Zhu Yuanyuan actually didn't care whether the meat was sent or not. After all, the tribe was still under public ownership. Every time the hunting team came back, the big witch could get fresh meat.
The master was away, so she was designated to take over temporarily, so the portion of meat would naturally belong to her.
Of course, if she had something to ask Uncle Yuan to take over, she would not part with the meat that was shared that day.
Just treat it as a temporary worker. You can only get paid if you work. If you don't work, you can't accept it.
As for the thank-you gifts she received after treating illnesses and saving lives, she would accept them if she was willing to give them.
Zhu Yuanyuan didn't take it to heart, but she didn't expect that Tu Bei actually sent a small piece of meat the next day, weighing less than two kilograms. After delivering the meat, he refused to leave, saying that he wanted to stay and help.
"The little wizard is very busy every day. It just so happens that I have nothing to do these days, so I can stay here and help," Tu Bei said with an honest smile. "Don't worry, I'm very smart and quick with my hands and feet. I can learn anything quickly."
"Don't bother, I'm busy enough," Zhu Yuanyuan declined. "Uncle Yuan is still there, but the hunting team and planting team need people more."
Tu Bei just pretended not to understand, but still said cheerfully, "Uncle Yuan is busy growing some medicinal materials, so he doesn't have time to come here often. I am young and have no companions to take care of, so I have plenty of time."
Zhu Yuanyuan's face turned dull, "If I say no, I won't. Come on, unless you can't understand human language?"
She was a little depressed. She specifically emphasized that she didn't have a partner, and even said that she would come to help from time to time. It was already obvious what she meant.
I really didn’t expect that she would end up with a bad peach blossom just after her coming-of-age ceremony.
Tu Bei's attentiveness failed, and his face couldn't help but look a little ugly. He wanted to throw away his hands and leave, but he was a little unwilling to do so. He forced a stiff smile and said, "I'm just worried that you will be tired. I don't mean anything else."
"I'm not tired," Zhu Yuanyuan refused bluntly. "Even if I am really tired, my family will help me. There is no need to look for outsiders."
Having said all that, Tu Bei had no choice but to leave in despair. He was unwilling to leave. After going out, he looked back several times. He didn't hear any words of condolence for a long time, so he reluctantly left.
Zhu Yuanyuan breathed a sigh of relief and said to herself, "I finally left. I hope you don't wander around in front of me in the future, otherwise I won't be able to bear it."
She was not a genius in her past life, but her bad temper has not changed. If someone really messes with her, if she can't be beaten, she will do it herself. If she can't, she will complain to her family.
Just now, Tu Bei listened to the advice and didn't argue too much, otherwise she really wouldn't be able to suppress the ancient power in her body.
After the trouble subsided, Zhu Yuanyuan was in the mood to summon the system panel to check the daily tasks refreshed in the early morning:
Collect 0/10 weeds, reward 10 star coins
Collect 0/10 wild fruits, reward 10 star coins
Hunt 0/10 rat beasts, reward 300 star coins
Catch 0/10 freshwater fish, reward 500 star coins
Catch 0/10 mutated lobsters, reward 500 star coins
The tasks are not heavy, but the last three are more time-consuming. You can't take time off every day, so you have to do them at noon when everyone is eating.
Zhu Yuanyuan made a plan and first completed the task of collecting wild grass in the valley. Wild fruits and rats and beasts can only be found when they come out of the valley, so they have to be done at noon. The last two tasks are a bit troublesome.
Fishing and catching shrimps depends on luck. If there are shrimps in the river, there is nothing wrong with spending some effort to catch them, but if there are none in the river...
"Tongzi Tongzi," Zhu Yuanyuan called eagerly with her consciousness, "The daily refresh tasks should be something I can do. Is there anything that can't be completed?"
The reply was a serious and cold mechanical voice, "Please call me Aotian."
Zhu Yuanyuan held her forehead and said, "You are quite stubborn. If you say you want to change your name, you will change it. You don't even want the previous name."
"Of course, if I don't change, how can I gain a foothold in Tongzi world in the future?" Tong Aotian asked.
"Okay," Zhu Yuanyuan sighed, and discussed in a good voice, "It's hard to pronounce your name now, why don't you just use Tongzi as your nickname?"
Tong Aotian coldly refused, "No, I just have a name."
Zhu Yuanyuan was helpless
He sighed and chose to compromise again, "Forget it, just be Aotian. It's good to get used to it. By the way, where were we talking about just now?"
"You asked me if I can complete my daily tasks," Tong Aotian reminded.
Zhu Yuanyuan nodded, "I just wanted to ask. This shouldn't be something that needs to be kept secret."
Tong Aotian said coldly, "Yes, the tasks released by the system are within the host's capabilities. If it cannot be completed, it means there is a bug in the task."
"Oh," Zhu Yuanyuan pursed her lips and smiled sweetly, "Is there any compensation?"
"What kind of compensation?" Tong Aotian didn't react for a moment.
"Of course it's compensation for the bug," Zhu Yuanyuan said confidently.
Tong Aotian felt that he had been fooled, "Today's tasks are all within your ability, and there is no problem. I'm afraid you just want to be lazy and not do the tasks, deliberately looking for trouble."
"I'm not, I didn't," Zhu Yuanyuan denied to Erlian, "It's just that the two tasks are not certain. What if there are no fish caught in the river, let alone mutated lobsters?"
"Have you ever caught the host?" Tong Aotian asked.
"No," Zhu Yuanyuan said sternly without feeling embarrassed, "but I often row boats across the river and have never seen fish in the water, let alone lobsters."
Even if there were, they were just passing by and they would definitely not be caught.
So the last two tasks were to deliberately embarrass her and not take the opportunity to ask for compensation (benefits). Thank you!
Tong Aotian, "Would you like to check the information first to see if there are any lobsters in the river?"
"No, it's a waste of star coins to look up information." Zhu Yuanyuan just wanted to close her pockets and let the star coins accumulate.
It’s not that she is stingy, it’s just that she can’t help but spend the star coins, and the things she likes are extremely expensive. If she wants to own them, she must increase income, reduce expenses, and save money hard.
Tong Aotian couldn't help it anymore, "I don't want you to give out the star coins this time, I'll let you see."
In order to save the reputation of being murdered, Tongzi made a rare act of generosity and found information related to lobsters and shared them with the host for free. He seriously warned, "Take a good look, don't worry, and tell me if you don't understand anything."
Even if it is a loss-making business, it must be perfect.
Zhu Yuanyuan agreed, "Okay, no problem."
She took the time to browse the information, paying special attention to where lobsters could be found along the river, so that she could locate the target as quickly as possible.
Soon, Zhu Yuanyuan remembered the lobster-related information in her heart, turned around to sort out the tools to be used, and then made a plan, trying to complete the daily routine in the shortest time and get the reward.
I hope the master can return soon so that she can have more time to earn, or rather, do tasks.
I have to say that doing tasks with a plan is really efficient. I worked as usual in the morning, had a full meal at noon and went out to the valley. I quickly completed the first three tasks and submitted them. Then I searched the river bank and caught ten in less than a quarter of an hour. Mutated lobster.
At this point, only the fishing task remains.
Zhu Yuanyuan made a simple fishing rod, endured her nausea and dug up some earthworms to use as bait, then returned to the valley and started fishing at the river closest to her home.
There is no requirement for the substitute to stay in the master's cave, as long as she can see someone at the door as soon as possible.
