Chapter 59: This is a Good Thing
Looking at the clearly enriched new projects and various types of points, Luo Ji subconsciously hummed a little tune.
Perhaps thanks to the farming a while ago and the consecutive discovery of garlic and cabbage, his production points had finally accumulated enough.
He decisively upgraded the ‘Farming’ project to Level 1, increasing the development efficiency and yield by 10%.
Which further boosted Luo Ji’s confidence in the future agricultural development of the tribe.
At the same time, he also earned a lot of military points.
He didn’t know if it was thanks to the military equipment department’s dedicated research, but a new project, ‘Military Equipment Research,’ had appeared in his military section…
[Military Equipment Research (Level 0): Success rate of researching military equipment increased by 5%, efficiency increased by 10%]
Without any doubt, at this moment, the ‘Equipment Crafting’ project, which had been triggered long ago but was still at Level 0, was completely abandoned by Luo Ji again.
With a tap of his finger, he decisively upgraded ‘Military Equipment Research’ to Level 1.
Then, in a happy mood, he shifted his attention to the next project that might have progress, or rather, the project he hoped had progress, which was the medical section!
“Please, please, please!”
A few more points of tension were added to his happy mood.
While praying, Luo Ji reached out and tapped.
The interface jumped, and looking at the medical development projects that instantly appeared before him, Luo Ji’s heart pounded.
“Got it!”
“The third one!”
Originally, there were only two projects in the medical section, ‘Medical Hygiene’ and ‘Wound Treatment.’
Previously, to reduce the possibility of tribal members’ wounds getting infected, Luo Ji had chosen to upgrade Medical Hygiene to Level 1.
And now, there was another project below these two projects!
[Medical Care (Level 0): For injured and sick individuals who receive sufficient care, the chance of recovery increases by 10%, and recovery speed increases by 10%]
“This! This is exactly what I need!!”
His emotions couldn’t help but become excited.
He didn’t need to think too much.
For Luo Ji, who still hadn’t found any medical talent, he desperately needed this.
Although it sounded a bit strange, fortunately, many people in the tribe were infected and sick before.
During their recovery process, this medical project was triggered, and at the same time, it allowed Luo Ji to accumulate enough medical points.
He decisively upgraded it to Level 1. What happened before could only be said to be a mixed blessing.
Luo Ji’s emotions calmed down significantly after upgrading ‘Medical Care.’
There was not much progress in other projects.
In the cultural project section, he had accumulated quite a few points from self production and self consumption, but unfortunately, no new projects were unlocked, and the points were still quite far from the 50 points needed to upgrade to Level 2.
Luo Ji felt the main reason was that the living environment in this era was too harsh, leaving him with little time or mood to engage in things related to culture.
Aside from that, in the industrial project section, besides the initial ‘Logging’ and ‘Mining’ industries, a ‘Construction Industry’ had also been triggered.
After all, he had been working on city walls recently, but unfortunately, he didn’t have enough points.
Industrial points were unexpectedly quite difficult to earn.
The day’s matters had temporarily come to an end.
Coupled with traveling so much, he was both tired and sleepy, his eyelids could barely stay open.
As soon as his eyes closed, he instantly used his instant sleep skill without any process.
He slept straight until broad daylight.
Luo Ji crawled out of his tent, stretching.
He seemed to have overslept a bit.
The rest of the people in the tribe had already started working.
He found a spot next to a fire, sat down, and skillfully ladled himself a bowl of hot soup to warm his stomach.
Then, he unhurriedly sorted out the things he needed to do today in his mind.
Currently, the more pressing matter should be how to settle the 30+ people they had recently taken in.
There were still quite a few empty spots in the tribal camp.
When he had previously marked out areas and built defenses, he had considered the issue of future population increase, so he had specifically enclosed a much larger area.
However, that group of newcomers didn’t seem to have arrived yet.
After all, there were quite a few people, and they were also carrying so many crops, so their travel speed clearly couldn’t pick up.
They probably wouldn’t arrive until after noon, but many things could only be specifically allocated after the people arrived.
At the same time, the reconnaissance soldier Zhao Pan had sent out earlier didn’t seem to have returned yet either.
He wondered how things were going…
Just as Luo Ji was thinking this, that reconnaissance soldier happened to return.
The reconnaissance soldier, dusty and tired from travel, ran up to Luo Ji immediately.
“Chief.”
“Yes, how was the investigation? Did you find the location of that tribe’s camp?”
As he spoke, Luo Ji casually handed the reconnaissance soldier a bowl of hot soup, gesturing for him to take a breath and speak slowly.
Incidentally, in this tribe, he had two titles, ‘Chief’ and ‘Leader.’
Those original members of the Mirror Tribe like Luo Yong and Luo Jin called Luo Ji ‘Chief,’ while those who joined later called him ‘Leader.’ On this issue, Luo Ji himself wasn’t particularly bothered.
As long as his words were effective, otherwise, even if they called him ‘Emperor,’ it would be utterly useless if his words weren’t effective.
After drinking a bowl of hot soup, a few traces of color appeared on the reconnaissance soldier’s ghastly pale cheeks that were frozen from the cold.
Looking at the other party’s appearance, Luo Ji suddenly worried if the other party would catch a cold.
After all, the weather was still quite cold now, and having spent a night exposed to the elements in the wilderness, his condition was imaginable.
“Oh, right, try this…”
Suddenly remembering something, Luo Ji rummaged around in his pocket.
He had almost forgotten that although the dug up crops were still behind, he had brought back the two heads of garlic he had been holding earlier.
“Chief, what is this?”
The reconnaissance soldier, who had never seen garlic before, looked bewildered.
“Like this…”
As he spoke, Luo Ji took out the other head of garlic, simply peeled off the outer skin, and directly popped a clove into his mouth.
Then he crunched down on it with relish.
Although the flavor of these few heads of garlic was much weaker due to the season, how long had Luo Ji’s mouth been bland?
What was there to be picky about?
And the reconnaissance soldier, seeing this, followed suit and popped a clove into his mouth.
But, as someone who had never eaten garlic before, after taking a bite, the outcome was predictable.
The taste was so strong that the reconnaissance soldier’s entire face immediately creased up on the spot.
“Cough, cough, cough! Chief, this, this thing…”
“Hahahaha…”
The other party’s disheveled state from not being used to garlic made Luo Ji burst into laughter.
At the same time, he didn’t forget to remind the other party.
“Swallow it. This is a good thing, it can ward off the cold.”
“Is that so? Cough, cough, cough…”
Actually, even if Luo Ji hadn’t said anything, he wouldn’t have spit it out. People in this era were generally not picky about food.
To fill their stomachs, regardless of whether it tasted good or bad, they basically wouldn’t spit out anything edible that could be eaten.
He didn’t know if it was the effect of Luo Ji’s words, but after swallowing this mouthful, he actually felt his belly warm up a bit.
At this moment, he immediately realized that this thing in his hand was indeed, as the chief said, a good thing.
