Regarding how to legally restrain various legendary creatures, for example, if an immortal kills someone, how should they be punished? If a worm-person kills someone, splits into thousands of worms, and then reassembles with other worm-people to become a new individual, how should they be recognized as the perpetrator?
P.S. Due to the only negative review being about the presence of female characters, I plan to convey the book's tone with one sentence: "A brain filled with beautiful love can also be shattered into a mess of organs by a bullet propelled by gunpowder."
In the Monster Forest, in a goblin tribe resembling a garbage dump, hundreds of ugly goblins, each half the height of an ordinary person, gather in a circle, greedily eyeing a wild boar they just caught, drooling.
Hunger drives them to want to pounce and tear it apart, but the tall figure of the tribe's leader next to the boar holds them back. The leader goblin is nearly as tall as an ordinary person, making him a giant among the shorter goblins. He is not only tall but also extremely fat, his round belly filled with fat, definitely a case of multiple health issues.
"Burp!" The leader goblin leans down and starts tearing into the boar, and once it's half-eaten, he lets out a contented burp and wobbles back to the only building in the goblin tribe, a thatched hut. He lies down, and the sound of his snoring fills the air, resembling the horn of a cafeteria. Without the leader's dominance, the goblins...
Without hesitation, he charged forward and savagely tore into the half-wild boar. In no time, the half-wild boar was gone, leaving only a skeleton behind. The well-fed goblins scattered and found a place to lie down and sleep, with a carefree attitude of taking things as they come.
When all the goblins were asleep, the goblin cubs emerged from various corners, greedily licking the pig blood mixed with mud.
"Damn it, I have to find another way out!" thought one of the goblin cubs, looking at his brother lying on the ground and gnawing at the dirt.
This goblin cub was named Li Qinwu, a human from Earth. A week ago, he had been playing Mount & Blade: Warband all night and died suddenly just before he was about to unite the continent. He was then transported to another world and became a goblin, a fantasy creature.
When Li Qinwu found out that he had become a goblin, he was in denial. Especially when he discovered that the adult goblins casually abandoned him, a cub, in the roadside weeds like throwing away garbage, he became even more desperate.
In this unknown primeval forest, not only was he just a goblin cub, but even as an adult, he wasn't sure if he could survive.
Just as Li Qinwu was about to give up and start over, the game that had caused his sudden death, Mount & Blade: Warband, transformed into a system and came to this other world. It initially gave him three attribute points.
Li Qinwu sat up in a daze and immediately added all three attribute points to his Vitality attribute.
The Vitality attribute in Mount & Blade: Warband 2 could increase the power of his one-handed swords, two-handed swords, and pole weapons. It also had the literal meaning of increasing his "vitality", which helped him survive the most difficult cub stage.
For a long time after that, Li All of them were lying in the weeds, trying to survive. He ate grass like crazy to stay alive and managed to survive by doing so. At the same time, he observed carefully and found that the adult goblins in the tribe could catch prey from time to time, but no one ever gave him, the pitiful little goblin cub, a bite to eat. Moreover, there were no female goblins in the goblin tribe. Li Qinwu was curious. Where did he come from if there were no female goblins? Then he saw that the adult goblins who returned from hunting had captured female animals, which greatly shocked his young heart. What shocked him even more was that one day, the hunting goblin team didn't catch any prey and started to eat each other! The defenseless goblin cub was the first to be eaten! This made Li Qinwu realize that goblins were a group of monsters without any sense of family, and it strengthened his determination to rely only on himself. It was already the 14th day since Li Qinwu arrived in the strange world. During these 14 days, he survived by eating the weeds by the roadside. He found that the growth cycle of goblins was extremely short. In just 14 days, he was almost an adult goblin, at least he had the ability to stand and walk. Li Qinwu looked at the wild boar skeleton and thought. He lowered his head and searched on the ground for something. Soon, he picked up a stone. Li Qinwu walked to the skeleton and started hitting the wild boar's teeth with the stone. Then he got four wild boar tusks. "If I polish them with a stone, these four tusks should be able to make four daggers. If I can find a suitable branch, I should be able to make a long spear!" Chirp chirp! While he was thinking, his stomach growled,A deafening roar, followed by an intense feeling of hunger.
"Oh my god! I'm so hungry!"
Li Qinwu covered his stomach with his hands, looking extremely painful. Goblin creatures grow quickly, but they also consume a lot of food. Especially since they can only eat grass, the feeling of hunger comes even faster.
"We need to go and eat grass quickly. After that, we'll make weapons and then go outside to see if we can hunt!"
Despite being very hungry, Li Qinwu forced himself to think quickly and quickly arranged an action plan before heading out to look for grass to eat.
Before leaving, he glanced at the wild boar skeleton again. It had been eaten clean, not a single piece of meat remained. But when his eyes fell on the intact leg bone, his vision was suddenly brightened.
Bone marrow! There's bone marrow in it!
Li Qinwu picked up a stone and struck the pig leg bone with it. After a while, the joint part of the pig leg bone was smashed, and the bone fell off. He dragged the pig leg bone and ran into the forest.
