Chapter 217: Three Hundred Users of Divine Skills
The old cat looked at the noisy villagers and just let them do as they pleased. After all, this kind of thing would only be perfect if people were willing to do it.
It looked up at the stars in the sky, as if recalling its hometown long, long ago.
Every civilization grows from weak to strong.
Changing ideology is actually very simple...
The education of one or two generations and decades of effort can change backward thinking to advanced thinking.
A few decades, in the long river of history, is at most just a tiny drop of water. At this moment, a "splashing" sound appeared at the entrance of the village, and Lu Yuan came back again.
Seeing the 30-meter-high Tree of Life, most of the villagers in the square were surprised and a little at a loss.
Some militiamen picked up spears and forks and took alert positions.
"Don't be nervous, it's me. This tree is the mount I captured in the Sky City."
The crowd breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Lu Yuan on the tree trunk.
Lu Yuan controlled the human body and said, "Friends, have you made up your mind? Do you want to follow me to the Sky City, or stay here?"
Finally, the elder who still had some prestige, Sandari, stood up and said: "We are the Sandari clan, with 20 villages. After six years of opening the safe zone, all the villages have been shattered."
"The original 70,000 people have been reduced to less than 9,000 now."
"If you want to stay alive, I will be the first to follow the great warrior Lu."
This old fellow is a man of quick thinking. The first gentry he joined must have the highest value for united front work. Even if his status and position is lower than before, he will still be there.
If you are slow to surrender, then naturally you will lose everything.
Sha Mo, Guo Weiqiang and others also responded.
Then, he recited the rules and regulations: "Obey management, obey orders, do your job, and don't commit crimes!!"
Next, many villagers actually wanted to kowtow!
Lu Yuan was stunned and immediately stopped these actions.
He certainly doesn't want to be an emperor. As a modern man, he would just feel uncomfortable if others kowtow to him.
"My friends, I come from a modern civilization. Due to some strange circumstances, I was separated from my parents and friends."
“My ultimate goal is actually to return to my hometown.”
"Since you are willing to become part of the human race, then... I will not refuse."
True equality for all is actually something that humans cannot achieve... Lu Yuan was too lazy to comment on modern cattle and horses, materialism, and the master's mission.
He just has no interest in being a local tyrant.
“So, I hope to establish a system that is suitable for development, so that we can discuss things together.”
For him, it means building a modern organization and returning to human civilization together.
This is all he expects in his life - damn, who would want to think about how Pangu Continent will be destroyed every day?
But the thinking of these indigenous people...how to put it, except for a few people who could barely understand, the others were also confused.
Take your time.
It would be good to recite some rules and regulations now.
Just like that, after everyone calmed down, a strong sense of eagerness and anticipation appeared in the hearts of the villagers!
This hope is really strange, since nothing has changed on the material level.
The old cat said a few more words into Lu Yuan's ear.
"Let's beat up those local tyrants first."
“Otherwise, the food problem cannot be solved.”
Lu Yuan nodded.
He performed a trick in public, using the Tree of Life to produce dozens of kilograms of "rice".
This naturally won cheers from everyone.
They watched eagerly as the miraculous rice changed from green to yellow and produced golden grains in just three minutes!
The fragrance of the rice flowers still lingers in my nose, but the rice has already matured! This is simply incredible!
"Everyone, although I can make this magical tree grow food, I will not help everyone for no reason."
"Only useful people, capable people, and people willing to maintain order can follow me and survive in these difficult days!"
"Now, I hope that several large grain storage households in the village can contribute their grain reserves to help us tide over the difficulties together."
"You must understand that it is impossible for a person to survive here."
There is no other way. The first step to establish authority is to fight against the local tyrants and divide their property.
Lu Yuan: One tree of life cannot feed everyone.
Confiscating food is a necessary step, otherwise more than half of the population will starve to death within a month.
Faced with the absolute advantage in force, the former country squire's face turned pale, and he tried to say something stammeringly, but could not utter anything.
