In the following months, the Feitian spacecraft successfully established the most primitive business relationship with the Lanwei tribe where Zutai belonged.

Barter.

From the perspective of Zutai and other Lanwei people, at first, they found that those gods wanted almost everything.

A blade of grass.

A branch.

Some wild fruits.

A special stone.

The meat and bones left after the death of a prey animal.

They can all be replaced with something that surprises them.

Like a sharp alloy dagger, it cuts through iron like clay, and is countless times more effective than the bone knives and stone knives they use.

For example, the silver spear used by Zu Tai, the first warrior in the tribe, requires a lot of things to exchange for it, but in the tribe, in order to have such a silver spear, countless adult Lanwei people work day and night. Look for some potentially "useful" things in the forest, such as glowing poisonous mushrooms, brightly colored poisonous fruits, even go to the river to touch the aggressive and strange fish, or go to the edge of the cliff to collect plants that no one cares about before. Wait... The things you find should be as new as possible, and preferably living things.

Because the demands made by the gods are: things that have never been taken before, and generous rewards will be given.

Therefore, since almost all the "new things" that could be found within ten kilometers nearby, a brave Lanwei man actually ran into the territory of the four-winged bird and risked being chased by the four-winged bird. , stole five bird eggs.

After all five bird eggs were sold to the gods, at the trading point, the Lanwei man named "Barrow" got two silver guns at once - one was longer and could be held in his hand for fighting; A shorter one that can be used as a throwing weapon.

After Barrow got these two silver spears, there was a heavy breathing sound around him. Some of the clan members who did not have silver spears were envious and restless, and those who were more courageous learned to do it the next day. Barrow, go steal the eggs or cubs of the nearby poisonous wolf beasts.

After a while, in this Lanwei tribe, in addition to the helmet and armor worn by the first warrior Zutai, such as alloy daggers, throwing javelins, and long silver spears, each of the hundreds of hunters in the tribe had at least one of each. , even as many as two or three.

After the weapons were upgraded, the hunting efficiency of this tribe increased several times. As long as a small number of hunters were sent out to hunt, the food needs of the entire tribe could be met.

Some old and disabled hunters can even lie at home and enjoy their retirement life.

"The intelligence of this race is not weaker than that of our home planet Blue Star. Those primitive people millions of years ago. They united and loved each other, helped each other, and took care of the elderly, women and children. As long as they are given another million years, they will They can also evolve to the same level as us." Science Officer Lan Xiulong sighed.

"No, it won't be possible if we give them another ten million years."

Yun Xinghe on the side held his hands and said: "Our detector has discovered some ancient city ruins. Judging from these ruins, the Lanwei people of Pandora had a considerable degree of civilization 100 million years ago. Time scale It is a hundred times larger than our human evolutionary history, but these cities were all destroyed by unknown attacks. As for what kind of attacks, we should be able to see them soon."

Across the communication screen, he said to Du Xiaopang, the logistics officer who was working in the printing room: "Xiaopang, have the second batch of transaction goods been printed?"

"It'll be ready soon!"

Du Xiaopang, holding a dozen washbasins in his hand, said on the screen.

Yun Xinghe nodded, the arms trade was close to saturation, and now it was time to turn to trade in daily commodities, tools, etc.

…

Three days later.

On the grassland at the mouth of the canyon of the Lanwei tribe, God's "merchant ship" flew over again.

After the merchant ship landed, the tail cabin was opened, and several gods from the protoss moved the cargo out.

The two Lanwei people who were responsible for guarding the entrance of the canyon, their eyes lit up and they quickly came over.

This time a new shipment has arrived and it looks weird.

There is a round and square container, which God calls a "washbasin" and shows how to use it. It can hold many things inside.

There are also cups for drinking water, which are divided into flexible and hard cups. The flexible cup can be used when hunting outside, and the hard cup can be used in the tree house.

There is also a pot for stewing meat and making soup. After putting the cleaned meat into it, pour in water, and put it on the fire to cook. After a while, the aroma of the meat overflows, making your nose twitch and your mouth water.

The cooked broth is picked up with a spoon and served in a conical "bowl". Each person is given a pair of chopsticks or a spoon. When all the Lanwei people look at each other and don't know how to use it, there is a burst of banging. The voice came, but it was Zu Tai, the first warrior. With his mouth wide open, he poured the broth from the bowl into his mouth, and then used chopsticks to pick it up twice. After a while, he finished a large bowl of broth. .

"Hula~"

"Wow~"

"Baba~"

There was a lot of imitating sounds. After drinking the broth, the Lanwei people of this tribe looked at the pot on the ground and held the bowls in their hands. They all made the sound "Ula Ula", which means "Bang Bang Bang" .

Therefore, after weapons, washbasins, cups, pots, bowls, spoons... these daily items began to become popular among the Lanwei tribe and became essential items in life.

But the Lanwei people didn't have anything to exchange, so they basically exchanged everything they could. The gods didn't want the prey they hunted. With so many commodities placed at the mouth of the canyon, most of them Most of them can only look at it with greedy eyes, but find it difficult to own it.

It doesn't matter, they can work. The Gods first took out a thousand shining golden "coins" and purchased the thousand acres of land outside the canyon entrance from the chief. After that, they began to recruit a large number of workers, and the salary was ten "gold coins" per day. "And these gold coins can buy the goods they want.

For example, a washbasin only costs five gold coins.

