Global Lords: Me and My Calabash Kiddos

Chapter 57: Chapter 50: Shan Dashan’s Fear

From the Mercenary System, Yi Tian could tell that all major regions had already experienced the Fish-eating Stork event.

Since that was the case, Yi Tian decided not to accept any more missions.

He took out the Junior-level Mist Scroll he’d been saving for a long time, planning to head out and see the surrounding environment with his own eyes.

Yi Tian had two Mist Scrolls: one high-level, one junior-level. This time he’d use the junior-level one to test the waters.

With a Lord outside, the safety factor was still pretty reliable. In case of danger, he could teleport back at any time. It would just be a waste of the Mist Scroll.

The Junior-level Mist Scroll could only bring five living creatures in or out.

The first person Yi Tian brought along was Second Child, and the second was Tiger One.

He didn’t bring anyone else; Yi Tian felt it was enough—it wasn’t like they were going to fight a war.

If there was any trouble in the territory, the Celestial Dao Stone would notify him, and Yi Tian would instantly teleport back.

Yi Tian and Second Child both sat atop Tiger One and arrived at the edge of the mist on the eastern side.

”Activate Junior-level Mist Scroll.”

As soon as Yi Tian finished speaking, the Junior-level Mist Scroll in his hand slowly unfurled.

A beam of light shot out from the Mist Scroll and landed at Yi Tian’s feet.

This was the teleportation function of the Mist Scroll setting a return coordinate.

Another beam of light shot from the Mist Scroll—this time, toward the mist.

A door slowly opened...

”Detected Lord using Junior-level Mist Scroll, Gate of the World Wall has opened. The gate will close in ten seconds!” The Celestial Dao Stone reminded him in Yi Tian’s mind.

Yi Tian didn’t hesitate and told Tiger One to step through the Gate of the World Wall.

With one step, sure enough—it was another world, even the air temperature was different.

Yi Tian stood on a flat plain, and not far off was a forest.

Looking at the forest, Yi Tian even had the urge to chop it down and haul the timber home.

He shook his head hard, quickly abandoning that slacker mindset.

”Tiger One, let’s enter the forest!” Yi Tian said to Tiger One.

Tiger One, swift as the wind, leapt into the woods and darted deeper in.

With only four hours, Yi Tian didn’t want to waste a minute. He needed to use the time to find out if there were any other Lords nearby, or other tribes.

Tribes and Lords weren’t necessarily enemies. As long as there hadn’t been any conflict, they could become friends.

Mutually beneficial friends!

For example, there was timber everywhere here. When Lords were short on wood, letting the Indigenous People cut it and having Yi Tian sell it could surely earn him a Gold Mountain.

Or, Yi Tian could buy things from the auction house that were dirt cheap there but extremely valuable among the tribes.

Both sides could benefit from this arrangement!

”Second Child, have a look around and see if anything’s out of the ordinary.”

After running for a while, Yi Tian pinched the little face of Second Child, who was sitting in front of him.

”Okay, Daddy.”

Second Child’s eyes flashed with rainbow light; here, without the restriction of the World Wall, she could see for a hundred li around.

”Daddy, I didn’t see any people; there are some fierce beasts, but definitely not a match for Big Tiger,” Second Child said to Yi Tian.

”Go deeper!” Tiger One ran through the forest for an hour.

It was forest after forest—it felt endless.

The fierce beasts sensed Tiger One’s Tiger’s Fury and steered clear, keeping far away.

Second Child would occasionally use Thousand-Mile Eye to update Yi Tian on nearby conditions.

”Daddy, about a hundred li ahead there’s a dome like mist—it looks just like ours.” After using Thousand-Mile Eye again, Second Child turned and lifted her little face to say.

”Detected another Lord’s territory. During the Lord Mist Scroll period, you may enter or exit other Lords’ territories freely.”

”Upon entering another territory, the Mist Scroll’s teleportation function will be disabled.”

The Celestial Dao Stone’s voice sounded in Yi Tian’s mind.

”What a move, Celestial Dao!”

