Faith Value

Cheng An exhaled through his nose. Hum, of course! He took out the meat himself, how could it disappear!

“Sit well. Let’s go and take a look.” Yu reminded Cheng An.

“Mm.” Cheng An lay down obediently, “I’m sitting well!”

Yu walked over, and the snow on the pile of beef was scraped away, revealing a little bright red, which looked very tempting.

Cheng An took a look and was completely relieved. Fortunately, the meat sent by the system was not packaged, otherwise he would have to explain it again.

Noticing Yu coming over, Shitou squeezed Xiao Hua to the side to make room for Yu.

Yu walked closer and observed carefully, and found that the meat looked red and white intertwined. He had never seen this kind of meat before. Could this be the “beef” given by the Beast God?

Forget it, don’t worry about it. No matter what kind of meat it is, as long as it can be eaten. With this meat, their tribe will have a much better winter this year.

 “Let’s dig more. An said there’s a lot of meat, and there should be more than what’s exposed.” Yu stood farther away to give Shitou and Xiao Hua room to work.

He was carrying Cheng An on his head, so it was not good for him to join in, otherwise Cheng An might fall down.

After all, in this cold winter, there was no place without snow for Cheng An to stay. The cub’s meat pads hadn’t grown yet, and if he stood in the snow, he would probably freeze in no time.

“Yu, don’t worry! Just leave it to me!” Shitou was full of confidence. After seeing the meat, he was more motivated than anyone else. This was real meat! No matter if it tasted good or not, this was meat that could fill their stomachs, so they just had to dig it up.

Xiao Hua was not willing to lag behind and worked hard.

Although there were only two beastmen working, they were incredibly efficient. After a while, they dug the area upside down and dug out all the meat.

Fortunately, Cheng An didn’t bury the meat too deep, so digging was not too difficult. 

“So much meat!” Xiao Hua’s eyes were about to sparkle as she looked at Cheng An.

The small meat mountain of beef piled together was still very shocking. Cheng An also had a deeper understanding of his luck during the novice protection period. Fortunately, the meat was not packaged and was just a pile of meat. Otherwise Cheng An would have a hard time explaining what wrapped the meat.

“Can we move all this meat?” Cheng An’s eyes moved between the meat mountain, Shitou and Xiao Hua. He found that the volume of the meat mountain was much larger than the two beastmen! The two of them definitely couldn’t move it all at once.

“I think we still have to go back and call some beastmen.” Cheng An finally came to a conclusion.

“I’ll go! I run faster! You wait for me here!” Shitou volunteered, and then ran away.

Cheng An watched Shitou run away, and found that when they were just wandering around the edge of the territory with him, they were completely slowing down for him!

 Cheng An was a little angry. Wait, he wanted to be the fastest beastman when he grew up.

Shitou really ran fast. After a while, he saw a snow leopard running from a distance, leading the other beastmen towards this side.

All the other beastmen who arrived were surprised by the pile of meat and discussed it in a flurry.

Finally, it was Yu who spoke up and stopped the discussion of the beastmen.

“Okay. It’s going to snow again soon, so don’t talk or discuss here. Everyone carry as much meat as they can and bring it back to the tribe to share the meat. This time, the meat was found by Priest An, who is the biggest contributor and should get the most meat. You didn’t contribute, so you can’t share the meat according to your status as a hunting team member as usual, but carrying the meat back is also a contribution, and you will get more meat than other people in the tribe.”

After Yu finished speaking, the beastmen cheered and tried to carry the meat back.

Cheng An also received a lot of open and covert gazes.

 Cheng An didn’t care about these. Just look, can he lose a piece of meat?

 The beasts were in high spirits. Even in the middle of winter, with snow falling, they still had smiles on their faces.

In the snowy season, the stone drums for dividing meat are rarely struck, but today, the beastmen and sub-beastmen sleeping in the cave clearly heard the stone drums!

The beastmen were still a little confused. Some brave beastmen and sub-beastmen pushed away the rocks that blocked the wind and snow and got out of the cave. They suddenly saw the hills of meat on the tribal square and their eyes widened! They rubbed their eyes repeatedly to confirm whether they were dreaming because they wanted to eat meat too much.

After confirming that they were not dreaming, the cold and lonely tribe seemed to be ignited. The beastmen ran around to tell each other that the meat was being divided! Everyone hurriedly wrapped themselves in animal skins to keep warm, or went to call their good friends, or went to the square to line up together, waiting for the meat to be divided.

Cheng An was still lying on Yu’s head, watching the tribe gradually become lively, and suddenly a strange sense of satisfaction surged in his heart.

 Is it because he is a priest?

Cheng An started poking the system when he had nothing to do, “457, what do you think is going on with me? Did you secretly give me some medicine, so I feel a psychological satisfaction from feeding the beastmen in the tribe?”

457: “…” Is the host’s brain circuit really normal?

