Chapter 103: The Situation on All Fronts

“Huaxia Region Announces ~ Congratulations to Player ‘Daydreaming’ for being promoted to Colonel and becoming the first player in the Dynasty to receive an official position. A special reward of 5 gold, one ‘Building – Manor’, and one random Territory Military Supply Building is granted.”

“Huaxia Region Announces ~ Congratulations to Player ‘Daydreaming’ for being promoted to Colonel and becoming the first player in the Dynasty to receive an official position. A special reward of 5 gold, one ‘Building – Manor’, and one random Territory Military Supply Building is granted.”

…

When the rewards for being the first to unlock an official position were announced, the players next to Mo Xiaobai felt nothing but envy and jealousy. Daydream Great God obtaining various first kills had long become a common sight, so there was really nothing surprising about this latest achievement.

Mo Xiaobai himself was not surprised at all. He continued to take grain out and hand it over. There were still over six thousand units of rice left in his Xumi Bag, so he simply dumped it all out at once.

After the last large batch of rice was inspected and received in the storage, Mo Xiaobai’s personal Merit Value had reached 2243. After deducting the 1500 Merit points used, he still had 743 Merit points available.

Even with this value, he was still far ahead of the second person on the Huaxia Region Merit List, Mo Father.

…

“What exactly did he do?”

“How could his Merit Value increase so fast in just a few minutes?”

In the Great Zhou Dynasty Instance “Prince You of Zhou Attacks Shen”, Guming Diaoyu, who had just finished a fierce battle with the Quanrong clan, furrowed his brows deeply. In this historical event of King You of Zhou destroying the nation, he had chosen the side of King You of Zhou. He had also realized just how hard it was to earn Merit points.

Even though the legendary event of King You of Zhou playing with the feudal lords by lighting the beacon fires had not happened yet, the situation on King You’s side was still very unclear. Fighting for his life on the battlefield, contributing both effort and strategy, he had barely managed to get over three hundred Merit points.

Originally, as the player with the highest Merit in the Great Zhou, Guming Diaoyu had been very happy. But now, seeing the Merit ranking of the entire Huaxia nation, not a single smile appeared on his face.

If Guming Diaoyu had known that Mo Xiaobai’s two thousand plus Merit points were mostly exchanged directly with Territory grain without much effort at all, Guming Diaoyu would probably have been so angry that he died of depression.

Fortunately, he did not know this, so at this moment, Guming Diaoyu still had the idea of catching up to the top players.

At least, he could not let Daydreaming fall too far behind him.

…

In the Great Ming Dynasty Instance, the “Bozhou Campaign”.

Outside the Lou Shan Pass, just like Guming Diaoyu, Yang Yang Yang had complex feelings seeing Mo Xiaobai hold a huge lead and sit firmly at the top of the list.

However, compared to Mo Xiaobai, what surprised her even more was the second-place player, Du Diao Han Jiang. This was a player she had never heard of before, appearing out of nowhere like it sprouted from a crack in the rock.

“The Huaxia land truly hides dragons and tigers.”

She murmured quietly to herself, then stopped staring at the list. Her own Merit Value was not high at the moment, so she did not exchange for rewards yet. But deep down, Yang Yang Yang already had a goal, a goal that required at least four-digit Merit points to obtain.

At the same time, in the same location, just at a different direction.

Shangshan Ruoshui stood on a small hill, looking toward the distant fortress: “Old Sister, we can’t keep going like this. The Great Gods have already left us ten thousand eight thousand li behind.”

“What can we do? We don’t have any helpers around us, so grabbing Merit is naturally slower.”

“Then how did the Great Gods get over two thousand Merit points? Is the task in the Great Han Dynasty easier?” Shangshan Ruoshui turned down the corner of his mouth, feeling somewhat depressed as he scratched his head.

Beside him, a woman dressed in men’s clothing shook her head with a smile: “Easier? If it were easier, there would not be only one person on the list. Speaking of which, this Great Ming Instance is considered simple. Otherwise, how would you and that woman both make it onto the list?”

