, let's explore the environment first." Zhou Jue carefully observed his surroundings.
The plants here are clearly different from those on Earth. Some trees are hundreds of meters tall, with bark that has an unusual silvery sheen. Flowers of various colors grow on the ground—purple, blue, and gold—so beautiful they seem unreal.
After looking for a while but not seeing any people or animals, he squatted down and picked up a plant at his feet.
"Brother Tong, start the test!"
"Unknown plant detected, analyzing..."
【Crescent Moon Grass】
Energy value: 0.2%
【Characteristics: Slightly sweet, can relieve cough and reduce fever】
[Note: Mass collection is recommended]
Zhou Jue nodded and began collecting plant samples.
"52 samples of Crescent Moon Grass have been collected, yielding 2% of the maximum energy."
“After deducting 10 Crescent Grass plants, the remaining 42 plants have been stored in the host’s Starry Secret Box.”
Upon hearing the system's voice, Zhou Jue decided to pause collecting Crescent Grass and check where the Crescent Grass in the Starry Secret Box was planted, making sure it wasn't mixed up with the previous ones. He then sank his consciousness into the Starry Secret Box.
!!
"Brother Tong! The Starry Sky Box has become two!" Zhou Jue exclaimed in surprise!
Previously, it had a square purple appearance with three sun prints, but now there's an extra one. The two are closely intertwined, and the appearance looks like a jungle with a vague beast shape, which is hard to see clearly.
The crescent grass stored in the Starry Secret Box is now placed on the ground of the new box.
"Host, there isn't just one Starry Sky Box. Each time you locate a planet and collect resources and energy, you can light one up."
!!! !!! !
A soldering iron! I have a bold guess, but I dare not say it.
"Can new resources only be collected and stored in new secret boxes?"
"That's right~ Please collect them as soon as possible, accumulate more energy~ to unlock more features~"
Zhou Jue calmed down; this was a good thing. He had been worried that they wouldn't be able to carry much stuff when they went to more planets, but now that they had more space, it was really...
Thai Cool!
Zhou Jue squatted down and started digging. The new Starry Sky Box didn't have any soil yet; you need soil to plant things! After digging, he had the system collect air, aiming to restore the original ecology as much as possible.
Seeing that there was already a large plot of land in the new space, and that the crescent grass had been planted, they began to continue collecting plants.
A glowing blue flower, a grass with spiraling leaves, a vine bearing red fruit…
Just as she was squatting beside a peculiar herb, a faint sobbing sound came from not far away.
"Huh?" Zhou Jue immediately became alert, put away the boundary-breaking shovel, gripped his pistol, and walked towards the direction from which the sound came.
At the base of a large tree, Zhou Jue found a small rabbit. It was pure white, but had a noticeable wound on its left foreleg that was bleeding.
"Brother Tongzi, is this an ordinary rabbit?"
"No, according to the energy fluctuations, this is an orc cub."
Zhou Jue was stunned for a moment, "A beastman? Then it can turn into a human?"
"Yes, and its injuries are very serious; it may die if it doesn't receive timely treatment."
The little rabbit looked at Zhou Jue with its big, timid eyes and let out a soft sob.
Zhou Jue's heart softened: "The orcs here don't eat people, right? Or maybe they don't eat each other? I don't want a situation like the farmer and the snake."
"According to data analysis, the orcs here only eat ordinary wild animals and gathered fruits, and the rabbit orcs are very weak in the beast world."
"Then let's save them." Zhou Jue took out a medical kit from the Starry Sky Box: "There might be an unexpected surprise."
She carefully picked up the little rabbit, took out alcohol and gauze, and began to treat the wound.
"Don't be afraid, sweetheart, I'll heal you," Zhou Jue comforted softly.
The little rabbit seemed to understand her words, obediently remaining still while she treated its wounds.
After cleaning the wound, Zhou Jue gave it some water and then bandaged it with gauze.
"Alright, everything should be fine now." Zhou Jue breathed a sigh of relief.
Just then, the little rabbit's body suddenly emitted a white light.
"What's going on?" Zhou Jue was startled.
The white light faded, the little rabbit disappeared, and in its place appeared a little boy who looked only seven or eight years old.
The little boy had snow-white hair, pointed ears, and beautiful red eyes. He was dressed in simple animal skin clothes, and his left arm was still wrapped with the gauze that Zhou Jue had just used to bandage him.
