Unexpected visit
Adam felt like he had never been so tired in his life, or whatever this was now. It seemed the fight had lasted for hours, while he rationally knew he could not keep that level of activity for more than 10 minutes.
[System, can you show me my current status?] asked Adam.
He did not get the snarky answer that he expected, but his status page popped up right away.

[This does not include my current health or if I'm tired, poisoned, that kind of thing. Can we add it here?]
It was sixty seconds before Adam saw the page refresh with new information.
"Freaking lag" muttered Adam under his breath.

[Whinny?] Adam kept looking at his hands and quickly walked over to the hut that Yorky gave him. [You are INFURIATING] passed on Adam while walking there.
The System either did not think it needed an answer or was silently laughing wherever it lived.
[Instead of having me as tired, can you measure the amount of energy I have fully rested vs. the amount I have currently? Do not run another update. Show it to me next time. I want to sleep for the rest of the day] added Adam.
When he arrived at the hut, Adam saw the chief waiting inside. Yorky was also there, with what he could now identify as a worried expression.
Adam decided to go in, change out of the armor and sit down before acknowledging their presence there. In part, it was to see if the issue was urgent and the amount of time they were prepared to wait. Also, he was super tired and wanted to get out of the extra weight.
As soon as it was clear he was paying attention to them, the chief started making sounds and moving arms and ears. Of course, Adam did not understand anything.
[Are you able to translate anything?] asked adam.
When the chief finished talking, Adam turned to Yorky with a lost expression on his face.
"What did he say?" asked Adam.
"Thank for help on fight. He ask what want from kill?" translated Yorky.
Adam made a surprised face and answered.
"It is ok as we have done till now. Any piece big enough for my meal from the main fire will do".
"He not mean food. The one kills beast take one trophy" clarified Yorky.
"I did not make the kill. He did" answered Adam turning to look at the chief.
At this, the bigger creature smiled. It was disconcerting as its mouth was full of sharp fangs.
"This gift from chief. For help you give to village" answered Yorky in a small voice.
For Adam, it was clear that the chief wanted to send a message. He controlled the tribe, even its most important resource, food. Some creatures had good instincts when it came to power over their community. Adam remembered watching a video of animals eating cubs when taking control of the pack.
However, Adam was not one to squander free loot.
"I want the skin and bones of the animal. Also, I need to teach whoever is in charge how to extract them correctly. I will be there as soon as I rest a little" he answered with a smile as fierce as the chiefs.
