Crossing To The Primitive With A Game Panel - Chapter 94

“Deputy Chief, you’re here!” San Qiu and the others saw Lu Yu and exclaimed as they greeted him.

After Lu Yu finished speaking, they returned here to work, thinking that Lu Yu had gone to see the fields, but they didn’t expect him to come here…

After exchanging greetings, several people stood there nervously, shrinking back and forth.

Lu Yu was a little puzzled, “What’s wrong? What happened?”

“We… um… it’s just that…” Several people hesitated, pushing each other and stuttering, but no one stepped forward to speak.

The old man beside Lu Yu became angry, glaring at them, “What are you doing? The deputy Chief asked you a question, so speak up!”

This old man was fair and knowledgeable, and he was the one who often communicated with Lu Yu in the Dream Training Ground, so he was highly respected in the valley. When he became angry, San Qiu and the others straightened up immediately, like cats whose tails had been stepped on, and San Qiu took the initiative to speak.

“Deputy Chief, actually, there’s a problem with this boat,” San Qiu said in frustration.

Lu Yu walked with them to the side of the boat.

The boat was placed on the shore and had not been launched yet. Lu Yu took a look but didn’t see any problem. However, he wasn’t an expert, couldn’t tell if it was normal, and couldn’t blame San Qiu and the others. They were complete novices.

They had only learned in the Dream Training Ground for a while and were able to build a boat, which was already impressive.

Encouragingly, Lu Yu looked at San Qiu, “It’s okay, the problem needs to be spoken out, so we can all find a solution together.”

San Qiu relaxed a little, but still dejectedly said, “This boat can’t be launched, it leaks.” They wanted to give the deputy Chief a surprise, but what they made couldn’t be used at all, and they wasted so much wood and animal skins.

The person beside him added, “We used hemp and mud to seal the gaps, but it didn’t work. They were washed away by the water.”

San Qiu grabbed his hair hard, “Not only that, but the hull is also not very sturdy. Although we chose the hardest animal bones and ground them into bone nails to connect the wood, if the river water hits hard, it may still break.”

Lu Yu grabbed his hand to prevent him from pulling his hair out, “When you entered the dream, did you learn to make a boat with these materials?”

“N-no.” San Qiu felt the hand touched by the deputy Chief burning hot and felt a little cramped, “But, that person said, we, we don’t know what it is, so we looked for other things to replace it.”

“What did he say? Do you remember?” Lu Yu asked.

“I remember!” Someone eagerly replied, “It’s iron plates, iron nails, and tung oil putty! We didn’t know what these three were, so we used bone tools and mud instead…”

“I see.” Lu Yu understood, “Then it’s not your fault, it’s because we lack the materials.”

San Qiu asked embarrassedly, “Deputy Chief, do you know where to get these things?”

Lu Yu pondered for a moment, “I can help you get tung oil putty. Among the supplies we brought back this time, there are many tung oil trees, but as for iron…”

On the large drifting market, he had also paid attention, but not to mention iron tools, there wasn’t even a piece of iron ore nearby, let alone seen any iron ore. It might be hidden deep in the mountains, but they didn’t have detection instruments, so there was simply no way to find it.

Lu Yu raised his head and saw pairs of expectant eyes, so he had to assure them, “I’ll find a solution for you, but we may not find iron in the near future. For now, you should make some smaller boats. Grass, mud, and tung oil putty should be enough.”

“Yes!”

San Qiu and the others blindly trusted Lu Yu. Hearing his promise to help, they instantly smiled with joy, not feeling disappointed that they couldn’t get it all at once.

After spending most of the day in the valley, Lu Yu returned to Matai village.

On the way, he was still thinking about the iron ore issue.

Iron was not only essential for boats, but also played a significant role in other aspects. If they wanted to continue developing, they had to evolve from the Stone Age to the Iron Age. Now that everyone was learning more and more techniques, finding iron ore was imperative.

There weren’t many Matai people, and they were easy to arrange. When Lu Yu returned, he saw that Xia Cao, Le Shui, and the others had already arranged all the tasks.

Lu Yu took the opportunity to describe the appearance of iron ore to the hunting team, hoping they would pay attention when they went out.

—

Nightfall.

Lu Yu and Tai Lie stayed in a small stone house behind the four-story building.

The building was temporarily designated as a meeting hall on the first floor, with the second, third, and fourth floors used as warehouses. Although the space in his ring was quite large and could hold a lot of things, it would be too troublesome for others to come here to retrieve materials. Originally, other stone houses were chosen as warehouses, but Tai Lie didn’t want to live in a tall building, so it was decided like this.

Lu Yu also preferred this cozy little house. It was very warm.

He took out fur and cool grass mats from the ring to make a soft and comfortable bed, and arranged the dishes he had designed, the wooden chairs made by the people in the valley, and the wild animal skulls made by Tai Lie one by one.

Their nest was set up.

Lu Yu brushed off the dust from his hands, looked around, and was very satisfied.

A warm chest leaned against him.

