Chapter 4: [Yellow Dragon Token]

Each level of the Village Establishment Token has different base attributes, and the higher the level, the better the attribute bonuses. This is something every player knows.

"I can't believe I got this token! I will definitely make the most of this opportunity. China, wait for me!!"

Lin Mu was confident that this was the legendary Divine Village Establishment Token.

However, around the token, there were swirling rays of light, like a dragon, forming an impenetrable shield.

"How can there be a shield?" Lin Mu's face darkened slightly.

Nevertheless, he placed his hand on the shield, wanting to check its attributes.

Unexpectedly, his hand passed through the shield and grabbed the floating token!

At the same time, a familiar system notification sounded in his ear:

"——Ding"

"——System Notice: Player Lin Mu, congratulations on obtaining the [Yellow Dragon Token]!"

Although there was only this one notification, Lin Mu's heart was filled with a tidal wave of shock.

It wasn't a Village Establishment Token!

Disappointment overwhelmed him, and he felt bitter, having guessed wrong.

However, the name alone suggested it was extraordinary. [Yellow Dragon Token], could it summon a divine dragon?

Holding the token, which felt like a soaring dragon, his hands trembled, and Lin Mu was deeply moved.

"Being able to summon a divine dragon must be pretty amazing, don't be ungrateful..." Lin Mu thought to himself.

However, when Lin Mu checked the attributes, he found he was wrong again. It was still a Village Establishment Token, just with a different name, and he had been ignorant.

Name: [Yellow Dragon Token]

Rank: Divine

Characteristics: City Heart, Unique Special Item

Special Attribute 1: [Earth Virtue] (Unactivated): The Yellow Dragon belongs to Earth, symbolizing auspiciousness. It thrives with the dragon veins and requires them to exist. In areas with dragon veins, the land is blessed and can become a初级灵地 (初级灵地 means "初级" (initial) + "灵地" (spiritual land), which can be translated as "initial spiritual land"). The territory must have dragon veins to benefit from this blessing.

Special Attribute 2: [Cultural Glory] (Unactivated): Bestow blessings from heaven, cultivate virtue, and promote peace within the realm.

Special Attribute 3: [Human Blessing] (Unactivated): Bestow blessings upon all, making everyone as strong as a dragon. The innate qualities of the citizens in the territory increase by one level.

Special Attribute 4: [Nüwa's Favor] (Unactivated): The great deity Nüwa bestows the power to transform into a celestial dragon, dominating the world and gathering the energy of heaven and earth. The overall attributes of the resources in the territory increase by 100%.

This was the item his former boss had spent countless resources to obtain, and it was indeed miraculous.

It was far more powerful than any territory attribute token Lin Mu had seen before.

The secrets of the [Yellow Dragon Token] were still unknown to him, and he needed to explore them gradually.

Lin Mu was now in a state of immense joy, like a roller coaster, with ups and downs, but fortunately, it ended in joy.

He wanted to put the token in his backpack, but the system notified him that it couldn't be placed there. Reluctantly, he had to keep it close to his body, which made him feel a bit more at ease.

A player's backpack has 6x6=36 slots, with each slot capable of holding up to 99 units of an item. For example, if it's food, each slot can hold 99 units of food.

Patting the [Yellow Dragon Token] in his arms, which was shining with countless brilliant lights, Lin Mu was overjoyed.

However, Lin Mu quickly suppressed his excitement, as he was not yet completely safe.

Looking around, there were still many treasures, equipment, and resources, but Lin Mu dared not take any more, nor could he. The strange items were protected by bubble-like yellow auras.

These auras felt incredibly resilient and could not be quickly broken.

As for the situation with the [Yellow Dragon Token], Lin Mu was still unclear.

"Hiss!" Lin Mu's pupils suddenly contracted. Just then, a sharp aura locked onto him, making him feel as if he had fallen into an ice cave!

He had to run, and run fast!

He needed to escape from this place immediately. If the Yinglong returned and killed him, the [Yellow Dragon Token] in his arms would drop, leading to a tragic end.

Moreover, he hoped there would be no unexpected situations in the future when establishing his village.

After checking the attributes of the [Yellow Dragon Token], Lin Mu immediately turned and ran, although he read the description quickly, the entire process took only a few dozen seconds.

Lin Mu needed to get down the mountain, and he needed to do it immediately.

Based on the map from his previous life, there were many paths up the mountain, but to avoid the Yinglong and reach the ideal location for establishing his territory, [Yinglong Valley], there was only one path to take.

Following the winding mountain path, Lin Mu ran and jumped without stopping, using his maximum speed, even using all his strength, his feet moving like the wind.

The Yinglong's return was quick, and it had already been several dozen seconds. Lin Mu was unsure if the Yinglong always returned at regular intervals, so he decided to be cautious.

He ran along the familiar path toward Yinglong Valley...

