Chapter 56: 56 comes from the Ancient Plane search
Ye Jiu had a hard time explaining to the person on the other side what a plane trade was, and he also found out that the other side was not just the Ancient Plane, but also a Beastman’s world.
He went by the name Cha, a wandering Beastman without a tribe, who got injured while hunting prey. He accidentally dripped blood onto a beautiful stone he’d picked up, then a trading interface appeared before him. By a twist of fate, he tapped on a video request and was startled to see Ye Jiu, even mistaking him for a deity.
Because Cha was quite naive, Ye Jiu easily got him talking. Cha’s plane trading device was different from Ye Jiu’s, which existed within his mind—if there had to be a carrier, then it was himself.
Cha’s device, however, existed within a stone; only by wearing the stone could he control the plane trading device.
That is to say, if Cha carelessly lost this stone, then he would likewise lose the plane trading device.
Ye Jiu felt quite relieved, thinking that having it in his mind was better. Others couldn’t see or touch it, so naturally, he wasn’t afraid of losing it.
Moreover, his trading device had a large space for storing items in addition to the storage compartments, which Cha didn’t have. He could only store things in the storage compartments.
It was Ye Jiu’s first time learning that each person’s plane trading device was different!
Ye Jiu spent half a day teaching Cha how to use the plane trading device and, in turn, gained his gratitude.
Actually, this information was all introduced on the plane trading device itself, but Cha couldn’t read, and being inexperienced, he revered this high-tech object like something divine, hence his confusion about how to operate it.
Since the video had been activated, the two could communicate through conversation.
Cha shyly scratched his head and asked Ye Jiu, “I don’t have anything right now, just a wild beast I just caught. I don’t know what I can exchange with you?”
That meant meat, which piqued Ye Jiu’s interest.
Although he had bought meat and bones today, the meat was intended to be cured for the New Year’s feast, and as for the bones, since there were steamed buns to eat tonight, Mrs. He had ordered that they be eaten tomorrow.
At this moment, thinking of the taste of meat, Ye Jiu felt his mouth starting to water.
Pondering, Ye Jiu figured that since it was the Ancient Beastman Plane and based on his experience from novels he had once read, the people of this plane likely lived by hunting, meaning meat was plentiful. Since there were many wild animals, plants must also be abundant.
Conversely, as the Ancient Plane hadn’t begun to develop, their quality of life—including clothing, housing, and transportation, as well as items like weapons—probably wasn’t great. He could consider trading in these areas.
After some thought, Ye Jiu said, “I have many items that you probably have never seen before. Since you hunt, you must not be short of food. I have clothes, weapons, and even medicine that can treat injuries.”
When Ye Jiu mentioned clothes and weapons, Cha didn’t react much, but as soon as he mentioned medicine, he noticed a glint in Cha’s eyes. Then, looking at Ye Jiu excitedly, he asked, “You… are you a witch doctor?”
Ye Jiu took a moment to understand what he meant by witch doctor.
However, Ye Jiu didn’t rush to refute, but instead said, “I’m not a witch doctor, just someone with medicine that can heal wounds and sickness.”
Seeing the injury on Cha’s body, Ye Jiu understood why he was so excited. A wandering Beastman was probably one not accepted by a tribe. Though Ye Jiu didn’t understand why he wasn’t accepted, it was undeniable that people are social creatures, and being alone would surely be difficult for him.
