Chapter 11 The Present Condition of Humanity and Literacy

She: "So, what shall I call you?"

I hesitated for a moment and said, "Ninety-nine."

"Huh?" She looked surprised. I can also understand, after all, this name really doesn't look like a name......

"It's just a code name, anyway." I don't care.

"That's not going to work! Names are important! But...... I haven't learned much either, so let's call you ninety-nine. I don't want it, it's so ugly, it feels like an object."

She said excitedly, obviously I didn't care...... Hey, my sister is kind, I'll agree, anyway, I don't have anything to lose.

"Hmm."

Just as I was communicating with Xu Yi, the tall goblin pushed open the secret door, held a magic wand in his hand, and rushed in directly.

He looked angry when he saw us.

"You guys? Don't come out even when you're awake! Get me back to my room!"

Xu Yi and I both nodded.

Hum! The goblin snorted angrily.

Then, we followed the goblin back to our room.

The goblin swung his wand around the air a few times before saying, "Get up!"

I saw the wand glow pale blue and emit a circle of sound waves.

I didn't feel too loud as I stood behind the goblin, but everyone else in the room was 'ping-in'.

Looking at the panicked expressions of the people in the room, I could probably guess how loud it was.

Subsequently, we were taken out by the goblins and assigned work.

On the way I counted the others except me, 19......

Today I was tasked with cleaning the side stairs from the third floor to the fourth floor.

I did my job quickly, but today the goblin said that I would stay here at the stairs after finishing my work and wait for other tasks.

So when I was done, I found a corner and stayed there.

After that, I was arranged to clean all kinds of pattern stains under the wall, and I was asked to do it on the entire third floor.

In fact, although the total cleaning area is much larger, it is still easier to clean the pattern under the wall than to clean the stairs because it is not used to carry buckets back and forth.

When I was all cleaned up, through the window, I saw the golden glow of the sunrise.

That was the end of the morning's work.

Back to the small area of the maid, we will have work in the afternoon.

In this way, I began to gradually adapt to the life of this slave.

Two meals of insect soup a day, two periods of work a day. One from midnight to early morning, one from afternoon to evening, and occasionally from noon to afternoon.

I was tired to death every day, and I deeply experienced the hardships of child labor.

Through occasional conversations with Xu Yi, as well as exchanges with others.

I learned that the Tianxia Continent where I am now is located, and the calendar is 576 years of the Holy Emperor calendar.

The exact date is not known, but the time is May.

And the human situation is roughly the same as I guessed.

Humans have been invaded by subhumans, demons, saints, dragons, and other magic-wielding races.

All human beings can only live secretly, or become 'savages' in the mountains and forests, or become 'beasts' in some royal cities, and are called 'ancient species' by other races

After I learned about this, I felt once again that I was really in the wrong place.

Of course, there is another thing that makes me speechless, these people have no understanding of magic!

In the first year of the Holy Emperor calendar, mankind was completely invaded. However, for 576 years, no human has understood magic?

Could it be that these people around me just don't understand??

Sister Xu Yi and her sister Xu Xia occasionally taught me some of the characters of this world—the Holy Type Script.

They were happy to teach me, but I felt bad about the words of this world.

I'm traveling through a place where Chinese is spoken! Of course, the words of this world are also square words!

Despair! Despair!

There are 3,000 commonly used Chinese characters in China, and some prodigies can even reach tens of thousands!

This means that I need to memorize 3,000 or even tens of thousands of basic texts that I don't know at all! I guess I have to memorize a thousand new words......

It's not 26 letters in English, and it's not 50 in Japanese! Rather, it's 3000 base characters!

"Uncomfortable, collapsed ......"

When Xu Yi first taught me the otherworldly characters of one, two, three, four, five, I was a little discouraged......

(Although I still have to learn...... )

A nine requires 7 strokes, and a ten, but only three strokes are needed. The 'three' in this world looks like 'seven'!

"I really doubt that I will remember it to the end, not only did I not understand the words of this world, but I also forgot the words of my own world."

It took me 2 days to remember the one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, ninety, and zero in this world! And, of course, lowercase numbers.

"But fortunately, Xiao Xie's numbers are ordinary Arabic numerals, so you don't need to learn them."

"Unable to complain about ......"

Of course, I am very grateful for their teaching.

And they only treated me like a sister......

"I'm a man!"

【Day 4 Morning】

I didn't wake up early today, so I was naturally awakened by the goblin's shockwave-like 'wake up' greeting.

I was tired, but I had to go to work.

We followed the goblins, and on the way I noticed that none of us looked very good.

Everyone seemed to be a little malnourished......

"I don't know how long I'll last."

I can't see myself because there are no mirrors, but I think I must be like them......

"Hey...... I didn't think anything like that would happen yesterday......" said one of my personalities.

"Hey, yes......"

My face was full of black lines, thinking about the terrible things that happened when I went to bed yesterday.

Last night, my third day as a servant (slave).

After eating, I lay down in bed. Because a few more people died, now I have my own bed.

Finally having my own bed, I naturally wanted to sleep beautifully.

However, halfway through my sleep, I felt my bed sink and shake dramatically.

I immediately opened my eyes in alarm.

At this moment, I saw a dark shadow pressing against me. And lifted up my clothes.

"Hmm...... What's going on? ”

The shadow talked about my clothes.

"I'm a vacuum...... This pervert?!! ”

I felt bad and wanted to struggle, but then I realized that my hands were tied to the head of the bed.

“TM?! Yes? What do these mean? ”

Well, the last thing I wanted happened happened!

"This person probably wants me."

Fear welled up in my heart, and I struggled desperately, kicking and twisting my body to move towards the head of the bed.

But as soon as I twisted my body and my legs were about to be raised, a big hand covered my mouth directly and pressed my head against the bed. The other hand held my calves together.

The strong momentum made me a little foggy, and although there was a hand holding my mouth down, it was okay to be able to breathe through my nose, but the problem was not breathing. But......

When he did that, I couldn't struggle or move at all.

"Meow meow?? And this kind of operation? ”
