Every grade of village building token has different basic attributes; the higher the grade, the more and better the attribute bonuses. Every player knows this.
“I can’t believe I got this token! I will definitely seize this opportunity. Shenzhou, wait for me!!”
Lin Mu was fully confident that this was the legendary Divine Village Building Token.
However, around this token, streaks of flowing, dragon-like light shimmered, like an indestructible protective shield.
“Why is there a shield?” Lin Mu’s expression slightly darkened.
Nevertheless, he still placed his hand on the shield, wanting to check its attributes.
Unexpectedly, his hand passed directly through the shield, grabbing the floating token!
At the same time, the familiar system prompt sounded in his ear:
“—Ding!”
“—System Notification: Player Lin Mu, congratulations on obtaining the 【Yellow Dragon Token】!”
Although there was only this one notification, Lin Mu’s heart was stirred by a monstrous wave.
It wasn’t a village building token after all!
Great disappointment filled his heart, bitter and regretful; he had guessed wrong.
However, just by the name, it should be extraordinary. 【Yellow Dragon Token】—could it summon a divine dragon?
Clutching the token in his hand, as if it were a divine dragon, soaring and magnificent, his tightly clenched hands trembled slightly, and Lin Mu’s heart was repeatedly shaken.
“Being able to summon a divine dragon should be pretty awesome too. Don’t be ungrateful…” Lin Mu thought to himself.
However, when Lin Mu checked the attributes, he realized he was wrong again. It was still a village building token, but the name had changed, and he was simply ignorant.
Name: 【Yellow Dragon Token】
Rank: Divine
Feature: Heart of the City, Unique Special Item
Special Attribute 1: 【Auspiciousness of Earth Virtue】 (Unactivated): The Yellow Dragon belongs to Earth, symbolizing auspiciousness. It thrives on dragon veins and is born from them. A land with a dragon vein is blessed with abundant spiritual energy and can become a primary spiritual land. Requires the occupied territory to have a dragon vein, blessing the territory.
Special Attribute 2: 【Humanistic Glory】 (Unactivated): Bestowing benevolence from heaven, cultivating virtue through one path, acting solely with benevolence, bringing peace to the world.
Special Attribute 3: 【Humanity’s Blessing】 (Unactivated): Benefiting all living beings, making everyone like a dragon. The aptitude of registered residents increases by one tier.
Special Attribute 4: 【Nuwa’s Pity】 (Unactivated): The great goddess Nuwa hopes that those who obtain it will transform into a Nine Heavens Dragon, dominating the world and gathering the world’s fortune. The overall attributes of resources occupied by the territory increase by 100%.
The item that his boss in his previous life had spent countless resources trying to obtain was actually so miraculous.
It was countless times more wondrous than any territory attribute token Lin Mu had ever seen before.
The secrets within the 【Yellow Dragon Token】 were still unclear to him and needed to be slowly unearthed.
Lin Mu was now in a state of immense joy, like riding a roller coaster, up and down, truly agonizing, but fortunately, the ending was joyful.
He wanted to put the token into his backpack, but unfortunately, the system prompted that it could not be placed in the backpack. Helplessly, he had to keep it close to his body, and only then did he slightly relax.
A player's backpack is a 6x6=36 grid backpack. The maximum accumulation per grid is 99, meaning that if it's for food, each grid can hold 99 units of food.
Patting the 【Yellow Dragon Token】 that lay shining brightly in his arms, Lin Mu was ecstatic.
However, Lin Mu immediately suppressed his excitement. He wasn't completely safe yet.
He looked around. There were still many treasures, equipment, and resources, but Lin Mu dared not take any more, nor could he, because around those strange items, yellow, hazy light shields, like bubbles, were protecting them.
These light shields, at first glance, felt incredibly tough and impossible to break quickly.
As for the situation with the Yellow Dragon Token, Lin Mu was at a loss.
“Hiss!” Lin Mu’s pupils suddenly contracted. Just now, a sharp surge of energy had locked onto him, making him feel as if he had fallen into an ice cave!
Run, he must run!
Fleeing this place immediately was the right path! If Yinglong returned and killed him, and the 【Yellow Dragon Token】 in his arms dropped, that would truly be a tragedy where he couldn't even cry.
And there was another important point: he hoped that the subsequent village building wouldn't encounter any unexpected situations!
After checking the attributes of the 【Yellow Dragon Token】, Lin Mu immediately turned and bolted. Although the description takes a while, Lin Mu read it at a glance, and the time elapsed was only about ten seconds.
Lin Mu wanted to descend the mountain, immediately.
According to the surrounding path map he obtained in his previous life, there were many ways to ascend the peak, but to avoid Yinglong and reach the ideal location for establishing his territory, 【Yinglong Valley】, there was only one path to take.
Along the winding mountain path, Lin Mu ran and jumped without stopping, sprinting at his maximum speed, exerting all his might as if his feet were winged.
Yinglong's return to its nest would be swift. Dozens of seconds had already passed, and Lin Mu wasn't sure if Yinglong always returned according to a pattern, so it was better to be cautious.
He dashed along the familiar path towards Yinglong Valley... Yinglong's current size was enormous, covering the sky and sun, soaring for thousands of miles. For some unknown reason, later, when Lin Mu was campaigning against it, that Yinglong seemed to be a different dragon than before, its size becoming very small, as if it had been replaced by another dragon. Lin Mu was also unclear about the reasons behind this.
However, even that weaker Yinglong required countless manpower and resources to conquer.
