Strongest Lord by Opening Blind Boxes

Chapter 75: Chapter 75: Discovering an Intruder

Inside the Octagonal Cage, the appearance fee for an elite-level fighter was already as high as 100 Gold Coins!

Wang Yi sent out Man Datou to defeat Leonidas, and Nangong Jin then recruited him. The recruitment fee was 100 Gold Coins plus 100 points of Chaos Energy.

But with the recruitment critical hit, one became four, making the unit price for recruiting a Leonidas equivalent to 25 Gold Coins and 25 points of Chaos Energy!

Wang Yi felt this was still acceptable!

He had, of course, also used the Talent Assessment Machine to evaluate the four Leonidas. Their comprehensive rating was 82. They were pure combatants with all their talent focused on fighting, similar to Feng Yuxiu and Boyka. Ultimately, they were ”Soldier Types,” each with their own combat routines, and couldn’t use items like Skill Books to directly increase their power.

’Leonidas’s prototype is an ancient, famous general, a battle-hardened Spartan King. It’s a shame that now he’s just a barracks grunt. He only has talent for combat; I guess he’s lost everything else...’

’Nangong Jin is really great as a Military Governor. Recruiting from the Octagonal Cage is normally very random, making it difficult to assemble a standardized unit. With his recruitment critical hit, not only are the costs greatly reduced, but forming a standardized team has also become much simpler.’

Nangong Jin continued to organize the fighting matches, announcing, ”I’m holding a new match, featuring the professional fighter, Beast Taisen! Fighter Taisen is a Heroic Level combatant, with an appearance fee of 1,000 Gold Coins. Who dares to face him!”

’Holy shit, 1,000 Gold Coins! A Heroic Level fighter spawned! Beast Taisen?’

Wang Yi looked toward the Octagonal Cage. A flash of light appeared inside, the ground shook, and then a small giant over two meters tall appeared.

This small giant had dark skin and a buzz cut. His arms were thicker than Wang Yi’s waist. He looked like a half-beastman, with the build of a bear and veins bulging on his skin like earthworms. He wore boxing shorts and Boxing Gloves. Wang Yi looked up and exclaimed in shock, ’Holy shit, it’s Taisen PLUS!’

He recognized that face.

He had seen it on Earth Star!

It was just that this boxing champion in the Octagonal Cage was the ”Beast” version. He was two sizes larger than his real-life counterpart and looked quite terrifying.

’I’m afraid even Man Datou might not be able to handle this Beast Taisen. I can’t just let one thousand Gold Coins go down the drain. Do I have to send out Jelena, Gegeda, or Qin Mo?’

Just as Wang Yi was pondering this, he heard Gegeda’s cry in the distance. Qin Mo had appeared by Wang Yi’s side at some unknown point. He bowed and whispered in Wang Yi’s ear, ”Master, there’s an intruder. He came flying on a sword. Should we take him out?”

”Flying on a sword?” Wang Yi raised an eyebrow and said in a low voice, ”Don’t kill him yet. Come with me and let’s have a look!”

He stood up, looked at the crowd, and said, ”The match is paused. We have an uninvited guest. We’ll resume after dealing with them.”

After speaking, he quickly boarded the Profound Iron Heavy Armor - Prototype!

This was also a safety precaution. As long as he was inside the cockpit of Prototype No. 1, Wang Yi didn’t have to fear conventional assassinations.

Everyone else immediately stood up and followed.

Soon, the vast Eggshell Square was empty except for Beast Taisen, who stood there all alone, looking around in confusion and scratching his head.

Soon, Wang Yi saw the sword-rider. It was none other than Xiang Tianchen.

’Mid-stage Foundation Establishment, inheritor of the Sword Immortal Inheritance, Sea Patrol Envoy of Mengbai Island! It seems even after being stripped of their Lord status, a Player can still do pretty well. This Sword Immortal Inheritance is probably something many Lord Players would envy... Where is Mengbai Mountain? Is it a Player’s territory?’

Wang Yi wasn’t surprised that he could see Xiang Tianchen’s identity information. He didn’t care much about Xiang Tianchen himself, but he was more interested in Mengbai Island.

Xiang Tianchen was also sizing up Prototype No. 1 with great interest. Then he looked at Yang Wanli and said, ”Demon Beasts and a Mecha... Your territory is developing quite well, sir! My name is Xiang Tianchen, from the overseas Mengbai Island. Might I ask if it was you who moved a mountain, flew through the sky, and destroyed Black Mountain Stronghold?”

