Yang Rui only stayed in Reed Tang Village for two to four hours after providing enough food to calm the people down. He left Sun Bao and the one hundred Fourth Grade water soldiers behind in Reed Tang Village and returned to Mountain Town.
Yang Rui should have stayed for a few more days to make detailed arrangements for the development of Reed Tang Village. However, there was less than a day left before the system update. There were still many unfinished business in Mountain Town. He would have to wait until the system update was over before paying more attention to Reed Tang Village.
Among the tasks that Yang Rui assigned to Guo Pu, Sun Bao, and the others, apart from some of them having to do with production and construction, was the most important one. He wanted them to try their best to gather the disaster victims and settle down in Reed Tang Village to quickly replenish the population! Guo Pu had some concerns about this at first. However, after Yang Rui promised that there would be no problems with food, he agreed to it without worry.
Yang Rui wasn't too worried about Reed Tang Village's defenses. Setting aside the fact that Reed Tang Village was already in danger to begin with, the village had been able to fend off the Yellow Turban Invasion with less than a hundred First and Second Grade soldiers. Now that Sun Bao and the one hundred Fourth Grade water soldiers were included, the village would only be safer.
Apart from that, Yang Rui also planned to have the water bandits upstream patrol Reed Tang Village downstream. This would add another layer of insurance to Reed Tang Village. They would be able to send news back to Yang Rui in Mountain Town in the event of an emergency!
[System Announcement: Congratulations to China player Traceback Dragon Soul for leveling up to the second beginner town in the entire server – Dragon's Domain. Player Traceback Dragon Soul Reputation is specially rewarded with 600 points, the title of World's Second Town of the Dragon's Domain, and one item blueprint!]
The system announcement of Dragon Soul's territory leveling up happened to be made while Yang Rui was on his way back to Mountain Town. Yang Rui had expected this. After the storyline rewards were released, more than one player organization should have obtained an official position and met the requirements for territory leveling up. Even Yang Rui found it strange that Dragon Soul had only leveled up now!
In truth, Yang Rui didn't know that these players had only obtained an official position for the first time. They all had a small mission to complete, which was why they were delayed.
"System Announcement: Congratulations to Slavic Civilization Russia player Peter for leveling up to the third primary town in the entire server — Petersburg. Player Peter is specially rewarded with 300 reputation points, the title of 'World's Third Town in the Dragon Domain', and a mission scroll!"
The leveling up of the Dragon Soul Territory seemed to have begun. In just over half an hour, the Russian player Peter also obtained the title of "World's Third Town", which was less than half an hour after the Dragon Soul Territory!
[System Announcement: Congratulations to Iron Blood Sword from the Three Kingdoms Civilization Region for leveling up your civilization's third primary town — Holy Land of Iron Blood. Player Iron Blood Sword is specially rewarded with 100 Reputation Points, the title of Iron Blood Holy Land's Third Town of Three Kingdoms, and one Quest Scroll! "
Not long after that, the system announcement that the Predator had obtained the title of "The Third Fortress of the Three Kingdoms" was also made! Although there were no more System Announcements after that, Yang Rui believed that those player organizations of similar strength would not be far behind!
In his previous life, there were no signs of China players in the top three leveling up towns in the entire server. Unexpectedly, there were so many changes after Yang Rui's rebirth. The top two spots in the entire server were occupied by Yang Rui and Dragon Soul. Moreover, the number of territories in the Three Kingdoms Civilization Region that had leveled up should be quite a lot, which was much faster than the other Civilization Regions.
There was no doubt that Yang Rui had played a big role in this. Revealing the hidden conditions of leveling up to Dragon Soul was only one of the factors. In fact, Yang Rui had played a big role in promoting the entire Yellow Turban Rebellion plot.
For example, Yang Rui's final move to kill Zhang Jiao had shortened the progress of the plot to a large extent. If it weren't for Yang Rui activating the Earth Level Talisman to keep up with his pace. It would have definitely dragged on for a period of time! Of course, Yang Rui's role in the plot could not be underestimated.
When Yang Rui returned to Mountain Town, night had already fallen. Wang Hai reported that Li Dong and the other Beginner Generals had already brought over 200 Second Grade soldiers to Level 30, which was the requirement to level up to Level 3. After using the skill books, they were in the barracks trying to understand how to level up. Moreover, over 30 of the soldiers had already succeeded in understanding how to level up to Level 3. It was likely that the rest of the soldiers would be able to level up successfully before the System Update.
One of the important reasons why Yang Rui was in a hurry to return to Mountain Town was because of these soldiers. He wanted to use the last bit of time before the System Update to use the Rebel Barracks to upgrade these newly promoted Level 3 soldiers to Level 4. This was to prevent the Rebel Barracks from losing its function after the System Update.
