Chapter 21: Luo Ji, Utterly Satisfied
The strange behavior of Luo Yong and Zhao Pan clearly attracted a lot of attention.
Or rather, even when Luo Ji was teaching them these exercises, many people were already glancing over.
But they didn’t dare to put down their work and gather around out of respect for the chief.
Now that Luo Ji was gone, a large group of people instantly surrounded Luo Yong and Zhao Pan.
At this moment, the difference in their personalities was evident again.
Despite being surrounded by such a large group, Zhao Pan remained very calm, even the rhythm of his pushups didn’t change much.
On the other hand, Luo Yong, feeling all those eyes on him, his slower pushup speed suddenly shot up again…
“Too fast.”
Glancing at Luo Yong’s speed, Zhao Pan calmly stated two words.
“I know!”
As he spoke, Luo Yong abruptly stopped his movements and jumped up from the ground, glaring fiercely at the onlookers.
“What are you all standing here for? Don’t you have work to do?!”
Those who dared to gather around Luo Yong, the tribe’s first warrior, were mostly the original members of the Mirror Tribe.
Naturally, none of them were scared by Luo Yong’s embarrassed and angry demeanor.
A few even chuckled seeing him like this.
However, Luo Yong’s words did remind them that they still had work to finish.
Looking at the crowd dispersing after remembering they had work to do, Luo Yong breathed a slight sigh of relief.
Then he subconsciously glanced at Zhao Pan next to him.
That guy hadn’t changed his movements at all, still doing pushups with the same specific rhythm, one after another.
At this moment, looking at the calm and resolute Zhao Pan, Luo Yong felt a sudden surge of admiration for some reason.
Then he propped himself up with his arms and started competing with him again.
Meanwhile, inside the tent, Luo Ji, who had sat down again, casually opened his attribute panel, planning to check the effect of the ‘Military Training’ project.
Even if he didn’t have enough military points to upgrade it, he wanted to at least get an idea.
[Military Training (Level 0): Increases the training effectiveness of this civilization’s warriors by 10%, and training efficiency by 15%.]
Simple and clear.
Without exaggeration, all three military development projects were very practical.
He wanted to upgrade all of them, but unfortunately, he simply didn’t have enough military points.
Rubbing his temples, Luo Ji pondered ways to earn military points.
The most direct way was clearly through warfare.
If they won, they could gain population and earn military points.
But warfare was risky, especially in this era with extremely backward medical treatment.
Although his Level 1 ‘Medical Hygiene’ project reduces the chance of wound infection and inflammation by 10%, it’s still not enough of a guarantee.
Moreover, they had just finished a battle and absorbed the population of another tribe.
Luo Ji clearly had no plans to make any hasty moves before fully integrating this population.
As a player who enjoyed developing his civilization peacefully in strategy games, he always preferred steady progress over chasing quick gains.
Given this, the most direct way to earn points wasn’t feasible.
Taking a step back, the next option was manufacturing weapons and equipment!
“Speaking of which, we have weapons, but it seems there’s no armor in this era?”
What methods could reduce the chance of getting injured in combat?
Wearing armor!
If they could wear some armor, the chance of getting injured would significantly decrease.
With this in mind, Luo Ji thoughtfully looked at the large wolf head placed in his tent.
Clearly, this wolf head belonged to the leader of the wolf pack from before.
After Luo Yong killed it, he presented the leader’s body to him.
As a symbol of his first warrior’s loyalty, Luo Ji, as the chief, naturally couldn’t refuse.
However, there was nothing like preservatives in this era, so he couldn’t preserve it as a specimen.
Besides, having such a bloody wolf head in the tent was quite unsettling and the smell wasn’t good.
So, he had someone skin the wolf, remove the flesh and blood, and then cleaned the wolf skull before placing it in his tent as a decoration.
Honestly, the cleaned wolf skull, which was now a milky white color, did look quite impressive. Luo Ji surprisingly liked it very much.
The size of this wolf skull was far larger than that of wolves in his original world.
Thinking about it carefully, this should be an ancestor of wolves, but it didn’t matter.
It was just a name, and he wasn’t bothered by it at all.
Holding the wolf skull in his hands and examining it, a thought suddenly flashed in Luo Ji’s mind.
He found a stone axe and was about to start working.
However, before he even picked up the stone axe, he seemed to remember something else and slapped his forehead.
“Don’t rush, don’t rush.”
“What’s Cartography for?”
“It’s for times like this!”
Because he had been researching map drawing before, he had animal hides, plants for dyeing, and branches for pens readily available in his tent.
After simply crushing the plants to extract the juice, Luo Ji picked up a branch of just the right thickness to hold comfortably.
Dipped it in the juice, and began drawing and modifying on the animal hide, referring to the wolf skull.
Only after drawing the blueprint did he realize how simple his initial thoughts were.
If he had started working hastily, he would have definitely ruined this perfectly good wolf skull.
In this era, those large wolf packs weren’t easy to deal with.
Even though they had won once, Luo Ji didn’t want to actively provoke those beasts again.
Therefore, he needed to cherish the limited and valuable resources.
After quite some time, as he drew the final stroke, the system’s notification sounded in his ear…
[System notification: Congratulations to player ‘Luo Ji’ for completing your first design blueprint. You have gained 50 civilization points, 1 culture point, 1 production point, and ‘Cartography’ progress +1.]
This system notification was unexpectedly quite generous, making him raise his eyebrows.
But the important part was yet to come.
He blew warm air into his palms and rubbed his slightly frozen hands.
Then he sat cross-legged on the animal hide inside the tent, pried open the wolf skull’s lower jaw, and secured it with his feet.
After that, he lifted the stone axe in his hand, aimed at the lower jaw joint of the wolf skull, and started working.
After a series of cracking sounds, he finally managed to detach the lower jawbone after a great deal of effort.
Then he found a stone and slightly ground down the sharp edges, making them smooth.
Only then did he pick up the animal tendon he had prepared earlier, thread it through the eye sockets from both sides, and tie a knot.
“Finished!”
Holding the finished product in his hands and admiring it, Luo Ji grinned, his face full of satisfaction.
“Ah, yes, this is the feeling of accomplishment!”
“It’s simply addictive!”
