[Please choose one of the following three maximum-limit rewards:][500 Silver Coins. Knowledge Book (Modern Farming Techniques). Special Medical Equipment Set.]Bast smirked. He could easily find money by plundering herbal plants in the forest, and he harbored absolutely zero intention of spending the rest of his life hoeing the dirt."Option number three!" Bast commanded firmly.The blue screen flickered. Out of thin air, a small silver metal chest, followed by a pitch-black leather bag, dropped onto the grass with a muffled thud.Bast's eyes rounded perfectly. He knew the system could conjure magical miracles, but seeing the actual physical form of that leather bag... Bast's breath caught in his throat.That was his personal medical bag! The worn-out bag that always faithfully accompanied him during the dozen years he ran his practice in his past life!And the silver chest next to it was the portable emergency kit he frequently brought into humanitarian volunteer fields.With slight

"You just realized your incredibly deep feelings for me on the exact same day I brought home premium wheat and smoked meat?" Bast smirked cynically."What do you mean?" Erian denied the implied accusation."Get out of my house, Erian." Bast pointed directly at the door. "I'll never give a chance to a woman who repeatedly humiliated me."Erian's face flushed bright red from anger and humiliation. "You ungrateful pig! You'll regret this! I'll report you to Elder Orek for breaking our marriage promise!""Be my guest," Bast replied casually, waving his hand to shoo her away. He possessed zero intention of arguing any longer, and his ears felt far too exhausted listening to the woman's shrill voice."You just wait!" Erian threaten

Baki's punch flew through the empty air, completely lacking technique and driven purely by the liquid courage of cheap alcohol.Dodging that sluggish attack felt as easy as blinking. Bast merely tilted his head. His current body's agility and strength still fell short of what he had in his past life, but he didn't need to be a great fighter to defeat a scrawny drunk.Using the momentum against him, Bast snatched Baki's arm, stepped inside his guard, and casually tossed the skinny young man until he face-planted on the edge of the dirt road.Baki hit the dusty ground, then rolled over while spewing a string of filthy curses."What's wrong with you?!" Baki yelled, clutching his aching shoulder. "Why did you turn into such a jerk?! Are we not friends anymore?!""I'm done living that useless, parasitic life," Bast answered coldly, looking down at his former drinking buddy. "I want to be a normal human who works and supports his own life."Baki erupted in a loud, mocking laugh, staring at

Golden text glowed brightly on the screen.[Target Detected: Bristled Boar (Mid-Tier Combat Beast)] [Characteristics: Aggressive, High Defense, Armored Porcupine Mutation, Slow when attacking][Taming Cost: 285 Reputation Points] [Does the Host wish to tame it?]Bast's mouth nearly dropped open. Two hundred and eighty-five points?!The feeling of extreme wealth he had harbored from pocketing nearly 300 points instantly evaporated without a trace.If this mid-tier monster alone cost almost three hundred points, he didn't even dare imagine the price of an apex predator like the direbear he saw on his very first day. This world truly possessed no mercy."Not a good fit." Bast refused to tame that mutant boar because it simply didn't suit the role of a bodyguard. Its form looked massive and intimidating, but the text explicitly stated the creature moved slowly when attacking.Bast refused to waste points on a creature that offered little use for self-defense.[Are you certain? The comma

Upon reaching the top of the cliff, Bast immediately took off his sack and checked his belongings. His hunting haul remained safe. The sack's tying rope held up incredibly well despite his tumbling fall. Even the two live rabbits he caught still breathed, though they looked limp from the dizzying spins. Bast strongly hoped those two animals could survive until he reached home.Bast whistled softly. The Forest Wasp instantly descended from the tree canopy and landed on his shoulder. The Root Weasel circled his legs."Is there any danger around?" Bast asked. The wasp hummed low, and the weasel showed no exaggerated reaction. That meant the area stayed safe.Bast whistled again—this time loudly enough.A moment later, the sound of snapping branches and loud snorting approached. The Bristled Boar emerged from behind the bushes, grunting happily upon seeing its master."You idiot," Bast hissed, gesturing for the giant beast to stop. "Move quieter. Do you want to attract another predator h
