Chapter 49: Maogong the Lucky One

Two Territory Expansion Maps, one random Territory Building Blueprint, and three random Territory Buildings.

Amidst a pile of Territory Items, Mo Xiaobai and Li Ji discussed for a moment before pulling out these three first.

Mo Xiaobai thought that good things should be saved for last, while Li Ji’s plan was to first fill up the village’s regular buildings before considering blueprints and models for Special Buildings.

“Beep~ Lord Player Daydreaming used a Territory Expansion Map. The area of Daming Village has increased by 500 mu.”

“Beep~ Deputy Village Head Li Ji of Daming Village used a Territory Expansion Map. The area of Daming Village has increased by 500 mu.”

After confirming the use of the two Expansion Maps, the two most unlikely items to contain easter eggs among Lord items, Mo Xiaobai didn’t even bother listening to the prompt by his ear. He simply held the remaining blueprints and building models in his hands.

“Beep~ Lord Player Daydreaming activated a random Territory Building Blueprint and received the blueprint for the Territory Building ‘Residential Courtyard (Small Town Level 1)’.”

“Beep~ Deputy Village Head Li Ji of Daming Village activated a random Territory Building and received the Territory Building ‘Mantou Kiln (Small Town Level 3)’.”

“Beep~ Lord Player Daydreaming activated a random Territory Building and received the Territory Building ‘Hot Spring Pool (Small Town Level 1)’.”

“Beep~ Deputy Village Head Li Ji of Daming Village activated a random Territory Building and received the Territory Building ‘Mulberry Garden (Village Level 3)’.”

After a series of prompts sounded, Mo Xiaobai looked at the houses and bathhouse in his hand, then glanced at Li Ji’s side where the “Mantou Kiln” and “Mulberry Garden” were.

This was no longer a question of bad luck. It was clearly a sign that Maogong was crushing his own bad luck.

“What kind of trash did I just get?”

“What am I supposed to do with these?”

He had thought this time would bring a huge harvest, but reality gave Mo Xiaobai a harsh lesson.

Being too pale really affects one’s luck.

Mo Xiaobai wanted to enjoy opening items, but after glancing at the remaining good stuff, he felt tempted yet dared not touch them.

If he opened another toilet or something, he would cry himself to sleep.

Next time, next time he would definitely fast and bathe for three days and wash his hands before trying again.

As for these things in front of him, he would just hand them over to Li Ji.

“Maogong, you take them.”

Handing the remaining items to Li Ji, Mo Xiaobai stared straight at him, eager to see just how lucky Li Ji would be.

In the next instant, the following prompt from the Intellect Brain gave Mo Xiaobai his answer immediately.

“Beep~ Deputy Village Head Li Ji of Daming Village activated a random Special Territory Building Blueprint and received the blueprint for the Special Territory Building ‘Tribal Elephant Barracks’.”

“Beep~ Deputy Village Head Li Ji of Daming Village activated a random Special Territory Building and received the Special Territory Building ‘Rattan Armor Barracks’.”

Two more prompts sounded, and this time Mo Xiaobai was ready to kneel.

He had actually gotten Special Barracks!

And not just one, but two!

“Elephant Soldiers and Rattan Armor Soldiers. If I remember correctly, these Unit Types should be Tier 3 units.”

“That is a full three ranks higher than the unranked Village Soldiers!”

As this thought flashed through his mind, the joy on Mo Xiaobai’s face simply would not stop.

What if his own luck was bad?

With Maogong the Lucky One on his side, why would he need to use his own luck?

“Maogong truly lives up to his name.”

Mo Xiaobai couldn’t even think of how to praise Li Ji. Being able to open a Tier 3 Barracks while everyone else was still busy fussing with Village-level Territory buildings required what kind of luck?

Li Ji also didn’t expect his luck to be this good. Holding the last Item, he asked, “My Lord, there is still one ‘random Incense Building’ left. Should we use it now as well?”

“Yes!”

Strike while the iron is hot, Mo Xiaobai gritted his teeth and nodded firmly.

“Here you go.”

Li Ji nodded back in agreement and immediately activated the “random Incense Building” in his hand.

