"Hey...it hurts."

Xia Gu barely opened her eyes, only to find that her surroundings were extremely unfamiliar.

A hot, choking flame was burning at my feet.

She seemed to be deep in a cave, the chilly air blowing on her from the vent in front of her.

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have successfully transmigrated to the orc world! Host's vital signs are detected as weak; automatically binding a child-rearing system to the host… Estimated binding time: twenty minutes!]

A mechanical voice flashed through my mind.

Before Xia Gu could refuse, she felt as if her head was enveloped by some unknown force.

She shook her head frantically, trying to communicate with the "system" through her thoughts, but there was no response.

Summer Mushroom is a mutated poisonous mushroom. After the apocalypse, she was forced into the human world and joined a small human-established base. Mature Summer Mushroom possesses formidable abilities, comparable to a large-scale weapon. The base's higher-ups not only wanted to recruit her but also desired to completely possess her.

Xia Gu yearns for freedom and doesn't want to be tied to just one base, so they team up with other base members to trap Xia Gu in the explosion zone.

If Xia Gu wasn't a mushroom, she would indeed have been blown up.

In her last moments of consciousness, the microspore reshaped her body. However, she is currently in her larval stage and can only barely maintain a human form, unable to use most of her abilities.

Only the crystals inside zombie heads can restore her energy if she travels to the orc world.

Has she been unable to recover her energy?

[The host can choose to complete the task and receive the reward, which will be an energy crystal.]

The system's mechanical voice sounded again, and Xia Gu was startled, questioning it with her consciousness.

Can you overhear and read my thoughts?

[The host does not have permission to access.]

The system fell silent again.

Xia Gu slowly got up and realized that she was completely naked. She checked herself over and over again to make sure there were no other marks before she felt a little relieved.

I don't know where I am right now.

It's very likely that the system brought her here.

She clenched her fists tightly, a hint of disgust flashing in her eyes.

A childbirth system? That doesn't sound like a good thing. She has no chance of doing the mission.

She pulled over a nearby animal hide and wrapped it around herself.

"what?"

Beneath the animal hide was an unidentified creature wriggling erratically.

Summer Mushroom felt like its mycelium was about to stand up.

She suddenly lifted it up—a large, furry, warm snow leopard with black spots rushed into view.

The snow leopard's fur was soft and fluffy, and it carried a very fragrant and light snow scent. Xia Gu touched the snow leopard's nape with her finger, and instantly she was pinned to the ground by the big cat.

The already loose animal hide slid elsewhere, and her taut body clung tightly to the soft fur on the snow leopard's belly.

"Um...ahem!"

Hair flew onto my face.

A chilly smell assaulted my nasal cavity, as if my entire nasal cavity had been disinfected.

As a poisonous mushroom, Summer Mushroom is unlikely to feel fear towards some ferocious beasts.

She grabbed a tuft of fur that had spilled out from the snow leopard's chest and stared into its light blue pupils.

Beautiful and dangerous enough.

"You're awake? Don't move around, I've applied some medicine to your wound."

"?"

The snow leopard in the orc world...can it talk?

[Ding! System binding complete! Please check the world information yourself. The newbie gift pack is loading!]

The mechanical voice rang in my mind again.

A floating light screen appeared in front of them.

Xia Gu warily observed the large snow leopard overhead.

The snow leopard shook its fur, and half of its head actually passed through the screen, getting stuck in the middle of the screen, tilting its head and staring at her.

Apart from her, other beings should be invisible systems.

Xia Gu subconsciously manipulated her consciousness, and the light screen was put away.

"Thank you, can you let me go first?"

Knowing that she had been transported to another world, Xia Gu could only force herself to remain calm and not give herself away.

Sure enough, the snow leopard slowly got up.

Then, a halo of light flashed in front of Xia Gu.

The snow leopard has turned into an adult male!

He was shirtless, his skin as bright as snow, with a silvery-white freesia pattern on his chest, it was hard to tell whether it was a tattoo or a birthmark.

He has a mysterious aura and deep-set features.

A pair of fluffy, round, and broad ears stood between her silvery-white, medium-length hair.

"Sorry, I tackled you on my own out of defensive instinct. What's your name? Which tribe are you from? We're going hunting tomorrow, I'll take you back to your tribe."

Xia Gu hurriedly tore off the animal skin. Her body seemed to be fully cooked, and her fair and clear face turned as red as if she had eaten chili peppers.

"You...you're just sleeping right next to me like this?!"

"what happened?"

Seeing the other person's bewildered expression, she understood that there didn't seem to be many rules among orcs.

"I don't like people looking at my body."

“Oh, okay…” He immediately turned around, pulled out a pile of animal hides from the depths of the beast cave, and piled them between the two of them in one go. “You can use the animal hides here as you like. I’m sleeping next to you because I’m afraid you’ll be cold.”

"Thank you, I understand. My name is Xia Gu. Actually... I might have some memory loss, and there are some things I don't remember very clearly—by the way, what's your name? Where is this place?"

"My name is Xue Lan, and this is the High Mountain Tribe. Most of the beastmen in the tribe are from the Snow Wolf clan. If you really can't remember, you can join the tribe. I will tell the chief later."

"Thank you, it seems I have no choice but to stay here—by the way, have you ever seen a grayish-blue, glowing crystal?"

Xue Lan pondered for a moment, "I've never seen one before. Perhaps they exist on the plains outside the mountain tribes."

Xia Gu nodded, lowered her eyes, and revealed a hint of sadness.

She clutched the animal hide tightly, picked out the softer and cleaner pieces to wrap around her body, which finally provided some warmth and protection.

Xue Lan didn't peek; she transformed into a leopard and leaped out of the beast's den.

He didn't transform back into human form until after running for a while.

The mountain wind felt like knives on my face, but the unnatural blush on my cheeks lingered.

Xuelan thought to herself sullenly.

This little female is so strange... she looks so frail. Will something bad happen if I leave her alone in the den?

He needs to get back quickly.

If only I could become her beast husband and protect her.

……

After sending Xue Lan away, Xia Gu went through all the information provided by the system.

Finally, I have some understanding of the world.

This is the world of beastmen. There are no humans, only beastmen and ordinary beasts. Male beastmen have a second form, but female beastmen only have a human form.

Male orcs are ranked into four classes: Iron, Bronze, Silver, Gold, and the legendary Holy Orc.

Orcs have unique markings on their bodies, and their level can be determined by the color of the markings.

Xue Lan has a silver freesia mark on her body, so she should be a Silver Orc.

Male orcs are strong and powerful, responsible for fighting and hunting, while female orcs are not only rare but also physically weak, with almost no offensive capabilities, and can only stay in the tribe to bear children...

The way this world is constructed is truly full of malice.

Thinking of the automatically bound childbirth system, Xia Gu felt a cold sweat break out on her back.

So, Xue Lan might have saved her simply because of her rare ability to have children...

Is she going to stay in this world and be used as a breeding tool by those orcs?

Absolutely not.

She is a fungus, a mushroom that cannot reproduce!
