I thrived in the primitive tribe

"Lead the Feathered Dragons to the animal pen and tell the people there to set aside a space specifically for them as their den, ensuring they have enough room to move around," Loya instructed meticulously.

Hearing Loya's detailed arrangements, the group replied in unison with confidence, "We know, we will definitely take good care of the Tailed Dragon."

Although they only rode the Tailed Dragon once, that one experience was enough for them to deeply appreciate the many benefits of having a mount: the commanding view from above and the lightning speed excited them, as if they had opened the door to a new world.

[So you can run this fast without transforming into animal form.]

After watching the group walk away, Lu Yao and the others moved all the wicker baskets to the center of the square.

Then, while showing them the items they had exchanged, they explained what these items were and how they were obtained.

"These are plant seeds we traded for salt, these are fruits we traded for earthenware jars, and these are..."

The high priest and the chief were shocked to see more and more things being laid out on the ground.

"You've reaped such a great harvest this time! We didn't even have this much when we exchanged before," the Great Shaman said, his voice full of surprise.

"Yes." The leader nodded in agreement.

"This time, we owe it all to Lu Yao's barbecue seasoning..." Luo Ya recounted their actions at the orc market to the two of them.

After listening to Luo Ya's vivid and moving narration, both of them showed great respect for Lu Yao.

"The divine messenger is truly amazing! Now we have even more food to eat."

Hearing the two of them start calling her "divine messenger" again, Lu Yao knew they must be very excited, but she had to pour cold water on their enthusiasm.

"Most of what we got in return were seeds, not to mention whether these could grow into anything suitable for our consumption."

Loya told me that the rainy season is coming soon, probably in the next few days, so there won't be enough time to plant these seeds.

After a rainy season followed by a cold season, I wonder if these plants will still be able to survive when it's time to sow them.

By then, the seeds we exchanged might have already gone bad.

Ideally, some of the plants we plant will actually grow.

The chief and the high shaman exchanged a glance, their eyes revealing a tacit understanding. Then, the chief slowly spoke.

"That's alright. Not every item we exchanged at the Orc Market has lived up to our initial expectations and achieved its full value."

Sometimes, even carefully selected items may fail to perform their intended purpose for various reasons.

The high shaman nodded slightly, picked up the conversation, and continued.

"Yes, didn't you tell us before that in this world, no matter what kind of ideas or plans you have, the first thing is to be brave enough to try them?"

How can you know the outcome if you don't try?

Perhaps this attempt didn't entirely meet our expectations, but it has provided us with valuable experience, allowing us to navigate the future more steadily.

Hearing their conversation, Lu Yao felt as if a guiding light had been lit in her heart.

Suddenly, she realized that she had been stuck in a mental dead end, obsessing over the final result while ignoring the valuable lessons learned along the way.

“You’re absolutely right,” Lu Yao said, her tone filled with relief and gratitude.

"I focused too much on the result and overlooked the scenery along the way. In fact, in the process of pursuing a goal, those moments of trial and error, exploration, and even failure are all indispensable parts."

They are like foundation stones, building bridges for us to success.

No success is achieved overnight, and no road is paved with flowers but without thorns.

As long as we remain patient, persevere, learn from each attempt, and accumulate experience, we will eventually achieve a more solid and better result.

At that moment, she deeply understood the true meaning of "the process is more important than the result," and she also understood how to cherish and enjoy every step of growth and transformation on her life's journey.

The group watched as Lu Yao's face no longer bore the bitter and resentful expression, and she no longer obsessed over whether these seeds could bring immediate and better development to their tribe.

"Shall we now gather our people and tell them about the results of this trade at the orc market?" Loya asked from the side.

“Alright,” the high shaman said, walking toward the warehouse. “Wait a moment, I’ll go get the trumpet.”

"What is a loudspeaker?" Loya asked, puzzled.

"Well, this is the thing we always use to talk to, it amplifies our voice, right?"

The shaman told me that Lu Yao knew about this thing before, but it didn't have a name, so she gave it this name—"trumpet".

We all thought the name was easy to remember and pronounce, so we decided to go with it.

Hearing the leader's explanation, Loya nodded in agreement, "It is indeed easy to remember."

Lu Yao listened to their conversation and felt very embarrassed.

I didn't come up with this name; I just borrowed it.

“Found it,” the high shaman said, walking over with a megaphone in her hand. “Who wants to notify everyone?” She handed the megaphone to the group.

"Let the leader speak." Lu Yao and Luo Ya exchanged a knowing glance and pushed the megaphone in front of the leader.

“Alright then,” the chief took the megaphone, walked to the front of the square and began to speak, telling his people to put down what they were doing and come to the square as soon as possible.

The group stood still, waiting for their clansmen to arrive from various places. When they saw the items laid out in the square, they knew that their leader had finished taking inventory and was about to explain everything to them.

Wow, there are so many things to redeem this time!

"Yes, I also think it's a lot more than what we exchanged before."

"Could it be that they brought a lot of things with them?"

"I saw them when they left; they were the ones that were placed in the square. Weren't you there too?"

"Yes, didn't you see what they were carrying?"

"I thought those things couldn't be exchanged for so many things, so I wondered if they added some more later."

How can you say that? Didn't you see them leave?

"Exactly, did they sneak back to get their things after we sent them away?"

"He just saw that they got these things back and offered his opinion, so why are you all saying this about him?"

"Isn't he wrong? We were just expressing our thoughts, weren't we?"

"that is,"

"Let's go, we're not staying here with these brainless people, really~"

"What did you say?"

The man quickly pulled the person next to him away from this side to the other side.

The people nearby pulled back the man who was about to start a fight.

“These people don’t look like good people. Our tribe has exchanged so many things and they’re not happy. Instead, they’re gossiping. Why bother arguing with people like that?”

"I get so angry listening to what they say, as if we're some lowly people who only deserve fewer resources. It's unbelievable!"

"Exactly, these guys seem to be sick."

"Alright, let's see what the leader has to say. Those people are just sour grapes."

"You mean that small purple round fruit that the divine messenger brought back last time? What does it have to do with this?"

“Those are grapes, but what she meant was that they didn’t get as many things back when they went out to exchange last time, so she’s slandering the gods for sending them.”

"Oh, I see. How could these people be like this?"

"Yes."

"Alright, that's enough. The leader is signaling everyone to be quiet."

"Everyone, stop talking now. Next, let's talk about what the teams that went out for exchange brought back this time."

First of all, I want to talk about the five tailed dragons that everyone saw at the beginning that were used as mounts. They were obtained by the divine messenger, Lu Yao, in exchange for salt, barbecue seasoning, and recipes from the tribe that tamed them.

From now on, everyone can ride them when they go out, so orcs won't need to transform into their animal forms unless absolutely necessary.

"Barbecue seasoning, is that the seasoning we use when grilling meat?"

"Yes," the leader heard someone in the crowd ask.
