Bringing a System to the Beast World

Chapter 366 Dividing Taro

With this thought, the tribespeople were instantly excited, their eyes shining as they looked at the taro plants that hadn't yet been dug up.

The way he looked at the slaves changed, and a smile appeared on his face.

These taro plants are all cared for by these slaves. If they want to grow taro at home, they will definitely need to ask these slaves for advice on some planting issues in the future.

Thinking this way, his gaze towards them became even kinder, and his usual haughty demeanor was nowhere to be seen.

Seeing everyone's compliant and changeable attitude, something seemed to sprout in the hearts of the slaves, and the emotions they had long lost were slowly sprouting in their hearts.

Because not many were planted, the taro was harvested in just a few days.

The majority of the taro was given to the tribe, and Wu Yue distributed the remaining taro in half to the slaves, as previously agreed.

"From planting to maturity, taro only takes about a month and a half. According to the current time, it can be planted again in the summer."

Having gone through the planting process once, the slaves had memorized everything from seedling cultivation to planting, so May didn't need to worry about it at all.

At the request of the tribespeople, the chief distributed the taro that Wu Yue had handed over to the tribespeople.

What seemed like a lot of taro ended up being just a few pieces in the hands of each member of the tribe, so everyone cleared out a plot of land in their own yard to grow it.

Because they had never grown taro before and did not know how to cultivate seedlings and care for them, some clever tribesmen offered some food to the slaves for guidance.

After the taro was harvested, Wu Yue finally thought about the cellar problem. Now that everyone had their own yard, the cellar on the back hill was no longer very useful.

With the brick kiln in place, when Wu Yue built the cellar again, it was constructed entirely of bricks.

The top is made of thick wood beams, and the fired roof is sturdy and durable. Then, a layer of soil is added, and a beautiful and practical cellar is built.

Qingcao and Aya were delighted to see Wuyue's cellar and immediately pulled their families over to learn from it.

The next day, Wu Yue's cellar welcomed wave after wave of visitors, which made her both amused and exasperated.

"Yue, shall we go?" Yuan Lang's voice rang out in the courtyard. Upon hearing this, Wu Yue packed up a few cakes, then slung her basket over her shoulder and went out.

"I packed some food, hoping to gather everything I need."

Yuan Lang nodded and patted the huge basket on his chest: "I also brought a big one, so don't worry about not being able to fit it all."

After saying that, Yuan Lang transformed into a majestic and robust giant snow tiger and lay down in Wu Yue's courtyard: "Let's go."

Without any hesitation, Wu Yue flipped herself up and mounted the horse, and the two flew through the tribe into the forest.

After a devastating flood, they thought many small plants had disappeared, but to their surprise, all the plants that had been clinging to the bushes survived.

The two collected chili peppers, Sichuan peppercorns, green leaves, and some seasoning plants and put them into their baskets. Wu Yue planned to plant them in her yard.

"I'm going to cry! Yuan Lang, come here quickly!"

Wu Yue's exclamation rang out from the side.

Yuan Lang's lips twitched. When you call my name, can you please not add those words at the beginning?
Wu Yue turned her head and saw the orc looking at her with disgust: "What are you standing there for? Come here, there's something good!"

Rarely seeing her so excited, Yuan Lang suppressed his slight complaint and quickly walked over.

Just as she was about to ask what had caused her such a commotion, her own expression changed drastically the next moment.

Staring in disbelief at the things on the ground in front of him, his Adam's apple bobbed involuntarily: "Is this real?"

Wu Yue's face turned bright red as she nodded repeatedly, "That's right, that's it."

As a general, Yuan Lang had naturally seen ginseng before, but this ginseng, as thick as a beastman's arm, was truly the first time he had ever seen one.

I still remember the national treasure I took from the enemy's palace, which was only as thick as a baby's arm.

"I can't dig out a ginseng this big, so I'll leave it to you."

Wu Yue looked solemnly at the orc warrior beside her. She was somewhat weak, and with Ya Ya being so big, she really felt powerless to help her.

Yuan Lang nodded: "Leave it to me."

Wu Yue wasted no time. While Yuan Lang was digging for ginseng, she searched for wild vegetables or herbs in the surrounding area and put them into her small basket, intending to take them back to the tribe to plant.

