God of Systems: Maker of Heroes and Villains

In the next few hours, it was Brandon and Clara who took care of the cooking while everyone else were keeping an eye on their surroundings. The thing they were making wasn't an easy thing to make thanks to the lack of certain instruments, culinary skill and time.

But since Brandon was there, he solved most of the problems.

Keith's plan was simple. He got his team to make fufu but he got them to make it extremely thick and dense. It was this part that was hard as it got very difficult to knead the thing in the latter stages. The sugar was also added into the fufu just to make sure that he could pack in as many calories into it as possible.

But once that was done, Brandon grabbed a small amount in his hand and smeared a thin layer onto his stone skin fingers before dipping them into hot oil. The thin layer of fufu would separate and float in the oil while he continued this step multiple times.

By the time they were done making all the chips, it was already evening. Everyone had already tasted the chips and no one particularly liked it, except for Nathan who seemed to have gotten addicted to them as he had chomped down on more than 50 chips already.

Keith didn't like them either, but at this point, the chips were a means to an end. They were currently a great source of carbohydrates. He packed all the chips into 7 small cloth bags and tied them to the end of a stick.

"Here, everyone gets one and please do make sure that you don't eat everything in one sitting. For the next few days, we should be able to survive on these fruits and berries." he said and grabbed a stick for himself before he pointed at a large rock.

"You guys should go to bed. We'll need two people to keep watch while everyone is sleeping and we'll make two groups. Those who're ready to keep watch at night can join my team and those who want to sleep normally can just go to that rock and close your eyes. I only need three people in my group."

The first one was Clara, and Keith didn't really want to see her mess up her sleep but just as he was about to look for someone else, Amelia joined her too. The other four had no interest in keeping watch at night and Keith felt like it would be too much if he tried to force them into the night shift when two people were ready to do it.

With a wry smile on his face, he shook his head before looking at the trainee Inquisitor trio and Brandon.

"Welp, just huddle together and cover yourselves with blankets. That should be enough to keep you warm. The fire will also probably help... Oh yeah Caleb, just control the air near the fire and bring it in towards yourselves. Once you feel enough heat, just cover yourself with the blanket and it should be enough to trap the heat. Do put a few on the ground too." he said, instructing them as they tried to set things up for a decent sleep.

Keith watched them huddle together and a few minutes later they were fast asleep. He took a swig from his water canteen and sat down on a stone before looking at the two girls, "If you guys are sleepy, feel free to take a short nap. This week will be frustrating."n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

He had multiple system screens in front of him thanks to the system seeds he had placed on almost all the people in the training program. Most of them were sleeping, but there were a few that were lurking around, searching for prey.

Amelia looked at him with fiery competitive spirit in her eyes, "Do you think that I can't stay awake for just one night? You're underestimating my capabilities, the capabilities of the midnight princess."

"What about you? It's not a good thing to stay awake at night and you know that right?" he asked as he turned to Clara, ignoring Amelia almost entirely but the slight smirk that tugged at his lips said another thing. Amelia knew him pretty well at this point and when she saw the smirk that he was trying to suppress, she knew that he was trying to get her to rage.

"Hmph, annoying dog." she cursed him before looking away.

Clara chuckled slightly before looking at Keith, "Okay, I'll take some short naps until I get used to this schedule."

But what Keith didn't expect, was to see her latch onto his arm and use his shoulder as a headrest.

He blinked twice and sighed slightly. While he didn't necessarily dislike this, especially when his arm was buried in her bosom, he had something important to do tonight. Something that would keep his team's morale high.

But he stopped himself as there was no need for him to hurry with his plans. He had the leeway to spend some time with her, even if it was a time spent in silence.

Almost an hour later, Keith was about to wake her up but she had never gone to sleep. Discover hidden content at empire

"Oh, you're awake." he commented as he separated from her reluctantly, "I have something I want to do.... like go to someone else's camp and steal stuff. I have danger sense so I'll be fine but you should should stay back here so that you can keep an eye."

"I'm coming with you." Amelia jumped in. He could see the tiredness in her eyes and even with that, she was jumping around.

Keith shook his head, "Did you not hear a single word that I just said? I want you to keep watch so that these four don't get assassinated. I mean robbed or attacked or something like that."

"Tch, I'm getting bored! If I stay here without having anything to do, I'll go mad... I'll probably fall asleep. Don't you have any heart? Have some pity."

"I told you to take a nap, but you didn't listen. You too." he said as he looked at Clara, "Feel free to sleep while taking turns but just make sure that both of you don't fall asleep at the same time. Oh yes, I actually sense that invisible kid nearby."
