Chapter 278 Primitive Beast World Cubs 52
After settling the snake eggs, Shen Ci opened the system and went to the territory section.
Leader: Shen Ci
Members: 3
Territory Level: 1 (Upgradeable)
The territory page has been updated. With the addition of the little snake, there are now three members. Shen Ci clicks to upgrade.
A level 1 territory should be the initial level; any territory with members can be at level 1.
After clicking upgrade, the page changed; the colors became darker, and some building functions were added.
"Barricade: The simplest defensive device, capable of withstanding attacks from wild beasts (10 wood)"
Thatched hut: Provides shelter from wind and rain, but is easily damaged (30 for thatch, 5 for wood).
Log cabin: A sturdier wooden house, moisture-proof (wood 15, thatch 10).
..."
The page has added many features. Seeing these, Shen Ci understood that after the territory is upgraded, he will finally be able to get rid of the manual manufacturing step.
This territory foundation stone functions like opening a manufacturing panel, allowing for one-click manufacturing, with players only needing to store raw materials.
This makes it more like a survival building game.
Now that the homestead has become territory, and has been upgraded to this point, Shen Ci estimates that there may be further disputes over territory or attacks in the future.
So she reached out and clicked a few times, creating barricades, and the territory's boundaries could be seen on the map.
She placed the barricades around the outside of the house to protect the chickens and ducks she raised, as well as the living area; she simply placed them around the perimeter.
We're running low on wood; it looks like we need to stockpile some raw materials.
However, with the territory upgrade and the territory panel, crafting things is much faster. As for these barricades, she would have to make them by hand.
Cutting down trees, splitting trees, manufacturing, transporting—and there are still so many of them; it will probably take several months to complete them all.
Now it's all good, one-click manufacturing, thank God! Thank you, system!
After constructing the barricades and checking the raw material reserves, I realized I'd need to spend more time searching for materials. With this control panel, my territory should easily improve.
Cang Ye quickly accepted the fact that he was about to have a younger sister. For him, it was initially shocking and unexpected.
Because he knew very well that this younger sister was definitely not born to their mother.
A mother cannot give birth to both a wolf and a snake. This egg was found by the mother, just as she found him in the first place.
Snake eggs need specific temperature, humidity, and environmental control to hatch, but Chen Ci didn't have those. After applying the purifying solution, the egg was ready.
She will hatch even if you leave her lying around; that's the magic of the potion.
That evening, a cracking sound came from the basin, but Shen Ci, who was fast asleep, didn't hear it. Cang Ye did hear it, but he didn't pay attention to it and didn't even think about it.
The next day, when Shen Ci opened her eyes, she was met with a pair of round, bright eyes.
Its body is bluish-black with light green scales, and it has a pair of large eyes on its head with amber pupils that make it look very intelligent.
There are several small, diamond-shaped purple scales in the middle of the forehead, which are more noticeable when viewed against the light.
The egg has hatched. Shen Ci clutched her heart, realizing this.
The baby hatched without any warning, and was just born like that!
The little snake also looked at Shen Ci curiously. Instinct told her that she should get close to the female in front of her. This was her mother, and her eggshell still had the scent left by this female.
"What's wrong?
"I am your mother. Your name is Qingming. Congratulations on hatching! What would you like to eat?"
Shen Ci sat up and gently patted her head. She was a pretty little girl, and this was her original name.
In the transmitted data, Shen Ci saw that Qingming, who had been corrupted, had to exert a great deal of effort to break through the nearly rotten eggshell.
Her body was contaminated, with many different colors, as if mold had grown on her body. The snake looked sickly, and there was a clump of dirt on her head.
It looked like it had crawled out of a garbage can; it was filthy and looked sickly.
Now, Qingming's eyes gleamed, his scales were full of luster, and the purple scales on his head were very spirited, which was the mark of his bloodline.
It was this mark that allowed her to be found by her people and have her identity recognized.
This beautiful little snake had its life ruined because it was poisoned by someone's scheme.
It seems that not all orcs are innocent and harmless, with simple minds. There are even snakes in the snake race that would harm their young.
Upon hearing Shen Ci speak, Qing Ming hesitated for a moment before rubbing his hand against hers.
They were both certain that the other person would not harm them.
The newborn snake was very small, only about the length of a hand. The baby snake didn't speak, so it's unclear whether it can't speak yet.
Newborn snakes don't need to eat; they need a few days to digest the remaining nutrients in their bodies. Newborn snakes still have nutrients from their yolk sac in their bodies.
It will take about three or four days to fully digest; in the early stages, you only need to provide clean water.
Shen Ci grabbed the little snake into her hand, and it automatically coiled around her. It was freezing cold outside, and snakes usually hibernate in winter, but this child was born in winter.
Orcs' physical structure should allow them to disregard these habits, right? Shen Ci doesn't understand orcs because they've never seen or studied them in modern times.
She scooped two bowls of water, both clean boiled water, one at room temperature, which was slightly cool because it was winter.
The other bowl contained lukewarm water that had been heated for a while.
Place both bowls of water in front of the baby snake, then put the baby snake in the middle and see which one she wants to drink.
The little snake sniffed both bowls and finally drank the warm water.
For the next few days, we don't need to worry about the baby snake's food. As for sleeping, with such a small body, we can just put some dry grass and animal hide in a large bowl, press it down a few times with our hands, and that will be her nest.
"Mother! Is this my sister?!"
Cang Ye knocked on the door after hearing her get up and came in. He looked at the snake next to Shen Ci with a shocked expression.
It was so small, really too small. Such a tiny snake cub, and he could have killed it with a single kick.
It's so tiny, you wouldn't even be able to find it if it accidentally fell on the ground. It's so fragile. Aren't snakes supposed to be really strong? How come it's so fragile when it's young?
"Yes, her name is Qingming."
Although you are not of the same race, you are all my children. I hope you will not fight and will get along well with each other.
The concept of race arises because different races of orcs grow up in different territories and are exposed to that kind of education.
But if they grew up together and their relationship developed over time, then racial hatred or anything like that is irrelevant to them.
