Chapter 178 Yue will definitely like it
Without much thought, Bai Ling immediately agreed to the Central Tribe Orcs' request: "I can teach you how to make bows and arrows. As for what to exchange, I hope all your tribe's caravans will help me collect seeds."
Bai Ling has everything he needs now, with plenty to eat and drink. The crops he has planted are enough for his family to eat as well. Instead of exchanging things with the central tribe, he might as well ask them to help him find seeds.
Bai Ling had seen the Sky Beastmen in their beast form. Their beast form was enormous, with a wingspan of nearly seven or eight meters. They were incredibly fast, taking less than a minute from takeoff to disappearing into the distant sky.
Such a large bird is not just traveling "a thousand miles a day", but several times faster.
A bird of this speed would take more than a month to fly from the High Tree Tribe back to the Central Tribe, which is enough to prove just how vast the Orcish Continent is.
If Bai Ling were to rely solely on himself, he simply wouldn't be able to travel all over the beastman continent, nor would he be able to collect enough seeds.
If the caravans from the central tribes could help, his seed-collecting speed would be greatly accelerated, and he might be able to find cotton or similar seeds sooner.
The orc from the central tribe thought for a moment before saying, "Ling, I can't make the decision on this matter. The caravan's affairs are a major event for the tribe. Asking them to help collect seeds requires the joint decision of the four elders of the tribe."
“However, I think the elders would be willing,” the orc said.
Bai Ling smiled and said, "Alright, when your tribe arrives, I'm willing to talk to them in person."
Bai Ling had more than just bows and arrows; he also had many other valuable items. He not only wanted to ask the Central Tribe's caravan for help in finding seeds, but also wanted to cooperate with the Central Tribe in other places.
At first, Bai Ling only wanted to lead his own tribe to a better life. Later, he also wanted to lead the surrounding tribes to a better life. And later still, he wanted to bring some change to the orc world.
At least let these innocent, cute, and kind beastmen have a better life.
To fulfill this wish, he certainly couldn't do it on his own. He knew his own nature; he could create things that didn't exist in this world, but he couldn't bring about changes to the entire orc continent.
This will require the help of a powerful tribe with prestige throughout the entire orc continent.
The central tribe is an excellent partner.
The things he creates can be spread to more tribes through the central tribe. Bai Ling also needs the central tribe's help to create a calendar, writing, and other things that can bring about change to the world.
Bai Ling thought to himself that as long as the orcs from the Central Tribe arrived, he would have a way to get them to agree to his demands, since he had more than just bows and arrows as valuable items.

Cang was not in the same hunting team as Yue this time. While Yue and Bai Ling went to Yuanhu Tribe, Cang set off to hunt in other places.
He returned earlier than Yue, and when Cang saw the bow and arrow, he was absolutely captivated by it.
Cang was a member of the hunting party, and having dealt with wild animals year-round, he understood better than the orcs in the tribe who were responsible for gathering what a bow and arrow truly meant.
A bow and arrow that can attack wild beasts from a distance is a godsend for orcs.
"Ling, I really like it," Cang said, completely enamored with the bow and arrow. If it weren't for the fact that it was getting dark and he could barely see the trees in front of him, he would have loved to shoot a few more arrows.
Seeing that her father liked it, Bai Ling felt very happy: "Father, this bow and arrow is for you, but there aren't many arrows."
Feng said from the side, "The chieftain said to tell the carpenters to hurry up and make arrows, and to equip the hunting teams with bows and arrows first. Each hunting team will be equipped with five bows and arrows, and each bow and arrow will be equipped with twenty arrows."
The making of bows and arrows is not complicated, but the orcs were not skilled at making them at first and needed Bai Ling's guidance. Therefore, each hunting team can only be equipped with five bows and arrows for the time being.
As for the arrows, they are simple to make but time-consuming. For now, each bow and arrow team will be equipped with twenty arrows. After a period of time, when there are more bows and arrows than needed, they will be gradually provided to the hunting teams and patrol teams.
Bai Ling didn't need to worry about those things; he just needed to help his people make the bows and arrows they needed.
For the past few days, Bai Ling has been working in the carpentry group. In addition to making bows and arrows, the orcs in the carpentry group also make doors, windows, tables and benches. Now the carpentry group is the busiest group in the entire tribe. They start working as soon as it is dawn and do not stop until evening. They do not rest at all throughout the day, and even their meals are brought to them by the tribespeople.
Bai Ling, like them, spent the whole day at the carpentry group, and only returned to the tribe with her people when it was almost dark.
If it gets too hot, the orcs will stop working and have a bowl of cooled mung bean soup.
This was suggested by Bai Ling. It's too hot in the summer, and when you're working, you sweat non-stop. At this time, you need to replenish a lot of water. The planted mung beans have been harvested, so now is the perfect time to make mung bean soup.
Bai Ling drank half a bowl of mung bean soup and then continued working. The arrows that Chief Zhan had requested were already made, but of course, the more of these things the better. Bai Ling and the two orcs in the carpentry team were still making arrows.
As their proficiency increased, they made arrows much faster. To make arrows even faster, the three of them used an assembly line method: Bai Ling and one orc were responsible for whittling wooden sticks, while another orc was responsible for attaching feathers to the arrows.
Bai Ling kept her head down, focusing all her attention on the wooden stick in her hand, and didn't pay any attention to the movements around her.
So when a hand patted his shoulder, Bai Ling was startled. He turned around and saw the face he had been longing for.
"Yue, you're back!" Bai Ling put down his tools, stood up, and gave Yue a hug: "Yue, you're back."
Yue blushed slightly. Even though the beastmen were passionate, Yue still felt shy embracing in front of so many of their people.
Some of the orcs working together glanced at Bai Ling and Yue with envy, for they were single. Others wore understanding smiles, for they already had partners.
An older orc said, "Ling, why don't you and Yue go and talk for a while? We can handle things here."
"Yes, yes, Yue is finally back. You must have a lot to talk about. We'll take care of things here."
"Ling, you should go quickly. Anyway, we've already made quite a few arrows, so a little more time won't make a difference."
……
Bai Ling spoke a few more words to the tribespeople, then took Yue's hand and left.
He wanted to show the finished bow and arrow to Yue, and Yue would definitely like it.
Bai Ling even had a premonition that Yue's talent for archery would be exceptionally high.
This premonition came without any reason, but Bai Ling firmly believed that Yue was a born archer.
