Simulating the primordial era? That's way too extreme.

Chapter 5 Demonic Articles

"Boss, a large bowl of beef noodles, with extra cilantro!"

Entering a street noodle shop, Zhao Si, who had just escaped the shackles of the eerie game, was in a great mood. After ordering, she sat down and waited for her food.

While waiting for her food, Zhao Si casually opened a short video to pass the time:

[Odyssey pulls bananas...]

Repairing cow hooves...

[A righteous man defying the heavens...]

[Debunking the Falsehoods of Western History...]

Well, the amazing netizens didn't disappoint Zhao Si. He had been feeling a bit depressed after being locked up for so long, but as he scrolled through the web, his mood inexplicably relaxed...

"Huh? Where's my beef noodles?"

After waiting for a full twenty minutes, Zhao Si, still not satisfied, finally realized something was wrong: were her noodles still not cooked?

The noodle shop was doing brisk business, and looking at the crowd of customers inside, Zhao Si felt displeased.

Did the owner not hear me take my order? Or were they just too busy and forgot?

With patience, Zhao Si walked up to the dining table and greeted the female owner who was keeping the accounts:

"Boss, where's my beef noodles?"

The female boss looked up, seemingly puzzled, at Zhao Si's Eastern face, and hesitated before saying:

"Cut off Usby's Li Si?"

"what?"

Zhao Si was taken aback. Was I not speaking Chinese?

No... wait!

A thought flashed through Zhao Si's mind, and she suddenly realized that from the moment she entered the store, she hadn't actually spoken Chinese, but rather...

"Yawen?!"

Realizing his slip of the tongue, Zhao Si didn't care about eating anymore. Amidst the bewildered and confused expression of the female owner, he turned and left the noodle shop, startling her into thinking she had accidentally offended a foreign customer...

Something's not right!

After leaving the noodle shop, Zhao Si stood puzzled on the street, watching the passing vehicles and pedestrians. He suddenly muttered to himself:

Study hard and make progress every day.

Almost automatically, he uttered a string of familiar yet unfamiliar syllables, seemingly containing some ancient wisdom...

This is absolutely not Chinese; it's demonic script!

"This is?"

Zhao Si frowned, recalling everything that had happened before, especially when she obtained the Demon Master's inheritance text after binding the "award certificate".

Could it be that... I've forgotten how to speak Chinese?!

Anxious, Zhao Si tried several more times, and only after testing did she breathe a sigh of relief again.

Although I don't know what's wrong with the inheritance of the demon script, it has caused my first mother tongue to have been unconsciously switched to the demon script. Without conscious effort, what I speak is always the demon script.

However, if I consciously switch, I can still speak Chinese. It's just that compared to the more familiar Yao language, my mother tongue, which has been with me for over twenty years, feels like a newly learned foreign language...

"When they suddenly send over an award certificate, I know it's no good!"

Zhao Si cursed inwardly. Perhaps the Demon Master Kunpeng had no ill intentions and was simply giving an ignorant junior a free lesson, but even a single lecture from a powerful figure of his caliber was enough to cause Zhao Si considerable trouble.

"Fortunately, this time it was just a change of mother tongue, so it won't attract too much attention. If they send me something else next time, who knows how much trouble it will cause."

After thinking about it, Zhao Si lost her appetite for noodles and shopping. Just as she was about to go back inside to wait for the update, she suddenly heard a sound:

Meow?

Looking down, he saw a fat orange cat lying at his feet, its chubby face seemingly very curious about him.

"A stray cat?"

Zhao Si glanced at it but didn't pay much attention. Stray cats like this are everywhere, and their usual trick is to act cute when they meet passersby. But don't misunderstand, it probably doesn't want you to take it in, but just wants to mooch some food.

But an inexplicable feeling stirred Zhao Si's heart, and she opened her mouth, uttering a string of unfamiliar syllables:

Study hard and make progress every day!

Meow!

The fat cat seemed to understand, its two big eyes staring at him curiously.

"Lie down."

The fat cat tilted its head and actually lay down.

"Stand up."

It had just lain down when it stood up again.

Zhao Si took a deep breath; the facts confirmed her suspicions…

"Now that you've heard what I said, you must not be allowed to live!"

