In a dim forest!

"Get lost, you piece of trash only fit to eat dirt!"

A loud shout and a shove snapped Li Meng back to reality.

Looking at the group of ugly green creatures in front of him, Li Meng's pupils contracted.

They had slender bodies and green skin.

Not only were they ugly, but they also had big bellies.

Though they had limbs, their proportions were extremely unbalanced.

Their ears were pointy, and their faces looked like clowns.

Their teeth were unusually sharp, with an incredible bite force.

They could tear off a large chunk of meat from a wild boar in one bite.

They could even crunch through bones with ease!

"What is going on here?"

The creepy chewing sound made Li Meng's scalp tingle.

How did he end up in this creepy place after just going to the bathroom?

Li Meng looked down at his own hands.

What he saw gave him a shock.

They were also green and as skinny as a rake.

He... he had turned into a monster?

"What are these details?"

When he looked again at the ugly green-skinned creatures.

Li Meng finally noticed some information above their heads.

The digital information gave the impression of being in a game world.

[Name: Gobu Da]

[Race: Goblin]

[Level: 4]

[Strength: 7]

[Defense: 4]

[Agility: 6]

[Magic: 0]

[Charm: 0]

[Luck: 2]

"Could it be that I've crossed into another world?"

The thought in his mind gave Li Meng a fright.

He quickly forced himself to calm down.

Li Meng took a deep breath, and with a thought!

Sure enough, a mysterious presence responded to him.

A pale golden character panel appeared before him.

Li Meng reached out to touch it, but felt nothing.

The character panel existed only in his eyes.

[Race: Goblin]

[Level: 1]

[Strength: 4]

[Defense: 6]

[Current Character Level: 1, can spend 10 first-tier magic crystals for an extra life simulation]

[Life Simulation Attempts Monthly Limit: 2]

[Choose rewards based on score at the end of life simulation]

[Start Life Simulation?]

Beside the character panel, there was also a log panel.

"Life Simulation System? Is this my ability?"

Looking at the goblins devouring their food, Li Meng had a strange expression.

He felt a bit bewildered by his current situation.

Since he was here, he might as well make the best of it.

Li Meng didn't break down because he was in an unfamiliar environment.

His survival instinct quickly made him accept everything.

"Hold on a second!"

Now was not the time for life simulation.

The goblins in the forest were busy eating.

Although their ravenous eating was a bit disgusting.

Li Meng found himself almost drooling at the sight.

His body's instincts urged him to join in the feast.

But his human consciousness made him resist.

"Gobu Meng, here, intestines are delicious!"

Just then, footsteps approached.

A goblin came over holding a piece of foul-smelling intestine.

The intestine was bulging, with greenish contents inside.

The strong smell could be detected from afar.

His name was Gobu Da, a weak goblin.

"I'm... I'm not hungry!"

Li Meng backed away repeatedly, swallowing hard.

Although the smell was indeed as tempting as stinky tofu.

Li Meng still couldn't bring himself to accept it.

He turned and ran off.

Gobu Da looked puzzled at Gobu Meng running into the depths of the forest.

Wasn't Gobu Meng usually the one who loved intestines the most?

What was going on today?

Gobu Da didn't bother thinking about things he couldn't understand.

He tore off a big piece of intestine.

Chewing it along with the greenish contents inside, he swallowed it with satisfaction.

***

On the other side, Li Meng, who had run into the depths of the forest, sat down under a big tree.

After pondering for a while, Li Meng finally accepted the reality of crossing into another world.

"System, start life simulation!"

[Life Simulation Begins!]

[You wake up in the forest, realizing you are in another world]

[You return to the goblin nest with the hunting team]

[You meet the goblin leader "Gobu Ba", and are intimidated by its power]

[As a transmigrator, you have high ambitions and are eager to become stronger. You think devouring magical beast flesh to gain their skills is a good way to grow stronger, so you leave the goblin nest and head into the forest depths]

[You discover a lowland dragon, and its skills make you drool]

[Please make a choice]

[1. You charge out to fight the lowland dragon]

[2. You feel weak and plan to set a trap to kill the lowland dragon]

[3. You have a boss, seek Gobu Da's help]

Which option should he choose?

