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 Hostâs 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 systemâs cold mechanical voice rang out in succession in Su Baiâs 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 Baiâs view. It showed the first dayâs date already marked with the words âChecked Inâ. 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 shouldnât be able to see this calendar, right?]
[Ding! Only Host can see the calendar page.]
[Thatâs good then. Leave the package unclaimed for now.] Su Bai said, the corner of his mouth curving up slightly.
He didnât 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 youâre not going to listen, then donât 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.
"Iâll take you to rest," Yan Hua glanced at Su Baiâs pale face. Remembering that he had been unconscious for three days, her icy expression immediately softened.
"Alright." Su Baiâs lips curled up slightly. [Oh? So the cow horned girl has a cold exterior but a warm heart.]
"Letâs go." Yan Hua strode towards the centre of the camp, explaining, "The Shamanâs tent and the Chieftainâs 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.
"Youâll stay in the left tent. The right one is my Fatherâs," 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.
"Youâre 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.
"Itâs just for one night. I have night patrol duty tonight," Yan Hua said through gritted teeth.
She didnât want to let Su Bai stay there either, but her Father had sent her to guide the Successor, which included arranging his accommodation. There wasnât 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! Donât go rummaging through my things!" Yan Hua lifted her chin slightly, a blush appearing on her cheeks.
"I wonât." Su Bai responded, suppressing his chuckle.
"If anything comes up, have someone come get me." Leaving those words, Yan Hua hurriedly ran off.
"Sheâs already embarrassed." Su Bai shook his head in amusement and lifted the flap to enter the tent.
Her tent wasnât 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, nothingâŠ"
He sat down on the pile of hay, preparing to open the Systemâs 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 dayâs Assistance PackageâŠ] [Ding! Congratulations to the Host for obtaining the Intermediate Grade Assistance: Heal.]
âOh? An Intermediate Grade Assistance right off the bat, is this a first day opening bonus or something?â 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 didnât 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?]
âOpen 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 oneâs 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.
