I Became The Chief of A Primitive Village

The Sun was incredibly fierce, making the wooden houses of the Flame Dragon Tribe appear as if they were coated in a layer of golden dust.

Su Bai opened his black eyes and sat up, complaining, “This wooden pillow is really killing me.”

He reached to massage his neck. Over the past few days sleeping at the Ancestral Land, he had not been able to comfortably adjust his sleeping position. Every time he tried to adjust, he would wake up in a daze, mainly because the pillow was so uncomfortable.

“I definitely need to improve this situation in the future,” Su Bai muttered to himself as he poured himself a cup of water at the table.

Today was the fourth day of his stay at the Ancestral Land. The fox eared girls should be arriving soon.

[Before Xiao Yu arrives, I should open up all the Assistance Packages.] Su Bai thought to himself. [System, check in and open the Assistance Packages.] Su Bai called out to the System in his mind.

[Ding! Congratulations Host, check in successful!]

[Ding! Congratulations, Host has received Low Grade Assistance: one pack of wheat seeds.]

Su Bai could not be happier seeing the pack of wheat seeds appear on the table. His lips curved into a smile as he celebrated in his mind, [Finally I’ve got wheat seeds! I can finally have wheat porridge!]

Although he had been longing for rice, as he had eaten it all his life, he could not be picky now. Having wheat was already quite good. At least it was a staple food.

Su Bai patted the wheat seeds, showing gratitude. [This came at just the right time. System, please open another Assistance Package.]

[Ding! Congratulations, Host has received Low Grade Assistance: one solar-powered desk lamp.]

Su Bai looked at the lamp on the table and said with satisfaction, “Not bad, a desk lamp will definitely be brighter than a fruit oil lamp.”

He had not been worried about straining his eyes while staying up late to make Shaman Bone Tablets or doing some planning, as his Physique had been constantly improving, so he naturally was not too concerned about this issue. Still, having a lamp was still far better than using fire. It was brighter and much more comfortable. He also would not have to keep his head down all the time to get a clearer view of what he was doing.

“Not bad. Not bad at all,” Su Bai was very satisfied and continued to call out in his mind, [System, open the third Assistance Package.]

[Ding! Congratulations, Host has received Low Grade Assistance: one quilt.]

Su Bai put the quilt aside and thought, [The weather is so hot that I can’t use it for now, but this is great once things start to cool down.]

The quilt was two metres long and equally wide, making it quite a large quilt.

[System, continue opening the Assistance Packages] Su Bai called out in his mind.

Since leaving the Tribe and coming to the Ancestral Land, he had accumulated eight Assistance Packages. He had originally planned to open them two days ago, but he wanted to accumulate more to make the opening more satisfying. Besides, he planned on what to do over the past few days, so he had put it off.

[Ding! Congratulations, Host has received Low Grade Assistance: one herbal encyclopaedia.]

Su Bai flipped through the book that appeared out of thin air, excited and thinking to himself, [This book came at just the right time!]

He knew that Shaman Power was limited and could not be used continuously. It also needed to be saved for emergencies.

For minor injuries and ailments, herbs could be used instead. Having this comprehensive herbal encyclopaedia would be very convenient. He could collect herbs based on the illustrations in the book and use them to make pain relievers, hemostatic powders, and the likes.

This would greatly reduce the consumption of Shaman Power, and these remedies could be used by ordinary people as well, rather than having to rely solely on Shaman Bone Tablets.

[With this book, we can start planning the construction of a hospital and the training of medical staff!] Su Bai planned silently in his mind.

He browsed through the book for a while and found that many of the plants were unfamiliar to him, seemingly to not exist on Earth. [I guess these are plants unique to this era. Great. This will make finding them much easier.]

“Resolute Grass combined with White Peach Grass can treat nosebleeds?” Su Bai mumbled as he flipped through the book, “How come I’ve never heard of these two plants?”

He browsed through the book for a while and discovered that many of the plants were ones he had never heard of or seen before. Moreover, many of the plants had effects he had never heard of, such as treating nosebleeds, red eyes, constant drooling, and other strange ailments.

Su Bai flipped through it for a few minutes before setting it aside, planning to read it more carefully later in the evening.

He put down the book and continued to call out in his mind, [System, open another Assistance Package.]

[Ding! Congratulations, Host has received Low Grade Assistance: one glass manufacturing guide.]

Another book appeared in Su Bai’s hands, not very thick or large, just a small volume.

He flipped through the book and exclaimed in surprise, “I can’t believe there’s a book like this! This will be really helpful.”

Su Bai had been pondering over what to do about the windows for the houses just two days ago.

He had planned to leave spaces for a few windows, using wooden sticks and large leaves as makeshift windows. He had not expected the System to provide a book on glass manufacturing, which was truly a godsend.

[‘Glass is an amorphous inorganic non-metallic material, mainly made from various inorganic minerals…] Su Bai read a bit and then closed the book. [This is a bit complicated. I’ll leave this aside for now. I’ll study it carefully tonight.]

He saw that the book was filled with dense technical terms and diagrams of materials. It was enough to make one drowsy just looking at it. After all, he was not an expert in this field, so he had to set aside time to slowly study it.

[System, continue opening the Assistance Packages] Su Bai continued to call out in his mind.

[Ding! Congratulations, Host has received Low Grade Assistance: one bottle of shampoo.]

Su Bai looked at the familiar bottle of shampoo that appeared in his hand and smiled, [Well, I certainly didn’t expect to be able to use such a familiar shampoo after coming here.]

He had not used shampoo to wash his hair for several days and could feel dandruff starting to form.

The shampoo came at just the right time; his hair could finally not be oily anymore.

[Not bad. System, continue opening the Assistance Packages.] Su Bai continued to call out in his mind.

[Ding! Congratulations, Host has received Low Grade Assistance: One pack of tea leaves.]

Su Bai weighed the tea leaves in his hand and commented. [I’ve been waiting for this. It’s finally here.]

Just a few days after arriving in the Primitive Tribe, he had started missing Earth’s tea, not for any other reason but because tea could help cut through the greasiness of the food here.

In the Tribe, he had been eating so much meat every day that he was getting sick of it, even starting to resist eating meat.

At that time, he had thought how nice it would be to have some tea to help with the greasiness. That way, he would not have to drink plain water all the time.

Back on Earth, he had been very fond of drinking tea, often brewing his own tea every few days.

“I’ll definitely be drinking tea tonight!” Su Bai said with a smile.
