Chapter 125 Let's get started
Upon seeing the purchase request, Ruan Mianmian immediately clicked on the other party's contact information. She didn't know how the system contacted them, but it was similar to WeChat, and the two had a chat window.
"Hello, do you need a lot of ice? Can you do snow?"
Ruan Mianmian was in the midst of a cold winter, and the snow seemed to be falling endlessly. She wasn't sure what the other party wanted, so she needed to ask carefully.
To my surprise, I got a reply as soon as I made the call.
"Anything is fine, as long as it's cold and frozen. I'm in the desert here, the weather is extremely hot and the area is arid and water-scarce. Water evaporates quickly, so we urgently need a lot of ice and snow."
Upon seeing this, Ruan Mianmian hurriedly offered to help, but she didn't know what the other side would offer in exchange.
"If you can provide a large amount of ice or snow, we have camel meat, cactus fruit, spices, and sand crystals that we can exchange with you."
Ruan Mianmian could understand what the first few were, but the last one, Sha Jing, confused her.
"Anything else is fine, but what is that sand crystal?"
After seeing this, the other person explained to her, "Sand crystals are crystallized sand. A single sand crystal can store 10,000 cubic meters of sand. Just smash it hard on the ground, and the sand will be released."
Ruan Mianmian silently calculated the area, and it really was quite large.
Considering the fineness of desert sand and its many uses, she readily agreed to the exchange.
So the next morning, before dawn, Ruan Mianmian gathered all the orcs in the tribe together.
She stood on a rock, arms crossed, looking at the crowd in front of her with a serious expression.
"I have something important to tell you all! This is very important. If we do it well, the Beast God will give us a generous reward afterward."
The orcs were already obedient to Ruan Mianmian, and now that they heard there was a reward for doing this, their eyes lit up, and they all responded, "No problem, leader, we'll do as you say!"
Ruan Mianmian nodded in satisfaction and continued, "Okay, after we finish breakfast, everyone in the tribe will go out to collect snow and ice. I will collect them all at once."
When everyone heard that it was just a simple task of collecting snow, they felt it was easy and all expressed that they would definitely be able to complete the task.
At this moment, Ruan Mianmian called Ban over alone.
After all, Madara's ability is an ice-based ability, and his specialty is the Snowball Technique.
She patted Ban on the shoulder and asked seriously, "Ban, go and ask the tribe if there are any other ice-type mutant beastmen. If so, lead them to make snowballs together. Do you think you can do this well?"
Ban puffed out his chest confidently and answered loudly, "Of course! Don't worry, Chief, I will definitely do a good job!"
So, after quickly finishing their roasted meat, everyone transformed into human form and emerged from the cave to begin collecting the accumulated snow.
After finishing her barbecue, Ruan Mianmian went outside wearing her thickest down jacket, with Sen and Yu standing behind her on either side.
Seeing everyone so enthusiastic, Ruan Mianmian was also very happy.
As she helped collect the snow, she observed her surroundings.
Suddenly, Senye transformed, and with a sweep of his tail, he swept all the nearby snow over, quickly piling it into a large heap.
With a wave of her hand, Ruan Mianmian instantly stored the accumulated snow in her storage space, compressing it as well.
Since Yu couldn't get the snow with his claws, he found a dead tree and swept it across the ground, slowly creating a pile.
……
With everyone working hard, the snow in the valley has been cleared away.
Looking at the piles of ice and snow in the storage space, Ruan Mianmian couldn't help but say, "Alright, everyone can go back to the cave to rest now. We've collected almost enough!"
Upon hearing the leader's voice, everyone shook off the snow and ran into the cave.
Despite their thick fur, it's still quite cold outdoors for extended periods.
When Yong saw that some of the orcs couldn't stand the cold, he couldn't help but laugh and scold, "What a waste of all that fur! Before you came to the tribe, you were still starving and freezing every day, and you weren't this cowardly!"
Everyone burst out laughing upon hearing this, truly proving that it's easy to go from frugality to extravagance but difficult to go from extravagance to frugality!
