Yang Rui had just tied up Bocai's hands when a system notification popped up. It was followed by a system announcement that Bocai had been captured. Although the system had not officially announced the end of the Battle of Yingchuan storyline, all players could already "leave" in advance.
At this time, Yang Rui was in a difficult position. Bocai was captured, but he was like a ticking time bomb. Once he woke up, a rope would not be able to trap him. Yang Rui even suspected that the wooden prison in Mountain Town would not be able to restrain Bocai, let alone a rope. How to deal with Bocai became a big problem.
Yang Rui could only put Bocai and his family into the Storage Ring, including the restless war horse. And the carriage that would affect the marching speed of the army. They were all put into the Storage Ring. In this way, even if Bocai woke up, Yang Rui could still control him and prevent him from hurting people.
However, storing them in the storage ring was not a long-term solution. The storage ring had a lifespan limit. Although the lifespan was much longer than the lifespan of the small Cosmos Bag, it was still only 24 hours. Once the lifespan was up, he would either release them or die inside! Therefore, the Storage Ring could only hold Bocai for a short period of time.
It had to be said that Yang Rui kept Bocai alive not only because he was reminded of his own experience and could not bear to kill him. On the other hand, Yang Rui also had a little bit of fantasy about subduing Bocai. Since the start of the Yellow Turban Uprising storyline, other than Zhang Chen, the "fake Yellow Turban", Yang Rui had not subdued a single Yellow Turban, not even a family member. But what if the Yellow Turban Uprising storyline ended?
Previously, when Yang Rui was in Xutian County, he had saved some of the women who were captured by the Yellow Turban. Some of the victims were also willing to follow Yang Rui. Before returning to Mountain Town, Yang Rui spent almost two days rushing back to keep them in the Storage Ring.
After packing everything up, Yang Rui chose to teleport to the area. The scene changed, and Yang Rui was standing in the meeting room of Mountain Town!
"System Notification: Congratulations to player Blazing Sun for successfully completing the Regional Storyline Quest [Battle of Yingchuan]. Based on your performance in the plot mission, after a comprehensive evaluation, you will be rewarded with 782 Plot Mission Verification Rewards! I hope you can continue to work hard and complete the other quests of the Yellow Turban Uprising storyline! "
As soon as Yang Rui appeared in the meeting room of the Big Mountain Town, a system notification popped up. He had not received the notification that the storyline of the [Battle of Yingchuan] region had ended. So it was waiting for him here. Only when the players returned to their base would the storyline be considered complete!
According to the performance of the mission. In the end, the system gave Yang Rui a total of 782 Story Quests. It was very timely! The highest number of Story Quests that Yang Rui had obtained was over 6,100. However, after exchanging for the Soul Storage Ring, he had spent 5,000 Story Quests in one go. If he wanted to exchange for other items, he would not have enough!
Luckily, he had only obtained 1,000 Story Quests in the first round. In the fourth round, he had obtained close to 400 Story Quests in total. Including the 782 Story Quests he had obtained so far. In total, Yang Rui had accumulated 3,316 Story Quests in total!
These Story Quests all had the [Battle of Yingchuan] symbol on them. They could only be exchanged for items related to the current storyline. There was no point in keeping them. Hence, Yang Rui directly exchanged for the Platinum Grade Battle of Yingchuan Medal!
"Battle of Yingchuan Medal (Violet-Gold): Martial Strength + 7; Intelligence + 7; Politics + 7; Command + 7; Personal Exclusive Item; Can only be exchanged and equipped with one item of the same name; Cannot be dropped or traded after equipping; Unlimited equipment!"
This Battle of Yingchuan Medal was shining with a purple light. The item description was simple and clear. All Dimensional Attributes + 7. It was already very rare for an item to be "suspended". It was very compatible with his Platinum Grade status! As soon as the item was in his hands, Yang Rui quickly equipped it. All of his attributes + 7 at the same time, which was another significant improvement!
After exchanging for the medal, Yang Rui still had 116 Story Quests in his hands. He did not have enough to exchange for another 5 Battle Sets. Or rather, he could only exchange for 5 Normal Grade Battle Sets! Yang Rui decided to keep the remaining hundred Story Quests.
The verification of storyline quests could be traded. Yang Rui was prepared to wait for an opportunity to purchase some more before exchanging for them. Or he might as well sell the rest to other players! After all, there would be more Battle Sets in the future. They would not be limited to a certain area like the medal.
As for the Achievement Points and Contribution Points, Yang Rui was not in a hurry to exchange for them. He had already left Mountain Town for quite some time. He was in a hurry to check on the situation of the two territories! Therefore, he first went to the checkpoint at the entrance of Ao Lai Valley and met with Wang Hai, Zhang Tian, Sun Bao and the rest of the people who stayed in Mountain Town.
"Welcome back, my lord!"
Everyone greeted Yang Rui in unison when they saw him.
"Thank you for your hard work!"
