In the temple, a new product was once again welcomed in the [Offerings] slot.
……
[Magical Harpoon]: faith +1/hour, 1/3 times (in recharge)
Hundred per cent insertion of the fish.
……
Lu Yao looked at the new offering in his hand.
The harpoon was about a metre and a half long, with an iron three-tined fork mounted on the top of the wooden stick, and it looked like a rough handmade fishing gear.
Holding the [Magical Harpoon] in his hand, Lu Yao felt that with another cigarette, he would be able to perfectly replicate the Little Fishman Yuan Hua.
This offering couldn’t be said to be of no use at all.
If a fisherman is out fishing and really doesn’t catch a single fish, he can pull out his harpoon and get a few fish and put them in the fish basket when no one notices. You can ensure that you will never go into the air force and avoid being ridiculed by other anglers.
However, for Lu Yao, the special ability of the [Magical Harpoon] could not be put to use and could only be used as a mascot.
The good thing was that it could provide 1 point of faith per hour, which was still more useful than the [Golden Dice] thrown into the bonfire.
Lu Yao’s acceptance of this offering also made the East River Tribe of the Pixel World breathe a sigh of relief.
“The gods accepted the offering.”
“The offering is the tribe’s most important treasure, this should make the gods rest their wrath now.”
“I hope the local gods will bless us.”
[The East River Tribe’s attitude changed to friendly.]
Thus, the relationship between the East River Tribe and the Garlic Tribe was further eased. With the support of the tribal leaders, the two sides also began formal trade.
The Garlic Tribe produced wheat, potatoes, garlic and meat in exchange for the East River Tribe’s fish, shrimp, crabs and shells. Both tribes were able to exchange more goods as they crossed over to the middleman, the Salt Pond Tribe.
Taking advantage of this smooth time, Lu Yao put on his shoes and went out.
He headed down the street as he remembered and found a modest fishing tackle shop after turning a corner.
“Handsome, what can I buy?” The middle-aged boss asked with a cigarette in his mouth.
“Fishing nets.”
“Only pull nets are available now. How long do you want it? There’s a 2*5 metre one, a 2*10 metre one, and a 2*20 metre one, all 12 strands thick, strong, and good.”
“The 2*5 metre one.”
“68 a pair.”
Lu Yao gave the money, took the fishing net in a plastic bag, and walked quickly all the way home.
After the bow and arrows had been thoroughly integrated into the world, he was thinking about what to put in the next item for the Garlic Tribe in the past few days. After dealing with the Donghe Tribe, he made a decision.
Fishing nets.
The East River was connected to the East Sea outside, and the river and sea were rich in produce, so it was important to make use of it early on. The development of shipbuilding and navigation were based on the foundation of fishing.
Lu Yao observed that the East River Tribe did not have fishing nets either, they relied on sea monsters and harpoons to catch fish.
Perhaps because fishing was too easy for them, there was no need to further develop their tools. So whether it was canoes or harpoons, they remained in a relatively primitive stage.
In the Garlic Tribe, hunters made traps and leather clothes, and they had long since learnt to make ropes, and with ropes came materials for fishing nets.
Lu Yao placed the fishing net on the mouse.
A prompt showed up on the screen.
–Please would you like to bestow [Fishing Net] to your believer?
[Yes].
As the fishing net was thrown into the Garlic Tribe, the Garlic Tribe minions became excited.
“Fishing net, catch fish, catch fish!”
“With fishing nets, we can go to the river and catch fish!”
“Make fishing nets, make lots of fishing nets.”
“Every fish can’t escape the fishing nets, the whole river is full of food!”
Pixel little people weave fishing nets, and some little people take the nets to the river to catch fish.
The appearance of the fishing nets also caught the attention of the East River Tribe.
“Fishing nets just look bulky.”
“It’s not good at all, it’s still best to harpoon, one insertion a fish.”
“Fish aren’t stupid, how could they get into the net.”
