I Became The Chief Of A Primitive Village

Chapter 784, Calculating Thoughts

Su Bai somewhat missed the previous ‘drop rates’. The things that had been coming out recently were not great to say the least.

In the past, every few days he would get some good Skills, but now he had not seen them for a long time.

Even when Skills did come out, it was just barely on time, for example, the Mid Grade Assistance that was guaranteed once a month.

This made him miss the past, where things like the Adamantium Shield, Taming, Finger Gun that had come out before were all useful.

At worst, some good Low Grade Assistance had come out, but the things coming out recently were simply too disappointing.

If there were repeated good items coming out, that would be one thing, but the things coming out were all destined for the warehouse.

[Fine, eventually something good should come out…] Su Bai sighed.

The Low Grade Assistance that came out today was a walking stick, which was of no help to him whatsoever.

The Tribe was least lacking in walking sticks. There were trees everywhere, and one could casually get some to make a walking stick.

“Shaman, why have you brought out a piece of wood?” Yu Ying asked curiously.

She saw Su Bai come out from his room, still holding a long piece of wood in his hand.

Wasn’t it time for breakfast now? Where had the Shaman obtained this wood? Moreover, this wood looked very different, more attractive than ordinary wood.

“Oh, this is something I made last night.” Su Bai said casually, handing the walking stick over.

He paid no mind towards this walking stick. It would just be piled to one side anyway.

“The Shaman made it last night?” Yu Ying froze, her pink eyes constantly looking at the walking stick in her hands.

Yu Ying felt this piece of wood was truly too exquisite. She had never seen such exquisite wood before.

Moreover, it was made last night, but this piece of wood looked as if it had taken a great deal of time to create.

She just did not understand why one would carve a piece of wood to look so surreal.

“Oh, it’s been in my room all along. It took several days to finish properly.” Su Bai only then reacted.

This walking stick might be a very normal thing to him, but for people of this era, it was supernatural craftsmanship. After all, this walking stick from the System had a dragon carved on it, and the dragon’s head even held a pearl.

Moreover, this walking stick had been painted with a layer of colour. Its deep brown colour indeed gave it a sense of luxury.

“I see. The Shaman is truly too amazing. But why carve a piece of wood?” Yu Ying asked curiously.

She had not expected the Shaman to know woodworking as well. Was this not something only Uncle Gu Mu knew?

“I have nothing to do. This thing can only go to the Central Market. Let’s see if people from other Tribes like it and let them trade for it.” Su Bai said indifferently.

“Shaman, are you really going to put such a good thing in the Central Market?” Yu Ying felt somewhat reluctant.

“Then what? This thing is of no use to us. Taking it to the Central Market means it can at least be traded for some things.” Su Bai raised his eyebrows slightly.

He saw that Yu Ying had a feeling of reluctance, but this walking stick was not suitable for her anyway.

Although this walking stick had carved dragon patterns and held a pearl, it was ultimately too old-fashioned. Moreover, this walking stick was for elderly people to use, or for people with inconvenient legs and feet. Yu Ying had even less use for a walking stick.

“Shaman, how much food should this piece of wood be exchanged for then?” Yu Ying gripped that walking stick tightly.

She always felt this piece of wood could be exchanged for many things. Surely many people would want it.

“Let’s exchange it for four bags of dried meat then, or exchanging with Shaman Bone Tablets would also work.” Su Bai said.

Only now did he look carefully at that walking stick, discovering this thing might actually be a business opportunity.

People of this era knew nothing about walking sticks with carved dragon patterns. They would probably take it back as an art piece to worship.

“Yes, I’ll have someone take it to the Central Market to display.” Yu Ying nodded.

“Wait, first take this walking stick to show Uncle Gu Mu. Let him study it first.” Su Bai raised his hand.

He wanted to begin mass-producing this walking stick. After all, for skilled carpenters, carving wood would not take very long.

“Is the Shaman planning to have them carve more of these pieces of wood?” Yu Ying asked curiously.

“Yes, produce more for the Central Market.” Su Bai said indifferently.

Yu Ying lowered her head to look at the walking stick in her hands, asking curiously, “Shaman, you just called this a walking stick? Why that name?”

“Walking sticks are for people with inconvenient legs and feet, or elderly people, to use for support when walking.” Su Bai explained simply.

After Yu Ying heard this, she froze in shock. “Shaman, are you saying this wood is to be placed on the ground?”

Yu Ying felt horrendous. To think such an exquisite thing was actually for leg support!?

“Yes, the elderly in the Tribe will need them.” Su Bai nodded.

“Shaman, I’m afraid after they know, they won’t be willing to trade for it.” Yu Ying felt this was quite regrettable.

Yu Ying thought that for such a great item, if only to be used for walking support, everyone would be unwilling to trade for it.

“Don’t tell them. In any case, with this wood sitting there, they’ll want to trade for it.” Su Bai smiled.

He had suddenly thought of a calculative idea…

“I see. The Shaman plans not to tell them its purpose, relying entirely on their desire for it, correct?” Yu Ying suddenly understood.

“Yes, but we can first carve some to distribute to the Tribe’s elderly, especially those whose legs and feet are not nimble.” Su Bai nodded.

There were still some elderly people in the Flame Dragon Tribe, especially some with inconvenient legs and feet.

“Shaman, must this thing called… called a walking stick all be carved like this?” Yu Ying asked doubtfully.

“Walking stick patterns can be many. You can let the carpenters freely express themselves, or they can carve following this walking stick’s pattern.”

Su Bai drank some tea and continued, “Or wait a moment and I’ll draw some patterns for you. You can have them copy and carve accordingly.”

He did not want to spend too much time on walking sticks. After all, any long piece of wood of the correct size could act as a substitute.

Carving patterns on the wood was merely to make this walking stick appear more luxurious.

In the Flame Dragon Tribe, it did not need to be particularly detailed, but in order to increase its value at the Central Market and, carving some patterns was necessary.

“I think they’ll definitely be excited to try. Carving wood into something like this will surely give them a sense of achievement.” Yu Ying swung her pink fox tail.

“Go ahead then.” Su Bai smiled.
