Favorite of the Beast-world: I Got Rich Through Farming-Chapter 156 - 120: City System Trial Begins

The long-armed ape Beastmen now had a much clearer understanding of the tribe’s potential and power.

It was only a pot of delicious meat soup, after all.

But how could any Beastman Tribe struggling on the verge of life and death, unable to find enough to eat or wear each day, possibly have enough spare food to perfect such a delicious broth?

Hearing the approaching footsteps, An Jin looked up and set down her spatula. "The Beastmen’s condition is under control. They just need to rest well for the next few days."

Each of the long-armed apes was holding a large, sealed jar of honey.

They respectfully presented them to An Jin. "Thank you so much. This is our tribe’s specialty this year. Aside from what our own Beastmen need, the rest is all here."

"There are many Painful Bee hives around our tribe. By chance, we discovered a delicious, viscous liquid inside them, so we’ve been deliberately raising them."

Then, the Long-armed Ape Clan Leader busily reached into his Beast Skin Bag. After rummaging around for a moment, he pulled out a few stalks of pungent-smelling grass.

An Jin took the grass and curiously pinched off a small, pointed leaf about the size of her thumbnail. The system didn’t indicate any toxicity.

She placed it on her lips to taste it. The flavor was bitter and astringent, which only made her more curious. "What is this for?"

Apes were known to be both cunning and intelligent. When An Jin had laid out her conditions for helping them, they had already discerned her future plans and intentions.

"If you also want to raise these Painful Bees, this grass is essential!"

"Crush this grass into a juice in a stone bowl and rub it on your body. As long as you don’t provoke the swarm, the Painful Bees won’t attack you."

’This is good stuff.’

An Jin was delighted. She memorized the grass’s appearance and gladly accepted it. "I hope our tribes can continue to get along as amicably as we are now."

The long-armed apes had naturally seen the Sheng’an Tribe’s strength. They were cowards who only bullied the weak. When faced with a stronger tribe, they became full of reverence.

Furthermore, this tribe had let bygones be bygones, not only forgiving their previous foolishness but also providing them with immense aid.

It’s natural for people to have selfish and greedy thoughts—that’s understandable—but Beastmen were generally more simple, straightforward, and firm believers in repaying kindness.

An Jin believed her judgment wasn’t wrong.

"By the Beast God, we are willing to forge a friendly alliance with your tribe. Worri Forest shall bear witness to our friendship."

She looked at the bald-headed Long-armed Ape Clan Leader, a meaningful smile on her face. She replied ambiguously, "I also hope our two tribes can always coexist peacefully, and that no other factors will arise to break our friendship."

The Long-armed Ape Clan Leader naturally understood the hidden meaning in her words and hurriedly declared his stance. "As long as I remain Clan Leader, I swear to the Beast God that absolutely nothing will damage the peaceful relationship between our two tribes!"

...

Xi had been unusually busy lately, frequently running off somewhere outside the tribe, and she had no idea what he was up to.

An Jin finally managed to catch him. "What’s going on?"

The Little Merfolk’s face was flushed with panic. He bit his lip and looked anxiously out the window at the pouring rain. "Ah Jin, I might have to leave for half a month. Another Deep Sea Beast Tide has erupted in the ocean!"

"It’s even worse than last year. Large numbers of Water Beastmen are migrating toward the inland waters."

"This is the first time I’ve seen a Deep Sea Beast Tide this massive since I hatched. I hope it doesn’t endanger us here..."

Worry crept into An Jin’s heart as well. "...Have Water Beastmen been calling to you for help?"

Xi nodded, touching his azure ear-fins, which drooped softly amongst his hair. "We Water Beastmen can send signals to each other using sounds you can’t hear..."

An Jin nodded in understanding. ’Different soundwave frequencies,’ she thought. ’Like a private channel only they can hear.’

Xi had a rare, irritated look on his face. Though the room was quiet, he clutched his ear-fins, as if enduring a tremendous clamor. "No, this won’t do. I have to go now. Any later and my head is going to explode."

"They need someone to rally around, to lead them..."

As a member of the Blue Shark Royal Family, he was the best candidate.

Xi was gone for a full half a month. There was no news from him at all, as if he had completely vanished from An Jin’s life.

The third wave of heavy rainfall of the wet season finally came to an end.

Before the arrival of the great cold season, the land would enjoy nearly half a month of clear skies, giving the animals time to prepare and hoard food.

The basic construction of the city was also finally complete.
