Seeing Mu Xingchen staring blankly at the fire-starting stone, Zhan thought that Ya had found a bad stone, so he took it from him and looked at it carefully, and concluded, "This kind of stone can easily light a fire."

But I have never seen it! In fact, because the era he lived in was too far away from such a primitive society, there is no such record even in textbooks.

When Zhan handed the stone over, Mu Xingchen waved his hand quickly, "You light the fire."

Being looked at by his partner's expectant eyes, Zhan's spirits instantly became high. He quickly stuffed the wet branches into the crude stove, and then used his hands to dig out a fist-sized space at the bottom. He then grabbed a ball of dry hair that had just been shaved from the cub and placed it in front of him, rubbing it against the stone.

Mu Xingchen stared at Zhan's movements closely and saw that he just rubbed two stones for a while, sparks appeared on the stones and quickly ignited the dry hair. His eyes widened in surprise.

So magical!!!

Zhan grabbed the burning cub's hair and threw it into the small hole he had just dug at the bottom of the stove, "Alright."

"Is it ready now?" Mu Xingchen stared at the hair slowly burning under the stove, looked at the beastmen around him who were curiously staring at the stone pot, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "If it's so easy to light a fire, why not start a fire?"

The orcs looked at Mu Xingchen with puzzled eyes again, as if he had asked an extremely strange question.

Zhan was used to his partner's odd questions from time to time, so he held him in his arms and explained, "We only light a fire when we want to eat barbecue."

Mu Xingchen hadn't yet put himself into the orcs' mindset, so he subconsciously asked another question, "Don't they light a fire when it snows in winter?"

Although Mu Xingchen spoke to Zhan in a low voice, the orcs' hearing was so good that when they heard the question he asked, they gathered together and started whispering.

"Not only does this little guy have no tribe, he doesn't even know a lot of common sense. How did he survive to this age?"

When it comes to Mu Xingchen's tribe, the orcs feel uncomfortable and angry. They really can't understand why a tribe would abandon their precious cubs. How difficult it is for orcs to have a cub!

When Zhan told him that they didn't need a fire in winter because they had fur to keep warm, Mu Xingchen shut up. He also realized that his perspective on the problem was different from that of the orcs. Fire was just an optional thing for the orcs. No wonder they didn't think of building a fire even after it rained for so long.

Ahem... Of course he hadn't thought of it before.

The stove was set up in the driest place under the giant tree. Raindrops were still falling through the gaps between the leaves. In addition, the branches were wet, and now only the cub's hair was burning. Mu Xingchen was worried that if time went on for too long, this small fire would be extinguished by the rain, so he quickly called Zhan to find the items needed to build the shed.

Mu Xingchen didn't feel comfortable calling the other orcs, but when the orcs saw that they were about to go out again, they all stood up out of curiosity and expressed their willingness to help.

"Well, Naya, keep an eye on the fire and don't let it go out."

Ya, who was forced to stay behind, nodded weakly.

Fortunately, the system has listed all the things needed to build a shed, and with the help of Zhan's protagonist aura, he quickly got back a lot of vines and thick tree trunks and branches with the help of the orcs.
