Primitive Man

Chapter 2: System Eva

[If you are going to do what I ask, first we should learn some basic things that will help you, so listen carefully, boy]

Eva said showing her superiority in this symbiotic relationship between a cave boy and her unknown voice that doesn't explain her existence.

[First of all, I need you to learn about the things that I can give you that will help you to recover your mother's health, as well as your future]

Garnt kept nodding his head like an obedient boy while waiting for the female voice in his head to fully explain things showing patience that most of the Stone Age men lacked.

[After considering all the limitations and laws that I cannot break, I can give you one thing called the system that will help you to obtain several things that will help you, but to obtain those things you will have to collect points which will act as the currency]

Garnt didn't understand most of the things she said, but he kept nodding his head showing he could do whatever she wanted.

[Look at this]

As soon as Eva said those words, a light blue window appeared in front of Garnt which scared him for a moment, but Eva quickly asked him to calm down as she started to explain things clearly.

[As you can see you have a lot of options that I want you to unlock in future and most of them will be useful for you, but to buy these you need points, and to collect points you need to hunt the animals. The more you kill, the more points you get, so let's start with those ants]

Hearing her words, Garnt looked around the area to see a line of ants diligently trailing back to their nest. Without a second thought, he lunged forward, his foot descending upon the line of ants with a crushing force and started to kill a lot of them until he suddenly felt his body going numb.

"What is this pain? Ughhhh~ my chest hurts," Garnt shouted as he kneeled while holding his chest and Eva sounded like she was having a reality check as she realized killing animals indiscriminately wouldn't get them many points.

[Kid, are you okay? Get up, don't die]

Eva shouted in desperation and Garnt quickly calmed down, as the chest pain subsided.

"What happened just now? I felt like my chest was about to be blown up,"

[It's my mistake, I didn't properly guide you so listen, you can't just go around killing as much as you want since it will disturb the natural process of the environment, so you can only kill a few until you feel a slight pain in your chest, just now you experienced a huge pressure because of that]

"Did I get those points we were talking about? I don't care even if I die if I can help my mother," Garnt answered her in an exhausted voice since he was hungry and thirsty.

[...]

[You are an idiot, I told you I'm helping you because I want you to be alive, don't go talking about dying because that's the last thing I want to happen]

Eva knew dealing with this kid would be hard, but she liked how selfless he was and knew that he could be a proper host to her.

[We got a total of 2000 points since you killed 40 ants in total, but as a penalty, we only have 500 points now, so we will have to choose carefully and work properly in future to see better results]

"What do we do next? Since we have the points we need?" Garnt wanted to quickly go back to his mother, so he questioned in a hurry without even caring about his own pain.

[Use your 500 points to acquire a fire and water filter. We will subsequently commence construction based on the blueprint. I'm unable to provide these items for free, as it could lead to system malfunctions. While you might not comprehend the reason for now, you will eventually grasp it.

For the time being, kindly obey my instructions.]
