Chapter 16: One of the Best Feature

[Mineral detector - Leva has the ability to detect minerals around her.]

Awesome. This is definitely much better than useless hidden traits like Seb's. So, what did you find, my dear Leva?

Leva walked over to a large rock the size of a car. She looked behind the rock and picked up something: a much smaller rock, half the size of a human hand, and dark brown in color.

[Fire Stone]

That's all the information? So, should I or rather my colonists find a use for this stone? Hmmm... Maybe former tribe members like Manu and Leva already know its use. It's better to just take the stones to the colony.

A few meters away, Leva picked up the same rock. This time it's smaller. The woman looked at the two objects, in turn, smiling.

We just hit the jackpot, huh?

[Minerals can't only be obtained by being found like this. Your colonists will have to dig up the cliffs to find other minerals.]

I looked up at the dark gray cliff in the distance. Maybe next time, I'll ask Leva to check the place out if she already has a pickaxe.

After I ordered her, Leva walked out carrying the branches and stones. However, her steps stopped when she discovered something else.

Since I was focused on the rocks and cliffs, I didn't notice a grove of trees with broad and long leaves located some distance from Leva. The trunk of that tree is light green and definitely not wood.

Wild bananas, as tropical fruit, are in the same land with berries that are not. This game developer likes to mix things up, huh? If they were asked about this, I'm sure they would say because it's all just a game, or this isn't real Earth, so they have some freedom about the setting.

Well, I'm not someone who would object to something like that, anyway. Most importantly, my colonists have a new food source.

Maybe I can move some shoots from this tree near my colony so that Seb can take care of them later? My colonists could have another source of food.

Maybe later. Now there is something more urgent.

"Bring some banana from the trees and some ot the leaves to your colony. Bring as much as you can." I gave an instruction. "Ah, use those leaves as your clothes too."

Leva half ran up to the clump of trees, put down the branches and stones she was carrying, then did as I ordered. Like before, she had a hard time picking the fruit and leaves from the tree.

I stared at the word 'Plant' with a plus sign flashing above her head. Well, consider this an exercise so that later you can help Seb grow crops, Leva.

Unfortunately, the bananas looked unripe. They were still very green. However, if Kat didn't bring any results from today's hunting, it meant that later and tomorrow, my colonists would be short of food. I just wish one of them knew how to cook raw bananas.

I used the fast forward button again. Leva looked so irritated but managed to collect the leaves and fruit in the end.

"Errrrr....." Leva flipped through one of the leaves and scratched her head. I immediately smacked my forehead at the absurd scene.

I forgot, Leva can't craft. That means she can't make makeshift clothes out of the leaves. So, the woman was forced to go home still naked, showing her vagina and nipples.

Damnit. I really want to treat her properly. A woman as beautiful as her shouldn't be walking around naked like someone out of their mind.

I canceled my intention to order Leva to go home because the woman's gesture changed again. She seemed to be swallowing saliva while holding a bunch of bananas. Her eyes also opened a little bit more, and her hand stroked her stomach.

I forgot that she hadn't eaten yet. It was past noon. This woman's stomach must be rumbling.

And the trip to the colony still took a long time.

I grimaced at my female colonist. Should I let her starve until she arrives at the colony? Or will eating raw bananas make her more tormented?

Maybe she had already guessed that the taste of the fruit would not be good, so she didn't take the initiative to eat it.

So, she awaits my decision?

"Yeah, you just eat it." I hissed.

With a stutter like someone who hasn't eaten in days, Leva peeled the one banana, then put a lot of it in her mouth.

Furthermore, what I saw was one of the most powerful features of this game. Leva's eyes narrowed almost shut. The skin around her eyes shriveled up violently, and her mouth protruded like that of a duck's.

I laughed. It was one of the funniest shit I've ever seen. Kudos to the developers who can make the characters of this game very expressive.

Despite what happened, Leva still ate the banana. I laughed louder. Maybe in real life, I would have a stomach ache. With a face like that, the signs of her beauty are invisible.

***

Kat returned to her colony with no results at all. Manu, resting after cutting down many trees, sighed when he saw the girl approaching.

"Great. Tomorrow, we will starve." The man snorted, apparently more to himself. There was no one nearby.

I just arrived to check on the condition of my other colonists and immediately wanted to beat up the bearded man. You really don't like Leva joining your group, do you?

Some distance away, Seb stopped his farming activities to see Leva's arrival in the distance. The woman seemed to have trouble carrying the branches, broad leaves, and bananas.

"Help them, you idiots!" I was agitated to see my three colonists just standing there dumbfounded.

"This...." Manu looked amazed when he finally helped Leva, of course after I gave him orders. "Milk twigs! This is what we really need to make a better shelter!"

"Are these bananas ripe yet?" Seb looked at some of the bananas in his arms.

"No, it doesn't taste good either. However, if we grill it.... Well, at least it doesn't taste too offensive." Manu answered, then crouched down next to Leva, who was now sitting. "Forgive me for doubting you."

"No problem. The first impression I gave you guys was really bad." Leva sneered and held out the two brown stones she was holding. "Oh yeah, I almost forgot about this."

A smile grew on Manu's lips. "Ah, with this we won't have any trouble making a fire. Thank you, Leva."

"I also thank you." Seb smiled too.

Leva looked the other way and said in a lazy tone. "I didn't do much."

Meanwhile, Kat was already sitting some distance away from the three of them. The girl was observing the bark quiver that Manu had just made.
