Chapter 150 Rammed Earth City Construction Plan
Chapter 150 Rammed Earth City Construction Plan
The goblins were thrilled to see Greedy Meat return to the party!
"Chief! I'll join too!"
"Let me go first!"
But getting excited won't help; if you can't do it, you can't do it.
Even if you include the first one, the Greedy Meat Goblin, in the end, you can only recite the name of six goblins correctly.
Of these six goblins, only Greedy Meat was originally a warrior captain, and therefore only it received cheese as its reward.
The other five goblins were ordinary goblins from the gathering team.
Therefore, their reward was socks and boots, as well as the title of new gathering team leader.
Zi Yi distributed socks and shoes to the five goblins, telling them to each lead 20 goblins to form a gathering team later.
But this only split up a small portion of the goblin gathering into teams.
If we remove the reserved slots from the two warrior teams that haven't yet expanded to 20, we can select 12 captains from all the goblin gathering teams.
That means there are still 7 vacancies.
However, this is better than Li Mosi had expected.
After all, they only gave us two days.
The reason for the rush to divide into teams was twofold: firstly, to finalize the matter and set an example for the remaining goblins.
Secondly, it also serves to select the most proactive and intelligent goblins.
"The boots are so pretty."
"Cheese tastes better than boots."
Wow~ so close!
"It's alright, I would have been sad if you had become the captain."
The remaining goblins squeaked and cried.
Some envied the five goblins for becoming the captain, some envied the greedy ones for getting more food, and others regretted that they had only read half of it correctly.
The most outrageous thing is to feel happy for a friend's failure.
"Shoes are great!"
"Great! Stepping on stones doesn't hurt anymore!"
The five team leaders lined up to one side as Zi Yi requested, and stood there happily wearing their new shoes.
They were not far from the other goblins, but the atmosphere was so different that it was like they were in two separate rooms.
"Quiet!"
With a squeak from Zi Yi, all the goblins stopped whispering and looked at him again.
He thought about his late teacher's previous arrangements and then spoke.
"You only got halfway through reciting it! Stand in front of me!"
"Wow?"
"The leader called me?"
Eighteen goblins who had just been regretting not being able to pronounce them all correctly stepped forward.
It contains four Goblin Craftsmen, seven Goblin Warriors, and seven Gathering Goblins.
Zi Yi confirmed it was indeed these guys by smell.
He first waved to a few soldiers.
"You are now soldiers, return to your ranks."
Wow~
"All right."
The seven warriors returned to the group with bewildered expressions.
Then Zi Yi turned to look at the four craftsmen.
"The four of you, do you want more food? Or do you want to wait until Nian Shun becomes the captain of the crafts team?"
Craftsmen's team?
The four goblins were stunned.
"I want food!" *2
"I want to be the captain!" *2
The four goblins made two different sounds.
They looked at each other.
Ziyi nodded.
"Okay. If you like choosing stones and spearheads, I'll give you a palm-sized piece of salted meat every day."
"I'll give you opportunities to whittle wooden sticks and break stones. You can come to me anytime to read the second half of the pinyin table. If you can read it smoothly, you can become the captain of the crafts team."
"Thank you, Chief!"
The four goblins had different ideas, but they were all satisfied.
Zi Yi then looked at the remaining goblins.
"You are a bit smarter than the other goblins. If you'd like, you can learn to be craftsmen from these four. Then you won't have to do the gathering and carrying work anymore."
No more collecting and transporting?!
"We are willing!"
"I don't want to!"
Only one of the seven goblins was unwilling.
All the goblins around it looked at it.
This is a goblin that returned earlier, but it hasn't really made a name for itself, and Ziyi doesn't remember it either.
However, after a moment's thought, he remembered the goblin's name.
"You unlucky bastard, why won't you agree?"
Sensing the gazes around him, the unlucky fellow nervously lowered his head.
"Chief, I... I want to be the captain. And I've heard that craftsmen grow flesh on their buttocks and bleed when they defecate."
Just as Ziyi was about to call it back to the group, it paused when it heard the second half of the sentence.
