Chapter 1 – One Stomp and It Splatters, You Call This the Beast King?

“Qin Yang, would you like to have dinner together after work?”

At the entrance of Jianghai Martial Arts Library, a girl with a pretty face invited Qin Yang.

“No, I have things to do at home.”

Qin Yang shook his head, directly rejecting the girl’s invitation, and turned to leave.

“This guy is so boring, what a waste of such a handsome face.”

Watching Qin Yang’s retreating figure, the girl stomped her foot in frustration, then rolled her eyes and left.

After work, Qin Yang walked along the road, looking up at the ten Black Hole-like holes that had appeared in the sky, his eyes filled with confusion.

He was a transmigrator from Earth who had died after eating seafood contaminated by nuclear wastewater and ended up crossing over to this parallel world that was extremely similar to Earth.

The civilization of this world was originally quite similar to Earth’s.

But a thousand years ago, ten holes suddenly appeared in the sky, and a mysterious power flowed into this world from them.

After absorbing this mysterious power, all living beings’ bodies would be enhanced, possessing extraordinary strength.

Humans named this power Star Power, and those who absorbed Star Power to become stronger were called Star Warriors.

The speed of absorbing Star Power was related to the Star Warrior’s innate talent.

And Qin Yang’s current body was that of a talentless waste, doomed to be part of the lowest working class in society.

Sigh!

Qin Yang sighed inwardly, never expecting that in his previous life he was a laborer, and after transmigrating, he was still destined to be a laborer.

The golden finger he brought along was completely useless.

That’s right.

Qin Yang did have a golden finger.

And it was a system.

However, after crossing over, System Bro only gave one reminder:

“Detected that this world is a Fantasy World with extremely high danger levels. Host, please avoid drawing attention and focus on survival.”

After that, the system directly disappeared.

No matter how Qin Yang called out, there was no response.

This left Qin Yang somewhat disheartened, and he obediently became a laborer.

Fortunately, his current job wasn’t bad—he was an administrator at Jianghai Library.

Jianghai Library was the largest library in all of Jianghai City, housing numerous Manuals left by martial arts predecessors for future generations to study.

As an administrator at Jianghai Library, Qin Yang now earned a monthly salary of three thousand, with meals and accommodation provided, and he could even enjoy air conditioning inside the library.

These conditions already satisfied Qin Yang quite a bit.

After all, in this dangerous Fantasy World, for someone with low talent like him, being able to live a stable life was already quite good.

For him.

Staying alive was the most important thing.

After a leisurely twenty-minute walk, Qin Yang finally returned to his small, shabby rented room.

Since the library only provided five hundred in rental subsidies, Qin Yang had no choice but to rent a cheap old house, where the interior looked somewhat worn.

After pouring himself a glass of water, Qin Yang lay down on the bed, planning to scroll through videos and rest for a while.

“Swish!”

Just then, he frowned, suddenly hearing a few strange noises coming from under the bed.

“A rat?”

Qin Yang immediately got up, took out his Phone, turned on the flashlight, and crouched down to look under the bed, where he saw a Black Shadow crawling on the floor.Qin Yang initially thought it was a rat, so he grabbed a broom and swept the black shadow out directly.

“Huh? A cockroach?”

When he clearly saw the true form of the black shadow, Qin Yang was instantly startled.

This black shadow turned out to be a large cockroach the size of a rat, its entire body covered in a crimson exoskeleton, vastly different from ordinary cockroaches.

“Truly worthy of being a Fantasy World, even the cockroaches are extraordinary.”

Qin Yang marveled in amazement and immediately thought about stomping this giant cockroach to death.

Although the cockroach was large, it was still just a cockroach—he wasn’t exactly afraid of it.

Just then, the long-silent system prompt suddenly echoed in his mind.

“Ding, King-level Star Beast detected: Immortal Cockroach.”

“Warning, danger!”

“The host’s current strength is far inferior to the King-level Star Beast. Please escape immediately!”

“Please escape immediately!”

The system’s prompt carried a hint of panic, as if it had encountered some kind of threat.

“Immortal Cockroach?”

“King-level Star Beast?”

After processing the information, Qin Yang stared at the giant cockroach before him, his mind momentarily blank.

In this world, the ranks of Star Warriors are divided into the Acquired Realm and the Innate Realm.

The Acquired Realm has nine tiers, and breaking through to the Innate Realm is a feat only one in ten thousand geniuses can achieve.

Humans absorb Star Power to become Star Warriors.

Non-human creatures can also absorb Star Power to grow stronger, evolving into fearsome Star Beasts.

Moreover, they can gain certain special abilities.

Humans can hunt Star Beasts, extracting their star cores to enhance their cultivation.

Similarly, Star Beasts can devour humans to boost their strength.

Thus, humans and Star Beasts are natural adversaries.

The strength of a King-level Star Beast is equivalent to that of an Innate Warrior among humans.

But now the system was indicating that this giant cockroach before him was a Beast King capable of rivaling an Innate expert?

Currently, he was just an ordinary person unable to absorb Star Power. Facing a King-level Star Beast, he would undoubtedly be utterly defenseless.

“Ding, the host must escape immediately, or their life will be in peril!”

The system’s prompts kept ringing in his mind.

But as Qin Yang looked down at the giant cockroach under his foot, he was completely baffled.

“System, are you mistaken?”

“This is just a big cockroach.”

Sure, it’s a bit larger than usual.

But…

Calling this a Beast King? Isn’t that a bit too exaggerated?

Just as Qin Yang’s gaze remained fixed on the giant cockroach, a translucent screen suddenly appeared before his eyes.

Race: Immortal Cockroach (possesses Ancient Demonic Insect Bloodline)

Level: King-level

Innate Ability: Undying Body

Trait: Violent Temperament

It really is an Immortal Cockroach?

Seeing the information displayed, Qin Yang was somewhat astonished.

He could even see hidden details?

Could this giant cockroach truly be a Beast King?

“Alert! Alert!”

“The Immortal Cockroach has a violent temperament and is extremely dangerous. The host must flee for their life immediately!”

Qin Yang’s heart tightened, and he instinctively took a step back.

But then he noticed the giant cockroach circling on the ground, seemingly lost and unable to find its way home.

This silly thing—a Beast King?

Observing the harmless appearance of the giant cockroach, Qin Yang immediately relaxed.

“This system must have some sort of malfunction.”

Then, recalling its innate ability—Undying Body—a thought suddenly sparked in his mind.The next moment, Qin Yang abruptly stomped down on the giant cockroach.

Crunch!

Accompanied by the sound of shattered exoskeleton, the giant cockroach burst into pulp.

Qin Yang glanced at the thoroughly dead cockroach on the ground and let out a scornful laugh.

And this is called the Beast King?

Undying Body? A single stomp turned it into pulp.

This system must be seriously malfunctioning!
