Super System in the Early Tang Dynasty

Humans can show off, but rats can show off even more.

He had always thought that the domineering aura could only be seen in novels, but this time, it opened his eyes to a whole new world!

At this moment, the little thing in front of me is the king!

Li Xingzhi seemed to be watching a tall, imposing figure walking towards him step by step!

Another sharp scream startled Li Xingzhi back to his senses.

At this moment, Erlang had already placed the little mouse in his palm. The two of them chattered away, seemingly saying something to each other.

Li Xingzhi shook his head, looking at the little creature acting cute and cuddly in Erlang's palm, and couldn't help but chuckle. It turned out the little mouse was still a little mouse, but now it had become a pretentious one.

At this moment, behind Li Xingzhi, the former expert in destroying the fields and the executioner in the eyes of the farmers suddenly became the pioneer of the "Railway Protection Movement" and the friend of the farmers. A bunch of huge rats surrounded Li Xingzhi's fields, and when they saw any of them daring to invade, they would use their two long, sharp teeth to bite them hard!

Whether it was the great general wielding his twin claws or the original nemesis, the giant snake, both were utterly defeated by the rat formation!

The situation took a sharp turn for the worse!

Seeing that the situation was hopeless, the crabs hid back in the crevices of the rocks, the snakes slithered back into their burrows, and the fish heads that had floated on the surface of the water sank back down. The great battle thus came to an end.

Little Jin, who was just being cute on Erlang, suddenly darted away and ended up in Li Xingzhi's hands.

The little mouse was making squeaking noises, gesturing with its tiny feet, and looking rather lewd.

"You lazy little thing, you even know how to ask for wages for others!" Li Xingzhi looked at the little guy in his hand and scolded him with a smile.

However, since they helped us, we couldn't let them go empty-handed; even the emperor wouldn't starve his soldiers!

Without further ado, Li Xingzhi produced several buckets of spiritual spring water.

At Xiao Jin's signal, a group of mice, big and small, started squeaking excitedly.

What followed was not the chaotic scene Li Xingzhi had imagined.

First, a few mice, each about the size of a cat, came out, gathered around the large bucket, and drank some water. Then, the other mice lined up one by one and drank a few sips each.

When the dust settled, only a desolate field remained.

Li Xingzhi looked around and saw that the crops in the field were all in good condition. Xiao Jin had arrived in time, so there was no major damage. Only a small patch of crops had some leaves eaten, but with the spiritual water from his space, they would grow back soon.

He tidied up the rather messy field, then, carrying a hoe, and with himself, a dog, and the little guy who was sitting on the back of the loyal big yellow dog, he headed back.

When Li Xingzhi returned home, Wu Laoliu was still out and hadn't come back yet, so he was happy to have some peace and quiet.

In the afternoon, I practiced Little Li Flying Dagger again.

After these days of practice, his throwing knife skills had improved considerably. As for the amazing wooden carvings filling the courtyard, they were merely accessories. Passersby could take whichever one they liked, and Li Xingzhi was quite happy about it—making use of waste! As a result, every household in Wangjia Village displayed several interesting wooden carvings.

The people of Wangjia Village were initially a little embarrassed, but when they saw the things that Li Xingzhi couldn't fit in the yard and ended up piled up like firewood, they didn't stand on ceremony anymore.

Li Xingzhi didn't come away empty-handed either. Besides his improved throwing knife skills, he also became more integrated into Wangjia Village, and few people treated him like an outsider anymore. Whenever someone had something to say, they would come over and say a few words.

It was only at this point that Li Xingzhi truly appreciated the unique way people communicated and the villagers' genuine emotions. He gradually grew to love this place.

"Staying here occasionally is a good idea!" he thought.

The families who were initially unhappy that he, an outsider, had occupied some of the best plots of land in the village no longer had any gossip.

Seeing this situation, Li Xingzhi seemed to understand something. It seems that no matter what a person wants to gain, the first thing to do is to give. You have to give before you can gain!

That evening, when it was time for cultivation again, Li Xingzhi was about to enter the space when suddenly, Little Gold, looking sneaky, popped out from somewhere and jumped onto Li Xingzhi's shoulder.

"You certainly know how to pick your time!" Li Xingzhi said, annoyed, looking at the little mouse's smug expression.

As he spoke, a thought crossed his mind, and he was transported to another world.

The little mouse, upon arriving in this world, ignored its master and went straight to the spring. It lay down in the spring and began swimming on its back, its eyes slightly narrowed, seemingly enjoying itself. Around it, a small golden snake swam. The two little creatures, who were originally natural enemies, were now getting along very harmoniously, as if this was how it was supposed to be.

Li Xingzhi glanced at the two little creatures ahead, not wanting to disturb them. He looked at the peach sapling by the spirit spring, which had already grown to over half a meter tall, and thought to himself, "When will I be able to eat the peaches I grew myself?" He watered the surrounding flowers, plants, and trees, tidied them up, and built a rough trellis for the climbing vines before returning to the spirit spring and beginning to meditate.

Li Xingzhi did not emerge from the space until the next day, when his own little rooster began to crow in its still-growing, duck-like voice.

He stayed in the village for two more days and even went up the mountain to take a look. The low hill was overgrown with weeds, and apart from a few rabbits and pheasants, there was nothing there. He also didn't see any of the wild fruits he was familiar with, so he had no choice but to go down the mountain in boredom.

Although he liked the warmth and simplicity of the place, it's always easier to go from frugality to luxury than from luxury to frugality. He couldn't stand it for more than two days and made a fuss about going back. Erlang was about the same. Only a few of the little guys were reluctant to leave! He glanced at the big yellow dog next to him, which was dressed as a statue, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. It truly deserves the system's evaluation of "the most loyal dog in the world"!

Having only been out for a few days, the initial sense of novelty had already faded. Standing at the city gate, looking at the surrounding mountains and rivers, the initial fun was nowhere to be found!

Li Xingzhi and his party entered from the North Gate and walked to the intersection of Wangfujing and Pozi Street. After turning two more corners, they would reach the main gate of the Li Mansion. The surrounding area was bustling with pedestrians, and at a glance, they could see the "first-class" library.

As they were walking along the road, Li Xingzhi heard a somewhat familiar voice—the sound of a child crying. Li Xingzhi didn't know many people in this world, and even fewer children. He couldn't figure out who that somewhat familiar voice belonged to.

He suddenly stopped, ordered several servants to take Erlang back, and then walked towards the direction of the crying.
