I transmigrated into a beast world, hated by everyone, and was eaten by a shameless snake.

Xie Yungui was speechless. This setting was really too much, and he had actually fallen into such a situation. Perhaps this was the punishment for the blood he had stained his hands with in his previous life!

He recalled the words spoken by the group of men and women earlier, which were in a murmuring manner. This was not the language of any country on Earth, but he could understand it. This meant that after he transmigrated here, he could even understand the language of this beast world.

He recalled his shouts in the cave, which seemed to be not Mandarin, but the language of this world. Could this be considered a form of compensation?

Being able to speak and understand the language of this world makes things much easier.

Just then, a mechanical voice, like Google, echoed in Xie Yungui's mind: "Congratulations, Master, the system has been activated..." The word "system" was not pronounced for a long time.

"Why are you so slow and hesitant? Can't you be a little faster? If the system was like you, the host would have died eight hundred times over. Can you even finish a sentence? If not, get out." After venting, I felt a little better.

Xie Yungui was truly angry as he listened to those words, each one deliberate and succinct.

He was already starving, and this system was so unhelpful. Xie Yungui was truly grateful to the transmigration god.

Why was Xie Yungui able to accept the existence of the system so quickly?

It's because he spends his free time at home reading all sorts of time-travel novels when he's not on missions. So he knows all about cheat codes, systems, spatial abilities, spiritual springs, superpowers, and the whole trope.

Fortunately, the god of time travel was kind to him and prepared time travel equipment for him, but this system seemed a little unintelligent.

"Congratulations, host. Based on your exceptionally sharp mind and photographic memory, you have been assigned the Baidu All-Knowing System..."

"Wait, Baidu Encyclopedia? Do I need that thing? The reason I became the Mercenary King is because I have a good brain and I can remember everything I see. So, I don't want this system." Xie Yungui didn't expect the system to be so useless.

"No, we can't change it!" The system was stunned. Was there ever a host who would refuse a system?

"I don't care. If I can't change it, I won't bind it anymore, because I don't need such a useless system."

"Then, how about I give you a skill as compensation?" the system asked timidly.

"Hmm? What skill?" Xie Yungui became slightly interested.

"I don't know, it might be random!"

"No, I want two, otherwise there's no room for discussion. Let me see. If it doesn't work out, I'd rather not have you. Anyway, it doesn't matter to me whether you're here or not. I've already had such a disastrous start, I might as well die. If I die, I might be able to travel to another dynasty, so I won't be sexually assaulted as soon as I travel to another dynasty." If it really is such a system, Xie Yungui really doesn't need it. That's what he thinks.

"Ding dong, new skill successfully bound!" The system quickly gave the skill to Xie Yungui without even thinking.

Because of its stuttering, this system has been unable to find a host. The main system said that if it fails this time, it will be destroyed.

"Congratulations, host, you have acquired the Healing Spell and the Invincible Strength Spell," the system said happily.

"...Healing spells are like a healer, so they're useful. But what about the Invincible Strength spell?" Xie Yungui thought the name was a bit too simplistic and crude.

"It means the host has immense power, enough to fight..." the system whispered.

"Why can't it be a skill that allows you to fly or teleport? Can't it be changed? Why is it so useless?"

"It can't be changed!"

"Oh, and what about you?"

"I've always been here, host. I can provide you with all sorts of information." Instead of answering the question, the system quickly stated its usefulness.

"Do you have any missions to issue?" Xie Yungui had done and accepted missions in his past life, but he didn't want to do that again in this life.

"No need, host. Just call my name in your mind whenever you need me! I'll give you the answer you need!"

"Got it!" Other people's systems do whatever they say, but Xie Yungui's cheat system was something he negotiated for.

At night, the tribe was filled with singing and dancing. Although the singing was really awful, it was easy to see that the orcs were very happy.

They shared the wild fruits and their prey, but Xie Yungui had nothing. No one would remember him, and no one would care whether he was dead or alive.

But he doesn't care now.

Early the next morning, Xie Yungui regained some strength and ran out of the tribe to find food in the forest.

Xie Yungui has an excellent memory, able to remember everything he sees, which is why his mercenary career is so colorful.

Xie Yungui saw the jicama plant. Although it was a huge one, he wouldn't mistake it for a jicama.

He dug away the soil and saw the plump jicama. He excitedly picked one up, wiped it casually, peeled it, and stuffed it into his mouth.

He was so hungry. The first reason the original owner of this body died was because of hunger.

Secondly, due to long-term food shortages, their physical condition was extremely poor.

Third, he fell and hit his head, getting a cut. Then he encountered such a big idiot, and in his fright, the original owner was gone.

Oh, what a pitiful little thing! But he can't sympathize with others right now, because he himself is that pitiful little thing.

Xie Yungui ate a large piece of jicama in one go, and finally felt full.

The sugar replenishment gave the body a little strength.

Xie Yungui looked at the distant tribe, at the people laughing and joking, and a cruel smile appeared on his face.

Xie Yungui searched his memory, but his tribe did not have a source of fire.

There has never been a source of fire. The beastmen consider fire to be divine punishment, an ominous presence, and an evil thing that can burn everything to death.

However, for Xie Yungui, fire is the best thing, especially now.

Xie Yungui looked at the haystacks in the tribe, and evil thoughts began to arise in his heart.

People in the tribe keep a lot of haystacks because they use them as mattresses to sleep on or to cover themselves with for warmth during the snowy season.

Xie Yungui quietly avoided the tribesmen and then made a bow and arrow.

He's a mercenary, so he can make simple bows and arrows like this. He can even manufacture the Zhuge Repeating Crossbow and disassemble and assemble more advanced weapons, let alone bows and arrows like this.

Xie Yungui spent half a day making a bamboo bow and arrows with a relatively short range.

Then they tied small bundles of grass to the bamboo arrows, and placed dozens of arrows in a concealed position on the tree, waiting for the right moment.
