Chapter 36: Weakness is not an obstacle to survival
Since the establishment of the Garlic Tribe, the buildings built by the pixel people are all for survival functions.
The thatched houses in the past and the wooden head houses today are both residences for shelter from wind and rain, and some larger houses are barns.
There are also some enclosures surrounded by stone and wooden fences, where camels and sheep are raised.
There are also two forest huts in the forest, which are temporary camps for hunters, allowing them to go deep into the forest to search for prey.
The simple pier is also used to moor canoes and fishing boats.
Unlike the buildings in the past, the monument has no practical significance. It is the first cultural landmark building in the tribe. After the monument was built, many people would stop here, look at the records on the simple stone tablet, and talk about the past history of the tribe.
There is a simple text on the monument.
"Headhunter: One of the first two heroes of the tribe. He fought bravely against the devil's followers and died fighting to defend the tribe and the cave monsters."
After the death of his closest comrade, the hero Yuzou often came here.
He stood in front of the monument without saying a word, his mind full of thoughts.
"If I had fought with him till the end, maybe he would have survived."
"If we had not attacked the group of cave monsters, but chose to avoid and retreat, the headhunter would probably still be telling me the story of the white boar now."
"I am too weak. My brother, I cannot protect you, but become a burden to you."
"…You are the hero, and I am just a deserter."
"We need more training, better weapons, and more territory to defend the tribe."
After experiencing the death of the headhunter, Yuzou's personality changed drastically. He lost his former talkativeness and liveliness and became taciturn.
More often, he taught the hunters fighting skills, how to pull, how to dodge, how to retreat.
Experiencing death made Yuzou extra cautious from then on.
Under his leadership, the hunters moved closer to becoming professional soldiers. They would never take unnecessary risks or attack, and would always observe the enemy patiently before fighting, which became the fighting style of the Garlic Tribe.
Lu Yao looked down at all this and suddenly thought that there was something that the Garlic Tribe should be able to use now.
He put on his shoes, locked the door and went downstairs.
Ten minutes later, Lu Yao came back with a hammer in his hand.
This was the next [Gift] he decided on.
The Garlic Tribe had already learned the [Mining Technique] and discovered minerals such as copper, iron, gold, and crystal, but they had never mastered the smelting technique and only used the most basic method of burning natural minerals. The burned metals were also used by them as collectibles rather than tools.
The root cause is that we live too comfortably.
The little people of the Garlic Tribe have no worries about food and clothing, and they don’t have the pressure of strong enemies. If they encounter any trouble, Isabel will take care of it. With Lu Yao above them, Miracle can switch from offense to defense at any time.
Without demand, there is no motivation.
So recently the civilization of the Garlic Tribe has basically been stagnant.
Lu Yao thought about it several times and decided to be ruthless and give them a hurricane or rainstorm so that they would at least understand the saying that there are unexpected events in life.
But in the end he still couldn't bear to do it.
Each of these pixel figures is very precious to Lu Yao.
But his mind has changed now.
Children will not become useful unless they are beaten. Especially when they are a group of lazy dogs from the tribal era, sometimes you have to be ruthless. You have to let them know that it is too early for them to just eat and wait for death in this era.
Anyway, there is the ghost town of Sanilo now, which is the current base for faith output.
This place can be used as a testing ground.
Lu Yao clicked [Miracle] and it started to [Rain].
Initially, the Garlic Tribe did not realize that something was wrong. As the rainfall became heavier and mixed with hurricanes, the five barns and the food inside were completely destroyed by the storm and heavy rain, and more than a dozen farmlands were also destroyed, and several people died.
The tribesmen were completely panicked.
The heavy rain continued, and the hurricane was still lurking around the tribe.
They could only pray beside the temple, hoping to get the protection of the gods and make this horrible natural disaster disappear as soon as possible.
The prophet kneeled in the temple.
"Great God Yao, our tribe has angered some god and brought disaster upon us. I beg for your mercy to restore peace to our tribe."
"The tribe feels guilty for not bringing a sacrifice in your honor. It is a sin of laziness and sacrilege. We beg for your forgiveness."
This time, Lu Yao did not give him any reminders, but just watched coldly.
The heavy rain and hurricane continued, continuing to beat down everyone in the Garlic Tribe.
Lu Yao was determined this time.
He consumed a total of 250 points of faith and showed the Garlic Tribe that the power of God was unpredictable and disasters were everywhere.
When he felt that the pressure of the natural disaster was almost enough, Lu Yao led the prophet to the monument.
The prophet was silent for a moment, and an exclamation mark appeared above his head.
"My Lord God, are you asking the tribe to remember the shame of the headhunter's death?"
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
"I understand. The outstanding hero of the tribe died at the hands of monsters, but we, the survivors, have not woken up at all and are still relying on the power of the Apostle... How arrogant and lazy we are."
"From now on, we will remember our current weakness and never stop, always being prepared to deal with disasters."
"We are weak and have no right to stop and rest."
The prophet's understanding was slightly different from Lu Yao's original plan.
But the general direction is consistent.
Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Lu Yao stopped the miracle.
The sky over the Garlic Tribe became clear again, and all the pixel people breathed a sigh of relief. They began to rebuild their damaged homes together.
While they were busy repairing houses and farmland, exclamation marks suddenly appeared above the little people's heads.
"God's gift!"
"God Yao has bestowed his blessing!"
"Revelation from God!"
"Merciful God Yao, great God Yao!"
"It's a hammer, a hammer, an indestructible hammer!"
The hammer was taken out of the temple by the prophet and was first developed and improved in the hands of the carpenter.
Both carpenters loved the hammer and spoke highly of it, believing it to be a great tool and an indispensable aid in building houses and wood products.
Soon, a series of prompts appeared on the game interface.
[The Garlic Tribe has learned to use the hammer.]
[The Garlic Tribe has learned the art of copper smelting.]
[The Garlic Tribe has learned stone building.]
[The Garlic Tribe learned how to use copper.]
[The Garlic Tribe gained prestige among other tribes because they mastered new technologies. ]
In the following time, the Garlic Tribe built a furnace with stones, and the little people began to burn copper in it and then made copper hammers.
Hunters used copper to improve bows and spears, and had copper arrowheads and spearheads. Soon after, shamans made copper shields and copper armor by themselves. Thus, copper metal finally began to be widely used in the tribe.
Lu Yao felt somewhat emotional when he saw this.
The tribal people really have a common human problem... when they are well fed and well fed, they will lose their fighting spirit, and only when they encounter disasters and difficulties will they burst out with amazing creativity and action.
We still need to make these tribal villains maintain a sense of crisis.
At this time, Isabel finally crossed the mountains and found the Yanchi tribe on the other side of the mountain.
Thanks to Wu Yu Yan for supporting 100 Qidian coins.
