Chapter 55: A Primitive Society Version of a Hospital?
Su Bai returned to the Teepee with the fox eared girl and sat down at the stone table, suddenly feeling like he had forgotten something.
“Shaman, do you want to rest a bit more?” Yu Ying came over with a cup of water, feeling a bit guilty for waking the Shaman so early in the morning.
“No need. I’ve slept enough already,” Su Bai gently said.
Speaking of sleep, he remembered that it was already the second day, and he had not checked in with the Daily Assistance System yet.
“Then, please call me if you need anything,” Yu Ying said softly, putting down the cup of water and preparing to get some fibres to twist into threads. She wanted to use the threads to sew animal hide clothes for the Shaman to change into.
“En,” Su Bai nodded, watching the fox eared girl turn to leave. In his mind, he instructed, [System, check in.]
[Ding! Check in successful.]
[Open it.][Ding! Congratulations, Host has received Low Grade Assistance: one sewing needle.]
As soon as Su Bai heard the message, he felt a slight coolness in his palm. Reflexively, he raised his hand to look. There, in his palm, lay a sewing needle. It was a large one, about five centimetres long.
He pinched the needle between two fingers and complained, “It’s really daily, even giving out a sewing needle.”“Well, this sewing needle has come at a good time. If I give it to Xiao Yu, she can sew a few linen clothes,” Su Bai quickly found a use for the sewing needle.
It was perfect timing. He did fee; that the animal hide clothes were a bit uncomfortable, especially when sleeping or sitting down. The vines at the joints always kept moving around.
The people of the Flame Dragon Tribe all had animal hide clothes connected with small vines, which were far from comfortable to wear. Grass ropes were not durable, breaking with just a little force. So, over time, everyone had started using vines.
*Swoosh!*
The Teepee door flap was lifted, and the fox eared girl came in with a small bunch of fibres.
“Xiao Yu, come here for a moment,” Su Bai beckoned.
“Coming,” Yu Ying quickly trotted over.
“Here. You should know how to use this, right?” Su Bai held out the sewing needle.
“This is…” Yu Ying blinked her pink eyes when her small hand took the sewing needle. Seeing the eye of the needle at the end, she immediately understood what it was for.
She excitedly exclaimed, “Shaman, this needle can be used to sew clothes.”
“It’s for you,” Su Bai gently said.
Yu Ying’s cheeks flushed red as she said with all her heart, “I will cherish it.”
“Good.” Su Bai smiled.
Yu Ying looked at Su Bai’s black eyes, especially that clean smile on his face. She immediately covered her face in embarrassment and ran away.
“How… interesting…” Su Bai smiled knowingly, joking to himself. [It’s worth coming to this primitive society just to tease this fox eared girl.]
He opened the inheritance box, laid everything out on the stone table again, and began making today’s Shaman Bone Tablet.
“The guidelines need to be more precise. Last night’s failure is probably partly due to the Shaman Rune not being drawn and carved out accurately enough,” Su Bai recalled the steps from last night, slowly analysing the mistakes he had made.
He once again used charcoal sharpened with the Red Tooth Knife and began drawing the guideline on the animal bone.
This time, it took twenty minutes to complete the guideline. He was clearly ten minutes faster than yesterday.
“That’s not right. How is it that I’ve improved so quickly?” Su Bai frowned. From what he knew of himself, his learning ability was not bad but it was not exceptional enough to improve this quickly.
He pondered for a while. The only difference from when he was on Earth was that he had become a Shaman.
“It seems like the Shaman Inheritance has developed my brain. Am I really going to become a genius?” Su Bai quickly accepted this hypothesis.
He shook off his wild thoughts and lowered his head to carve the animal bone with the Red Tooth Knife. He found that the feel and force control over his hands had clearly improved.
Time slowly passed as Su Bai methodically proceeded with making the Shaman Bone Tablet.
Having made a Shaman Bone Tablet yesterday meant that the impression of it was still strong. He was twenty minutes faster than yesterday in reaching the final step.
“This time, I need to infuse Mental Energy. It should be more difficult than yesterday,” Su Bai held the Beast Fur Brush soaked in reddish gold liquid.
He closed his eyes, adjusted his mind. He mobilised his Mental Energy and Shaman Power, and found controlling Shaman Power to be much easier.
Ten seconds later…
Su Bai finished it in one breath. He lowered his head to anxiously look at the Shaman Bone Tablet on the stone table. The Shaman Rune was now emitting an emerald green light.
A few seconds later, the emerald green light slowly receded, and the Shaman Bone Tablet lay quiet, without making any heartbreaking cracking sounds.
“Success!” Su Bai’s lips curled up as he gently put down the Beast Fur Brush. He immediately picked up the Shaman Bone Tablet to examine it.
He took out yesterday’s half-finished product from the box and compared them. He found that today’s Shaman Bone Tablet was more emerald green than the half-finished Shaman Bone Tablet from yesterday. The difference was between light green and emerald.
“As expected of a Shaman Bone Tablet with doubled the efficacy. It even looks more luxurious,” Su Bai mused.
He thought that having a Shaman Bone Tablet with the Curing Technique was a bit like having a personal doctor on Earth. If doctors on Earth were able to use the Curing Technique, the patient would be cured as soon as the doctor arrived.
“That’s a good idea,” Su Bai’s imagination ran wild as he muttered to himself, “If we train more Shamans, could we open a primitive society version of a hospital? Would many people come for treatment?”
He shook his head to dispel this impractical idea. There were simply too few Shamans. Unless someone ruled over all Tribes, there was little possibility of implementing this.
