Chapter Translation:
"Second update, sorry for being late. This afternoon, some unexpected guests came to my house, and I couldn't write. However, there will be at least two more updates today, even if I have to write until the middle of the night."
Niao is the chief of the Super Tribe. After becoming the king zun, the tribe has developed even further. Now, besides a portion in the Royal City, there is another group of tribe members living in their own hunting grounds.
The two groups combined have around twelve thousand warriors.
Such a super tribe is truly worlds apart from those small tribes.
But with greatness comes great troubles. The development of the super tribe is like rowing against the current; if you do not advance, you will retreat. Niao must constantly consider how to enhance their strength so that they do not fall behind other super tribes, ensuring that his tribe can secure more benefits in the king zun joint meetings.
Whether it is the external environment or internal governance, Niao has to worry about both.
He is a level seven warrior; his strength is relatively decent among the same level king zuns. However, compared to the other three level eight king zuns, Niao falls behind significantly. Apart from these three tribes, he ranks second among the remaining four super tribes mainly because of the large number of warriors and overall strength.
However, now the tribes behind him are closing in. Once his proud overall strength is matched, his ranking will inevitably decline, which would mean a loss of future benefits.
To stimulate the tribe's survival, rankings and benefits are linked, a rule left by the ancestors of the posthumous children.
Niao previously had no better methods; apart from urging his tribesmen to cultivate, he could offer little assistance.
In the recent thousand days of falling sand, his tribe has begun to face some problems. For example, the growth rate of new warriors has slowed, the harsh external environment has made hunting difficult, leading to an increase in deaths and injuries among warriors, and many people have hit a bottleneck in their secret method cultivation, with more and more stuck at the breakthrough point.
These issues have led to a slow development of the tribe, and Niao is quite anxious.
To address this problem, Niao has often sent people to various regions of the posthumous children in search of solutions, such as absorbing weaker tribes, helping the posthumous children resolve disputes, and distributing food and tents to those affected by disasters, hoping to increase the tribe's numbers and build a good reputation to gain more support from other tribes.
However, these efforts have been slow to yield results, which has been quite a headache for him.
Until a few days ago, one of his subordinates brought back a feathered arrow.
Niao, being a high-level seven warrior, knew the power of this arrow without needing to test it.
Of course, at his current strength, such a weapon would have limited benefits for him, but for the warriors under him, it would be significant.
Niao immediately realized this was an opportunity, a chance to quickly enhance the strength of his subordinates.
So he decided to find the creator of this weapon and have him stay in the tribe to serve him.
Of course, Niao valued his reputation greatly. Unless absolutely necessary, he did not want to resort to coercive measures. Therefore, he intended to negotiate and see how this Wanderer would react to his goals.
Ye Zhongming was not surprised by Niao's thoughts, and it was all within his expectations. He took out a piece of beast skin scroll from his pocket and handed it to the king zun.
"If you can help me find these items, I can provide two thousand gray-level weapons to the warriors in my tribe for free."
Niao opened it and frowned. The scroll depicted some very peculiar items, with dozens of patterns drawn on it, but he recognized less than one-tenth of them.
Moreover, the two thousand gray-level weapons mentioned by Ye Zhongming held no appeal for Niao.
