Pushing this frustrating symptom down once more, Lu G focused on the attributes panel of the tribal camp.

Name: Nun level small tribe population.

34.

Your tribe has a population shortage.

Habitability one from Mirror Lake.

Defensive structures.

None.

Your tribe is defenseless special effects fishing industry bonus 20 from mirror lake.

Civilization development speed increased by 20 from the talent ruler.

Looking at the attributes panel of the tribal camp, Lu G's first reaction was that he was glad he hadn't chosen to give up this settlement.

The two special effects aside from his own were thanks to this natural wonder.

Otherwise, in this icy weather, no matter where he moved, the habitability would probably drop to negative numbers.

LuG didn't think he was lucky enough to find another natural wonder.

Based on his experience and speculation, a habitability rating dropping to negative numbers was a dangerous signal.

It indicated that his people were dissatisfied with the place.

In other words, they were not comfortable living there.

This could very likely lead to a decrease in loyalty and even trigger rebellion.

It's decided.

With this thought, Lu Gi clapped his hands and decided to call it Mingjing.

Although Ming Jing tribe didn't sound very pleasant, after some development, it would be coming Jing city or Mingjing municipality, which sounded much better.

So, it was a pleasant decision.

Chapter 8.

Developing the tribe, he was really reluctant to get too entangled in choosing a name as strength was the most important thing.

He found a spot to sit down and made a few stone axes and stone spears from some suitably shaped stones, prioritizing distribution to the four strongest warriors in the tribe, with the rest going to other fighters.

As the first warrior, Lu Yong already had a stone axe, and being somewhat interested in the stone spear, he picked one up and gestured with it a couple of times, ultimately shaking his head.

It was too light.

The stone axe was heavier and had greater power, while the stone spear s advantages were in flexibility in attack range.

If he thought it was too light, he could just try wielding two stone axes.

In the meantime, Lu Gi handed over a freshly tied stone axe to Lu Yong.

Can I really handle two by myself? Lu Yongs face lit up as he received the second stone axe.

He had initially wanted to take two axes with a strength.

Wielding one in each hand was no problem.

However, with so many people in the tribe still without weapons, it felt a bit unreasonable for him to take two, and he didn't know how to bring it up.

It's fine.

Lu G waved his hand dismissively.

As long as we find suitable stones, we can make plenty more.

Just keep an eye out for good stones when you go hunting later.

It's easy to make these weapons, and having one for everyone is not too much.

Lu Yong readily agreed and excitedly waved his two stone axes, while the other warriors who received weapons were also thrilled.

After some time, the scouts that Lu G had sent out returned, looking exhausted, but they had successfully confirmed the location of the enemy tribe and left markers along the way.

This news undoubtedly invigorated the trib's warriors, as having this information meant they had the upper hand.

Lu G, who had been troubled by the trib's population issue, was now calculating when to lead a group to conquer that tribe.

He generously praised the scout and gave him a name, Lu Gene, making him the second person after Lu Yong to receive a name from Lu Gi, which drew envious glances from many tribe members.

As the sky gradually darkened, they needed to start a fire to cook.

Lu G couldn't help but think how fortunate it was that he didn't have to start a fire by drilling wood.

However, in the icy snowy weather with strong winds occasionally blowing in some snow, the difficulty of drilling wood for fire increased significantly.

Often, after much effort to create a spark, a gust of wind would extinguish it.

After a whole day of hunger, Lu G could no longer sit still.

He had a thought and took action himself.

Under the expectant gazes of his people, he moved some sizable stones to set up a very rudimentary stove.

System notification.

Congratulations to player Luo G for building rudimentary stone stove, gaining 20 civilization points, two culture points, and two industrial points.

Wow, this stone stove actually adds both culture and industrial points.

Lu G couldn't spare time to research this and simply noted it in his mind.

Since it'd already gone this far, he decided to tinker a bit more to create a stone pot in a few bowls.

The women in the tribe seemed to have experience making these items, as they needed vessels for water, too.

Working together, they quickly produced them, although their appearance was quite unsightly.

But in such extraordinary times, who cared about aesthetics? As long as they were usable, that was enough.

He asked the women to make a few more bowls while he called over two men from the tribe to lift the stone pot, planning to wash it in the lake and also calling back the two who were fishing by the icehole.

Luog estimated that they had been squatting there for almost 3 hours, but there had been no movement, indicating that there wouldn't be any catch today.

All right, let's wash this stone pot and prepare for dinner.

Just as Luog was saying this, the man holding the fishing net suddenly changed his expression.

After noticing the movement in the net, he quickly lifted it up before Lu G could see clearly.

The system notification in his mind informed him of what had happened.

System notification.

Congratulations to player Lu OG for the tribe's first discovery of Karp, gaining 30 civilization points, three production points, and fishing industry development progress one.

Haha.

Not having time to pay attention to the system notification in his head, Lu G couldn't help but laugh out loud at the carp struggling in the net.

Seeing the chief so happy, the surrounding tribe members also began to dance with joy.

Luog was not just happy about catching a carp, but because the appearance of this fish fully proved that his methods were correct.

From now on, as long as they made a few more fishing nets and punched more holes in the ice, developing the fishing industry and improving their catch efficiency, their tribe could essentially solve their food problem.

Not to mention, the natural wonder of Mirror Lake provided a 20 bonus to fishing industry development.

Chief, is this the fish you mentioned? An elder clearly remembered what Lu Gi had said during the day and immediately connected it to the live creature in the net.

Exactly this.

As he spoke, Lu Gi signaled for the fish to be thrown on the ground to avoid his people who had never seen fish before, causing some awkward situations.

The task of killing the fish fell squarely on him as the chief.

Fortunately, years of independent living had honed most of his survival skills, so killing a fish was no problem.

looking at the carp that was still struggling on the ground.

It was quite large, likely due to no one fishing in this era.

In modern times, he had never seen such a big carp, especially a wild one.

He guessed many wealthy people would pay a high price for it.

But in any case, Lu G had decided to make a pot of fish soup.

He picked up a suitable stone and smacked the struggling carp to stun it, then picked up another stone suitable for making a spear to use as a fish knife.

However, it was undoubtedly too dull.

It took a lot of effort to properly kill the fish, and while scaling it, he made quite a mess of it.

But there was no helping it.

If he had even a makeshift kitchen knife, it wouldn't be so difficult.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd and the tribe members gasps of astonishment, Lu G placed the prepared carp into the pot.

In an era with no seasonings, it was just water and a fish bubbling away.

While on another fire, they were roasting deer meat skewered on sticks.

After a whole day of hunger, everyone was ravenous.

As Lu G distributed the roasted deer meat, although the deer was quite large, it was impossible for everyone in the tribe to eat their fill.

However, at least each person could have a few bites.

In the past, having something to eat would have made them rejoice.

But today, everyone seemed somewhat distracted, chewing on the deer meat while their eyes kept glancing at Lu G's pot of fish soup.

Clearly filled with curiosity about this novel food.

Estimating the time, Lu G lifted the piece of wood that was serving as a lid.

And before he could take a closer look, a rich and savory aroma rushed towards him, making him swallow involuntarily.

He saw that the fish soup in the pot had turned an enticing milky white, and just looking at it made his fingers itch with desire.

At that moment, all 35 pairs of eyes, including Luogo G's, were almost entirely fixated on the pot of fish soup.
