Chapter 3: Letting You Stay for One Night

As an author, he naturally knew of the fictional settings of a character having a System. It was precisely why he was so taken aback.[Ding! Yes, the Daily Assistance System is at Host’s service.]

Su Bai maintained his expression, glancing at the cow horned girl beside him from the corner of his eye. He continued asking, [What functions do you have?]

[Ding! The Daily Assistance System currently only has a daily check in function.] [Ding! Checking in each day grants a random Assistance Package, with a 1% chance of obtaining an Intermediate Grade Assistance Package and a 0.1% chance of a High Grade Assistance Package.]

The system’s cold mechanical voice rang out in succession in Su Bai’s mind:

[Ding! Checking in every month is guaranteed to yield an Intermediate Grade Assistance Package, and checking in every year is guaranteed to yield a High Grade Assistance Package.]

[Does the System only have Low, Intermediate, and High Grade Assistance Packages?] Su Bai asked in his mind.

[Ding! Higher Grade Assistance Packages will be unlocked one year after the Host starts checking in.]

[System, I want to check in,] Su Bai ordered impatiently in his mind.

[Ding! Check in successful.]

Hearing this, a virtual calendar page popped up in Su Bai’s view. It showed the first day’s date already marked with the words ‘Checked In’. There was also a line of small text that read: "Unclaimed Assistance Package."

He turned his head to look at Yan Hua, who was introducing him to the Tribe, and asked in his mind, [System, others shouldn’t be able to see this calendar, right?]

[Ding! Only Host can see the calendar page.]

[That’s good then. Leave the package unclaimed for now.] Su Bai said, the corner of his mouth curving up slightly.

He didn’t know if claiming the package would cause any anomalies. It was best to be cautious in unfamiliar territory. He would claim it once he was in a private space.

"Hey! Are you even listening to me?" Yan Hua narrowed her red eyes.

Observing that Su Bai had been distracted for quite a while, she coldly reprimanded, "If you’re not going to listen, then don’t waste my time."

Yan Hua still needed to train. The past few days spent searching for the Successor had greatly reduced the intensity of her training. If this continued, it would be very difficult for her to become a Totem Warrior.

"Sorry, my head feels a bit dizzy, I had unintentionally zoned out," Su Bai apologized.

"I’ll take you to rest," Yan Hua glanced at Su Bai’s pale face. Remembering that he had been unconscious for three days, her icy expression immediately softened.

"Alright." Su Bai’s lips curled up slightly. [Oh? So the cow horned girl has a cold exterior but a warm heart.]

"Let’s go." Yan Hua strode towards the centre of the camp, explaining, "The Shaman’s tent and the Chieftain’s tent are in the middle of the Tribe."

She led Su Bai to the massive hide tent, then went around to the back. There were two tents here, with one smaller than the other.

"You’ll stay in the left tent. The right one is my Father’s," Yan Hua said, pointing at the tents before them.

"Whose tent is this?" Su Bai asked curiously.

"Mine," Yan Hua lowered her voice a bit.

"You’re giving me your tent to stay in? Then where will you sleep?" Su Bai asked in surprise.

His treatment had been completely upgraded. Compared to initially sleeping at the outskirts of the camp, now he was directly entering the core area.

"It’s just for one night. I have night patrol duty tonight," Yan Hua said through gritted teeth.

She didn’t want to let Su Bai stay there either, but her Father had sent her to guide the Successor, which included arranging his accommodation. There wasn’t time to set up a new tent now, so she could only let him use her tent.

"Okay." Su Bai nodded. For the cow horned girl to let him stay in her own tent was a huge show of goodwill.

"Hmph! Don’t go rummaging through my things!" Yan Hua lifted her chin slightly, a blush appearing on her cheeks.

"I won’t." Su Bai responded, suppressing his chuckle.

"If anything comes up, have someone come get me." Leaving those words, Yan Hua hurriedly ran off.

"She’s already embarrassed." Su Bai shook his head in amusement and lifted the flap to enter the tent.

Her tent wasn’t very big, around six or seven square metres. [The items inside are neatly arranged… well, as if!]

There was no wooden bed in the tent, just a pile of hay serving as the bed with an animal hide laid over it. There was no wardrobe or anything like that either. Everything was messily placed on the ground, and the floor was dirt with a clear display of footprints.

"I almost forgot, this is a primitive society." Su Bai scratched his head vigorously and sighed, "No computer, no phone, nothing…"

He sat down on the pile of hay, preparing to open the System’s Assistance Package to give his heart a bit of solace.

[System, open the Assistance Package,] Su Bai commanded in his mind.

[Ding! Opening the first day’s Assistance Package…] [Ding! Congratulations to the Host for obtaining the Intermediate Grade Assistance: Heal.]

“Oh? An Intermediate Grade Assistance right off the bat, is this a first day opening bonus or something?” Su Bai exclaimed in pleasant surprise.

[Ding! Yes.]

"It really is, huh?" Su Bai laughed, not minding it. With a thought, he opened up the introduction for the Healing Technique.

[Heal: Consumes Mental Energy to stimulate vitality around the wounded area, accelerating the healing process.]

"As expected of Heal. Even at Level 1, its function is praise worthy. Though, the description is too short."

Su Bai didn’t really have any complaints. Thus, he could only continue asking, "System, how many levels are there for Heal in total? How do I level it up?"

[Ding! When proficiency is maxed, it can level up. Skill-type techniques have ten levels in total.] [Ding! Would you like to open the character Attribute Panel?]

S~ᴇaʀᴄh the ɴøvᴇl_Firᴇ.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of nøvels early and in the highest quality.

“Open it," Su Bai nodded.

[Attribute Panel] Host: Su Bai Stamina: 0.7 (Ordinary person 1) Strength: 0.8 (Ordinary person 1) Speed: 0.7 (Ordinary person 1) Mental Energy: 2.1 (Ordinary person 1) Profession: Author Skills: Heal (0/100) Description: A shut-in novelist whose body is already in a sub-healthy state.

"The Attribute Panel is really easy to understand." Su Bai was concerned about his sub-healthy state. In primitive society, if one fell ill, there were no hospitals.

Moreover, Heal was only level one right now and only worked on wounds. Viral infections and illnesses were untreatable. One could only rely on their immune system. Furthermore, the effectiveness of one’s immune system was inseparable from having a strong Physique.

"Looks like I need to start exercising," Su Bai sighed, feeling like the good days were already far behind him.
