Chapter 1281 - 20: The Saint Land Is About to Become Wang’s!

However, Wang Shouzhe still favors Lici more.

On the surface, this niece of his seems like a clumsy fool, but deep down she’s quite cunning. Most importantly, this girl eats everything, but has never tasted defeat! Moreover, she possesses extremely special abilities... there’s no better place than the wilderness for her to shine.

In this regard, even Wang Shouzhe feels a mix of envy and jealousy.

On the large crystal stone screen.

After gobbling down thirty units of food in one go, Wang Lici finally licked her tongue contentedly and said to the Elder: "Finally, I’ve got a bit of strength. I feel my body is somewhat stronger. Elder, go find a hundred strong young men and women for me, not the old ones, sturdy-looking ones! Sigh, eating grain alone doesn’t fill me up; I need to eat some flesh to better replenish my vital energy."

The Elder’s face turned pale, and he immediately knelt before her with a "plop," trembling as he said, "Great Favored by Heaven, if you want to eat, eat me. If you eat a hundred strong young people, our farm village will really be finished!"

"Great Favored by Heaven, if you must eat, eat us." A group of old folk from the farm village sensed the situation was dire, and they all rushed out, kneeling and crying in front of her, "We’re old and useless, living is just wasting food. Eat us, leave a path for survival for the young people and children~~"

"What are you thinking?" Wang Lici widened her eyes, stunned by their twisted logic, "I’m going out to hunt, planning to call a hundred people to help tidy up the prey."

"Great Favored by Heaven, are you really not going to eat people?" The Elder cautiously glanced at her.

"Obedient ones won’t be eaten, disobedient ones will." Wang Lici rolled her eyes and said menacingly, "You have one Hour to gather the troops, or I’ll eat the whole village."

The Elder was so scared his face turned white, and he immediately scrambled to gather a hundred villagers. These villagers hadn’t undergone any specialized training, currently wielding simple farming tools like axes, without a single decent weapon.

"Let’s go, out to hunt Fierce Beasts!"

Wang Lici didn’t mind, and boldly led the "low-spirited" villagers out of the village’s simple walls.

Poor villagers, barely having eaten a full meal, were taken out to hunt...

"Elder, what should we do?" A woman watched her husband walk away and asked pitifully, "Great Favored by Heaven, isn’t she planning to eat... outside?"

"She won’t." The Elder’s heart was pounding, but he still forced himself to calm their spirits, "Everyone should keep working, should keep farming. Let’s repair the farm village and wait for Great Favored by Heaven to return victorious."

The anxious Elder could only use hard work to numb his mind.

And this scene naturally sparked debate among the True Men, who were pessimistic about Wang Lici’s future. Her hunting approach seemed too hasty, with seemingly no planning...

In comparison, others had much more normal styles.

For instance, Lvwei didn’t plan to go out hunting at all, instead staying within the farm village, optimizing planting processes, constructing wind shelters, and using her temporarily "frail" Favored by Heaven talent to gradually speed up crop growth.

Furthermore, everyone was most concerned about Wang Liyao, whose early development also appeared average and unremarkable. As if she wanted to do everything, from repairing the village, initiating new round of planting, training the militia, scouting the surrounding terrain, she didn’t neglect a single thing.

Yet, everything followed its course, without any surprises.

Apart from her, Gongyang Strategy, whose thinking had undergone a major reform, also adopted stable measures, likewise not rushing to expand outside, but conducting management and reform on various aspects of the farm village.

"This tactic seems bland, but it’s the most reliable." Jiang Zhencang admired them instead, "Once the farm village is managed little by little, great changes will occur in the end. Back in the day, this was how I operated, which ultimately allowed me to win the Struggle for the Saint Son."

As he spoke, he couldn’t help but sigh in his heart. It’s a pity his disciple Yingxuan wasn’t obedient, choosing a plan that’s really too risky.

But in "everyone’s" mind, the most outrageous thing was Wang Lici. With her current performance, if the Saint Land were handed over to her, it might not take a century before it completely falls apart.

Even the Elder responsible for coordinating the big screen couldn’t help but sigh privately. A good Unparalleled Celestial Pride, yet unable to use her brain, entirely a foolish glutton. Best to give her fewer shots, lest it become too embarrassing.

Unknowingly, the large crystal stone screen has cycled through days and nights many times.

Apart from Wang Lici, everyone’s shots rotated, with each person following their own rhythm and scheming, gradually finding some direction.

Outside of view of the camera.

Farm Village No. 8305.

Several days have passed since Wang Lici led her team out of the village.

During these days, due to the Elder’s comforting, the village barely kept stable. But starting from the seventh day, as food progressively dwindled, the sense of panic and unease inevitably spread.

There’s no choice, Wang Lici took away a batch of "army rations" upon her expedition, leaving few resources for the four hundred old, weak, sick, and disabled remaining in the village.
