Yu Ying looked puzzled, blinking her pink eyes a few tis, and asked, “What did you do, Shaman?”
“I used a Shaman Technique that will make Rolly obedient to .” Su Bai calmly stated.
He observed the cat on the ground, seeing it sitting quietly in place without moving.
Su Bai wanted to test if Taming had really worked, so he commanded, “Turn around.”
*ow~* Rolly lazily owed, stood up straight, and started circling around Su Bai.
Yu Ying was amazed by Rolly’s actions. She said in astonishnt, “It really obediently listens to you now, Shaman.”
The fox eared girl was shocked, not expecting such a Shaman Technique to exist. Her admiration for the Shaman grew even more.
Before, she only knew the Shaman was very intelligent, able to create various things, and learned Shaman Techniques much faster than the Old Shaman. She never imagined he would be so powerful as to know Shaman Techniques that could Ta beasts. She had never heard of such a Shaman Technique before.
“Don’t worry. Just sleep well tonight. It won’t do anything bad to us,” Su Bai said with a smile.
He originally did not want to use the Taming Skill on Rolly. However, who knew if cats here were different from those on Earth? Who knew what Rolly’s true intentions and temperant were? He simply had to take precautions.
Moreover, doing this allowed him to keep Rolly by his side, which was not a bad solution.
“En-mm!” Yu Ying nodded vigorously, then went to her own sleeping spot.
Su Bai could tell from the fox eared girl’s expression that she probably planned to sleep while hugging Rolly.
Suddenly, for so unknown reason, he felt a bit envious in his heart, thinking that being a cat would not be that bad.
He laughed and shook his head, walking to his spot to continue reading the two books he got from the System earlier.
Ti passed minute by minute, and the sky slowly began to brighten.
Morning ca, and Su Bai opened his eyes only to find the wooden house empty.
No, there was still one occupant – though not Human – his pet, Rolly.
Rolly was currently perched on the table, tilting its head with its round eyes fixed on Su Bai.
Earlier when the fox eared girl got up, she had petted the cat for a while before taking her water bucket to check on the sweet potatoes.
After being petted, Rolly just sat on the table, staring at the sleeping Su Bai.
“Good morning, Rolly!” Su Bai got up and stretched, not minding being stared at by such a cute creature.
*ow~* Rolly let out a lazy ow, as if responding. It soon jumped down from the table to rub against Su Bai’s feet.
It looked up at him, its round black eyes showing a longing gaze.
“Haha… I know, I’ll get you so food.” Su Bai heartily laughed.
He suddenly rembered the bag of cat food he got from the System earlier, and got up to take it out of the box.
“Oh right, I almost forgot.” Su Bai opened the cat food bag, “Such a big bag should last quite a while, right?”
He found a rather large stone bowl, poured so cat food in it, and placed it in front of Rolly.
*ow~*
*Munch munch…*
Rolly first owed once, circled the stone bowl several tis, and after confirming it was safe, started heartily eating.
“Seems like this cat food is to your taste.” Su Bai watched Rolly eat with relish.
He stopped watching the cat and went to brush his teeth and wash his face. Having slept late last night, seeing Rolly eating made him feel hungry too.
[Almost forgot to check in!] Su Bai exclaid in his heart after he finished brushing his teeth, [System! Check in and open the Assistance Package.]
[Ding! Congratulations Host, check in successful!]
[Ding! Congratulations, Host has received Low Grade Assistance: one box of face masks.]
Su Bai looked at the box of masks in his hand and muttered, “A box of fifty masks? Not bad.”
Sotis, when there was a lot of dust in the Tribe, he could wear these masks when he needed to go out to inspect.
“Shaman, since we ca back, the sweet potatoes have been growing so slowly!” Yu Ying walked into the wooden house.
It had been several days since moving here, and the fox eared girl checked the sweet potatoes each day, but recently noticed their growth had slowed down compared to their previous location.
Su Bai put away the masks and curiously asked, “Growing slowly? How slow?”
“It’s like they haven’t grown at all. It is not like before, when we hadn’t returned. The sweet potatoes grew so much fast then!” Yu Ying gestured with her hands to describe.
“Haven’t grown at all?” Su Bai frowned. [Could it be that the soil here isn’t as good? Not as good as the previous plot?]
“Yes, they’re just like when we first replanted them.” Yu Ying nodded.
Su Bai pondered thoughtfully. [Even if they needed ti to adapt after being dug up and replanted, it had been several days already. For them to show no growth is a bit extre.]
He looked back at Rolly and said, “Go make breakfast first, I’ll go and have a look.”
“Okay!” Yu Ying slowly put down her wooden bucket.
Su Bai left the wooden house, walking toward the outskirts of the Tribe, thinking about this issue the whole way.
[Isn’t the soil in Primitive Tribes supposed to be exceptionally good? Why isn’t the soil in the Ancestral Land able to make sweet potatoes quickly grow?]
Ten minutes later, Su Bai arrived at the sweet potato field and saw that the sweet potatoes looked unchanged.
He rembered clearly that since planting them, the sweet potatoes had remained in their current state.
Even the original sweet potato slip had not grown any longer, let alone sprout out any additional vines.
Su Bai crouched down, examining the sweet potatoes. He muttered with furrowed brows, “There doesn’t seem to be any problem. They’re still alive. If that’s the case, why has their growth rate beco like those on Earth?”
“Shaman, what are you doing?” Yan Hua’s voice ca from afar.
Su Bai turned his head toward the sound and said, “I’m checking on the sweet potatoes’ growth. It’s different from before.”
Yan Hua also crouched down to observe the sweet potatoes. After a while, she finally managed to say, “I don’t see any difference.”
Unlike the fox eared girl who checked daily, Yan Hua was focused solely on training, so she was not very familiar with these matters.
Su Bai smiled, stood up, and dusted off his hands, “It’s normal that you don’t know.”
“Shaman, what should we do if the sweet potatoes are growing slowly? Can we harvest them before the rainy season?” Yan Hua worriedly asked.
“Probably not. If things don’t improve, we’ll have to harvest them early.” Su Bai helplessly said.
After all, he did not have any Shaman Technique that could accelerate plant growth, so there was nothing he could do about the slow growth.
