Chapter 4: Lord Token

The effects of the Gold Grade Lord Token were unquestionable.

The initial area of a Silver Grade Village was 1,000 mu, while the initial area of a Gold Grade Village was 3,000 mu.

The initial areas were different, the population limits were different, and the resources rewarded for building the village were even more different. Speaking of these benefits, it was estimated that the other billion Lords would be green with envy.

But that was only for the first two or three days. After most Lords built their villages three days later, the reputation of the “Gold Grade Pit” spread quickly.

The reason it was a pit was entirely the fault of the word “random.”

Those who used the Gold Grade Lord Token were almost all sent to various bizarre regions by the “Plane Intellect.”

Desolate desert zones where there was not even an oasis around.

Jiaozhi, filled with uncivilized savages everywhere; it was impossible to subdue them in the early stage of the game.

Hmm, yes, “them.” Fierce savages were not much different from wild beasts. The only difference was that their levels were generally quite high and they were not beginner monsters at all.

The more unlucky ones were randomly sent directly to islands. One could be the island owner, but as for the rest, hehe, one could only hehe.

“In the previous life, although most people were unlucky, there were still one or two lucky ones who did not challenge nightmare difficulty immediately upon entering the Plane.”

“Should I take a gamble on my luck?”

Mo Xiaobai raised an eyebrow, feeling a bit eager to try.

He had even encountered something like rebirth, so his luck should be incredibly heaven-defying, right?

Thinking this, Mo Xiaobai reached out and tapped to the left of the Gold Token.

There, an inconspicuous small token also stood quietly.

“Lord Token!”

“Usage Instructions: Use this token to obtain a Lord Territory.”

“Usage Restrictions: None!”

“Exchange Points: 2”

Compared to the Gold Token, the introduction of this inconspicuous white token was so simple it was beyond criticism; it did not even have a grade.

But just such a small token possessed an advantage that even the Gold Token could not compare to.

Freedom to choose the Territory!

All ownerless wastelands in the vast Huaxia Region of the Lord Plane were yours to choose from!

“This is the real Divine Artifact!”

“And it is the Divine Artifact that suits me best!”

Although he had muddled through for fifteen years in his past life without much success, Mo Xiaobai knew one thing: a good Territory was not just about its size, but more about the resources in all aspects.

Simply put, the soil of the Territory had to be fertile and useful; the terrain of the Territory had to be near mountains and rivers, easy to defend and hard to attack; the situation outside the Territory, large and small resource points, and large and small leveling areas had to be arranged in order, progressing step by step.

Mo Xiaobai had seen such regions in his previous life, but he had only seen them; anyway, they had nothing to do with him.

“It had nothing to do with me in the previous life, but I have a connection in this life!”

Without thinking, he directly put the white token into his bosom. Mo Xiaobai’s gaze skipped over the “Gold Grade Pit” and began to scan the other Heaven’s Gift items around him.

Being able to be stored in the Heaven’s Gift Treasure Box, there was nothing ordinary among the items here.

“Lihuo Orb,” a high-level Daoist Artifact.

The exchange price was five Points, almost catching up to the Gold Token. Of course, this thing was also worth its value. Mo Xiaobai had heard in his previous life that using the “Lihuo Orb” to drive even a small wisp of flame could directly ignite one or two mountain tops.

Unfortunately, Daoist Artifacts were too high-end and almost useless in the first few years. Mo Xiaobai thought about it and chose to give up. He had memories of his previous life and there were other ways to get Daoist Artifacts, so there was no need to waste precious Heaven’s Gift Points.

As his gaze swept over them one by one, Mo Xiaobai’s eyes soon lit up.

He discovered another very interesting thing.

“Special Building: Lingyan Pavilion!”

“Building Effect: On the first day of February every year, can summon a meritorious official whose portrait is in Lingyan Pavilion.”

“Building Introduction: In February of the seventeenth year of Zhenguan, Taizong ordered Yan Liben to paint portraits of twenty-four meritorious officials in Lingyan Pavilion, all life-sized, with inscriptions by Chu Suiliang, to cherish the past. Later, four other emperors successively added portraits of meritorious officials, totaling over a hundred.”

“Usage Restrictions: Only effective within the Territory.”

“Exchange Points: 8”

No more, no less, exactly 8 Points were needed!

“There are quite a few buildings that can summon Historical Celebrities. Golden Terrace, Recruitment Hall, Yuntai Pavilion, and Jixia Academy all have similar functions, but such buildings are very difficult to obtain. Even Jixia Academy failed to reappear until fifteen years later.”

“Now that I have encountered Lingyan Pavilion, how can I miss it?”

Mo Xiaobai glanced at the other exchange items again. Although there were two or three things he wanted very much, compared with Lingyan Pavilion, they really were not very comparable.

“It’s you!”

Spending all his remaining Points, he lightly touched the Lingyan Pavilion pattern. Soon, a pavilion model appeared in Mo Xiaobai’s hand.

At the same time, the Heaven’s Gift Treasure Box gradually closed, but it did not disappear directly as Mo Xiaobai had imagined. Instead, it quietly returned to his private backpack.

“This…!”

“Could it be permanently effective?”

Mo Xiaobai stared blankly at his backpack panel, suddenly wanting to laugh three times loudly.

Why was he so lucky in this life!

He thought he would miss out on the other heavy treasures!

It seemed there would still be opportunities in the future to collect them all into his hands.

Excitedly clenching his fist, Mo Xiaobai put the Lingyan Pavilion model into his backpack as well. Then, holding the white token, he whispered:

“Use Lord Token!”

“Ding~ Detected Player ‘Daydreaming’ activating a Special Lord Token. Do you confirm usage?”

“Confirm!”

As Mo Xiaobai nodded again, the white token “swooshed” and bloomed with a dazzling light.

A moment later, a giant map appeared before Mo Xiaobai’s eyes.

It was the complete map of the Huaxia Region of the Lord Plane.

“Shang, Zhou, Qin, Han, Tang, Song, Ming.”

Silently reciting the seven Dynasty nations of the Huaxia Region on this map, Mo Xiaobai knew that this was because Huaxia had a large population, so the Plane Intellect divided it based on 200 million people per nation, directly cutting the entire region into seven pieces.

“Intellect Brain, I select the Great Han Dynasty!”

With Mo Xiaobai’s confirmation, the map began to change. The six Dynasties other than “Han” faded away one after another.

In the Lord Plane, all nations took their Dragon Origin Land as the King’s Capital and divided their national territories.

The Great Han Dragon Origin Land was in Pei, so the core area of the map before him was Pei Capital.

Of course, Mo Xiaobai could not place his Territory over by the King’s Capital, so he just took a rough look at the map and spoke again: “Display the map of the Daye Marsh and Dang Mountain areas.”

The map changed once more, becoming more detailed and clear.

Scanning the vast Daye Marsh and Dang Mountain areas, Mo Xiaobai smiled.

This area could be said to be the best section for Players to develop in the early stage. Daye Marsh was formed by the scouring of the Yellow River, and the surrounding soil was fertile enough to ooze oil, while Dang Mountain stretched for ten thousand miles, with resources incredibly abundant.

Moreover, Mo Xiaobai also knew that this area was very rich in legendary colors, and many Plane storylines would open in this region.

“I want to establish my Territory right here!”

Pointing with his right hand, Mo Xiaobai was in high spirits.
