Chapter 47 Tribe Exchange
Gu Xinyan shook her head, banishing the strange thought from her mind, and then led Chief Ke on a shopping trip.
Wherever they went, they explained the items sold there in detail. As they walked, Chief Ke was so amazed that he could hardly close his mouth. At one particular spot, he didn't even want to move.
"This...this...this is ironware? This is ironware that only the Iron Bull Tribe in the main city has? My God! It's here too, and so much of it!"
With these iron tools, wouldn't our tribe be able to hunt even more wild animals before the cold season? Truly, the Beast God is blessing us! The Beast God is blessing us!
Chief Ke was so excited that he could hardly speak. His eyes were fixed on the iron knife on the shelf, just as they had when he saw the medicine. He treasured it so much that he wouldn't look away.
"Chief Ke, this shelf not only has ironware, but some knives are made of special materials. Their sharpness is unquestionable, so you can rest assured. You can exchange for one to try in a while, and if you are satisfied, you can exchange for more!"
Gu Xinyan explained with a smile, her eyes practically glued to Chief Ke.
Iron tools must be very rare on this continent, probably all in the hands of large tribes, since we could tell from the stone spears they used when we first arrived.
Upon hearing this, Chief Ke nodded hurriedly. These ironware items were all treasures. Although he didn't know what the knives next to the ironware were made of, they looked extraordinary.
Moreover, after hearing Gu Xinyan's recommendation, he inexplicably felt that this was a good thing and that he would definitely redeem it later. Just as he was thinking this, a noisy sound came from outside the store.
"Hurry, hurry, everyone move faster, carry them all over here!"
"Hey kid, watch out, don't spill the jars! I told you not to carry so many, but you wouldn't listen!"
"Hey, and you too. I told you to carry the animal hide, didn't I? Why are you carrying a bunch of stones? What's the use of these stones? I told you to throw them away, but you won't."
"Hey, Stone Brother, stop nagging, it's hurting my ears. Didn't that lady just say she accepts everything? Maybe I can get a lot of things with these stones. Just let me try! I'll have my sister get the animal hides!"
"Hahaha! You little rascal, you still have this stone? It is indeed a beautiful color, a bright orange, just like a fruit. But it's just a pile of stones, so don't get your hopes up. You might as well throw it away."
"Yeah, you can't eat it or drink it, I don't know what you're keeping it for."
"You don't understand. I've heard that the orcs in the big tribes like these strange and wonderful things. Look how beautiful they are! Maybe they'll catch the eye of some of the adults!"
Ke Yan carried a leather pouch containing more than a dozen large stones in his arms and walked confidently toward the store.
He had just thought of coming over, but since the clan leader and the others were all here, he didn't dare to join in the fun.
They could only obediently follow the tribesmen to clean up the wild animals they had hunted that day. Unexpectedly, as soon as they finished cleaning up, Brother Stone came over to call them, actually asking them to come and carry things.
He was told that the items were for exchanging for medicine. Curious, he inquired further and learned that the officials had brought a lot of things, enough to fill a room, and had even declared that they would accept anything.
This immediately reminded him of the stones he had treasured for a long time, stones that he had dug out from a mountain gully to the west.
He saw the bright yellow flowers, especially under the sunlight, and they were so beautiful that he couldn't resist bringing them back to the tribe.
To his dismay, after attending several market days, none of the stones were sold, which was a huge blow to him.
He had been itching to join the fray when he heard those extraterrestrial visitors say they were coming to trade with their tribe.
He always felt that these stones were valuable, he didn't know why, he just had that feeling.
This time, we're sure we can sell these stones, and maybe we'll even get some unexpected gains!
Thinking this, he hugged the animal skin bag in his arms even tighter and followed behind the group, heading towards the store.
The orcs around him were all looking at him with amusement.
They didn't know about these stones before, but Ke Yan brought them to the market time and time again, but never managed to sell them, which caught their attention.
Every time I tell him to throw it away, he refuses, and keeps muttering that it must be something good. But so many winters have passed, and I still haven't seen that the stone is anything special.
Sigh! Forget it, forget it. If this deal doesn't go through, this kid should just give up.
The people inside the store saw a group of people, men and women, and children who had come to watch the excitement, walk in from outside.
The men wore animal skin covering their lower bodies, while the women wore simple skirts made of animal skin, which were not revealing.
Gu Xinyan saw them placing baskets of things on the open ground in front of the counter.
The basket contained all sorts of things, not only meat and vegetables, but also various fruits and many tanned animal hides, each one looking very intact.
Besides these, there were also many animal skin bags filled with bulging things, and it was unclear what was inside, since the animal skin bags were tied tightly.
The only thing they remembered was the jam in the wooden jar; if they weren't mistaken, it should have contained juice made from horsetail.
Thinking of this, the three of them couldn't help but swallow. To be honest, this juice was quite delicious. Most importantly, after drinking it, they felt refreshed and cool, which was a great way to beat the summer heat!
"Chieftain, all the things we prepared to take to the market are here. How do we exchange them?" Stone pointed to the items scattered on the ground and looked at his chieftain.
Ke Zhen, who was being asked, wasn't quite sure either. He only knew that it was exchanged among the big players, but how did he do it? Thinking this, he couldn't help but look at Gu Xinyan and the other two.
"Chief Ke, simply place the items you wish to exchange into the exchange device, and it will automatically convert them into dimensional currency."
However, this exchange can only be done by one person. Once someone makes the exchange, the dimensional currency stays in their account, and no one else can use it—only the person who made the exchange can use it!
Seeing their bewildered expressions, Gu Xinyan stepped forward and explained.
He then briefly explained the situation regarding the personal accounts, and only after making sure they all understood did he step aside.
