Orc Girl's Tribal Daily Life

Chapter 12 Genius! This is a genius!

Although it's called a stone knife, its design is not the same as the "knife" that Jiang Luoluo is familiar with.

They come in all sorts of shapes and sizes, and each person in the tribe has a different stone knife.

After all, the first step in making a stone knife is to chip off the Earth Star Stone to create a sharp fracture surface, which makes it impossible to guarantee that the stone knife will have the same shape.

Some people's stone knives are shaped like the head of an axe, while others' are shaped like a triangular pyramid... Although later, the stone knives are shaped into a shape that is easy to grip using whetstones.

But the original shape is what it is, and no matter how you repair it, you can't make it the same. On the contrary, if you insist on the shape, it is easy to break it directly.

Although the tribe has developed for many years without making any significant technological breakthroughs, it has accumulated considerable experience in crafting a useful stone knife.

There is a well-established plan for determining the specific shape of the Earth Star Stone and the angle at which it should be broken.

He teaches the children in the tribe how to make stone knives using these small pieces of Earth Star Stone. He teaches the children the experience passed down over the years by making them by hand, and then the children pass it on.

"Luo, is there anything you don't understand?" After looking at the progress of the other children, He turned to look at Jiang Luoluo, who was silent and unable to speak.

Just as I was about to answer some questions from the cubs, I discovered that the stone knife in one of their arms was almost fully formed!

"Luo!" Brown exclaimed in astonishment, "You, you..."

He was momentarily at a loss for words.

Jiang Luoluo looked down at the small stone knife for the children's bed in her hand, wondering what Brown was so surprised about.

Isn't it just about looking at the fine lines on the Earth Star Stone, and following the direction of the lines to make it easier to break it into the shape you want?

Other children may need to understand what the patterns are, and construct the corresponding shapes in their minds—before a child's brain is fully developed, they don't have much of a concept of some shapes and need to be taught and grow to gradually understand them—and then think about what shape of stone knife they want.

But Jiang Luoluo didn't need to think about these things. She had a ready-made template in her mind—the "knife pattern" that had been passed down for so many years must be the result of selecting the best from the best over the years. She could just copy it directly.

The result was that Jiang Luoluo had a crescent-shaped scimitar in her hand—Jiang Luoluo preferred straight swords, but the patterns on this Earth Star Stone were more suitable for a scimitar—its beautiful shape even made Hei Du a little tempted.

It wasn't just a little bit; Brown was already considering sharpening his stone knife to the shape of this one. It wasn't until he realized he could no longer participate in the hunt that he came to his senses.

"Luo, let me see your stone knife." Brown suppressed his complicated thoughts and carefully examined the small stone knife, which was a dozen centimeters long, in the cub's hand.

The only downside is that it's too small.

However, it was precisely because it was small that Jiang Luoluo was able to move so quickly. She didn't even need much practice, while the whetstone knife was the most time-consuming part of the entire production process.

"Luo, do you want to make another one? This one is a bit too small." Brown wasn't sure if the cub made it by accident or if the cub really had this talent.

He forced a kind and gentle smile onto his face, which was as stiff as a stone.

Jiang Luoluo also felt that the stone knife was a bit small, while the stone knife of the young man Ge was too big for her and difficult to operate. It was still very necessary to have a stone knife that she could handle.

Jiang Luoluo nodded and, under He's watchful eye, personally selected two medium-sized Earth Star Stones. The reason for needing two was that Earth Star Stones were extremely hard, and only Earth Star Stones could crush them.

After observing the patterns again, Jiang Luoluo placed one Earth Star Stone between her legs to hold it in place, then picked up another Earth Star Stone and smashed it down with precise and unwavering force.

The sound of "crack! Crack crack!" rang out as the Earth Star Stone at the bottom shattered.

Jiang Luoluo picked it up, brushed away the excess pieces, and was satisfied to see the shape she needed appear.

Then turn around, pick up the Earth Star Stone again, and smash off the excess parts on the back of the blade—be careful not to damage the blade itself—leaving only the desired shape of the stone knife before starting to grind the edges.

All sharp parts except the stone knife blade were ground smooth.

After grinding only half of it, He smiled gently and took the half-finished stone knife from her hand.

Watching the cub gradually create the shape of a stone knife before his eyes, Brown couldn't hide his joy.

This child must be a genius at making stone knives!

A good weapon is very important for orc warriors, as it can increase the success rate of a hunt by at least half.

Although orc warriors possess the immense power of beast transformation, this power cannot be used at will. Most of the time, orc warriors can only rely on their own combat skills to hunt.

If Luo Neng could grow into a stone tool maker and provide the orc warriors in the tribe with useful stone knives or other stone weapons, how much more food could the tribe gain from hunting!

That's right, there are professions like stone tool makers in the tribe. These are tribesmen who have a certain talent for making stone knives and other weapons. The weapons they make are more useful and sturdier, but they also take more time to make.

In addition, stone weapons are more easily damaged and need to be replaced frequently, so they have always been in short supply. Adding a stone tool maker to the tribe is a very important thing.

“Luo should go and learn from Chang… No, Luo is still too young. She should stay here and learn first. When she’s older and can help Chang, then we can let her go…” He muttered to himself.

If Jiang Luoluo knew what he was thinking, she would probably just say he was overthinking it. Jiang Luoluo's excellent performance had little to do with talent; it was purely due to his skill in cosplay and the numerous handicrafts he had done when he was young.

A cosplay life without handcrafting cosplay props is incomplete!

However, from another perspective, Jiang Luoluo can be considered a genius in this era, regardless of what abilities she demonstrates. There is no doubt about that.

When young Ge came to pick Jiang Luoluo up that evening, He grabbed his arm and said, "Tomorrow! Ge, you must bring Luoluo over again tomorrow!"

Young Ge looked puzzled: "Huh?!"

He handed the two stone knives that Jiang Luoluo had made that afternoon to the young man Ge, saying, "Ge! Luoluo possesses such powerful talent! She can make such perfect stone knives! She must be a stone tool genius!"

After learning all this, young Ge suddenly fell silent. He, immersed in his surprise, didn't notice, but Jiang Luoluo, who had been listening to their conversation, reacted immediately.

Young Ge felt guilty again.

“He is a talented stonemason…” the young man Ge said softly.
