I Just Want to Farm, But My Beasts Keep Evolving!!
Chapter 92: The New Super Chatty System
"Wait, you can talk?!" Raiden let out a surprised yelp as he looked at the system screen in front of him.
He still remembered that when he tried to open the system or access it, he literally had to say everything under the heavens to get it to work. And now, you are telling him that it could talk all along?!
{Yes, I can speak, host. The system has gained the ability to speak after the recent evolution.}
{How can I help you, host?}
Raiden looked at the system with a twitch in his eye. Somehow, he had a bad feeling about it.
"Okay, system, tell me about the new features and unlocks I got. Also, tell me how many times can you evolve?? Will it be every time I upgrade my Tier??" Raiden asked directly.
{The system evolution is not fixed. It may or may not evolve based on your needs. As for the new features, it has a ton of new features!! Which one do you want to know about first, the host?}
"What do you mean the system evolution is not fixed, and it will evolve based on my needs?" Raiden questioned.
{Answering the host, the system has no fixed growth pattern, and it is a Limitless Evolution System, so it will gather data and evolve in real time based on your needs. Every time you want something, it might appear in the next evolution.}
{For example, since you have been managing the farm and need to manage a lot of Terra Beasts together, the system has evolved to include a group upgrade feature. Now you can upgrade the potential of 9 Terrans together, or upgrade one Terra Beast 7 times.}
{Note: The Terra Beast must be a level lower than you.}
"Wait, are you for real?! I don’t have to upgrade those damn sheeps one by one anymore??" Raiden asked incredulously.
He had brought 100 Woollies to expand his farm, but he had underestimated the work it took to manage them all alone. Not to mention, he had to upgrade all their potentials one by one from scratch.
Combined with the previous Ten Sheeps, he was completely spent and turned into a wet noodle by the time night rolled around.
It had taken 15 days for him to get them all from F to B Potential, and he felt like he had lost half a life already.
To learn he could upgrade them en masse made him very happy.
"That’s great news!! Thank you, system, you are the best!! I love you!!" Raiden exclaimed happily.
{Ding!! The other system update, aka me, was also sent here to address this problem for the host.}
"Huh?? Problem?? What problem are you talking about??" Raiden asked, confused.
{The system has detected that the host was very lonely and had no friends or girlfriends...so it created a persona inside the system that can help him keep company.}
Raiden: ?????
Hearing the robotic voice, Raiden felt lost for a moment before he exploded in anger.
"What rubbish!! Who said I am lonely, and don’t have friends?! Bring him out for me. I cannot promise I won’t hit him!! This feature, delete this feature this instant!!" Raiden shouted, his voice and tone laced with anger.
{Are you sure, host?? The system can imitate different kinds of voices based on your preferences, like...Onii-Chan....or....Ara ara, boya~....or even the voice of someone you know, like...Raiden you fool~ You have been a very bad boy~ Teacher Yuna has no other choice but to punish you myself...}
"Stop!! Just stop!!!" Raiden exclaimed, his face red, maybe due to anger or embarrassment or both.
This system had turned completely shameless. He had no idea how to handle it, to be honest. What kind of evolution was this?! Did he really look and seem that desperate??? He was a man with standards, and won’t settle for AI waifus like the degenerates from his previous world.
"Purge. Purge this feature immediately!!" Raiden spoke in a firm tone.
{Are you sure, host?? This feature was specially curated for you, it has over thousands of—}
"Yes, I am sure!! Do it now. I don’t need this feature!!" Raiden spoke with extreme conviction in his voice.
To be honest, he feared that if he didn’t do it now, and heard about all the features and things it could do, he might give in later and keep it. So he decided to get rid of this evil feature from the system immediately.
{Ding!! Command detected!! Purging the voice and loneliness module from the system....purge complete!! The feature has been deleted, host.}
"Thank you....now tell me about all the other features you have. You mentioned something, something about skill system or something?" Raiden asked in a tired voice.
He felt like talking to this new system was even more tiring than evolving to Silver Tier Battle Master.
{Ah, you are talking about the Skills Acquiring System. It is a new feature that lets you turn any kind of work into a skill and allows you to evolve it by gaining experience. We have created an updated status for you. Would you like to see it??}
"Alright then, show me the status. I haven’t checked it in a long time."
{Name: Raiden Ashford}
{Rank: Silver}
{Potential: E Tier}
{Bloodline: Normal Human Bloodline}
{Techniques: Intermediate Meditation Mantra (Upgrade Available), Intermediate Physical Conditioning (Upgrade Available)}
{Skills: Shameless(Level 7), Hooligan(Level 5), Cooking(Level 4), Cleaning(Level 3), Flirting(Level 1)...}
Looking at the skill panel that extended endlessly, Raiden wasn’t able to close his mouth for a while.
The skill panel was truly wild; it had hundreds of skills listed upon it, with a lot of them being absurd. Like, what do you mean he was at Level 3 in cleaning toilets?!! Or Level 6 in picking boogers??? How was that even a skill??? And why was his highest skill Shameless and Hooligan??
He, Raiden Ashford, was a true gentleman and not a shameless person at all. He dared anyone to come forward and call him shameless on his face. He bet there wasn’t a single person on the planet who considered him shameless.
"Hey, shitty system, are you sure you got the correct skill list?? This can not be correct!! Do I look like a shameless person to you?!" Raiden asked in indignation.
{Yes.}
"You—" Raiden started taking big heaves of breath in anger, before letting out a resigned exhale. So be it. He’ll let this shameless system throw mud on his stellar reputation for now. What could he do? He still needed it for his survival.
"Alright, you win right now. But how do I improve it?? Or how much work do I need to do to improve them?? What are the benefits?" Raiden asked.
{Please click on a skill host, and you will understand it.}
Hearing the words, Raiden clicked on the Cooking skill curiously, only to see it enlarge in his vision.
{Cooking (Level 4): The host can make a variety of dishes, but none of them tastes good. He is a barely passable cook. Current progress: 4,788/8,000}
Raiden’s eye twitched as he read the remark attached to the skill.
"And so, how do I upgrade it?? Do I just keep repeating the work, and it will upgrade automatically??" Ignoring the words on the screen, Raiden asked directly.
{That is correct, host. You just need to repeat the same action again and again. The more you do it, the faster the skill will enhance, with Level 10 being the highest.}
"Alright, I got it. Any other features or upgrades that I should know about??" Raiden asked in a resigned voice.
{You can now also see and read the descriptions about different moves that a Terra Beast has, and also read the status of Platinum Terra Beast clearly now.}
"Uh ah. Got it. Anything else??"
{No, that is all for now, host. You can ask me any questions that you don’t understand or know about now.}
Raiden let out a sigh of relief. He was worried the system would tell it had some kind of other feature that drove the loneliness away. But it was good, good that it did not do anything more of the sort.
"Alright, I have one final question to ask you. How did I end up in this world? And what exactly is a system??" Raiden asked, his voice completely serious.
It was the biggest question on his mind.
{Does the host truly wish to know the answer?}
"Yes, I do," Raiden said in all his seriousness.
{Ding!! Then please upgrade the system host. Your current access and permissions are insufficient to find the answer from this system. If you upgrade it sufficiently, you can find the answer to your question in the future.}
"Upgrades?? Insufficient permission?? From who?? Alright, don’t answer that. Just tell me how many more upgrades do I need to find the answer to that question??" Raiden asked patiently.
{Ding!! Permission Insufficient to answer host. Please upgrade the system to find out more.}
Hearing the same thing again, Raiden flipped out.
"Why you shitty little—"
