I Became The Chief of A Primitive Village

Chapter 112: The First Training Session

Su Bai opened his black eyes, looking at the top of the Teepee, and mentally called out, [System, check in!]

[Ding! Congratulations Host, check in successful!]

[Claim Assistance Package.] Su Bai called out in his mind again.

[Ding! Congratulations Host received Low Grade Assistance: one flashlight.]

As soon as the System’s mechanical voice finished, a flashlight appeared in Su Bai’s hand.

Su Bai thought to himself, [Finally! I won’t be blind at night anymore!]

For the past two days, the Assistance Packages from the System had been food items, like snacks and drinks. Today’s flashlight was going to be useful.

He reached under his pillow and pulled out a pocket watch, checking the time. It was just after seven in the morning.

Su Bai stretched, scanning the Teepee, and noticed that the fox eared girl was not inside.

He picked up his toothbrush, muttering, “Getting up so early, and I don’t even feel tired.”

Before he had transmigrated, he would not go to sleep until two or three in the morning. And the next day, he would not get up until one or two in the afternoon.

Since he had transmigrated, he had been going to bed earlier and waking up earlier. He felt his overall energy and spirit had improved significantly. His previously blurry vision was now extremely sharp. He also felt much stronger overall, no longer the weak and frail person he was before he transmigrated.

“Shaman, you’re awake. I’ll roast some dried meat for you right away,” Yu Ying said softly.

Su Bai smiled slightly, looking at the water bucket in the fox eared girl’s arms, and asked, “Besides fetching water, did you go to the chilli field again?”

Yu Ying nodded with a smile and said, “Yes, I went to water them. I hope they grow quickly.”

“Silly girl, they won’t grow faster just because you look at them every day. Wait a while before checking again, and you might be surprised,” Su Bai chuckled at the fox eared girl’s innocence.

Yu Ying scratched her head embarrassedly and said with a smile. “I understand, Shaman. I’ll roast the meat for you now.”

An hour later, after Su Bai finished eating the roasted dried meat and rested for a while, he took out his pocket watch, checked the time, and said. “Let’s go see how the archers’ training is going.”

Over the past two days, twenty-five longbows had been made, so a team had already started training.

“Alright,” Yu Ying nodded, looking curiously at the object in his hand. “Shaman, what’s that in your hand?”

“This is a magical artefact that tells the time,” Su Bai smiled, putting the pocket watch into his bag as he walked out of the Teepee.

“Shaman, wait for me,” Yu Ying followed closely behind, muttering to herself, “A magical artefact that tells time?”

*Tap tap tap…* About ten minutes later, Su Bai and the fox eared girl arrived at a large open space in the Tribe. This open area had been specially set aside for the archers to train.

In front of the open space were more than twenty wooden posts, each about one metre tall. The posts were not particularly wide, only about as thick as an adult’s thigh, to help the archers train their accuracy. If the posts were too wide, it would be too easy to hit them, which would greatly reduce their need for accuracy in their training.

“Shaman.” Yan Jiao immediately came to greet them.

Su Bai nodded and asked, “How’s their training going? Are they adapting well?”

“The training results are not ideal. Except for Qing Mu and Chi Tu, almost no one can hit the posts,” Yan Jiao sighed.

Of course, Su Bai had already taught Qing Mu and Chi Tu, the two Warrior Trainees, how to operate the longbow and the techniques of archery. He had them practise for two days before letting them lead the fifty people in training.

Su Bai blinked his black eyes and said, “That’s normal. It’s only the first day of training.”

He had anticipated this situation. It would be strange if they could hit a bullseye on their first day of training.

“Shaman, how long do you think it will take for them to be able to hit the posts every time like you?” Yan Jiao asked curiously.

“Hmm… to achieve 100% accuracy, apart from talent, it depends on the time they spend diligently training,” Su Bai looked towards the training field and continued, “If they train diligently and skillfully each day, they should see significant progress in about ten days or so.”

Yan Jiao nodded thoughtfully and said, “So it would take about fifty or sixty days to be like you?”

“If they practise diligently every day and ask questions when they don’t understand, that should be about right. If they only have mediocre talent, it might take even longer,” Su Bai explained.

Yan Jiao’s red eyes widened, and he continued to ask, “Shaman, what about Totem Warriors learning archery? How long would it take them to learn?”

“The time could probably be cut in half, maybe even less if they’re lucky,” Su Bai explained. [Well, no one knows how effective it would be when Totem Warriors start training with bows and arrows. I can only make a conservative estimate.]

“I understand,” Yan Jiao nodded, already looking forward to his own training.

“Shaman, why are you here?” Yan Hua’s voice came from afar.

Su Bai looked in the direction of the voice and said, “I came to see how their first day of training is going. Why are you here?”

“I… I also want to train,” Yan Hua smiled, gesturing with the longbow in her hand.

“Okay, go ahead and train then. I’ll watch from the side for a while,” Su Bai gave a small nod of approval.

“Yes.” Yan Hua nodded firmly, brushing her black hair behind her back and excitedly taking the longbow to the wooden posts.

Su Bai smiled as he watched the cow horned girl’s retreating figure. He soon stepped forward to observe the twenty or so Warrior Trainees. It was important to watch closely during their first training session. This way, any problems could be identified early on and corrected immediately.
