Chapter 18 The Female Master is Really Amazing
Contribution points?
It took Jiang Xi a while to process the information.
The orcs exiled to the Cursed Lands are not without the opportunity to leave.
Once an individual contributes 1,000 to the tribe, or a family of ten or more contributes 10,000 to the tribe, they can leave the Cursed Land.
For families with more than ten members, the contribution points increase by 1000, 900... and finally down to 100 for each additional beastman.
Based on current experience, a female can have a maximum of twenty marriage contracts.
Contribution points in the Cursed Lands are generally earned by repelling the tide of cursed beasts.
Each time you participate in a resistance, you earn 1 contribution point.
1 contribution point for each repeated cursed beast killed.
However, only orcs can participate in the contribution to the cursed beast tide.
Females can generally only gain contribution points through tribal collective gathering tasks and activities, as well as by giving birth to offspring.
Therefore, it is almost impossible for a female to meet 1000 contribution points on her own.
Most of the females exiled to the cursed lands accumulate contribution points through family relationships.
The females will try to recruit as many beast husbands as possible to accumulate contribution points.
Even the most skilled beastman, who participates in every cursed beast tide, would need three years to accumulate 1000 points if he couldn't hunt the cursed beasts.
If we consider the family unit, we also need to average the contribution points of the female master and other beastmen.
In addition, the orcs suffer injuries and need to recuperate when resisting the cursed beast tide, and not every orc can hunt cursed beasts, so most orcs cannot contribute 300 points a year.
Therefore, it would take at least five years for a family of ten to accumulate 10,000 contribution points.
However, due to various unforeseen circumstances, most families cannot accumulate 10,000 contribution points even after ten years.
Over time, they stopped clinging to it and left.
As contribution points and years increase, orcs and females can compete for important positions in the tribe, gain a certain degree of influence, and improve their quality of life.
The 200 contribution points given by the tribe are equivalent to killing 200 cursed beasts or having two offspring.
The cursed land is affected by the power of the curse. Even though the females go to the large tribes in the Giant Tree Forest every spring to purify their bodies with the curse power of the Mother Tree of Life, it is still difficult for them to conceive.
Even if the female lays the eggs, they may die during the incubation process due to the contamination of the cursed power by the father beastman.
Therefore, 200 contribution points is a very generous reward!
According to Jiang Xi, even Mu Ling, who is currently the strongest hunter of cursed beasts, only has 260 contribution points.
She naturally wouldn't refuse.
"Thank you, tribe."
An unexpected bonus, which is quite nice.
Not long after the chieftain left, Marie's beastman came and gave them a basket of fruit, saying that he had exchanged it with a tribe in the Giantwood Forest when he passed by.
Jiang Xi didn't refuse this time; she really wanted to eat fruit.
Moreover, good neighbors reciprocate kindness!
Because it was winter, the fruits in the basket were all very fresh, but some of the juicier ones looked like they were frozen.
She didn't recognize any of the fruits, so she took some out, washed them clean, and put them in a wooden bowl on the ground.
As she casually picked a fruit that looked like a peach, she thought about getting the tables and chairs ready tomorrow.
Sitting on a straw mat like this, with food placed on the ground, is so primitive and inconvenient!
The fruit is sweet, but it's too sweet for your teeth.
Jiang Xi took a bite, her teeth chattering, and she hissed.
Lu Liufeng and Mu Ling were still eating, looking like they were about to finish cleaning up all the food.
Lu Liufeng noticed the female master's unusual behavior, raised his amber eyes, and looked at her questioningly.
Jiang Xi shook her head.
"It's nothing, my teeth are just too cold."
However, aside from the initial toothache, eating icy fruit while roasting it over a fire has a unique flavor.
Lu Liufeng reached out and placed the remaining fruits on the hot coals.
"It won't be cold if you bake it."
Jiang Xi wanted to stop her, but then she thought that she didn't recognize these fruits either, and what if they would taste even better when baked?
Mu Ling couldn't stop eating, stuffing braised pork into her mouth while speaking indistinctly.
"The females like to eat it, so I'll go to the Giant Tree Forest in a few days to exchange for some."
Jiang Xi found it really funny because Mu Ling's attitude towards her had completely changed.
"No need for that much trouble. Maybe there are some in the Jehol Valley. After we run out of food at home, I'll go for another day to look for them."
In the Giantwood Forest, the nearest tribe is 4 days away from the airspace orcs, and 12 days away from the land.
In winter, when the snow is thick, traveling by land takes even longer.
That was too much trouble.
The roasted pig brains in the stone bowl over the charcoal fire are ready, and the aroma is irresistible.
Neither Lu Liufeng nor Mu Ling had ever eaten this before, and for a moment they were a little skeptical: could it really be eaten?
Jiang Xi smiled and said, "Try it, and don't force yourself if you don't like it."
She didn't like eating pig brains before.
It wasn't until she tasted someone else's roasted pig brain that she became completely obsessed and begged them to teach her the secret recipe.
Although the conditions are limited and the seasonings are not complete, ginger and garlic are enough to remove the fishy smell. Add chili and a few spices, and it will be delicious!
Mu Ling was the first to try it.
Because he had doubted it countless times today, but he had been proven wrong each time.
He took a bite, and his eyes lit up.
"It tastes like this, not surprising at all."
The reason they don't eat many parts of their prey is that they are difficult to eat no matter how they are prepared.
But unexpectedly, after being processed by the female owner, these parts all turned into delicious food!
The wolf ears and tail that Mu Ling had finally managed to retract reappeared uncontrollably, drooping to the ground and sweeping left and right.
Jiang Xi pretended not to see it.
After all, it had already popped up once while cooking, and Jiang Xi still remembered how embarrassed Mu Ling was when he hurriedly took it back after discovering it.
Tsk.
No wonder wolves are the ancestors of dogs; they wag their tails when given a treat.
But they also possess a sense of shame and are obsessed with saving face.
Lu Liufeng also tried it, and his amber eyes lit up just as brightly.
He looked at the female master and smiled gently, "The female master is really amazing, she can do everything."
Jiang Xi's heart skipped a beat at his sudden tender gaze.
Moreover, it's unclear whether it was just her imagination.
She always felt that Lu Liufeng was sometimes ambiguous with her.
The moment the thought crossed her mind, Jiang Xi quickly shook her head, rejecting it.
That's such a narcissistic way of thinking!
They couldn't wait to find the Golden Soul Fruit and dissolve their marriage contract.
Moreover, it's perfectly normal to change your attitude because of delicious food.
This will not affect everyone's decision to break up later.
Seeing the female master shake her head, Lu Liufeng's amber eyes shone with light, and his smile became even more gentle.
"The female master is too modest."
