Chapter 31: Seeking Fame and Profit

The supply shopping was finished, and Mo Xiaobai walked out of the Market satisfied.

As soon as he came out, he saw the pale-faced He Chun standing outside, who seemed to have been there for a while.

“Huh? Is Jianli looking for me?”

Jianli was He Chun’s courtesy name.

Hearing Mo Xiaobai speak, He Chun quickly bowed with fists: “My Lord, my wounds have healed, and I am now able to serve you.”

“Oh? Did you just get too bored here?”

Mo Xiaobai heard this and chuckled, not rushing to assign He Chun a task. Instead, he walked around the village with him: “From Jianli’s perspective, how is Daming Village?”

“It is a hundred times better than Eagle Beak Mountain.”

He Chun gave the answer readily. After coming here, he indeed realized that compared to this vast valley, his Eagle Beak Mountain, which looked like a corner of a mountain, was truly nothing to mention.

Although Daming Village currently had only a few hundred people, there was no problem with it growing stronger day by day. It was unlike when he managed Eagle Beak Mountain, where he worried about food and clothes all day and had to worry about his future.

“The territory is indeed good, but if it cannot withstand power ful enemies from outside, even the best territory is just like passing clouds and smoke.” Mo Xiaobai spoke softly, and his words struck He Chun right in the heart.

“If Jianli is willing, would you be able to enter the Drill Ground to train the Village Soldiers and lead them to guard Daming Village?”

“My Lord gives the order; Chun shall certainly serve.” He Chun bowed and agreed, but after speaking, his lips moved slightly, as if he wanted to say something more but didn’t know how to start.

Seeing He Chun’s expression, Mo Xiaobai immediately guessed what the guy was thinking: “Jianli wants to tell me about your fierce soldier brothers, right? I have no taboos there. If anyone among them still wants to join the army, Jianli can transfer them to the Drill Ground to take orders from you.”

“Yes!” Hearing Mo Xiaobai’s promise, He Chun’s response became much more determined.

Mo Xiaobai saw this and showed approval on his face: “Train the Village Soldiers well. In the future, Maogong will be your commander, responsible for all military strategy in the territory. You, on the other hand, will be the first War General of Daming Village. I hope Jianli will not let down my expectations and Maogong’s, and will train a batch of elite soldiers like you.”

“This subordinate will surely not fail to fulfill My Lord’s trust.”

As He Chun finished speaking, Mo Xiaobai heard a notification from his Intellect Brain:

“Beep~ Because the Lord Player ‘Daydreaming’ shows trust in his subordinates, He Chun’s Loyalty increased by 5 points.”

“He Chun!”

“Courtesy name: Jianli!”

“Position: None!”

“Qualification: A”

“Class Transfer: Flying Cavalry General!”

“Attributes: Command [72]; Combat [87]; Administration [47]; Wisdom [58]; Virtue [71]”

“Exclusive Characteristics: Rapid Flying Strike [During combat, unit movement speed increases by 84%, and penetration increases by 79%]; Brave and Fearless [During combat, all negative effects on the unit are reduced by 68%, and cohesion increases by 57%]”

“Private Items: 31 Silver; Bright Silver Lance; Decorated Bow; Refined Iron Sword.”

“Loyalty: 89”

“Introduction: He Chun’s mother is Lady Xiahou, possessing the bloodline of Xiahou Ying of the Western Han and Xiahou Yuan of the Eastern Han. He Chun understood his ancestral bloodline due to a chance encounter, and his strength entered the top tier of the world as a semi-classified powerhouse.”

Compared to Li Ji and the Dong sisters, He Chun’s personal attribute panel was not that dazzling. Even with the 10% bonus from Mo Xiaobai’s “Civil and Military Rule” talent, only his Combat value broke through 80.

However, this would not become a reason for Mo Xiaobai to underestimate him. At least in Mo Xiaobai’s view, the young general before him was worth cultivating. For no other reason, He Chun’s “Brave and Fearless” talent was enough to show that although He Chun looked pale and weak, he absolutely had a heart of steel.