Then, Lu Yuan changed the subject: "My fellow villagers, I will not take your property for nothing."
"I have some good stuff here...if you need anything, we can trade."
Lu Yuan actually took out some supplies! First of all, there were technological products donated by the Lize civilization, such as flashlights, kitchen knives, medicines, as well as gold necklaces, gold rings and other decorations.
The second is some extraordinary food, such as pomegranate fruit, soul infant fruit, extraordinary corn and other things that can be mass-produced, which are quite suitable for trading - of course, the price is set higher. Lu Yuan felt his heart bleeding when exchanging food for extraordinary resources.
Of course he had his reasons for doing so.
A man without integrity cannot stand! Even if he can rob openly, it will chill the hearts of the old heroes and on the other hand it will also undermine the civil order.
If you can avoid opening this hole, it’s better not to open it.
…
Elder Sha Sanli, facing these goods, was a little hesitant: "Mr. Lu, can we keep some food?"
"I said... fair trade!" Lu Yuan squeezed out a few more words from his throat, "You are allowed to keep a month's rations. No coercion!"
The subtext of this sentence is: I've given you a way out, don't refuse! These smart people naturally understood. Sha Sanli pointed at the Soul Infant Fruit and said, "Mr. Lu, how much is this fruit?"
"You have good taste. You have also eaten this Soul Infant Fruit. It can increase soul power and prolong life!" Lu Yuan said with a smile, "I advise you to buy something cheaper, otherwise you may not be able to afford it."
"In fact, I have seen similar good things in the imperial capital." Sand Sanli said loudly, "The effect is only half at most, and the price is so high that we can't afford it even if we sell our entire village into slaves."
Of course, he was not speaking to Lu Yuan, but to other gentry.
"What about the fruit?"
"Pomegranate fruit, taking it can increase your life force and speed up your cultivation. This one is a bit cheaper for you. Here, try a small one."
Militia captain Shakaner walked forward, picked up the smallest pomegranate seed and put it in his mouth.
The rich life energy flowed into the body like liquid.
Suddenly, he felt that the hidden injuries on his body had healed a lot.
His thick eyebrows raised slightly! "Exchange most of the food in the house!" He turned around and said loudly to his son, "We believe in Mr. Lu!"
…
Just like that, all the gentry contributed their family's stored grain.
Since I got some compensation, I was willing to do it.
Lu Yuan lost a little blood, but compared to his huge wealth, it was just a drop in the bucket.
"You actually hid so many..." The old cat couldn't help but complain, "You guys complain every day... You're starving, you're starving, how come you still have so many?"
Who is the moral abyss?
The old cat was frightened.
Sha Sanli, Sha Kaner and others remained silent.
The rich may indulge in wine and meat, but the poor may freeze to death on the streets - Lu Yuan actually didn't want to pursue it too much, as he couldn't possibly ask others to have moral qualities that transcended their time.
Looking at the mountains of food, all the villagers breathed a sigh of relief and felt a sense of security in their hearts.
At this time, the 125 cubic meters of storage space played a very effective role. Lu Yuan put most of these "dried cacti" in it to avoid problems such as theft.
This number is really considerable.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Then he distributed some to each member of his militia.
Lu Yuan sat on a big tree and shouted loudly:
"This is three days' worth of rations. I will continue to distribute them after they are finished. Please don't worry!"
"It's getting late now, you can go home."
"Please prepare your luggage. We will set off for the Sky City tomorrow!"
…
…
Today is an unprecedented day for the Sarawak people and a huge turning point in history!
No, it’s no longer the Sandi clan.
But...the 18th branch of human civilization!
Surprise, sorrow and anxiety are intertwined together.
This feeling is complicated.
Everyone will spend their last day in this ancient village.
Amid the sound of village songs, the small road, which is only wide enough for one camel cart, is winding and dusty. Occasionally, you can step on a few pieces of gravel and splash them onto the surrounding soil.
