Starter Pack

[The Snow Rabbit is filled with gratitude towards you. Affection has increased by 15.]

Lin Fan was surprised to see this popup, but he was also relieved.

He was worried that the Snow Rabbit would attack him if he were to help it, but at least it seemed like his goodwill had been appreciated.

Once the Snow Rabbit's wounds had been bound up, Lin Fan washed his hands and wiped off the sweat on his brow as he let out a sigh of relief.

For now, it seemed like the Snow Rabbit's condition was stable, but that didn't mean that everything had been taken care of just yet.

The Snow Rabbit was still weak and couldn't move, not to mention that the pool of blood around it would certainly attract unwanted attention.

The Snow Rabbit was just lucky that Lin Fan found it first. If it had been some other beast, they might have turned this Snow Rabbit into a small meal right away.

So the first thing that Lin Fan had to do was get out of this area and find a safe place to nurse it back to health. But that was also where the problem was.

If he left this area, he would be leaving a source of clean water which was without a doubt a crucial part of their survival. If he were to leave this river, there was no guarantee that he would be able to find another source of clean water that easily.

But if he didn't leave this river, then the problem became that he would lose the road. If he only followed the river and it diverted away from the road, then that would mean losing track of this road that was his only path to civilization.

If he had to find civilization on his own without the road, who knew how long it would take…

So he was forced into this situation where he had to choose one out of the two…

But then Lin Fan looked at both the river and the road carefully and found that they were parallel to one another. It seemed that if he went straight from where he was currently standing, he would be able to keep track of both!

Of course, doing this meant that he would have to trek through the woods, with its uneven ground and branches all around, but this was still better than the alternative of having to choose between the two options.

So Lin Fan leaned down and carefully picked up the Snow Rabbit. This time, the snow rabbit didn't glare at it, rather it looked at Lin Fan with a curious look. When it sensed that there was no hostility that came from Lin Fan, it relaxed and allowed Lin Fan to pick it up.

[The Snow Rabbit is moved by your warm touch. Affection has increased by 1.]

When he saw this popup, Lin Fan couldn't help looking down at the Snow Rabbit again to activate his Appraisal Eye.

Skipping most of the other lines, his eyes fell onto the one line that he cared about.

Affection: 6 (Curious)

Lin Fan was a bit confused as to why it was considered curious, but at least it was better than the wary status from before.

Heading through the forest, Lin Fan slowly made his way through the trees. To his surprise, there weren't that many bushes that were on the ground, so it was quite easy to trek through these woods.

After moving for around an hour, he found a clearing that had good open space for a fire and enough cover for him to make a shelter, so he decided to camp here for the night since the sun was starting to go down as well.

Since he didn't have anything, he didn't have a way to tell the time, but he knew that he didn't want to be wandering around when it got dark.

It didn't take him long to find enough sticks to build a campfire and during that time, he had been lucky enough to find some berries that seemed edible, so he didn't need to worry about food.

After taking the time to set up the camp, Lin Fan sat down to feed and water the Snow Rabbit that he had hidden inside of the makeshift shelter he had made.

The Snow Rabbit took a sniff of the berries before reaching its head up to take a bite and then taking a sip of the water Lin Fan offered it on a makeshift bark plate.

After it did, there was another popup that appeared in front of Lin Fan.

[The Snow Rabbit is moved by your kindness. Affection has increased by 15.]

Then right after that, there was another popup that appeared

[Target for taming has been detected. Does the host wish to tame the Snow Rabbit?]

Lin Fan was surprised to see this, but it also helped him to finally understand what his Love Gauge Taming skill was.

It seemed that as long as he was able to raise the affection of a target above a certain level, he would be able to tame it with his skill. But as for how high he needed to raise the affection, he wasn't certain. He only knew that based on his skill, it depended on the willpower of the other side.

This Snow Rabbit was weakened, so it shouldn't take much for Lin Fan to tame it, which was probably why he had been able to tame it with such low affection.

After all, his current affection with the Snow Rabbit was only 21.

After a moment of pause to think this through, Lin Fan said in his mind, "Tame it."

As soon as he said this, there was a layer of light that appeared around the Snow Rabbit that also disappeared as soon as it appeared.

Then after the light disappeared, there was a new line that was added to the Snow Rabbit's status.

Snow Rabbit: Grade 1 Magic Beast

Affection: 21 (Trusted)

After the light faded from the Snow Rabbit, the Snow Rabbit nuzzled into Lin Fan's chest like something had suddenly changed its opinion of Lin Fan. However, Lin Fan didn't have time to care about that since the system wasn't done giving him notifications yet.

The moment that the Snow Rabbit finished taming, there was another popup that appeared in front of Lin Fan.

[The host has successfully tamed a pet. The host will now receive a Starter Pack.]

"Congratulations host on taming the first pet (even though it's only a little rabbit)."

After the notification, the voice of the system rang out and Lin Fan's face couldn't help turning a bit dark when he heard the sarcasm in its voice.

Still, Lin Fan ignored it and asked, "System, what is this Starter Pack?"

"Host, the name is very clear on what it is. Please do not ask meaningless questions in the future."

Three black lines appeared on Lin Fan's head.

It was partly his fault for asking a dumb question, but he still was stunned that his system would answer this way. Still, it was enough to answer his question, so instead he asked, "Where do I find this Starter Pack."

"Host, please look in your inventory."

Lin Fan could almost feel the system rolling its eyes at him through these words…

He looked in the corner of his vision and found that there was indeed an inventory button there.

Focusing on that button for a bit, another screen popped up that was just like an inventory system in the game, however it was completely empty except for one item. It was the Starter Pack that he had just received.

With his eyes and his thoughts, he chose the Starter Pack before choosing to open it.

Immediately there were many more notifications that appeared.

[The Starter Pack has been opened.]

[The following items have been received: Basic Cultivation Pack, Basic Cultivation Technique, Random Card x5, Pet Storage Space.]

Following that were the various descriptions for the different items that he had just been given.

[Basic Cultivation Pack: Increases the cultivation of the user by 1 level in the Qi Gathering Realm.]

[Basic Cultivation Technique: Gives a basic cultivation technique. Limited to the Qi Gathering Realm.]

[Random Card: Will randomly trigger an effect card when needed. Cannot be triggered by the user, can only be triggered automatically when the user is in danger.]

[Pet Storage Space: Creates a space that only the host can access to store pets in. The size of the space will be 100m2 and it can be used to store anything the host wants to store inside.]

Lin Fan's eyes lit up when he finished reading through them.

It really was something special to have a system, the first three things weren't that special, but the last one was definitely something that no one else in this world would have.

It was a personal subspace that he could enter freely and store things in, things like this would always be rare in cultivation worlds like this!

So without any hesitation, Lin Fan activated all three of the items that he could activate.

The first two were simple, giving him the Spiritual Qi Gathering Technique and raising his cultivation up a level, allowing him to become a real cultivator.

The Pet Storage Space gave him a different feeling. The moment that it was activated, it was like something had been connected to him and with a single thought, he was able to open a portal in front of him.
