Chapter 61: Come Here!
The formation of the hunting team went very smoothly, and Lu Xi did not come forward in person, leaving Cross to handle the whole process by himself.
As Lu Xi, it is not appropriate to do the affairs of Xinwa Village personally, and even pay too much attention to it, in the other world, you must adapt to the rules of the other world, don't be too maverick, otherwise the first to betray you is the people around you.
Leaving Cross to do these things, by the way, he can also cultivate his ability to do things, Lu Xi feels that it is good to have an assistant who can "keep secrets" by his side to help with the work.
She, a noble lady, should still have some aristocratic ladies.
However, when she heard Cross relay the process afterwards, the number of people who signed up was a bit more than Lu Xi imagined, and she originally thought that there would be few women willing to join the hunting team.
Because half of the women were with children, Lu Xi felt that they needed to take care of their children.
It's not that she's discriminating against them, but the inherent impression on the earth makes Lu Xi feel that taking care of children is a more important thing than hunting, or rather, she thinks that the "mother" should choose to stay and take care of the children.
But this is another world, a world where countless humans are struggling to survive under the threat of monsters, and women will not be let go by monsters because of their motherhood.
Bringing children and hunting monsters are often not two separate things, and many mothers need to hunt those weak monsters on the premise of protecting their children to ensure survival.
Lu Xi has always seen civilians who are mainly villagers, and they have honed into the most suitable mode of survival, with stronger men taking on the task of guarding and hunting, and women handling less dangerous manual labor while ensuring the safe breeding of offspring.
This is by no means discrimination, after all, in a world where monsters appear at any time, it is certain that the stronger the individual, the better the security of the village, and most women really do not have a physical advantage.
The most important thing is that often when there is danger, these women need to leave with the fire of the village, because they are the future of the village, and as long as they are alive, the village has a chance to be rebuilt, just like these people in Xinwa Village, and it is these young women who have survived the most.
Although these women have been protected on the way to the Soul Farm, guarded in the middle of the ranks by men who are not as strong as them, this is not because they have no ability to protect themselves and can only rely on men.
Rather, it is arranged from the level of survival, because their role is more important, so they will die later.
In fact, in the vast elemental continent, outside the human towns, there is a group of humans who live like savages.
If the people of Xinwa Village don't make it to the Soul Farm, the survivors will probably become "savages" after they die to the point where only a few remain.
They have no fixed place to live, they can't get food by farming, they can only roam the wild like monsters, and live by hunting those weak monsters, and death is their norm.
Sometimes they walk alone, sometimes they form groups of three or five, just to see if the monsters they meet can disperse them, and after they are scattered, whether they can meet again.
As a result, many children are born without a father, either because they don't know which one is their father, because their father is already dead, or because they are scattered when they encounter a monster.
The mothers were left to take care of their babies themselves, and hunt while they were carrying them—and at this time, without companions, they could not rely on anyone but themselves.
Amazingly, women in the wild also have the highest survival rates.
Lu Xi just hasn't gotten used to the differences of the other world, but she has a good attitude of self-reflection and listened to Cross continue.
Lu Xi selected Sally, who was selected to be an embroidery teacher, and also signed up for the hunting team, but Cross refused on the grounds that "Miss Lucy has other arrangements for you", so that the scheduled "embroidery class" could be continued.
Of course, there are a few people who did not sign up for the hunting team, partly because they were not suitable for physical reasons, and partly because they did not have the courage themselves, Cross did not force them to participate, after all, it was true that some people needed to stay, follow the carpenter Kent to learn how to make tents and furniture, and plan for the future.
Lu Xi didn't care, anyway, no one was idle in the end, it didn't matter what they did.
After listening to Cross's report, Lu Xi nodded, asked him to go back to work, and didn't let him continue to follow, he ran to the craftsman Uga's house, ready to discuss the matter of weapons.
There is no way, farm residents such as the craftsman Uga and the hunter Anos are not too friendly to Lu Xi, and Lu Xi is afraid that Cross will see the emotions that affect him.
