Staring at the words for a few seconds, Lu Yu then closed the panel indifferently.
It already took a lot of time to get a good impression from Tai Li, and this function actually wanted him to do it again to another person? Forget it, what other kind of bicycle did you want?* The primary was pretty good already. Why did you need to upgrade it? Just so be it.
*(The literal meaning is like I don't have anymore bicycle to lend, so the conotation is what else do you want, don't be greedy!)
After thinking about it, Lu Yu didn't give this continuously changing game panel another attention.
Rather than getting the favorability to upgrade the guidance function from Cha Zhe, why didn't he continue to get Tai Li's favorability and upgrading the panel first? Maybe it could get him better new features, moreover after this incident, Tai Li's attitude towards him was not so cold as before...
The Matai were suddenly called back when they were hunting, but after a fierce battle just now, they did not have any plan to continue their hunt today.
Fortunately, Lu Yu's ring still had some spare food.
Although the ring could store things, it couldn't maintain the quality. If you put meat in it for at least three days, it would be spoiled and couldn't be eaten anymore. So, in order to use it efficiently, Lu Yu just kept the meat in case of emergency, then used the panel to exchange for red medicines, if the meat's quality started to deteriorate.
He took out the remaining wild boar meat from it and made a rich boar feast to treat everyone.
After splitting the meat, Lu Yu picked a piece of evenly roasted golden, wild boar and went to find Tai Li.
He would like to think that since the progress of feeding medicine could be increased by 10% at a time, the favorability from food feeding might also increased. Taking this opportunity, it was better to earn more.
Lu Yu then happily ran to Tai Li, "Tai Li, let me feed you some meat."
After he said this, he quickly added, "Relax, I already washed my hands!"
Hearing this, Tai Li's eyes fell on the finger in front of him, his fingertips were round and clean, white and soft, when it touched his tongue yesterday, how did it bring up a strange burst of numbness, it was unbearable...
Tai Li's heart tightened. He forgot again that he should not be too close to this person.
Tai Li frowned and said coldly, "No, I'm full."
After talking, before Lu Yu could respond, he stood up and turned around to leave.
Lu Yu stared blankly at his indifference and alienated back, his brain froze for a moment, and he only reacted when the person was completely gone.
This man was really... Sick!
Although Lu Yu occasionally fried his hair (become exasperated). In fact, he was still calm at the heart, this time however made him really angry.
He had never seen such a capricious person. He (TL) used his body to block the spear for him (LY) last time. The two's exchanges were even quite pleasant. But then he (TL) turned his face without warning in the next second.
What the **** is going on? Did Tai Li really think that he has no temper?
In addition to these, Lu Yu was also reluctant to think, that perhaps this person only regarded him as a "tool person" rather than a member of the Matai tribe. If that really was the case, then Tai Li really was cold.
But he kept telling himself that Tai Li was not such a person, then he just...
Irritable!
Lu Yu picked up the meat and took a bite.
...
The matter of taking the initiative to attack should be prepared sooner rather than later, but because there were some people who escaped, while the rest were solved by the Matai people, without leaving a single living man, they still did not know the location of that tribe.
Fortunately, when those people fled, they were in a hurry and did not pay attention to cover up their traces. There was a sharp-eyed Matai who was good at following traces, and quickly found the village of the Blackwater Tribe.
On the second day, the Matai people sat together again and listened to the reports of their people who went to explore.
"...The tribe is very big, about ten times the size of our village, but it's not as good as ours, only three or four wooden houses are similar to what we have, the others are all cottages There are many people, but they look very thin, some even seem like slaves."
Almost every big tribe had slaves. A special and united tribe like the Matai could be regarded as rare. Other tribes, in addition to their own races, would accept some wandering savages or people who had been looted by the other tribes.
This people wouldn't get much food, but still needed to do the hardest job, and it was not that they didn't think about running away. If they didn't join any tribes, there was no way to survive in the jungle with the wild animals. Their wives and children were also guarded, so it was impossible to escape.
Lu Yu had already learned about this situation, so he was not that surprised.
The reporting Matai continued, "Their warriors, except for those who fled last time, there are still about two or three hundred men." After he finished, he was hesitant. "Maybe there are still more, but they went out to hunt, so they hasn't been counted. "
This was roughly the case.
Lu Yu's suggestion was to directly attack the Yellow Dragon (the root cause) by getting rid their tribe leader. If the remaining people still continued to resist, then they would take some actions depended on the situation.
Shan Pu excitedly said, "Is it like when we're killing the Wolf King last time?"
Lu Yu, "It is not necessarily the same. Judging from the size of the tribe, they can't provide so many warriors, and the remaining two or three hundred that were counted before should be all. We're going to form a group to go directly to their best cabin, then we can just grab the people who lived there."
They took the initiative to attack when the opponent was unprepared. The differences in their strength were greater, so, the simpler the fighting method, the better.
But before that, they still needed to prepare some armor for the attack group...
