Traveling through time and space to achieve a well-off life with your family
Chapter 73: The City of Enlightenment
After eating and drinking, everyone cleaned up the place together. After that, no one was in a hurry to leave. Seeing that no one left, Cheng Mo felt embarrassed to drag Ban Mu and the others to leave early, so he sat on the platform and chatted with Ban Mu.
Suddenly, Xiong Bai, Yan Hai, Xifa, Xiangshan and others stood up together and stood on the high platform.
"Everyone, I am Xiong Bai, the high priest of the Langya tribe. Last year, a forest fire forced my tribe to relocate here. Along the way, many of our people died or were injured. Only a dozen of us survived! If we hadn't met Lord Cheng Mo and Lord Banmu, perhaps our Langya tribe would not exist. It was Lord Cheng Mo who taught us how to plant, how to raise animals, and how to survive. We will never forget this kindness!" Xiong Bai bowed in the direction of Cheng Mo, and when he straightened up, his face was covered with tears. Before meeting Cheng Mo, he had prepared to perish with the tribe, but he did not expect Cheng Mo to appear, and there was hope for his future.
"Everyone, I am Yan Hai, the chief of the Salt Lake Tribe. You should all know about our Salt Lake Tribe. Our tribe is famous for producing salt, and every tribe is on good terms with us. But after the wildfire, the salt produced by our tribe's magic stone became less and less, and the magic stone became smaller and smaller. At that time, I was worried every day, afraid that after the magic stone disappeared, how would the orcs get salt, and how would my people survive. On the way to the last trading day last year, we encountered wandering orcs who came to rob salt, and all our salt was taken away. I was desperate at that time! Is the Salt Lake Tribe going to perish in my hands? Fortunately, I met Lord Cheng Mo, who selflessly taught us the method of drying seawater salt, and even allowed us to live nearby to help us get through that desperate winter. We cannot repay this favor!" Yan Hai bowed his head deeply. Cheng Mo is of great significance to the Salt Lake Tribe. It is not an exaggeration to say that the people of the Salt Lake Tribe regard Cheng Mo as their savior.
"Everyone, I'm Xifa from the Rhino Horn Tribe. As you all know, my tribe was looted by stray orcs, and my children were badly injured. Fortunately, it was Lord Cheng Mo who saved my children and killed those evil stray orcs! I can never repay this kindness! Not to mention that Lord Cheng Mo was willing to accept us and let us live in this city!" Xifa couldn't help choking up as he spoke. The little rhino below was whimpering in anxiety, and Cheng Lingqu patted the little rhino's head soothingly.
The next one was Xiangshan. Xiangshan stood on the stage and smiled: "Everyone, I am Xiangshan from the Long Nose Tribe. We joined this city simply to seek cooperation. Thank you, Master Cheng Mo, for accepting us. Thank you, everyone, for accepting us. The orcs in our tribe are all strong and healthy, and many of them are single! If any single female takes a fancy to them, just take them away!"
"Hey! We are all saying sentimental words, but why do you, an old guy, come here to find partners for single males?" Xifa said dissatisfiedly as he pushed Xiangshan from behind.
"Hehe!" Xiangshan touched his nose and quietly retreated to the back. The orcs below laughed together. Some orcs were on good terms with the orcs from the Long Nose Tribe and asked loudly, "Brother, I heard you are still single!"
The orc who was asked blushed and answered in a rough voice: "Yes! What's the matter? You need to introduce me to it!"
The orc pulled the female sitting next to him over and kissed her, then said with a smile, "No, I just wanted to show you my partner. What do you think? Is she pretty? Don't be too envious!"
The female blushed, punched the orc's chest hard and cursed, "Get lost!"
The orc begged for mercy in a low voice, the orcs next to him laughed, and Cheng Mo, who was sitting on the high platform, also laughed.
Xiong Bai and the other three looked at each other and walked in front of Cheng Mo. Cheng Mo looked at them in confusion. Xiong Bai and the other three bent down and said loudly to Cheng Mo: "Lord Cheng Mo! Can you please be the city lord of us? We will always support you and respect you!"
Cheng Mo helplessly supported Xiong Bo's shoulders, but Xiong Bo didn't move at all. Cheng Mo then lifted the shoulders of the other three people, but they seemed to be frozen and didn't move at all. The orcs below saw it and bent down in unison, begging: "Lord Cheng Mo! Please be our city lord!"
Cheng Mo was so anxious that he turned back to look at Ban Mu. After seeing Ban Mu's firm eyes, he calmed down and asked, "Why do you want me to be your city lord? I don't have strong strength, nor leadership ability. I am not a qualified leader."
Xiongbai lowered his head and said loudly: "No! You have led us through so many difficulties, given us hope for survival, and taught us a better life. There is no better city lord than you!"
Cheng Mo looked at the orcs who were bending over in unison. He didn't think that what he had done had any profound meaning. He just did what he wanted to do. Now he was asked to be the city lord, and he felt unworthy of it!
"Xiao Mo." Ban Mu walked over and held Cheng Mo's hand and said, "Don't belittle yourself. They are right. You are great! However, if you don't want to be the city lord, then we won't do it! I will always support you! Just be yourself!"
Cheng Mo looked at Ban Mu's affectionate face. At this moment, he thought of a lot. Ban Mu had always been by his side and had never left.
"Ding Dong! Main Mission Nine: Life Choices!" 079 ran out at an inopportune time, but this mission did not tell him clearly what to do.
"Ding Dong! Host, from the first mission to now, don't you understand yet?" 079 said earnestly.
"Understand what?"
"Ding Dong! I am a civilization advancement system. You have moved from tribal civilization construction to urban civilization construction. I can only say that no one is more suitable for this position than you!"
"But I have no experience! What if I don't do well?!"
"Ding Dong! Not every city lord has experience. You just need to know that your mission is to lead everyone to a better future! You are the only one who can be the city lord, and it can only be you! Only when you sit in this position can you protect the people you cherish!"
"The person I cherish?" Cheng Mo turned around and looked at Ban Mu. Ban Mu looked at him tenderly, as if as long as he refused, Ban Mu would take him away without any reason and would not let these troubles disturb him.
"I am willing to be the city lord." Cheng Mo made up his mind. He stretched out his hand to Xiong Bai, and this time Xiong Bai was helped up smoothly.
"Woo-hoo!" The orcs below cheered. It was obviously just a matter of selecting a city lord, but they were as happy as if they were experiencing a big festival.
Cheng Mo looked at the faces below. He would be the lord of a city in the future, and the burden on him would be heavier. However, when he saw the happy faces of the people below, those burdens seemed nothing!
"Then let's call our city Qiming City! It means the city of hope." Cheng Mo said.
The orcs below cheered: "City of Enlightenment, City of Hope!"
