Global Lords: Me and My Calabash Kiddos

"There are a lot of things that Dao Coins can’t accomplish." Ninth Shop didn’t give Yi Tian any chance at all.

"I see you’re buying advanced architectural design maps too. I’ll use a design map to trade with you. Basic City Building Order Design Map—you don’t have a single one here, you must need it."

Yi Tian was speechless for a moment, then pondered and sent another message.

Discovering the Ninth Shop was an unexpected windfall, but he also realized that in the Celestial Dao World, the talents are endless, never be arrogant or complacent.

At its core, the most outstanding people in the Top-Level Region are the true Celestial Prides.

In the Ninth Shop, there were quite a few things Yi Tian needed.

Two Thunder Beads—Yi Tian plans to buy them and give them to Big Child and Third Child.

Two Flame Beads—Yi Tian plans to buy one for himself.

If possible, he’ll try to buy the other one too.

S-level Talent Blood Pearl—Yi Tian could buy it to put in the Points Tower to motivate his subordinates.

Level 5 Fighting Mastery Cultivation Ball—Yi Tian could give this to Third Child.

Big Child can wait till later, although he seems more interested in Weapon Mastery, especially the big Iron Spear. Big Child’s Mountain Cleave is melee, but the limits are too great.

Third Child is a humanoid weapon—having Fighting Mastery will greatly boost Third Child’s Attack Power.

Yi Tian uses sword, so Fighting Mastery would honestly be wasted on him.

Also, as for the B-level Pills in the Ninth Shop, Yi Tian plans to buy them all, to boost the Kiddo’s strength—if possible, get them all to 1000.

B-level Pills are far more effective than B-level Spirit Fruits.

The Little Kiddos have Divine Talent. If their three-dimensional stats and Spiritual Power hit 1000, it’s a huge upgrade for the territory.

Yi Tian’s potential and cultivation speed can’t catch up to the Little Kiddos, but he eats way more stuff than they do, so he’s already left them far behind.

Now that there’s a chance to boost the Little Kiddos’ strength, Yi Tian isn’t giving up—even if he takes a loss or pays a price!

"One Basic City Building Order Design Map for one Flame Bead." Ninth Shop said to Yi Tian.

"You’re savage! I think that’s not enough. One Basic City Building Order Design Map is worth a Flame Bead and a Thunder Bead." Yi Tian didn’t agree to that deal.

Right now, what the super tycoons most want to get their hands on is the Basic City Building Order Design Map.

If Yi Tian bundled the Basic City Building Order Design Map with 2,000 Spirit-level Stones for sale, he could easily sell it for a sky-high price.

"No Lord is craftier than Wealthiest in the World!" Ninth Shop shot back at Yi Tian with a joke.

"To be fair, the Basic City Building Order Design Map is far more valuable. You keep saying you don’t want Dao Coins, but if I auctioned one off in the personal auction house, it’d sell for a Heavenly Price. I admit Dao Coins aren’t omnipotent, but at least most stuff in your shop can be bought with Dao Coins." Yi Tian was not convinced by this offer.

Also, Yi Tian asked himself—he’s not crafty at all.

"Slaying a Celestial Beast is much harder than getting a King’s Treasure Chest. King’s Treasure Chest isn’t just about the Basic City Building Order Design Map." Ninth Shop hinted.

"Slaying Celestial Beast isn’t just about Flame and Thunder Beads; King’s Treasure Chest doesn’t necessarily drop a City Building Order!"

Yi Tian started arguing with Ninth Shop.

"Since the first day of autumn, the chance to get a Basic City Building Order from the King’s Treasure Chest is 30%. That’s not low!"

Ninth Shop’s responses were steady and clear.

"Alright! Let’s compromise. I’ll trade two Basic City Building Order Design Maps for two Thunder Beads and one Flame Bead." Yi Tian realized Ninth Shop wasn’t moving and had to back down a bit.

"Two Flame Beads, one Thunder Bead!" Ninth Shop also stepped back but changed Yi Tian’s offer.

"Does it matter?" Flame Bead can only be used once—to boost body’s affinity with fire.

"It matters! Thunder Bead is worth at least 50% more than Flame Bead." Ninth Shop replied.

"I’ll throw in a Royal Palace Design Map to buy your Thunder Bead!"

Yi Tian admitted Ninth Shop had a point.

"Basic City Building Order is hugely helpful for Lord defense. Royal Palace is flashy but useless—can’t compare to Thunder Bead. Unless you give me two Royal Palace Design Maps!" Ninth Shop rejected firmly and set her terms.

"Two Royal Palace Design Maps feels like a loss. You throw in 10 B-level Pills for cultivation."

Yi Tian made his counter offer.

"Wealthiest in the World has resources by the hundreds of billions, still going after little change?" Ninth Shop teased.

"I’m just claiming what I deserve. That’s all!" Yi Tian was not embarrassed at all.

Compared to a Royal Palace Design Map worth billions of Dao Coins, ten B-level Pills really aren’t much.

"Deal!" Ninth Shop agreed to the exchange.

With these advanced buildings, it’ll be easier to attract Lords and get what she needs.

"I’ll use one more Royal Palace Design Map to get a Fighting Mastery LV.5 Cultivation Bead." Yi Tian pushed his luck.

"Deal! Top-level Races have completely underestimated Wealthiest in the World."

This time Ninth Shop didn’t haggle. For Lords focused on Enchanted Weapons, Fighting Mastery LV.5 isn’t as good as Flame Bead, and definitely below Thunder Bead.

Her next words were a bit ambiguous.

"Last one, S-level Talent Blood Pearl—what do you want for it?"

This was the big prize, even more precious than Thunder Bead.

After a drop of blood, you get S-level Fierce Talent; activate Fierce, strength and constitution go up 50%.

Fierce Talent—Yi Tian saw this on Meng Menglong.

"I’m easy. So long as you offer something I’m satisfied with, anything goes!" Ninth Shop said carelessly again.

"[Super Castle Design Map*1], [Celestial Dao Essence*1], how about it?"

Yi Tian went to the villa’s little warehouse, rummaged through everything, then recorded two messages with Celestial Dao Stone.

In the little warehouse there were 18 Large Villa Design Maps, 6 Large Deluxe Villa Design Maps, 4 Medium Castle Design Maps, 5 Small Manor Design Maps, 3 Nine-story Attic Design Maps, and 1 Large Castle Design Map.