When playing games, these characters with sharp personalities are cute, but after they become reality, these characters with sharp personalities are a little unbearable.
After all, you can accept all kinds of humiliation from the paper people on your phone, but you can't stand the handsome guys and beauties in reality who speak sharply to you.
But Lu Xi is actually okay, in the final analysis, they just have a bad attitude, and it's not aimed at Lu Xi himself, it's treating everyone equally.
No, Lu Xi touched his chin, or treated others as "kind and friendly" as Lu Xi, Lu Xi has the identity of a farmer, and he will be more "respected".
Uga was still striking iron in the forging room, the heavy hammer raised and fell, striking a spark, his naked upper body, his muscles bulging and retracting, and the sweat from the heat slid down the well-defined muscle lines.
Lu Xi watched it for a long time, and finally came back to her senses, she felt that if Wuhe could strike iron at a fixed time every day, she could move a table, chair and bench every day to watch the scenery.
Unfortunately, Uga's time for striking iron was never fixed, sometimes he spent the whole day in the forging room, and sometimes he sat at his workbench all day.
Lu Xi glanced at the courtyard, she hadn't been here for a long time, and when she wasn't doing tasks, there weren't too many places where she needed to use Uhe, unlike Mrs. Millie, who had to buy seeds every day, so she could see it every day.
There have also been a lot of changes in the courtyard - unlike other residents' courtyards that don't change much throughout the year, the courtyard of Uhe's house, Lu Xi is different every time he comes over, and all kinds of things are placed in different places.
Seeing that Uhe didn't mean to come out for a while, Lu Xi didn't really stare at people's bodies for more than ten minutes in a row, just looked at those fragmentary objects in the courtyard, and glanced at Uhe from time to time from a different angle.
Soon, an item on the ground made Lu Xi stop looking, she looked left and right for a long time, and always felt that this part seemed familiar, but she couldn't think of what it was.
"Miss Lucy." Uga wiped the sweat on his body with a towel while greeting Lu Xi, since Lu Xi told him about the bicycle last time, Uga's attitude towards Lu Xi was not as unkind as it was at the beginning.
There is a feeling that I have inherited Lu Xi's kindness, so I can't keep a cold face on Lu Xi.
Lu Xi looked at the four different parts, and said with some hesitation, "This, it can't be the bicycle you made, right?" ”
"Yes." Uga nodded directly, and replied in a very natural tone, "Shape is an easy thing to solve, but for the parts mentioned before, it is difficult to find suitable materials." ”
So after he got the shape out of the general outline, he just didn't get it anymore and focused on the parts and materials.
The reason why Lu Xi saw this shape was so strange was because it was only a half-finished product, and Wu He was not interested in carefully carving its appearance for something that could not be made yet.
Lu Xi didn't expect that Wuhe was really making bicycles, and touched his head, although it seems that the bicycle is not difficult, but it can only be said to be simple on the basis of a certain industrial development.
For example, the most important material for bicycle tires is rubber, what can be used to replace this in another world? How can you easily find the right material without experimenting 1,800 times?
Another example is the car chain, not to mention what metal is used, there is no unified processing workshop, if you want to make a car chain that can run normally, how much effort does it have to pay to do it?
Many things look simple, because in this era, there are steps to build with a solid enough foundation.
But that wasn't the purpose of Lu Xi's coming, and she didn't tactfully test it, and said directly to Uhe, "I need some weapons that can be used by ordinary people, can you do it?" ”
Wu He glanced at Lu Xi, and his expression didn't even change, "What kind of weapon?" How much? ”
Lu Xi blinked, and at this time, she suddenly felt that Uga seemed to be a little different from other resident NPCs.
She still remembers the first time she met Mayor the Demon Pet Breeder, because he talked about the strange changes he had in an instant because he already had a Demon Pet.
Lu Xi knew that it was probably because her behavior exceeded the initial setting of these farm dweller NPCs, after all, she was a novice "player", how could she start with her own magic pet?
But when it comes to things that are beyond the scope of the game system, Uga has no fluctuations normally, as if there is no difference between Lu Xi and those outsiders in his eyes.
