Chapter 9 Increasing Population
The next day, Yang Yi woke up on the wooden platform in the center of the murloc town. He found that the old blind eye and the other five murlocs had already started their busy day.
Seeing that the lord was still sleeping, the old blind eye did not dare to take the five murlocs far away, so he took them to the sea to fish nearby.
The old blind eye has the expertise of [Murloc Leader] and the ability of [Leadership (Prestige 32/40)]. He does not need Yang Yi, the lord, to tell him. He is more than capable of arranging a few murlocs to work.
Yang Yi walked to the place where the murlocs were fishing. Seeing Yang Yi coming, the old blind eye quickly took the five murlocs who were diving to fish ashore.
"Lord, we caught three fish."
The old blind eye presented the three fishes to Yang Yi, the murloc lord.
Two of the three fish were caught by the old blind eye with a pitchfork, and the other one was caught by the murloc hunter who was lucky enough to find a stranded sea fish. The other murlocs got nothing because they did not have the right fishing tools.
"Well, you did a good job."
Yang Yi was satisfied with the treatment of being a lord, but as a boss, he couldn't let his subordinates starve while he ate alone.
Yang Yi took a slippery mackerel from the old blind man, and left the other two in the old blind man's hands, "You didn't eat anything in the morning, so you can share these two fish."
"Thank you, lord." The old blind man and the other five fishmen were grateful, although they had caught all three fish.
After thanking Yang Yi, the old blind man handed a fish to the fish hunter, and then he took the lead in grabbing another fish.
The old blind man opened his black mouth, revealing a mouthful of sharp fangs.
With a roar, the fishman closed his mouth and bit the fish hard.
The fishman holding the fish's tail pulled hard with both hands, and a large piece of the living sea fish was torn off with skin and flesh.
Instantly, the beach, which was originally a refreshing morning by the sea, instantly became bloody and full of blood.
Yang Yi was speechless. He knew that fishmen rarely used fire, and he also liked to eat raw sea fish. However, that was eating sashimi, not the brutal way of eating like the old blind eye.
The old blind eye took two bites and handed the rest to another fishman. Then he licked the thick fish lips with his big tongue, looking very delicious.
"Now that I am also a fishman, should I try this way of eating?"
Yang Yi was influenced by the old blind eye, and this idea suddenly came up in his mind, but this idea was instantly extinguished by him. He could not accept such a big change in a short time.
Fishmen usually don't wear clothes, so Yang Yi didn't carry the [Fisherman's Knife] with him. He couldn't make sashimi for a while, so he grabbed the sea fish and watched his fishmen finish breakfast. He didn't start talking until the two sea fish turned into two fish bones.
"Old Blind Eye, take the four murlocs to the ruins of Ratchet City to find some wood to build a murloc hut, and search the ruins for anything useful, and the murloc hunter will stay to continue fishing."
"Yes." The murlocs answered without hesitation.
Yang Yi asked Old Blind Eye to leave the [Rusty Pitchfork] to the murloc hunter, and then he was responsible for fishing.
Yang Yi planned to go out again today to find some long beach murlocs who were stranded here, but before that, he had to prepare a day's worth of food for the murloc village before he could carry out other activities.
Yang Yi first went back to the town center to get the [Fisherman's Knife], and solved his breakfast first. Then he took the knife and jumped into the sea to start his first diving fishing in his murloc career.
Compared to being on land, the body structure of murlocs is more suitable for activities in water, and Yang Yi quickly adapted to the water.
Murlocs swim freely in the water, but the sea fish to be hunted are better swimmers in the water. It is not easy for Yang Yi to catch fish with the short knife in his hand.
An hour later, Yang Yi still had no catch, so after thinking about it, he simply returned to the shore to get his fishing rod and fish basket and started his old profession again - fishing.
After learning the fishing skill, Yang Yi's fishing speed was greatly improved, and soon a colorful fin fish was hooked.
Yang Yi made up his mind to continue fishing like this, maybe he could even upgrade his level 1 fishing skill to level 2.
Yang Yi was fishing quietly alone, and soon the old blind eye ran over.
"Lord, there is a foreign fishman in the ratchet village, and he is now staying near the town center." The old blind eye shouted from a distance.
"Is this true?" Yang Yi's mind lit up. Even if he did nothing, there were fishmen who came to him automatically. It seems that the system special effect of the town center "attracting foreign population" has played a role.
"Let's go and take a look." Yang Yi put away the fishing rod and took the fish basket and ran to the ratchet village.
When he arrived at the town center, there was indeed a yellow fishman standing not far away, watching.
[Name]: Murloc Peonies
[Qualification]: E
[Level]: Level 1 Herb Collector
[Race]: Long Beach Murloc
[Gender]: Female
[Abilities]: Lifestyle (Herb Collecting 2/10)
Yang Yi immediately used the Lord's Eye skill to check the Murloc's attribute information. Not bad, he was actually a Level 1 Herb Collector.
"This is the village chief of our Ratchet Village." The old blind man proudly introduced Yang Yi.
The yellow Murloc turned his eyes to Yang Yi, the village chief.
"Hello, are you willing to join our Ratchet Village?" Yang Yi asked.
"Here, there are no Murloc huts..." The yellow Murloc looked around. He was not satisfied with the current situation of Ratchet Village. If it weren't for the town center in the village, he would have left long ago.
"There is no fishman hut now, but it will be built soon. Look, it is being built over there." The old blind man came forward to persuade.
Although there is no construction drawing of the fishman hut, it is not difficult to build a fishman hut. A few long woods are used to build a row of wooden platforms, and then a roof is built with leaves and seaweed.
It's just that buildings built without drawings will not have special system effects.
After listening to the old blind man's persuasion, the yellow fishman nodded silently.
"As long as you are willing to join us in the ratchet village, you will have enough food." Yang Yi took out the colorful fin fish from the fish basket and used food to seduce the fishman.
"Okay, I'm willing."
A colorful fin fish completed the fatal blow to the hesitant yellow fishman, and the ratchet village had another fishman.
The herbal medicine picking specialty of this fishman is not useful for the time being, so Yang Yi handed him over to the old blind man and asked him to temporarily join the work of building the fishman hut.
"Old Blind Eye, now I officially appoint you as the deputy village chief of Ratchet Village. In the future, if there are any foreign fishmen coming, you will be responsible for accepting them into the village. If you really can't accept them, come to me again." Yang Yi said to Old Blind Eye.
It is unknown when new fishmen will come to the Fishman Village. If Old Blind Eye needs to go to find me every time to accept them, it will be a waste of time.
Yang Yi appointed Old Blind Eye as the deputy village chief. The first task of this deputy village chief is to be responsible for accepting people, so that Old Blind Eye's specialty [Negotiation] can also play a role.
After promoting Old Blind Eye to the deputy village chief of Ratchet City, Yang Yi came to the seaside for fishing again. While waiting for the fish to bite the hook, he thought about how to solve the food problem of the Fishman Village.
Another fishman came to the village, which means one more mouth to eat.
Yang Yi has learned about the food habits of fishmen from Old Blind Eye. When fishmen live in water, in addition to seafood such as fish, shrimp, crabs, and clams, they also eat certain types of seaweed. After living on land, the fishmen also like to eat grains, meat and other foods that land races often eat, and sometimes they even eat rotten food.
It is not easy to supply fish, meat and other foods in large quantities. In the future, the population of the fishman village will increase. Before the village develops, it is impossible to have fish as the staple food for every meal. Therefore, Yang Yi thought that the key to solving the food problem of the fishman village lies in the convenient large-scale cultivation of seaweed and grains. .
