Chapter Forty-Six
Chapter Forty-Six
The next morning, Xiao Liunian went to the kitchen and used His Majesty's privilege to have exclusive access to the kitchen. He made all sorts of delicious-looking snacks to appease the cat.
"Meow! Meow! Meow!" A series of meows came from the cat, indicating that the snacks not only looked delicious but also suited the cat's taste. Under the influence of this delicious meal, the human and the cat resumed their friendly coexistence.
While the cat ate without even looking up, Xiao Liunian pulled up a map and a diagram of relationships between figures in the Yuan Dynasty, pondering the geographical locations and important figures in the Yuan Dynasty that could be utilized.
This time, perhaps fewer people will die. After all, life is precious, and every little bit helps.
After the cat finished eating, Xiao Liunian regained the right to pet the cat.
Afterwards, Xiao Liunian sent someone to inform Cen Jin to come to the main tent for a meeting.
"I have decided to lead men to infiltrate Gabe City," Xiao Liunian said. To catch the thief, first catch the king; Xiao Liunian decided to deal with the most key figure in the area.
Xiao Liunian had done this before when he was alive, but the ending was not good; he died very quickly.
However, Xiao Liunian was somewhat persistent, trying again and again until he could barely estimate the full strength of the foreign invaders before he began to plan his next move.
"Your Majesty, how many men do you need to take? I will arrange it immediately." Since the start of the war, this emperor has rarely expressed his opinions when participating in discussions.
He always sat casually in the main seat, hardly getting involved in any military affairs. Who knew that the first time he was summoned, he would be given such a shocking plan.
"I have the personnel in mind. After I leave, make sure to guard the border and not let the enemy set foot on our land!"
"Your Majesty, rest assured, we will die ten thousand deaths to ensure that the enemy troops do not set foot on our land and harm our people," Cen Jin promised with his life.
"It's better to live than to die! The enemy leader is highly skilled, perhaps only slightly inferior to me. In addition, there are several experts at least at the Transcendental Level who haven't made a move yet. These people are always very arrogant, and ordinary people are nothing but ants in their eyes. They won't make a move for the time being," Xiao Liunian said.
Xiao Liunian was defeated by these people many times. On one occasion when he was on the verge of death, he was given the protagonist's privilege and was able to plunder the power of others.
"Your Majesty, please reconsider! If the enemy already has so many experts, then there will only be more in Gabe City," Cen Jin advised. No matter how powerful Your Majesty is, things could easily go wrong.
"General Cen, rest assured, I am not about to lose my life in Gabe City." Given the chance, Xiao Liunian would still like to give it a try.
"Your subject will certainly lead the army to defend Wuzhou!" Cen Jin promised once again.
After leaving the main tent, Xiao Liunian first went to a famous teahouse in Wuzhou City.
"Please come in, sir!" Although the battlefield was still some distance from Wuzhou City, the city was still rather deserted. There were far fewer customers in the teahouse, and the tables in the main hall were almost all empty.
"Waiter, tell your boss someone wants to see him." Xiao Liunian tossed out a gold ingot.
"Sir, please have a seat in the private room upstairs. I'll go fetch the owner right away." The waiter led Xiao Liunian to the private room and disappeared in a flash.
"When you're out in the world, money is the most important thing!" The system cat jumped onto the table. Today, the cat had a Maine Coon skin. Judging from its fluffy fur, the furry child looked very majestic and powerful.
"Money isn't the most important thing. Thirteen, you are the most important. If it weren't for the storage function, it would be difficult to store so many gold and silver coins!" Xiao Liunian blatantly flattered the little boy.
Hmph! The Maine Coon cat arrogantly turned its head slightly to the right. Of course this system is powerful!
"Guest, our boss will be here shortly!" The waiter returned with tea and snacks, and placed the gold coin that Xiao Liunian had just given him on the table.
"Sir, our boss won't allow it..." The waiter's eyes were fixed on the gold cake.
"No need to be polite!" Xiao Liunian pushed the gold cake back to the waiter.
