Chapter 98 Chapter 98
Shen's family expands
The sea tribe had been looking for people all night, and all the tribes, big and small, on the seaside were mobilized, making quite a commotion. Ze didn't sleep well after having a nightmare, and Shen Nong didn't sleep well either. When it was dawn, the two of them got up and washed up.
After finishing the meal, Shen Er came over to report the situation to Shen Nong, "Priest, the priest of the Hai tribe said the reason why he was unwilling to trade with our tribe is similar to your analysis."
Shen Er repeated Hai Yuhui's words to Shen Nong and concluded: "The fundamental reason is as you said, Priest, we are afraid that those small tribes will develop with us and it will be difficult to discipline them.
But what they said at the beginning, that a tribe had offered better conditions than us to select orcs from their tribe and took them away, saying they were helping the tribe, but they never came back, is also true. "
After Shen Nong heard this, he knew there was something wrong without thinking too much. The fact that the orcs of the big tribe were taken away and never returned was not only happening in the Hai tribe. According to what Bao Qiu had told him before, the big tribes in other places had the same situation.
There was something weird about this matter. Shen Nong had limited information. Moreover, the chief priest of the Hai tribe knew nothing about what happened after the orcs of the tribe were taken away, so he had no place to investigate.
Just in case, Shen Nong left a message on the system platform asking Shen Sanduo to pay attention, and also told the surrounding tribes not to trust the words of the orcs from strange tribes who suddenly appeared.
Shen Nong of the Mu tribe does not have to worry, but it is hard to say whether the surrounding tribes will not be deceived by such excuses and have their orcs taken away.
"How are the injuries of the orcs from the Fish Tribe?" Shen Nong changed the subject, not wanting to spend too much time on something that would not produce any result.
Shen Er replied sternly, "Some orcs were lightly injured and rescued early. They just have a cough after a night of recovery and can work tomorrow. Some need to rest for a few more days before they can work. Their chief and the orcs in the hunting team were seriously injured and cannot recover on their own, so they can't work."
Shen Nong listened to Shen Er's answer about whether he could work or not, and he felt a bit amused. He suspected that the "emotional" slogan that the system put on him when it sold him was a deceptive advertising slogan, because it was obvious that the bionic warriors had no emotions.
"I got it. I'll go check out those that are seriously injured." Shen Nong stood up and prepared to go out.
Shen Er was a little confused about this. "Priest, I have seen those people. There is no hope. Unless the priest uses up all his supernatural powers to drag them back from the brink of death, they will have to recuperate for at least a year and take medicine to recuperate. The cost and reward are not proportional, it is not worth it."
Facing Shen Er's serious analysis, Shen Nong no longer doubted whether the system had tricked him again, but was certain that the system had tricked him again. Wasn't it said that high-level bionic warriors had human emotional programs?
Shen Nong didn't have to save these people, but he just happened to know their situation, and these people were not a threat to him. He went over to take a look, and if he could save them, he would save them, but if he couldn't, he wouldn't force himself.
But no matter what, he would not leave people to die just because they could not work immediately and the rewards were not proportional.
But now is not the time to think about this question. He patted Shen Er on the shoulder and left Shen Er with three mysterious words, "You don't understand."
Shen Er really didn't understand. He didn't understand why humans would do such a thankless task. This was the most unprofitable deal the priest had made since he followed him. It was even more unprofitable than saving those pregnant women before.
The most basic rule for a bionic warrior is that the master's orders are above all else. Although Shen Er felt that it was not worth it, he still chose to follow the priest's decision.
The fish tribe was starving to death, so the old people and children who escaped early had already started working.
They had three meals a day, and when they distributed the broth in the morning, the elders asked for an extra earthenware bowl. They saved some of the broth in their own bowls and poured it into the earthenware bowl, intending to give it to their priests to drink.
The children also wanted to pour some out, but were stopped by the elders, "You should drink more, so that you can grow into orcs like the hunting team warriors in the future."
Looking at their twig-like wrists, the children picked up the ceramic bowls and began to slurp the broth. As they drank, they thought that it would be better to look like the orcs from the foreign tribes, who were taller and bigger than the warriors of their fish tribe hunting team.
