After dinner, everyone gathered at the table. Hen Yi was lying on a tree in the sun, his tail hanging down causing a group of cubs to flutter. Cheng Mo placed two books on the table and said, "Everyone, what I am going to say next is very important. I hope you can think about it carefully."

Banmu sat beside him and looked at him, listening attentively. The other orcs looked at each other without saying anything. Xiongbai tapped the table lightly to attract everyone's attention: "This matter concerns the development of the tribe. Everyone, pay attention."

Then Xiong Bo motioned Cheng Mo to say the next words, Cheng Mo smiled and said: "I won't say too much nonsense, I just want everyone to learn to read with me."

"It's just to learn characters with Cheng Mo. Everyone should learn to record characters and recognize characters. With characters, it will be less likely for everyone to forget things, and they don't need to rely solely on the high priest to remember." Xiong Bai looked around and saw that everyone's faces were full of confusion, so he explained it again.

When everyone heard how useful literacy was, they all perked up and wanted to learn immediately. Even Hen Yi on the tree looked up. He didn't expect that the female of Banmu's family would have this idea. He also wanted to join in, but he was a male from outside, so no matter how he wanted, he couldn't learn from them.

Xiongtai said directly: "High Priest, you make the decision. I trust your decision."

The other orcs echoed, "High Priest, I believe in you too."

Xiong Bo looked at Cheng Mo with a serious expression: "Then I'll have to trouble you, Xiao Mo, to teach us how to write!"

Cheng Mo nodded: "I have no teaching experience, so if the content is not attractive enough, please tolerate it!" Then Cheng Mo looked up at Hen Yi on the tree and said: "Hen Yi, you should learn with me."

Hen Yi's eyes widened a lot, and he asked directly: "I am not from your tribe, can I still learn?"

Cheng Mo nodded: "Although we are not from the same tribe, the promotion of writing has many benefits. I hope everyone can recognize writing. Although not everyone is required to be able to write, literacy is a must. And if you can teach others after you learn it, that's fine too." At this point, Cheng Mo stood up and looked at the people sitting there: "I hope that after everyone learns it, they will not hide it and let more people know the importance of writing."

The other orcs wanted to say something, but seeing Xiongbai sitting there calmly without saying anything, they also kept silent. Cheng Mo clapped his hands: "Now that we have decided, let's start learning from now on, and everyone must follow suit."

Cheng Mo found an open space and wrote a "one" on the ground with a branch, then explained the meaning and writing method of this word. The other orcs followed suit and learned carefully. Then Cheng Mo wrote a few Arabic numerals and explained them one by one.

The time at noon passed quickly. The orcs with good learning ability could already write Arabic numerals, and those with poor learning ability had also recognized Arabic numerals. Cheng Mo, who understood that haste makes waste, did not force everyone to be able to write. He just made an appointment for the next study time and let everyone do their own things.

At night, Banmu lay on the bed and wrote the words he had learned today in the air with his fingers. He was ready to go to bed only after he was sure that he had learned them all. He turned his head and looked at Cheng Mo and Cheng Lingqu who were already asleep: "Thank you for coming to my side."

The next morning, Cheng Mo went out. He wanted to find a plank or stone to use as a blackboard, preferably a flat one, but he found nothing after wandering around outside for the whole morning. Instead, he found a potato seedling. The small potato seedling was hidden in the grass. If Cheng Mo hadn't fallen in front of it, he wouldn't have found it. Such a small seedling is not suitable for transplanting. Cheng Mo remembered the location and went back. He had to go back to cook before noon.

Cheng Mo had just reached the entrance of the cave when he was stopped by the jubilant Xiongya. Xiongya’s human form had grown a lot taller recently. He held Cheng Mo’s hand and said, “Cheng Mo! Cheng Mo! Go check the fields! The peppers I planted have grown and changed color!”

Cheng Mo was dragged to the field by Xiongya. Xiongya pointed at the peppers that had turned red and said, "Cheng Mo, take a look!"

Cheng Mo squatted down and looked at the plump peppers. The red peppers hanging on the branches were very pleasing to the eye. Cheng Mo smiled and picked a few down: "I'll make you fried peppers and pork tonight!"

Others didn't know what stir-fried pork with peppers was, but they trusted Cheng Mo's cooking skills unconditionally! Everyone cheered, and a few kids watched over the plants they had planted and said, "You have to grow up quickly so I can eat you!" Cheng Mo smiled and prepared to go back to prepare lunch.

"Ding Dong! Main mission three: Teaching the Wolf Fang Tribe to plant, completed!" 079's voice sounded.

"Then do I get any reward?" Cheng Mo asked quickly, fearing that 079 would delay issuing the reward again.

"The third reward for the main quest is now being distributed." Before 079 finished speaking, Cheng Mo immediately held his head in his hands. Sure enough, a book fell from the sky and hit Cheng Mo's hand. Cheng Mo picked up the book from the ground and patted the dirt off it: "Sometimes I really suspect that the way you distribute rewards is actually to kill me, right?"

079 was silent for a while before speaking: "Host, please don't have such thoughts. We have no grudges against each other."

Cheng Mo snorted twice, not knowing whether he believed it or not. He looked at the book in his hand - "The Exploitation of the Works of Nature". Cheng Mo asked doubtfully: "You are so kind, you actually gave me this? Is this real?!"

079 replied sarcastically: "It's fake! After all, we have no grudges against each other. I gave you this book to kill you~"

Cheng Mo ignored 079's sarcasm and opened the book in his hand with surprise. "Heavenly Creations" is the world's first comprehensive work on agricultural and handicraft production. It is a comprehensive scientific and technological work in ancient China. Some people also call it an encyclopedic work. With this book, they will be able to make a lot of things, and they don't have to worry about so many raw materials. Cheng Mo found that this was not the original "Heavenly Creations", but the second edition published by bookseller Yang Suqing in the early Qing Dynasty. There are more contents in the second edition.

Cheng Mo turned to "Naifu" and was even happier when he saw the description of textiles. He had long coveted the sheep wool! However... Cheng Mo was troubled when he read the content about iron smelting. They currently did not have the conditions to refine iron ore. If they had iron, many things could be further developed!

Cheng Mo was flipping through the book happily, and he didn't even walk. But Cheng Lingqu, who had woken up from hunger, couldn't stand it anymore and started babbling behind him. Cheng Mo patted Cheng Lingqu's little butt with his backhand and said, "Are you hungry, dear? Daddy will take you home for dinner."

When Cheng Mo arrived at the cave, lunch was already ready. It was cooked by Kong Yi. Although Kong Yi looked thin and weak, he was able to lift such a heavy stone knife and stone pot. Moreover, the food he cooked was delicious. Everyone expressed their approval of his cooking skills, which made Kong Yi lower his head shyly.
