We have a level system in place for mankind.

A few days after transporting PVC pipes from the warehouse in the Beastman District, I attended my first Town Hall meeting in Higashigami Town. This meeting takes place every two weeks and is attended by representatives of each group.

From the explorers, Muto, Sakuma as the representative of the craftsmen, from agricultural relations to star valley, Takeda and Tokunaga, from educational relations to Koga, the head teacher of the high school, Kato the doctor, and Matsushita, the survivor of the town hall meeting, seem to be the participants.

I was brought here as an advisor to Muto. I didn't even know when I became a consultant in person. Muto was also looking to start working as a fisherman, and he seemed to want the talent to bring the explorers together.

I'm not trying to get people together, so I'm going to encourage them to look for someone else.

The meeting began with Matsushita taking the lead.

"Mr. Muto, I heard you guys pull the tap, is that true?

"Oh, you said it was hard to draw water. So I'm going to ask Sakuma and the others to help me lay down the tap."

Takeda, a large farmer, looks grumpy.

"With the water supply, do we need to make it new? Why don't we just pour the dragonbeard spring water into the water pipe we have now?

"No, there's enough water pressure, it doesn't seem to work. And our Kashiwaki said that the water from the Dragonbeard Spring Water alone was scarce, and the water supply like the original one was revived."

"Kashiwagi...... oh, the Water Authority's"

Teacher Koga, the only woman in this, nodded. The school is about to reopen in Higashigami Town. Several teachers and head Koga were active for this purpose. The teachers' food is supplied by the Muto and some farmers.

"So, what kind of water supply do you install?

To Takeda's question, Muto took out the map and spread it out. According to the plan written on that map, drinking water is to be sent from Ryubeard Spring Water to three locations in Higashikami Town.

The first is near the nursery. The next is a residential density near the coast, and the last is a place with many farmers' houses.

"Hey, is there only one water supply to pull to us"

Takeda complained. Apparently, he claims it's not enough in one place.

"Where do you tell me to increase it?

Takeda pointed to a point on the map. Muto looks strange.

"What do you mean? That's a lot of fields."

"It's a place with a lot of house cultivation. The water supply is stopped and the sprinklers are no longer available."

Muto looks sinister. I also know that watering is important to farmers. But the Dragonbeard Spring Water is the water we secure as drinking water. I think it is a problem to use it as agricultural water.

"You shouldn't be pulling agricultural water from the river."

When I suggest it, Takeda looks grumpy. It seems that the river is a river that connects from East Lake to the East Sand River, and there used to be a waterway.

"Who does that construction?

"That will be done by those who need it."

Takeda makes me look increasingly grumpy when I say I deserve it. Say you can't afford to do that.

They say there are about 1,000 people working in agriculture, but they are working on returning fallow fields and the like to paddy fields and fields, and they cannot work on pulling waterways and the like.

Makes the face wonder if Muto is true. Later on, Takeda seems to have something a little cunning. As a result of the discussion, the planning of the water supply proceeded as is and the waterway was decided to be planned separately.

Takeda questioned Matsushita, who is negotiating with Higashita Town.

"Aren't gas rations coming from Higashita Town?

"I'm asking the mayor of your hand wash, he says there's no gas"

I'm watching the Emperor use the truck. There's got to be gas. I guess I'm sparing some rationing to Higashigami. It is a manifest discrimination.

With regard to petrol, the explorers, Muto and the others, were collecting and using petrol from cars in the Little Ghost District, but they almost recovered it from passenger cars in the Little Ghost District and seemed unsure whether to extend their range of activities to the Beastman District where the dangerous oak was located.

By the way, the fuel at the gas station is claimed by the guys in Higashita Town, and the Muto's can't seem to get their hands on it. The town council people were abusive about it, but they can't seem to resist Higashita, which is gathering armed explorers.

Back from the town hall, I remembered and reflected on my battle with High Oak. I felt like I didn't use enough of the skills I had and I just fought to my advantage.

I'm not denying the power. But I feel like there should have been a better way to fight. Skills likely to help with the attack are Throwing: 4, Axe: 4, Sign Detection: 2, Xiao Zhoutian: 4, Stick: 4, Manipulation Flame: 3, Manipulation Darkness: 2, Knife: 2.

Somehow, the word clever poverty comes to mind. It is difficult to make every skill an advanced skill level of 5. Especially in "manipulative inflammation" and "manipulative darkness", there is a surgical fold.

Maybe I don't have the talent for manipulation. Plus, 'knife technique' seems to be improving slowly. I don't feel like a weapon called a knife is tight. I had a troublesome feeling of consciously swinging the blade direction.

