Chapter 95 (continued)

The Plow Ox Clan are a different race.

They need temporary identity cards if they want to settle down in the Huaxia Main City.

This identification tag was issued by the person who rented the land to them.

At this point, they reclaimed the land, and the identity tags of the Little Ox family were also taken back.

Without identification tags, they can only stay for a maximum of three days. Once that time is up, they will have to leave the Huaxia Main City.

With their abilities, entering the Astral Realm would only result in them being devoured.

So the Little Ox family panicked and desperately wanted to beg the adults in the inner city to see if they could be taken in.

Dad knelt down with a thud.

Cow Mom followed closely behind.

The two large oxen kowtowed frantically to Li Yang, Feng Yiqiao, and the others, hoping they would take in their children.

Li Yang spotted Niu Er at a glance.

Niu Er spotted her immediately. The Little Ox opened his mouth, stammering for a long time, "Big... big... brother."

It had become a habit for him.

Now he calls him "little brother" more naturally than "adult."

There were three Little Ox next to Niu Er.

The taller one must be the older sister, who is Niu Da.

The two shorter ones were Niu Er brothers—the real Niu San and the even younger Niu Si.

Niu Si was very cute, looking about four or five years old. His big, round eyes were darting around, and he didn't know what was going on. He just looked at Li Yang and the others with curiosity.

Niu Da reacted quickly, grabbing Niu Er and saying, "Second brother, you mustn't be rude to the officials in the inner city!"

Niu Er stammered, "Sister! She is... she is..."

Li Yang strode forward, warmly grasped Niu Er's hand, and said, "Second Brother, I've finally found you!"

The cow parents, kneeling and kowtowing, were like. "???"

Niu Da was also completely bewildered.

Niu San was much younger than Niu Er, probably around the same age as Niu Si. He tilted his head and looked at Li Yang, saying, "Are you the fake Niu San?"

Niu Er's face flushed red, and he stammered, "Uh, big brother, this is my third brother, his name is Niu San..."

Li Yang just said it casually and then named himself Niu San.

I didn't expect there really was a Little Ox bully.

So cute!

Li Yang smiled and said, "I borrowed your name. I'll give you something delicious later."

Niu San opened his big, round cow eyes wide. "What's delicious?"

Li Yang thought for a moment about Niu Er's preferences and said, "The tenderest grass shoots!"

Niu San immediately clapped his hands and said, "Great! I want to eat grass sprouts!"

Li Yang then helped the kneeling cow father and cow mother to their feet.

The two oxen were still confused and couldn't figure out what was going on.

After they were reunited with the Little Ox, they heard Little Ox recount his experience of the Divine Miracle.

However, they only reminisced for half of their time before they had to stop talking about these things, because their home was gone!

The family felt as if the sky had fallen, and they no longer cared about their experience with the Divine Miracle.

They then wandered around, their minds preoccupied with finding someone to take them in, only to encounter even more displaced members of their tribe.

The Star Wielders of the outer city of the eastern district were busy evacuating, completely ignoring the Plow Ox Clan, who were good for nothing but farming.

For these Star Wielders in the outer city, farming is the least profitable business!

These Plow Ox Clan, having repeatedly met with setbacks, were already disheartened.

Unexpectedly, I ran into Li Yang face to face.

The Plow Ox Clan is not good at fighting; even at the Fourth Grade Realm, they can only comprehend abilities related to farming.

Let alone the young Niu San Niu Si, even Niu Da and Niu Er would have a hard time surviving in the Astral Realm.

There's also a level cap for the Oxen Group.

The highest one can achieve is the Fifth Grade Realm.

Not all Astral Realm beings can advance to the Grandmaster.

This is why there are smaller Realm Domain that are absorbed into other realms.

Li Yang finally understood the situation of Little Ox's family.

Fortunately, the difficulties these cows faced were no problem for her at all!

Li Yang immediately said, "We're short-handed, why don't you come and help with the farming?"

The cow's parents were taken aback.

Niu Da also somewhat incredulous.

Only Niu Er, with tears in his eyes, said, "Big Brother, thank you!"

The two smaller calves patted their still-unformed hooves and exclaimed, "Grass sprouts, yay yay!"

Li Yang said to Feng Yiqiao, "Senior brother, could you please check how to issue them temporary identity tokens?"

Niu Da, who seemed to be the most cautious member of the family, asked softly, "Are you adults from the Spirit Division?"

Li Yang shook his head and said, "We are graduates of the Nature Pavilion."

Upon hearing the words "Nature Pavilion," the parents' expressions changed drastically, and they knelt down with a thud.

Li Yang reached out to help them in surprise, and Niu's parents burst into tears, crying, "Sirs, you're finally back! You're finally back!"

