Taming Beasts To Survive: I Can See The Prompts Chapter 40
Advertisement
Mcgee's message was sent out.
After a while, Sister Irene replied.
"Mcgee, can you add some more things? 100 servings of sweet potatoes are too little."
"Little?" Mcgee frowned and asked, "How many people are gathered there?"
One must know those sweet potatoes were very filling. Almost one sweet potato could feed an emperor for half a day.
100 sweet potatoes were enough to keep Sister Irene's utopia in check for more than ten days.
How could it not be enough?
Sister Irene hesitated for a moment before sending a message. "There are more than 60 people in total."
"What?" Mcgee was stunned.
The corner of his mouth could not help but twitch.
This woman, was there something wrong with her?
In such a dangerous beast-taming world, so many people had gathered.
That was just suicide!
And with so many people, how could they lack food?
They could have seven or eight people to form a hunting team and the same amount of people forming a team of farmers. Unless all of them were paralyzed or handicapped, the efficiency of gathering resources would be insane.
How could they be reduced to beggars!
This was something that Mcgee had never thought of.
"I'm very sorry, Mcgee! Most of them are very confused now. The wild beasts outside are very fierce. In order to come here, many people have already died. I don't want them to continue taking risks. I've decided to wait for God's instructions!" Sister Irene said.
"God's instructions?" Mcgee's mouth twitched, and he exclaimed in his heart, "Good guy he is, huh!"
He thought Sister Irene was just a kind-hearted rescue.
Sigh.
He did not expect her to start building a church in this world.
Surprise, right?
Happy?
Bullsh*t, right?
Thinking of this, Mcgee could not help but shake his head. He was completely disappointed with Sister Irene.

Kindness was not scary. What was scary was stupid kindness!
Mcgee sent a message.
"150 sweet potatoes and 150 water. This is my bottom line. No more negotiations," Mcgee said directly.
He did not want to have anything to do with Sister Irene.
What a joke. Even Wall Street did not dare to take such risks.
Let alone Mcgee!
Sister Irene also felt Mcgee's anger, so she could only accept it silently.
Then, she seemed to have thought of something, so she replied again.
"Mcgee, I have an idea. I don't know if I can tell you."
"Idea?" Mcgee was stunned. What kind of a good idea could she come up with? She must have taken a fancy to my resources and wanted me to join the utopia.
Are you kidding me?
Mcgee rejected decisively. "No."
Sister Irene's expression was ugly, but she still said, "Mcgee, don't reject me yet. Let me finish."
"My idea is, can you join the utopia and be our leader? Lead us to build a better utopia and take in more lost believers."
Hearing Sister Irene's words, Mcgee was stunned.
He exclaimed in his heart, "Good god, this is not asking me to join. This is asking me to fly with them."
What kind of person do you think you are?
Cow?
Providing free food for your utopia?
Give me a break!
So Mcgee directly refused without thinking.
Sister Irene did not expect Mcgee's refusal at all.
After all, there were more than 60 people here.
Such a huge force. Once Mcgee became their leader, he would definitely become the most powerful existence here.
Then, she would gather more lost people and spread the faith in God here.
How could Mcgee not be tempted by such huge merit?
Mcgee's rejection disrupted Sister Irene's beautiful plan.

So she had to speak again. "Mcgee, you don't know how high your reputation is here. Everyone expects you to be their leader and lead them to build a utopia. Once you accept, they will cooperate with you wholeheartedly. You don't have to worry at all."
Looking at Sister Irene's words, Mcgee's eyes narrowed.
Power!
This was a great idea.
In such a dangerous environment, having such power could definitely speed up his development.
But, Mcgee was not at ease!
On one hand, it was Sister Irene's idea. This utopian idea made Mcgee very worried. If Mcgee solved their survival crisis, his power would be easily overthrown by this group of people.
On the other hand, it was an unpredictable danger.
That's right. Mcgee still remembered the system's notification that the safe zone had ended. A monster would spawn around everyone's wooden house.
If the system's description was correct, then according to Mcgee's guess...
The system would increase the survival difficulty of all the Beast Masters at any time.
And with so many people gathered in the utopia, what kind of terrible disaster would happen then?
Thinking of this, Mcgee could not help but feel his scalp go numb.
One had to know that the novice crisis at that time was a level five Berserk Dog.
This level five Berserk Dog had caused many Beast Masters in this world to die!
If the system raised the difficulty again next time, how strong would the monsters be?
Mcgee did not dare to imagine such a catastrophy.
But he knew that as time passed, the monsters provided by the system would become more and more terrifying.
At that time, the base would have too many people, and the disaster would only become more and more difficult to resist!
And if they failed to resist, what awaited them would be a naked massacre!

