"What is self-sufficiency...I'm not pretending to be stupid, I really don't know the word you are talking about..."
"Can you support yourself through the output of the fields and Clockwork Cat Dumplings?"
…
When the giant cats were conquering the entire small plane, Jiang Han carefully studied the cat puppet clan. From it, he could also get some knowledge about the Ancer elves, which could enrich his knowledge and, more importantly, understand Ancer's habits.
The facts were as she expected.
The cat puppet tribe is a race that is barely self-sufficient. They can completely support themselves, and their simple handicraft skills allow them to make their own clothes. They also have their own culture, and there is also the so-called "riding a clockwork cat"
Combat] ability, which is the so-called 'Clockwork Cat Knight', let's not mention this for now.
The Ancer elves turned them into a colony-like existence by sheltering them, changing the weather for them, and providing finished goods.
But it does not destroy the ecology of the cat puppet tribe.
Although the overall physical fitness of the cat puppets has dropped a lot, they have received extremely useful stability. The mortality rate of the entire cat puppet tribe has dropped greatly. As an immortal race, the original number of the cat puppets was only one thousand to two thousand.
In recent years, the number of people has reached 10,000 to 20,000. This is due to Anser's contribution.
Although it is said that the purpose is to squeeze.
But I have to admit that the Anser elves are good at slavery, not much worse than the witches.
"...You are saying that you have a profession like Clockwork Cat Knight?"
Jiang Han pondered this matter with great interest, and then asked a little unconvincingly:
"Are you sure you know what a career is?"
Occupations are similar to the use of rules to gain growth and gain strength from this kind of 'enlightenment'. For example, witches have many basic occupations, among which Jiang Han also serves as the cat lantern witch.
It is the development and application of various rules.
In simpler terms, it is like an industrial chain with complete processes, but the end of this industrial chain is an unknown void, and you need to continue to go down and open up a new path.
The little girl from the cat puppet tribe, Fa Yaya, was obviously a little angry, but she did not dare to lose her temper at the witch. She could only swell her face in grievance and respond seriously:
"It's what you call a profession. The Clockwork Cat Knight can gain power similar to runes, and can become more powerful by strengthening his Clockwork Cat... Ugh, he just can't defeat that kind of super large cat... ah
!That’s right, that’s right…”
She spilled the beans.
Jiang Han guessed that what Fa Yaya wanted to say was that the giant cat could not be defeated.
She laughed:
"Of course it's impossible. The giant cat lantern is theoretically a legendary creature among cats. Even ordinary legendary creatures cannot be their opponent at all."
"Whoa!"
Fa Yaya obviously didn't expect that there would be such a powerful cat dumpling in the world, and the expression of surprise was vividly displayed on the little porcelain doll-like face.
"But isn't the clockwork cat scared?"
Jiang Han asked curiously:
"If according to what you said, your clockwork cat knight often attacks those lions..."
She pointed to an object that was turned into a lion by a giant cat lamp on a tree, and continued to the shivering Fayaya:
"The size difference is almost three to four times. Wouldn't a clockwork cat be afraid?"
"They are not afraid!"
Fa Yaya asked proudly and a little strangely:
"Aren't all cat dumplings like this? Although they are small, they dare to fight against extremely large creatures. As long as we cat puppets ride on wind-up cats, we dare to fight against all kinds of ferocious monsters...witches are not included.
!And this huge cat doesn’t count!”
The clockwork cat seemed to have a "high morale" that the cat lantern did not have, which made the two giant cats widen their eyes, meow angrily, and use the tree to sharpen their claws.
He was probably muttering something, ‘Meow Ao doesn’t have low morale, Meow Ao knows how to assess the situation!’.
…
There are many similarities between the clockwork cat and the cat lamp, but the differences are worlds apart.
For example, Clockwork Cat's morale is [High Morale].
For another example, unless they are tamed (or contracted as partners), clockwork cats are so lazy that they don’t even want to move at night, and their laziness seems to be a kind of work... They will be lazy about two days a week, and the other five days
The normal meow meows and goes about its activities.
…
Collecting various clockwork cats along the way, Jiang Han asked Fa Yaya to explain them, and even made a serious 'deal' with them.
"Hey! Is it for me?"
Looking at the witch's gold coin lying quietly in the palm of Jiang Han's hand, Fa Yaya looked shocked.
After being shocked, he stared at Jiang Han's face suspiciously.
…
"Yeah, I'm giving it to you. Although it's not much, it's the basic salary included in the standard salary."
Jiang Han smiled and put his hand over.
Although I feel sorry for the extra money spent, it is a necessary method.
In the earliest times, the way to tame creatures was as it is now, giving valuable things when they do something right, and scolding them when they do something wrong... Although the cat puppets are an intelligent race, the creatures have this kind of instinct.
【Achieve exchange/work for it】
As long as you do this, you will relax your vigilance, which is normal.
When you realize that "I am working for her", you will naturally feel a sense of peace of mind.
Like a sense of security.
Cheap but useful.
Fa Yaya took the gold coins from Jiang Han's hands and looked at them carefully:
"Wow, is it real gold?"
"A commemorative coin made by mixing trace amounts of witch gold and a unique alloy. We rarely use this kind of currency. We all use banknotes, checks, or transfers."
Jiang Han took out his wallet and showed it to Fa Yaya.
Unsurprisingly, I saw the little girl from the cat puppet tribe looking curious and interested.
"We use this most of the time. Banknotes with clearly marked prices are watermarked with a trace amount of specific dragon skin. It is absolutely impossible to be imitated...well, basically it cannot be imitated."
Jiang Han is not sure. With the skills of witches like Irene and Anjie, they should be able to make counterfeit banknotes... However, each banknote will have a unique verification code. Even if Irene and the others make counterfeit money on a whim, they will be caught.
The verification code is the only way to reject the entry.
The reason why Jiang Han wasn't sure was because magic power is omnipotent, and the omnipotent magic power might be able to do such a thing, although the witch would definitely not do this based on her moral values.
"Don't you have any currency?"
Jiang Han asked in a [curious tone].
This kind of communication can effectively reduce the sense of distance.
Fa Yaya shook her head and nodded:
"We use Ancerite, a special small stone, as currency. But the value of that currency is too high, so we usually use sweet crystals as exchange, um, and potions knocked out by cats.
Stones, and various special effects trees and fruits.”
As they chatted, Jiang Han opened up Fayaya's heart step by step.
After they conquered this small world, Fayaya has become a loyal "witch supporter" and can't wait to join the witch system.
"Can we get money to buy clothes too?"
"no problem."
"Cat lanterns... can they also be bought and sold?"
"Meow, it's the purchase and sale of employment rights. Most cat lanterns only need to eat and drink before they can be hired."
