Bringing a System to the Beast World

Chapter 509 So Busy!

Chief Dongsang smiled slightly: "I hope Lord Wuyue can help us secure a spot in next year's competition."

Wu Yue sighed inwardly, "Just as I thought."

Before she could speak, Chief Maji burst out laughing triumphantly: "Chief Dongsang, you're too late. I've already arranged the competition spot for next year with Lord Wuyue."

"Then we'll have to wait until next year."

A hint of disappointment flashed across the eyes of the Dongsang clan chief before he spoke calmly.

Wu Yue raised an eyebrow: "If we can secure a spot this year, we will naturally help the two clan leaders for the next two years."

Maji and Chief Dongsang exchanged a glance and laughed in unison, "As long as you can hold off that witch doctor from the Wuke tribe, the rest can be left to your tribe and us."

After all the people from the two tribes had left, Teng Qian walked in with a wrinkled face, clutching the last two cornbreads.

"That shameless guy, Brun, even swiped three tortillas from me when he left."

Wu Yue and Yuan Lang recounted the matters discussed by the three tribes to Teng Qian, only to see him frown: "So, does that mean we'll have to come back to this forest for the next two years?"

"Yes."

Yuan Lang raised his hand and tapped his henchman on the back of the head: "If we can't get a spot this time, it won't just be the next two years."

Wu Yue smiled, got up and walked towards her cave: "I'm going back to rest first. The trade fair is tomorrow, so you should all go to bed early too."

The two orcs nodded in unison.

"Boss, what should we do with that jinxed princess? Should I go?"

The usually goofy orc warrior's face, which was always smiling, was now covered in frost. He swept his large, fan-like hand across his neck, and a murderous intent surged in his eyes.

'Snapped! '

With his long, slender hand, Yuan Lang picked up a thick piece of firewood and threw it into the fire. His deep eyes grew even darker: "Now is not the time to make a move. Do you think that Chief Uk and the few controlled orcs around her are just for show?"

"This woman is so annoying. She used to act recklessly because she was a princess, and now that we're here, she's still chasing after us. She's like a persistent ghost."

Yuan Lang chuckled and stood up, bending slightly to pat his shoulder: "Go to sleep. If you want to kill someone, you can always find an opportunity."

After saying that, his tall and imposing figure walked straight out, and his deep, magnetic voice came from the cave entrance: "I will be on guard today."

Teng Qian walked back to his grass nest and lay down, then raised his hand to touch his cheek: "I'm still the best looking guy. Is this what Yue once said about being safe looking?"

"Tsk tsk, acting like a big shot, getting involved with a woman who's been chasing him for two lifetimes, that's terrifying."

The next morning, Teng Qian, who got up very early, was conscripted by his eldest son to go out hunting a whole wild boar.

"There are so many wild boars around here. If there were just as many wild boars in the tribe's territory, we could have plenty of cured meat to eat in the winter."

Yuan Lang stepped forward and picked up one of the wild boar's hind legs, looking as relaxed as if he were holding a small pheasant: "I'll go process the prey, you go and cook some porridge with cornmeal."

Corn porridge!
Teng Qian swallowed hard, he loved this stuff, the sweet taste was wonderful.

They responded cheerfully and busied themselves lighting the fire and tending the pot.

"If you don't work hard when you're young, you'll regret it when you're old~ If you don't work hard, you'll be chased by dogs later~"

Wu Yue, still immersed in the arms of the handsome man, was about to listen to the man's strong heartbeat and was drooling over his well-defined abs when the powerful heartbeat in her ear turned into a series of jarring readings.

Moreover, the piercing sound was very familiar; it was clearly from my own damn system.

The handsome man in her dream vanished, and Wu Yue opened her eyes with regret: "What are you yelling about so early in the morning?"

The system's hand holding the book trembled: "Host, today is the first day of the transaction. Have you forgotten your mission? Should we go out and do something reckless?"

Wu Yue then remembered that she still had a dreadful task to complete, and immediately let out a groan as she lay back down: "Life...so busy!"

