Chapter 374: Paper Talk
[I see, is this what you mean by paper talk? ]
At this moment, Zhou Xu suddenly realized.
Looking at the panel, Wang Pengfei in front of him is indeed not as good as ordinary people. However, due to the fact that he has been confronting people online for many years, sometimes in order to put on airs and give advice, he has learned some miscellaneous and useless knowledge that he has no use at all in his daily life.
Don't expect him to have any real ability to do things. People like Wang Pengfei are mostly bad at nothing and just want to be number one.
Doing things and talking are two different things. Just think of it as a super-degraded version of search software.
For some things that you originally have no idea about and don't know how to deal with, some very superficial and general information that he obtained through search software before traveling through time, which may be correct or may be problematic, may provide you with some useful ideas.
Thinking of this, Zhou Xu immediately found him more pleasing to the eye.
At least it's not completely useless, so he doesn't have to make the worst-case scenario plans.
After all, a useless time traveler would only bring him trouble.
"Come on, let's get out of here first."
Wang Pengfei, unaware that he had just been to the gates of hell, nodded rapidly.
"Ah, isn't the weather here too cold?!"
Wang Pengfei followed Zhou Xu along the tunnel and outside, shivering with cold.
He was too nervous before and didn't notice it, but now he realized that the weather here was extremely cold.
Zhou Xu prepared winter clothes for him, but looking at his appearance, one could tell that he was used to staying in an air-conditioned room and was in very weak physical condition.
Zhou Xu had no choice but to let him adapt to this situation.
During the period, he complained a few words about the temperature here. Seeing that Zhou Xu had no intention of paying attention to him, Wang Pengfei was sensible enough to shut up.
He often argues with people online and is a bit of a nitpicker, but that doesn't mean he is stupid.
On the Internet, others generally can't do anything to him, which is his greatest confidence, but now...
He saw the knives on the waists of the two soldiers. Who could guarantee that the other party would not kill him directly if they were unhappy? There was still a long way from the altar to the nearest Tieshan Village. For Zhou Xu and his men, it was naturally a piece of cake.
If he didn't even have this little bit of physical strength, in this era, the grass on his grave would probably be three feet high. But it's different for Wang Pengfei, who has just arrived.
At the beginning, he was too scared to make a sound and kept holding on, but by the end, he was already panting like a cow and sweating all over. He couldn't go on any longer, and he slipped and fell to the ground.
After the fall, Wang Pengfei fell down.
"No, no, I can't walk anymore, I really can't walk anymore..."
Looking at Wang Pengfei, who was so tired that he could hardly speak clearly, Zhou Xu was speechless.
Calculating the distance, they have only walked about one-fifth of the way.
At Wang Pengfei's speed, it would take him an unknown amount of time to walk back to Tieshan Village.
And considering his size, it's not realistic to ask the soldiers to carry this guy back in the mountains.
"I'll leave a soldier to lead the way for you. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
After saying that, Zhou Xu turned around and left without caring about Wang Pengfei's reaction. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared. Only Wang Pengfei, who was collapsed on the ground, and the speechless soldier were left staring at each other in silence. The scene fell into a strange awkwardness.
"How is the mine outside Tieshan Village going now?"
While maintaining his efficiency on the journey, Zhou Xu casually asked the soldiers about their situation.
In addition to summoning the Chosen One, another purpose of his coming here was to confirm the development of the mine here.
After all, when he faces a large army of Lizardmen, if he wants to improve his strength now, there are only two relatively practical ways for him to do so.
One is to recruit more soldiers and increase the number of troops if conditions permit.
The other is to comprehensively upgrade weapons and equipment.
The simplest upgrade route before him was to upgrade copper weapons to iron weapons.
To do this, he needs to open up the mines here and mine iron ore on a large scale! "Reporting to the leader, this work has been going on, but the manpower here is limited, and the efficiency is really not high due to the influence of season and weather."
Once it snows or rains in these mountains, the terrain becomes extremely slippery, greatly increasing the risk of work.
It is basically impossible to work on days like this. Even if you force yourself to work, your work efficiency will be very low.
Under this premise, in order to recruit soldiers, Zhou Xu had sent the latest batches of prisoners to fill the labor vacancies in Yanhu Village and Black Moon Village. Huangshan Village also received a portion, but Tieshan Village did not get much.
This is also the main reason why the efficiency here has not been improved.
Zhou Xu nodded after understanding the situation here. It happened that he had inspected the conditions of Black Moon Village, Salt Lake Village and Huangshan Village some time ago. He had a clear idea of the current conditions of the three villages, so he made a decision directly.
"The prisoners we capture later don't need to be sent over there. Just assign them to hard labor at the Tieshan Mine."
"yes!"
Maintaining his mobility efficiency, Zhou Xu returned to Tieshan Village early. Because he activated the altar to summon the Chosen One, he had consumed a lot of mantra power today and needed to rest.
As for Wang Pengfei, he barely arrived at the destination before dark, half dead.
Looking at Tieshan Village, Wang Pengfei couldn't help but show a trace of despair on his face.
Although he had already understood from Zhou Xu's simple explanation that the world was in the primitive age, how could he survive in such a cold winter without heating? !
Of course, this emotion quickly disappeared with the words "Dinner is ready".
The mechanism in Tieshan Village is basically the same as that in Caoyuan Village. Although it is called a village, it has always maintained a militarized management style, and dinner is also arranged uniformly by the kitchen.
In this era, in order to ensure the soldiers' nutritional intake, it is no exaggeration to say that the food in Tieshan Village is luxurious.
However, for Wang Pengfei, who was used to eating junk food, it was tasteless. He didn't eat much and most of it was left there.
Considering his identity as God's chosen one, the villagers who noticed this situation reported it to Zhou Xu.
Zhou Xu’s answer was…
"Don't worry about him."
Seeing that he dropped out of junior high school, has no job, and has been staying at home relying on his parents, it can be seen that this guy is most likely a giant baby.
It's just that he didn't dare to attack now when facing a group of strangers who held his life in their hands.
Zhou Xuke had no intention of accommodating him. If he didn't want to eat, he could just starve. Besides, he didn't want to keep idle people here!
