Pampered in the Beast World: The Frail Beauty Has Many Children and Much Fortune – Chapter 9

Ch 9: A Small Harvest

Following Zhi Le’s lead in fooling around all night, Si Shuo thought that she wouldn’t be able to get up today and miss the gathering.

However, after accepting Zhi Le’s beast mark, apart from some soreness in her waist, her body felt lighter and more comfortable than ever!

She touched the snow leopard head beast mark on the inside of her left wrist, no matter how she looked at it, it was handsome and stylish.

Si Shuo drank the meat soup, taking advantage of this time, she looked at the reward for main quest 1: a survival pack and one thousand beast coins.

She opened the survival pack, and inside fell a 《Beast World Continent Plant Guide, a gray and dusty Barb, a twenty-meter Large Shrimp cage, a pottery pot firing formula, and an Ability Awakening Pill!

Each reward was very much needed for her right now.

Si Shuo opened the plant guide, and the book turned into starlight and flowed into her mind. She moved her eyes slightly, took out the purple wild strawberries she had put into her space yesterday, and the system gave a detailed annotation, name, appearance characteristics, distribution range, growth habits, breeding methods, species classification, value, and so on. This function was simply essential for gathering.

She put the other items into her space. Not knowing how long it would take for the Ability Awakening Pill to take effect, or whether it would cause any physical discomfort, she didn’t dare to take it immediately, planning to wait until after gathering.

The system also opened the mall, and the types and prices of things sold inside were the same as in the supermarket.

Looking at the dazzling array of goods, even though Si Shuo only had one thousand beast coins, she felt a lot more at ease in her heart.

After receiving the reward, the system then released a new task!

Main Quest 2: Conceive a cub.

Main Quest 3: Form a bond with a second Beast Husband whose combat strength is above level six.

Side Quest 1: Awaken an ability.

Daily Quest: Gather supplies.

Si Shuo’s face flushed red, and she thought of her intimate moments with Zhi Le last night again. As expected of a vigorous beastman, that brute force was both lovable and frightening.

She hadn’t even digested it yet, and the system continued to urge her to give birth and to take in a second Beast Husband…

“Si Shuo,” Yi Mei had already packed up and stood at the entrance of the cave waving at her, “Are you ready? We need to gather at the tribe entrance.”

Si Shuo nodded, hurriedly took the waterskin that Zhi Le had filled with boiled water for her, and walked out with the rattan basket on her back.

Without Zhi Le carrying her down, Si Shuo carefully used both her hands and feet to climb down the stone steps.

There were no rigid requirements for the gathering task in the tribe. The females could go if they wanted to, and if they didn’t want to, they could just wait at home for the males to serve them.

However, most of the females felt sorry for the Beast Husbands, fathers, and brothers in their families and were willing to share some of the labor.

The Lu’ni Tribe had several relatively routine gathering points, and each gathering point was equipped with a person in charge and a powerful guard squad.

Yi Mei pulled Si Shuo to line up familiarly, “There are a lot of delicious wild fruits in the shrubbery on the southwest side right now. Let’s gather more and dry them into dried fruit while the weather is good.

Are you going tomorrow? If you go, we’ll go to the mountains to dig wild vegetables. If we’re lucky, we can catch a few silly rabbits. A female dug up a nest of bamboo rats a few days ago!”

Si Shuo nodded, “Yes, Zhi Le is very opinionated and wants me to hoard more meat before the Spring Hunt, so he hunts every day. I’ll gather every day too.”

Yi Mei happily pulled her, “Okay, let’s gather together in the future.”

As she spoke, she also introduced Si Shuo to several females who were easier to get along with, all of whom had average to below-average fertility and Beast Husbands with ordinary combat strength.

After gathering, the beastmen of the guard squad transformed into their beast forms one after another. One beastman carried four females and ran towards the shrubbery.

The beastmen’s speed was fast and steady, and after only ten minutes or so, they arrived at a large shrubbery.

◈◈◈

After getting down, Yi Mei grabbed Si Shuo’s arm and earnestly instructed, “We’ll spread out and gather inside later. There are guards patrolling back and forth in this area, and there are also Eagle Beastmen watching in the sky.

If there’s any danger, shout. When you hear the horn, go back and gather back to the tribe. It’s basically when the sun is leaning towards the upper left.

If you encounter other females gathering, don’t crowd around. Go find other places…”

Si Shuo smiled and agreed one by one, waving goodbye to Yi Mei.

She slowly walked, found a hidden place, spent three coins from the mall, and exchanged them for a leopard-print scrunchie to half-tie her wind-blown hair.

She didn’t have a good sense of direction and was afraid of getting lost, so she spent another twenty coins to buy a retro-style compass. A natural watch and towels also had to be bought!

After checking the direction, Si Shuo quickly walked south, pricking up her ears to capture the sound of birds in the jungle.

Since there were many berries in this season, there must be birds gathering to peck at them. Soon she locked on to the location and trotted over.

The closer she got, the more birds she heard, chattering so loudly that her brain hurt.

However, she was stunned when she arrived.

The shrubbery was full of short, sturdy trees with lush canopies. From the outside, they looked like they were connected, and the Eagle Beastmen outside couldn’t see the situation below.

But in addition to the trees, there were also many thorny, tangled, and connected thickets of thorny plants. The berries on the outside had been picked almost clean.

Si Shuo couldn’t see the inside even by jumping, but listening to the lively chirping of the birds, she could guess how many good things were inside!

She looked up through the gaps in the leaves and saw the Eagle Beastmen patrolling from time to time. After pondering for a moment, she trotted along the thicket of thorns and found a small path that the previous females had broken open in one place.

It was too difficult to clear such a small path. The previous females only broke open five meters and gave up.

After she crawled in, she gritted her teeth and spent seven hundred beast coins from the mall to buy a set of scratch-resistant windbreakers, a pair of discounted travel shoes, a pair of labor protection gloves, protective goggles, and a mask.

After arming herself, Si Shuo found a slightly sparse place, curled up her body, buried her head, and crawled in with difficulty. After about a meter, she used the Barb to open up a new path.

The thorny branches weren’t thick and were brittle, so they could be cut off with a little force.

Si Shuo cut off the roots of the thorns, pushed them to the side, and the thorns entwined on top didn’t move. The branches below moved out of a small path, which wouldn’t attract the attention of the Eagle Beastmen, and it wasn’t difficult for her to open up a path.

After cutting for a few minutes, all she could smell was the sweet fragrance of fruit.

Si Shuo looked up and saw strings of wild grapes that were so purple they were almost black!

Her eyes sparkled. She took off her gloves, picked one, put it in her mouth, and it was sour, sweet, and juicy, quenching her thirst and delicious.

Si Shuo immediately bought a pair of scissors, cut off a string of grapes, and weighed it. It was about a pound.

She washed it clean with water, ate half a string to her heart’s content, and then continued to work, putting the strings of grapes she cut off into her space!

In addition to the grapes, there were also Zhu fruits, snake berries, purple mulberries, and yellow cherry fruits that the Original Owner recognized. She could reach out and pick the patches of fruit, and she could occasionally pick up a few birds that were trapped by the branches.
