I Became The Chief Of A Primitive Village

Chapter 1016, A Conservative Number

Su Bai spent a good while giving Yu Ying instructions before she took the soybeans and headed into the greenhouse.

He lowered his head and continued processing matters, the Shaman Bone Tablet materials once again piled high on his desk.

Although many things accumulated on the desk every day, there was not the slightest hint of progress.

It was rather like saying someone was busy every day, but when they actually thought about it carefully, they couldn’t quite work out what they were busy with. The principle was the same.

Su Bai sighed, looking at those damaged Shaman Bone Tablets, thinking that getting the Tribe to develop rapidly was still a long and arduous task. He stretched his muscles and bones, saying, “If these few Skills can be made into Shaman Bone Tablets, the Tribe’s strength would be greatly enhanced.”

Su Bai still wanted to quickly produce more Shaman Bone Tablets first, because a major war would arrive very soon.

The people of the Dark Scorpion Tribe absolutely would not allow the Flame Dragon Tribe to develop peacefully, and would definitely try every means to eliminate this Tribe.

Although they would only send some people over in the early stages, these people posed no threat whatsoever to the Flame Dragon Tribe. But in the later stages, they would inevitably have to face the Dark Scorpion Tribe head-on. This was absolutely unavoidable.

Su Bai certainly was not afraid, he simply wanted to make the Tribe’s strength even greater before that time, to reduce the Tribe’s casualties to an even lower level.

Zero casualties was naturally somewhat far-fetched, but wouldn’t it be better if he could try to achieve as few as possible?

[The current Shaman Bone Tablets include Curing, Growth Acceleration, Taming, and Extraction and Conversion. The missing Shaman Bone Tablets are Flame Manipulation, Lie Detection, Contract, and Danger Foresight…] Su Bai calculated silently in his mind. [All are useful, but they’re also the most difficult to make. I can only experiment bit by bit…]

The final Flame Manipulation, Lie Detection and so on were all newly opened Skills, and he had already been exploring them for a very long time, but there had not been the slightest progress.

With a Flame Manipulation Shaman Bone Tablet, even if Warriors went deep into the forest they would not need to be afraid, because most Ferocious Beasts feared fire.

Moreover, Flame Manipulation was extremely Heaven Defying. As long as one had the tiniest spark, they could manipulate that tiny spark into an extremely large fireball.

Using it for combat would definitely be an extremely top-tier ability, a very good trump card for preserving one’s life when held in hand.

As for Lie Detection, this Skill could be used by people in the Police Department, for interrogating criminals and such, so they could avoid being deceived by the other party’s lies.

Contract was aimed at those newly recovered slaves, enabling them to achieve one hundred percent loyalty, which was very important for the Tribe.

Danger Foresight went without saying. When Warriors entered the forest or went to war, this was something that could preserve their lives.

Precisely because these Skills were all so useful, Su Bai wanted to quickly make these Skills into Shaman Bone Tablets.

[It’s just a pity that Iron Arm and Finger Gun can’t be made into Shaman Bone Tablets. I’m afraid there’s no way to operate them at all.] Su Bai froze when he thought of this, taking quite a while to come back to his senses. [No, wait, perhaps it really is possible.]

Previously, he had not given these two Skills any thought, because in what form should these two Skills appear on Shaman Bone Tablets?

Su Bai felt it was rather impossible to achieve, but just now he had thought of a different direction.

He activated the Iron Wall Skill, and his entire right arm became as hard as steel.

[If I crush the Shaman Bone Tablet while using it, wouldn’t that trigger the Skill?] Su Bai waved his right arm thoughtfully. “Perhaps this can be done. Let’s try it and see.”

Thinking of this, he was quite satisfied, recording all his thoughts from just now.

[As for Finger Gun, forget it. Making it into a Shaman Bone Tablet would require expending massive amounts of time and energy, and the implementation might end up somewhat inadequate.] Su Bai rejected this idea without hesitation. [The Tribe already has manual firearms now, and the firing speed of the manual firearms is faster than activating a Shaman Bone Tablet.]

That was right, because after making the Finger Gun Skill into a Shaman Bone Tablet would mean using one Tablet to only fire one bullet. How helpful would this be?

Rather than wasting so much time making this Shaman Bone Tablet, researching how to convert this Skill into a Shaman Bone Tablet, it would be better to directly use manual firearms.

[Once the rainy season ends, there will soon be Mid Grade Assistance again. I just don’t know what it will be this time?] Su Bai was very much looking forward to it in his heart. The Skills that had appeared recently were truly getting better and better.

This undoubtedly allowed him to establish a firm foothold in the primitive era. At the very beginning, he had been worried.

But ever since the Skills bestowed upon him became more and more numerous, that feeling of daily anxiety had already disappeared. Moreover, Su Bai currently had a Ferocious Beast Crystal in him, which could greatly enhance his own Shaman Power.

Making Shaman Bone Tablets every day consumed massive amounts of Shaman Power. Sometimes after making Shaman Bone Tablets, he was already somewhat mentally and physically exhausted. But ever since obtaining the Ferocious Beast Crystal, Su Bai’s Stamina had noticeably increased considerably, and his own Shaman Power had also been strengthened.

The current him could be directly called a High Grade Totem Warrior without exaggeration.

“I must upgrade the Tribe’s Warriors too quickly. Having them all limited to just Early-Stage Totem Warriors won’t do.” Su Bai frowned slightly when he realised this. “It’s just that Ferocious Beast Crystals aren’t very easy to obtain. Once the rainy season ends, I still need to think of a method to obtain more.”

If it were the previous Small Tribe, it would not have mattered. Back then there were few people, and there wasn’t such urgency regarding whether Totem Warriors broke through to the next Grade.

But now the Flame Dragon Tribe had already become a Medium Tribe, and was making more and more enemies. Of course, it wasn’t that they deliberately wanted to make enemies.

It was simply that the more excellently they developed, the more they would suffer over the jealousy of others. This was perfectly normal.

Among the Flame Dragon Tribe’s enemies, quite a few Tribes had High Grade or Mid Grade Totem Warriors within them. Considering each Grade could take on five opponents of a lower Grade.  Even if they held cold weapons or firearms in their hands, such enemies could not be brought down in one go. One still needed to be careful and there was a high risk of losses.

“The Tribe currently has three Mid Grade Totem Warriors. At the minimum, there needs to be ten.” Su Bai’s brows lowered.

Ten was still a very conservative number. The number he desired in his heart was definitely not so few. But if there were to be more, it also was not realistic. Better to set a small goal first.

“Next year, the number of Totem Warriors should increase, and Warrior Trainees as well. This is at least somewhat comforting.” Su Bai murmured to himself.

He still had considerable confidence. After all, making everyone’s lives so good, raising the probability of awakening was not impossible.
