MTL - I Have a System of Orcs-~ Chapter 9
Daniel didn't have any dissatisfaction with what Wei Changcheng found. From the male's point of view, a female should not hunt or take care of a male. Daniel has already decided that after two weeks In three days, my injury was fine, so I must go to catch prey for Wei Changcheng myself. Daniel is young and strong, so his injury will naturally heal quickly. The ten days given by the system is enough for Daniel to recover from his injury.
After dinner was quickly settled, Wei Changcheng and Daniel returned to the cave. At this moment, the cave below became lively. The males returned to the tribe with the prey they had caught, and the females, children, and elderly people who were hiding in the cave also went out of the cave one by one. Almost the whole tribe surrounded the river, bustling with each other, following Wei Chang The cave where Cheng is located forms a sharp contrast.
Although Wei Changcheng has been in the Beastman Continent for a few days, and Wei Changcheng has gotten used to the primitiveness here, but for Wei Changcheng who has to run around for food every day, daily rest has become extremely important. Only with enough rest time can we have enough physical strength to go out to find food, and only when we find food can we survive. So not long after returning to the cave, Wei Changcheng fell asleep on the stone bed.
Daniel, who had turned into a beast shape, lay on his side on the ground with his eyes closed, resting his mind. The noise below made Daniel's furry ears move. Daniel opened his eyes and listened quietly to the voice below. After a while, he raised his head and turned his gaze to Wei Changcheng's body. Seeing Wei Changcheng who had fallen asleep on the stone bed, doubts flashed in Daniel's eyes, his big tiger head shook, and he lay on the ground again.
As a female who lost her father and father, she should have attracted much attention in the tribe. Females are rare and precious, and no tribe will be harsh on females. Only when a tribe has females can it continue to exist. Therefore, after daily hunting activities, orc families with females will definitely get better care, and the best and freshest parts of the prey should be reserved for females.
Listening to the voice below, it should be that the hunting team of this tribe has returned, and the food is being distributed below, but why didn't Wei Changcheng go down, and no one even came up to call him? Daniel thought of Wei Changcheng's thin body and pale face, remembered that Wei Changcheng saved himself alone and did not tell anyone, thought of the food that Wei Changcheng had worked so hard to find, and buried deeper and deeper doubts In Daniel's mind, but Daniel is also a little excited, so does it mean that it is not that difficult for him to take Wei Changcheng away?
Early the next morning, Wei Changcheng woke up, looked at Daniel who was still lying on the ground, and tiptoed out of the cave. Just as Wei Changcheng disappeared at the entrance of the cave, Daniel opened his closed eyes.
Wei Changcheng stood at the bottom of the mountain and looked around, ignoring the few people gathered by the river, thinking about where to find food, now it's not just a matter of eating by himself, there is a real sense of The male has to raise it himself!
[Ding! Friendly reminder: The main food of male orcs is meat. For male orcs, eating meat is more conducive to wound healing. ]
╮(╯▽╰)╭It’s really stressful. It’s said that I only ate meat here twice. One was rewarded by the system, and the other was caught by Gener. I never caught prey Is it good or not.
However—Wei Changcheng turned his head to the river that he ignored. When he is unable to catch prey, it seems that fish is also a good choice. Although it is difficult to catch, it is still less dangerous than catching other animals. There are a lot, and the fish is so nutritious and delicious. Wei Changcheng clapped his hands together, all right, it's settled, let's catch fish!
Wei Changcheng walked to the river in high spirits—of course, he walked to the river with no one there. He didn't want those people to laugh at him anymore. It's not that Wei Changcheng didn't know that he should integrate into this tribe, into this The new world, but he really can't do it, yes, he is fed up with people's indifference and ridicule, ignoring ridicule, but enough does not mean that he is willing to accept it all. The orphan is not his fault, and the beast's child is also not Vic's fault, but whether it is a human or an orc, Wei Changcheng can't help complaining about all this on a child, he also believes Vic can't help but hate. Vic is obviously a male, but he can't even fill his own stomach. He can't transform into a beast body, and he can't get everything a male should get.
Wei Changcheng was grateful to Wendell, because it was Wendell who made him not feel like living alone in another world, it was Wendell who kept him from panicking when he first came to this world, and it was Wendell who made himself able to live in this strange world. It is possible to survive in the world, and none of this seems to have been brought to them by the people of the Karui tribe. However, Wei Changcheng is also grateful to the people of the Karu tribe. At least they provided him with a safe place to prevent him from facing the cruel world outside. He is grateful to Gener, who begged Vic to stay Tribe, but gratitude will not make Wei Changcheng forget all the harm they caused Vic.
