After handing it over to the system, the three brothers knelt down and begged for forgiveness

Nan Qiao was somewhat flattered by the sudden kneeling of the crowd. She never expected that the act of making a fire, which seemed so ordinary to her, would cause such a sensation.

She hurried forward and helped everyone up one by one.

"Kamu, why are people so excited when they see fire?"

Kamu was surprised and asked, "Lord Chosen One, don't you know?"

Seeing Nan Qiao shake his head, he explained, "In our world, fire is very rare. Only the tribe that possesses fire is considered powerful."

"Only tribes like this are qualified to participate in the Hundred Tribes Conference and exchange supplies with other tribes."

Kamu's eyes sparkled with excitement. "From now on, we will also be a tribe with fire, and we can also participate in the Hundred Tribes Conference!"

Nan Qiao was surprised when he heard this. He never thought that a fire could determine the status of a tribe.

She asked curiously, "Kamu, what is this Hundred Divisions Conference you mentioned?"

Kam scratched his head and explained, "The Hundred Tribes Conference was held by the Sun Tribe."

"Every year at that time, all eligible tribes would gather there, and everyone would bring out their own surplus items and exchange them with other tribes for what they needed."

"For example, if our tribe makes good stone tools, we can exchange them with other tribes for things like animal skins or salt."

Nan Qiao listened to Kamu's words, nodded, and thought to himself that this was like a modern material exchange meeting or trade fair.

They had no common currency, so they could only barter.

Everyone gathered around the fire, their eyes burning, their hearts still immersed in the great joy of the tribe having fire.

Nan Qiao looked at everyone and said with a smile, "You all just got your share of meat and haven't eaten it yet, right? Why don't we make a bigger fire and grill the meat together?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Gru frowned and objected loudly: "How can this be possible? Fire is so precious, it is the hope of our tribe. How can it be used for something as trivial as barbecuing? This is simply a blasphemy against fire!"

Nan Qiao frowned, looked at Gru, and said firmly: "Fire is precious, but aren't we precious too? Without us, where would the tribe come from?"

"We have fire. We should not use it as a sacrifice, but use it to make our lives better."

"Everyone has received meat today. This is a moment worth celebrating. Barbecue and eating together will allow everyone to feel the benefits of fire. This is the meaning of fire, not hiding it."

When the other people in the tribe heard Nan Qiao's proposal, their eyes instantly flashed with curiosity and desire. They looked at each other, their lips trembling slightly, as if they couldn't believe it: "Can we really do this?"

"I've never eaten meat grilled over a fire before, so I don't know what it tastes like."

"Roasting meat with fire? Only the Chosen One would have such an idea."

Kamu frowned and spoke with a worried look on his face: "Lord Chosen One, this... fire can bring us hope, but it is also extremely dangerous."

"I heard before that a tribe accidentally let the fire spread, and many people were burned to death."

"That scene is terrifying just thinking about it. We can't joke with everyone's lives."

Kamu's gaze shifted between the crowd and the fire, the fear in his eyes like the shadow of the flames, shrouding his heart.

Nan Qiao looked at Kamu, who was worried, and the others, whose eyes were full of curiosity and desire, and said with a smile, "I know everyone is worried about the danger of fire, but we can control it."

"I have a way to keep the fire under control and prevent tragedy from happening."

Nan Qiao looked at everyone's expectant and worried expressions, smiled slightly, and began to expand the fire.

She first carefully observed the surrounding environment to ensure that there was enough safe space.

Then she directed several young and strong males to bring some dry and appropriately sized stones and arrange them in a larger circle around the original fire to limit the scope of the flames.

Then, Nan Qiao asked the female to find some flammable hay and twigs and spread them evenly in the circle surrounded by stones.

She then looked for some thicker branches around and cleverly built a structure similar to a campfire stand.

After doing this, Nan Qiao pulled out a burning stick from the flame and carefully ignited the newly added hay and branches.

The flames began to grow slowly, licking the new fuel and jumping happily, but always within the confines of the stones.

Nan Qiao stood up, dusted off his hands, and said to everyone, "Look, now we can barbecue together. As long as we stay within this range, we'll be safe."

"Wow, the Chosen One is so powerful!"

"The fire has grown bigger, but it's still so stable. It won't reach us at all."

Everyone was talking at once, their eyes full of surprise.

Nan Qiao smiled and picked up a piece of meat, skewered it with a branch, and began to teach everyone how to grill it: "Skewer the meat on the branch and roast it next to the fire like this. Turn it frequently so that it is heated evenly."

Under Nan Qiao's guidance, everyone began to try grilling the meat, and the meat gradually changed color and filled with aroma.

When everyone ate the roasted meat, their faces were filled with surprise.

"This cooked meat is so delicious, much more delicious than raw meat!"

"Yes, it's so fragrant and tender. I've never eaten anything so delicious."

Everyone chewed with satisfaction, and laughter echoed in the tribe.

Gru, however, grumbled disdainfully, "This roasted meat is old and hard to chew. It's not as good as raw meat."

But while he said this, his hands kept putting meat into his mouth and he ate faster than anyone else.

After eating the meat, everyone gathered around the campfire, cheerful singing rang out, and everyone danced hand in hand.

Nan Qiao also joined in, singing and dancing with them, feeling pure joy. That joy was like the flame of a bonfire, warm and bright, burning in everyone's heart.

It was late at night, and the leader took the fire and left, letting the bonfire gradually go out. Everyone dispersed with laughter and satisfaction and returned to the stone house.

Nan Qiao also felt sleepy, so she got up and went to the stream to wash up. The cool river water brushed across her cheeks, making her feel a little more awake.

After washing up, she prepared to go back to her room to sleep.

However, when passing by other people's stone houses, some indescribable sounds suddenly came from inside.

Realizing what they were doing, Nan Qiao's face turned red instantly and she subconsciously quickened her pace.

But some stone houses had no shelter at all, and the two intimate people in the house fell into her sight without reservation. Nan Qiao blushed with shame, and she didn't dare to raise her head, just hoping to leave quickly.

After great difficulty, she returned to her stone house, closed the door, and breathed a long sigh of relief.

It seems that I have to find a way to store water in a water tank tomorrow. I can’t run around outside in the middle of the night. It’s so embarrassing.
