Bringing a System to the Beast World

Chapter 353 Yuan Lang's Little Secret
The females looked at her with disgust: "Yue, eggs are so delicious, why do you kill the chicken to eat the meat? You're such a waste."

Wu Yue: "..."

Honestly, is it really okay for you to treat me like this?
Am I not thinking of you all?

"Chickens also have males and females. There shouldn't be too many roosters in a group, otherwise they will fight every day."

There are only two roosters in my circle now.

Upon hearing this, all the females nodded in unison: "So that's how it is."

"So, when you said you were killing and eating meat, you meant roosters?"

Wu Yue nodded: "Yes, we'll definitely catch them all when we catch them. We'll fatten them up and then kill them to eat. Chicken is delicious!"

As she said this, she couldn't help but swallow.

The females also felt a craving in their stomachs, wishing they could go to Wuyue's chicken coop right now, grab a rooster, kill it, and eat it.

"If anyone wants to raise chickens, they can ask me anytime, or they can ask the slaves who raise chickens for me."

The females were more accepting of asking Wu Yue, but they felt somewhat ashamed to ask the slaves, who were of lowly status.

"By the way, all the chickens went out of their coop just now, but one chicken has been lying in its nest without moving. Is it sick?"

Wu Yue scratched her head, somewhat stunned: "There's still one chicken that hasn't gone out?"

The other females looked at her with a hint of speechlessness in their eyes. What were you thinking?

Wu Yue chuckled twice and waved to the slave who was cleaning the chicken coop: "Grandma said there's still one chicken in the coop that hasn't gone out. Is it sick?"

If it's an illness, it should be treated; otherwise, it might infect others.

Upon hearing this, the slave's dark face broke into a wide smile: "That hen is incubating her chicks."

Wu Yue slapped her forehead; she had completely forgotten such an important thing.

"Some of these eggs can hatch into chicks, and then we will be able to get more chicks."

After showing the females around her small breeding grounds, Wu Yue finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Grandma Flower Tree plopped down next to her: "There's a trade fair in the fall. Is there anything you'd like to trade, Yue?"

Wu Yue was taken aback: "A trade fair? Is it the trade fair in the Polar Forest?"

Grandma Huashu nodded: "Because many of our tribes are located in different territories, they need different things. The trade fair was jointly initiated by the four major tribes."

Everyone brings out the best things from their tribe to demonstrate their tribe's strength.

"Only large tribes?"

Grandma Huashu shook her head: "There are many small and medium-sized tribes, but they are all very close to the trade fair venue."

Small and medium-sized tribes are weak and powerless; they don't even know if they can get back after crossing the forest.

Grandma Huashu had just talked about the trade fair at noon, and in the afternoon Wuyue was summoned by Wu.

Do you know about the trade fair?

Wu Yue was taken aback upon hearing this, then nodded and said, "I know, Grandma Huashu already told me."

Snow Tiger Witch nodded: "There are three most important things at the trade fair."

First, we need to bring items selected from the tribe that can demonstrate the tribe's powerful combat capabilities.

The second thing is about salt.

"salt?"

Wu Yue looked up at Xue Hu Wu: "Could there be salt trading at the trade fair?"

"This salt was given by our three tribes to share with the surrounding tribes."

But they need to trade food or animal hides.

One last thing…

He looked at Wu Yue: "Because we still need to go to exchange salt, we need to hand over crystal cores to the large tribes along the salt exchange route."

They will send people to collect the crystal cores, and this year they are asking for even more.

Moreover, among the tribes that came to collect the crystal core were orcs from the Poison Scorpion tribe, but it was uncertain whether the sorcerer would return.

Upon hearing the witch mention the sorcerer, Wu Yue frowned.

She really didn't want to deal with those insects, and secretly rejoiced that she had already established a good relationship with the leader. If she encountered that sorcerer, she had to be careful that he wouldn't launch a sneak attack.

The thought of being caught by that guy and fed to insects made Wu Yue instantly feel terrible.

But then she suddenly realized something and looked at the shaman opposite her: "What you mean by that is..."

The shaman smiled wryly: "This year's trade fair will be held in our tribe."

