Global Lords: Me and My Calabash Kiddos

Chapter 76: Chapter 68: The Value of Divine Weapons and Preparations for the Auction

After changing the mercenary status to ”active,” Yi Tian began working on another task.

Tomorrow is the second personal auction at the Wealth Tower, and Yi Tian needs to place the items he plans to auction on the Wealth Tower auction stage in advance.

Tomorrow’s auction will not be limited to Spirit Fruit.

There will be Spirit Wine, B-level Beast-Catching Celestial Nets, small villa design maps, medium villa design maps, SSS-level Spirit Tea, Healing Spirit Grass, B-level Strong Bow, various B-level weapons, and C-level weapons.

A High-level Fog Scroll will also be auctioned to test the waters.

Yi Tian currently has three High-level Fog Scrolls and one Top-level Fog Scroll.

Yi Tian looked at the materials needed to manufacture the B-level Strong Bow: B-level Beast Tendon *1, B-level Metal *1, Gold 3000, B-level Beast Core *1, Celestial Dao Coin *50000.

Yi Tian has collected plenty of B-level Beast Cores and Beast Tendons, and Gold is easy to obtain as it can be solved with money.

However, B-level Metal is not easy to acquire.

The materials Yi Tian currently has stored are only enough to manufacture three bows.

In the Celestial Dao World, there is no shortage of forging experts, and the Celestial Gift Race is just one among them.

Therefore, rare metals get bought up instantly once they appear at the auction.

Yi Tian wants to mass-produce B-level Strong Bow, so he needs to pay more attention to acquiring B-level Metal.

Additionally, Yi Tian has plenty of E-level and D-level Divine Weapons occupying warehouse space, so he directly auctions nearly four thousand Divine Weapons.

He only keeps over a thousand Divine Weapons above D-level for backup.

E-level weapons are priced at 10,000 Celestial Dao Coins each, and D-level weapons at 50,000 Celestial Dao Coins each, cheaper than the occasionally appearing auction weapons.

The total price amounting to 81.05 million Celestial Dao Coins was quite surprising. He didn’t expect such a huge wealth after these battles, which was more valuable than the obtained Beast Cores.

A mere ten thousand Celestial Dao Coins is only enough to add a few attribute points for an E-level Lord. However, holding an E-level weapon at least increases the Lord’s attack power by 10%. Especially for those proficient in weapons, it greatly enhances their strength.

While the Divine Weapons are numerous, the Lords not only need Divine Weapons but their territory slaves also need them to aid in combat. They can’t just fight with ordinary swords and knives!

Yi Tian spends 1.05 million more to manufacture three B-level Hard Bows using the stored Beast Cores, Beast Tendons, and B-level Metal, preparing to auction them.

Simultaneously, he tests the price of the B-level Hard Bow for future mass production.

This continued until nightfall, when Yi Tian simultaneously accepted mercenary missions while placing the items he needed to auction on the Wealth Tower auction stage.

The active status lasted until eight o’clock in the evening, with Yi Tian accepting missions 33 times, 20 of which were D-level and E-level missions, all completed easily. Even C-level missions had no setbacks.

After earning 33,000 Celestial Dao Coins, Yi Tian’s balance of Celestial Dao Coins: 85.5 million.

Number of mercenary missions: 221 times, success rate 100%.

Yi Tian remains steadfast like an old dog, possessing Mountain Lifting and Cauldron Carrying, Dragon Bow, Swordsmanship Mastery, Archery Mastery, Cyan Gang Sword, Celestial Ice Palm. As long as he’s not sabotaged, failing a C-level mission is very difficult.

Yi Tian has prepared the items for tomorrow’s auction.

Besides the Spirit Fruit from the last auction, he has also added one Pine Cone and three slices of Enlightenment Tea.

Additionally, three bottles of B-level Spirit Fruit Wine, three B-level Strong Bows, 20 C-level Horn Bows, 10 B-level Swords and Knives, 50 C-level Swords, Spears, Axes, Halberds, Automatic Beast-Catching Celestial Net *1, Small Villa Design Map *1, Medium Villa Design Map *1, High-level Fog Scroll *1, two A-level Healing Spirit Grass, and ten B-level Healing Spirit Grass.

These items, interspersed with Spirit Fruit sale, form a large-scale personal auction.

