Chapter 6: Improving Civilization Level! Obtaining Chili Seeds!
“Ding! Congratulations to the Host for successfully demonstrating drilling wood to make fire, improving the tribe’s Civilization Level, and obtaining rewards: Chili Seeds * 100.”
The sudden system prompt made Lin Ye freeze for a moment.
After hearing it clearly, a faint smile appeared on Lin Ye’s lips.
“I didn’t expect drilling wood to make fire to be considered part of improving Civilization Level. It seems I really need to retrace the path of human evolution to continuously gain Civilization Level.”
“Speaking of which, they gave me a hundred seeds. Are they telling me to develop agriculture?”
“And chili seeds, are they afraid I’ll eat too blandly in primitive society?”
“Is this system a Sichuan flavor system!”
Lin Ye chuckled inwardly, his lips curling up.
Xing, seeing Lin Ye suddenly stop talking and show a strange silly smile, looked at Sakura doubtfully and asked,
“How do you learn this?”
“Ah, how to learn? It’s very simple, just like I did just now.” Lin Ye, who had been lost in thought, finally came back to his senses and answered casually.
At this moment, the others returned with firewood. They all started to light fires and build bonfires, preparing to barbecue.
Xing originally wanted to ask more, but Lin Ye said, “Let’s eat meat first, and we’ll talk after that.”
Hearing Lin Ye say this, Xing could only turn around and start barbecuing.
Lin Ye and Sakura sat down beside the bonfire Lin Ye had started earlier.
Then, he picked up a sturdy branch from the side, sharpened one end, threaded the meat onto it, and then held it over the fire to roast.
Lin Ye handed the skewered meat to Sakura, then sharpened another branch and skewered another piece of meat.
Sitting on the ground, watching the meat in his hands slowly roast and drip juice over the bonfire, Lin Ye couldn’t stop drooling.
Lin Ye looked at the others and found that their methods were similar to his.
He even saw someone setting up a simple barbecue rack over the bonfire.
Lin Ye had originally thought that skewering and barbecuing meat might trigger the system’s Civilization Level again.
But now, it seemed there was no hope.
Seeing no opportunity to increase Civilization Level, Lin Ye began to focus wholeheartedly on grilling the meat in his hands.
He held the branch with both hands, constantly rotating the meat above the flames so that it would cook evenly.
Sakura, seeing Lin Ye’s constant rotation of the branch, started to imitate him.
The meat was cooked quickly. Lin Ye, fearing parasites from undercooked meat, roasted it for a little longer.
Lin Ye’s eyes were fixed on the reddish-brown roasted meat in his hand, and he mused,
“Without any seasonings, the roasted meat probably won’t taste good.”
However, Lin Ye had been unconscious for two days and had not eaten anything since waking up today.
His stomach was already rebelling, and if he didn’t eat something soon, he might faint again.
Thinking this, and being extremely hungry, Lin Ye
regardless of how it tasted, opened his mouth wide and took a big bite of the roasted meat.
The meat of beasts raised in the wild was very tough, and Lin Ye chewed the roasted meat in his mouth with effort.
Lin Ye felt that the roasted meat in his mouth had no flavor at all, except for the腥味 of the meat itself and the smoky flavor from the barbecue.
He turned his head to look at Sakura beside him and found that she was eating her roasted meat with a blissful expression, a stark contrast to Lin Ye’s grimace.
Lin Ye painstakingly swallowed the meat in his mouth and then asked Sakura,
“Sakura, does the tribe not have salt?”
Hearing Lin Ye’s voice, Sakura turned her head to look at him, then stretched her neck to swallow the meat in her mouth.
“Salt? What is that?” Sakura tilted her head and asked Lin Ye doubtfully.
This stumped Lin Ye. After thinking for a moment, he asked Sakura again.
“It’s something that tastes salty, you sprinkle it on when you roast meat.”
Sakura still shook her head and said to Lin Ye, “We never sprinkle anything else on our roasted meat. Salty, do you mean the taste of beast blood?”
“Beast blood doesn’t taste good, but without drinking beast blood, we’ll lose strength. Ye, do you want beast blood? I’ll go get it for you, there’s a lot.”
Saying this, Sakura was about to get up to get beast blood for Lin Ye, but Lin Ye quickly stopped her.
“I don’t want it, don’t go get it, I was just asking.”
After hearing Sakura’s words, Lin Ye finally understood what was going on.
They hadn’t discovered salt here yet and only relied on beast blood to supplement their salt intake.
No wonder animal offal was given to hunters first; it was their way of obtaining trace elements.
After understanding, Lin Ye didn’t think about anything else and focused on eating the roasted meat in his hands.
He ate the nearly one catty of roasted meat, which took about half an hour.
After finishing, Lin Ye felt his jaw had gotten bigger.
After he finished eating, the sun had already set.
Everyone began to smoke the remaining meat.
Lin Ye lay on the ground, resting his head on his hands, looking at the clouds in the sky.
After the incident of drilling wood to make fire, most of the Beast-eared Girls believed that Lin Ye knew witchcraft.
Even their gazes towards Lin Ye became respectful.
Lin Ye lay quietly on the ground, his thoughts drifting further and further away.
Just then, a figure blocked Lin Ye’s view.
It was Xing, who had come to find Lin Ye again.
