Streaks of golden sunlight fell on the Teepees of the Flame Dragon Tribe, as if wrapping them in a layer of gold dust. Su Bai woke up early, and as usual, he checked in and opened the Assistance Package after he checked in.
This time, he was quite satisfied with what he got, for no other reason than it was a full-length mirror.
It had been so long since he transmigrated to this primitive era, and he had not seen how he looked until now.
Su Bai stood quietly in front of the mirror, seeing himself in linen clothes for the first time.
The full-length mirror reflected his entire appearance – wearing linen clothes. His hair was a bit messy, and he had a slightly worn pair of sportswear on his feet.
He smiled and shook his head, saying, “It’s fine if I don’t look, but once I do, it’s really funny.”
If he looked like this on Earth, he would only be seen as a homeless guy. Who would have thought that in this era, it was already considered fine attire.
Su Bai placed the mirror at the very back of the Teepee. At this time, it was better if not too many people knew about the mirror. If Cang Shi or Yan Jiao came and saw it, he would have to find excuses to explain.
When they moved back to the Ancestral Land in the future, it would be easier to explain if they discovered it then. At that time, he could simply say his Shaman Technique had improved and he had created it.
“Shaman, I just went to water the lettuce and chilli peppers.” Yu Ying lifted the door flap and walked in.
“Good, how are they growing?” Su Bai turned around.
“They’ve grown much taller.” Yu Ying gestured with both hands, excitedly saying, “They’re this tall now. I gave them plenty of water.”
“The sun has been very strong these past two days. Just water them in the morning and in the evening.” Su Bai took a sip of water and continued to instruct. “Don’t water them at noon, otherwise they’ll be scorched to death.”
Yu Ying covered her mouth in horror and asked, “Shaman, why is that? Isn’t watering good for them?”
“At noon, the sun is very strong. If you water directly, it will accelerate evaporation, and the lettuce will be like it’s been sun-dried.” Su Bai simply explained.
“Okay. Should we use something to shade them from the sun?” Yu Ying suggested after understanding bits of the reason.
Su Bai raised his eyebrows slightly, thinking it was a good idea. “Not a bad suggestion. Have someone find some large leaves to provide some shade.”
Since it was midsummer now, long-term exposure to the sun was not a good solution.
“Okay, I’ll go now,” Yu Ying said without hesitation.
“By the way, don’t cover them directly. That would crush the chilli peppers and lettuce.” Su Bai added.
Yu Ying stopped her steps as she was about to run out, and worriedly asked, “Shaman, if we don’t cover them, how do we block the sun?”
“Find some tree branches and insert them at an angle around them, then lay the leaves on top. But adjust the position of the branches according to the sun’s direction,” Su Bai explained.
“Uh…” Yu Ying’s small face turned red with embarrassment, her index finger constantly tapping her other hand, clearly not understanding.
Su Bai chuckled, walked to the stone table, picked up a charcoal, and quickly sketched out his idea.
He shook off the charcoal dust and handed it over, saying, “Just have them do it like this.”
The Animal Hide depicted two simple chilli pepper fields, with long tree branches drawn around them, inserted at an angle. Many large leaves were laid on top, with the only difference being above the chilli pepper field. There were also two suns, in different directions, representing different sunlight directions.
“Okay, I’ll go have someone do it now,” Yu Ying took the Animal Hide Scroll.
“En, go on,” Su Bai nodded lightly.
Yu Ying gave an affirmative nod, with her fox ears swaying up and down with the momentum.
Just as the fox eared girl was about to turn and leave, she caught sight of the mirror in the corner. She stopped and tilted her head, asking, “Shaman, what’s that?”
Su Bai looked in the direction the fox eared girl was pointing to and explained, “This is a mirror.”
“A mirror?” Yu Ying leaned her head closer, but was suddenly startled. She quickly backing away several steps, and fearfully said, “How did I end up inside of it?”
Her fox ears drooped down, eyes covered, with a small gap to peek at the mirror.
Su Bai saw her expression, the corners of his mouth slightly upturned as he explained, “This mirror can reflect your appearance. What you just saw was a reflection of yourself.”
“That was not me just now?” Yu Ying turned her head, her hands still covering her eyes.
“In a way, it was.” Su Bai walked in front of the mirror, reflecting his own image, and said, “Look, am I not appearing inside? But my real self is still standing outside.”
Yu Ying’s drooping fox ears perked up again, her hands slowly lowering, and she exclaimed in surprise. “It’s true! The Shaman has appeared inside, like a shadow. Is this caused by a Shaman Technique?”
“Hahaha… This isn’t Shaman Technique. We can make this thing for everyone to use as well.” Su Bai laughed heartily.
“We can make this too?” Yu Ying crouched in front of the mirror, carefully examining it.
“Of course, but not now. In the future, definitely in the future.” Su Bai said with certainty.
In his heart, he already had a blueprint slowly forming, which was to recreate modern civilization. These daily necessities would certainly be included.
Yu Ying looked at herself in the mirror, sometimes twitching her fox ears, sometimes swishing her fox tail. She was happily playing in front of the mirror by herself. She turned her head and said, “Shaman, this mirror is so much fun!”
“Weren’t you curious about your own appearance?” Su Bai raised an eyebrow.
In an era without mirrors, and with the only reflective surface being the dangerous lake, he was curious why she did not seem to care about her own appearance.
Yu Ying reached out to pinch her own face and said, “Shaman, I’ve seen my reflection in the Tribe’s water pool.”
“Ah. I almost forgot about that. Okay, enough of playing with the mirror. Quickly go and come back.” Su Bai covered his face with one hand.
“Yes,” Yu Ying reluctantly left the mirror.
