……

How is Mount Tai? The green of Qi and Lu never ends.

To the southwest of Daye Marsh, where blue waves roll, and to the north of the Dang Mountain range, which stretches for thousands of miles.

In a secluded valley surrounded by three mountains, a stream flowed past, and the scene of singing birds and fragrant flowers was delightful.

The bottom of the valley was about ten thousand mu wide. Except for the curling smoke of human habitation at the valley entrance, the surroundings completely retained the most primitive green waters and lush mountains.

“Unexpectedly, I am actually the first person to enter the Lord Plane.” Standing beside the Lord Stone Stele at the edge of the village square, the joy in Mo Xiaobai’s eyes could not be suppressed at all.

Beneath his feet was the Lord Plane!

And he, Mo Xiaobai, would create the miracle here that he could only hope for in his dreams in his past life!

Listening to the announcement spreading in his ears, Mo Xiaobai gradually calmed down. He was the first Player to log in. Although the Plane Announcement resounded throughout the Lord Plane, in reality, it could be summarized as useless.

Damn it!

Apart from me, young master, logging in, there is no one else yet.

The so-called first announcement was just for my own amusement.

In front of Mo Xiaobai, a total of thirty-five villagers refreshed by the Intellect Brain were standing there swaying. Mo Xiaobai was very familiar with five of them; they were surprisingly the strong men who had completed the Talent Trial together with him.

This was the hidden reward of the Talent Trial. The strong men were very satisfied with Mo Xiaobai, so the Intellect Brain directly assigned them here, and they did not take up the quota of the villagers refreshed on the first day.

“Fellow villagers, I am Daydreaming, and I have been added as the Village Head of this village.”

Having experience in giving speeches in his previous life, Mo Xiaobai was not stage fright at all. He first nodded with a smile at the five strong men, and then spoke: “I am extremely honored that you have come from afar to settle in this village.”

“This is my Territory, and it is also your home. Here, you will have your own land and your own Residential Courtyards. No matter what the outside world is like, we must live our lives. There are only five houses in the Territory right now, which is definitely far from enough. If you want stable shelter, everyone needs to work together. Next, I will arrange work for everyone, and we will strive to build enough houses before nightfall.”

Mo Xiaobai finished speaking with a faint smile, and his gaze swept over the thirty-five villagers in front of him one by one.

After looking at them one by one, Mo Xiaobai felt somewhat regretful.

Although the Special Token allowed him to possess a very good Territory, the quality of the villagers really could not compare to a Gold Grade Village.

Among the thirty-plus people, only the five who had cooperated with him were slightly better.

“Villager: Wang Kui!”

“Potential: C”

“Level: 10”

“Personal Attributes: Strength [23]; Intelligence [11]; Constitution [21]; Agility [15]; Fortune [8]”

“Vitality: 93”

“Class Transfer: Not activated!”

“Introduction: An ordinary resident, no need for Class Transfer at all.”

……

“Villager: Liu Han!”

“Potential: C”

“Level: 10”

“Personal Attributes: Strength [24]; Intelligence [11]; Constitution [22]; Agility [13]; Fortune [5]”

“Vitality: 91”

“Class Transfer: Not activated!”

“Introduction: An ordinary resident, no need for Class Transfer at all.”

……

“Villager: Liu You!”

……

“Villager: Zhou Ji!”

……

“Villager: Zhou Tai!”

……

These five strong men farmers with “C” potential were already the tallest ones chosen from among the short, the best batch. Mo Xiaobai was a bit helpless, but fortunately, the Vitality values of the five were quite high, unlike the others who were sallow and thin, looking half-dead.

“Two Uncle Lius, the construction of the Territory still needs you to put in more effort. At the same time, set a good example. Pick eight people to build houses with you. This is your expertise.”

First, he gave the order to build houses to Liu Han and Liu You. Mo Xiaobai then looked at the Zhou Family brothers: “Two Uncles from the Zhou Family, similarly, take eight villagers to the hinterland of the valley to chop some wood, in case of need.”

“Uncle Wang Kui should know how to farm, right? The remaining villagers will follow you. You fifteen people first plant rice in the idle fields in the village. We don’t have much surplus grain. If we don’t want to go hungry in a few days, we have to rely on ourselves.”

“The old rule remains: we work at sunrise and rest at sunset. Daydreaming hereby asks for your help.”

As a “veteran” who had mixed in for fifteen years, Mo Xiaobai knew very well that the Lord Plane looked like a game but was definitely not a game. These “NPCs” each had their own independent personalities and thoughts. Perhaps some were stupid, perhaps some were foolish, but everyone had their own feelings. How Players treated them, they would mostly repay in kind.

Therefore, when Mo Xiaobai finished his last sentence and bowed slightly, a trace of unusual color began to appear in the eyes of the thirty-five people in front of him.

The most direct manifestation was a prompt from the Intellect Brain:

“Congratulations to Player ‘Daydreaming’ for gathering Populace Sentiment through speech. Territory Populace Sentiment has increased by 3 points.”

Although it was just a small increase, Mo Xiaobai still nodded with satisfaction.

Without accumulating small steps, one cannot reach a thousand miles!

He had long understood the principle that many small things add up.

Watching the five strong men lead a group of villagers to scatter and work, Mo Xiaobai touched his chin and took out the “Lingyan Pavilion”.

“Now that no Player has entered, if I summon the Lingyan Pavilion, no second person will know. Although I don’t expect to keep the secret for a few years, at least it won’t be leaked in the early stage.”

Although Mo Xiaobai really wanted to use this thing to show off in front of hundreds of millions or even a billion nationals, after weighing the pros and cons, he still decided not to reveal his wealth.

Keeping a low profile and farming was the way to go!

Scanning his simple Territory, Mo Xiaobai thought for a while and finally walked to the southwest corner of the Territory. He did not plan to carry out agricultural or industrial development here, so it was very suitable for constructing some Special Buildings.

“Use, ‘Building · Lingyan Pavilion’.”
