I Just Want to Farm, But My Beasts Keep Evolving!!

Chapter 201: To Sign or Not To Sign?

{Welcome To Limitless Evolution System 3.0, Host!!}

"Finally!! You are finally back!!" Raiden almost cried tears of joy seeing that familiar interference appear in front of him again.

{It seems that host missed me a lot, but let me warn you: I am only interested in zero and one binary life, not you.}

Raiden burst into laughter after hearing that familiar tone of voice.

"Yep, it’s you, the bastard, all right. Welcome back, System. I missed you dearly. Now, quick, get back to work." Raiden quickly started urging as he put his hand on the crimson egg. He couldn’t wait any longer.

{... And here I was, feeling touched that you missed me. But no, you actually missed my abilities and my usefulness, not me. I feel hurt.}

Raiden fell speechless when he read this. What feelings? Since when did the system start to feel?? Was it his imagination, or did the system somehow become even more chatty than before??

"Enough bullshit!! I don’t have time for you right now. Hurry up and read information about this egg, or I swear we will have a feud of a lifetime, system."

Hearing Raiden’s threat, the system fell silent for a second before another screen appeared in front of Raiden.

{Ding!! Detected Extremely Strong Newborn Egg}

{Name: ????}

{Potential: Off The Charts, Unmeasurable}

{Element: Blood}

Looking at the information in front of him, Raiden felt ecstatic, but confused at the same time.

Looking at the element, he was completely sure this was related to Aunt Ruby, but what was this potential???

"What does Off The Charts even mean, system?? Is there something even you can’t read?? Aren’t you a new and upgraded system 3.0??" Raiden asked in confusion.

{The system isn’t omnipotent and omnipresent. It can only give you information that it’s able to read, and the potential of this egg is just absurd.}

"Absurd??"

{Yes, absurd. I have never seen an egg or even heard of potential above EX Tier, but it seems like whatever beast that is hiding inside this egg has it. You just hit a jackpot, host.}\

Raiden felt astonished in his heart when he heard that, but he didn’t forget his objective.

"I don’t care about that. Just tell me if this egg is Aunt Ruby."

{Ding!! Identifying... Unable to Answer.}

"Don’t fuck with me right now, system. I’m serious. You are telling me you can’t determine if it’s her?"

{Yes. While I can determine it is somehow related to her, I’m not sure if it’s her.}

Raiden’s eyes flashed with an unknown glint as he heard its words.

{But one thing I can tell you for sure is that this egg is a complete newborn. It’s not contracted to anyone, unlike your Aunt Ruby. She was still a contracted Terra Beast. Hence, unable to determine if it’s her or something else.}

Raiden fell silent as he heard its words. This egg might be her or something else entirely; he had no idea what to do next.

As if sensing Raiden’s dilemma, the system spoke up once again.

{Recommended action for the host: Contact this Terra Beast immediately for your third partner.}

"Huh?? What are you even talking about?? Don’t be absurd! This is Aunt Ruby!! There is no way I can contact her." Raiden answered out of reflex.

{Correction, it may be somehow related to her, but it is not her. You won’t see another Terra Beast with such high potential ever again. The system urges you to make contact with it immediately.}

Raiden fell into silence once again, not knowing what to think next.

"Are you sure you can’t find any other information about this egg? Is it really my Aunt or..." Raiden fell into confusion as his voice trailed off.

{The system can not confirm if it’s Aunt Ruby or not. What we can confirm is that it is a brand new soul that hasn’t been born yet. Aunt Ruby was bound by contract with someone else. This is a blank soul with no contract binding it. It also carries some of the bloodline of The Divine Blood Empress. The system will be able to make a more accurate judgement once you sign the contract.}

Raiden did not say anything else as he fell into thought.

Should he sign a contract with it or not? After all, it is a brand new Terra Beast. But there was also a chance it was his Aunt Ruby. And if it was his Aunt Ruby, what was he supposed to do next?? Could he really sign a contract with her? Would she not beat his ass up for doing so??

Also, this Terra Beast had no connection to his mother anymore. As far as Raiden knew, there was no way to sever a contract or bond between a human and a Terra Beast. They were born together with life. Once a Terra Beast contacted someone, they would follow that person even after that person dies.

So why did the contact between his Aunt Ruby and his mother disappear? Did something happen to his mother?? Also, if he didn’t sign a contract with her, could she still get out of the egg??

The deeper Raiden fell into thought, the more frustrated he felt as he started to develop a headache.

"Ugh!! Damn it! Why is this so hard??" He scratched his head in frustration.

Bang!!

"Woolie!!" What are you doing, human? You haven’t trained all day. Come out and play with me. Otherwise, this Emperor will leave you behind. Hmph. ( •̀ ω •́ ) y

"Sha Sha!!" Come out, Rai Rai. We need to train and get even stronger. (૭ ｡•̀ ᵕ •́｡ )૭

Raiden’s eyes lit up as he looked at the two battle junkies who entered the room.

"You guys came at a perfect time. Help me decide. Should I sign the contract with it or not??" Raiden pointed at the crimson egg sitting in front of him, causing a solemn expression to appear on their faces.

Their instinct was very, very good, especially Woolie’s, who almost had a divine instinct. He was the one who chose Neva in the first place. And she turned out to be the most special of them all. Even though it didn’t align with his values of non-violence, she was part of the family now.

So he wanted the advice on how to proceed.

"Woolie Woo!!" What’s there to think about? It’s big sister, the sign the contract.

"Sha Sha!!" Yes, Big Sister saved us!! We should help her as well! Sign the contract, then we all will be one big family!!

Seeing both of them nod without any hesitation, Raiden put down the huge rock as he made the decision in his heart.
