Chapter 101: From Stunned to Numb
Chapter 101: From Stunned to Numb
After looting the corpses, Mo Xiaobai collected his own loot.
Mo Xiaobai had originally wanted to take the Black Mane Horse outside the forest as well, but unfortunately, this sturdy warhorse was just a shell. After Li Guang shot it with an arrow, its entire front right leg was basically broken.
A lame horse simply did not interest Mo Xiaobai at all. After discussing the matter with Liu Ye to continue their journey, they left the horse outside the forest to fend for itself.
The rest of the journey became smooth again.
Aside from the morning incident, the escort mission did not cause a single ripple.
When a group of Players surrounded Liu Ye and walked out of the special mission scene, the massive Cao Army camp stretching for miles was clearly visible.
Entering the Cao Army’s Front Camp together with Liu Ye, a hint from the Intellect Brain rang in the ears of many Players, including Mo Xiaobai.
Mission complete. The Merit reward has been received.
“Is the Great God going to hand over the grain?”
“Do you want us to help?”
“Thanks to the Great God this time. We earned dozens of Merit points.”
“There is meat to eat when following the Great God. When is the next mission? Can you take us with you?”
After receiving another 50 Merit points, the faces of the 200+ Players lit up with smiles.
It felt like ages ago when they were fighting desperately with Players from the Yuan Shao Camp over a few Merit points in the supply line. But this special mission not only earned plenty of Merit points but also had no danger halfway through, and they even gained a lot of experience.
It was simply too awesome!
Seeing these Players acting so eager, Mo Xiaobai smiled faintly and shook his head: “This time was just luck. Next time might not be the same. Let’s talk if there’s a chance later. I’ll go hand in the mission first.”
With that, he and Li Ji, Li Guang pushed the grain carts forward into the camp toward the task point for storing grain.
The large carts creaked and groaned. Pushing three large carts at once made quite a noise, and soon the Players nearby took notice as they reached the task point.
“Who is that pushing the cart?”
“Is it one person or a group?”
“It must be a group, don’t you see over a hundred people following around them?”
“So many people coming together? Did someone open up a supply route?”
Seeing Mo Xiaobai pushing the cart forward, the Players of the Cao Cao Faction, although they knew about the “big event” that happened half a day ago, did not connect this group of people to killing Han Meng.
They just took a curious look and then stopped paying attention.
Noticing no one was staring at them, Mo Xiaobai was naturally delighted. He quietly stood in line, and within a moment, it was his turn to hand over the grain.
“General Han, I am here to hand over the grain.”
Standing before a sturdy General who looked to be in his prime, Mo Xiaobai pointed to the three carts beside him: “These are all the grain I brought.”
“Oh? A Baron has indeed brought such a large amount of army rations.”
Han Hao, who was in charge of supervising the camp’s grain and fodder, also “recognized” Mo Xiaobai’s title of Baron and showed some surprise in his expression: “The camp is currently lacking grain, and the Baron has come at just the right time.”
“Please, General, inspect the goods.”
Mo Xiaobai certainly knew the Cao Army was short on food. If it was not short enough, Han Hao would never have personally stood here to inspect the grain brought by Players.
When Han Hao saw the grain, he looked just like a soldier seeing an opposite-sex woman.
Eyes sparkling with excitement, he personally inspected every sack of army rations.
As Han Hao confirmed the inspection, soldiers behind him kept carrying the grain away, and Mo Xiaobai’s Merit score began to “climb” rapidly.
280.
300.
350.
400.
When the grain on the three large carts was finished being inspected, Mo Xiaobai’s personal Merit value had already grown to 408 points.
“My God, he handed over over a thousand units of grain by himself.”
“This is truly, against the heavens.”
“Do they have to play like this? Is this cheating?”
In the distance, those ignorant onlookers were still marveling at how terrifying the amount of grain Mo Xiaobai turned in at once really was. However, the hundred-plus Players who did the mission with Mo Xiaobai were not surprised at all.
These were all things they “sold” to the Great God. If the Great God made a profit, they would definitely not lose out either.
“The batch of grain brought by the Baron has solved the urgent crisis of the camp’s lack of food. If My Lord knows, he will surely praise the Baron.”
With over a thousand units of grain entering the warehouse, Han Hao looked very happy. However, just as he finished speaking, Mo Xiaobai took out his Xumi Bag and slowly opened his mouth: “General Han seems to underestimate this Baron too much. How could I have traveled back and forth between Xudu and Guandu just for a few carts of grain?”
“What does the Baron mean by this?”
“General, please inspect another batch of grain.”
Mo Xiaobai did not answer directly. Instead, he opened the Xumi Bag, and the burlap sacks full of army rations were taken out one by one from the bag.
10 units.
20 units.
40 units.
80 units.
…
In less than a minute, a full two thousand units of army rations were piled up before Han Hao again.
“A-are these all our army’s rice?”
“Yes, General, please inspect them.”
Mo Xiaobai stood aside and raised his hand, gesturing for Han Hao to continue inspecting the grain.
Half of the rice he took out this time was traded from Players, and the other half was brought out from his own Territory.
Although the rice came from different places, these were truly food that could fill everyone’s stomachs.
“What the hell am I seeing??”
“Is this, like, magic?”
“How could such a small bag hold thousands of units of grain?”
“Someone tell me, what is going on? Does this lousy game have any fairness or justice left?”
The Cao Camp Players watching from afar looked at Mo Xiaobai produce grain out of nowhere with their mouths open and eyes wide.
The Players surrounding Mo Xiaobai, however, felt even deeper shock.
“I really feel like we are not playing the same game as the Great God.”
“Is the Great God’s bag a space Item like the Players’ backpacks?”
“So the Great God is playing the high-magic fantasy version? We are playing the primitive version?”
“Can a little newbie apply for a version update?”
“If the Great God is this overpowered, does his family know?”
As various exclamations rose and fell around, Han Hao had already finished counting two thousand units of grain again. With a large amount of army rations entering the warehouse, Han Hao suddenly felt that the pressure on his shoulders seemed a bit lighter.
“General, are you satisfied?”
“Satisfied, satisfied. The Baron bringing such a large amount of grain into the camp is a great merit. I will inform My Lord of this tonight.”
“Is this already a great merit? Haha~ It’s still too early. Come on, let’s continue.” Mo Xiaobai laughed loudly, and the Xumi Bag was opened again.
“Bang, bang, bang, bang!”
One minute later, another two thousand units of grain landed right in front of Han Hao.
“Damn, is there still more?”
“Could that thing be an bottomless pit?”
“How much grain did the Great God actually get?”
Looking at the rice once again covering the ground, the 100+ Players around had evolved from stunned to numb.
Sometimes, there really is a huge gap between people.
Just when they were patting themselves on the back for their gains from the special mission, the Great God was already eyeing the next task.
With one move, he produced thousands of units of army rations.
It seemed the end was not yet in sight. As for exactly how much he would produce in the end, they couldn’t even guess.
At this moment, there was only one thing they knew:
During the day, wherever Daydream Great God was, he was an existence that could crush all other Players.
