Starting Out by Meeting a Cyber Ghost-and Teasing Her! / The Upper House Is Satisfied, While the Lower House Says It Is Not Enough!

Blessed by Abundance, I Became a Scourge of Terra — a novel by Yike Cao

The protagonist is a Scourge of Abundance, chaotic good, and not an Abundance Pathfinder.

Which Terra is this, anyway?

Who exactly blessed me?

Although Huang Cao, who had just arrived on this land, had no idea whether that being was an evil god, she was at least a "beautiful girl."

Although he also had no idea what blessing the antlered Goddess had granted him, teasing Cyber Ghost here was quite enjoyable.

Thus, upholding the strategic principle that if you hit me, I hit back—and if I cannot beat you, I will endure it—

under this person's ravaging, this land gradually began to echo with the reputation of the Scourge of Abundance.

At the same time, the title of Sarkaz Harem King often resounded through the unofficial histories of countries across the world.

Chapter 1: Starting Out by Meeting a Cyber Ghost—and Teasing Her!

Sometimes, when people were exhausted, they fantasized: If only I were a blade of grass.

All I would have to do every day was bask in the sun and absorb nutrients from the soil. I would only need a little breeze—no distracting music, no exhausting paperwork.

But today, Huang Cao finally understood that becoming a blade of grass might not be as wonderful as he had imagined.

After all, in troubled times, people could be treated like two-legged sheep. Grass could likewise be chewed down until only the roots remained.

After being crushed to death, Huang Cao's soul arrived in an endless starry sky. There, he saw a "lady" with two horns growing from her head and what looked like countless eyes covering her body.

Meng Po did not look like this, did she? Where was the Bridge of Helplessness?

Could it be that I am transmigrating? Could this lady be the Goddess in charge of giving heroes their quests?

But this style seemed a little off. Had the Goddess's business expanded to my country too?

Whatever one asked for would be answered. All living beings suffered...

In his daze, Huang Cao heard those words and thought, Sure enough, this is a Goddess from our traditional culture. The way she speaks sounds just like classical Chinese.

Very much in line with the development of the times.

Remembering his former life as an overworked office slave, the dazed Huang Cao only wanted to become carefree.

This extraordinarily beautiful deity seemed to see through Huang Cao's thoughts. A smile curved at the corner of her lips, and then she pulled the antlers from her head.

The two enormous antlers traced streaks of light as they plunged directly into Huang Cao's body. He did not even have time to react.

He had no idea what happened next. Huang Cao only knew that everything went black, and then he found himself in this deserted place, having become a blade of grass.

Before he fainted, however, he seemed to hear the deity utter a puzzled remark...

"Where the hell did you send me? Which Terra is this? Am I supposed to believe in a Chaos Space evil god or a golden toilet? Why are there so many beast-eared girls?"

Huang Cao's soul floated above the tip of a blade of grass. The boy never doubted that the grass beneath his backside was his true body.

Transmigration, huh? What was the big deal? How did that saying go?

Whether transmigration was a conspiracy theory or not, the unknown existence that caused you to transmigrate could do so with a thought. If it wanted to eliminate you, a few words or a wave of its hand would be enough.

So instead of dwelling on it, he might as well enjoy himself.

Huang Cao looked at his surroundings and found yellow stones scattered across the ground beneath his body. Some of them glimmered faintly.

They gave off all sorts of strange lights, but unexpectedly, the illumination from these stones felt quite comfortable to Huang Cheng, making him unconsciously stretch his leaves in the air.

Was this what they called photosynthesis? Oh, well. Oh, well.

Becoming a blade of grass did not seem as bad as he had imagined.

Thinking back to how he had only returned home from working overtime at the company a few hours earlier, he figured that even if he had not been crushed to death by a tree, he would probably have died suddenly from overwork before long.

Fortunately, he had no attachments in his previous life. He was the perfect example of a 2D novel protagonist with no parents.

After spending a year basking in the stones' light for a few days at a time, Huang Yan suddenly felt that these stones seemed rather unusual.

Why could he hear someone speaking inside them? And why were they speaking a foreign language? Something inside seemed to be muttering the word Terra over and over.

What country's language was this? Terra? Which Terra was this?

Could this be the Terra with the golden toilet?

Please, no. That Terra was restless even in death. Besides, after becoming a blade of grass, he did not seem to possess any human bloodline.

Fortunately, after several days of exploration, Huang Cao gradually understood everything.

So it was this Terra. It was not exactly a wonderful place, but with a little luck, he could at least live peacefully for several centuries.

Moreover, the Originium Beautification Pack did not lie. Huang Cao had even obtained a woman's name from it.

After he understood the meaning of those four characters, the Originium nearby seemed to grow restless. It surged madly toward Huang Cao, as if intending to swallow up the blade of grass that he had become.

Presis. Huang Cao extracted those four characters from the enormous stream of consciousness.

Damn it, Cyber Ghost really was impossible to shake off. Just watch me fight you!

Huang Cao valued his life dearly, although he had no idea why Presis was so hostile toward him.

But if someone had already hit you in the face, could you really let her keep hitting you?

Come on, let's play! I'll pluck a few hairs from you!

After this continued for a year, a strange natural disaster descended around Huang Cao along with a certain lady's scream of anguish.

Miss Presis, who had been viciously kneaded within the Originium, could only leave in fury. She did not even have time to utter a threat.

