Chapter 39: Nine-Fragrance Rice

That night, Mo Xiaobai stayed at the Dong Residence.

Alone in the guest room of the Dong Residence, Mo Xiaobai first planned to log off. But when he remembered that he had not yet checked the reward he received, he did not rush to leave. Instead, he took out the small cloth bag the Chief Clerk had given him.

Originally, Mo Xiaobai thought the Chief Clerk had put a small model of a random Territory Building and a Specialty Token inside the bag. But when he opened the bag, he found something else hidden inside.

“Wow, it’s actually a Xumi Bag.”

Mo Xiaobai opened the bag. What met his eyes was not a small pocket, but a space of nearly one hundred cubic meters.

Inside the empty space, only a small model of a random Territory Building and a Specialty Token lay quietly on the floor.

“What a huge favor this is.”

Holding the Xumi Bag, Mo Xiaobai clicked his tongue.

Although Players have a built-in Player Backpack that can hold many things, it only works normally when in the main Plane.

However, in some special areas, a Player’s Backpack space is forcibly closed. This includes the Dynasty Instances and District Instances that will gradually open up, as well as the final Plane Instances.

In these Instances, Players are not allowed to use the Channel or the Forum, and naturally, they cannot use their Backpack either.

There, the value of a Xumi Bag would be infinitely amplified.

But unfortunately, whether it is the Xumi Bag in the Eastern World or the Space Ring in the Western World, both of these Storage Items are rare treasures that are hard to find.

At least, in his past life, Mo Xiaobai never had the luck to get even a single cubic meter of a Space Bag.

“This Xumi Bag probably does not belong to the bandit suppression reward. I guess I need to be careful when dealing with that Chief Clerk in the future.”

It is often said that one can fear a thief stealing, but one should fear a thief eyeing the prize.

Mo Xiaobai knew he was far from being just an ordinary First-Class Baron who could make a Prefecture City Chief Clerk bow and present him with a precious item like a Xumi Bag.

“To take, one must first give.

The Chief Clerk played this move perfectly!

Next time they meet, if he asks Mo Xiaobai for help, Mo Xiaobai won’t even be able to say the word “no.” As for returning the Xumi Bag, not only would the Chief Clerk probably not accept it, but Mo Xiaobai himself would also be too reluctant to do such a thing.

Having a Xumi Bag in hand would make many future tasks much more convenient.

“Forget it. Let’s just treat this as a quest reward given by an NPC in advance.”

Mo Xiaobai could only comfort himself in this way. He shook his head to stop thinking about it and then took out the Specialty Token, along with the S-Tier Talent Card from his backpack.

“Ding~ Player detected activating ‘Random Territory Specialty Token’. Do you confirm usage?”

“Yes!”

“Ding~ ‘Random Territory Specialty Token’ used successfully. Congratulations, Player ‘Daydreaming’, on obtaining the Territory Specialty ‘Nine-Fragrance Rice’.”

“Territory Specialty: Nine-Fragrance Rice!”

“Specialty Type: Grain Rice!”

“Specialty Effect: If a Player in the Plane eats continuously for one hundred meals, there is a chance to increase their Innate Attribute; if a Territory Citizen in the Plane eats continuously for one hundred days, there is a chance to improve their Talent Rank.”

“Effect Limit: Only valid once per person.”

After reading the introduction of the ‘Nine-Fragrance Rice’ Specialty, Mo Xiaobai could only say:

Specialties are truly special!

It can increase Innate Attributes and improve Territory Citizens’ Tolerance.

Even if such rice existed, Mo Xiaobai had never heard of it in his fifteen years of the past life.

Even if its effect could only increase an Innate Attribute by one point, to Mo Xiaobai, it was an incredible Specialty.

“I just wonder if the probability is high. If it is, I will be extremely happy.”

At this moment, what Mo Xiaobai thought of were Li Ji, the Dong siblings, and others in his Territory.