Niu Er was also too young; Nature Pavilion disappeared after they were born.

Niu Da older; he had heard his parents talk about him when he was very young.

The Plow Ox Clan wasn't always like this. Under the guidance of the adults in the Nature Department, they lived a prosperous and comfortable life.

But now, those are all just beautiful dreams gone by.

Even Niu's parents never mentioned the adults from the Nature Department again after Niu Er was born.

Therefore, Niu Er had no idea that his Plow Ox Clan was rescued by the Star Wielders of the Nature Department and settled in the outer city of the Eastern District.

Li Yang had no idea either, but she understood after asking a few questions.

"We are just freshmen from the Nature Department, and we don't know much about the Nature Pavilion," Li Yang explained his identity, then asked curiously, "I wonder what the two senior members of the Plow Ox Clan know?"

Li Yang's use of the term "senior" made Niu's parents' knees go weak.

Father Cow said, "Sir, my name is Niu Hei, and I am unworthy of being called a senior by you!"

Mother Cow also said, "Sir, my name is Niu Hong... Thank you for saving my little Er."

Feng Yiqiao has already used her identity card to find out how to issue temporary identities.

He quickly said to Li Yang, "This isn't difficult; we can issue them temporary identity cards."

How do I send it?

"The Star Wielders of the Nature Pavilion have the authority!"

Li Yang also used his mental senses to check his identity token and indeed saw the relevant functions.

Nature Pavilion wields considerable power in the Eastern District.

Although the properties in the East District do not belong to the Nature Pavilion, the land in the outer city of the East District does belong to the Nature Pavilion.

The land in the outer city and the inner city is very different.

Land in the inner city was more valuable, leading to fierce competition. After years of rivalry among various forces, the highest bidder won.

But the land in the outer city is different. First, its value is too low, so no one is vying to buy it. Second, the outer city has great strategic significance; it serves as an important buffer zone should a beast tide attack.

Therefore, none of the outer cities of the four major districts were privatized, but belonged to the corresponding Combat Department.

Of course, when there is no war, the four Combat Department will also lease out the land in the outer city.

Now that Marquis of Mirror Bamboo has handed the key to Li Yang, the lease agreement previously left by the Spirit Division has become invalid.

Even if it hadn't expired, it was useless anyway; all the Star Wielders who had signed contracts with the Spirit Division had run away.

They knew it perfectly well.

These students from the Nature Department are absolutely unable to defend against the beast tide.

The outer city will surely fall, so why waste their time and resources here!

Li Yang distributed temporary identity cards to each of the cows.

The big and Little Ox were clearly relieved.

Li Yang added, "I need your help with the planting. Don't worry, I will pay you..."

She hesitated for a moment, then asked, "How many merits could you earn in a year before?"

Niu Da explained clearly, "If our whole family works hard at planting, after paying the rent for the following year at the end of the year, we'll still have at least 500 merit points left."

Li Yang: "..."

If placed in the Huaxia Realm Domain, 500 merit points would be equivalent to 5 million Huaxia Currency, which is quite a fortune.

However, after arriving in the main city, Li Yang already knew the prices here.

The purchasing power of these 500 merit points is roughly equivalent to 500 RMB in Li Yang's previous life!

500 merits...

It was earned through the hard work of the whole family...

The Little Ox family has really had a tough time.

The advantage is that they shouldn't have too many expenses; the merit points are probably only used to buy Realm-Breaking Pill to improve their cultivation level.

Li Yang thought for a moment and said, "How about this, you all come and help me farm for three days, and I'll give each of you 50 merit points per day."

The Plow Ox Clan present. "!!!"

They all thought they had misheard, and someone stammered, "Is it 50 merit points per person per year?"

Li Yang: "..."

Xia Putao shouted, "It's 50 merit points per person per day!" He deliberately slowed down his speech, almost shouting each word out loud.

The Little Ox and big ones heard it clearly, and each one of them had tears in their eyes.

Feng Yiqiao stepped forward and explained, "We need your help with the farming for the next three days, which is quite urgent. The workload will be heavier, so the pay is higher. We'll discuss it again after these three days... well, we'll talk about it later."

Li Yang meant the same thing.

They will definitely settle the Plow Ox Clan properly in the future, but the specifics of how to settle them need to be discussed in detail.

The most urgent task is to plant Star Plant to stop the beast tide.

Otherwise, any talk of resettlement is just empty rhetoric.

50 merit points per person per day is a lot for the Plow Ox Clan.

The Little Ox Niu family has six members, but only four of them are capable of working. Yet, they only earn 500 merit points a year.

Now, they only need to plant for three days, and four people can earn 600 merit points.
