*Step step step…*

 

Su Bai stepped away from the Yong’an Building, walking on the swept clean main road, his black eyes constantly looking up at the falling snow in the sky.

 

He looked for a while then lowered his head to look ahead, saying softly. “There still aren’t many people coming out.”

 

The current Flame Dragon Tribe did not have many people coming out, but it was not like there was absolutely no one either.

 

Previously there truly was not a single person, everyone was hiding at home not wanting to go out.

 

But ever since someone had been clearing the snow, people from the Tribe had gradually started coming out. Although they did not have much to do when they came out, at least they were coming out.

 

“Shaman, gradually more people will come out,” Yu Ying immediately said. She had no doubt about this point.

 

After all, recently when she went from the Yong’an Building to the greenhouse, there were people continuously greeting her along the way.

 

This had not happened before. Ever since Yu Ying had become a Shaman Priestess, her status and position in the Tribe had risen dramatically.

 

Everyone was very respectful to her, everyone who saw her would greet her, and some would even bring out what little meat they had at home to share with her, but Yu Ying always refused.

 

Having people greet her naturally made her very happy, but she could not use her current position to take food from other people.

 

“The Tribe still needs to develop properly to attract more people to come out,” Su Bai said indifferently.

 

He felt that people were not coming out now simply because there was nothing to do when they came out, so everyone just stayed home to rest instead, and did not need to run out in this weather.

 

But if the Tribe developed very well, without needing to say anything, those people would definitely come out.

 

The few people currently out and about were all heading to the barbecue shop. That’s right, the Flame Dragon Tribe’s barbecue shop remained open even during the snow season!

 

Although there was no common currency in the Primitive Era, there were still many things that could be used for exchange.

 

Originally during the snow season there were no shops in the Tribe, so the only barbecue shop naturally had to stay open.

 

This was also a trial run, preparing for opening more shops in the future. With this barbecue shop as precedent, and its success, future shops would definitely be opened.

 

“Shaman, although it’s snowing now, there are still many people in the barbecue shop,” Yu Ying said in surprise.

 

She had originally thought the barbecue shop would close during the snow season, but it was specifically requested to continue operating. At first she was not optimistic about it.

 

Although she knew the barbecued meat was very delicious, she had not expected it could attract so many people.

 

“By this time next year, there will be more shops opening, and then there will be more people,” Su Bai smiled.

 

When he thought of this, he simultaneously thought of other things, thinking that it was about time to create a common currency.

 

If they only relied on their current bartering system, it would hold the Tribe back.

 

With a common currency it would be different, everything would become convenient and easy to understand and value.

 

“Shaman, what are you thinking about?” Yu Ying noticed the Shaman had suddenly become a bit dazed.

 

“Nothing, I was thinking about currency. This way, we wouldn’t need to keep exchanging things with others.” Su Bai smiled.

 

“Currency? Shaman, what is currency?” Yu Ying asked, puzzled.

 

“Something that can be used to buy things. This way, we wouldn’t need to use meat to exchange for others’ linen. This will still need some time, you’ll understand when the time comes.” Su Bai said indifferently.

 

This was not that urgent now, it required laying out a very large plan, after all their currency also needed to be recognised by other Tribes.

 

This would be quite difficult to do. Also, changing their form of payment would take time for the Tribe to acclimatise. It was not something that could be accomplished in a day or two. So, Su Bai needed to be patient in his approach.

 

“Okay.” Although Yu Ying still didn’t understand what it was, she was very much looking forward to it.

 

Because every time she heard some new vocabulary, it would lead to unbelievable new things.

 

So Yu Ying believed that this ‘currency’ thing would definitely also be amazing. She just needed to wait patiently.

 

“How is the greenhouse? Is there anything different?” Su Bai asked. He had originally wanted to walk over to have a look, but right now the most important thing was still to deal with the wooden wall matter first.

 

Moreover, he had not been to look inside the greenhouse recently, his daily Growth Acceleration Skill was all cast on the plant seeds.

 

Because previous experiments had proven that Growth Acceleration Skill also had great effects on plant seeds, casting it directly on mature crops versus casting it directly on seeds made no difference.

 

So, he did not need to travel back and forth to the greenhouse every day, he could just cast it directly on those seeds, then have those people plant the seeds, which was the same.

 

Another experiment was to see how fast the seeds produced by crops that had Growth Acceleration Skill cast on them would grow.

 

This experiment had also succeeded, but the results were not as good as he had hoped.

 

These seeds would grow faster than seeds produced by parent crops that hadn’t had Growth Acceleration Skill cast on them, but they were not that much faster.

 

So he thought of another experiment, casting Growth Acceleration Skill on these seeds once more, and after they were planted and harvested, keeping some seeds to see how fast seeds that had Growth Acceleration Skill cast twice (parent and child) would grow.

 

“All the crops are growing very well, and those herbs and flowers are the same. The temperature inside the greenhouse is very warm. The snow season’s weather has completely no effect on them.” Yu Ying delightedly said.

 

Yu Ying had originally thought this greenhouse would only be useful for the rainy season, but had not expected it to have such good benefits for the snow season as well.

 

The snow filling the sky outside formed a sharp contrast with the plants inside the greenhouse, as if the snow outside had absolutely no effect on them whatsoever.

 

They were still growing robustly as before, and growing better and better, looking lush and green. They all looked very appetising in her eyes.

 

“That’s great. As soon as the crops mature, harvest them immediately, then plant the second batch afterwards.” Su Bai instructed.

 

Ever since having the Growth Acceleration Skill, the crops in the greenhouse were harvested almost every seven to eight days.

 

If it were before, this definitely would not have been possible. Previously even at the fastest it would take half a month.

 

“Okay. Some crops can be harvested tomorrow.” Yu Ying nodded.

 

She was now very happy to run to the greenhouse, seeing the green crops every day put her in a good mood.

 

This would not have been possible before. Previously they only ate meat that was hard as rocks and tasted terrible, with hardly any fresh vegetables to eat.
