Chapter 469 Development and Expansion
The arrival of spring means that the tribespeople living in the caves will soon have to move outside. This year, many more tribespeople have joined the valley, and many houses need to be rebuilt.
Mao and his hyena clan still followed their nature, preferring to live underground. So, after discussing it with them, Ruan Mianmian allocated a piece of land for them to solve their own accommodation problems.
Jiang, the leader of the beaver tribe, led his people to live near a lake in the valley. They loved water and were skilled at fishing, so the lake was their best habitat.
Meanwhile, the orcs in the tribe automatically took over the patrol duties of the watchtower. After all, they liked to stay in the trees, and the watchtower was so high that it was perfect for them.
With the help of the earth, the lion and jackal tribes of beastmen gradually built stone houses to live in, and the valley was now fully occupied.
After spring comes summer, and with it the rainy season. This year's rainy season wasn't as severe as last year's; the first few days were just light drizzle, and only a few heavy rains fell towards the end of the month.
The fruit trees and herbs in the valley are thriving thanks to the nourishment, and everyone can tell at a glance that this year will definitely be a bumper harvest.
However, a sudden storm shattered this joy. The wind howled, the rain poured down, many stone houses had their roofs blown off, and parts of the underground caves collapsed.
Ruan Mianmian was extremely anxious and quickly organized everyone to carry out disaster relief work.
Mao, the leader of the hyena tribe, led his people to rescue their trapped companions from the collapsed cave, while the orcs of the lion and jackal tribes were busy reinforcing the stone houses.
Jiang, the leader of the beaver tribe, led his people to reinforce the area around the lake with branches and mud to prevent it from overflowing. The gorilla-like beastmen observed the valley from the watchtower, relaying danger signals as needed.
After the rain stopped, the valley was a mess, but everyone was not discouraged.
Ruan Mianmian encouraged everyone to rebuild their homes, and everyone responded enthusiastically. With everyone's concerted efforts, the stone house was repaired, the cave was reinforced, and the valley gradually regained its vitality.
After this disaster, the people of the tribe have become even closer. They firmly believe that the future will be better and that their vision of a bountiful harvest will surely be realized.
Two years passed slowly, and the eastern tribe in the valley became the leading tribe in the plains. Some smaller tribes joined in, and the tribe's strength gradually increased.
Every year, Ruan Mianmian would go to the snow mountain to exchange for snow lotus and rare medicinal herbs from the snow beast tribe.
Back then, after Ruan Mianmian brought back a lot of snow lotuses, she upgraded the system. The upgraded system introduced a new function that delighted Ruan Mianmian.
The newly added feature is that you can exchange items from this other world for cash. In short, the money in the system shop after her plane crash was her previous savings; once it's used up, it's gone.
But since the system upgrade, she no longer needs to worry about that, because a new item for selling otherworldly items has been added, and the proceeds from the sales will automatically be transferred to her system shop.
In this way, she won't have to be stingy when buying anything. As long as she's alive and can still exchange money, the money will be endless.
That's why, every year in the last month of winter, she tirelessly leads her people to the snow-capped mountains, because it's a very profitable business!
When Xiao Jin and Xiao Hong were five years old, the two cubs advanced directly to level four for the first time, which greatly surprised all the beastmen.
The orcs' progression through levels is a fixed rule, but Little Gold and Little Red broke it.
However, Zhi stood up and said that this was normal, because Xiao Jin and Xiao Hong, as legendary beastmen, had a different bloodline than ordinary beastmen. Moreover, Ruan Mianmian had consumed countless rare and precious herbs while pregnant with them, so their rapid growth was to be expected.
After undergoing numerous trials, Ruan Mianmian transformed Yong and Yu into ancestral beastmen, significantly increasing the strength of the Eastern Tribe and making them an unshakeable force in the plains.
