The Wretch and the City-State

A man from Qin in the land of Chu accidentally entered a hidden paradise. When he turned his gaze toward the world beyond the towering snow-capped mountains, he found that the creatures there shared the same instincts as all living things: survival and reproduction. The difference was that there was virtually no reproductive barrier between different species, not even between them and humans!

And mating with humans could awaken the intelligence of their offspring and open their minds!

Then one day, several middle-aged men dressed strangely and speaking crudely appeared out of nowhere, casually displaying abilities only possessed by legendary beings.

Were they gods sent by their ancestors?

The few sleazy men who had stumbled in by accident looked at one another:

So they're all a bunch of idiots! They're that easy to fool?

If we'd known, we'd have claimed to be Qin Shi Huang from the start! Our vast fortune has been frozen by the UN, and we need a little processing fee to unlock it. Would these silly girls have sent us the money already?

You don't have reproductive barriers between species, right? What a hassle to crossbreed for generations before getting a dominant gene! Our top surgeon can graft it right onto you in one go. We can even give you a five-clawed golden dragon look, and your health insurance will cover it! You there, with the antlers, I can see you've got potential! Is your insurance plan provincial or municipal?