“I have nothing to say when I am overshadowed by the Great God. I am truly impressed by him. But that Yang Yang Yang, is she really that power ful?”

“She has Qin Liangyu by her side. Can you compare to that?”

“Oh, wait! I have Old Sister by my side too, please tell me, what should I do to earn Merit? My younger brother is so worried his hair has turned white.”

“The method is not non-existent, but we must meet the Main General first.”

“Really? Old Sister, just say it. Leave the rest to me!”

…

In the Great Shang Dynasty, Chaoge City.

In the vast Chaoge City, whether among the common people or the officials, the topic discussed the most recently had only been one:

The killing of Bi Gan!

As a member of the Great Shang royal family, no one had ever imagined that Bi Gan would be killed right at his doorstep on the fourth day after Emperor Xin marched east against the Dongyi tribes.

The Shang people could not imagine it. The Great Shang players who had just entered the Instance two days ago could not imagine it either.

But someone did it, and they did it cleanly and efficiently.

Outside the grand imperial palace hall, Du Diao Han Jiang also saw the freshly updated Merit Ranking List. Looking at the names ranked ahead of him, a smile appeared on his face.

His son really had talent. By simply offering a suggestion, he made his son the player with the highest Merit in the Great Shang Instance, while his son himself secured over two thousand Merit points, leading everyone by a wide margin.

For his son’s achievements, Mo Father did not have various schemes in his mind like Yang Yang Yang and others. He only felt full pride and happiness.

“That kid holds the top spot all by himself. As his father, I cannot fall too far behind. When I enter the hall later, I will give the Great Shang a nuclear explosion.”

Just as the thought floated into Mo Father’s mind, the voice of a Great Shang announcer came to his ears:

“Summoning, Du Diao Han Jiang, enter the hall!”

…

Just like the Great Ming, Great Shang, and Great Zhou, in the Dynasty Instances of the Great Qin, Great Tang, and Great Song, players were also watching the changes in the Merit List.

Daydreaming holding the top spot alone would make people envious, and it would also ignite the fighting spirit of some players.

At least, at this moment, every player qualified to be on the list was not willing to fall behind anyone.

They all wanted their ranking to be higher, some even wanting to replace Daydreaming at the top.

Mo Xiaobai naturally knew nothing about the thoughts of these players. After handing over all the grain, he left the storage camp with Li Ji and Li Guang.

Following Mo Xiaobai away from the camp, Li Ji opened his mouth to ask: “My Lord, where shall we go next?”

“For now, I have obtained the Colonel official position, so of course I must go find a superior to report.” Mo Xiaobai touched his chin. His gaze did not look at the Central Army tent, but locked onto the rear of the camp.

“Does My Lord want to go to the Rear Camp?”

“Hmm, let’s go check the situation first.”

Mo Xiaobai did not answer directly, but continued walking forward. Now that he had the identity of a Colonel, his official rank in the Cao Cao Faction was neither too high nor too low. While he could not go everywhere, most places were still open to him without obstruction.

Going all the way south to the Rear Camp of the Cao Army, the atmosphere here was relatively relaxed compared to the Front Camp and Central Army. But this relaxation was only superficial. When Mo Xiaobai arrived ten meters outside the Rear Camp, archers on the high watchtowers quickly aimed their bows at him.

“This is a secure area of the Rear Camp. Stop immediately!”

Three soldiers holding curved blades took two steps forward. One of them shouted lowly first, then, seeing the Colonel’s token Mo Xiaobai took out, he immediately bowed his fist:

“Respectfully greeting Colonel My Lord!”

“Go report to General Wang and say that a newly promoted Colonel has come to visit.” While Mo Xiaobai spoke, he waved the token in his hand and reached out to take the battle armor he had strapped to the horse.

He was about to meet the Main General of the Rear Camp, Wang Zhong, so he would definitely have to wear this Colonel equipment.
