Chapter 307 For the Tribe (8)
Qingfeng had asked him similar questions, but Jingli hadn't given a clear answer then.
Because Qingfeng is not currently a core member.
This is by no means because Jingli is a sycophant; rather, it's because Qingfeng is not a core member, so he can treat him as he pleases.
Qingfeng is only a sub-adult who has only participated in one outing. Even if the discussion is based on whether to stay in the tribe, he cannot obtain more information than the current situation of the tribe.
Similarly, no advantage can be gained on this topic.
Under normal circumstances, Jingli wouldn't care about these conveniences; he could take things as they come.
But this is an extraordinary situation. Since we have already determined that we need a voice, it is necessary to be mindful and actively strive for it.
He had already learned these things in Yu An's world.
He needed to use the pretext of [discussing whether he should stay in the tribe] to obtain more information about the invaders from Zhi and, in the process, increase the weight of his own words.
He has a lot of leverage, which is directly related to his strength, but he absolutely cannot reveal it all at once.
Because his abilities are too similar to those of the invaders.
He gained the tribe's trust through Yuanmaomao, but this trust was not secure.
He needs more opportunities.
The recent opportunity to talk with Zhi is the one I'm most interested in.
·
Orcs are generally straightforward in their communication style. After delivering the items, the orcs didn't exchange many pleasantries and left immediately.
Jingli didn't rush to find Zhi. He first sorted out the things the other party had sent and put them away in the cave.
The tribe provides the cubs with a full range of supplies, including fresh meat and fruit, fur and hay suitable for nesting, small fur clothes to keep the cubs warm, a large stone pot, and rough but sturdy tools that resemble both an axe and a hoe.
In addition, there is a single, enormous pelt.
Just by looking at the stiff fur, you can tell it's a long-tailed beast that was captured by the scenery. It has been trimmed a bit and is perfect for hanging at the entrance of the cave as a curtain.
The food must have been brought back by the hunting teams every day and distributed to the tribe. Jingli didn't know how much meat the long-tailed beast had to eat, but judging from the amount of meat, a large portion of it should be here.
[6058: Wow, this looks like they're really putting in the effort!]
If someone hasn't looked at the information beforehand, they might feel that this is unfair.
Why should I only get a little bit of the prey I hunted myself?
However, in this world, lone orcs or tribes that seek refuge with other tribes need to hand over certain items in exchange for the tribe's protection.
Even if the Cangbei tribe only gave the Jingli tribe a fixed share, let alone the whole pelt and so much meat, it would still be considered kind.
Moreover, even without Jingli, Meng's team could have easily subdued the long-tailed beast. Jingli only knocked the beast unconscious; the subsequent transportation and processing were all done by the tribe. Yet, the other party was still willing to give him the lion's share of the beast. From the perspective of this world, this was truly a sign of great sincerity.
At the same time, this action also suggests that the other party needs something from Jingli.
It's definitely not just because of the reward for saving the cubs and taking care of them in the future.
Jingli was secretly pondering.
He was used to presenting his thought process to 6058 within the system, and 6058 didn't say much, just listened.
Jingli's progress is rapid; he is now fully capable of handling things independently.
The scene of Jingli and Chunqi leaving together, though so ordinary, was deeply etched in 6058's mind, making his nose tingle.
6058 did not tell Jingli that after coming to this world, in addition to the limitations of the system, his abilities were also somewhat restricted.
He was really worried that one day he would be isolated from the world, leaving Jingli all alone.
But seeing this scene, his heart gradually calmed down.
Children will grow up.
His idiot has grown up very, very well.
Jingli organized the food separately, storing some in the system and some in Qiankunli.
The space inside is limited, but time stands still, so food placed inside won't spoil.
Moreover, whether it was given by Meng Li or Fen Chun, it was of the highest level and could store a lot of things.
In addition, Lu Mingguang also gave him a few spares, so Jingli didn't feel burdened by using them.
The reason for placing it in the system is that it is more convenient to store and retrieve, and since the system has no physical form, there is no concern about it being discovered.
The reason for storing data on both sides was suggested by 6058.
Although the possibility of the system space being affected as a memory is extremely small, the 6058 is still accustomed to preparing for the worst.
