Free Web NovelChapter 541: Chapter 399: The Source of the Red Bumps and the Gray Fruit
In just one day, the artisans in the tribe saw another business opportunity.
Within a few days, all sorts of woven-grass tube tops and similar items made their debut.
The males were accustomed to going bare-chested, so these tube tops were quite popular with the females.
Although many females were still accustomed to going topless...
But whenever Wu Yue walked through the tribe and saw these females with their upper bodies bare, she would give them a heartfelt lecture. With one person telling ten, and ten telling a hundred, word spread, and eventually, there were no longer any topless females in the Snow Tiger Tribe.
"Ding~ New mission issued:
Successfully create a piece of fabric.
Mission Reward: Simple Loom x1
System Points x100
Go for it, Host! You got this!"
Looking at the nearly-finished woven-grass tube top in her hands, Wu Yue felt utterly miserable.
"Damn it, System, don’t you think you’re overestimating me? Do I look like the kind of person who can make fabric?"
The Blue Fatty glanced at her furtively. "To be honest, I don’t have much faith in you. After all, Host, you have the look of someone who... isn’t very smart."
Wu Yue: "..."
’I was just trying to be a little humble, you know. But did you have to be so blunt about it? Have you ever considered my feelings?’
’Freaking heck, don’t I have any pride?’
The System raised a paw and scratched its chin. "Pride? Host, do you even have any?"
Wu Yue was sitting in the courtyard with a crumpled, unhappy expression. Yuan Lang came in and saw the little female’s dejected state. He placed the basket of fruit he was carrying on the ground beside the stone table and sat down.
"Why the long face? What happened?"
Wu Yue glanced at him listlessly, a sudden wave of self-pity washing over her. ’System, how come other people get to transmigrate without any missions, but I have to do this and that?’
’Do you think that’s fair to me?’
The System snorted. ’You can use points to redeem anything you want in the System Mall, or get things by completing missions. Does Yuan Lang have such a great opportunity?’
Wu Yue was taken aback. ’I was just complaining a little, that’s all.’
With that, she stopped paying attention to the nagging System and looked up at Yuan Lang pitifully. "The Beast God has given me a new mission. He wants me to make fabric."
Yuan Lang’s expression changed. "Fabric?"
He suddenly thought of what had been happening in the tribe over the past few days. "Is it because all the tribespeople have been breaking out in red bumps?"
Wu Yue nodded. "That’s probably it. Beast Skins are too hot to wear, and the tribespeople don’t have a habit of bathing every day. Wearing dirty Beast Skins makes it easy for them to get sick."
"Then do you know how to make fabric? Is there anything you need me to do?"
Yuan Lang frowned, looking at the little female beside him.
Wu Yue’s face crumpled. "Do I look like someone who knows how to make fabric?"
She sat up, feeling a bit deflated. "I only know that you’re supposed to soak some kind of plant in water for a while, then extract threads from it, and then use those threads to weave fabric.
"Forget about the weaving for now—I don’t even know which plant to use! There are so many plants in the forest, it’s just too difficult."
"Didn’t the Beast God give you any hints?"
Wu Yue’s face crumpled. "If there were any hints... huh?"
She suddenly remembered—she had received a book from a previous mission! She could check inside to see if there were any plants that could be used for weaving.
At this thought, her eyes instantly lit up as she looked at Yuan Lang. "Yuan Lang, you’re my lucky star! I completely forgot! The Beast God seems to have taught me how to identify some plants. I’ll go back and think it over carefully."
Yuan Lang chuckled. "Just let me know if you need me to do anything."
In high spirits, Wu Yue scooted closer to the beastman. "Hehe, you’d better watch out. I won’t be holding back with you."
The beastman’s gaze deepened. "Mm. There’s no need for courtesies between us."
He bent down, took a fruit from the basket on the ground, and handed it to Wu Yue. "We found this fruit in the forest while we were hunting. It’s very sweet and delicious, so I brought a few back. Have a taste."
Wu Yue looked at the gray fruit before her. "What kind of fruit is this?"
"Gray Fruit."
As he spoke, Yuan Lang applied some pressure with his fingers and broke the basketball-sized fruit in half.
The inside of the gray rind was white flesh. The moment it was broken open, a sweet fragrance wafted out, smelling wonderful.
Wu Yue’s eyes lit up, and she quickly reached out to take it. Yuan Lang handed her a wooden spoon. "Eat it with this. The Gray Fruit is very juicy."
The fruit’s flesh was soft and pulp-like, with a light, refreshing sweetness. It was absolutely delicious.
Wu Yue ate the entire Gray Fruit in one go, patting her belly and letting out a satisfied burp. "I never would have guessed there was such a delicious fruit in the forest."