An orphan, an orphan living in the heavenly dynasty, no matter how kind and benevolent his nature is, he will be crushed by everything in reality. Wei Changcheng does not think he is a cruel, cold-blooded and ruthless person, but he will definitely not be a righteous person who sacrifices himself to save him. Human beings, perhaps the experience of the previous life only left Wei Changcheng with a clear lesson, that is, to protect himself. Therefore, for Wei Changcheng, those in the Karu tribe who do not have good intentions towards him, Wei Changcheng will not contact them, protect himself and take good care of himself, Wei Changcheng thinks it is enough.
If Wendell hadn't asked him to save Daniel, Wei Changcheng would never have saved him. Even Wei Changcheng has been baffled by Wendell's appearance until now, but he trusts Wendell deep in his heart. He believes that Wendell will not harm him, so Wendell said to save Daniel, and Wei Changcheng saved him.
Wei Changcheng walked to the river, broke off a branch from a low tree by the river, pulled off the leaves on it, made one end into a pointed side, and went down the river confidently.
Wei Changcheng stood in the river, looking for a target to attack. I don't know if it's because of the river, but the fish in the river are neither too many nor too big. Maybe it's because the people here also eat fish, so they eat enough fish? Wei Changcheng put aside the messy things in his mind for the time being, and fixed his eyes on a fish.
The fish was completely black, with only two white spots around the eyes. When Wei Changcheng found it, the fish was sinking in the mud at the bottom of the river, not moving much. It only weighs one or two catties, but compared to other fish, it is considered big.
Wei Changcheng held his breath, replaying the details about how to catch fish in his mind—well, what Wei Changcheng meant was the content about refraction that he had learned in junior high school. Hit the fish. Seeing that the fish was still struggling and not dead, Wei Changcheng stuck the branch in his hand firmly into the bottom of the river, and did not pull it out immediately, then lowered his body, trying to catch it.
[Ding! Friendly reminder: The fish caught by the host is called white-eyed fish. White-eyed fish feed on other juvenile fish and are highly poisonous and inedible. ]
"..." Wei Changcheng, "Why didn't you tell me when I was about to catch him?"
[Ding! The system cannot determine the host's fishing target, so it needs to be judged after the host catches the fish. ]
The voice of the system was very innocent. Wei Changcheng expressed his anger and threw the branch in his hand into the river. Wei Changcheng took a breath and made a simple fishing tool again, went down the river again, and said: "Wen Del, which fish in this river are edible?"
[Ding! System search... Search results: whitebait and redtail fish in the river are edible. Silverfish: The whole body is silver, slender, about fifteen centimeters in length and two centimeters in width. Red tail fish: The body is white, the tail is red, wide and flat, about ten centimeters in length and fifteen centimeters in width. ]
Well, these two kinds of fish are still easy to find in the river, because Wei Changcheng only saw these three kinds of fish in the river from the beginning to the end! As for why I didn’t choose whitebait and redtail, of course it’s because compared with the white-eyed fish, these two kinds of fish are really too small! How much do you have to eat to get full! But now there is no other way, Wei Changcheng has no choice but to catch these two kinds of fish.
"Wendell, let's discuss something." Wei Changcheng's tone was very gentle, "Look, how hard it is for me to fish, can you send me a task or something to reward me?"
The system was silent for a moment, and then Wei Changcheng received the task—
[Ding! Mission: fishing. Requirement: Catch five silverfish and five redtail fish in the river. Time limit: one day. Mission success reward: 20 silverfish and 20 redtail fish each. Mission failure penalty: the caught whitebait and redtail fish disappear. ]
Wei Changcheng clenched his fist excitedly, as expected, only rewards can motivate him! In this case, there are fifty fish in total, at least enough for myself and Daniel to eat.
Small fish means hard to catch. Redtail fish is okay, after all, it is wide and flat, with a relatively large surface area, so it is easy to catch, but whitebait is not so simple, this kind of fish is basically without a back! It was already noon when Wei Changcheng was sweating profusely and caught a total of ten fish ashore.
[Ding! The mission "Fishing" was successful. Mission success reward: 20 silverfish and 20 redtail fish each. ]
Then Wei Changcheng saw a total of forty fish lying flat on the river bank. Wei Changcheng was just relieved, but worried again. The fish must be cooked. When will it be cooked? Wei Changcheng, who had been moaning for a long time, suddenly stood up, collected the fish on the bank, went back to the cave, brought Daniel to the river, and pointed at the fish hidden by him: "Daniel, the task of grilling the fish will be entrusted to is you!"
Daniel looked at the small pile of dead fish in silence, then looked up at Wei Changcheng's cheeks soaked in sweat (river water?), and said in a deep voice, "Okay, I'll bake it."
Seeing Daniel who became extremely serious, Wei Changcheng scratched his head inexplicably, and then went to the river to wash his face.
