Chapter 10: The White Qilin Horse

Early the next morning, Mo Xiaobai was woken up by the villagers who had risen early.

After waking up, his first instinct was to look toward the distant rice fields.

Although they were far away, there was no obstruction in between, so Mo Xiaobai could clearly see a large sea of golden waves swaying and rising in the gentle breeze.

“Cool~”

“It really has ripened, the rice has truly ripened.”

Mo Xiaobai excitedly scrambled up from the ground. He felt no discomfort from sleeping outdoors like an old veteran. Like a child seeing a new toy, he cheered and ran toward the golden rice fields, completely ignoring the weird looks from the villagers around him.

“Haha~ Hahaha~ All rice grains, every single one is plump.”

“So cool, absolutely amazing!”

Mo Xiaobai pulled down a stalk of rice and examined it closely for a while after parting the husks. Although he couldn’t farm, he could tell the grains of grain from one another. The rice in his hand was definitely not worse than the rice that normally refreshed in the game.

“I have decided. Starting today, ‘Daming Village’ will implement a three-meal-a-day system.”

As the saying goes, having grain in hand means not panicking in the heart.

Mo Xiaobai made his decision while waving the rice stalk. Then, then no one paid any attention to his decision as their Lord.

This was so awkward!

“Oh right, the residents of this Plane live in a world with only two meals a day. If I suddenly propose three meals a day, they might not accept it willingly, nor do they understand the reason.”

Mo Xiaobai finally realized it. The Plane had just opened, and the residents refreshed by the Intellect Brain had never heard of a three-meal system. They either ate when hungry or ate fixed meals in the morning and evening.

As for breakfast? What in the world is that?

“Maogong, arrange for the villagers to boil some porridge first. From now on, our Territory must have breakfast every single morning.” Since everyone didn’t understand, Mo Xiaobai didn’t waste his breath explaining. He would push the three-meal system forward first, and the results would be seen slowly in the future.

“Okay.”

Li Ji glanced at the ripe rice stalks but did not object. Harvesting ten units of rice fields once would yield a minimum of two hundred units of grain. Plus the stored grain in the granary, this was no small amount.

They built a fire, washed the rice, and boiled the porridge.

Everything proceeded in an orderly fashion. Just as a bowl of white porridge was brought to Mo Xiaobai by Li Ji, a friend call request suddenly rang out.

Mo Xiaobai’s only friend was “I Love Eating Perch”. Without even thinking, he knew the Fatty was calling to share some good news.

He answered the call and smiled: “I just woke up this morning when I heard the cuckoo bird call. It seems you have good news to tell me?”

“Good news! The best news!”

On the other end of the line, the Fatty’s voice was unsteady, with obvious heavy breathing and excitement: “Yesterday, it took me over an hour to get to the hidden basin you mentioned. That place is incredible. Not only were there herds of Wuwan horses, but there were also many Xiongnu Horses. They were all fat and healthy. Their looks were hundreds of times better than my Yellow-Maned Horse. Even on Water Blue Star, you probably can’t find many that could compare.”

“Oh, are there White Qilin Horses among the Wuwan horses too?”

“Yes, yes, I stayed there all night. There were at least seven or eight hundred White Qilin Horses.” The Fatty nodded rapidly and told Mo Xiaobai everything that had happened from last night until this morning.

In short, the harvest was very rich.

Players could gain character experience by taming horses. Relying on the thousands of wild horses in the basin, the Fatty continuously tamed and released them, then tamed and released them again. Each horse provided a few to over ten points of experience. Relying solely on this, the Fatty had already reached Level 10 overnight.

Not only that, but because he had tamed too many Wuwan horses, he had unlocked a talent called “Bo Le”.

He now had the level and the talent. Finally, the Fatty brought out fifty White Qilin Horses that he had carefully selected. Taking advantage of the dim morning sky, he quickly rushed back to the Territory. This was only possible because he had the talent bonus. Otherwise, a Level 10 alt character could never have commanded fifty wild horses to run at once.

“Let me tell you, buddy. If you had seen the posture of those White Qilin Horses with your own eyes, just the way they took small steps would make the black-maned Wuwan horses beside them lower their heads collectively. They eat the freshest grass and drink the purest mountain spring water from the upper source. Their legs are so strong they can compete with cows. Most importantly, their hooves truly have scales, glowing with a golden shine.”

The Fatty was still in an excited state and kept rambling on endlessly. In the end, he couldn’t help but show off: “It’s a pity that friends can only talk and cannot video call or send pictures. Otherwise, you could see how amazing those White Qilin Horses are. Riding such a horse out would definitely grab everyone’s attention. Ninety-nine percent of the girls wouldn’t mind a ‘horse quake’ at all.”

Mo Xiaobai felt helpless; old drivers always unintentionally drive fast.

“The video and picture functions will soon be satisfied by the Intellect Brain. As for what ‘horse quake’ is, you should go dream about that in your own dreams.” Mo Xiaobai shook his head and switched to the main topic: “You now have fifty White Qilin Horses. How do you plan to arrange them?”

“Of course, I will breed and raise them to produce even better horses. I selected forty breeding horses from the basin, half male and half female. They are absolutely the best breeding horses in the basin.” When talking about business, Luyu’s spirit cheered up: “The remaining ten horses are first-class top-tier war horses. You will definitely like them. When I have a chance in the future, I will send them over to you.”

“Then let me thank you first.” Mo Xiaobai did not hesitate, for he knew the Fatty’s character well and did not need false politeness.

“Haha, no thanks, no thanks. You gave me a piece of news and let me get all this. If anyone should thank anyone, it is me thanking you.” The Fatty grinned in response, but he didn’t forget to ask: “Didn’t you say yesterday that if I successfully tamed the White Qilin Horse, we could continue to talk about cooperation? What exactly is the cooperation?”

“A very big cooperation.”

Mo Xiaobai started painting a big pie for the Fatty again and spoke softly: “You now have White Qilin Horses, but you still lack a suitable pasture for grass. I know a place. It is located on a plain, the weather is pleasant, and the soil is very fertile. No matter the harvest amount or quality, planting grains and cereals there is top-tier in the entire Huaxia Region.”

“Buddy, are you joking?”

“Even if I am joking, I am telling the truth. But if you want to go there, you still need a specific Item.”

“What Item?”

“A Migration Talisman.” Mo Xiaobai curled his lips and spoke the name of a Plane Item.

Migration Talisman!

In Mo Xiaobai’s previous life, this item was even rarer than a Gold Grade Lord Token.

However, rare things are precious. The function of the Migration Talisman was also huge. It allowed a designated Territory to be moved arbitrarily to any unoccupied spot within the Huaxia Region.

Although Migration Talismans had strict rankings for Villages, Towns, and Cities, because of their god-like function, even the lowest-rank Village Migration Talisman would cost thousands of Gold or more when the Intellect Brain publicly auctioned it after one year.

One Migration Talisman plus a Gold Lord Token.

This was the strongest starter for new Lords that countless players had summarized. Unfortunately, this idea only existed in theory. In the first three years of his previous life, Mo Xiaobai had never heard of anyone succeeding.

As for after three years? Forget about the strongest starter in history. Even if it was the strongest starter in the universe, it wouldn’t matter. Most Territories were based on Cities. Who would care about a small Gold Village?

But three years later was three years later. Right now, we were still in the first three days after the Plane opened.

At this moment, the power of the Migration Talisman was so great that even Mo Xiaobai found it hard to imagine.