The orc from the Feather Tribe who was in charge of delivering meat soup to the elderly and children working in the Fish Tribe saw the bowl of meat soup saved by the elderly and wanted to tell the priest of the Fish Tribe that there was meat soup to drink.
When the words came to my lips, I suddenly remembered that Captain Shen Er didn't seem to say that he would send meat soup to the priests of the Fish Tribe. He only said that he would provide food and accommodation for the orcs of the Fish Tribe who could work. This tribe priest should not work for them, right?
The orcs of the Feather Tribe did not think about it any further. Anyway, the priest of the Fish Tribe had a bowl of broth. Orcs could not leave at will during work, so the orcs of the Feather Tribe agreed to help the old people and run another trip.
Carrying a bowl of meat soup, he came to the dormitory where the priest of the Fish Tribe lived. When he pushed the door open, he saw the priest of the Fish Tribe sitting hunched over on a makeshift small wooden bed.
There was a tall orc lying on the ground with severe burns. He looked black all over. The orcs of the Yu tribe took a closer look while putting the broth in the pot, and only then did they see that the man was covered in blood. They were shocked. How badly was he injured?
The priest of the Fish Tribe smelled the aroma of the broth and his stomach made a rumbling sound. But he had no intention of drinking the broth. His dry and chapped mouth moved slightly, his rough and old hands supported on the makeshift wooden bed, and his cloudy eyes stared at the orc on the bed.
"Ah..." The old priest of the Fish Tribe hunched his back, covered his face with his skinny and rough hands, and let out a long and helpless sigh that made people feel sad.
The orc from the Yu tribe who was delivering the meat couldn't bear to watch it anymore, so he put down the pottery bowl in his hand and said, "This is the broth your people saved for you, please eat some."
The orc from the Feather Tribe was looking at the orc who was most seriously injured on the small wooden bed. When he was delivering meat soup to the orcs from the Fish Tribe who were slightly injured, he heard from the orcs from the Fish Tribe that the chief was seriously injured and was being guarded by the priest.
Now it seems that this person should be the chief of the Fish Tribe. He can understand the feelings of the Fish Tribe priest, after all, their Feather Tribe almost lost their chief before.
At that time, their priests were also like this, they couldn't eat meat and couldn't sleep well. It was a sunny day, but their entire tribe seemed to be soaking in the rain.
The orc from the Yu tribe who was delivering the meat soup scratched his head and spoke hesitantly, "The priest from the Wood tribe is here. Why don't you go and ask the priest from the Wood tribe for help? Maybe he can find a way to save these people."
Finally, he emphasized: "But it is not certain that he can be saved. If the Wood Tribe priest says there is no hope, don't bother him."
After saying this, the orc from the Feather Tribe ran away, not giving the priest from the Fish Tribe a chance to ask further questions.
The priest of the Fish Tribe seemed to be grasping at the last straw. The nine orcs lying here were all the most powerful warriors of his Fish Tribe. Eight of these nine orcs were orc warriors of his Fish Tribe's hunting team, and the other one was the chief of his Fish Tribe.
After the fire started, they were busy saving the tribesmen and didn't care about their own injuries. As a result, they were seriously injured and could only lie here and wait for death.
Since sitting here last night, Yu Shui had only one question in his mind: if these nine people all died, how could the Yu tribe continue to survive in the seaside tribe?
Although they can work for foreign tribes and avoid dying of thirst or starvation, foreign tribes will not protect the Yu tribe from being annexed by other tribes.
The tribe lost so many orc warriors at once, and the Fish Tribe will eventually face threats from various tribes along the coast. It will be difficult for them to continue to survive here.
But if they could save him, even if only one person could be saved, their Fish Tribe would not be without even one level three orc warrior.
Yu Shui supported his stiff body and walked crookedly out. He wanted to find an orc to ask where the priest of the Wood Tribe lived, but the orcs of the Feather Tribe and the Wood Tribe were busy now. Yu Shui didn't know how long he walked around before he saw the orc with the feather totem on his face.
The orc showed Yu Shui the way and then transformed and flew away in a hurry. Yu Shui searched in the direction he pointed for a long time and finally saw a house guarded by two orcs.
He walked forward quickly and said anxiously: "I am Yu Shui, the priest of the Fish Tribe, and I want to meet the priest of the Wood Tribe."