As the contractor of the Protoss, Zutai only recruited 10 workers on the first day. Then he took these workers and cut down trees for a day outside the mouth of the canyon. In the evening, each of them took ten gold coins and exchanged them for washbasins and cups. , bowls and other products, he happily returned to the tree house, causing shock in the tribe.

The next day, the number of workers under Zutai increased to 50, accounting for about half of the young people in the clan.

In the following more than two years, the number of people working for the Gods in this Lanwei tribe has never been less than 50. At the most, two-thirds of the tribe's population was working for the Gods... Even the elderly Even the old chief could not stop it.

Because there are so many "goods" in the hands of the Protoss, including useful axes and saws, nets for fishing, bows and arrows for hunting, and later they started to buy armors, which is so addictive. , these Lanwei people found that the "gold coins" in their hands were never enough.

Not to mention those daily necessities, from the initial series of pots, pans and kitchen utensils; to the subsequent furniture series such as beds, cabinets, tables and chairs; to clothing series such as clothes, hats, shoes... The fashion trend of tribes has always been Change, a day that feels completely endless.

Some Lanwei people who were originally very satisfied with their lives began to feel tired of this exhausting life, but when faced with those exquisite and shiny products, they just couldn't stop shopping.

He always goes to the construction site involuntarily and works for the gods.

And looking at the giant building that except for the materials, everything else was built by them. It was continuously improved and completed. The spire-shaped structure was shockingly magnificent. All the Lanwei people in the tribe participated in this project. , my heart is filled with a special feeling.

From time to time, I still ask in my mind: Is this really something we created?

until one day.

The old chief called everyone in the tribe together. The old chief, who looked uneasy and frightened, used the nerve whiskers on his tail to convey an extremely shocking news in a telepathic way.

"The tree god is angry!"

"The tree god said that we attracted outsiders who shouldn't come and some demons that don't belong to this world."

"Our sins are great and punishment will soon be upon us!"

"Death, everyone will die, no one can save us!"

The old chief knelt on the ground, stretched out his hands, and his face was full of begging and wailing: "God of the Tree, please forgive us! We never dare to do it again!"

Immediately, the old chief hammered his cane, stood up tremblingly, pointed at Zutai who was covered with big gold chains, and said angrily: "It's all you, it's all you! If it weren't for you, how could the tribe have brought this attack?" This kind of disaster? The tribe was completely destroyed in your hands!"

The old chief said to the young men next to him: "Quick, catch this guy and kill him! Maybe we can get the forgiveness of the great tree god!"

"Don't touch me!"

Zu Tai shook off the pull of the two young men and shook the big gold chain around his neck. He widened his eyes, frowned and said, "What did I do wrong? Lord Tree God, why?" Want to punish our tribe? What sin do we have? Why do the tree gods say those gods from the sky are demons? I think these gods are much better than the tree gods. The tree gods can only give us a good dream, but those gods from the sky, Let us have sharp weapons, comfortable houses, and many useful tools!"

"Our lives are getting better day by day!"

"I like the gods in heaven very much. They are not demons."

"But what can the tree god give us? Compared with the gods in the sky, he seems to have nothing to give us."

"Now, the tree god suddenly said that he wants to punish us and kill us?"

"But I'm not afraid! Because the gods are much more powerful than the tree gods. They just told me that they will protect us and none of us will die!"

Zutai hugged the old chief's daughter and said to all the tribesmen: "Don't be afraid, everyone. As long as everyone believes in me and listens to my words, God will definitely save us. Let's take refuge in God together and continue to live a good life!"

"Woooooo~"

The cheers and cheers from below made the old chief change his face. "Don't listen to him, kill him quickly!" He shouted a few words, but no one paid attention. Even his daughter fell into his arms with a happy face. , if he doesn’t side with him, the old chief’s expression darkened, he knocked the wooden stick in his hand hard, shook his head and said: “Let’s make trouble, let’s make trouble, the tree god’s anger will destroy everything in the tribe, who is right and who is wrong, you guys You’ll figure it out soon!”

"Four-winged birds, dragon birds, poisonous wolf beasts, viper wolf beasts, there are so many monsters outside the valley!"

"It's over, we're really going to be over!"

Early the next morning.

The two young men who were guarding the mouth of the canyon rolled and climbed back to the tree house with frightened faces, bringing bad news to everyone in the tribe.

All the well-armed young men, old men, women, and children walked out of the tree house and stood on the grass with a wide view. When they looked up at the sky, they felt as if they had been struck by lightning, their limbs trembled, and their bodies were like chaff.

Even Zutai, who conquered the entire tribe with a brave declaration yesterday, was like this. His eyes were dull, his mouth was open, and the right hand holding the silver spear began to tremble slightly, and there was a tendency to drop it.

"Tree God, please forgive us!"

The old chief knelt on the ground with a bang and burst into tears.

This scene is indeed too scary!

There are giant birds as densely packed as stars in the sky, and various monsters on the ground that are ten meters, fifteen meters, and twenty meters long, numbering more than tens of thousands. It seems that all the land monsters within a hundred miles are concentrated here. .

Now these giant birds and monsters are just flapping their wings, or scratching the ground, sharpening their fangs and claws, and have not launched an attack immediately. However, this Lanwei tribe, which is only about 300 people, is felt by the whole tribe. To the wrath of the tree god.

"Ang~"

"Ouch~"

A high-pitched cry came from the sky and the ground.

As if it was the horn of an attack, the giant birds overhead, monsters on the ground, and more than 100,000 large creatures in total collectively shifted from a static state to a high-speed charge.

This scene, in the eyes of this Lanwei tribe, is like the end of the world.
