Orc Girl's Tribal Daily Life

Chapter 247 The Dangerous Python

Normal children shouldn't be able to understand it.

Jiang Luoluo agreed to tell Python these things because she felt that Python could not possibly understand what she was saying.

Because the python is only 7 years old. What does 7 years old mean?

In Jiang Luoluo's previous life, he had just reached the age requirement for starting first grade, or even less—because some places require students to be seven years old before they can start school.

Seven years old, which is what people usually call... 8 years old.

Explaining the laws governing the world, the fundamental changes in matter, and chemistry or physics concepts that Jiang Luoluo probably didn't even understand when she was in school to a child who isn't even in first grade...

Jiang Luoluo thought that the python probably couldn't understand.

But in reality, the python listened with great interest, only occasionally stopping to ask Jiang Luoluo about the specific meaning of a certain sentence or word.

Once Jiang Luoluo changes her words or rephrases her statement, he can quickly grasp the meaning and understand what she is saying.

The more Jiang Luoluo talked, the more confused she felt.

In Jiang Luoluo's imagination, the python should have started covering its head and yelling "Master, stop reading!" halfway through the reading.

It's not impossible for a child to be interested in this kind of thing, but in a culturally impoverished place like a tribe, how could a child possibly understand these things directly?

Does the growth of a genius really not require the nurturing of an environment?

But Python doesn't seem like a genius either, and Jiang Luoluo began to have doubts about this world.

After Jiang Luoluo finished explaining these basic concepts about the nature of the world, she began to introduce the content related to smelting and forging.

After all, if one cannot understand that an object is composed of different substances and that different substances can be extracted through different methods, it is difficult to understand the principles of smelting and forging.

Jiang Luoluo initially wanted to discourage the python, but later found that what she was talking about was not difficult for the python at all.

Jiang Luoluo has become somewhat withdrawn.

This feeling is probably like having worked hard for more than ten years to get into university, only to find that your classmate is a teenager who was admitted through a special program, and that the other person is not even as old as you are in school.

"It's quite troublesome," Python concluded.

Forging and smelting are things that cannot be accomplished by a single person alone.

First, there's the issue of mining usable ores. Currently, including terrain stones, the few types of stones identified as usable for weapon making are all extremely difficult to mine, and large-scale production is impossible without advancements in equipment.

Secondly, there is the kiln used to melt ores and separate impurities. Multiple steps, including burning firewood, require a fixed number of people to be responsible for them. One or two people simply cannot complete all the work.

The next step is the separation of different ores—at what temperature will unwanted impurities melt and detach, and at what temperature will the desired metals turn into the liquid they need.

But is it necessary to add other elements to promote the reaction and achieve other purposes?

Even the creators were only familiar with the metal properties of the part they were responsible for, and only had a general understanding of the parts that others were researching, let alone the other tribes who had just started their research.

Without three to five years of in-depth research, this group of people wouldn't even dare to say they understand the basics.

This is where Python truly wants to understand the weapon forging process.

Creating weapon templates is self-explanatory, then comes the watering process, but the process isn't over once the watering is complete.

I've never heard of any weapon being forged like crystal resin, where you just put it in a mold and wait for it to dry on its own.

Basic hammering is essential. After shaping the basic form, the weapon's edge needs to be sharpened again to make it even sharper.

But this kind of polishing is completely different from stone knife polishing.

Because weapons that have undergone forging and hammering are structurally quite sturdy, unlike stone knives which can easily break.

In conclusion, Python listened to the end and then gave a summary.

If you don't want to become a "blacksmith" and spend your whole life dealing with forging and smelting, and you only have ideas about the power of new weapons and want to understand their practicality, then there's absolutely no need to pay attention to these things.

Leave the professional tasks to the professionals, and you can just wait for the results.

However, Python did not feel that learning about these things was a waste of time. At least from Jiang Luoluo's words, he had a completely new concept and impression of the composition of this world.

From this perspective, it's understandable that Jiang Luoluo has a "culture-related" profession and little combat experience.

Mang didn't try to dissuade Jiang Luoluo from wasting her energy. Although it was difficult for her to defeat him with such simple training, her attitude of hard work was still commendable.

Pythons dislike the weak and do not want their kind to be weak, so they are happy to see Jiang Luoluo's reaction and do not mind provoking her again when she is about to give up.

The Frost Tribe has no need for the weak.

Jiang Luoluo was unaware of the python's thoughts until the python met Xing.

Over the next period of time, Python would come to see Jiang Luoluo every few days, each time with different questions. Some were related to the things Jiang Luoluo had made, while others were simply Python's own doubts.

Or rather, when a python tries to understand the world using a different system of thought, its doubts will only increase.

Fortunately, all of these questions are still within Jiang Luoluo's comprehension. The questions are not beyond the scope of the curriculum, and they are relatively easy to answer.

When he saw that Jiang Luoluo was becoming somewhat lax in her training and wanted to give up, the python would smile slightly and then extend an invitation to her.

"Want to fight?"

Sometimes Jiang Luoluo would agree—she felt she had made some progress and wanted to test the effects of her improvement.

Sometimes Jiang Luoluo would refuse—she had a clear understanding of her own abilities.

So when most of the snow melted and the temperature rose to near zero, the tribe resumed hunting activities. Ge went out hunting with the hunting team, and Xing stayed at Jiang Luoluo's house again.

The python and the duckweed met.

This was the first time Jiang Luoluo had directly and clearly sensed the python's malice.

The python's first reaction was "doubt," as if it couldn't understand why a member of its tribe like the water chestnut, who was so fragile, incompetent, and even unable to transform into a beast, could survive and grow up so successfully.

His second reaction was "killing intent," and his eyes clearly displayed the meaning that "the incompetent and weak should not live in the tribe."

If his current body weren't just that of a seven-year-old cub, lacking sufficient strength and size, he would likely have already grabbed Xing by the neck and pinned her to the ground.

"What are you doing!" Jiang Luoluo stood in front of Xing as if her hair had been blown off, her voice filled with rage.
