Chapter 3 One second he was eating a chicken leg, the next he was in the beast world.
Lu Yuan picked up a piece of deboned fish for Yuan Yuan and casually asked her a question.
"Hey? How did you know? The more I look at her, the more she looks like her!"
"Come on! I'd rather believe she really did travel back from the Beast World."
This statement was echoed by others.
Who is Professor Gu?
Even the most beautiful women couldn't compare to a single jade dragon fern in his presence; how could he possibly have a child with anything other than a plant?
"No, what do you mean? They really do look alike, okay?"
"You're not the first person to say that."
"..."
Yuanyuan felt a void in her heart as she overheard their conversation. She wished Uncle Gu were her father.
"Yuanyuan, why aren't you eating? Is it not tasty?"
"No, it's delicious."
Lu Yuan gave them a wink, and the group quickly changed the subject.
"Yuanyuan, Uncle Lu Yuan said you can travel to the Beast World?"
Su Ping asked this question in order to ease her emotions.
Yuanyuan put down her chopsticks and nodded emphatically, "Really, I'm going back to the Beast World to do quests in a few days."
"..."
"What will happen if we don't go back?" Su Ping continued to ask.
No one else disturbed them; Su Ping was a well-known psychological expert at their base.
Yuanyuan shook her head honestly, "I don't know either. The system said it would come to pick me up in seven days."
"Can you tell me what you experienced when you went to the Beast World?"
“Sure!” Yuanyuan was overjoyed that someone finally believed her.
"I saw an aunt with cat ears and an uncle with golden ears. They pulled me out of the river and gave me a delicious fruit..."
Su Ping's expression grew increasingly grave. She was trapping herself in her own imaginary world, and if she continued like this, she might never wake up again.
Su Ping continued to guide her speech.
Finally, he shook his head at the group.
The others also stopped smiling. Even Su Ping couldn't do anything about it, which shows that the psychological problem was extremely serious.
"Can you hypnotize me?" Lu Zhe mouthed to her.
Su Ping shook her head, saying that such a young child might never wake up completely from hypnosis.
They were just thinking about how to help her get treatment.
The system in Yuanyuan's mind spoke up: "[Transmission is imminent. Please prepare, host...]"
[Countdown... three... two...]
Yuanyuan was holding a chicken leg that she had only taken a few bites of, and hadn't had a chance to ask any questions yet.
A flash of white light, and she vanished into thin air.
Everyone was stunned by the situation, and Lu Yuan was so frightened that he jumped up from his stool.
Where is Yuanyuan?
Where is Yuanyuan, who is so big?
Just vanished into thin air!!!
Everyone got up and searched around the cafeteria, with Lu Yuan even crawling under each table to look for them.
Finally, they searched the entire cafeteria but found nothing. They returned to their original seats and prepared to check the surveillance footage.
"What's this?"
Lu Yuan picked up a tablet from the stool where Yuan Yuan had been sitting.
The moment he touched the screen, a white light burst from the tablet, quickly subsiding.
Looking again, a strange scene appeared inside.
On the screen is a simple cave. The cave is not small. Inside is a stone bed that can accommodate four or five people, covered with a complete tiger skin.
The cave walls were decorated with animal bones and teeth obtained from hunting, as well as several tanned animal hides.
Soon the scene shifts to a panoramic view of a simple tribe, where several small animals are running and playing in the square outside the cave.
Several women with animal ears and wearing strapless animal skin dresses were chatting and laughing together by the square. Behind them were more than a dozen men with animal ears, shirtless, who were starting a fire and roasting meat.
"The special effects in this movie are so realistic!"
They tried to exit, but the screen remained unresponsive.
"Could this be the beast world that Yuanyuan was talking about?"
"How could there be orcs? They must be AI-generated."
"But this is too realistic?"
"With AI technology so advanced now, there are even more realistic ones, so it's nothing special."
"Look at that in the corner, isn't that... Yuanyuan?" Lu Yuan swallowed hard and pointed to the small figure in the corner of the square wearing an extra-small military uniform.
"Okay...it seems so."
She was still holding the half-eaten chicken leg in her hand, staring blankly at the scene before her.
"She...can she really travel through time?"
"No, that can't be, right?"
………
Yuanyuan looked at the scene before her; a simple tribe was laid out before her.
There were no houses, only curtains covered with black animal hides.
Several aunties wearing animal ears were chatting together in the square, while several uncles with animal ears were working not far away.
I'm a little confused. One second she was eating a chicken leg, and the next second she's here.
"System, didn't you say I could stay in the original world for seven days? Why did you send me back on only the fourth day?"
She was a little unhappy that the system had lied to her.
She hasn't even asked about her mother yet!
[Sorry, host, the previous mission was a beginner mission, and the reward only lasted for three days.]
Due to a system oversight, you weren't notified in advance. Here's a reward: a personal storage space.
The system also thoughtfully explained the uses of the personal space to her.
Just as Yuanyuan was about to speak, an old lady with colorful feathers in her hair walked towards them.
"Little one, welcome to our Black Tiger Tribe!"
For some reason, Yuanyuan noticed that the old lady was looking at her with unusually... excited eyes?
The voice was trembling.
"Don't be afraid, I am a shaman from the Black Tiger tribe. I will not harm you. I am glad you have come to our tribe."
"You...you know me?"
Although Yuanyuan is young, she has been bullied since childhood and is very sensitive to other people's words, so she must be very sensitive to malice.
The news that a female member of the Golden Lion tribe encountered a strangely dressed cub by the river, and that she was an emissary sent by the Beast God to deliver the cub to them, had already spread throughout the Endless Forest.
At first, they didn't believe it, but today the winged beastmen who went to investigate brought news that the females of the Golden Lion tribe are pregnant!
The old witch doctor led her across the square toward the cave.
She attracted everyone's attention along the way, and many small beastmen who had not yet transformed gathered around, staring at her curiously.
She actually understood all the squeaking and howling.
The orc uncles who were grilling meat were all staring intently at her.
At first, Yuanyuan was a little scared when she was suddenly faced with such a blatant gaze.
"Don't be afraid, little one, they mean no harm."
Yuanyuan nodded gently, clutching the half-eaten chicken leg in her hand.
The further she went, the more orcs she encountered, and they would all stop and stare at her curiously.
Several young orcs even smiled and offered sweet wild fruits and dried meat.
She was too overly enthusiastic to accept.
"Please accept it. Our tribe hasn't seen such a small female in many years. Everyone is very happy."
The old witch doctor stopped and let her accept their gift.
Yuanyuan had no choice but to accept it.
Seeing that she couldn't carry it, the old witch doctor waved his hand, instructing the men to take it to the cave he had prepared for her.