What Li Qinwu did didn't concern the adult goblins. These creatures sleep after eating and they wouldn't pay any attention to the bones that they can't eat. But the few goblin cubs that couldn't sleep due to hunger kept watching Li Qinwu.
The desire for food made them learn to be cunning. They didn't dare to be cunning on the adult goblins, but they would direct their greedy gaze at Li Qinwu, who was also a goblin cub.
The few goblin cubs looked at each other and followed Li Qinwu's steps into the forest.
Li Qinwu didn't know that he had a tail behind him. Right now, he just wanted to get away from the goblin tribe and find a place to light a fire and roast the pig leg bone.
The goblin tribe eats raw food, and there's nothing like this.Humans can make fire. Li Qinwu was afraid that if he made fire, it would cause hostility from the adult goblins and they would know that there was marrow in the bones that he could eat, and he wouldn't get any of it.
Of course, the most important reason was that the pig leg bones were too hard and he couldn't break them. Even when he removed them from the skeleton, he always hit them against the joints. It was very tiring. To eat the marrow, he could only use fire to make the bones crispy and then break them.
Li Qinwu ran and stopped to chew the grass by the roadside to maintain his energy. When he was about to lose strength due to low blood sugar, he reached a small valley. And now the wind was blowing from the direction of the tribe. He could start a fire here to reduce the chance of being discovered.
Li Qinwu lay down on the ground to rest for a while. Lack of food and intense exercise made him feel dizzy. He quickly ate several mouthfuls of grass like a worm, and then he recovered.
"Soon we'll be able to eat charcoal-grilled spinal cord. Hold on, Li Qinwu!"
Looking at the pig leg bones that he had finally brought out of the goblin tribe, he swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
He struggled to stand up from the ground and collected dry branches and leaves to build a fire. Then he found a stick and a wooden board, and tore some dry fibers from the bark.
He made a small bow using the hemp rope he stole from the goblin tribe. He wanted to use the bow to drill for fire!
This was a very simple system for making fire by drilling wood. He learned it from Big Man. After completing this system, a prompt suddenly appeared in his mind.
Forging proficiency +1.
"Ah? Increase forging proficiency?"
He opened the skill panel of the 2nd skill of Horseback and Swordsmanship with his consciousness. He saw that the proficiency of the forging skill changed from 0 to 1.
"Can making such a small thing increase forging proficiency?"Li Qinwu's heart suddenly heated up. Since it could be forged, then the unique gameplay of riding and slashing could also recruit soldiers!
In the game "Riding and Slashing", players can recruit soldiers in villages, towns, etc. If they could figure out how to recruit soldiers in reality, then Li Qinwu would also have the means to stand firm in this world!
"Ha ha ha! I swear! From today on! I will definitely not eat grass and chili! I want to have dry meat every meal!"
Li Qinwu shouted loudly, putting the fire-starting material from drilling wood into the firewood pile. The firewood pile was soon ignited. Li Qinwu immediately placed the wild boar leg bone on the fire and in a short while, the wild boar's leg bone was smoking and sizzling, a slightly pungent burnt smell spread.
Li Qinwu crazily licked his lips. Since he was born by an unknown female creature, the only food he had eaten was wild grass. The aroma of the protein being burnt to a crisp made his stomach start to convulse violently again. The instinctive craving almost drove him crazy!
But his soul was still human. He forcibly suppressed his desire to eat. It would take a while for the pig's thigh to be roasted until it was crispy enough to be lifted open. He took out 4 wild boar teeth and planned to slightly process them.
Li Qinwu found a stone to use for polishing the 4 teeth. He quickly completed this task. The main teeth were not anything hard and couldn't be ground too sharp. He was also afraid of over-grinding and breaking them.
Then he found a handy stick on the ground and used his teeth to slightly pry open a gap in the middle of the stick's head. He placed the teeth in the middle of the stick, tied it tightly with a rope, and a long spear that seemed ready to break was completed.
At that moment, the system notification sound rang in his mind.You forged a broken spear, forging proficiency +1
Li Qinwu carefully examined the spear and felt that it was better than nothing. The main problem was that this forging proficiency was growing too slowly. The first skill point required 25 proficiency points to be unlocked. How long would it take to grind it out until the Year of the Monkey and the Year of the Horse?
He picked up the spear and walked to the fire pit. At this moment, the wild pig's leg bone was almost done.
He took the leg bone off the fire pit, held one end high up, and focused his energy in the center of his body, smashing it hard against the stone.
With a crack, the leg bone broke at the middle part that had been most burned by the fire, and some bone marrow spilled out.
Li Qinwu's eyes instantly turned red. He rushed forward and smashed the leg bone directly, the fat and various nutrients rushed into his stomach, making him so happy that he almost rolled his eyes!
"Ah! I'm a carnivore!"
Li Qinwu shouted excitedly, the pain of eating grass for half a month was cured by the animal fat at this moment!
He quickly cleaned one leg bone, and was about to go and take the other one when suddenly, his ears heard the sound of a branch being stepped on. He looked up and towards the source of the sound, and saw 8 half-brother Brin approaching him. Their green eyes shone with hungry light, and they fixedly stared at the pig bone in Li Qinwu's hand.
