Chapter 790: Operation to Earn Points

Having made up her mind, Wu Yue went straight to the nearby beastman guard, told him her idea, and asked him to pass it on to Shaman Sir Mu Kong.

When it was time for lunch, Shaman Sir Mu Kong led several beastman warriors, carrying lots of pre-cut game meat and some wrinkled fruits and wild vegetables, and brought them over.

"Shaman Yue, do you think these foods are alright?"

Seeing the meat, wild vegetables, and fruits obviously carefully selected in the leather bag, Wu Yue felt both amused and moved.

"Shaman Sir Mu Kong, I only need a small piece for my shamanic power research; I'm not lacking food."

She drew the small dagger at her waist, stepped forward, and cut off a thumb-sized piece from each strip of game meat.

She also took a few fruits and wild vegetables.

"I only need these; just now my guardian beastman returned from hunting, so we have enough food."

"Thank you for your kindness, Shaman Sir Mu Kong."

Mu Kong was surprised; game is hard to catch in the cold season.

All tribespeople fear not having enough food; even shamans and beastman warriors in tribes with ample food unconsciously strive to obtain more food to store.

This was still the first time he had seen someone refuse food.

The displeasure he had felt in his heart after hearing the beastmen's message that Shaman Yue had come to ask for food instantly vanished.

He glared at the beastman warrior behind him who had delivered the message, and spoke more sincerely: "Shaman Yue, you should still accept these; food is scarce in the cold season, you can have your guardian beastman turn this game into jerky for storage."

After saying that, he pondered for a moment then lowered his voice: "You will still need to go with the Great Shaman to the Super Tribe; the shamans and beastman warriors there are very proud."

"You had better prepare as much food as possible, so even if you encounter... you won't go hungry."

"In the Super Tribe's territory, without their permission, even your guardian beastman cannot freely go out to hunt."

"You can only go out with their hunting party, but the food you receive will surely be given priority to their own tribe members."

He gestured to the beastman warrior behind him to place the food in front of the leather tent, then ordered the beastman warriors to fetch several female slaves: "Shaman Yue, during your stay in our tribe, these female slaves will be responsible for working for you."

"You can also entrust them with making jerky."

"These female slaves are all skilled at making jerky."

Faced with the sincere and earnest Shaman Sir Mu Kong, Wu Yue chose to accept his goodwill.

However, as he was leaving, she also sent over a processed small beast pelt.

The soft, thick pelt made Mu Kong's expression grow even more kind and sincere.

Even his small departing back revealed a hint of excitement.

The several female slaves were also diligent; after asking Wu Yue, they busily began processing the game meat to make jerky.

Their own lunch was merely a handful of unknown grass seeds.

Wu Yue gave them a palm-sized piece of game meat, receiving a handful of grass seeds in exchange.

The female slaves looked at the meat chunk forcibly stuffed into their companion's hand and went into a frenzy of brainstorming.

"Could this shaman sir possibly like eating grass seeds?"

"Should we go tell Shaman Sir Mu Kong, so that next time we bring food we prepare more grass seeds?"

Saying it, doing it; the older female slave, holding the meat chunk, trotted over to Shaman Sir Mu Kong to report Wu Yue's exchange of grass seeds.

Shaman Sir Mu Kong nodded satisfactorily, praised the female slaves, and then said that dividing the meat chunk among them would be enough.

Leaving aside the female slaves' ecstasy, Wu Yue returned to the tent and uploaded several kinds of game meat, fruits, wild vegetables, and the handful of grass seeds she had just obtained into the system space.

"Beep~ Scanned sandworm meat chunk, rewarding host with 100 system points."

"Beep~ Scanned sand snake meat chunk, rewarding host with 100 system points."

"Beep~..."

"Beep~..."

After a long series of beeping sounds, Wu Yue looked at the points number on the system panel and was overjoyed.

She had thought that with the system's stinginess, getting 10 points per item would already be good.

Who would have thought it actually starts at 100 points as a baseline.

What is there to hesitate about?

She immediately got up and walked over to Yuan Lang, who was cultivating.

Feeling her approach, Yun Lang opened his eyes, stretched out his arms, and pulled her into his embrace.

"What's wrong? Aren't you resting?"

Just now Yue had closed her eyes and leaned against the hide mat; he had thought she was asleep.

While speaking, he brought over the meat soup placed beside the fire basin.

"You haven't had lunch yet; the meat soup isn't too hot, have a bit."

Wu Yue took it with a grin, and while drinking the meat soup, she told Yuan Lang about the points.

Upon hearing that game meat, wild vegetables, and grass seeds could be exchanged for points, the beastman's eyes instantly lit up.

Over the next few days, the two of them settled into a hunting-and-gathering life like they had in the Polar Forest.

That day, the two rode the Cloud-Stepping just returned to Shaman Sir Mu Kong's small outpost.

Upon receiving the beastmen's report, Shaman Sir Mu Kong hurried over.

"Shaman Yue, the Great Shaman summons you."

As he spoke, there remained a hint of anxiety in his brow.

Wu Yue raised her eyebrows, took a palm-sized leather pouch, and handed it to Shaman Sir Mu Kong: "I don't know what the Great Shaman wants with me."

Shaman Sir Mu Kong quickly reached out to take the leather pouch Wu Yue handed him; its weight and feel made the corner of his mouth twitch slightly.

But thinking of the Great Shaman's place, his brow involuntarily furrowed again.

"That old poisonous thing, that old bastard, somehow has made contact with a trading squad from the Super Tribe."

"That Super Tribe trading squad has also just exchanged for precious snow salt from the Bai Sha Yan Hai."

I heard you and your clansmen are here, wanting to see you; if your tribe really has territory in Bai Sha Yan Hai, they might have seen you when they went to trade.

Wu Yue heard this and gave a cold smile; that old poisonous fellow probably suspects her and Yuan Lang's identities and wants to verify them this way.

As for the issue of her and Yuan Lang's identities, she isn't worried at all.

On the contrary, Wu Yue is very curious about the trading team of the super tribe that can go to Bai Sha Yan Hai to exchange snow salt, as said by the Wood Void Shaman.

She had originally planned to form a trading team after returning to exchange goods in the Infinite Desert.

But she didn't expect that the super tribe here already had its own exchange team.

Although the Infinite Desert's location is harsh, the tribes here are not at all closed off.

After the Wood Void Shaman finished speaking, he kept secretly observing Wu Yue's expression.

He saw that she wasn't the slightest bit nervous or guilty; instead, she was especially excited and pleased.

"That's great; if that super tribe's exchange team has indeed traded goods with our tribe."

"Then we wouldn't need to trouble the Great Shaman wasting a leadership quota."

"We could just go together with the people of that super tribe."
