Chapter 142: As White as His Name and Face

What was most important to the Mohist School was not the technological achievements shown in the end, but the process of putting words into action?

When Mo Xiaobai said these words, Bai Hualin suddenly had a moment of sudden clarity.

Yes!

Compared to the technologies that had already appeared in the world, of course, this guiding process of the Mohist School toward the common people was more important.

Without this process, wouldn’t it be like strangling more unknown technologies in their cradle?

“No wonder you are the number one player in the Plane. It’s not just about doing missions or running Instances; the most important thing is probably that Great God, your way of thinking has long led us ordinary Players.”

Bai Hualin now truly admired Mo Xiaobai. While all the Players were still wondering where to go for missions, where to find Instances, and how to upgrade their Territories, Great God had already looked at the whole of Huaxia.

If the Mohist School truly rose to power , the beneficiaries would surely not be just Great God, but all the Huaxia Players, and Great God’s rivals would certainly be among them.

But Mo Xiaobai showed no concern. From what he had just said, Bai Hualin could tell that the Great God before her did not want to keep the Mohist School like King Qin or King Chu.

So Great God did not say he would join Daming Village himself, but instead proposed an alliance?

An equal status, with no master-servant or superior-subordinate relationship.

If one of the kings from the Spring and Autumn or Warring States period had shown such high-level respect to the Mohist School, the Mohist School would not have fallen into decline like this, it was said.

Thinking of this, Bai Hualin asked subconsciously, “The things that King Chu and King Qin could not tolerate, Great God, why do you think you can do them? You actually don’t want to monopolize the Mohist School?”

“Not that I don’t want to, but I cannot. What King Chu and King Qin saw in their eyes was nothing more than the Central Plains, counting them as just those small states and less than one hundred million people.”

Mo Xiaobai shook his head and pouted, “Do you know how much trouble we have now? If Huaxia is to rise in the Plane, think about how many hostile obstacles we will face. Just dealing with matters in the Plane is headache enough, not to mention our Water Blue Star.”

“No matter how good the Plane is, we must eventually go home. Water Blue Star is our home. Do you really think the Will of the Universe brought us into the Plane just so we could experience ancient civilization? The Intellect Brain has tricked Players more than once or twice. How could the Will of the Universe have such kindness?”

“We Players have too many troubles to deal with. If we don’t seize every chance to improve our strength, we don’t even know if we can live ten more years. Even if I become a true Great Lord in the future, in front of the Will of the Universe that created the Plane, I am still just a slightly stronger ant.”

“Keeping these thoughts to myself is meaningless, so I proposed an alliance and told you how important the Mohist School is. Just as I once told your master, I need Allies like the Mohist School. At the same time, the Huaxia Region also needs the Mohist School to return. This is the trend of the times, and someone must do it.”

The return of the Mohist School, the trend of the times!

Seeing Mo Xiaobai speak so firmly, Bai Hualin did not look very happy on her face, but instead looked a bit troubled. “Spreading these good points of the Mohist School is certainly a good thing, but the ‘Universal Love’ theory is right there. No matter what I do, it will all be useless effort in the end, right?”

“That is what you have to consider. Since you cannot keep up with the times, even if it is the core theory, it must be changed if it needs to. As for how to change it or what to use as a substitute, I certainly do not know; you must think of it yourself.”

Mo Xiaobai shrugged again and then said, “But don’t rush. The inheritance mission of the Mohist School will not be easy to complete; it might not even be done in one or two years, so you have plenty of time to think. Now you need to give me an answer: do you or do you not want to form an alliance with Daming Village?”

After going in circles, they had returned to the original topic.

An alliance!

Mo Xiaobai asked again. A-Dai immediately nodded and stated, “I have no problem. After all, it is good to find shade under a big tree. Although this idea is very pragmatic, I truly value actual benefits. Forming an alliance with Daming Village brings me hundred benefits and no harm. We can cooperate in many more aspects.”

Since A-Dai said so, Mo Xiaobai immediately nodded with a smile.

For things like an alliance, of course, one only needs it if it is beneficial to oneself. If you formed an alliance only to find yourself surrounded by dead weight, who would still willingly form an alliance?

Stop joking. Mo Xiaobai himself would never forge such an alliance.

A-Dai’s words seemed pragmatic, but Mo Xiaobai felt even more at ease. He knew too well about how to develop Mercenaries and their flaws; those years of being a back-alley trader meant he had contacted too many Mercenary organizations.

Mo Xiaobai was confident that he could take A-Dai with him to fly high. In the future, if A-Dai betrayed him, it would not be because he thought this ship was not flying fast enough, but because it was flying too high and he was afraid of falling to death.

As long as you bind him tightly to give him a sense of security, such an Ally can be very reliable.

A-Dai nodded his consent readily, but Bai Hualin blinked her eyes: “Um, Great God, can I ask you a question?”

“Speak.”

“If I am not willing, what will you do?”

Not willing?

Hearing Bai Hualin ask this, Mo Xiaobai turned over his left hand, which was pressing on the table, with a faint smile. “You can try to see.”

In the palm of Mo Xiaobai’s left hand, there was clearly a small bottle.

“A sedative? Great God, do you want to use it on me?”

“Knocking you out is just the first step. After that, I will kill you and make you Respawn in Juancheng. When you walk out of the Respawn Point, you will see the soldiers I notified beforehand. The chance of escaping is less than five percent. When you are caught and thrown into prison, I can easily enter the prison in my capacity as a Baron and kill you again. Your sword will definitely drop. Without the Zhanlu Sword, you are just a Player who got a little lucky.”

Mo Xiaobai played with the porcelain bottle in his hand, still wearing that smile on his face. His eyes gazed at Bai Hualin, as if asking whether she really wanted to try.

“Hah~ Since Great God says that, I feel relieved.”

Bai Hualin did not avoid looking into Mo Xiaobai’s eyes; instead, she let out a sigh of relief. “Earlier you first promised that I could go to Daming Village, then brought me to run an Instance, and explained the importance of the Mohist School to me. You even invited me to join the Alliance. I had to wonder if Great God had other ideas. Now I know the answer. We are just ordinary Allies, like company colleagues, right?”

“Yes, just Allies. We do not interfere with each other’s private spaces.”

Seeing Mo Xiaobai confirm it again, Bai Hualin nodded and exhaled. “Phew~ That makes things easier. Honestly, Great God, it’s not that you aren’t handsome. It’s just that there’s a bit… um, you are too white. From your face to your name, you are too white. That is not my type, This Heroine.”

“This Heroine currently prefers someone like my Shigong: handsome, majestic, powerful, and otherworldly. Master and Shigong together are really a perfect match. I envy them to death.”

“Heh~ Your standards for choosing a partner are really high. Taking Li Jing as a template, among all the General forces in Huaxia, the only one who can completely dominate him is the Martial Sage Jiang Shang. You don’t like an old man with a young girl, do you?”

“Pah! It is you who likes an old cow eating tender grass. I just don’t know yet; I want to play for a few more years. But I don’t like a pretty boy, and that will never change. Great God, give up!”
