But now a crucial question lies before him.
We don't have enough manpower.
The Star Tribe currently has around 5,000 people, which seems like a lot, and could be considered a very large tribe in this primitive society, but it is too few for this city.
The hot spring bath project needs people, mining needs people, as well as people selling goods in the market, hunting, farming, teaching at the academy, papermaking, slaughtering...
It can be said that every job requires manpower. Many projects were already stalled due to a lack of manpower, and now dozens or even hundreds of people have to be freed up for a piece of glass.
"Sigh, once I help Shouyan get the artifact this time, I'll immediately set off to explore other places. I wonder where Hailing and Li are."
The two had been away from Xinghai Town for some time. Although they would come back from time to time, Su Yuan was very busy. He only invited them back yesterday for the celebration.
However, they were too busy at the time, and after Hai Ling finished preparing the food, she and Hai Yao hurriedly returned to Xinghai Town. They and some of their clansmen had not yet left the shackles of the ocean.
"System, open the map."
Opening the map, Su Yuan looked at the two extra marks in the black area, and the two people carrying the beacons headed in two different directions.
Hailing is in the sea, and the map she unlocks is an endless ocean. She moves steadily to the left side of the map, passing some small islands, but she doesn't see any land.
Li headed towards the Wangxue Mountains, passing through the sea and heading upwards. This beacon point should lead to the forest.
The dense forests outline a vast green ocean, within which traces of settlements can be seen in clearings.
It seems that Li also rested in other tribes over there.
"Why don't we ask Black Sheep and the others first? Transparency isn't a rare element in another world, so there might be a ready-made substitute."
The thought of a cold wind blowing in late at night and waking him up made Su Yuan lose all interest in leisurely enjoyment. He immediately ran outside after leaving the house.
The way up and down the mountain is a bit troublesome. I can design some short-distance teleportation arrays in the city when I have time, so that I can easily go for a stroll in the city streets when I have nothing to do.
When they arrived at Xinghai Town, Bai Ying was leading people to hang a large sign that read "Xinghai Town" outside the gate, and the wooden fences on both sides had been replaced with cement.
The completion of Moon Pivot City meant that Starsea Town no longer needed to be expanded, so cement was completely used to replace wood.
Some of the other beast girls who came here were puzzled. The Star Tribe had fewer people than before, but everyone seemed to be very busy.
"Chief Su Yuan!"
Just as Su Yuan was about to search for the black sheep, several figures walked over from not far away. What he saw first was not their faces, but the plump fruits in front of them.
"You are... Thornlight?"
"Hmm, I didn't expect Chief Su Yuan to still remember me. We've come here to thank you for your guidance."
Ji Guang placed the fruits in front of Su Yuan. Each one was crystal clear and plump, and the snow-white fruits looked like little snowballs. You could smell their sweet fragrance just by getting close.
Her tribesmen, who followed behind her, were carrying other items.
However, Su Yuan wasn't interested in any of that right now. With a gossipy expression, he quickly grabbed Ji Guang's hand and hurriedly asked, "Tell me what happened first. Did those orcs fall into a trap?"
The other witches' plans didn't offer much juicy gossip, but Silver Illusion was different. Just thinking about the scene of those orcs being poisoned made him incredibly curious.
"Uh...yes, they...they fell for it."
