Bringing a System to the Beast World

Chapter 42 Cheap Labor

The pale yellow powder was wrapped in clean, large leaves, emitting a light herbal scent, and inside was a small, smooth wooden board.

Shi Lin used a small wooden board to pick up the medicinal powder and sprinkled it evenly on the still-bleeding wound. The powder was washed away by the flowing blood, and the beasts all became solemn.

Although Shi Lin's expression tightened, he persisted in picking up the powder and sprinkling it on the wound again and again. Gradually, the pale yellow powder took hold around the wound, and finally, no more new blood flowed out.

The beasts cried out in surprise and cheered as they embraced each other.

Some of the medicinal powder was left for Uncle Da Shi, and the other more seriously injured beastmen also enjoyed the high-class treatment of having medicine applied.

Their expressions as they looked at the stone forest and the medicinal powder were filled with gratitude; it was truly a life-saving herb.

At the same time, he was also filled with gratitude for the little female who had given him the herbs from Shilin.

Meanwhile, Wu Yue, who had just harvested dried bitter herbs, became depressed.

The dried bitter herbs I earned through hard work were bought up by the system at a low price. How can I tolerate this?
"Damn system, explain yourself clearly. This dried bitter vegetable wasted my favors, my firewood, and my sunshine. It's all-natural and pollution-free. Doesn't it deserve a high price?"

One point per pound? Don't you think you're being too hasty?

Wu Yue growled in dissatisfaction.

The system smugly crossed its legs: "I'm going to settle this with you. Did you want the fire seed back? No way!"

Did you chop the firewood yourself? No way!
Did you create the sun? No way!
Did you gather the bitter herbs yourself? Probably not in the vast majority!
So, besides cheap labor, you didn't incur any costs. Is one point too little for you? Don't be ungrateful.

So I'm just cheap labor, huh?

Looking at the pitiful fifty-odd points on the panel, Wu Yue felt utterly disheartened.
"Moon, are you there?" The voice of the green grass came from outside the cave, pulling Wu Yue out of her despair.

"You damn system, you just wait. This isn't over yet. I'll settle the score with you when I get back." With that, he got up and walked out of the cave.

"Moon, the pit you wanted has been dug. My sister asked me to come and take a look at it." Green Grass's voice was very cheerful.

The two arrived at the new home that Wu Yue had chosen before. The place that was originally flat now had a pit as tall as an orc.

Above the pit was an earthen wall that was slightly shorter than the surrounding thatched huts, only rising in the middle.

There were also some little kids chattering and watching nearby, making it quite lively.

Only two males of the blue flower are working today; the other male is going out hunting and will be responsible for today's food.

The area around the pit had been smoothed out and covered with a layer of white mud.

I used to see videos of Vietnamese people digging houses in the wild, and the waterproofing inside was done by mixing termite mounds with wood ash and applying it to the walls.

So, watching videos occasionally is still useful, isn't it? Well, that's why it came in handy after I traveled through time.

The system sneered: "Host, do you have anything in common with the termite nest you found that you saw in previous videos?"

Wu Yue said awkwardly, "Tongzi, please don't always dampen my spirits when I'm feeling proud. I'll become depressed."

The system scoffed: "This world is depressed, and you, host, don't even know it. You're a unique flower in the world of self-indulgence."

This system is a piece of shit; I really want to block it.
