Chapter 308 The Alliance of Ten Thousand Beasts
Yueqing nodded, "Only a stable, predictable, and fair environment can stimulate everyone's enthusiasm for trading. When they discover that they can exchange the herbs they are good at gathering or the ores they mine for food and tools that they never dared to dream of before, the vitality of the entire Beast City will be mobilized."
Isn't this the most primitive prototype of a market economy?
Build trust with rules, promote circulation with trust, and create value with circulation.
"A divine oracle! This is absolutely a divine oracle from the guardian deity!" The elder was so excited that his beard trembled, and his gaze toward Yueqing was almost devout.
Yueqing was somewhat amused and exasperated. She had simply explained some basic sociological and economic common sense in a way that they could understand.
Just as the discussion was in full swing, Silver Tiger walked in.
He had already put on a large animal skin vest, which covered the wound on his chest. Although his steps were still a little heavy, his aura of ruling the world was not diminished at all.
"Boss!"
"Lord Silver Tiger!"
Everyone immediately fell silent and bowed respectfully.
Silver Tiger's gaze didn't linger on anyone. He walked straight to Yueqing's side, casually picked up a piece of warm roasted meat, took a bite, and then glanced at Tiger Roar: "How are the preparations going?"
"Reporting to the boss! Everything is ready!"
Hu Xiao immediately recounted Yueqing's plan, speaking with great enthusiasm.
Silver Tiger listened quietly, his golden eyes revealing an undisguised pride and gentleness unique to Yueqing.
He glanced at the sketch on the ground, then at Yueqing beside him, who was sipping her meat porridge. His deep voice carried an undeniable determination: "Do as she says. Huxiao, you are in full charge of the trading area and the venue setup. If we don't have enough manpower, we'll bring in soldiers."
"Yes!" Hu Xiao accepted the order and excitedly turned around to make the arrangements.
The elders also took their leave, each with an unprecedented level of enthusiasm on their faces.
Soon, only the four of them remained in the kitchen.
"Aren't you afraid he won't handle everything well if you entrust everything to him?" Yueqing asked casually while wiping Xiaoshu's mouth.
"He is Hu Feng's son, the future clan leader."
Yin Hu's voice was calm, "He has to learn to grow up. If he can't handle things properly with the blueprints you've drawn, he doesn't deserve to be in that position."
His logic is simple and direct: trust and opportunity have been given; if you can't seize them, it's a matter of ability.
Yueqing smiled and said nothing more.
She liked this feeling, not that she was unilaterally expressing her ideas, but that her ideas could be understood and adopted by him, and quickly turned into action.
This is a tacit understanding built on absolute trust and strength.
She looked up and met Silver Tiger's staring gaze.
"What are you thinking about?" he asked.
"I was thinking, our 'Queen' seems to be busier than you, the 'King'," Yueqing joked.
A faint smile curved at the corner of Silver Tiger's mouth.
He reached out and tucked a stray strand of hair behind her ear, the warm touch of his fingertips fleeting by.
“You are mine.” His voice was low, with a hint of hoarseness from his lingering injuries. “The City of Ten Thousand Beasts is mine too. So, they are all yours.”
The simple and straightforward logic made Yueqing's heart skip a beat.
...
Meanwhile, in the City of Ten Thousand Beasts, the settlements of various tribes were thrown into turmoil by the arrival of the tiger clan messenger.
Wolf Clan Camp.
The wolf chieftain sat in the main tent, toying with a sharp bone blade in his hand, listening to the reports from the scouts below.
"An invitation? Not a summons?"
He narrowed his long, narrow eyes, his gaze full of scrutiny and suspicion. "And you said you were going to hold some kind of 'Blessing and Rebirth Conference'?"
"Yes, Chief."
The scout replied respectfully, "That's what Tiger Roar, the messenger of the Tiger Clan, said. He also said that the All-Beast Alliance would be established at the assembly, along with a public trading area where all tribes could trade fairly."
"Fair?" The wolf chieftain scoffed, as if he'd heard the biggest joke in the world. "In Beast City, might makes right. That Silver Tiger guy was so domineering yesterday, like he wanted to devour the whole sky, and today he's all vegetarian?"
He stood up and paced back and forth inside the tent.
“Something’s definitely fishy. Either Silver Tiger was seriously injured in the battle with that evil creature and is now outwardly strong but inwardly weak, trying to appease us with a conciliatory approach. Or…”
A glint of light flashed in his eyes. "It was that female named Yueqing who was behind this. I heard that yesterday in the Tiger Clan Council Hall, it was that female who rejected Silver Tiger's 'summoning' order."
"Then... Chief, should we go or not?"
"Go! Of course we're going!" The wolf chieftain abruptly stopped, sheathing his bone blade at his waist. "I want to see for myself what kind of show that tiger and his clever queen are up to!"
Similar discussions unfolded among all tribes, including the Bear Tribe, the Ape Tribe, and the Deer Tribe.
Doubt, hesitation, curiosity, and greed were all intertwined. But in the end, all the tribal leaders made the same decision as the wolf chief.
go!
No one dared to refuse Silver Tiger, even if it was just an invitation.
Moreover, the novel concept of a public trading area, like a boulder thrown into a lake, stirred up huge ripples in the hearts of all the weak tribes.
An unprecedented grand event is about to begin in the City of Beasts.
At this moment, unbeknownst to anyone, beneath the deep forbidden land of the Tiger Clan, within a tiny crack, a pair of ethereal eyes were observing everything on the ground with great interest.
To it, the busyness, planning, and anticipation of these tiny creatures are nothing more than the unconscious revelry of ingredients before a grand feast.
That ancient hunger for "existence" itself seemed to have intensified.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
On the day of the Blessing and Rebirth Assembly, the City of Beasts witnessed a long-awaited grand occasion. The assembly was held in an open area outside the Tiger Clan's territory, demonstrating sincerity while maintaining an appropriate distance.
But at this moment, all the orcs in the entire Beast City were focused on the "public trading area" that served as an appetizer.
This place is like a pot of boiling stew, lively, novel, and with a touch of wild fragrance.
Tribes that used to bar their teeth and show off to each other from miles apart are now huddled together.
The stalls were filled with all sorts of things, emitting a peculiar aroma of roasted meat, herbs, minerals, and damp earth.
A female from the deer tribe is nervously guarding a small basket of mushrooms that emit a faint glow; they are a unique product of her tribe.
A burly bear-like man swaggered over, his massive body casting a shadow that nearly swallowed her whole.
"These mushrooms, in exchange for this piece of jerky." The burly bear-man casually tossed down a pitifully small piece of jerky, his tone leaving no room for argument.
The female deer was so frightened that her ears drooped. Usually, when faced with this situation, she had no choice but to accept her fate.
"cough!"
A deliberately amplified cough was heard.
Hu Yan crossed his arms, the huge stone axe resting on his shoulder, and a crooked, order-bearing armband made of red vines tied to his arm.
