Chapter 315 Not Proportional
Luo Yurou pursed her lips and summarized what she wanted to say based on her knowledge and experience: "You see, thanks to you, we now have a better direction for our work."
“The beast cores we can get by knitting sweaters and other items every day are enough to buy vegetables, fruits and grains for a month.”
"Other females in the tribe, or older orcs, can also gather some fruits, vegetables and grains and sell them to us."
"Materially speaking, we are already quite well-off. What's left is to take care of the young, which increases everyone's chances of reproduction. Now almost every female has her own young."
"After we have a comfortable life, we will definitely spend more time and effort on accompanying and educating our young children."
Ruan Xiyue frowned slightly as she thought of the historical development of her previous life, the emergence of private schools and schools, and the changes in the main productive forces at that time.
Most females on the Beast God Continent consider it their duty and honor to give birth to cubs and to accompany and raise them.
If Ruan Xiyue were to separate them from the cubs, even if she could provide them with excellent resources, they would not be able to accept the pain of such separation.
This is the core of the contradiction she feels is that she is doing it for their own good, but they cannot accept it.
Luo Yurou looked at Ruan Xiyue seriously and said, "Moreover, what you want is to cultivate some forces with good aptitude that can become your cubs' helpers."
"But the families who are truly willing to harden their hearts and be tempted by your resources to send their cubs here are definitely not well-off. This goes against your original intention!"
"What I mean is that you paid a high price, but all you got was support from forces that were not very qualified and whose families did not have a high status in the tribe."
"That's why I said I don't have a good feeling about what you want to do; the investment far outweighs the cost! You taught me that, have you forgotten?"
Ruan Xiyue looked at Luo Yurou with intense gaze.
This is a female she trained herself. Back in Bright Moon Beast City, Luo Yurou was just a little female who would panic and ask her what to do whenever she encountered a problem!
Now, she can help Ruan Xiyue analyze the core contradictions and tell her that the cost of investment is higher than the cost of return.
Ruan Xiyue shook her head: "But I'm definitely going to do this."
Luo Yurou pursed her lips. She could see the determination in Ruan Xiyue's eyes, and knew that she couldn't persuade Ruan Xiyue.
But Chu Jiayun said, "Why don't you study at the Witch Doctor's Hospital and the Priest's Hospital?"
Ruan Xiyue and Luo Yurou both looked at Chu Jiayun. Ruan Xiyue's eyes showed a willingness to hear more, while Luo Yurou nodded thoughtfully.
Chu Jiayun then said, "Every three or five years, the Witch Doctor's Hospital and the Priest's Court will send invitations to various tribes. The chiefs or witch doctors of each tribe will recommend their tribe's children who have a high affinity for herbs or are very intelligent."
"The priesthood, on the other hand, selects orcs who have dreamed of miracles or who have a natural affinity for runes."
“Each beast city holds a selection process, and the cubs with good results will be chosen to study at the Witch Hospital or the Priest's Academy.”
"These cubs are all between seven and fifteen years old. Cubs of this age are less likely to get sick and die young, so their families are proud of this and are willing to have their cubs chosen."
"Xi Yue, the conditions you offered for choosing cubs are very tempting."
But from my perspective, my concern is that if the cubs don't eat well or get sick... I might not choose to send my best cubs to your cub daycare because of that.
Ruan Xiyue rested her chin on her hand: "What if the special minced meat porridge I give the cubs every week is to boost their immunity? In other words, the cubs sent to me won't get sick at all?"
[Dodo, do you have a full range of pediatric and veterinary medications for cubs?]
Duoduo hurriedly replied like a top-tier salesperson who had just landed a huge order: [Host, rest assured! The system shop has a complete range of medicines for all orc races! We have various medicines for the basic illnesses of horse, dog, cheetah, and lion cubs. Our system shop not only has a wide variety, but the points are also very low!]
Chu Jiayun stared in astonishment, her mouth agape, while Luo Yurou gasped involuntarily.
After her initial surprise, Luo Yurou quickly turned a cold look to the females present and said to one of them, who looked particularly shrewd and capable, "You stay outside and watch over the cubs. We need to go inside and talk."
The capable female, whose demeanor resembled Wang Xifeng, a classic character from TV dramas Ruan Xiyue had watched, nodded gracefully and waved her hand, saying, "Don't worry! Leave it to me!"
Luo Yurou quickly pulled Ruan Xiyue into the stone house, and Chu Jiayun and the others followed.
They also made sure to look around cautiously to make sure there were no suspicious orcs nearby before closing the wooden door.
Luo Yurou frowned, gripping Ruan Xiyue's hand tightly: "To keep up with your way of thinking, I often study and discuss things with my dad. But your abilities are truly terrifying!"
Chu Jiayun and the others sat in the house, keeping their mouths shut, but their expressions were no longer as casual and relaxed as before.
Ruan Xiyue had a faint smile on her lips. She gently patted Luo Yurou's hand and said, "Otherwise, why do you think I'm in such a hurry to build up my cubs' power? Why do you think I'm in such a hurry to strengthen the Cheetah Lion Tribe?"
Ruan Xiyue looked directly at Luo Yurou with sincerity: "You should know that your enemies will always know your value better than you do."
Ruan Xiyue sat down casually and pulled Luo Yurou down to sit as well.
Unlike Luo Yurou and the others, she didn't look solemn at all. Instead, she was quite calm and composed: "I don't know how much your father told you about last year's beast tide season."
"However, I can tell you the whole story directly."
"Last winter, the Red Fox tribe sent about five thousand wandering orcs to attack our Cheetah Lion tribe."
The female next to Chu Jiayun almost slipped off the stool in fright.
Of the six females present, only Ruan Xiyue remained calm; even Luo Yurou's face turned deathly pale.
Luo Yurou murmured, "How could this be? Wasn't it only two thousand?"
Ruan Xiyue chuckled, squeezed Luo Yurou's hand which was already ice-cold with fright, and said, "That's only about two thousand wandering orcs that appeared near our tribe."
"The rest were killed by Long Ze and the other newly incorporated slaves and beastmen on their way here."
"Even those wandering orcs, seeking revenge, have gone to the front lines where we are resisting the beast tide. They're trying to launch a pincer attack, severely weakening our tribe's power!"
"As a result, we discovered their trail along the way, and after the shift change, half of us ran back, then went back to fight them! That's how we prevented them from succeeding!"
