Chapter 128 Primitive Man's Accelerated Literacy Version

Soon, Lu Xian saw the priest take a smoking piece of wood from the depths of the cave, wrapped in wet leaves.

"I didn't expect them to have learned how to store and retrieve fire," Lu Xian said, his expression surprised.

The audience in the livestream room exclaimed that they had struck gold.

Some people even came back from the livestream rooms of the other nine contemporary Survival Challengers with intel:

[Brother Lu's livestream room is still the luckiest; the primitive people of the other challengers don't seem this smart.]

[Streamer, did your totem pole add intelligence?]

[The Barbarian King Tribe doesn't sound like the intelligent type at all.]

[Hilarious, some primitive people even tried to eat the challenger, but they were beaten into submission.]

Watching the priest reverently and skillfully start a flame, Lu Xian felt some gratification: "Fire is the origin of civilization."

"Ulla!" Then he saw the priest take out a relatively intact, blackened piece of animal leg meat, signaling for the divine patriarch to eat!

"Sensible!" the livestream room praised one after another.

"This is fire, this is meat. You cannot eat fire, but you can eat meat," Lu Xian instructed.

"Fire no eat, meat eat?" the priest mimicked.

"Yes!" Lu Xian nodded with a smile again.

The livestream room praised him:

[Too smart, they learn as soon as they're taught!]

[Open up donations, I want to send this priest a million, give him a chicken leg!]

[Brother Lu, you should use a reading machine for him, haha.]

"Wait a moment, let's learn more about their civilization first," Lu Xian said.

They could start fires to smoke meat, make coarse clay pots, and use bone knives. Hunting was generally done with vine slings and bone-tipped wooden spears. They didn't have bows and arrows, bronze, or iron tools, and couldn't build houses yet. Plus the bonus effects from the totem pole, the strength of all the Tribal Clan Members had improved. Some had even awakened skills.

Lu Xian finally discovered that they had planted some small 'fruit' crops in an open space not far from the cave. At first, he thought they were wild, given the many weeds. It looked like they had just thrown fruit pits there and they grew directly. The whole Tribe focused on hunting, but they also had a preliminary sense of planting. However, they had not yet developed the wisdom for agricultural cultivation.

"This Tribe is actually quite easy to support," Lu Xian said.

The only current drawback was the lack of usable tools; he needed to find a way to make some. One Sword to Slay Demons couldn't be used, otherwise, he wouldn't need to worry about this. For cutting tools, he could only choose stone axes or bone awls for now. The sharpness of these items was limited.

"I haven't triggered any other survival tasks this time," Lu Xian said.

Having gained a deep understanding of his Tribe's situation, Lu Xian asked the priest to gather everyone and bring over that 'Baby Audio Reading Machine'.

"This will teach you knowledge; words are power," Lu Xian said.

The priest didn't understand yet, but after listening a few times, he grasped it. Chen Ren pointed at the pattern on it and pressed it. It made a sound: 'Daddy.'

"This means daddy, he is daddy," Lu Xian said, pointing to one of the strong-looking primitive men, beside whom a woman was holding a son.

"Daddy?" the priest asked, half-understanding.

The livestream room barrage was a group of dads responding: [Hey, good boy.]

Reading machine: 'Mommy.'

"This means mommy, she is mommy," Lu Xian taught, pointing to that female primitive person.

"Mommy?"

A group of mommies in the livestream room showed auntie smiles.

An hour later. Daddy, mommy, gold, wood, water, fire, earth, eat, drink, dog, cat... Various babbling pronunciations rang out one after another.

{Congratulations to the Survival Challenger for successfully teaching the Tribal Clan Members to learn words.}

{Obtained Achievement: Civilization Guide, Teacher of Men, achievement points + 20.}

{Reward: Tribal Clan Members learning progress + 20%.}

Lu Xian received a reminder from the Survival World.

Not a bad reward, right? He was referring to the latter one.

When the reward landed, he felt as if he saw the Tribal Clan Members of the Barbarian King Tribe with glowing upgrade special effects rising from their bodies. He could clearly feel that they had begun to learn and recognize the pronunciations and content on the audio reader. They were all starting to produce Mandarin at a kindergarten senior class level. It was just that their vocabulary wasn't large.

For these primitive people, it was practically a leap into a new era. A human civilization that possesses language! No longer just 'Ulla Ulla.'

Lu Xian continued to teach the priest, letting him learn more basic words. And the priest was like an AI program; after being fed a large amount of knowledge, his learning speed was very fast. After understanding, he even began to know how to think and ask questions: What does bow and arrow mean? How to make a bow and arrow? And so on. Lu Xian patiently taught them all.

No choice, if he wanted to develop the Tribe, he had to learn to communicate first. And teaching the priest was equivalent to teaching the entire Tribe.

Until evening fell. Inside Lu Xian's new residence, brand-new, thick, and dry grass leaves had been laid out. The comfort level certainly wasn't as comfortable as lying at home. But compared to sleeping on wooden beds, vine hammocks, and the ground, it was definitely much more comfortable.

The priest even knew how to burn a pile of wood at the entrance of his residence that seemed to have mosquito and insect-repelling effects. In this island's primeval forest, inside the cave, there were no mosquitoes or insects felt, and there was a faint woody fragrance.

[Your priest is so sensible, the challengers next door are crying with envy, boo hoo.]

[Together, together!]

[Two men, two men!]

[No, Brother Lu is mine~]

[Streamer, do you have any plans for tomorrow?]

At night, in the outside world and inside the cave, only the residence outside had a pile of embers burning. But Lu Xian's livestream room remained lively.

"Today's language teaching went quite smoothly, thanks to the delivery from [Two Water Knives I'm the Flashiest]."

"Tomorrow, I'll take them to make weapons and cutting tools, and then teach them how to plant."

"After all, our survival challenge this time is to lead the Tribe to become strong, and this will definitely involve fighting other Tribes."

"So, we must prepare in advance."

Lu Xian paused and continued: "They aren't as savage as imagined; at least they know how to make fire and eat cooked food."

The audience in the livestream room found it hard not to agree. After all, everyone had seen today's situation with their own eyes.

"If we are lacking anything now, it's people," Lu Xian said. Including him, the whole Tribe had only 19 people, including 4 children.

[Encourage reproduction, let the Tribesmen start breeding now!]

[Hehe, if it could be livestreamed, (* ^ ▽ ^ *) >>]

[What's so interesting about primitive people? Come to my homepage, I'll livestream for you...]

[Room Moderator: livestream room has been banned.]

[Wake up, there are no room moderators in the Survival World.]

"Reproduction definitely won't be fast enough; let's take it slow."

"I don't know how long we will stay here."

This survival challenge had no time limit. Developing here for seven or eight years was possible. Lu Xian certainly didn't want to stay that long. But he wouldn't be able to clear the level immediately either; this was a primitive man cultivation survival series.

Lu Xian smiled and chatted: "Let's see if the deliveries from the audience friends tomorrow can bring about a civilization-leaping turning point."

The audience in the livestream room expressed: [Next time for sure.]

The Myriad Heavens Express talent was truly heaven-defying. It could bring different surprises every time.
