Global Lords: Me and My Calabash Kiddos

"Ice Celestial Silkworm, larval stage, Strength 5, Constitution 5, Agility 5, Spiritual Power 100. Special Talent: Cold Attack, Spiritual Power damage increased by 100%. Once mature, the Ice Celestial Silkworm can produce one unit of Ice Celestial Silkworm Silk per day."

Yi Tian looked at the introduction for the Ice Celestial Silkworm, deep in thought.

This Ice Celestial Silkworm doesn’t have a "Potential" description, but it does have skills comparable to SSS level.

From its cold breath, it doesn’t seem loyal to him.

Quite a temper!

"Liyue, I’ll leave this Ice Celestial Silkworm to you from now on. When they grow up, you can use them to make beautiful clothes."

Yi Tian stopped teasing the Ice Celestial Silkworm and spoke to Liyue.

"Thank you, Lord! Our clothes are already beautiful." Liyue was delighted; all women love pretty clothes, and they were no exception.

Yi Tian started to observe Liyue’s cultivation.

Last night, Liyue’s Spiritual Power was 758.

After one night, Liyue’s Spiritual Power was 773.

An increase of fifteen points in total.

Rich Spiritual Power, plus the Flower Spirit buff, made their progress ridiculously fast.

So fast, it made Yi Tian envious.

Liyue and Qixin spent over ten years outside, but one month cultivating in Yi Tian’s territory among the Spirit Flower clusters beats that.

The Little Kiddos with Divine-level Potential weren’t bad either: Second Child, Fourth Child, Fifth Child, Sixth Child, Seventh-Child all gained 12 points of Spiritual Power and ten points in three-dimensional stats.

Big Child and Third Child, three-dimensional stats increased by 35 total, Spiritual Power up by three.

In this situation, their potential was fully unleashed.

What Yi Tian didn’t expect was that Liyue and Qixin, along with the Little Kiddos, weren’t the fastest at boosting their strength.

Fastest progression came from the Five Tiger Generals; they devoured the Origin of Fierce Beast, leveled up their potential, very different from other naturally-born Fierce Beasts’ cultivation.

In one night, the Five Tiger Generals’ three-dimensional stats increased by 40 total, Spiritual Power by 15.

Physical body and Spiritual Power, advancing together.

The other SS-potential Fierce Beasts’ three-dimensional stats increased by 25 in total.

The Twelve-winged Tiger Star Beast’s three-dimensional stats went up 25, plus an added 8 in Spiritual Power.

Water Qilin, Yin Yang Giant Panda—each gained 30 in stats, and 9 in Spiritual Power.

A bit short of Yi Tian’s expectations; he thought they’d catch up with the Elemental Warriors.

In the end, Yi Tian’s own cultivation was the slowest. But Yi Tian isn’t a Gourd Spirit, a Flower Spirit, or a high-potential Fierce Beast. Skills like absorbing Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi or Essence of Sun and Moon while sleeping just aren’t his.

If Yi Tian could put in a solid day of training, he wouldn’t fall far behind. But he simply didn’t have the time.

He’s already mastered his own cultivation rhythm.

Back to work again, Yi Tian needed to buy basic items for the new employees.

Total cost: 50 million Celestial Dao Coins, averaging over ten thousand coins per person, all for living essentials.

Once you have the numbers, it’s easy to spend huge amounts of Celestial Dao Coins.

Yi Tian could hardly fathom the scale of his future operations.

That stockpile of tens of billions of Celestial Dao Coin in resources? Actually, it’s not that much.

Over a thousand women—aside from two buildings allocated to them, the original women’s dorm still houses over two hundred people. Just enough capacity.

The rest of the buildings are male dorms.

As for the cafeteria, Yi Tian needed to pick locations to set them up.

Yi Tian planned for two on the north side, one on the west, and one on the south.

Time to search the auction house.

Sure enough, he found a fully decorated restaurant design map.

Pots, pans, tables, chairs—everything handled with a single blueprint.

Four-story building: besides the first, second, third, and fourth floor halls, there are over a hundred private rooms. Enough to accommodate 2,500 diners at once.

Similar design maps—Yi Tian already had some.

Yi Tian’s were deluxe restaurant blueprints, this one is for a deluxe diner.

Obviously, the diner blueprint is a notch lower—it’s for eating only, not lodging. Most likely from a Platinum Treasure Chest.

Yi Tian bought four fully decorated diner design maps, one million each, four million Celestial Dao Coins in total.

At the same time, Yi Tian bought two large-scale solar ice storage design maps to add two ice storages to the territory.

After summer passes, plenty of Lords get large ice storage blueprints during the evaluation, some choose to keep them to build when rich, some choose to sell them.

But the selling price is steep—a full three million apiece, pricier than large luxury villa blueprints! Practically daylight robbery.

Yi Tian endured it and paid six million.

After all, ice storage is strategic—it’s the Lord’s most vital warehouse.

In summer, Lords with Ice Storage make huge profits.

Yi Tian also spent a million Celestial Dao Coin to buy two office building design maps.

Seven floors per office, and the blueprint was cheap.

One for the Galaxy Catering Company, one for the Galaxy Agriculture Company.

In addition, Yi Tian bought five classical shop design maps, each for 200,000 Celestial Dao Coins.

Each shop is three stories, covers 200 square meters.

One is a beverage/alcohol shop, one for daily general merchandise, one for desserts, one for grains and oil, one for fruits and vegetables.

After this, daily necessities besides the initial free distribution must be bought at the Points Store.

Points Coins aren’t infinite, and Yi Tian wants to keep recycling them.

Grain/oil and fruits/vegetables stores—these are for territory members who want to cook for themselves, and for fruit supply to territory members.

Beverages/alcohol and desserts—these add a bit of fun for territory members; food doesn’t have to be repetitive.

Of course, the alcohol is just regular stuff bought in the auction house.

Spirit Wine requires a high amount of points for exchange at the Points Tower.

Four diners.

In the north, the two—one is placed next to the residential area.

The other is located next to the training ground.

This arrangement is very convenient for the Dragon Sparrow Guard and territory members during meals.

The western diner, Yi Tian chose to place at the west city gate.