Wu Yue was taken aback, and her expression turned sour. How could she have let someone into her tribe?
Snow Tiger Shaman looked at her: "In autumn, fruits ripen and prey becomes plump. Everyone takes advantage of this time to come and exchange, and then they go back to hunt to prepare food and store up fat."

Accumulating fat…

It's to increase the chances of surviving the cold season.

She didn't know how many harvests of taro she could grow, since she had no idea how long it would take for taro to mature.

However, if you ask Tongzi, you still need to use points to purchase them.

"Witch, during the trade fair, what items are most popular among the various tribes?"

Snow Tiger Witch laughed and said, "Food and animal hides are of course preferred, but some sharp bone knives or exquisite ornaments are also very popular."

Wu Yue nodded: "So what do you all use to exchange?"

"They mostly trade food or animal hides, but here you need to be especially careful of a tribe called Rock Salt."

Rock Salt Tribe? That name sounds really strange.

"This name sounds... does their tribe have a lot of salt?"

The shaman gave her an approving look and said, "You guessed right. This rock salt tribe has a lot of salt, but they never exchange their salt with tribes outside the Crimson Flame Plain."

They would only occasionally see something they liked at a trade fair, and then trade it for salt.

Wu Yue pouted: "Our tribe already has a lot of salt. If they trade salt for it, they definitely won't give us much. If they do that, we'll be at a great disadvantage."

Wu laughed and said, "That's what I wanted to say. The Rock Salt Tribe acts very domineeringly because they occupy the salt mines of the Crimson Flame Plain."

Whenever a tribe displeases them, they resort to violence, but because the four tribes of our polar forest are so united, they have never gained the upper hand.

Hearing Wu say these things, Wu Yue instantly felt a great disgust for the words "Crimson Flame Plain": "What's so great about it? When you come, I'll show you what real greatness is."

After receiving a basic introductory lesson from the shaman, Wu Yue finally emerged from the cave, looking rather dejected. In the days that followed, the females began catching chickens in groups, and the tribe instantly became lively.

This is nothing short of chaos and disorder.

"Host, the mission with the Iron Pincers from last time is not yet complete!"

Wu Yue, who had just been lying on her own stone bed, froze upon hearing this. Damn it!
I completely forgot about this task.

He immediately groaned with a bitter face, "What should I do? I forgot about this. Now that the rainy season is over, where am I going to find so many iron-pincer bugs to kill?"

Seeing the host's miserable expression, the system couldn't help but sigh: "I guess I have no choice but to give up."

Wu Yue bit the corner of the animal skin blanket and looked at Tongzi longingly: "But I want that backpack."

I carry that basket on my back every day, and it's heavy with not much stuff, so I can't carry many things with me.

After a moment of contemplation, Tongzi said, "The mission shows that the current kill count is 8654, and the host has also successfully treated those tribesmen who were pinched by the iron pincers."

so…"

Wu Yue: "..."

I've been listening intently, and this is what you show me?
Immediately afterwards, the sound of a calculator being tapped rang out, followed by the system's voice: "As long as you add another 150 points, you can still get the rewards in addition to the points."

Wu Yue secretly counted on her fingers. If she were to make up for those 150 points, plus the task reward points, the loss would be too great.

My heart aches beyond measure.

"System, are there any backpacks available for purchase in the system shop if they don't fill up completely?"

Seeing the host's expression of pain in his heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys, the system's lips twitched violently. The host really was a miserly tightwad.

She was immediately granted her wish by opening the system shop, but the daily necessities page couldn't even fill the few zeros at the back of her backpack, completely extinguishing Wu Yue's desire to buy anything.

"Exchange it."

Damn it, she didn't know if it was just her imagination, but she always felt that what she possessed wasn't some kind of cheat code, but rather a piece of junk that kept throwing her curveballs.

Having overheard his host's thoughts, the system stumbled: "Host, I think that as a system for a lazy and fussy host, you've already done a pretty good job."

However, for Wu Yue, who had just lost a huge number of points, these words were simply not enough to heal her heartbreak.

"boom!"

Too lazy to pay attention to the whining host anymore, the system threw the incomplete backpack it had redeemed onto the stone bed and then went to sleep with its back to the host.

