Chapter 272: Gi and Farms

[Day 2/1825 on The Godless Green Earth A.I World]

I lowered myself down to the ground fast and put down Mikota. She was already changing in my arms, but was that okay?

"Mikota, are you sure about this?" I called out as she started to run forward.

"Trust me, I can control it, but you have to figure out how to get her back!" Mikota said as she transformed into a massive white Gialazsaur.

Mikota and the other Gialazsaur crashed together, but they were not having any effect on each other. The claws and teeth of the two weren't leaving any marks, and that meant that they shouldn't be fighting. I started to float back up into the air, then rushed forward and put my hand on the green geometrical body segment.

[Primal System] Activated!

[Absorb Gi] Activated!

[Guardian Summons] 15% completed!

Energy started to rush inside of me and the massive beast stopped struggling. Mikota let go and also started to change back, but she just started steaming as she shrunk back down. I had to lower myself as the form slowly returned to that of a woman.

The woman threw her arms around me with tear-filled eyes, and I hugged her back. I couldn't imagine how long she was stuck like that, but this was good and it meant that there would be a way to control the forms. The woman had gone quiet and I could feel her weight sinking in my arms.

I looked down at the woman, but she had just passed out. I could see the others that had been being chased starting to run back to us. I turned back around to find Mikota sitting on the ground almost falling asleep herself.

"Are you okay? How did you do that? Gix, go tell Kal, he will want to come and carry her back, but bring her over here and put her down. Go take care of your she, she looks very tired," A man with red skin and Green stripes asked. "I am Gen, and from all of us, thank you."

I walked over and placed the sleeping woman on an open patch of grass, and then turned to go over to Mikota. I scooped my very tired little guardian, and then lifted into the air. The people called out to me, and I told them I would be back, but I still rose and floated higher into the air.

Soon, we were out of sight from the others and I looked down at Mikota with a smile. 

"You did really good at being a guardian for your first time!" I said after giving her a long kiss, that she gripped my face for. "How was it?"

"Weird, I was that thing, and I could control it, but it took so much effort to hold it. I don't know how they got stuck like that," Mikota said, putting a finger to her lip thoughtfully.

"I think it might have something to do with being a guardian, but I also think it has something to do with us having sex, and maybe some other stuff. So, really, I have no idea, but what I do know is that we now have a way to save the other partners trapped inside of what they call the Devolved. Now, we just have to make this place start flourishing, and I am starting to get some ideas about how we can do that."

"Oh? You have a master plan?" Mikota asked after a long yawn.

"I don't know, but I think I need to start playing this like an RTS. In a Real-Time-Strategy game, you want to increase economy, production, and tech, so we have a lot of work to do, but I do think that we can do this. We also need to start working on building up an army and defense. Gripton made this world, so I'll just have to trust him. Now I will just wait…"

"Yoo-hoo, Anyone home? Mind if I stop by?" Gripton asked, poking his head out of a cloud about three meters away from me.

"I figured you would be here shortly after hearing your name."

"Oh yes, I have a beeper that goes off in my head every time I hear my name and I go check to see if anyone is talking the mad trash about me!" Gripton said, chuckling to himself.

"Really?"

"NO! I don't give a shit what other people think! They can go piss up a rope! Anyways, I do have one set for you though, it usually goes off if it's something that I can help with. So, what do you think so far? Ready for the good stuff?" Gripton asked.

"Like some way to start building stuff? This is an RTS right, so I should have access to a menu and options?"

"Yes, you already have it but you need to go and collect more Gi from the rampaging Gialazsaur. First command! Farm! That's all for now, bye," Gripton told me and then disappeared again.

Hmm? Farm? But then my screen started flashing red, but the ground was nowhere in sight. I was going to leave, but then I stopped and kissed Mikota since I would have to be less touchy-feely with her once I was down and back with the others. 

Mikota pulled my face down to hers and we shared a long and slow kiss. Then, I started to lower us back down to the ground after we finished. And the group of people was still there, but there were more now. I could also see someone leaning over the top of the woman, that must be Kal. The man had brown skin and hair with red stripes, which would mean his eyes were red.

I had noticed right away that all the Gialazsaur had matching hair and skin, plus matching stripes and eyes. I don't think it meant anything other than it is easier to describe them in my head. 

I looked away from the group and tried to use the Farm command again. This time it worked and I could see a virtual outline of a hill with a door and a fenced-in garden. I was able to move it around with my mind and turn it. I decided on a place at the edge of the landscape, there was a large cliff on the other side, but I wasn't too worried about it. Sometimes you just had to trust in game logic!

After placing the farm, the people jumped and turned to see what had happened. Then they started to file over there and picked up tools to start digging up the land and building the fence. This was good, that meant that I would just have to place the places and they would build them. Now, this was more like it!

I tried to use another farm, but I got a red flash and a warning message. 

[34 Gi of 150 Gi] Required to build this building!

So I had to collect Gi, but there had to be more ways to get it than hunting down Devolved Gialazsaur, right? It was going to take eight hours according to the timer running over the project. So, that meant I would have time to go looking for more women to save, but Mikota was still sleeping in my arms.

Maybe I would go see the others first, Kazuya must have come back to the tunnel entrance by now. Maybe he and the others now, so I decided to fly over. The group that I had saved now were all working at the farm, so I figured that I could leave them to the task. Maybe with the new system, I could get everyone special jobs and that might help, but I still have a long way to go yet.

I floated over and found the group just waiting for me. None of them were looking around, but it's not like they should be. They probably knew that I would come back at some point or I would have been eaten and that would be that.

"You survived, and I heard you saved Kal's she, Kia! That's wonderful!" Kazuya said, coming over with Miala and the other two.

"We couldn't believe what Gix said when he came to get Kal! A she rescued from being Devolved!" Garry said, clapping a hand on my shoulder.

"I will try and save all of them out there if I can, but I want you to stop calling them Devolved. Something is missing from the way that they do it and I want to figure that out. For now, I would like you to go help over near the garden, I started a farm and the others are building it right now. I don't know exactly what it will produce, but I think it is going to help us."

"Farm? What is that? And how can we help build something that we have never seen before?" Tali asked from beside Garry while holding his hand.

Oh dear, I was going to have to deal with that later, but if I kept them busy with helping at the farm for the next eight hours I should be able to go collect more Gi. The biggest problem right now was transporting the girls I found back here, but I would figure something out. 

"You will all be able to figure it out when you get there. There are others already there working who had never seen something like this before. Don't worry I think it will come to you once you see the place, be safe and I will be back in a couple hours."

With that, I floated off with Mikota in my arms on a small ball of dirt, off to make more friends with these raging monsters. More Dave stuff.
