Taming Beasts To Survive: I Can See The Prompts Chapter 12
Advertisement
Mcgee opened the community. At this time, in addition to apples, some of the listings were meat products.
But almost all of the trading items were fish and even dead fish meat!
Fresh fish x 1
Price: Wood x 5, or Stone x 5.
Stranded dead fish x 1
Price: Wood x 2, or Stone x 2.
But Mcgee had no shortage of food, so he was not very interested in these things.
Looking at other things in the community, they were all a mess and not very useful.
Because of the uncertainties now, Mcgee was looking for a crop that had a high survival rate, was easy to manage, and had a short growth cycle, and the yield had to be as high as possible.
At this moment, Mcgee finally saw a seed.
Wild rice seed × 1
[Poor quality rice seeds that have not been selected and bred. The yield is not high. Planting requires water near the farm.]
After Mcgee finished reading the detailed information on the rice, he shook his head helplessly.
There would not be enough yield of wild rice if he bought this, and harvesting it would be troublesome. Moreover, Mcgee could not waste a lot of time shelling the rice to make it edible.
Mcgee was a little disappointed and turned a few pages. At this time, Mcgee suddenly found that someone was selling sweet potato vines!
Sweet potato vines x 100
Price: Meat x 5, or Wood x 25.
Description: I found this thing in the wild grass. Pay attention! This thing cannot be eaten! The sweet potatoes can be eaten, but the leaves will give you diarrhea and nausea! Once sold, they are not refundable!
After Mcgee saw it, he immediately traded it for five portions of mutton and bought the vines of these sweet potatoes.
"System Notification: Successfully purchased sweet potato vines x 100, deducted mutton x 5."
After Mcgee saw that he had successfully bought them, his confidence in the following grain cultivation increased greatly.

"This person suffered a loss without common sense!"
Mcgee sighed.
Most of the sweet potatoes were not grown with their roots.
That was because the price was too high.
Most of the sweet potatoes were grown with their vines.
Moreover, sweet potatoes were expensive in large quantities.
Apart from being used as seeds, the vines could also be used to feed livestock.
Mcgee could not wait to take out the sweet potato vines from his inventory to examine them carefully.
Then he divided the sweet potato vines into small segments.
After about half an hour, Mcgee finished sorting them all.
Next was planting.
The planting of sweet potatoes was very simple, as long as one end of the vines was stuffed into the soil.
The sweet potato vines were very tenacious. As long as it was not a continuous drought, it could basically survive.
The soil of the newly-opened farmland was very soft.
Mcgee found a stick and gently inserted it into the soil, making a small hole.
Then, he stuffed the sweet potato vines into the soil and compacted the soil, and it was considered a success.
Although the work was straightforward.
But it had to be done with a bent back. So when Mcgee planted all the sweet potatoes on the 20 square meters of land, Mcgee's back was basically no longer straight.
Looking at some of the unused sweet potato leaves, Mcgee thought it would be good to have livestock not to be wasted.
Speaking of which, Mcgee suddenly remembered that he seemed to have seen a lucky person selling piglets just now!
Mcgee opened the community and looked up. Sure enough, he saw someone selling a litter of piglets.
Charging piglets x 10.
Price: Any meat x 50.
Description: I stole these piglets one by one when the charging pigs were not paying attention. No bargaining!
They could eat grass, but they were very restless and had a little bit of attack power. Killing them now would not yield any meat!

