Chapter 18

"Ding, congratulations to the host for reaching one million Reputation!"

"Ding, would you like to upgrade the Reputation Marketplace?"

Having just dismissed Li Gang and the others, Lin Yang couldn't help but smile upon hearing the notification in his mind!

One million Reputation!

During this period, he had been providing three meals a day to the people in the city!

After grinding for so long, he had finally reached one million Reputation!

"System, upgrade immediately!"

Without the slightest hesitation, Lin Yang chose to upgrade directly!

He also wanted to see!

What kind of supplies would appear in this Tier-two Reputation Marketplace!

"Ding, System Marketplace upgraded!"

"Ding, congratulations to the host for unlocking Tier-two Reputation goods!"

A mechanical notification sounded in his mind, followed by a flash of brilliant light, and the interface for the Tier-two Reputation Marketplace appeared before Lin Yang's eyes!

Host: Lin Yang

Position: County Magistrate of Jiangdu County

Reputation Value: 1060

Tier-two Reputation Marketplace Refresh:

A bowl of white porridge: 1 Reputation

A plate of pickled mustard greens: 1 Reputation

A white flour bun: 1 Reputation

A bowl of instant noodles: 5 Reputation

A ham sausage: 5 Reputation

A braised egg: 5 Reputation

PS: Consume ten million Reputation to upgrade to a Tier-three Reputation Marketplace!

Tier-one and Tier-two marketplace items can be purchased up to 100,000 units daily; the marketplace refreshes at midnight!

Looking at the virtual interface appearing before him, Lin Yang's breathing suddenly became rapid!

Hiss!

Instant noodles, ham, braised eggs!

This was the "instant noodle trio" from his past life!

The Tier-two marketplace had actually refreshed with these kinds of things!

Compared to flour-based foods like white porridge and white flour buns!

This Tier-two marketplace actually contained meat!

Chicken-meat ham sausages and braised eggs!

In this era of the late Eastern Han Dynasty, these were definitely considered meat!

"Hoo, hoo, hoo!"

Staring at the light screen for a long time, Lin Yang finally took a deep breath and recovered!

Although an instant noodle set required fifteen Reputation points!

These items were truly too important to Lin Yang!

For ordinary people, white porridge and white flour buns were enough to keep them full!

But for raising soldiers, that was not enough!

Although Han Dynasty government troops ate very poor-quality grain, when making dry rations, they would more or less mix in a little bit of minced meat!

No matter what kind of meat it was, it was at least minced meat!

Soldiers could not engage in high-intensity combat without eating meat!

Otherwise, why had there always been things like dried human-flesh rations during times of war throughout history?

Just as Lin Yang was getting excited about the instant noodle trio, in the disaster victim camp in Jiangdu County on the other side:

"My lord, this is the last one!"

Li Gou pointed to the final disaster victim camp, and Li Gang, standing to the side, immediately signaled his men to swarm the Huang Jin spies inside the camp!

In just a moment's effort, seven or eight sturdy men dressed in rags were dragged out!

When they saw Li Gou standing beside the government troops, these Huang Jin spies immediately began to curse!

"Li Gou, you actually betrayed the Commander, you will die a horrible death!"

"Damn you, think about how the Commander treated you, and you actually betrayed us?"

"..."

A series of curses rang out, and hearing them, Li Gou immediately became furious!

"Smack!"

With a sudden lunge, he slapped the leader of the men directly in the face!

The fierce slap left the leader stunned!

The next moment, Li Gou's spit was flying all over his face!

"You still have the nerve to talk?"

"Look at what you've been eating lately!"

"White porridge and white flour buns until you're full; whose grace is this? This is Magistrate Lin's grace!"

As he spoke, Li Gou slapped this group of people even more indignantly!

"You eat Magistrate Lin's food, drink Magistrate Lin's drink, and you still think about harming Magistrate Lin!"

"Do you have any conscience left?"

"Has your conscience been eaten by dogs?"

After this barrage of output, the government troops who had followed Li Gang were all left bewildered!

Why did these words feel like they had heard them before?

Especially Li Gang, who watched Li Gou's performance with a twitching mouth!

Weren't these the exact words he had been cursed with when he captured Li Gou earlier?

While the others were stunned, Li Gou seemed to have found a vent, and he became even more incensed!

"You still have the nerve to mention the Commander to me?"

"Think about what kind of life he led us through in the mountains!"

"Eating chaff and vegetables every day, never knowing if there would be a next meal!"

"How dare you compare him to Magistrate Lin?"

By the end, as if his true feelings were pouring out, Li Gou gave the leader a fierce slap!

"Magistrate Lin feeds us until we're full at every meal, and you still want me to betray Magistrate Lin?"

"You are simply delusional!"
