Chapter 221
[If the bottom is just an empty cover, it's destined to collapse after enough blocks are stacked on top of it.]
XunMi understood. "What you mean is that the female lead's actions were technically all allowed. She just accomplished them too quickly? She didn't have stable foundations so the base wasn't able to stay up when they expanded later on?"
BaoBao nodded his head. [That's right, that's right. The female lead was moving too quickly. Based on the world's timeline, the idea to raise livestock came a few decades later. But the female lead came up with ideas of houses and livestock within a year. She severely hurt the path of that world's progression so it sped up the world's destruction. After the female lead died, the beast people didn't know how to think divergently. They only knew how to live dependent on the knowledge and material that the female lead left behind, causing them to close their minds to other thoughts. Besides slowly dying out, there was no other possibility. The world's consciousness couldn't prevent the female lead's arrival so it could only request that we go help solve this problem. It hopes that the beast era can continue on and slowly become a civilization.]
XunMi rubbed her chin. She understood the problem, but this situation was easier said than done. She felt that her first action would also have been to change her environment. As a person from modern times, they were just not used to wilderness life.
Ai, this was a big challenge. But moreover, she was a germaphobe! Sigh, she should focus on how to stabilize the time axis here first.
"That's right. BaoBao, am I am bug too then? I don't think there are doctors in this world. If I practice medicine, wouldn't that quicken the speed of progression again?" XunMi looked down at the two books in her hand. One was an encyclopedia on how to identify all sorts of plants and animals while another was an advanced medical practice book.
BaoBao shook his head and climbed into XunMi's lap. [Not at all, Madam Host. You are lawful. You learning medicine and then transferring that knowledge to the beast people won't happen in a day. That's not the same as building a house or catching an animal to raise. Moreover, the world consciousness did want you to redeem the beast people.]
Because the beast era had suffered from large losses of energy due to fluctuation, it no longer had the ability to protect their survival.
XunMi couldn't hold back the urge to roll her eyes.
"Alright, I understand. Add five points to luckiness and add five points to physical strength. Since this is a primitive time and the dangers are high, with so many beasts everywhere, I need to at least increase my physical strength. BaoBao, can you ask the world consciousness if there is an limits on my spiritual energy."
If they took even that away from her, XunMi felt that she might as well just lay down and play dead for this world.
BaoBao quickly got a response. [Madam Host! The world consciousness said that you aren't being restricted. It hopes that Madam Host will help protect this world for it.]
XunMi nodded her head in acceptance.
She opened the control panel. Her personal information had already been updated.

XunMi felt that the luck aspect was really useless. It was completely just for show.
After preparing herself, she began studying the medical book in front of her. Her studying continued for another half month. XunMi finally memorized the majority of the book's content. Her next step was buying a few experimental products. "BaoBao, let's go. Can you have the world consciousness drop me off in that forest at the center?
That was allegedly the most feared place by beast people. The wild beasts there were numerous and strong, with some even being venomous.
But XunMi needed this exact kind of place to host experiments. It was best that the beast people didn't dare come near that place. It was best that no one discovered her.
When she had done enough experiments, she'll go take a look around than YanYan tribe.
"┗ ｀O′ ┛Ow! Why is it so painful this time around? BaoBao, come out! I promise I'll slap you." XunMi held her head as her face twisted in pain.
[Madam Host, quickly drink this.] BaoBao pulled out a high leveled nutrient liquid from the inventory.
XunMi resisted the throbbing pain in her head and quickly gulped down the nutrient drink. Slowly, she began to recover.
"What happened?" Cold sweat had already dampened the clothes she was wearing. Leaning onto the tree, XunMi didn't even want to move a muscle anymore.
[Madam Host, this was my fault. I forgot to tell you that there was no host body this time. You'll be using a copy of your own body to enter this dimension. Therefore, it'll be like using an exact copy of yourself. Since you aren't indigenous to this world, you will have to adapt to this world's survival conditions first. But everything should be fine now. The world consciousness should help you improve your body.] Baobao quickly opened the map in his paws, switching the topic to explain XunMi's current destination.
Luckily, the world consciousness was more reliable than BaoBao. They had landed right in the depths of the deep forest.
When the exhaustion in her body faded, XunMi finally felt revived. "Let's go. Let's find somewhere to stay first." XunMi picked up BaoBao and stood up. Looking around at this unfamiliar sky and land, her mouth dropped with shock.
She had originally thought that there was nothing different with the beast era besides the transforming people. But have you ever seen a rabbit the size of Alaska? Have you seen a b.u.t.terfly the size of an eagle?
OMG, where exactly has she landed in? Why did she feel like she just got scammed by the world consciousness?
She numbly searched for a relatively clean cave. With a wave of her hand, the inside immediately lit up. After XunMi finished decorating her new cave and cleaning the surrounding area, the sun was already going down. XunMi was forced to go searching for a water source. It was an unbearably hot summer here. If not for the fact that she was able to adjust her inner body temperature, she would have long melted in this era without fans, air conditioning, and refrigerators.
[Madam Host, there is a water source up ahead. The world consciousness helped arrange that for you! It knew that you would be staying here for awhile so it lured all the violent wild beasts nearby away. But to do this, it lost it's last remaining amount of energy so it has to go into hibernation now.] BaoBao's voice whimpered. He really liked this world consciousness.
XunMi heard the disappointment in BaoBao's voice and patted his fur in sympathy.
