Global Lords: Me and My Calabash Kiddos

”Please wait a moment, after I finish the transaction with the Bright Island Steward, I’ll contact you immediately,” Yi Tian replied to Yi Tian.

”Alright, I’ll wait for your message, little brother. As a King-level influence, don’t drive too hard a bargain with Bright Island. These powers care about their dignity; if the deal doesn’t go through, they might resort to other means.”

”Of course! I have no grudges against Bright Island, I won’t offend a great power for no reason.”

After finishing the chat with Ta Fang, within a few minutes, the Bright Island Steward spoke in a difficult tone: ”Lord, after reporting to the Island Lord, the Island Lord said the price is too high. Bright Stones are top-grade among top-level stones, and we don’t have many left on Bright Island. We can only give ten million Bright Stones, and one unit of Star Shining Bright Stone is worth more than a hundred times a top-level stone; we’re even more scarce in that, and can only offer thirty thousand units.”

”I heard that the Spirit Demon Bead was once the supreme treasure of Bright Island. As a friend, I very much hope for the Spirit Demon Bead to reappear in brightness. I’m well aware of Bright Island’s reputation. I’ve heard Bright Stones are everywhere on the island. I’m sincere in trading with Bright Island, how can Bright Island refuse my sincerity?”

Yi Tian’s words expressed subtly, meaning he knew the foundation of Bright Island and advised against playing tricks. His offer was the bottom line, and refusal would break the deal.

The Bright Island Steward was shocked, thinking Yi Tian was not very knowledgeable about the Ten Kingdoms Region and trying to take advantage but found Yi Tian was no greenhorn.

The Bright Island Lord was right beside the Bright Island Steward, nodding after the Steward reported the matter.

Using Bright Stones abundant in supply to exchange for the ”Bright Bead,” as long as Yi Tian’s price wasn’t extortionate, the Bright Island Lord could accept it.

The resurgence of brightness would significantly enhance the Bright Island Lord’s combat power.

”The Island Lord agrees, the transaction can proceed! Thirty million Bright Stones, one hundred thousand Star Shining Bright Stones.”

The Bright Island Steward messaged Yi Tian: ”I’ll have someone prepare immediately. The transaction requires three hours.”

Bright Island possesses Storage Treasure, allowing quick preparation of goods.

”Alright, I await the good news. Additionally, I have a batch of captives from the Scorpio Gang, with their strength ranging from at least Late-stage Silver to Mid-stage Platinum, and some possess B-level Talent with Fifth Level of Weapon Mastery. Are you interested?”

Yi Tian continued asking the Bright Island Steward.

”The Scorpio Gang, notorious for their wicked deeds. Their crimes must be judged by Bright Island. How many captives are there?” asked the Bright Island Steward.

With a vast area of Bright Island, slaves were in short supply.

Especially high-strength slaves, adept at mining, and capable of venturing into ten-thousand-meter-deep mining caves, unafraid of insect or snake attacks.

”Over six hundred Late-stage Silver captives, over four hundred Golden Warriors, among them fifty are Late-stage Gold. Eight Platinum Warriors, one of whom is Mid-stage Platinum.”

Yi Tian relayed the number and strength to the Bright Island Steward.

”Quite an improvement from last time. But since they aren’t captives from the Demon Wolf Abyss, they must be priced lower. However, considering one with talent, I’ll offer a million Bright Stones,” the Bright Island Steward quoted.

Yi Tian felt speechless, just because they weren’t captives from the Demon Wolf Abyss, they had to be priced lower.

How deep is your hatred for the Demon Wolf Abyss?

A million top-level stones, not a small amount. The auction house couldn’t fetch this value, most worth around seven to eight hundred thousand top-level stones.

”Then I want Spirit-level Stone.” Yi Tian decided to procure more Spirit-level Stone.

”If it were anyone else, I’d offer at most eight thousand Star Shining Bright Stones. But in consideration of Lord Yi Tian, I’ll give you ten thousand,” replied the Bright Island Steward.

”Didn’t you say the price of a Star Shining Bright Stone is a hundred times that of a Bright Stone?”

Yi Tian nearly blurted out: It should have been ten thousand units of Star Shining Bright Stones from the start.

”No! The price isn’t calculated like that. Star Shining Bright Stones are truly scarce, only our super mines can produce them, and mining them requires digging in ten-thousand-meter deep caves. Lord Yi Tian, inquire around the Ten Kingdoms Region, you’ll find that a hundred top-level stones barely exchange for one Spirit-level Stone.”

Despite the Bright Island Steward’s reasonable and well-founded argument,

Yi Tian felt it was because Bright Stones were cheaper compared to other top-level stones, and Spirit-level Stones had their own price. Thus, the Bright Island Steward concocted these warped reasons.

Yi Tian refrained from debating, as he wouldn’t suffer a loss anyway.

The Bright Island Steward was urged by the Island Lord to gather Bright Stones and informed Yi Tian that he would be temporarily absent.

Yi Tian turned to the warehouse area and told Ta Fang: ”Brother Ta Fang, I’m done here.”

”Ah, little brother! This time, the divine weapons, longbows, and armors you’ve let our Longlong Tribe sell on your behalf are valued at 5.7 million units of High-Level Wood; the Ordinary and High-Level Siege Ropes are valued at 4.23 million units of High-Level Wood; the Bronze Assault Boats are valued at 2.2 million units of High-Level Wood. The total is 12.13 million units of High-Level Wood. After deducting the commission, it comes to more than 10.91 million units of High-Level Wood. Our Longlong Tribe will round it to 11 million units of High-Level Wood for you. The price of Top-grade Wood is ten times that of High-Level Wood, and we’re planning to trade with you with one hundred thousand units of Top-grade Wood and one hundred thousand units of High-Level Wood…”

Ta Fang explained diligently to Yi Tian.

Previously, through Ta Fang, Yi Tian had learned about the Indigenous People’s market price for High-Level Wood.

Approximately one unit of High-Level Wood can be exchanged for a piece of top-level stone.

On his territory, Yi Tian’s High-Level Wood was evaluated by the Celestial Dao Rules to be the same price as top-level stone, which is one thousand Celestial Dao Coins per unit.

Top-grade Wood was evaluated at ten thousand Celestial Dao Coins per unit.

It aligns with the Indigenous People’s prices.

The auction house and Indigenous People’s goods are increasingly approaching equilibrium.

There is no opportunity to resell an item for a huge profit.

”No problem!”

Yi Tian promptly traded with Ta Fang.

Ta Fang had already prepared the wood, and when Yi Tian returned the A-level Beast Core deposit, Wood Warehouse No. 1 gained another batch of precious wood.
