Global Lords: Me and My Calabash Kiddos

"Those captives are different; many of them have unique skills, worth thirty million in gold."

Yi Tian asserted firmly.

If Meng Menglong and other captives were put up for auction, they would sell for at most two billion Celestial Dao Coins, equivalent to over three million in gold.

The prices between the indigenous people and the Lords tend to balance.

Compared to last month, the price of captives has halved this month.

The same captives, Yi Tian couldn’t exchange for more Bright Stones anymore.

Especially since the price of gold has completely stabilized.

"Lord, I know resources are valuable to you. I offer twenty million units of gold to get my people back." The Fourth Beastman King had no choice but to raise the price.

"Not threefold, double that to sixty million units of gold. I’ll consider it." Yi Tian wanted to give the Fourth Beastman King some hope.

"Lord, don’t push it. Our tribe has plundered for years to gather twenty million units of gold. This is the limit of my tribe." The Fourth Beastman King would not back down further.

In his view, twenty million units of gold was already a substantial amount.

In the Limon Beastmen’s values, plundering is something to be proud of.

Among the Limon Beastmen, only "Warriors" have the qualification to plunder; the rest can only serve as laborers or strive to become "Warriors."

"Then forget it, I might as well sell to other Dao Body races." Yi Tian acted as if to break off negotiations.

"Twenty million units of gold, and one hundred thousand B-level Beast Cores," the Fourth Beastman King gritted his teeth and raised the price.

"Here’s the deal: you offer the same price as the Longlong Tribe, thirty million units of gold, plus three hundred thousand B-level Beast Cores," Yi Tian said to the Fourth Beastman King.

"Nonsense, how could the Longlong Tribe offer thirty million units of gold, the Queen Longlong isn’t a fool!" The Fourth Beastman King couldn’t bear it anymore, his emotions evident in his words.

"Twenty million units of gold, I’ll give you at most one hundred and fifty thousand B-level Beast Cores; otherwise, you can go ahead and sell Meng Menglong and others!"

Seeing Yi Tian silent for a long time, the Fourth Beastman King had to compromise and sent another message.

"Twenty million Celestial Dao units of gold, two hundred thousand B-level Beast Cores. That’s my bottom line; if you refuse, please leave."

Yi Tian saw it was about time and didn’t want to push the Fourth Beastman King to a dead end.

"Alright, in one hour. Deal!"

The Fourth Beastman King eventually agreed.

After three attacks by Yi Tian, the Fourth Vein of the Limon Beastmen was severely weakened both in manpower and finances.

Yi Tian didn’t just wait around; he activated the Mercenary System and accepted mercenary tasks.

Amid the mutual attacks of the Lords, he sought to acquire more Celestial Dao Stones.

One hour later, the Limon Beastman captives left the Celestial Prison, and Yi Tian acquired twenty million in gold and two hundred thousand B-level Beast Cores.

The gold was placed in the treasury by Seventh-Child, now totaling 1.3 billion units of gold.

Excluding Celestial Dao Coins, total resources from the Golden List: 1475 stars.

Yi Tian listed the two hundred thousand B-level Beast Cores at thirty thousand Celestial Dao Coins each in the auction.

With nothing else pressing, Yi Tian continued taking on mercenary tasks.

From morning until nine o’clock at night, he worked continuously all day.

In the Mercenary System, it was clear many mercenaries were unemployed.

This indicated part of the invaders’ Mist Scroll consumption.

Those mercenaries with less than a 50% success rate were abandoned by the Lords.

Only with an 80% success rate in the Mercenary System did employers have some confidence.

Like the ID "Alliance of the World," it was still a coveted hire by the Lords, guaranteeing survival if employed.

In the mercenary market, "Alliance of the World" received different treatment from the arena system.

It could be predicted that as soon as mercenaries with an 80%+ success rate started resting, invasion activities would come to a halt.

Invaders weren’t foolish; once they saw powerful mercenaries weren’t taking tasks, they couldn’t just deliver themselves to the enemy.

In ordinary circumstances, encountering a powerful mercenary was less likely than winning a lottery.

When that probability rises to 1%, invaders start weighing gains and losses.

The failure and death of many mercenary tasks are thanks to the invaders.

Many mercenaries outright rejected employment by invaders.

The ID "Alliance of the World" simply refused without reason!

The power gap allowed Yi Tian to quickly complete tasks.

In nine hours, he completed 182 tasks, besides eliminating 182 invaders, and also killed 5 mercenaries.

He obtained 180 Level 1 Sealed Celestial Dao Stones, and seven Second-Level Sealed Celestial Dao Stones.

Mercenary task completion: 771 times, win rate 100%.

Level 1 Sealed Celestial Dao Stones: 326.

Second-Level Sealed Celestial Dao Stones: 13.

Third-level Sealed Celestial Dao Stones: 1.

The Beast Cores listed in the morning were long sold, earning 6 billion Celestial Dao Coins.

Celestial Dao Coin balance: 6947 billion.

Shan Dashan sent feedback to Yi Tian, expressing remorse for Yi Tian; his War Shadow got seriously injured by his shot but escaped Skage’s territory.

This guy, with four legs, ran exceptionally fast. Shan Dashan couldn’t catch up even with his talent activated.

However, the nine subordinates brought by War Shadow were all left behind.

After returning the bow and A-level battle armor, Yi Tian found Shan Dashan had also enchanted the B-level Strong Bow.

Yi Tian comforted Shan Dashan not to concern himself with War Shadow.

"The War Shadow Leader is really nothing special!"

That night, he practiced the Celestial Ice Palm, then entered his Golden Arena, defending it for an hour. Only 30 challengers came.

The number of Lords challenging "Alliance of the World" kept decreasing.

They were all waiting to see what "Alliance of the World" would do after advancing to A-level.

The Lords believed that "Alliance of the World" was already at A-level’s peak, ready for promotion at any time.

With few Lords challenging, Yi Tian sought out Golden Arenas with over 200 consecutive wins.

Those Golden Arenas with over 100 consecutive wins had heard rumors today that "Alliance of the World" would sweep late-stage B-level Golden Arenas.

They all knew "Alliance of the World" came online to defend his arena at around 11 p.m.

After midnight, all late-stage B-level Golden Arenas withdrew, fearing the attention of "Alliance of the World."

Even those with less than 100 consecutive wins nervously withdrew their arenas.

This made Yi Tian’s effort go to waste.

Early-stage B-level, mid-level B, early-stage A...

All had large numbers of Golden Arenas, except the late-stage B-level Golden Arenas, which disappeared after midnight.

How boring!

Not time to rest yet; alone, Yi Tian practiced Misty Step Technique under the moonlight without taking Enlightenment Tea...

At 2 a.m., with the world in silence, all territory members and beasts were asleep.

Including Yi Tian, who practiced Misty Step Technique for an hour before retreating indoors to sleep.

Beside the villa, the Cloud Bamboo Forest.

Three bamboo beds hang on sturdy cloud bamboo.

The Yin Yang Giant Panda slept in the center, with Big Bear and Second Bear on either side.

Big Bear suddenly awoke from a dream where it and Second Bear were taken away by a group of armored warriors...

It instinctively sniffed the air, catching a familiar scent and familiar power.

To the territory, this was an unfamiliar force!

It knew at once that this was the armored men who besieged them the day before yesterday.

The scent came from the east, over the lake...
