Chapter 247: Thirty-Six Pairs of Black Stockings in the Shopping Cart!
“System, can’t you add a shopping cart to the store?” Lin Ye thought for a moment and said this to the system in his mind.
A few seconds passed. The system’s prompt tone sounded.
“Ding! The system accepts the host’s reasonable request and has completed the update.” “Ding! Do you want to pay 200 points to download the latest system patch.” After hearing the system’s prompt, Lin Ye’s lips curved into an imperceptible smile. “This system seems to be a beginner too. I still need to remind it frequently for it to update.” “Pay, update!” Lin Ye silently chanted in his heart.
Following that, he saw a progress bar appear on the system store interface before his eyes. The progress bar moved very quickly. It was completed in just a few seconds. Then, with a flash of white light, after Lin Ye blinked, he found that the progress bar before him had disappeared. The system store interface returned to Lin Ye’s eyes.
Blinking again, Lin Ye began to carefully examine the updated system store. The product shelves remained unchanged. It was just that next to each product name, a small plus sign had been added. Also, next to the point balance in the lower left corner, a shopping cart icon had appeared. Lin Ye casually added an item to it. Then his gaze focused on the shopping cart icon. The icon immediately enlarged, becoming a rectangular interface. At the top of this interface was the item Lin Ye had just added. A small image showed the appearance of the product, followed by its name and price. Looking at the shopping cart, Lin Ye couldn’t help but mentally complain to the system. “Why does this shopping cart look so familiar?” “System, did you directly rip it off from Taobao?” After complaining, the system gave no response.
Lin Ye then continued to study the usage of the shopping cart. “Since it’s so similar to Taobao’s shopping cart, does that mean the operation is the same as well?” Lin Ye said to himself. Then he began to study it with great concentration.
After a while. Lin Ye was still studying the shopping cart. The Beast-eared Girls and Winged Girls each held piranhas, cleaned and skewered with branches, and walked over. Upon entering, the Beast-eared Girls and Winged Girls saw Lin Ye sitting on a rock, deep in thought. After exchanging glances, the Beast-eared Girls and Winged Girls quietly walked past from the side. When they reached a short distance away, they stuck the piranhas into the ground and began to start a fire to roast the fish. Several Winged Girls flapped their wings and flew to the cave to get seasonings. Winged Girls usually served as messengers and orderlies in the tribe because they could fly. Previously, it took at least ten minutes to go from the open space to the cave and back. But the Winged Girls could make the round trip in less than a third of that time.
Lin Ye, who had been researching the shopping cart, looked up when he heard the voices of the Beast-eared Girls and Winged Girls. Seeing that they had already brought over the processed piranhas, and seeing them starting the fire, Lin Ye smiled at them. Then he continued to study how to use the shopping cart, while continuously adding items to it.
After an unknown amount of time, Lin Ye heard Shi calling his name from the side. “Ye! The fish are all roasted, come and eat!” Hearing Shi’s voice, Lin Ye looked up. After stretching his slightly stiff neck, he replied to Shi, “Okay, I’ll be right there!” After speaking, Lin Ye lowered his head and checked the items in the shopping cart again. Seeing the thirty-six pairs of black stockings in the shopping cart, Lin Ye nodded with satisfaction. When he saw the black stockings again, Lin Ye almost placed an order immediately. This was because, besides Lin Ye himself and Grandma Nanrong, there were a total of thirty-six Beast-eared Girls and Winged Girls in the tribe. Each pair of stockings cost 10,000 points, and Lin Ye happened to have 360,000 points.
However, Lin Ye’s reason still prevailed over his desires. The top priority now was not such matters. After dealing with the Hundred Beast Tribe, he could consider the matter of black stockings. At that time, as long as he had enough points, not only black stockings, but Lin Ye saw that behind the black stockings, there were vast treasures waiting for him to discover! He closed the shopping cart and the system store, stood up from the rock, and walked towards the Beast-eared Girls and Winged Girls, rubbing his slightly stiff neck from looking down for so long. They were all holding a roasted fish in each hand, eating heartily without regard for their appearance. Seeing Lin Ye approach, they smiled at him before immediately returning to their meal with full concentration. Lin Ye also sat down by the side and pulled out two roasted fish from the ground. The Unicorn also stood aside and ate several roasted fish today. The fish heads that the Beast-eared Girls didn’t eat were all consumed by the Unicorn.
