3: Chapter 3: The School Beauty Submits, Awakens! High Priest!

"What?!"

"Qin Yu, you've gone too far! You actually want us to kneel?"

"You're taking advantage of our misfortune! You bastard! Devil!"

The few surviving rich girls instantly bristled. Accustomed to a life of luxury, they had never suffered such humiliation. They immediately pointed at Qin Yu and cursed him.

Qin Yu didn't even bother to lift an eyelid.

He merely stood up and walked over to the girl who was cursing the loudest.

"You cursed me?"

The girl was startled by the aura of blood and dragon might emanating from Qin Yu and took a step back, but she still retorted stubbornly, "So what if I cursed you? You scum, making us kneel..."

"Slap—!!!"

Before she could finish, a crisp, resounding slap landed heavily on her face!

Qin Yu's slap, empowered by his newly increased strength, spun the girl half a circle before she collapsed onto the ground. Half of her face swelled visibly at a rapid pace, and blood oozed from the corner of her mouth.

"Ah!"

The girl covered her face, looking at Qin Yu in disbelief. Tears instantly welled up, but she dared not utter another word.

The entire beach fell silent in an instant.

Everyone was stunned by that slap.

Qin Yu withdrew his hand, not even bothering to glance at the girl. He walked back to the bonfire, sat down, picked up a new piece of dragon meat, and continued to roast and eat it as if no one else was there.

He used his actions to tell everyone that his rules were not a joke.

Resistance would come at a price!

Hunger relentlessly tormented everyone's stomachs.

Fear mercilessly crushed everyone's dignity.

The order and decency established by civilized society were fragile and vulnerable in the face of the most primal desire for survival.

Finally, someone couldn't hold on any longer.

Under everyone's shocked gazes, Su Qingyao, the campus belle who had been silently biting her pale lips, slowly walked towards Qin Yu.

Her beautiful eyes, usually as cool and clear as autumn water, were now filled with complex emotions: humiliation, unwillingness, but more than anything, a desperate desire to live.

She looked at the man who seemed like a completely different person, her legs gave way, and with a "thump," she knelt down straight.

Her snow-white long dress spread out on the sand, like a withered white lotus.

She lowered her proud head, her voice as faint as a mosquito's buzz, yet it clearly reached everyone's ears.

"Tribe... Tribe Leader... I'm hungry..."

This kneel was like a switch.

In Qin Yu's mind, the system's prompt sounded again!

[Ding! The first Tribe member has officially submitted!]

[Core function two: Totem Eye, activated!]

Instantly, Qin Yu's vision underwent a marvelous change.

He looked at Su Qingyao, who was kneeling before him, and a translucent attribute panel, visible only to him, appeared above her head.

[Name: Su Qingyao]

[Loyalty: 65 (Awe)]

[Hidden Talent: Goddess of Luck (Quality: golden legend) — Possesses incredible luck, capable of turning misfortune into fortune and bringing good luck to the Tribe.]

[Recommended Class Change Directions: High Priestess, Diviner, Oracle.]

A golden legend-grade talent?!

Qin Yu's heart skipped a beat!

He suppressed his inner excitement and gave Su Qingyao a deep look.

This woman was indeed a treasure!

He expressionlessly tore off a large piece of roasted meat and threw it in front of Su Qingyao.

"Eat."

Su Qingyao acted as if she had received a great pardon. Disregarding the heat, she grabbed the roasted meat and devoured it. Tears and meat juices mingled, her eating posture disheveled, yet it exuded a strange beauty.

With the first one leading the way, the remaining girls' psychological defenses completely collapsed.

"Thump!" "Thump!"

One after another, the goddesses who usually held their heads high now shed their ridiculous dignity and knelt before Qin Yu.

"Tribe Leader, I'm hungry too..."

"Tribe Leader, please, give me something to eat!"

Even Lin Waner, who had just tried to use her "teacher" status to pressure him, knelt down in humiliation after half a minute of hesitation.

Soon, except for the rich girl who was slapped and two or three other stubborn individuals, nearly twenty other girls had all submitted.

"Very good."

Qin Yu nodded in satisfaction.

He distributed the roasted dragon meat to these "sensible" members, and as for the few who were still standing, he simply ignored them.

"From today onwards, you are the first members of my Qin Yu Tribe."

