The snow at the entrance of the mall had just been cleared away by robots because tents were being set up.
Langshan and Lucao saw Lin Qianqian and Yunze standing at the door and immediately ran over to greet them.
This time, he didn't kneel down, but simply crossed his arms in front of his chest and bowed.
Wolf Mountain spoke first, eagerly: "My Lord, I have brought all the Mystic Stones that I and the priest have collected."
Lin Qianqian glanced at the black ox's back, saw the bulging bag, nodded, and led them into the mall.
Lin Qianqian and Yun Ze sat down on the sofa in the rest area. She asked the three beastmen to sit down as well, but they refused.
Deer Grass said to Black Ox, "Cowherd, quickly bring out the things."
Upon hearing this, the black ox called Niulang immediately put down the animal skin bag on his back, and then transformed from a black ox into a giant man nearly two meters tall.
He was only wearing a gray animal skin around his waist, had gray hair and brown eyes, but no eight-pack abs.
His entire body was skin and bones, which was somewhat eerie.
Lin Qianqian couldn't help but ask, "Is your beast wife named Weaver Girl?"
The beastman named Niulang paused for a moment, a blush rising to his dark face. He stammered, "I'm only an adult this year and haven't found a mate yet, so I don't have a beast wife."
Oh, thank goodness, Lin Qianqian breathed a sigh of relief.
It's more likely that it doesn't exist; it would be terrifying if it did!
The bull-beastman thought the divine messenger meant that his future beast companion would be named Weaver Girl, so he spent the rest of his life waiting for the beautiful female beast named Weaver Girl, thus wasting his life.
He only realized on his deathbed that he might have misunderstood the messenger's meaning.
However, he didn't have time to think much at the moment. Urged by Lu Cao, he quickly opened the animal skin package and poured out its contents.
Lin Qianqian looked down and saw that what had been poured out was probably Orichalcum.
Most of it is translucent, a small portion is emerald green, and there are also a few other colors mixed in.
Looking at the pile of Orichalcum stones of varying sizes on the ground, Lin Qianqian picked up a fist-sized green Orichalcum stone and held it up to the light to examine it carefully.
This one is the most translucent among all the stones in this pile; it's a crystal-clear green without a trace of turbidity or impurities.
Under the mall lights, it shimmered with a captivating glow.
Unlike other translucent orbs, this one not only contains spiritual energy but also possesses attributes; it is a crystallization of wood-attribute energy, or in other words, a spirit stone of the wood attribute.
Lin Qianqian frowned in thought, making the three orcs opposite her very nervous, afraid that Lin Qianqian would say there was something wrong with these Mystic Stones.
She thought for a while before asking, "Priestess Deer, do you orcs know what special uses this kind of mystic stone has?"
When Lu Cao heard the question, he pondered for a long time before finally answering, just as Lin Qianqian was getting impatient.
"Orichalcum is a type of stone found in many places on the continent of Orcs. Many years ago, the orcs called it Sacred Stone, and it was said that it could help orcs cultivate supernatural abilities. However, after the Great Cataclysm, most orcs could no longer use Sacred Stones to cultivate. Only a very small number of orcs could use the essence of high-grade Sacred Stones to cultivate supernatural abilities such as wind, fire, thunder, and lightning, while ordinary Sacred Stones were just pretty stones in the hands of orcs."
Then he pointed to the green sacred stone in Lin Qianqian's hand and said, "This is the essence of sacred stones. The reason our place is called Emerald Stone Valley is because it is rich in emerald green sacred stone essence. Now the orcs call this green sacred stone essence green sacred stone. Of course, there are also blue sacred stones, red sacred stones, and so on."
Upon hearing this, Lin Qianqian and Yun Ze exchanged a glance, feeling that something was amiss.
Yunze picked up another green crystal from the ground, examined it carefully, and then suddenly asked, "Why can't orcs use sacred stones to cultivate? Haven't you asked the Beast God?"
Oh right, Lin Qianqian finally realized what was wrong: the Beast God in this world really exists.
Orc priests can communicate with the Beast God, and the Beast God will not ignore this phenomenon.
The two looked at the deer-beastman, waiting for his answer.
"How could I not ask? The Beast God said that the demons that appeared during the Great Cataclysm corrupted the surviving orcs. The Beast God also bestowed upon them cultivation methods, but very few were able to learn them, which is why there are fewer and fewer orcs with superpowers now."
Hearing him say that, Lin Qianqian suddenly thought of the third mission of this transmigration system: to teach the orcs to read and cultivate, and to help the orc plane overcome the pollution disaster.
This is troublesome. Putting aside the fact that they can read, the fact that the orcs can no longer cultivate must be related to this pollution disaster.
"The disaster of pollution—just the name itself sounds ominous!"
Lin Qianqian silently used her divine sense to invade the bodies of the beastmen in front of her and found that their physical strength was great, but all their acupoints were blocked.
As expected, the source is not so easy to obtain!
Lin Qianqian unconsciously looked at Yun Ze, who was also looking at her.
Clearly, he had also scanned the area with his divine sense and discovered the problem.
The two exchanged glances; this issue still needs careful consideration.
"So, what is a cataclysmic event? How much do you know about cataclysmic events?"
"The Great Cataclysm..." Just as Luccao was about to say something, a commotion broke out.
It turned out that the beastmen who had just run away were returning one after another with their people, carrying bags on their backs.
They all poured out the crystals they had brought and piled them in front of Lin Qianqian.
Lin Qianqian looked at the pile of crystals that were so dazzling under the light, and couldn't help but cover her eyes with her hands. She lowered her hands after her eyes adjusted for a moment.
Apart from the bag from the Cui Cui tribe, most of the Ootengu stones brought over by the other tribe leaders and priests were ordinary Ootengu stones, just regular spirit stones.
There aren't many sacred stones with attributes, and the emerald green crystals brought by deer grass are the most abundant among them.
After examining all the Mystic Stones, Lin Qianqian roughly categorized them according to their quality and attributes, and then put them away.
Some ordinary rice, grains, vegetables, and meat were exchanged for such a huge pile of spirit stones. No, a huge pile of rare stones! A steal!
Seeing that the porridge was almost cooked, she said to the tribal chiefs and priests, "Priest Deer, please call the people from Cui Cui's tribe to come and distribute the porridge. The other tribes should take the meat, rice, and vegetables back with them. Before they go back, they should learn how to cook porridge from the robot at the gate."
After Lin Qianqian finished speaking, Wen Mingyue interjected, "For tribes without pots, we will provide a large iron pot or a large iron bucket for you to cook porridge."
"Let's all come back here tomorrow for a meeting to discuss how to better get through this winter."
Each tribe received two tons of chicken, duck, and pork, one ton of vegetables, thirty bags of salt, and five to ten tons of rice depending on the amount of Ooze they brought.
The tribe that had only brought a few orcs was embarrassed because they didn't expect Lin Qianqian to give them so much. They couldn't take all the things back with them.
Lin Qianqian had a robot drive a large flying vehicle that could seat dozens of people. Zhang Laodao, carrying a storage bag for supplies, took the flying vehicle to send the orcs back.
Lin Qianqian was still wondering whether she should send out a few more small airships to deliver food to those more distant tribes that were suffering from hunger and cold.
It's not really about the Orichalcum, but mainly because I'm afraid that if things continue like this, who knows how many orcs will freeze or starve to death next year.
Now that we've accepted the benefits from the Beast God, we must do our job well.
Moreover, while providing them with food and clothing, we can also collect the Mystic Stones they currently possess.
This way, you can make transactions, earn transaction points, complete tasks, and save the beast.
A win-win situation!