Hundreds of years ago, gold mines were discovered around the village, and trade relations were established with the great empire. This bluestone road was also built at that time. Camel carts pass by every day, and people come and go, making it very lively.
But time has passed, the gold mines have long been mined, the Shali clan has become the dust of history, and the bluestone road has been completely abandoned.
Shamo returned to his room and gradually calmed down from his excited state.
He actually came from a large family, and when the family was prosperous, there were more than a dozen people.
Now, he is the only one left in such a big yard.
The rest all died in the disaster...
He stared at the memorial tablet on the table for a while.
"Dad, Mom, it may be difficult for you to imagine that I am going to live in that...city. We will leave our hometown tomorrow."
"You... please bless me."
"I will definitely survive. We are going to the city in the sky... We want to raise it up again, like a bird."
“Can you imagine this change?”
Such a grand goal made him laugh foolishly. Is human power really that strong? In his mind, only the illusory God could do this.
But that city was created by humans.
People really do have this power.
The blacksmith in the yard next door, named "Sa Diao", is also the owner of the divine skill "Whisperer".
He said loudly through a fence: "Since I came into contact with the carving, I realized that people really have this kind of power... Alas, the carving is too difficult, and I can't get through the threshold."
"What a pity for those idiots. They don't recognize the gold even when it's right in front of them, and they're too lazy to learn."
Sha Mo smiled and said, "We just need to learn our own things!"
"As long as we have a technology, we will definitely be treated well even if we do return to the human race in the end."
"Yes, people with skills will not be treated unfairly!"
"After being exposed to glyphs and natural sciences, I finally understood how big the gap between the two is. It's really incredible... We were too ignorant before, no wonder we ended up like this."
“I think so too, haha.”
The two talked and laughed, full of expectations for the future.
…
Similar stories happened in every corner of the village.
Militia captain Shakaner is gathering everyone to study a rifle.
Near him stood several carpenters and blacksmiths, among whom there were even two "talented craftsmen", owners of divine skills.
Well, among the more than 10,000 people of the Sandy Tribe, the proportion of those with divine skills is particularly high, much higher than that of humans! Maybe as high as 300 people!
There are many reasons.
The first is that the population they teleported over is small. A civilization will always produce a certain number of divine skills, and the proportion of divine skills will increase when the total population is small.
The second is the owner of divine skills, who has a higher soul strength and a stronger sixth sense than ordinary people, and is more likely to survive disasters.
Moreover, young people tend to have a higher probability of awakening divine skills, while the ratio between the elderly and children is lower.
And thirdly, major changes in history may bring about divine skills!
Like the Meda civilization, which stayed in the safe zone for its entire life, its history almost stagnated, and the number of divine skills naturally stagnated.
The Green Civilization has been traveling in Pangu Continent. The number of divine skills is actually increasing, but the number is relatively small. The last "divine skill" is "Follow Your Wish".
As for the Sarari clan... well, after the safe zone was opened, they were almost wiped out in just a few years. Their history was very tortuous, so it was normal that they had more divine skills.
The combination of these three factors resulted in a considerable number of talented people surviving.
"I tell you, this weapon is considered a technological civilization, the simplest thing! Technology, do you understand?"
Several craftsmen rubbed their hands and widened their eyes.
"Look, after disassembling it, there are only these parts." Shakaner disassembled the rifle very skillfully.
The base cover, buttstock, magazine, sear, converter, buttstock gasket, etc., add up to only about twenty parts.
He's killed quite a few bugs with this rifle in the past few months!
Which warrior would be willing to fight a monster head-on? Shakaner was disappointed: "What were you doing in the past? You couldn't even figure out this? I thought, making this gun... isn't that difficult."
"You guys are forging iron by hand, can't you do it?"
"And the explosives... It is said that they were made from the stuff in our black mud." Shakaner pointed in a certain direction, which was the pond that was bubbling with oil. "Why didn't you think of it? Explosives?"
