Chapter 166: Expertise in Bullying
Ratchet Village is not stable now, and Yang Yi really didn't take a break.
Yang Yi called Benbol Ba and the few murlocs with management talent, and then he rode on the big turtle, and let Benbol Ba and the few murlocs follow the turtle's tail.
The big turtle led this small group of murlocs to run in Ratchet Village for a while, and Yang Yi sat on the turtle's shell and roughly inspected Ratchet Village.
Ratchet Village is now quite large, and this round of inspection made the murlocs who ran wildly behind the turtle tired and their legs and feet weak, and they kept sticking out their tongues.
Finally, the big turtle stopped in the central square of Ratchet Village. Yang Yi sat on the turtle's back and chewed pork jerky, looking down at the group of murlocs who were about to collapse and scolded them heartlessly: "Look at yourselves, this performance is far from qualified."
"..."
Several murlocs with management talents drooped their tongues and couldn't utter a word.
Compared with these few little murlocs, Benbol Ba has been living on land away from the murloc nursery pond for a longer time. Moreover, he has passed the training of the murloc tidewalker training camp and is now a level 1 murloc tidewalker.
Therefore, Benbol Ba has the best physical strength and is the only little murloc who can still speak.
Benbol Ba straightened his waist, pointed at the breathless little murloc with his finger, and said angrily: "You useless stinky boys, the boss is teaching you personally, this is all for your good. Follow the boss well, and you will be guaranteed to eat delicious and spicy food, understand!"
After listening to Benbol Ba's words, the little murlocs were refreshed and finally spit out a word with all their strength.
"Wow!" (Yes!)
The little murlocs were moved and almost cried. They thought about how busy the mayor was, and how rare it was that he took the time to teach them personally. They must not let the mayor down.
Yang Yi threw the half-eaten pork jerky in his hand to Benbol Ba. This guy was unreliable, but he was good at flattering.
"Especially Benbol Ba, you still have the nerve to criticize others. Don't think that you don't need to exercise as a magic professional. Look at how weak your body is. You can't even stand steadily after running a few steps."
"Yes, boss, Benbol Ba will definitely change his ways and become a fishman again to contribute to the construction of Ratchet Village." Benbol Ba quickly caught the pork jerky that fell, stuffed it into his mouth and chewed it, then shouted vaguely: "Thank... Thank you, boss... for the reward of pork... jerky!"
"Don't talk nonsense, come with me to the nursery pond."
Yang Yi didn't bother to pay attention to Benbol Ba, he rode a turtle to the nursery pond.
The gate of the nursery pond was originally inaccessible to large turtles, and the gate was specially expanded to facilitate Yang Yi, the mayor. Therefore, Yang Yi rode a turtle directly to the four ponds of the nursery pond.
At this time, a fight between small fishmen happened on the shore of the nursery pond, and the fishman manager in charge of the nursery pond was busy trying to mediate.
The fishman manager rushed forward with a scream, punching and kicking the small fishmen who were fighting. The small fishmen who were fighting were lying on the ground in pain and looking at the fishman manager in horror. No small fishmen dared to say anything, and the fight was "peacefully" resolved.
Seeing Yang Yi coming on a big turtle, the fishman manager of the nursery pond glanced at the small fishmen who fell to the ground and clapped his hands triumphantly, then ran towards Yang Yi.
In the past, this place was mainly managed by the fishman merchant. Since the fishman merchant was transferred away, several managers have been replaced.
This is because the fishmen who were specially selected with expertise such as "careful" and "management" could not manage these small fishmen who were always full of energy and kept making noise. In the end, only the current fishman succeeded in doing it for more than a month, so he was officially promoted to the manager of the nursery pond.
Yang Yi knew that although the nursery pond manager was only of E-level qualification, he had the specialty of "bullying", so he was very good at managing (bullying) the murlocs.
It is said that everything should be used to its full potential and people should be used to their full potential. The specialty of bullying was unexpectedly useful here, which probably means this.
The nursery pond manager knew that Yang Yi, the mayor, was here to inspect the growth of the murlocs. Although he didn't know what special meaning Yang Yi had in taking a look, he immediately ran to summon the murlocs who had just landed.
Taking advantage of this time, Yang Yi observed the nursery pond.
The murloc nursery pond is now a level 3 building. Now there are 10 murlocs landing here every day, which means that about 300 murlocs enter the ratchet village from here to live in a month.