Looking at the green crossbody bag in front of her, Wu Yue instantly thought of the green-clad members of the Poison Scorpion Tribe.

He immediately reached out and grabbed the hind leg of the tube: "Get up! I strongly request a different color."

What the hell is she trying to say by giving her a green backpack?

Tongzi looked up groggily: "It's just a backpack, colors and stuff are just for matching, as long as it's practical... damn it!"

Why this color?

Seeing that the blue chubby boy also looked bewildered, Wu Yue said speechlessly, "This wasn't what you chose?"

Tongzi looked at Wu Yue with an expression that seemed to say, "How dare you doubt my taste?" and said, "Am I such a tasteless person as Tongzi?"

"Can it be exchanged?"

Tongzi's throat was a little dry: "No returns or exchanges."

The two looked at the bright green backpack, their expressions somewhat complicated...

In the eyes of the system, I, who am beautiful, cute, kind, and intelligent, am only fit to carry such a green handbag.
Every time the dog host uttered a word, Tongzi's chubby butt would scoot back a little. When Wu Yue finished speaking and looked up, Tongzi had already scooted to the corner of the stone bed with a look of disgust.

It buried its round head in its two fat paws, pretending not to recognize her.

Wu Yue sneered: "You used my points and slept in my bed, isn't it a little too late to pretend you don't know me now?"

The blue chubby creature shuddered, slowly raising its head. A fawning smile graced its furry little face: "I just feel a little ashamed in the face of such a beautiful, cute, kind, and intelligent host, hehe!"

Wu Yue nodded: "It's good that you know. In order to be worthy of such an excellent host as me, you also need to work hard."

As he spoke, he solemnly patted Tongzi's round, chubby bottom.

Then he lay down, clutching his green crossbody bag.

With only his buttocks still numb from the pain, Tongzi sat in the corner, sobbing with tears in his eyes. "Dog host, did you have to be so cruel?"

The next morning, Wu Yue wrapped her green backpack with animal hide before carrying it out of the cave with peace of mind.

"Host, you are really too extravagant. You are struggling to make ends meet, yet you are carrying a fur bag."

The system's rants are never late.

Wu Yue shivered involuntarily: "Tongzi, you're so cold!"

System: "."

Is it easy to liven up the atmosphere early in the morning?
At this moment, Yuan Lang, who had just returned to the cave after finishing his exercise, looked at some yellow particles on the ground with some confusion and muttered to himself, "I don't think these were here when we dug the cave?"

Could some insects have gotten in? As soon as I said that, I felt a chill run down my spine.

He walked straight out of the cave, and a moment later returned with a torch, warming every corner of the cave before he felt at ease.

Then, as if remembering something, he turned around and came to the entrance of Wu Yue's cave: "Yue, are you awake?"

Wu Yue was chatting away with Tongzi when she heard Yuan Lang's voice. She patted Tongzi's chubby bottom and then walked happily towards the cave entrance: "Hey, what's up?"

Yuan Lang frowned: "Are there strange yellow particles in your cave?"

Wu Yue turned her head in confusion and looked around her cave: "There are no strange yellow particles."

“There are a lot of strange yellow particles on the floor of my cave. I’m pretty sure I didn’t see them when I was digging the cave before.”

Wu Yue pointed to the torch in his hand: "So you used the torch to heat up the cave?"

She looked at the tall, handsome orc warrior in front of her with amusement: "Are you afraid of bugs?"

Upon hearing this, Yuan Lang's body stiffened abruptly, his dark eyebrows raised high, and a hint of embarrassment flashed clearly in his eyes: "Just kidding, cough!"

Seemingly realizing that his reaction was a bit too strong, he quickly coughed and said, "I was just trying to prevent that sorcerer from using Gu worms again."

"Since you don't have any of those yellow particles here, I'll be going now."

No way! How could a great general of a nation be afraid of such tiny things as insects!

Hehe, I'll crush one if one comes, and a whole bunch if one comes.
With a shake of its tall body, it decided to abandon the group.
Wu Yue chuckled mischievously as she saw off the somewhat disheveled orc warrior, then turned and walked into the cave.

But the next moment, a crisp sound, as if something had been crushed, came from beneath his feet.