Thinking of this, Lu Yu thought again about the task of upgrading the guidance function.
There was no way to easily upgrade Tai Li's favorability, whose temper changed like the weather. It was better to upgrade the guide function first. Anyway, it was just about feeding a meal and Cha Zhe was still a child, so his appetite should be smaller than Tai Li. No problem!
Thinking of it this way, the cost-effectiveness to increase Cha Zhe's favorability should be higher than that of Tai Li...
Lu Yu planned it again in his heart, first let the Matai observed the movement of the Black Water tribe, and quickly detected whether the guide function was upgraded or not, so then he would upgrade, then upgrade it again to find the equipment.
Just do it.
After lunch, Lu Yu handed over the assigned work to Xia Cao. He took some barbecued meat and walked up to Cha Zhe. He was ready to ask, "Cha Zhe, did you go digging sand this morning?"
To upgrade the village, they still needed a lot of basic materials, so they were not idle.
A trace of uncertainess flashed in Cha Zhe's eyes. Yesterday, Lu Yu rushed back to the battlefield and taught him a lesson. Later, he never spoke to him again, so why did Lu Yu come to him right now?
Cha Zhe nodded, "Uh."
"Cough," Lu Yu cleared his throat. Although he was prepared, he was still a little bit embarrassed. "Well, is your arm tired? I can feed you something..."
Just after he finished speaking, the first person to react was not Cha Zhe, but the Matai people around him.
The Matai people turned their heads from the barbecue and looked at Luyu in unison. Their eyes were filled with shock.
Under what circumstances, the witch wanted to help others to eat?!
Wasn't this the King unique treatment?
How could a foreign kid also enjoy it?!
The Matai people turned their heads together and looked at their king.
Tai Li was sitting on a boulder while eating meat. Hearing Lu Yu's words, his hand paused, but then continued to eat as if he didn't care.
The Matai people were even more shocked, King, didn't you care? Your witch was going to feed others!
In dealing with the Witch, the Matai were very stingy.
Although they did not exclude the well-meaning outsiders, in their hearts, the Witch was still theirs. Now the Witch was close to their king, but was also close to outsiders, they couldn't stand this grievance!
The anxious Matai wished to stare out a hole in their king, hoping that the king would give them some order.
Tai Li lifted his eyelids, calm and without waves, "What are you looking at?"
The Matai shivered for no reason when looking at his expression, swallowed what they wanted to say, turned their head back, and looked at Lu Yu again. Their eyes were burning and pitiful.
They couldn't even eat their favorite barbecue
But they didn't dare to question the Witch, so they could only express their grievances with their eyes.
Witch, our arm hurts too, we also need to be fed...
Unfortunately, Lu Yu just turned his back on them and could not see them at all.
Lu Yu's ear moved, and heard that Tai Li seemingly didn't care about his action, but somehow, a small flame suddenly appeared in his heart.
Opening his lips, he asked Cha Zhe gently, "Can I, Cha Zhe?"
No matter how puzzled Cha Zhe was in his heart, he put it aside for now.
His eyes gradually darkened as he smiled, "Witch, you can feed me as you want."
Lu Yu: ?
Lu Yu sat across from Cha Zhe, tore off a piece of meat, and put it into his open mouth.
Cha Zhe chewed, swallowed, and praised, "The roasted meat is so delicious."
Lu Yu answered modestly, but he still took it for granted. Of course the meat he roasted was delicious! The kid was really insincere in his boasting.
Thinking of the compliment, Lu Yu's hand that tossing the meat for Cha Ze suddenly stopped. When he fed Tai Li for the first time, he clearly praised him, but now why did he...
"What's wrong?" Cha Zhe asked Lu Yu who was in a daze.
Lu Yu recovered, "No, nothing."
Cha Zhe stared at his expression and smiled like he suddenly realized, "Did I rub the gravy to my mouth?"
Lu Yu glanced at it, "It seems to be..."
Cha Zhe, "Can the Witch wipe it for me?"
Lu Yu, "Ah?"
The Matai people who had secretly paid attention to them heard this, anger rose from their hearts. This kid was absolutely intentional! Couldn't you wipe it yourself, why bother the Witch?! If your hand couldn't be used, they could help to rip it off!
Cha Zhe didn't care what these Matai people thought. With a touch of coquettishness in his tone, Cha Ze said, "I don't have any leaf to wipe it, you should be able to help me."
Lu Yu took out a clean and soft leaf he usually used to wipe his face from the ring. When he was about to hand it to him, he saw that the kid had put his face closer.
Three black lines fell from Lu Yu's head.
Did this naughty kid treat him as a nanny?
Forget it, all for goodwill.
Lu Yu compromised and picked up the leaf, ready to clean the child's face.
The hand just stretched out, when suddenly a large hand with blue veins traversed over it, grabbed his wrist.
"Enough."
A low and depressed voice rang in Lu Yu's ear.
