Chapter 18: The Players Laughed

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

After the candidates were released and the careful analysis by the players, the players finally focused their attention on Candidate 100, Mu…

At level 1, Mu’s talent was low and could not automatically level up.

Other than his identity being a tribal totem, he was simply the perfect boss candidate.

The players laughed.

This was too easy!

“A level 1 totem and low talent. He can’t even level up. Even if he’s powerful, how powerful can he be?”

“Indeed, I saw the forum information. Our closed beta is set around the year 05000 in the first era.

At that time, even a pig will probably become a god. Only this Mu who can’t level up meets the needs of us players.”

“I understand. It’s just an excuse for interaction. The officials have openly decided on their plot boss candidate!”

“Speaking of which, I remember this guy’s identity. Isn’t he a servant of some tribe?”

…

The number of votes Su Mu obtained soared.

In just an hour or so, his votes had already exceeded six figures!

Looking at this speed, the number of votes would soon reach the upper limit of one million votes. It would also end the plot boss selection in advance.

There was a hidden way to end the voting process.

That was, if a candidate obtained a million votes, it would end the voting process in advance.

Su Mu’s votes had exceeded six figures. The highest number of votes for the others was less than a thousand…

There was a 90% chance that he would become the first plot boss…

…

In the Eastern Region, in the Water Curtain Cave.

Rong’s eyes were filled with energy. Su Mu’s words had benefited him greatly!

In particular, he had picked up on the steadiness Su Mu was trying to instill in him.

After the three-meter-long lotus melted and left the Water Curtain Cave, Su Mu’s face instantly collapsed…

He regretted two things now.

Firstly, why was he so polite?

Secondly, why did he not study history well…

Now, he even had to keep telling the same historical story…

“Sigh…”

In the cave, Su Mu’s sigh sounded…

He then returned to the research of the Five Elements Breathing Technique.

The next day.

Rong left as usual and went out to find prey.

He ran west for about four hours.

A two-meter-tall tribe with stone walls appeared in front of him.

At the entrance, two muscular warriors held bone spears the height of a person and guarded the entrance of the tribe.

Rong adjusted the usual posture he had when he was with Su Mu. Instead, he held his head high and walked towards this unfamiliar tribe.

“Leader!”

Rong nodded.

Rong entered the tribe.

There was something strange about this tribe. It was nameless and had no totems.

In the center of the tribe stood a stone statue nearly ten meters tall, but its face was blank.

In this tribe, the men trained in a planned manner.

The women sewed leather armor under the lead of an older woman.

This was the tribe that had been gathered over the past ten years.

There were people abandoned by big and small tribes.

Because of various accidents or reasons, they had gathered in the nameless tribe Rong had established.

Rong firmly remembered Su Mu’s words.

Therefore, this tribe now had no totems or names.

It was as if they were just a group of people that had gathered together to live.

Therefore, most people in this tribe did not have their own names.

After entering the tribe through the entrance, be it men, women, or children, they looked at Rong with grateful gazes.

After being influenced by Su Mu for many years, when human rights were still a general concept, Rong had already learned to respect the lives of others under Su Mu’s guidance.

Not only would he respect them, but he would also protect these weak people.

He separated the Fire Element Breathing Technique into a breathing technique suitable for everyone to cultivate.

Then, he passed it to everyone in the tribe.

This was why the people from the tribe looked much stronger than the people from the other tribes.

“Leader Rong, we’ve found the thing you asked for previously!”

As he walked, an old tribe member ran excitedly to Rong’s side.

Rong asked in confusion, “What is it?”

There were indeed many things he had asked them to find. 95% of them were things he had heard Su Mu talk about. Then, he would ask Su Mu what the things were for.

In the end, he would return to the tribe and issue missions to find these things.

“Leader Rong, it’s an iron mine!”

Rong stopped in his tracks and looked at the person beside him excitedly. He could not suppress his voice and asked, “Is it really an iron mine?!”

The person beside Rong was already prepared. He took out an irregular iron block from his hide pants…

The beating marks on it were very obvious. There were also traces of flames…

Rong received the iron block and took out an iron tree leaf from his hide pants…

He held the iron block in his left hand and the iron tree leaf in his right and smashed them together.

Then, the iron tree leaves shattered…

“Alright! Alright! Alright!”

Rong raised the iron block and recalled something Su Mu had once said…

“Iron, after being roasted by the flames and hammered ten thousand times, can be turned into a weapon sharper than a bone saber!”

The more Rong looked at it, the more he liked it. He grabbed the iron block and roared, gathering the tribe members in front of the nameless stone statue.

“The tribe is holding a bonfire celebration today!”

A total of more than 1,000 people surrounded Rong in the middle. When they heard Rong’s words, they shouted excitedly.

As for Rong…

At this moment, he quietly left.

Before leaving, he instructed the tribe members who were tasked with finding and making the iron block not to stop and to continue exploring!

After giving his instructions, he carried a mammoth and left the tribe…

…

Time passed day by day.

Rong continued to leave early and returned late. The reason he used was very appropriate. He always just said he had gone hunting.

Xi was happy to take on the role of being Black Egg’s exclusive masseuse. Every time after a meal, she would give Black Egg a flame massage.

As for Su Mu, he had always been a homebody.

There wasn’t even a door for the cave.

He had been studying the Five Elements Breathing Technique in the cave.

The meat of the ferocious beasts was provided by Rong every day, so he did not have to go out to explore.

Moreover, there were only the three of them here. What could happen?

…

Southern Region.

Two years ago, the Soaring Bull Tribe was invaded by “outsiders”…

After the Fire Tribe was destroyed by them, the entire Soaring Bull Tribe moved to the forest.

Unfortunately, the team that destroyed the Fire Tribe had disappeared somewhere…

The tables had turned. The current Soaring Bull Tribe had fallen from their pedestal.

Their leader led the last team of warriors and escaped to hide in different locations like a stray dog.

“Warriors, persevere. There’s a lake in front. We’ll rest there!”

…

Eastern Region.

A few more days passed.

While Su Mu was cultivating, Xi and Rong came to ask for leave. It was time for the two of them to return to the Southern Region to pay respects to their parents.

He directly agreed without hesitation.

“Be careful and be steady when you encounter trouble.”

Rong nodded. He knew that this was Lord Totem’s instructions to him!

There was nothing to pack. After breakfast, the two of them embarked on their annual trip back to the Southern Region.