As the night deepened, Yang Rui continued to practice the Beginner Qi Mantra in the meeting room, hoping to increase his personal strength as soon as possible. However, when it was midnight, Yang Rui suddenly heard the sound of a flute. It sounded as if one was reminiscing about the lives of the common people. Gentle and deep, majestic but not contentious. It did not sound like the work of a woman!
After listening to the song, Yang Rui wanted to investigate the source of the sound. However, the sound of the flute stopped there and did not repeat itself! The next day, Yang Rui met with Wang Hai. When he occasionally asked about this matter, he was told that the sound of the flute came from the woman in white in Black Dragon Swamp. Yang Rui was immediately surprised.
However, there was not much time left, so Yang Rui did not dwell on this matter for too long. After a night of comprehension, the two hundred soldiers from before had all been upgraded to Level 3. Over a hundred of the Level 3 soldiers had been upgraded to Level 4 by Yang Rui at the Gourd Valley Bandit Camp in Mountain Town. The remaining sixty Level 3 archers had been brought by Yang Rui to Ma Zhuang Qiang Camp to be upgraded. Finally, at the last moment before the System Update, all two hundred soldiers had been upgraded to Level 4.
"System Announcement: Due to the conclusion of the first large-scale System Storyline of the various civilizations, the War of the Worlds game system will undergo a System Update in order to provide better services to the players. This System Update will last for three days in real life. During the System Update, the game's internal time will be suspended. For the specific details of the System Update, please check the game's internal forum after the System Update.
Five minutes after the System Announcement, the game's servers will be temporarily shut down. Players are requested to exit the game within five minutes. Those who do not exit the game within five minutes may cause a loss to the game's data. All losses incurred will be borne by the players themselves! "
Not long after Yang Rui brought the sixty Level 4 archers back to Mountain Town, the System Update announcement was made. Yang Rui only needed to settle the soldiers down before promptly exiting the game. The game's internal time was suspended during this System Update. There was no need to consider the development of the game during the System Update like before.
"Xiaohui, hurry up and wash up. Have something to eat. Let's go shopping. I'll make pickled fish, steamed fish, and braised carp for you in the afternoon!"
As the time in real life and in the game was 1: 12, Xiaohui only logged off a while after Yang Rui had logged off. By now, Yang Rui had already unfrozen the two bags of dumplings in the fridge and was waiting for Xiaohui.
"Okay! Big brother is the best! I'll go take a bath now! "
Xiaohui climbed out of the gaming cabin alone after logging off. She sat on the wheelchair and headed to the bathroom. Yang Rui had been paying attention to Xiaohui's actions throughout the entire process. He wanted to see if there were any changes in her actions compared to before. Unfortunately, he did not notice any difference.
"This brat!"
Yang Rui said casually. In truth, he was still a little disappointed. After Yang Rui handed the Foundational Neigong Technique – Soul to Xiaohui, he had been hoping for a miracle. He had hoped that this skill book would be able to strengthen her body in the real world. However, Yang Rui did not notice any signs of such a thing happening!
Xiaohui actually spent nearly half an hour leisurely before she finally came out of the bathroom.
"Hurry up, Xiaohui. The dumplings are almost cold!"
Yang Rui complained. However, his hands did not stop moving. He had already brought a bowl of dumplings to the dining table and placed it in front of Xiaohui.
"Xiaohui, the Foundational Neigong Technique – Soul skill book that I gave you … have you used it yet?"
Yang Rui couldn't help but ask as he looked at Xiao Hui, who was eating a bowl of dumplings with relish.
"… Ugh … I've used it!"
It could be said that Xiao Hui had been very obedient and lovable since she was young, but the way she ate was not worthy of praise.
"… Ugh … I've learned it, but I haven't improved much. The speed of my proficiency is too slow … Ugh … I've been busy fighting monsters recently! Hehehe, brother, I already have fifty Second Grade soldiers. "
Xiaohui replied. She did not stop eating the dumplings. However, with Xiaohui's explanation, Yang Rui felt a lot more relieved. There was a trace of hope in his heart. If it was as Xiaohui said, then it was very likely that the Foundational Neigong Technique had not started to take effect yet. It might not be ineffective in the future.
"Wow, I'm full! Let's get ready to go, brother? "
As she spoke, Xiaohui had already finished the bowl of dumplings. She was about to go wash the dishes, but Yang Rui snatched her away.
In fact, Yang Rui wanted to tell Xiao Hui about his speculation on the use of the Neigong Mantra. The best way was to show it to her, but he didn't know how to explain it to her. He was also worried that if his speculation wasn't correct, he would disappoint her, so he didn't say it.
After finishing the preparations, Yang Rui brought Xiaohui and went shopping for the whole afternoon. The money that Yang Rui had exchanged last time was enough. He bought all the clothes and shoes that Xiaohui liked. However, Xiaohui was used to living a hard life, so she was not willing to buy too many things. The prices were also very common.
When they passed by a few sales offices and second-hand houses, Yang Rui brought Xiaohui to take a look. Needless to say, Yang Rui really found a suitable second-hand house!
