The Strongest Backing

I transmigrated into a beastman smut novel world where men far outnumber women.

I was starving, barely clothed, and living in squalor.

The System took pity on my miserable state and granted me a single chance:

[This is a communication privilege that can connect to any time and space. You may use it to seek help.]

I froze.

Who would help a stranger for no reason?

The System added: [You may also choose to forfeit.]

“No.”

I raised my hand and pressed the dial button without a moment’s hesitation.

“Hello? Is this the Country?”

“I am… a citizen of China.”
