Chapter 11
Lu Yu still didn’t know that they had attracted attention shortly after settling here. It wasn’t entirely his fault for being not cautious; after all, besides the Matai people, he hadn’t seen any other primitive humans.
Moreover, after moving into the cabin, there were new updates on the game panel.
[Game Panel (Upgradeable)]
[Upgrading will unlock new features]
[Number of home functions open: 1]
[Primary Village ×1 (Upgradeable)]
After selecting to upgrade the village, new missions for collecting materials appeared.
This time, the mission required ten times more materials than before, and two additional items were added: collecting branches and collecting hemp.
Lu Yu originally thought that if the requirements for upgrading the village were the same as last time, they could work hard for a few more days, but now it seemed that they couldn’t complete it quickly with their current population.
They could only collect materials slowly. Lu Yu thought helplessly.
But fortunately, they were living quite comfortably now, so there was no need to rush. What concerned him the most at the moment was the upgrade in the panel.
The first upgrade unlocked the homestead function. What would be unlocked with another upgrade, he wondered…
He really wished he could upgrade immediately.
It’s just this upgrade method… Lu Yu thought of the embarrassing moment when he was scrubbing Tai Li’s back in the moonlight at the gourd valley. The more he thought about it, the more embarrassed he felt.
He must not use such a foolish method again.
“Witch, Shan Pu and the others have hunted a wild boar. Do you want to come and see?” Xia Cao walked in and asked.
Lu Yu came back to his senses and stood up. “Okay.” He walked out with Xia Cao.
On the open space in the center of the village, there was a black-haired wild boar with its tongue sticking out and its eyes rolled up.
Lu Yu furrowed his brows, walked over, and said seriously, “Shan Pu, do you remember that I told you to not kill the wild beasts directly?”
He hadn’t gone out with the hunting team these two days because although everything here was good, the only downside was that it was a bit far from where the large wild animals lived, and he couldn’t run there at all.
So he let the hunting team catch the wild animals and bring them back still breathing, and then he would inspect and kill them.
Shan Pu was arguing with others. When he heard the witch’s words, he stopped abruptly, scratching his head in embarrassment. “Sorry, Witch, I forgot.”
Before going hunting, he suddenly become excited and he accidentally killed it like how they hunted before.
Lu Yu looked at him with a pained expression and comfortingly smiled, “It’s okay, just remember next time…”
Before he could finish, he was interrupted.
“Shan Pu, accept punishment,” Tai Li said sternly.
Shan Pu didn’t hesitate and said, “Yes!”
After speaking, he grabbed a pig leg, dragged it to the corner, and handled it by himself without anyone’s help.
This was originally a task for four people, but now it was all up to him.
Tai Li frowned, and Lu Yu explained, “If someone did something wrong, they should be punished.”
Lu Yu looked enlightened, “Oh.”
Yes, to unite the tribe, there must be fair rules.
Wait, why did Tai Li explain to him? Weren’t these things all up to him to decide…
Lu Yu scratched his head in confusion.
In the evening, Lu Yu made charcoal-grilled pork belly.
This kind of black-haired wild boar had fat and lean meat, and it was fragrant and chewy to eat.
There was enough for each Matai person to have a hearty meal. But Lu Yu’s ability was limited, so he was only responsible for grilling a part of it and giving each Matai person a portion.
Shan Pu had made a deal with Lian Shun earlier; if he could hunt in the farthest place, Lian Shun should exchange the meat grilled by Witch to him.
“Quick, give it to me,” Shan Pu said happily.
Lian Shun suddenly regretted a bit; Witch’s grilled meat was really delicious. But since he had already agreed, he couldn’t back out. “Here. I’ll give it to you.”
Shan Pu had already stuffed his own portion into his stomach, but he didn’t feel satisfied at all. He took the meat handed over by Lian Shun and couldn’t wait to take a bite.
Lian Shun looked at him eagerly, swallowing his saliva.
Shan Pu paused, gritted his teeth, tore off a big piece of meat, and stuffed it into Lian Shun mouth. “Hurry up and leave.”
Lian Shun chewed on his mouthful, patted his shoulder, and said with a smile, “Good brother.”

Passing by, Lu Yu saw this scene and suddenly got inspired.
Feeding each other, that should count as an intimate act, right?
And there’s no need for physical contact.
It can also enhance the relationship between brothers.
It’s just perfect, isn’t it?
But, it seems a bit embarrassing…
But for the sake of favorability, what’s to be ashamed to!
After a series of mental activities, Lu Yu encouraged himself and ran to the barbecue rack, picked the best-grilled meat, cut off a piece, and ran to Tai Li’s side.
“King, have some meat,” Lu Yu held up the meat.
Tai Li nodded slightly and reached out to take it.
