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

Chapter 202: Insulting System

After getting a confirmation and a nod of approval from both of them, Raiden made up his mind.

"Alright...here goes nothing." Raiden took a deep breath and lifted his hand up, holding a knife in the other, ready to initiate the ceremony.

Bang!!

"Big brother, you still haven’t arrived downstairs..." Sylvia’s voice trailed off as she looked at him standing there with a knife in his hand.

"NOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!" Faster than he could blink, Sylvia jumped on top of Raiden, holding him while bawling her eyes out.

"Y-you meanie!!! Y-you said that y-you will stay with me and protect me forever!!! W-why are you trying to k-kill yourself!!! I won’t let you!!!" Sylvia cried even more fiercely, holding on to his hands for dear life.

Hearing her words, Raiden didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. How does this always happen to him??

After consoling Sylvia and taking a lot of time to explain and reassure her, he was finally able to get her to stop crying.

But it was clear this event left a shadow on Sylvia’s heart, a deep shadow, and now she refused to let go of him.

Perhaps this didn’t begin just now, but long, long ago. Ruby’s death must have affected her a lot too, but he didn’t pay attention to her.

He was too busy grieving on his own. He kind of failed as a big brother.

"I’m really sorry, Sylvia. Don’t worry. I will take care of myself and will absolutely not leave you alone. I am not going anywhere." Raiden patted her head with his free hand, causing her to sniff and bury her head in his torso.

After a few minutes, she let go of him and sat in front of Raiden.

"So if you are not trying to kill yourself, what were you doing??" She asked in a guarded yet curious voice.

"Me? Oh, I was just getting ready to make new contact with...this." Raiden’s voice took a complex note when he said it.

"Aunt Ruby??! You are going to make contact with Aunt Ruby????" Sylvia looked at him like he was mad.

He had been the one who told her that Ruby turned into an egg. Now he was saying he wanted to make contact with her??

"Are you mad or what?? Aunt Ruby is Mother’s Terra Beast. You can’t make contact with her!!" Sylvia spoke in a flabbergasted tone, giving him a weird side-eye.

"It’s complicated. Don’t worry too much about it. Just know that I am going to make contact with Aunt Ruby, and she will be out soon." Raiden didn’t waste any time explaining too much to her. He didn’t know about it himself. So, what else could he say??

"Alright, alright, if Aunt Ruby, I am going to sit here and watch." Sylvia sat on the bed, curiously staring at him, with Neva and Woolie waiting on the side.

Raiden looked at the three gluttons, all staring at him like he was some monkey in a zoo. Shaking his head, he went back to doing the ceremony.

He once again brought his hand on top of the egg, circulating the meditation technique mantra inside his body, as he made a large cut.

Blood started to freely drip from his hand as the egg started to absorb it but showed no other reaction.

Seeing this, Raiden frowned.

’Hey system, what is happening?? Where is the contract? I did everything correctly, no??’

{You did everything correctly, host, but it’s not enough.}

Raiden: ???

{The one inside the egg has command and dominion over the blood itself. Plus, her life force and power are way too large for your teeny tiny mortal body. Simply put, you are way too weak to even think of creating a contract with her.}

’What kind of bullshit is this? I don’t accept it!! Weren’t you the one who told me to make contact with her as soon as possible? Now you are telling me I can’t do it because I am way too weak??’ Raiden cursed the damn system in his mind.

{You can still make contact with her, host.}

Hearing this, Raiden got even more mad.

’If I can still make contact with her, why did you tell me I can’t just now? Are you playing with me, or do you simply just want to insult me? What is this S&M play??’

{Have some patience, host. It’s not easy to make contact with something so out of your league. I will guide you through it.}

’Couldn’t you have just done it from the start??’ Raiden grumbled in his mind.

Meanwhile, Sylvia just sat there and watched Raiden’s daydreams, getting more and more worried about his mental health. It had been a few minutes already, and he had just been sitting there blankly. Did she need to book a therapy session for him?? Or call the mental hospital??

She started imagining her brother serving life imprisonment, locked behind prison bars in a mental asylum.

{It’s not very hard to make a contract with her, just a little complicated. You just need to make use of your blood, and a lot of blood, and let it drink its fill. The more blood you provide to the egg, the higher your chance of getting approval from it, so go!! Be Brave!!! Make a bigger cut on your hand!!}

Hearing the system’s words, Raiden cursed a few more times in his mind before making a larger, deeper cut with the specialised knife he’d got on the battlefield, scaring Sylvia.

There was a fascination as the blood kept flowing through his hand onto the egg as it kept absorbing it, becoming more and more shiny.

But even after ten minutes, when the wound started to scab and the blood stopped flowing, the little glutton egg didn’t have enough.

Making a decision in his mind, Raiden cut his wrist instead, letting blood flow like a waterfall.

"Brother, what are you doing?!!"

"Sshhhh. Just watch."

The egg started to drink all the blood greedily.

After a few minutes, just as Raiden started to feel anaemic, it stopped, before a red glow enveloped the entire room.