Ranging from SSS-level down to C-level, from weapons to boosting strength, and healing, to villas, and fine wine, if that’s not enough, one can go out into the mist for a complete entertainment experience!

”Regarding the care of the prisoners, send ten Silver Warriors at night, and I’ll dispatch ten Elemental Warriors along with the Five Tigers and Howling Moon Celestial Wolf.”

Yi Tian instructed Gu Qianqiu on the matters concerning the prisoner camp outside the city.

It’s hot, and there’s no need for housing buildings; Yi Tian gathers the prisoners beside the western farmland for guarding.

The prisoners are either restrained by Restraining Belts or wearing hand and foot chains. In reality, the Five Tigers and one wolf are sufficient to defeat these prisoners.

But considering the large number of people, Yi Tian specifically sacrifices the training time of ten Elemental Warriors.

The Five Tigers lie resting in the nearby area, naturally quick-witted and able to react immediately to any prison escape attempts by the prisoners.

”I will definitely enforce strict precautions, and there will be no mishaps,” Gu Qianqiu immediately pledged, deciding to personally oversee the night shift.

”Hm!”

Yi Tian nodded, preparing to return to the villa.

With these prisoners, Yi Tian’s farming plans can be expedited by several days.

Apart from the two-meter tall Three-Eyed One-Horned Race.

The Minotaur Race, with an average height of around three meters. Compared to oxen, Minotaur warriors are like younger brothers; compared to Silver and Gold-level Minotaurs, even more so.

With equivalent strength, Minotaurs are 1.5 times more efficient in work compared to the Human Race.

After tomorrow, all farmlands should be cleared, and planting can commence.

The prospects are promising.

On the way back to the villa, Yi Tian passed by the ice storage and picked out two large blocks of ice.

These two large blocks took ten days to freeze properly, and calculating with the current temperature, these ice blocks would only melt by the next morning.

During the day, Yi Tian optimistically assumed the evening might not be as hot.

It’s already eight-thirty, the blood moon hangs high, not a breath of wind.

At this moment, the stuffiness is even more intense than in the early morning.

”Qixin, let’s put this block of ice in your room! So you won’t suffer from the heat.”

After returning to the villa, Yi Tian threw a large block of ice to Qixin.

”Daddy, this one’s ours.”

Seeing Yi Tian, Third Child immediately ran over and took another block of ice from Yi Tian’s hand.

This block of ice was taller than Third Child, but Third Child hugged it as if it weighed nothing.

Fifth Child even jumped directly onto the ice block, pressing down with his belly, and clamored about wanting to sleep on the ice at night.

Chat channel in the division.

”I want to report, you all have boxes, why don’t I? The delay shouldn’t be this long! What’s even worse is that they don’t even have a single gold bead on them, the weapons and swords are nowhere to be found? Those annoying Celestial Dao Stones, just pretending to be dead.” - Fei Yiming from Red Rock Star’s Qiong Race.

Yi Tian was eating iced watermelon delivered by Liyue while reading the chat. This message caught Yi Tian’s attention.

”Fei Yiming, this shouldn’t be happening under normal circumstances; the Celestial Dao is ultimately just. When defeating the indigenous people, did you employ other means, like mercenaries?” - Yi Tian from the Earth Human Race.

Yi Tian had been pondering this issue while reaping immense benefits.

If such Celestial Dao Fortune and misfortune descended together, at a crucial moment, hiring a slightly higher-level mercenary could solve the problem without any effort.

The treasure chests, weapons, and beast cores obtained after victory could fully cover the mercenary fees, with plenty leftover.

”Yi Tian, I did hire a mercenary. This time there were quite a few people, and I was afraid I couldn’t handle it, so I had to hire a C-level mercenary for help. Could it be because I hired a mercenary...” Fei Yiming from the Qiong Race seemed awakened by Yi Tian’s words.

”Exactly! Hiring mercenaries to repel the enemy is not accepted by Celestial Dao Fortune. If everyone followed this method, everything we do would be meaningless.” - Yi Tian from the Earth Human Race.

After verifying his guess, Yi Tian stopped speaking.

”Sigh! Hiring a mercenary cost me ten thousand, then having Brother Pig dispose of the corpses cost over a thousand more. My life, which was already far from abundant, is made even worse...” - Fei Yiming from the Red Rock Star’s Qiong Race.

