With My System, I Can Even Tame Gods

After stopping at the Mercenary Guild, the two of them didn't head out of the city gates right away.

Instead, they went over to the market to pick up a few supplies.

Once they were finished shopping, they also went back to the inn to check out of their room. They had rented the room for a week in the beginning, so they got their money back for the rest of their stay.

This inn was used to dealing with mercenaries, so it didn't take long for them to receive their refund.

The reason they were doing all of this was because this time, the mission they had received would take them quite a bit of time to finish, so they wouldn't be able to return to the city right away.

The mission that they had accepted was one to scout out an area in a nearby forest.

There had been rumours that there was an influx of spirit beasts that had appeared in the forest, so they were responsible for confirming if this information was correct.

This had the potential to be a very dangerous mission, but because of that, it was also a mission that paid quite well.

However, the main reason why Lin Fan had accepted this mission was because while this mission might be dangerous for normal mercenaries, it wasn't considered dangerous for him at all.

He had something that normal mercenaries didn't have, he had the Pet Storage Space.

If the rumours were true and there were many spirit beasts in this area, it would certainly be dangerous since it would mean being surrounded by spirit beasts. But with the Pet Storage Space, if the situation ever became dangerous, Lin Fan could always hide in the Pet Storage Space and wait for the spirit beasts to leave before coming out.

So in that sense, this mission wasn't as dangerous for him.

Once everything was taken care of, the two of them headed out the gate.

They were carrying their supplies with them since it would seem strange if they headed out without any supplies at all, but that could be thrown into the Pet Storage Space at any time.

With their Mercenary Licenses, they were able to get out of the gate without any trouble and soon they were on their way to the forest for the mission.

Once they were out of the gates, Lin Fan pulled the horse from the Pet Storage Space.

The forest was a long way from the city and if they didn't ride the horse, it would have taken them a long time to get there. Not to mention that since they were out of the city now, it didn't matter if others saw the horse since it was very unlikely that they would recognize it.

When the horse came out of the Pet Storage Space, the Snow Rabbit came out as well while sitting on the horse's head.

Lin Fan was surprised to see the Snow Rabbit coming out with the horse, but since the horse didn't seem to mind, there wasn't much that Lin Fan could say about it.

But when he was about to sit on the horse, he saw a notification suddenly appear in front of him.

[Target for taming has been detected. Does the host wish to tame this horse?]

Lin Fan was surprised to see that he was able to tame the horse, but when he looked carefully at the horse's stats, he found that the horse's affection was already at 50.

Lin Fan couldn't help knitting his brows when he saw this because he never remembered any notifications about any affection increases, so he didn't know how the horse's affection had increased this much.

What he didn't know was that all the notifications about this had appeared in the middle of the night, so he had never seen it once.

However, there was no reason for him not to tame this horse since he needed it for transport in the future, so he said to the system, "Tame."

As soon as he did, there was a flash of light that appeared around the horse that disappeared as quickly as it had appeared.

Once the flash of light was gone, the way the horse looked at Lin Fan had completely changed.

It nuzzled up against his face and looked very close to him.

Xiao Yue was surprised by this sudden change in the horse's personality, but she wasn't surprised anymore when it came to Lin Fan.

There were just too many mysteries with Lin Fan and she couldn't care anymore about what mysteries he had. All she cared about was whether she could stay by his side or not.

After the horse was tamed, the trip became much simpler.

Lin Fan didn't know how to ride the horse, so he figured that this would be a problem, but it was easily fixed after he had tamed the horse. The horse handled the entire thing and all Lin Fan had to do was sit on the horse's back while it ran along the road.

But along the way, Lin Fan did something that he normally wouldn't do.

After the first night together, Lin Fan had thought of many ways to help Xiao Yue feel more comfortable around him, but he never had a chance to do them yesterday because of what had happened.

Since they had time before they arrived at the forest, he decided to do them now.

He did many things for her that he thought that a gentleman would do, like helping her onto the horse, helping her off the horse, setting up a space to eat for her, and all kinds of other things.

But as he did this, throughout the day, Xiao Yue's expression became uglier and uglier until finally she couldn't take it anymore.

[Xiao Yue is put off by your actions. Affection has decreased by 5.]

Lin Fan had been putting down a blanket for Xiao Yue to sit down on when he suddenly saw this notification appear.

He had been so stunned by it that he had dropped the blanket that he had been holding.

After coming back to his senses, he turned to look at Xiao Yue who was looking at him with a bad look on her face.

He didn't understand why the affection would suddenly decrease like this.

Wasn't it normal for a guy to treat a girl like this? Didn't girls enjoy being treated like this by a gentleman?

He had thought that he had been doing a good job, but now it seemed like Xiao Yue thought differently.

Seeing that he had stopped moving and was looking over at her, Xiao Yue came over and asked, "Young master, is something wrong?"

Lin Fan was pulled out of his daze by her words and he said in a stuttering voice, "Nothing, it's nothing." Then after a pause, he added, "Are you having any problems?"

Xiao Yue was confused why Lin Fan was asking this, but at the same time, she felt strangely unhappy that he was asking this.

So she just said in a snappy voice, "I'm fine, there's nothing wrong."

Lin Fan immediately picked up on the unhappy tone in her voice and started saying while patting his chest, "If you're unhappy with anything, I can fix it. Just tell me and I'll take care of it for you."

Hearing this, Xiao Yue became even more unhappy until she finally couldn't take it anymore and said, "Why are you being so annoying? What's wrong with you today?"

Lin Fan was taken aback the moment that he heard this.

He had thought that he had been doing all the right things, but to be called "annoying" to his face right now really came as a shock.

Lin Fan didn't know how to respond at first and even after a few minutes, he still didn't know how to respond.

The only thing that he could do was stutter as he said, "But, but I was just trying to be nice to you. Did, did I do something wrong?"

That had been Lin Fan's mistake.

It was fine to be nice to the opposite gender, but when you did it in excess, it comes off as annoying.

There were people who liked being treated like this, but most people were independent people and found it annoying having everything done for them. Especially when it came to someone who was as strong as Xiao Yue.

So all of Lin Fan's actions had just come off as annoying for her.

But seeing the way he was stuttering and the way he looked genuinely surprised, she couldn't help feeling all the annoying feelings in her heart disappearing. As she looked at his confused face, she even found it cute when he didn't know what he had done wrong.

[Xiao Yue has been moved by your actions. Affection has increased by 10.]

Lin Fan was just as confused by this second notification.

He looked at Xiao Yue with an even more confused face as he didn't know what to say.

But before he could say anything, Xiao Yue came forward to take the blanket from his hand and started putting it down as she said, "There's no need for you to do everything. You can rely on me from time to time."

Once she was done putting down the blanket, she turned to Lin Fan with a smile and said, "It's good enough to know that you're there."

Lin Fan was dazed by this smile and he just stuttered out, "Oh, ok."

Xiao Yue shook her head when she saw this and then picking up the food that Lin Fan had set on the side, she sat down on the blanket before patting at the space beside her. She looked back at Lin Fan and said with a smile, "Let's eat."

Lin Fan just nodded in a daze.