One of the orcs with a leaf totem on his forehead replied, "The priest is not here. He has been out for a while. Do you want to stay here and wait or go back?"
Yu Shui's heart sank, and he stepped back involuntarily. The last ray of light was blocked, and his eyes went dark, and he fell backwards.
The guarding orc quickly grabbed Yu Shui and asked, "Are you okay?"
"It's okay, it's okay." Yu Shui tried to stand up, his head was still dizzy, and he waved his hand and walked slowly in the direction he came from. He had to go back and continue to guard the orc warriors of the tribe.
When Shen Nong arrived at the dormitory where the chief of the Fish Tribe lived, there was no one guarding it. The orc on the small wooden bed was twitching all over and making strange noises in his throat. The eight people lying on the upper and lower beds were not in a much better situation.
Shen Nong frowned. If he didn't save these people, they would die. However, Shen Nong didn't want to waste his superpowers and finally save the ungrateful wolves. So this time, just like when he saved the chief of the Yu tribe, he left some superpowers in these orcs.
As long as everyone doesn't make trouble, everyone can live in peace. But if they make trouble, that may not be the case.
The room was filled with glowing lights, like millions of fireflies flying in the dark jungle. As Shen Nong's ability level increased, his healing ability became much stronger than at the beginning.
The golden light was mixed in with the fluorescent light, entangled and inseparable. Not only did Shen Nong not show the slightest sign of fatigue, but even the energy stored in his spirit core did not decrease at all.
Ze didn't want Shen Nong to waste his energy to save these people. Every time Shen Nong consumed too much energy, he would feel very uncomfortable. After having that dream last night, Ze cared more about Shen Nong than before.
Ze originally wanted to use his own blood to save him, but his blood can make people become full of energy again when they are only breathing their last breath, replenish the dissipated energy, and regenerate cells, although the speed of regeneration is not as fast as Shen Nong's wood-based ability.
But his blood could not clear the smoke these orcs breathed into their lungs.
He could only settle for the second best and replenish as much energy as Shen Nong consumed.
The nine people's burn wounds had stopped bleeding, and the smoke in their lungs had been almost cleared. But for these orcs to recover and fully recover to their original state, as Shen Er said, it would take a year or even longer.
Shen Nong saw that it was almost time, and there was no point in continuing to consume his supernatural powers. These orcs could not absorb more energy to repair their bodies.
After withdrawing his supernatural power, Shen Nong turned to look at Ze, only to see that Ze looked pale. Shen Nong hurried forward, raised his hand to wipe the cold sweat from Ze's forehead, and asked worriedly, "What's wrong?"
Ze shook his head and rubbed Shen Nong's cheek soothingly with his large, warm palm, "It's okay, don't worry."
Although Ze didn't say it, Shen Nong guessed it in his heart. He was very familiar with this state, his supernatural powers were overdrawn.
Shen Nong took Ze back to rest. The orcs guarding outside saw Shen Nong and told him about the priest of the fish tribe coming to see him. Shen Nong thought about it and realized that he had not met this person along the way. However, he was in such a hurry to find Ze probably because of the injured orcs.
Yu Shui dragged his heavy steps back to the dormitory. He thought a lot along the way. It was impossible to migrate the tribe. At least they could eat enough here. Moreover, a tribe like theirs that didn't even have a third-level orc warrior would be the first to be annexed wherever they went.
He looked at the wooden door in front of him and pushed it open. Yu Shui made up his mind to leave by himself and let the orcs of the tribe join the Wood Tribe.
"The priest...is back?"
A faint voice sounded, Yu Shui's pace quickened, but not much faster, "Awake?"
Walking to the small wooden bed, Yu Shui took one look and realized something was wrong. The wound was starting to heal! Yu Shui was afraid that she was seeing things wrong because of her old eyesight, and she didn't dare to touch it, so she asked uncertainly, "How did your wound start to heal?"
Yuye's voice was hoarse and weak, and he spoke one word at a time. He spoke for a long time, "It was the priest of the Mu tribe who saved us."
Yu Shui quickly checked on the other orcs and found that everyone's wounds were beginning to heal. But his body suddenly couldn't support him anymore and he had to slide down to the ground. Yu Shui covered his face with his shaking hands and cried in a hoarse voice, "Okay...Okay..."