"Host, your life is anything but aimless. Our goal is to court death, complete the mission, and get rewards and points. Perfect!"

Two short, stubby little fingers spread out in a very alluring V-shape to the sides.

Wu Yue glanced disdainfully at the short and stocky little system: "I meant 'busy,' the 'busy' in 'busy'! With you around, I can't take good care of myself."

After saying that, he stood up on the straw mat on the ground, picked up the new clothes that had been prepared yesterday and put them on, tidied his messy hair, yawned and walked outside.

"Yue, you're awake? Why are you up so early today?"

Teng Qian was busy stirring the corn porridge in the pot, and a familiar sweet aroma wafted out.

Wu Yue wiped away the tears welling up in her eyes: "Isn't today the first day of the opportunity? So I thought I'd go there early so that the good stuff wouldn't all be traded away by other tribes."

Teng Qian waved his hand dismissively: "There wasn't anything good in the past few days. The previous days were just some small and medium-sized tribes going to several large tribes to exchange for salt and processed soft animal hides. We don't need them."

After the three of them finished their meal at a leisurely pace, they walked towards the open space in front of the mountain wall where the gathering was taking place, as if to digest their food.

The open space was no longer as empty as it had been a few days ago; it was now filled with small stalls, especially the stalls of the three major tribes, which were surrounded by people.

At first glance, you can't see anyone inside.

"There are too many people," Wu Yue couldn't help but sigh.

“Salt is needed by every tribe in the forest, so each gathering is the only opportunity for us small and medium-sized tribes to exchange for salt.”

A strange male voice came from a nearby stall. The speaker was a very strong-looking male, but to Wu Yue's surprise, two very sharp teeth extended from the corners of his mouth.

"Greetings, Lord Wuyue!"

The orc bowed respectfully to Wu Yue. "Who are you?"

Of all the orc warriors Wu Yue had seen, apart from some differences in hair color, they looked no different from humans in their orc form. This particular orc warrior, however, still had his fangs sticking out even in his orc form, which was quite rare.

The orc scratched his head sheepishly: "I am the chieftain of the Boar Tribe. You can just call me Tusk."

Wu Yue glanced at the other person's very prominent long teeth with a twitching mouth; the name was quite apt.

The Boar Tribe is not a tribe in the forest on this side of the river, but came from the other side. Because their tribe lives on the territory of the Vine Tribe, every year when the Vine Tribe sends several tribesmen here to trade, everyone will fight over them.

Because the forest is rich in precious herbs and animal hides favored by witches and females, especially snow beast hides.

If they could exchange some items here and take them back to the other side of the forest, and then exchange them at a high price with other tribes, they would also be able to gain a lot.

“We come from the forest on the other side of the river. If you have any valuable medicinal herbs or animal hides you would like to exchange, you can come to our tribe’s location.”

He pointed to the stall behind him and said, "Of course, we also have many items here that we brought with us. You can take a look and see if there's anything you need. I'll give it to you."

Last winter was cold and long, and many small and medium-sized tribes did not survive it.

Our tribe is skilled at cultivating certain plants, so we can harvest enough food before winter each year, instead of always relying on hunting. Therefore, except for one elderly person who froze to death, everyone survived the winter.

Fang enthusiastically recounted the story of his tribe, allowing Wu Yue to once again understand the enormous impact of last winter's heavy snow and the prolonged winter on various tribes.

"So our tribe brought the most items to this gathering. If you want to exchange items, we won't shortchange you a handful of salt."

Wu Yue glanced at the seemingly honest but actually very shrewd chieftain of the Fang Boar tribe, smiled and nodded: "I didn't bring anything with me, I just came to take a look first."

After saying that, he squatted down and began to examine the items at the Boar Tribe's stall.

Bundles of wilted herbs were casually placed, and piles of slightly drooping wild fruits were separated. Most eye-catching were the various animal hides placed at the edge, each as tall as an orc.

Moreover, the animal hides were all soft and drooping, clearly processed to be soft and comfortable.

Like the tribes in the polar forests of the past, the way they process animal hides is still simple: scrape off the bits of meat, wash them clean, dry them, and then make them into animal hide clothes to wear.