"The moon has been dug out!"

Such a large ginseng root, without damaging its roots, would leave even a powerful orc warrior breathless.

just
Warrior Yuanlang, isn't it a bit too extravagant of you to use this precious ginseng as a walking stick?
He tossed the ginseng to Wu Yue: "Put it in your space. It's too conspicuous to bring it back like this."

Wu Yue nodded and waved her hand to put the ginseng inside.

"I've dug up most of it. The rest can be taken back by the females when we collect them later."

Upon hearing this, Yuan Lang nodded, stretched out his long arms, picked up Wu Yue, and ran towards the tribe.

It was noon when the two returned to the tribe. After transplanting the herbs, wild vegetables, and seasonings from their baskets to their small garden, Wu Yue hadn't even had time to wash her hands when she heard the shouts of orc warriors outside the yard.

"Moon! Go check on them! Those fireball beasts are sick. They keep banging their heads against the wall and they're bleeding from their heads."

Wu Yue and Yuan Lang exchanged a glance, quickly washed their hands, and then walked out the door.

It was indeed the orc warrior who had brought back the Fireball Beast last time. When he saw Wu Yue and the others, his face was full of anxiety.

Wu Yue nodded: "Don't rush, let's go take a look."

When the three arrived at the fireball beast enclosure, many tribesmen were already watching. The fireball beasts inside were banging against the walls and mooing, looking extremely pitiful.

Two orc warriors tried to control them, but they couldn't stop the little fireball beasts from self-harming.

"When did it become like this?"

The orc frowned and said, "It's been a few days, but it's only been rubbing against the wall. It hasn't been like today, constantly banging its head against the wall."

Wu Yue moved closer to the Fireball Beast enclosure and began to observe them carefully. After a moment, her gaze settled on the two sides of their foreheads, where there were two very inconspicuous bumps.

Thinking back to the adult Fireball Beasts I'd seen before, both male and female seemed to have a pair of very sharp, long horns.
"These little fireball beasts are going to grow horns."

The beastmen's anxious expressions froze for a moment, then they turned to look at the two small fireball beasts on either side of their foreheads, only then noticing the two almost negligible bumps.

Isn't this a little too subtle?
“It’s very painful when they grow horns, which is why they ram into the walls. Go back and find some animal hides, stack them together, and hang them on the wall so they won’t hurt their foreheads.”

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they learned that the little fireball beast was alright.

Time flies. After another bumper harvest of taro in the Snow Tiger Tribe, the tribespeople began a new round of planting. This time, everyone received more taro and began to cultivate their own fields around the tribe.

In order to regulate everyone's land use, the shaman and the clan chief made further provisions regarding the areas where fields were cultivated.

Such a neat and orderly tribal settlement should not be turned into a mess just to open up farmland.

Wu Yue busied herself setting up the inn and shops that had already been built.

The collected straw mats were laid on the kang (heated brick bed) in the room. In the summer, everyone wanted to strip naked and run around, so naturally there were no luxury items like animal skin blankets.

Even so, Wu Yue believed that such an inn would definitely allow outsiders to see the grandeur of the Snow Tiger Tribe's houses.

"Moon, isn't it a bit of a waste to give such houses to the orcs from the outer tribes?"

Looking at the clean and tidy little room, the grass nearby wished it were living there itself.

Because she doesn't have a partner yet, she lives with her parents. Owning her own little house has always been Qingcao's dream.

But all this girl does is eat all day long. If she's asked to save up enough bricks and tiles to build a house, she'll probably have to wait until she's middle-aged.

Wu Yue glanced at her sideways: "If people from outside Luo want to move in, they have to give me some items in return. What do I know about letting you stay here?"
You're definitely up to no good, trying to get a free stay. I know you too well.

Seeing through her little scheme, Qingcai chuckled awkwardly, "No way, I can help you with the work too."

Wu Yue, chuckle. Do you think I don't know what kind of person you are?
"Moon, the Black Wolf Tribe's trading caravan has arrived."

Aya came running over, panting, her little face full of excitement.

Just as excited as she was, the grass beside her asked, "Really? Where are we? Aren't you amazed by the houses in our tribe?"

