Bringing a System to the Beast World

Chapter 375 A Gentle Smile

The scorpion orc captain took the 'stone' handed to him by the grumpy orc, examined it closely for a long time, and finally his eyes lit up: "This..."

He turned and went to the wall, pressing the 'stone' in his hand against it. After a moment, his eyes gleamed: "This is the stone the Snow Tiger tribe uses to build houses?"

The grumpy orc chuckled and nodded: "I had a hard time stealing this. The Snow Tiger Tribe keeps these stones very well preserved and doesn't let us touch them."

"Made?"

The Poison Scorpion Orc Captain looked surprised.

Aren't all stones collected? Isn't this kind of stone collected and then polished?
The grumpy orc nodded: "I'm pretty sure. I was gathering stones again when I was crouching in the bushes and passed by some Snow Tiger tribesmen. They told me that if I wanted to build a house, I would have to go back and make this thing called bricks myself."

The scorpion orc captain crept up to the irritable orc: "Do you know how to get this kind of stone?"

The grumpy orc glanced at him: "What are you thinking? You were captured as soon as you entered the Snow Tiger Tribe, and you still want to learn their stone-making method? You have no idea how ferocious that little female is."

Those who seem all smiles every day are actually the most terrifying.

Finally, the two beasts put aside the method of stealing bricks and instead studied the terrifying aspects of Wu Yue for half the night.

The Snow Tiger Tribe was as lively as ever on the second day. After finishing her food, Wu Yue started thinking about the salt that the Rock Salt Tribe had brought, her eyes darting around.

"Host, what mischief are you plotting now?"

The system, with its two chubby paws, gnawed on a rock bigger than its own head, making a crunching sound. As it chewed, it moved its fat buttocks back a few steps away from its host with bad intentions.

Seeing him looking like he wanted to be 800 meters away from her, Wu Yue chuckled mischievously and walked towards him: "My dear system, why are you so far away from me? Aren't I your most beloved host?"

Tongzi Xiaomao's face stiffened: "The way you're smiling makes me feel like you're planning to do something bad to me."

Wu Yue gave him a disdainful look: "With your kitten-like appearance right now, what other thoughts could I possibly have about you? You're overthinking it."

Tongzi angrily finished chewing on the rock in his hand and was about to stand up when he felt the flesh on his bottom tremble a few times, and his chubby face immediately looked a little ugly.

Looking dejectedly at its host who was still picking wild vegetables, it hopped listlessly to Wu Yue's feet and scratched her animal-hide boots with its little paws: "Dear host."

Hearing her master's disgusting shouts, Wu Yue's skin crawled with goosebumps, and she looked down at him with disgust: "Speak properly."

Tongzi said with a sad expression, "Do you think I've gained weight again recently?"

Wu Yue looked down at Tongzi for a moment, then said in a serious tone, "Where are you fat? You're skin and bones."

Hearing his host say this, the guilt he felt from eating a large chunk of rock instantly vanished, and he was overjoyed: "Really?"

The host nodded very confidently: "Yeah, it's just that the skin is a bit thick."

System: "."

He was so naive to believe that a dog's host could produce ivory.

"Wu Yue!" The two were drooling when Xue Hu Wu's voice suddenly came from outside the door. Because he could lower his voice, it didn't sound like he was there to do anything serious.

Thinking this, Wu Yue's lips twitched. Ever since the house was built, the Snow Tiger Witch had been running wildly down the path of despicable behavior.

"I'm inside, please come in."

As soon as she finished speaking, the door was pushed open, and two orc warriors followed Snow Tiger Witch in, each carrying a basket on their backs.

Seeing this, Wu Yue was speechless. So why did you look like you were about to steal chickens from my house? Weren't there two orc warriors following behind you?

Snow Tiger Witch chuckled, his wrinkles blooming like a chrysanthemum: "Moon, did you eat the clod of dirt you traded with that dirt maker last time?"

Wu Yue was taken aback, then her expression turned somewhat awkward. Could she say that she had already forgotten?
"I put it in the warehouse and then forgot about it."

As he spoke, he scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly.

"I knew you'd forgotten. I've been waiting for days, but the delicious food made from these clods of dirt hasn't appeared. So, while those old guys were at the trading post, I ditched them and sneaked over here."

