  [ Back to the topic, when are you going to explore the spirit beast Ranch and the rewards from the Special dungeon? Those two things would greatly help the host, and Aina suggests the host quickly check it. Those protagonists wouldn't stay still when you are living your life leisurely]

  Aina asked Ray, who was still enjoying his time under Anna's embrace.

  ??

  ' *Sigh* Couldn't you choose a better timing? Don't you know I have a pretty lady to satisfy this time? But yes, you are right. I'll check them soon after Anna was satisfied.'

  Ray then proceed to ignore Aina and continued with his activity for the next 2 hours. It was until Anna was sleeping because of tiredness that he finally left the bed.

  ' Now I'm ready, how open the spirit beast ranch, Aina!'

  [ Sure, but you should control your lust a bit, host. That poor lady's body was too weak to handle you properly.]

  Ray's face was red full of shame, and he could only throw some awkward laugh. However, he was already transported into a floating island with only a small barn and untiled land on it the next second he knew……

  [ Welcome to the spirit beast ranch. ]

  [ The tutorial will proceed, do you want to continue? Y/N].

  Next, Ray spent some time on the tutorial. Basically, this spirit beast ranch was very similar to a farming simulator. He could grow spirit plants or leave his spirit beasts here to be nursed by the ranch. The ranch atmosphere was also filled with rich spiritual energy, which could help the spirit beasts grow.

  He checked the current ranch capacity, and it has 5 slots in it which were all empty……

  [ Spirit beast Qilineko (Schwarz)]

  [ A type of spirit beasts that dwells in the darkness. It was seen as an advent of calamity by some people.]

  [ Lv: 35 ( Middle-class commander)]

  [ Hp: 600/600]

  [ Exp: 350/1500]

  [ Bp: 1350]

  [ Passive: Omen and Destiny]

  [ Special ability: ]

  [ - Extreme agility boost, Sneer, Sractch, Dunkenheilt eyes, Phantom image*, Aura*].

  [ Spirit beast Chongky ]

  [ A type of spirit beasts from the Southern East Continent. It could control the power of shadow and is a tricky opponent to deal with.]

  [ Lv: 25 (Middle-class captain)]

  [ Exp: 120/350]

  [ Hp: 280/280]

  [ Bp: 700]

  [ Passive: Illusory body]

  [ Special ability: Shadow hands, Bark, Scratch, Reflect].

  Should he leave his spirit beast here? But that would greatly reduce his combat power and safety in the outer world.

  One of the weaknesses of the spirit beast ranch was the fact that it couldn't do a quick swap from the spirit beast in Ray's party. If he were to leave one of his spirit beasts here, and suddenly got attacked in the outside world, he couldn't call back the spirit beast left in the ranch.

  Hmm, Ray was in a deep dilemma. Should he try to gain another spirit beast pact and caught stray spirit beasts?

  [ DING!!! Don't worry host, please move to the center of the ranch and touch the ranch core. You will find the solutions to all your current problems there.]

  Aina's voice startled ray, who was in deep thought. However, he didn't choose to complain and swiftly followed Aina's suggestion. Either way, it is not harmful to him to try it, and he also didn't have any good solution to his current problem.

  He walked to the ranch core and touched it……

  [ DING!!! The host's presence was detected, Opening spirit beast shop and gacha.]

  ' Another Gacha!!!???"

  [ Spirit beast shop: Currently available item: Spirit beast pact x1 ( 500 Sp)]

  [ Welcome to the spirit beast gacha]

  [ Featured banner: Heart of the deep sea]

  [ Featured item:-

  Maelstorm {Diamond rarity (up*)}-

  Deep-sea Leviathan {Gold rarity (up*)}-

  Orange fish who could only splash {Gold rarity (up*)}

  [ Pity 0/500 ]

  [ Time left: 23 days, 12 hours.].

  NANI!!! Why did this gacha have a 0/500 pity? And what is that price of 500 Sp for each spirit beast pact?

  The price increase made Ray feel dumbfounded. He had collected some Sp from the Special Dungeon, but if the price was this high, wouldn't he only be able to afford one new spirit beast?

  [ Oh, Don't be such a cheap host. The previous price was because of the beginner period bonus. The host has been in this world for more than 3 years, so wouldn't it be appropriate to increase the price? Another thing, since the host has been away for 3 years, the item in the shop and item gacha has been reset, so please give it a check.]

  Nima, If he could, Ray would happily give this shameless Aina a chokeslam followed by Suplex. But he knew that grieving wouldn't help much, so he decided to close the gacha section first.

  Since the barn and spirit beast nursing system wouldn't benefit the current him, Ray shifted his focus to the spirit farm……

  [ DING!!! Welcome to the spirit farm.]

  [ To use the spirit farm, the host needs to tile the land first and get some spirit seeds planted.].

  *Sigh* Another useless and pay-to-win method. This system clearly was the nightmare of most f2p players.

  ' Aina, check the shop and find some seeds for me to purchase.'

  [ Sure host ~]

  [ DING!!! An item that suits the host criteria has been detected in the shop.]

  [ Random seedbox x1, 100 Sp, do you confirm to purchase?Y/N].

  Buy, just buy it. Now a 100 Sp wasn't really that expensive to him. Furthermore, he would really feel wronged if he opened the spirit beast ranch only to not be able to do anything with it.

  [ DING!!! Congratulation on obtaining the Random seedbox. Open? Y/N]

  ' Use the lucky-boy special skill first, then open it.'

  [ DING!!! Congratulation on obtaining the Blue-Argon emperor seed].

  Jackpot!!! Ray's eyes glimmered when he saw the reward he got. He never really learned about the name of spirit beast or plants in this world, but a spirit plant with an emperor on its name should be amongst the top tier.

  He took out the Blue-argon emperor seed and observed it.

  " Worthy of an emperor-level seed, I could feel the energy within is very pure. Next is to plant it and make sure that it would grow well. Hehehe, finally my 200 hours experience in Friends of Mineral town will be of use. Chongky, Schwarz, Xiansheng, let's go, we will be the best farmer in this world!!"

  *Boing-Boing*

  " Meow"

  And thus, a person and 3 spirit beasts spend the rest of their day tiling lands on the spirit ranch.
