Surviving in the Beast World with a System

Chapter 439 - 365: Make More Contributions

In the future, these houses would serve as dormitories for the tribe’s slaves. A few slaves would share one, or a single slave family could have one to themselves.

As for Chang Ye and the others, if they continued to work so diligently, she might even allow them to become ordinary members of the Snow Tiger Tribe.

This could also become a reward system to encourage the slaves in the future.

But this reward system couldn’t be too easy. Having faced danger alongside the Beastman Warriors several times, Wu Yue understood the rules of this world very well.

The more powerful a person was, the higher their status. But by the same token, those who held such high status also bore great responsibility.

Whenever the tribe faced a great crisis, it was always the Beastman Warriors and Half beastman Warriors who charged to the front lines.

Wu Yue looked at Chang Ye, her expression serious. "In my heart, you are no different from the other members of the tribe. But to the others, that isn’t the case. You are, after all, slaves.

I can grant you permission to store food, but ultimately, it isn’t your own property. Even the houses you will live in belong to the tribe.

Slaves have no right to own property. It’s the same in every tribe.

So, Chang Ye, don’t be satisfied with this life. Contribute more to the tribe. That way, I will have a reason to make you an ordinary tribesman."

BOOM!

Already filled with gratitude, Chang Ye felt a roaring buzz in his head.

’He couldn’t believe what he had just heard. Lord Wuyue said we can become ordinary members of the tribe.’

From the day they became slaves, every one of them knew they had lost their freedom forever, lost the rights enjoyed by ordinary members of a tribe.

Slaves were property of the tribe, less valuable than even a Beast Skin or a fresh kill.

After all, they still consumed the tribe’s food. He had never thought—never even dared to imagine—that he might one day become an ordinary tribesman again.

The middle-aged male suddenly dropped to his knees before Wu Yue with a THUD. "Lord Wuyue, your heart is as vast as that of the Beast God!"

Startled by this sudden, grand gesture, Wu Yue quickly turned and helped him up. "Don’t be so quick to thank me. As I said, you will have to make a great contribution before I grant you the status of ordinary tribesmen.

Now, arrange for people to start making bricks and tiles as soon as possible. We need to have all the houses in the tribe built before the tribal assembly."

With that, she turned and left.

Only after Wu Yue’s figure had disappeared into the distance did the slaves who had been resting in a nearby tent come over.

Seeing the rims of Chang Ye’s eyes were red, they all grew a little nervous.

"Chang Ye, what just happened? Did Lord Wuyue blame us for not taking good care of the taro?"

"Yeah, we saw you kneel to Lord Wuyue."

Seeing their deep anxiety, Chang Ye laughed. "Lord Wuyue praised us! As a reward, she’s having me select some people to make bricks and tiles. She’s going to build houses for us to live in!"

The thatched hut instantly erupted in an uproar!

Seeing that the smile on Chang Ye’s face wasn’t fake, the slaves did something incredibly bold for the first time. They cheered loudly and ran toward the taro fields to share the wonderful news with their families and friends.

In the distance, members of the Snow Tiger Tribe heard the slaves’ cheers and scratched their heads in confusion.

’Ever since Wu Yue took charge of those slaves, they haven’t acted like slaves at all. Not only do they work much more enthusiastically, but they don’t seem so timid and fearful anymore.’

’And now they even dare to shout so loudly within the tribe... Unbelievable...’

Although they thought this, the tribespeople simply continued with their work. No one went to reprimand the slaves.

That afternoon, Wu Yue specially asked Yuan Lang to hunt a wild boar. They had moved into their new house today, so it was only right to celebrate.

Plus, while she was away, Teng Qian and Teng Kun had built this beautiful and comfortable courtyard for her. A delicious meal was in order as a thank you.

Since she was hosting, her good friends Qingcao and Aya were naturally roped into helping. They were two conscripts who had volunteered quite willingly, however.

Yuan Lang had already dressed the large wild boar. The stove in the kitchen could hold two pots at once, and Wu Yue strongly suspected that those two foodies, Teng Qian and Teng Kun, had designed it that way on purpose.