“457 457, why don’t you say anything? Is your system legal? Did you secretly give me some mental poison? Make me addicted to this feeling? Then work hard for your infrastructure system and die in the end? Then you will recycle my soul, clean my memory and make me a system? No way? Or…”

Seeing that Cheng An’s speculation was getting more and more outrageous and he was also discrediting their system openly and secretly, 457 couldn’t stand it anymore and finally spoke out.

[Ding- Legal. The kind of thing you said will not happen. Please don’t think too much. ]

“Oh.” Cheng An calmed down after getting the answer.

 He lay on Yu’s head, watching Grandma Cao and Shitou divide the meat together. Every beastman who got the meat had a real happy smile on his face. When they learned that the meat was found by Cheng An, they would thank Cheng An from the bottom of their hearts.

Cheng An seemed to understand the satisfaction just now. Maybe it was the mentality of a breeder? Seeing the satisfaction of the beastmen in the tribe after getting the meat, he was also very happy.

What about Yu? Would he feel the same way?

Cheng An suddenly lowered his head to see Yu’s expression. But because of his position, he could not see Yu’s expression, but only saw Yu’s fluffy head.

Cheng An simply put his chin on it and rubbed it gently.

[Ding-Congratulations to the host for obtaining twelve points of faith value. The faith value section has been activated. Please keep up the good work.]

The system suddenly spoke, almost scaring Cheng An.

 After calming down, Cheng An asked the system in his heart, “What is faith value? What is it for?”

[Ding——Faith value refers to the degree of faith of the tribe members in you. When it reaches a certain level, it can be recorded as faith value, and one person is counted as faith value. Faith value can reflect the number of believers in your tribe. In addition, faith value can be converted into points, which can be circulated and used in the system mall. One point of faith value can be converted into one point. Do you want to convert it? ]

Cheng An was very vigilant, “Don’t convert it yet.” He still owes the system points! If he converts it, it will definitely be used by the system to pay off the debt.

“One person can be counted as faith value. If I remember correctly, there are about 60 to 70 people in our tribe, right? Why do I only have 12 points of faith value? I’m losing money!”

[Ding——Faith value requirements are strict. The beastmen’ favorability and loyalty to you must be above 90 before it can be counted as faith value. ]

“What is the full score?”

[Ding——One hundred points. ]

Cheng An felt much more comfortable this time.  “That’s not right. Since faith value is so hard to come by, how come one faith value is only one point? Is there anything wrong with your exchange system? And if I exchange faith value for points, will the beastmen’ faith favorability towards me still be there?”

［Ding——The exchange of faith value and points is one-to-one, and there is nothing wrong. In addition, faith value will not disappear after it is exchanged for points. You now have twelve faith value. If you want to exchange faith value for points, you will have twelve points, and your faith value will still be twelve. When your faith value increases to thirteen, if you want to exchange faith value for points again, you can only exchange for one point. Correspondingly, if your faith value, which was originally twelve, drops to eleven, one point will be deducted from you. ］

Cheng An understood that this is how faith value is used.

“I see, thank you 457. I don’t want to exchange faith value for points yet, so I’ll save it first.”

Cheng An secretly calculated in his heart that this faith value is not very useful, and points will be deducted if it drops, which is a bit of a pitfall.  Besides, the system mall has not been opened yet, so it is useless to convert it into points. He was afraid that as soon as it was converted into points, it would be used by the system to pay off debts. Let’s talk about it later!

The meat distribution has come to an end. There are not many beastmen in the square. Their first reaction after getting the meat is to go back to the cave to grill it or cook some broth.

Cheng An is no exception. It is really cold outside! He also wants to go back to the cave to cook meat!

“Yu, let’s go back to the cave too! I want to eat potatoes and meat! And barbecue!” Cheng An excitedly wagged his tail and went back to the cave!

“Wait for me! An, you promised me. I want to go to your cave to eat meat!” Shitou hurriedly followed.

“Come on, come on. Xiao Hua, come here quickly!” Cheng An did not forget to turn around and greet Xiao Hua.

Xiao Hua was very happy and followed closely.

Grandma Cao smiled and shook her head. Their priest and leader were still children after all, and they looked very lively.

 At first, she was worried that Yu would not get along with the little wolf cub, but now seeing how they are, her worry is unnecessary.

The old priest is right, the priest is the most important in the tribe. Grandma Cao believes that their tribe will get better and better with Cheng An.

Grandma Cao wiped the tools for dividing the meat and put them in the stone drum. Then she carried their meat on her back, “Let’s go, Tu. Let’s go back and cook the meat.”

Tu took the meat from Grandma Cao’s back without saying a word. Although he had a broken leg, he was still a beastman after all, and would not let his sub-beastmen carry the meat.

Grandma Cao supported Tu, who was limping, and walked towards their cave.

The beastmen in the square gradually dispersed, and they all went back to their caves to cook and eat.

Hot air with the aroma of meat wafted out of every household’s cave.

It is difficult for the beastmen to forget this day. Their priest brought them this rich and delicious meat during the snow season.

 This incredibly lucky day was actually just the beginning of a happy life that they had never imagined.
