Chapter 35: A Face-to-Face with Four-Three-Two-One

“Another Huaxia Person!”

“Shouldn’t his village have been destroyed by the bandits?”

“Gods, he started far ahead of all of us. What are we supposed to do now?”

“He must have found a loophole. Can this Plane accept complaints?”

“The existence of this Huaxia Person will destroy the balance. We need to boycott him on the Forum.”

In the player channel for the Eternal Sun Empire region, unlike the excited Huaxia players, every message sent here was filled with deep resentment.

They could not understand why, in this Plane world, the one leading other players would be a Huaxia Person instead of the English person they considered the most noble in their hearts.

“Is that Huaxia Person using ancient Huaxia magic?”

“Did he confuse the Plane Intellect Brain to let it cheat for him?”

In Britain Village, Two Smoking Guns no longer looked as confident as when they first entered the Plane. Although his Territory had survived this bandit retaliation sweep, the entire village had become incredibly ruined.

Even though he had been trying hard to fix things these past two days, a part of the villagers still went to bed with empty stomachs.

Seeing the Territory Populace Sentiment drop again and again, Two Smoking Guns scratched his forehead irritably. After a moment, he steeled his resolve and gathered all the remaining Territory Citizens within his domain.

He had decided to do something huge!

…

“Shining Sun God above, another rival for us has appeared in Huaxia.”

“The existence of this person will seriously affect the interests of Wa People players.”

“We can smear him on the Forum and accuse him of finding a Plane loophole without sharing it.”

“Yes, that’s exactly what we should do!”

“The final victory must belong to us Wa People!”

…

“Such a miracle person has started a new trend once again.”

“Perhaps we can try to contact him on the Forum. This Huaxia Person will surely be very interested in cooperating with us, American Federation players.”

“However, his figure is almost never seen in the Forum.”

“Impossible. No high-level Player in this Plane would avoid entering the Forum. We can definitely find him.”

…

The whole world was in turmoil because of Mo Xiaobai’s noble title, but Mo Xiaobai, who was at the center of the storm, calmed down quickly after a brief period of excitement.

Now, when Mo Xiaobai looked at Zhou Bo standing before him, he suddenly understood. No wonder the Chief Clerk had given him the Specialty token; he had clearly seen from before that Mo Xiaobai’s Prestige Value would soon allow him to receive a noble title.

“Zhou Bo is here to congratulate Baron Bai Ri.”

The Chief Clerk bowed with a smiling face. Although his status did not require him to flatter the lowest rank of Baron, Mo Xiaobai’s Player identity was enough to make him treat him with special respect.

If not for that, he would never have so easily given away the real reward for wiping out the bandits.

As expected, they are all smart people!

Mo Xiaobai sighed inwardly, nodded with a smile, and did not return the bow in detail.

The Chief Clerk intentionally wanted to make friends, which was a hidden benefit brought by the actual increase in Renown. Mo Xiaobai also hoped to get along well with this “second-in-command” of Prefecture City, so he certainly could not stay cold and act cool.

However, even though both sides were willing to make friends, Mo Xiaobai still chose to take his leave. He would leave a good impression for today, and it would not be too late to have a long talk with this Chief Clerk once he was truly ready.

Leaving the Prefectural Governor’s Residence, whether it was the minor officials seeing Mo Xiaobai off along the road or the guards standing outside, the look in their eyes toward Mo Xiaobai had changed obviously.

Especially the guard who had just received Mo Xiaobai’s Silver Coin; the smile on his face was completely forced.

At this moment, he wanted to find a place and cry.

If he had known that this gentleman was about to receive a noble title, where would he have gone to ask for that single Silver Coin?

In the Plane world, not only did Players look for opportunities, but for these NPCs, opportunities were also very important things. The guard was regretting it bitterly now. Since he had taken that Silver Coin, he and this newly appointed Baron could never have any other connection.

“Arrogant at first and respectful later; thinking about it makes one laugh. This saying is indeed correct.”

Mo Xiaobai knew exactly how the officials and guards around him had changed, but he had no interest at all in responding to their flattering glances. He walked past the main gate on his own, preparing to head to Dong Residence.

“Great God Daydreaming!”

Just as Mo Xiaobai reached out to hail a carriage, he heard someone behind him call out to him.

Turning around, who else could it be but Four-Three-Two-One?

Mo Xiaobai did not understand what this person wanted to do; he simply turned to look behind him.

Four-Three-Two-One, seeing Mo Xiaobai turn around, looked extremely excited. The surprise overflowing on his cheeks was just like seeing an idol he had chased for ten years:

“Great God, it is really you!”

“I guessed it correctly! My foot just stepped out, and right after someone received a noble title. Just now, I was thinking that the possibility of it being you was over ninety percent.”

Four-Three-Two-One was very excited and his words were a bit incoherent.

No wonder he was like this, since Mo Xiaobai had already triggered the Plane Announcement several times before and caused such a storm throughout the Lord Plane. Four-Three-Two-One could only be considered somewhat famous on the Forum, but the name Daydreaming had already echoed throughout the entire Plane.

“Do you need to find me?” Mo Xiaobai found it interesting and looked at this Forum expert from his past life.

“Yes, yes, or no, no… I just wanted to know if you are Daydreaming.”

“Haha~ I am Daydreaming. Who are you?” Of course, Mo Xiaobai could not say he knew him, so he pretended to be confused and asked.

“I am Four-Three-Two-One. My Territory is just to the south, and I came here today to redeem the rewards.” Although Mo Xiaobai only asked who he was, Four-Three-Two-One rambled on a lot.

“Four-Three-Two-One? I think I have seen your post.”

Mo Xiaobai was just teasing him, but Four-Three-Two-One did not think so. Instead, he asked even more surprisedly: “Has the Great God also read my post?”

“Yes, the one about that terrible trial.”

“Hah~ haha~ that… Ah, I feel ashamed. Later, I was slapped in the face by the power of another Lord. Thinking back on it now, it seems like I showed off my skills in front of a true master.”

Actually, when Four-Three-Two-One first posted about the trial, he was quite proud. But he could not resist a Great God appearing on the Forum a few days later who posted the detailed process of how to reach 77% forest recovery rate. After reading it, Four-Three-Two-One had nothing more to say.

Mo Xiaobai knew he was talking about Yang Yang Yang, but he did not pick up that topic. Raising an eyebrow, he said: “I rarely meet other Players. Since we met today, would you like to go together and taste the delicious wine from the wine shops in Prefecture City?”

“Since the Great God has spoken, I would be pretentious if I refused.” Four-Three-Two-One felt pleasantly surprised by Mo Xiaobai’s proposal. Actually, he had many things he wanted to say, but it was not the right time to say them.

The two of them got into a carriage together. A moment later, they arrived at the lively West Market filled with songs and dances.

Although it was broad daylight, the restaurants were filled with singing and dancing beauties, making it very lively. This was another unique feature of the Plane nations; you could get free song and dance performances while eating.

Of course, wine shops with singing and dancing beauties were usually quite high-end, and ordinary small food stalls did not have the capital for that.

The two of them entered a high-end restaurant named Yan Residence one after the other. As soon as Mo Xiaobai stepped over the threshold, a thin old man came running toward them quickly:

“Your honor, Baron, as a guest of great status, it is a small matter of old men failing to welcome you from afar.”

“Please come this way, please come this way.”

Once again, the benefits of high Renown were shown. Mo Xiaobai did not even need to say a word; the manager of Yan Residence had already hurriedly led the way for Mo Xiaobai and the other.
