Chapter 18: Promoting the Territory

“If Miss Dong speaks, how could I possibly disappoint you?”

Mo Xiaobai thought to himself that this was exactly the question he had been waiting for, and he laughed heartily: “Not only can I handle the hundred or so people in the current camp, but even if there were a hundred more mouths, our Daming Village would still manage it easily.”

If this were his past life, Mo Xiaobai would never have dared to make such a bold promise.

But Mo Xiaobai was reborn, and he was reborn with a Spacetime Star Disc. Currently, the Territory indeed lacked some supplies, but what it definitely did not lack was food.

The rice fields refreshed every day, so feeding a few hundred people was not a problem at all.

“Good.”

Hearing this, Miss Dong nodded, then looked at the young Chief on the bed: “Take your brothers and their families to Daming Village. I will treat your wounds for you. The White Lord will take care of you in the future, so you don’t need to turn mountain robber anymore.”

“Daming Village? The White Lord?”

After hearing this, the young Chief naturally turned his gaze toward Mo Xiaobai. He had not known Mo Xiaobai’s identity before, but now he finally understood.

Looking at the relationship between Mo Xiaobai and the person behind him, it seemed that the so-called Daming Village would not be simple.

“If I were you, I would not refuse Miss Dong’s kind offer. Eagle Beak Mountain is not particularly dangerous, there are only a few dozen healthy robbers. Moreover, apart from you, everyone else is just ordinary.”

Mo Xiaobai knew he needed to add some fuel to the fire, so he immediately said: “If you want to keep them alive, you will have to keep going down the mountain to plunder again and again. However, this will inevitably cause bad relations with other robber camps. Perhaps you can survive once or twice, but if you do it too many times, your brothers will suffer heavy losses, and the camp will become empty. The remaining old and weak people will almost not be able to survive.”

“If you want the brothers and families in the camp to live well, you should agree to join my Daming Village. Of course, since you know nothing about Daming Village, you certainly do not trust me. How about this? Miss Dong will stay here to treat your wounds, and I will take your trusted brothers to take a look. I will also make arrangements for their settlement. When I return after I am ready, your brothers can discuss the relocation matters.”

“Also, no matter if you agree to relocate or not, you cannot continue being mountain robbers. Otherwise, saving you would be in vain, and it would be better not to save you.”

After Mo Xiaobai finished speaking, he took another 2 gold coins from his personal funds and handed them to Li Ji: “Maogong, please stay for now. You can help a little, whether much or little. To save someone, medicine is definitely needed. It is too inconvenient to gather herbs directly. Just send someone to Prefecture City to buy them. Remember to use the best medicine. Make sure he recovers as soon as possible, so that when I return in a few days, he is not still unable to get out of bed, which would delay the camp’s relocation.”

…

Two days later, Daming Village.

It took five days to go and come back. Mo Xiaobai finally returned to his Territory.

“Uncle Liu, how has the village been recently?” Meeting the Liu brothers who were on patrol at the village entrance, Mo Xiaobai asked with a smile.

In fact, Mo Xiaobai could see everything that changed in the village clearly through his Lord Attribute panel. He only asked now just to hear the villagers’ opinions.

Liu Han clasped his fists and answered honestly: “To inform you, My Lord, a few more Refugees have arrived in the village in the past two days. Following your instructions before you left, we let them all stay. We share meals, shelter, and labor with them.”

“Alright, continue your patrol.”

Mo Xiaobai knew asking further would yield no new information, so he waved his hand and walked into the village.

As soon as he entered the village, Mo Xiaobai heard a surprised voice from beside him: “Is this your Territory? What a large piece of land! Is it all yours alone?”

“That’s right, I am the Lord of this place. Miss Yiyi, how is my Territory?”

“Ha~ It’s not as good as Prefecture City, but… it’s not bad.”

Although Li Ji had not returned with Mo Xiaobai, the sword-wielding girl, who loved to have fun, volunteered to come to Daming Village to “inspect” the place.

Seeing a large patch of rice in the distance, the girl ran over enthusiastically.

