Traveling through the world of beasts: Controlling the system and building infrastructure

An Ruochu happily showed Zhuoya the mushrooms in the basket.

Who would have thought that Zhuoya would throw the basket far away.

"What are you doing?" An Ruochu was a little angry. She had picked the mushrooms with great difficulty and had also woven a basket herself, but now the mushrooms were scattered all over the ground and the basket was broken.

"An An, listen to me. You can't eat these. They are poisonous! You must believe me that you really can't eat them. You can also throw away that basket. It's all poisonous." Zhuo Ya's tone was urgent. She grabbed An Ruchu's shoulders with some force unconsciously, which hurt her a lot.

Zhuoya had seen an old orc in the tribe leave all the food for the young orcs. He was so hungry that he ate the food and died soon after foaming at the mouth. So, although she was still young at that time, this incident has always been clearly engraved in her mind.

She watched An Ruochu pick the black fruit and thought she had other methods, so she didn't say anything. She even had some expectations, because the black fruit had never killed anyone, it just didn't taste good. But the things in this basket, even a small flower could kill an animal.

"Zhuoya, calm down! Listen to me, this is called mushroom, and it can indeed kill people. But you know the ones that can kill people are the bright and beautiful ones. The ones I collected are ugly, but they are edible. I used to eat them often." An Ruochu broke free from Zhuoya's restraints, picked up one and pointed it at Zhuoya.

"Didn't you lose your memory? Maybe you remembered it wrongly!" Zhuo Ya still didn't believe it and threw the mushroom in her hand away.

"Well, let's take it back first. I'll eat it first. If I'm fine, you can eat it first, okay?" An Ruochu tried to negotiate with Zhuoya. Mushrooms are really delicious. An Ruochu picked up so many with great difficulty and really didn't want to give up, especially when she was in Blue Star. She had a fellow villager from Peacock Province who would rather believe that he didn't cook it well than believe that the mushrooms were poisonous, which was enough to prove the deliciousness of mushrooms.

"No, I don't want you to die." Zhuoya still shook her head.

"Ahhhh." An Ruochu was also a little overwhelmed, and she picked up the non-toxic King Oyster Mushroom and took two bites. Before eating, she repeatedly confirmed with the system that she would not die before taking two bites. After all, she was not sure whether the mushroom would be poisonous if eaten raw. (This behavior is dangerous, please do not imitate.)

"Spit it out quickly!" Zhuo Ya patted An Ruchu's back like crazy, asking her to vomit.

An Ruochu just didn't open her mouth, and swallowed the unpalatable king oyster mushroom with difficulty. She even opened her mouth to show Zhuoya.

"Wuwuwu An'an." Zhuo Ya watched An Ruchu swallow the mushroom and burst into tears, as if An Ruchu was beyond help.

"Don't cry, Zhuoya, I won't die." An Ruochu looked at Zhuoya who was crying sadly and wiped her tears carefully.

"An An, I don't want you to die. I really like you and don't want you to die. Come back to life!" Zhuo Ya hugged An Ruochu and cried with tears and snot.

Zhuoya hugged An Ruchu tighter and tighter, and An Ruchu was almost unable to breathe. She had no choice but to slap Zhuoya's back hard to make her let go.

"Huhu, I really won't die. Look, it's been such a long time and I'm still alive. The mushrooms I picked are really edible." An Ruochu quickly stood up and turned around twice to show that she really wouldn't die. Zhuo Ya wiped her tears and looked at An Ruochu with wet eyes.

"Okay, you see, I'm fine, and I'm not dead. That means the mushrooms I picked are all edible. Don't throw my basket away this time!" By the time Zhuoya calmed down, An Ruochu had repaired the basket and picked up all the mushrooms on the ground, holding them against his chest to protect them, fearing that Zhuoya would throw them away again.

"I got it. Then put the black fruits in my wicker basket." Zhuo Ya was very happy to see that An Ruchu would not die. If mushrooms really would not die, then there would be more food in the tribe.