Unfortunately, grass had never been completely eradicated.

Huang Cao also changed from a blade of grass into a gigantic stalk of grass, stubbornly raising a middle finger toward the heavens.

One had to admit, the fact that Originium contained memories was truly incredible.

In just a few short years, Huang Cao had practically turned himself into an Originium Arts master.

He also discovered that Originium had somehow become connected to him.

Before defeating Presis, that Cyber Ghost, he had only been able to absorb Originium information from the surrounding area.

But now, he could freely explore Originium information across the entirety of Terra.

Moreover, someone had apparently created an exceptionally considerate search engine for him.

With only a thought, he could retrieve the portion of the massive amount of information that he wanted.

Presis, your technology is utterly useless!

This naturally included the technique of constructing a body from a soul. Unfortunately, perhaps because of his limited education, Huang Cao made no progress despite studying it for more than half a month.

After all, Originium was merely a search engine to him now. Actual practice still required a true expert.

As for that expert, Huang Cao decided to find Doctor and give it a try in the future.

The evil spirit of Tower of Babel was physically weak, delicate and easily pushed down. If Theresia had been a little more proactive in the original plot, Presis would never have had a role afterward.

Of course, that was just a joke. It did not stop Huang Cao from going to cause trouble for Doctor.

As a spiritually original human, fellow countryman, you have to help me!

"What year is this, anyway? Is there a calendar?" Huang Cao muttered inwardly.

At the same time, he controlled his body and leaped out of the soil.

Although he could not construct a human body, growing a few extra roots and using Originium Arts to move was still easy enough.

He left the place where he had been born and stayed for several years. The Originium in that land had nearly all been absorbed by him, and remaining there any longer would provide no nutrients for growth.

Huang Cao had not enjoyed a stone-light sunbath in quite some time.

After crossing several towering mountain peaks, Huang Cao suddenly discovered a dim river valley.

Surrounded by mountains and water, the environment was somewhat harsh, with glowing stones scattered everywhere. But to him, now that he was a blade of grass, this was a rare paradise.

Who cared if the environment was harsh? Could he not simply live here for a few days?

But why was there still no one around?

There were stones everywhere. Could he have transmigrated into the Originium apocalypse route?

But how was that possible?

After years of exploration, Huang Cao finally found records concerning time in the Originium memories of a common soldier.

Five years ago, Kal'tsit had been beheaded by Teresis.

Oh, so this was the timeline.

Huang Cao understood now. No wonder he had not found anyone. Perhaps everyone had been wiped out. The place he was in should be wasteland, so it was normal for no one to be around.

He would continue developing for a while. Once he could move freely, he should at least be an Elite Operator, right?

Besides, Huang Cao did not intend to rely solely on Doctor. A man could not say that he was incapable.

Perhaps, while developing and researching, he could figure it out himself.

There were so many beast-eared girls in this world, and the local residents, beautified by the pack, were remarkably attractive.

With his special abilities, he should be able to get by anywhere after taking human form.

As for destroying the universe, if he could not defeat that so-called unknown existence, then they could all go down together.

What was the big deal? They were going to die in the end anyway. Besides, who knew how many hundreds of years away that would be?

After staying in the middle of the river valley for quite some time, the stones eventually became covered in lush green grass.

Huang Cao saw the first "human" in his life.

More precisely, he saw a group of humans, all of them beautiful, sharp-eared female humans.

From the massive Originium Database, Huang Cao easily learned their true identities.

Banshees—and wandering Banshees at that.

In his field of vision, the Banshees walked in two parallel rows.

Through the records in the Originium, Huang Cao learned that the graceful woman leading the group was named Lamian.

He also learned that they had come here in search of a place to settle down.

Please support my new book. Thank you, everyone!

Chapter 2: The Upper House Is Satisfied, While the Lower House Says It Is Not Enough!

The continuous wars had caused the Banshee population to plummet.

Huang Cao obtained this information almost instantly from the memories of the deceased Banshees.

Banshees had extremely long lifespans. Every member of this race was the embodiment of perfect beauty, regardless of whether they were male or female.

However, their extensive social experience made them extremely choosy about their partners, and they found it very difficult to find spouses.

"This is our new home. Her Highness Theresia has granted this land to us."

Lamian, who had only recently become a hero and the Lord of the Royal Court, slightly lifted the veil covering her head and gazed at the land with satisfaction.

After investigating the area, she found that its Originium content was extremely low, and it was surrounded by mountains and water.

"How could I not be satisfied?" Huang Cao swayed his body nearby. The river valley had already been mostly transformed by him, and now they got to enjoy the fruits of his labor.

"Miss Lamian, look, this tree..." A young Banshee pointed at Huang Cao's body, her eyes practically sparkling.

On this land of Kazdel, it was rare to see such dazzling green.

At least, Lamian had not seen any in a very long time.

"This probably isn't a tree. It's likely an unusually large blade of grass. Just leave it there. It's nice to look at from time to time."

By then, Huang Cao's body had grown enormous. Its main stalk was a full three people's breadth around and dozens of meters tall, making it look like a giant.

"Are you protecting this land?"

Lamian pressed her face against Huang Cao's body, attempting to use the Banshees' abilities to sense the plant's emotions.

But clearly, the person backed by the entire Originium Database had no intention of giving her that opportunity.