Is it the reason why the game system has been updated several times? Lu Xi thought in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face, and replied to Wu He with a normal expression.
"It's best to have a complete set of armor, not too heavy, have a certain protective ability, and can move freely, weapons should be machetes, spears, bows and arrows, oh, and shields, the preliminary same fifty sets."
Although there are not so many people in Xinwa Village, and there are only more than 20 members of the hunting team, Lu Xi still has made a satisfactory arrangement, and it will be easier to replace the damaged ones when the time comes.
The machete can be used to chop grass to open the way, and it can also be used for hand-to-hand combat, and the spear is used to deal with some monsters that are not suitable for approaching, so as not to be injured after getting close, these two are the basic weapons that Lu Xi prepared for the hunting team.
As for the bow and arrow, a means of long-distance attack, in fact, Lu Xi's idea is not very big, he just thinks that it is better than nothing, this group of people in Xinwa Village has not been formally trained, not to mention whether they can shoot accurately, whether they can pull the bowstring or not is a problem.
After all, the combat effectiveness of the bow and arrow mainly lies in the strength of the bowstring, the bowstring is too strong to be pulled, the force is too small, and the bow and arrow cannot shoot far, so it does no harm.
"Got it." Uga replied casually, as if there was no trouble, and turned around to return to the forge room.
Lu Xi blinked, she didn't expect Uhe to be so refreshing, but she still hesitated and spoke, "Uh, that's okay?" ”
Uga's footsteps paused, but he didn't look back, and continued to walk.
Lu Xi was about to speak, when a system notification suddenly popped up.
[System Notice: After being confirmed by the system, the player has reached a trading relationship with the craftsman Uga, and the handling fee has been deducted 1 gold coin, as well as 100 sand and gravel ×tree wood, 100 frost dew tree wood ×, 100 lapis lazuli ×, 100 steel stone ×, 100 cotton ×cloth, and 50 King Kong boar skin × in the player's system backpack. 】
Lu Ximeng's eyes widened, and for a moment he felt a sense of regret that he shouldn't have reminded her, and he always felt that if she didn't speak, Uhe might not even think about asking her for materials.
White prostitution is not necessarily very happy, but when you find that you can be a white prostitute but miss it, you must be very annoyed.
"What about time?" Lu Xi thought about it and asked, she wanted to arrange people to go out to do things earlier, and if she waited for several days to deliver the goods, it would be a bit troublesome.
"In two hours, come and get it." Uga's voice was calm, as if with such a large number of weapons, it wasn't a problem at all.
Lu Xi smacked his tongue, this is also the blessing of the game system, under normal circumstances, there are not ten days and half a month, so many weapons and equipment don't think it can be solved.
Two hours was not a long time, and Lu Xi took a look at the scene on the Lingyuan Farm Square by the way, and then took Xiao Yuan and Mao Miao, ready to go out to find Marko.
On the square of the Lingyu Farm, work is in full swing, and the next group of people in Xinwa Village will obviously live here for a long time, and the residence must be the first to be solved.
Fortunately, they have a lot of experience in sleeping in the open, and the environment on the square is very good, and it has been a good weather without any wind and rain recently, so there are not many things to worry about.
Even after getting the weapon, Lu Xi won't let them go out to participate in the hunt immediately, at least they have to be familiar with it for a day or two, and they don't even know how to use the weapon, so they will face those monsters, wouldn't they go directly to death.
At the same time, you can also take a look at these children who are only ten years old, whether they have any talent, even if Lu Xi can't train them well, but he doesn't want them to waste their talents, talents are rare.
Lu Xi walked out of the Lingyuan Farm...... Not to mention that she was still stepping on the bluestone road of Lin'er Farm, but it looked like she had indeed stepped out of the confinement of the Spiritual Farm.
Lu Xi didn't do anything else, because she felt that if she was standing here, Marco should be able to know what she wanted to express and would come out to meet her.
It's over, and I always feel that the background of this world is getting bigger and bigger.
Actually, I didn't want to write about such a big background at first......