300 murlocs per month is a considerable number for an average murloc village.
But in fact, this scale is far from enough, and there are several times more murloc seedlings that can only live in the wild sea.
Although the Ratchet Village sent murlocs to protect these murloc seedlings, life in the wild is not as safe as in the nursery pond. Many murloc seedlings died in the stomachs of fish, shrimps and crabs, which made Yang Yi very sad.
"When the village had a level 1 murloc nursery pond, about 100 murlocs were cultivated every month. When it was level 2, it became 200. When it reached level 3, it only became 300. It seems that this number is not increasing exponentially."
Yang Yi has always kept the data of various buildings in the Ratchet Village, especially such important buildings as the nursery pond.
As the Ratchet Village develops, the population must grow exponentially or even several times.
At present, it seems that the population development of the Ratchet Village can no longer be placed on the nursery pond. The nursery pond may only be used as a place to cultivate elite murlocs.
While Yang Yi was thinking, the murloc manager quickly completed the task.
The murlocs bully the weak and fear the strong, and the murlocs are the same. Therefore, the nursery pond manager who has the bullying specialty quickly gathered the murlocs together. There were a total of 50 murlocs, all of whom Yang Yi had not seen since he came ashore.
As usual, Yang Yi used the Lord's Eye to look at the murlocs one by one.
As expected, the murlocs with the "Dexterous Hands" specialty were the most, with a total of 18, which shows that these murlocs have grown well. The second is the "Strong" specialty, with 10.
These two are both common specialties among murlocs.
The third is the "Bullying" specialty, with 9 murlocs having this specialty.
Yang Yi knew that there were not many murlocs in Ratchet Town who had this specialty before. I don't know if it's because these murlocs were bullied too much by the nursery pond manager, or if the murlocs were used to bullying the lobster seedlings who lived with them when they were murloc seedlings.
The fishmen in the nursery pond were specially selected by the fishmen in the village. In addition, a certain proportion of the new fishmen recently were sown by powerful fishmen in the village, so the proportion of fishmen with specialties is much higher than before.
"Hey, this D-level fishman is a long beach fishman, and has the specialties of "fishman leader", "negotiation", "long-handled weapon" and "search". Except that the qualification level is lower than that of the old blind man, the rest are exactly the same as the old blind man. Could it be the seed sown by the old blind man?"
Yang Yi couldn't help guessing in his heart. After thinking about it seriously, the D-level qualification of this fishman was not bad, and the three specialties of the fishman were simply copied from the old blind man as a template.
"Manager, that fishman, take special care of this lord."
Yang Yi did not avoid suspicion and pointed at the fishman who was suspected to be the offspring of the old blind man in public.
Yang Yi thought that no matter whether he was or not, as long as he was suspected to be the offspring of the Black brothers and the old blind man, he should be taken care of first.
"Yes! Mayor." The steward immediately remembered the little murloc carefully.
The little murlocs grew up in the nursery pond. When they were murlocs, they often saw Yang Yi, the murloc mayor, come to the nursery pond to name the little murlocs to be taken care of. They also knew that being named by the mayor meant that they could walk sideways in the nursery pond in the future and no one dared to bully them.
Happiness came too suddenly. The little murlocs who were named screamed and screamed, and the other little murlocs stamped their feet in envy.
"And this one, this one..., keep an eye on them." Yang Yi named the little murlocs with good talents and specialties, and then said to Benbol Ba and several little murlocs with leadership skills who followed him: "You guys should also remember them, understand."
These little murlocs named by Yang Yi will not only be taken care of, but more importantly, they will be sent to school in the future.
The number of schools in Ratchet Town is limited. It is still far from universal education for murlocs. Only a small number of little murlocs have the opportunity to go to school, so these places must be designated by Yang Yi.
Yang Yi called out the names and explained everything before leaving the nursery pool.
After coming out of the nursery pool, Yang Yi kept thinking about something.
Just now, when Yang Yi saw the little fishman who was suspected to be the offspring of the old blind man in the nursery pool, he was thinking about whether he could change the current situation where the fishmen lay eggs in the sea and then let the fishmen's offspring grow up naturally without a father or a mother.