Mo Xiaobai did not stop her and turned to look at Ma Laoliu and the others who came with him: “You all go look around. If you are thirsty or hungry, just tell the villagers. They will treat you.”

Mo Xiaobai was not unwilling to entertain Ma Laoliu and the group personally, but he had more important things to do at this moment.

After entrusting Ma Laoliu and the others to two villagers, Mo Xiaobai immediately rushed to the village Market. After opening the trading panel, he glanced at the trading information on it and immediately began to purchase crazily.

“50 units of wood, the unit price is only 4 copper coins. It’s so cheap. Buying!”

“20 units of stone, the unit price is only 6 copper coins? Buy, buy, buy!”

“Still no grain trading? Right, most Players have been in the Plane for about a week now. The number of Lords lacking food will only keep increasing. Hmm, wood again. The price is truly affordable. Not buying would be too unfair to myself.”

“Hey~ Someone is actually selling Iron Ore? 30 copper coins per unit? It’s not finished iron, but the price is fair. Buy it, buy it. Besides, we are not short of money.”

“200 units of stone. Which nearby Lord is clearing out stock? Never mind, buy it first.”

“Buy, buy, buy. All basic materials come to my bowl…”

Relying on the dozens of gold coins in his hand, which converted to hundreds of thousands of copper coins, Mo Xiaobai began a frantic sweep of the Market.

In just ten minutes, the stone (6 copper coins per unit), wood (4 copper coins per unit), and Iron Ore (30 copper coins per unit) were all swept up by Mo Xiaobai.

Even so, Mo Xiaobai’s funds had not shrunk much; the total spending was less than 8 gold coins.

After the shopping was finished, Mo Xiaobai immediately communicated with the Intellect Brain: “I want to upgrade the Territory.”

“Beep~ Starting to detect Player ‘Daydreaming’s’ Territory ‘Daming Village’.”

“Population: 100/100, meets upgrade conditions.”

“Stone: 2057 units, Wood: 2140 units, meets upgrade conditions.”

“Populace Sentiment: 88, meets upgrade conditions.”

“Lord’s Renown: 550, meets upgrade conditions.”

“Territory’s Fame: 155, meets upgrade conditions.”

“Beep~ After detection, Daming Village meets the upgrade conditions. Do you want to upgrade?”

…

“Great Han Dynasty Announcement~ Congratulations to Player ‘Daydreaming’ for his unremitting efforts to successfully upgrade his Territory ‘Daming Village’. ‘Daming Village’ has been promoted to a Level 2 Village, becoming the first Level 2 Village in the Dynasty. Hereby rewarding 10 gold coins and 1 random special Territory Building blueprint.”

“Great Han Dynasty Announcement~ Congratulations to Player ‘Daydreaming’ for his unremitting efforts to successfully upgrade his Territory ‘Daming Village’. ‘Daming Village’ has been promoted to a Level 2 Village, becoming the first Level 2 Village in the Dynasty. Hereby rewarding 10 gold coins and 1 random special Territory Building blueprint.”

“Great Han Dynasty Announcement…”

Once these consecutive Dynasty announcements rang out, it immediately made the Players of the Great Han Dynasty look up at the sky.

Did they hear that correctly?

Someone actually upgraded their Territory level so quickly?

What on earth is Daming Village?

We never heard of it before!

At the same time, the Great Han Dynasty Player Channel instantly exploded.

“Who is this Great God ‘Daydreaming’? He actually has the qualifications to upgrade his Territory?”

“He is a Lord of our Great Han, confetti~ cute~ and please adopt this Great God by the way~”

“‘Daydreaming’. As soon as you hear the name, it sounds magnificent and powerful. He must be a super Great God.”

“I, Zhao Duitian, refuse to accept this. Upgrading requires at least 1000 wood and 1000 stone. Where did he get these resources?”

“What’s the point of resources? 100 Renown and 120 Fame are the unbeatable difficulties. How do you increase Renown and Fame? I am still at the starting 1 Renown and 100 Fame.”

“Same starting point, also seeking the answer~”

“Great God ‘Daydreaming’, this humble servant requests a warm bed~”