"Thank you, sir! Please enjoy your meal. Our boss will be here shortly!" The waiter's hand moved like a phantom to retrieve the gold ingots from the table, and then he disappeared as quickly as the wind, closing the door to the private room.
"This waiter is a real talent!" The cat blinked, looking at the closed door, its love for money so great and so quick.
"This is called the Golden Shadowless Step!" Xiao Liunian had learned about this gossip passively before.
“This name suits you perfectly!” the Maine Coon cat nodded in affirmation.
Just as Xiao Liunian was about to agree with the Maine Coon, there was a loud knocking on the door of the private room.
"Go!" Xiao Liunian lowered his voice, instantly switching to a calm and reliable mode.
"I heard that the guest wishes to see me. May I ask what brings you here?" The man was dressed in a dark blue robe, his hair was simply tied up, and his long hair ribbons fluttered in the wind, giving him the appearance of a scholar.
Judging from his appearance, the phrases "well-read and gentle" seem quite fitting for the visitor.
"May I ask how the guest is addressed?" The visitor stopped in front of Xiao Liunian and gave a simple bow.
"Mumu, this isn't that storyteller!!!" Meow meow meow!
"The guest's kitten is quite adorable," said Mr. Mu, the storyteller and teahouse owner, praising the meowing kitten beside him.
"Of course!" Xiao Liunian hugged the furry child to his arms, rubbed the child's ears, and expressed his approval.
"Mr. Mu, please have a seat!" Xiao Liunian said.
"I have come here today to ask Mr. Mu for a favor." Xiao Liunian then handed the jade pendant that he had used to deceive Cen Mo to Mr. Mu.
"May I refuse?" Mr. Mu took the jade pendant, examined it, and then returned it to Xiao Liunian.
“Of course!” Xiao Liunian has never liked to force people to do things they don’t want to do.
Mr. Mu didn't know how to respond. Normally, people would say "no," so how could they continue the conversation like this?
"In that case, I'll take my leave!" Xiao Liunian picked up the cat and prepared to leave.
"Please wait a moment, sir. What is it that you need my help with?" Mr. Mu quickly said, trying to persuade him to stay.
“Mr. Mu’s cultivation is extraordinary, and the Mu family is a reclusive family. How could they not know why I have come?” Xiao Liunian said. How could the head of the Mu family not guess such a thing?
"Your Majesty! Mu Yi has been rude!" Mu Yi stood up and bowed.
"Mr. Mu, you must have witnessed the terror of the enemy on the battlefield two days ago." Many of the enemy's soldiers required ten times the manpower of our army to kill.
Especially the route guarded by Cen Jin, where the enemy's fighting strength was the strongest. If it weren't for Suo Jun and Mu Yi leading their clansmen to take action, the casualties of the Wuzhou army would have been several times greater than they are now.
“This is no longer a simple war between two countries, which is why I have come here to invite Mr. Mu to go to Gabe City to solve the problem at its root!” Xiao Liunian said.
"Does Your Majesty intend to directly kill the outsiders?" Mu Yi confirmed.
If Mu Yi's guess is correct, the outsiders should have reopened the passage to Tianji Star, and this passage is located within the territory of Yuan Dynasty.
The fact that these ordinary soldiers' combat power has increased several times over is probably related to the 'elixir of immortality' recorded in the family's collection of books.
However, the book states that this medicine can only be produced in limited quantities and cannot be used in large quantities; otherwise, our ancestors would probably not have been able to win.
When time was the barrier against invaders, and the ancestors were almost all wiped out, they no longer had the strength to face the people of their own country who had been transformed by the 'elixir'.
However, given the skill level of the Yuan Dynasty soldiers, this 'elixir' can now be used on a large scale, and if it is allowed to continue, the consequences will be unimaginable.
His Majesty was fully aware of the matter, which is why he wanted to solve the problem at its root.
This is indeed a straightforward yet most effective strategy!
"I am willing to accompany Your Majesty on this journey!" Mu Yi said.
"Thank you! I promise that I will never let Mr. Mu die in Gabe City!" Xiao Liunian said.
"Live if you can, die if you can't, that's all!" Mu Yi didn't care about life or death; he was already grateful to be able to contribute.