Yi Tian knew very well the consequences of the Mist Scroll working that way.

”Tiger One, head for the mist!” After some hesitation, Yi Tian decided to go in and have a look.

Yi Tian liked to develop quietly. He disliked others invading him, and he didn’t like to invade others either.

He mainly wanted to see whether this mist covered Sam’s place—or maybe it belonged to one of those Sam’s flunkies who kept cursing him.

If it was them, Yi Tian wouldn’t be polite!

Of course, if Qin Fanshuang’s calculations were right, judging by Sam’s ID, Sam’s territory should be quite far from Yi Tian’s.

With Tiger One’s Wind and Lightning speed and endurance, a hundred li only took about ten minutes.

”Charge in!” Reaching the edge of the mist, Yi Tian didn’t hesitate to command Tiger One to dash inside.

Zone 66, Lord No. 99996: Black Stone Star Human Race Shan Dashan.

”Emperor Shan, will you die if you stop boasting for a day?”

”Yeah, Emperor Shan, quit the bragging and just focus on your territory! We’re never gonna believe your claims.”

Shan Dashan was humbly bragging as usual, chatting and talking big with a bunch of people from the zone he’d never met, thoroughly enjoying himself.

He liked this feeling—only this way did he not feel lonely. Between him and the indigenous slaves, there wasn’t even a shred of common ground for conversation.

Shan Dashan had subdued four slaves; though only E-level, they were real workhorses. He’d never have to worry about food and drink again.

Shan Dashan mused that with things like this, he was practically an emperor of old times.

”Attention Lord, detected an invading Lord entering your territory, please prepare your defenses!”

A voice boomed in Shan Dashan’s mind, scaring him so much he leapt off his bed.

”Guys! I’m being invaded by another Lord, what the heck is going on? Is anyone else experiencing this?” Shan Dashan hurriedly sent a barrage message on the zone channel to ask.

”Emperor Shan, that’s not a funny joke!” Pigman Race Pig Boar.

”Yeah, Emperor Shan, pick another thing to brag about! Nobody’s buying this.” Sheep-headed Yang Yangyang.

”Brother Pig, Brother Sheep, I’m not lying! If I am, may I die without a burial! Has anyone else experienced this?” Black Stone Star Human Race Shan Dashan.

”This can happen; I’ve used a Junior-level Mist Scroll before. It lets Lords bring a few people out of their territory. Be careful—whoever’s coming is probably not friendly.” Forest Elf Mumu Qingqing.

”Ahhh~~~”

...

”What do I do! An intruder this aggressive must be someone like Sam. I’m doomed. Guys, remember me, Black Stone Star Human Race Shan Dashan!” Shan Dashan was in utter despair—already starting to write his will.

”Cut that out! Emperor Shan, whoever invaded you is definitely someone from our zone. Tell us who it is and we’ll avenge you.” Pig Boar replied with much loyalty.

He still had one message left to send today—he was touched, but didn’t reply to Pig Boar. He’d make sure to let the world know about the malicious villain who invaded him so their name would forever stink in history.

Yi Tian had no idea what was happening in the group. He just observed this territory—pretty ordinary!

The little wooded area had less than half its trees left, and the mountains were practically bare. The ”clang clang” sound of stone being struck came from afar—probably mining.

The courtyard wasn’t bad: over four meters of stone wall.

There were over a hundred acres of fields outside the yard, a sea of green.

Tiger One soon arrived at Shan Dashan’s main gate.

Creaaak!

The heavy iron-plated wooden door was pulled open; Shan Dashan, spear in hand, bow on his back, strode out with the air of a man facing death.

The first thing Shan Dashan saw wasn’t Yi Tian, nor Second Child, but the gigantic White Tiger.

Yi Tian had the Celestial Dao Stone, so Shan Dashan couldn’t see any info on him.

But the White Tiger’s info popped up instantly.

Strength 600, Agility 600, Speed 600. Legendary Spiritual Power 500. SSS-level Talent: Golden Tiger Roar!

Shan Dashan nearly peed himself—his hands went weak before he could even muster the courage to fight back.