After being reborn, Mo Xiaobai could not guarantee that everything in the future would go smoothly, but having a subordinate like He Chun who could fight for hope in adversity would make anyone feel at ease.

Furthermore, judging from the current situation of Daming Village, He Chun was truly the second great general. If taking into account that Li Ji still had to divide his attention to build the territory, then He Chun was the most suitable choice for the Drill Ground general.

Hmm, indeed, Maogong could be pulled out of the Drill Ground for now.

Letting He Chun be in charge of training the Village Soldiers was also a kind of exercise for him.

After making up his mind, Mo Xiaobai told He Chun to go ask his old comrades’ opinions first, but he did not need to enter the Drill Ground to train immediately. Mo Xiaobai still hoped to finish the territory’s basic construction well within these two days.

As soon as He Chun left, Mo Xiaobai suddenly realized that he actually had nothing to do again.

The Dong sisters: one was measuring the layout of the medicine garden, and the other was playing with her Panda Hamster; Li Ji was directing the villagers to carry out large-scale territory construction, while He Chun went to help out and do his own things.

In the entire territory, everyone had something to do, except Mo Xiaobai, who scratched his head and wandered back to the Lord’s Manor.

Having nothing else to do, Mo Xiaobai simply sat at the entrance of the Manor and scrolled through the channel and the Forum.

From the moment the Plane opened until today, it had been ten days and a half.

Unlike the time when the Forum first appeared and only Mo Xiaobai posted the pinned thread, the posts in the Forum now were all sorts of various things.

The current Plane Forum was truly the Global Forum of the Water Blue Star.

Scanning the popular posts on the homepage of the Forum, he saw the post released by “Four-Three-Two-One” regarding the “World’s Most Pitiful” Trial, which was no surprise.

Regarding this, Mo Xiaobai just smiled without browsing, since he had seen the post in his previous life, and the content held no novelty for him.

Scrolling down from the hot posts, a post signed by “Guming Diaoyu” made Mo Xiaobai pause slightly.

“Two gangs destroyed in three days; Daoist Famous Scholar ‘Zhuangzi’ moves into Domineering Village.”

The title of the post was sure to grab plenty of attention!

In an era where most Black Iron territories could hardly stop bandit raids and even Bronze territories resisted badly, someone who could destroy two bandit gangs in a row was definitely an existence looked up to by over ninety percent of players.

Not to mention the fact that it involved one of the “Old Zhuang,” Zhuangzi.

What kind of existence was Zhuangzi?

People from other countries might not know, but would a Huaxia Person not know?

In the entire Daoist School, besides Laozi, who else could stand shoulder to shoulder with Zhuang Zhou?

A proper top Famous Scholar of Huaxia!

“Guming Diaoyu, it turns out he finally bumped into Zhuangzi?” After opening the post and glancing at the content, Mo Xiaobai found it was not much different from his memory of the previous life.

Guming Diaoyu, a Lord of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

A man with huge ambition, his Domineering Village was located near Mo Xiaobai’s mother’s territory.

Although his mother avoided the bandit raid this time and seemingly should thank him, Mo Xiaobai felt no gratitude at all and instead frowned even deeper.

In the previous life, Guming Diaoyu’s Domineering Village and the “Seven Heroes Alliance” he led were the tormentors for most Lord Players. This group, taking advantage of their early lead, forcibly snatched all the benefits they could get, leaving no opportunity for outsiders to share a piece of the pie.

If that was all, Mo Xiaobai might have felt a little jealousy in his previous life, but it would not affect his mood in this life. The real reason Mo Xiaobai felt uncomfortable with this person was the behavior of the Seven Heroes Alliance in the first global Instance.

For their own interests, they actually sold out other Huaxia Players to enemy faction forces from other countries.

After that transaction was exposed, many Huaxia Players finally saw through the mask of Guming Diaoyu and the Seven Heroes Alliance. However, at that time, the Seven Heroes Alliance already dominated the Huaxia Region. Ordinary players like Mo Xiaobai, no matter how angry they were, could do nothing.

“Guming Diaoyu, Seven Heroes Alliance.”

“In this life, let me play with you properly!”
