Chapter 20

 

[Favorability Completed]

[Panel Upgraded, New Features Available]

[Basic Guidance System Activated]

Lu Yu was taken aback for a moment. Guidance? Could it be the kind of guidance he was thinking of…?

Wait.

Another thing occurred to Lu Yu.

Why did the favorability suddenly reach maximum? Wasn’t it still lacking ten percent?

Could it be because of the pill?

But isn’t giving pill similar to feeding food?

Feeding food only increases a tiny bit, but giving pill increases this much?…

Seeing Lu Yu staring blankly ahead halfway through his sentence, Tai Lie couldn’t help but stand up, “What’s wrong?”

Lu Yu snapped out of his thoughts, put away the panel, looked at the perfectly proportional yet not exaggerated chest in front of him, his mind went blank, he averted his gaze, touched his nose, and found a topic, “Nothing, um, I was thinking, we should also make some armor.”

Tai Lie’s physique is so much better than his chicken-like physique, he should exercise more…

Armor? Referring to those things people are holding?

Tai Lie glanced around, bent down to pick up a wooden shield that had fallen to the ground, smashed it with one punch, then turned to look at him, “With this kind of armor, it’s better not to have it.”

Lu Yu: …

Tai Lie thought for a moment, then picked up another wooden shield, looked at its size, weighed it, and reluctantly felt satisfied. He handed it to Lu Yu, “Take it.”

Lu Yu took it dumbfoundedly. Wasn’t he just disdainful of it?

Tai Lie said, “I don’t need it, but you do.”

Lu Yu: … Okay.

After cleaning up the battlefield, the Matai people sat together to discuss this invasion.

Xia Cao worried, “What if those people keep coming? Do we need to move away?”

Indeed, the Matai people could repel those people, but their strength and location had been exposed, and the hunting team couldn’t protect them in the village every day. Not going out to hunt would eventually be unsafe.

In fact, since the last time those people came, Lu Yu had considered moving. But people can leave, but the village can’t go with them. It would be a pity to abandon such a potential stronghold for future wars, and besides—

Shan Pu angrily said, “No! If they come again, we’ll continue to fight to the end!”

The Matai people echoed one after another. They would never retreat easily!

As expected.

Lu Yu also understood some of the Matai people’ temperament and guessed that they would say that, even Xia Cao, who had expressed concerns just now, now looked like an iron-blooded female warrior.

Lu Yu also didn’t want to leave, but…

“If they come again, they will be fully prepared,” Lu Yu frowned.

Shan Pu, “Even so—”

Before he could finish his words, Tai Lie reached out to stop him.

Tai Lie turned to look at Lu Yu, his expression serious, “What’s your idea?”

Lu Yu thought for a moment and said seriously, “Instead of passively being beaten, how about we take the initiative? These people aren’t actually united. As long as we take care of their leader, things will be easier.”

In addition to this, Lu Yu had some other ideas and plans, but he didn’t say them now. It depended on the specific situation of that tribe.

The Matai people were taken aback by this proposal at first, then suddenly realized that yes, they could also take the initiative.

Before the massacre, the Matai people were numerous and strong, and they had never been invaded by other tribes. They still believed in being kind to others and had never thought of invading others.

But now things were different. They had been subjected to such malicious robbery (even though nothing was killed or taken), of course, they could fight back!

The Matai people’ martial factor was instantly ignited.

Shan Pu jumped up, drew out his small dagger, and his blood boiled, “Attack, attack! Chief, let’s take the initiative!” The Matai people didn’t want to passively be beaten!

“Yes, yes.”

“We can beat them!”

“No need to worry all the time!”

Tai Lie scanned the excited crowd and thought for a moment, then solemnly said, “Then, choose a day and attack!”

The Matai people responded enthusiastically, “Attack!!!”

Jiao Feng led his men back to the Blackwater Tribe in a sorry state.

Ignoring the suspicious gazes of the tribe members, he walked into the chief’s wooden house with large strides.

Li Yue was resting on the wooden bed in the wooden house. When she heard the movement, she hurriedly got up to greet him.

“Chief, you’re back—”

Jiao Feng forcefully pushed her away and angrily said, “Get out of here!”

“Ah!” Li Yue was caught off guard and fell to the ground, her elbow hitting the ground hard.

The last time Jiao Feng was so angry with her was when Li Yue temporarily transferred people from the tribe to help the Yu Shui build his tribe, causing the Blackwater tribe to be short-handed on the way back from exchanging items and being robbed by a group of wandering barbarians.

Li Yue still remembered vividly how Jiao Feng relentlessly captured those barbarians who had eaten their food and tortured them with terrifying methods, while she was locked in the wooden house for three whole days without food or water…

Thinking of these, Li Yue’s body trembled, disregarding the bleeding elbow, she crawled over, knelt down, and reached out to his thigh to please him, “Chief, what’s wrong?”

Jiao Feng clamped her chin, the bloodshot eyes in his eyes were extremely frightening, “How dare you ask me what’s wrong? Your idea almost cost me my life!”

After saying that, he shook her off like trash, “Get out!”

Li Yue was shocked by his words, but didn’t dare to ask more. She got up tremblingly, retreated, and left.

After Li Yue left, Jiao Feng calmed down for a while and remembered an important matter. He called his confidant in.

Jiao Feng asked, “Has anyone returned?”

The confidant reported, “Some people have been returning intermittently.”

Jiao Feng indifferently hummed, “Count them later, but for now, there’s something that must be resolved.”

“Please speak, Chief.”

“That Witch.” Jiao Feng’s face darkened, “He must be captured.”

No matter how many warriors were lost, as long as they caught this Witch, they would have everything. They absolutely couldn’t let him go.

The confidant hesitated, “But, the fighting power of that small tribe is really… should we  seek outside help?”

Jiao Feng pondered for a moment, “Outside help can indeed be sought, but the news about the witch must be kept from them, and we must find some powerful people. Come here.”

The confidant stepped forward.

After discussing the matter of taking the initiative to attack, Lu Yu sat aside to check the new features of the panel—the Guidance System.

Perhaps because this function was still basic, the golden finger didn’t open it as much, but it was still quite powerful, and it was exactly what they needed.

Simply put, it could specify the threat level of the beasts and the types of dropped items. Then, it would give a general direction like a compass, and it could only be used once every five days.

At this stage, there were only three types of dropped items.

[Weapon]

[Armor]

[Others]

Seeing this, Lu Yu hesitated a bit. In fact, compared to directly dropped weapons and armor, he preferred to have blueprints made, after all, the drop rate of items was really poor. He wondered if these blueprints were in the “Others” category…

This system level is still too low, providing too little information.

Lu Yu clicked on the upgrade button to see the upgrade conditions. If it wasn’t too difficult, he would upgrade it and use it again. It couldn’t be wasted every five days.

As his gaze paused on the word “Upgrade,” the panel displayed new information.

[Upgrading the Guidance System requires increasing the favorability of the evolved species]

[Intimate behavior can increase favorability]

Lu Yu: …

What the heck?!
