Chapter 8 - Understanding the system

Hours and hours after many attempts at trying to find something that could change the definition of the bush or add more I tried everything I could. Fire I burnt it to see what would happen to it but I found out it's hard to burn it's bark is easily flammable but the meat is wet and resist the fire, cooking it which made the bark taste more like cinnamon and the meat more like almonds but the veins tasted the same it was just more gooey or runny than before more like melted cheese but it never returned to its Sold state after I cooked it no Mayer how long I left it it would just dry up. Drying it which made it extremely brittle to the point to where I could crush the entire stick between my two hands and make dust, I also tried burning the dried stick it almost instantly caught on fire and burned away, cooking the dried stick gives the stick more of a smoked flavor and the meat more of a good tree taste. Using water I tried soaking it I found the longer you leave it in and the smaller amount of water you use as well as the hotter it is The darker, more prominent, and more flavorful it gets I tried doing this with all of the previous versions I've done finding out by doing my previous experiments I can make many different flavorful drinks with the same item amazed by my discovery I attempted to look at the bush again hoping that I got more detail. There was in fact a very significant amount now detailing every flavor and variation that came up with with the drying,burning, or wetting it As well as saying and it could be very valuable to groups of people if used right with this I got an overflow of joy and screamed out "YES YES YES I FIGURED SOMETHING OUT YES" hoping that this would keep my mind from dwelling on the cave. Regaining myself and taking one final look at it before I tried closing the menu I realize there was one last option giving me the ability to presents an official name if properly used in the world without second thought I just called what I thought it was sweetsticks being oblivious that I just put that as the name making the system ding and brackets appear next to the name with (proper name sweetsticks). Shocked by the fact I could change something in this magical system I wondered what it actually changed and how much of an effect it made in reality to the system none but because of the name later it became a very important asset to me. After my brief break to double check and view the menu once again as an attempt to see if anything changed after the name change, nothing did though so I moved on and close the window but before I could walk away as I stood up that annoying ass voice again chimed in *party horn sound effect with birthday whistles* "Congratulations on learning a bit about around you gobshite you've expanded the system giving you more opportunities and more options available to you now through the main menu which you have unlocked now anytime you bring up the system your stats as well as a menu with a list of options available to you in the system will appear in alphabetical order from top to bottom options you have not unlocked yet will be crossed out with chains and locked with a lock after completing quest given to you by the system you will unlock said options when the system thinks you're capable of using those options or simply completing the quests" "NOOW THAT THE FUCKEN SPEACH IS DONE LET ME TELL YOU LEARN YOU DOPE OR ELSE YOULL BE STUCK HERE INCAPABLE OF COOKEN YOU UNDERSTAND IM GONNA GET YE A FUCKEN QUEST I MADE FOR YOU SO YOU CAN LEARN DO IT OR STAY WHERE YOU ARE PUP".

Quite frankly shocked by the fact of how much the operator already hates me I sat there the entire time after listening to The only other source of conversation/company that I can consider nonhostile yell at me for just studying one objects for too long and not worrying about my surroundings or taking them in Much I just replied with "ok". Then a screen appeared before me with quest at the top and the option accept or decline at the bottom as well as the following in between the two " Quest one [designed by operator not the system] you obviously don't know where you're going or anything about you or around you so I'm gonna tell you where to go north east about 300 miles that way is the only city who will not attack you in your current state you have a week to get there extensive human migration has been going on as well as Demi humans in hopes to establish new kingdoms or cities for their people as the oppressing forces in the local realm have finally been overthrown with this many with different intentions have set out, been cast out, or simply have nothing to return to Are roaming the land more frequently now than ever move, run, sprint get out of this land now or you may face the dire consequences that come along with it of course you can learn to survive but for someone who doesn't even know about close to attempt to go against steel armor, magic, and crossbows is asking for a death wish follow my lead and don't die

~~~~~~Accept~~~or~~~Decline~~~~~~~~~

~~~~~~[ACCEPTED]~~~~~~[XXXXXXX]~~~~~

Again the voice spoke to me thins time it seemed not so direct but as if behind almost "Good you're not completely dumb thank you I promise you I won't let you die on me buddy" with that he chimed out in fact I don't think I heard from him for a bit after that during my travels I was so focused on surviving and moving I never checked tell I heard him again it surprised me but made me happy anyway with this it made me happy knowing he did care for me so I trusted him and followed his orders to a Tee amazingly I didn't die but the story of how I set off on my bit of adventure is for a different time.
