Chapter 48 System Upgrade
As darkness fell, the wind began to howl outside.
Normally at this time, the many little beastmen would huddle together for warmth, but this was not the case today.
Sen and Yu were grilling meat for everyone around the campfire. Some small, unformed beastmen were running and playing in the cave, stumbling and scrambling. Zhi didn't go back to the stone chamber at this moment, but sat by the campfire chatting with Ruan Mianmian about things related to winter.
"I've never spent the winter months here, so I don't know how cold it really is. Can you tell me?"
He didn't take Ruan Mianmian's words to heart.
He had met the orc tribe from the south at a trade fair when he was still in his original tribe.
Their place has a mild temperature all year round, and there is no such thing as winter, which they envied for a long time.
Hearing Ruan Mianmian say this, I thought she was also a female from the southern tribe.
"Winter here lasts for four beast months. The weather starts to turn cold at the end of autumn, and then heavy snow begins to fall as soon as winter arrives. At first, you can still go out and hunt some small animals. Gradually, the ground freezes over, and the heavy snow can bury a small beastman. Then everyone becomes unable to move and can only rely on each other for warmth while waiting for winter to pass."
"So how do you usually spend the winter?" Ruan Mianmian asked curiously.
"Gather enough food and firewood, then minimize activity to conserve your strength," Zhi replied.
Sometimes orcs from other tribes would come to exchange supplies, but most of the time we were self-sufficient.
Ruan Mianmian nodded, thinking to herself that she needed to adapt to life here as soon as possible.
At this moment, Sen walked over and handed Ruan Mianmian a piece of grilled meat.
"Try it, this is what we hunted today," Sen said with a smile.
Ruan Mianmian took the roasted meat, took a bite, and couldn't help but sigh that the taste was still as bland and tasteless as ever.
"Thank you, I really like it," Ruan Mianmian said somewhat insincerely.
Seeing Ruan Mianmian's depressed look, Zhi and Sen exchanged a smile. The goddess still couldn't get used to the tasteless barbecue.
Seeing Ruan Mianmian eating the barbecue with a somewhat unappetizing expression, Yu was also in a dilemma.
Where can we get salt for the little female?
With her current appetite, she can't even compare to a small beastman who hasn't yet taken human form.
If there is no food, there is no energy supply, and without energy, one cannot display divine power.
In their view, Ruan Mianmian had put in a lot of effort to build this wall today, and had done so much work, but she was eating so little. This made the group of beastmen who saw her appetite very worried. They were afraid that the little female was not eating well and would become thinner and thinner, and that she would get sick if she didn't eat enough.
"Tomorrow, talk to the other beastmen and see if there are any wild fruits left. Some of the larger beastmen who can hunt are also looking in the grass for Cuckoo Beast eggs. Many females like to eat them, and it's said that they're very good for your health."
Sen and Yu discussed that the immediate priority was to solve the problem of feeding the little female.
In their view, poor nutrition will lead to poor health, and with winter approaching, they are prone to illness if they are not careful.
Although their tribe has a high shaman, they lack a shamanic healer, making it impossible for them to cure diseases.
At this moment, Ruan Mianmian had no time to care about what others were saying. She was completely immersed in a dreamlike carnival, unable to extricate herself.
Just a moment ago, a clear and melodious sound entered her ears.
That was a system notification sound!
It clearly states: The update is complete, and the brand-new system is officially launched!
Filled with anticipation and barely suppressed excitement, Ruan Mianmian reached out and tapped the screen panel without hesitation.
However, when the scene unfolded before her, she couldn't help but feel dizzy and overwhelmed.
"How is it, dear host? After this upgrade, does this system seem more high-end and sophisticated?"
Just as Ruan Mianmian was fully focused on the complex interface in front of her, suddenly, the system's familiar yet slightly mischievous voice rang out, startling her quite a bit.
"That's...that's really amazing!" Ruan Mianmian stammered in response, still in a state of extreme excitement.
"Quickly... tell me what incredibly powerful new features have been added!"
"This update adds many new sections, such as location search, points redemption, and the store."
The system proudly introduced, "In the location search, you can enter anything you need or want, and as long as it exists on this continent, you can find it. The points redemption section allows you to exchange points for the items you need. And the shop has all sorts of goods; if you can think of it, you can buy it!"
Ruan Mianmian nodded excitedly; she couldn't wait to try out these new features.
At this moment, Sen and Yu noticed Ruan Mianmian's unusual behavior and asked with concern, "Goddess, what's wrong?"
Ruan Mianmian then realized she had been a bit out of line, and quickly explained, "It's nothing, I was just thinking about something happy. Oh, by the way, those wild boars are the meat of the Humming Beasts, I can take them out now, do you want them taken out now?"
When Mori and Yu learned that the little female could actually use divine power, both of them spontaneously broke into ecstatic smiles.
"Then let's take out a Humming Beast first! You haven't eaten anything properly these past two days. Let Yu roast a Humming Beast for you to try," Sen said to Ruan Mianmian with concern.
Upon hearing Sen's words, Ruan Mianmian couldn't help but recall the rich, milky aroma of the pork she had once roasted, which made her mouth water.
Immediately afterwards, she focused her mind and with just a simple thought, a huge wild boar, also known as the Oink Beast, appeared out of thin air in front of Sen.
Witnessing this miracle once again, both Sen and the others were still incredibly amazed.
The younger orcs were stunned by the sudden appearance of their prey, their mouths agape in disbelief.