The other ten goblins, who could only read half of the words, looked at each other, while the four goblin craftsmen shook their heads.
"puff--"
As a result, the meat lover standing to the side couldn't hold back any longer.
"Hehehehe..."
"Hahahaha..."
The surrounding goblins all laughed, and the unlucky guy lowered his head even further, his face turning dark green.
Zi Yi gritted her teeth and tried her best to hold on.
He quickly waved his hand: "Go back to your unit, go back."
"Thank you, thank you, Chief."
The unlucky guy breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this and ran away to rejoin the group.
As arranged, Zi Yi distributed copper bowls and spoons to the ten craftsmen, and also gave salted meat to Ai Xuan Stone and Da Maotou.
The new houses were reassigned to the soldiers, and it was finally time for meals again.
……
"Hahahahahahaha..."
After hearing Zi Yi's story, the saintess couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Li Mo wanted to pinch her mouth, but the experienced Haji Saint pursed her lips first, making it impossible for him to pinch her.
He could only pinch Haki Saint's cheek with his other hand.
"Roar roar roar roar roar roar..."
Haki Saint let out a laugh similar to that of Santa Claus.
Zi'an smirked: "These goblins are actually quite clever."
She learned pinyin even faster than him!
"Pinyin is not difficult."
Li Mosi shook her head.
"These goblins are different from you. They're not children anymore, so it's normal for them to learn quickly if they work hard."
After saying that, he turned to look at the group of goblins who were loudly squabbling while holding bowls.
"Captain, those boots are so cool!"
"Oh dear, we simply can't make it!"
"I heard you don't have to worry about stepping on stones when you walk!"
"Of course! I've told you all that listening to the leader is the right thing to do!"
The goblins, wearing ankle boots, looked satisfied.
The newly minted goblins were also very happy.
"This copper bowl is amazing!"
"No strange wood smell!"
"It even has a sweet taste! The rice tastes even better!"
Even the greedy meat who got the cheese was showing off to everyone in the warrior ranks.
"Smell it! This new cheese smells amazing!"
"Get out of here!"
"Wow, it smells like roasted acorns!"
"If you show me the cheese again, I'm going to snatch it and eat it!"
"Ouch~ I have it every day... Hey! You're really stealing it! Give it back!"
"puff--"
Seeing the goblins causing a ruckus, the prisoners were starting to lose their composure.
Lacas smelled the aroma of the meat in his bowl and couldn't help but exclaim with delight.
"I've said it before, following the adults is the right thing to do."
"what?"
Soth, whose face was still half blue, stared at him.
"You damn fool! If you hadn't egged me on, I wouldn't still be feeling ashamed now—"
"Hey! No fighting!"
The four safety officers quickly put down their bowls to maintain order.
As night fell, everything returned to silence.
Since the giant wolf was dealt with, no wolf howls have been heard in the tribe's nights, only the occasional bird calls and the sound of wind rustling through the leaves.
I can't even hear the insects chirping anymore.
However, tonight, compared to before, there were a few more whispers of goblins reciting.
Feeling the peace and tranquility of the present, Zi Yi smiled and pushed the wolf cubs away before lighting the campfire again.
"Simply building these rudimentary mud houses won't be enough, will it? Can they withstand the snow? Won't we all have to huddle together again in winter?"
Haki Saint's beeping once again broke the tranquility of the night.
Ziyi didn't care: "Isn't it warmer to huddle together in winter?"
"Exactly!"
Zi'an shoved the wolf cub, which reeked of urine, into Hagi Saint's face.
"You keep talking about how big your house is, but what's the difference between your house and a covered grassland? I get anxious just thinking about sleeping in it."
"Hey! Get away from me! I have guards, you know!"
"You think you have guards? In winter, I'd just leave you at the door to be eaten by wild boars."
"Quiet, Ziyi, Zian, come here."
Li Mosi interrupted a few of the clowns.
Hagi Saint's words reminded him.
If you want to bring about a system-recognized "civilizational transformation" in goblins, building a city might be one way!
They built it using rammed earth!
