Global Lords: Me and My Calabash Kiddos

Chapter 74: Chapter 66: Diamond Treasure Chest, Cyan Gang Sword, Second Senior Brother Pig Boar

The defeat of the Heaven-Reaching High Priest shattered the remaining indigenous warriors.

Within this small territory, as far as the eye could see, the Five Tigers, Little White, and Little Moon gave chase, leaving the natives with nowhere to run or hide.

After the Eastsea Falcon lowered its flying altitude, Yi Tian and the Little Kiddos jumped off its back.

”Surrender and you won’t be killed! Your tribe will have the chance to ransom you back later. Otherwise, there will be no mercy!”

Yi Tian stood before the group of captives, holding a bow, and shouted.

Many had witnessed firsthand how this Lord easily crushed the Heaven-Reaching High Priest’s Earth-Fire Giant, and were scared stiff.

But both the Heaven-Reaching Tribe and the Three-Eyed One-Horned Tribe knew that if they fell into the hands of this Lord, there was a chance to be ransomed.

Especially for the Three-Eyed One-Horned Tribe, this had already happened twice before.

As a large number of Elemental Warriors and Brass Mechanized Guards streamed out of the city, the indigenous tribes surrendered their weapons one after another, becoming prisoners of the territory.

A crushing defeat, heartbreak and despair—the idea of fighting again was absolutely meaningless.

”Congratulations, Lord, for successfully resisting the indigenous invasion. Reward: 50 three-dimensional free attribute points, 2 Platinum Treasure Chests, 1 Diamond Treasure Chest. Rewards are based on the Seventh-Level Territory and the intensity of the indigenous invasion.”

Just as the natives finished surrendering, the Celestial Dao Stone issued Yi Tian a reward notification.

Two Platinum Treasure Chests and one Diamond Treasure Chest materialized at the spot where the natives surrendered.

Yi Tian was very satisfied with the harvest—no wonder Seventh-Level Territory’s rewards are so much better than Sixth-Level’s.

”Gu Qianqiu, gather a team to clean up the battlefield! Pile up the corpses together, assemble the captives in one place; if anyone is too badly wounded, send them off. I’ll have the Five Tigers and Howling Moon Silver Wolf assist you—Elemental Warriors will guard the prisoners.”

Yi Tian didn’t rush to open the chests; instead, he asked Gu Qianqiu to take care of the most important matters first.

With this weather, if the corpses sit for one day, the territory would be contaminated.

Yi Tian had to hand the job off to Pig Boar for cremation—Pig Boar’s large crematorium has five incinerators, able to burn over a hundred corpses at once.

”As you command, Lord.”

Gu Qianqiu was about to leave when Yi Tian added, ”Those two Wizards aren’t dead yet, right? They’re weird as hell—tie them up properly with Profound Iron Alloy Chains. Any surviving Gold captives, bind them all with Profound Iron Alloy Chains.”

”Understood, Lord!”

Gu Qianqiu dragged the two High Priests away.

”Open the two Platinum Treasure Chests.”

After Gu Qianqiu left, Yi Tian took out the Celestial Dao Stone and scanned the two Platinum Treasure Chests.

”Platinum*5, Celestial Dao Coin*30,000, Medium Villa Design Blueprint*1, Top-level Tree Cyan Jade Willow Tree*100, Skill Upgrade Scroll*1 (can’t upgrade Martial Skill), High-level Fog Scroll*1, A-level Spirit Flower Blue Spirit Peony*2, A-level Weapon Cyan Gang Sword*1.”

”Platinum*5, Celestial Dao Coin*30,000, Ten-story Five-unit Apartment Blueprint*1, Large-scale Solar Harvester*1, Top-grade Wood Four Seasons Plum Tree*100, A-level Spirit Flower Purple Spirit Rose*2, High-level Fog Scroll*1.”

After opening both Platinum Treasure Chests, a heap of items appeared in front of Yi Tian.

Yi Tian sorted through the loot.

The Medium Villa blueprint—Yi Tian originally had a Small Villa blueprint and was planning to auction it tomorrow, but unexpectedly got a Medium one as well.

Yi Tian realized that even among Platinum Treasure Chests, you could get different grades of villas.

Looks like luck really matters!

Cyan Jade Willow Tree, with leaves as green as jade. ”Ten thousand strands of emerald silk hang down”—this line is the perfect description for the Cyan Jade Willow Tree.

Just like the Phoenix Tree, the Platinum Treasure Chest also gives mature trees. Yi Tian planned to plant the Cyan Jade Willows along the banks of the creek to beautify the estate.

