Chapter 1 Don't laugh, you can't pass level 2 either.
"Tell me, what is the meaning of life?"
Chu Sheng opened his eyes, sighed, and patted the fluffy head beside him.
The head peeked out from under the covers; it belonged to a girl with long, golden hair. The girl had fair skin, large, bright eyes, and most strangely, a pair of drooping dog ears on her forehead.
"Eat meat, dig holes, hide bones!" the girl responded excitedly, the blanket behind her bobbing up and down.
"Slow down, I can't take it anymore... Ella! Get off me!" Chu Sheng roared, yanking off the damp blanket. He saw something bobbing up and down between the girl's full, round buttocks, making slapping sounds from time to time.
Yes, it was her dog's tail.
Chu Sheng's calves ached from the swaying dog tail, and he grimaced as he kicked the girl off the bed: "Ella! How many times have I told you not to get on the bed! This bed isn't sturdy to begin with, don't you know how much you weigh?"
Ella's ears and tail drooped instantly, she pouted, and looked aggrieved: "Ella needs to go to the toilet..."
Chu Sheng stared at the sheets and blankets stained with a golden hue and fell silent.
"Ella...!!!"
In the early morning in Windmill Village, the villagers are awakened by the angry roars of newly arrived teenagers and the barking of dogs fleeing in disarray.
Chu Sheng, his face gloomy, hung the clean sheets and blankets to dry outside the cabin, while Ella was happily digging holes in the woods in the distance.
"Little Chu, you're so hardworking, working so early in the morning!" An older woman carrying a pile of clothes came over and greeted him with a smile.
"Aunt Ram, I'm so sorry to bother you, Ella wet the bed again." Chu Sheng sensed the hidden meaning in the aunt's words and scratched his head sheepishly. "Today I asked her to go find some wild game so that everyone in the village can have some meat."
As Aunt Ram hung the clothes to dry, she glanced at the distant woods, muttering to herself, "Little Chu, it's not that I'm criticizing you, but these demi-humans are nothing like us humans. They're brainless and disobedient. Even if you're going to buy a servant, don't buy a demi-human!"
Demi-humans, or more accurately, mythical creatures, are a race that has existed on the continent for a longer period than humans.
It has been more than a month since Chu Sheng transmigrated to this other world.
At first, he only watched a poorly made AIGG video, in which several cute female beast girls were winking at him off-screen, while saying in a low-quality synthesized voice, "Don't laugh, you wouldn't pass the second level either!"
Chu Sheng, who had completed tens of thousands of Galaga games, could not bear such humiliation and immediately clicked "GG" to start playing.
The first level consisted of ordinary dialogue options, and Chu Sheng quickly passed it thanks to his experience. The game then rewarded him with a B-grade mythical creature named "Ella," which, according to the description, was a dog girl.
Yay! It's Fu Rui!
So he couldn't wait to open the second level to try the salty taste, but before he could even take off his pants, he was transported to this strange world.
Along with him came the dog girl named Ella.
Chu Sheng smiled, his young face bright and kind: "Aunt Ram, it's not that I don't have any money. I'm new here, please forgive me."
Looking at the young man's youthful and handsome face, Aunt Lam blushed and playfully punched Chu Sheng's shoulder: "If you're short of money, just tell Auntie! Although our Windmill Village is remote, the villagers are all incredibly warm and hospitable. Come to Auntie's house for dinner tonight!"
After saying that, she pinched Chu Sheng's thin arm: "You're at the age where you're growing, you need to eat more good food!"
Chu Sheng smiled and watched Aunt Ram waddle away, and only after he was sure she was far away did he take out a parchment book from his pocket.
The parchment book has an antique feel, and several large characters are written on it in the mainland language.
Mythical Creatures Strategy Guide
Chu Sheng opened the title page, and in the center of the page was a line of text written in cursive script, which was the same GG message that had appeared on the screen.
"Don't laugh, you wouldn't be able to get past the second level either. Just conquer all the mythical creatures in this encyclopedia and you'll clear the game!"
He was already tired of the slightly sarcastic tone on that page, so he flipped directly to the first half of the illustrated guide.
"Rank B 003 [Dogman], Demi-human, collected, progress 100%"
"Strategy Reward: B-rank skill [Loyalty!], increases the initial strategy progress of all mythical creatures by 10%, and makes the mythical creatures you have already conquered permanently loyal to you."
As the pages continued to turn, many boxes with question marks could be vaguely seen, marked only with serial numbers such as "Class A 008", "Class S 002", "Class SS 004", etc.
"Sigh." Chu Sheng snapped the book shut. "The road ahead is long and arduous! So many... no, mythical creatures are waiting for me to save them. I'm sorry, Nagisa Furukawa, Kazusa Touma, Misuzu Kamio, Luna Sakurakoji, Arcueid Brunestud, Kanade Tachibana, Shiraha Naruse, Yoshino Asatake, Nene Ayaji, Amane Suo, Kokoro Honma, Eruru..."
"Chu Sheng, what are you muttering about?" The girl's indistinct voice interrupted his thoughts.
Chu Sheng looked down and saw Ella on all fours, a bone in her mouth, her tail spinning like a fan, staring at him longingly.
"How many times have I told you not to imitate the village dogs! Stand up!" Chu Sheng helplessly pulled the bone out of Ella's mouth. This was another skeleton she had dug out from some unknown corner. Judging from its large size, it was probably the leg bone of a magical beast.
Ella jumped to her feet, her impressively large breasts trembling violently.
She was actually two heads taller than Chu Sheng.
Chu Sheng sized up Ella's tall, voluptuous figure. Demi-humans generally possessed the bloodline of magical beasts, far surpassing humans in both size and strength. However, as a price, their reproductive capacity was not as strong as humans, which gradually led to humans replacing them as the dominant species on the continent.
However, advanced subhuman races such as vampires, dragons, elves, and giants still occupy an important place on the continent and have even formed powerful kingdoms.
"So, did you find any prey? Don't tell me you only dug out this bone." Chu Sheng weighed the monster's leg bone in his hand.
Wow, it's quite heavy.
Ella's eyes sparkled with excitement. "Found it! Found it! Deep in the forest, it's a relative of this leg bone! It's heading towards the village!"
"Oh, a relative." Chu Sheng's expression changed. "Hmm? A relative, to make up for lost time!"
He threw the bone far away as if it were a plague, grabbed Ella who was trying to retrieve it, and ran towards the windmill in the center of the village.
Windmill Village, as the name suggests, has a huge windmill in the village, used to grind wheat into flour.
However, as a major grain-producing area on the border of the empire, the windmills in Windmill Village are also guarded year-round by knights from the Imperial Knights Order.
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!" Chu Sheng shouted as he ran, his face pale. "The monsters are coming! Lady Knight, please save us!"
