Chapter 674: Chapter 51 Dragon’s Mouth Village

However, before setting out, we need to find that hidden door first and clean it out.

Also, we need to calculate everyone’s points.

As Xiao Jie was contemplating this, the voice of Hidden Dragon Do Not Use rang out in the voice chat, "Team leader, should we have lunch first? It’s almost twelve o’clock."

Xiao Jie was stunned, lunch...

Well, Hidden Dragon Do Not Use is quite attentive.

He no longer has a vital need for food now, so oftentimes, he completely forgets about the concept of eating.

But that’s true, ordinary players still need to eat. Xiao Jie looked at the time and then said in the voice chat, "If anyone’s hungry, just grab something to eat. Those who are done eating or not eating, come with me. Let’s find the hidden door first, clean it up, and then set off."

Immediately, a bunch of people followed him. Not everyone is in the mood to eat when playing games.

Xiao Jie led the team straight to the village chief’s mansion. Since Old Liu emerged from there, the hidden door was likely near the village chief’s mansion.

To be precise, it was underneath the mansion.

A few people circled the ruins of the village chief’s mansion, digging here and there, and indeed found an inconspicuous cellar door with a large copper lock hanging on it.

Xiao Jie used the Hidden Door Key on the copper lock, and with a click, the lock on the door opened.

Xiao Jie glanced around and suddenly had an idea.

"There might be dangers inside this cellar, so now we need a volunteer to go down and scout. Considering the potential dangers—20 points for the task. Who wants to sign up?"

"I’ll go!"

"I’ll go!"

"Let me do it!"

Several people immediately volunteered. Xiao Jie pretended to deliberate and looked over them, "Hmm, Cheng Xian has the most health and the highest defense, Cheng Xian, you go."

His words were met with some disappointed grumbles.

But Xiao Jie remained unmoved. Opportunities like this for bonus points should naturally be reserved for the brothers. Besides, based on Xiao Jie’s inference, there wouldn’t be any danger down there. Saying there’s danger was just a pretext for giving out points.

Besides, I Want to Be Immortal really did have the highest health and defense among them. Sending his own people to handle things that held theoretical danger was also a way of taking care of teammates.

With a creak, the hidden door opened, revealing a pitch-black passage. I Want to Be Immortal jumped down without hesitation.

Sure enough, after a few seconds, I Want to Be Immortal’s voice came up, "It’s safe down here."

Only then did Xiao Jie lead the rest down. It was a storage area used for hoarding supplies—filled with pottery jars, large urns, wooden boxes, and racks.

However, as Xiao Jie checked each item with his mouse, what displayed was—

An empty urn.

An empty jar.

An empty wooden box...

The mouse hovered over each item revealing that they were all empty.

It seemed this village really did run out of food back in the day.

This cellar was clearly used for storing food supplies, and yet, there was nothing of value to be found in such a large storeroom.

That was until he clicked on a wooden rack and suddenly an item popped up. It was something akin to a contract, filled with text.

[State Mansion IOU (Voucher)

Use: Can be exchanged for silver at the State Mansion.

Item Introduction: Hereby, Liushudi Village borrows from the State Mansion 300 bundles of grain, 200 taels of silver, 10 sets of armor, 10 spears, 10 knives, two oxen, three horses, totaling 1000 taels of silver. This voucher stands as evidence, witnessed by heaven and earth, allowing the holder to exchange the voucher for the owed silver at the State Mansion treasury at a later date.

Longhua Empire Year 1798.]

Behind it was the seal of the State Governor.

My goodness, what a find! 1000 silver taels; this is a fortune!

Xiao Jie estimated that this IOU must be a few hundred years old. The only question was whether the current State Governor would still honor it.

In any case, he’d find out when the time came.

Without hesitation, he pocketed the voucher. If it really could be exchanged for silver, he could directly give out silver when it came time for team members to exchange points later on.

Back on the surface, players were finishing up their meals. After all, it’s game time, so a quick bite was enough.

Xiao Jie announced his discovery, which immediately provoked a cheer from everyone.

"We’re not sure if the silver can be exchanged yet, so don’t get too excited. Are you all finished eating? Let’s calculate the points, and then we can set off."

The points were quickly tallied. In this recapture operation, Dida La definitely made a significant contribution.

Eliminating a large number of tree puppets +30 points, dealing massive damage to the Willow Tree God +30 points.

An Ran used Heavenly Net to cover the team’s retreat, controlling the Willow Tree God +30 points.

I Want to Be Immortal took the risk of scouting the cellar +20 points.

Xia Yi the Unrivaled, Jiu Jianxian, performed well against the Little Monsters, +10 points each.

Strawberry Coke interrupted the Tree God’s use of Divine Skills, +30 points.

Haoye Xinghe summoned a spirit and found the temple +30 points...

All players involved in the recapture of the village got +10 points for attendance...

With a round of bonus points awarded, it was once again Xiao Jie’s Core Team that took the lion’s share.

However, no one objected. Everyone saw each other’s performance—who was making greater effort and who was slacking off was clear. If you want points, you’d have to fight for them.

Hidden Moon Following Wind: Little White Dragon, how’s the recruitment of refugees on your end?

Little White Dragon: Almost done, recruited over two hundred people. We’ll continue to recruit slowly from now on.

Hidden Moon Following Wind: Then come to Liushudi Village. We’re starting to recruit refugees here too.

Once Little White Dragon arrived, Xiao Jie had him use the Refugee Order immediately, and a large number of refugees began appearing around Liushudi Village.

After arranging follow-up tasks, Xiao Jie gave the order, and the team set off once again.
