A New Day at Black Moon Camp

After dinner, Zhou Xu was undoubtedly exhausted from the day's battles and multiple uses of the 'Eye of Insight'.

He had just finished arranging for Zhou Chongshan and the others to take turns on guard duty and was about to go to sleep when a system notification sounded in his mind...

System Notification: Congratulations to 'Zhou Xu' for Command reaching two stars!

Hearing the reminder, Zhou Xu's face immediately lit up with joy.

After all, he had been directing his tribe members to do various tasks during this time, and today they had even occupied a new camp. His Command reaching two stars was only normal; his previous one-star Command had been too low.

Of course, even with psychological preparation, it was still a happy occasion.

However, while going from one to two stars was easy, going from two to three would be difficult.

After all, according to his thinking, two stars were within the scope of ordinary people. Once one reached three stars, it meant that this particular ability was enough to make you stand out from countless ordinary people!

Even Zhou Chongshan, who had shown such combat prowess before, only had two-star Bravery at the moment; he had just confirmed it.

Without dwelling on his five-dimensional panel for too long, Zhou Xu's gaze swept downwards.

The number of his subordinates had more than doubled, from the original thirty-one to sixty-eight.

In the battles of this era, due to the relative lack of lethality in weapons, it wasn't that easy to kill someone in combat.

The vast majority died from injuries that couldn't be properly treated after battles, eventually worsening and leading to death.

Regarding this point, he had already instructed Fei Que before setting out. He told them to use the fresh water accumulated in the clay pots to clean wounds. Given Fei Que's execution ability, he didn't need to worry at all.

Under these circumstances, his territory had changed from the original 'Salt Lake Tribe' to 'Salt Lake Camp' and 'Black Moon Camp'. This was likely due to the increase in the number of camps under his command.

The discovery of the Black Moon Camp gave Zhou Xu a clearer plan for his next steps.

First, they would definitely transfer the vast majority of people to the Black Moon Camp for development.

The reason was self-evident: the food resources here were richer, providing relatively stable food for more people.

At the same time, the soil quality around the area was more conducive to the agricultural plans that would need to be implemented later.

Of course, as an important resource point for producing coal ore and salt, he would certainly not abandon the Salt Lake Camp. It would be developed as a resource point later.

Simply put, the main population would be transferred to the Black Moon Camp, while the Salt Lake Camp would only have staff and basic defense personnel left.

Mulling over these matters in his mind, Zhou Xu soon fell asleep without realizing it.

Even though he was in a newly occupied camp, he slept very soundly.

Waking up, Zhou Xu's head was still a little groggy. It was probably because he had used too much True Word yesterday and hadn't fully recovered yet.

He had originally planned to test the 'Skeleton Control' True Word today, but it seemed he would have to wait a few days.

Stepping out of the tent, the recently surrendered tribe members were waiting for his orders.

Facing this situation, Zhou Xu first asked...

"What were you all responsible for before? You first."

"I was responsible for fishing."

"I was also fishing."

"I was responsible for gathering supplies."

"..."

Listening to the answers of the tribe members, Zhou Xu nodded slightly.

"Alright, I understand. You and you, from today onwards, you will be responsible for fishing, and you will be responsible for gathering supplies..."

Yesterday, with the power of the 'Eye of Insight', although he had only scanned their five-dimensional panels roughly, he had a general idea of the talents of these tribe members.

Even though these ordinary people didn't have any outstanding talents, they still had things they were good at and things they weren't.

Placing them in positions they were relatively good at would undoubtedly allow them to demonstrate higher value.

Of course, the tribe members themselves were unaware of these matters.

They didn't know why Zhou Xu was making these adjustments, but since the new chief had given the order, they would follow it.

It only took a few minutes. After making simple adjustments, Zhou Xu's gaze fell on the remaining three people.

These should be the handicraft team from the Black Moon Camp, responsible for tasks like weaving fishing nets and polishing weapons.

The previous chief must have selected them; they were considered nimble-handed in their tribe.

"Alright, next I will teach you how to weave fishing nets."

Zhou Xu's words caused a bit of confusion in the hearts of the three tribe members.

In their opinion, they knew how to weave fishing nets, and they had already woven three of them.

They couldn't understand why the new chief still wanted to teach them this.

However, considering the new chief's status, they chose to obey obediently.

Zhou Xu had never actually made a fishing net before, but looking at their fishing nets, they were just tied with knots, and they were tied very loosely.

After being soaked in water, they became even looser.

Any fish caught by these nets, if they struggled a bit, could easily wriggle out.

Under these circumstances, setting aside everything else, at least when it came to tying knots, he was very professional.

He had also pondered it a bit before sleeping last night, and his thoughts were still quite clear.

"Watch closely, everyone."

As Zhou Xu spoke, he slowed down his movements, tying a knot step by step, methodically.

Maintaining this pace, he quickly tied two net sections and then tossed them to the three members of the handicraft team for them to examine.

In fact, they didn't even need to touch them; they could see with their own eyes that the knots tied by their new chief were much more secure than before.

The 'miracle' displayed by their former chief was easily surpassed.

"Alright, now follow me step by step."

Tying a knot, no matter how complex, wasn't that difficult.

Moreover, these three were already skilled members of the tribe. After Zhou Xu patiently taught them hand-in-hand, step by step, a few times, they basically learned it.

From here on, it was essentially a process of continuous knot tying.

In this era, weaving a fishing net was not only tedious and boring but also very time-consuming.

Of course, Zhou Xu couldn't stay there all day weaving fishing nets; he had other things to do today.

"Da Shi, take us to see the nearby daily activity areas."

Since he had decided to focus on developing Black Moon Camp, Zhou Xu naturally needed to thoroughly understand the surrounding environment first.

At the same time, he would look for anything else he could discover.

There was no need to elaborate on the interim arrangements; the five Guards, led by Zhou Chongshan, were all in position.

Just like when they went to the grasslands yesterday, five people would remain at Black Moon Camp while five others accompanied Zhou Xu to ensure his safety.

Without any delay, the group soon set off, beginning their work for the new day!