"*********?" the little boy's voice rang out.
"What are you saying in your gibberish, Brother Tong? I don't understand, what should I do?"
[Current energy reserve: 23%. The points shop is now open. 1% energy reserve can be exchanged for 10 points. The host can use points to exchange for fluency in the local language.]
Zhou Jue looked at the points mall, where there was a dazzling array of goods. He couldn't afford this, and he couldn't afford this either... He directly searched for "language proficiency".
'100 points for language proficiency' - I didn't hesitate and successfully redeemed it with 10% of my energy.
There are many plants in this world, so there is no shortage of energy. Moreover, she understands the principle that "a workman must first sharpen his tools if he wants to do his work well." After a while, her ears and throat started to itch and hurt.
"Are you... are you the Beast God?" the little boy's childish voice rang out again.
"Beast God?" Zhou Jue was taken aback. "I am not some kind of Beast God."
“But only the Beast God can heal the injured beastmen,” the little boy said, his eyes shining with admiration. “And the Beast God has a divine light about him.”
"A divine light?" Zhou Jue asked, puzzled.
“Yes, it’s that kind of light that makes people feel at ease.” The little boy nodded. “My name is Xiaobai, and I’m from the Snow Rabbit tribe.”
Zhou Jue recalled that the system's energy might have produced some kind of effect during the treatment just now.
"Little White, what is this Beast God you're talking about?"
"The Beast God is the guardian deity of our Beast World," Xiaobai said matter-of-factly. "Legend has it that the Beast God saves the suffering Beastmen and brings us hope."
Zhou Jue's heart skipped a beat, "What does that Beast God look like?"
"No one has ever seen the true face of the Beast God, but legend says that the Beast God can heal injuries and bring wondrous things." Xiao Bai looked at Zhou Jue. "You are the Beast God, right?"
“I…” Zhou Jue hesitated for a moment, then remembered the knowledge Sun Jiuchou had taught her. Perhaps impersonating the messenger of the Beast God would help her gain a foothold in this world.
“I am not the Beast God, I am… an envoy sent down by the Beast God.” Zhou Jue decided to go with the flow.
"Beast God Envoy!" Little White immediately knelt down. "Please save our Snow Rabbit Tribe!"
"What happened?" Zhou Jue quickly helped Xiaobai up.
"Everyone in our tribe is sick. Our chieftain said that if this continues, our Snow Rabbit tribe will disappear." Little White's eyes were filled with tears.
Looking at Xiaobai's expectant eyes, Zhou Jue felt a surge of pity.
"Okay, I'll go with you to take a look."
"Really?" Little White jumped up excitedly. "That's wonderful! The divine messenger is willing to help us!"
“But I have one condition,” Zhou Jue said seriously, “You have to help me collect all kinds of plants from this forest.”
"No problem!" Xiaobai patted his chest and assured him, "I know this forest very well, I recognize all the plants!"
"Let's go then." Zhou Jue put away the medical kit and followed Xiaobai toward the Snow Rabbit tribe.
Along the way, Xiaobai kept introducing various plants to Zhou Jue.
"This is a crescent moon grass, this is an amethyst flower, this is..."
As Zhou Jue listened, she secretly noted down the characteristics of these plants. At the same time, she was also thinking about her next course of action.
Since they have been mistaken for messengers of the Beast God, they will use this identity to help these beastmen and collect more plant samples at the same time.
Since the mission is to survive for seven days, having a tribe to protect you is better than adventuring in the wild.
"Little White, how many people are in your tribe?"
"Not many, only fifty-odd." Xiaobai said somewhat dejectedly, "Our tribe used to have several hundred people, but the number has been decreasing over the years."
"Why?"
"Because our Snow Rabbit tribe is too weak, we are often bullied by other tribes." Little White bit her lip. "Moreover, we don't know how to treat diseases, so when we get sick, we can only wait to die."
Zhou Jue nodded, having made up his mind.
It seems that this Snow Rabbit tribe really needs help. Going to a large tribe would be less ideal. Offering help in times of need is always better than adding to someone's already good fortune. She can use the medical knowledge and medicine she brought from Earth to help them establish themselves.
"My Lord, we have arrived at our tribe," Little White said, pointing ahead.
Zhou Jue looked up and saw a simple tribe in front of him.
