She leaned close to Wu Yue’s ear and whispered, "A lot of our tribespeople want to eat at. I’ll go back and tell Amu. For now, you should prioritize trading with people from our Collection Team."
Wu Yue’s eyes lit up. The two young females let out the sa sly giggle. ’They were a couple of clever little imps.’
The woven bag for collecting bitter greens had started to co apart, so Wu Yue simply repaired it, fashioned it into a simple grass sandal, and slipped it onto Qingcao’s foot. "Let walk you back."
Qingcao waved her hand dismissively. "No need, the wound doesn’t hurt at all anymore."
With that, she quickly darted out of the cave and ran off.
Wu Yue shook her head helplessly. She hung up the at she was keeping for herself and used a seashell to cut the large chunks of at, placing them on a stone slate to await the exchange.
Before long, Wu Yue heard a clamor of chattering voices. Standing at the cave entrance, she saw over a dozen females carrying Beast Skin Bags, led by Qingcao, hurrying toward her cave.
The mont they saw Wu Yue, their eyes lit up, and their pace quickened even more.
"Yue, Qingcao said you want to trade at for wild vegetables?"
A small, thin female looked at Wu Yue, her face full of anticipation.
Hearing this, the surrounding females instantly perked up their ears, their gazes all converging on her.
Wu Yue chuckled softly, then turned and brought out a few pieces of at that were already threaded with grass ropes. "The Half beastman Warriors gave a bit too much at. I can’t eat it all by myself, and it would go to waste. So I’d like to trade the extra for so wild vegetables. Everyone can pick whichever piece you’d like."
The females exchanged glances, their eyes shining. A deal this good would be a cri to pass up.
They imdiately rushed forward to pick their preferred cut of at, left the wild vegetables and fruits they had brought, and headed ho with happy steps.
Looking at the small mountain of wild vegetables in her cave, Wu Yue didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. ’Isn’t this a little too much?’
’Could she really complain that these females were too honest?’
"Yue, you should put away the vegetables quickly. I have to go ho too. I’ll let you know ahead of ti for the next collection."
As soon as she finished speaking, she vanished from Wu Yue’s sight. ’That girl really didn’t look like soone who was injured.’
"DING~ New quest issued: Make dried vegetables. Quest reward: Stone Pot x1."
The System’s chanical voice rang out once again.
Wu Yue was dumbfounded. "System, are you serious about a Stone Pot being the reward?"
’I could just ask a Half beastman Warrior to make several of those things for .’
The System replied with great patience: "Please do not compare the exquisite Stone Pot produced by the System with those made with crude, primitive craftsmanship.
When it’s from the System, it’s guaranteed to be top-quality. Absolutely smoke-free and non-stick, easy to clean, lightweight and portable—the essential pot for ho and travel."
Wu Yue: ...
’I’ve got to give that ad a 666!’
After storing the wild vegetables in a corner of the cave, Wu Yue, who was about to prepare so food, stared dumbfounded at the simple stove she had built.
She rembered that in the small tribe where she used to live, the fire embers were guarded by a designated person. No one was allowed to take the embers away unless it was for a particularly important reason.
’I wonder if it’s the sa in the Snow Tiger Tribe. If so, my dream of eating cooked at today might be shattered. I definitely don’t dare to eat this bloody, raw at directly.’
After so thought, she decided to go ask the Half beastman Warriors who guarded the embers. ’I’ll definitely need to use fire often in the future. It would be bad if I started a fire without permission and caused a commotion in the tribe.’
"Young female, this isn’t a place you can just approach." The Half beastman on guard saw her and blocked her path with his Stone Spear.
