Plant v.s. Insects ( Failed )

" What type of bug is this? System can't I regenerate that small part? " Dazed and confused Felix kept asking.

" Ding! Host has been granted a new mission: Find out how to use your skills. The rewards are randomized. " Not wanting to help him out, the system just decided to make a mission out of nowhere.

' These guys will be the end of me! I don't remember having a mission panel so this must be new. ' Felix after accepting the fact that the two or one thing he can talk to won't help him, decided to help himself.

Opening the System Panel Felix then planned to press on the skills he had just like how he pressed the Y#? option.

" I was right it is new! " Despite being overjoyed by the fact that he can now gain missions he continued what he was planning to do.

" Ding! Does the host want to activate Innate passive skill?

Yes. No.

______________________________________________

" Of course! " Felix said in his mind with a resolved will.

" It's always active the host has nothing to worry about. " The system said.

" Oh I forgot. There was nothing saying it was a passive skill!! " Felix retorted back.

" Well now you know, idiot. " Carl with a teasing voice said.

Having enough of their tag teaming Felix just decided to keep his mind quiet for the time being and resolve matters at hand- stem.

' Of it's an innate skill then how about the others then? ' Felix thought.

"Ding! does host want it activate all passive skills- " Before the system finished, Felix interrupted it and said. " Nevermind then, it's already active right? "

" Host has found a new attribute: Intelligence... Showing attribute panel. "

Attributes :

Strength : 1 Speed : 0.02

Endurance : 2.3 Vitality : 7.1

Intelligence : 5.?

" Misty? ... " asked Felix suddenly.

Confused by his apparent calling of someone both Carl and the System asked. " Who's Misty? "

" Ah it's just a name I came up for her... I mean the system. " Felix replied while chuckling lightly.

" ... " Speechless or not the they didn't ask who she was since there were only the three of them.

" What do you say Misty? Is that name good for you? Hehe. " Felix asked Misty proudly.

" ...Opening normal system point box... Processing, process completed. The host has received 11 system points, congratulations. "

The syst- Misty suddenly opened the box that she said she didn't have the authority to.

" Hey, what about the name! " Felix almost died from shock after she opened the box but soon recovered fast enough.

" You know... Can't you read between the thoughts? She suddenly has the authority to open the box, which means giving her a name was a good thing... even if it was something like Figgy. " Carl said, feeling hopeless as to how Felix can be smart but be an idiot at the same time.

" So she likes it? " Felix asked again seemingly not able to comprehend what Carl said.

" ...^#? " Misty suddenly sounded like she was broken.

After a few more minutes of asking the same questions again and again Felix decided to drop it and see what he can do with the system points.

" Misty what can I do with those points? " Asked Felix hurriedly as he remembered he was still being nibbled to death.

" The host can buy a shop from the ,'Emptiness,' and buy some things there. "

Misty, although not obvious more or less sounded like a woman now.

' Strange, is it just me or... Nah it's just me. "

Felix dropped what he was about to think.

" So about the Emptin- " Misty interrupted before he finished and said. " Just think Empty Plane Panel. "

' Hmm neat. Empty Plane Panel! ' Felix shouted in his head. From nowhere a panel looking like a white sheet with strokes of gold appeared in front of his plant body.

Shop - 4 system points

Strange Doll - 7 system points

Fertilizer - 1 system point

______________________________________________

" I think I should just buy the Shop first and see what I can get there. " Felix contemplated for a bit and decided to go with his plan.

Pressing Shop with his consciousness again he bought it right after the panel showing the options opened.

" Ding! The shop has been bought, the host can access it through the System Panel or by thinking Shop. " Misty informed him.

" I see thanks... and Carl, why are you so quiet now huh? where was that old you? " Felix asked Carl after noticing he was a bit off.

" Huh? Oh yeah, I'm part of you so if you're too focused on something else I will be much less productive... If that's what you mean. " Carl replied after a few moments of thinking it through.

" Now let's kill that bug using the Shop! " Felix declared.

' I should just buy the Uproot one root since the leaf I dropped already dried up. ' Felix thought.

" Ding! The host has bought the Uproot one root from the Shop. Activating the one-off has been completed. " Misty replied immediately after he bought it.

Feeling his roots he found one he can control a bit. Deciding to take a look at it he brought it outside the soil and it immediately became faster than when it was in the soil.

" I should have known it was slower in the soil but... Guess I'm just an idiot then hehe. " Felix said mocking himself.

" Where's that bug! " Felix exclaimed after finding out it was gone from his sights.

" It crawled away you idiot, what else did you think it did to get away? " Carl mocked Felix again.

" Say that again will ya‽ " Felix retorted back.

" The host should take this time looking at the Shop since he might find something noteworthy. " Misty interrupted them before it can escalate further.

" ... Fine then. " He said after thinking about it.