To not attract the charging piglets' mother, I have been keeping them in my thatched house for the past few days. As a result, my home has become a pigsty. It stinks terribly, and it snores at night!
After reading the introduction, Mcgee still did not waver in his decision to buy them.
Hence, he quickly placed an order and bought them.
"System Notification: You have successfully purchased charging piglet x 10. Deducting meat x 50."
After Mcgee's purchase, there were only about 300 pieces of meat left in the inventory.
While he was lost in thought, he suddenly heard a series of howls from his wooden house.
Mcgee quickly ran back to the wooden house to take a look.
Inside the wooden house, ten gray piglets were rampaging inside. The entire wooden house was in a mess.
Mcgee had a helpless look on his face. He had forgotten that living things could not be stored in the inventory.
"It seems that I can only continue to solve the problem of the pigsty now."
However, Mcgee did not have the blueprints for the pigsty.
However, after looking at the stones and wood in the inventory, Mcgee suddenly had an idea.
He saw Mcgee come to the other side of the wooden house. There were few trees here, and his field of vision was relatively wide.
After walking around, Mcgee chose three trees that were close to each other and then began to work.
Mcgee took out three pieces of wood and placed them in the middle of the tree trunks.
Then he found some vines in the bushes and tied the wood between the trunks.
Such a simple triangular pigsty was formed.
Mcgee took out some stone and built a stone wall along with the wood to make the pigsty stronger.
After working for half a day, Mcgee looked at his masterpiece and said with satisfaction, "It looks pretty good!"
After saying that, Mcgee ran back to the wooden house.
He carried the piglets into the pigsty one by one.
The ear-piercing sound of pigs being slaughtered rose and fell.
At this time, it was already evening.
On the mountain in the west, the red sun was slowly falling.
Mcgee leaned against the pigsty and looked at the piglets inside. He looked satisfied as he munched on the sweet potato leaves.
In the distant farmland, the newly planted sweet potatoes were swaying gently in the evening wind.
Mcgee was already fantasizing about his leisurely life in the future.
The sweet potato leaves and small sweet potatoes would be used as feed for the piglets in the future.
After the piglets ate the feed, their feces could be used as manure and transferred to the farmland again.
This was like a perpetual motion machine!
When he came back to his senses, Mcgee waved to the little Spirit Fox playing with the butterflies in the distance.
The little Spirit Fox immediately ran over with a skip.
Mcgee looked at the little Spirit Fox's condition and said to it, "Go there and release your skill, the power of nature!"
After the little Spirit Fox heard this, it immediately ran all the way to the edge of the farm.
Then, its emerald green tail began to sway gently.
A gentle breeze blew past, and a drizzle immediately began to fall around the little Spirit Fox.
Because the farm was not too far away from the pigsty, Mcgee was also enveloped in it.
The drizzle that kept falling carried a sweet taste and moistened the earth.
The sweet potatoes, which had been wilted by the sun, suddenly became tall and full of energy.
Some of the sweet potato vines even sprouted new shoots.
The little piglets did not howl. Instead, they gathered together and lay on the ground quietly as if they had fallen asleep.
This was a peace that belonged only to Mcgee.
So far, only Mcgee had begun this completely self-sufficient life.

Chronicles of Xod (returning from hiatus)
After a long recovery over a chronic motion sickness issue, I feel I'm ready to return to writing this book. It might be slow at first, but I'm hoping to pick up where I left off. I apologize again for the long hiatus. The pages following are a true account. An account of how I, Josh--a teenage nerd from modern suburbia--ended up in a strange world filled with fantastic magic, bizarre creatures, and terrifying dungeons. Despite the troped-up fantasy feel of the world, this is hardly an ordinary tale. For one, don’t expect a happy ending. With the trials I’ve been through, the horrors I’ve seen and the atrocities I’ve committed, believe me when I tell you, this is not a happy tale filled with friendly rainbow bears or teenage flying unicorns. It’s more likely you’ll finish this book mentally scarred as I will not spare the details of my unfortunate adventures. With the help of my trusted companion Gui, I gain an insight that no one else in the world has. This knowledge allows me to exploit and, for lack of a better term, metagame the system which gave me a clear advantage over its residents. “With great power...,” someone might begin to quote to me. In my defense, I think maybe even you, reader, might have acted similarly with how this reality changed my view of good and evil. This story will be updated regularly on Wednesdays around 6 PM. There will only be about 1000 words per update. The focus is to finish the story before doing any major changes or editing. Please read as if this is a work in progress, not a finished product. Feel free to let me know if you see any error, whether glaring or minor. If you help me out, I'll be sure to add you to a thank you list at the front of the book when it is published. Chronicles of Xod is a first-person fantasy novel that follows the adventures of a young man from Earth. Through unknown circumstances, he finds himself in a fantasy world where life is not all wonders and happy endings. The story takes common fantasy concepts from my favorite video games, books and movies and gives them an adult edge. It also introduces some taboo concepts often glossed over by stories written for broad audiences. The style is meant to be immersive and heavily detailed. The short novel will be written in a way that attempts to bring a sense of realism to an unrealistic genre. Where there are realistic consequences and dangers in a world populated with violent monsters, cruel demons, bloodthirsty undead, and immoral bandits. In this fantasy world, the inhabitants are essentially gender blind as far as sexuality is concerned. There is also more variation amongst male and female physiology. This isn't meant to be any kind of promotion or demotion of social behavior in reality. Just a concept I thought would be an interesting idea to have in a fantasy setting. I highly discourage anyone from reading this material if you are personally concerned with being offended or traumatized. Both violent and sexual content will be graphically detailed. All characters involved in sexual scenes are mature and of the age of consent(18+).
