Orc Girl's Tribal Daily Life

Chapter 71 Cong's Gift of Gratitude

Jiang Luoluo looked down at the fallen spikes, and a thought, "It really isn't sturdy," popped into her head.

She originally wanted to replicate the weapon designs from the game to see how they would perform in real life and whether they had the same destructive power as in the game.

But as expected, even when made of a sturdy material like Earthstone, some parts that shouldn't be there are still fragile and have no practical use whatsoever.

Jiang Luoluo regretfully broke off the remaining spikes, which were similar to decorations, leaving only the main double-edged axe blade.

The shape is alright, but I don't know how useful it will be in actual combat. Jiang Luoluo looked at the axe blade shape that had only been slightly sharpened and waved it in her hand.

Once it's ground out, let's find something to test its effectiveness.

She didn't care about Brown breaking the spikes—she was making a weapon, and if a weapon breaks at the slightest touch, it's fundamentally substandard. That's a quality issue with her work, and it has nothing to do with Brown.

Earthstones are considered important items for tribes, especially larger ones.

He gave Jiang Luoluo a large piece of Earth Star Stone, which was used by the nearly adult members of the tribe. Naturally, he didn't hope that it would be used to make some pretty but useless decorations. Instead, he hoped that the cub could use her talent to create some "innovative" weapons.

Just like the stone knife that the cub made before, the shape of that stone knife has now become the template for many members of the tribe to sharpen their stone knives.

That's why Brown touched those intimidating-looking spikes, wanting to see how effective the weapons made by the cubs were... but he didn't expect them to be so fragile, falling right off.

Even if Jiang Luoluo didn't fully understand the meaning of "brown," she could still guess a bit of it. Although she had a slight personal bias, the reason she chose this shape as a weapon was because the shape of the terrain stone was suitable.

Earthstone, which is normally used to make weapons, is usually long and narrow, making it more suitable for being polished into shapes like stone knives.

The Earth Star Stone that Jiang Luoluo is currently crafting is somewhat flat and round in shape. If she were to make one stone knife, she would waste most of the Earth Star Stone. However, if she were to make two stone knives separately, they would be too short and could only be used by the children.

It's the kind of thing that would be a waste to use or not, so nobody touches it.

This is also why He Neng brought this Earth Star Stone to Jiang Luoluo.

After all, if it were a normal shape, it would definitely be prioritized for use by the orc warriors in the tribe.

Jiang Luoluo also chose the shape of a double-edged axe to fit the Earth Star Stone after careful consideration.

The spikes on top were originally from parts that should have been removed normally, which is why they fall off easily when touched.

However, this also shows that they were never really suited to be in this position, so there's no difference.

Jiang Luoluo had lived in the tribe for quite some time and had always felt the limitations of scarce resources, which prevented her from doing or creating many things.

In addition, there is a family waiting for her to support—although in everyone's eyes, it is Ge who has taken on the responsibility of raising Jiang Luoluo and is supporting this family, in Jiang Luoluo's heart, who is an adult, she also has a responsibility to Ge—how could Jiang Luoluo, because of her past affection, waste such important resources of the tribe?

Before Jiang Luoluo could continue thinking, He had already packed all her things and taken her back for lunch.

As soon as the two returned to the cave, they saw a strange figure approaching from not far away, accompanied by dull thumping sounds coming from the rain.

The two figures stopped at the entrance of the cave, silently watching the figure get closer and closer.

When the person opposite them finally emerged from the rain and approached them, Jiang Luoluo recognized that the other person was actually the carpenter Cong.

His strange appearance was due to the fact that he was covered with wooden basins of all sizes, making him look like a monster from a distance, and there was also the sound of the wooden basins clattering against each other.

"Cong, what's going on?" He and Jiang Luoluo invited Cong into the cave to take shelter from the rain. Looking at Cong, He's face was full of surprise as he asked.

It seems that the cubs were only ordered from Cong in a few wooden tubs.

But Cong was carrying at least a dozen or twenty wooden basins on his body, which he carried on his shoulders, in his hands, tied around his waist, and on his head. No wonder he looked so strange as he walked over from afar.

Cong put down the wooden basin that was sheltering him from the rain, laughed twice, and seemed to be in a particularly good mood. "It's not just Luo's; other tribespeople also asked me to make wooden basins. It's been raining these past few days, so they can't be dried outside. My house is almost full of them, so I took out the ones I made and brought them over to everyone first."

Cong pointed to his own body, "Look, this way I can carry more, saving me the trouble of running back and forth."

Cong took down four wooden basins of different sizes and put them down, and placed a pile of wooden jars and other wooden products that he was carrying in his other hand next to them.

"That's all, Luo, He, I'm going to the next place." Cong put the wooden basin that had been used to shelter from the rain back on his head and turned to leave.

Jiang Luoluo quickly stepped forward and grabbed the other person, waving her hand to indicate the extra wooden items piled up. He chimed in from the side, "No, Cong, you're mistaken, these aren't what Luo wanted..."

Cong looked down at the cub that was holding her, her smile still bright, and used her free hand after putting down the things to pat the cub's head.

"That's right, it's for you. Please accept it. Many people in the tribe are coming to me to make wooden basins. I should thank you for these."

After all, it was the cub who first made the request to make the wooden tub, and it was also the cub who first used the wooden tub to wash clothes, which attracted other tribesmen to come and make wooden tubs.

Although Cong was the only carpenter in the tribe, he never had to worry about food and clothing, nor did he have to hunt for his life like the other tribesmen.

But in reality, Cong's life was just enough to support himself; he couldn't be described as wealthy.

The people of the tribe have always cherished things that they cannot make themselves. Except when an item is worn out beyond repair, or when a family member moves to a new house and needs to prepare new household items, very few people will go to Cong to customize anything.

Therefore, Cong's quality of life has always been just right.

But because of the cubs, he suddenly received many more orders and gained a lot of unexpected exchange goods.

Most importantly, Cong is of marriageable age and is currently preparing for a marriage proposal.

Most people in the tribe admire and aspire to be strong. People like Cong, who rely on a carpentry skill passed down through generations to establish themselves in the village, may gain the respect and recognition of the tribe members, but they have no advantage when it comes to marriage.

Because both men and women in the tribe prefer strong orc warriors, and Cong has been acquainted with Mu Tou since childhood, so his fighting strength is only slightly better than that of the shaman and the children on Little Stone Mountain.

However, if Cong can produce a large amount of food, that's another story.

The amount of food he possesses, to some extent, reflects his survival ability.

The tribe's only pursuit these days is to have enough to eat. The fact that Cong can produce so much food demonstrates his strength and gives him an advantage in marriage proposals.

Therefore, Cong could hardly hide his joy. Even though it was a gloomy, rainy day that would make anyone feel depressed, he seemed very happy.

They also didn't forget to give Jiang Luoluo, who brought them all this, some reward.

Cong could tell, and from the news from the tribe during this period, that the cub loved making all sorts of things and always had all sorts of novel ideas and thoughts.

This requires a wide variety of containers to meet the occasional needs of the cubs, so Cong brought a copy of every wooden item of every shape he had.

To save space and make them easy to carry, these items are arranged in order of size, nested one inside the other, so at first glance they don't look like there are many, and only a few of the outermost ones are visible.

However, when Jiang Luoluo took out all these wooden products, she realized that the number was more than she had expected.
