The immediate priority was to increase strength.
He took the blood coagulation grass to Sophie and the others. Several girls who were helping to take care of them crushed the herbs and applied them to the wounds.
The wounds glowed faintly as the juice of the blood coagulation grass merged into them.
The wounds of Sophie and the others visibly recovered, and once the medicinal effect faded, only faint traces of injury remained.
Olivia, Hannah, and Sophie, the injured trio, were weeping uncontrollably.
"It’s all our fault for getting injured. All the wood material everyone worked hard to chop down was used to trade for herbs..."
"I said, I will not abandon anyone who contributes to Heaven," Ethan said. "Whether D-rank or A-rank, you are all members of Heaven."
After making out with Grace he even started believing that this tribe was him.
Since the Chief’s husband had spoken like this, the classmates who had grievances about the large amount of wood material spent fell silent.
Instead, everyone was somewhat moved. If they thought about it from another perspective, if they were injured, the Clan Leader wouldn’t abandon them either.
"Everyone remember, the Demonfall Tribe is our enemy! No one can stand above us and defecate on us! When the opportunity arises, we will wipe them out as a group!" Ethan shouted. "Has the cleanup of the remaining materials been completed now?"
A girl ran over, and said to Grace, "Esteemed Clan Leader, the cleanup is finished."
"Recite it."
"We still have 221 wood material, 350 stone material, 76 red tree fruit..."
Ding dong, the silver storage box from the forging table was finally forged!
[Silver Storage Box: 8 slots, 300 stack per slot.]
Ethan looked at the Silver Storage Box and finally showed a slight smile.
Basic materials like wood material, stone material, red tree fruit, compressed biscuits, and all food supplies were stored in the Silver Treasure Chest.
"Elena, perform divination before today’s action." Grace looked at the Elena and told.
Elena nodded gently.
She was already very happy just being able to stand alongside Ethan and lead everyone.
She closed her eyes, and a purple divination light appeared above her forehead.
Immediately, two cards appeared.
[1-Star Event (Great Luck): To the west in the jungle not far away, there seems to be honey to eat.]
Elena felt a little disappointed seeing that she had divined another 1-Star Event.
"It’s fine, I love honey," Ethan comforted her. "Look at the second card."
Elena nodded and looked at it, [2-Star Event (Great Luck): Two kilometers north, two Black Iron Bears are fighting, seemingly over some plant.]
Once both divination cards were read, they vanished.
"That’s great! Both are Great Luck!"
"Does Great Luck mean we can complete the mission smoothly?"
"..."
Everyone was looking forward to what kind of different mission they would have today.
It wasn’t until Ethan took out all the axes in the Tribe, six in total, and handed them to the lumbering team.
"You all still have the task of cutting trees today. Since we ate meat yesterday, I hope you can cut faster and produce more today."
"Ah~" As soon as the task was announced, there was a wave of wails. "Chief husband, we want to undertake missions too."
Ethan: "Cutting trees is your mission. wood material ensures everyone’s survival. If you want everyone to die together from darkness and cold, feel free to slack off. Today we have more time than yesterday, and we have wheelbarrows for transport. I want to see double the amount of wood material from yesterday."
The girls in the lumbering team stopped talking and silently took the axes to go cut trees.
"Sophie, the three of you who are injured will stay at the Tribe to guard the supplies. Teacher Jessica and Emma, take a few more classmates and head west to search for honey. Elena and I will take a few classmates and head north."
After Ethan assigned the tasks, under Jessica’s arrangement, the teams were divided. Jessica’s team had 5 people, and Ethan’s team also had 5 people.
Christy happened to be in Ethan’s team. Ethan thought of her S-Rank Talent, S Tailor.
He took out last night’s spoils: [ox hide armor: Leather armor made from ox hide, extremely tough and comfortable].
After the resources doubled, they now had 37 pieces.
The only problem was that Goblins were small, so their armor was also relatively small.
Most of them couldn’t wear it.
Only the armor from large Goblins could be worn by the slender girls.
Elena couldn’t wear it because of her ample bust. "Christy, your Talent is Tailor. Can you re-cut this armor according to our body shapes?"
Christy took two pieces of armor, activated her Talent, and the two pieces of armor were slowly merging into one.
