Chapter 513: You Should Look After Your Little Brother
Wu Yue's eyes lit up instantly: "These are all good things!"
"Host, the Stone Skin Fruit and Earth Worm Oil have high points in the mall; do you want to consider selling some to the mall?"
Tongzi rubbed his little paws obsequiously, his eyes full of anticipation.
"I only have one myself, and the Stone Skin Fruit is down to half; you must be dreaming if you think otherwise."
Wu Yue decisively refused the Dog System's suggestion.
"By the way, I've already completed that courting-death task; shouldn't we settle the task reward?"
Upon hearing that, Tongzi reluctantly pulled his wistful gaze away from the Earth Worm Oil and Stone Skin Fruit.
"Ding~ Congratulations, host, for completing the 'No Courting, No Death' Task One; reward: one top-tier lottery ticket, 1000 points. Keep pushing, host, strive to court death!"
The system's voice fell, and Wu Yue's mouth twitched violently—damn, this effort to court death.
Life loves me, I love life!
"Host, a top-tier lottery ticket! Want to go wash your hands?"
Tongzi bounced excitedly.
Wu Yue gave a sideways glance at the short-statured youngster: "Do you misunderstand my hands? As someone favored by the God of Luck, I don't need to wash my hands—I'm a Euro Emperor!"
Tongzi gave a dry chuckle: "You're absolutely right."
"Ding~ Use the top-tier lottery ticket?"
Wu Yue rubbed her hands eagerly: "Confirm usage."
"Activate the lottery wheel."
The system's voice fell, and a five-colored lottery wheel appeared before her eyes, with a prominent button in the center emblazoned with the words "Courting Death".
Wu Yue reached out and pressed the button; the lottery wheel spun rapidly. Gazing at the dazzling array of items she'd never dared imagine, she unabashedly wiped the drool from the corner of her mouth.
"Host, don't shake your hands!"
In the system space, Tongzi also clenched his little fists, nervously watching the constantly spinning wheel.
After taking a few deep breaths, Wu Yue's trembling fingers reached toward the central button.
"Ding~ La la la! Congratulations on winning the grand prize!"
A cheerful melody rang out, and Wu Yue and Tongzi's hearts leapt with joy—had they really won the grand prize?
"Now distributing the prize; please choose a storage location: System Space or cave."
Wu Yue decisively chose the System Space Drop.
"Prize distribution complete; looking forward to your next lottery!"
The system fell silent, Wu Yue and Tongzi became excited, and eagerly opened the system space...
"I've prepared my acceptance speech; are you just going to show me this?"
Looking at the shabby ox cart in the system space, Wu Yue felt her heart clench—she almost fainted.
Tongzi lowered the chubby hands he'd been readying to clap, giving a half-hearted consolation: "Host, it's an ox cart—this is a boost in productivity; later, when we go out gathering, we'll be able to bring back more food."
Wu Yue gave him a sideways look: "You really think I'm stupid? Don't an ox cart need a road first? Would I have to build a road just to use this cart?"
"Ah!" Wu Yue sighed.
"Ah!" Tongzi sighed.
"Good thing there are 1000 points to soothe my wounded little heart."
"Shaman Yue, may I come in?"
From outside the cave came the voice of the Dong Sang Clan Chief; Yuan Lang shoved the last piece of Stone Skin Fruit flesh into his mouth, then kicked the little brother who dared to snatch his food to the side: "Go see what's happening."
"Boss, you're no longer the good boss who cared for his underlings."
Yuan Lang gave him a sideways glance: "Enough with the nonsense, hurry up!"
Wu Yue gloated on the side with a hehe laugh.
Teng Qian rolled his eyes irritably, then walked out.
The two didn't know what they'd said outside; Teng Qian strode in, smiling like a blooming flower: "Yue, the Dong Sang Clan Chief brought some Stone Skin Fruit, saying he wants to give it to us."
Wu Yue raised her brows slightly: "Oh, let him in."
"Dog Host, could you give me one of those Stone Skin Fruits?"
Tongzi was jumping up and down anxiously in the system space.
Wu Yue waved her hand generously: "Don't worry; as long as there are plenty of Stone Skin Fruits, I'll definitely give you one."
The Dong Sang Clan Chief led a dozen or so pure human males into the cave, with his companion Awa at his side.
"Lady Wu Yue, Awa just went out and gathered all the mature Stone Skin Fruits; these are all dedicated to you."
Seeing the pure human males holding the Stone Skin Fruits, Wu Yue felt delighted—these fruits can be used as medicine, and they're cool and refreshing, incredibly tasty; in hot weather, a bite is absolutely wonderful.
Wu Yue glanced at Awa with a smile: "Thanks to the Dong Sang Clan Chief and Awa."
Having received the Shaman's thanks, the Dong Sang Clan Chief and Awa were overjoyed.
Awa led the tribespeople to pile the Stone Skin Fruits in the cave's corner, while Wu Yue turned to the Dong Sang Clan Chief: "These Stone Skin Fruits must be precious; you've given us so many—I wonder what you'd like in return."
The Dong Sang Clan Chief quickly bowed: "This is our gratitude to Shaman Yue for helping us retrieve the seized items; how could we possibly ask you for anything else?"
Although I know this is just flattery, hearing it still feels quite pleasant.
"Will you trade these Stone Skin Fruits with other tribes?"
Seeing Wu Yue ask this, the Dong Sang Clan Chief's heart leapt with joy: "For trading, although there aren't many Stone Skin Fruit trees, each tree bears plenty of fruit, so we keep a portion for ourselves and trade the rest with other tribes."
The Stone Skin Fruit is a medicinal fruit; therefore, whenever it ripens, other tribes send people over to trade.
"What do you use to trade? Salt?"
In this world, precious salt functions like currency.
The Dong Sang Clan Chief scratched his head: "Salt works too, but most tribes usually trade precious herbs and fruits from their own territories, and we also need some highly precious animal hides."
Wu Yue nodded: "Then we'll use seasoning to trade from now on; one bamboo jar of seasoning for twenty stone skin fruits. Does Chief Dong Sang think that's okay?"
"Sea... seasoning!"
Chief Dong Sang only felt his head a bit dizzy; didn't Shaman Yue say that seasoning is also scarce in their tribe?
Seems to know what he was thinking, Wu Yue sighed helplessly: "Looks like we need to speed up the search for herbs and fruits; otherwise, next time the stone skin fruits ripen, I won't have anything to trade with."
"Stone skin fruit trees for trade?"
A low, magnetic Beastfolk voice sounded from the side, drawing everyone's attention in the cave.
Wu Yue turned her head to look at Yuan Lang, giving him a "you're awesome" look; she was about to ask him.
Chief Dong Sang blinked slightly, then gave a wry smile: "Shaman Yue, do you want to take the stone skin fruit trees back to plant in our tribe?"
