Quick Transmigration: The Villain is Destiny, the Protagonist Takes a Backseat

"Queen, it's just a wild boar. You don't need Hui; I can hunt it for you myself." The orc who spoke had tiger ears and was none other than Xiao, the leader of the Tiger Clan tribe.

The girl's gaze shifted to Xiao, her voice tinged with satisfaction: "I know, Xiao, you've always been my bravest subordinate."

Upon receiving the praise, Xiao couldn't hide his smugness and gave Hui a defiant glance.

Hui's anger surged: "Then let's have a match."

"Okay, what should we compete in?" Xiao had been wanting to have a match with Hui for a long time.

He was no less capable than Hui, but because Hui arrived at Miaomiao's side first, Hui became Miaomiao's husband, while he could only be a pitiful subordinate.

He is not satisfied.

Several other orcs were also dissatisfied.

They all wanted to win Miaomiao's attention and enjoy Hui's happiness.

"Stop arguing. You are all my most capable subordinates. I am already very happy that you are so loyal to me." Miao Miao's beautiful face was full of gentleness.

Her voice was ethereal and captivating, leaving listeners itching with desire.

"But since you've already agreed, let's have a competition. The winner will receive a gift that I made myself."

"Okay, I want to participate."

"I also want."

This is a gift made by Miaomiao herself, so whatever it is, it will be very meaningful.

Hui was furious that so many orcs wanted to compete with him, but he had to put on a calm face. "No matter how many of you there are, I am confident that I can beat all of you."

"Hui, keep it up! I believe in you!" Miao Miao clearly still liked Hui the most.

It wasn't just because he was powerful, but also because he was more handsome than the other orcs.

Speaking of her looks, Miao Miao felt a pang of regret.

The snake-man who escaped a few days ago was the most beautiful person she had ever seen in the world, but unfortunately, she was a little afraid of snakes.

I was trying to overcome my fear and accept him, but it turned out that the snake had physical defects!

She has always pursued perfection and cannot appreciate beauty with minor flaws. To her, a disability is a disability, and even if he has the most outstanding beauty, she will feel physically disgusted.

The mutated white lion from before looked more perfect. Although it was a mutated lion, from the perspective of the aesthetics of her later generations, the beastman named Zhe was top-notch in both its original form and human form.

Unfortunately, that orc was a blockhead, seemingly only interested in survival.

She had secretly summoned him several times in an attempt to seduce him, and even made an exception by giving him extra food every day. However, he was ungrateful and his attitude towards her remained lukewarm, which infuriated her.

The more unattainable something is, the more restless it becomes.

Miao Miao originally planned to take things slowly and make the orc completely fall at her feet, but perhaps due to bad luck, the orc was killed by wild beasts while hunting a few days ago.

This news made Miao Miao unhappy for three whole days.

It wasn't until Hui gave her a jewel-encrusted scepter that she regained her vitality and became happy again.

Now, when Miao Miao thinks of those two orcs, she still feels regret, but that's all.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Hui performed a standard gentleman's bow in the way Miao Miao had taught him, then took one of Miao Miao's hands in his own, bent down, and reverently kissed the back of her hand.

"Disgusting~"

Miao Miao blushed instantly.

The competition officially began, and all the male beasts found a secluded spot as cover, waiting for the wild boars to walk right into their trap.

These beastmen had no idea that the wild boar they used as a wager had already been hunted away by Ji Qiuzhe, and their hopes for today were destined to be dashed.

In a small valley.

Ji Qiuzhe fed Ling a piece of tender wild boar meat to her lips, "Quick, try the meat I made, how does it taste?"

During his recovery period, Ji Qiuzhe was not idle.

The valley was rich in plant species. He found a way to sharpen several hard stones, cut bamboo to make some bowls and chopsticks, and gradually discovered many plants that could be used as seasonings.

Salt is the one that's the hardest to get.

They lived deep in the mountains, far from the sea, and the only nearby salt lake had already been claimed by the female protagonist.

Salt is an important resource, and the salt lake is guarded by orcs day and night.

Ji Qiuzhe could not risk going to steal salt water.

Fortunately, there are many methods for making salt.

The mountain is full of salt-rich plants. You can get salt water by collecting their ashes after burning them, putting them in a container, adding water, stirring, and letting them settle.

However, this method is somewhat inefficient.

Later, Ji Qiuzhe overheard Ling saying that he had seen goats in the vicinity.

Goats regularly travel to salt mines to lick rocks or soil, and by tracking the goats, they quickly found many places rich in salt.

The salt problem is solved.

The seasonings are also mostly complete.

So, the key is to make a pot and a stove.

The stove was made in a very simple way. Ji Qiuzhe made a simplified version of the stove made of mud and straw, based on the ancient wood-burning stove. Although it looked a bit ugly, it was of good quality.

But the pot is really time-consuming to make.

A good pot is one that conducts heat well.

Due to the many inconveniences of primitive society, Ji Qiuzhe and Ling spent three days finding a stone with good hardness, and then another six days polishing the stone into the shape of a pot.

Now they had a makeshift kitchen.

Ji Qiuzhe happened to have hunted this wild boar today, so he quickly dissected it, carefully separating all the parts, and made a fragrant stir-fried meat dish. He also used the ingredients to make a large portion of spare ribs.

As for the remaining meat...

The weather was hot, but the cave they were staying in was very cold, so they could keep some fresh meat in the cave to keep it fresh, and the rest were all salted and hung under the shade of trees to make jerky.

Although dried meat doesn't taste as good as fresh meat, it can be stored for a long time.

This wild boar was huge, probably weighing around 800 pounds, and naturally had a lot of meat. Ling ate her fill in just one meal.

The more she ate, the more she felt fonder of Ji Qiuzhe.

He had already given Zhe'an an extraordinary identity in his mind, but he never expected that what he would show in recent days would still exceed his expectations.

"Mmm, it's delicious." Ling praised mindlessly.

He had eaten the food Miao Miao had given him and originally thought it was already quite delicious, but now, compared to Ji Qiuzhe, he realized how worlds apart they were.

The meat Miaomiao gave us was barely edible compared to what Zhe made.

"Is there anything you can't do?" Ling asked Ji Qiuzhe.

"Of course there are." There are many things Ji Qiuzhe doesn't know.

He is good at practical skills, but he is lacking in areas such as singing and dancing.

Fortunately, 003 never assigned him a similar identity, otherwise he would have had to rely on cheat codes.

Once we've solved the problem of food and clothing, the next thing to do is move to a better place to live.
