Chapter 127: Bicker

After giving Liu Chuan a few instructions, Luo Ji stretched in his now empty tent again.

The distraction had actually calmed him down.

After looking around, he twisted his stiff neck.

“I used the World Fragment, but there doesn’t seem to be any change?”

Luo Ji thought this while opening the system interface to check.

Indeed, there were no changes, but the World Fragment in his backpack slot had genuinely disappeared.

With a look of disbelief, Luo Ji walked out of the tent and looked around inside and out, becoming even more bewildered.

It really seemed like nothing had changed!

“Did that guy Gao Su trick me?”

This thought quickly flashed through Luo Ji’s mind.

“But it doesn’t make sense, tricking me wouldn’t benefit him.”

“Or perhaps this item doesn’t activate by simply clicking ‘use,’ but has some hidden trigger condition?”

“Like triggering a hidden quest in a game?”

As this speculation arose, Luo Ji’s mood became subtle.

This situation had both pros and cons.

The good news was that he didn’t have to worry about his special civilization being exposed in the short term.

The bad news was that if he couldn’t trigger the hidden condition for a long time, then the World Fragment would be equivalent to a useless piece of trash.

“Sigh!”

Luo Ji let out a heavy sigh, then shook his head again.

“No more thinking, no more thinking.”

“Let nature take its course.”

Back in his tent, there were still many things waiting for him to do.

For example, the food problem that had been bothering him since the last invasion war.

Was food for nearly three hundred people really that easy to solve?

The number of fishing team members had directly doubled, and the hunting team had tripled.

Only under these conditions could Luo Ji barely manage to provide everyone with something to eat.

Before the crops were harvested, these days were truly difficult, not to mention that their Mirror Tribe would soon enter its first fishing ban period.

When fishing was prohibited then, life would become even harder.

However, there were also things that made him happy, such as the reconnaissance team discovering ‘potatoes’ as a crop while completing their map recently.

Potatoes were a good thing.

For Luo Ji currently, their greatest value was their ability to serve as a staple food with reliable yields.

The agricultural department had already begun extensive planting, and after a bountiful harvest, their Mirror Tribe’s food problem should be solved to some extent.

He quickly dealt with the issues submitted by the agricultural department, then Luo Ji spread out a beast hide and picked up a charcoal pen.

He needed to write down the information about the commercial system that he had memorized earlier.

However, time was limited then, and the content Ye Qingxuan had organized for him was simply too much.

He only managed to vaguely remember the general outline of the initial section.

To transfer all of it here, he would probably need to log off a few more times when he had a chance, which wouldn’t be possible in the short term.

After all, the effect of his ‘Exemption Card’ was about to end, and he would have to wait until this wave of invasion battles was over.

Thinking of this, Luo Ji called in his assistant, who was waiting outside the tribal tent.

“Go inform all departments to report the stockpiled quantities of arrows, stone projectiles, spare weapons, armor, food, wound medicine, and various resources.”

“Oh, and also, tell the construction team to inspect the city walls and meticulously maintain the city gate.”

Evidently, Luo Ji was already tallying supplies, maintaining city defenses, and entering the final stage of war preparations.

The last few days passed quietly.

Outside the tightly closed city gate of the Mirror Tribe, a team of people, with a clear objective and murderous intent, approached.

Facing this group of direct attackers, Luo Ji, who was already standing on the sentinel tower, quickly formed his hands into a megaphone shape and shouted.

“You’re going too far, big shot!”

“You’re trying to make an enemy, aren’t you?!”

Hearing this, Zhou Kai, who had just emerged from the outer forest, felt his facial muscles twitch.

In this game, even players who frequently fought invasion battles generally followed rules.

If they encountered each other randomly and fought a battle, regardless of victory or defeat, it was based on individual skill, and no one would blame anyone.

But repeatedly picking on the same person clearly meant trying to make an enemy.

Zhou Kai naturally understood this principle, but in the previous invasion battle, Luo Ji had ambushed him from start to finish, and he never managed to climb out of the hole.

Half of his archer unit was wiped out, and many shield-axemen were killed or injured.

He couldn’t even retrieve their weapons and armor, and he himself took an arrow.

He simply couldn’t swallow this resentment!

But he also didn’t want to make another enemy just like that.

So, Zhou Kai simply steeled himself and roared.

“After this battle, we’re even, owing each other nothing!”

“You’re full of crap!”

At this moment, Luo Ji decisively hurled back the insult Zhou Kai had used against him last time.

“Even?”

“You’ve invaded me twice in a row!”

“That’s called legitimate self-defense!!”

As Luo Ji spoke, he secretly waved his hand behind him.

On the surface, he was bickering with Zhou Kai, but behind the Mirror Tribe’s ancient city walls, things were anything but idle.

The entire tribal camp’s interior was like a precisely operating, high-speed machine.

Wave after wave of people continuously moved stockpiled stone projectiles from the warehouse to behind the city walls.

The slingers’ slings were already spinning rapidly, and the shield-axemen unit was ready and waiting behind the city gate, prepared to charge out at any moment, just waiting for Luo Ji’s command.

At this moment, in the outer area of the Mirror Tribe, Zhou Kai, who had been completely silenced by Luo Ji’s retorts, instantly turned purple in the face.

He was already in the wrong, and his verbal skills were no match for the other side.

What more was there to say?

Finally, he simply waved his hand without a word, signaling his troops to advance.

Anyway, he was determined to regain his face this time, and he had quite a bit of confidence!

It had been mentioned before that in a war, the invading side can’t bring troops and weapons casually, because the more they brought, the more expensive the military cost.

So, Zhou Kai, who was previously unaware of Luo Ji’s true capabilities, simply regarded him as a rookie, intending to bully him.

He brought thirty men, planning to do as he pleased.

However, he unexpectedly stumbled, but having learned his lesson once, Zhou Kai had also learned.

This time, he was serious!

He directly unleashed his trump card!

A rumbling sound, like wooden wheels turning, echoed through the forest that served as the Mirror Tribe’s outer defense line.

Then, a sight appeared within it that made Luo Ji’s face suddenly change.

“That is…”

The bottom was made of several thick wooden planks and six clearly crudely made, not-so-round wooden wheels.

Above, wooden railings were simply nailed to the left and right sides, and in the middle was a thick tree trunk.

That tree trunk was fixed to it, with one end sharpened extremely acutely, as if it could easily smash through any defense.

In the entire cold weapon era, things like this had a single name.

A battering ram!
