I'm involved in poverty alleviation in a primitive tribe.

There are still many stone and wood chips on the ground that haven't been cleaned up yet; these will be cleaned up after the competition ends.

The soldiers responsible for maintaining order went to the stone shaman and brought back large wooden boxes, placing them in front of each contestant.

"Now for the second round: assembly! Each of you has a large box in front of you containing various odds and ends. You must select the appropriate parts to assemble a complete and sturdy lantern. The lantern is this one I'm holding. Watch closely! Now! The competition begins!"

Jiang Ning lit another shorter pine stick. The lantern was simple; it was made by sticking together wooden sticks of various sizes. She had made one before using disposable chopsticks when helping her neighbor's children with their crafts, except that back then she used rope and glue.

These parts were the troublesome part. She had to find someone to make the materials for the competition, but she couldn't let the news get out, so she made all sorts of strange and unusual shapes.

The lanterns used as samples were very large and had no lantern cloth covering them. This time, contestants were not restricted to staying in place, and everyone could come forward to examine the details closely.

Soon someone successfully assembled a small lantern, and by the end of the competition, more than 30 people had completed the assembly.

Jiang Ning was not disappointed. Lanterns were something outside their understanding; they had never seen them before. This result was already quite good.

"Round Three: Crafting! Everyone can craft something they are best at. Note! By the end of the competition, it must be a finished product! If you don't have the materials you need here, just tell the soldiers next to you, and they will fetch them for you. The competition begins!"

Some people simply took a piece of pure animal bone to make a bone knife, while others used wood to make a table.

Jiang Ning took a closer look at the people she was paying attention to. Zhui picked up some wood and built a wooden house? The wooden house looked quite decent.

Qingpan was polishing arrowheads. He was most skilled at making various bone artifacts, so naturally he would choose to do what he was good at.

The woman from the Spotted Duck tribe chose a wooden cage. Although she was an ordinary person, she had worked hard all year round and was quite strong. If she could be selected to join the workshop this time, she would definitely receive more things in the future. Haven't you seen how many good things the people in the canteen have ordered every day? Even if some of them have to be handed over to the alliance, there would still be a lot left over.

She has no chance to awaken, but her child still has a chance. When the time comes, she can work hard and take on more jobs to earn some nourishing fruits for her child.

Uninterested in others' work, she patiently smoothed the edges. After all, Jiang Wu said to do what she was good at. She was in charge of taking care of the baby ducks in the tribe. Fearing that the newborn ducklings might be snatched and eaten by some passing ferocious birds, she went to the Tianlang tribe to learn how to make duck cages from Mao. It is said that Jiang Wu taught her how to make them.

Jiang Ning: "The competition is over! Everyone stop what you are doing and step back. Lian Wu, step forward and mark their results."

After Lianwu finished marking, Jiang Ning said, "Everyone holding black beans can line up here to give black beans to the participants. Leave immediately after giving them the black beans! Do not stay in one place!"

After watching the day's excitement with satisfaction, everyone rushed to the left side of the venue to line up. Having watched for so long, they naturally knew what to expect, or simply decided to vote for acquaintances.

The procession moved forward little by little, finally ending at dusk.

"Alright, everyone, please disperse! We will tally the results of the competition and announce them at the chef competition. The chef competition will be held the day after tomorrow, so please prepare well."

Compared to the craftsmanship competition where you can only look but not eat, the chef competition is obviously more attractive. Jiang Wu said that everyone will be able to taste all the dishes made by the contestants so that the voting results will be more authentic.

Jiang Ning led a team to compile statistics overnight, but she still had to rely on herself. In order to make a breakthrough, she didn't go to the academy much this winter, only going for a few days before the competition.

Although Lianwu was there to guide them, many people had forgotten how to write, and could only help count the beans at most.

Jiang Ning led everyone to carefully examine the contestants' works and, after referring to Hei Dou's data, finally finalized the list of winners.

Looking at the dense crowd in the square, Jiang Ning loudly announced the results of the craftsman competition.

"Level Three Craftsmen: Stone Tribe Cone, Bamboo Tribe Flying Cloud, Spotted Duck Tribe White Palm..."

"Level Two Craftsmen: Qingpan from the Tianlang Tribe, Furong from the Tianlang Tribe, Daxian from the Bang Tribe, Yan from the Dajiaolu Tribe..."

"First-class craftsman: Bamboo Tribe..."

"In this craftsman competition, a total of eleven level-three craftsmen, thirty-five level-two craftsmen, and one hundred and twelve level-one craftsmen were selected. Considering that some people are more skilled in hunting and planting, and the workshop is newly established, only eighty people will be recruited. The list of craftsmen's ratings and the list of workshop personnel have been posted on the leaderboard. Please check them out yourselves. I will arrange for a literate warrior to explain them to you."

People are generally quite honest and kind. Those who are confident enough to sign up for the competition do indeed have excellent skills, and the final evaluation level is well-deserved.

White Palm, from the Spotted Duck Tribe, stood amidst the crowd, surrounded by tribespeople offering their congratulations. She seemed to be in a dream: "A Level Three Craftsman? Me?"

A tribesman next to her patted her on the shoulder and laughed, "That's right! White Palm from the Spotted Duck Tribe! It's you! There's no one else in our tribe named White Palm!"

Bai Zhang snapped out of his daze, initially overjoyed, but quickly calmed down: "Everyone who participated in the competition got selected, but the workshop only needs eighty people. I don't even know if I can make it. Sigh..."

The tribespeople knew her well and naturally understood her feelings. White Palm's spouse was a valiant warrior who had died in battle while hunting long ago. White Palm, an ordinary person, protected her child and fled with the tribe all the way here, where life was very difficult.

Although White Palm has excellent skills, she is not a warrior after all, and there are many materials she cannot process. In the past, she could only help everyone make some ordinary things, barely exchanging them for some dried meat.

Fortunately, Jiang Wu was very capable and managed to fill everyone's stomachs; otherwise, who knows what would have happened to Bai Zhang and her Miao Miao.

The tribesmen comforted them, saying, "Many people just want to be selected as artisans, but they're too busy hunting to go to the workshop. You're a level three artisan, you'll definitely be selected! Jiang Wu said the alliance will pay the workshop and canteen, so your lives will be much better from now on."

Miaomiao, the child with the white palm, hugged her arm and said, "Mom, I will definitely become a warrior in the future! I will take care of you!"

Miao Miao is nine years old this year and is already very sensible. He usually helps Bai Zhang with chores. Because of this, he refused to be among the first batch of students to go to school.