The Yinglong was now incredibly large, blocking the sky and covering the sun, soaring for thousands of miles. For some reason, when Lin Mu later fought it, the Yinglong seemed much smaller, almost like a different dragon, and the reason was unknown.

Even with the weaker Yinglong, it took countless resources to defeat it.

The current Yinglong was like a god, dominating China, and its presence was overwhelming.

If it discovered a mere human thief had entered its lair and stolen something, it might swallow Lin Mu whole or tear him apart.

Thinking of this, Lin Mu's steps seemed even faster, moving like the wind.

While running, Lin Mu felt as if someone was watching him, his back prickling, but he wasn't sure if it was just a hallucination.

However, Lin Mu chose to ignore this feeling.

This was a precious opportunity, and he had to seize it. Even if the Yinglong returned and killed him, he would not regret it.

In his previous life, he had heard of many players sneaking up to try to steal, but they all failed.

After running for nearly an hour, Lin Mu looked around and saw the same dense forest and mist, as if nothing had changed. The scenery on the massive Yinglong Peak was vast, and although he had run far, he was still far from his destination.

Suddenly, a huge shadow covered the mountain, and Lin Mu's body was also covered.

He knew the Yinglong had returned and immediately held his breath, hiding in the grass, not daring to move, to avoid being noticed by the massive figure.

To the Yinglong, he was like an ant.

He hoped the Yinglong wouldn't notice this ant, and he kept reassuring himself.

After what seemed like a long time, the shadow passed, and it seemed the Yinglong hadn't noticed him.

If it had, a single breath could have blown Lin Mu away, and this was no exaggeration.

After calming down and confirming the [Yellow Dragon Token] was still in his arms, Lin Mu set off again, his speed even faster.

Although the map in "Mythical Three Kingdoms" had increased significantly (40 (length) * 40 (width) * 100 (height)), the characters' speed had also increased to adapt to the larger map.

At Lin Mu's current speed, it would take about two game days to leave the towering, rugged mountain.

He had just left the sight of the massive nest, and the journey ahead was long and lonely.

After running for half a day, the sky was getting dark, and a stunning system world announcement sounded in Lin Mu's ears:

"——Ding!"

"——World Announcement: Congratulations to Salid Rockefeller from the American region for establishing the world's first village, [City of Angels], and being granted the title of 'World's First Village.' Special reward: a 4th-rank special barracks! Salid Rockefeller's personal level +3, base attributes +3, reputation +300. We hope players continue to work hard, achieve great deeds, and dominate the world!"

The announcement was repeated three times, causing a stir among players worldwide, with some feeling amazed, regretful, or motivated. The game forums would surely be buzzing.

Lin Mu didn't know how the American region players obtained the Village Establishment Token, but it must have been a unique encounter, and now he had his own unique encounter!

In his previous life, this player had established the first village, earning immense reputation and system rewards.

The special reward of a 4th-rank special barracks, which could recruit citizens to become special troops, was very helpful in the early stages of the game.

Military strength was crucial, and Lin Mu couldn't afford to rest, so he quickened his pace.

On the road, Lin Mu kept running, eating the food provided by the system, not even stopping to eat, to save time.

Eating food restored players' stamina, and running consumed stamina, but it wasn't much unless in combat. Eating a little could sustain running for three days.

Lin Mu didn't express any feelings or opinions about the announcement; his main goal was to reach Yinglong Valley and establish his village, aiming to be the second in the world to do so, which would earn him special rewards.

The 4th-rank special barracks in the announcement were very attractive to Lin Mu, but since someone had already obtained it, he couldn't change that. He just needed to work hard.

He still had about two days of travel ahead. He kept encouraging himself to keep going.

He didn't encounter any other players on the road. The deep wilderness was still unexplored, and most players were randomly spawned in county towns. Only a few, like Lin Mu, who had teleportation scrolls, could choose their spawn points, hoping for unique encounters.

Lin Mu knew many players had unique encounters, and compared to the vast number of players, those who chose random spawns still had many unique experiences.

In his previous life, he had seen players on the game forums who had fallen into beast lairs, cleared them out, and made a fortune.

However, some special areas couldn't be randomly spawned into!

Most players were active around county towns, where they could buy weapons and resources from system buildings, fight monsters, and sell resources to the system for money, making early development smoother. The early stages were nostalgic, with players using wooden sticks to fight wild bulls, a tough time indeed!

Due to the laws of the Han Dynasty, players couldn't mine iron or forge weapons, and many couldn't afford to buy weapons. Relying on the low drop rates from monsters, it was nearly impossible to get good weapons.

Only by establishing a village and occupying resources could players have the means to make weapons and equipment. For now, they could only fight small monsters.

If players worked in the government's iron mines, they might receive weapons as rewards, a task Lin Mu knew about. However, by choosing to establish a territory in the wilderness, he couldn't enjoy the system's conveniences and had to be self-reliant, but he was confident and ambitious.
