Chapter 75: Chapter 74: Reeled In

The Beast God hadn’t expected the young female to be so capable. Anyone else, even with the help of a foreign system, would have found it difficult to lead Puchang City to such a stunning victory with so few losses!

As the Beast God, it wasn’t that he couldn’t have warned the Beastmen in advance. But gods have their own principles; they don’t easily interfere in the affairs of Beastmen unless someone prays to them, and only then can he respond in a limited way.

He had worried himself sick over protecting the Beastmen and ensuring their propagation and survival. He saw their struggles and felt their anxiety, but there was little he could do.

“Si Shuo, you have done very well this time. Is there anything you wish to pray to me for?”

Si Shuo was in the middle of figuring out how to distribute rewards to the Beastmen. Hearing this, she paused for a moment, her eyes curving into a smile. ’There’s no way I’m turning down a reward that comes knocking on my door.’

Her eyes darted thoughtfully as she asked, “Beast God, since Beastmen have the superpower to Teleport to specific points, could you open Teleportation channels between the Central Continent and the other continents?

To be blunt, the disaster in Puchang City happened because everyone yearns for the Central Continent but only learned things superficially, without understanding how to adapt to their own circumstances.

But there’s no denying that the Central Continent is now basically self-sufficient. They just need to keep clearing out the Wild Beasts in the Border City District.

Puchang City was also originally formed by the merger of several tribes. If they hadn’t excessively imitated the Central Continent, their development would have been quite good.”

The Beast God let out a low chuckle. “Si Shuo Divine Female, do you really think this is feasible?”

’Of course not,’ Si Shuo knew in her heart. This was a monumental matter. How could such a massive change, connecting the entire Beast World Continent, happen just because she asked?

“Why wouldn’t it be? The Beast God could at least consider it. Weren’t you the one who asked what I wished for?

I was just thinking that once I get to the Central Continent, I could start a small, peaceful life of farming and weaving, maybe open a shop to sell some rare goods from all corners of the world.

How am I supposed to do business if you don’t open up the channels? I can’t just have Ji Liang follow Xu Lie, making one round trip a year between the Central Continent and the other continents, can I?”

Si Shuo said this with righteous conviction.

The Beast God finally understood. She was presenting him with an impossible request first, only to take a step back and propose what she really wanted, forcing his hand!

“Alright, how about this? In light of you saving nearly two hundred thousand Beastmen in Puchang City and making a great contribution to the survival of the Beastmen of the Southern Beast World, I will grant each of your Beast Husbands the ability to choose one superpower.”

“Does that include future Beast Husbands and my cubs?”

The Beast God fell silent again. ’This young female really knows how to push her luck, and she’s even feigning ignorance while haggling!’

He replied through gritted teeth, speaking forcefully as if to prevent himself from backing out, “Yes! Any Beast Husband who partners with you and any cubs you bear will not only be able to Teleport to you, but will also be able to choose an additional superpower!”

Si Shuo clapped her hands. “Deal! This way, my cubs and I can Teleport to each other too. In the future, no matter where my cubs go, they can always come back to visit their dear old mom.”

The Beast God couldn’t help but facepalm. ’She’s completely played me.’ For Si Shuo, this was an unexpected bonus.

The words had been spoken. The Beast God clutched his chest and nodded. “Yes, for the rest of your life, your descendants will possess these two privileges. Alright, from now on, do not summon me again unless it is a matter of life and death!”

“But you were the one who popped up on your own to reward me based on my merits,” Si Shuo muttered. ’The Beast God appreciates me deep down but has to put on airs. I get it.’

’Sigh, speaking of which, I really am pretty great. What does it mean to turn the tide?

My outstanding Beast Husbands and I did just that!’

The thought excited her. Ever since she’d learned of the Beast Tide, her mind hadn’t stopped working. She had held onto the belief that victory was the only option, but in truth, none of them had been confident. They simply refused to think about the consequences of failure.

The Beast God unilaterally severed his connection with her. ’That young female’s skin is getting thicker and thicker, boasting right to my face.’

Si Shuo continued to inspect the rewards in the instance’s temporary storage. They were roughly divided into three parts: one part was assigned to specific Beastmen, going to whoever landed the kill; another part was for the cost of the defensive fortifications, to be shared equally among every Beastman who contributed; and the last part was from Fierce Beasts that died in the stampede, which was unassigned.

Helping to resolve the Beast Tide didn’t mean she was a saint who would work for free. Therefore, Si Shuo took a ten-percent cut as payment for herself and her Beast Husbands, depositing it into her Sumeru Space.

Ten percent of over 3.7 million Fierce Beasts amounted to more than 370,000 packages.

The crowd saw Si Shuo close her eyes in silence for a moment before she picked up the Purple Sound Spirit Shell and said with a smile:

“Gong You earned the most rewards. Since we’ll be heading to the Central Continent, it would be inconvenient to carry everything, so I asked the Beast God to let us retrieve our rewards once we get there. The same goes for my other Beast Husbands.”

Gong You, wielding a devastatingly powerful Crossbow that used Crystal Stones for energy and coordinating it with his Time Law, had spent the past three or four days of the battle doing nothing but slaying Fierce Beasts. He only took breaks to recharge his energy, eat, and rest when he was with her. When he rested, the other males would take the Crossbow and continue the hunt.

They also preferred to target High Level Fierce Beasts. It could be said that they took care of half of all the Level 6 and above Fierce Beasts.

In the instance’s temporary storage, over 250,000 Fierce Beasts had been reaped by her valiant Beast Husbands!

All told, she and her husbands had acquired a total of 630,000 Fierce Beasts, filling their Sumeru Space to eighty percent capacity…

Si Shuo smiled and continued, “Next, we’ll distribute everyone’s rewards. Will all Beastmen who killed a Fierce Beast during the Beast Tide please make sure you have plenty of space around you. Just don’t go beyond Five Beasts of the Pu Chang City Wall. It would be best to partner up with people you know to help watch over things and make transport easier… After you receive your rewards, don’t rush off. Besides these, there will also be a raffle for all the Beastmen who participated in building the defensive fortifications…

Beastmen who receive a package, don’t be in a hurry to open it! The package has a preservation function that lasts for three months. Once opened, the effect disappears, and the meat inside will spoil easily if not eaten promptly…”

The Beastmen now had complete trust in her. Treating her as a Servant conveying the Beast God’s will, they were exceptionally obedient, each finding a good spot to stand.

About half an hour later, once Si Shuo saw that everyone had spread out, she waved her hand. Large packages materialized out of thin air next to every Beastman who had killed a Fierce Beast. They were wrapped in smooth, glossy Beast Skins and contained the corresponding beast sinew, fresh meat, Crystal Stones, and more. The system had processed everything cleanly, removing impurities. Even the No Grade items were of a quality comparable to the Third and Fourth Levels of Fierce Beasts they usually hunted.

A single Fierce Beast was enormous, with astonishing Combat Power when enraged. Most of the Beastmen had killed them through sneak attacks with ranged weapons.

For a High-level Beastman following the advance of the Beast Tide, a harvest of three or four days’ work amounted to more than sixty Fierce Beasts, enough to form a small hill when piled up!

The crowd was absolutely ecstatic. The Beast Tide had receded, and they were still receiving such lavish rewards! Their cheers and shouts were loud enough to overturn the heavens.

Si Shuo was grateful for the system’s user-friendly design. If she had to call out names one by one, a task she couldn’t delegate, she would have been utterly exhausted, even with her Healing Ability.