Therefore, such treated, high-grade animal hides are very popular in forests like theirs.

Moreover, these animal hides are all complete animal hides, with only a few being made up of pieces of small animal hides pieced together.

"These large, whole animal hides require more salt, while hides made from smaller animal hides only need two handfuls of salt."

Wu Yue was capable of handling soft animal hides herself, so she naturally had no desire for them. However, she still carefully examined the large, whole animal hides.

He selected three hides with pure fur and no blemishes, gesturing for the fangs beside him to take them out: "I'll take these three hides. What do you need?"

Fang looked at the three perfectly shaped animal hides with a pained expression, but his smile grew even brighter: "I only need to accept the items in exchange for two animal hides. For each hide, give me ten handfuls of salt, and I'll give you twenty handfuls of salt in return."

Wu Yue turned her head to look at the burly orc beside her: "Brother Yuan Lang, take the porcelain bottle out of my basket."

The orc was too tall; Wu Yue couldn't reach him even on tiptoe. She just smiled and asked Yuan Lang for help.

As she spoke, she gave him a subtle look, but continued, "The blue one."

Yuan Lang understood immediately; the little female must have been moved directly from that place called "space" into the basket on his back.

The small blue porcelain bottle appeared even more lustrous under the sunlight, causing the other members of the Fang and Fangboar tribe to stare in astonishment.

Their Tusked Boar tribe was a very powerful branch within the Vine tribe's protected tribes. The Tusked Chieftain was a boar with a wealth of knowledge, but he had never seen such a beautiful item before.

If you give this item called a porcelain bottle to the Teng tribe, you will definitely be able to get a lot of food and animal hides in return, and maybe even expand your territory.

"This porcelain bottle contains three pills that I have prepared specifically for treating fever. As long as a person with a fever takes one pill, they will recover the next day after just one night's sleep."

If it's for cubs, half is enough.

Fang's hand holding the porcelain bottle trembled, and he looked up at Wu Yue in disbelief: "Medicine, medicine?"

So what they were given was not a precious porcelain bottle, but three pills inside it?

Fang's ecstatic face instantly wilted. As for pills, the Teng tribe had shamans and great shamans. When they treated people, as long as they brought enough food, the shaman could even come to the tribe in person to treat the people.

The pills were of no use to them.

Wu Yue nodded: "Yes, put it away. It's better to keep the pills in a porcelain bottle. Be careful not to bump into it, or the bottle will break."

After saying that, he glanced at the three animal hides in Teng Qian's hand and asked, "Shall we be leaving now?"

Fang snapped out of his euphoria and quickly stuffed the porcelain bottle into his pocket. He bent down and picked up a few thick, black rootlets from his stall: "These are rootlets grown by our tribe. They taste sweet. Take some back and try them."

Yuan Lang reached out and took it from her. Wu Yue nodded to the Fang Clan Chief and then turned to continue walking towards the other stalls.

"Chieftain, that wizard actually gave us a precious porcelain bottle!"

Fang excitedly stroked his chest, his movements rather lewd: "Hehe, even if we don't get the precious herbs and snow beast hides this time, we can still exchange for a lot of items."

Wu Yue was unaware of the excitement of the fanged boar tribe. At that moment, she was standing with Yuan Lang and Teng Qian at a small stall that hardly anyone frequented.

The owners of this small stall were a few middle-aged men. When they saw Lord Wuyue, who was already famous at the gathering place, they were so frightened that they knelt on the ground and trembled.

Several thin, wiry people trembled pitifully. Wu Yue said helplessly, "Get up. I really like the stones on your stall. What do you need?"

The male kneeling in the middle raised his head upon hearing this: "Respected Lord Wuyue, if you fancy these stones, all you need to do is give us a wild beast's leg."

Wu Yue frowned as she looked at the few males, feeling very strange. Although the people at the surrounding stalls were very respectful to him, only they were so afraid. Could it be that she had done something to them before?
"Oh! Is the esteemed Lord Wuyue bullying a poor vagrant here over a few broken stones?"