The current Yinglong was like a god, dominating Shenzhou with unparalleled majesty.
If it knew that a mortal thief had snuck into its lair and stolen its belongings, Lin Mu wondered if it would swallow him whole or tear him limb from limb.
Thinking of this, Lin Mu's steps seemed to quicken even more, as if wind carried his feet.
As Lin Mu ran, for some reason, he felt as if someone was watching him, a prickling sensation on his back, though he wasn't sure if it was just his imagination.
However, the sprinting Lin Mu selectively ignored it.
This precious opportunity had to be seized. Even if he were killed by Yinglong returning to its nest, he wouldn't regret it.
In his previous life, he had also heard of many players sneaking up, trying to be thieves, but they all failed miserably.
After running for nearly an hour, Lin Mu looked at the surrounding scenery, which remained unchanged: jungles, bushes, and swirling mist, as if nothing had moved. Such scenery was abundant on the massive Yinglong Peak. Lin Mu knew he had run a long distance, but his destination was still very, very far away.
Suddenly, a huge shadow enveloped the mountain peak, and Lin Mu's body was also covered.
He knew this meant Yinglong had returned to its nest. He immediately held his breath and carefully hid himself among the weeds, not daring to move an inch, to avoid being noticed by the enormous figure.
His tiny figure was like an ant in Yinglong's eyes.
“I hope it doesn’t discover this ant,” Lin Mu kept comforting himself.
Lin Mu didn't know how long he had been praying in his heart, but the dark shadow had already passed, so it seemed he hadn't been discovered.
If he had been discovered, a single breath could have blown Lin Mu away; this was no joke, it was entirely possible.
Composing himself and confirming that the 【Yellow Dragon Token】 was still in his embrace, Lin Mu set off again, his speed seemingly even faster.
Although the map in “Mythical Three Kingdoms” had increased many times (40 (length) * 40 (width) * 100 (height)), the corresponding speed of the characters had also changed and increased to adapt to the larger map.
At Lin Mu's current speed, 11, it would take approximately 2 days of in-game time to leave this ten-thousand-meter-high, rugged and dangerous giant peak.
Lin Mu had only just left the vicinity of the giant nest, which was now out of sight. The road was long and winding, and he was alone on the journey... After running for most of the day, as dusk approached, an astonishing system world announcement echoed in Lin Mu's ears:
“—Ding!”
“—World Announcement: Congratulations to Sarid Rockefeller of the American region for establishing the world’s first village, 【Angel City】! Granted the title of “World’s First Village” and awarded a special reward: a Tier 4 special barracks! Sarid Rockefeller’s personal level +3, inherent attributes +3, reputation +300. We hope players continue to strive, achieve great deeds, and contend for world dominance!”

We hope players continue to strive, achieve great deeds, and contend for world dominance!”
The three familiar and grand world announcements appeared, stirring up players globally, who either sighed, regretted, or redoubled their efforts. The game battle network forum was undoubtedly in an uproar.
Lin Mu didn't know how the American players obtained the village building token, but they certainly had an adventure, and now he had one too!
In his previous life, it was also this player who established the first village, gaining countless player reputation and system rewards.
Special reward: a Tier 4 special barracks. This is a barracks that can recruit residents to become special units, which will definitely be very helpful for players' early development.
Establishing military strength at the forefront immediately is essential. Lin Mu can't rest now; his pace quickens.
Lin Mu ran non-stop along the way, constantly eating the food given by the system, not even stopping for meals, as he had to save time.
Eating food can restore a player's stamina. Running consumes stamina, but if it's not combat, it doesn't consume much. Just eating something to recover is enough to support running for three days without a problem.
Lin Mu didn't express any sighs or opinions regarding the announcement. His biggest goal now was to reach Yinglong Valley, establish his own village, and try to be the second in the world to establish a village, which would allow him to receive special rewards.
The Tier 4 special barracks mentioned in the announcement was very appealing to Lin Mu, but someone had already obtained it, and he couldn't change that. It wasn't a pity; as long as he worked hard, it would be fine.
He still has about 2 days of travel ahead. “Come on, Lin Mu,” he constantly cheered himself on in his heart.
He didn't encounter a single player on the way. The deep wilderness was still unexplored. Most new players randomly spawned in counties and towns. Only a very small number of players like Lin Mu, who had fixed teleportation talismans, could choose their spawn point, hoping to find adventures.
Lin Mu knew that many players had adventures. Compared to the huge player base, there were still many players who chose to spawn randomly, and various adventures constantly occurred.
In his previous life, he had also seen players on the battle network forum who fell into monster lairs, swept away everything inside, and made a fortune.
However, players cannot randomly spawn in some special areas!
Currently, players mostly operate around county towns, where they can buy various weapons and resources from system buildings, and also hunt monsters to sell resources to the system for money. This way, early development won't be too slow. The early rookie phase is quite nostalgic—those miserable days of hitting wild oxen with wooden sticks are unbearable to recall!
Due to the laws of the Han Dynasty, private mining of iron ore and similar activities were prohibited, preventing weapon forging. Many players also lacked money to buy weapons. Relying on the pitiful drop rate from monster kills, it was impossible to get decent weapons.
Only when players establish villages and occupy resources will they have the conditions to craft weapons and equipment. For now, they can only fight small monsters.
If players worked as miners in government-owned iron mines, they might receive weapons as a reward. Lin Mu also knew about such quests, but since he chose to establish his territory in the wilderness, he wouldn't be able to enjoy the various conveniences of the system. He would have to rely on himself, but he had both confidence and ambition.
