Orc Girl's Tribal Daily Life

Chapter 207 No Name +4

Jiang Luoluo didn't show any signs of being flattered, but she was pretty much there.

Nu probably knew that his appearance was somewhat frightening and that he wasn't very suitable for communicating with children, so he led Jiang Luoluo and Ge into the house.

After lighting a fire, they mainly focused their attention on Ge and started talking to him, asking, "What kind of stone do you want to know about?"

Upon hearing the question, Ge's gaze unconsciously shifted to Jiang Luoluo, and he did not answer immediately.

Although Jiang Luoluo had already told him all this news at home, Ge felt that his reply might not have been very clear.

When messages are relayed through intermediaries, some information is inevitably missed, making them harder to understand.

Jiang Luoluo wasn't really scared by Nu; she was just not used to being around someone like Nu who seemed angry no matter what she did.

For some emotionally sensitive people, talking to someone angry can be very stressful, especially for children.

However, Jiang Luoluo was mature, so she quickly accepted it. It wasn't a big deal, and it didn't affect her much.

“Yes,” Jiang Luoluo replied smoothly and fluently. “I want to know if you have ever come into contact with a kind of stone that is white, probably like the white of snow, but it could also be milky white, or some other kind of not-so-clean white.”

His angry expression revealed a hint of obvious confusion.

Fortunately, Jiang Luoluo did not only provide such a single condition, but continued to add more.

"When this stone comes into contact with water, it melts, releases a lot of white gas, and the temperature drops, becoming very cold, and it may even freeze."

That makes the goal much clearer.

Nu pondered seriously for a long time before shaking his head, "I don't recall ever seeing this kind of stone before."

"Luo, you've described the characteristics very clearly. If I've seen a stone with these characteristics before, I certainly won't forget it."

Jiang Luoluo immediately showed a disappointed expression; the child's emotional changes were very obvious.

Go also showed a not-so-good expression, imagining in his mind what it would be like to search for "things" around the excrement pit after the snow season was over and the weather warmed up.

—Actually, it would be better to just refuse the cub's request, but Ge never thought of that. As long as it's something the cub wants, he will try his best to make it happen, no matter how difficult it is.

Seeing the unspoken expression on the two faces, Nu paused for a moment, wondering if the stone had any particularly important effect.

“The mining team’s route is actually changed every few years. I’ve never seen it, but the tribesmen who have traveled those routes before might know.”

Nu reassured the cub, "Luo, don't be too disappointed. I can ask them for you. They've been to more places where they might have seen it before."

Jiang Luoluo was a little embarrassed, "Won't this be too much trouble for you?"

"No, no!" He burst into laughter. "That kid Zhuang took a lot of things from you, and I haven't even thanked you yet."

Jiang Luoluo quickly waved her hand, "I also took quite a few things from Zhuang."

“They’re just some useless stones,” Nu said nonchalantly. “If Luo likes them, I have plenty more.”

Before Jiang Luoluo could react, Nu actually got up and went to a place Zhuang usually didn't know about, bringing out a bunch of stones of all sizes for Jiang Luoluo to choose from.

While moving the stones, Nu even told Jiang Luoluo about the origin of each stone or where they used to be.

There's chalcedony beneath icebergs, sulfur from the edge of volcanoes, and gold from golden mines...

Jiang Luoluo looked up blankly, "Huh?"

No, say it again, what are these?

Jiang Luoluo was shocked.

In comparison, the things Zhuang brought to Xiaoshishan to exchange with her were indeed "worthless junk".

Jiang Luoluo's arm wobbled slightly as she touched a piece of chalcedony that reached the size of her calf. The cool touch made her, who didn't know much about jade, realize that it was definitely a good piece.

Then I turned to look at the strong-smelling sulfur.

When you see sulfur, the first thing that comes to mind isn't "nitrate, sulfur, charcoal," but this.

Jiang Luoluo thought for a moment. Charcoal could be produced quickly even if the kiln didn't have any. She had come here specifically for saltpeter, plus the readily available sulfur... Wow, why did she open this line directly?!

She's still a seven-year-old baby!

Finally, Jiang Luoluo's gaze fell on the somewhat dusty gold block, which could not conceal the dazzling golden light underneath, and her eyes revealed a look of considerable longing.

This huge piece must weigh dozens of kilograms. If only she had a piece this big in her past life...

"Does Luo really like this kind of gold?" Nu also noticed the cub's unblinking gaze at the gold and generously said, "If Luo likes it, he can take it back with him."

Jiang Luoluo snapped out of her daze and quickly waved her hand to refuse, "No, no, it's too expensive..."

"Valuable?" Nu asked in surprise. "This kind of stone is useless. It feels soft and flimsy, not solid or hard at all. It's only good-looking because of its color that I brought one back."

Uh… Jiang Luoluo fell silent. Indeed, in the current tribe, gold had no other use besides its beautiful color.

Jiang Luoluo knew that the reason gold became an important symbol of value in her time was because of its stability and its indispensable use in various experiments.

But it seems unlikely that the tribe will develop to the point where it can generate gold value in a short time.