Yang Rui clasped his hands and greeted them. "How's the situation in Mountain Town and Wutun Town in Jiangji? Also, what's the situation with the refugees and the families of the Yellow Turbans in Wenshui? When I came over just now, the number of refugees outside the Black Dragon Swamp seemed to have increased again … "
After meeting everyone, Yang Rui was the first to ask a bunch of questions. Wang Hai and the rest answered Yang Rui one by one. The few of them supplemented each other's questions. They explained the current situation in the territory and the entire Juping County.
According to Wang Hai and the rest, after Yang Rui left the territory to participate in the regional storyline, the situation in the Yellow Turbans around the territory and the entire Juping County did not change much. The leader of the Yellow Turbans, Yang Lai, was still entrenched in the northern mountains. The rest of the Yellow Turbans were still fighting on a small scale. Although they still had the upper hand, they did not break through the situation.
After understanding the general situation, Yang Rui was relieved. Comparing the strength of the Yellow Turbans in Juping County and the Han Court, the Yellow Turbans still had the upper hand. It was normal for something to happen. It seemed that Yang Rui's two main territories were still safe.
"My lord, there are currently more than 10000 refugees gathered outside the Black Dragon Swamp in Mountain Town. Once these refugees arrived at the territory, we followed your orders and built them straw huts. We also lent them sweet potato seedlings for them to farm and produce on their own. We spent a total of 30000 cubic meters of wood, 10000 kilograms of grain and some sweet potato seedlings.
These refugees were originally poor people. Most of them were able to work on their own and maintain a normal life. They can even fish in the Black Dragon Swamp. Therefore, there are not many places that require Mountain Town's subsidies. Now, most of them have food and shelter.
Due to the large number of refugees, although only a small portion of them were willing to become citizens of Big Mountain Town, over 1,500 refugees have become citizens of Big Mountain Town recently. In addition to the natural increase before the Yellow Turban Uprising and the 1,600 refugees that were taken in during the refugee wave, the current population of Big Mountain Town has increased to over 9,000 people, and nearly a thousand of them are pregnant. So … "
Wang Hai was interrupted by Yang Rui before he could finish his sentence.
"Pregnant?"
After hearing Wang Hai's words, Yang Rui remembered that after the second system update, the population growth had changed to natural birth. They would need to go through the entire process of giving birth.
"That's right, my lord. Most of the women who were confirmed to be pregnant were already one or two months pregnant. Around the start of the new year, there would be a large number of babies coming to Mountain Town! Hahaha! I believe that Mountain Town will continue to grow by the next year. "
Wang Hai was overjoyed when he mentioned this. Wang Hai was overjoyed. Everyone present also had smiles on their faces. This was only the case in Mountain Town. In this year of disaster, if it were in other places, even adults would starve to death. There was no need to be happy about the addition of children. If they were unlucky enough to have a child, it would be extremely unlucky.
After Wang Hai's further introduction, Yang Rui understood that not only had Mountain Town's population reached the bottleneck of 10000 people, but they had also transferred people. The population of Lower Ink Village had also reached the upper limit of 2000 people. Jiangji's Wutun Town had also gathered 1700-800 people. In total, there were more than 13000 people.
Such a population had left the other player territories far behind. At this time, the highest level player villages were all at the level of an Advanced Village. They had been facing the population bottleneck for a long time.
This was especially true for larger organizations or game groups like [Dragon Soul]. The players had already built more than n Advanced Villages, and most of them were connected together. However, they were not recognized by the system. For example, when participating in the Yellow Turban Uprising plot, the achievement points and points obtained could not be accumulated together. It was a huge loss.
"The current militia training has not stopped, right?"
Speaking of the population, Yang Rui remembered something.
"My lord! Naturally, it has been carried out according to my lord's orders. Every day, more than 30 people will be selected to be trained as militia … "Wang Hai answered truthfully.
"Prioritize the 33 militia members with the best qualifications. It would be best if they have the Beginner Commander talent. Don't change class to Soldier for now. Let them level up to 30 and come to see me. At that time, I can change their class to Beginner Commander."
"33? Change class to Beginner Commander … "
Wang Hai was stunned when he heard this. Then, he was overjoyed.
What did 33 Beginner Commanders mean? Wang Hai was the clearest about it. Currently, Yang Rui only had 5 Beginner Commanders. Including Yang Rui himself, he only had 6 Beginner Commanders. Yet, he was able to defend the territory of two towns. At the same time, he had also obtained many achievements. If there were another 33 Beginner Commanders. Who would Mountain Town be afraid of in the Juping region? It would already be good if the three Prefectures of Juping City had 10 Beginner Commanders.
Everyone present was overjoyed when they heard this good news.
"As my lord commands. I will do it now!"
Wang Hai was about to get up and leave in a hurry. However, he was stopped by Yang Rui's shout.
"There is no need to panic."
After Wang Hai sat down again, Yang Rui continued. "Other than the 33 sets of basic Inner Force mantras, related skill books, weapons and equipment, with the cooperation of Li Dong and Zhang Chen, we have also obtained 403 sets of Spear Cavalry skill books and related equipment. There are also over 1200 Riding skill books. You can upgrade to Third Grade Spear Soldier soon so that you can upgrade to Fourth Grade Spear Cavalry."
