Global Lords: Me and My Calabash Kiddos

Even if all of these appeared in a single Treasure Chest, their value would exceed one billion Celestial Dao Coins.

But this isn’t a probability issue—it’s a metaphysical one.

”The current highest bid: two thousand Spirit-level Stones and five hundred million Celestial Dao Coins. If there are no new bids, the auction will end in thirty seconds.”

Xu Lingyun was stunned. Born of the Divine Race, she’d seen and heard a lot. She also knew a bit about Wealthiest in the World.

Wealthiest in the World—synonymous with money and riches.

It was only upon this ”close contact” that she truly felt Wealthiest in the World’s charisma.

Plenty of top moguls were cursing!

The first round wasn’t so bad, right?

Why did the second round suddenly flip the table?

But the value of the King’s Treasure Chest wasn’t something you could measure with money. A few Lords had given up restraint and were locked onto the King’s Treasure Chest.

”The current highest bid: two thousand Spirit-level Stones, five hundred and sixty million…”

Two thousand Spirit-level Stones and six hundred million Celestial Dao Coins.

The moment Xu Lingyun spoke up, Yi Tian knew he had a competitor.

As soon as he heard the price, he didn’t even hesitate and called out six hundred million Celestial Dao Coins.

Xu Lingyun didn’t even finish what she was saying.

”The current highest bid: two thousand Spirit-level Stones, six hundred million Celestial Dao Coins. If there are no new bids, the auction will end in thirty seconds.”

Yi Tian’s bid was announced.

Raise the price?

Bidding higher was almost guaranteed to lose money, unless you drew something you really needed, then at least you’d feel like it was worth it.

And sure enough, a Lord raised the bid!

This time, the opponent raised it to two thousand Spirit-level Stones and six hundred and fifty million Celestial Dao Coins.

Two thousand Spirit-level Stones, seven hundred and fifty million Celestial Dao Coins—Yi Tian immediately struck back, directly bumping up the bid by a hundred million.

”The current auction price: two thousand Spirit-level Stones, seven hundred and fifty million Celestial Dao Coins. If there are no new bids, the auction will end in thirty seconds.”

Damn!

The Lord competing against Yi Tian swore—who the hell is this?

Increasing the bid by a hundred million at a time, what kind of dominance is this? Wealthiest in the World?

Could that Wealthiest-in-the-World ant even get Spirit-level Stones?

The spectators were also dumbfounded by this price.

The last time this kind of scene happened was at the Wealth Tower.

This level—so far, it was the highest individual bid ever at an auction!

After today, the Celestial Void Divine Tower was going to be famous.

Yi Tian’s competitor weighed things over and over but didn’t increase the bid again.

Just not worth it!

”Auction countdown: three, two, one. Congratulations to the bidder for winning the King’s Treasure Chest at a price of two thousand Spirit-level Stones and seven hundred and fifty million Celestial Dao Coins.”

The resources and funds landed, and the King’s Treasure Chest on the competition platform vanished, appearing where Yi Tian was.

This time, the Spirit-level Stones blocked some of the super tycoons at the door, letting Yi Tian pay a relatively low price for the King’s Treasure Chest. According to Yi Tian’s estimation, he’d prepped to go as high as two billion Celestial Dao Coins.

With the King’s Treasure Chest in hand, Yi Tian immediately exited the Celestial Void Divine Tower and headed to the Zhongfei King’s Tower.

”That was close, almost missed that Diamond Treasure Chest.”

When Yi Tian arrived at the Zhongfei King’s Tower, they were auctioning the second-to-last item.

As soon as the Diamond Treasure Chest went up, Yi Tian tossed eighty million Celestial Dao Coins onto the table.

Just as Yi Tian expected, a Lord matched with ninety million Celestial Dao Coins.

Must be those super tycoons who’d just left the Celestial Void Divine Tower.

Yi Tian wouldn’t back down and straight up offered one hundred million Celestial Dao Coins.

This bid made the profit-obsessed super tycoons frown.

Then one of the super tycoons raised the bid by another five million Celestial Dao Coins.

One hundred and twenty million Celestial Dao Coins.

Yi Tian bid!

The Diamond Treasure Chest could never actually pull that kind of value.

After seeing how determined the bidder was, the super tycoons quit.

Anyway, there were over thirty Diamond Treasure Chests up today.

