Chapter 223: Great Mood
On the way back to Wild Horse Tribe, Luo Ji rode on Liaoyuanhuo’s back.
Even though he was utterly exhausted, he still seemed full of energy.
He had clearly acquired a beloved horse and was in a great mood!
At the same time, Luo Ji, having discovered the existence of ‘treasured steeds’ among mounts, also developed a strong interest in other people’s mounts.
However, the results were somewhat unexpected.
He had initially thought that at least Bai Ze’s beloved horse, White Dragon, should be a treasured steed, but it turned out it wasn’t…
You should know that according to Bai Ze himself, his White Dragon was a king among horses!
Although the title of ‘horse king’ also had degrees of strength, this showed that the standard for treasured steeds was probably even stricter than he had anticipated!
Back at Wild Horse Tribe, Luo Ji’s Liaoyuan Huo was, without surprise, surrounded by a large crowd.
Ma Ji, who usually stuttered when speaking, now stared intently at Liaoyuan Huo, examining it from head to toe, almost jumping up and down with excitement.
With his ‘Horse Appraisal’ talent, he was likely the most accurate judge of horses in this tribe.
He almost immediately recognized Liaoyuanhuo’s extraordinary qualities at first sight.
Meanwhile, Burigude, a grasslander, was also clearly among the onlookers.
The two biggest characteristics of grasslanders are, first, worshipping the strong, and second, loving horses as much as their lives!
To some extent, a powerful mount could be said to symbolize a grasslander’s strength, and magnificent steeds only belong to the strong!
Luo Ji’s Liaoyuan Huo was, one could say, an exceptional horse.
A warrior capable of taming such a magnificent steed would earn the respect of any grasslander.
As a result, without Luo Ji even knowing, Burigude’s loyalty increased by two points…
Feeling those envious gazes, Luo Ji felt a surge of secret satisfaction.
However, there were also troublesome aspects.
Aside from Luo Ji himself, Liaoyuan Huo was basically not close to anyone else, so for now, only he could personally care for it.
He wondered if this situation would improve over time.
Luo Ji then stayed at Wild Horse Tribe for two more days.
After helping Sun Li interview the new population, he finally set off back to Mirror Tribe.
Bai Ze, on the other hand, continued to stay at Wild Horse Tribe.
After all, from the current situation, Wild Horse Tribe needed his combat strength more.
On one hand, it was to prepare for the upcoming operations targeting grasslander tribes, where Bai Ze and his cavalry unit would likely be needed in many places.
On the other hand, it was also to somewhat guard against the newly recruited Burigude and his group.
After all, their loyalty was still low, and they were relatively tricky bow cavalry.
Once they caused any trouble, Luo Yong’s shield-axe soldier unit alone probably wouldn’t be able to handle it.
It was better to be cautious.
On the way back, Luo Ji wasn’t in too much of a hurry.
He took the opportunity to visit the three sub-cities along the way: Iron Wall Tribe, Rocky Mountain Tribe, and Black Rock Tribe.
After this inspection tour, by the time he returned to Mirror Tribe, almost half a month had passed.
Knowing Luo Ji was returning today, Bai Xu, his assistant secretary, had been waiting at the city gate since early morning, looking eagerly.
These past two weeks without the chief had been truly hellish for him!
Now, the Leader was finally back!
At the same time, he also felt a bit of admiration for his predecessor, Luo Ji’s previous assistant secretary, Sun Li.
How did Sun Li manage to perfectly handle all the work in Mirror Tribe when Luo Ji stayed at Iron Wall Tribe for so long?
That workload was simply monstrous!
This was also the biggest difference between Luo Ji’s two assistant secretaries.
Sun Li, with his 4-star maximum Spirit, was a super workaholic.
His work efficiency was a full level higher than Bai Xu’s…
Upon returning to Mirror Tribe, Luo Ji’s daily schedule and routine quickly returned to normal.
However, unlike before, he now had an additional task of caring for Liaoyuan Huo.
He occasionally had to let it out for a run to stretch its legs, preventing Liaoyuanhuo from getting irritable after spending too much time in the stable.
Luo Ji didn’t find caring for Liaoyuan Huo troublesome.
In fact, he quite enjoyed it.
In his previous life in the real world, he had always wanted to keep a pet.
However, given his circumstances at the time, he was exhausted just supporting himself, constantly juggling school and work.
He simply had no extra capacity to raise a pet.
Now, in this other world, he had finally gotten his wish.
Although this pet was a bit different from what he initially imagined, as long as he liked it, wasn’t that all that mattered?
After galloping around the western plains outside Mirror Tribe on Liaoyuan Huo, Luo Ji returned to the tribal camp, feeling content.
Just as he was about to give his beloved horse a bath, Bai Xu, covered in sweat, ran over.
“What’s the rush?”
Luo Ji asked casually while brushing Liaoyuan Huo’s mane.
“I believe I asked you to count the amount of tin and copper ingots, didn’t I?”
“Reporting, Sir! Just now, your subordinate finished counting the tin and copper ingots. The tin ingots have filled three warehouses, and the copper ingots have filled five warehouses!”
Hearing this, Luo Ji paused his actions, then let out a deep breath.
“Has that time finally come?”
“Then, Sir, should we tell the forging department to start work?”
Bai Xu pressed.
“No need to rush for a moment.”
“I still need to make some arrangements.”
As he spoke, Luo Ji signaled Bai Xu to withdraw, while also quickly opening his friends list and sending a message to Ye Qingxuan.
Meanwhile, in Ye Qingxuan’s world, she had just finished an invasion battle and was commanding her tribal soldiers to clear the battlefield and collect spoils.
The existence of Luo Ji, the Great Demon King, meant that veteran players in the unranked tiers who knew of their relationship basically dared not provoke her, a newcomer, anymore.
Occasionally, invaders were new players who didn’t understand the situation and had just passed the ‘being beaten’ stage, finally capable of attacking others.
These types of players were perfect for her to practice on.
After several invasion battles, relying on her weapon and terrain advantages, she had won battle after battle.
Her guerrilla warfare tactics had become exceptionally refined, and her player points were steadily rising.
Of course, even in this state, Luo Ji had constantly reminded her not to become complacent.
Because Ye Qingxuan’s current strength was based on home-field advantage.
Simply put, she was now an expert at defensive battles, but if she had to fight an invasion battle, she was still a complete novice.
Hearing a beep sound in her mind, Ye Qingxuan, who was clearing the battlefield, smiled slightly.
Luo Ji was the only person on her friends list now, so she knew without looking that the message must be from him.
She quickly opened it to see Luo Ji’s message, which was quite concise and clear…
“Qingxuan, I’m about to enter the Bronze Age.”