"Here, I don't support idlers! If you want to live, you must work!"

Qin Yu stood up and began to assign tasks.

"You few, go collect firewood to ensure the bonfire doesn't go out after dark!"

"You few, go into the train wreckage and find all usable supplies, especially water and cloth!"

"And you, Lin Waner, you're responsible for taking care of the injured."

His instructions were concise and powerful, brooks no argument.

Anyone who dared to be lazy or feigned compliance would be punished with — no water! No food!

Under absolute military force and food control, a nascent Tribe, with Qin Yu as its absolute core, rapidly established itself on this prehistoric beach.

Night soon fell.

In the primeval jungle at night, the temperature plummeted, becoming bone-chillingly cold.

The sole bonfire became the source of life.

Qin Yu naturally occupied the central position closest to the fire, enjoying roasted meat and warmth.

The girls, however, could only huddle in the outer circle, shivering, watching him with eyes filled with envy, awe, and fear.

At this moment, the system's prompt sounded again.

[Ding! Tribe prototype has been established!]

[Tribe Panel activated!]

[Tribe Name: Unnamed]

[Tribe Level: Level 1 (Primitive)]

[Tribe Population: 21 people]

[Tribe Aura (Unactivated): Spreading Branches and Leaves — The larger the Tribe population, the higher the aptitude of newborns. As the Lord, you will receive massive attribute feedback and have a chance to obtain the talents of newborns!]

Upon seeing the words "Spreading Branches and Leaves," Qin Yu's breathing suddenly hitched!

Many children, many Blessings!

This was the core appeal of this system!

[Hint: Please establish the first Totem for your Tribe and hold a Blessing ceremony to unlock a profession for your first core member, in order to activate the Tribe Aura!]

Qin Yu's gaze instantly fell upon Su Qingyao, who was eating meat in small bites, recovering her strength.

He stood up and walked over to Su Qingyao.

"Tribe Leader?" Su Qingyao was startled and nervously looked up.

"Don't move."

Qin Yu's voice was deep and magnetic, carrying an irresistible authority.

Under everyone's curious gaze, he slowly placed his broad hand on top of Su Qingyao's head.

"I, in the name of the Tribe Lord, bestow power upon you!"

Buzz—!

A faint golden light surged from Qin Yu's palm, instantly enveloping Su Qingyao!

[Ding! Do you wish to consume 10 energy points to change Su Qingyao's class to 'Beginner Diviner'?]

"Yes!" Qin Yu silently affirmed in his mind.

The next second, the golden light intensified!

Su Qingyao felt a warm current surge into her mind, and countless complex and mysterious fragments of knowledge flashed before her eyes.

When the light dissipated, her eyes were completely different from before, now containing a hint of profound insight and wisdom into the ways of the world.

She suddenly looked up, her face pale as she stared at Qin Yu, her voice urgent:

"Tribe Leader! I... I feel it! I feel there will be... a heavy rainstorm tonight! And... and in the rainforest, countless snakes are heading our way!"

[Ding! Su Qingyao has awakened her profession: Beginner Diviner! Successfully predicted a crisis!]

[Tribe Aura 'Spreading Branches and Leaves' has been activated!]

The surrounding girls were all stunned when they heard this!

They looked up at the sky; the night was clear, the stars brilliant. Where were the signs of rain?

But seeing the lingering glow from Qin Yu's palm and Su Qingyao's confident expression, they dared not disbelieve.

For a moment, everyone looked at Qin Yu with eyes as if he were a god.

Not only could he tear apart dinosaurs with his bare hands, but he could also... bestow magical powers upon others?!

Qin Yu looked at their shocked expressions, a wicked curve playing on his lips.

He withdrew his hand, his gaze slowly sweeping over every beautiful woman present.

The aloof campus belle, the charming counselor, the arrogant rich heiress, the energetic sports committee member, the quiet straight-A student... each possessed a unique hidden talent, waiting for him to carefully develop.

His voice, in the silent night, carried a fatal temptation as it slowly sounded.

"It will be very cold tonight. To ensure my strength and safety..."

"I will need three people to take turns warming my bed and keeping watch."

"Who... is willing?"

No sooner had he spoken.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

In the darkness, countless fair arms eagerly shot up.
