In the early morning, Su Bai slowly opened his black eyes, silently calling for the System to check in and requesting to open the Assistance Package.
[Ding! Congratulations Host, check in successful!]
[Ding! Congratulations Host has received Low Grade Assistance: one pack of fishhooks.]
Su Bai looked at the pack of fishhooks that appeared out of thin air in his hand and wondered, [Well, this will be useful, just not useful right now.]
However, the appearance of this pack of fishhooks further strengthened his determination to reclaim the Ancestral Land. After all, there was a large river in the Ancestral Land, and the Tribe could definitely catch some fish there.
“Shaman, you’re awake? I’ve cooked some Wolf Tail Grass Noodles for you. You can eat after brushing your teeth.” Yu Ying’s soft voice sounded from beside the fire pit.
Su Bai stretched and sat up, asking, “You cooked noodles?”
“Yes, I wanted to try again. I’m afraid I’ll forget how to do it…” Yu Ying said gently. She had been keeping the method of making Wolf Tail Grass Noodles in her mind lately, truly afraid of forgetting it. Still, she actually recalled every step with exceptional clarity.
“Hahaha… If you forget, you can ask me. I’m here, aren’t I?” Su Bai heartily chuckled.
The fox eared girl was as kind-hearted and thoughtful as always, not daring to trouble Su Bai with many things, figuring them out on her own if possible.
“Alright, have you eaten?” Su Bai walked to the fire pit.
Yu Ying’s stomach started to growl. She laughed embarrassedly and said, “I haven’t eaten yet.”
“Then, let’s eat together.” After brushing his teeth, Su Bai asked, “By the way, where did we put the Ocean Lily Fruit from last time?”
“It’s in an Animal Hide Bag. Do you want it? I’ll get it for you.” Yu Ying stood up and asked.
“Yeah, bring a few over.” Su Bai said. He had almost forgotten about this thing, only remembering it when he was drinking water just now.
“Okay.” Yu Ying immediately went to get it.
Su Bai took the Ocean Lily Fruit, cut it in half with a Fruit Knife, and squeezed the fruit flesh into a cup. He swirled the cup in his hand, took a sip, and commented, “Hmm… it actually tastes quite good. Tastes exactly like Passion Fruit.”
He just felt that drinking water every day was too bland, and he needed to drink something different. So, he recalled the Ocean Lily Fruit, which he had not tried since bringing it back.
“Passion Fruit?” Yu Ying pouted, tilting her head and asked, “Shaman, is it delicious?”
“Try it for yourself. It tastes exactly the same as Ocean Lily Fruit. Both are delicious.” Su Bai handed the cup over.
“Ah!” Yu Ying was a bit at a loss, looking at the cup in Su Bai’s hand, stammering, “I… can I really drink it?”
She saw Su Bai had drank from this cup, so she was afraid to drink from it.
“Huh? What’s wrong? Don’t want to try?” Su Bai raised an eyebrow.
“I’ll drink, I’ll drink.” Yu Ying hurriedly took the cup and took a sip. However, she immediately lowered her head after drinking, face completely red, thinking to herself, [Does… does this count as kissing the Shaman?]
Su Bai saw her blushing face and how tightly she was gripping the cup, He immediately understood why.
He smiled and shook his head, not expecting that his unintentional action had excited the fox eared girl this much.
“How is it? Tasty?” Su Bai smiled and asked.
Yu Ying cupped her burning cheeks and nodded vigorously, “En, it’s delicious, sour and a bit sweet.”
“Good, you can drink some every day. It’s good for your health.” Su Bai said.
“Shaman, does drinking this increase my strength?” Yu Ying looked at him expectantly.
Su Bai’s mouth twitched as he explained, “The main benefits aren’t shown in that aspect.”
Yu Ying’s innocent eyes kept looking at Su Bai, waiting for an explanation.
“Eating more Ocean Lily Fruit can help you sleep better, and it also has some soothing effects.” Su Bai explained.
In fact, the main benefits of this fruit, if it was like the Passion Fruit, would be treating insomnia, inducing natural sleep and deep sleep, as well as relieving headaches, dizziness, and other effects. It also helps to relieve anxiety, tension, depression, nervousness-induced headaches, frequent urination, palpitations, and many other various benefits.
In this primitive era without medication, it can be considered a medicinal food. It would definitely be good to eat more.
Yu Ying was a bit confused after listening to this. After all, she did not have trouble sleeping, so naturally, she did not understand the pain of insomnia. Nevertheless, she nodded, still uncertain, and said, “Then Shaman, you should drink more. You sleep quite late every day.”
“Alright. By the way, next time after eating Ocean Lily Fruit, don’t throw away the peels. Keep them.” Su Bai added.
“Keep them?” Yu Ying tilted her head and curiously asked, “Shaman, the peels can’t be eaten. Do you want to keep them to make Shaman Bone Tablets?”
The only thing she could think of was Shaman Bone Tablets. Every day, she could see Su Bai making Shaman Bone Tablets, or creating some strange things she had never seen before.
“No, it can be used for cooking. It’s delicious as well.” Su Bai explained. In fact, his biggest idea was to use it to make alcohol. After all, there was sadly no alcohol in this era. Thus, alcohol could be a major specialty product of the Tribe, which could be traded with other Tribes for goods.
“With this thing, we can try to improve our meal later.” Su Bai smiled.
The innocent Yu Ying looked bewildered, just nodding silently and agreeing. “Okay.”
“Make a cup for Ah’Hua later. She’ll probably want to drink it after training.” Su Bai gently said.
“Yes, Ah’Hua will definitely like it too.” Yu Ying said with a smile.
