Lin Qianqian let Luo Zexuan speak first, and Luo Zexuan didn't stand on ceremony. He stood up and said, "As everyone knows, this mission is not just about interdimensional trading, but has special requirements. Regardless of whether it's reasonable to give us an interdimensional trading mall under such special requirements, given the current situation of the orcs, none of the system's three tasks will be easy to complete."
After he finished speaking, he gestured to Chu Zhou, who tacitly sent the pre-prepared document to the other people's personal computers. Good heavens! It was a full ten thousand words long.
"Hey, didn't we just arrive in this plane? We haven't had a single day of free time. When was this done?"
"After returning from the beast cave, I discussed it with Wen Mingyue from Chuzhou, and Chuzhou quickly produced the plan."
Lin Qianqian turned her head towards Chu Zhou; it seemed like this guy had been right under her nose the whole time.
While she was talking to Zhang Laodao, he sat to the side typing on his computer and produced a proposal in such a short time?
When Chu Zhou saw Lin Qianqian turn her gaze over, his eyes held three parts admiration, three parts respect, three parts disbelief, and one part jealousy that she was not human.
He spoke expressionlessly: "With the help of a quantum computer and a clear goal, making a plan isn't difficult. Can you please stop having so many internal monologues? You're a cultivator now, don't wear your thoughts on your sleeve. You're too easy to read!"
Chu Zhou's sharp tongue... Lin Qianqian immediately withdrew her praise and admiration for him.
Luo Zexuan ignored this minor incident and continued, "This time, the system's transaction value is one million, a hundred times higher than in the previous plane. Fortunately, there's no time limit, so we can trade slowly. The second task is to help the orcs escape their primitive lifestyle and develop agriculture and animal husbandry, which will definitely involve food, clothing, shelter, and transportation. You can scroll down to see what we need to do; it's all written in Chu Zhou's plan."
Following Luo Zexuan's words, everyone quickly swiped their computer screens to look at the plan.
"As for the third task, teaching orcs to read is not difficult; developing civilization itself includes enabling them to read and learn. The difficulty lies in the fact that orcs do not seem to have a unified written language."
"That's not difficult. We'll use the script of our Yan Kingdom." Lin Qianqian waved her hand. What's so difficult about that? Her motherland has a rich cultural heritage, which is perfect for promoting in this other world.
She was delighted to see the orcs learning this foreign language!
"That's what I think too."
"The other thing is to teach them cultivation." Luo Zexuan frowned as he said this.
"I believe you have all examined it; the orcs have physical problems, I mean, problems with their cultivation."
Lin Qianqian interrupted Luo Zexuan at the right moment, "This is not that simple. Leave it to me and Yunze to handle."
She turned her head and exchanged a glance with Yunze beside her. The two understood each other without saying a word: the orcs' inability to cultivate must be related to the pollution disaster.
Once you solve one of them, the other shouldn't be too difficult.
These two issues require time to investigate and resolve; they are not the most urgent matters at the moment.
"Alright, let's put the third task aside for now. The main task at present is to provide them with assistance in terms of clothing, food, shelter, and transportation so that they can get through this cold season. According to Priest Lucao, the cold season will not be over for another month. So let's talk about clothing first. Our store has a large quantity of winter clothing, although the sizes are not very friendly to the tall orcs, but there's nothing we can do about that. We also have blankets, quilts, etc., which can be brought out tomorrow. As for food, there's no need to mention it; Wen Mingyue and I will take stock of all the food later. Regarding shelter, we'll first teach them hygiene to reduce the risk of disease. Can Jiang Shuran take charge of this?"
Luo Zexuan looked at Jiang Shuran, who gave him an OK sign.
"Then we'll talk about keeping warm in the winter. Starting tomorrow, we'll help them build a few heated kang beds. Tonight, Chu Zhou will find the video on how to make them, and then we'll plan how to build them in the orcs' caves. Is that alright?"
The last question was directed at Chu Zhou. Of course, no problem; it was no big deal for him, and wouldn't take much time.
However, Chu Zhou raised another question: "Do the orcs have enough wood stored for heating their kang beds?"
"I asked Langshan about this. They need to burn firewood for warmth and have a habit of storing wood, but they don't have much left now."
"We don't need to build a heated kang (traditional heated bed) in every cave. Just build a few, enough for the elderly, women, and children to get through the cold season. After the cold season, we'll definitely teach them how to build houses, and then we can build heated kangs inside them. As for whether to build houses with bricks or stones first, we'll decide after we've surveyed the area once the snow melts. Finally, we'll send people with food and clothing to trade with more distant tribes. I think this plan is feasible. What do you think?"
It was Lin Qianqian who originally suggested this, so of course she agreed and immediately raised her hand. When she raised her hand, Yunze followed suit.
Wen Mingyue thought for a moment and raised her hand, followed by Jiang Shuran and Zhang Laodao, leaving only Chu Zhou unmoved.
Seeing everyone staring at him, Chu Zhou pushed up his glasses and said, "This suggestion is fine in principle, but do you know anything about the other tribes? Do you know where those tribes are located? The continent of Oak is not small. What if we encounter a blizzard or ferocious beasts on the way? Or what if some tribes have ill intentions and want to kill and rob us?"
What he said wasn't wrong, but Lin Qianqian had already thought about these issues: "The tribes we're going to are all ones that the tribal chiefs and priests here today know and have interacted with, and the tribal chiefs have also agreed to send people to accompany us. It's just that the weather is a bit worrying. The climate here is much harsher and more changeable than on Earth, and there's no weather forecast here."
As she spoke, she frowned.
Although Lin Qianqian wanted to complete the task as soon as possible and make more transactions, she would not joke about the lives of her employees.
At this moment, Yunze spoke up: "I'll take Fellow Daoist Luo with me. There's nothing to worry about with me here."
Upon hearing Yunze's suggestion, Luo Zexuan immediately agreed: "That's fine. With Yunze here, we don't need to worry about blizzards or any malicious beastmen. I'll handle all communication when we arrive at the beastman tribe. The two of us are the most suitable to go."
Chu Zhou raised his hand: "I think it would be more appropriate for Yun Ze and me to go."
"No, you're not suitable!"
Apart from Yunze, everyone else unanimously rejected the idea.
"Then the trip is settled. Luo Zexuan, please continue."
"There's not much else to say. Regarding travel, I was thinking of teaching the beastmen how to make sleds or snowmobiles, but it's too cold, and there's no prey for them to hunt, so let's leave that aside for now. Here's the work assignment: Yunze and I will go to other tribes, Wen Mingyue and Zhang Laodao will be in charge of supplies, Jiang Shuran will be in charge of medical care, Chuzhou will be in charge of technical support, and Qianqian will fill in as needed. Is that alright?"
What the heck is a flexible substitute? Isn't it just a backup plan? Lin Qianqian was a little unhappy.
“Yes,” the others replied.
Chu Zhou remained silent; he was still somewhat unwilling and wanted to go out and see the Beast World Continent.
However, this idea was rejected by five votes and one abstention.
