Chapter 102: The Big Secret Seems to Be Discovered
Xu Xiaofeng snuck out of the city and arrived at the new Blue Moon Village, right at that big mountain cave.
The villagers had been up and ready for a while, just waiting for Xu Xiaofeng to show up.
Sixty of them lined up neatly in two rows on either side, while the rest of the villagers gathered not too far away to watch.
As soon as Xu Xiaofeng appeared, everyone shouted in unison, “Big Sister Leader, hello!”
Xu Xiaofeng had no choice but to cover her face as she walked up, “Hello, everyone.”
She had mentioned this a few times already, but these folks just wouldn’t listen. They keep saying something about professionalism and rules being rules.
Honestly, Xu Xiaofeng felt completely helpless.
She was starting to get used to it, but this time the numbers had doubled, and with the other villagers cheering them on, the pressure was immense. Her awkwardness was back!
“We’re changing our profession this time; now we’re the village guardians and soldiers. So stop calling me Big Sister Leader and just call me General directly.”
“Okay, Big Sister Leader!”
“Not… did you all not understand?”
“Got it! Big Sister Leader!”
Forget it. There’s no hope now!
Xu Xiaofeng waved her hand dramatically and said sternly, “Let’s go to the training ground.”
She didn’t care how they viewed her or what they called her; first, she had to treat herself like a real general.
So, the general was led off by her soldiers…
She had no clue where she was going!
Before long, they arrived at the training ground.
It called a training ground, but it was just a rarely visited patch of flat land on the mountaintop.
The spot was high enough for a good view, allowing them to spot any approaching enemies well in advance, plus they could keep an eye on their mountain cave without being noticed.
Xu Xiaofeng pulled out “Golden Army Formation” and began explaining to the villagers.
She had skimmed through the book beforehand and found the content so easy that you could learn it in a snap—too simple! She came here for some practical training to see if she had truly absorbed it.
But she also knew her situation was unique, so she had to ease up a bit. The villagers would definitely find it harder than she did, so she went through it one by one.
The villagers listened to Xu Xiaofeng’s explanations and tried to understand it themselves.
Then they realized, what is this, some kind of ancient scripture? Is this even something a person can write? Can people actually learn this?
Though they were just villagers with a low level of education, they could still grasp general ideas.
But now the problem was, why is everything you’re saying so convoluted?
What does “ten encircle, five attack, be doubled to divide, battle when encountering foes, flee when few, avoid when none” even mean?
I can’t make heads or tails of this!
Xu Xiaofeng tilted her head, “Isn’t this just Wen Yanwen?”
“Big Sister Leader, what’s Wen Yanwen?”
“Wen Yanwen is… holy cow! This is Wen Yanwen!”
Xu Xiaofeng gasped and quickly flipped through the other pages, realizing they were all in Wen Yanwen.
The issue was that when she read it, everything made perfect sense, and she didn’t even notice the problem.
Now she realized, this was a huge problem!
So, Golden Kingdom uses Wen Yanwen? Just like Huaxia Kingdom?
If this were an ordinary game, treating this like a menu would be just fine. But this game was no walk in the park!
She tucked this thought away and closed the book, standing up. “Forget the theory; let’s just practice.”
Upon hearing this, the villagers sighed in relief.
When it’s time to move, let’s not think too much!
Xu Xiaofeng spent the entire morning training with them.
She didn’t explain anything; she just showed them formations, steps, and how to coordinate.
Just pure practice!
“Remember, when you encounter a situation like this, don’t worry about anything else; just follow this process. Even against legendary… ahem, emerald, uh, let’s stick with gold. Against a gold-level opponent, you can still confuse them like this.”
The villagers might not turn as quickly, but they had one major advantage.
They listened, especially to their Big Sister Leader.
Confuse and conquer!
Xu Xiaofeng drilled ten formations that morning, then let them practice on their own in the afternoon.
She had to head to the Qingfeng Chamber of Commerce later to check on the equipment. She had an appointment with President Harry yesterday.
After making her way through a tightly secured lab, Xu Xiaofeng arrived at the Qingfeng Chamber of Commerce headquarters, showed her VIP token, and finally revealed herself in the president’s office.
Harry, understanding Xu Xiaofeng was hiding her identity, wasn’t surprised. After a few casual exchanges, he brought her to the warehouse to check out the goods.
“Miss Wind, our chamber has special channels. This batch of equipment comes from master craftsmen, and the quality is top-notch. Please take a look.”
Hearing this, Xu Xiaofeng became a bit intrigued and opened one of the boxes.
Wow! Gold… blue rarity.
She glanced at the stats.
This… is this just pure trash?
Xu Xiaofeng shot Harry a look, “Are you kidding me?”
Harry immediately opened another box, “You can take a look at this one too.”
Blue gear, slightly better than the last, but still trash.
Opened another—still trash.
After opening ten boxes filled with trash, Xu Xiaofeng crossed her arms and pouted, not saying a word.
Though she hadn’t expected anything great from here, this stuff was worse than what Fat Wang had! Could this even be called equipment?
Her dissatisfaction was plain as day, making Harry grit his teeth and clap his hands.
“Miss Wind, please wait a moment; we have one last piece of equipment for you to see.”
After a bit of waiting, a noticeably more exquisite box was brought in.
She glanced at Harry, then reached out to open the box.
Purple light spilled out from the opening. Of course, Harry couldn’t see that light.
Oh wow! Purple gear!
Xu Xiaofeng’s heart skipped a beat.
Sure enough, this old trickster has something after all, but he just wouldn’t show it right away; he had to try to mess with me first.
This was indeed Harry’s train of thought.
After all, this was a prized possession; he couldn’t just take it out easily. If the previous items managed to satisfy the customer, he could get them to spend some cash first.
Once the money was spent and the account settled, he could bring out the real treasure. That’s just smart business!
But Xu Xiaofeng had sharp eyes; she wasn’t falling for it.
She carefully examined the purple gear’s stats and could only say it was standard—nothing eye-catching. But at least it was purple gear; the grade was there.
However, the gear was standardized, lacking a bit of flair.
“President Harry, can you find a suitable enchanter?”
“Miss Wind wants enchantments? But exceptional enchanters, especially for epic gear, are hard to find…”
“I want all of these pieces of equipment. Can you find one?”
“All of them? Miss Wind, these are just samples; we have hundreds of each in stock…”
“Yep, I’ll take all of them. Also, those unopened pieces of junk, I’ll take those as well. So, can you find an enchanter?”
Harry immediately stood tall, executing a perfect 90-degree bow, “Of course, no problem! My esteemed lady.”
Look at that, saying “I want all of them” sounds so domineering!