As he spoke, he proudly puffed out his chest, looking very pleased with himself.

Wu Yue was speechless. You abandoned your good brother to eat alone and you still have the nerve to show off?
Snow Tiger Witch, of course, was unaware of Wu Yue's thoughts. He waved his hand, signaling the two orc warriors to put their baskets on the ground: "These are the clods of dirt that were given to me. I don't know how to eat them. You can make them into something delicious so we can eat them together."

The shameless Snow Tiger Witch looked at Wu Yue with a smile, as if to say, "I'll provide the food, you provide the labor, and everyone is being fair."

Potatoes are easy to cook into delicious food, and Wu Yue herself had her own idea, so she naturally agreed to Xue Hu Wu's suggestion.

However, she added one condition: the food made from clods of earth must be prepared in the square of the trading area.

Snow Tiger Witch's old face immediately darkened. He had finally shaken off those sticky old guys. If Wu Yue went to the trading area to make food, wouldn't those old guys find out too?
"Can't we just cook something delicious at home? Why do we have to go to the trading place to cook it?"

Can Snow Tiger Witch say that she wants to eat alone?
Of course, they wouldn't admit it, but their eyes clearly conveyed that message.

Wu Yue found it amusing: "Don't worry, I'll bring some clods of dirt with me when I go, but before that... hehe."

Looking at the little female's cunning smile, Snow Tiger Witch had a bad feeling.
After a while, Snow Tiger Witch, sitting on a small stool washing away clods of dirt, felt a little doubtful about life.

He, the dignified shaman of the Snow Tiger tribe, was actually taken advantage of by a mere female!
But seeing the two orc warriors peeling the skin off the clods of earth and Wu Yue cutting them into small cubes, he felt a little better. At least his job was the easiest.

After washing and chopping all the necessary clods of earth and side dishes, and slicing the meat into thin, even pieces, the group carried their pots and pans toward the trading place.

Finding a more spacious spot, the two orc warriors set up a simple stove. Next to the stove, they moved a large wooden table with many stone bowls on it.

Orc warriors from various surrounding tribes, seeing their strange behavior, gathered around out of curiosity.

"What are the Snow Tiger Tribe talking about?" "I don't know, but it looks like they're preparing food."

Speaking of food, everyone unconsciously thought of the delicious food they ate during the trade fair's sacrificial ceremony, the kind of deliciousness that made them want to swallow their tongues. They hadn't tasted it since the ceremony.

So much so that people attending the trade fair have found the food tasteless these past few days.

Seeing Wu Yue and the others setting up the stone pot, a sense of anticipation immediately rose in their hearts.

The large stone pot heated up under the flames, and Wu Yue poured the chopped fatty meat directly into it. The moment the red and white meat was poured into the pot, accompanied by the sizzling sound of the meat touching the hot pot, a fragrant aroma of stir-fried meat instantly filled the open space.

The eyes of the people from the surrounding tribes seemed glued to the stone pot, and they swallowed hard.

I ate this morning, but I feel like I can still eat this whole stone pot of food.

The fatty meat tumbled in the stone pot, slowly releasing clear oil. Wu Yue pointed to the sliced ​​meat beside her, signaling the orc warrior to pour it in.

The sizzling sound of the frying oil over the meat slices grew even louder.

After stir-frying for a while, she began to pour the prepared side dishes into the stone pot. As the meat slices were stir-fried in the stone pot, an even richer aroma wafted out.

Finally, Wu Yue waved again, and the orc warrior, who had already swallowed a lot of saliva, poured half a basket of clods of dirt into the stone pot.

The peeled clods of earth are slightly yellowish. When poured into the stone pot, they are mixed with slices of meat and previously seasoned side dishes, making them look very appealing.

After stirring for a moment, Wu Yue looked at the orc warrior and said, "Pour water."

A whole bucket of water was poured into the stone pot, leveling it perfectly with the food inside. The wooden lid was then placed on top, and Wu Yue wiped the sweat from her brow, smiling as she looked at Xuehu Wu and said, "Alright, now we just wait to eat."

As the water in the pot boiled, the food inside began to simmer, and an incredibly enticing aroma wafted through the open space.

The news that the Snow Tiger tribe's shaman disciples were preparing delicious food for the Snow Tiger shaman spread like wildfire throughout the trading area.