It is said that a tiger father will not have a dog son. If the offspring has the expertise of the parents and grows up under the careful training of the parents, then there is a good hope that they will become talents in the future. If they continue to be thrown into a large group of small fish people like now, and grow up eating from the same pot, whether they can become talents can only be left to fate.
The advantage of fishmen is that they can give birth, but it is a waste of this advantage for the little fishmen to have a growth environment where they are born but no one raises them.
Yang Yi is getting more and more familiar with the fishmen race. He has long discovered the biggest advantage of the fishmen race - they give birth a lot and grow fast.
Female murlocs can lay dozens or hundreds of eggs at a time. Although not every egg can successfully conceive, it is already amazing among humanoid creatures. Then murlocs grow fast, and the murloc nursery pool in Ratchet Village has the effect of accelerating growth, so the time required for adulthood is even shorter.
Moreover, female murlocs do not need to carry a big belly for several months to give birth. The birth process is to go into the sea and lay eggs, which will not hinder production and work at all.
This efficiency of reproduction and growth is simply the most powerful racial talent of the murlocs. It is no wonder that the murlocs, a semi-civilized race that stirs up trouble everywhere and has weak strength, can expand to almost every water area in the world of Azeroth.
Yang Yi wants to make the best use of this powerful talent of the murlocs to cultivate elite murlocs. If he can successfully let the murlocs form a family, the effect will be greatly enhanced.
Unfortunately, the murlocs seem to have never had the concept of family. It is not easy to change the living habits of a race. However, no matter whether it works or not, we always have to find a way to try it, even if it starts with individual murlocs and slowly promotes it.
Yang Yi sat on the turtle and thought about the development of the fishmen. He came to the beach southeast of the Ratchet Bay without realizing it.
The Ratchet Bay is a U-shaped bay that opens diagonally to the southeast. One side of the U-shaped bay is the commercial coast on the west side, and the other side is the cliff beach in the northeast that was once sparsely populated.
After the development of the fishmen in Ratchet Town, most of the mudflats under the cliff beach in the northeast have been reclaimed and used as breeding farms. In particular, the fertile mudflats close to Ratchet Town have now become the key areas that Ratchet Village focuses on guarding.
These mudflats are now the experimental fields for cultivating pearl shells in Ratchet Town. Yang Yi sent 10 fishmen beach walkers to guard them permanently. Together with the 30 patrol fishmen patrolling the nearby coast, this beach has basically become the private territory of Ratchet Village.
For the convenience of management, Yang Yi made a simple organization for the combat fishmen. A squad is fully staffed with 10 people, three squads are a squadron, and three squadrons are a brigade.
According to this organization, a brigade should have 90 people, but so many people acting together require considerable logistical support, so a brigade has more logistics fishmen, so a brigade is exactly 100 people.
When Yang Yi brought the little fishmen here, it was high tide. The mudflats of the shellfish farm were submerged by sea water. He only saw the patrol fishmen stationed here.
The shellfish farm of the fishmen is still in extensive farming, and fishmen are not needed to take care of it at ordinary times, so there are no fishmen laborers here.
"Has anyone come to steal the seashells from our farm recently?" Yang Yi asked the captain of the merman beach walker.
"Mayor, only one big turtle came." The captain pointed to a turtle shell larger than a pot lid that was mostly covered by mud on the beach not far away.
It seems that the poor big turtle not only did not eat the delicious clam meat, but also lost its life for it and had already been eaten by these mermen.
"Well, it seems that you did a good job. After completing the task, everyone will be rewarded."
"Thank you, Mayor!" The patrol merman team cheered.
"You also saw that you should be rewarded for doing well." Yang Yi took the opportunity to teach the few little mermen who followed him.
"The boss is wise, and rewards and punishments are clear. He is awesome." Ben Boerba quickly flattered him.
"The mayor is wise and awesome." Several little mermen followed suit.
Ben Boerba, this stinky boy, has led the newcomers astray again, but Yang Yi likes him very much.
"By the way, where's the little mute? Where did she go?"
"Mayor, the little mute went over there." The captain of the patrolling fishmen pointed to the direction of the bay's estuary.
Yang Yi nodded. The cliff beach in the southeast of the Ratchet Bay is not as flat as the commercial coast in the southwest, so the terrain of the mudflats here is also high and low. The farm in front of us has been submerged by the tide, but some places have not.
Different ebb tides will affect the growth of clams, which is one of the reasons why the production of clams in different farms is different. .
