Just as the Serpent Rong said, the weather is getting colder day by day.

The number of prey coming out to hunt has visibly decreased, and even skilled prey like the Snake Rong are bringing back fewer animals.

Seeing this, Maoduo cheered up and worked hard to cure bacon and make smoked meat. At the same time, when she had spare time, she and the snake cubs picked up the heavy fruits, washed and dried them to make dried fruit.

Although it's a shame there's no sugar, it can at least provide some vitamins for winter...

That's true; Maoduoduo is extremely busy on weekdays.

While cooking, I subconsciously took out the freshest meat from the room.

Sure enough, this kind of weather is perfect for trying Sichuan peppercorn beef hot pot. While there were still plenty of ingredients, everyone ate until they were stuffed.

After finishing his meal, She Rong looked thoughtfully at the cured and smoked meats drying everywhere.

It seems like there's more and more food. Where did all the food that Cat Duoduo is cooking come from?

"Father, what's wrong?" Snake Three couldn't sleep, so he ran out and rolled around on Snake Rong's lap.

"It seems like there's more food now." The Serpent Rong thought for a moment, even taking the time to calculate that serpent-like beastmen like them would hibernate, at which point their food consumption would be limited.

His main concern was providing plenty of food for the snake cubs and cats; the current number seemed sufficient...

"Oh, I know that!" Snake Three said excitedly, blinking his eyes and speaking in a mysterious tone, "It was conjured up by Mother."

"Change?" She Rong tilted his head in confusion. Under the tree, a gentle breeze blew, making him look somewhat delicate and making people ignore his relatively strong strength.

"Yes, Mom is amazing. She can always come up with lots of delicious food." Snake Three completely worshipped Cat Duo Duo as a god, and was quite proud. In his mind, this was information that only 'family' could know.

"Snake Three!" Snake One and Snake Two arrived just in time to hear this. They were so annoyed that they rubbed their foreheads, not even having time to call Snake Three an idiot.

"You know that too?" Although it was said to be a question, the Serpent Rong people actually used an affirmative tone.

His gaze was calm, but when it fell on Snake One and Snake Two, the two little guys felt extremely guilty and remorseful. They lowered their heads in unison and said sorry.

"It's okay."

She Rong raised his hand and rubbed their heads. "Don't tell anyone about this. Just keep it as our secret."

"Good!" Snake One and Snake Two breathed a sigh of relief, but Snake Three was completely unaware of what was going on and continued to roll around on Snake Rong's leg, feeling really happy.

At the same time, just a few steps away.

Inside the cave, CatDodo pretended to be tidying up animal hides, but in reality, he was choosing to enter the space.

Sure enough, upon closer inspection, the space was indeed very large. There were many things behind the first and second doors, and she had no idea how many good things were inside.

Let's just say that with this cheat code alone, she'll never have to worry about anything for the rest of her life...

Here's the problem.

"The third door still can't be opened." CatDodo sighed deeply, trying to push it open but failing.

At this moment, the system pushed out a message: [Upgrade failed. The construction goal of White Tiger City has not yet been achieved. Please expand the scale of White Tiger City to two to three thousand people in order to open the third gate.]

"Here's the problem: where did all these people come from?!"

Maoduoduo sighed deeply and thought about the current scale once again.

Managing just a few hundred people is already a huge challenge, and with autumn and winter approaching, it's not easy to find wandering orcs from the outside world.

Since there were limitations, Cat Duoduo simply left the space and started thinking about preparing new animal skins. Just how cold are winters in this world?

Everyone seemed quite fearful and on high alert. No matter how many animal hides they prepared, it wasn't enough. They all wanted to think about researching and developing something warmer.

Oh right, what were the ancient people's fire-making equipment again...?

At that moment, footsteps approached.

Cat Dodo perked up, turned around, and saw Gal coming over. He was holding a bamboo-woven fruit basket and offered it to her.

"Thank you." Mao Duoduo pretended that this was just normal interaction between roommates, and that she would return the favor anyway; it wouldn't be convenient to fuss over it too much.

Watching her carefully nibble on the fruit still glistening with water droplets, She Rong suddenly asked, "Why can you produce fresh meat out of thin air?"

"...Cough cough." Cat Duoduo was caught off guard and coughed.

Even when the Serpent King approached her and gently patted her back as a form of comfort, Cat Dodo still distanced herself from him the moment she recovered.

"What nonsense are you spouting? I have no idea." She deliberately looked away, her heart pounding. Damn it, how did he know? Or had she let her guard down lately and he'd discovered it? If he did, how would he treat her?

In fact, She Rong simply sat down beside her, as if he hadn't said what he just said, and picked up a piece of fruit, eating and talking at the same time.

"You don't need to worry, I'm just reminding you."

He paused for a moment before continuing, "I am very strong and will prepare plenty of food."

So you don't need to be so nervous or afraid, and you don't need to constantly bring out new things.

He can protect her and won't let her live in fear.

Mao Duoduo didn't say anything, her heart was pounding. Only after the other person left did she react, looking in the direction the other person had left with a complicated expression.

It seems she managed to get through it successfully, and the other party didn't seem to intend to hold a grudge...

But how will this affect her life?

CatDodo thought she would not be able to sleep or eat well, but in reality she was just like nothing was wrong, eating, drinking and sleeping as usual. The next morning, she even went to tell Gal about her long-held idea.

"I want to establish a hospital to teach people some medical skills..."

"Qiao Wei's death has taught me that there are still many people who don't know how to help their compatriots get rid of pain and disease."

CatDodo is prepared for a long-term struggle.

As a result, she saw Gal in front of her with an excited expression, suddenly jump up and put his hands on her shoulders, unable to hide his joy.

Is it true?

"Duoduo, you're actually willing to teach these methods of saving lives."

"I will thank you on behalf of all the people of White Tiger City..."

His excitement made Maoduo feel like he had done something amazing.

In fact, Senjie, who arrived shortly after, showed similar excitement to Gal when he learned of this. The answer that CatDodo wanted to know was found in their account.

It turns out that in this world, doctors, or witch doctors, basically pass on their wisdom to their disciples...