Zhao Si said viciously, then picked up the fat cat from the ground:

"Starting today, you'll be living with me!"

Perfect, I need a test subject to see what other tricks this demonic script holds, Fat Cat! I need your help with my cultivation!

Meow?

……

Considering that there might be some strange changes in herself, and to avoid attracting attention, Zhao Si did not linger outside. She only bought a box of instant noodles and then returned to her rented room with the fat cat she had picked up.

Meow!

Arriving in an unfamiliar environment, the fat cat looked around, seemingly assessing the wealth of its new home.

Yeah, so poor they don't even have mice, that's perfect...

"Are you a monster?"

After setting out the instant noodles, Zhao Si also took a look at the orange pig she had encountered by chance:

It is plump but covered in dirt, a typical urban stray cat.

But if it can understand the demonic script it speaks, does that prove that it is actually a cat demon lurking among humans?

Meow.

The fat cat stared blankly at Zhao Si, its intelligence insufficient to comprehend the word "monster".

Zhao Si felt that it shouldn't be an act.

"So the reason you can understand the demon script isn't because you're special, but because of the characteristics of the demon script itself?"

Zhao Si seemed to be deep in thought. As the universal language and script created by the ancient demon masters for all demons, it was not difficult to understand if it contained the power to communicate with different animals.

The problem is, why can the demonic script in the prehistoric game still be used in reality?

"Isn't the Primordial Era just a hodgepodge of mythological stories that Shenji messed up back then?"

Zhao Si was very puzzled. The prehistoric setting itself was just a novelist's creation, and its creative process was clearly explained in online novels. It had no basis in reality.

There are no gods or monsters in reality, nor is there a savior. Everything about the primordial world is just a fabrication by novelists.

Reality has absolutely nothing to do with the primordial world!

But now...

"Is the game forcibly incorporating real-world settings?"

Suddenly realizing this possibility, Zhao Si's vigilance towards the game immediately spiked.

If that's really the case, then as one receives more and more "gifts" in the game, wouldn't one end up reenacting the primordial chaos in real life?

Right now, only the demonic texts are having an impact, with negligible effect on reality. But what about later?

"Spiritual energy, immortal magic, demons... If these things really appeared in reality, then..."

Zhao Si shuddered, not daring to think about it too much. In short, it was definitely not a good thing. The materialistic real world could not tolerate the existence of idealism, unless one stopped being a materialist.

For a fleeting moment, Zhao Si really wanted to smash her phone and quit this lousy game!

But then he dared not think about it anymore, after all, it had already proven its supernatural power, and under its control, all his actions were pointless.

If it is destined to invade reality, then this process cannot be interrupted. Acting rashly will not break the net, but the fish will certainly die...

"That's enough."

Zhao Si shook his head, no longer thinking about such distant threats. What was most important to him at the moment was simply to survive as long as possible.

Surviving until the game ends might allow me to make some impact on the world afterward...

Meow?

Patting the fat cat's round head, Zhao Si patiently continued to speak the demonic commands to it, ignoring its confusion:

"Somersault!"

"Lie down!"

"Go cook me four dishes and a soup."

Meow?

This owner looks like a fried dough stick...

Time passed slowly as the cat and its owner trained the cat to follow commands.

[Ding! Update complete!]

The cat was exhausted, and Zhao Si was completely lost in thought when her phone screen suddenly flickered, immediately drawing her attention.

[After you submitted your petition to the Heavenly Court, the Heavenly Emperor made no response. However, the Demon Master highly praised a certain young dragon from the East Sea for his concern for politics during the court assembly. This made your reputation resound throughout the prehistoric world, and you became the "other people's child" in the mouths of countless demon parents.]

[Subsequently, the Demon Master announced a new court resolution, stating that the previous edict ordering the massacre was indeed somewhat extreme, and after discussion within the inner court, several supplementary points were added.]

[To punish without teaching is cruelty. Therefore, the Heavenly Court has decided to issue a supplementary decree before the massacre order, allowing humans to enter schools run by the Heavenly Court to study alongside other demons. If they can correct their barbaric habits, the massacre order will be rescinded.]

[With the decree issued, all demons obeyed...]
