From a Slave to a Overlord, My Experience with the Beast World

Among the selected people were two acquaintances, Shouhou and Hebao.

They arrived at a gully, which was not very deep. The soil here was red, and Li Mingsheng had probably judged that it was excellent clay for making pottery.

I encountered this when I was out looking for salt before. I didn't have any plans at the time, I just wrote it down. After the current salt issue, the most urgent issue, was resolved, I came back to look for it.

"This is it, let's start digging!" Li Mingsheng and his men didn't have any iron tools, so they could only make hoes out of stones. They could still be used for softer places, but for places with hard soil, they could only transform into animals and use their claws to dig.

Fortunately, the orcs selected all have sharp claws.

After digging the soil, you need to use a bamboo sieve to sift the soil and pick out the mixed stones and rotten wood.

We were so busy that it got dark.

Their day was considered over when the smell of meat wafted from the tribe.

Although it was a rest day, the orcs who had been busy with Li Mingsheng and his team for a whole day felt that it was more tiring than going hunting, but it was very fulfilling and they did not feel tired at all.

After dinner in the evening, the people in the tribe would basically sit or lie down in the square to digest the food. When they had almost digested the food, they would meet up to go to the river to wash together.

"Captain Jinwu showed us a very powerful weapon today and taught us how to make it. Since we have enough time, I made one for you too."

"Wow, what is this, it feels amazing."

"It's really amazing. Once this arrow is shot out, it can hit a target hundreds of meters away, and it's fast."

The orc's eyes lit up as he spoke. Thinking of what Captain Jinwu had demonstrated during the day, and the feeling after he shot it himself, he still felt like he was in a dream.

"That's great. I followed the leader to dig today." The person who spoke also had a sense of showing off.

"What are you digging for?"

"The chief said he wanted to make pottery. I told him secretly, so you don't tell anyone."

With the publicity, within less than one night, everyone in the tribe knew that Li Mingsheng was going to make pottery.

They were all very excited, and some even deliberately went around to the pottery kiln to see what was going on.

After a short break, the entire Jiuzhou tribe returned to its previous rhythm. Li Mingsheng has been busy making pottery these days. After the success rate of the first batch of finished products was less than half, he devoted himself to research and finally achieved improvements in the next few batches.

The yield rate is as high as over 80%. During the pottery firing process, Li Mingsheng also discovered two excellent pottery-making talents.

One is the river leopard. Although he is usually taciturn and a leopard-shaped beastman, his concentration and thinking ability are very suitable for the job of kiln firing.

Basically, he understood it immediately. Another excellent candidate was the sub-orc man Tu. This sub-orc man was originally under Wenqing's command. Because the pottery kiln needed people, Wenqing arranged for him to come.

He has a very flexible mind. He was able to think of the concept of glaze even before Li Mingsheng proposed it. He also has a very aesthetic style. Li Mingsheng and He Bao are not as good as him in this regard. With the help of these two excellent assistants, Li Mingsheng's progress is much faster.

A lot of pottery was produced in less than a week.

Among them, more than a dozen very large clay pots were made and are now being used by Wenqing. With the use of the clay pots, their cooking time is much faster every day, and they can have more time to smoke the exotic beast meat.

Because it was early autumn, there were many strange beasts outside the tribe. Their tribe was only located between three mountains and connected to the Mimixi Plain. The formation at the entrance was only aimed at the orcs and sub-orcs of Wanyuan Continent.

For the strange beasts, there was no impact at all. They could still enter and leave the tribe freely. In fact, because the tribe was close to the river, they had abundant supplies and many groups of strange beasts. Of course, the ones they encountered were those with weaker lethality.

After another busy week, the third morning meeting of Wanyuan Continent began. At this morning meeting, Li Mingsheng and his colleagues not only distributed animal essence, but also gave each person a large ceramic bowl.

The walls of the ceramic bowl are delicate and much lighter than stone bowls. They are even more heat-insulating than stone bowls. The tribe also thoughtfully made a hide bowl cover for each person so that they would not be afraid of being broken or burned.

Everyone couldn't let it go and took great care to protect their own pottery.

As for the pottery making, Li Mingsheng only followed the whole process for the first few days. After that, he delegated the power to He Bao and others, and only went to inspect it when he was free. Seeing that the work was proceeding in an orderly manner, Li Mingsheng began to think about papermaking.

"It's troublesome to move so many bamboo slips around. I'll see if I can make paper first in these days." Li Mingsheng felt uncomfortable watching Yanli moving the bamboo slips into the cave and calculating them there again. It was tiring to move them around like this.

"Are the papers you're talking about the two strange things that appeared on the ground when Shen Ya disappeared?"

If Yanli hadn't brought it up, Li Mingsheng would have forgotten about this matter. He took out the two talismans he had obtained before from the wooden cabinet beside the bed.

He placed them in Yanli's hands and replied, "Yes, these two are talisman papers!"

"What I mean by papermaking is to make paper similar to this one, and then you can write on the paper, which is convenient."

Now Yanli has basically become the user and manager of the tribe's account books. He is responsible for basically everything in and out of the warehouse. Now there are few people, and there are fewer things to record, so it is still possible to do it with bamboo slips. But when there are more people in the future, the work will become complicated, and paper must be available, and he will have to train a few assistants.

"Okay, I've got the parts for the cart that I and the other orcs made earlier. See when you have time to assemble it."

Yanli then thought of this matter. Although Li Mingsheng had been in the tribe these days, he had been busy making pottery, so Yanli had not disturbed him. Finally, at night, the two met each other in the cave, and he brought up this matter.

The light was a little dim, and Yanli could barely make out the words on the bamboo slips. Li Mingsheng saw that Yanli was looking closer and closer, so he was afraid that something might happen to his eyes, so he put out the light.

Ever since Li Mingsheng taught the tribe how to make fire, more and more people have been lighting fires to work in the caves at night. Li Mingsheng sighed and thought that it was time to remind them that there is always work to be done and the most important thing is to protect their eyes.

"I haven't finished yet." When Li Mingsheng pulled Yanli onto the stone bed, he was still thinking about his bamboo slips.

"Shh! There is no end to the work. Let's deal with it tomorrow morning." Li Mingsheng forcefully held down Yanli's hands that were about to move.

After he calmed down, he continued, "As for the cart you mentioned, put the materials aside for now. After I finish making the paper and repair the road in our tribe, I will put it together again."