Re: Pokemon Red
A young man is walking on his usual route from school back home while playing Pokemon Go when the driver of a truck loses control and run into the young man ending his life. But the young man awakens and finds he has been reincarnated, and as his favorite games protagonist Red. With the help of his vast knowledge of pokemon and a reincarnation system will he become a pokemon master or will he aim higher? The story will follow close to the games stories (as best as i remember some of them) however there will be some slight to severe alterations as the pokemon world lacks a bit of common sence that would apply to anyworld. As the story goes on regions will change and new pokemon exclusive to those regions will appear like the game. ------------- Hey everyone this is my first novel and a random idea that came to me while i was reading a reincarnation novel here on RR and i was playing a pokemon game on the side and it kinda came to me. l will have polls occasionally to see how people want things to go down or what possible direction to go. Now a couple warnings the first being grammer. I'm not the best at gramer so if bad grammer triggers you in some way its best to just not bother. Second warning and most important is that this is a more mature take on pokemon. Seriously if you grew up with pokemon like me you probably would like some mature pokemon story. So there will be profanity here in there. Not going to see people cursing up a storm except maybe one of the teams. Especialy team skull they got the whole sterotype going. Gore.... honostly not sure if im going to have detailed pokemon death or just have the normal fainting and any death will be in the background or be hinted at. There will be sexual content but im going to have those in side chapters so people who don't care for them can just skip them.

The Trespasser
Synopsis Following his di—instincts, David finds himself in a weird situation; the next thing he knows, he's in a different world, dying, and manhandled by a big-ass alien. When the Source comes to his aid, granting him the access that—like every other sapient—he's due, David barely manages to get out of the fight with his life intact, but is that enough? Of course it isn't. The very Source giving him powers is also poisoning him to death. Oh, there she is, the petite female alien. Will that be enough to save him? Of course it won't. If he wants to be saved, he has first to save himself. The only way to do so is by getting to know the world around him, but even before that... Why the bloody hell did I have to be called Deviant!? *** Blurb? Blurb. The Trespasser starts slowly, I believe I've written a decent world, and I want you to find out what it's all about, won't just throw it in your face because of *levels*. I do not like stories that don't make sense. David is not a murderhobo, he respects life and answers to the world and the weird situations thrown at him with irony and sarcasm; so you are looking for easy killing streaks, you will not find them here. So, a man finds himself into the wild? It's a different world, and yet he can breathe its air? Finds himself in a lucky-low-level zone? Oh, look at that, people speak English—how likely is that? So, nope, not for me, gentleman. You won't find anything of the likes here. Again, a man finds himself in a new world but only thinks about the system? Yeah, that's not exactly how it works. David will try to find out what it's really all about, what the aliens want, how they work, why is that Fay really helping him? You can kill somebody to get levels, and yet there is not even a form of police? Not gonna happen here. Man becomes suddenly overpowered in a world where people can live for thousands of years by having enough luck to face only lower-level people? Hahaha—nope. Lastly...Spaceships and fantasy with LitRPG... say what!? Well, what's wrong with that? Let's make it happen, shall we? *** You want even more info? Really? Alright... David will start from the very bottom of the food chain, so there will be a settling arc—it's inevitable. David will find true companions, with personalities and backstories, and they will have a life of their own. There will be enemies, and those enemies will have a life of their own, too; there will be no evil just because. The world-building will have true depth; it will not exist just because the protagonist visits it. There will be both Fantasy and (Soft) Sci-fi—yeah, you heard that right. There will be rationality to every action taken, as long as the characters are aware of what is going on. There will be a godly system. You will come to read because of the world-building, but you will stay for the characters. The dead stay dead, and you will weep for them. There will be no action without a reaction. Lastly, there will be laughs. Are you still up for it? Then get in but fasten your seatbelts because it's going to be a wild ride. *** Release Days: Twice a week Release Time: ~09:00 PM UTC Words per chapter: ~3000 This web novel is also available on other platforms.