Nevertheless, I see limitations in the 'stick technique' that I think is right for me. It's hard to pin a tough weirdo, even if you slap a stick on a weirdo at the mercy of your strength.

"When this happens, you'll either be empowered enough to submerge the skull of a different beast, or you'll use your skill points to increase your skill level for 'Knife' or 'Manipulative Flame'"

I tried to increase my power and then decided to use my skill points when I couldn't.

The problem is how to empower. This was in the skill knowledge of "Xiao Zhoutian". What I'm practicing right now is a method called static kung fu, but I knew that if I applied another method called kinetic kung fu, which works out my mind while moving my body, I would be able to figure it out.

At the moment Xiao Zhoutian is only concerned along the center line of the body, so its sphere of influence seems to only strengthen the muscles belonging to the trunk muscles. Thanks to the strengthening of the trunk muscles, the attack has increased, but the muscles from foot and shoulder to hand are as usual, so they are not extremely empowering.

So it is the kinetic work. They say that if you master kinetic skills, you will be able to bring your attention to the tip of your hands and feet. Of course, this was a system built by existence that introduced a level system, separate from Qigong, which developed in China.

That's why I call it the Qigong System.

From that day on, during the day, he helped build the water supply, and at night he punched into practicing qigong, sticking and throwing. The goal is to strengthen muscles throughout the body with care, while being able to use stick and throw techniques.

The construction of the water supply is a construction that will be stretched by searchers, including myself, while joining PVC pipes from Ryubeard Spring Water to Dongshang Town. Instead of crawling to the ground, the PVC pipe sticks the iron pipe to the ground and secures it with fittings so that it intersects the iron pipe and the PVC pipe.

"No. Five millimeters up."

It is Sakuma, the carpenter, who is making a tough mess. I wonder if it's a professional pattern, or they won't put up with it unless it's accurate for something like this.

Construction is progressing at a faster pace than usual, as it is centered on explorers who are raising individual levels. Sakuma said it would take about a week, but it's going to be over in three days.

When it was completed three days later and the water came out of the faucet fitted at the end of the pipe, the women living in Higashigami were very pleased. Seemed to have had a lot of trouble pumping water.

After that, I continued my exploration of the Little Ghost and Beastman districts with Elena. What was likely to be needed in the future was left in an empty house, working to collect them.

What we need are cooking tools such as knives, pans and frying pans, as well as clothing, dishes, mirrors, cosmetics, paper, stationery and books.

I thought I didn't need cosmetics, but I say it's important to women. The items taken home are served in a building room next to the west of the nursery. This building was a company building that sold furniture and such, and the owner said he was dead.

I can do this because I own 'Manipulative Darkness' and a shadow bag. And we are collecting such things because the dwellings of the districts where the alien beasts are located are rapidly starting to hurt.

Windows are broken by goblins and oaks, from which rainstorms enter. The warmer times will make it easier for mold and others to grow as well. Before that happened, Elena said she wanted to collect it as much as possible.

"I think clothing is especially important. 'Cause I don't know when I'm gonna be able to make it."

Elena looks anxious.

"Right. We have to start growing cotton."

Even if I could make the least I needed in "Heart Stone Processing," I wouldn't be able to mass produce clothing because it's originally a heart stone. There are about 2,500 residents in Higashigami alone. If I were to make a single outfit for all its inhabitants, I would have a headache considering how many different beasts I would have to defeat.

Fight goblins and oaks as you continue your exploration. After practicing qigong, stick technique and throwing technique at night, the skill levels of "throwing technique," "small Zhoutian" and "stick technique" increased by one.

Elena also started bowing practice at night and seems to be improving her skill levels well.

I went to the woods with sticks to test my strength. To test the power of a tree against its opponent.

I shall try it on a cedar tree with a diameter of about 30 cm. I started moving slowly. That was similar to the movements of people practicing Tai Chi in the park.

Harmonizes breathing and movement and begins to distract along the meridians. At first, I felt like I was only touring the governor's pulse/Ren's pulse, and it spread all over my body. When I felt my whole body go around, I accelerated my movements all at once. The stick swings toward the cedar tree.

The tip of an accelerating stick that I couldn't follow with my eyes slammed the trunk of the tree. At the same time as the trunk could be determined by the sound of a doggo, the tip of the stick broke. I couldn't stand the shock. This was the moment I mastered a kind of excitement called "Hao Limb Strength" "Waste".

"Whoops! Intense."

A single blow had about 15 cm of holes in the trunk. This is going to crack the high oak skull, too. The problem is sticks. I can't stand a stick in a move that uses the power of an auspicious limb.

"Ahhh...... why don't you cut the iron pipe short and fit it"

It would be more like a mace than a stick, but I thought if I could strengthen a stick, I wouldn't be bound by the format.