“There is one more person who will be going with us,” Xiao Liunian said.
"Is Your Majesty referring to the owner of an inn?" Mu Yi asked. The inn's name was "No Place for Gods and Ghosts."
"In that case, I'll trouble Mr. Mu to go and invite the innkeeper here!" Xiao Liunian asked for his opinion symbolically.
"Your Majesty is too kind!" Mu Yi regretted his loose tongue.
"Then let's meet here again tomorrow night at the beginning of the 7 PM hour. I'll take my leave now!" Xiao Liunian picked up the cat; this time, he was really leaving.
"Mumu, are you really sure?" The system sensed that the host was actively moving towards death.
"Let's give it a try." Unlike before, Xiao Liunian wanted to wipe out the existing outsiders in one fell swoop, and then give Tianji Star more breathing time, or rather, give Jinling more time, after all, Jinling's position on Tianji Star is special.
"Mumu, have you ever heard of 'try it and you'll die'?" The system didn't want to dampen the enthusiasm at all, but its strength was undeniable.
"Death is unlikely. If we fail, we still have the teleportation function, right? Escaping won't be a problem then." Xiao Liunian used his points to upgrade the teleportation function to the highest version and also bought two extra tickets.
Fortunately, I accumulated enough points.
"Alright." The system cat stopped trying to persuade Xiao Liunian. Let him go. If things don't go well, it will activate its teleportation function to quickly take the host away.
"Let's go, let's find a sunny place for our last-minute training," Xiao Liunian said. There's always some truth to the saying, "Sharpening your sword before battle, even if it's not sharp, will still make it shine."
At the same time, Xiao Liunian also wanted to test the actual effect of the teleportation function upgraded to the highest version. If the system malfunctioned at that time, he would definitely die in an embarrassing situation.
Xiao Liunian clicked the teleport skill, selected a destination, and three seconds later, Xiao Liunian disappeared from the spot and appeared on a mountain. Instantly, the cat grabbed Xiao Liunian's clothes tightly. This mountain is so steep! If you fall off it, you will die a horrible death.
"The book says that cultivation is more effective in places with beautiful scenery and abundant resources!" Xiao Liunian once scoffed at the environmental theory.
Firstly, they are too busy to find any high mountains, and secondly, some hermit clans cultivate in the deep mountains, but their level is only average.
Secondly, Xiao Liunian believed that cultivation was more about cultivating oneself. As long as one's will is firm, one can cultivate anywhere.
"Go back to your space first." Xiao Liunian stroked the Maine Coon's bristling fur, realizing for the first time that the cat was afraid of heights.
"I will keep an eye on you in the space at all times. If you fall, I will activate the teleportation function to move you to flat ground so you won't fall!" The little boy disappeared with a whoosh and then searched the space for a bit.
"Thank you, System Master! My safety is in your hands!" Xiao Liunian further increased the level of the steps.
"Okay, I'll take care of it!" the cat vowed.
Xiao Liunian's meditation lasted a very long time this time. When the red sun set in the west, the white moon covered the earth like silver, and then the red light spread across the earth and began to disappear bit by bit, Xiao Liunian finally opened his eyes.
"Let's go, we have an appointment at 7 PM." Xiao Liunian summoned the cat from his spatial storage.
"How is it? Is the spiritual energy of this mountain useful?" the system asked anxiously.
“Go check the points,” Xiao Liunian said.
The system shows that the points have increased by one trillion, which is one trillion!
The system was once again impressed by Xiao Liunian's cultivation speed, which was beyond description.
At this point, Xiao Liunian himself overlooked another invisible factor—his state of mind. Before this, Xiao Liunian lived alone in this world, searching for his way home in solitude.
Because she was surrounded by conspiracies and schemes at the beginning of the game, she died many times without realizing it. So, Xiao Liunian spent a lot of time thinking about how to survive and find a way home.
Xiao Liunian kept working hard and moving forward, but forgot to stop and take a break.
The appearance of the furry child played a subtle yet crucial role in Xiao Liunian's state of mind.