Lu Yu didn’t turn around, but raised his chin reservedly. “How about it, satisfied?”

A low, magnetic voice came from behind, “Satisfied.”

Of course! His aesthetic sense was definitely online!

The corners of Lu Yu’s mouth couldn’t help but curl up.

He was about to turn around and speak to the person behind him when a large hand suddenly rested on his waist, and a warm breath sprayed on his ear.

“More than satisfied,” the voice said ambiguously.

With that, the large hand moved down and backward with an indecent move.

“Wait a minute!” Lu Yu’s scalp tingled, and he quickly pressed down the hand that was about to do something inappropriate.

He turned slightly stiffly.

By now, it was dark outside, and only two oil lamps were lit in the room.

Under the flickering firelight, the intense desire in the man’s eyes couldn’t be hidden, almost burning people up.

“What’s wrong?” The man lowered his head and asked hoarsely, eagerly wanting to eat meat.

Lu Yu swallowed, straightened his body, and now he was like a rabbit caught by a tiger, with nowhere to hide and had to muster the courage to deal with it.

“There’s something we need to discuss.” Lu Yu tried to keep a straight face.

“What is it?” The big tiger who couldn’t wait to eat meat asked impatiently but tried to restrain himself.

Lu Yu reached out to push away the chest that was getting closer and closer, “It’s about what you’re thinking now. We need to plan carefully and not act recklessly…”

Mainly because he really couldn’t bear the demands of this person. Even if there was a red pill, his current state of that area still had no sensation. He really couldn’t just be a “tool” in this matter. Such things should bring happiness to both parties and be moderate to be sustainable.

Tai Lie’s expression was unclear, “Speak.”

Lu Yu cleared his throat, “We can do it once every ten days, and each time cannot exceed two hours—”

“Impossible.” Someone interrupted without hesitation.

Lu Yu also knew that this was probably impossible, but he left some room for bargaining for later.

Frowning, Lu Yu reluctantly took a step back, “Then once every five days, and each time cannot exceed three hours!”

“Impossible.” The rejection came without hesitation again.

Lu Yu took another step back, “Once every three days, and each time cannot exceed four hours. That’s final! Don’t forget we still have the dream training ground!”

This was almost Lu Yu’s bottom line, so he was very firm, thinking that Tai Lie should be able to accept it.

Both of them were already very busy every day, especially since Lu Yu had to let everyone enter the dream training ground to learn skills at night. There simply wasn’t enough time.

Lu Yu didn’t expect Tai Lie to still disagree.

Lu Yu was really angry this time, “Then what do you want?!”

Tai Lie said lightly, “Twice a day.”

He could really say that! Lu Yu couldn’t believe it and asked incredulously, “Then are we going to close the dream training ground? Are we going to stop working every day?”

“It can be during the day.” Tai Lie replied.

This is madness!

Lu Yu looked at Tai Lie with incomprehension. After a while, he shook his head firmly and slowly, “I can’t agree with you, Tai Lie. I don’t know what you’re thinking. The most important thing for us now is to make Matai stronger and stronger. You actually insist on such matters at this time.”

“You really disappoint me.”

After saying this, Lu Yu didn’t look at the person in front of him anymore. He turned around, walked to the edge of the bed, took off his shoes, lay down on the bed, turned sideways, facing the wall, leaving his back to the man.

Lu Yu pursed his lips tightly, hoping that Tai Lie could see his attitude clearly and understand how unreasonable his demands were. He hoped Tai Lie wouldn’t persist stubbornly.

The air stagnated for a moment.

Finally, Lu Yu heard Tai Lie speak.

“Is that so.”

Tai Lie said calmly and without waves, then turned and left the small room.

Hearing the not-so-loud closing of the door, Lu Yu stiffened.

The warm and affectionate little room just a few minutes ago had quickly become icy cold.

Even though it was the hottest weather, Lu Yu felt his hands and feet gradually becoming cold and stiff.

This was the first night they moved into the new house together, but they had a quarrel because of this matter.

Regret surged uncontrollably in Lu Yu’s heart.

Was he too stubborn? Was his tone too harsh? Couldn’t it be discussed? Why did he have to make a final decision and then return to bed, cutting off the possibility of negotiation between the two of them?

Lu Yu felt a bit wronged.

But even if he walked away, it wasn’t as if he had gone to the ends of the earth. It was just a few steps away. Couldn’t Tai Lie continue to say what he wanted to say?

Lu Yu’s fingers unconsciously gripped the cool grass mat beneath him.

And where was he wrong?

Why did he have to accommodate Tai Lie’s endless demands when the situation clearly didn’t allow it?

Did Tai Lie even consider his feelings?

He had turned into that state yesterday and last night. If it wasn’t for the red pill, he probably couldn’t even walk. Wasn’t Tai Lie worried about that at all? Why did he still insist on this?

The more he thought about it, the heavier Lu Yu’s heart became.

After experiencing so much, he didn’t doubt Tai Lie’s feelings for him, but could it be that s*x was equally important to him, or even more important…