Under the tree, Li Meng fell into deep thought.

The first option was definitely out.

A lowland dragon with magical skills must be strong.

But with his current small frame, fighting alone was suicide.

The second option seemed like a plan, but it was actually a big pitfall.

Without handy tools, traps weren't easy to set.

And it needed bait to lure the lowland dragon into the trap.

That bait would most likely be him.

The risk was too great.

"Choose three!"

Among the three options, only the third had a chance of success.

[You choose to return to the nest to seek Gobu Da's help. Gobu Da punches you, telling you not to daydream. A first-tier earth-attribute magical beast like the lowland dragon requires the entire hunting team's strength to hunt. Just the two of you would be like throwing buns to a dog, never to return]

[As a proud transmigrator, you are unwilling to do nothing. You cleverly flatter Gobu Da, making the foolish goblin think it's strong. Gobu Da is convinced by you, and the two of you head into the forest depths]

[You engage in battle with the lowland dragon, and you fail, returning to the nest heavily injured]

[The failed hunt leaves you very depressed, and you and the boss lick your wounds in the nest]

[Due to severe injuries and inability to get food, your condition worsens]

[Gobu Da dies from severe injuries, and its body becomes a feast for other goblins]

[The bloody and foul-smelling you become a delicious piece of meat in the eyes of your kind]

[One night, a group of goblins pounce on you, and you die, ending a foolish and short life]

[Life Simulation Ends, Score: 20]

[Please choose one of the following rewards]

[1. Consume five score points to increase one level]

[2. Consume five score points to increase five attribute points]

[3. Consume five score points to increase one luck point, luck can increase key node options and end rewards in life simulation]

This death was too ridiculous!

"It seems the life simulation system predicts future lines, I can't choose recklessly!"

Li Meng thought to himself, showing a contemplative expression.

Although the death was rather ridiculous, it gave Li Meng a better understanding of the life simulation system.

He glanced sideways at the direction of the goblins.

"This future line can't be followed."

Life simulation is a prediction of future development directions.

His every move can change the future development direction.

If he follows the predicted future direction, the same thing will definitely happen.

Although the first life simulation failed.

It wasn't all for nothing.

At least Li Meng understood the ability of the life simulation system.

The rewards from predicting the future in the life simulation system are a way to become stronger.

But more importantly, it's the predicted future line.

Predicting the future is like trial and error.

It allows him to gain some future information in advance, avoiding danger.

The key choice in the predicted future must be made cautiously.

"Gobu Meng, are you sick?"

Just as Li Meng was contemplating how to choose a reward, Gobu Da came over.

Seeing Gobu Meng sitting under the tree, a hint of greed flashed in Gobu Da's eyes.

A sick goblin is just a piece of meat in the eyes of its kind.

Li Meng noticed the greed in Gobu Da's eyes, and his heart tightened.

Goblins truly lived up to their reputation as ugly and savage creatures.

Savage and greedy, they would eat anything that was meat.

Even their kind were just backup food.

"Consume all score points, add to strength attribute."

[Consume 20 score points, +20 strength attribute points]

Li Meng suddenly felt a warm current surge through his body.

His skinny body crackled and popped.

His previously skinny body swelled up significantly.

Feeling the strength surging through his body, Li Meng grinned menacingly.

He swung his fist at the approaching Gobu Da.

His fist landed squarely on Gobu Da's face.

"Ouch!"

Gobu Da let out a miserable cry, flying through the air.

It flew several meters before rolling to the ground.

"Gobu Da, from now on, I'm your boss!"

Li Meng grinned menacingly at Gobu Da, waving his fist.

Gobu Da, who was sprawled on the ground, looked bewildered.

When it saw Gobu Meng waving his fist, a hint of fear flashed in its eyes.

It quickly got up, nodding and retreating.

Goblins respected the strong, whoever was strong was the boss.
