Chapter 46 The Excited Clan
As Ko Chen spoke, his voice involuntarily choked up.
He knew from a young age that the winter season was very difficult to endure. Seeing his familiar uncles, aunts and other relatives suddenly leave him made him feel very sad.
Since becoming the clan leader, he would bring back some medicine every time he went to the market.
However, there are many tribes on the mainland, not just his own, so each time he can only get a small amount.
Every year during the cold season, which is also the most difficult time for the tribe, he would often lead his people to live in caves.
When they went out hunting or fetched water, they would ask strong orcs to help them, but even so, many people still died in the tribe every year.
Moreover, news recently circulated in the main city that this year's cold season will be colder and longer than usual, possibly a double cold season.
During this period, he was so worried that he couldn't sleep every day, not only about storing food, but also about medicine.
Unexpectedly, all the things that kept him up at night were resolved today.
He was so happy that he wanted to roar to the sky!
"Then you can buy more medicine this time. These medicines have a relatively long shelf life, so it's good to buy more and store them in case of emergency."
We also have some food here that can be stored for a long time; you can buy some of that too.
"That way, you won't have to worry about not having food during the cold season." After listening to his words, Gu Xinyan thought for a moment and then suggested.
After all, the living environment here is not very good, and the cold season here is unusual. I heard Ke Xing say that this year's cold season will be colder than in previous years.
They are working so hard to store food so that they can get through this cold season.
"Very good, thank you so much, sir. I didn't know about these things..." Before he could finish speaking, a series of exclamations came from outside.
"My goodness, this house is even more beautiful than those in the main city! What is it made of? It's so beautiful, and the floors are so clean!"
"Yes, how did this house suddenly appear in our tribe? I didn't see it when I left this morning! It's really beautiful, even more beautiful than our treehouse!"
"Who says otherwise? We were just dealing with the sheep beasts when we realized something so big had happened in the tribe."
But didn't that guy Ayan mention someone just now? That brat Alu called us here without explaining, it's making me really curious."
"Hey, the clan chief summoned us here, it must be something important, maybe something good!"
Several burly men chattered incessantly. They had gone hunting with the chieftain that morning, and on their way back, they ran into Keyan, who said that some important person had come to the tribe.
Upon hearing this, the clan chief hurriedly returned, while the others first took the prey they had hunted that day to clean it. Unexpectedly, before they had finished cleaning it, they were summoned over.
To their surprise, they came across this strange building, which was large and odd, yet somehow beautiful. They had never seen a house like it before.
"You're here! Come and take a look! There are lots of medicines and food here. We're saved this winter! We don't have to worry about not being able to get herbs anymore!" Ke Zhen excitedly waved to the group.
The people who heard this were all stunned. What had they just heard?
Medicine? Food? Cold season? After realizing what was happening, everyone rushed towards Ke Zhen's location.
Each of them was a man several meters tall. Gu Xinyan and her two companions had to look up at them, as if they had entered a land of giants. As they rushed towards them in unison, Gu Xinyan and her companions quickly moved aside.
Then, several tall and burly men surrounded Ke Zhen, and after a burst of chattering and commotion...
The men scattered again and surrounded the shelves where the medicines were displayed. Some of the more eager men tried to reach for the medicines, but they were blocked by a transparent protective shield.
Upon seeing this, the men and Ke Zhen all looked at each other with a mixture of confusion and surprise, as if they hadn't expected such a thing to exist.
Seeing this, Gu Xinyan quickly stepped forward to explain, "Clan Chief Gu, it's like this, our store has a security mechanism in place. If you don't swipe your card to buy something, you can't get the items on the shelves."
Forcibly or violently taking items will trigger penalties from the store. Therefore, if you need to buy items from the shelves, simply take the items and exchange them for dimensional currency at the exchange machine at the entrance.
After exchanging the gift card, you can use it to take whatever you want in the store. As long as you have enough dimensional coins on the card, you can take out as much as you want!
After all, every time they arrived in a new world, Gu Xinyan would explain the shopping rules of the store to them. Upon hearing her words, the men who were curiously looking around the medicine shelf all turned to look at Gu Xinyan and her companions.
Seeing them looking over, Gu Xinyan pointed towards the exchange device.
"That machine over there is the exchange device. You just need to put your items in it, and it will automatically exchange them for the dimensional currency that my shop needs."
Upon hearing this, the men turned their attention to the main entrance, where a large machine was placed.
They had seen it when they came in, and were wondering what it was. They didn't expect it to be used for exchanging items. Thinking about this, they became a little eager to try it.
"Stone, take Alo and Mu and the others to carry over all the things the tribe is going to trade at the market this year. Also, bring over some of the knotweed fruit juice that Linzi and the others have been making."
Upon hearing this, Ke Zhen hurriedly spoke to a burly man beside him, then, still somewhat uneasy, added:
"Bring over all the recently tanned animal hides; we might be able to exchange them for some more items!"
"Yes, Chieftain!"
The man named Stone nodded in agreement, then pulled Ke Luo and the others away in a hurry, just like when they came. In an instant, only Ke Zhen was left.
The shop quieted down at this point, and Gu Xinyan, seeing Ke Zhen still peering at the medicine shelves, chuckled and suggested:
"Chief Ke, our shop has more than just medicine; we also have grain, knives, and other goodies. Shall I show you around first?"
Ke Zhen, who had been focused solely on the medicine, was stunned upon hearing this and immediately agreed. His eagerness and gleaming eyes made him look like he had spotted a big, fat sheep.
