chapter 12 a new and improved system
After working on the salt dough I decided to get serious about preparing for the apocalypse so I decided to make a prep list.
* First water purification. I wrote down a months worth of water. I looked it up and it would be 30 gallons per person. Though we don't drink that much. Then I wrote down water purification tablets. And jugs to put water in.
* Water bottles, disposable dishes and silverware, soap, and laundry detergent. I also wanted to add some powdered milk. But that was heading into food storage territory. So I will leave that for a bit later.
* I decided to plan to get a stove that ran on fire and gas as well as an electric one and a generator. Charcoal. And gasoline.
* Maybe I should learn to make some of that stuff. Hmmm. How long will I be without supplies? Also I didn't know what kind of apocalypse this would be but it involves the gods I'm sure.
Where were the parents of Kat I did not know.
Michael piped up on this saying he wanted a freeze dryer. I looked at him like how would that happen, they cost so much.
* But freeze dried food was a good idea. I put down dehydrated food as well. And canned food with a can opener.
* Next a tent, tarp, thermal blankets, blankets. Rope, sleeping bags, a cooler, excess ice, and duct tape.
* Flint and steel for starting fires, waterproof matches, a pocket knife, batteries, a shovel, solar powered flashlights, lanterns, and a first aid kit.
* Next I decided we needed prescription medication for 1-3 months.
* Pain medication, face masks, antibiotics, and I should learn how to do phlebotomy. Hmm just in case.
* Hygiene items, toilet paper, shampoo, bars of soap, boots, and warm clothing.
* Pepper spray, firearms and some sort of shield. Ammunition, and maintenance kit. Fishing poles, and supplies for fishing.
* Phone backup batteries, chargers, and glow sticks.
* Survival manuals, cash, sewing supplies. I should learn to sew. Trash bags. Games to entertain ourselves.
* Building and repair knowledge and manuals and supplies.
* Medical knowledge, cpr certification, first aid and rescue knowledge.
* Pet food. Maybe stuff Kat would eat if she hatches. Hmmm. What do dragons eat.
As soon as I wrote down the list, it downloaded into my system and began to give me tasks to accumulate all of those things. It was incredible.
[System update: new categories of knowledge acquired
-Survival skills acquired level: 0/500
-Knowledge acquired level: 20/500
-Supplies acquired: 0/20
-Goals set: 5 ]
(I'm going to make this a short chapter because Evelyn wrote a lot of stuff.)
As soon as my list was done, I picked up the egg and smiled. Yes we were going to be ready. Or as ready as we will ever be. 18 years was plenty of time to do all of that. And more.
I would have to seriously study.
Now that I had categories, I decided to place the items in that order and work on leveling up each bit by bit so here we go!
My finished list is this:
Motivation points - MP
Energy - HP: Sleeping and eating
Experience - EXP
• Survival skills - EXP
• Knowledge acquired - EXP
• Supplies acquired - MP
• Goals set - MP
Goals:
• Feed Kat
• Keep up w/ respawn
• Prep for apocalypse
Knowledge acquired goals:
• Water purification
• Learn to make stuff (ovens, charcoal, etc.)
• Find out about Kat's parents
• Get a freeze dryer & learn to use it
• Learn to dry food
• Learn to do phlebotomy
• Learn to sew
• Learn to use firearm & maintain it
• Learn to make a battery
• First aid & CPR certified
• Learn about dragons
• Acquire survival supplies
Yes it is long. Yes it is me. But I will figure it out as I go. The system seemed surprised as it updated my goals to put categories. The goals going from 5 to 15, but it seemed to humor me. Loki you haven't seen nothing yet! I pumped my fist at the air In accomplishment and then leveled up to level 12, except I chose to feed Kat instead. I was getting the hang of this!
Now my system had built on itself and I had a dropdown menu I could select categories from.
All I had to do was use my creativity to add to it and suddenly I could earn points. So Loki seemed ok with anything huh?
Ok then I will make a bucket list hehe.
Kat approved.
Suddenly under motivation points a dropdown menu appeared. Hehe.
I wrote down all of the things I wanted to accomplish in my life and they registered there. I was becoming excited.
There had to be more ways to gain HP besides eating and sleeping.
It really should be when I buy anything. Why was supplies acquired MP? No it should be HP. Suddenly it changed. Oooo so it's whatever I want it to be huh?
Ok then I need to feed Kat a lot so make everything HP!

What? Try again!

I frowned. Ok so I couldn't exactly make survival skills HP. Or knowledge those were definitely experience, but I was glad to have some progress in my HP with acquiring supplies. That meant anything I buy can feed her or level me up. I also figured I had low EXP and MP levels so it wouldn't hurt to level up in those areas first. Yeah that is what I'll do.
