Chapter 37: Beast World (I)
"001, where is this?"
Chu Yun saw a vast expanse of white before his eyes, an empty space with no one in sight.
[This is the system space, a midway station for the host to rest after completing the mission.]
After staying in this empty and white space for a long time, one feels melancholy and lonely, which is very uncomfortable. Moreover, Chu Yun has just left the previous world and urgently needs someone to talk to him.
"001, chat with me, just about anything."
001 knew what he wanted to hear: [After you left, your soul left your body, and your body was in a state of myocardial infarction and death. Those three people buried your body.]
Chu Yun didn't care about this. If he suddenly died while talking, it would definitely scare them:
"Are they okay?"
001 looked at the scene after that small world on campus. The three people cried bitterly and stared at Chu Yun blankly. Chu Yun's soul left her body and her beautiful appearance faded little by little and turned into the appearance of the original owner.
After realizing that Chu Yun had completely left, he buried the body. Every day thereafter went on as usual, and 001 was always monitoring the screen through the system space.
[Huh?]
"What's wrong?"
The remaining footage of the three people was gone, and the system couldn't track them, but the panel still showed that the small world was operating normally, which meant they were still alive, so 001 didn't care.
【It's okay, they're still alive. 】
【Would you like to see it? 】
Chu Yun lowered his head and pursed his lips. Everyone could see that he was unhappy. He looked like a wet mushroom.
"I don't want to watch it anymore."
001 didn't feel good seeing him like this either. He wondered if a system was supposed to be so heartless and emotionless. He shook his head to clear away the inexplicable emotion.
[Task settlement in progress...]
[Campus Cannon Fodder, Difficulty Rating: C]
[Host Chuyun, mission completed, plot exploration degree: 25, mission completion degree: 95. Rating: C]
Chu Yun lowered his head even more. His grade was only C. He really wasn't suitable for the mission...
[…This is already amazing.]
001 tried to comfort Chuyun, watching him quietly raise his head, meaning to signal him to continue. 001 paused and continued:
"Many of my hosts have gone in and lost their lives, but you've managed to escape unscathed. That's already amazing."
Chu Yun was very scared after hearing this and thought that the cannon fodder mission was too dangerous. How could he lose his life?
In fact, the mission requires the cannon fodder to die, so the cannon fodder must die inside, and finally the soul will be taken out by the system.
It’s just that Chu Yun was lucky, and the ending of the last cannon fodder in the first world was to be expelled from the campus.
"So I'm pretty impressive then... My missions are pretty difficult... There are two of them!"
Chu Yun showed his true self in front of 001 and started to shake his head in a smug manner.
[Mm-hmm, very impressive. You'll need to draw the next mission world yourself. No need to wait until you've rested enough.]
But Chu Yun wanted to enter the next world right now. He got bored of staying in the system space in just a short while.
"I've rested enough, come on."
【Sure? 】
"Um!"
A row of cards suddenly appeared in front of me. They all had the same patterns and no task hints at all. Although I drew them myself, it was no different from random selection.
Chu Yun randomly clicked on a card, and the picture on the card was a vibrant forest.
He paused, feeling a little panicked.
There it is again, that unpleasant sixth sense.
"001, can I…"
He didn't finish his words.
A dazzling white light flashed, and when he opened his eyes again, he found himself in a strange world. But the moment Chu Yun opened his eyes, he wanted to go back. He felt that he could still stay in the system space for a while.
Is that a mosquito buzzing in front of me? Is it the same size as a praying mantis?!
There were lush and towering trees all around. Chu Yun landed beside a small river. Without having time to take a closer look, he turned around and ran away. If he was bitten, his flesh would be sucked dry!
Run! Run with your dead legs!
001 speaks: [Jump into the water!]
Hiding underwater would indeed be better, but the problem is that Chu Yun can't swim!
【……】
Chu Yun used all his strength to run to the entrance of a cave. Once he got there, the mosquitoes stopped coming in.
The muscles in his calves were sore and swollen, and Chu Yun collapsed to the ground, motionless.
"001, where am I now? A wilderness survival story? That's too unlucky!"
001 After reading the mission introduction of this world, I just want to say that this is not the worst.
[Welcome to the world of Beast World, now for level assessment...]
[Host: Chu Yun]
[Vital Strength: D, Intelligence: D, Luck: F (seems a bit unlucky), Charm: S+, Beauty: max! Overall Rating: ...]
Chu Yun didn't have time to digest what Beast World Literature was. He just listened to the level assessment with a nervous look on his face. 001 said that only those with level B and above could freely choose to stay or leave the mission.
001 looked at Chu Yun's serious and nervous face and felt like laughing. The mechanical voice paused and he looked at the C on the system panel without saying a word.
A flash of electricity passed by.
【Grade rating: B】
Yay! He's also been upgraded. From now on, he can stay or leave whenever he wants. That's awesome!
"001 I scored so badly on my last mission, can I still improve my level?"
Chu Yun has his own little thoughts and wants 001 to praise him... The unfamiliar environment around him makes him very scared and he needs encouragement.
[I told you you're great, don't be afraid... I'm here for you]
Chu Yun felt an inexplicable sense of security, and his fear really dissipated a little. Although 001's tone and voice had not changed, Chu Yun could hear the gentle comfort in it.
[So, am I releasing the mission background now? ]
"Uh-huh!"
【Now release the task background:】
This is a novel about traveling through the Beast World. The heroine, Luo Qianqian, and her companions went on a trip. Unfortunately, the bus they were riding encountered a landslide and fell off a cliff. This fall sent Luo Qianqian into another dimension - the Beast World Continent.
[The environment here is harsh. There are no humans, only orcs and wild beasts, and they are divided into male and female.]
The Beast World continent has a serious imbalance in the male-female ratio, with females accounting for only one-thirtieth of the beast population. To ensure fertility, polyandry is practiced here, and it's not uncommon for a female to have more than ten beast husbands. Females are absolutely protected in this world.
[In this way, Luo Qianqian, relying on her intelligence and beauty, was pursued by a group of outstanding beastmen and took in seven or eight beastmen, living a happy and harmonious life.]
Chu Yun knew something was wrong after hearing this, and he asked 001 what role he played.
001 stopped talking and opened the panel for Chuyun to see for himself.
Chu Yun didn't say anything after reading it.
This time, Chu Yun’s identity is still cannon fodder. He is obsessed with the beauty of the heroine and pursues her. He is also an orc.
Unfortunately, Chu Yun is a rabbit beastman. Males seeking females must demonstrate their hunting skills by giving away prey. The bigger the prey, the more it demonstrates their strength.
In the book, most of the suitors of the heroine Luo Qianqian are powerful carnivorous orcs. So how does the original owner, a vegetarian orc, go hunting?
He thought of a good idea. He stole other people's prey and presented it to the heroine.
In the Beast World, there is fierce competition among males. Without the constraints of modern civilization, they fight when there is a conflict. The consequences of a fight can range from losing limbs to losing their lives.
The cannon fodder was eventually discovered stealing prey and was killed directly, simply going offline.
This time, the cannon fodder in the beast world gets even less space in the book than the one in the campus novel. The original owner's existence is just to highlight the charm of the heroine and the strength of the male protagonists.
So Chu Yun’s mission this time was simpler, there was only one thing - to steal the prey and present it to the heroine.
Chu Yun was devastated after understanding the background of the mission. Why were all his missions about stealing things?
And it's obvious that if he steals prey, he will be beaten to death. Why not just tell him to die?!
