Chapter 131: Guo Jia and Liu Ye’s Test

“Please do not worry, My Lord. I will follow your instructions on this trip.” When Mo Xiaobai asked Gao Lan to return to Guandu, Gao Lan was startled for a moment, but he quickly bowed his fists and agreed.

As soon as Gao Lan nodded, Mo Xiaobai immediately turned to look at the nearby Village Soldiers: “You must obey General Gao’s orders on this trip and never disobey his commands.”

“Yes!”

The ten Village Soldiers were no longer the clueless villagers they once were. They knew to follow military laws in the army, so they agreed in unison.

Seeing that they were ready, Mo Xiaobai silently whispered in his mind, “Instance Space open.”

In the next second, a light of teleportation appeared before him.

There was a “whoosh” sound, and Gao Lan and the others disappeared from Mo Xiaobai’s sight.

“This reopened Instance has no death penalty, so there is no need to worry too much about safety. It depends on whether they can return immediately.”

Watching the fading teleportation light close, Mo Xiaobai could guess that Gao Lan and the others probably could not return right away. After waiting for about one or two minutes without seeing the Village Soldiers return to Daming Village, he could basically conclude that the teleportation channel would be temporarily closed before the Instance ended.

The Instance Space that Gao Lan and the others were currently experiencing would not affect the outside world’s space and time, so it could be considered a true independent space.

The only thing that was still uncertain was whether things inside the Instance Space could be taken out.

If they could, he would make a huge profit. After all, there were simply too many resource points in the Great Han’s thirteen provinces.

“When Gao Lan and the others return, they will know the answer.” A hint of anticipation flashed in Mo Xiaobai’s mind, and he happily walked back to the Baron’s Manor.

The second practical effect of the Spacetime Star Disc had finally been discovered by him. As he experienced more Instances in the future, the effect of the second star grain would become even greater.

Returning to the manor with a bit of joy, Mo Xiaobai had just entered the backyard when he heard his mother’s voice: “You went out in a rush early this morning, and now you come back with a silly smile. Did you find some gold?”

“Haha~ No gold, but the things I found are more important than gold.” Mo Xiaobai laughed and walked over: “Mom, why are you making breakfast yourself today? Isn’t Cheng Liya here?”

“Stop making a grown man cook for you. It is too much trouble to ask others.”

Mother Mo was not used to a life of being served. She brought out two bowls of noodles to the nearby pavilion: “Is it because you have grown up and become a Lord that you find my cooking not up to par?”

“How could that be? Your skills have improved greatly. You are almost as good at cooking as Dad, who has been cooking all his life.”

“That’s right. I learned several new techniques from her. Eat first. I will go wake up your sister.”

“Okay.”

After Mo Xiaoyou got up and washed, the family sat in the pavilion to eat breakfast. Guo Jia and Liu Ye also walked out of the Guest Rooms in the manor.

Guo Jia had not drunk much the night before, so he got up now only because he felt lazy and tired. Liu Ye and the others had drunk a little too much, so even when they woke up early in the morning, they still smelled of alcohol all over.

By the time this group finished their leisurely washing and eating, it was already eleven o’clock in the morning. It looked like they would not need another lunch.

As usual, Mo Xiaobai handed Little Dot over to Hu Zhao, then led Guo Jia and Liu Ye to the Projection Hall.

As true Scholars from the End of Han, whether it was Guo Jia or Liu Ye, they were filled with deep surprise and wonder upon first seeing the glowing Forum screen.

“My Lord, what is this thing?”

“This is a Forum where many people can post all kinds of opinions.”

Regarding the explanation of the “Projection Hall” and the “Forum”, Mo Xiaobai could only explain it in a way Guo Jia and the others could understand: “For example, not eighty li from Daming Village, there is another Territory. If the Lord of that Territory writes something on here, we can see it clearly from far away in Daming Village. And as soon as he writes it, we can see it. The time between his writing and our seeing it will not exceed a single breath.”

Guo Jia and Liu Ye listened from the side without rushing to ask further questions.

Both of them were men of strategy, and right now they were listening carefully to Mo Xiaobai’s explanation.

“The place where we are now is the Great Han Dynasty, one of the seven dynasties of Huaxia. Its location is somewhat similar to the Yan Province you are familiar with. To the north of this Territory is the vast Daye Marsh, and to the south is Dang Mountain. These two places are probably not unfamiliar to Fengxiao and Ziyang, but the Dang Mountain and Daye Marsh here are huge mountainous regions formed after being magnified one hundred times.”

After explaining the geographical location, Mo Xiaobai finally looked at Guo Jia: “Fengxiao once managed the Xiaoshi department, so you should know the importance of intelligence. In the area around this great Daye Marsh and Dang Mountain, there are hundreds or even thousands of Territories similar to Daming Village. Currently, I know very little about them, and I urgently need Fengxiao to explore their intelligence for me.”

“In addition to the many Territorial lords gathering in this area, there are also many resource points. For example, there are mineral deposits, wild rare plants, medicinal herbs, and even heavenly treasures. This information is also very important and is what Daming Village must master in detail.”

“For now, let us not worry about things outside the Great Han Dynasty. Let us focus on summarizing all kinds of information in the Dang Mountain and Daye Marsh area. For example, just like this post, come and take a look.”

While explaining, Mo Xiaobai flipped through the Forum. Relying on memories from his previous life, he quickly found several sub-forums where Dang Mountain Players often appeared. At that moment, a post was hanging at the very top of the sub-forum.

The post was not pinned at the top by a moderator because it was too hot, with players replying almost every two or three seconds.

“Looking to spend money for a reply! Asking reliable Great Gods for an explanation!”

As the saying goes, “Spending money leads to popularity.” No matter what the content was, at least this clickbait title was quite successful.

Clicking on the post and glancing at the content, Mo Xiaobai understood it immediately. However, Guo Jia and Liu Ye found it hard to understand because the way Players spoke was a bit… incomprehensible to them.

Mo Xiaobai was not surprised at all, after all, Players were used to posting all kinds of symbol emojis in their posts, and sometimes it really did look annoying.

“The content of this post is actually very simple. Have you seen the picture he posted? This is the newly opened ‘Photo’ function of the Forum, which can clearly take pictures of a specific person or item.”

“The Lord who posted this is located north of the Daye Marsh. He wants to know what the thing in the picture is, so he posted to ask others for help. Of course, this help is not free. He wrote clearly on the post that once the answer is verified to be correct, he can trade 50 Silver Coins face-to-face.”

“For information like this, we must record it, figure out exactly what the thing in the picture is, what it is used for, and whether it will be connected to other things.”

Mo Xiaobai actually knew what the clover drawn in the picture was, but he did not give the answer directly. This thing could be considered relatively easy intelligence information to collect, so it was perfect for Guo Jia and Liu Ye to practice with.

If the two of them could analyze the true answer they wanted within half a month by looking at this picture, then the big data processing center that had not yet officially been established could be safely handed over to Guo Jia and Liu Ye.

On the other hand, if they failed, they would have to continue to grind and test until one day in the future they succeeded.
