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

"An An, why are you back? Didn't you go to the mountain to collect things? Granny Sen just came back, and I was just about to look for you." Zhuo Ya was a little confused looking at the aggressive An Ruochu.

What's going on? Why are you still holding a bunch of things?

"I'm not going for now. I need to find Granny Sen to discuss something." An Ruochu carried her belongings and left without looking back.

"Hey, wait for me then!"

Zhuo Ya looked at An Ruchu, who usually had to slow down to keep up with her, but now he was running so fast that he quickly quickened his pace to catch up with him.

"Grandma, I have something to discuss with you." An Ruchu said before entering Grandma Sen's cave, but when she walked in, she found that Grandma Sen was not there.

"Huh? Didn't you say Grandma Sen is back? Why isn't she here?" An Ruochu looked at Zhuoya with confusion.

"You are walking too fast. I wanted to tell you on the way that Granny Sen is in the cave, sorting out the food that the collection team brought back today." Zhuo Ya took a breath and said quickly.

After hearing this, An Ruochu turned around and walked towards the cave.

"No, slow down. Put the thing here first. Won't it be heavy for you to hold?" Looking at An Ruchu in a hurry, Zhuoya's intuition told her that something was wrong. An Ruchu was not like this usually. This was too weird.

"Yes!" An Ruochu put his things aside and followed Zhuoya.

"Mother-in-law."

At this moment, Granny Sen was sorting out the newly found weeds in the cave, preparing to give them to An Ruochu to see if they were edible. At this moment, she looked at An Ruochu with a bit of surprise.

"An An, you're here just in time. Come and see if these are edible. I sent two collection teams to collect in the afternoon. Not only did they collect all the edible things you mentioned before, they also found some that looked edible on other hills and brought them back." Grandma Sen bent down and handed the rattan basket she had just sorted out to An Ruochu.

An Ruochu and Zhuo Ya hurried forward to help.

"Let me see." An Ruochu calmed down when she heard that it was food. She identified the things that Grandma Sen had sorted out one by one.

It was called identification, but it was just using her hand to let the system identify it. The plant encyclopedia that was supposed to enter her mind had a bug, and after it was finally fixed, she could only rely on the system to help her identify some of the plants she found. The only compensation was that the system could remind her of the location of some plants. Thinking that this was not a loss, An Ruochu could only accept the system's remedial measures.

[Ding, if you find a coconut, you get 5 points. If you find a cabbage, you get 5 points. If you find cotton, you get 10 points.]

The system kept sending reports. Although most of the females brought back weeds, An Ruchu also had some gains, especially the discovery of cotton.

Cotton can be used to make clothes and quilts, which is very useful, but she can't make anything now, and she doesn't even know cotton without the system's prompt. However, the system also clearly told her that she can unlock the corresponding function after completing the second-level task of "Food is the Heaven for the People".

"Mother-in-law, what the females brought back is called cabbage. It is edible. After being pickled, it will not spoil easily even in the cold season." An Ruochu pointed at the cabbage and Mother-in-law Sen and explained.

"This is a coconut. You can drink the juice inside. Although it cannot be a staple food, it has some other uses. The white one is cotton. With it, you can make warm quilts and clothes like the ones I'm wearing. With a quilt, you won't be afraid of the cold in the cold season." An Ruochu took out the coconuts and cotton and showed them to Grandma Sen.

Grandma Sen was quite happy at first when she heard An Ruchu's words, but when she heard that cotton could keep warm in the cold season, her eyes were suddenly filled with tears.

The cold season is really hard for orcs. The males can at least transform back into beasts to withstand the cold wind, but the cubs and females can't stand the cold. Even though the orcs have given them all their animal skins, there are still females and cubs who can't stand it.

"Then how do we make this quilt?" Granny Sen eagerly grabbed An Ruochu's hand, her words a little excited. Although she had never seen the clothes An Ruochu was wearing, it did look better than animal skins. Wrapping the whole body, it should be warm.

Most of the orcs covered their key parts with animal skins. An Ruchu was the first in the tribe who didn't show any skin at all.

"Making quilts requires a lot of tools, and these tools cannot be made at the moment, so quilts cannot be made for the time being. But you can collect more cotton for backup. When the tools are made, a large amount of cotton will be needed to make quilts." Although An Ruochu didn't have the heart to hit Grandma Sen, she could only tell the truth.

"Okay, starting tomorrow I will let the collection team focus on collecting cotton." Grandma Sen thought about it and made up her mind.

With An Ruochu cooking in various ways these days, the orcs saved one-third of the prey they hunted, and the remaining meat was made into jerky with white berries. At present, food in the tribe is not in short supply.

"Mother-in-law, I have other things to tell you today. Let's go out first. It's too cold in the cave." An Ruochu hugged her shoulders and stayed in the cave for a while. She couldn't stand the cold anymore, so she wrapped her clothes tightly and exhaled a breath of cold air.

"Hurry up, hurry up." Granny Sen then noticed that An Ruochu's face was a little pale. She quickly wrapped the animal skin she was wearing around An Ruochu.

An Ruochu instinctively wanted to refuse, but Granny Sen refused to let her take it off, so she had to wrap herself tightly. Looking at Granny Sen, it was as if she saw the dean who raised her.

She has been afraid of cold since she was a child. In her memory, the director always held her in his arms and wrapped her in thick clothes to keep her warm in the winter. Even though she was wrapped thicker than other children, she still felt cold. When she grew up and had her menstrual period, she felt even more painful.

Zhuo Ya looked at her exposed skin and scratched her head. An An seemed to be more fragile than the average female. She looked a lot like Hui Hui who was born prematurely. Hui Hui also got sick easily. Fortunately, with the blessing of the beast god, Hui Hui did not die and grew up smoothly.

While walking on the road, An Ruochu sneezed several times in succession, and quickly asked Zhuoya to get some ginger from the cave and prepare to boil some ginger water to drive away the cold.

She didn't want to get sick in this world of beasts with backward medical care. After all, she didn't have the strong recovery ability of the beastmen.

Speaking of recovery ability, the figure of a certain person suddenly popped up in An Ruochu's mind.

An Ruochu snorted and shook the person out of his mind.

When they arrived at Granny Sen's cave, Granny Sen pressed An Ruochu onto the animal skin bed as soon as she entered the cave, and even wrapped her in several animal skins to keep her warm. After a while, Zhuoya handed An Ruochu the boiled ginger water, and she pinched her nose and drank it all, and the feeling of coldness subsided a little.

After staying in the cave for a while, she couldn't stand it anymore. When the cold season comes, she will be the first to sacrifice. After thinking about it, An Ruochu sorted out her thoughts in her mind. Originally, she just wanted to get a house for herself, but now it seems that she has to think about how to get through the cold season smoothly.
