Su Bai contained his excitement, enthusiastically thinking, [Growth Acceleration Skill? What a true blessing! This is basically giving me rain when in a drought!]
He had been worried about how the sweet potato at the Tribe’s main gate had suddenly slowed in growth. With this, that issue is no more! With this Growth Acceleration Skill, the growth speed of the sweet potato would definitely greatly increase.
If the growth speed was really fast, then there would be nothing to worry about. However, this Growth Acceleration Skill needed to be tested properly.
Su Bai contained his excitement and had the System open the final package. [Man, this feeling of opening so many packages at once is truly to die for.].
[Ding! Congratulations Host on receiving Low Grade Assistance: one grapevine sapling.]
Su Bai played with the grapevine on the table, raising his eyebrows slightly, “A grapevine?”
This was also a good item. After all, in this primitive age he had not found any grapes.
Now, with a grapevine sapling, when it produces grapes later, they could be put to great use.
Grapes had very high nutritional value, and could be made into raisins, wine, and so on. There was no alcohol in this era, so if they could make wine, it would be a major breakthrough.
If they could first introduce everyone’s palate to grape wine, over time, they would be more accepting of stronger alcohol.
Su Bai would eventually promote alcohol. It was an item that could bring great benefits to the Tribe. Other than the draw back of people needing self-control, it was an essential item for other products like sanitizer to kill germs and more.
“Shaman, I’m back.” Yu Ying ran happily into the wooden house, having herded all the cattle and sheep into their respective areas.
While herding them, she had been quite surprised. She had not expected these beasts to be so obedient.
Just standing there, they were all already taller than her. Yet they were as obedient as could be.
Su Bai saw how happy the fox eared girl was and asked. “Did you get all the cattle and sheep to their own little area?”
“Yes, they’re all in. They’re so well-behaved! Are they really beasts from the Hunting Ground?” Yu Ying asked in surprise.
“Haha… I used a Shaman Technique on them, just like with Rolly. No need to worry about them harming anyone.” Su Bai laughed heartily.
Since those cattle and sheep had entered the Tribe, everyone had the same curious look. Everyone had thought such huge beasts would surely be fierce, so they kept their distance.
However, after seeing them being nothing like what they had imagined, all too docile, the people gradually started to accept them.
They still kept their distance though. After all, these beasts all had horns on their heads, horns that could disembowel a person if they gored them. They had initially all prepared for these beasts to charge at them, but they were greatly surprised that these beasts did not even look their way.
“So that’s how it is, I was wondering what was going on with them.” Yu Ying had previously only seen beasts of this size dead, which were the Ferocious Beasts the Hunting Team brought back. Seeing such docile beasts this time was quite unexpected, though she was grateful for their gentleness.
“Just prepare some grass for them to eat, they don’t need anything else.” Su Bai instructed.
“They just need to eat grass? Don’t they need meat? Looking at their size, shouldn’t they all eat meat?” Yu Ying asked in shock.
The fox eared girl was both shocked and confused to hear that such large beasts from the Hunting Ground would eat grass.
“Yes, they don’t need meat at all. Grass is more than enough.” Su Bai smiled.
“I understand,” Yu Ying was still surprised, and continued, “Shaman, what are those things?”
The fox eared girl had noticed the strange things on the table, though she was not too surprised anymore, as she often saw such things.
“These? Just some useless items.” Su Bai handed the Vitamin C tablets to Yu Ying.
Of all the packages opened today, these Vitamin C tablets were the most useless. In this primitive age, there were many ways to get vitamins. Having these Vitamin C tablets now was truly pointless.
“Useless items?” Yu Ying curiously played with the Vitamin C tablets, smelling them.
“Let’s go plant some grapes.” Su Bai smiled and picked up the grapevine sapling.
Besides planting this grapevine sapling, he wanted to test the power of the Growth Acceleration Skill.
“Grapes? What are grapes?” Yu Ying curiously asked.
“A kind of berry, it is also delicious.” Su Bai smiled, leading the way out of the wooden house toward the Tribe’s main gate.
Though Yu Ying looked confused, she still ran after him, placing the Vitamin C tablets back on the table.
Su Bai arrived at the main gate, looking at the messy sweet potato vines, raising his eyebrows. “They haven’t grown.”
Those sweet potatoes looked the same as when he last saw them, showing no growth, completely different from when they were planted in the old area.
At the Tribe main gate, they had started building greenhouses, preparing for the rainy season and snow season.
The construction speed was not slow. After several days, there was already a rough shape of the greenhouses forming.
In another ten days or so it would be complete, plus when Su Bai and the others went deep into the Hunting Ground, they had caught many Smooth Skin Lizards.
The people of the Tribe were now skinning them, preparing to use the Smooth Skin Lizard Hide for the greenhouses’ roof.
“Yes, Shaman, in all the time you’ve been gone, these sweet potatoes haven’t grown at all. I was worried they might be dead.” Yu Ying said with concern.
The fox eared girl had spent a lot of time watching over them, looking left and right for ages. She had resisted the urge to pull them up. In fact, if they were not still green, she really would have thought they were dead.
Su Bai bent down to examine the sweet potatoes, finding they were growing adequately, just very slowly.
He reached down and pulled up one sweet potato plant, wanting to see how they looked now. This was to determine if only the external appearance of growth was slow while the growth underground might be faster.