Yu Ye was worried about the priest's health and wanted to get up to check on him, but Yu Shui stopped him, "Don't move or talk, just lie still."
Yuye had no choice but to continue lying there, turning his eyes around to see if Yushui was okay. But after turning around for a long time, he could see nothing but the bunk bed.
Yu Shui adjusted his mood, and after sitting on the ground for a while, he felt that his body had regained some consciousness. He slowly stood up with the help of the wooden bed beside him. Yu Ye heard the noise and looked over, and felt that the priest's expression was not right.
This was the first time Yu Ye had seen this expression on the priest. He felt like calling out to the priest, but before he could open his mouth, he was blocked from speaking. "Take good care of your injuries. I'll be back soon."
Yu Ye nodded slightly and said with some concern: "Then the priest should come back soon." Yu Shui did not respond and walked straight out the door.
As Shen Nong helped Ze sit down, Shen Er came over with a few stones. He handed the stones to Shen Nong and said, "I found them in the Fish Tribe."
Shen Nong looked at the strange stone from left to right, then raised his eyes and said, "Glass?"
Shen Er nodded. "The silicon dioxide in the sand turned into glass when it encountered the fire. However, the amount of silicon in the sea sand is small and there are many impurities. The vitrified part is relatively small."
Glass… Shen Nong put the strange-shaped "glass" on the wooden table. It is not impossible to make glass. Sea sand is not good, but river sand can be used. Although there are more impurities, it is not impossible to extract.
There are simple manual glassmaking equipment in the glassmaking system. With the gold mines and jadeite from the marginal tribes, it is not impossible to buy one. But there are not enough people. The glass raw materials also need to go through multiple processes to purify and remove impurities. This step is very labor-intensive.
The wooden windows are a bit dark now, but they are still OK during the day. Shen Nong wanted to wait until later to build the glass factory, but the system suddenly made a "ding" sound.
[Host, didn't you say last time that you wanted to buy three high-level android warriors and one mid-level android warrior from me? ]
It would be fine if I didn't mention this. As soon as I mentioned Shen Nong, I remembered that I had been tricked. "I haven't even looked for you yet, but you delivered yourself to me first. Didn't you say that your bionic warriors have human emotions? What Shen Er said today doesn't seem to be emotional at all."
The system tried its best to defend itself, "It does have feelings, but you have to teach it. If you don't teach it, then it will definitely make the best choice when it encounters a situation it has never encountered before."
Shen Nong glanced at Shen Er. Although he looked exactly like a human and his skin was warm, Shen Nong always felt that there was a chill coming from him.
Okay, it’s just taking care of the kids.
Shen Nong knew what to do and stopped worrying. He asked the system, "Why are you suddenly talking about that intermediate bionic man? Didn't you say last time that you were afraid that the main system would think you were faking orders and deduct your salary, so you didn't let me buy so much at once?"
The system sighed and did not hide it from Shen Nong. It was useless to hide it anyway. People would be able to guess it in just a few words. "The main system contacted me yesterday and asked me to trade more gold with you. This thing is in great demand. Except for the beast world and ordinary primitive society, every small world needs it."
Shen Nong raised his eyebrows, "So short of it? But what does this have to do with intermediate bionic people?"
The system felt that this was a good idea and quickly said, "There are two types of intermediate bionic people, one is combat type and the other is scholar type. You can exchange it for a geologist and ask him to find various ores."
Host, you have to think carefully. The knowledge stored in the chip of this type of bionic person is different from the half-bottled knowledge of Shen Yi and the other three. And our main system only found you, and you can exchange all intermediate bionic people at half price. 】
There is no such thing as a free lunch, especially when it is a free lunch from the main system. Shen Nong asked, "Your main system is connected to so many planes, it can't be just the beast world where I am, right? You just said that there is also a low demand for gold in ordinary primitive societies, why don't you go there to exchange it?"
At this point, the system that had been chattering away before fell silent.
It sighed deeply and said speechlessly, "Don't mention it. The primitive society we connected with was a 500-pound pig. The primitive people had never seen such a fat pig. An entire tribe chased it all over the mountain with wood. Forget about letting it get gold. It's lucky that it can keep the pig alive."
Shen Nong understood. It turns out that humans are not the only ones who travel through time...
