Chapter 131: Mr. Big, Mr. Little, Mr. Tiny

The action went well after that.

It went incredibly well.

In the Xu system’s vision, breaching the border pass was only the first step; behind it, there were more and more difficult challenges.

However.

Holding this vigilant and cautious Xu system.

But ten days later, with a look of disbelief, he stood on the walls of the city of Pingshui County.

“Strange ……”

“The counties within the Great Qian are so weak in defense that they were just shot down by me?”

“And, after I broke through that pass, no other border troops came after me.”

“What the hell ……”

The Xu system mused.

Perhaps he had underestimated the level of turmoil within Da Qian.

The current Great Qian is likely to be too busy to take care of itself and is busy trying to suppress other rebellions.

That’s the only way to explain the smooth sailing of the Army of the Seeker of Life.

“That’s a good thing.”

The Xu system smiled and turned to leave.

……

[You’ve successfully captured Flatwater County.]

[When you arrived, Pingshui County could not even mount an effective defense against you, and you easily blew open the gates of the city and led a huge “rebel army” into it.]

[Some people are horrified and think you’re compelling.]

[Some people are numb to the fact that it’s just a different person ruling.]

[But, you’re neither good at demagoguery nor interested in being a ruler.]

[Your army’s bravery, its ability to sweep through the county with the force of a storm, is due to none other than the starving people themselves.]

[It’s just a bunch of idiots trying to stay alive.]

[No one is not afraid of death, everyone will fear death, but if they can’t live themselves, it doesn’t matter if they die or not.]

[In just ten days, you’ve had another wave of growth in your ranks]

[The starving people seeking to live were like a tidal wave, drowning out the weak resistance of Pingshui County]

[You have searched the extravagant mansion and found the magistrates gathered together in hiding, and with horror in their eyes they call you a traitor to the cause.]

[You deny the claim]

[You’re not out to rebel against Daqian or anything else. What you’re doing is just trying to feed people, that’s all]

……

[After capturing the city of Pingshui County, there was a lot of excitement within the Survival Army.]

[People who have struggled on the edge of life and death for the first time experienced unprecedented joy, the joy of breaking the shackles and realizing that they are also “human beings”].

[Someone proposes to go on the offensive and attack other counties in Daqian]

[But you suppressed the claim]

[You’ve never forgotten that the main reason why you taught the Fool’s Kung Fu and led the poor starving people to rush out of the border was to keep more people alive]

[The winter is getting colder and the drifting snow is getting thicker and thicker.]

[It is clear that this weather is no longer suitable for continuing the war]

[What people need is to rest, to eat, to get through this winter in peace.]

[Under your arrangement, the starving stragglers have moved into the county town of Pingshui, filling up one vacant house after another, and that’s the only way to get through the winter]

“It doesn’t matter if it’s crowded.

[Boredom is not cared for]

[Whenever there is a house sheltered from the wind and the snow, people show great joy.]

[No one feels inferior to such treatment, for they were mortal creatures, and it is you who have kept them alive and in their place.]

[New Year’s Eve is approaching]

[You have been advised to get some rest because you, as the “leader”, Mr. Koh, who is highly respected by everyone, is often busy late into the night.]

……

It’s not enough to just fight.

While in Greenbrier.

There were very few people in the Xu system who needed shelter, and all that needed to be considered was simply how to keep people fed.

The answer to getting fed is simple, killing demons is it.

The rough, hard-to-chew demon meat barely filled his stomach.

The only thing Xu System had to do was to keep punching and slashing, then bring the dead demons back to Qingniu Town.

But not now.

The number of people in the Seeking Livelihood Army was too large, and each person’s clothing, food, shelter, and the cultivation aspect of the Silly Kung Fu all needed to be judged by the Xu system, the decision maker.

It’s not that the Hsu system wants to be the decision maker.

Rather, the people of the Army of the Living cannot trust any other but him.

“It’s exhausting ……”

I don’t know how long he had been busy, but Department Xu finally detached himself from the complicated political affairs and let out a long sigh.

The room was warm and burned with precious black coals.

For martial artists in the innate realm.

This kind of heating is not really necessary.

But it was impossible to resist, and people stuffed the Xu system over and over again.

Xu System often wondered if he could have been at peace with himself and refused those political affairs not to manage them if he hadn’t had this kind of silly to cute behavior.

However.

There is no “if” or “if only” in this world.

“Sir, it’s better if I do it instead,” volunteered a voice from beside him.

Wu Ying Xue squeezed over.

After this period of recuperation, she had long since regained her former vigor, staying by Xu’s side at all times, becoming Xu’s bodyguard while also trying her best to learn about politics.

“Then, Yingxue, it’s all yours.”

The Xu system was going to refuse.

But think of all the other things that need to be done today.

Just at the happy expression on the young girl’s face, she left the political affairs in her hands.

“Yes, sir, promise to finish the job!”

……

[Busy politics, constantly squeezing your free time]

Fortunately, you’re not alone. Wu Yingxue is quite intelligent and has taken a lot of the pressure off of you.

[God’s reward for your longtime persistence in dealing with governmental affairs has made your mind a little quicker, and your speed in dealing with written documents has increased.]

[You realize]

[For the current survival army, “Mr. Xu” and “Mr. Wu” are sufficient.]

[But in time, if more stragglers and starving people are absorbed, you and the maiden alone will not be able to do it.]

You need more nodes.

You screened the army of survivors and chose a group of people, including Ox, as the nodes you need.

[Some of them were in charge of fighting, some of them were in charge of planning, and some of them were in charge of raising livestock, each with their own strengths and advantages.]

[You didn’t come up with fancy names and titles.]

[Because they’ve thought it through]

“From today, I’m Mr. Tiny Bull!”

Wind and snow weigh down Flatwater County.

A vacant lot.

The simple man shouted in a tone of unbridled excitement.

Meanwhile, around him there were more shouts of, “Mr. Tiny Puppy Egg,” “Mr. Tiny Pocky.”

There was something comical about such an image that caused the Xu system to be dismayed.

But a few moments later.

Instead, he laughed out loud.

This is not a good way to name a person, it just sounds out of place, neither suave nor cool.

But inexplicably–

It’s mind-blowing.

“The New Year is coming, ah, a new year,” Hearing the cheers beside his ears, Xu System looked up into the sky, his eyes seeming to see something more through the cold sun.

The corners of his mouth, inexplicably, rose.