Cyan Gang Sword—a prince’s saber from a certain planet, sharp enough to slice hair and cut iron like clay. Increases Attack Power in combat!

Skill Upgrade Scroll—after getting the Cyan Gang Sword, Yi Tian decided to level up Swordsmanship Mastery.

”Congratulations, Lord, on using the Skill Upgrade Scroll; Swordsmanship Mastery +1; current Swordsmanship Mastery LV.6. At Swordsmanship Mastery LV.6, attacks with a sword increase Attack Power by 60%. If the wielder has Spiritual Power, Sword Qi can be unleashed for long-range attacks, with an extra 10% Attack Power boost.”

After upgrading Swordsmanship Mastery to LV.6, Yi Tian felt his understanding of the sword deepen significantly.

Yi Tian had 400 Spiritual Power Value, so unleashing Sword Qi meant an attack power of 440—quite a boost for ranged strikes.

With 339 Strength, a 60% Swordsmanship Mastery bonus, and the Cyan Gang Sword—without even using his talent, Yi Tian now had Early-stage Gold Attack Power.

Of course, that’s just Attack Power. Defense and speed are lacking, so Yi Tian still couldn’t go head-on against Golden Warriors.

Two High-level Fog Scrolls—is Celestial Dao hinting at something?

Blue Spirit Peony*2, Purple Spirit Rose*2—both types have bloomed, one treats external injuries, the other internal wounds. Spirit Flowers and Spirit Grass rarely grant direct power upgrades upon ingestion.

Four Seasons Plum Tree, five meters tall, blooms year-round, impervious to cold or heat—an excellent ornamental tree. Yi Tian planned to plant a grove behind the villa and to the west of the Martial Arts Arena.

Ten-story Five-unit Apartment Blueprint—four bedrooms, two living rooms.

Yi Tian felt this blueprint was more practical than either villa blueprint.

As the territory grew, manpower was clearly insufficient.

Once constructed, at minimum it could house four hundred people.

Large-scale Solar Harvester—similar to Yi Tian’s current harvester, but not made on the same planet.

It was even more efficient than Yi Tian’s original harvester.

For Yi Tian at his current stage, this harvester was extremely useful.

”Open the Diamond Treasure Chest!”

After organizing the Platinum chest loot, Yi Tian’s eyes turned to the Diamond Treasure Chest.

”Diamond*5, Celestial Dao Coin*150,000, S-level Spirit Fruit Four Symbols Pine Tree*1, Restraining Belt*5, Large Villa Design Blueprint*1, S-level Pill Marrow Cleansing Pill*1, B-level Strong Bow Crystal*1, Top-level Fog Scroll*1, Earth Element Core*3.”

Four Symbols Pine Tree—flowers and fruits mature in 400 moons, producing 24 pinecones. Each pinecone holds four pine nuts: red adds 10 Spiritual Power, blue 10 Strength, white 10 Agility, black 10 Physique.

It needs 100 more drops of Life Spirit Liquid than Vermilion Fruit or Cyan Spirit Fruit, but the effect is much stronger.

Restraining Belt—can seal 95% of the physical power and all types of energy for any living creature below S-level.

Once the captives are counted, see if anybody’s a troublemaker—then slap a belt on them.

This thing is a godsend!

Large Villa Blueprint—another villa, making small, medium, and large complete.

However, this large villa isn’t as luxurious as Yi Tian’s super villa.

Don’t even mention the glass-like floors and walls in Yi Tian’s own villa—just the three stories of the large villa can’t compare to Yi Tian’s four-story villa.

Marrow Cleansing Pill—increases Physique and Strength by 20 each, an absolute top-tier S-level Pill.

B-level Strong Bow Crystal—getting a B-level item from a Diamond chest seems odd, but the B-level Strong Bow only needs 300 Strength to fully draw and can kill any enemy with Physique under 500.

This isn’t just arming territory members—with it, Yi Tian could start a strong bow trade at the auction house.

This thing is way more popular than a B-level Weapon.

Top-level Fog Scroll—lets you leave the territory for 24 hours, taking up to 50 people at a time.

Earth Element Cores originating from the Diamond Treasure Chest—shows just how precious Element Cores are.

After opening all the treasure chests, Celestial Dao Coin balance: 5.23 million.

”Nice, putting everything else aside, just getting 70 points in three–dimensional attributes and 10 Spiritual Power this time from the Diamond chest is a massive win!”

Yi Tian first swallowed the Marrow Cleansing Pill; warmth surged through his body, Strength +20, Physique +20.