People from all over the trading area crowded around, originally wanting to see the shaman disciple's disastrous performance. However, after smelling the enticing aroma wafting through the air, their mouths watered uncontrollably, like a torrential downpour during the rainy season.

Meanwhile, the Flying Eagle Witch, the Black Wolf Witch, and the Mad Lion Witch had already followed the scent and were now sitting around the wooden table, accusing the Snow Tiger Witch of being unfair in hoarding the food.

Snow Tiger Witch looked at the wrinkled faces of the three old men and snorted inwardly.

I won't argue with them. Anyway, the three old guys are about to leave and go back to their tribe. Once they're gone, if I want to eat something, I can just ask Wu Yue to make it for me.
Thinking about it this way, the slight worry on my face disappeared, and I felt refreshed.

Judging that the time was about right, he signaled to the orc warriors to lift the lid of the pot. The aroma that wafted out, accompanied by billowing white steam, instantly captivated the hearts of those around them.

If the situation weren't so bad, I would have loved to snatch this stone pot away from me.

After adding a suitable amount of salt, reduce the sauce over high heat, and this pot of potato and pork stew is ready.

Seeing this, the four shamans became even more proactive. Before Wu Yue could speak, four stone bowls, each larger than their own heads, were already thrust in front of her.

Looking at the four wrinkled but still smiling faces of the witches, Wu Yue could only wave her spoon and serve the four big shots a mountain of food.

The four left satisfied, carrying the fragrant food. Wu Yue then looked at the tribespeople participating in the trade fair and said, "I made quite a lot of food today. If you want some, you can come and trade."

The crowd instantly erupted in agitation.

"What will we exchange it for?"

No sooner had she finished speaking than one of the orcs who had been eyeing her for a long time asked a question.

Wu Yue looked in the direction of the voice and saw that it was the orc captain of the Poison Scorpion tribe.

Seeing her look over, for some reason, the scorpion orc captain, who had been brainwashed by the irritable orc all night, actually showed a very ingratiating smile.

Wu Yue's face stiffened. Did this guy have some serious illness?
However, guests who come to our door should be treated well. Wu Yue smiled and said, "I'm willing to exchange anything, but only if it's something I need. Animal hides and salt would be even better."

The Poison Scorpion Orc captain immediately pulled out a large animal hide, almost half his height, from one of his tribesmen behind him, exclaiming, "How about we exchange this hide?"

Wu Yue grinned, revealing her small white teeth, and said with a very honest and simple smile, "Two bowls of food."

As soon as she finished speaking, a collective gasp filled the air.

Such a large saber-toothed tiger hide could only be exchanged for two bowls of food, and
Everyone looked at the stone bowl on the table. Unlike the stone bowl that the four shamans had just held, which was bigger than the little female's head, this stone bowl was only the size of an orc's palm and was not very deep.

Wu Yue immediately looked at the orc captain of the Poison Scorpion Tribe with a strange expression; in her opinion, it was the look of someone looking at a sucker.

But would the wealthy Scorpion Tribe care?
Of course not. They simply pulled out enough animal hides from the small mountain of animal hides behind them, and then each animal was given a bowl of potato stew with sliced ​​meat. They stood around the wooden table and began to wolf down their food.

The rice looked like it hadn't eaten anything for a year.

How much can a small, shallow stone bowl, no bigger than the palm of your hand, hold?
There wasn't much, of course, but the Scorpion Tribe exchanged over a dozen animal hides for this food. Although it wasn't even enough to fill their teeth, they couldn't continue exchanging.

"I never expected that the shaman disciples of the Snow Tiger tribe could make such delicious food. They are much more useful than the slaves in our tribe."

A gentle female voice rang out from outside the crowd, and the tribesmen who had formed a circle made way for her, and the rock salt tribe's shaman walked in, surrounded by her people.

Although we always complain that this guy looks like a monkey, we have to admit that his muscular physique is exactly the type that males in this world like.

The rock salt tribe's shaman walked to the stone pot, glanced at the food inside, sniffed lightly, and chuckled, "It smells really good. Give me a few bowls too."

The way he looked at me, as if he was handing me a prepared meal, was really annoying.

Wu Yue's lips curved into a smile even gentler than the rock salt tribe's witch. Seeing this smile, the irritable orc beside her trembled, nearly dropping his stone bowl.