With their financial muscle, could they really not score even one Diamond Treasure Chest?

Besides, they seriously suspected the auction house owner was faking it—purposely having friends and family jack up the price to cheat them out of their hard-earned coin.

Contempt for the owner!

The second Diamond Treasure Chest changed hands.

Then the third, fourth…

With the super tycoons joining in, it wasn’t as easy for Yi Tian as with that first Diamond Treasure Chest.

Usually it took a premium of a hundred and twenty million to land each Diamond Treasure Chest.

For the super tycoons, even if they lost out a bit, they were determined to snag a Diamond Treasure Chest.

But Yi Tian’s plan was—even if he lost several times over, it was still worth it to him.

The super tycoons simply couldn’t compete with Yi Tian.

When Yi Tian claimed his tenth Diamond Treasure Chest, Celestial Dao Tycoon got a little irritated and went toe-to-toe with Yi Tian.

The price hit a hundred and fifty million, and Celestial Dao Tycoon was defeated.

From the tenth Diamond Treasure Chest onwards, Yi Tian had to pay a hundred and fifty million Celestial Dao Coins for each one.

In less than half a day, it was Yi Tian who drove up the price of the Diamond Treasure Chests.

Purple Phoenix Moon Dance was having the same experience.

Yi Tian could foresee that super tycoons would play it just like him, so he went straight to Purple Moon Dance with thirty billion Celestial Dao Coins at once.

The Lords selling Diamond Treasure Chests were all grinning from ear to ear.

The day flew by quickly.

For the last Diamond Treasure Chest, Yi Tian faced Celestial Dao Tycoon and Qian Duoduo, three competitors.

The price broke two hundred million, and Yi Tian bought it for two hundred and ten million Celestial Dao Coins.

Luckily Qian Duoduo and Celestial Dao Tycoon kept their wits about them. If it’d been any other Lord, they’d definitely have gone all-in against Yi Tian.

Precisely because they were rational, they could stand out in just two short months.

Countless super tycoons were frustrated—what the hell did they do all day?

After wasting the entire day, not a single Diamond Treasure Chest was snagged.

That made them sigh—there’s always someone better, and the sky truly has no end.

By six p.m., Yi Tian had collected eighteen Diamond Treasure Chests and one King’s Treasure Chest.

”[Diamond Treasure Chest x15][Celestial Dao Coin x1.1 billion] Transaction [None].”

After Yi Tian secured the final Diamond Treasure Chest, Purple Phoenix Moon Dance traded over all of the Diamond Treasure Chests she’d acquired and her leftover funds to Yi Tian as well.

Yi Tian confirmed the transaction.

He did a quick calculation; with the King’s Treasure Chest included, he’d spent a total of three billion, one hundred seventy million Celestial Dao Coins.

Add in what Purple Phoenix Moon Dance spent, and it was five billion, seventy million Celestial Dao Coins in all.

Celestial Dao Coin balance: six billion, one hundred seventy million.

”Thanks! The two thousand Spirit-level Stones I gave you can count as your reward, no need to pay me back!” Yi Tian said generously.

”You helped me build my city, and I helped you collect Diamond Treasure Chests. If anything, I still owe you. Whatever I owe you, I will pay it back.” Purple Phoenix Moon Dance refused Yi Tian’s gift.

”Whatever, it’s your call!” Yi Tian didn’t say any more, afraid Purple Phoenix Moon Dance would get worked up.

”Looks like there weren’t any incidents in the territory today. Maybe the Celestial Dao Rules are finally being considerate and letting us rest for a day.” Yi Tian said to Purple Phoenix Moon Dance.

”There have definitely been some big changes! I’ve got flocks of birds in my territory, plus some small animals running out onto the prairie and up the mountains. Butterflies, bees—even before, it was just a bunch of annoying bugs, never any of these.”

Purple Phoenix Moon Dance told Yi Tian about some of the changes in her own territory.

”Second Child, anything unusual in the territory? Like birds flying in, or small animals?” Yi Tian asked Second Child.

Except for Seventh-Child, the other six Little Kiddos spent the day making Points Coins, and as soon as they got off work, they all rushed to Yi Tian’s side.

Seventh-Child and Yin Yang Giant Panda teamed up, logging in the Cloud Snow Forest outside the territory.