"Then you have to put the black fruits at the bottom, don't crush the sweet fruits." An Ruochu helped Zhuo Ya pour out the sweet fruits and put three black fruits at the bottom, and then put all the sweet fruits on top.

"Okay, let's go back." An Ruochu pulled Zhuoya back to the tribe.

They had wasted some time on the mountain, and now it was time to prepare dinner. As soon as they entered the tribe, they went straight to the place where the orcs were eating.

The largest number of orcs in the tribe are single males. Most of them are responsible for hunting, patrolling and guarding the tribe. They basically eat with the tribe. They keep a small part of the prey they hunt and hand over most of it to the tribe. Some males who have married will occasionally cook in their own caves. The tribe arranges females to take turns cooking. The whole tribe is well organized. The person in charge of cooking today is the female Xiaoxi.

"Sister Xiaoxi, what are you going to do today?" Zhuoya put down the rattan basket and approached the busy Xiaoxi. After the hunting team brought the prey back at noon, they would go out again. They usually had lunch in the forest, so Xiaoxi was the only one busy with lunch.

"Did Zhuoya go to pick sweet fruits today? We're having barbecue today. Isn't it the same every day? But with An An's cooking method, it tasted a lot better yesterday. The orcs ate a lot yesterday and almost didn't have enough meat." Xiaoxi glanced at Zhuoya's wicker basket and smiled.

"An An said she wanted to make something new and delicious today!" Zhuo Ya pushed An Ruchu to the front.

An Ruochu poured out all the mushrooms in the basket.

"Is this a poisonous mushroom? It can't be eaten!" Xiaoxi and Zhuoya had exactly the same reaction.

"Wait, wait, Sister Xiaoxi, An An has tried it. I saw it with my own eyes. These are all edible." Zhuo Ya and An Ruochu stopped Xiaoxi who was about to crush the mushrooms.

"Is this true?" Xiaoxi looked at An Ruchu in disbelief.

"Really." An Ruochu quickly patted his chest and assured.

"Okay. Then what should we do?" Xiao Xi looked at An Ruchu steadily, and only let go after making sure that there was nothing wrong with her.

“Wash the mushrooms first.”

"I'll do this." Zhuoya volunteered to put all the mushrooms into the basket and walked towards the river.

"Then you have to cut the meat into smaller pieces."

"Let me do this. How big do you want it?" Xiaoxi took the initiative to speak. She was also very curious about what delicious food An Ruchu could make.

"It's probably bigger than the barbecue we ate yesterday." An Ruochu said, picking out some ribs from the processed meat sent by the hunting team, adding some more chunks of meat and then handed them to Xiaoxi.

She herself peeled and cut the fruits into pieces.

After a while, Zhuoya came back with the washed mushrooms.

"An An, you're done washing!" Zhuo Ya shouted from a distance.

"My soil... the black fruits are also cut." An Ruochu saw Xiaoxi still cutting meat, thinking that the ribs were difficult to cut, and took a bone knife to help. Zhuoya didn't have a bone knife, so she went to Granny Sen, recorded the sweet fruits she picked and put them in the Yin Cave. The Yin Cave is the warehouse of the orcs, a dark and deep cave, and the temperature is a little lower than normal.

"Finally, the cutting is done. By the way, do we have a shovel?" Everything was ready, and An Ruochu suddenly thought that the tribe had always eaten barbecue and had never cooked stir-fried or stewed dishes, so they probably didn't have a shovel.

"What is that? It's a long pole connected to a larger wooden board." An Ruochu picked up a wooden stick and drew a few simple strokes on the ground.

"We have to go find Uncle Du En. He has the best craftsmanship and there will be no problem making this. All the bowls in the tribe are made by him." Xiao Xi said.

"Then let's go quickly." Xiaoxi and An Ruochu hurried to Dun's cave.
