"Congratulations~ Congratulations~" Lavia congratulated Ming with a fist and palm salute while looking up at the giant bear standing behind him, sighing that it was an unbreakable wall, thick and tall.
"Thank you~ Thank you~" Ming's eyes narrowed into slits with his smile.
To be honest, he was really happy. With a power attribute of 700 and room for growth, as well as exclusive skills and talents that were awakening, he was indeed delighted.
Hehe~
However, Ming didn't know why the giant bear was holding his hand all the time.
Why? Was it because he could provide a sense of security for the bear?
"Gutmann, I have a favor to ask of you," Desmond said with a somewhat embarrassed smile.
"Go ahead."
"Ever since I was a child, I had a dream to at least touch a bear once..."
"No way."
"..."
"Don't overthink it. I just tamed it, and the control is not stable. I need to communicate with it for a while. You can wait."
5 seconds later, the giant bear lifted its huge paw and rubbed Desmond's head...
He stood there in silence, thinking that it was fine, as it still counted as fulfilling his childhood wish was been touched by the bear.
Ming was a bit troubled, wondering what to name the giant bear.
A gentle giant brown bear... He had an idea!
"From now on, you'll be called Little Bear~" Ming took out a fish, rubbed the giant bear's lowered head, and placed the fish in the bear's paw. After entering Ming's home, Little Bear had to learn to eat by himself. After all, the master's hand was now only one, and it had to take on more responsibilities.
[Your froglets stared at Little Bear, telling it that it could enter our door thanks to their efforts to plead for it... Ming was usually cold-blooded, so the froglets wanted Little Bear to show some gratitude to them... Little Bear stretched out its tongue, licked the fish, and half of the fish's body was gone... It looked at the two froglets...]
[Your froglets looked at each other and stepped back, ...]
3 minutes later, Ming and the other two started a carpet search, 20 meters apart from each other, looking for the water elemental stones in this area. The reason they stayed together was that people from other districts could arrive at any time, and it was impossible to ensure that everyone would be friendly. If troublemakers appeared, they could fight together.
Ming believed there was no need for killing; capturing people to use as labor could work. They should learn to make full and rational use of resources, of course, on the premise that people volunteered to be laborers, never forcing anyone.
The froglets and Little Pink served as scouts up front, moving together in harmony. The giant bear followed Ming closely, still holding his hand, and licking the fish skewers he had prepared, with various flavors like sweet and sour, spicy, and soy sauce.
"Come and take a look!" At this moment, Lavia called out loudly, standing next to a stone wall. Ming immediately ran over, with Little Bear following closely behind, still holding his hand.
"Look." Desmond opened his palm, revealing a water elemental stone the size of a marble, and pointed to the stone wall, which was full of holes the size of marbles and eggs. "I just dug this one out of the wall, but there's only one. It seems someone has already been here before us and dug out all the water elemental stones. No wonder we haven't found much for so long; someone got here before us."
"Yeah, it seems our luck isn't great, and we came to an area that's already been searched," Lavia said, looking at the various-sized holes on the stone wall, the excitement from earlier gone.
"Yeah." Ming nodded, agreeing that it was pointless to stay here any longer. It was time to go home.
Back at the tent, Lavia quickly copied the books.
The three of them exchanged food again, as the current situation made them realize that food was still the most important thing.
Ming took out coconuts and fish, as these two items were the most abundant, and exchanged them with Lavia for some seasonings. Desmond took out monkey carcasses and exchanged them with Lavia for meat rolls.
After the exchange, Desmond stood outside the tent and said with a fist salute, "Brothers, I have to go. I need to continue searching for resources in other areas to help build our well city quickly. If we're lucky enough to meet again in the future, we must have a few drinks together. Take care, my friends."
"Alright, take care." Ming and Lavia nodded simultaneously.
A beam of white light fell, and Desmond disappeared from the spot.
"I should leave too. I hope we'll meet again in the future. Stay alive." Lavia bowed solemnly and looked at his own Little Pink, "Little Pink, it's time for us to go."
[The froglets and Little Pink said their goodbyes... Foodie told Little Pink not to care about others' opinions because it was the best. If they don't shut up, just fart and kill them...]
[Da Vinci patted Little Pink's hoof, reminding it to find its master if it couldn't win a fight, and if the master couldn't win, to remember the enemy's appearance, so the brothers could take revenge later... Little Pink licked the two froglets...]
[The froglets watched as Little Pink returned to its master... As the white light fell... Little Pink disappeared... The froglets stared blankly at the bare ground... feeling a bit cold~]
"..."
Ming looked at the two froglets, not expecting these two simple-minded creatures to have such rich emotions.
Come, let me comfort you guys...
[The froglets suddenly felt very cold, seeing your outstretched hand, they leaped over and bounced in front of Little Bear... Bear, cold, hug...]
[The froglets burrowed into Little Bear's warm embrace, looking at you... They felt that your pockets could no longer satisfy them, and this was not their problem, but because you ... Da Vinci told Little Bear to just hug them, not lick...]
"..."
Ming straightened up, clapped his hands, and interrupted the magic tent skill, also preparing to go home.
[The froglets and Little Bear engaged in a mysterious conversation, telling you that Little Bear wanted to take you home and had a gift for you...]
[Foodie sniffed the scent of Little Bear... This smell was a bit strange...]
Ming rode Little Bear in the chilly wind. When he felt cold, he would lie down on Little Bear's broad back, a natural large bed made of smooth fur, feeling the warmth of Little Bear's body. It was quite warm.
Sniff sniff~
A primitive scent of nature, while the froglets lay on the fur on the back of Little Bear's neck, closing their eyes and sleeping.
Half an hour later, Little Bear entered a hidden cave. The entrance was just wide enough for it to pass through on all fours, but the inside was very spacious.
Roar~
Little Bear let out a low growl, and Ming jumped off its back onto the ground. To his astonishment, the ground was very clean and smooth, with no animal bones. It seemed that this fellow was quite tidy.
Little Bear gestured in a direction with its head. Ming walked over and saw a small dirt pit filled with shimmering, water-blue stones.
Water elemental stones!
After counting, there were 200 units. Unexpectedly, all the water elemental stones in the entire area had been brought to Little Bear's den. Ming patted Little Bear, which was squatting on the ground.
Good boy, he thought, today was truly a good day.