What if?
He couldn't even be sure if he would lose contact with Jingli in some world. The observer system was bound to him, and if that day ever came, he would make thorough preparations for Jingli.
Jingli realized what 6058 was thinking from this action.
But he didn't ask any further questions.
He knew that as long as 6058 was there, it would always be his solid support.
If 6058 isn't available...
He will be sad, but he will definitely be able to protect himself and do his best in everything he can.
Jingli built a simple little nest at the deepest part of the cave, with dry leaves and grass at the bottom, fluffy down in the middle, and soft fur on top.
The orcs brought plenty of materials, and the nest they built was almost the size of a two-meter-long bed. There was still a lot left over, and Jingli planned to use it in the villa that would grow in a while.
He thoughtfully took a pure cotton sheet and placed it on top of the bed, then moved the sleeping kitten over there.
Afterward, he temporarily fixed the animal hides that the orcs had cut to the entrance of the cave, covering the half with the nest, and letting the light in through the other half.
While doing this, he couldn't help but think of all those wilderness survival tutorials for the 6058-inch screen, and all he could think about was building a door with a window for this cave.
There were several forks in the road deep inside the cave. Jingli chose one as a storage room and put some fruit and vegetables inside for easy access.
He didn't seem to be doing much, but because there was so much stuff and the cave was so big, it took him almost two hours just to clean it up.
After he lightly swept away the dust with a wind-element talisman, a sweet "meow" rang out, and Yuan Xiaomao was peeking out with her round-eared cat head, looking at Jingli.
Jingli's heart softened instantly. She quickly went over and hugged Yuan Maomao, and together they walked towards the cave entrance.
On the once empty land, a villa stands there, and judging from Jingli's height, it looks quite grand.
The kitten let out a "meow" of praise.
Jingli said, "Shall we go in and take a look?"
Yuan Xiaomao looked at Jingli with eyes as clear as lakes, and Jingli seemed to understand, meaning "Okay, okay".
To 6058's surprise, Lu Mingguang wasn't fooled this time. Just as the maker had boasted, the interior decoration of the house was more complete than he had imagined.
There is an entryway, and further in is the living room, with wooden tables and chairs, and even a screen.
The screen is rather rough, heavy, and lacks any particular design.
But considering it was only the size of a walnut before, it's amazing enough.
There are four bedrooms on the left and right sides of the living room, some of which already have beds and wardrobes. Further back is the kitchen, which even has a chimney, but the size is a bit unsuitable and needs to be adjusted.
The second floor also has four rooms, which the creators seem to have set up as bedrooms, with the same decor as the downstairs.
[6058: The world of cultivation is truly sophisticated.]
Jingli nodded.
Before going to the world of cultivation, the only portable accommodation he could think of was a tent, and a motorhome could barely be considered as well.
But in the cultivation world, it's either these special seeds or Meng Li's unique spirit stone carriage.
No wonder the cultivation world's world level is much higher than that of the technologically advanced Sentinel and Guide world.
Unfortunately, these seeds cannot be reused; once used, the house took root here.
Fortunately, Jingli will live permanently in this world.
He chose a room downstairs, put the kitten down to let it get used to the environment, and then busied himself tidying up.
Still using grass, down, and fur as mattresses, this room was used to accommodate the orc companions.
Choose another room, make up the bedding you bought and stored in the space beforehand, and then pack it all together neatly and put it into the space.
This way, you can just take it out when you really need to rest, and put it away when someone comes to visit, so no one will notice anything strange.
As for the speed of house repairs.
Qingfeng had mentioned before that because of their great strength, the beastmen could build houses very quickly, but the houses were rather crudely built.
The orcs' dwellings were quite far apart, and the location where he dropped the special seeds was cleverly chosen so that they wouldn't be easily seen.
No one comes here often, and by the time people start coming, the house should be finished.
If any orcs ask about the house's unusual structure...
As sea creatures that roam freely, it's understandable that they've seen many interesting buildings.
By the time all this was done, the sun was already beginning to set.
Jingli tucked the kitten into his arms, and 6058 landed on his shoulder.
The three of them went to find Zhi to freeload a meal.