As they talked, they quickened their pace toward the village entrance. Watching them disappear into the distance, Wu Yue felt utterly miserable.

Aya, what exactly are you here for?

Don't you have any conscience at all about leaving me here like this?
The two females were right; when the Black Wolf tribe's trading caravan arrived at the Snow Tiger tribe's camp, they were stunned!

What happened to our agreement to live together in a cave?
Sleeping in a tent when it's hot in the summer!
Aren't we four brothers from the polar forest, united and friendly?
Why did the Snow Tiger Tribe secretly develop behind our backs?

Rows of dazzlingly beautiful houses stood on both sides of a wide road, with members of the Snow Tiger Tribe coming and going in each courtyard. Moreover, it seemed that this level of activity was not reserved for orc warriors or half-orc warriors.

So, has the Snow Tiger Tribe surpassed the super tribes outside and achieved housing freedom?
The Black Wolf Witch, who vowed to capture the despicable witch of the Poison Scorpion Tribe and torment him a hundred times, also came to the trade fair with his tribe this time.

Upon hearing that the Black Wolf Witch had also arrived, the Snow Tiger Witch promptly put on his shoes and jumped off his kang (heated brick bed). He had to seize this excellent opportunity to show off.

So when the Black Wolf Witch, who looked as if he had eaten a basket of sour fruit, saw the Snow Tiger Witch running from afar, the smile on his face had long since vanished.

"You secretly built a house without telling us, is that really okay?"

Snow Tiger Witch chuckled, "I didn't build this house. The little brats in the tribe are amazing; they built it. I'm just living in it; otherwise, the little brats wouldn't be happy."

"Host, is this what the witch looks like—the legendary Versailles?"

Tongzi sat in Wuyue's lap, looking at the Snow Tiger Witch not far away, and kept pouting, her kitten face full of disgust.

Wu Yue chuckled to herself: "Yes, it's Versailles."

For some reason, hearing Snow Tiger Witch say that made Black Wolf Witch even more unhappy.

"Hehe, come on, come on, you can stay with me at this trade fair. I have a few empty rooms in my yard, enough for eagles and lions to stay as well."

After saying that, he looked at Wu Yue beside him and said, "Yue, you can make arrangements for the rest of the Black Wolf tribe members."

Wu Yue naturally understood what Xuehu Wu meant and nodded with a smile.

After the two shamans left, Wu Yue and the orc warriors of the Snow Tiger tribe led a group of Black Wolf tribe members toward the newly built inn.

"This is where you will stay during the trading period. Four people can stay in one room, but if you squeeze in, more can stay."

We have prepared five houses for each large tribe's trading party. If there are more than five houses, you will need to exchange goods.

The orc warriors of the Black Wolf tribe looked at each other in bewilderment. With five rooms, they could only accommodate half of them. What would happen to the rest?
"If you don't want to live in a house, you can also set up a tent. No items are needed to set up a tent."

The orc warriors of the Black Wolf tribe exchanged bewildered glances as they looked at the smiling little female before them.

Everyone wants to live in this comfortable-looking house, but handing over belongings...
"How much is required to pay for the items?" a middle-aged black wolf orc warrior asked.

Wu Yue's smile grew even brighter. The tribes inside the polar forest offer discounts. While tribes outside the forest require ten animal hides for a day's stay, our tribes inside the polar forest only need two.

As he spoke, he took a piece of animal hide from a Snow Tiger tribe orc warrior beside him and unfolded it; it was a complete animal hide of this size.

Looking at the saber-toothed tiger skin that was as tall as a small female, the orcs of the Black Wolf tribe felt utterly hopeless.

Calling you Snow Tiger Beastmen is an understatement; you're nothing but a bunch of black-hearted tigers.

The middle-aged Black Wolf tribe orc warrior's lips stiffened slightly: "Please lead our tribe's orc warriors to the place where the tents are set up."

Damn, you guys need two of these huge animal hides, and two chapters a day? Seriously, that's enough.

Wu Yue smiled and pointed to the large square in front of the inn: "That's it. You can go there and find a place to set up yourselves."

The two places are not far apart, but one is free and the other requires exchanging animal hides.
