Chapter 54 Arrival in the Main City
The tribespeople chattered excitedly, and Chief Ke, listening nearby, happily shoveled down several mouthfuls of rice. "Mmm! It's so delicious, hundreds of times better than wild vegetable porridge!"
"I'm talking to you! Did you hear me?" Linzi nudged him, somewhat speechless, as he watched him showing off his food.
"Yes, I heard that. The sacrificial ceremony is in ten days. It takes us seven days to get to the main city from here, so leaving the day after tomorrow isn't too late."
"We should take advantage of these next few days to dig up some more gold, and stock up on food before the adults leave," Chief Ke replied, eating without looking up.
"Alright, alright, since you know, that's fine. Take A Luo and A Xing with you to this sacrificial ceremony as well; they might even receive the Mother Tree's blessing."
Seeing that he was eating intently, Lin Mu didn't say anything more, but gave him a word of advice.
The meal was very enjoyable. After the meal, Chief Ke and Gu Xinyan and the other two agreed to set off for the main city the day after tomorrow and come back tomorrow night to exchange items together. Then they hurriedly left with their people.
After all, time is of the essence; the adults will be leaving the day after tomorrow, and who knows when we'll see each other again.
So while the adults were still around, they wanted to exchange for as many items as possible.
And so, two busy days passed quietly. Every day, Lu Yunting would follow Chief Ke and the others to the gold mining site, firstly to explore the size of the gold mine, and secondly to look for anything new or interesting.
Gu Xinyan and Gu Xinya were teaching Lin Mu and the others how to cook in the tribe. Everyone was very busy, and Xiao Bai was probably the saddest among them.
It eagerly awaited the appearance of the primary energy stone every day, but several days passed without seeing even a trace of it, let alone an energy stone.
This is a complete surrender. It seems that this primary energy stone is not from near the tribe. It was probably brought here by some wild beast by accident.
Looking at its upturned corners, Gu Xinyan felt they were big enough to hang an oil bottle on. If it weren't inanimate, she would have already reached out and squeezed it hard.
There's nothing to it but the inexplicable urge to touch it, though it's a pity that this illusory body is impossible to actually touch.
"Alright, we're almost at the main city. When we open our shop and start doing business, maybe someone will exchange for energy stones. If they do, you can have them all, okay?" Gu Xinyan reassured them with a smile.
[Sigh! Little White is so frustrated. It feels like this basic energy stone was just a fleeting thing. He thought he could get rich quick, but he ended up with nothing!]
[Host, you said it! If we get any energy stones this time, they'll all go to Little White! Don't be lazy then!]
Xiao Bai kept rambling on and on, leaving Gu Xinyan and the other two feeling both helpless and amused.
This guy is really obsessed with energy stones. If he doesn't get them in the main city this time, he'll probably keep nagging about it for a long time.
A hint of regret flashed in the eyes of the large rabbit that was running wildly beneath them.
He originally thought there should be many of those basic energy stones near their tribe, but after searching for so many days, he couldn't find a single one, and in the end, he had no choice but to give up on mining for gold.
He'll definitely look for it again when he gets back; maybe it's hidden somewhere in some nook or cranny. Once he finds it, the adults can exchange it for lots and lots of things next time they come over.
Thinking this, she ran even harder, feeling the sudden increase in speed and the wind whistling against her face. Gu Xinyan glanced at the big rabbit beneath her with some confusion.
This big rabbit was Koro in disguise. Since the vegetation in this world was very lush, they didn't know how long it would take them to get there on their own, so Koro simply carried them.
At a glance, there were five large rabbits, each with a leather pouch tied to its body, and Ke Xing was sitting on the front rabbit.
After running for two hours, they finally arrived at the main city. During the seven days of travel, apart from short rests, everyone was rushing towards the main city. Finally, they arrived at the main city before the evening of the seventh day.
The main city is very large. From the outside, you can only see the tall city walls, which completely enclose the main city and make it impossible to see anything inside.
Looking at the tall stone city wall, Chief Ke and his group transformed from rabbits into human form. They then saw Chief Ke rummaging through his animal skin bag and finally pulling out a wooden token.
"My lord, we are from the Kolo Rabbit tribe. This is our travel permit." Chief Kolo said, handing the token to the orc soldier guarding the city.
After carefully examining the token, the orc soldier returned it and then made way for them to go inside quickly.
Chief Ke took the token, quickly put it away, and strode towards the main city. Gu Xinyan and the others behind him hurriedly followed.
The moment I stepped inside, I was captivated by the scene inside the main city. I didn't expect to find a long street right there, with all sorts of stalls lining both sides, selling everything imaginable.
Behind the stall was a makeshift animal skin shed, and there were many orcs on the street, making a lot of noise.
Chief Ke led the group into the street until they reached a corner, where they found an open space. Although it was relatively remote, it was spacious.
It was more than enough to accommodate the shops of adults, and their animal skin sheds.
"Sir, what do you think of this place? Although it's a bit out of the way, it's spacious, and your items are all in high demand. Even here, you won't have trouble selling them!" Chief Ke said, pointing to the open space in front of him.
Gu Xinyan looked in the direction he pointed and nodded in satisfaction. She didn't really care whether the location was remote or not.
After all, good wine needs no bush, and her products were unique to this era, so she wasn't worried about not having customers.
“Alright! Let’s stay here then.” Gu Xinyan said, and then released the interdimensional shop.
As golden light flashed, a two-story building suddenly appeared on the previously empty land.
This amazing scene stunned the orcs at the surrounding stalls, their eyes widening as they stared at Gu Xinyan and the others.
"My God! You...you...what did you just see? Was that the House Transformation?"
"I see it! I see it! What's that house made of? It looks so strange! It's different from the stone houses in our tribe!"