Yang Wanli didn’t understand why this person who could float in the air on an iron sword was questioning him. But now that he had cultivated the Netherworld Spell, both his temperament and disposition had changed. He gave a slight smile and said, ”It was not.”

”It was not?” Xiang Tianchen smiled, clearly unconvinced, and asked again, ”Might I ask if there are any Cultivators or a Cultivation Inheritance in your territory, sir?”

”No!”

”Then how did you manage to move a mountain and reverse day and night?”

”What does that have to do with you?”

”Can’t you satisfy my curiosity, sir?”

”Do I owe you something? Why should I satisfy you?”

Yang Wanli found the man before him baffling. He didn’t seem like a good person, and his expression turned cold.

Xiang Tianchen laughed heartily and said, ”No need to get angry, sir. I came here with no ill intent. Although my Lord and I also received the quest to eliminate Black Mountain Stronghold, this world is all about strength. Since you beat us to it, we accept it!”

”Is that so?” Jelena spoke up, scrutinizing Xiang Tianchen. ”But from the sound of it, you seem a little resentful!”

”Adults are talking. What’s a child like you butting in for?”

Xiang Tianchen glanced at Jelena and snorted dismissively. He then cupped his hands toward Yang Wanli and said, ”Since fate has brought us together, could you allow me to tour your territory?”

”How dare you disrespect the young miss! Seize him!”

Yang Qingniu and the others rushed out and immediately surrounded Xiang Tianchen.

Yang Wanli also snorted coldly, pointed at Xiang Tianchen, and said, ”Who do you think you are? Who has any fate with you? Tour my ass!”

As he spoke, he channeled the Tongyou Spell. A flash of gray light emanated from his pointing finger, and two Skeleton Infantry holding large sabers appeared, poised to strike Xiang Tianchen.

”A Necromancer? No, that’s not right. You’re a Demon Cultivator!”

Xiang Tianchen was startled and immediately retreated.

Jelena waved her hand and said, ”It’s fine. Stand down!”

Only then did Yang Qingniu, Yang Wanli, and the others hold back.

Xiang Tianchen couldn’t help but size up Jelena again. His eyes darted about, then he looked back at Yang Wanli and said, ”They say Immortals and Demons can’t coexist, but we’re both Players, so let’s not worry about that stuff. As a Chaos Lord, you must have a need for supplies, right? I’m the Sea Patrol Envoy of Mengbai Island. I’ve traveled the map quite a bit and have some good things on me. How about we make a trade?”

”A trade?”

Yang Wanli glanced toward Prototype No. 1. Seeing it nod slightly, he said, ”Alright. What good things do you have? Take them out and let’s have a look!”

Xiang Tianchen swiped a hand over his waistband. The waistband flashed with light, and items appeared one by one in front of him.

Wang Yi took a closer look. Xiang Tianchen had taken out a large pile of swords and sabers, four scrolls, a palm-sized yellow talisman paper, and three gemstones.

”How about it? There must be something you like, sir! You just destroyed Black Mountain Stronghold, so you must have gotten a lot of Gold Coins. I can sell these to you cheap. If you have Chaos Eggs, you can trade with those too!”

”Let me take a look first!”

Yang Wanli stepped forward, putting on an act, while Wang Yi piloted Prototype No. 1 a step forward as well, inspecting the items carefully.

’The swords, sabers, and other weapons that Xiang Tianchen took out don’t matter; I have no shortage of those.’

Among the four scrolls, three were [Fertile Field Vouchers], and the last one was the [Lumber Mill Construction Drawings].

The yellow talisman paper was a [Wooden Ox Spirit Talisman], which could summon a Wooden Ox Puppet when used.

As for the three gemstones, they were all Middle Grade ”Magic Crystals.” They were classified as Magic Items and could be used to restore Magic Power.

’I have no use for Magic Crystals, but Jelena should be able to use them.’

’Jelena is essentially a Magic Apprentice with limited Magic Power; she can only cast the Small Fireball Spell six times in a row. If she had Magic Crystals to replenish her Magic Power, her combat effectiveness would surely increase greatly.’

’They do have some value...’

Wang Yi felt that making a trade with Xiang Tianchen was possible.

”So, how about it? You see something you like, right? Tell you what, give me 5,000 Gold Coins, and all this stuff is yours. You can also use Chaos Eggs to pay instead of Gold Coins. Regardless of what hatches, a green-quality one counts for 100 Gold Coins, and a blue-quality one for 800 Gold Coins!”

Xiang Tianchen said, crossing his arms.

”The asking price is too high!” Wang Yi spoke up, but he was addressing Yang Wanli. ”Chief, let me handle the negotiations.”
