Chapter 104 Primitive Orcs 1
After three days of heavy snowfall, the orcs of the Golden Tiger Tribe had to come out of their warm caves and clear the land buried by the snow, otherwise they would slip when walking on the snow when it hardened.
Sweeping snow is a boring activity, so when everyone gets together, they can't help but chat.
"Whose turn is it to give food to the people in the big cave today?"
"It should be the Shitu family."
"Hey, didn't the Shitu family take in that demihuman named Yihan? One more mouth to feed will eat up a lot of food. The snow season is still a long way off, so their food supply won't last until the end."
"Oh, it was Shitu who insisted on taking in that demi-human. But Shitu's father, Mu, and his two brothers weren't so happy. Maybe after a while, they'll kick the demi-human out. Shitu can't just disobey his father."
"No way! My house is very close to Shitu's cave. I've seen white mist rising from the entrance of their cave every day lately. They're cooking food every day, so they definitely don't have to worry about food."
"Cook every day? Where do you get so much food?"
"Who knows? Maybe Shitu hunted a lot of wild animals without telling anyone before the snow season. He's so powerful, if he hadn't picked up a demihuman, there would have been many demihumans who would have had children with him this winter."
"After the snow season, another orc in their family will reach adulthood. Adult orcs can join the hunting team, and things will get better for the Shitu family."
"Yes, many orc warriors died in the battle with the Great Bear Tribe. Shitu's father was one of the strongest orc warriors in the tribe. If it weren't for that battle, our tribe wouldn't have had such a difficult snowy season this year."
"I really want to beat up the orc warriors from the Big Bear Tribe one day. They're so abominable. They always come to rob our tribe before the snow season."
That's how chatting is, as you talk the topic will deviate to another direction.
The focus of the first half of the topic was that Shitu returned to the cave after clearing the snow in front of his cave.
There is another world in this cave. The entrance is forked deep inside, forming two separate spaces.
Shitu did not go to the space where Am lived with his brother, but went to another space where the demi-humans he brought back lived.
This was the place originally allocated to him. Before his father died in battle, he and his father lived separately. The two orc warriors had a strong sense of territory and often fought when living together.
"Shitu? You're back?" The handsome demi-human was wrapped in animal skin, with ambiguous traces still remaining on his body.
Shitu happily stepped forward and touched his belly: "Yihan, are you hungry? I will cook your favorite food for you. I hope you will eat your fill and give birth to a healthy and strong cub for me."
Yi Han looked dejected for a moment, but quickly concealed it. He said, "Am came here just now. He said we should share some food with the big cave. Is there anyone in the big cave? I haven't heard you mention it before."
"The elderly demihumans and disabled orcs who can't hunt will live there. They can no longer contribute to the tribe, so of course they won't have their own caves. Every year during the snowy season, the demihumans get pregnant and give birth. After the snowy season, the tribe will have new families, and the caves will be divided among them."
"But we don't have enough food..." Yi Han hadn't expected such a custom to exist. He grabbed Shitu's big hand and said anxiously, "Shitu, you can't tell anyone else about the food I gave you."
"Why? That food called potatoes is delicious when cooked with meat, and it can also fill your stomach. I was just about to share it with everyone. After the snow season is over, I will let the gathering team in the tribe go out to find this kind of food."
"That food is..." Yi Han bit his lip, a trace of panic flashing in his eyes. He said, "I brought it from my original tribe. There's only this much. If you gave it to others and everyone spread the news, my original tribe would definitely find me. You know, I escaped."
Shitu scratched his ears and slowly digested the matter.
Although he didn't quite understand why Yi Han's original tribe could find him after he distributed the potatoes to everyone, he knew that Yi Han was very afraid to go back to his previous tribe.
He was assigned by the tribal leader to form a pact with an orc warrior who was about to die of old age. That was totally wrong. Such a young demi-human, who looked fertile, should be assigned to a powerful orc warrior, like himself.
He nodded hesitantly. If the potatoes could not be given away, the most leftover thing at home would be meat. However, he had to eat meat every day, otherwise he would not have the strength. He thought of the dried cardamoms, which were something that the sub-humans liked to eat, but Yi Han did not like to eat them, so he had to share them.
Seeing him nod, Yi Han breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked in his mind: "System, can you please not give me food rewards for the time being?"
He was terrified that the news that he wasn't from this world would leak out. If the tribe discovered he was from another world, he would be burned to death! That's what's written in the novel.
The system replied coldly, "You draw the rewards yourself. I can't make the decision, but I can help you increase the drop rate of one prize pool. What kind of reward do you hope to get?"
Yi Han said: "Shitu hopes that I can give birth to a child."
System: "You only look like a subhuman, but you are actually a man who cannot have children."
Yi Han: "Aren't you an omnipotent system? Can you give me the ability to have children?"
System: "...Transforming the body and reversing yin and yang consumes a tremendous amount of energy. The energy gained from conquering only one orc warrior, Shitu, is insufficient. You will need to conquer more orc warriors."
Yi Han hesitated again. Shitu was very good to him and was very strong in that aspect. He enjoyed every day.
