Bringing a System to the Beast World

Chapter 317 From Today Onwards, You Are Under My Control
Wu Yue knew this guy was waiting for her: "Don't be too perfect, please conform to our era and living environment."

The system waved its little chubby paw casually: "Relax, relax, it's a system product, so don't worry."

After saying that, her round, black bean-like eyes shone with anticipation: "So, host, would you consider paying a deposit or something?"

Wu Yue picked at her ear: "They haven't even made anything yet, and they're already asking me for a deposit? And..."

She picked up the fluffy blue cat and said, "I'm entrusting you with such precious fur, shouldn't you give me a deposit or something?"

The chubby little head of the unicorn was instantly dumbfounded. What the heck?

I, as cheap labor, am at risk of losing points? This deal is just too unprofitable!
Wu Yue raised one leg and shook it: "So, in order to prevent my precious furs from being wasted, I think you should come up with the design drawings first, and only start making it when I'm satisfied."

Are you afraid I'll renege on my debt? Do you think I'm someone with absolutely no credibility?

The system said it had never seen a host who was both so poor and so fussy.

And it really wanted to ask its host, "Is reputation still something valuable to you?"

Of course, it wouldn't dare say that, and could only reluctantly prepare the design draft.

The next day, Wu Yue, who now had command over all the slaves, promptly washed up and went to the thatched hut where the slaves lived.

Instead of any work to do early in the morning, the slaves were delighted to see Lord Wu Yue, who provided them with food and dewormed them.

Some of the bolder ones even went up to greet her.

Wu Yue stood in the middle of several sheds and waved her hand to signal the slaves to quiet down: "I've come to see you all today because I have something very important to tell you."

She looked around at the silent, numb slaves: "From today until the end of the rainy season, you will no longer need to work in the homes of the tribespeople. Instead, I will manage you all."

The surrounding slaves were all taken aback upon hearing this. Nagano rubbed his hands nervously and stepped forward, saying, "Lord Gogetsu, have we...have we done something wrong?"

They were all very uneasy because the price of doing something wrong was either being exchanged or death, neither of which was the outcome they wanted.

Wu Yue shook her head: "You did nothing wrong. I needed a lot of people to help me gather materials, so I asked my tribe for you. From today until the rainy season, you will be helping me."

But don't worry, as long as you work hard, I will leave you enough food to get through the rainy season.

Furthermore, if you get sick in the future, you can come to me for treatment.

She looked at Nagano beside her and said, "My mother is a shaman, Nagano knows that, so I also know some herbs."

The slaves were ecstatic. They had enough food to get through the rainy season, and they were even treated when they got sick. What a wonderful life this was!

When Wu Yue was preparing to divide the slaves into groups, she discovered that the groups that had been formed last time still existed and were now quite mature.

The captains were very prestigious, and the slaves in the ranks obeyed them.

Of the four captains, Nagano's words carry the most weight.

When Wu Yue praised him, he said very sincerely, "It's all because I can speak up for you, so everyone is willing to listen to me."

Wu Yue was somewhat moved, realizing that she held such weight in the hearts of the slaves.

He distributed the mushrooms he brought to the four team leaders: "These are the mushrooms I collected yesterday. They are all non-poisonous, and they are what we are targeting today."

Don't eat the mushrooms you collect. I will identify them one by one after we're done. Some mushrooms are highly poisonous; if you eat them, there might not even be time to treat the poison. Do you understand?

The slaves responded in unison, "Understood."

"Moon, the basket is here." The orc's voice suddenly rang out, startling the slaves, who all huddled together.

Wu Yue rubbed her forehead. She really wanted to ask these slaves what the orc warriors had done to them.
Why did these slaves have such a deep fear of them?

What she didn't know was that, apart from her being an oddity from another world, when pure humans and slaves here faced orc warriors, the former mostly revered them, while the latter mostly feared them.

In an era where slaves' lives were less valuable than those of wild beasts, it was perfectly normal for them to feel fear and dread when faced with powerful orc warriors.

"Aren't you going hunting today?"

Wu Yue looked at Yuan Lang. Behind him, besides Teng Qian, were two familiar orc warriors, two of the same two who had eaten barbecue at her house last night.

When they saw her, they waved and greeted her warmly, showing none of the arrogance and coldness of an orc warrior.

If the two orc warriors knew what Wu Yue was thinking, they would probably wish they could just disappear on the spot.

Now, there's probably no orc warrior in the tribe who doesn't know Wu Yuewu's identity.

To be arrogant and cold in front of a witch?
They probably want to fly to the heavens!

not to mention…

The group secretly peeked at Yuan Lang ahead, their leader watching them intently from the side. They dared not give Wu Yue a hard time.

With the protection of the orc warriors, everything went well along the way, except for the slaves who were rather reserved and timid.

Wu Yue didn't need to worry about everyone's safety; she could just focus on gathering food.

Although she, Qingcao, and Aya collected quite a few mushrooms yesterday, it was just a drop in the ocean compared to the vastness of the forest.

The slaves divided into groups and began collecting the "sample mushrooms" given to them by Wu Yue.

Meanwhile, several orc warriors stared blankly at the baskets in their hands.

As Wu Yue was actively picking mushrooms, she looked up and saw several tall orc warriors standing there idly in the shade. She rolled her eyes in a very unseemly manner.

"Don't you guys have anything to do?"

Looking into the little female's bright eyes, Yuan Lang suddenly felt a chill run down his spine; he had a very bad premonition.

"Of course we have things to do. We need to patrol. If any wild animals come, you'll be in danger."

After saying that, he gave a look to his henchmen and prepared to make a run for it.

Wu Yue sneered: "This place is already within the tribe's territory. The ferocious beasts have all been cleared out by the patrolling orc warriors. What are you patrolling for?"

"Whose fault is this loneliness, oh dear~"

The familiar melody, the familiar formula—Wu Yue calmly pulled the blue robot cat out of the basket on her back and gave it two hard slaps on the butt: "You better behave yourself, what kind of songs are you listening to all day?"
