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.
The thatched houses in the past and the wooden head houses today are all shelters from the wind and rain, and some larger houses are barns.
There are also some fences surrounded by stones and wooden fences, which are places to raise camels and sheep.
There are also two forest huts in the forest, which are temporary camps for hunters, so that hunters can go deep into the forest to search for prey.
The simple dock is also a place to moor canoes and fishing boats.
Unlike the buildings in the past, the monument has no application significance. It is the first cultural landmark building to appear in the tribe. After the monument was built, many little people would stay here, look at the records on the simple stone tablet, and talk to each other about the past history of the tribe.
There is a simple text on the monument.
"Headhunter: One of the two earliest heroes of the tribe, he bravely fought against the devil believers and died in the battle to defend the tribe and the cave monsters."
After his closest comrade died, 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 to the end, maybe he would have survived."
"If we had not attacked the cave monsters, but chose to avoid and retreat, the headhunter would probably still tell me the story of the white boar now."
"I am too weak. My brother, I can't protect you, but I have become a burden to you."
"...You are the hero, I am just a deserter."
"We need more training, better weapons, and a larger territory to defend the tribe."
After the death of the headhunter, Yuzou's temperament changed drastically. He lost the kind of talkativeness and active excitement in the past and became taciturn.
More often, he taught the hunters fighting skills. How to pull, how to dodge, how to retreat.
Experiencing death firsthand made Yuzou become particularly stable from then on.
Under his leadership, the hunters moved closer to the direction of professional soldiers. They never take unnecessary risks or attacks, and must patiently observe the opponent before fighting, which has also become the fighting style of the Garlic Tribe.
Lu Yao overlooked all this and suddenly thought that there was something that the Garlic Tribe should 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 [Mining Techniques] 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, not tools.
The root cause was that they lived too comfortably.
The little people in the Garlic Tribe had no worries about food and clothing, and no pressure from strong enemies. If they encountered troubles, Isabel would take care of them, and there was Lu Yao above, and Miracle could switch to attack and defense at any time.
Without demand, there was no motivation.
So recently the civilization of the Garlic Tribe was basically stagnant.
Lu Yao thought several times, why not be cruel and give them a hurricane or rainstorm, so that they could at least understand the saying that there are unexpected events in the world.
But in the end he still couldn't bear to do it.
Each of these pixelated little people was very precious to Lu Yao.
But his thoughts have changed now.
Children can't be useful without being 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 this era to just eat and wait for death.
Anyway, there is the ghost town of Sanilo now, which is the main base of faith output.
This place can be used as a test site.
Lu Yao pointed out [Miracle] and started [Rain].
At first, 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 little people in the tribe were completely panicked.
The heavy rain did not stop, and the hurricane was still eyeing the tribe.
They could only pray beside the temple, hoping to get the protection of the gods so that this terrible natural disaster could be dispersed as soon as possible.
The prophet knelt in the temple.
"Great God Yao, the tribe doesn't know which god has angered us and brought disaster upon us. Please be merciful and restore peace to the tribe."
"The tribe feels guilty for not offering sacrifices to you and committing the sin of lazy blasphemy. I beg for your forgiveness."
This time, Lu Yao did not give him any reminders, but just watched coldly.
The rainstorm and hurricane continued, continuing to beat everyone in the Garlic Tribe.
Lu Yao was determined this time.
He consumed a total of 250 points of faith, showing the Garlic Tribe that the power of heaven is unpredictable and disasters are 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 while, and an exclamation mark appeared above his head.
"Lord God, are you asking the tribe to remember the shame of the headhunter's death?"
"I understand. The outstanding hero of the tribe died at the hands of monsters, but we survivors have no awakening and are still relying on the power of the apostle... How arrogant and lazy this is."
"From now on, we will remember our current weakness, never stop, and be ready to deal with disasters at any time."
"We are weak and have no right to stop and rest."
The prophet's understanding is a little different from Lu Yao's original plan.
But the general direction is consistent.
Lu Yao saw that his goal had been achieved, so he stopped the miracle.
The sky of the Garlic Tribe became clear again, and all the pixel people breathed a sigh of relief, and they began to rebuild their damaged homes together.
While they were busy repairing houses and farmland, exclamation marks suddenly appeared above their heads.
"God's gift!"
"God Yao has bestowed his grace!"
"God's revelation!"
"Merciful God Yao, great God Yao!"
"It's the hammer, the hammer, the indestructible hammer!"
The hammer was taken out of the temple by the prophet and was first developed in the hands of the carpenter.
Both carpenters loved the hammer and gave it a high evaluation. They believed that it was a great tool and an indispensable aid in building houses and wooden products.
Soon, a series of prompts appeared on the game interface.
[The Garlic Tribe learned to use the hammer. ]
[The Garlic Tribe learned to smelt copper. ]
[The Garlic Tribe learned to build stone buildings. ]
[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. 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, the shaman made copper shields and copper armor by himself. So far, metal copper has finally begun to be widely used in the tribe.
Lu Yao looked at it with some emotion.
The little people in the tribe really have a common human disease... they will lose their fighting spirit when they eat and drink well, and only when they encounter disasters and difficulties will they burst out with amazing creativity and action.
We still have to let these little people in the tribe maintain a sense of crisis.
At this time, Isabel finally crossed the mountains and found the Salt Pond Tribe on the other side of the mountain.
