Looking at the crowd before him, Zhang Mu was somewhat troubled. He naturally wanted to take in a vassal with better aptitude, but many people died in the calamity before their memories were awakened during their first reincarnation, leaving them with no room for maneuver. Having reincarnated once himself, he knew this all too well.
Therefore, it's impossible to judge who has the best aptitude right now, but vassals are still necessary because they need to be reincarnated constantly, and the affairs of the main world need to be managed by someone.
Secondly, he wanted to cultivate a publicly recognized reincarnated person, because those veteran reincarnated people were very resistant to new reincarnated people.
A strong chain of targeting has already formed, with previous reincarnators constantly suppressing those who follow them.
Therefore, even though he planned to remain hidden behind the scenes, he still hoped to create a vassal to confuse the previous reincarnated individuals.
Choosing a vassal for the first time was like picking a blind box; whether someone was good or bad would only be known later. Soon, he chose one person from among the crowd to be his vassal.
Her name is Xia Xuejiao, and in terms of appearance, Zhang Mu would give her a 90 out of 100 according to his own aesthetic standards.
He was considered one of the better-looking students in his class.
"Alright, I'll only take one, I won't consider the others for now."
Zhang Mu addressed the others.
The group wisely left.
The other four reincarnated individuals also only took in two or three vassals; having more vassals is not necessarily better.
Because they need to be raised, which requires a considerable amount of reincarnation points. They are not as powerful as Zhang Mu, who gets a million reincarnation points with each reincarnation.
They'd each earn around two or three thousand at most.
Seeing that they had made their choices, Yu Shi'an said, "The rest of you should not be discouraged. If you do not have any other reincarnated individuals to take you in, you can follow the school's arrangements. However... the chances of getting resources to nurture you are slim. At most, you can at least have enough to eat and avoid dying under the gray fog."
The others looked bitter; they had no other reincarnated beings to take them in.
They had no choice but to follow the school's arrangements, but soon, the reincarnated people who had been waiting around came forward to look for the person they wanted.
The students hesitated for a moment but then agreed.
In the end, only a dozen or so people who weren't particularly good-looking were left.
They looked utterly miserable. Why is it that every world judges people by their appearance?
Zhang Mu shook his head and decided not to linger any longer, choosing to leave.
Seeing this, Xia Xuejiao quickly followed, and the other reincarnated beings also left with their vassals.
The main world is vast, and each new reincarnated person has the right to choose a small plot of land to govern and clear away the gray fog.
Clearing the fog will also bring world rewards, though not many, but they last a long time.
On the way, Zhang Mu was studying the function of Level 9 access.
He quickly got a general understanding of the situation; there were three permissions.
First: You can get three more reincarnation opportunities each month.
Second: You can choose a better territory.
Thirdly, you have one opportunity each year to disqualify another reincarnated person from their status! (If you don't use it, it won't carry over to the next year.)
The first two were fine, but the third one made Zhang Mu's expression freeze. This was too much of a bug!
No wonder those first-generation reincarnators have been suppressing rising stars; they just want to firmly hold onto their hegemony.
Any reincarnated person with potential will have their identity revoked immediately upon discovery!
"As expected, I had to play it safe. Looks like my decision was right!"
Zhang Mu's eyes sharpened. This world was too cruel, beset by both external and internal troubles.
"Level nine is the lowest level of authority. I'm afraid those with higher authority could also strip me of my identity. I must raise my authority as soon as possible. Before that happens, let her show herself."
Zhang Mu glanced at Xia Xuejiao, who was following behind him.
"Um... Master Zhang, where do we go now?"
Xia Xuejiao said shyly.
"Go and choose a good territory."
Zhang Mu responded with a single sentence.
He touched the reincarnation mark on the back of his hand, and a holographic map appeared, which he then began to select from.
Having level nine privileges, you have more options for choosing locations and can select larger territories.
He quickly found a suitable place to hide.
"Come stand next to me."
Zhang Mu spoke up.
Upon hearing this, Xia Xuejiao ran forward and grabbed the hem of his clothes.
Zhang Mu then activated the teleportation function of the Reincarnation Mark.
"call out!"
As the space shifted, the two arrived at a large mountain.
This is a newly added territory in the main world, called the Ten Thousand Mountains, with an area of 100 million mu.
The remote location is perfect for peaceful development here.
"From now on, this is our territory. During this period, develop peacefully and don't go out and cause me any trouble unless there's something special going on. Do you understand?"
Zhang Mu looked at Xia Xuejiao.
"Understood, Master."
Xia Xuejiao nodded, looking around curiously.
Zhang Mu ignored the situation and began using reincarnation points to purchase buildings.
In the main world, every reincarnated person can enter the Heavenly Dao Mall to buy things.
For example, with buildings, once you purchase one, you only need to select a placement location, and the system will immediately generate it for you, without requiring any construction.
After spending over 100,000 reincarnation points, magnificent buildings began to appear all around.
Along with it are acres of spiritual fields and a spiritual spring.
In addition, he bought some puppet servants from the Heavenly Dao to help with daily cleaning and planting of fruits, vegetables, and spiritual rice.
Xia Xuejiao stared in shock at everything, which was beyond her comprehension. She knew that Zhang Mu had been reincarnated once.
The amount of wealth they've accumulated is outrageous. How much contribution must Zhang Mu have made during his first reincarnation to earn so many reincarnation points?
She suddenly felt somewhat fortunate to have become Zhang Mu's vassal. With such a powerful master, she at least didn't need to worry about her safety and might even have a chance to be reincarnated!
"Um...Master...I'll go cook for you first!"
Xia Xuejiao spoke up.
Zhang Mu nodded in approval. The room was well-furnished and had everything one could need.
Xia Xuejiao quickly prepared dinner.
The two sat at the table.
Xia Xuejiao served him carefully, afraid that Zhang Mu would be dissatisfied.
"There's no need for that, I'm not that delicate."
Zhang Mu took a sip of tea, picked up a piece of food, and tasted it. The taste was not bad.
"Eat up. From now on, you'll be in charge of cooking all three meals. Of course, when I'm reincarnated, you'll only need to cook your portion."
"Yes, thank you, Master."
Xia Xuejiao nodded and began to eat.
After the meal, Zhang Mu began to inquire about the reason why Xia Xuejiao's reincarnation failed: "Tell me about the general process of your previous reincarnation."
Xia Xuejiao said with a bitter expression, "I am much the same as the others. I died in the calamity before my memories were awakened. I had no chance to resist."
If the calamity was too great for her to overcome, that would be one thing, but she truly couldn't accept dying so inexplicably.
Zhang Mu couldn't help but feel fortunate that he had been bound to the system before his reincarnation.
"Um...Master...I need a favor..."
Xia Xuejiao stared longingly at Zhang Mu.
"Speak."
"It's just...it's just that, could you please give me one chance to be reincarnated in the future, just once! Of course, you can make me do whatever you want."
Xia Xuejiao pleaded, she did not want to die so peacefully.
She also knew that reincarnation opportunities were very precious, and that exchanging reincarnation points would cost a full 100,000 points for one reincarnation opportunity!
This is a huge expense!
