"Nono, are you ready? A new world is coming~"
Xu Nuo nodded, "Ready!"
The familiar white light and dizziness came, and Xu Nuo was still thinking at the last second, "What will he be like this time...Hubby, please wait for me..."
…
Sunlight filtered through the massive, ancient trees, barely filtering through the gaps between their wide leaves, falling upon the young man sleeping soundly in the shade. His skin was delicate, his lips rosy, and his chestnut hair lay softly against his back. Atop his head, two creamy-yellow, semicircular ears loomed faintly through the fluffy hair.
Xu Nuo opened his eyes, stretched comfortably, and rolled over in the shade of the tree trunk, away from the sun. The space beneath the trunk was still sparsely covered with moss, and it was cool and pleasant. He began to feel sleepy, and was about to fall asleep again.
"Nono! Don't sleep! I'm going to upload the plot!" 666 raised his voice so loud that it hurt Xu Nuo's ears.
The sleepy boy nodded, climbed up and sat up, leaning against the thick tree trunk, listening to 666's words while looking around.
The surrounding environment was very similar to the primitive jungle in the real world. The trees looked like they had never been interfered with by humans. The branches were thick and the leaves were as big as banana leaves and could be used as palm-leaf fans. However, Xu Nuo took a quick look around. He had never seen most of these plants before, but their effects and names always inexplicably emerged in his mind.
"Story transmission completed!"
At the same time, a large plot flooded into Xu Nuo's mind.
This world is different from the others. It's the ancient world of orcs. The people here are collectively called orcs. Unlike humans, there are no women here, only men. Men are divided into males and females, and the combination of the two can produce offspring.
The reason why orcs are called orcs is that most male orcs can switch freely between human form and the beast form they belong to, while female orcs only have human form and cannot transform into beasts, but they will retain their beast characteristics in human form.
Male orcs have excellent physical fitness and powerful self-healing abilities, and their beastly agility and aggressiveness are more suitable for hunting and survival. However, female orcs are not like this and their bodies are more fragile. Therefore, the male-to-female ratio in the orc world is seriously unbalanced, and females who can give birth to offspring are precious and are regarded as treasures.
The Orc world worships a single deity: the Beast God. Powerful tribes have orc priests who specifically communicate with the Beast God and aid their tribe. This position is highly respected. Priests are not elected by the tribe; rather, only those chosen by heaven at birth can become priests. Therefore, the birth of a priest is extremely rare.
Xu Nuo is a priest of the Giant Tree Tribe. He was born during the rainy season. A drizzle had just fallen and the sun came out quickly. A light rainbow appeared in the sky. The Giant Tree Tribe had never seen such a colorful sky. Xu Nuo naturally became a priest of the Giant Tree Tribe who was born with a mission.
"66... Is this considered a scam? It feels like just a coincidence."
"No, no! The Beast God does exist in the Orc world. No matter what happens in the world, it is decided by the Beast God. Therefore, Nono's priesthood is genuine!"
Xu Nuo nodded. The golden finger that had just enabled him to automatically identify plants also had a reason. This body seemed to have a special perception of the world. The subtle changes could be magnified in front of his eyes. Xu Nuo could clearly feel the surge of clouds in the distant sky and a beetle collecting honey on a flower a few meters away - the people here called bees honey bugs.
The promise of this world is a precious female, and the animal form she retains is the ears and short tail of a hamster. His preference for dark environments and sleepiness just now probably also come from the habits of a hamster.
"Have hamsters been domesticated by now?" Xu Nuo was silent for a long time, and finally accepted the reality. He raised his hand and scratched his round ears. The furry ears felt very good.
"This is the world of orcs. There are all kinds of animals and orcs~" 666 said cheerfully, "But there are no smart and cute puppies like me now!"
It actually acknowledged itself as a puppy. Xu Nuo curled his eyes but didn't refute it.
For the orc tribe, they can rely on hunting for survival and food, there are streams next to the tribe for drinking water, and they can find caves to live in, but they cannot find salt.
The orcs of this period have begun to understand the importance of salt. Orcs who do not consume salt for a long time will become dizzy, lose their hunting ability, and indirectly die.
Therefore, every tribe on land had to send a team of warriors to the seaside every year to exchange salt with the tribes living there. However, the tribes living in the sea had different habits from them, and their leaders were mostly cruel and irritable. The salt-exchanging journey was mostly extremely difficult, and there were even precedents of entire armies being annihilated.
The Giant Tree Tribe should have reached the time to exchange salt this year. Logically, as a female and a priest, Xu Nuo should not have gone, but the Giant Tree Tribe has had poor hunting harvests recently, and his lazy habits during the day have also been criticized. In the plot, Xu Nuo went to the seaside alone to prove himself and protect the tribe, and finally offended the leader of the sea. He was seriously injured by the brutal leader of the sea tribe and died in a foreign land.
"Master Priest, are you slacking off again?" A young man with rabbit ears came from a distance. Xu Nuo recognized him. He was a very popular female in the tribe named Ke. She was also one of the people in the plot who thought Xu Nuo was lazy and useless.
The promise in the plot was indeed useless. Xu Nuo had no way to refute it and could only smile awkwardly, "I'm collecting herbs."
Priests are born with the ability to identify plants and are the only orcs in the tribe who can use herbs to heal their fellow tribesmen. This is a unique ability bestowed upon them by God.
Sure enough, Ke nodded when he heard this and walked away carrying the wicker basket.
Xu Nuo breathed a sigh of relief, "How long until the salt is replaced?"
"There are still two days left. The clan leader will probably recruit a salt replacement team today."
"Who is the male protagonist of that world?"
666 sighed, "Why is Nuonuo suddenly thinking about the mission? Turns out she's just in love..."
Although 666 despised those who were in love, he still said, "The leader of the sea tribe is the male protagonist."
Xu Nuo's eyes lit up. "An animal from the sea! What is it? A shark? Or a whale? I've never seen one up close... I'm so excited!"
666 swallowed the truth in the end and silently looked forward to seeing the host's reaction when he saw his lover's true animal form.
Xu Nuo hummed a few lines of song with satisfaction, looked down at the messy plants on the ground, sorted and collected them, and walked away with ease.
