Chapter 1: Global beastification, I actually turned into a turtle!

“Lin Xuan, you actually dare to sleep during work!”

The voice in his ear made Lin Xuan open his eyes. After seeing who it was, he blurted out, “How did you become a human?”

“You must have slept too much.”

Facing the company manager’s dumbfounded look, he finally reacted. He looked around at the familiar yet strange environment. Not only the people around him, but even he himself was in human form.

“What? What year is it now?”

2022.

Lin Xuan gasped. He had traveled back in time! And it was to the time one year before the global beastification.

According to the memories of his previous life, there would be a meteor shower a year later. Those who were hit by the meteorites would gradually transform into animals. The speed of transformation would also be different according to their physique.

However, no matter what, everyone would eventually become a beast. This was the global beast transformation!

What would happen when all humans degenerate into wild beasts?

All social order collapsed, and ethics were no longer in place. The strong were respected, and for the sake of survival resources, large-scale battles began. However, Lin Xuan did not like this kind of life.

“Don’t play dumb with me. With your work attitude, do you even want to continue working? You don’t usually do your work well, and you’re the most active when it comes to sneaky things…”

Facing the black-hearted supervisor’s gaze, Lin Xuan took a deep breath and threw his work pass at the shameless supervisor’s face.

“Are you done? If I don’t want to do it, then I won’t. I only earn a few thousand Yuan every month, and you make me keep working overtime yet continue to deduct my salary. Do you really think I would care about it? Today, I officially declare that I quit.”

The strength of the throw was so great that the manager’s face instantly had a few red marks. Lin Xuan’s words were like a barrage of bullets, blasting him to the point where he had no strength to resist.

The black-hearted supervisor was stunned. Lin Xuan felt extremely good after saying all that he had been keeping in his heart. Everyone in the office looked at him with respect and admiration.

Who would have thought that Lin Xuan, who had always been good-tempered and quiet to the point of being invisible, would suddenly explode?

There was a good saying: If you don’t explode in silence, you will die in silence.

Lin Xuan didn’t care about the supervisor’s angry curses behind him and strode out of the company. In his previous life, he had transformed into a herbivore and did not have sharp claws or teeth. Survival was difficult for him, and he was at the bottom of the food chain. He faced hardshipsevery day-he was either running for his life or on the road to escape.

Everything in the past was now like clouds and smoke. In this life, he would not be like in his previous life.

Due to his regression[a], he knew there had already been sporadic fallen meteorites before the meteor shower. In fact, a small number of people had already begun to mutate, and one of those meteorites had landed in the coastal forest by the North Sea.

This was also something he had heard later. It was said that someone had turned into a black turtle because of this meteorite. The type of beast transformation was determined by many conditions, and the meteorite one encountered was the biggest factor.

Turtle-type creatures did not sound like they had any attack power and were not very destructive. The only thing they were good at was their defense and lifespan. This was what Lin Xuan wanted, and that meteorite was his target.

After some simple packing, he came to Beihai. He had been abandoned since he was young and grew up in an orphanage. He had few relatives around him. After he grew up, he had no friends because he was busy struggling in society.

Coastal forest.

This place was full of trees, and ancient giant trees intertwined with each other. It seemed as if he had come to a primitive world with few people. It was midsummer, and the sun was high in the sky, so there were even fewer people here.

The chirping of cicadas could be heard without end. As he stepped into the forest, the cool air hit his face, completely different from the heat waves outside.

The forest was simply too vast. Lin Xuan searched through his memories and remembered that the meteorite was not far from the center, with many ancient vines and a cave at the side. It was a very well-hidden location.

His hard work paid off. Looking at the snake-like vines in front of him, his eyes lit up. As expected, a huge black meteorite was lying there quietly.

He tried to put his hand on it. As he was suddenly hit by a meteorite in his previous life, he had already completed the beast transformation when he woke up, so he did not know how to deal with this fallen meteorite.

Just as he was letting his imagination run wild, a powerful electric current seemed to pass through his body, and the meteorite burst out with a huge light. His vision went black and he lost consciousness.

When he woke up, the sun had already set. The afterglow of the setting sun coated the entire forest with a layer of soft golden light. The surrounding trees in his vision became even taller and unattainable, as if they were hanging from the clouds.

The meteorite that was in front of him had disappeared, and his perspective had also changed dramatically. It was as if he had accidentally entered the Kingdom of Giants.

“I’ve succeeded!”

Sensing the changes in his body, Lin Xuan was overjoyed. As for why he was in such a hurry, there was still some time before the global beastification.

In addition to worrying that someone would mistakenly enter the area first and use up the meteorite, he also needed to get used to his current form. After all, his beast form in his previous life was not a turtle.

[Ding!]

[Congratulations to the host for successfully activating the Beastification System.]

[Would you like to activate it now?]

The system notification in his mind stunned Lin Xuan and made him excited. Since he could be reborn to the past, it wasn’t strange to have a system.

Could it be God’s compensation for him in his previous life? The golden finger had also been arranged quickly.

“Activate!”

[Please choose three innate skills to learn.]

A translucent panel appeared in front of him. It was a little like the online games he had played before, with all kinds of talent skill trees.

Lin Xuan observed for a long time and chose these three after some consideration.

[Turtle Breath: Reduce food and water intake to a large extent. Increase experience points during breathing, increases with defense.]

[ Tortoise Shell: Nullifies a portion of damage and reflects a portion of the damage, increases with defense ]

[Devouring Evolution: devouring other species to increase your own strength.]

[a]I replaced the reborn and reincarnation terms since he traveled back in time.
