Chapter 410: Chapter 355: Great Tribe’s Stone Houses (2)

Teng Qian and Teng Kun chuckled dryly and shrugged. "We’ve never built one either. We just helped out the men in the tribe when we were kids." 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

Most importantly, they didn’t have bricks or anything to bind them together. They couldn’t just stack things one by one—it would definitely collapse!

Wu Yue looked at them, her hopes dashed. "If you don’t know how to build a house, why did you say all that back in the cave?"

Yuan Lang cleared his throat, sounding rather aggrieved. "But didn’t you build that underground house before?"

Wu Yue was speechless.

’Back then, I just piled up some mud to make a wall over a big pit. Are you telling me to go pile up mud now?’

"Digging a hole in the ground is one thing, but how would I know how to build one above ground?"

For a moment, the four of them just stared at each other, at a loss.

"So, what’s the plan?"

"How should I know?"

"We’ll just have to figure it out!"

Wu Yue sighed internally. ’Am I going to have to ask the System for help again?’

"DING! Main quest issued: Host must successfully build a sturdy and durable house and promote its construction throughout the entire Snow Tiger Tribe.

Time Limit: Before winter.

Reward: Cotton Seeds ×1 (bag)

Points: 500

Note: Additional rewards may be granted for other outstanding performance.

Please continue your efforts and strive for greater success!"

Wu Yue was speechless.

’I don’t even know how to build a house, and now it has to be sturdy and durable? This is too much.’

"Host, the rewards for this quest are unprecedentedly generous! We have to complete it!"

"Easy for you to say. How am I supposed to complete it? Are you going to make me spend points to buy the solution again?"

As she spoke, she gave the System a stingy, miserly glare.

The System was indignant. ’Am I the kind of System that only exploits its Host?’

’You are!’

Seeing her unwavering gaze, the System snorted in disdain. "I was going to tell you some good news, but since you don’t trust me, forget it."

Hearing this, Wu Yue’s eyes instantly lit up. "We’re partners who rely on each other to survive! How could I not trust you? I was just kidding."

With that, she beamed, pulled the Blue Fatty out of her backpack, and hugged it. She waved to the three worried-looking Beastman Warriors. "I’ll go back and think of a solution. I’ll come find you when I figure something out."

Then, she turned to dash away.

Yuan Lang sighed and walked up to her. "The cave collapsed. I’ll take you to set up a tent."

Only then did Wu Yue scratch her head in embarrassment. She had been so focused on the System’s "good news" that she’d completely forgotten they were now homeless.

Seeing her cute, embarrassed expression, the corners of Yuan Lang’s lips curled up. "Don’t worry, I’ve..." He’d set up plenty of tents before.

But he hadn’t even finished speaking when a loud voice from up ahead cut him off. "Yue, I’ve already set up your tent for you! Come back and sleep!"

Yuan Lang was speechless.

’These days, other Beastmen aren’t the problem. It’s these tactless young females who are always ruining the moment.’

Wu Yue was anxious to hear the good news from the System, so she naturally didn’t notice the displeased look from the Beastman Warrior beside her.

However, Qingcao, who was directly in front of them, saw it. Her face, which had already slimmed down considerably, instantly stiffened.

Then, as if in a moment of sudden realization, she slapped her forehead. "Ah, I remember now! Amu built that tent for my older sister. I came to ask you, Yue, to sleep with me."

Heaven knows that tent could barely fit her as it was; there was no way it could squeeze in Wu Yue too.

Wu Yue glanced at Qingcao’s still somewhat chubby figure, then at the pitiful-looking little tent behind her, and decisively turned back to Yuan Lang. "I’ll have to trouble you after all. Could my tent be a little bigger than that one?"

Threatened by a Beastman and now with her tent rejected by her friend, Qingcao whimpered and crawled into her tent to nurse her wounded pride.

Being needed by her, Yuan Lang was instantly revived to full health. His minor annoyance was immediately forgotten.

Since he was building a tent for her, he naturally couldn’t make it a shabby one.

He grabbed his two free laborers and headed straight for the nearby forest. After a few loud THWACKS from his claws, he returned carrying several thick logs. "Just wait a moment. This will be quick."

He pulled out a few lengths of Beast Tendon from a basket they had salvaged. He had specially saved these for making a Bow and Arrow.

Teng Kun dug a deep hole in the ground. Yuan Lang planted the thickest log in it and buried the base, then fastened the remaining logs to this central post.

Afterward, he secured a thick stack of Beast Skins to the wooden frame.