Seeing that the Beast-eared Girls and Winged Girls did not eat the fish heads, Lin Ye coughed twice and said to them, “Cough, cough!” “Don’t just eat the meat, dig out the fish eyes and eat them too. Eating fish eyes will make your own eyes see more clearly when you look at things.” Hearing Lin Ye’s words, the Beast-eared Girls and Winged Girls tilted their heads in confusion and looked at Lin Ye. As it was already very dark, the eyes of the Beast-eared Girls and Winged Girls reflected various colored fluorescence. Seeing this scene, Lin Ye was stunned for a moment. Then he said again, “Eat them, eat them. It’s good for you anyway if you eat the fish eyes.” Lin Ye had forgotten again that the eyes of the Beast-eared Girls and Winged Girls were different from those of ordinary humans. Each of them possessed excellent dynamic vision, and their field of vision was very wide.
Lin Ye thought about this and took a bite of a fish eye himself, chewing it vigorously. After eating the grilled fish, everyone returned to the wooden house to sleep. Thinking that they would finally start making firebricks for building the furnace tomorrow, Lin Ye, the Beast-eared Girls, and the Winged Girls all had smiles of anticipation on their faces. Lying on their beds, everyone forced themselves to close their eyes and sleep, all in order to greet tomorrow’s work in a full and energetic state.
The next morning. The sun had not yet risen. A thin mist permeated the air. Lin Ye, along with the Beast-eared Girls and Winged Girls, had already begun to excavate clay. This time, Lin Ye personally helped the Beast-eared Girls and Winged Girls dig down into the clay that had dried into chunks. Lin Ye used his Eye of Investigation to check. The clay content here was very high, enough to make at least one furnace.
One bucket after another of clay was transported by the Winged Girls to the water pipe. As this clay was so dry, it all had to be re-wetted before it could be used. Moreover, this way, impurities could not be cleaned out. Lin Ye and the Beast-eared Girls and Winged Girls worked tirelessly for three days, digging. The excavated clay was piled up into a small mountain. Then, the clay was wetted, and the fine impurities were cleaned out from it.
One day, while Lin Ye was leading the Beast-eared Girls and Winged Girls in cleaning the impurities from the clay, Sakura, after casting her Talent Ability on the vegetable garden, ran back with an excited smile on her face. Before she even returned, she shouted to Lin Ye, “Ye! Come quickly, that wheat has ripened again!” Hearing Sakura’s voice, Lin Ye looked up. He saw Sakura running towards him with a happy smile and blushing cheeks, calling out to him. After clearly hearing Sakura’s words, a smile also appeared on Lin Ye’s face. The Beast-eared Girls and Winged Girls also heard Sakura say that the wheat had ripened again. Everyone also laughed happily. The wheat they had ground last time had just been eaten a few days ago. The Beast-eared Girls and Winged Girls thought they wouldn’t be able to eat Gnocchi Soup for several more days when Sakura brought the news that the wheat had ripened again today. After laughing for a while, all the Beast-eared Girls and Winged Girls looked at Lin Ye with expectant eyes. Lin Ye looked around at the Beast-eared Girls and Winged Girls and said with a smile, “What are you looking at me for? Go wash your hands and harvest the wheat!” After Lin Ye finished speaking, the Beast-eared Girls and Winged Girls froze for a few seconds. But immediately, they cheered and stood up from the ground, running to the water pipe to wash their hands.
Lin Ye also went to wash his hands. Seeing Lin Ye joining them, the Beast-eared Girls and Winged Girls smiled excitedly at Lin Ye. After washing their hands, Lin Ye led the Beast-eared Girls and Winged Girls to the vegetable garden. The Beast-eared Girls and Winged Girls all looked excitedly at the field full of wheat ears. “Wow! There’s so much more wheat than the last time we planted.” “The wheat ears this time are also much bigger than the last time.” “So, will the flour we grind this time be enough to eat for a long time?” The Beast-eared Girls and Winged Girls stood there, excitedly discussing the wheat.
