Chapter 1
Chapter 1
"Goblins are ugly, low-level monsters that like to abduct members of the opposite sex and bring them into their caves to breed."
"They have a natural affinity and possessiveness towards any member of the opposite sex."
"It is worth noting that goblins possess the racial talent of being able to combine with any creature, which means that their targets are not limited to humans, but sometimes also chickens and ducks in farmhouses and cattle and sheep in livestock pens."
In front of the campfire, Karp, the captain of the adventurer's party, was explaining information about goblins to the newcomer, House.
Their next task was to clear out a goblin lair.
After finishing his explanation, Captain Karp patted House on the shoulder, then went to sleep with the other three teammates, leaving House, the newcomer who had just joined the team, to keep watch.
Of course, this is not bullying by adventurers; everyone actually has to take turns keeping watch.
However, as a newcomer, House should rightfully be ranked first.
After all, the sun had only just set, and the monsters in the forest were not yet very active, so there was no need to worry too much about encountering sudden dangers.
Only late at night do we need to be extra vigilant.
At this time, the veteran adventurer and captain, Garp, who has finished resting, will take over the night watch and stay up until dawn.
Beside the campfire, House glanced at his teammates who were still awake, then lowered his head and pretended to look at the longsword lying across his lap.
In reality, he was taking the opportunity to check his system panel.
Monster Girl Contract Manual
[Name: House]
Race: Human
Strength: 5 (Physical Attack Power, Carrying Capacity, Striking Power)
Agility: 5 (Movement speed, physical coordination)
[Constitution: 5 (Vital Energy, Defense, Endurance)]
[Intelligence: 10 (Memory, Mental Strength, Skill Learning Efficiency)]
Perception: 10 (Insight, Judgment)
[Charm: 5 (Charisma, Approachability)]
[Skills: None]
[Contracted Monster: None]
......
Very ordinary panel data.
However, his intelligence and perception scores were exceptionally high, more than twice that of the average person.
Perhaps it's because House himself is a time traveler.
House still feels a little unreal when he recalls waking up in the farmhouse last month.
He really did time travel.
As for his past life, there's no need to mention it. He was just an ordinary working man who stumbled upon a stroke of luck while doing something righteous, and thus stumbled upon another world.
Not only were they reborn, but they also gained a cheat code that allowed them to view personal data, contract with monsters, and share monster skills.
It was this use of the cheat code that made House a little nervous.
He must first meet the monster's demands step by step, interact with the monster, and work hard to increase the monster's favorability until the conditions for the contract are met.
What kind of "corner-giving wood" version of a contract manual is this?!
Despite his complaints, House obediently quit his job as a farmer, took the money his predecessor had saved over several years to buy a house and a wife, totaling seventy-four silver coins and twelve copper coins, and bought a set of equipment to prepare for his future adventurous life.
The adventure team beside him was one that House had joined for ten silver coins, and they were leading him on his first exploration.
It's expensive, but worth it.
According to the memories of the previous incarnation, the monsters in this world are not weak. Even the lowest-ranking goblins and slimes have the combat power to kill ordinary humans single-handedly.
Every trip is an adventure.
House didn't want his first adventure to backfire.
The best option is to find a team of experienced adventurers, go on a few adventure missions with them, and get familiar with the environment and the life of adventurers.
He still cherishes his own life.
"cough!"
A cough, neither too loud nor too soft, came from behind.
Russell, the spellcaster in the group, coughed.
At the same time, the burly man Zem, who was acting as the meat shield, also started snoring.
Coming to his senses, House put aside his chaotic thoughts and began to diligently and earnestly carry out his night watch, until it was the spellcaster Russell's turn, the archer Jack's turn, then the burly man Zem's turn, and finally the captain Karp's turn.
When it was Zem's turn to keep watch, House, still excited about his adventurous life and unable to fall asleep, heard the spellcaster, Lady Russell, snoring very faintly.
House gained a new understanding of this guy who always had a stern face towards him.
......
"House, there's a slime over there, do you want to give it a try?"
At dawn, on the way to the goblin's lair, archer Jack suddenly turned around and said something to House at the back of the group.
Following Jack's gaze, House noticed a semi-transparent green water sphere wriggling in the bushes ahead.
Inside the water sphere were several broken bones and twigs.
Slime, nature's garbage can, can hold anything and eat anything.
They can even take a bite out of a stone.
Upon hearing Jack's sudden words, House immediately turned his gaze to Captain Karp.
The slime was not part of their current adventure.
"Go ahead, that slime isn't very big."
Captain Karp first glanced at Jack and his two old teammates before nodding slightly to House.
Seeing this, House nodded, picked up the brand-new second-hand longsword, and walked towards the slime.
House's money was only enough to buy a good inner armor or a good longsword.
So he simply chose two half-price second-hand items.
When it comes to things, buy good quality over bad quality; as long as it works, there's no need to be too picky.
They approached the slime.
House looked at the slime in front of him, its eyes wide open and staring at him, and initiated a contract verification.
[Does not meet contractual requirements]
Okay, this is a male slime.
House gripped his longsword and slashed at the slime.
But just as the longsword was about to strike, the slime slipped away slightly, eerily sliding off the tip of the sword.
Then, to House's astonishment, the green oval water sphere, no more than half a meter in diameter, suddenly shrank into a ball, leaped up, and crashed into him.
With a thud, House was knocked off balance.
Powerful.
No wonder they say that even ordinary slimes have the power to kill a human single-handedly.
After retreating slightly, House put on a fighting look and launched a charging horizontal slash at the slime.
With a single sword strike, the round, dust-covered membrane pierced through, striking straight into the withered bones and branches inside.
A large amount of liquid splattered out, landing on House's arm, carrying a slight warmth and a foul odor.
This substance is similar to human stomach acid; although it is corrosive, its strength is negligible.
House didn't pay much attention and casually flicked his arm to shake off the slime liquid.
But before he could even swing his sword at the slime a second time...
"Puff puff puff puff..."
A spraying sound suddenly emanated from the slime's body, and the fluid that had initially gushed out was now spraying intermittently until it gradually stopped.
The membrane that House had torn open was rapidly healing, tightly blocking the outflow of bodily fluids.
