Hearing Xuan say this, Meng Yuqing was speechless for a moment. Well, I underestimated the strength of the beasts in your world.
. . . . . .
"Well, let's do this. The sub-beast needs to be able to pull it, and you orcs can't just break the tendons."
Hearing Meng Yuqing slightly change the request, Xuan nodded.
"Okay, how much do you want? I'll ask my father for it tomorrow."
"Ten of them, please. Long ones, so they're easier to modify. Oh, and some of the resin you use to build your house, and some bird feathers, preferably wing feathers."
"Okay, I'll get them all tomorrow." After seeing Xuan write down everything he asked for, Meng Yuqing looked at the sky. It was almost time to go to bed. The sleepiness debuff would last for about eight days. After enduring these eight days, he would be free to stay up late.
Meng Yuqing, who was preparing to rest, didn't know that a flying orc shivered inexplicably.
Is something targeting him? Fei raised his head and looked around.
"Let's do this for now and go to bed early." After tidying up the things on the open space, Xuan looked at Meng Yuqing and said.
"Okay, you should go to bed early too." Meng Yuqing waved at Xuan and watched Xuan walk towards his own home.
After returning to the house and boiling two pots of hot water in a stone pot, Meng Yuqing took a quick shower and lay down on the bed, looking at the empty room and the animal skins still piled in the corner of the bed.
Cabinet!!! So many things happened today, I forgot about it!!
Let out a long sigh, eh - there is still a long way to go to improve our lives!
Take your time and do the important things first.
Just as Meng Yuqing was thinking about this and that, the system came back to life.
Complete the hidden mission:
1. Escape from the attack of the wandering orcs without any deaths
2. Teach the tribe to plant crops (sustainable energy)
Gain energy. The host can use more energy. Please check for details.
Release random task: Complete the production of bamboo bow
Meng Yuqing looked a little strange when he saw the notification released by the system.
The system rarely issues tasks proactively. Most of the time, it will pop up after you complete something and tell you that you have completed a hidden task, gained energy, etc.
As for the few times when I actively posted tasks, except for the first one that required me to join or create a tribe, the others were tasks that I had the tendency to do or were in the process of doing but had not yet completed.
To put it bluntly.
I always feel like... this system... is a bit of an afterthought?
Moreover, it seemed that this system was quite arbitrary, so arbitrary that it made him feel that the system only knew that its goal was to develop the tribe, but it had no idea how to develop it or what to do.
Everything is left to Meng Yuqing to handle on his own, and there are no restrictions on Meng Yuqing at all.
Meng Yuqing does whatever he wants. When he needs it, he looks for it and it appears. If he doesn't look for it, it will be quiet as if it doesn't exist. He has no idea what it wants to do.
However, after what happened today, Meng Yuqing trusted it more. At least it was just as it said, and had no ill will towards him or the tribe.
Moreover, the time it appears is always perfect. It will never disturb me when I am busy or have nothing important to do.
It usually comes out before going to bed or when eating or relaxing.
It's... quite humane?
Thinking of this, Meng Yuqing shouted with some ill intention.
"System~"
"Yes, host, what instructions do you have?" The system's voice was cold and rigid.
"Just asking a question, don't be angry~"
“The system won’t get angry.”
"Oh~ Then let me ask~ Is your... system a professional one?" After analyzing it in his mind just now, Meng Yuqing couldn't help but ask this question.
Because this system really looks too unprofessional.
"The host doesn't need to be so clear about system matters," the system said coldly. "Previously, the host requested energy coverage. After detection, the host's energy storage space was insufficient, so the system paid for it. Now that it has detected that the host's energy storage space has sufficient energy, it will automatically repay the debt."
As soon as he finished speaking, the energy in the energy storage space suddenly decreased by half.
Oh no! Are you mad?
Meng Yuqing widened his eyes slightly and looked at the half remaining energy in disbelief.
"System, are you sure you're not taking revenge?"
"Danger warning consumes the most energy. Once the host confirms they need the system to notify them of the danger, the host's energy storage space has been used up. Subsequent coverage is when the system sees the host taking actions that could threaten their life and safety, and it draws system energy to lend to the host. There is no personal revenge involved."
The system answered meticulously.
After hearing the system's answer, Meng Yuqing touched his nose and said, how come the energy is just used up, not a bit more or less, it seems that the system secretly lent him energy.
Thinking of this, Meng Yuqing couldn't help but wonder, if he hadn't been so rude as to provoke the system and angered it, the system would not have been prepared to let him pay back.
Hiss~ Don’t be so rude. Next time, don’t provoke the system casually. After all, we have been getting along quite well until now.
It's better to leave some room for others so that we can meet again in the future. You may need to borrow energy from the system later.
Yawning, Meng Yuqing rubbed his eyes and spoke to the system.
"Good night, system."
. . . . . .
"Good night, host."
He had a dreamless night and when he woke up, it was already dawn. After a simple wash, Meng Yuqing walked out the door, scooped water to the vegetable garden to water the potatoes and sweet potatoes, and then squatted down to observe the hemostatic grass and blackthorn grass he had planted.
It looks good and quite vigorous. Maybe I can keep it alive. I'll see if it can produce seeds after a while.
With the seeds, if we can plant them, the tribe will never be short of herbs in the future.
After finishing all these things, Xuan had already come over with Dan and Dong.
"Good morning!" Meng Yuqing waved at them.
"Good morning?"
Xuan tilted his head and waved like Meng Yuqing. Was this how everyone in his previous tribe greeted each other?
Dan and Dong didn't think about anything and just smiled broadly at Meng Yuqing.
Xuan walked quickly to Meng Yuqing and handed him a piece of roasted meat wrapped in leaves and some berries.
"I thought you hadn't eaten yet, so I brought it here. Please eat first."
After taking the barbecue and berries, Meng Yuqing realized that his stomach was rumbling with hunger.
While eating the barbecue, I watched Xuan take out the half-finished bow from yesterday and share it with Dan and Dong.
"Let's get on with it. If you see anything you want to change, just tell us. The animal sinews, resins, and feathers you want will be delivered to you shortly."
After saying that, he took Dan and Dong to continue the work that was not completed yesterday.
Soon they polished the last few details on the bow, and Mu also came over with what Meng Yuqing needed.
He looked much better than yesterday. It turned out that the orcs' recovery ability was truly terrifying.
