Chapter 155: Legacy System

[How could Host forget?]

[You are lucky this system has impeccable memory]

[While birthing the cubs, Host’s exact words were "I will never have sex again"]

[This system documented it]

[(ಡ ͜ ʖ ಡ)]

Tera suddenly remembered making that statement while two cubs the size of small boulders had been making their dramatic exit from her body.

’OMG!’

"That—that doesn’t count. I was in labour! Hello?! My body was being ripped apart! I could have said I was the moon goddess and it wouldn’t have been valid!"

[This system simply finds it amusing that Host went from "never again" to what this system witnessed last night]

[(╥﹏╥)]

Tera rolled her eyes.

"That’s none of my business, you peeping tom!"

[(ㅎᴗㅎ )...]

[Host is the one making this innocent system see such scandalous things!]

[For a Host whose main task has little to do with mating, you sure carry out a lot of it]

Tera had been going weeks and months without sex ever since she had come here. If this was plenty enough, she wondered how it would react to a lot of people going at it on a weekly basis back in the modern world.

She groaned and shook her head.

Regardless, it wasn’t like she could get pregnant when she wasn’t on heat, so she was safe for now.

"Alright," Tera grumbled. "You’ve had your fun. Now explain everything you dumped on me yesterday."

[Ah!]

[Yes!]

[Host wishes to discuss the developments!]

[(ᕼ✧ᴗ✧ᕼ)]

Tera was suddenly suspicious. Why did the system look so excited?

"You mentioned a Legacy..."

[Yes, Host!]

[Legacy has been unlocked!]

[This new progression path was unlocked when a beast outside Host’s vicinity independently replicated Host’s construction methods]

[This beast is Feron]

Tera’s brows rose in surprise. A part of her had briefly wondered if he was alright out there before moving on with her own business.

But it still surprised her at the same time that he was fine and dandy.

And more importantly, he had done what?!

’How...?’

Tera felt like she had asked a silly question, but she couldn’t take it back.

[It seems the jackal beast had travelled for some time before encountering another tribe and settling in an unoccupied area]

[Using the construction techniques he absorbed while working under Host’s supervision, he has independently built a stable structure]

[Host’s influence no longer requires Host’s physical presence to produce results!]

[〜⁠(⁠꒪⁠꒳⁠꒪⁠)⁠〜]

Tera sat with that for a moment.

She was still in a slight state of shock. But it made sense how he would be able to do something like this on his own when he had been worked to the bone as punishment for what he had done.

He had been eager to redeem himself, but Tera hadn’t actually considered him being this capable.

She suddenly became curious. What materials did he use to build, and how did he even put them together without her tools?

Now she really wanted to see it.

’That idiot actually learned a lot to be able to execute something like that.’

[This system agrees with Host’s assessment of the idiot’s competence]

[But the idiot has changed everything]

[(◕‿◕)]

[When Host first arrived in this world, all progress depended on Host being physically present and active with the task]

[And this system knows that Host cannot personally build every settlement across this entire world]

[Which is still healing]

[Hence, the Legacy system]

’Hold on. Is it a different one? You literally said you were a tribal development—’

[This one is basically a subset of the ’Tribal Development System’]

’Fine, as if it wasn’t obvious from the get-go that I couldn’t run around the world doing this.’

[(ㆆࡇㆆ")]

But this was amazing for Tera. It meant her role had basically shifted from doing everything herself to teaching well enough that other beasts could do it without her.

Tera was quiet for a few seconds.

[Also, Host gets rewards from independent projects]

Tera became very alert at that, her eyes already twinkling.

’You’re saying... I benefit every time someone builds something on their own?!’

[This Host should not get ahead of herself]

[Host is still obligated to carry out tasks]

[But the core of this Legacy system is that when beasts independently use methods that originated from Host, without Host’s supervision and outside Host’s vicinity, the system recognises it as Host’s influence spreading organically]

[And Host receives rewards accordingly]

[Passive stat gains, Nipples, bonuses, and Legacy Points to purchase boosts]

’Hold on a moment. Points and boosts?’

Tera remembered seeing Legacy boosts on her status board. What did that mean?

[A new currency!]

[Nipples and Legacy points are earned by Host completing tasks personally]

[But the points can also be earned by other beasts finishing projects outside Host’s knowledge]

[Points can only be used to purchase boosts]

[The more beasts Host influences, and the more clans that adopt her methods, the larger and more constant that flow of Legacy points becomes]

[Currently, Host has only one disciple generating points]

[(ㅎᴗㅎ )...]

[Imagine dozens]

Tera’s mouth had gone dry.

’Fucking hell...’

[The Legacy System has four disciple tiers]

[Tier 1: Apprentice]

[A beast who has worked alongside Host and can follow her instructions]

[Most of the Dow clan members are currently at this tier]

[Though they do not become registered disciples until the second tier]

[Tier 2: Builder]

[A beast who has independently constructed something using Host’s methods in a different region from Host]

[Feron is Host’s first Builder!]

[Tier 3: Architect]

[A beast who has spread Host’s methods to a different clan or territory]

[Tier 4: Pioneer]

[A beast who independently innovates BEYOND what Host taught]

[They take Host’s foundation and upgrade or create something new that Host never introduced]

[This is the highest tier, and the innovation is logged in the System Archive for Host to review]

Tera was shocked beyond words. This was an insanely massive upgrade!

The mere thought alone of even amassing stats and rewards passively was nearly making her mouth water.

[Does Host understand?]

Tera understood it so well that her whole body was shaking with excitement.
