Being the Chieftain of a Moe Tribe - Chapter 24

Chapter 24: The Cow-Eared Female Faints, Heading Towards the Salt Lake

The creation of the prototype was just the beginning. After that, he had to shape the base, trim the base, dry it in the sun, carve designs, glaze the product, and so on. There were a total of 72 procedures. After the process of calcination, the finished ceramic product was made.

For the next few days, Fu Rui guided Li on how to make porcelain products. He also succeeded in making the first batch of porcelain.

Apart from bowls, there were also many utensils like spoons, plates, soup pots, ladles, and so on.

When the females in the tribe drank their first mouthful of fish soup, Fu Rui looked at their satisfied expressions and knew that his efforts had not been in vain.

“Ding, successfully increased the civilization level of the village. You have imparted knowledge on porcelain making methods and unlocked multiple recipes. You have obtained 20 Civilization Points!”

He had obtained 20 Civilization Points!

This was the most Civilization Points he had been awarded with since he had obtained the system.

Fu Rui couldn’t help but flash a gratified smile. However, he wasn’t in a hurry to use the points.

He realized that the Civilization Points were the best thing from the system. As long as he had enough Civilization Points, he could exchange for anything, including modern military supplies such as aircraft, tanks, machine guns, and so on!

However, in order to exchange for these items, he needed a large number of Civilization Points.

Even the cheapest item cost several thousand Civilization Points.

Moreover, even if he exchanged for these items, they wouldn’t be of much use for the time being.

Even the most practical rifle could only solve the problems of hunting safety and the invasion of the porcupine tribe. However, Fu Rui could solve both problems with other solutions, so there was no need to choose this option.

Fu Rui would not allow his gains to be far less than his spending.

If he had the Civilization Points to exchange for such items, he might as well obtain a few more advanced bottles of the Constitution-Enhancing Potion as that was more practical.

“Village Chief, shall we continue expanding the farming area in the afternoon?”

At that moment, the cow-eared female walked over and asked Fu Rui with a plow in her hand.

This tool was obtained by Fu Rui after signing in over the past two days. Other than the plow, there were also sickles used for removing weeds and a water dispenser for irrigation.

Now, the farming of the tribe had been completely handed over to the cow-eared female.

She was in charge of farming, while her subordinates were in charge of weeding and clearing the land. Meanwhile, the horse-eared female was in charge of irrigation.

The few of them formed a group and worked hard for the rich recipes that the tribe could use in the future. They plowed a large amount of barren land and planted all kinds of seeds there.

Fu Rui estimated that he would harvest the first batch of ingredients in a few months. At that time, the beast-eared tribe would be able to complete the transformation from a carnivorous diet into an omnivorous diet. As a result, they would evolve to possess a stronger digestive system.

“Let’s continue after a short rest. Thank you for your hard work, everyone.” Fu Rui nodded. There would never be too much food.

“For the village chief and for the tribe, it’s not hard work!”

With a simple and honest smile, the cow-eared female turned around and returned to the tree where the other beast-eared females had gathered to rest in the shade.

When the sun was setting and the temperature had dropped a little, everyone started to get busy.

This was also what Fu Rui had told them to do so as to reduce the possibility of heatstroke.

However, in the afternoon, an accident still happened.

The horse-eared female and the goat-eared female had collapsed in the fields one after another. The cow-eared female hurriedly ran back to the village, but halfway through her words, she also fainted.

Yuan and Li anxiously carried her to the shade under a tree. They untied Xia’s leather clothes, revealing her ample bosom.

Since the matter was urgent, Fu Rui was not in the mood to appreciate her body. Instead, he quickly went forward and placed his hand on her forehead.

“Is this the heatstroke that Rui mentioned before?” Yuan asked softly.

“I don’t think so.”

Fu Rui shook his head and turned to look at the fox-eared female. “Li, bring the others back. I want to examine them properly.”

“Got it.”

Li turned around and left, not daring to waste any time.

Meanwhile, Fu Rui frowned and began to inspect the various parts of the cow-eared female’s body.

There were no wounds.

Her body temperature was normal.

However, her skin felt dry.

The skin on her lips was peeling as well.

“Did Xia and the rest bring water with them when they were farming?”

“Yes.” One of the beast-eared girls replied to him. “They bring a big bag of water every day.”

That was strange.

Fu Rui’s eyebrows furrowed even tighter. If he excluded the possibility of dehydration, what else could cause the skin on her lips to become dry?

Fu Rui thought about it for a while. Then, he suddenly realized that it was very likely due to over-exhaustion, resulting in the loss of a large amount of salt.

In the past, the tribe basically relied on hunting for a living. They only relied on the salt contained in the blood of beasts to replenish their iron levels.

This was not a long-term plan. After all, the staple food of the tribe was fish. After eating fish and wild berries for a period of time, they did not have much salt to begin with.

As the amount of physical labor increased, the side effects were also reflected.

Salt was a very important resource. In a situation where food was no longer scarce, this problem had to be solved immediately.

“It looks like I have to find a way to get salt.”

Fu Rui suddenly recalled that the last time he passed through the forest, he had encountered a lake that was the size of a pond.

According to the characteristics of inland lakes, there was a high chance that it was either a salt water lake or a salt lake.

If that was the case, he could go there to dry and produce salt.

However, Fu Rui hadn’t paid much attention to the lake back then. Thus, he could not be sure exactly whether it was a salt lake, so he had to investigate it on the spot.

Hence, he called Yuan and the dog-eared girls over. He planned to leave the village to take a look.

At this moment, Li had already brought the goat-eared girl and the rest back. When she heard that Fu Rui was leaving the village, she immediately stopped him.

“Wait.”

Fu Rui watched her return to her house and take out a bone spear.

“When did you make it for me? I actually didn’t notice it.” Fu Rui smiled.

“The porcupine tribe has become even more active these few days. If you go so far, you might encounter their scouts.”

Li’s eyes were gentle as she personally tied the spear to Fu Rui’s back. “Be careful. You must return safely.”

“Don’t worry.”

Fu Rui touched her soft ears and smiled. “I must return safely in order to sleep in your room again in a few days.”

Li blushed and punched his chest playfully.

How annoying!

Didn’t he know that her ears were very sensitive?

“I’m going off.”

Fu Rui conveniently patted her butt and waved goodbye.