After knowing that the main system had no choice but to give him an advantage, Shen Nong did not hesitate. Shen Nong exchanged all the experts and scholars in astronomy, geology, chemistry, physics, language, traditional Chinese medicine, architecture, and art. There is a lack of knowledge here, and with these bionic people spreading knowledge, development will definitely be faster.
Moreover, Shen Nong also said that he would pay in installments. Ze was not feeling well now, Shen Nong could not let Ze be his power bank, and he did not want Ze to see that he was worried. So he told the system that he would pay the energy of two bionic people every ten days.
Not only did the system agree, it also agreed very quickly, for fear that if it was slow, Shen Nong would have to pay once every twenty days.
Shen Er and Ze were not surprised by the sudden appearance of eight bionic people in the room. Shen Er knew their identities, and Ze had seen this scene before.
The eight people included men, women, young and old, and no one was the same. Shen Nong continued to marry Shen Si to Shen Shiyi in the order of exchange.
After naming them, Shen Nong asked Shen Er to take the other seven people to settle down in the dormitory, leaving behind the expert bionic man who was doing geological research.
"See if there is anything useful around here." Shen Nong wanted to leave with his men, and Ze quickly stood up and held Shen Nong's hand.
Shen Nong wanted to tell Ze to have a good rest, but he swallowed the words. Ze told Shen Nong about the scene in his dream after asking in the morning.
Shen Nong could also feel that since he had that nightmare, Ze was afraid that he would leave his sight. Shen Nong explained many times that dreams are dreams and reality is reality.
But it was obvious that Ze couldn't listen. The seeds of fear had been planted in his heart and began to take root. Ze's mother died in front of him, and now he dreamed that he disappeared in front of him, which undoubtedly increased Ze's sense of uneasiness.
In addition, the orcs’ view on dreams is different from that of the StarCraft. At this time, Ze completely believes that what happened in his dream will happen in the future.
Shen Nong had no way to convince Ze, but he also knew that Ze's inner lack of security and his misunderstanding of dreams led to the current situation.
He simply let Ze go. Anyway, before he was sent to manage the military guards, Ze had been following him all day long.
However, Shen Nong was still worried about Ze's health, thinking that it would be better to wait until Ze had a good rest before going. Ze took Shen Nong's hand and said, "It's already fine. The priest can use your light to check."
Shen Nong was stunned for a moment and realized that the "light" Ze mentioned was his supernatural power. Just in case, Shen Nong spent infrastructure points to let the system scan Ze's body. After hearing the system say that everything was fine, Shen Nong was relieved. The three of them left the dormitory and walked towards the mountain.
In summer, there are many mosquitoes, snakes and ants on the mountain. Before setting off, Shen Nong brought enough juice squeezed from round-leaf grass and wormwood. After applying it on his body, he felt refreshed, and mosquitoes, snakes and ants would take a detour when they smelled it.
On the way, we met a sea tribe orc who was bitten all over the head and was still looking for the priest and the chieftain all over the mountain. However, the orc did not see us behind the tree and ran away in a hurry.
Shen Nong knew that the Sea Tribe was too hostile to them, so he had to detain the Sea Tribe's chief priest for a few more days. During these few days, he wanted to pull the other tribes of the Sea Tribe into a unified camp, so that no tribe in the Sea Tribe would be able to make any waves.
"Priest, we have discovered something ahead." Shen Wu squatted on the ground, holding the factory-provided surveying tools in his hand, and jumped up excitedly.
He rushed to Shen Nong and wanted to hug Shen Nong, but was blocked by Ze. Shen Wu was not annoyed, and hugged Ze directly. If Ze had not pushed fast enough, according to Shen Wu's posture, he would have to hold Ze and spin in place.
Shen Nong held his forehead and chuckled. The bionic people can set their own personalities. Shen Nong felt that one person with a cold personality, Shen Er, was enough.
Therefore, the personalities of the eight people this time were all adjusted to a sunny direction. It was just that I didn't control it well at the beginning. The first two were adjusted a bit too much. Shen Wu's eccentric personality seemed a bit unsuitable for geological research.
But if Shen Wu is like this, how terrible Shen Si must be. Thinking of this, Shen Nong shivered his shoulders subconsciously.