”Upstairs, you can still have Brother Pig burn the corpses; now Brother Pig has put up a sign saying no more corpse collection. Even refuses Celestial Dao Coins given to him.”

”Don’t be harsh on Brother Pig. The Brother Pig Crematorium is already running at 150% overcapacity.”

”Better to bury them all, don’t wait for Brother Pig, otherwise you won’t want to handle it tomorrow.”

”I really admire Yi Tian now. He just mentioned yesterday that Celestial Dao has a rhythm of tension and relaxation; it gives hope when desperate, and in despair, it offers hope. Almost everyone has obtained vegetable seeds, grain seeds, and various saplings today.” - Deer Biyong from the Deer Race.

”It will be twenty days before they mature, even the fastest-growing greens need fifteen days. These two weeks will be tough for us!” - Gui Jie from the Turtle Race.

”I just hope it won’t be this hot tomorrow.” - Yang Yangyang from the Sheepman Race.

”Now all I want is a drink. Did you know? Wealth Tower recently released a message about a variety of spirit fruits that are dazzling. The most tempting thing is that this time there’s spirit fruit wine, and it’s B-level. I’m planning to use all my assets to grab a bottle; I can’t wait any longer. A sip would make me feel like a celestial being.” - Skage from the Celestial Gift Race.

”B-level spirit wine is not cheaper than spirit fruits. Do you have that much money, Skage?” - Shan Dashan from Black Stone Star.

”You tasteless people. If I manage to buy a bottle of wine for 150 Celestial Dao Coins, I’ll be grateful. Tomorrow will certainly be a contest among wine lovers; you simply don’t understand people like us. We’re not after those three attribute points.” - Skage from the Celestial Gift Race.

”Skage, what did you say? You have one hundred and fifty thousand Celestial Dao Coins?” - Shan Dashan from the Black Stone Star Human Race.

”Damn, I only have a few thousand Celestial Dao Coins and still need to save up to ten thousand to upgrade an attribute. Skage, how did you develop so well? Do you have the rumored gold mine?” - Yang Yangyang from the Sheepman Race.

”Back on our planet, I was a Master in artifact refining. Upon arriving in the Celestial Dao World, I gained some insight, achieving minor success in refining, allowing me to forge C-level divine weapons. Now C-level weapons go for two hundred thousand each at the auction house. Is it strange I have one hundred and fifty thousand?” - Skage from the Celestial Gift Race.

”No wonder you’ve been shouting in the regional channel about acquiring C-level metals, turns out you’re crafting divine weapons.”

Many expressed astonishment, realizing this little dwarf was actually an undercover big shot.

Even Yi Tian couldn’t help but look at Skage differently, practically equivalent to having a quasi-C-level weapon crystal.

It’s considered ”quasi” because manually refining is certainly much slower than the weapon platform’s forging.

Yi Tian watched the division channel for a while, gaining a grasp on the aftermath of this indigenous invasion.

Lords have acquired seeds once again, and this time the seeds obtained are ten times the starting amount. If they can endure the twenty-day period, another brief spring will arrive.

Yi Tian guessed many lords obtained the Mist Scroll, yet not a word about it was seen in the division channel.

Some purely want to keep their wealth hidden, while others plan big.

Simultaneously, the large number of Mist Scrolls appearing made the food crisis seem less bleak.

If it comes to it, using the Mist Scroll to leave the territory will always lead to finding food.

These Celestial Dao Rules, really...

”Purple Phoenix Moon Dance, I’m sending you the Celestial Dao Coins now. [Celestial Dao Coin * 50 million] Transaction [None].”

Upon seeing Purple Phoenix Moon Dance online, Yi Tian immediately transferred a portion of Celestial Dao Coins to Purple Phoenix Moon Dance.

”Purple Phoenix Moon Dance, if you can quickly help me gather the Elemental Warrior Design Map, there’s another business deal worth 300 million Celestial Dao Coins waiting for you!” Yi Tian sent another message.

In Purple Phoenix Moon Dance’s large division, everyone is an A-level powerhouse; they don’t need elemental warrior defense. Collecting 3,600 Elemental Warrior Design Maps is entirely feasible.

As for the Element Core, only the first in the division and the top ten in the larger division receive it as a reward, so Yi Tian doesn’t count on Purple Phoenix Moon Dance for collecting it.

Yi Tian already figured out a method for collecting Element Cores.