With fifty three-dimensional free attribute points, Yi Tian added +20 Agility, +20 Physique, +10 Strength.

After all those boosts:

Strength: 369.

Physique: 372.

Agility: 371.

Spiritual Power Value: 400.

After a round of redistribution, Yi Tian’s stats are balanced, his combat power is formidable.

Some items were handed off to Liyue and Qixin to store in the boutique warehouse.

Little Blue grabbed the Four Symbols Pine Tree and moved it to the villa’s backyard.

The other trees would be planted once Gu Qianqiu and the team finished up.

”Lord, this time we captured two Wizards, two Golden Warriors with three-dimensional attributes above 800, one Golden Warrior above 900, plus five regular Golden Warriors—all with varying degrees of injury. We also captured a total of 150 Silver Warriors and 430 Bronze Warriors. The spoils are still being counted.”

When Yi Tian returned to the North City gate, Gu Qianqiu reported to him.

”The strongest Golden Warriors are tough to control. Here are Restraining Belts—use them to bind the three strongest Golden Warriors and the two High Priests. You hold on to the keys.” Yi Tian handed the Restraining Belts to Gu Qianqiu.

Since it was impossible to trade with the natives at the moment, strict control was necessary to prevent rebellion.

The Restraining Belts are well-designed and can be adjusted in length. Once bound to a living creature’s waist, unless you’ve got S-level strength, only the key can open it.

This time, we’ve caught two big fish—after the Summer Beasts are gone or wiped out, Yi Tian fully intended to squeeze them for all they’re worth.

”Understood!”

Gu Qianqiu was delighted; just now, he was worried about handling all these captives.

Golden Warriors heal quickly; if one recovers, Gu Qianqiu could be in serious trouble.

This haul of spoils would be massive—lots of Divine Weapons, Horn Bows, Beast Cores. Yi Tian would rake in a fortune.

”Brother Pig? You there?”

Yi Tian opened the Celestial Dao Stone chat system and contacted Pig Boar via private channel.

”Boss, what’s up? I’m checking the chat partitions—lots of familiar faces are still alive, which is great.” Pig Boar replied to Yi Tian.

”Mhm, I’ve got a bunch of indigenous corpses here I can’t handle—could you help cremate them? I’ll send the corpses and cremation fee over in trade.” Yi Tian hoped Pig Boar wouldn’t shut down the incinerators in this heat.

”No problem. I’ve got ten slaves helping out, and plenty of people want me to handle their corpses. Thanks for showing me this money-making trick—this time’s free, next time I’ll do it half price.” Pig Boar said heartily.

”That won’t do, there are a lot of corpses. Brother Pig giving me half price is already very generous.” Yi Tian insisted on paying the cremation fee.

This was a long-term partnership, and he didn’t want to scare Pig Boar off!

Pig Boar was of the Pigman Race, and Yi Tian really wanted to know if Pig Boar looked like the ’Second Brother’ from Earth.

”Boss, no need to be formal. However many corpses, it’s just another batch in the incinerator—if one batch isn’t enough, we’ll do another.” Pig Boar didn’t mind at all.

”[......All kinds of corpses, 1,146 units, Celestial Dao Coin*60,000]Trade[None].”

Yi Tian didn’t say much more and drafted the transaction for the corpses and coins.

”Second Brother, just accept it—this isn’t something a few extra batches will solve. Otherwise, I’ll be embarrassed to ask for your help next time.” Yi Tian replied.

”Damn, Boss Yi Tian, are you at war with some country? You killed so many natives in such a short time?” Pig Boar was utterly baffled.

”High Territory Points,” Yi Tian answered casually.

”Uh! Boss, why are you calling me ’Second Brother’?” Pig Boar was sharp enough not to press further, instead probing why Yi Tian called him that.

”On our planet, there was once a big-eared, long-nosed, pig-headed, hefty Grand Marshal; since he and several brothers apprenticed under one master, we called him ’Second Brother’.” Yi Tian replied.

”Oh? Then Second Brother must be the top hunk of your planet!” Pig Boar asked.

”Mm! At least, that’s what I’ve always thought.” Yi Tian wasn’t really sure how to answer. Actually, Second Brother had a good sense of self-awareness.

Of course, if Second Brother ever visited Pig Boar’s home planet, he might well be the local heartthrob—it’s just a matter of perspective.

”Second Brother, let’s leave it there—I’ve got a battlefield to clean up, talk another time!” Yi Tian saw that Pig Boar accepted the transaction and the corpses disappeared, so he hurriedly found an excuse to log off.
