I Became The Chief Of A Primitive Village

Chapter 174, A Fizzy, Bubbling Feeling

Translator: Silavin

[System, check in and open the Assistance Package] Su Bai called out to the System as soon as he opened his eyes.

Su Bai looked at the ice-cold Cola that appeared out of thin air in his hand, feeling extremely happy.

His black eyes were full of pleasant surprise. Calculating the time, he realised it had been too long since he last drank iced Cola.

“This really satisfies my craving. It’s been too long..” Su Bai smiled, then clicked his tongue, lamenting, “But I only got one can…”

*Pop!

*Glug glug glug…*

Su Bai opened the can and poured the Cola into a wooden cup, with plenty of bubbles.

He watched the bubbles constantly coming to the top in the cup, and his mood greatly improved. He lifted it to start gulping down.

“Ah…” Su Bai had a look of satisfaction on his face and heartily laughed, “Such a familiar taste.”

“Shaman, what are you drinking?” Yu Ying asked, lifting the door flap, her eyes falling on the blue can of Cola on the table.

Su Bai poured a little more Cola out from the can on the table and handed the cup over, saying, “Try it. You’ll definitely enjoy it.”

Yu Ying doubtfully took the wooden cup. Looking at the bubbling black drink, she suddenly showed a troubled expression. She hesitated for a while before asking, “Shaman, this… this black thing, is it some wild beast’s blood?”

The fizzing bubbles of the Cola frightened the fox eared girl, along with its black appearance and ice-cold feeling.

“Haha… This isn’t made from blood. It’s called Cola, it’s a drink from where I’m from.” Su Bai laughed, amused by the fox eared girl’s innocence.

Yu Ying held the wooden cup with both hands, her pink eyes looking at the bubbling Cola, nervously biting her lower lip. She took a deep breath, looking like she was steeling herself for a difficult task, and lifted the cup to take a tiny sip.

“It’s delicious!” Yu Ying’s pink eyes suddenly widened, her face showing an expression of disbelief.

“How does it feel?” Su Bai was very curious about how a person from a Primitive Tribe found the experience of drinking Cola.

Yu Ying took another big sip, excitedly shrugging her shoulders, her pink eyes narrowed into slits, looking completely taken by the sensation.

After swallowing, she opened her pink eyes and asked, “Shaman, what is this? I’ve never tasted anything like this before.”

“Isn’t it delicious?” Su Bai smiled and said, “This is called Cola, a very rare kind of carbonated drink.”

Yu Ying took another sip and exclaimed in delight, “I thought this was Ferocious Beast Blood. The colour is so dark and it’s bubbling, which looks terrifying. I didn’t expect it to taste so good.”

Su Bai always found the fox eared girl’s innocence very adorable. He smiled and asked, “Do you like it?”

“I like it.” Yu Ying nodded without hesitation, her pink fox ears also twitching.

She looked at the little bit of Cola left in her hand, reluctant to finish it completely. Her soft, cute voice sounded, “Shaman, can I leave this for Ah’Hua to drink? She’ll like it too.”

“It’s okay. You should drink everything. There’s still a bit left in this can, I’ll give that to her later.” Su Bai cheerfully said.

Yu Ying’s smile grew even brighter as she drank the remaining Cola in the wooden cup in one go. She hugged the cup, still savouring the taste, and curiously asked, “Shaman, where did this Cola come from?”

Su Bai knew she would ask this question. He stretched and lazily changed the subject, saying, “We can make this ourselves.”

“Shaman, is this made from berries? Or is it made with a Shaman Technique?” Yu Ying thought it must be made with Shaman Technique. After all, berries could not produce this bubbly feeling, and the ice-cold sensation when drinking was so comfortable during this hot season.

“It can be made without any Shaman Technique, but the process is indeed a bit troublesome.” Su Bai’s magnetic voice sounded.

Making Cola by oneself was feasible, but the materials needed were numerous, and it took time to make. At this moment, the priority was to reclaim their Ancestral Land. These luxuries could wait until they returned to their Ancestral Land.

“It really is not from a Shaman Technique? That’s amazing!” Yu Ying was still savouring the taste of Cola.

“For now, go call Ah’Hua over. The weather is so hot. Let her try some Cola.” Su Bai thought of the cow horned girl.

“I’ll go right now,” Yu Ying nodded and eagerly ran out.

Su Bai smiled seeing the fox eared girl’s excited appearance, thinking that girls from primitive times were indeed nice, pure and innocent. A can of Cola or a packet of instant noodles could make them happy for a whole day. Seeing their innocent smiles was very uplifting.

About ten minutes later, the fox eared girl returned with the cow horned girl. On the way, Yu Ying had told Yan Hua about the Cola. So, when Yan Hua came in, she was expectant and curious, looking around trying to find the thing called Cola.

“It’s here,” Su Bai had already poured the Cola.

Yan Hua grinned and ran over to take the Cola and start drinking. After swallowing, she exclaimed in delight, “It’s really delicious.”

The cow horned girl also showed a frowning and sniffling expression, because it was her first time trying Cola, and that stimulating feeling was irresistible.

Yan Hua finished drinking the remaining Cola and said in amazement, “Shaman, is this really not made with Shaman Technique?”

She felt the Cola gave a very strange feeling. Although it was stimulating to the nose, the taste was amazing.

“How could it be made with a Shaman Technique? This is a scientific achievement! When we return to our Ancestral Land, if you like it, you can drink it every day.” Su Bai spread his hands and said.

Yan Hua nodded without hesitation, brushing all her black hair that had come loose during training behind her back. She poured the last few drops of Cola from the cup into her mouth and happily said, “Drinking Cola in such hot weather is really nice.”

“Iced Cola is certainly a magic weapon to relieve heat in such hot weather, but getting ice cubes would be challenging.” Su Bai softly said. [How would it snow during the hot season? To get ice cubes, we would have to rely on saltpetre. Once we get saltpetre, Making ice with it is quite simple. The main problem is where to obtain saltpetre? Such a thing might not exist in this era.]

“Ice cubes? Shaman, what are ice cubes?” Yu Ying tilted her head and asked.

In Primitive Tribes, there was no concept of ice cubes. Although ice was a natural phenomenon, it rarely appeared. Technically, if that was the case, this was good news since all they had to deal with was the rain and not hail.

“Does it snow here?” Su Bai did not know what winter was like here. After all, there were great differences depending on one’s latitude on the planet.

“Yes, it snows, and the snow is very heavy. Till the point it’s freezing.” Yu Ying shuddered just thinking about it.

In her impression of winter, she could only see snow flying everywhere. It was very cold with very little to eat. So, typically, many people would freeze to death during this period. In fact, one of her friends had died from freezing in the dead of winter. At that time, they had little to eat and not much to wear. Since then, Yu Ying hated winter.

“Alright. As to your question about ice cubes, they are small pieces of ice that makes the drink cold.” Su Bai explained.