A hundred Shan Dashans wouldn’t be enough for the Golden Tiger to kill!

I’m unlucky on Black Stone Star, and just as unlucky in Celestial Dao World?

In his panic, he didn’t even have time to send his ”final words.”

He didn’t even notice Shadow Qianqian’s message offering mercenary hires.

”Lord, report your name! What’s your race?” Yi Tian put on a stern face and intimidated Shan Dashan.

This guy clearly wasn’t Sam, but maybe one of Sam’s flunkies?

He looked like the Human Race, but that didn’t necessarily mean he was.

”Shan Dashan, Black Stone Star Human Race.” Shan Dashan blurted out his name, scared by the Golden Tiger.

Which Great God is this? Why are you bullying my little patch of land with your awesomeness!

If you’re so powerful, go conquer the major districts and challenge Wealthiest in the World!

”You’re Shan Dashan? Hmm, not Sam.” Yi Tian carefully sized up the man the zone’s Lords jokingly nicknamed ”Emperor Shan.”

Yi Tian had teased him himself several times before.

People in the zone like Gui Jie, Pig Boar, Skage, Shan Dashan, Yang Yangyang, Deer Biyong, Ma Rulong, etc., all knew Yi Tian pretty well.

”No, even though we both have ’Shan’ in our names, I’m not Sam.” Shan Dashan’s eyes darted—maybe this guy was looking for Sam to settle a grudge.

Sam had pissed off plenty of people with that mouth of his.

Although Shan Dashan bragged all the time, he was good-natured—never insulted anyone, at most made a few jokes.

”Alright! No problem, then. Emperor Shan, mind if I come in for a look?” Yi Tian hopped off Tiger One while holding Little Kiddo.

”Great God, please!” Shan Dashan saw he wasn’t here for trouble. His pounding heart finally slowed a bit.

He was really curious about the kid in Yi Tian’s arms. How did this big shot even bring a kid over? Didn’t the Celestial Dao Stone say only people aged 15 to 40 could transmigrate?

If only he could’ve brought his daughter along—it wouldn’t be so lonely talking to a bunch of guys all day.

Wait!

Something’s off?

Damn, I was still a virgin on Black Stone Star, never even had a girlfriend.

Shan Dashan didn’t bother using the Celestial Dao Stone to scan Second Child, or he wouldn’t think this way.

”Wow! You stocked up pretty well!” Yi Tian remarked, seeing all sorts of smoked meats hanging under Shan Dashan’s eaves, and a vegetable garden with all kinds of produce.

”Daddy, this guy’s so poor! And what a crappy house,” Second Child said arrogantly and disdainfully.

Was Shan Dashan embarrassed or what!

Poor? My life is just fine, thank you very much!

Yi Tian felt a little guilty, too—he’d also lived in a woodshed and started from scratch.

”Great Divine Venerable, what’s your name?” Shan Dashan asked Yi Tian. He figured Yi Tian must be one of those self-important Lords who never chatted in the zone.

There were plenty of those Lords in the zone—they only spoke up if something happened.

”Me? Yi Tian. You should know me.” Yi Tian didn’t plan on hiding it. The only one he needed to stay hidden from was Wealthiest in the World.

If Wealthiest in the World was exposed, those he’d worked for would realize the world’s number two mercenary was Wealthiest in the World himself.

Once the auction house spread the word, the whole Celestial Dao World would know.

Unless Yi Tian stopped taking mercenary missions altogether, he’d always need to keep his guard up.

”Ah! So it’s Yi Tian the Big Shot! You really look as dashing as I imagined. And your daughter is just too cute!” Shan Dashan was taken aback.

So Yi Tian, who chatted with them all this time, wasn’t just strong in his territory—their actual strength was sky-high.

Their Human Race really had such a powerhouse—he felt proud just thinking about it.

Right! The one Sam hated most was Yi Tian the Big Shot. And the feud between Yi Tian and Sam went back a long, long way.

If Sam ever got found by Yi Tian, he’d definitely get his head smashed in.
