Chapter 197 Sharing Delicious Fruit
Ling Yu's eyes lit up, and she excitedly grabbed Yue's hand, saying, "That's great! We really made a profit coming here!"

Yue was somewhat confused. He looked down at the bright eyes and radiant smile of the little female in front of him when she was happy, and he couldn't take his eyes off her.

How can this little female be so beautiful?

Throughout his life, he always believed that he was the most handsome and refined person in the world, but after meeting Ling Yu, he felt that she was the most beautiful person in the world.

I've long forgotten my time in the Violet tribe.

His aversion to females, those things seem like they happened in a past life, and thinking about them now still makes him feel a little sad.

"Take these fruits back with you and share them with your people."

Lingyu asked Yue to help her pick fruit.

The two of them picked a lot together and stored it in her spatial ring before continuing to wander around the island.

She saw beautiful caves, various rare and exotic plants, granite, volcanic rock, and some sulfurous substances.

They even found a small gold mine.

When Ling Yu saw Jinshan, she almost felt like she was dreaming. Her excited appearance made Yue even more suspicious of her.

"This is truly a wonderful place!"

Ling Yu stored the gold she had dug up in her spatial storage, and just touching and looking at it made her feel great.

There was no way around it; gold was just too expensive in my past life.

Seeing so much gold here, it would be a miracle if she didn't shovel it all up overnight—she's not greedy at all.

She'll dig it up slowly later.

However, when she saw the gold, she thought of something else: the tribe's internal system was becoming more and more mature, the population was growing, and this was the second time they had traded with the Kang tribe.

It seems we should produce some copper and silver coins and introduce the concept of a general equivalent.

There is a tradition of bartering among the beast tribes. For example, if the Kang tribe gives one pound of pork to its own tribe, then its own tribe will give two pounds of chicken in exchange.

As long as both parties agree that the value of the items exchanged is equal and the principle of fair exchange is followed, the transaction is considered successful.

Later, she provided technology in exchange for resources from the Kang tribe, which was, in a sense, a barter system.

A general equivalent can be understood as money, which is used to measure the value of an item.

Pork and chicken are not directly exchanged, but are measured in coins. Pork costs ten coins and chicken costs five coins. Coins are used to purchase the items each needs.

The advantage of this is that transactions are more convenient and the variety of items that can be exchanged is much wider.

After making up her mind, she planned to go back and discuss it with the beastmen so that it could be implemented.

The island wasn't very big; by the time the two of them finished exploring, the sun had already set and it was almost dark.

Ling Yu didn't plan to linger on the island, and the two quickly returned to shore.

The tribespeople are still busy making salt on the beach.

She and Yue found a cave nearby where they could stay, and took out the bedding, food, and other supplies they had prepared in advance from their backpacks.

When it was completely dark, Yue went to call everyone over to rest and eat.

The beach is still quite a distance from the village.

During this time, the tribespeople temporarily settled in the caves and continued salt production by the sea.

Upon entering the cave, the tribespeople were deeply moved to see that Lingyu had arranged everything comfortably inside.

To be honest, we used to live in the original tribe.

If they go out hunting and can't return, they'll just find a place to sleep wherever they can.

But the family patriarch not only made sure the bed was ready.

It was cleaned spotlessly, food was prepared, and all daily necessities were readily available.

"Thank you, Chieftain, for tidying us up so well!"

"Chieftain, you are so kind."

"Don't worry, we will definitely be able to produce plenty of salt and send it to the tribe."

Everyone said in unison, when suddenly they noticed a strange fruit on the table that emitted a sweet aroma.

"Chieftain, what is this?"

"These are fruits we picked from the island. This is a banana, and this is a lychee..."

Ling Yu explained everything one by one, without opening the durian, afraid of making the whole cave smell bad.

She herself couldn't stand the smell of durian.

However, my friends really enjoy eating it. It's not exactly cheap, so I brought it back for the tribe to try.

The tribespeople began to try it out.

They were immediately captivated by the fruit's deliciousness and couldn't help but devour it, talking as they ate:
“We’ve never seen these fruits before, Chief Yu. It’s incredible that such delicious fruits can be produced on that island.”

"It's too sweet, and very juicy."

Someone noticed the durian next to them, poked it curiously, and couldn't help but ask, "Chief, what's this?"

It doesn't look like fruit, but it's placed with fruit. Ling Yu smiled and said, "This fruit is called durian. The taste, uh, is a bit special. Some people like to eat it, while others don't like it."

"If you're interested, take it outside and open it, so you can try it out."

The tribespeople stared curiously at the hard, spiky durian, wondering: Is this thing actually a fruit? The chief said it has a special taste? What does it taste like?
Ling Yu did not stay there any longer.

She told everyone to get some rest early and not to go to the beach to play in the water at night, as the tide could come in and it would be dangerous.

They also chose a male named Sugi as the captain of the salt-making team to keep an eye on everyone's safety.

Then, she and Yue returned to the tribe.

"Chieftain, Yue, please be careful on your journey."

"it is good."

Lingyu and Yue hurried back to their tribe under the moonlight.

The journey was relatively smooth; we didn't encounter any wild animals or anything else.

Yue couldn't help but think that if he were a beast like Xuan or Lie, he could take her back sooner and they wouldn't have to walk back; or if he were like Li, who could fly, they could return quickly as well.

Thinking of this, he fell silent for a moment.

He always felt that this little female was being wronged by him.

"what happened?"

Lingyu keenly sensed that Yue was thinking about something and seemed a little depressed, so she took the initiative to ask.

Yue sighed and shook her head: "It's nothing."

He paused, then looked at Ling Yu:
"Are you tired? I'll carry you on my back. It's just that we can't get back as fast as Xuan and Lie, but carrying you back is no problem at all."

Ling Yu was tired, after all, she had spent the whole day wandering around the island and then cleaning the cave when she got back.

However, Yue is quite tired too.

She didn't want to exhaust him.

"I'm fine, I'm okay, let's walk back together."

She took Yue's large, warm hand and squeezed it: "We'll be there soon if we walk a little further."

Yue could clearly hear that she was trying to comfort herself. After thinking for a moment, she stepped forward and forcefully picked up the little female.

"No, I'll carry you back."

Ling Yu was being held, and she wrapped her arms around his neck, struggling to get down, but he wouldn't let her go.

There was no other way but to say it differently.

"It shouldn't be so tiring if you carry me on your back."

Yue then agreed, putting her down and carrying her on his back. The two walked in the deserted woods, a gentle breeze blowing, the moon hanging high in the sky, the atmosphere quite pleasant.

Ling Yu thought for a moment and decided she needed to make a means of transportation.

For males, whose bodies are terrestrial animals, it's easy to talk about travel. But for females who aren't good at running, or who are just average, getting around is very inconvenient.

She had previously instructed her people to tame a horse-like animal on the continent that could pull the cart, carrying people and goods, but so far they hadn't succeeded.

What if we got a bicycle?

Thinking of this, she searched for how to build a bicycle in the system search bar. It required 66 points to redeem. She checked her point balance...

Forget it, let's focus on building up the tribe first!
