Wang Jianguo nodded:

"At first, the sea creatures always gave us some strange things, like this, but they were useless to us."

"It's too small to hunt wild animals, it can't be eaten, and it can't be used to hold food and water, so we told the sea creatures that we needed something usable."

"Later, the sea creatures gave us some clothes, utensils and the like."

Chapter 186 It Won't Go Out Even When It Rains

Upon hearing this, Su Che was utterly speechless.

"You mean, at the beginning, the sea creatures gave you a lot of these things?!"

"Yes."

Wang Jianguo said.

Su Che took a deep breath and asked again:

"So, you don't want it?!"

Wang Jianguo could tell that Su Che's tone seemed a little off, and he nodded cautiously:

"Yes...excuse me...what is this thing? Is it...more important than those clothes and shoes?"

Su Che felt a mixture of anger and amusement:

"This is far more important than your tattered clothes and shoes! This is something of extremely high civilization!"

Wang Jianguo felt a jolt in his heart:

"Is this something with a very high level of civilization? I don't know... what is this?"

Su Che looked at the cylindrical object in his hand.

He fiddled with the switch and said with a hint of ecstasy:

"870" "This thing is called a flashlight! I don't know if the inside is working properly."

As he spoke, he directly disassembled the battery compartment to look inside.

However, it was empty inside.

Moreover, you can tell from the outside that it's covered in rust, so it must have been stored for a long time!

"This flashlight must have been sitting for a long time. Even if you put batteries in it, it probably won't be very effective."

"What about the others?"

Wang Jianguo was taken aback:

"other things?"

Su Che nodded, his face full of surprise:

"Yes! Didn't you say that the sea creatures gave you a lot of these things at the beginning?"

"This one might be broken, but surely some of them are still working?"

"These things that have been stored away seem like trash, but the clothes you're wearing are all intact. The sea creatures must have at least given you something useful, right?"

"So... where did you put the things the sea creatures gave you in the first place?"

Su Che was almost desperate to know!

The level of civilization among the Huaxia tribes is not considered high at present!

The knowledge simply taught the clansmen concepts such as time, barter, cement, farming, and weaving.

As for flashlights, lamps, steam engines, and even more advanced things, they haven't appeared yet.

They haven't even figured out how to generate electricity yet.

Not to mention the battery!

Looking at Su Che's expectant eyes, Wang Jianguo said with a hint of helplessness;

"We thought those things were useless, so we let the sea creatures take them back, and then we exchanged them for some useful things."

These words were like a bolt from the blue for Su Che!

Using a flashlight, something of high civility, to exchange for clothes, shoes, and socks, something of low civility!

Su Che felt like he was about to have a brain hemorrhage!

But looking at Wang Jianguo in front of him...

The bull-type orc's anger subsided instantly!

The person standing before him was an orc, not a human.

It's perfectly normal that they don't know what a flashlight is; there's no need to be surprised at all!

It's somewhat speechless!

but……

I understand!

Su Che took a few deep breaths and said with a smile:

"You guys are so adorably stupid!"

"Next time you need to change things, remember not to change those clothes and shoes again!"

"Change to this kind of thing! It may seem useless, but it's actually very useful!"

As he spoke, Su Che stood up and grabbed the flashlight in his hand.

"Just how many human artifacts have these sea creatures stored up? Could there be a human kingdom on the seabed?"

"Or rather, has the entire human world sunk to the bottom of the sea?"

"Could this underwater world be a world of skyscrapers?"

"Maybe they'll even have cars!"

Listening to Su Che's soft murmurs, Wang Jianguo and the others didn't understand what he was saying!

but……

They realized something!

That means a large amount of resources were used.

But we didn't get anything useful in return!

Wang Jianguo quickly caught up with Su Che and asked:

"Sir! What you just said means that this thing is more important than those things? But what is the use of this thing?"

Su Che asked as he walked:

Does your tribe lack fire?

Wang Jianguo shook his head:

“We don’t lack sparks; we have ways to generate sparks and preserve sparks.”

Su Che continued walking forward and said:

"You must use fire to cook food and light up the night, right?"

Wang Jianguo nodded:

"Yes, at night, we light fires to keep wild animals away, and it also helps us see better at night."

Su Che smiled at this moment:

"But the fire will go out when it rains! And someone needs to watch over it all the time!"

"A flashlight, as long as it has batteries, can stay lit for a long time, and it won't go out even when it rains!"

"Although it can't be used as food, it's very easy to use it to light up the environment around the tribe!"

Wang Jianguo felt utterly amazed:

"It doesn't go out even when it rains? This thing is that amazing?"

Su Che chuckled:

"This thing is just a very, very small thing. The sea creatures definitely have things with a higher level of civilization!"

After that, Su Che didn't say another word!

He certainly can't go underwater now to explore what kind of world the sea creatures live in.

but……

Su Che made a decision in secret.

I need to refine that gem into something that will allow me to stay at the bottom of the sea for a long time as soon as possible.

He needs to find out what's on the seabed!

We need to figure this out at least before the sea level starts to sink!