“Beep~ Deputy Village Head Li Ji of Daming Village activated a random Incense Building and received the unique heritage Incense Building ‘Martial Chengwang Temple’.”

Silence!

Absolute silence!

At this moment, the area within a hundred paces of Mo Xiaobai had almost become a soundless zone.

After taking several deep breaths, Mo Xiaobai finally looked at Li Ji. “Maogong, did you hear that just now?”

Mo Xiaobai could hardly believe it. What building had Li Ji just obtained?

“It seems… to be a Martial Temple.”

A corner of Li Ji’s mouth twitched, and he stared at his palm with wide eyes.

In his palm sat clearly a temple model.

The Martial Chengwang Temple!

It was, truly, a Martial Temple!

Perhaps more people across the Water Blue Star were chasing after Christian Churches, Islamic Mosques, or Buddhist Temples.

But within Huaxia, in the hearts of all Huaxia Persons…

There were two temples whose status was far higher than those of the Buddhist and Daoist temples and monasteries.

One was the Wenxuan Wang Temple, usually just called the Confucian Temple.

The other was the Wucheng Wang Temple, known as the Martial Temple.

One literary, one martial, complementing each other.

“In his previous life, many players from other nations of the Water Blue Star deliberately belittled Huaxia Players, calling them a people with no faith.”

“ They had no idea.”

“We Huaxia People have our own faith and our own pride!”

“The land of Huaxia has never lacked legendary myths, but the gods we worship are not those illusory deities. We worship the glorious civilization created by the Huaxia people themselves!”

Looking at the building item in Li Ji’s hand, Mo Xiaobai understood clearly.

The Martial Temple was by no means a simple Item. Its very existence proclaimed the glory of Huaxia Civilization.

It was the martial backbone of Huaxia!

“Maogong, your fortune has already broken through the sky.”

Mo Xiaobai spoke softly. Although in his previous fifteen years, many buildings in the Huaxia Region still hadn’t appeared, Mo Xiaobai vaguely remembered that the Wenxuan Wang Temple had appeared in the third year.

Once it appeared, the entire Huaxia Region was thoroughly shocked.

The Martial Chengwang Temple had never appeared in his previous life, so he never expected it to arrive in his hands so quickly in this life.

“My Lord, shall we summon the Martial Temple?”

When Li Ji spoke these words, his tone was respectful, humble, and sincere.

He was a General!

For a Huaxia martial man like Li Ji, the Martial Temple was like the Hall of Fame in the eyes of an American basketball star. It was their highest honor hall and the most important place of inheritance.

“Of course we must summon it. Let all the people of the Territory come.” Mo Xiaobai’s expression was equally solemn. Summoning the “Martial Temple” could no longer be as rash as summoning the “Lingyan Pavilion” at the beginning.

“Good, your subordinate will go notify everyone.”

Li Ji handed over the “Martial Temple” model with both hands, bowed respectfully, and then slowly withdrew. Mo Xiaobai held the “Martial Temple” with both hands, already considering where to place it.

Given the status of the Martial Temple, placing it in the most prominent location of the Territory was not too much to ask.

But this was a Plane World. The most prominent location also meant it would be the easiest target.

“I should discuss this with Maogong and Jun Xin.”

Unable to decide alone, Mo Xiaobai simply waited for everyone to arrive.

A moment later, over four hundred residents, including the patrolling Village Soldiers, rushed back. Li Ji, He Chun, and the Dong sisters gathered closely around Mo Xiaobai.

When Mo Xiaobai voiced his doubt from his heart, Li Ji and the others fell silent for a long while. Finally, Dong Zhen whispered, “In the past, Grand Duke waited at the Wei River bank for fishing. Since the Martial Temple honors the Grand Duke as a sage, why not place it beside the river or stream?”

As soon as Dong Zhen spoke, Mo Xiaobai’s eyes lit up.

Such a great idea and such a profound meaning.

Moreover, there was no need to choose another spot, for within the current scope of Daming Village, only one mountain stream flowed windingly from top to bottom.

That was perfect. It was settled then!
