《The Big Bang System》Achievement Get!
Advertisement
Angela reads the pop up and gets visibly excited at the final few words, "achievement: my first creation, reward: +0.1 anima/h". Putting aside the new tab for now Angela quickly opens up the general tab to double check her reward.
Name: Angela Snow
...
Anima: 9.1/100 (+0.2/h)
Creation value: 1.1
Along with the increase in anima rate Angela is surprised to see that the creation value has increased, presumably from placing the dirt, though she still doesn't know the purpose of it and so pushes the questions she has about it to the back of her head.
Remembering the new tab Angela goes to close general and open it up but is interrupted half way by a grumble, coming from her own stomach, Angela blushes despite the absence of other people however her expression of embarrassment quickly changes to one of worry as she remembers that she doesn't have any food. She ponders for a moment before opening up the creation menu and switching to the life tab.
Life:
grade one blood wheat: 3 anima
grade one soul fruit: 4 anima
grade one spirit rice: 5 anima
???: locked (cultivate 20 batches of blood wheat to unlock)
???: locked (unlock conditions unknown)
Angela reads the options and frowns, with the rate at which she gains anima it would take 15 hours just to get the cheapest blood wheat, not to mention at the moment she has no way of processing it into something she recognises as food, it would seem that unless she finds some way of either gaining more anima or cultivating these crops she will have to live on as little as one fruit a day.
Choosing the soul fruit as it seems the most suitable Angela is surprised to see that rather than the placement popup she got with the dirt she instead has a window with a description of the fruit.

Grade one soul fruit:
One of the basic fruits grown in many Xianxia worlds, the soul fruit satiates both hunger and thirst with a beneficial effect to mortal rank cultivation speed. Despite its many benefits, the taste of this fruit leaves much to be desired and has even been dubbed "mud ball" by many cultivators.
A soul fruit tree will yield one soul fruit per week at a consistent rate.
To grow a soul fruit tree the seed must be planted in a 20/80 sand dirt mixture with the pointed tip facing downwards, it must then be watered 3 times a day with 1L each time until the tree reaches the hight of 3m at which point it will begin absorbing the heaven and earth qi to sustain itself.

8 190Moonshot
Gregarious businessman Evin Tumble is fascinated by the sudden and inexplicable appearance of a low-orbiting moon. Specifically, he's interested in shooting it down with a giant cannon. The moon is only about eight miles overhead, but it's high enough and quick enough that nobody can reach it by balloon or airship. He hires our protagonists: taciturn Iseult Morrin, cheerful Sean Whelan, and nervous Íde Ceallaigh, to help him with his obsession. As our heroes are dispersed across the continent to perform tasks for Tumble, and the moon-hunt draws closer, they become increasingly suspicious of their benefactor's motives and true nature. Moonshot is a story centred around struggling with confidence, the difficulty of being an immigrant, and the duality of truth, all clad in the trappings of an urban fantasy. It is character-driven, from the heart, and based on tropes and ideas that are missing from a lot of contemporary fantasy (a push beyond the flawless-yet-somehow-still-needs-rescuing-by-an-oafish-man heroine trope, a touch of cosmic magic based on the shared geometries of Celtic and Arab art).

I just wanted to say thanks for taking the time to read my work. Everything posted here is mostly the first draft for a book that I am work on. When complete it will have between 30-40 chapters & roughly 70k words. I'm very new to writing so hopefully over time you will see an improvement. This is also a side hobby so new chapters may be slow I"m sorry. Work and my family take priority. Thanks again for your time and please leave feedback as that helps me improve my writing.
