Yuan laid on Fu Rui’s bed, her eyes filled with stars. “Rui is so charming when he says this, meow~”
The other beast-eared females agreed with this. Fu Rui was especially charming when he was strong.
“Then what should we do?” Xia asked.
“We should make a large number of bows and arrows so that each person can have one. The tribe should also have two spare bows.”
Fu Rui started to give orders. “We have to prepare sufficient arrows and poison the arrowheads. Otherwise, the porcupines that were shot will still be able to resist and might hurt our members. Other than that, we also have to strengthen the defenses outside the village and set up traps and walls.”
“Leave them all to me.” Li took them all. “Teach me how to make them one by one. I’ll teach the rest.”
“Sure.”
Under their gazes, Fu Rui polished a new bow.
Previously, when he was sleeping in Li’s room, he had already exchanged for the Archery Crafting Method through the system.
As it was the most primitive bow and arrow manufacturing method, it was also very cheap. It only cost one Civilization Point.
He had spent the past two days digesting this knowledge and was already very familiar with the production process.
The girls seemed to understand what was going on and wanted to personally work on making the bows. However, they didn’t know where to start.
However, Fu Rui was prepared for this. He smiled and said, “I’ve set up a notice board in the village. Tomorrow morning, I’ll draw a blueprint there and record everything. If there’s anything you don’t know, you can go there to take a look.”
“Rui, sorry to trouble you.” Li looked at him with a deep gaze.
“There’s no need to be so polite. There are still traps and walls to be made. These are all big projects, so the entire village has to work hard.”
Fu Rui waved his hand and changed the topic. “Other than these, you have to prepare some other things.”
“Like what?”
“Shoes.”
Fu Rui pointed at the sports shoes on his feet. There were already many cracks on them, making them look like they would be completely destroyed soon.
He then pointed at Yuan’s injured feet and said, “The conditions aren’t good now, but we still have to make everyone wear straw sandals. It’s too inconvenient to move barefoot all the time.”
“Rui, teach me how to make them, meow~”
Yuan pouted. “Yuan also wants to work for the tribe.”
“Okay.” Fu Rui smiled and stroked her ear. “I’ll teach you.”
Fu Rui brought over a large bunch of dried grass and taught her how to weave them together to stabilize their structure.
Their conditions were limited. Thus, the sandals could only protect their soles. As for other parts of the foot, they could only slowly improve the design when the production capacity increased in the future.
Following Fu Rui’s teaching, the system rewarded him with six Civilization Points as a reward for improving the civilization level of the village.
After dinner, the beast-eared females, who were used to sleeping and waking up early, had no intention of resting.
Even though it was already dark, the preparations were still in full swing.
Yuan had brought Tu Tu and other clever and deft rabbit-eared females to weave straw sandals.
As for Xia, Wei Wei and the others, they went out to gather materials. They cut down large amounts of bamboo and wood, which would be handed over to the other beast-eared girls to process.
Under Fu Rui’s instructions, the materials were made into chevaux de frise that were placed outside the village. Then, it was covered with sharp blades made of sharp vines and various stone materials.
This was the simplified version of a city wall.
Li had been learning from the side and had basically grasped the key points.
She could be said to be the smartest beast-eared girl in the village. As long as it was not something particularly complicated, she would be able to learn it immediately.
As for making bows and arrows, they would have to wait until tomorrow. After all, Fu Rui did not want everyone to tire themselves out.
When he saw that the time on the system panel was 9pm, he told all the beast-eared girls to go back and rest.
Xia had wanted to continue with her work with her companions, but Fu Rui stopped them.
“If you don’t rest properly, how will you have the strength? What if the porcupine tribe invades us tomorrow?”
“Fine…”
Xia could only give up. “Everyone, listen to the Village Chief. Go back and rest.”
“Oh right, Rui, you said that you wanted to apply poison to the arrowheads. How do we do that?”
Li suddenly thought of this question.
Fu Rui thought for a moment and said, “I’ll think of something else. You go back and rest first. Good night.”
“Good night!”
After spending some time with Fu Rui, the beast-eared girls gradually learned the modern language that he spoke.
At night, Fu Rui returned to his room to sleep. Meanwhile, Yuan had never left the room since she couldn’t walk.
He brought a cup of water and a willow branch over to brush Yuan’s teeth.
“How many pairs of shoes did you make today?”
“Well… Everyone has just started learning how to make the shoes, and they’re doing it a little slowly, so we only made about a dozen pairs.”
“That’s fine as well. We’ll give priority to those who are out working tomorrow. After that, we’ll make more during the day,” instructed Fu Rui.
“Meow, okay~”
Yuan nodded obediently and started brushing her teeth.
She was still a little unskilled as she clumsily cleaned her sharp teeth.
Meanwhile, Fu Rui began to consider how to apply poison to the arrowheads.
Although the flint arrows were sharp, they might not be enough to deal with the porcupines that had thick skin.
Thus, poison was the key to defeating them.
Fu Rui played with Yuan’s tail and gradually formed an idea.
