Su Ce thought about the two faintings he encountered. It should be because of physical changes... He obviously felt his teeth were harder after his second fainting. But the first and second reactions were different. The first time it was tingling all over and the second time was feeling feverish...like now, it was tingling again.
It’s morning now, the sun is hanging in the sky—let’s call it that. When the fever occurred, it was after moonlight in the yard.
This seems to illustrate a point. To make such a big change on his body, the most appropriate statement that Su Ce can think of is probably—radiation.
Two suns and moons that kept the world running emit different rays, which alternately act on the creatures of this world and make one of them—Orcs—evolve in two different directions for the reproduction of their race. One is female, the other is male.
Males protects females and repels enemies to get food, while females raises children and takes care of the family which is a very good division of labor.
These rays may also have different effects on other organisms, but Su Ce doesn’t have enough data to analyze them.
Su Ce is a man on earth. After he came to this world, he was still ‘acclimatized’ for the first few days, or the radiation had not breached the epidemic prevention system in his body, so it had no response. But after a long time, the epidemic prevention system can no longer resist this transformation so the small changes accumulated in the body burst out in an instant.
Su Ce also think that because the constitution of an earth’s human physique is too fragile for this world, he can’t be transformed into a male—it’s too difficult, so his evolutionary direction should be towards the female side. Thus there’s no changes such as long hair on his body, only his physique is much better and his strength much stronger, so that he can better adapt and survive in this world.
Now it seems that the most difficult part has been solved. The first two faintings should be caused by the instantaneous changes and the human body’s self-repairing function. After those two times, other changes will probably continue, but not as serious as fainting.
This is good. Su Ce doesn’t mind how these rays react to him, after all, he has decided to be a person in this world. So, why not adapt better?
At least he doesn’t only have to eat meat and mud, but also be more confident in farming. There may be other reasons, but this can be discovered slowly.
To understand this, he went to picked up the used wooden bowls and wash them. You see, he could only carry one before, but now he has no problem carrying two.
Upon Su Ce’s request, Tan Tu had placed two and a half-man-high wooden barrels outside the house, filled with clean water and wooden ladle. This is where Su Ce and Tan Tu wash the dishes. The cleaned oil is poured into another bucket, or Tan Tu carries it regularly to the forest to irrigate the trees—in fact, dumping it.
Fortunately, there are enough trees, there should be no problem to clean up the environment.
Just after washing the bowls and brushing the pan, Su Ce suddenly heard a loud noise outside. He put the bowl in the cabinet and went out.
It turned out Tan Tu brought a large group of people. A closer look shows that they are all big males.
Seeing Su Ce coming out, Tan Tu waved vigorously, “Ah Ce! Ah Ce!”
Su Ce looked at him, “...Are they the guests?”
Tan Tu smirked and scratched his head, “No, they’re here to help.”
Su Ce nodded, “Do I still have to do anything?”
Tan Tu grinned. “Ah Ce is going to visit the Patriarch with me. We have to ask him to preside us together.”
After some thought, Su Ce looked up at the males again and said, “Tan Tu, would you introduce me? And you said help...”
Tan Tu remembered and said, “We are getting married, the house is too small so we have to rebuild one. We two still have something to do so I asked them to help us build it.” He was afraid Su Ce would blame him for his haste, he quickly added, “This is what the tribes do.”
After listening to Tan Tu’s explanation, Su Ce expressed his understanding.
Following Tan Tu, he began to introduce the males.
“Sen Han, Luo Ni, Ka LiTe, ShanMu, Xiu Si, Bei Li...” Tan Tu pointed them one by one, whenever he pointed one, they straightened up their chest. Su Ce can see that their personalities are probably the kind of rough and easy-going, which fit to Tan Tu. Their hair color are mostly different, most of them are dark, and couldn’t see what animal type is.
At the last one, Su Ce paused.
This male is very strong, but relatively speaking, his body is actually the slender one. He has a long dark green hair, very straight, hanging down to his waist. The facial features are like sharpened, his eyes are also golden but feels indifferent. It’s hard to get close at a glance.
It’s different from those males Su Ce had seen before.
Tan Tu saw Su Ce’s expression, he grabbed him by the shoulder and said, “This is Ah’Er Sen who lives close to us.” He whispered. “His beast is a python, which is rare in the tribe.”
