Chapter 330: Chapter 330
"Do you have any solutions?" the chief asked, his eyes lighting up.
"Our greatest weakness compared to the black tribe is their proficiency in swimming. Therefore, if we can restrain them in the sea, we can gain the upper hand. I plan to build some ships. With these ships, we can easily cross over to them and even potentially wipe out the black tribe, thus unifying Gourd Island entirely."
"Can we really eradicate the black tribe? Excellent. If you can achieve this, you will be my chief general." Newest update provıded by 𝖓𝖔𝖛𝖊𝖑~𝖋𝖎𝖗𝖾~𝖓𝖊𝖙
Zhang Yu sneered, who would want to be a chief general in such a backwater? When the world cycles, you’ll be reverted to your original states, repeating these disputes day by day.
Of course, Zhang Yu didn’t express these thoughts, but remained respectful instead.
"What is a ship? Could you describe it?" An elder asked.
Zhang Yu opened his mouth, forgetting that these people had no concept of what a ship was. "A ship is something that allows us to traverse the sea. Chief, if you can provide me with some manpower, I can make them."
After so many years of struggling without a solution, the Chief was eager to try a new method.
"Alright, I’ll give you a thousand people. If that is not enough, I can add more."
Although the inhabitants of Gourd Island appeared primitive, they possessed powerful forces. Furthermore, their population was not insignificant. Even though Du You didn’t know the exact number, it definitely exceeded a million.
So for this battle, it wouldn’t be easy for their own mere twenty people to have an impact. To unify the area in a month was impossible without special methods.
After discussing for a while, the chief let them leave. Without seeing the physical results, they wouldn’t completely trust the plan.
"Zhang Yu, are you skilled at building ships?" Baobao curiously asked.
Zhang Yu smiled faintly: "Not particularly skilled, but I once wanted to pursue the career of a Maker and conducted some research. Unfortunately, I failed in that career path, but I gained some insights on shipbuilding."
Zhang Yu pointed at the white tribe: "The people here are not ordinary. I have observed that the sea here is very calm without powerful creatures and doesn’t have frequent storms affecting the weather. Therefore, our ships can be constructed more broadly which will allow us to build faster. Once they learn how, we will soon have a large number of ships."
Xi Qianxue’s eyes lit up: "If we have ships, we can easily wage war on the northern islands of Gourd Island. If we let loose, we might even be able to wipe out the black tribe in a short period of time."
"It’s still not enough. As individuals, the white tribe is generally weaker than the black tribe." Zhang Yu said, furrowing his brows.
At this moment, a frail-looking boy spoke up: "Well, I’m a Maker. I can make simple crossbows that should be useful." Everyone turned to look at him.
Makers were a support profession and were extremely rare. Furthermore, being able to get into the top class of the new Capital University semester indicated that this seemingly unremarkable guy might be something special.
"That’s great, Zhao Han. I didn’t expect you to be a support class, let’s work together to complete this task within a month." Zhang Yu suddenly felt more confident.
Then, Zhang Yu turned to the others: "But we’re not going to have much spare time to do other things whilst we’re building these ships."
Baobao nonchalantly replied: "It’s okay, all we need to do when the time comes is submit the records of the battle. Our wristwatches have already started recording. The university will award enough credits based on individual contributions."
With that, everyone was in agreement. "The rest of us can’t be idle. We need to do other things."
Following BaoBao’s words, everyone started to discuss division of labor. Everyone had different strengths, and they all need to get busy. They had only one month, the time was very tight.
In the end, a group decided to assist Zhang Yu in building ships with their respective abilities.
Nine of them chose to stealthily infiltrate the black tribe to carry out assassinations or mass killings to continuously weaken the strength of the black tribe and disturb the internal order. This needed to be communicated with the chief as well.
An enhancer stayed behind to help the white tribe enhance their weapons.
The most extraordinary was an earth attribute mage who had the ability to create tunnels. He planned to create a tunnel in the center of Gourd Island, allowing them to pass from one side to the other underground.
For the well-acquainted whites, the tunnels were like a paradise. "If there is enough time, I will turn the tunnels into a maze. If the blacks dare to enter, let them never come out."
In conclusion, BaoBao said: "Alright, everyone has decided what they need to do. Let’s split up and work hard."
Afterwards, they went to the chief and the elders to explain their plans. After some thought, the chief agreed. The procedures for doing things in these primitive-like societies were quite simplified.
Following this, BaoBao and the nine others from the fighting system moved to a location close to the connection point. This location was also one of the areas that the black tribe typically swam through.
"The next step depends on you." Baobao said to Xi Qianxue.
Xi Qianxue took a deep breath as a freezing aura emanated from her. "Ice Beam."
With a point of the magic staff towards the sea, a blue beam entered the sea and in an instant, a large area of the sea was frozen. "Follow me." Xi Qianxue was the first to jump onto the ice.
"Indeed, there are no useless abilities, only people who can’t use them." Du You remarked, shaking his head.
This ability was a control type, using it to freeze the sea had an impressive effect. As such, Xi Qianxue moved forward, freezing the sea as she went.
The others quickly followed on the ice, heading towards the northern part of Gourd Island. They had to create enough conditions for their rear forces.
Teacher Liu, hidden in the darkness, watched their actions impassively, making notes in a book. As the best observer in this initial task, he can’t fully trust the submitted records alone.
As they were moving, they saw several figures emerging from the water. Turns out, these were blacks from the north. The black tribe, looking shocked and angry, were pointing and yelling at them, as it was their first time seeing someone use ice magic to walk on the sea.
