Chapter 251 - Growing Out Seeds (1/2)

Parker was suspicious and looked at the surrounding pits. They were really dry.

“The weather’s warmer now, so the ape king should be giving out seeds soon. He’ll explain how to plant them.” The beastman then returned to his piece of land to turn the soil.

Parker rejoiced and felt at ease. The ape king’s method had always been extremely effective. With the ape king teaching them, he wouldn’t have to worry about failing to plant the seeds.

When Parker returned home after hunting, Curtis and Bai Qingqing had just managed to find all the little snakes that had been crawling about.

“You’re back?” Bai Qingqing waved to Parker. He quickened his footsteps and was about to speak when a long wolf howl sounded from the center of the City of Beastmen.

“Howl—”

Bai Qingqing also knew that this was the signal the ape king used to call out to females. She asked, “What is it again this time?”

Bai Qingqing pursed her lips and continued, “Doesn’t matter. I’m too lazy to go, anyway.”

Parker threw the prey on the ground with a thud and replied excitedly, “You have to go this time. He must be giving out the rice seeds.”

Parker only realized that the seeds were given out to the females when he asked his mother before returning home. Each female was entitled to one bowl of seeds, and males weren’t able to collect any if they went alone.

“Giving out seeds? He’s so generous?” Bai Qingqing exclaimed. “Are they free?”

“Yes.” Parker nodded firmly. He then continued proudly, “He gives out seeds every year. Only large villages enjoy such benefits. Isn’t it great in the City of Beastmen?”

Bai Qingqing nodded repeatedly. She couldn’t help but feel tempted even though they still had a bag mostly full of rice.

Those were seeds, seeds that could be used to grow lots of rice. Buying rice was simply too expensive.

Curtis was having an enjoyable time with Bai Qingqing and was extremely unhappy that Parker interrupted them. He grabbed Bai Qingqing’s hand and walked into the house. “Let’s go feed the little snakes.”

The little snakes hissed eagerly at the mention of food.

“Qingqing’s coming with me to collect the seeds,” Parker said as he followed behind them.