Su Ce looked at the male carefully. Indeed it felt like a scale insect, cold and humid. However, since he’s willing to help, his real personality must not be that cold.
Looking around the Orcs, Su Ce nodded gently, “Thank you.”
For the first time, the men saw a polite female who thanked them with such a serious attitude. They all laughed together and said. “Tan Tu is getting married. It’s right to help!”
Another said, “Tan Tu is the strongest one among us. Sis in law, you’re lucky!”
There must be some moisture in the word ‘strongest’. As far as Su Ce knows, those who make Tan Tu a threat is also the ‘strongest one’.
However, Su Ce now pays more attention to the word ‘sis in law’.
Of course, the Orc didn’t make a mistake with his identity, just... Su Ce looked at him and said, “Just call me Ah Ce.”
The male didn’t think much and said, “Ah Ce, Tan Tu is a good guy!”
Su Ce bent the corner of his mouth, “I know.” He looked at the others and said, “You can call me that.”
After Su Ce knew these people, Tan Tu was already a little anxious. For example, he couldn’t bear enough to scrape on the ground with his feet... it’s like the prototype. All the guests he should invite have been invited, but they must go to the Patriarch first, otherwise the ceremony this afternoon would be ruined. Although the Patriarch would never embarrass him...
Perhaps it was because they were going to live with each other, Su Ce also felt the emotions of the people around him. He quickly said a few words to the males and looked up to see his future partner, “Tan Tu, is there anything else?”
Tan Tu’s mood improved instantly. “Yes. Ah Ce, let’s go to the Patriarch!”
The overly eager attitude made the males present hiss and laugh. The man named Ka LiTe laughed exaggeratedly, “Hey, we have to stop talking to Ah Ce, or Tan Tu will fight with us!”
Luo Ni chimes in, “Ka LiTe, I feel embarrassed for you. Ah Ce, don’t hate him.”
“Tan Tu has just come of age, we need to be considerate...”
Tan Tu was embarrassed. He raised his fist and took the first two steps, “Don’t blame me if you come again!”
This time it was Ah’Er Sen who walked over. Although there was still no smile, the atmosphere around him was much milder and he stared at his fist silently.
Tan Tu was short of breath, “...Ah’Er Sen! Why are you following them!”
Several males quickly drew close to him, all holding their fists to look at him as well, “Tan Tu, you know we are all bachelors!” Ah’Er Sen’s pupil hit a cold light.
Tan Tu felt a little bit itchy.
At this time, Su Ce pulled his clothes behind. Tan Tu turned his head and saw his smiling eyes. All of a sudden, the anger and anxiety in his heart disappeared.
“Tan Tu, let’s go.”
Tan Tu promised, “Oh, Ah Ce.” He held Su Ce’s arms and headed to the Patriarch’s tent. He didn’t forget to swing his fist again, “After you get married... hmph!”
In response to him was a burst of laughter.
...The people in this tribe are as harmonious as he thinks, Su Ce thought.
Tan Tu and Su Ce went to the Patriarch’s tent. Although there were many people in this tribe, Tan Tu invited some of them and the rest learned the news from the words of mouth. So along the way, the two received the most kind congratulations.
For the sake of the continuation of the tribe and the happiness of its people, every time a new couple is about to be born, everyone is very happy.
Su Ce suddenly realized a sense of belonging that he thought it would take a long time to have. If his previous identity with the tribe came from his desire to survive and Tan Tu’s wholeheartedness, then there’s more to it now. It’s been a long time since he put himself in a group... It’s been a long time since he felt ‘home’.
The Patriarch probably got the news early, when the two men entered the tent, he opened his arms and hugged them—especially Tan Tu.
He clapped Tan Tu’s back twice, “Good boy, good job!”
Sa Ta used to watched this guy get dumped by females after another, and thought he would never find a partner in his life! He didn’t expect to bring back one after he went out.
Sa Ta looked again at Su Ce, the female who just arrived in the tribe. He thought Tan Tu would have to pursue for a long time, but didn’t expect to happen so soon. This actually shows that he knows how to cherish, doesn’t it? Sa Ta clearly saw the gentle look of this seemingly serious female looking at Tan Tu. It seems that this female sincerely wants to live the rest of his life with Tan Tu.
There will be another new couple in the tribe.
There’s nothing better than this.