While he was enjoying a romantic relationship with Shitu, he didn't want to flirt with other orc warriors.
Yi Han paused: "Let me think about it."

The sunlight reflected off the white snow and shone into the cave, and Xie Yunsui was woken up by the cold.
Getting up from the hay, Xie Yunsui looked at the fire next to the "bed" and saw that it had gone out. The cloth curtain at the door used to block the wind was gone. No wonder he was woken up by the cold.
Fortunately, after a few days of training, he was able to fall asleep calmly in such an environment, and if it wasn't too cold, he could even sleep in.
He rekindled a small fire using materials from the deserted island world. The flames dispelled the chill. Xie Yunsui sat beside the fire, looking at the empire he had built in the past ten days in the cave.
A bed made of hay was laid directly on the ground, and this area was designated as a bedroom by Xie Yunsui.
Next to it was a broad leaf, on which lay two kinds of fruits that Xie Yunsui had picked up in this world. They were edible but not very tasty, but better than nothing.
One meter away from the hay bed was a small fire, which was Xie Yunsui's kitchen and living room. Next to the fire were a few broad leaves scattered around, on which were some roasted pieces of meat, hazelnuts and two roasted fish.
Near the entrance of the cave, there is a frame made of long wooden sticks and rattan. In the middle of the frame is stretched animal skin that has been simply nitrated with wood ash.
This was the second animal skin made by Xie Yunsui. The first one was on him, replacing his exquisite clothes that were incompatible with the current world.
After experiencing three worlds where he had no worries about food and clothing, Xie Yunsui suddenly returned to a life like in a deserted island. His mood was indescribably complicated.
This is a primitive orc world where people eat raw meat and drink blood. The production level is very backward. All tribes live like this. Xie Yunsui must get used to this pace of life as soon as possible before he can integrate into a tribe and live a group life.
Another gust of cold wind blew, and Xie Yunsui shivered.
Although he was blessed with energy and would not get sick or catch a cold, he still felt the cold wind.
Xie Yunsui placed the animal hide frame horizontally to block half of the cave entrance, and fixed the animal hide frame with several large stones. Then he returned to the fire and added a few pieces of wood to make the fire bigger.
The fire gave off heat, and Xie Yunsui enjoyed this rare and relaxing moment.
He took out a small notebook out of thin air. This notebook was the embodiment of Xiao Wan's cash register system. Any transaction information would leave a trace on it.
Xie Yunsui took a look and saw that there was no new transaction information updated. Looking up, the last one was a transaction of 100 kilograms of potatoes when he had just arrived in this world two days ago.
Based on this, Xie Yunsui could infer the current actions of the alien consciousness.
Coincidentally, Xie Yunsui was worrying about how to find the alien consciousness, and Xiao Wan told him that because of that collision, he had established a communication channel with the system carried by the alien consciousness.
In one collision, even the Wanjie Shop was damaged and required so much energy to repair and maintain it. How could this system remain intact?
Xie Yunsui didn't know how much the system had lost, but it was actually connected to the Wanjie Shop, and the other side didn't seem to realize that there was anything wrong with connecting to the Wanjie Shop.
This reminded Xie Yunsui of some system novels he had read before. At that time, he was very confused. The host only needed to complete tasks to obtain various rewards, but the system never explained where these rewards came from.
I don’t know anything else, but the system of this alien consciousness was actually purchased from him by spending energy points.
In this primitive society, the people in the tribe still have no concept of trading. Xie Yunsui thought that they would not be able to do a single business deal for at least the first thirty years.
Shop of All Worlds?
Xie Yunsui suddenly realized that this was how it was. Opening a store in thousands of small worlds did not mean it could be called the Ten Thousand Worlds.
It not only connects thousands of small worlds, but also supplies materials to thousands of energy bodies such as systems. There is nothing in the world that cannot be supplied by the Wanjie Shop.
Is this the original meaning of the Wanjie Shop?
Xie Yunsui finally understood. No wonder he thought earning 30 million energy points was a good result. However, Xiao Wan's shop did not even change in size. It was still the ten square meters of the space-time gap.
He couldn't help but start to imagine, in the little bee's memory, the second owner who had experienced the store's super luxurious period, controlled a five-story store of Wanjie Shop, each floor was nearly a thousand square meters, and there was a constant stream of customers every day. With such a grand occasion, how much energy value must have been traded every day?
An incredible one?
Only then did Xie Yunsui realize that his collection was too limited, and most of it was just food. So when faced with the request from this popular system to buy the pregnancy pill, he found that he did not have such a thing.
The Wanjie Shop is controlled by Xie Yunsui, who controls what products are put on the shelves and how much they are priced.
Xie Yunsui currently does not have the pregnancy pill, so he had to bid a sky-high price of 10 million energy points, which was pinned to the top of the list in red by the Charmian System.
In all these days, he had only completed one transaction of 100 kilograms of potatoes worth 200 energy points. It seemed that the speed at which this alien consciousness earned energy was not as fast as imagined.
Otherwise, he would have to spend time looking for the world's natural treasure, something called pregnancy fruit.