“Stupid landlubbers, they don’t understand how flexible fish are in the water.”
It didn’t take long for the smiley faces on their heads to turn into exclamation marks, followed by uncomprehending question marks.
At first, the Garlic Tribe was still clumsy with their nets, and the little people kept fishing around in the water like they were using a bamboo basket, unable to catch fish with all their effort.
The shaman and the hunters adjusted their fishing methods, waiting for the fish to swim into the range of the net before they began to pull the net. From then on, they began to catch sporadic swimming fish.
Later on, the Garlic Tribe further optimised and adjusted the method, learning to bundle stones around the fishing net and then throw the net down.
Because the edge is heavy and sinks fast, the fish in the middle can’t swim out in time and are covered under the net. Tighten the rope so that the edges of the net tighten into a pocket that catches many fish as soon as it is tightened.
This spectacle of catching dozens of fish in one net shocked the East Sea Tribe.
Many of the East Sea Tribe’s villains gathered around the fishing net, discussing it with their mouths agape and changing their faces at the speed of light.
“Worthy of being a gift from the gods, this is indeed something remarkable.”
“Why would the fish not be able to resist burrowing into it, but there’s no bait inside, it’s really strange.”
“Treasure, this is treasure! Or a treasure that can be crafted!”
While one part of the villainy was still lamenting, the other part of the villainy acted.
[Grandmother] came by boat again and visited the Prophet and Shaman.
The two tribes discussed soon after, and there was a result.
[The Garlic Tribe taught the method of making and using fishing nets, and the attitude of the East River Tribe turned intimate.]
[The East River Tribe taught the Garlic Tribe how to make and use canoes.]
Lu Yao rubbed his shoulders.
Dude wanted this.
An exchange of technology.
For the Garlic Tribe to develop rapidly, it wouldn’t work behind closed doors. It was necessary to increase exchanges and learning with other tribes in order to obtain more technology and culture.
In this regard, the Salt Pond Tribe was quite the chicken thief.
As the Garlic Tribe’s co-operation object, the Salt Pond Tribe’s attitude towards the Garlic Tribe was similarly intimate, but the technology they had mastered had never flowed here.
From the beginning to the end, the Salt Pond Tribe viewed the Garlic Tribe as a source of commodities, a leek-cutting link in their trade network.
They neither opened up roads nor revealed the true location of their tribe, firmly controlling the outgoing passages and maps, secretly curbing the Garlic Tribe’s development.
Even the sacrifices offered to Lu Yao, the god, the [Golden Dice] were insincere and purely perfunctory.
The reason why Lu Yao was actively searching for a passageway to connect with the outside world was because he wanted to get rid of the Salt Pond Tribe’s snarl and find another corridor to the outside world.
The [Grandmother] knelt on the ground outside the shrine in pilgrimage.
Instead, a question mark surfaced above her head.
Lu Yao tapped on it.
“Great God Yao, please forgive us for our rudeness. We, the Donghe Tribe, are followers of the God of Prayer and should seek refuge and help from the God of Prayer. But we are just a weak tribe with a very small number of people, and our voices can t reach the gods ……”
“Your wisdom and majesty is something that the Donghe Tribe would never dare to offend or doubt.”
“Prophets and shamans say that you always shelter those who believe in you, and now, we, a group of humble outsiders, beg to you and pray for your mercy.”
“The East River Tribe is tasked with raising sea monsters, and they are our most important possession. But since last year, the sea monsters have been sick, so sick that three have died, and now only seven remain.”
“If the women of the tribe are no longer able to give birth to sea monsters to provide for the moulting of the temple sea monsters, then our tribe will be completely abandoned by the East Sea Clan, and the entire tribe will not be able to survive here.”
“We must give birth to more sea monsters to fill the vacancies of the sea monsters.”
Lu Yao gave a look of silence.
Sea monsters were actually born from the women of the East River Tribe.
Is this a bit ……
