Chapter 138: They Don't Shine Too Bright

In the end, my colonists had to pay 40 silvers more than the previous agreement. The group leader from Acornhull smiled in satisfaction, while his men looked annoyed that they had more baggage. They only have one horse, after all.

I then checked Kat's stats.

This girl's animal stat now gets two stars, huh? After Rox's death, your love for animals has increased, Kat?

"So, we have a little money left, right?" Manu rubs his chin.

Seb turned his head to Kat, who was rubbing the brown horse's head and patting the white dog at the same time.

"No problem." The blonde-haired man chuckled. "The important thing is that Kat is happy. She looks devastated after Rox's death."

"Really?" Manu frowned. "I didn't see...." The bearded man cleared his throat.

You were going to say Kat didn't show that on her face, Manu?

"This horse is Rix." Kat was still stroking her two new pets. "This dog is Rex."

"Don't you have the creativity to come up with a name, Kat." Manu shook his head.

Seb chuckled again, then sighed, gazing in the direction the group from the Acornhull tribe had left. "Well, unfortunately they don't sell food crop seeds."

"Didn't you save our seeds by bringing them here?" Manu responds.

The blonde-haired man shook his head. "It's not like that, it's just…. Ah, I'm having a hard time explaining it. Basically, I want to grow more food crops. Well, so that if one or many want to rob us, at least we can invite them to eat together and persuade them. If they have full stomachs, they will definitely listen to us more."

What the fuck are you saying, Seb?

Manu narrows his eyes. "You mean you want to be able to keep your food reserves hidden in case someone robs us, right? Then, we can sell them later when the ingredients are close to expiration and we have enough stock from harvest."

"Oh, that's what I meant." Seb scratched his hair, looking confused.

Why are you confused by your own words, Sebastian Buttman? Is it possible that the joke generator in this game glitcher, which makes Seb say a strange set-up for jokes?

"You could have gone to my former tribe to buy those seeds, Seb." Leva, who just woke up, yawned and stretched her body. "They must have stocked up a lot."

"How about we catch up with the group and ask if they have any food crop seeds?" Seb scratched his head again. "Why am I only thinking about this now?"

Everyone fell silent. Kat tossed a branch far away, but Rex, the white dog, just tilted his head at his new master.

"Are you very sure that your former tribe keeps the seeds of plants, Leva?" Manu asks.

Leva nodded her head. "Definitely.... Ah, since I haven't been with them for a long time, it's probably a high possibility.... Maybe?" The woman grimaced, scratching her head. "Well, I'm not really sure."

Why are my colonists so dumb today?

"So, the question is, who will go there?" I asked my colonists with growing irritation. "Kat can't do it because she has to hunt. Neither can Seb because he can't defend himself. And it would be foolish for Manu to go there, because maybe some of the Redtooth's residents still think he was one of the causes of the expedition to the salt cave..."

My tongue suddenly felt stiff. Why am I also dumb? Why should I ask my colonists? Why not just say that only Eric and Leva can go?

Well, even though Leva had a bad history with Redtooth, I had no other choice. I don't want to send just one person to Redtooth. I want whoever is leaving can take care of each other. Who knows, there will be another Biruhud bird that will get rid of Eric's dick. I've been playing this game for a long time. I decided that asking my colonists to go alone would be a stupid choice.

"Why do I think that it will be Eric and Leva that will depart?" Now Manu is scratching his head.

Seb also scratched his head for the umpteenth time. "I think so too."

Leva snorted, also scratching her head.

Because of them, I had to resist the urge to scratch my head too.

***

That morning, there was little snow left on the ground. I can also smell the earth mixed with water.

"Ouch!" Eric flinched as Manu poked him in the waist with a stick. "What are you doing!?"

Manu replied with gritted teeth. "You stay there, I'm trying my best not to kill you because of my brain gone wrong."

"What the fuck are you talking about!?" Eric dodged the man's second thrust. "Hey!"

This should be a scary and sad thing, but why did it become a comedy like this? Yesterday, something like this also happened with my colonists scratching their heads. Is it because of the new update? This is the answer from game developers from the advice of people who say don't make this game too gloomy?

"Are you guys ready?" Seb asked as he slung his sack over his shoulder.

"Hey, you guys stop! We're leaving soon!" Leva snapped at the two people who were fighting. Manu keeps trying to poke Eric, but Seb's son keeps holding him back. "You want both of you to flick your dick until it swells up!?"

Manu immediately stopped and put his hands behind his back. Yes, he behaved like Leva would totally do that to him.

"So, we part here." Seb flashed a smile. However, that smile looked different than usual. I can feel a bit of sadness from him. "Hopefully we'll all make it to our respective destinations. And both of you will be safe when you return to our homes, Eric, Leva."

After waving to each other, they parted ways. Kat, Seb, and Manu started walking with the horse and dog they had just bought yesterday.

However, Eric stayed where he was, looking at his former colony's house. Leva, who was already a few meters ahead, just waited in silence.

Sighing, the man finally started walking. "Let's go."
