Chapter 317 Self-Recommendation (Bonus Chapter for Lu Li, the Lucky Koi)
Chu Jiayun frowned and nodded, but asked with some worry, "The Red Fox Tribe has violated the alliance between tribes by doing such a thing, hasn't it? All tribes are required to swear an oath to the Beast God, promising not to clash with other tribes when the winter beast tide arrives!"
Ruan Xiyue nodded: "Xia Weier went to the Holy City this time to file a complaint. We have evidence that the Red Fox Tribe colluded with the wandering orcs. The Beast King definitely can't ignore it. So, we've temporarily passed the Red Fox Tribe hurdle."
"As for whether they will come looking for us again in the future, that's a matter for later."
"However, the Treasure Rat tribe made a request to me. They want the cubs of the Treasure Rat tribe that I give birth to, which have the ancestral bloodline of the Treasure Rat, to return to the Treasure Rat tribe when they are eight years old."
"I want to gather forces to serve me and protect my cubs. On the one hand, I hope to strengthen the Cheetah Lion tribe so that other tribes will not dare to bully me easily."
"On the other hand, I hope that if my cubs want to go out and explore, it should be their own free choice. It shouldn't be other tribes using their power to demand that I hand over my cubs, and I, due to my weakness, have no choice but to hand over my own cubs."
Luo Yurou and the others are all females and mothers with cubs, so their empathy and compassion are naturally stronger.
They understood perfectly what Ruan Xiyue meant.
If they were in Ruan Xiyue's shoes, they would realize that they probably couldn't have thought further ahead or done as well.
Luo Yurou nodded: "I understand! Leave the selection of cubs to us!"
"We will definitely choose the cubs with the best potential!"
Chu Jiayun became even more cautious and meticulous. She asked, "Your selection criteria are qualifications, is there nothing else?"
Ruan Xiyue explained her specific criteria for selection: the candidate must have a harmonious family and be extremely loyal to the Cheetah Lion Tribe.
Luo Yurou and the others didn't even ask Ruan Xiyue why there were these conditions; they just silently noted them down.
This piqued Ruan Xiyue's curiosity: "Aren't you going to ask me why I added these requirements?"
Luo Yurou spread her hands: "A harmonious family raises children who are not extreme. They are loyal to the Cheetah Lion Tribe, so they won't leak out anything the orcs you find to teach them. They also have good relations with their neighbors, which means their family is friendly to the orcs around them."
"Besides, as you said, experience teaches people, and you'll understand after just one time. Even if we keep asking you about those principles, we might not be able to truly empathize with them. But once we see things through, we'll understand the meaning behind your choices."
The more Ruan Xiyue looked at the small group of women she had helped build, the more accomplished she felt.
After pondering for a while, Chu Jiayun finally offered her opinion: "I think we need to expand the scale of the sheep beast breeding, yarn production, blanket production, sweater production lines, etc."
Luo Yurou nodded and looked at Ruan Xiyue.
Ruan Xiyue pursed her lips: "I'd also like to push this forward. However, the problem is that the various tribes have just signed contracts with our tribe. They are still in the preparation stage."
"If we directly send our tribe's orcs to help and urge them to implement it."
"First of all, I feel that the orc manpower resources required... cannot be mobilized in a short period of time."
Secondly, I worry that if we rush them, and the orcs, who are not skilled in diplomacy, handle this matter, it might cause other tribes to look down on us, which would be very bad.”
After Ruan Xiyue finished speaking, Luo Yurou and Chu Jiayun fell into deep thought.
A young female suddenly raised her hand: "I'd like to recommend an orc."
Ruan Xiyue, Luo Yurou, and Chu Jiayun all looked at her. She was a little shy and awkward, her face tense. She mustered up her courage and said, "My brother has been weak since childhood. He is now twenty-six years old and has only just become a mate with a female from the female cave."
"However, he was not good at hunting and always barely made ends meet. But he was very good at reading people and was especially good at pleasing my father and mother. The males around him were also more willing to take care of him."
"I think his speaking skills are pretty good! Can we let him give it a try?"
Ruan Xiyue pursed her lips and raised another difficulty: "There is another reason why I haven't been able to make up my mind to push this forward."
"If orcs who know how to raise sheep beasts were to teach us, should we send a team of yellow-rank guards, or send a large number of red-rank guards to escort many skilled orcs to various tribes?"
"If only one orc escorts them, I fear they might encounter misfortune on the journey. We don't have many skilled technicians either!"
“But if they go with great fanfare, they won’t be able to travel light and quickly. They’ll set off leisurely, only three months earlier than our migration team. By then, they might not have even finished visiting all the tribes, while we’ll be heading to the Beast City.”
"At that time, a large number of guards will still be out there and haven't returned. We'll be leading tens of thousands of orcs to migrate to the beast city, and we won't have enough guards. If something unexpected happens, there are many females and cubs in the group."
If those ruthless, wandering orcs target the females and cubs, scattering the group, the risk is too great!
“You should know that there are always other tribes or wandering orcs watching our tribe. So, this matter has always been on my mind, and the tribe’s chief and elders have not come up with a foolproof solution.”
The female who made the suggestion pursed her lips, gritted her teeth, and said, "Then let's send a team of Yellow-Rank Guards with my brother and an old orc skilled in raising sheep to the nearest tribe to give it a try!"
"If the trip is successful, it should only take a month to make the round trip! In fact, if my brother is willing to endure some hardship, his team of orcs could visit three tribes that raise sheep."
"They came back just as we were about to migrate!"
Before Ruan Xiyue could express her opinion, Luo Yurou nodded: "I think this suggestion is good! However, if this matter is successful, I need to apply for them to receive more subsidies!"
Ruan Xiyue knew that Luo Yurou was thinking that if something happened on the way, and that female really wanted to hate her, the beastman who made the final decision, then she should hate her!
Ruan Xiyue pursed her lips and nodded: "No problem! With this contribution, it's perfectly acceptable to reserve a house for him in the inner city!"
Everyone gasped. The entire Cheetah Lion tribe could only be allocated three thousand houses in the inner city, and they all had to pay for the houses with their work!
The three-person orc family must work for Ruan Xiyue in the Beast City and create value for twenty years in order to offset the amount of beast cores required for that house.
In other words, the female's brother earned a house from this trip.
While other beastmen were working hard for Ruan Xiyue, only receiving beast cores and supplies to sustain their lives, with the rest barely covering the value of their houses, this female beastman could live a good life without any burdens, earning a high salary in beast cores and receiving dividends!
