Chereads / The Supreme Taming System / Chapter 4 - Seeds

Chapter 4 - Seeds

Roman grabbed the two slips of gold paper in front of him and broke out into a wide smile as he read the large bold words plastered on them.

"Things are getting interesting," Roman thought.

So far, the system was living up to his expectations. But little did Roman know, he would soon find out that the consequences of having such a ridiculously advantageous system lay in the complexity of the other system functions.

Roman stared at the gold slips, which read [Divine Level Lottery Ticket.] As if he couldn't control his excitement, Roman blurted out, "System, how do I use this?"

[Host needs to command use [item] to apply items. This applies to all items in the host's inventory as well as the system functions mentioned earlier.]

"Great! Use [Divine Level Lottery Ticket]!" Roman chanted.

As Roman commanded, the system brought Roman a new window with a spinning wheel. Roman clicked on the golden wheel to begin its operation, keeping his fingers crossed and hoping for the best.

"I mean, a divine level lottery ticket can't be bad no matter what, right?" He thought as the wheel began to spin.

[Host is reminded that it was simply of the generosity and grace of the system that the host attained two divine level lottery tickets in the Beginner's Package. Such opportunities will not arise too easily in the future.]

Roman sighed as he figured that this was coming at some point. Some disappointing news now would help him better prepare for the future. Nothing is ever easy after all.

After ten seconds, the wheel began to slow down with the pin sliding slowly sliding across the grooves in the lottery wheel. He began to make out the words on each wheel.

Instant Affinity Charm. Supreme Tamer's Hoe [Divine], Domain Expansion Pack…

The wheel eventually came to a stop and settled for a silver charm, Gold Search Charm.

The charm appeared in his inventory and Roman quickly pulled up its details.

-----

[Gold Search Charm]

Details: A one-time use item that permits the holder of the charm to locate the egg of a Gold ranked beast egg. The type of beast located by the charm is subject to location availability and cannot be specified. Select item in inventory for to use the charm.

---

"YES!" Roman clenched his fists and yelled. "This completely solves the problem of the Egg Hunt!"

Upon reading the description, Roman had his sights set on using the charm during tomorrow's hunt. He finally had to confidence to take on the challenge of the hunt and break through the shackles of the village.

Roman's plan was finally beginning to take shape.

Roman figured that the system would equate to unparalleled advantage in the hunt, but was initially unsure of what plan to formulate in order to tackle the hunt. After all, the mortality rate for the hunt in the mountains was rather high.

With the charm, Roman would be able to quickly locate the gold ranked beast egg. Now all he had to worry about was surviving the journey and working through the problem of the other beasts in the herd that would be guarding the egg. But he intended to cross that bridge when he got there.

Roman soon turned his attention back to the system.

Not forgetting the final lottery ticket, Roman repeated his actions.

The wheel once again appeared in front of Roman and he began the lottery process.

Unlike the last time, the items appearing on the wheel had changed, making Roman assume that the rewards were randomized. He wasn't wrong. The type of items that appeared on the wheel were subject to some degree of randomness but was also reliant on the level of the ticket itself.

For instance, a copper level ticket would yield items that might not be as applicable to Roman's immediate needs or desires. The divine level ticket just increased the odds of Roman's chances to attain an item that applied to his current situation.

Think of it as probability.

If the divine level ticket yielded 90% odds of the items that appeared on the wheel being applicable to his current circumstances and wishes, then a copper level ticket would only be at 5% odds. After all, a copper level ticket was just that much further from a divine level ticket.

In fact, Roman could have easily drawn a [Divine Search Charm] but was only able to amount to a [Gold Search Charm] in the end. Either way, even if Roman knew about this, he wouldn't flinch. He started off with nothing, and now his odds of reaching his goal of surpassing the limits of the village were increased exponentially.

Roman focused on the new items available for draw was the wheel slowed down once again, as it ultimately settled upon [Supreme Farming Package].

"What?"

This time, Roman was at a loss of words. "Wasn't this supposed to be a taming system and not a farming system?"

[Host seems to be questioning the logic of the system.]

Roman agreed with the system. It was simply ridiculous that Roman would receive an inapplicable item from the system.

Roman jumped to the conclusion that since the system technically would suit each world, that the system must have mixed up items from a farming system world instead.

[Host's logic is flawed.] The system began, causing Roman to get annoyed. He didn't appreciate being doubted even though he did dispute the insult out loud.

[Host is probably assuming that farming has nothing to do with taming, right? Well, wrong. Farming has everything to do with taming. In the art of taming and rearing beasts, one has to understand the intricacies of the dietary habits of their beast companions. This allows the tamer to ensure that the beast is raised appropriately and in good health.]

Some beasts were herbivores, others were carnivores. Well, you get the idea.

Roman finally began to grasp at what the system was getting at. But before Roman could chime in, the system continued.

[Host is required to grow certain type of feed for his companion beasts. Fortunately for the host, the [Supreme Farming Package] provided by the system enables the host to grow a particular kind of feed. This will make the host's life a lot easier. Please open the package and the host will understand.]

Roman did as instructed and once again pulled up his inventory to click on the package.

Like the last time, the package appeared before him and displayed a [Supreme Farming] skill book, a hoe, a bucket, and a sack seeds.

Roman proceeded to inspect the seeds after learning the skill. Only then did he understand what the system meant.
