Chapter 979, What Reward Do You Want?
Translator: Silavin
“System, check in and receive the Assistance Package.” Su Bai called out to the System in his heart.
<Ding! Congratulations Host, check in successful.>
<Ding! Congratulations Host received Low Grade Assistance: an exquisite whetstone.>
The corners of Su Bai’s mouth twitched a few times. He helplessly said, “Alright then. Although whetstones are everywhere, what the System produces is always good.”
He could only comfort himself this way. Otherwise, expecting the System to always have good items every day? That was not realistic.
After all, he had only obtained Flame Manipulation not long ago. He should be content.
He got up, went to the dining room to finish breakfast, and prepared to go to the lab to see Co Co’s research results.
*Creak!*
Su Bai first knocked on the door, then slowly pushed open the door. Originally, he had wanted to wait for the other party to respond before opening it, but the other party had not given a response for quite a while.
He immediately understood that the other party must be absorbed in research, which was why she had not heard the knocking outside.
“What are you working on so intently?” Su Bai said gently.
He deliberately slowed his footsteps as much as possible, and his voice was as quiet as possible, in order not to suddenly startle the other party.
“Ah. Greetings Shaman, you’ve come.” Co Co immediately prepared to stand up.
She truly had not heard. Her golden eyes had been continuously looking at the materials on the table.
Co Co’s breakfast had been specially delivered to her by Yu Ying. Originally, Yu Ying had wanted to put it down, wait for the other party to finish eating, then come back to clear it away.
Who knew Co Co would drink the millet porridge in one go, and those fried wild chicken eggs were even more quickly dispatched in one bite.
“It’s fine. Sit down. How far along is the research on currency notes?” Su Bai pressed on the other party’s shoulder, making her sit down.
Co Co sat down somewhat embarrassedly, her cheeks slightly flushed as she said, “Shaman, the currency note research already has some headways. You’ve come at just the right time. You can inspect it.”
Co Co’s research was already almost complete. Originally, she had been planning to report on her work in the afternoon and wanted to continue refining it a bit more.
“Oh? So fast? Tell me about it.” Su Bai said lightly.
It had only been a few days. He felt Co Co’s progress was quite good.
“It’s all because of the Shaman’s paper-making techniques, and the cooperation of others. Otherwise, it truly would not have been this fast.” Co Co smiled embarrassedly.
Indeed, the Tribe’s workshops had been very cooperative with her, and the Tribe’s people would also do their utmost to satisfy the things she needed.
This also saved Co Co the time of constantly searching for materials. For this, she had even made a special trip to the papermaking workshop to see exactly how paper was made.
Of course, this was mainly also for researching currency notes. It had also been with Su Bai’s permission. Otherwise, she would not dare go to these forbidden areas.
However, it was precisely because she had gone to the papermaking workshop that many things she had not understood before were instantly comprehended.
It could be said she fundamentally understood paper production, and thus could control the quality of the usable raw materials.
“As long as it can bring currency notes into the world, going to see the workshops is a small matter.” Su Bai smiled lightly.
“Shaman, first look at these sheets of paper and see whether they match the quality of currency notes in your mind.” Co Co immediately took out these past few days’ results from the drawer.
Her daily routine was running between two points, the lab and the workshops. Research results were all tightly locked in the drawer.
She had even locked it with a padlock. That lock was one Su Bai had obtained from the System. Co Co even kept the key hidden close to her body.
“The quality of these few sheets of paper is indeed quite good. This one won’t do. It’s a bit too thick and heavy. If you haven’t even taken out a few currency notes yet, wouldn’t your hands already be holding a thick stack?” Su Bai eliminated the first sheet, then began looking at the subsequent papers. He looked at four or five sheets before seeing one he was satisfied with.
“This one is quite good. Look, the thickness is just right, and the toughness is also very good.” Su Bai put a bit of water on it, observed it for a while, then continued, “Moreover, the water resistance is also very good. Even when wet, there is not the slightest impact. This is the best raw material for paper.”
He was genuinely excited for a moment. After researching for so long, he had finally seen good raw materials. This also meant that currency notes could soon be promoted.
“I also think this one is the best. This sheet of paper combines three kinds of raw materials to achieve what it is now.” Co Co was very excited.
Even though the previous few sheets had been rejected, now that one had been affirmed was good. Her efforts had not been in vain.
“Which materials?” Su Bai asked curiously.
He could guess that this paper had used several materials. The paper’s quality felt different when held in the hand.
“The three main materials are respectively orange tree sap, wheat sap, and Stone Thorn Tree sap. These three raw materials must be mixed according to strict proportions.” Co Co’s face was full of excitement, animatedly saying. “In addition to this, various small materials must also be added, and the proportions must also follow fixed amounts. Only then can it achieve what it is now.”
She immediately opened the drawer and took out a notebook. Inside were the proportions she had recorded. Although the writing was crooked and askew, it was still comprehensible.
Su Bai flipped through the notebook satisfied and praised, “This time you’ve done very well. You’ve helped the Flame Dragon Tribe greatly. What reward do you want?”
He had indeed not misjudged Co Co. The notebook was densely filled with much data. Clearly, every proportion had been recorded.
Moreover, the other party had helped research the raw materials for currency notes. Giving some reward was more than normal.
Co Co shook her head repeatedly, saying happily, “I don’t need anything, Shaman. This is what I should do. I also need to repay the Tribe. No reward is necessary.”
Not only had the Flame Dragon Tribe saved her life, they had also helped seize back the Sea Fish Tribe. These two things alone were enough for her to serve the Flame Dragon Tribe unconditionally.
“That is that and this is this. This is the reward you deserve. Quickly tell me if there’s anything you want.” Su Bai insisted.
He naturally knew what the girl was thinking. However, those were all matters from before. Now that she was willing to work for the Flame Dragon Tribe, the rewards that should be given still had to be given.
“Shaman, the currency notes have not yet been completely developed. When they are fully developed at the end, I’ll ask the Shaman for a reward then.” Co Co demurred.
The currency notes had only resolved the raw materials issue. There was still the colouring problem that had not been resolved, so there was no way to accept a reward with a clear conscience so early.
“Do you have any leads on the colouring problem?” Seeing the other party’s insistence, Su Bai let it be. Giving it later would be the same.
“Temporarily there are no leads, but I’ve already had people start collecting raw materials for me. I believe in a few days there will be good news.” Co Co said with certainty.
Su Bai rubbed the other party’s head and said gently, “I understand. Rest well today. Don’t continue staying in the lab.”
“But Shaman…” Co Co still wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Su Bai’s gesture.
“Rest first, or else you will be banned from entering the lab.” Su Bai made a silencing gesture.
“Yes…” Co Co could only compromise. There was no helping it. This room was very important to her.
