I'm involved in poverty alleviation in a primitive tribe.

The members of the Red Fox tribe stared intently at the single, still-blank name on the animal hide, a sense of indescribable loss welling up within them.

Although they were illiterate, they could clearly realize at that moment that the blank space belonged to their Red Fox tribe.

Their tribe has a small population, only a little over a hundred people, and few red foxes, only about fifty, and their strength is not great.

They were able to get this far mostly thanks to the help of other tribes. They didn't have any special skills, unlike the Stone Tribe and the Bamboo Tribe, who were able to do so much for the alliance.

Unlike the Bull Tribe and the Great Horned Deer Tribe, they can't help with the work.

The more she thought about it, the more frustrated she became, and the Red Fox Witch's head drooped lower and lower.

At this moment, Jiang Ning spoke up again from above: "Finally, I want to give special praise to the Red Fox Tribe."

The Red Fox Witch looked up in surprise. Praise the Red Fox Tribe? Praise what?

Jiang Ning smiled at her and said, "I asked everyone to give me a sample of every species they saw. Among the pile handed in by the Red Fox Tribe, I found two things that are very useful to the Alliance."

"The first one is a black fruit that grows on trees, which I plan to call black beans. These black beans are very productive; a single black bean tree can produce a lot of black beans. There are also many ways to eat black beans. I have already tried it, and it can be planted in large quantities within the alliance to fill the stomachs of our people."

"Most importantly, it can also be used to extract oil. You should have already eaten the food that our Sirius tribe stir-fries with animal fat. This black bean is the same. There is a lot of black bean oil hidden inside the black bean."

"The second one is a medicinal herb. The Red Fox tribe has discovered a herb with similar effects that we have never seen in the area where we used to live. This herb may be unique to this place."

"The leaves of this herb are plump and round, as if someone has filled them with water. Drip the juice from these leaves into the ears to enhance a warrior's hearing and improve their strength. I want to name this herb Ear Juice Herb, and in the future, I will establish a herb plantation in the alliance to grow a large number of various herbs."

"For this, the Red Fox Tribe, add two strokes." She drew a horizontal line after the name of the Red Fox Tribe, and then added a vertical line below that line.

The Red Fox Tribe's disappointment vanished instantly—two entries! Their tribe had made two entries at once!

The red foxes in their tribe are omnivores and eat everything. After Jiang Ning gave them orders, they would bring back a little bit of every plant they ate while hunting.

As for the other tribes, most of them are meat-eaters, and the few vegetarian tribes are still busy plowing the fields and haven't gone anywhere.

Although bamboo rats and spotted ducks are omnivorous, one prefers to burrow underground and the other prefers to go into the water, and so far, no discoveries have been made about them.

Jiang Ning smiled. She had said so much and done this today to motivate them, and naturally she wouldn't leave out any tribe.

She glanced around and saw that the representatives of each tribe were staring intently at the ranking on the animal skin, their eyes burning with a fierce flame—a desire for the future and a determination to succeed.

Even the members of the Sirius tribe were no exception. Although they could directly obtain the first place without having to work hard for this ranking, who was willing to admit defeat?

Are we just going to watch the Sirius tribe's name disappear completely during next year's grand sacrifice?

That would be such a disgrace to the tribe and the shaman!

They not only want to be the strongest tribe in terms of combat power, but also the number one in other areas!

Primitive people are inherently warlike, and this was a competition between nine tribes. For a time, everyone was thinking about what else their tribe could do.

Jiang Ning's efforts were not in vain; her words have taken deep root in everyone's hearts like seeds, waiting to blossom and bear fruit in the future.

She clapped her hands lightly, the sound crisp and clear, rousing everyone from their deep thoughts. Looking at them, her eyes gleamed, she said, "Now, let's name the alliance. The boundary marker will not only bear the totems of our nine tribes, but also the name of the alliance."

Without a second thought, the clam witch said, "Then let's call it the Sirius Alliance. As soon as people hear the name, they'll know whose territory this is."

As soon as he finished speaking, the atmosphere around him seemed to liven up instantly. Some people nodded in agreement, thinking that the name was concise, clear, and perfectly fitting.

Jiang Ning shook her head slightly, her bright eyes sparkling with thoughtful light, as if they held boundless wisdom. She said loudly, "Since it is the name of the alliance, it should carry the will of everyone, not just the Sirius tribe."

She paused, frowning slightly, as if searching for the right words to express her thoughts.

The atmosphere in the council chamber became somewhat heavy because of her pause, and everyone's eyes were focused on her, waiting for her to continue.

After a moment, she spoke again, her voice firm and strong: "This name can be used to reflect the spirit of our alliance, our common pursuits and goals, and our attitude towards partners and enemies. It can be an inspiration, a reminder, a symbol that keeps us constantly mindful of who we are. In the face of enemies, we must protect not only the tribe, but also our common alliance."

Her words were like a ray of light, illuminating the council chamber. Everyone fell into deep thought, each pondering her words.

Everyone was silently thinking, trying to find the most suitable name for the alliance.

Jiang Ning didn't urge them. She sat in her seat and quietly observed everyone's expressions.

Their brows were furrowed, sometimes lost in thought, sometimes shaking their heads slightly, as if they were sifting through the words in their hearts, trying to find the most perfect combination.

Finally, someone spoke up. Lianwu looked at Jiang Ning and said, "Witch, how about calling it the 'Nine Tribes Alliance'? It represents the unity of our nine tribes. From now on, no one can bring shame to the alliance."

Jiang Ning neither said it was good nor bad; she simply picked up another piece of animal hide, unfolded it, and wrote down the name.

After finishing writing, she put down her quill and looked at the others: "What about you?"

The Great Deer Shaman tentatively asked, "How about the name 'Land of Peace'? We've migrated all the way here, leading our people to establish our tribe's settlement here, isn't it all so that our people can live in peace?"

Upon hearing this, the others who had been somewhat eager to try fell silent.

Yes, all they ask for is to be able to survive here with their people.

Jiang Ning's gaze swept over the people in the council hall, her eyes revealing deep contemplation.