Especially Dong Zhen. She already has an SS Talent. If she can eat the Nine-Fragrance Rice and advance to an SSS Talent, Mo Xiaobai believes that Medical Immortal Dong will very likely become the greatest Divine Doctor in the Plane.

Because in Mo Xiaobai’s memory, even Bian Que only had an SS Talent. In the West, Darwin counted as half a Divine Doctor, and he also had an SS Talent, but only a small part of his talent was in medicine.

The only true SS-Tier medical talent in the West was Hippocrates, the Greek Divine Doctor known as the “Father of Western Medicine.”

“SSS Talent!”

“Even if he is just a doctor, he would be someone who dominates the medical field in the Plane.”

“Besides, if Li Ji’s talent improves to become a Tier S General, his future growth potential will jump up a huge level. It is quite possible he will stand shoulder to shoulder with Bai Qi of Qin.”

“Even He Chun has a chance to enter the S-Tier Talent group and firmly establish a place among the top-tier groups in the Plane.”

Just thinking of these things made Mo Xiaobai unable to hold back his excitement and start laughing.

However, just at the moment he was most excited, a sudden, heavy boom of thunder exploded outside the house, cutting his daydream short.

The voice of the Intellect Brain came from the high sky. Unlike the colorful fireworks when Mo Xiaobai previously triggered an announcement, this time what exploded in the sky were clusters of dark-colored fireworks.

“Plane Announcement~ Congratulations to the player ‘Two Smoking Guns’ from the Never-Setting Sun Empire for successfully completing the Pirate Trial and becoming the Plane’s first Pirate Chief. His Territory has changed from Land Territory to Sea Territory. Special rewards: 100 Prestige Value, 50 Gold, 1 Trireme Warship, 1 Random Pirate Unit Summoning Card, and 1 Pirate Talent Card (S-Tier).”

“Plane Announcement~ Congratulations to the player ‘Two Smoking Guns’ from the Never-Setting Sun Empire for successfully completing the Pirate Trial and becoming the Plane’s first Pirate Chief. His Territory has changed from Land Territory to Sea Territory. Special rewards: 100 Prestige Value, 50 Gold, 1 Trireme Warship, 1 Random Pirate Unit Summoning Card, and 1 Pirate Talent Card (S-Tier).”

“Plane Announcement~ Congratulations to the player from the Never-Setting Sun Empire…”

This time, the Plane Announcement was finally no longer about Mo Xiaobai.

But after hearing the Intellect Brain announce the news, ninety-nine percent of the Players were completely dumbfounded.

Can Plane games be played like this?

Giving up a good Territory to run around being pirates?

“Shouldn’t this guy become a pirate boss in half a year? Why is he acting up now?”

Seeing the Plane news, Mo Xiaobai scratched his head but could not figure out the reason. He did not know that Two Smoking Guns had been beaten up so badly by pirates that he finally decided to join the great cause of piracy.

Mo Xiaobai was now wondering how much he had changed the trajectory of the Plane from his past life.

If Two Smoking Guns could walk the path of the Pirate King earlier, then other special Lords also had a high chance to appear earlier.

“So, unknowingly, I have already pried open the entire Plane.” Mo Xiaobai touched his chin and sighed with a tone of admiration.

At that moment, the Huaxia Player Channel was not yet lively, but the Never-Setting Sun Empire Players were already arguing loudly.

“Two Smoking Guns, isn’t he our Gold Grade Lord?”

“OMG, why is he becoming a pirate?”

“Does he not know that we do not need a pirate now, but a truly powerful Lord to fight against Huaxia’s Daydreaming?”

“Hah~ Fight against Daydreaming, relying on that broken boat of his?”

“So disappointed. This Plane Announcement will only bring shame to our Empire.”

“We should tell the Queen to revoke his citizenship and make him get out of the Never-Setting Sun.”

“Get out of the Never-Setting Sun, we do not need pirates!”
