Chapter 7 - More Resources

Adrian let out a cold breath and ordered.

"All puppets, make bows and arrows."

With the order, all the puppets started working, and in less than fifteen minutes, fifteen bows and more than twenty arrows for each puppet were ready. When the order of Adrian is clear enough, there are enough resources, and the order itself is not too complex, the productivity of wood puppets is too high, and they are not compared to humans at all.

Adrian closed his eyes and then whispered. "This is how you use a bow and arrows; it is not that hard."

Adrian imagined using a bow and arrow and thought about the kinds of things needed as he spoke to puppets within his mind.

Seconds later, five wolves that had shown themselves started getting closer to camp. Adrian ordered puppets without batting an eye.

"Hunt them using your new weapons."

With order from Adrian, the puppets drew their bows and shot arrows at the wolves, which were thirty meters away from the camp.

"Fiiiiiiiiiiiiv"

Seconds later, five of the wolves went down, many arrows sticking out from their bodies.

Adrian gulped and smiled as he looked at the wolves on the ground.

"Because they are not humans and do not have too much complex thinking, they are able to perform what I imagined without too much of a problem at all."

"They are almost as good as adept-level archers."

Adrian then took a deep breath and ordered puppets to take the bodies of wolves back and skin them as much as they could.

Adrian had been living in the wilderness for some time, relying on his puppet companions to help him survive. As he sat by the fire, his stomach growling with hunger, he looked over at his puppets.

"Go cook some wolf meat for me," he ordered, his voice firm and commanding.

The puppets nodded, their wooden bodies creaking as they rose to their feet. With practiced ease, they took the wolf meat that Adrian had hunted earlier and began to prepare it over the fire.

As the smell of roasting meat filled the air, Adrian turned his attention to his clothing. He had been using weeds to cover his private parts for some time, but he knew that he needed something more substantial if he was going to survive in the wilderness.

"Start gathering some pelts of wood and use the wolf hide to make me some clothing," he said, gesturing to the surrounding trees.

The puppets nodded, their wooden bodies swaying as they moved off into the forest. Adrian watched them go, his mind already racing with plans for his new outfit.

As the puppets returned with the wood pelts, they started to work until they formed a rough tunic and pants. Some puppets watched Pan Puppet Leader work, their eyes unblinking and their wooden bodies still.

Finally, after several hours of hard work, Adrian stepped back and looked at his new clothing. It was rough and crude, but it would serve its purpose. He pulled it on, feeling the rough material against his skin.

"It is better than not wearing anything. At least, it feels great."

Adrian thought.

The time passed quickly, and nighttime arrived. A campfire was lit by the puppets, and Adrian sat on the chair made by puppets, watching the fire as his eyes closed.
