Chapter 166: Stirring Up the Great Han Noble Families

The Lost.

In his past life, he was one of the Seven Heroes that Mo Xiaobai only heard the name of, but never saw the person.

“You are The Lost?”

Mo Xiaobai looked the man up and down with a playful expression and smiled, “Do you know your NPC boss sold you out?”

Standing right in front of Mo Xiaobai was clearly the person who had followed Wei Bing at the auction hall earlier.

Hearing what Mo Xiaobai said, The Lost frowned, “I don’t understand what you are talking about?”

Ha!

These two are really interesting.

They both speak in the same tone.

Mo Xiaobai rubbed his right palm and pouted, “If he didn’t tell me, how would I know there was a Player following him? Wei Bing admitted he wanted to steal our Village Brewer. However, to save his own life, he told me that you were the one who suggested it. You told him to come to the Yi Family to get Lingzhi Wine.”

“You are quite clever. By the way, do you know where this is now?”

“I know. You are Daydreaming.”

Figuring out this was Daming Village was no big deal for The Lost. To start with, the Elite Soldiers outside the Territory and the high stone walls of the pass were not something a Village Level 1 or Level 2 Lord Player could possess.

Right now, across the entire Plane, there was only one Village Level 3 Player Territory.

If it wasn’t Daming Village, where else could it be!

“Good that you know it. You are also a smart man, you should understand how important a Territory is for a Player. Since you were plotting against the Daming Village Brewer and now you have been caught by me, I have no reason to let you walk out of here alive.”

Mo Xiaobai nodded slightly and spoke, “Considering we are both Players, I can give you a warning. NPCs are not easy to deal with, especially a family like the Wei Family. If you have nothing else to say, I will send you for a Respawn. Whether you go to the Forum to badmouth me after you Respawn is your own business. Do whatever you want.”

After saying this, Mo Xiaobai signaled He Chun to attack.

The Lost had no intention of resisting. Since he was caught that day, he knew things were going to go badly. But for now, he had not developed much himself, at best he had only won Wei Bing’s trust.

However, this kind of trust was unreliable in times of crisis. Seeing the true face of the Wei Family and the death penalty that wipes everything clean made the Respawn penalty feel not so bad to The Lost.

“Whoosh~”

He Chun was very efficient at killing. With a white knife coming in and a red knife going out, one slash was enough to kill The Lost.

In the next second, some Items floated up above The Lost’s body.

These were all things from The Lost’s Player Backpack, such as some scattered Silver Coins, miscellaneous items, and a “Technical Blueprint”.

“Free ‘Exquisite Carving Craft’ Technical Blueprint. Although it’s not a Specialty, it is a good type of porcelain craft. It can be sold for four or five Gold Coins even a year from now.”

Mo Xiaobai collected everything The Lost dropped after he died, then continued, “Jianli, drag this guy’s body outside. By the way, check if those six families have finished writing their letters.”

“Okay!”

He Chun took the body out of the main tent. At the same time, at the Respawn Point in Linzi City, Qing Province, The Lost walked out of the Respawn Altar with a gloomy face. His level and items were all wiped clean after death.

“What a Wei Family!”

“And Daydreaming!”

“You both wait for me!”

Being killed by Daydreaming made The Lost feel unwilling, but being sold out by Wei Bing, which caused Mo Xiaobai to expose his Player identity, made him hate the Wei Family.

The Lost asked himself that he had never dealt with Daydreaming before. The only reason his Player identity was exposed was that Wei Bing told it voluntarily. In his view, if Wei Bing had not spoken, he would have a high chance of walking out of Daming Village alive by disguising himself as Wei Bing’s servant, even if Wei Bing hadn’t died.

Now he was dead, and this score must be settled with the Wei Family first.

The Lost did not know Mo Xiaobai’s background, nor did he know that Mo Xiaobai already knew his Daimyo and understood his character of keeping every grudge.

…

“Fengxiao, there is something I need you to do.”

Leaving the Drill Ground, Mo Xiaobai brought six written family letters to the Projection Hall. “Do you know Maogong captured those young men from the Noble Families a few days ago? These are their letters. I need you to forge them into six identical copies and send them to these six families separately. Also, you can stretch your ears and eyes a bit further and keep an eye on these families’ movements. You might see a good show.”

Guo Jia took the so-called family letters from Mo Xiaobai. After glancing at them casually, the expression in his eyes also became strange.

He could be sure this was another creation of his Lord.

“Is My Lord trying to stir up all the Great Han Noble Families?”

Holding the items in his hand, Guo Jia believed that once these letters were sent out and there were no more dirty secrets between those families, not only these six families would be in chaos, but many other Noble Families would also be affected.

“If they don’t stir up, how can Daming Village extend its reach into the Prefecture City?”

Mo Xiaobai felt no guilt for this stroke of genius at all. Instead, he thought it was very good. These were all good things done by those so-called Noble Families and magnates. He was just taking this opportunity to blow the whistle first.

Reborn, Mo Xiaobai strongly agreed with one concept from his past life.

Only when you stir up the water between NPCs can Players profit from it.

“Jia understands. I will do as My Lord ordered.”

Taking the letters, Guo Jia nodded silently.

He was not a person with moral obsession. Furthermore, his Lord was at most just pushing the wave forward. If it benefited Daming Village, why not do it?

After leaving the layout of the Great Han Dynasty NPC Noble Families to Guo Jia, Mo Xiaobai patted his butt and left the Projection Hall. He first took the Technical Blueprint to the Kiln, then turned to the Academy to see Cai Heng who just reported, and also checked on Little Dot who was having class on the other side.

Leaving the Academy classroom, Mo Xiaobai was just about to go see how Zheng Xuan was recovering after his illness when a thunderclap suddenly exploded in the high sky of the Territory.

The Plane Announcement, which had not appeared for a long time, instantly spread across the entire Plane:

“Plane Announcement~ Due to the improvement of Player strength, the number of Village Level 2 Territories has reached 50 million. The Plane World will undergo its first adjustment update. This update will temporarily close the Plane Projection Channel. Please all Players prepare to go offline. The countdown to close the channel begins: 10, 9, 8…”

The Plane Announcement appeared again.

And it was an update announcement.

Hundreds of millions of Players were completely clueless about the situation, but Mo Xiaobai took a deep breath.

What had to come, eventually came.

Perhaps because of himself, the progression of this Plane moved much faster than in his past life.

“Intellect Brain, I want to go offline!”

Before the short ten-second countdown finished, Mo Xiaobai went offline and left the Plane voluntarily.

“Whoosh”, he appeared in the bedroom he had not seen for a long time.

Looking at the dust on the desk, Mo Xiaobai had just pushed open the door when he heard his mother’s voice, “Son, son, what is happening? Why did it force us to go offline suddenly? Is the Plane going to update?”
