For the first time, the male and female educated youths at the settlement blushed with embarrassment as they were looked at with such warm gratitude by the villagers. Some of the male educated youths even lowered their heads. They knew what kind of people they were and they could not accept the gratitude from the villagers.
"Next, it's time to distribute the profits! Slaughter the wolves! Divide the meat!"
Abandoning their sons and husbands who were still groaning in pain, the women rushed toward the pile of wolf carcasses with gleaming eyes.
This is all meat! With these dozens of wolves, Malutun can have a prosperous year, and the children can even taste meat and satisfy their cravings.
As for his injured husband and son, that's not important. What's there to care about grown men who aren't missing any limbs?
The familiar aunties and older women busied themselves with tasks.
The wife of the hunter Ma placed her sleeping child next to her husband and stood somewhat timidly beside Gu Zuozuo.
"Gu Zhiqing, thank you. Also, I'm sorry for asking you for help when I knew the wolf pack was difficult to deal with. I'm really sorry."
She was terrified. The sight of her husband yelling at her with red eyes, telling her to take the children and leave, left her no time to think about what to do. She instinctively chose to seek help at the nearest educated youth settlement. After she regained her senses, she regretted it. Sending these educated youths who couldn't carry heavy loads up there was just sending them to their deaths. Fortunately, she was alright.
"I see the captain gave you two wolf pelts. I know how to tan pelts, so I'll tan them for you. I promise they'll be clean, soft, and comfortable."
Without hesitation, Gu Zuozuo placed the wolf pelt, which reeked of blood, in front of her, looking at her calmly to soothe her feelings of unease and guilt.
"Perfect, I don't know how, so I'll leave it to you."
Li Yang lowered her head in embarrassment, nodded awkwardly while holding the wolf skin, turned around and ran back to her husband and children, feeling even more grateful for Gu Zuozuo's kindness.
[Host, you're lying. You clearly know how, and are very proficient at it. This is deception.]
Gu Zuozuo rubbed her temples, feeling helpless and troubled by the system's incessant chatter in her mind. She wondered who had given it this personality—gossipy and serious, yet for no legitimate reason whatsoever.
"Sign in."
You'd better shut up, it's so noisy.
[Sign-in successful. Congratulations, host! You have received 1 Spirit Deer Meat, 5 High-Grade Spirit Spring Water, and one Perfect Transformation. Congratulations, host! You have signed in for 100 consecutive days, achieving the daytime achievement. Congratulations, host!

The transformation will begin in twelve hours. Please keep up the good work!]
Gu Zuozuo's brows are so furrowed they could trap a fly; a perfect makeover? What the hell?
[This means it will begin to optimize the host as a whole to its most perfect state, including your five senses, limbs, and internal organs. Don't complain! It consumes a lot of energy!]
The system was furious at Gu Zuozuo's disdain, and sparks almost flew from its head.
These ungrateful humans! So many life forms are hoping for optimization from them but they refuse. This woman's luck is bizarre; she managed to sign in and not only is she happy, she even complains.
"It's not that I'm disgusted, it's just that the environment I'm in now isn't suitable for being too flashy."
The system snorted coldly, its tone carrying a barely perceptible hint of grievance.
Do you think you're very low-key? Do you have some kind of misunderstanding about yourself?
