Xiao Xi didn’t even get a chance to finish speaking when Ruan Chanchan reached out and clasped his ball like head in her hands. She pulled his face in opposite directions, causing quite a distortion in his appearance.
"You bastard. Where did you go last night, huh?" Ruan Chanchan asked angrily. Did this thing have the slightest bit of an idea how worried she was since last night? She thought that this system had left her all alone, and now she was left alone in the wide beast world. The thoughts that had tormented her last night were so terrifying that she nearly fainted.
Maybe it would have been better if she had fainted; at least that way, she would have been able to sleep properly. But no! Because she was worried out of her mind, she didn’t sleep a wink, and when she woke up, she was about to go crazy because even in the morning, she couldn’t summon Xiao Xi.
To make things problematic, Ruan Zeqiu thought that she was thinking about Xie Daiyu, which further complicated things.
"Ai–vent to gwet you the moost suitable rewardddd," Xiao Xi drawled out with his face getting stretched. Ruan Chanchan couldn’t understand what he was saying, so she let go of him and asked, "What did you say?"
"I said that I went to get you the most suitable reward," Xiao Xi winced. Even though he was a system, he was a really high-tech system. He was designed in such a way that he could even feel human emotions; thus, he was easily able to feel the pain one would feel with their cheeks pulled to the extreme. It was a pity that he couldn’t rub his cheeks. He said in a low voice, "Darling worked hard yesterday, but the reward that the main system gave was not good enough. So I went to fight for you, darling. We cannot allow the main system to bully us, can we?"
When Ruan Chanchan realised that Xiao Xi had actually worked hard for her, she felt a bit guilty. She reached out and patted the system on the head before turning to look at the screen in front of her. She carefully looked at the rewards that she had gotten before her eyes fixated on the skill that she had awakened.
She asked, "What does this feature do?"
"I am glad that you asked, Darling," said Xiao Xi as he proudly puffed his cheeks and then floated over to the screen before tapping on the skill and attribute panels.
[Attribute panel: Host: Ruan Chanchan]
[Strength: 0.6 (human)]
[Stamina: 0.5 (Human)]
[Speed: 0.9 (Human)]
[Mental Energy: 1 (Human)]
[Profession: Supermarket owner]
[Skills: Heal (Level 1)]
[Heal: Select Course and Efficiency.]
Underneath that, there were like seven to eight images of multiple people displayed. Ruan Chanchan stared at the pictures and then turned to look at Xiao Xi before asking, "What is the meaning of this?"
"These are the courses that you can take. As long as you can learn these basic skills, you will be no worse than a miracle doctor." Xiao Xi was quite proud of being able to get this package from the main system. He had to barter for a long time before he could make the main system understand that he was not asking for anything wrong.
First of all, this world was on the verge of collapse; only by teaching these primitive beastmen about hygiene and health could they make this tribe and the other beastmen strong enough to survive all kinds of small illnesses.
Secondly, if his host was not skilled, then what could she do with just a small supermarket? It was one thing to teach the beastmen how to farm and raise livestock. But Ruan Chanchan could only do that when these beastmen stayed alive for that long. If they cannot even stay alive, to whom would Ruan Chanchan teach how to farm and live like humans?
For this primitive tribe to become a proper society, they needed to first ensure their protection. With their drive for hunting, Ruan Chanchan needed to learn at least some basic treatment. At least she should know how to perform suturing.
"You mean to say that I need to learn medical skills as well?" Ruan Chanchan asked with a frown. She thought that she was just supposed to teach these people how to live properly and save this world, but why was she asked to treat these people now?
Xiao Xi clicked his tongue. He explained, "This is not just a simple course. It’s a crash course, like I said. I will allow you to trade skills with others, darling. You can think of watching an extra high-tech lesson and learning everything in one go. Of course, each course would put a toll on your mental energy, but it will come in handy when you need it the most."
"In this primitive era, strength was based on numbers, but due to the poor health conditions and lack of medical resources, many beastmen would die. As long as you can help them maintain their current strength and repopulate their tribe, we can earn many gratitude points."
Ruan Chanchan wanted to say that there was no need. But after thinking about it, she felt a headache. When she woke up in the morning, she had indeed heard quite a lot of noise. From what she summarised, there were many beastmers coming to her cave and demanding that Ruan Zeqiu let Ruan Chanchan treat their children.
Even though Ruan Zeqiu chased them away on the pretext that Ruan Chanchan was still sick, she knew that there she wouldn’t be able to hide for a long time. She would have to step out of the cave in a few days; if that happened, then she would surely have to take a look at all the sick children.
Ruan Chanchan sighed and gave up. It seemed like her days as a salted duck were surely over.
