章 30: Tricking the Tauren
編集者: EndlessFantasy Translation
Lin Tian did not care about this matter because there was no way he could sign a contract upon transmigration. Not to mention going to the company, he could not even mail his identity card.
Therefore, Lin Tian set this matter aside. His popularity and income were not bad now. The other party would not be able to stop his livestream. Moreover, the livestream was bound by the system, it would not be easy for an average person to make a move.
After withdrawing the cash, Lin Tian bought a large amount of red bricks, cement, and new weapons. He had a long discussion with the shop owner of the shop where he bought the bows and arrows last time, and finally spent a large sum of money to order 200 more powerful bows and more arrows. These were the bows and arrows he had prepared for the foxmen. He planned to set up a fox archery group.
Subsequently, he bought some more crossbows. In his Storage Space, there were already about 20 crossbows loaded with arrows. There was no battle now, so there was no need to occupy more space. He could create the continuous shooting effect by changing one crossbow after another. After all, crossbows required arm strength. The greater the power of the bow, the more arm strength was required.
Apart from these, Lin Tian also bought a large number of biscuits, chicken legs, vegetables, and so on. After buying these, he brought the two cat-eared girls to the construction site and began the livestream.
The livestream room was lively as soon as it started.
[Streamer, why are there so few people!]
[Streamer, are you struggling to pay their salaries?]
[Everyone, give the streamer a hand!]
The livestream room immediately burst into a frenzy of reward-giving.
Lin Tian explained, "There's going to be a locust plague soon, so everyone ran away."
[Locust plague? I've never seen it before!]
[The streamer is going to do something big again!]
[It's time for the foodies to show their power!]
[Fried locusts wrapped in breadcrumbs would make the kids next door cry from hunger!]
Lin Tian no longer paid attention to the livestream and walked toward Tauren John. At this time, John was carrying a huge rock toward the city wall.
[Brother John, 666!]
[Spirited little tauren!]
John placed the huge stone on the city wall and walked down the ladder.
"Hello, Master!" When John saw Lin Tian, he immediately greeted him respectfully.
Ever since he came to Lin Tian's tribe, he had been able to eat his fill every day and was very happy. Moreover, this little work on the construction site was very easy for him.
Lin Tian asked, "John, which tribe did you live in in the past?"
John smiled foolishly. "I used to live in the Barbarian Stone Tribe. The tribe is full of taurens, but everyone was always hungry. One day, I went out hunting and was set up by the goblins. They sold me to slave traders, and after that, master bought me."
"How many people are there in your tribe?"
"Master, there are more than 80 people in my tribe."
Lin Tian thought for a moment and asked, "Do you know that the plague of locusts is coming?"
"Yes, master. I don't know if the people in the tribe will be able to endure it."
Lin Tian said, "Yes, a lot of them might die."
The tauren's eyes immediately turned red.
[The streamer sure knows how to set a trap!]
[Brother Tauren, you have to endure it!]
Lin Tian said, "I want to help them, but they are too far away from me..."
Without waiting for Lin Tian to finish, Tauren John fell to his knees.
[Brother Tauren, you are too easy!]
[Streamer 666!]
John pleaded, "Master, if you are willing to take in the people from my tribe, I can go back and persuade them, have them come over to work and fight for you. As long as they are fed every day, it doesn't matter if you don't pay them!"
[How touching!]
[He's too miserable!]
[What a minimal request!]
Lin Tian thought for a moment and said, "I promise you, but you have to hurry up, or the locusts will come over soon."
John nodded and said, "Master, don't worry. I can bring them over in five days."
Lin Tian threw him a backpack. "Take it. There're food and water in it, enough for you to eat on the way. You should leave now."
[Hahaha, the backpack has already been prepared!]
[The streamer is tricking the tauren!]
John was so touched that his eyes were filled with tears. "Thank you, Master. I will definitely bring them back!"
He took the backpack and set off. The backpack contained at least two to three hundred kilograms of food and water. With his strength, he could carry the food with ease.
After the tauren left, Lin Tian ended the livestream for the day. After ending the livestream, he first went to inspect the progress of the city building and gave guidance to a few craftsmen and their disciples.
After more than half a month, these craftsmen had a well understanding of the characteristics of cement. Lin Tian bought them some small tools to help with the construction. For example, they could skillfully use the leveler, meter-long ink line, and the like.
When they first saw these small tools, they were all very surprised. It could even be said that after they moved to Lin Tian's tribe, other than the good treatment, they also had these novel tools.
The craftsmen were all very smart. Under Lin Tian's guidance, they improved rapidly. However, because of the sharp decrease in workers, the speed of the city construction became much slower.
In the following days, Lin Tian continued to patrol the territory every day to check on the progress of the construction. The number of people in the livestream also increased. Many viewers were attracted the moment they entered and hence would watch the livestream every day. Currently, the number of viewers in Lin Tian's livestream was maintained at around 700,000. The numbers easily reached 500,000 even ten minutes before the livestream. Such a popularity was very shocking.
Three days later, the weapons that Lin Tian bought finally arrived. Apart from the foxmen, he also bought weapons for the taurens. There were very few weapons suitable for the taurens on Moujing, and neither swords nor knives were suitable. Coincidentally, he saw a custom-made two-sided ax.
The two-sided ax was about 50 centimeters in length. It was not long, but it looked very domineering. One was about 5,000 yuan, which was relatively expensive, and it had not been sharpened yet. Lin Tian bought 50 in one go. He intended to wait for the taurens to arrive, and then customize some based on their size.
Apart from these, Lin Tian also bought some very thick and large shields that were very suitable for the taurens. When the time for a battle came, the taurens could hold a shield in one hand and an ax in the other. They had both strength and agility.
On the other side, John had already returned to the village where his tribe was located. The village was made of stone with some wood, and it looked especially tall.
When John returned to the tribe, he was surrounded by many taurens.
"John, you're finally back!"
"Where did you go?"
"Why did you disappear for a month?"
At this time, a female tauren ran over with tears in her eyes. "Oh, baby!"
John's tears fell. "Mom!"
When the taurens' emotions gradually calmed down, John stood up and said, "I have something to tell everyone."
He opened his backpack and took out a lot of chicken drumsticks and gave them to the taurens.
"One for each of you, help yourself!"
The taurens took the drumsticks and drooled at the aroma.
One of the taurens asked, "John, what kind of meat is this? Why does it smell so good?"
