Chapter 7: The Camp is Established
Luo Ji and the others who returned with the prey and building materials were welcomed by the cheers of the women and children of the tribe.
At the same time, everyone felt a sense of relief, because the roe deer that Luo Yong had placed on the ground meant that at least tonight, no one would go hungry.
Back to Mirror Lake, Luo Ji had a lot of things to be busy with.
For example, he had to go and see how the ice lake smashing was going?
Was the fishing net finished?
How were the children doing with digging for bait?
He also needs to make more weapons like stone spears and stone axes, so that every warrior would have one.
Of course, the most important thing was that after this battle, the warriors in his tribe were basically all injured and bleeding.
The wounds had to be treated properly!
If they got infected or inflamed, it would be truly life-threatening!
Thinking of this, Luo Ji’s heart immediately tightened.
He knew that in the era he was in, the level of medical care was not just backward, but it might not even exist at all!
He couldn’t stay calm.
In the early stage of the tribe’s development, let alone the four strongest warriors, even a regular tribal member was important combat power and productivity to him.
He couldn’t afford to lose any of them.
He quickly found the injured warriors and saw the old barbarian man was about to apply some chewed-up herbs to a warrior’s wound.
Seeing this scene, Luo Ji relaxed slightly.
Judging by this, they at least had a basic awareness of treating wounds, and it seemed they also had some herbs.
As for chewing the herbs with their mouths, saliva has a disinfecting effect.
Still, in dire circumstances, such concerns would likely be secondary.
However, that wasn’t the main point!
“Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop!!!”
Luo Ji, who had shouted “stop” five times in a row, quickly rushed to the old man and asked with a serious face.
“Have the wounds been cleaned?”
“Cleaned?”
Hearing this, the old man and the injured tribal warriors simultaneously showed confused expressions.
Seeing this, Luo Ji immediately covered his face with his hand.
“Okay, everyone listen. After getting injured, you must first clean the wound thoroughly, otherwise, there’s a possibility of infection and inflammation!”
“Chief, what do infection and inflammation mean?”
As the only person in the entire tribe with some medical knowledge, the old man subconsciously asked.
To this, Luo Ji replied seriously.
“You’ll understand this later.”
What a joke!
Infection and inflammation were of course caused by bacteria, but the problem was, what if the old man later asked him what bacteria were?
Who knew how to explain that!
And this was a topic that would just lead to more questions the more he explained.
Ultimately, it was because civilization was too backward.
Luckily, a hole had already been smashed in the ice lake.
He quickly told people to get some clean water.
After carefully cleaning the wounds several times with the lake water, he let the old man apply the herbs.
The moment all of this was done, the system notification sounded.
[System notification: Congratulations to player ‘Luo Ji’ for successfully promoting medical development. You have gained 100 civilization points and 10 medical points.]
Luo Ji was getting used to these occasional system notifications, but he didn’t feel the slightest bit complacent, because he knew clearly that in the early stage of development, his tribe had nothing.
With his basic common sense as a modern person, he could always trigger some similar things by just messing around a bit.
But the thing is, the most difficult part is how to truly develop.
“In any case, follow this method.”
There were quite a few injured people.
At this critical moment, Luo Ji, who had to worry about this and that, clearly didn’t have that much time to clean everyone’s wounds one by one.
The rest of the matter was left to the old man.
Meanwhile, he went to check on the progress of the fishing net’s production.
Upon seeing it, a hint of satisfaction appeared on his face. “Not bad, not bad.”
Although the mesh of the fishing net was made a little large, it didn’t matter.
Anyway, he only wanted to catch big fish.
At the same time, the system notification sounded as he expected.
[System notification: Congratulations to player ‘Luo Ji’ for crafting a ‘Crude Fishing Net’. You have gained 30 civilization points and 3 production points.]
“Speaking of which, since before, besides civilization points, I seem to have gotten quite a few other miscellaneous points?”
He was tempted to study them properly, but time was too tight right now, and a large number of things were waiting for him to do.
How could he have the time?
Thus, the matter of researching points could only be postponed for now.
Taking the finished fishing net and getting the bait the children had dug up from the tribe, a group of people excitedly followed Luo Ji to the ice hole.
And those who still had work to do occasionally looked over here.
Clearly, everyone was very interested in what the chief was doing.
“Who among you has the most patience?”
“The kind who can stay in one place for a long time without moving.”
Hearing this, everyone looked at each other, and finally, a middle-aged man raised his hand.
“Chief, I think I can.”
“Then you try first.”
There wasn’t much judgment involved.
Luo Ji’s idea was simple, since he said he could, let him try.
Anyway, they had already caught a roe deer, so even if everyone wasn’t full, they wouldn’t go hungry.
While catching fish couldn’t be neglected, they weren’t in a rush for this short while.
“Don’t be nervous, this isn’t hard. The important thing is patience.”
As Luo Ji said, it really wasn’t hard.
The basic task was to gather the fishing net, have one person sit by the ice hole, hold one end of the fishing net, and not let the whole net fall down.
Then, every so often, scatter some bait into the lake.
When you feel a movement and find a fish has entered the fishing net, immediately pull the net up.
The key point was not to move around before a fish swam in.
After giving instructions for fishing, Luo Ji had to move on to the next task.
Before leaving, he deliberately left one more person there.
On one hand, it was for chatting to relieve boredom so the person wouldn’t be too bored, and on the other hand, it was considering safety.
After all, it was quite dangerous by the hole.
If anything happened, having an extra person nearby would help.
By the time he walked back to the shore of Mirror Lake, the women of the tribe had already set up simple tents using the building materials they had brought back. To put it plainly, they were just animal hides propped up by branches.
With the completion of the last tent, the system notification sounded without surprise.
[System notification: Congratulations to player ‘Luo Ji’ for successfully establishing the first tribal camp. You have gained 100 civilization points and 5 industrial points.]
[System notification: Do you want to name the newly established tribal camp?]
“Ugh!”
Hearing this notification, Luo Ji’s ‘naming difficulty syndrome’, which he had just suppressed, instantly flared up again.
Suppressing this stomach-churning symptom once more, Luo Ji focused his attention on the attribute panel of this tribal camp…
[Name: None
Level: Small Tribe
Population: 34 (Your tribe’s population is scarce)
Livability: 1 (From Mirror Lake)
Defenses: None (Your tribe is vulnerable)
Special Effect: ‘Fishery’ bonus 20% (From Mirror Lake), Civilization development speed increased by 20% (From talent ‘Ruler’)]
Looking at the tribal camp’s attribute panel, Luo Ji’s first reaction was that he was lucky he didn’t choose to give up this settlement before.
Two special effects, besides the one he came with, the fishery bonus and the tribe’s livability were all thanks to this natural wonder.
Otherwise, in this icy and snowy weather, no matter where they moved, the livability would probably drop to a negative number.
Luo Ji didn’t think he would be lucky enough to find another natural wonder.
According to his experience and guess, a negative livability was a dangerous sign.
It meant his people were dissatisfied with this place, basically, they weren’t comfortable living there.
This could easily lead to a decrease in loyalty, and even cause rebellion.
“It’s decided!”
Thinking of this, Luo Ji immediately clapped his hands together.
“Let’s call it ‘Mirror.”
“Although ‘Mirror Tribe’ doesn’t sound great, after developing for a while and becoming Mirror City, it will sound quite pleasant.”
“So it’s decided.”
