Chapter Twenty-One: Continuing the Deception



"What is the most glorious thing in this world?" Wang Xiaoyi asked the bandits.

The bandits were now caught up in Wang Xiaoyi's emotions and fell into deep thought.

"Of course, labor is the most glorious!"

"Robbery is wrong! The essence of robbery is merely the transfer of wealth; the wealth itself does not increase."

"The most glorious thing is to continuously create wealth with your own hands!"

Wang Xiaoyi roared loudly on the martial arts stage.

"The boss is right, labor is the most glorious!" Wang Ergou led the chant.

"Labor is the most glorious!" shouted more than a hundred bandits in unison.

When Wang Xiaoyi clicked on the population details in the [Territory Information] interface, he discovered that the bandits under his command did not have a primary job, but many of them had secondary jobs.

The secondary occupations of bandits were also varied, including carpenters, miners, bricklayers, blacksmiths, tailors, hunters, and so on.

"Very good, very spirited!" Wang Xiaoyi heard the bandits' chants after their brainwashing and knew that he could proceed to the next step of the plan.

"That's more like it! Now let's begin today's division of labor!"

"Carpenters, step forward for your side professions!"

At Wang Xiaoyi's command, more than a dozen bandits stepped forward and stood in a row.

"Now, please state your carpentry talent and talent level."

"Li Gou Dan, E-level talent: Intermediate Lumbering Lv2".

"Wang Ermazi, D-level talent: Advanced Logging Lv1".

...

Wang Xiaoyi selected the bandit with the highest talent level from among the carpenters to be the squad leader of the logging team.

"The Azure Heaven is dead, the Yellow Heaven shall rise! In the year of Jiazi, great fortune will come to the world!"

"From this day forward, you are no longer bandits, but members of the Yellow Turban Army - Lumberjack Division!"

As the saying goes, "If you want to get rich, start by cutting down trees!"

"Your mission is of great significance, and you bear a heavy responsibility!"

"Charge! The future belongs to you!"

"Go to the warehouse, pick up the [logging saw], and go realize your ambitions!"

Wang Xiaoyi is having a grand opening sale today, pouring chicken soup for the soul and giving it all the energy he could!

After a series of reckless persuasions, Wang Xiaoyi discovered through the [Territory Information] interface that the loyalty of many bandits had reached 100.

Next, Wang Xiaoyi followed the same method and successively completed the appointments for the Yellow Turban Army's Mining Department, Construction Department, Equipment Department, Hunting Department, and Logistics Department.

All the bandits performed their duties, and the entire camp began to operate in an orderly manner.

Wang Xiaoyi changed the name of his territory from "Black Wind Stronghold" to "Yellow Turban Stronghold" in the [Territory Interface]!

[Ding! You have obtained 2000 Blue Dark Wood in your territory!]

[Ding! Your territory has gained 200 Iron (Blue)!]

[Ding! You have obtained 20 Excellent Wild Boar Hides (Blue) in your territory!]

[Ding! Your territory has gained 2000 copper coins!]

...

System messages about territory information began to flood the screen.

Wang Xiaoyi was pleasantly surprised to find that the passive skill effect of his [100% Drop Rate] system would also be obtained by his bandits.

With the combined blessings of [Wealth Flowing Lv2] and [Materials Expert Lv2], the wealth of [Yellow Turban Village] began to accumulate rapidly.

Seeing that everything was on track, Wang Xiaoyi first entered the stone warehouses on the left and right sides of the Hall of Righteousness.

[Ding! Fabric (white) detected!]

"This is useless, I have a whole bunch more in my backpack."

[Ding! Found 1000 pieces of Refined Iron (Purple)!]

"This is great for starting out. I'm already level 16, it's time to prepare materials for upgrading my weapon to level 20!"

Without saying a word, Wang Xiaoyi put the refined iron into his backpack. As the saying goes, it's better to have it in your pocket than to leave it untouched.

[Ding! Food (white) detected!]

...

It took Wang Xiaoyi a full hour to successfully loot both warehouses. All the valuable materials were taken and put into Wang Xiaoyi's backpack.

"That's strange. There are quite a lot of supplies in these warehouses, but why haven't we found any gold coins?"

During his search, Wang Xiaoyi only found a few copper coins; he didn't find a single silver or gold coin.

Wang Xiaoyi's gaze fell on the golden prop in the backpack.

Name: [Key to the Secret Passage of Black Wind Stronghold]

Quality: [Golden Legend]

Description: [Use the key to enter the secret passage of Black Wind Stronghold, where the wealth accumulated over many years by the three leaders of Black Wind Stronghold is hidden!]

Without saying a word, Wang Xiaoyi entered the three-story stone house and headed towards the bandits' treasure!

The first floor's "Hall of Gathering Righteousness" was very spacious, and Wang Xiaoyi searched for a long time but could not find the secret passage.

The second floor was the room of the second and third leaders. Wang Xiaoyi searched for half an hour but found nothing.

The third floor was the chief's room. Wang Xiaoyi searched for a full hour and a half before finally finding the secret passage behind the weapon rack.

The stone houses are built against the mountain, and the secret passages are carved out of the mountain.

Wang Xiaoyi lit the torch he found in the warehouse, used the key to open the door to the secret passage, and prepared to enter.

The secret passage was about 2 meters high and half a meter wide. After walking about 50 meters, Wang Xiaoyi found himself in a 20-square-meter room.

Half of the room was filled with gold coins, and the glint of the coins reflected in the firelight made it impossible for Wang Xiaoyi to open his eyes!

[Ding! Gold coins found!]

Wang Xiaoyi was struck dumb, standing there in a daze!

"gold!"

"Converted to RMB, this is..." Wang Xiaoyi couldn't calculate it for a moment, so he subconsciously started counting on his fingers.

"It's...it's five million!"

It was truly like a bolt from the blue; Wang Xiaoyi suddenly became a wealthy man!

Wang Xiaoyi immediately seized all the gold coins for himself, and his wealth reached an outrageous level at this time.

Wealth Value: 45 Gold Coins, 200 Silver Coins!

Wang Xiaoyi took several deep breaths before gradually calming himself down.

"You're making tens of thousands a day now, stay calm!" Wang Xiaoyi tried to reassure himself.

"Holy crap! I'm rich now, this is five million!"

"Even in Bei'an City, I could buy a decent house!" Wang Xiaoyi couldn't contain his excitement and jumped up and down in the secret passage.

"Ouch, that hurts so much!"

Overjoyed, Wang Xiaoyi crashed into a rock above the secret passage, his head making intimate contact with the stone.

After a while, Wang Xiaoyi finally calmed down, collected his thoughts, and looked at the room at the end of the secret passage.

Without the gold coins obscuring his view, Wang Xiaoyi immediately saw a huge red treasure chest in the center of the room.

Blood-red light surrounded the treasure chest, and when Wang Xiaoyi approached it, he could even hear the roar of a dragon!

Without saying a word, Wang Xiaoyi immediately used the system's active skill, [Chosen One Lv2].

The moment the treasure chest was opened, a sudden change occurred, and Wang Xiaoyi was caught off guard and directly pulled into an ancient secret realm!
