Chapter Fifteen: The Old Village Chief’s Deep Emotion

Page 1/3
[Shi Jian: "Old Medicine Master and Yan are both trustworthy. Xiao Yan, you and Fang Han can appropriately disclose some details about the chat group!"]
[Shi Jian: "After all, you can't keep the chat group a secret from them forever!"]
[Xiao Yan: "That's exactly my plan. I'm preparing to find the right moment to tell the Old Medicine Master about the chat group!"]
[Fang Han: "I'll also find a chance to be honest with Yan!"]
[Meng Qi: "I'm really envious of you two having grandpas by your side to guide you... unlike me!"]
...
Shi Jian smiled slightly as he read Xiao Yan and Fang Han’s replies.
Both the Old Medicine Master and Yan were ancient beings with vast experience and thorough consideration.
Letting them know about the chat group would only bring benefits, no harm.
More importantly, the bond between the Old Medicine Master, Yan, Xiao Yan, and Fang Han was too deep.
The chat group’s existence was bound to come to their attention eventually.
Xiao Yan and Fang Han couldn’t avoid using the chat group’s teleport function forever.
That was why Shi Jian suggested they be upfront about the chat group.
Once Xiao Yan and Fang Han had informed the Old Medicine Master and Yan, Shi Jian planned to organize an offline gathering to deepen their camaraderie.
After all, these people in the group were idols to Shi Jian in his previous life.
If they really held an offline meeting, he would feel like he was catching up with stars.
He had met Yang Qi before, but none of the others in the group.
...
After some casual chatting, they studied other features of the chat group.
Besides the previously known functions, the chat group also had live streaming, recording, and members could freely upload videos...
There were many miscellaneous features, mostly for entertainment.
[Shi Jian: "We’ve pretty much explored the chat group’s functions. Aside from live streaming, recording, and those miscellaneous features, only four are truly useful!"]
[Shi Jian: "Unlimited storage, red envelope function, uploading and downloading of magical techniques, and finally, the world teleportation function!"]
[Shi Jian: "These are the most practical features for now. But the chat group might add more functions later. When you bind to the chat group, it notifies you that after one year, an administrator can be elected!"]
[Shi Jian: "Once an administrator is elected, I expect new members will join and the chat group’s functions might be upgraded!"]
Shi Jian shared his speculation with everyone.
He was quite familiar with the typical patterns of these chat group stories by now.
...
[Xiao Yan: "These functions are already impressive enough. The upgrade won’t happen for over a year, so no rush!"]
[Meng Qi: "If we have to elect an admin, I definitely vote for you, Brother Shi!"]

[Xiao Yan: "Exactly. Then if new members join and you’ve read their stories, you can decide whether to keep them. Good people stay, bad apples get kicked!"]
[Fang Han: "Agreed!"]
[Yang Qi: "Agreed!"]
...
Fang Han, Yang Qi, and the others more or less understood the role of the administrator.
They all agreed on electing Shi Jian as the admin.
After all, Shi Jian had done them great favors.
Besides, new people would join later.
If Shi Jian knew their stories, he could directly decide if they should stay.
Those worth befriending would remain in the group.
Those not suitable would be removed.
This would maintain stability inside the chat group.
Everyone was very satisfied with the current atmosphere and did not want unpleasant people spoiling it.
Shi Jian pondered the matter of recruiting new members.
Currently, the members were all loyal and righteous, so Shi Jian was happy to form close bonds with them.
But not every protagonist was as loyal as Xiao Yan and the others.
For example, the Great Love Celestial Sovereign.
Or a certain Sea God at the half-step Blood Manipulation Realm...
If such people joined the chat group, it would truly be a rotten apple spoiling the whole barrel!
Recruiting new members was indeed a concern he needed to keep in mind.
...
After discussing the chat group’s upcoming upgrades a bit more, the group fell silent.
Everyone’s personal storylines were still unfinished, and after understanding the chat group’s functions, they all went back to reading their books.
The allure of reading far outweighed chatting in the group.
Seeing the chat group quiet down, Shi Jian began focusing on his own tasks.
With the chat group’s unlimited storage, he no longer worried about where to place the ancient creatures he hunted!
After throwing the Azure Flood Python into the storage space, he hunted some other ancient creatures.
Unfortunately, none of these beasts carried any treasure technique inheritance.
As night approached, Shi Jian returned to Stone Village.
He sought out the old village chief, Shi Yunfeng.
"Village Chief, I hunted some ancient beasts today. Please use them for medicinal baths for the villagers!"
The old village chief was moved to tears, "Thank you, little Shi, but this is something us elders should have done!"

Shi Jian waved his hand to reassure the village chief, then led him to the village square.
The village chief followed drowsily, thinking Shi Jian had placed the hunted ancient beasts on the square.
But when he arrived, the square was empty.
Just as he showed a puzzled expression, a corpse suddenly appeared on the square with a thud.
"Is this a Long-Toothed Tiger?"
The old chief was shocked.
This was also an ancient beast, and not even a dozen strong young men from Stone Village could easily subdue it.
Before he could recover from the shock of the Long-Toothed Tiger, more corpses fell one after another, kicking up dust.
"Giant Demon Ape, Shadow Leopard..."
One familiar ancient beast corpse after another appeared before him, and the old village chief felt overwhelmed with joy.
"Wonderful, wonderful!"
He stepped forward to touch the ferocious beasts’ bodies, noticing they were all well preserved.
"If we extract the true blood from all these beasts for the children of Stone Village, our village can rise up!"
The old chief was ecstatic.
The true blood extracted from these beasts was extremely precious.
Children using it could strengthen their constitution and lay a solid foundation, while adults could enhance their strength.
Moreover, the chief possessed some ancient prescriptions; combined with herbs, the true blood’s effects would be even better!
The true blood from these beasts would suffice for Stone Village for a long time.
Usually, the village hunting team might not even capture one fierce beast in a whole month.
This was a source of guilt for the old chief.
Their strength was limited, making it hard to provide good resources for the next generation.
Children with average talent were fine, as their resource needs weren’t high.
But for prodigies like Shi Jian or Shi Hao, Stone Village couldn’t support them well.
Especially Shi Jian... The old chief hadn’t even caught up, and the boy had already grown wildly strong on his own.
Now he was even helping Stone Village in return.
This truly made the old chief feel humbled!
