Chapter 306 For the Tribe (7)
Jingli led Yuan back to the cave.
Upon closer inspection, the kitten was indeed not a kitten. Its ears were round, just like those of its kind. However, because it was still young, it looked like an ordinary kitten at first glance.
Jingli patted Yuan's little ears, and the other meowed sweetly at him.
"Can't you speak?"
The kitten twitched its ears.
"When can I take human form?"
The kitten continued wagging its tail.
Jingli sensed that the concentration of spiritual energy-like substances in their area was even higher than outside.
Expanding his perception, Jingli even sensed a vitality stronger than that around him.
That must be where the Tree of Life is located.
Jingli stroked the kitten's chin.
"With the Tree of Life around, will you be able to transform into human form even faster?"
The kitten meowed twice and snuggled up to Jingli.
Jingli felt as if she had returned to the time when the short film "Spring" had not yet materialized.
Three days had passed since they emerged from the rift, through the great battle, and on their journey.
I only ate some fruit along the way and didn't sleep well. Even though the scenery was the body of a monster, I still felt a bit tired.
He ate some regular dry food from the system to fill his stomach, and then took out the cat food he had stockpiled in Ruan Qinglan's world and opened it for Yuan Xiaomao.
The kitten wasn't picky about food yet, but it must have been really hungry, because it wasn't picky at all and started eating with smacking noises.
This canned food was personally selected by the cat owner, 6058. It tastes excellent and is suitable for all ages.
6058 Selected Products
After finishing their meal, Jingli selected some information related to wilderness survival, infrastructure building, and farming from the system. With a thought, she entered her personal space and began studying, something she hadn't done in a long time.
6058 had previously arranged the more practical content in order of difficulty from low to high, but there were a lot of them. This time, Jingli only briefly went through all the categories and selected the tutorials that were relatively more cost-effective.
The tribe now has its own order.
According to Qingfeng, a social division of labor has basically developed here. The beastmen have developed a sense of trade and have begun to produce some processed goods, such as the weapons that the beastmen used to cut up large animals.
All indications suggest that the tribe is currently in a relatively stable stage of development. People are well-fed, clothed, and housed, and have surplus resources to exchange. Therefore, improving food and clothing is not so urgent.
Instead, it's about tribal development.
Firstly, regarding the most basic accommodations, the tribes primarily utilize natural terrain or materials for construction.
From the perspective of primitive society, this is not bad, but rather normal.
But there are invaders in this world.
Clearly, the invaders' level of development is far ahead of this primitive world. Under such circumstances, the orcs will inevitably be at a disadvantage if they only rely on their powerful bodies to resist.
Then comes public works.
Aside from farming, there was little sense of "common" in the tribes. Although the various tribes had gathered in the Cangbei tribe, they still relied on the most powerful Flying Tiger tribe for combat strength.
Such reliance means that when encountering enemies, the tribe will not achieve a synergistic effect, but will instead become a burden.
The inability of other tribes to leverage their strengths and provide assistance during critical periods may lead to the accumulation of conflicts between different tribes, creating a vicious cycle.
Finally, there is the issue of construction based on the public good.
Because of a lack of public awareness, the tribe, despite having its own territory, still faces the same old problems, relying on its original geographical advantages.
The territory of the Cangbei tribe is indeed excellent, nestled against mountains and beside water, with rugged terrain all around, forming a natural defensive line.
But that alone is not enough.
Truth is within the range of cannon fire.
When the invaders have an overwhelming advantage in firepower, natural defenses are completely ineffective.
Therefore, accelerating tribe construction and enhancing firepower are absolutely the most important things right now.
After finishing organizing all this, Jingli's personal space ran out of time, and he came out, beginning to think about how he, as an outsider, could gain a certain degree of influence within the tribe.
For Jingli, time continued to flow outside. Yuanmao licked the can of food, and soon fell asleep with her cat face buried in it.
Jingli picked up the little tiger cat, placed it on the small soft cushion she had just taken out, packed up the remaining half of the can, and put it back into the system space.
He tiptoed out of the cave and looked back to see Yuan Maomao's small body rising and falling slightly with her breathing, her tense emotions from thinking relaxing.
He sat outside the cave, breathing in the unusually fresh air of this world, quietly watching the special seeds grow.
6058 flew over and landed on his shoulder as he sat down in the scene: [The system is offline; we can't contact the outside world at all.]
Jingli gave a soft "hmm".
This was the worst-case scenario they had considered when they discovered they couldn't find the timeline, and neither of them was too surprised.
[6058: Hey, you idiot, look, the house Xiaoming chose seems pretty good.]
In no time, the seed had grown from the size of a walnut to the size of an apple, and you could vaguely make out that it was a small villa.
Although the entire structure is made of wood, the craftsman's skill makes it look even more impressive than a red brick and green tile house.
Considering that the houses grown from seeds are for people to live in, the builders were very particular about the wood they chose. It was hard, not easily ignited, and would not attract common insects to eat it.
In the cultivation world, it is actually a relatively common building material. In this world, although it has its peculiarities, it is not considered strange.
If this world can develop into a world of cultivation in the future, then this moment can be considered ancient times.
The plant species and rarity of ancient times can naturally be compared with the cultivation world of later development.
[6058: I heard they even have interior decorations.]
[Keiri: Huh? How did you do that?]
[6058: I don't know, maybe the seller is exaggerating, but Lu Xiaoming definitely believed it.]
Jingli chuckled.
Both of them enjoyed this brief moment of idle chatter.
Appropriate relaxation is essential for healthy development.
A short while later, an orc arrived with the necessary supplies that Qingfeng had mentioned.
The newcomer was somewhat reserved. Seeing Jingli sitting at the cave entrance, he stopped a few meters away from him, feeling a bit embarrassed, and put down the things he was carrying.
"Hello, outsider. These are the supplies that Zhi sent us. Some of them are for the cubs. The tribe will ensure their food, clothing and other necessities until they reach adulthood. The other part is for you as our gift of gratitude."
Jingli stood up and said gently, "Thank you."
The orc blushed slightly, a cute blush spreading across his healthy, dark skin.
"He asked me to pass on a message: if you are willing to stay in our tribe, you can go to him after you have rested. His residence is in a large cave in the center of the tribe, next to a large open space in our tribe. It is easy to find."
Jingli nodded.
