Here we go again. The corner of Ye Zhizhi’s mouth twitched slightly. She thought to herself, this orc looks handsome, strong, and smart, but in fact, Rong Zhan doesn’t have any common sense at all. It’s really tiring to talk to him. She sighed helplessly and shook her head in distress. “What can I do in the future? This is simply casting pearls before swine!”
Rong Zhan saw Ye Zhizhi’s expression and could feel her disgust and worry. He couldn’t help but feel a little disappointed. He even suspected that he really couldn’t do anything.
“How about this.” Ye Zhizhi looked at Rong Zhan with a very serious expression. “Actually, the place I live in is different from ordinary orcs. We use a lot of tools, and those tools will greatly improve our quality of life. For example, if you use fire to roast meat, the fire will be your tool. I will need to eat rice, and the rice needs to be cooked with tools… So, I plan to produce some tools to use. Can you help me?”
This seemed to be the first time Ye Zhizhi had asked for his help, so Rong Zhan was naturally willing. His ears immediately perked up, but he still pretended to be unconcerned and lifted his chin slightly, acting cool. Rong Zhan said, “Since you’ve already spoken, like a tiger who keeps his word, of course, I can fulfill your request. Speak, what do you want to do?”
Ye Zhizhi didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. She pointed at the rocks at the entrance of the cave and the high piles of stored grain inside the cave and said, “First, move these to where they should be.” Rong Zhan had an embarrassed look on his face. Nevertheless, he still moved them without any complaints. In just a few minutes, the cave returned to its previous empty state.
Looking at his actions, Ye Zhizhi sighed. She had already transmigrated to this world for a few days, and she still didn’t understand the specific situation of this world. It would probably be a little difficult for her to return to the modern world. She thought that since she had come, she should just settle down and live in this world first. Since she wanted to live, she couldn’t keep not eating. The pot would definitely not be produced in a short time, and as for the other food… it really didn’t suit her taste!
“Rong Zhan, is there a relatively empty barren land nearby?” Ye Zhizhi looked at Rong Zhan’s muscles, which were sweating because of his work. Under the sunlight, they were shining with a honey-colored luster. It could be described as a feast for the eyes, not to mention how he looked at her with such tenderness. It was as if she would be drowned in those eyes. Ye Zhizhi subconsciously turned her face away and looked outside the cave.
Rong Zhan knew nothing about her mood. He wiped the sweat off his forehead and said, “Isn’t it easy to find a barren land? This mountain is all mine…”
“That’s not what I meant. I wanted to ask, where did you find those wild vegetables yesterday?” Ye Zhizhi thought for a while and remembered that there were many medicinal herbs in the place where she had saved the little wolf cub earlier. There were also many trees along the way. This meant that the environment in which the plants grew here was similar to that of the modern countryside. Moreover, since Rong Zhan could find wild vegetables, there must be other things that could be eaten. Therefore, she hurriedly pulled Rong Zhan and ran to the lower reaches of the mountain stream.
Sure enough, on the section of the road behind where she had saved the wolf cub, there was a large barren land covered with wild grass. There were a few scattered trees around. When Ye Zhizhi looked up, she actually saw spices like suterberry, pepper, star anise, and cinnamon!
With these, she could eat meat! Thinking about it, Ye Zhizhi was filled with joy in her heart, and a long-lost smile blossomed on her face. Next, she only needed to work on this wasteland and plant some food so that she wouldn’t have to go hungry in the future!
Rong Zhan was somewhat puzzled. “Little one, are you interested in this piece of land? I should have told you earlier. I can give you this large piece of land, but you can’t settle down here because you’re my little one. You still have to sleep in the cave with me.”

Ye Zhizhi: “…” Did Rong Zhan think that she was looking for a wasteland to move out? How was that possible? In this wilderness, not to mention the beastmen, just these insects alone were unbearable to her. Who would stay here! She didn’t know whether to laugh or cry as she explained to him, “Even if you begged me to stay here, I wouldn’t have come. I’m looking for desolate land because I want to cultivate this place to grow food!”
“Grow crops?” Rong Zhan was once again dumbfounded. What were crops? Another new term. He was really confused… “Little one, what does growing crops mean?”
Ye Zhizhi looked at his contrasting and adorable expression and couldn’t get angry. She patiently explained to him, “It’s just something to eat, and it’s something that must be eaten because it’s rich in carbohydrates and vitamins. It’s a nutrient that the human body urgently needs. If you don’t eat it for a long time, your body will deteriorate, and if it’s serious, you might die!”
Although Rong Zhan didn’t understand what she meant at all, the words “If you don’t eat, you’ll die” gave him a deep shock. His little female was really too delicate. She actually had to eat something he had never heard of to maintain her life. Rong Zhan thought in horror. It seemed that he had to work even harder to feed this delicate female orc.
“I won’t let anything happen to you.” Rong Zhan’s expression was calm. He assured her with seriousness while he felt distressed.. “If you tell me the growing method, don’t worry, I’ll definitely let you eat the crops!”
