Chapter 6: Luo Ji in Control
Charging forward, the barbarians of the enemy tribe couldn’t stop him at all.
Facing the stone axe, which was now far more deadly due to his tremendous brute strength, how could a few wooden clubs possibly defend against it?
The words “wolf entering a flock of sheep” described it perfectly!
On the other side, Luo Ji, gripping the stone spear in his hand, had swung it around wildly without killing a single enemy.
He wasn’t too embarrassed, mainly because he hadn’t had high expectations for his combat ability from the start.
As a future university student born in peacetime, how could he not know his own limitations?
Gradually adapting to the fight, he began to use smarter fighting methods.
His gaze quickly shifted to a barbarian who was fighting one of his tribe’s warriors.
Seeing his chance, Luo Ji took a deep breath and thrust out his powerful, stone spear!
At that moment, he heard a miserable cry, and the strange sensation of the stone spear piercing flesh, and blood immediately transferred to his hand, making his scalp tingle.
However, Luo Ji didn’t let go, but instead even put more force into it!
At the same time, he kept telling himself.
“This is the enemy! This is the enemy! This is the enemy!!”
Having changed his tactics, Luo Ji’s attack was successful.
This was a smarter fighting method for him.
Of course, to put it unpleasantly, it could also be described as sneaky or despicable.
However, would he care? Not at all!
At the same time, it was proven that his tribal people didn’t care either.
They even shouted and cheered, which raised their morale.
“For the people of this era, the law of the jungle is the iron rule!”
“There is no such thing as despicable or not, there is only surviving!”
Under Luo Ji’s leadership, his tribal warriors’ morale soared, and they fought with more ferocity!
They pushed the enemy barbarians back step by step, reversing the situation in a short time.
The two weapons that clearly showed a civilization advantage played a considerable role, after all, this was the difference between the stone age and the ancient era.
But at the same time, Luo Ji also knew that his ‘Ruler’ talent’s effect of increasing combat power by 20% likely played a very important role as well.
“Run! Everyone, run!!”
Having lost 2 warriors in a row, and with the rest all injured, the enemy barbarians clearly had no will to fight left.
They ran even faster than rabbits, sealing Luo Ji’s victory in this first battle.
[System notification: Congratulations to player ‘Luo Ji’ for achieving their first battle victory. You have gained 100 civilization points and 5 military points.]
Having no time to pay attention to the system notification, Luo Ji saw his tribal warriors, full of fighting spirit and roaring, preparing to chase after the retreating enemy.
He quickly shouted to stop them.
“Alright, don’t chase anymore!”
Hearing the chief’s command, the warriors stopped their movements, but their eyes were full of confusion.
Clearly, they didn’t understand why their chief would let go of such a good opportunity to pursue.
Facing his people’s confusion, Luo Ji, whose mind had calmed down by now, spoke unhurriedly.
“The most important thing right now is to first establish the camp and then solve the food problem.”
“As for those barbarians, there’s no benefit in wasting energy to deal with them. Let’s wait a bit.”
As soon as he said this, the warriors suddenly understood.
The confusion in their eyes turned into reverence for Luo Ji, and at the same time, their confidence that Luo Ji, their chief, could lead their tribe forward was strengthened!
The situation gradually returned to his control, and the threat from the barbarians was temporarily lifted.
Luo Ji was now in command.
“However, I can’t just leave them be…”
As he spoke, Luo Ji beckoned to the scout he had appointed.
“Come here, I have a dangerous task I need you to do.”
“Do you dare?”
This scout’s loyalty to Luo Ji was already very high, and coupled with the recent victory, his morale was soaring.
How could he possibly not dare? He immediately slapped his chest.
“Chief, just give the order!”
Seeing this, Luo Ji nodded in satisfaction, then handed the stone spear to the scout.
“Those barbarians left clear footprints in the snow when they escaped. I need you to quietly follow them, confirm the location of their tribe, and then come back and report to me.”
“Chief, don’t worry! I guarantee I’ll get the job done!”
Seeing the other party’s excited expression, Luo Ji couldn’t help but worry a bit.
Although this kid had great talent for being a scout, he hadn’t received any professional training after all.
Such a good prospect, if something unexpected happened and he was sacrificed, it would be a huge loss.
But confirming the location of the enemy tribe was also something that had to be done.
Given this, he could only give a few more instructions.
“Your own safety is the top priority. Do not engage in conflict with them. If you are discovered, or feel like you have been discovered, retreat immediately, understand?”
“Understood!”
“Good, now go.”
After sending the scout to follow them, Luo Ji took the other warriors of his tribe and began to head back, carrying the materials needed to build the tribal camp.
On the way back, he naturally couldn’t help but strike up a conversation with his tribe’s first warrior.
After a round of conversation, he discovered that the people in his tribe didn’t even have proper names, and most of them were called by rather casual titles.
“The tribe’s first warrior, how can you not even have a decent name?”
As he spoke, Luo Ji’s mind turned.
“How about I give you a name, with the same surname as me?”
They clearly didn’t know the concept of surnames yet, but no matter what, the chief had spoken.
Based on his current loyalty, it’s impossible for him to refuse.
“How about… Luo Yong! How about Luo Yong?!”
After all, Luo Ji’s first impression of him was his bravery!
When he thought about naming him, the first word that came to mind was ‘Yong’ which means brave.
While this name might be quite ordinary in modern society, it was fitting for this first warrior.
“Luo Yong? Thank you, Chief!”
Regarding this so-called name, while feeling it was new, Luo Yong was clearly very fond of it.
More importantly, Luo Yong, Luo Ji, these two names sounded very similar to him!
Being able to have a name very similar to the chief was undoubtedly something that made these tribal people feel honored!
It was at this same time that the system notification sounded again…
[System notification: Congratulations to player ‘Luo Ji’ for creating the concept of ‘Names’. You have gained 50 civilization points and 10 culture points.]
Listening to the system notification, as soon as Luo Ji came back to his senses, he saw the other tribal warriors looking at him eagerly. Their meaning was practically unspoken.
This suddenly stumped him. Naming people was not something he was particularly good at.
Giving Luo Yong his name just now was on a whim, and it was quite ordinary.
If he really had to seriously name a large group of people, let alone the 34 people in his tribe now, just the few in front of him would worry him to death.
However, luckily, his mind turned quickly enough.
After a flash of inspiration, he immediately spoke with a commanding presence.
“Only those who perform best in the tribe or have made outstanding contributions are qualified for me to personally give them a name.”
“So, if you want a name, you must perform well for me!”
Luo Ji’s explanation was also convincing.
Although this was merely an excuse he casually came up with to avoid his ‘naming difficulty syndrome’ acting up, what he didn’t know was that this excuse, from this moment on, became one of the important traditions of their entire civilization.
And having a name personally given by him became one of the highest honors in their civilization.