The entire process took 10 minutes, and the two pieces of armor transformed into one piece with a more modern cut and better texture.
"Done. Currently, I can synthesize one large piece of armor in about 10 minutes."
"10 minutes? That’s a bit long, but it is an S-Rank Talent, so we can’t expect too much," Grace said, stroking her chin. "Alright, you start cutting first. Everyone else, go scavenge the surroundings first. Ethan set off after the armor is ready."
Everyone went to their respective jobs. Just as Grace was about to leave, Ethan called her into the hut.
"Is something wrong?"
"Teacher Grace, I am missing you again." Ethan smiled shamelessly.
When Grace heard this, a look of shock crossed her face. How can he be so hungry?
"You!" She asked in an aggrieved tone, but then after some thinking, she lay down on the bed and said.
"Just do whatever you want."
Seeing that Ethan smiled, and soon Grace again started moaning his name.
She didn’t thought while on the Earth, she didn’t even have a boyfriend; and now, she does this with a student...
If this were the modern era, her teaching certificate would have dissolved into water long ago.
Grace looked at Ethan with eyes that could kill. "I didn’t expect you to be such a bad student."
"Hehe."
After half an hour, Ethan came out of the Tribe Leader’s wooden house.
He wiped the corner of his mouth, while thinking of Grace, again smiled.
Not long after, he went to Sophie.
"Chief Husband, why did you call me?"
"Ah, is this about yesterday again?" Sophie turned her head with a flushed face. "Hmph, you’re mean, I’m injured and you still want..."
Ethan sighed, worried that Sophie misunderstood.
What kind of person did she think he, Ethan, was?
Sophie was slender and reasonably good-looking, but she couldn’t compare to Elena, Emily Grace, or Emma.
"Don’t overthink it. I’ll tell you the truth: I am a proper person."
Sophie:?????
"I’m doing this all for the Tribe. I’m actually not interested in this at all. It’s just that through this act, I can bless you all. I also need Great Strength to maintain our Tribe’s combat power."
When Sophie heard this, she was actually a little moved.
Ethan clearly wasn’t interested, yet he resolutely chose to do something he didn’t want to for the sake of the Tribe.
"I understand. Let’s begin!"
Half an hour late, Sophie went back to her work.
Another hour passed.
Christy had already finished tailoring all the armor she could.
Some armor was even upgraded in quality!
But some failed and became scrap material.
Currently, the Tribe had:
[Ox Hide Armor X 12]
[Fine Quality Ox Hide Armor x 4]
Ethan gathered everyone from the exploration squad.
"Everyone has new clothes to wear now; you don’t have to wear straw clothes anymore."
As soon as he finished speaking, the excitement on the girls’ faces couldn’t be suppressed.
"Among them, there are four pieces of Fine Quality armor, to be given to Elena, Emily, Grace, and Emma respectively."
They heard Ethan’s words and expressed surprise.
Elena: "There are only three pieces, what will you wear if you give them to us?"
Emma: "I’m new, I can wear the regular ones. You are the core of our Tribe; you should wear the good ones."
Grace: "Ethan, be good, you wear the Fine Quality one."
Emily: "I don’t want to admit it, but you should wear it."
Ethan smiled and shook his head.
This was the meaning behind him desperately protecting the Tribe: everyone was willing to sacrifice for each other.
"Elena, Chief Grace and Emma must wear them; you don’t have combat capability. The Fine Quality armor will better protect you," Ethan explained. "Aunt Emily must wear it too. Only with this armor can you utilize the effect of Divine Archery. Otherwise, will you collapse on the ground after taking a small hit? You have to be able to withstand damage first to have a chance to produce."
"As for me, I am the strongest in the Tribe, so wearing a regular piece of armor won’t affect me much."
The few wanted to say more, but Ethan stopped them.
They hesitated but still accepted their Fine Quality armor.
The few girls didn’t stand on ceremony and took off their straw clothes on the spot to change into the leather armor.
But most girls retained their original habit and chose to go inside the hut to change. Ethan didn’t force them.
It was the same whether they changed inside or outside; there was nothing worth looking at anyway.
Elena and the other two also chose to change inside, but Elena pulled Ethan along with her.
The reason was simple: she wanted him to check if it looked good on her.
